Molten salt is an indispensable medium for the electrochemical extraction of rare earth metal cerium (Ce). However, the existing molten salt system is incapable of meeting the low-cost requirement of industrial production. The selection of molten salt electrolyte is closely related to its thermodynamic properties and its influence on electrolytic extraction in terms of electrochemical reaction and kinetics. Herein, the constructed potential fluoride electrolyte systems (CeF3-LiF-BaF2, CeF3-LiF-NaF, CeF3-LiF-KF, and CeF3-LiF-NaF-KF melts) were systematically investigated with respect to theoretical electrochemical window, exchange current density at the molten salt/electrode interface during electrolytic reduction, and the effect of density in rare earth deposition. From a comprehensive point of view, the choice of molten salt system for electrolysis should combine the electrochemical reaction properties of rare earth metal ions in it and the physicochemical properties of the molten salt itself. The CeF3-LiF-BaF2 electrolyte was considered as the most promising molten salt system due to its various outstanding parameters (diffusion coefficients: 6.74×10−7 cm2 s−1, exchange current density: 0.649 A cm−2, density: 4.046 g·cm−3). This work provides new insights into fluoride electrolyte design screening.

In this study, nonionic surfactant butoxylated alkyl block ether (AE9Bn) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) with different BO additions were mixed at different molar ratios to make a hybrid system. The interaction parameters and aggregation behaviors of the blended systems were investigated by observing the average direct particle drop distribution and microscopic aggregates in combination with the results of static surface tension tests of the blended systems. The diffusion process of the mixed systems was investigated using dynamic surface tension tests. The dynamic contact angle and foam properties of the solutions of the mixed systems were also studied. Finally, based on the experimental results, it was concluded that the mixed system of AE9Bn (n=2,5) and SDS formed a synergistic effect that significantly led to a decrease in CMC, with an increase in the number of BO additions leading to a more significant decrease in CMC. The mixed system is a non-ideal mixed system, which is consistent with the kinetic mechanism of mixing and diffusion. The hybrid system has good aggregation pattern and wetting diffusion behavior and has low foam stability due to slow maturation of Ostwald.

Tetracycline, one of the antibiotics, is widely used in a number of fields, and residual Tetracycline in the environment can be a serious threat to the safety of environmental ecosystems. In this paper, a series of BaTiO3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts were designed and synthesized by a combination of solvent volatilization and high-temperature thermal polymerization using BaTiO3 and g-C3N4 as raw materials. Construction of S-type heterojunction between BaTiO3 and g-C3N4 lead to the formation of built-in electric field synergistically with BaTiO3 own ferroelectric polarization to promote the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. When Tetracycline was used as the target pollutant, the degradation rate of the BTO900,2/CN catalyst was 91.88 %, which was 142.73 times higher than the 7 % of BaTiO3, which was a significant improvement over the photocatalytic performances of both BaTiO3 and g-C3N4. This provides new ideas for studying BaTiO3-based photocatalyst materials with high photogenerated carrier separation efficiency.

Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) have been identified as promising electrode materials for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high surface area, adjustable conjugated structures, and good chemical/thermal stability. However, their low electrical conductivity limits electron and ion conduction, leading to poor electrochemical performance. In this work, a novel CTF-based monolayer, namely F and Si co-doped CTF0 (F,Si-CTF0), was designed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results demonstrated that the co-doping of F and Si atoms on the CTF0 surface creates more accessible adsorption sites for Li-ion adsorption. The energy analysis confirmed the stability of the F,Si-CTF0 monolayer, which exhibits a notable adsorption energy of −3.53 eV for Li-ion. The F,Si-CTF0 monolayer can accommodate five Li-ions, providing a theoretical specific capacity of 462 mAh g−1 and a positive redox potential of 2.57 V. adsorption of Li ions on the F,Si-CTF0 monolayer leads to a transition from a semiconducting to a metallic state, resulting in a notable enhancement in electronic conductivity. Moreover, the monolayer undergoes minor lattice variations (1.3 %) throughout the lithiation/delithiation process, demonstrating excellent cycling performance. Finally, Li-ion diffuses rapidly on the monolayer surface with a very small diffusion energy barrier of 0.078 eV. The findings suggest that the F,Si-CTF0 monolayer can be used as a viable anode material in next-generation LIBs. This research shows that F and Si co-doping is an effective and viable strategy for designing two-dimensional CTF-based materials as efficient electrodes for LIBs.
共价三嗪框架(CTFs)因其高比表面积、可调共轭结构和良好的化学/热稳定性,已被确定为锂离子电池(LIBs)的理想电极材料。然而,它们的低导电性限制了电子和离子的传导,导致电化学性能低下。在这项工作中,利用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算设计了一种新型的基于 CTF 的单层,即 F 和 Si 共掺杂 CTF0(F,Si-CTF0)。结果表明,F 原子和 Si 原子在 CTF0 表面的共掺杂为锂离子吸附创造了更多的吸附位点。能量分析证实了 F、Si-CTF0 单层的稳定性,它对锂离子的吸附能量显著为 -3.53 eV。Fi-Si-CTF0 单层可容纳五个锂离子,理论比容量为 462 mAh g-1,正氧化还原电位为 2.57 V。此外,在整个锂化/去锂化过程中,单层的晶格变化很小(1.3%),显示出卓越的循环性能。最后,锂离子在单层表面快速扩散,扩散能垒非常小,仅为 0.078 eV。研究结果表明,F、Si-CTF0 单层可用作下一代 LIB 的阳极材料。这项研究表明,F 和 Si 共掺杂是设计二维 CTF 基材料作为 LIB 高效电极的有效可行策略。

Discharging of lead-contained sewage has posed great threats to the ecological environment and human being health. To effectively eliminate Pb2+, a ternary composite cellulose/zinc oxide/magnesium hydroxide (labelled as CelZnMg) was prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS were applied to analyze CelZnMg. It shows that ZnO particles and Mg(OH)2 sheet uniformly distribute on the surface of cellulose. Comprehensive density functional theory calculations realize that the composite has four structural arrangements at the atomic level. Its three components are chemically coupled, which in return stabilize the whole composite. Computationally and experimentally, CelZnMg can separate Pb2+ ions from water and immobilize them on the composite surface, where the removal efficiency reaches 99.7 %. The removal mechanism has been proposed.

Due to its exceptional energy density and specific capacity, the lithium-sulfur battery is considered one of the most promising energy storage devices. However, the practical use of Li-S batteries is significantly hindered by both the shuttle effect and slow conversion of polysulfides. In order to address the shuttle effect of polysulfides, we utilized a Y-MOF derivative Y2O3/YS@C composite material as a modifier layer for Li-S battery separators. Initially, we synthesized Y-MOF by reacting tetra-hydroxyacetate yttrium and isophthalic acid in a solution. Subsequently, we sulfurized the Y-MOF precursor with thioacetamide and heat-treated it at high temperature to obtain Y2O3/YS@C composite material. The strong affinity of metal sulfides for sulfur provides chemical anchoring ability for polysulfide, while the heterogeneous structure can couple non-homogeneous regions together to produce synergistic effects and better catalyze polysulfides. By using Y2O3/YS@C as a separator modifier, we effectively suppressed the shuttle effect of polysulfides and improved electrochemical performance. At 3 mg cm−2 sulfur loading, the initial discharge specific capacity of the Y2O3/YS@C separator at 0.5 C was 966.1 mAh g−1; after 400 cycles, it still maintained a discharge specific capacity of 530.5 mAh g−1 with a capacity retention rate of 54.9 %. When increasing sulfur loading to 5 mg cm−2, the first-cycle discharge specific capacity at 0.l C was 831.4 mAh g−1; after 100 cycles, it was still 738.7 mAh g−1, with a capacity retention rate of 88.8 %.
由于锂硫电池具有出色的能量密度和比容量,因此被认为是最有前途的储能设备之一。然而,多硫化物的穿梭效应和缓慢转化大大阻碍了锂硫电池的实际应用。为了解决多硫化物的穿梭效应,我们利用 Y-MOF 衍生物 Y2O3/YS@C 复合材料作为锂-S 电池隔膜的改性层。首先,我们将四羟基乙酸钇和间苯二甲酸在溶液中反应合成 Y-MOF。随后,我们用硫代乙酰胺对 Y-MOF 前驱体进行硫化,并对其进行高温热处理,得到 Y2O3/YS@C 复合材料。金属硫化物对硫的强亲和力为多硫化物提供了化学锚定能力,而异质结构则能将非异质区域耦合在一起,产生协同效应,更好地催化多硫化物。通过使用 Y2O3/YS@C 作为分离改性剂,我们有效地抑制了多硫化物的穿梭效应,提高了电化学性能。当硫含量为 3 mg cm-2 时,Y2O3/YS@C 分离剂在 0.5 C 下的初始放电比容量为 966.1 mAh g-1;经过 400 个循环后,其放电比容量仍保持在 530.5 mAh g-1,容量保持率为 54.9%。当硫含量增加到 5 mg cm-2 时,在 0.l C 下的第一周期放电比容量为 831.4 mAh g-1;100 个周期后,比容量仍为 738.7 mAh g-1,容量保持率为 88.8%。

Three organic small molecules, namely Diphenyl disulfide (PDS), 4,4′-Dithiodianiline (DDA), and 4-Methylphenyl disulfide (MDS), were subjected to corrosion screening on copper substrates. Electrochemical testing revealed their corrosion efficacy, with MDS exhibiting the highest efficiency at 98.9 %. Investigation into MDS's corrosion mechanism attributed its superior performance to the presence of hydrophobic methyl groups, facilitating the formation of a denser molecular protective film on the copper surface. The adsorption of corrosion inhibitors on copper surfaces was investigated by Langmuir monolayer adsorption model and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations further elucidated the inhibitory mechanisms of these sulfurized compounds and the influence of different functional groups on corrosion efficiency. Specifically, the introduction of methyl groups enhanced MDS's ability to displace water molecules on the copper surface, thereby augmenting its corrosion inhibition potential. These findings align with the observations from electrochemical and surface analyses, affirming the efficacy of MDS in mitigating copper corrosion.

Simultaneous detection of ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), and uric acid (UA) is challenging due to close oxidation potential. These biomolecules lie in the human body and have significant roles in many psychological reactions. A slight change in the concentration of these molecules can cause serious health issues; in this context, accurate and timely detection holds significant value in clinical diagnostics. This work demonstrates the synthesis of 3D zinc nanomarbles on 2D graphene oxide sheets using a rapid and environmentally friendly microwave-assisted technique. The porous morphology with thin nanomarbles where (2 2 0) reactive sites were exposed to the environment with enhanced surface area measured 38.29 m2 g−1. The composite ZnVO/rGO has been employed on glassy carbon electrodes, resulting in superior electrocatalytic properties that enable the simultaneous detection of these analytes with wide potential gaps. Notably, the ZnVO/rGO/GCE exhibits simultaneous detection with a working range of AA (100 µM-1000 µM), DA (10 µM-100 µM), and UA (10 µM-100 µM). The detection limits were estimated to be 4.3 µM, 0.7 µM, and 0.32 µM, respectively. The ZnVO/rGO/GCE sensor demonstrates remarkable stability, selectivity, reproducibility, and satisfactory recovery during real sample analysis. The high surface area, porous nature, and thin size of 3D nanomarbles enhance charge transportation, making it promising for electrochemical performance. This study lays the foundation for future advancements in human health monitoring by introducing a novel approach.

The detection of Carbendazim (CBZ) insecticides has prompted concerns regarding their potential impacts on both human health and the environment. To address this issue, a novel nanocomposite comprising Zinc Vanadate (ZVO) was prepared using a common hydrothermal technique and incorporated with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) to form ZVO/MWCNT nanocomposite. Thus, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been modified using this ZVO/MWCNT nanocomposite, which offering a simple and affordable platform for the electrochemical detection of CBZ. The structure and composition of the nanomaterial were confirmed through various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, while its electrochemical characteristics were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques. The GCE/ZVO/MWCNT modified electrode exhibited a broad linear response ranging from 0.05 to 110 μM, with a low detection limit of 0.005 μM and high sensitivity (2.93 μA μM−1 cm−2), with recoveries ranging from 98 % to 99.93 %, respectively. Moreover, GCE/ZVO/MWCNT electrode demonstrated excellent stability, repeatability, and practical utility for CBZ detection. Based on electrochemical studies that indicate the formation of oxidized products consistent with a 2-electron transfer process. Therefore, this innovative GCE/ZVO/MWCNT modified electrode offers promising prospects for sensitive and selective CBZ determination, with potential applications in environmental monitoring and health protection.
