Summary: This study demonstrates a new PVK-based thermochromic composite that can reversibly switch from a transparent state to a colored state with fast kinetics. The thermochromic mechanism is based on the reversible disassembly/assembly of PVK mediated by intercalating polymeric chains, through the formation and breaking of hydrogen bonds between polymer and perovskite. Unlike other thermochromic perovskites, this system can perform multiple heating/cooling cycles regardless of environmental conditions.

Summary: In this study, alpha wt%PdO/16wt%Ce(1,y)SixBiyO2-delta/gamma-Al2O3 (PdO/CS(x)Bi(y)/Al2O3) catalyst was prepared for the methane combustion reaction at low temperatures. The addition of SiO2 to the CeO2 cocatalyst improved the catalyst's surface area and acid-base properties, enhancing its potential as an exhaust catalyst. Furthermore, the incorporation of Bi2O3 into the CeO2-SiO2 co-catalyst enhanced the oxygen storage capacity and oxidation properties of PdO, which exhibits high oxidation capability toward methane. The catalyst with 10wt%PdO/16wt%Ce0.85Si0.08Bi0.07/gamma-Al2O3 showed the highest catalytic activity, achieving a methane conversion rate of 88% at 500 degrees C.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
