Ternary Zn–Mn–Ni alloy coatings were electrodeposited for the first time from a choline chloride based ionic liquid with the aim of collecting properties of binary Zn–Mn and Zn–Ni alloys into one alloy system. The effect of electrodeposition potential on the composition and corrosion performance of the obtained ternary Zn–Mn–Ni deposits was investigated and contrasted with the characteristics of Zn–Mn and Zn–Ni deposits. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that the deposition of ternary Zn–Mn–Ni alloys behaved differently from the deposition of binary Zn–Mn and Zn–Sn alloys and that Mn deposition takes place at positive potentials in the Zn–Mn–Ni electrolyte than in the Zn–Mn electrolyte due to the presence of Ni 2+ ions in the electrolyte. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the Zn–Mn–Ni ternary alloys consist of a lattice of Zn (with Mn and Ni imbedded inside) at low electrodeposition potentials and MnZn(with Ni imbedded inside) phase at high electrodeposition potentials. Chemical composition analysis show that the Mn content in the ternary Zn–Mn–Ni alloy increased with increase in electrodeposition potential, whereas Zn and Ni contents are suppressed. The corrosion tests results indicate that through addition of Ni into the Zn–Mn binary alloy, the Zn–Mn–Ni alloy tailored are more corrosion resistant than the Zn–Mn binary alloy whilst the passivation behavior is still preserved.

The environmental pollution caused by antibiotics is becoming more serious. In this study, the Mn/BiPO4/g-C3N4composite (Mn-BPC) and the Ti/g-C3N4/BiPO4composite (Ti-BPC) were prepared by hydrothermal reaction method and solvent method, respectively, and applied to the degradation of tetracycline (TC) in an aqueous environment. The XRD and HRTEM results showed that these materials had the crystalline rod-like structure of BiPO4and abundant carbon, nitrogen and carbon–oxygen surface functional groups. The degradation of TC by Ti-BPC and Mn-BPC were nearly 92% and 79%, respectively. The degradation processes of TC were well consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and R2values were closer to 1. The trapping experiment showed that electron holes (h+) were the main reactive species for the degradation of tetracycline, OH· and O2−also have certain effects. Also, the possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of Ti-BPC and Mn-BPC composites was thereby proposed. TC was firstly adsorbed on the surface of catalysts, and subsequently degraded by reactive species such as h+, OH· and O2−generated under visible light excitation. This study shows that the Ti-BPC and Mn-BPC photocatalysts have great potential in antibiotic degradation and can provide new ideas for antibiotic removal in aqueous environments.Keywords:bismuth phosphate;graphite phase carbon nitride;tetracycline (TC)

MgAl2O4:M (M = Ti, Mn, Co, Ni) phosphors were successfully prepared by a modified polyacrylamide gel method. Calcination temperature and metal particle has significant effects on the phase transition, optical and color properties of Mg Al2O4: M phosphors. Ti, M n, Co and Ni metal particles introduced into the MgAl2O4 system can produce a variety of colours from white, grayish black, blue to turquoise blue. Mn, Co and Ni metal particles added into MgAl2O4 system can extend their light absorption to visible light range, while the Ti metal particles clad into the system did not improve significantly. Co metal particles appended into the MgAl2O4 system can cause fluorescence quenching of emission peak at 395 nm and enhancement of emission peak at 405 nm, while the Ti and Mn metal particles infused into the system can bring the enhancement of visible emission peak at 425 nm. The fluorescence quenching of the peak at 395 nm can be ascribed to the wavelength of Co metal particles matching the surface plasmon absorbance band of MgAl2O4:M phosphor. A reduction in emission intensity at 425 nm can be assigned to electron transfer from the conduction band (CB) of MgAl2O4 to the CB of metal particles causing non-radiative decay.

Summary The lithium transition metal orthosilicates (Li 2 MnSiO 4 ) compounds are considered key materials for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, they exhibit poor electronic conductivity and structural stability. Herein, the dual-phase ( Pmn2 1 , and Pn ) coexisting Li 2 Mn 1− x Ni x SiO 4 @C is prepared successfully via a two-step calcination process to address the aforementioned problems. The orthorhombic Pmn2 1 and Pn phase are expected to bring well solid-state Li diffusion properties (D Li + ) and structural stability for electrode material, respectively. Also, the Ni doping and carbon coating are expected to raise electronic conductivity. Then, the electrochemical performance of LIBs utilizing LiMn 0.995 Ni 0.005 SiO 4 @C, LiMn 0.985 Ni 0.015 SiO 4 @C, and LiMn 0.92 Ni 0.08 SiO 4 @C (ZNi-02 to ZNi-04) as cathode materials are investigated and compared with that of the LiB using Li 2 MnSiO 4 @C (ZNi-01). The ZNi-04 sample-based LiB shows well D Li + and a peak discharge capacity as high as 188.4 mAh g −1 . In addition, the ZNi-04 sample can still maintain a capacity of about 80 mAh g −1 at rate of 8 C. Such excellent electrochemical performance is ascribed to the synergistic effect of the dual-phase coexistence, the proper amount of Ni doping, and surface coating of carbon, which enhances the electrical conductivity and structural stability. Thus, Li 2 Mn 1− x Ni x SiO 4 @C has broad application chances as a high-performance LIBs electrode material.

Various transition metals (Fe, Mn, Cu and Ni) were doped into ordered mesoporous Co3O4 to synthesize Co3O4-composite spinels. Their formation was evidenced by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. It was found that Co3O4-composite spinels could efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove enrofloxacin (ENR) and the catalytic activity followed the order Co3O4–CuCo2O4 > Co3O4–CoMn2O4 > Co3O4–CoFe2O4 > Co3O4–NiCo2O4. Moreover, through the calculation of the specific apparent rate constant (ksapp), it can be proved that the Co and Cu ions had the best synergistic effect for PMS activation. The Co3O4-composite spinels presented a wide pH range for the activation of PMS, but strong acidic and alkaline conditions were detrimental to ENR removal. Higher reaction temperature could promote the PMS activation process. Sulfate radical was identified as the dominating reactive species in Co3O4-composite spinel/PMS systems through radical quenching experiments. Meanwhile, the probable mechanisms concerning Co3O4-composite spinel activated PMS were proposed.

A non-radical catalytic ozonation process functionalized by Mn(II)-sites was found effective to degrade oxalic acid as a typical refractory compound that is hard to remove through catalytic ozonation with hydroxyl radical oxidation. Specifically, we prepared functional Mn–C@Fe nanoparticles with carbon shell supporting Mn 3 O 4 for catalysis while encapsulating magnetic iron core for recycle. Batch study shows its excellent catalytic reactivity on the degradation of organics particular for the ozone-recalcitrant oxalic acid (20 min for 90.9% removal, kinetics constant of 0.045 min −1 ). Our mechanism study ruled out the hydroxyl radical oxidation, and highlighted the formation of a heptavalent Mn intermediate oxidant responsible for the fast degradation that was initiated via ozone activation of Mn(II)-sites on the carbon shell. Our findings underscore a non-radical catalytic ozonation as a promising alternative technology for the abatement of aqueous organic pollutants.

In recent years, most of the studies on nanozymes have focused on improving their catalytic activity and direct synthesis, but this task is still very complex. Bimetallic oxides are particularly popular due to their mixed valence and synergistic effects between different metal ions. In this study, Fe-Mn bimetallic oxide nano-cubes were prepared by fast and effective solvothermal synthesis, and nano-flower-like structures were grown on the surface of Fe-Mn oxide nanocubes via controlled etching. The synthesized Fe-Mn bimetallic oxide nano-flowers (FMBO NFs) have great oxidase-like activity. On this basis, a simple, economical and accurate colorimetric sensor was established by combining 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Exposure to L-cysteine (L-Cys) inhibited the catalytic activity of FMBO NFs. As the concentration of L-Cys increased, the absorbance at 652 nm decreased, with a good linear relationship in the range of 0.01-1000 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 3.99 × 10 -11 M, and the detection of L-Cys in the actual sample egg yolk was successfully achieved. This study provides theoretical support for the effective design of bimetallic oxide nanozyme activity, and can guide the development of an accurate detection system for the analysis of L-Cys in food.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) serves as a key platform molecule for producing high-value chemicals via green and efficient photocatalytic oxidation. Transition metal oxides, particularly spinel substances, are promising heterogeneous catalysts due to their ability to promote interfacial electron transfer. However, the impact of interfacial electron transfer in HMF photocatalytic oxidation on spinel catalysts remains largely unexplored. In this study, we engineered Mn 4+ -O V -Co 2+ active sites in cobalt-based spinel by in-situ (MCO 4-δ -1) and post-doping (MCO 4-δ -2) strategies to investigate their impact on photocatalytic HMF oxidation. The microstructure morphology, chemical valence states, and band structure of prepared catalysts were systematically characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) techniques. The results revealed that the post-doping catalyst (MCO 4-δ -2) exhibited a higher density of surface oxygen vacancy (Ov), significantly enhancing charge transfer and HMF photocatalytic conversion activity. Specifically, MCO 4-δ -2 achieved an outstanding HMF oxidation product yield of 356.55 μmol g −1 under visible light over 4 h. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided mechanistic insights, revealing that the oxygen in the aldehyde group of HMF preferentially occupies surface Ov sites at Mn 4+ -Ov-Co 2+ interfaces, thereby facilitating selective HMF oxidation pathways. This study not only expand the application scope of cobalt-based spinel photocatalysts in biomass valorization but also provides an insight on the effects of doping-induced interfacial electronic effects in photocatalytic oxidation reactions.

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials have significant potential in the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). In this study, five hybrid materials were successfully synthesized by modifying silicotungstic acid (H4SiW12O40, abbreviated SiW12O40) with diverse MnL [L = Salen(L1), 5-Br-Salen(L2), 5-Cl-Salen(L3), 3-Me-Salen(L4), di-tBu-Salen(L5)] complexes, specifically derivatives featuring various substituents. All the compounds are characterized by IR spectra, elemental analyses and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). The band gaps of 1.33–1.52 eV and energy bands are obtained through the measurement of UV-Vis DRS and Mott–Schottky. Photocatalytic experiments of (MnL1)4SiW12O40 (compound 1), (MnL2)4SiW12O40 (compound 2), (MnL3)4SiW12O40 (compound 3), (MnL4)4SiW12O40 (compound 4) and (MnL5)4SiW12O40 (compound 5) indicate that compound 2 catalyst exhibits the best photocatalytic properties (RhB degrades to 6% during 70 min) while all of them possess catalytic activity for photodegradation of RhB under UV irradiation. Free radical trapping experiments show that the addition of PBQ (·O2− trapping agents) makes the RhB residual ratio increase from 6% to 60% and indicates that ·O2− is playing a pivotal role. A possible mechanism of RhB photodegradation in the presence of compound 2 is proposed based on free radical trapping experiments and the energy bands. Future work could focus on fine-tuning the molecular architecture through strategic modification of the organic ligands and precise control of the metal-to-POM ratio, potentially leading to optimized electronic structures and enhanced charge transfer kinetics for superior photocatalytic performance in environmental applications.

Graphical We designed a carbon-coated aluminum oxide carrier and reinforced it with Mn−Fe bimetal assemblages to prepare a high-performance catalyst Mn−Fe/C-Al 2 O 3 . Mn−Fe/C-Al 2 O 3 catalyst exhibited satisfactory catalytic ozonation activity and stability in the degradation of p -nitrophenol. Experiments and theoretical calculations revealed the internal degradation mechanism of the Mn−Fe/C-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, underscoring the role of the carbon-coated and bimetallic active unit in O 3 activation. Catalysts with high catalytic activity and low production cost are important for industrial application of heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO). In this study, we designed a carbon-coated aluminum oxide carrier (C-Al 2 O 3 ) and reinforced it with Mn−Fe bimetal assemblages to prepare a high-performance catalyst Mn−Fe/C-Al 2 O 3 . The results showed that the carbon embedding significantly improved the abundance of surface oxygen functional groups, conductivity, and adsorption capacity of γ-Al 2 O 3 , while preserving its exceptional mechanical strength as a carrier. The prepared Mn−Fe/C-Al 2 O 3 catalyst exhibited satisfactory catalytic ozonation activity and stability in the degradation of p -nitrophenol (PNP). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching experiments reveal that radical ( ⋅ OH and ⋅ O 2 ⋅ ) and nonradical oxidation ( 1 O 2 ) dominated the PNP degradation process. Theoretical calculations corroborated that the anchored atomic Fe and Mn sites regulated the local electronic structure of the catalyst. This modulation effectively promoted the activation of O 3 molecules, resulting in the generation of atomic oxygen species (AOS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The economic analysis on Mn−Fe/C-Al 2 O 3 revealed that it was a cost-competitive catalyst for HCO. This study not only deepens the understanding on the reaction mechanism of HCO with transition metal/carbon composite catalysts, also provides a high-performance and cost-competitive ozone catalyst for prospective application.

Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials (LRM) have received great attention owing to their high capacity and low cost. However, the mismatch between the widely used carbonate electrolyte and the LRM cathode and lithium metal anode causes a series of problems, such as electrolyte continuous oxidation, cathode structure degradation, and Li dendritic growth. Herein, inorganic oxide B2O3 is introduced as a dual-functional high-voltage electrolyte additive to construct stable cathode electrolyte interphase and solid electrolyte interphase for Li||LRM batteries. The modified interface derived from the additive can induce dendrite-free Li deposition, stabilize cathode structure, and inhibit transition metal dissolution. Moreover, the adverse side reactions are mitigated, thus enhancing Li+ transport rate and reducing interface impedance. With the addition of B2O3 into the carbonate electrolyte, the Li||LRM battery exhibits an enhanced discharge capacity of 221 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles, equaling a capacity retention of 92.1%. When the upper cut-off voltage is increased to 5 V, a superior capacity retention of > 85% can still be achieved after 150 cycles at 1 C. In addition, the low cost of B2O3 benefits for commercial application. This work offers new guidance for the research of low-cost, high-voltage dual-functional additives for advanced lithium metal batteries.

Dark pericarp disease (DPD) in litchi is a physiological disease caused by excess manganese (Mn) in pericarp, impacting fruit appearance and marketability and leading to substantial economic loss. The susceptibility of litchi varieties to DPD differs greatly, but the underlying mechanisms remain vague. In this study, we investigated the discrepancies in physiological and biochemical processes in pericarp of two varieties (Feizixiao and Heiye) resistant to DPD and a susceptible cultivar (Guiwei) during fruit development from the same orchard. Pericarp Mn in Guiwei was significantly lower than that in Feizixiao and slightly higher than that in Heiye through fruit growth. Under Mn stress, Feizixiao and Heiye maintained ROS homeostasis, whereas substantial H 2 O 2 accumulated in Guiwei. Reduced anthocyanins and soluble sugars and increased lignin were observed in diseased Guiwei compared to Feizixiao and Heiye. The expression of genes encoding Mn transporters, light-harvesting antenna complex, ROS scavenging proteins and enzymes involved in anthocyanin synthesis was downregulated, whereas that of genes functioning in H 2 O 2 production and lignin synthesis was upregulated in Guiwei, and that of genes involved in glucose metabolism was altered, suggesting that Mn was poorly transported and sequestrated within Guiwei pericarp cells, and excess Mn boosted H 2 O 2 overproduction. The inhibited anthocyanin synthesis, enhanced lignin accumulation and tuned sugar metabolism conferred Guiwei adaptability to Mn stress. Conclusively, the poor Mn intracellular transferability and variations in response to H 2 O 2 accumulation associated with disturbed photosynthetic energy deliver under excess Mn, are collaboratively responsible for the cultivar-dependent DPD vulnerability in litchi.
