The polysulfides shuttle and the uncontrolled dendrite growth remain the biggest roadblocks to the extensive application of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, we propose heterogeneous Al 2 O 3 -AlN nanosheets that rooted on carbon nanofiber film as bifunctional hosts for these troubles, which are prepared by the facile ammonification of two-dimension metal-organic framework MIL-101(Al). As the sulfur host, the Al 2 O 3 -AlN nanosheets exhibit a strong synergistic effect of physicochemical anchoring and outstanding electrocatalysis on polysulfides, which is strengthened by the superiorities of heterostructure. In the meantime, the excellent conductivity and fully exposed Al, N lithiophilic sites guarantee a fast and homogeneous Li deposition, thus suppressing the dendritic growth. Accordingly, with the assistance of these distinctive heterogeneous nanosheets, LSBs provide a striking capacity of 730 mAh g −1 and an outstanding cycling stability with a narrow decay of 0.025% per cycle for 1000 cycles under 5 C, and also excellent cycle and rate properties at high sulfur loadings with a reduced electrolyte. This work offers new viewpoints of heterostructures as both cathode and anode materials for advanced LSBs.

Age-hardening Al matrix composites (AMCs) exhibit great potential for developing advanced metal structural materials, while reinforcement configuration-dependent aging behaviors are still largely unclear. To gain an in-depth fundamental understanding of the effect of in-situ generated intragranular reinforcement on precipitation response, a systematical heat-treatment was applied for the in-situ generated Al 2 O 3 reinforced Al Cu composite prepared via powder metallurgical Al-5 wt% CuO (Al-5CuO) system. Results show that the nano-scale intragranular Al 2 O 3 activates the dislocation-assisted bulk diffusion pattern to promote the precipitation response, thus effectively shortening the peak-aging time of the composite as compared to the referenced Al-4 wt% Cu alloy matrix (Al 4Cu). The adequate precipitation within grains in the early-aging stage endows the peak-aged Al-5CuO composite with homogeneous size distribution of θ’ phase, contributing to the impressive mechanical properties . The mechanical analyses reveal that precipitation strengthening accounts for the prominent elevation of yield strength, while the enhanced ductility is achieved by decreasing the size and number density of precipitates segregated along reinforcement-matrix interface and grain boundary. This work yields new insights into intragranular reinforcement-driven precipitation response, which is crucial for designing age-hardening AMCs with high mechanical performance.

CaSiO 3 exhibits good arsenic capture performance, but it falls short of meeting the actual needs of power plants due to its susceptibility to acidic gases that inhibit its arsenic capture ability. In this study, an Al 2 O 3 /CaSiO 3 adsorbent was prepared by combining the anhydrous grinding and calcining methods. Arsenic vapor capture was conducted in flue gas containing or free of SO 2 and HCl within the temperature range of 800–1000 ℃. The research indicated that the preparation method used in this study resulted in uniform Al 2 O 3 doping that was less prone to agglomeration, thereby creating a good pore structure. The Al 2 O 3 /CaSiO 3 adsorbent exhibited the strongest arsenic capture capacity when the atomic molar ratio of Al/Si was 1:5, with an arsenic capture amount of 871.2 mg/kg, which was significantly higher than the capture capacity of the control group calcium silicate . The doping of Al atoms altered the structure and charge distribution of CaSiO 3 silica-oxygen chains, resulting in the formation of Al active sites with higher adsorption energy, which is more favorable for the adsorption of arsenic. Although the Al 2 O 3 /CaSiO 3 adsorbent reacts with acidic gases to form CaSO 4 and CaCl 2 , which can inhibit arsenic capture, it still maintains a high arsenic capture rate. Al 2 O 3 /CaSiO 3 has excellent arsenic removal, sintering resistance, and acid resistance, making it a promising composite adsorption material for arsenic removal.

Co-valorization of biomass and multiple solid wastes is essential to environment protection and energy security. Herein, aromatic-rich biofuel was produced from lignin and waste polyoxymethylene (POM) via catalytic co-pyrolysis process. Commercial and cheap γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst exhibited good catalytic performance. Series characterizations and bench-top pyrolysis experiments were conducted to illustrate the synergism between raw materials and the mechanism of aromatics formation. The TG analysis and thermodynamics calculation revealed that a remarkably positive synergistic effect existed between lignin and POM, which reduce the activation energies and make the reaction more conducive in terms of thermodynamics. Meanwhile, the yields of biochar and bio-oil increased considerably. Additionally, the operating conditions affected the product distributions significantly. The suitable mixing ratio of lignin to POM was around equal (5:5) with the bio-oil yield increased to 28.3 % and aromatic hydrocarbons selectivity increased to > 95 %. Moreover, POM, the precursor for alkylating reagents and hydrogen donors , could promote the deoxygenation reactions of phenolic intermediates and result into aromatic hydrocarbons. The acid sites of γ-Al 2 O 3 promoted series secondary cracking reactions (alkylation, deoxygenation), and thus improved bio-oil quality. Finally, the stability test showed that commercial γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst was slightly deactivated after 4 cycles because of coke deposits and acid sites loss.

It is difficult to enhance the char yields of polypropylene (PP) due to the preferential complete combustion. Successful formation of abundant char layer structure of PP upon flammability was obtained due to the synergistic effect of NiO, Al2O3and activated carbon (AC). From characterization of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), it was revealed that the microstructure of residual char contained large amount of carbon nanotubes. Compared to the modification of AC, NiO and Al2O3alone, the combination of AC, NiO and Al2O3dramatically promotes the charring ability of PP. In the case of AC and NiO, NiO plays a role of dehydrogenation, resulting in the degradation product, while AC mainly acts as carbonization promoter. The addition of Al2O3results in higher dispersion and smaller particle size of NiO, leading to greater exposure of active sites of NiO and higher dehydrogenation and carbonization activity. Compared to the neat PP, the decomposition temperature of the PP modified by combined AC, NiO and Al2O3was increased by 90 ℃. The yield of residual char of AC-5Ni-Al-PP reached as high as 44.6%. From the cone calorimeter test, the heat release rate per unit area (HRR) and total heat release per unit area (THR) of PP composite follows the order AC-5Ni-Al-PP < AC-10Ni-Al-PP < AC-Ni-PP < AC-15Ni-Al-PP < AC-1Ni-Al-PP. Compared to the neat PP, the peak of HRR declined by 73.8%, 72.7%, 71.3%, 67.6% and 62.5%, respectively.Keywords:polypropylene composites;activated carbon;NiO;Al2O3;carbon nanotubes;flame retardancy;thermal stability

The development of advanced luminescent materials is highly desirable for developing the energy-efficient lighting technology. However, it is still challenging to achieve stable full-color tuning in the same matrix upon a single-beam light excitation so as to ensure the high color stability and consistency. Herein, Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ co-doped sintered nanoporous glass via the dipping strategy is fabricated, which can emit blue, green and red emissions simultaneously by simply modifying the thermal treatment temperature. This full-color tuning is attributed to the dual roles of the thermal reduction of Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ in Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass and simultaneous emissions of Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ activators. The densification of nanoporous glass via sintering could effectively decrease the amount of hydroxyl groups that present in the glass matrix, resulting in 5 times enhancement of the photoluminescence intensity and longer photoluminescence lifetime of rare earth (RE) ions. The thermal reduction of Eu 3+ to Eu 2+ is due to the reduction environment provided by Al 3+ ions in the Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass. The energy transfer (ET) from Eu 2+ to Tb 3+ , Eu 2+ to Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ to Eu 3+ have been investigated in detail. Based on the ET mechanism, rational PL spectra design was demonstrated by varying the concentration of Eu 3+ ions in solution. The Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) and the Color Rendered Index (CRI) values of the white light emission glass are 7420 K (Cold-white emission) and 80.85, the temperature dependent photoluminescence (TDPL) analysis reflects the white light emission glass possesses high thermal stability and excellent thermal restorability. This facile fabrication and full-color tuning of Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ /Tb 3+ co-doped sintered nanoporous Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 glass may provide a novel luminescent material for white-light emitting diodes (WLEDs) application.

Precise regulation of reaction selectivity at high conversions is the key to non-terminated alkyne semi-hydrogenation. Herein, a support modification strategy was employed to incorporate trace amounts of Mg elements into alumina support. The modified support loaded Pd catalyst optimized the activity and selectivity of the non-terminated alkyne semi-hydrogenation reaction. The TEM and XRD characterization of the catalysts demonstrated the entry of Mg elements into the Al 2 O 3 lattice to achieve the modification of the support. For the 2-butyne-1-ol semi-hydrogenation reaction, the Pd 0.5 /Mg 1 @Al 2 O 3 catalyst showed 99 % conversion and 97 % selectivity of the cis product at hydrogen pressure of 0.1 MPa and 25 °C. The introduced Mg element changed the electronic structure of Pd nanoparticles in the catalyst. The precise regulation of the 2-butyne-1-ol semi-hydrogenation reaction was achieved by adjusting the ratio of Pd 0 to Pd 2+ using the synergistic effect of Pd 0 and Pd 2+ .

Designing solid electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium batteries that can be compatible with high-voltage cathodes is challenging. Here we report that the nanocomposite Li 2 B 12 H 12 -Al 2 O 3 mechano-chemically treated for 120 h achieves an electrochemical stability window up to ∼ 3.8 V owing to the interfacial interaction via B-O bonds and a high lithium ionic conductivity , σ(Li + ) = 2.73 × 10 −5 S cm −1 at 30 °C. Moreover, this electrolyte shows high compatibility with the lithium metal anode as demonstrated by stable Li plating/stripping for 300 cycles. These electrolyte properties enable the first demonstration of a 3.8 V all-solid-state battery In 1.3 Li 0.3 |Li 2 B 12 H 12 -Al 2 O 3 (25 vol%)|LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 (NCM811) operating for 120 cycles with a rate of 0.2 C and at 30 °C, with a reversible specific capacity of 77.5 mAh g −1 and Coulombic efficiency of 99.8 %. The results demonstrate the potential of hydroborates as electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium batteries.

Achieving super-high brightness laser-driven solid state lighting in a transmissive mode is significantly limited by the thermal robustness and light extraction efficiency of color converter materials. Therefore, it is a must to enhance the thermal conductivity and conversion efficiency of color converters by appropriate compositional design and microstructural tailoring. In this work, we propose thermally self-managing YAG:Ce–Al2O3 composite ceramic color converters that consist of luminescent YAG:Ce phosphor particles embedded in a thermally conductive Al2O3 matrix, which allows them to be combined with high-power blue laser diodes to create super-high brightness white laser-driven light without using any heat sink. The thermal conductivity of the ceramic color converters increases linearly from 10.2 to 32.5 W m−1 K−1 as the Al2O3 content varies from 0 to 90 wt%. Impressively, the composite ceramic with 60 wt% Al2O3 can withstand an incident laser power density of up to 20.1 W mm−2. A high-brightness white laser-driven light is obtained with a luminance of 982 Mcd m−2. Moreover, the secondary Al2O3 particles also act as scattering centers and enhance the light conversion efficiency. A maximum luminous efficacy of 157 lm W−1 is achieved under 11.94 W mm−2 blue laser excitation at an Al2O3 content of 24 wt%, increased by 27.3% compared to the Al2O3-free YAG:Ce ceramic. The as-designed YAG:Ce–Al2O3 phosphor ceramics thus validate their great suitability in high-power and high-brightness laser-driven solid-state lighting.

The scale inhibition and mechanism of the scale inhibitor PBTCA (2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid) on CaCO 3 in a scale-forming solution and an Al 2 O 3 nanofluid were investigated by solution scale inhibition, surface scale inhibition, electrical conductivity, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and diffuse reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that PBTCA had good solution scale inhibition performance and surface scale inhibition performance on heat exchange surface in scale-forming solution. In an Al 2 O 3 nanofluid, the solution scale inhibition performance of PBTCA decreased with an increase in nanoparticle concentration. However, the surface scale inhibition performance of PBTCA first decreased and then increased with an increase in Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle concentration, and the surface scale inhibition performance was obviously higher than the solution scale inhibition performance. Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles significantly shortened the induction period of CaCO 3 nucleation in the scale-forming solution containing PBTCA, weakening the solubilization of PBTCA on CaCO 3 and decreasing the solution scale inhibition of PBTCA, whereas Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles promoted the formation of aragonite and exhibited certain surface scale inhibition performances.

NO 2 gas sensors based on organic field effect transistors (OFETs) with alumina/poly(methyl methacrylate) (Al 2 O 3 /PMMA) bilayer dielectrics were prepared by sol-spin coating method. The sensors with 0.8 mol/L Al 2 O 3 -sol dielectric layer show a high NO 2 response, low baseline drift, stable sensing performance, and fast response/recovery time at room temperature . The sensitivity is over 129%/ppm and the limit of detection is below 1 ppm (134%). The results are comparable to most organic devices. The high sensor properties were attributed to the more ordered films on the dielectric layer and better electrical properties with bilayer dielectric devices than those with single dielectric devices. Compared to OFETs with PMMA single dielectric, the mobility was improved above 23 times, threshold voltage was reduced by 32.47 V, and both on-off current radio and saturation current were improved above an order of magnitude for OFETs with Al 2 O 3 /PMMA bilayer dielectrics at 0.8 mol/L Al 2 O 3 -sol. Moreover, the mechanism of organic film growth and the effect of bilayer dielectrics on sensing properties were analyzed. It is revealed that the highly electrical and NO 2 sensing properties are closely relate. A simple and effective method, the sol-spin coating method, was provided to obtain high performance NO 2 gas sensors based on OFETs.

This research focused on the removal of dibenzothiophene (DBT) from model diesel oil using CuO-loaded γ-Al2O3–reduced graphene oxide (CuO/γ-Al2O3–RGO) as an adsorbent, which possesses the highest adsorption capacity among reported regenerable graphene-related materials. The boehmite–RGO supports were synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method. As the RGO sheet surfaces are completely covered and isolated by boehmite nanorods formed via hydroxyl condensation of [Al(OH)x](3–x)+ or Al(OH)3 and the −OH of graphene oxide (GO), the specific surface area of boehmite–RGO increased to 378 m2/g, which is 20.8% higher than that of RGO (313 m2/g). CuO/γ-Al2O3–RGO adsorbents with different CuO contents were prepared, and their DBT adsorption desulfurization properties were evaluated. With a 2% mass ratio of CuO to boehmite–RGO, CuO/γ-Al2O3–RGO displays the highest DBT adsorption capacity (6.0 mg S/g) under ambient conditions, which improved by 53.8% in comparison with that of pure RGO (3.9 mg S/g). Moreover, the regeneration of the CuO/γ-Al2O3–RGO adsorbent is much more practical than that of the pure RGO adsorbent.
