Summary: A hybrid anion exchanger impregnated with Fe/Mn nanoparticles (HA502P-Fe/Mn) was synthesized and its efficacy in removing trace As(III) and As(V) was evaluated through isotherms, kinetics, and characterization techniques. The adsorption capacities of HA502P-Fe/Mn for As(III) and As(V) were found to be 21,590 and 18,930 µg/g, respectively. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory were used for characterizing the adsorption mechanisms. Fixed-bed column experiments showed that HA502P-Fe/Mn has a higher treatable bed volume compared to commercial adsorbents. Overall, HA502P-Fe/Mn is a promising adsorbent for As(III) removal due to its high adsorption capacity and regenerating ability.

Summary: Heterogeneous atomic doping, especially with nitrogens, can enhance the interfacial properties and electrical conductivity of carbon-based materials like y-graphyne (y-GY), leading to improved energy storage capacity and expanded electrical applications. The local structures around the impurity atoms have a significant impact on the properties of doped structures, which can be sensitively determined by X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra. In this study, the XPS and NEXAFS spectra of both pristine y-GY and five nitrogen-doped y-GYs at the C and N K-edges were successfully simulated using density functional theory.

Summary: In this study, MNPs were successfully functionalized with CAT, GAL, CAF, and NDA at different pH values. The functionalized MNPs showed higher saturation magnetizations (M-s) compared to the starting material. XPS analyses confirmed the presence of Fe(III) ions on the surface, ruling out the formation of magnetite. DFT calculations demonstrated that the adsorption of catechols did not affect the M-s. The increase in the average size of the MNPs and the decrease in the fraction of the smallest MNPs explained the observed increase in M-s values.

Summary: The study investigates the influence of electrostatic interactions on the dynamical response in dispersions of magnetic nanoplatelets, and finds that tuning the interactions with an ionic surfactant leads to new dynamic modes in magnetic response spectra. The collective modes can be induced or suppressed by varying the concentration ratio of the nanoplatelets to the surfactant or increasing the nanoplatelet concentration, reflecting the nanoscale characteristics of this fluid magnet.

Summary: In this study, CBS glass/Al2O3 composites were developed for LTCC applications based on a CaO-B2O3-SiO2 (CBS) glass system with a high boron content. The study revealed that the softening of glass and interfacial reaction between the glass and Al2O3 were the two most important factors affecting LTCC's densification process. Real-time shrinkage rate of LTCC during sintering was successfully simulated, and it was proven that the formation of the CaAl2(BO3)O phase played a significant role in reducing glass viscosity and promoting dense structure formation. The resulting LTCC composite exhibited excellent performance for high-frequency applications.

Summary: In this study, the disordering caused by swift heavy ion irradiation in two different compositions of pyrochlore structures was investigated. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the samples before and after irradiation. It was found that both compositions underwent amorphization due to irradiation, with a slower rate observed in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1. The irradiation-induced modified track region in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1 consisted of defect-rich pyrochlore structure, anion-deficient fluorite structure, and amorphous domains.

Summary: The study investigates the frictional and wear behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites with different fiber orientations mating with ceramic balls. The results show that fiber orientation significantly affects the friction and wear properties of the composites. Pads with randomly arranged fibers demonstrate better friction stability and lower wear volume, potentially suitable for bearing material applications. The research also explores the factors influencing the formation of continuous tribo-film and identifies abrasive wear and oxidation wear as the dominant wear mechanisms for the friction pairs.
