The precise removal of heat-stable salts (HSS) from an amine solution remains a challenge where the current separation process can cause ineligible amine loss and decrease the CO2 capture efficiency. This work proposed an interpenetrating polymer network gel (SA-Al/PVA@ME) constructed with sodium alginate (SA), aluminum ions, and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), followed by melamine encapsulation. The formulation of the adsorbent was optimized by orthogonal experiments, leading to an HSS adsorption capacity of 128.28 mg·g–1 in monoethanolamine solution. The encapsulation of melamine (ME) promoted its adsorption affinity for HSS with a slight decrease of capacity. The kinetics and isotherms studies verify the adsorption behavior, and the mechanism was revealed through Fourier transform infrared, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, suggesting the comprehensive effect of synergistic electrostatic interaction, ion exchange, coordination bonding, hydrogen bonding, and steric hindrance. The results suggest a new strategy to formulate adsorbents with high HSS removal efficiency and good selectivity over amine.

Pd/SSZ-13 with different Al distributions were hydrothermally synthesized and utilized as passive NOx adsorbers (PNA). The characterization results indicated that more concentrated Al distribution can not only improve the ion-exchanged level of Pd but also generated more Z 2 Pd 2+ sites at six-member rings. Thus, as revealed by NOx adsorption experiments, samples with more Z 2 Pd 2+ sites showed high NOx storage capacity as well as stronger water resistance. Besides, 84.8 % adsorption capacity of this sample was retained after hydrothermal aging treatment. On the other side, Pd existed as [Pd(OH)] + sites on SSZ-13 with isolated Al as the majority. These sites were vulnerable to H 2 O and less stable. Seriously Pd agglomerated was observed on the aged Pd/SSZ-13 with less paired Al. This study revealed that proper Al distribution on SSZ-13 could significantly improve the performance and stability of the catalyst and provided a new direction for the design of PNA catalysts.

Superhydrophobic (SHP) surfaces had promising application in anti-icing field. In this work, ZnO SHP surfaces were prepared on aluminum alloy by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The structure, chemical composition, morphology, wettability of the SHP surfaces were investigated by using corresponding methods. The anti-frosting/anti-icing performance of the ZnO SHP surfaces were investigated. Morphology of surfaces showed that sputtering time affected the surface morphology of the ZnO surfaces. When the sputtering time was 15 min, the rough structure exhibited excellent anti-frosting/anti-icing property due to the exceptional superhydrophobicity and self-transfer behavior at subzero temperature, which composed by densely gathered nanoclusters. The freezing of water droplets was delayed for about 2 h, and frosting was delayed for approximately 5 h at the temperature of −10 °C. The SHP surfaces could efficiently enhance the anti-icing property in glaze ice. Meanwhile, the as-prepared ZnO SHP surfaces displayed a low ice-adhesion strength of 12 ± 4.7 kPa. However, the structure with large undulation and pore space reduced the anti-frosting/anti-icing property of the SHP surface. This work provided a direction for the design and preparation of anti-icing surfaces for power transmission lines.

In this study, Al-Fe and Al-Fe-Mn alloy anodes are prepared and examined. The influence of impurity Fe on the microstructure and properties of Al alloy anodes is investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical testing techniques. The results reveal that the presence of impurity Fe in Al alloys significantly shifts the open-circuit potential of the Al anode towards the positive side and reduces its discharge efficiency. However, the adverse impact of impurity Fe is mitigated by alloying with Mn. Specifically, the open-circuit potential of Al-0.20%Fe-0.20%Mn anodes is observed to shift negatively by 70 mV when compared to that of Al-0.20%Fe in a 3 M KOH solution. Furthermore, the anode utilization of Al-0.20%Fe-0.20%Mn anodes, following continuous discharge at 30 mA·cm −2 and 100 mA·cm −2 for 30 min, is found to be 70% and 52% higher, respectively, than that of Al-0.20%Fe anodes. This highlights the effectiveness of Mn modification as a preferable approach to ameliorate the detrimental effects of impurity Fe.

As an important component of the lithium ion batteries, the separator has attracted much attention by researchers. In this paper, a polymer electrolyte separator based on the blended polymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and cellulose acetate was obtained via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS), meanwhile, the Al(OH) 3 particles was used as the addition doping into the blended polymer matrix. The structure, for example, pore size, porosity and the crystallization of the resulting separators were characterized. The thermal stability, ionic conductivity and electrochemical performance were also investigated. The results indicated that the PVDF-CA/Al(OH) 3 separator presented high porosity (68.6%), high electrolyte uptake (403.9%), especially superior thermal stability (thermal shrinkage ratio was 4.6% at 160 °C) and excellent ionic conductivity (2.85 mS cm −1 ). In addition, the rate capability (128.28 mA h g −1 at 8 C) and cycle performance (151.97 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 1 C) were also superior to those of the commercial polypropylene separator, demonstrating that the PVDF-CA/Al(OH) 3 separator can be a promising separator for the high-safety and high-rate dischargeable lithium ion battery.

Exploring highly efficient and low-cost supported Pt catalysts is attractive for the application of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combustion. Herein, efficient catalytic combustion of toluene at low temperature over Pt/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts has been demonstrated by tailoring active Pt species spatially. Pt/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst with low Pt-content (0.26 wt%) containing both interfacial Pt-Al(OH) x and surficial metallic Pt (Pt 0 ) species exhibited super activity and water-resistant stability for toluene oxidation. The strong metal-support interaction located at the Al-OH-Pt interfaces elongated the Pt-O bond and contributed to the oxidation of toluene. Meanwhile, the OH group at the Al-OH-Pt interfaces had the strongest adsorption and activation capability for toluene and the derived intermediate species were subsequently oxidized by oxygen species activated by surficial Pt 0 to yield carbon dioxide and water. This work initiated an inspiring sight to the design of active Pt species for the VOCs combustion.

CaEu C O 4 ( C Ga, Al) microwave dielectric ceramics were produced through a solid-state reaction. Orthorhombic olivine CaEuGaO 4 ( pnma ) exhibits a lower permittivity ( ε r = 9.7), a higher quality factor ( Q × f = 82,049 GHz), and a larger negative resonant frequency temperature coefficient ( τ f = −54.6 ppm/°C). CaEuAlO 4 , which has a similar chemical formula, exhibits a perovskite-like structure ( I 4/ mmm , K 2 NiF 4 -type), and its microwave dielectric properties are ε r = 18.9, Q × f = 43,132 GHz, and τ f = −1.6 ppm/°C. The difference in their structures is mainly caused by the properties of the Ga (III) atom. The difference in their dielectric properties can be proved to be affected by the “rattling” effect of Eu 3+ through the bond valence theory. The relationship between the covalence ( f c ) and the bond strength ( S ) was investigated, and the higher bond strength might be the main reason for the higher Q × f in CaEuGaO 4 ceramic.

The electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are key electrochemical processes in metal–air batteries and water splitting devices. Aluminium–air batteries, as an important type of metal–air battery, have been considered to be promising power candidates for flexible electronics. Here, we describe electronically engineered amorphous Fe–Co–S sites embedded in Prussian blue analogue (FeCoSx-PBA) hetero-nanoframes. The experimental results and DFT calculations reveal the critical role of the introduced FeCoSx layer to PBA, which enhances the electron transfer and alleviates the overbinding effect of OH* during the OER. The FeCoSx-PBA hybrid system supplies an optimized electronic structure for the alkaline OER, which is also confirmed by the much-lowered overpotential (266 mV at 10 mA cm−2) for the alkaline OER. Furthermore, a flexible Al–air battery based on an FeCoSx-PBA cathode catalyst exhibits a high peak power density (58.3 mW cm−2) and energy density (1483 W h kgAl−1), and outstanding stability for more than 50 h of operation under bending or stretching conditions, demonstrating its potential in the practical application of flexible electronic devices. Our results may provide a new strategy of modulating the electronic structure of air electrode catalysts to efficiently promote the reactivity of alkaline OER and Al–air battery processes.

Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) (F-MgAl-LDHs and O-MgAl-LDHs) and Mg-Al layered double oxides (LDO) (F-MgAl-LDO and O-MgAl-LDO) nanosheets were prepared using a modified co-precipitation and oven/freeze dry route for adsorption of uranium. The freeze dry could evidently promote the adsorption ability. It’s resulted from larger specific surface (F-MgAl-LDO > F-MgAl-LDHs > O-MgAl-LDO > O-MgAl-LDHs) and pore size, as well as sufficient expose of vacant sites in the inner struture of F-MgAl-LDHs and F-MgAl-LDO. The pH, shaking time, initial uranium concentation and temperature influenced the adsorption capacity of F-MgAl-LDHs, O-MgAl-LDHs, F-MgAl-LDO and O-MgAl-LDO, while ionic strength exerted slightly little influence. Na 2 CO 3 highlighted the best desorption effectivity, with desorption efficiency of 97.84% for F-MgAl-LDHs and 98.52% for F-MgAl-LDO, respectively. It is noteworthy that maximum adsorption capacity of F-MgAl-LDO reached 1099.93 mg/g, locating the top rank in the uranium-specific adsorbents. The adsorption conformed to the pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemical adsorption in nature. The thermodynamic was also investigated. The adsorption mechanism was determined that M-O and C-O bonds participated the complex process in the uranium adsorption. The study proposed the freeze dry as an efficient method to promote adsorbent performance.

The low-cost Al–Ni alloy particles could achieve high dechlorination activity for 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) with the addition of tetrasodium EDTA (EDTA-4Na) in this study. The species of chelating agent, pH values, and the dosages of chelating agent were investigated for their effects on dechlorination efficiency of 2-CP in solution. EDTA-4Na presented the highest promoting effect for Al–Ni alloy in dechlorination process compared with other chelating agents, which is closely correlated with the conditional stability constant ( K f ′ ) of chelates formed. The optimized result showed that 0.389 mM of 2-CP was completely dechlorinated into phenol using 10 g L −1 of Al–Ni alloy and 10 mM of EDTA-4Na at initial pH 11.0 within 45-min reaction. Recycling tests of the alloy particles showed that Al–Ni alloy coupling with EDTA in aqueous solution exhibited high dechlorination activity and stability before being exhausted. The maintenance of Al–Ni alloy activity for dechlorination was mainly attributed to the promoting effect of EDTA-4Na on Al corrosion, the inherent structure of alloy with Ni crystal homogeneously dispersing into Al substrate, and the change of its surface morphology with more active sites formed by EDTA corrosion.

In order to refine the microstructure and improve the performance of direct energy deposited (DED) additively manufactured Al–Mg–Sc–Zr alloy, TiC-modified Al–Mg–Sc–Zr composites were prepared by DED and the effect of TiC content on the microstructure and performance was studied. In the absence of TiC particle, the microstructure of Al–Mg–Sc–Zr alloy prepared by DED consisted of fine grains with average size of 8.36 μm, and well-dispersed nano-Al 3 (Sc,Zr) particles inside the grains and Mg 2 Si phase along the grain boundaries. With the addition of 1 wt% TiC, the microstructure of TiC/Al–Mg–Sc–Zr prepared by DED became finer apparently compared with that without TiC; while the further increase of TiC content to 3 wt%, the microstructure of TiC/Al–Mg–Sc–Zr prepared by DED became coarser with appearance of a new kind of needle-like (Ti,Zr) 5 Si 3 phase. Also, the addition of TiC decreased the porosity of Al–Mg–Sc–Zr prepared by DED. Simultaneously, after the addition of TiC, the tensile strength increased from 283.25 MPa to 344.98–361.51 MPa, and the elongation increased from 3.61% to 9.58–14.10%. The potential mechanism of the microstructure evolution and strength improvement was discussed. This research will provide new insights into the available metal matrix composites by laser additive manufacturing (LAM).

Co-free, Ni-rich cathode materials have aroused enormous attentions for the low cost, sustainable development of lithium-ion batteries. However, it is not easy to fabricate single-crystalline Ni-rich cathode materials from the hierarchical structured precursors via coprecipitation method. Furthermore, it is difficult to introduce Al dopant during the coprecipitation process to obtain high quality Ni-rich cathode material owing to the rapid sediment of Al 3+ . Herein, we developed a one-step stirring-assisted cation chelation and reassembly route for fabricating crack-free single-crystalline, Al-doped Co-free Ni-rich cathode material. The fabricated LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.16 Al 0.04 O 2 shows a high capacity of 204 mAh g −1 at 0.1C, excellent rate capability (143 mAh g −1 at 10C), and good cycling stability (an initial specific capacity of 178 mAh g −1 with capacity retention of 82.2% at 1C over 200 cycles). Furthermore, when tested at a raised temperature of 55 °C, it exhibited an initial capacity of 194.7 mAh g −1 with capacity retention of 82.1% at 1C over 100 cycles. The outstanding electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of single crystalline structure and successful doping of Al element in the cathode, which enable fast ion and electron transport , suppress Li/Ni mixing and maintain the structural stability.
