The design and development of a highly efficient and stable catalyst for styrene (ST) obtained from ethylbenzene (EB) dehydrogenation reaction is urgently required because a commercial Fe–K-based catalyst often undergoes severe deactivation resulted from the active phase decomposition into inactive ferrite compound at high temperatures (>600 °C). Herein, ultra-fine Al2O3 nanofibers which are further self-assembled to form uniform rod-like morphology (R–Al2O3) were fabricated via a facile sol-gel strategy and further utilized as support to dispersing vanadium species (V/R–Al2O3). The physicochemical properties of the samples were systematically characterized by XRD, Raman, SEM, TEM, H2-TPR, CO2-TPD, XPS, and 27Al MAS NMR techniques. It is found that except that R–Al2O3 support has the merits of a high specific surface area, lager pore volume, and uniform mesopore structure, the presence of the unsaturated pentacoordinate Al3+ ions plays a pivotal role in better dispersing V active species, with the existence of the isolate and/or polymeric forms. As compared to V/C–Al2O3 (commercial Al2O3 as support), the V/R–Al2O3 catalyst endows outperformed catalytic performances for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene in the presence of CO2 (OEBDH-CO2). In which, the V/R–Al2O3 catalyst gives a high EB catalytic activity and good stability without significant deactivation phenomenon being detected even after the third regeneration test. Such a result can be principally ascribed to that R–Al2O3 support with excellent textural properties can better disperse V species so as to expose more active sites, which is beneficial for improving the conversion efficiency of EB. More importantly, keeping/regaining high valence state of V species in the V/R–Al2O3 catalyst under CO2 as a soft oxidant effectively promotes Mars-Van Krevelen redox cycle, further suppressing the catalyst deactivation. This work provides a rational design strategy for a high efficiency and stable dehydrogenation catalyst by optimizing the textural properties of Al2O3 support and introducing the unsaturated pentacoordinate Al3+ ions.

Visible light response photocatalytic activity appreciably enhanced by Dy incorporated KBiFe2O5 brownmillerite: An approach for wastewater remediation
IF 4.3 3区 材料科学 Q2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-04-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.matchemphys.2025.130794

Dye effluents released from various factories and industries cause environmental contamination as well as health hazards, so it is highly necessary to take care of these issues. This work emphasizes the effective photodegradation of methylene blue (MB), a widely used industrial dye in Dy substituted KBiFe2O5. KBiFe2O5 is a brownmillerite structured promising multiferroic photoactive material favorable for photocatalytic and photovoltaic application. Solid state reaction method is adopted to synthesize Dy doped KBiFe2O5 (KBi1-xDyxFe2O5 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1)) and XRD analysis confirms the monoclinic structure with P2/c space group of the materials. Isothermal magnetic measurement reveals that magnetic moment increases with Dy incorporation by suppressing the canted spin structure of the pure compound. Through rigorous optimization, the photocatalytic performance of doped sample is enhanced from 72 % to 97 % MB degradation efficiency under direct sunlight in 180 min. Photo-generated holes are the primary active species for the degradation of MB in all samples. The enhancements in photocatalytic efficiency is ascribed to increased active sites, reduction in both particle size as well as pore diameter and band gap modification. The photodegradation of MB is also achieved around 90 % efficiency of 5 %-Dy doped KBiFe2O5 upon testing in river water as an industrial application.

Effect of sandblasting treatment on mechanical and electrochemical corrosion properties of SLM-formed Ti6Al4V radial gradient porous bionic bone scaffold
IF 4.3 3区 材料科学 Q2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-31 DOI: 10.1016/j.matchemphys.2025.130825

Radial gradient porous structures, which resemble human bone characteristics, are promising for use in implants. Selective laser melting (SLM) of porous biomaterials shows potential, but challenges such as unmelted powder on the surface affect material quality and dimensional accuracy. Considering the complex solution environment in the human body, corrosion resistance is crucial for implanted materials. In this study, a radial gradient porous scaffold is designed using a Gyroid unit cell structure and fabricated by SLM, followed by sandblasting. The forming accuracy, microstructure, mechanical properties, and electrochemical corrosion behavior in simulated body fluid (SBF) are investigated before and after sandblasting. Sandblasting effectively removes adhering powder, improving pore size accuracy and reducing porosity error from 1.41 %-1.69 % to 0.15 %–0.38 %. Grain size decreases, grain density increases, and unmelted voids are eliminated. However, the passivation film is damaged, reducing corrosion resistance, with a tenfold increase in corrosion current density compared to the original samples. After sandblasting, the elastic modulus increases from 7.84–8.83 GPa to 8.08–9.02 GPa, and the yield strength improves from 292.02–328.31 MPa to 300.17–336.73 MPa, enhancing the scaffold's load-bearing capacity. The SB0.8 structure exhibits the highest yield strength. The scaffold transitions from brittle fracture to a mixed fracture mode, with improved toughness and ductility after sandblasting.

Luminescent metal-organic framework-based dosimeter for H2S gas detection
IF 4.3 3区 材料科学 Q2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.matchemphys.2025.130815

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is considered toxic even at low levels (with concentrations immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) of 100 ppm). Intriguingly, the presence of a very low level of H2S gas (∼0.5 ppm) in the air can be detected by humans due to its characteristic pungent smell. However, upon constant exposure to H2S, the sense of smell gets dissipated due to olfactory paralysis, resulting in a false sense of safety and consequently leading to fatal conditions. Recently, luminescent metal organic frameworks (LMOFs) have emerged as novel platforms for gas sensing applications due to their superior optical properties and high porosity. In the current work, we report the fabrication and sensing behaviour of a LMOF coated fibre-optic sensor probe for highly sensitive and real-time detection of hydrogen sulphide gas under ambient conditions. The sensor probe was fabricated by functionalising the end tip of a silica-based optical fibre with silver-based LMOF. The constituent silver ions of LMOF not only provided reactive sites for H2S gas, but the resulting interaction also offers a highly sensitive photoluminescence quenching-based sensing mechanism for sustained detection of H2S. Additionally, we also deduced that the integration method of LMOF has a marked effect on the overall sensing performance. The sensor probe can detect H2S in real time with a lower limit of detection at 0.085 ppm.

This present study reported the synthesis of Mo (1.0, 3.0, 5.0 %) doped WSe2@rGO using the solvothermal method. The synthesized materials are characterized using different experimental techniques. The specific capacity (SC) of 3.0 % Mo doped WSe2@rGO electrode turns out to be 908.4 Cg-1 (1514 Fg-1) under a current density of 1.0 Ag−1. A relatively better surface area of 3.0 % Mo doped WSe2@rGO causes the enhancement of its SC compared to WSe2@rGO electrode. An asymmetric supercapacitor device (M3//AC) is fabricated using 3.0 % Mo doped WSe2@rGO as a positive electrode and activated carbon (AC) as a negative electrode. The fabricated ASC device reveals an energy density of 70 Whkg−1 for a power density of 1706 Wkg-1. A green-coloured light-emitting diode (LED) is light-up for 13 min using a M3//AC device.

Improved fatigue resistance of thermoplastic elastomer-filled natural rubber composites

Improving fatigue life and crack growth resistance is a sustainable approach to resolving end-of-life recycling challenges associated with cross-linked rubbers. This research paper aims to explore the influence of SIS (styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer) as a thermoplastic elastomer on the crack initiation and propagation resistance of NR rubber compound reinforced by dual carbon black-silica hybrid fillers. A comprehensive array of crack growth analyses including Die-C and Trousers tearing, tearing pattern assessments, fatigue flex cracking, and wear resistance tests were carried out, and the findings were elucidated by analyzing the composite morphology, and the viscoelastic loss behavior. SIS-containing samples exhibited outstanding fatigue cracking resistance, successfully enduring over 100,000 loading cycles without showing any signs of damage. Also, an improvement of 64 % in the Die-C tearing resistance, and 15 % in wear resistance were only part of the positive aspects of SIS presence in the NR composites. Having analyzed the Payne effect, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) test, it is illustrated that the enhancement in durability primarily stems from new sources of viscoelastic dissipation and a better state of filler dispersion within the material.

Long-term deformation and creep of plasterboard coatings in wet and humid environments can threaten the conservation of wall paintings. This research focuses on the significant deformation of gypsum plasterboards after exposure to water, altering the paintings on their surface. In order to propose a safe and appropriate restoration protocol, mechanical softening of gypsum plaster can be used to flatten the deformed gypsum coatings. To gain a better understanding of the response of gypsum plaster to wet and humid environments and its ability to sustain such flattening, creep tests were carried out under different environmental conditions. We focused on the maximum deflection amplitudes measured by macroscopic threepoint bending under constant load and their variations with liquid water and high humidity, during an initial deformation phase and a recovery phase. Thanks to this research, we have improved our understanding of: i) the relationship between the deformation of gypsum plasters and the environmental stresses involved, ii) the plasticity of deformation and the recovery ability of gypsum plasters, iii) the humid and wet conditions and environments that could be proposed to carry out a safe restoration of the wall paintings.

However, the widely accepted TiO2 semiconductor photocatalyst for a PEC system portrays less visible light absorption due to its wide bandgap and rapid recombination of e/h+ pairs that ultimately lead to its low hydrogen production efficiency. Herein this work, heterostructure graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and cupric oxide (CuO) modified TiO2 based photocatalyst were prepared to elucidate the optoelectronic and charge transfer properties of the TiO2 based photocatalysts to enhance their photocatalytic performances. The GQD and CuO modified TiO2 based photocatalysts were synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis technique at calcination temperature of 450 °C for calcination durations up to 3 h. The effect of the dopants was investigated on various physiochemical properties including structural, morphological, chemical, elemental, optoelectronic and as well as, photoelectrochemical properties. The developed CuO/GQD@TiO2 heterostructure photocatalyst presented the lowest energy bandgap (2.16 eV), enhanced visible light absorption (up to ∼745 nm), and reduced recombination of the charge carriers. The optimized tri-layered novel CuO/GQD@TiO2 photocatalyst demonstrated maximum H2 production up to 34,466 μmol g−1h−1 with photoconversion efficiency ∼9.01 %. Overall, the presented mechanistic insight and targeted strategy of incorporating CuO and GQD into TiO2 photocatalyst provides a fresh perspective in producing H2 efficiently using PEC approach.

Stretchable high-performance strain sensors with synergistic thermal regulation functions have attracted considerable interest in health monitoring and wearable electronics. However, accurate and reliable sensing efficiency under different mechanical stimuli with heat management is challenging. A synergistic interaction between the IrGO/PDMS composite dielectric layer and the AgNWs-silver paste conducting electrode has been discussed in detail. A mechanically robust, high sensitivity, response time, linearity, and low detection limit have developed a capacitive-type strain sensor. The sensing device was fabricated using a layer-by-layer assembly technique with a gauge factor of ∼9.7 at a 5.62 % sensing range and 0.08 % detection limit. The dielectric property and thermal conductivity of composite films were investigated to assess the film's capacitive behavior and heat transport phenomenon, respectively. The significantly enhanced properties, as mentioned earlier, were attributed to the homogeneous dispersion and orientation of the IrGO sheets that ultimately improved the dielectric constant by ∼635 % and thermal conductivity by ∼558 %. The sensing performance of the device was evaluated under different strains with ∼8.7 % hysteresis and long cyclic stability for >4500 cycles. These encouraging outcomes provide an innovative and feasible approach to designing multifunctionally capacitive strain sensors in personal healthcare and thermal regulation applications.

Impact of low-energy mechanical activation of powder mixture and subsequent heating mode on the physical and mechanical properties of intermetallic compound Ni3Al
IF 4.3 3区 材料科学 Q2 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2025-03-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.matchemphys.2025.130804

The influence of preliminary low-energy mechanical activation (LEMA) of the 3Ni + Al powder mixture on the grain structure, porosity, microhardness, plasticity, and hardness of the Ni3Al intermetallic compound was investigated using experimental and theoretical methods. The heating of the mechanically activated mixture was conducted in two modes: continuous heating with an external energy source and heating with its shutdown at near-critical low temperatures. It was found that preliminary LEMA facilitates the synthesis of an intermetallic compound with a fine-grained structure (∼3 μm). Additionally, LEMA increases porosity by 26 %, hardness by 15–33 %, and microhardness by 87.5 %, while reducing plasticity by 16.2 %. It was demonstrated that early deactivation of the external heat source during the heating of the LEMA-treated mixture does not significantly affect the formation of the single-phase product or its physicochemical properties. This finding suggests the potential for significant energy savings in the synthesis of Ni3Al. Analytical relationships were derived to estimate the hardness and grain size of Ni3Al synthesized from the LEMA-treated mixture.
