Summary: The discharge of wastewater rich in heavy metals and organic substances leads to ecosystem deterioration, environmental pollution, and food pollution. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly promising materials for wastewater treatment due to their large specific surface area and pore volume, as well as their structure designability. In this study, a novel adsorbent (PEI@UiO-66-NH2) was synthesized and it exhibited improved chemical stability and increased adsorption sites compared to common UiO-66-NH2. The adsorption behaviors of PEI@UiO-66-NH2 were systematically studied, and it was found that it can reach adsorption equilibrium within 5 minutes for Pb(II) and methyl orange (MO). The theoretical adsorption capacities for Pb(II) and MO were found to be 692.80 mg/g and 497.51 mg/g, respectively. The study also established dynamic theoretical adsorption models, providing guidance for scale-up experiments in wastewater treatment. PEI@UiO-66-NH2 showed excellent performance in recycling Pb(II) and MO, indicating its promising application in removing wastewater contaminants.

Summary: Through temperature-regulated linker thermolysis, MIL-121 was transformed into hierarchically porous MOF variants with increased average pore size (up to 61.8 Å) and specific surface area (up to 346.2 m2/g). The surface functionality and defects were improved, leading to enhanced adsorption of dyes. The adsorption mechanisms were explained using pseudo-second order and Langmuir models, and the thermodynamic studies showed the spontaneous nature of the adsorption. The improved textural and functional properties of MIL-121-500 were responsible for the enhanced adsorption of dyes.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the melamine-functionalized MOF MIL101-Mela effectively removes organic dyes with nitro or sulfonate groups, outperforming other adsorbents. The results highlight the significance of hydrogen donors and acceptors in improving performance in dye removal. The mechanism of dye adsorption is explained by the formation of six-membered rings via hydrogen bonding between the MOFs and the dyes.

Summary: Extensive research has revealed that oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline conditions involves dynamic surface restructuring. The development and design of sulfide/oxide pre-catalysts can reasonably adjust the composition and structure after surface reconstruction, which is crucial for OER. This study utilized a simple two-step hydrothermal method to achieve in situ S leaching and doping, inducing the composition change and structure reconstruction of CoFe oxides. The transformed FeOOH and CoOOH exhibited excellent OER activity and could be easily mass-produced using low-cost iron based materials and simple methods.

Summary: Zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OMHs) are gaining attention in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes due to their broad emission band and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This work synthesized a zero-dimensional organic tetraphenylphosphonium bismuth chloride (TBC) that showed efficient blue light emission, with the emission mechanism attributed to the transition of Bi3+ ions. White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated using TBC, along with green-emitting and red-emitting single crystals, achieving single-component white emissions. These findings demonstrate the different emission mechanism of ns2 ions-based OMHs and highlight the potential of bismuth-based OMHs in WLEDs applications.

Summary: The revolutionary design concept of high-entropy alloys has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of advanced metal materials. In this work, AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy flux cored wires were prepared by combining the design idea of a high-entropy alloy with the characteristics of flux cored wire. AlCr-CuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys were prepared using gas metal arc welding technology. The wear properties of the alloys were analyzed, and the phase composition, microstructure, strengthening mechanism, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that the alloys exhibit a dendritic microstructure with BCC/B2 + FCC phases. Increasing Ti content leads to the precipitation of Laves phase. The alloys show improved microhardness and wear resistance due to the precipitation of coherent B2 and Laves phases. However, excessive Ti addition results in the increase of Laves phase and reduced wear resistance of the alloys.

Summary: In this study, six bimetallic FeCo particles were synthesized via the hydrothermal method at different Fe:Co ratios. The Fe:Co ratio not only modulates the composition of the particles but also influences their structure and magnetic properties. The FeCo alloys showed a transformation from an Fe-based structure to a Co-based structure with increasing Co content. The Fe:Co ratio of 1:1 and 3:1 resulted in particles with the highest and lowest saturation magnetization, respectively.

Summary: We conducted a study on the formation of ultra-fine Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides in Ta+B micro-alloyed 13CrWTi-ODS alloys using electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. The Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides were found to be mainly Y2(Ti,Ta)2O7, with an average size of 7 nm and a number density of 6.8 x 1023 m-3. Excess boron was found to enhance the adhesion of some low-sigma grain boundaries but weaken the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface, while excess tantalum enhanced the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface but caused serious degradation of grain boundaries.

Summary: The structure and magnetism of cobalt ferrites after Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping were studied. Co-doped samples exhibited cubic spinel structure and spherical shape of ferrite nanoparticles. The redistribution of Co2+ and Fe3+ ions between octahedral and tetrahedral sites was observed due to Mn2+-Tb3+ co-doping. The coercivity and magnetization saturation of co-doped samples were significantly improved, leading to a maximum energy product that is 190% higher than that of the un-doped sample.

Summary: Recently, there has been an increasing interest in developing ultra-fine nanostructured electrodes with extensive reaction areas to enhance the performance and low-temperature operation of solid oxide fuel cells. The use of a refined approach involving co-sputtering metal alloys and oxide targets has demonstrated the feasibility of nano-columnar structures in perovskite-based electrodes, expanding the temperature range of thin film electrodes. This study systematically examines the effects of chamber pressure control in the co-sputtering process and identifies the intricate relationship between sputtering pressure and film structure. By fine-tuning the columnar growth in the electrode, significant improvements in performance and thermo-mechanical properties were achieved, resulting in high-performance all-sputtered solid oxide fuel cells.
