The Pd/Al nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by aqueous cementation were employed to probe hydrodechlorination (HDC) efficiencies of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in aqueous solution and 2-chlorobiphenyl (2-PCB) in surfactant solution. Major factors affecting HDC performance were investigated including acidic types, pH conditions, and surfactant types and their concentrations. Among HCl, H 2 SO 4 , H 3 PO 4 , formic acid, and acetic acid, only HCl was the proper pH adjustor to initiate HDC reaction of 4-CP with Pd/Al NPs at pH 3.0 due to the particular penetration function of active Cl − on the compact oxide film of Al. Aqueous pH states obviously influenced HDC efficiency and its values stable at pH 3–4 were the optimum range for HDC with HCl adjustor. 0.389 mM of 4-CP could be almost completely dechlorinated into phenol after 30-min reaction using 2 g/L of Pd/Al NPs with 1.2 wt.% of Pd loading. In addition, the effect of surfactants on HDC process of highly hydrophobic 2-PCB was explored, which were employed for its better solubilization. The addition of surfactants including SDS, CTAB, Tween 80, or Brij 30 had adverse effect on HDC activity of Pd/Al NPs due to their inhibiting effect on Al corrosion. The adverse effect was closely related with the concentrations of surfactants especially for each CMC level and molecular structures.

This study presents a phase-regulation strategy for enhancing the thermoelectric performance of BiSbSe3-based materials through the controlled formation of a semiconductor–semimetal heterostructure. By incorporating sulfur and aluminum dopants, a hexagonal phase is induced within an orthorhombic BiSbSe3 matrix, thereby establishing a bidirectionally adjustable phase composition through compositional regulation. The hexagonal phase exhibits semimetallic behavior, with a Fermi level positioned higher than that of the semiconductor matrix. This electronic structure difference is consistent with low-barrier interfacial charge transfer and a modulation-doping-like redistribution of electrons across the phase boundaries, contributing to enhanced carrier concentration without severely sacrificing carrier mobility. Moreover, the inherently low thermal conductivity of both phases, combined with enhanced phonon scattering at the interfaces and simultaneous control over grain refinement during phase regulation, effectively suppresses the lattice thermal conductivity. The resulting biphasic structure enables coupled regulation of electronic and thermal transport, synergistically improving thermoelectric performance, achieving a peak thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) of 1.50 at 773 K in Bi0.98Sb0.98Al0.04Se2.8S0.2 under the fixed 2 wt % CuI donor-additive condition. This improvement relative to BiSbSe3 materials demonstrates the effectiveness of phase engineering in decoupling electrical and thermal transport properties. These results highlight interface-engineered semiconductor–semimetal heterostructures as an effective design route for high-performance thermoelectric materials.

We reported an investigation of the influence of length scale on stabilization of boron carbide (B 4 C) during plasma activated sintering. In the current work, AA7075/B 4 C powders containing two types of B 4 C particles (Micro-B 4 C and Nano-B 4 C) were cryomilled for 8 h in liquid nitrogen, respectively. The characterization of as-cryomilled powders indicated that both Micro-B 4 C particles and Nano-B 4 C particles could distribute homogeneously in the matrix. AA7075/Nano-B 4 C powder have a finer particle size and grain size relative to that of the AA7075/Micro-B 4 C powder. The influence of length scale on stabilization of B 4 C particles during plasma activated sintering was investigated in details. The statistical grain diameter analysis from transmission electron microscopy observation revealed that the grain size of AA7075/Nano-B 4 C bulk (~77.4 nm) is finer relative to those of the AA7075 bulk (~193.5 nm) and AA7075/Micro-B 4 C bulk (~184.7 nm). The coupling effect of ex-situ Nano-B 4 C particles and in-situ dispersion particles contribute to the enhancement of the stabilization of the AA7075/Nano-B 4 C bulk.

O 2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.08) cathode materials were successfully synthesized by a sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction and the refinement data indicate that all materials have typical α-NaFeO 2 structure with R -3 m space group, and the a -axis has almost no change, but there is a slight decrease in the c lattice parameter as well as the cell volume. Scanning electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy prove that all the samples have uniform particle size of about 200–300 nm and smooth surface. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping shows that aluminum has been homogeneously doped in the Li 1.2 Mn 0.56 Ni 0.16 Co 0.08 O 2 cathode material. The cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveal that appropriate Al-doping contributes to the reversible lithium-ion insertion and extraction, and then reduces the electrochemical polarization and charge transfer resistance.

Burning rate modulation is a crucial but challenging technology for designing solid propellants. The core–shell structured Al@AP and Al@AP/CuO were prepared and their thermal reaction properties were investigated at different pressures. The precise catalytic mechanism of doped CuO in oxidizer and the key reason for its burning rate modulating effect on solid propellants were elucidated by combining DFT calculations. The *NH 4 ClO 4 on the CuO (1 1 1) surface is more likely to undergo a dehydrogenation reaction first. The large difference in activation energy between *NH 4 ClO 4 →*NH 3 +*ClO 4 +*H and *NH 4 ClO 4 → NH 3 + HClO 4 explains the reasons that CuO can reduce the ignition delay of the Al@AP. CuO promotes the decomposition of the AP@Al at the low- and high-temperature decomposition (LTD and HTD) stage. For the Al@AP-CuO, the temperature of the high-temperature decomposition peak (THTD) does not shift to the lower temperature range with increasing pressure. These results are responsible for a reduction of pressure exponent in the presence of minor CuO as reported in the literature. CuO can facilitate the transformation process *NH 3 →*NH 2 on the CuO (1 1 1) surface at low-temperature and low-pressure conditions. However, at high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, it can inhibit the reaction *NH 2 →*NH→*N, so the burning rate of solid propellants can be controlled.

Solar thermochemical energy storage based on calcium looping (CaL) process is a promising technology for next-generation concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. However, conventional calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) pellets suffer from slow reaction kinetics, poor stability, and low solar absorptance. Here, we successfully realized high power density and highly stable solar thermochemical energy storage/release by synergistically accelerating energy storage/release via binary sulfate and promoting cycle stability, mechanical strength, and solar absorptance via Al–Mn–Fe oxides. The energy storage density of proposed CaCO 3 pellets is still as high as 1455 kJ kg −1 with only a slight decay rate of 4.91% over 100 cycles, which is higher than that of state-of-the-art pellets in the literature, in stark contrast to 69.9% of pure CaCO 3 pellets over 35 cycles. Compared with pure CaCO 3 , the energy storage power density or decomposition rate is improved by 120% due to lower activation energy and promotion of Ca 2+ diffusion by binary sulfate. The energy release or carbonation rate rises by 10% because of high O 2− transport ability of molten binary sulfate. Benefiting from fast energy storage/release rate and high solar absorptance, thermochemical energy storage efficiency is enhanced by more than 50% under direct solar irradiation. This work paves the way for application of direct solar thermochemical energy storage techniques via achieving fast energy storage/release rate, high energy density, good cyclic stability, and high solar absorptance simultaneously.

γ-valerolactone (GVL) is a sustainable chemical, which can be obtained by hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) and levulinate. Herein, we reported a solvent-free hydrogenation of butyl levulinate (BL) to GVL and 1,4-pentanediol (1,4-PDO) over a skeletal Cu-Al-Zn catalyst. The skeletal Cu-Al-Zn catalyst was prepared from Devarda's alloy by alkali leaching and the catalyst was characterized by different analysis methods. The aluminum in the Devarda's alloy was dissolved by sodium hydroxide in the leaching process and many active Cu atoms were generated on the catalyst surface and the skeletal Cu-Al-Zn exhibited many micrometer-scale irregular particles with rough surface. The skeletal Cu-Al-Zn catalyst showed the excellent performance in the solvent-free hydrogenation of BL to GVL under constant hydrogen pressure (5 wt% catalyst loading, 180°C, 6 MPa of H 2 , 6 h): the LA conversion was 100%, the GVL yield was 74.75% and the 1,4-PDO yield was 25.63%. Moreover, the catalyst showed stable performance and it was reusable up to 5 times without apparent loss of activity. A stable hydrogen pressure with Zn would suppressed the dehydration of 1,4-PDO.

Basic sites are important to promote carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS 2 ) hydrolysis activity while improving the oxidation resistance of hydrolysis catalysts is a challenge. Here, we report an N -doped alumina-based catalyst ( N -K@Al), where the complete hydrolysis removal of COS and CS 2 by the N -doped catalyst was extended up to 15 h at 160 °C, and the turnover frequency (TOF) value of the catalyst was increased from 0.85 × 10 -2 s −1 to 1.16 × 10 -2 s −1 . The results showed that the strong interaction between nitrogen and potassium decreased the reactive oxygen density and activated –OH, weakening the oxygen mobility. In addition, the beneficial effects of N -doped included the addition of moderately and weakly basic sites by pyridine N. The optimized N -K@Al showed good catalytic performance in the hydrolysis of COS and CS 2 removal with lower reaction temperature and higher total hydrogen sulfide yield. Density functional theory calculations revealed that N -K@Al reduced the Gibbs free energy of COS and CS 2 hydrolysis to 0.21 eV and 0.33 eV, respectively, contributing to the enhanced catalytic activity. The present study presents new strategies for developing efficient antioxidant organosulfur hydrolyzers and other practical industries.

The Li 1.6 Mn 1.6 O 4 driven lithium ion-sieve (LIS) is considered as a potential adsorbents for recovering Li + ions from brines owing to their good theoretical adsorption performance and excellent adsorption selectivity. However, the poor cycle stability and the decrease of adsorption capacity resulting from the manganese dissolution loss limit its practical applications. In this work, to mitigate this issue, several novel Al and Cr co-doped manganese LISs were prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis method, followed by the acid treatment. The characterization results show that Al and Cr ions are uniformly doped into the spinel crystal structure of LIS, and the introduction of Al and Cr ions can cause the crystal shrinkage, decrease the Mn 3+ content, and raise the mean valence of manganese in the co-doped samples, effectively improving their structural stability. Compared with un-doped ion-sieve H 1.6 Mn 1.6 O 4 , the optimal co-doped ion-sieve H 1.6 Mn 1.54 Al 0.02 Cr 0.04 O 4 with 2% Al doping and 4% Cr doping possesses a higher lithium adsorption capacity, lower manganese dissolution loss, and stronger cyclic stability. Additionally, the H 1.6 Mn 1.54 Al 0.02 Cr 0.04 O 4 possesses a high adsorption selectivity of Li + over Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , K + and Na + . Furthermore, the lithium adsorption is determined to be a chemical and monolayer adsorption process on the prepared LIS. The good lithium adsorption capacity and adsorption selectivity as well as the good recyclability make the prepared Al and Cr co-doped LIS a promising adsorbent for the efficient lithium recovery form brines.

In the present study, the reaction process and reaction mechanism of the aluminothermic reduction of NaVO 3 to prepare aluminum-vanadium intermediate alloy were investigated by experimental analysis and quantum chemical calculations. The results of thermal analysis and isothermal experiments indicated that the aluminothermic reduction of NaVO 3 was a multi-step process and temperature played a critical role in this process. The aluminum-vanadium intermediate alloy was generated when the temperature exceeded 963 ºC, and it could be further separated from the reduction product after the addition of slag-forming agents (CaO and CaF 2 ) at 1600 ºC. Furthermore, an atomic-level insight into the reaction between aluminum and NaVO 3 was explored based on the electrostatic potential (ESP) analysis of the reactivity of NaVO 3 . The results showed that the aluminum atom first interacted with NaVO 3 to form an intermediate complex through electrostatic interaction , and then NaVO 3 was reduced to NaVO 2 under the continuous action of aluminum. Further, the newly formed NaVO 2 was consequently converted to aluminum-vanadium intermediate alloy under the continuous action of aluminum atoms. These theoretical results were essentially consistent with the experimental data, which provided a fundamental understanding about the reaction mechanism of NaVO 3 with Al. Moreover, the aluminothermic reduction of NaVO 3 also provided a feasible and environmentally friendly metallurgical approach for preparing aluminum-vanadium intermediate alloy.

It is of great importance to develop a most efficient, recyclable, and ecofriendly process to produce novel structured phospholipid emulsifiers. Herein, innovative medium-chain structured phospholipid (MCSPL) emulsifiers were synthesized through transesterification of soybean lecithins with medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) promoted by Zn- or Al-incorporated Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 , denoted by Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /M (M = Zn or Al). Resultingly, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /M (M = Zn or Al) exhibited the most superior reactivity with 97.1% or 88.7% MCFA incorporation to other benchmark catalysts and also had excellent magnetic separability and recyclability. Noticeably, targeted MCSPLs possessed almost more superior emulsifying properties to other phospholipid emulsifiers, and had potential for use as oil–in–water emulsifiers. Conclusively, the present findings demonstrate that transesterification promoted by Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /M (M = Zn or Al) can be a promising approach for green, economic, and highly effective synthesis of novel dual-function phospholipid emulsifiers with bioactive and emulsifying properties in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Ni–Al–Cr alloys in the β phase (B2–NiAl) region exhibit remarkable stability and mechanical property. Through thermal explosion (TE) reaction, Ni–Al–Cr intermetallic compounds with high porosity can be obtained. In this study, the focus lies on analyzing the macroscopic morphology, microstructure, phase distribution, TE behaviour, and the mechanical property of porous Ni–Al–Cr in the β phase region. Following the TE reaction, the Al-rich sintered product demonstrates a uniform phase composition and high porosity, reaching 44.39%. The vigorous TE reaction promotes the formation of interconnected pores, while the high porosity structure compromises the mechanical properties of the sample. Conversely, the Al-poor sintered product, due to a moderate TE reaction and low porosity structure, maintains its complete morphology and exhibits excellent compression resistance (yield stress reaching 538 MPa). This study offers valuable insights for the fabrication of porous Ni–Al–Cr materials with exceptional structure and performance.
