It was indicated that dephosphorization was completed in 6 h when the initial phosphorus concentration in waste water was lower than 15 mg/L, and the dephosphorization time prolonged as the increase of phosphorus concentration. It was observed that the pH value of waste water influenced dephosphorization significantly, and neutral subalkalic environment favored dephosphorization. When the pH value was 11, the efficiency of dephosphozation was the greatest. For waste water with an initial concentration of 20 mg/L, the dephosphozation rate is close to 100% in8 h.展开更多

A relative alloy density of approximately 99% was achieved in the power range of 45–60 W corresponding to the forming energy density range of 65.45–87.27 J/mm3. The MTTs increased with the increase in the energy density;thus, the initial contents of the B2 and B19′ phases of the SLM-produced NiTi alloy can be tailored by the utilized technique. However, the number of defects such as metallurgical pores and microcracks considerably increased at higher energy densities(> 87.27 J/mm3). Interestingly, the concentration of these defects was reduced by remelting in the energy density range of 21.82–65.45 J/mm3, while the alloy relative density increased to 99.7% ± 0.1% at a remelting energy density of 65.45 J/mm3. The results of tensile testing revealed that when the remelting energy was 75% or 100% of the forming energy input, the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the alloy significantly increased. Therefore, the remelting strategy represents a promising route for manufacturing NiTi alloys with desired MTT ranges and mechanical properties.展开更多

摘要Small-sized Cdx Zn1-x S solid solution nanomaterial is an important candidate for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution(PHE),but it still suffers from easy agglomeration,severe photo corrosion,and fast photogenerated electron-hole recombination.To tackle these issues,herein,we propose a new strategy to modify Cdx Zn1-x S nanoreactors by the simultaneous utilization of ionic-liquid-assisted morphology engineering and MXene-incorporating method.That is,we designed and synthesized a novel hierarchi-cal Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S/Ti3 C2 Schottky junction composite through the in-situ deposition of ultrathin Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S nanosheets on unique IL-modified Ti3 C2 MXenes by a one-pot solvothermal method for efficiently PHE.The unique construction strategy tailors the thickness of ultrathin Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S nanosheets and prevents them from stacking and agglomeration,and especially,optimizes their charge transfer pathways during the photocatalytic process.Compared with pristine Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S nanosheets,Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S/Ti3 C2 has abun-dant photogenerated electrons available on the Ti3 C2 surface for proton reduction reaction,owing to the absence of deep-trapped electrons,suppression of electron-hole recombination in Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S and high-efficiency charge separation at the Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S/Ti3 C2 Schottky junction interface.Moreover,the hy-drophilicity,electrical conductivity,visible-light absorption capacity,and surficial hydrogen desorption of Cd0.8 Zn0.2 S/Ti3 C2 heterostructure are significantly improved.As a result,the heterostructure exhibits out-standing photocatalytic stability and super high apparent quantum efficiency,being rendered as one of the best noble-metal-free Cd-Zn-S-based photocatalysts.This work illustrates the mechanisms of mor-phology control and heterojunction construction in controlling the catalytic behavior of photocatalysts and highlights the great potential of the IL-assisted route in the synthesis of high-performance MXene-based heterostructures for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

摘要Although lithium metal has been regarded as an ideal anode material for high-energy-density batteries,its practical applications remain hindered by many serious challenges.Three-dimensional(3D)porous Cu current collectors demonstrate potential in ensuring uniform Li deposition.However,notable drawbacks of 3D Cu collectors—such as poor lithophilic properties,unordered interface microstructure,and insufficient surface area—still hamper their effectiveness.Herein,a 3D porous Cu skeleton with lithiophilic Cu0.64Zn0.36 alloy“skins”and curvature boundaries(CuZn@Cu)is developed.In CuZn@Cu,the Cu0.64Zn0.36 alloy layer endows the collector with good lithium affinity and low surface reaction activation energy,thereby promoting uniform lithium deposition.In addition,the abundant curvature boundaries in CuZn@Cu regulate the distributions of the electric field and lithium ion flux,guiding the selective nucleation and growth of lithium.Consequently,compact and dendrite-free lithium deposition is achieved on CuZn@Cu,and the CuZn@Cu collector enables a high average Coulombic efficiency of 98.15%in 1000 cycles.The lithium symmetric cells with the CuZn@Cu exhibit a long cycle life of more than 1400 h at1 m A cm-2.

摘要In this work,the effects of pH value of waste water and initial concentration of phosphorus on dephosphorization materials were investigated.The materials were prepared by shaping,sintering and hydrothermal reshaping oyster shell and silica micro-powder.Different concentrations of phosphorus-contained waste water were simulated with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution,the effect of dephosphorization was tested with phosphomolybdenum blue spectrophotometer method,and the crystal phase and microstructure of materials were characterized by XRD and SEM methods. It was indicated that dephosphorization was completed in 6 h when the initial phosphorus concentration in waste water was lower than 15 mg/L, and the dephosphorization time prolonged as the increase of phosphorus concentration. It was observed that the pH value of waste water influenced dephosphorization significantly, and neutral subalkalic environment favored dephosphorization. When the pH value was 11, the efficiency of dephosphozation was the greatest. For waste water with an initial concentration of 20 mg/L, the dephosphozation rate is close to 100% in8 h.

摘要Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)is an important chemical that can be sustainably produced through a twoelectron pathway in the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).However,the high cost and low reaction efficiency of catalysts currently limit the widespread application of this technology.Developing high-selectivity and scalable catalysts and accurately identifying the reaction active sites remain challenges.In this work,we have developed a promising nanodiamond(ND)catalyst to achieve high-selectivity H2O2production by oxygen reduction.Through surface carbon hybridization regulation to identify specific oxygen-containing functional groups combined with titration,model catalysis and DFT methods,it is found that the presence of carbonyl groups inducing the surrounding carbon atoms exhibit an optimal*OOH adsorption strength,thus promoting the two-electron pathway in ORR.Specifically,dynamic evolution processes of carbonyl groups and key adsorbed intermediate products including O2(ads),superoxide anion*O2-,and *OOH are monitored in situ spectroscopy.In the flowcell device,ND catalyst realizes the high H2O2Faradaic efficiency around 92% with a rate activity up to 105 mol gC=O-1h-1,surpassing among reported non-metallic catalysts.The total H2O2yield reaches to 23.79 m M after a ten-hour test,which is 2.56 times higher than that of carbonyl-passivated ND,demonstrating its potential in scale-up application.Both titration and model catalytic processes proposed in this study further offer methods of designing efficient electrocatalysts for H2O2production.

摘要We present a comprehensive study of the CO2-CO interaction potential using a 9-dimensional(9D)potential energy surface(PES)constructed with the fundamental invariant-neural networks(FINN)method.The PES was generated from 65330 CCSD(T)-F12a/aug-cc-pVTZ ab initio data points,with counterpoise correction,applied to eliminate basis set superposition error(BSSE).We performed quasi-classical trajectory simulations using this PES to investigate the rotational energy transfer dynamics.Our results reveal complex energy transfer mechanisms,with significant rotational excitation and relaxation dependent on collision energy and initial rotational states.The 9D PES provides a more accurate representation of the CO2-CO system,offering new insights into molecular dynamics and interaction mechanisms.

摘要Ultrafast Joule heating(JH)has emerged as a powerful and scalable platform for rapid thermal processing of advanced nanomaterials.By delivering transient,high-intensity electrical pulses,JH induces ultrafast heating and cooling rates on the order of milliseconds,facilitating nonequilibrium phase transitions,defect modulation,and tailored nanostructural evolution.This technique offers unprecedented control over material synthesis and has been successfully applied to a broad spectrum of functional property-driven materials,including graphene,single-atom catalysts,transition metal carbides,oxides,nitrides,phosphides,and chalcogenides,as well as complex multicomponent frameworks such as high-entropy alloys.This review systematically explores the principles governing JH,highlights recent advances in its application to diverse materials systems,and critically assesses current limitations related to process uniformity,scalability,and mechanistic understanding.Particular attention is given to its intrinsic advantages,including energy efficiency,fast rate,environmental sustainability,and compatibility with sustainable manufacturing.Finally,we propose guidance for expanding the utility of JH for new materials discovery,including integration with in-situ diagnostics,theoretical compatibility and data-driven optimization of synthesis to effectively correlate structure-property relationships.

摘要Scarce investigations have focused on coinage metal clusters possessing fixed cores but varying binding ligands in the context of catalysis.Here in this work,we successfully employed two types of carboxylic acid-based molecular tweezers to selectively capture two Cu6clusters(Cu6-a and Cu6-b).Cu6-a and Cu6-b have identical cluster cores but different protected ligands,therefore provide accurate platform for investigating ligand effects in cluster catalysis.Notably,Cu6-b represents a rare example of a two-directional rod framework,marking the first instance of such a structure in coinage metal cluster-based MOFs.The integration of oxygen within OBB significantly enhances local spatial polarization,facilitating the charge separation and ROS generation efficiency of Cu6-b under visible-light irradiation.Consequently,the oxygen-containing Cu6-b exhibits superior photocatalytic performance in the aerobic oxidation of sulfide,achieving both high yield and selectivity.This work provides a valuable approach for precisely control the Cu clusters structures to regulate their properties.

摘要As an indispensable subset of functional materials,quadratic nonlinear optical(NLO)switches have garnered increasing attention owing to their vast potential in next-generation intelligent optoelectronic devices.Despite considerable progress in NLO switches based on solid-state phase transitions,identifying an effective strategy to design high-efficiency NLO switches remains a huge challenge.Herein,we present a molecular engineering approach to develop a high-efficiency lead halide organic-inorganic hybrid NLO switch,(C8H12N)2Pb2Cl6·H2O(NMPTPC).Through the substitution of hydrogen with a methyl group(-CH3)in protonated N-methylaniline,the initial compound(C7H10N)2Pb2Cl6·H2O(NMAPC)transformed into NMPTPC retaining the original space group,which gives rise to a dramatic enhancement of second harmonic generation(SHG)and phase transition temperature.As expected,NMPTPC exhibits highefficiency modulation of the SHG property(2.6 times that of KH2PO4)and a high phase transition temperature of 372 K.Notably,NMPTPC exhibits a remarkable temperature-dependent SHG behavior,with an impressive“ON/OFF”ratio of approximately 70,underscoring its significant potential as a high-efficient solid-state NLO switch.Based on in-depth crystal structure analysis and theoretical calculations,the modulation of the NLO property is attributed to the asymmetric distortion of the[PbCl6]4-octahedra coupled withπ-conjugated aromatic amines with a large dipole moment.This research highlights a promising strategy for advancing the development of high-efficiency NLO switches and provides insights into their applications in next-generation intelligent optoelectronic devices.

摘要Alumina ceramics are widely utilized as structural materials,yet their inherent brittleness and monofunctionality limit their application in high-stress scenarios.Strategic integration of two-dimensional graphene sheets,characterized by their excellent mechanical,thermal and electrical properties,into ceramic matrix can facilitate grain refinement through interface engineering,thereby achieving performance optimization.Conventional physical blending methods result in poor uniformity and integrity of 2D sheets,thereby impeding advancements in graphene-ceramic composites.Herein,a novel adsorption-precipitation self-assembly(APSA)method was proposed for the nondestructive integration of graphene oxide(GO)sheets with submicron Al2O3 particles.A homogeneous precursor is obtained by uniform deposition of Al3+ions adsorbed on GO surface,followed by low-temperature rapid densification via spark plasma sintering(SPS).For the resultant composites,the incorporated graphene is aligned parallel to the alumina grains,facilitating grain refinement and significantly enhancing the mechanical properties through synergistic effect of various toughening mechanisms,including pull-out,crack extension and bridging.In comparison to monolithic alumina ceramics,the ceramic composites exhibit a 43%enhancement in flexural strength((428±87)MPa)and a 34%improvement in fracture toughness((4.40±0.13)MPa·m1/2).Furthermore,the strength and toughness values also increase by 15%respectively,compared to specimens made from the conventional ball-milling mixing process,confirming the efficacy and advancement of such a manufacturing approach.

摘要The spectroscopic properties of a series of Dy3+single-doped and Dy3+/Nd3+,Dy3+/Tb3+,and Dy3+/Tm3+co-doped YAlO3(yttrium aluminum perovskite,YAP)phosphors were investigated and compared through the measurements of optical absorption,emission spectra,and fluorescence decay curves.For the Dy3+ion single-doped samples,the intensity of each absorption band increases with an increment in Dy3+ion doping concentration,and the identified strong absorption peak at 447 nm indicates that Dy3+:YAP phosphors are suitable to be pumped by a blue laser diode(LD).For all co-doped samples,absorption peaks of Dy3+ion along with some of the absorption bands of Nd3+,Tb3+,and Tm3+ions are observed.Under 351 and 447 nm excitation,a prominent emission peak at 572 nm was obtained in all the samples,corresponding to Dy3+:4F9/2→6H13/2transition.Here,2 at%Dy3+:YAP phosphor exhibits the highest yellow emission intensity under 447 nm pumping.Among the three kinds of Dy3+co-doped phosphors,Dy3+/Tb3+:YAP phosphor possesses the dominant yellow emission.The fluorescence decay curves show exponential behaviour and are fitted well.The Commission International de L’Eclairage(CIE)chromaticity coordinates were calculated following the respective emission spectra,and it is found that all the coordinates locate in the yellow region.The energy transfer(ET)processes were investigated and the concentration quenching mechanism was discussed.The obtained results suggest that Dy3+-activated YAP phosphors are good candidates for yellow LED applications.

摘要Developing active and durable electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is desirable but challenging to realize sustainable hydrogen production.Here,we report a facile and general method to prepare ultrafine nickel(Ni)-iridium(Ir)alloy nanoparticles/graphene hybrids for overall water splitting.The optimized hybrid with 4.9 wt%Ir exhibits much higher catalytic activity and durability than commercial 20 wt%Ir/C for both oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).Theoretical simulations reveal that the incorporation of Ir in metallic Ni lattice regulates hydrogen adsorption free energy to the optimum level,thus improving HER activity,while in situ generated amorphous Ir-Ni hydr(oxy)oxides around metallic Ni-Ir core have been demonstrated to be the active species under OER conditions,which switches OER rate-determining step to energy-favorable pathway.The overall water splitting electrolyzer assembled by the optimized electrocatalyst shows a low cell voltage of only 1.52 V and excellent stability to deliver a current density of 10 m A cm-2.This work provides a powerful strategy toward general synthesis of ultrafine alloy nanoparticles for high-performance overall water splitting.

摘要Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)with 2-electron process is an alternative for decentralized H2O2production,but it remains high challenging to develop highly active and selective catalysts for this process.In this work,we present a selective and efficient nonprecious electrocatalyst,prepared through an easily scalable mild oxidation of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs)with different oxidative acids including sulfur acid,nitride acid and mixed sulfuricitric acids,respectively.The high-degree oxidized SWNTs treated by mixed acids exhibit the highest activity and selectivity of electroreduction of oxygen to synthesize H2O2at low overpotential in alkaline and neutral media.Spectroscopic characterizations suggested that the C–O is vital for catalyzing 2-electron ORR,providing an insightful understanding of defected carbon surface as the active catalytic sites for 2-electron ORR.
摘要High entropy alloys(HEAs)have been the star materials in electrocatalysis research in recent years.One of their key features is the greatly increased multiplicity of active sites compared to conventional catalytic materials.This increased multiplicity stimulates a cocktail effect and a scaling-relation breaking effect,and results in improved activity.However,the multiplicity of active sites in HEAs also poses new problems for mechanistic studies.One apparent problem is the inapplicability to HEA catalysts of the currently most popular mechanistic study method,which uses the electrocatalytic theoretical framework(ETF)based on the computational hydrogen electrode(CHE).The ETF uses a single adsorption energy to represent the catalyst,i.e.,a catalyst is represented by a'point'in the volcanic relationship.It naturally does not involve the multiplicity of active sites of a catalyst,and hence loses brevity in expressing the cocktail effect and scaling-relation breaking effect in HEA catalysis.This paper attempts to solve this inapplicability.Based on the fact that the adsorption energy distribution of HEAs is close to a normal distribution,the mean and variance of the adsorption energy distribution are introduced as descriptors of the ETF,replacing the original single adsorption energy.A quantitative relationship between the variance and the cocktail and scaling-relation braking effects is established.We believe the method described in this work will make the ETF more effective in mechanistic studies of HEA electrocatalysis.

摘要In this study, the infl uence of laser remelting on the relative density, martensitic transformation temperatures(MTTs), and mechanical properties of a NiTi alloy fabricated by selective laser melting(SLM) at a laser power between 15 and 75 W were investigated. A relative alloy density of approximately 99% was achieved in the power range of 45–60 W corresponding to the forming energy density range of 65.45–87.27 J/mm3. The MTTs increased with the increase in the energy density;thus, the initial contents of the B2 and B19′ phases of the SLM-produced NiTi alloy can be tailored by the utilized technique. However, the number of defects such as metallurgical pores and microcracks considerably increased at higher energy densities(> 87.27 J/mm3). Interestingly, the concentration of these defects was reduced by remelting in the energy density range of 21.82–65.45 J/mm3, while the alloy relative density increased to 99.7% ± 0.1% at a remelting energy density of 65.45 J/mm3. The results of tensile testing revealed that when the remelting energy was 75% or 100% of the forming energy input, the ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the alloy significantly increased. Therefore, the remelting strategy represents a promising route for manufacturing NiTi alloys with desired MTT ranges and mechanical properties.

摘要A novel type of extraction-precipitation strategy based on phosphate was developed to recover rare earth(RE,i.e.,La,Ce,Nd,and Pr)from waste nickel-metal hydride(NiMH)batteries.This method does not require saponification and organic solvents.The novel phosphates,i.e.,dibenzyl phosphate(DBP),diphenyl phosphate(DPP),triphenyl phosphate(TPP)were studied as extraction-precipitants.DBP has high precipitation efficiencies for RE3+,which can reach 97.84%,100%,100%and 99.77%,respectively.In addition,the precipitation efficiencies of Mn2+,Co2+and Ni2+are less than 1.75%.DBP-RE has the largest particle size(D10=52.6μm,D50=135.35μm,D90=296.08μm),which is much larger than the precipitations formed by NH4HCO3,H2C2O4,CaO and MgO.The larger precipitation particle sizes contribute to improving the solid-liquid separation efficiency.With 3 mol/L hydrochloric acid,the stripping efficiency of DBP-RE reaches 98.60%,and the purity of recovered RE is 99.85%.The regenerated DBP can be directly used for the recycling extraction.Therefore,the novel extraction-precipitation strategy is a green and sustainable separation method.
