Summary: Based on the exchangeability of anions between the layers of magnesium-based LDHs, tartaric acid intercalated LDH (TA-LDH) was synthesized by co-precipitation method for boron adsorption. The study confirmed the successful entry of tartaric acid into the interlayer of LDH through XRD and FT-IR. The interaction between hydroxyl groups of tartaric acid and B(OH)3 and B(OH)4- enabled efficient boron adsorption.

Summary: It has been widely reported that preventing early-stage carious lesions requires sustained low-level fluoride release in the oral cavity, and LDH has the potential to achieve this by taking up and releasing fluoride repeatedly. A range of fluoride rechargeable LDH powders were successfully synthesized and characterized, with different formulations showing variations in fluoride uptake and release capabilities. This study suggests that LDH has the potential to be incorporated into various applications by altering the composition or ratio to achieve desired fluoride uptake or release levels.

Summary: The synthesis of cellulose acrylate from cellulose with acryloyl chloride is challenging due to unexpected gelation. However, the use of bulky amines is found crucial for reproducibility. The solubility of cellulose acrylate depends on reaction conditions due to possible cross-linking oxa-Michael reaction. Cellulose acrylate is a useful precursor for chemically modified cellulose materials and can react with various functionalized nucleophiles. This method is applied for the synthesis of N-methyl-d-glucamine-modified cellulose as a water adsorbent for B(OH)(3) removal.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of rehydration on the catalytic properties of Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) for glycerol oligomerization. A LDH modification strategy was developed with the addition of acetic acid, which improved the selectivity to diglycerol. Recycling of the modified LDH showed better performance compared to the non acid treated material. Loss of metallic species by leaching to the reaction products was not observed, an advantage over previous works.

Summary: The crystal structure of quintinite, Mg4Al2(OH)(12)(CO3).3H(2)O, from the Jacupiranga alkaline complex in Brazil was analyzed, revealing ordered arrangements of magnesium and aluminum atoms within the structure. The interlayer structure was found to contain disordered carbonate groups and water molecules. The samples in Jacupiranga were identified as quintinite-2T, which is the second discovery of this polytype after the Kovdor alkaline complex in Russia. An important crystal-chemical criterion, the interlayer distance, was found to be approximately 7.56 Å in natural specimens from different locations worldwide.

Summary: In layered materials, the stacking sequence can affect ion transport and storage properties. However, the relationship between the stacking sequence and anion transport and storage properties is not well understood. In this study, we found that the stacking sequence influences the nitrate-storage properties of layered double hydroxides. The 2H1 polytype has a higher nitrate-storage capacity compared to the 3R1 polytype. The difference in nitrate-storage capacity is attributed to the soft nature of the 2H1 polytype, which allows minimal lattice changes, while the rigid lattice of the 3R1 sequence requires a larger lattice expansion, hindering ion storage.

Summary: The study reveals that the mineralogical composition of sediments plays a crucial role in the adsorption and desorption of heavy metals. Particulate organic matter is the most influential nutrient in heavy metals adsorption in riverine environments, while particulate phosphorus is more significant in estuarine conditions. Dissolved nutrients do not have a significant positive effect on the release of heavy metals in riverine areas, but dissolved phosphorus increases the transfer of specific metals from sediments to overlying water in estuarine conditions.

Summary: The integration of heavy metal leaching based on the PROFILE weathering model into the steady-state critical load (SSCL) of heavy metals was conducted to assess the environmental capacity of agro-ecosystem. The leaching rates of Hg, As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, and Zn in paddy soil were quantified, and their correlations with pH, CaO, TFe2O3, and Corg were analyzed. Atmospheric deposition, rice plant uptake, and leaching were identified as the main input and output pathways for heavy metals in agricultural soil. The SSCL model provides new insights for the establishment of environment management in agricultural soils.

Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
