Summary: Due to the rapid development of information and electronic technologies, there is an urgent need to design and prepare new materials with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding function to reduce electromagnetic pollution. In this study, a thin magnetic Ti3C2Tx MXene (MMX) nanocomposite film was successfully obtained by combining Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets with porous magnetic microspheres (PMMs), exhibiting excellent EMI shielding performance. The lamellar structure of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets provides flexibility to the MMX nanocomposite film, while PMMs enhance the attenuation ability of the film to electromagnetic wave energy. The rough surface of PMMs improves electromagnetic wave consumption and enhances the performance of Ti3C2Tx MXene EMI shielding nanocomposites.

Summary: In this study, functional poly(aniline) films with significantly different emissivity modulation capabilities were obtained by tailoring the surface morphology. PANI2 with a non-directionally distributed nanowirelike structure and PANI6 with a rather smooth surface decorated by shallow voids could achieve emissivity variations in the wavelength range of 2.5-25 μm. The reason for the thermal radiation energies of PANI2 being higher than those of PANI6 was due to the residual PANI in PANI2 not being involved in redox reactions and the multiple reflections by non-directionally distributed nanowires on the surface suppressing the reflection of incident IR light. Additionally, PANI2 was found to have greater heat dissipation capabilities at a high emissivity state, while PANI6 effectively suppressed heat dissipation at a low emissivity state.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
