Abstract
Doped two-dimensional (2D) materials hold significant promise for advancing many technologies, such as microelectronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage. Herein, n-type 2D oxidized Si nanosheets, namely n-type siloxene (n-SX), are employed as Li-ion battery anodes. Via thermal evaporation of sodium hypophosphite at 275 °C, P atoms are effectively incorporated into siloxene (SX) without compromising its 2D layered morphology and unique Kautsky-type crystal structure. Further, selective nucleophilic substitution occurs, with only Si atoms being replaced by P atoms in the O3≡Si-H tetrahedra. The resulting n-SX possesses two delocalized electrons arising from the presence of two electron donor types: (i) P atoms residing in Si sites and (ii) H vacancies. The doping concentrations are varied by controlling the amount of precursors or their mean free paths. Even at 2000 mA g-1, the n-SX electrode with the optimized doping concentration (6.7 × 1019 atoms cm-3) delivers a capacity of 594 mAh g-1 with a 73% capacity retention after 500 cycles. These improvements originate from the enhanced kinetics of charge transport processes, including electronic conduction, charge transfer, and solid-state diffusion. The approach proposed herein offers an unprecedented route for engineering SX anodes to boost Li-ion storage.

Implementation of P-Reactive Layer for Improving Urban Water Quality: Kinetic Studies, Dimensioning and Economic Analysis. SUSTAINABILITY 2022.

Abstract
Urbanization and climate change affecting water quality are the most critical problems that humanity has to encounter globally. Undoubtedly, urban water bodies are heavily contaminated by phosphorus (P). This study aims to identify the mechanisms and efficiency of the P sorption process for selected reactive materials (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), Filtralite® Nature P, lightweight expanded clay aggregate (Leca®), limestone, opoka, and zeolite) with surface water as adsorbate and dimension of P-reactive reactive layer supported with economic analysis. Four kinetic models were used to know the sorption mechanism: pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich, and intra-particle diffusion model. Calculating the P-reactive layer was based on dimensioning rain retention spaces standards. The pseudo-second model provided the best description of the adsorption kinetics of most materials. The sorption properties obtained after 72 h showed the reduction of 83, 81, 59, 53, 37, and 36% for AAC, opoka, Filtralite® Nature P; limestone, Leca®, and zeolite, respectively. Depending on the volume, the P-reactive layer can remove 29–77 or 61–163 g of P-PO4. The unit cost of removing P-PO4 by the P-reactive layer range from 49.57 to 85.53 €/P-PO4 g. For these reasons, reactive materials seem to be an effective way of removing P from the urban water environment worldwide from both environmental and economic points of view.

Synergistic effects of ball-milled biochar-supported exfoliated LDHs on phosphate adsorption: Insights into role of fine biochar support. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 294:118592. [PMID: 34856246 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/25/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Although biochar supports were widely adopted to fabricate the biochar (BC) supported layered double hydroxides (LDHs) composites (LDH-BC) for efficient environmental remediation, few studies focus on the important role of biochar support in alleviating the stacking of LDHs and enhancing LDH-BC's performance. Through the analysis of the material structure-performance relationship, the "support effect" of fine biochar prepared by ball milling was carefully explored. Compared with the original LDHs on LDH-BC, the LDHs on ball milled biochar (LDH-BMBC) had smaller particle size (from 1123 nm to 586 nm), crystallite size (from 20.5 nm to 6.56 nm), more abundant O-containing functional groups, and larger surface area (370 m2 g-1) and porous structure. The Langmuir model revealed that the maximum theoretical phosphate adsorption capacity of LDH-BMBC (56.2 mg P g-1) was significantly higher than that of LDH-BC (27.6 mg P g-1). The leaching experiment proved that the addition of LDH-BMBC in calcareous soil could significantly reduce the release of soil total phosphate (46.1%) and molybdate reactive phosphate (40.4%), even though pristine BC and BMBC significantly enhanced the soil phosphate leaching. This work fabricated high-performance and eco-friendly LDH-BMBC for phosphate adsorption in solution and phosphate retention in soil and also provide valuable insights into fine biochar support effect on LDHs exfoliation, extending the practical use of the engineered ball milled biochars in environment remediation.

Abstract
The efficient enrichment and reutilization of phosphate from natural water still remains a daunting challenge to satisfy the increasingly stringent phosphate discharge criteria. In response to this problem, the presented study successfully synthesizes a series of magnetic zeolitic imidazolate framework-8@engineering nanomaterials (ZIF8@ENMs) via a two-step hydrothermal and coprecipitation method by facilely growing ZIF8 and/or Fe3O4 on various functional ENMs. Structure morphology, chemical composition and hysteresis curve characterizations demonstrate the successful formation of magnetic Fe3O4-ZIF8@ENM. Amongst the prepared magnetic ZIF8@ENMs hybrids, the Fe3O4-ZIF8@ENMs possessing massive hydroxyl groups is demonstrated to harvest the maximum adsorption capacity of 441.7 mg g-1 under neutral condition. Such-acquired adsorption capacity evidently surpass state-of-the-art adsorbents. Systematic assessment of the chemical condition effects on phosphate removal, revealing its conspicuous merits of robust pH independence (94.63-98.20%), high selectivity pinpointing phosphate within complex cations, ease-of-separation and satisfactory recycle. The outstanding performance of magnetic ZIF8@ENMs are mainly derived from the formed strong ZnOP, FeOP and electrostatic interactions between phosphate and adsorbents. Along this line, designing magnetic MOFs-based hybrids towards phosphate are anticipated to be promising avenues for advanced treatment of phosphate-like contaminants and efficient recycle in practical applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:45414-45421. [PMID: 33866501 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-13436-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The application of ferrate (Fe(VI)) and ferric chloride as coagulants for treating phosphate wastewater in the presence of kaolin clay particles was comparatively studied. The phosphate removal processes by ferrate and ferric chloride assisted with kaolin clay particles were investigated under different Fe/P molar ratios. At neutral pH, complete removal of phosphates by ferrate and ferric chloride was observed at 2:1 and 6:1 of Fe/P molar ratio, respectively. The effect of kaolin clay particles on the phosphate removal process was discussed by zeta potential, size particle distribution, FTIR and XPS. We showed that with the increase of Fe/P molar ratio, the interaction intensity of kaolin clay particles with Fe flocs was decreased by ferric chloride coagulation while firstly increased and then decreased by ferrate. This depends on the Fe species with positive charge from ferric chloride hydrolysis and ferrate decomposition. Phosphate can inhibit the formation of FeOH2+ and Fe(OH)2+ in the ferric chloride hydrolysis but promote the formation of FeOOH and Fe(OH)2+ in the ferrate decomposition. Kaolin clay particles can more remarkably promote phosphate removal by ferrate than by ferric chloride.

Abstract
Mixed metal oxide (MMO) is one of the widely utilized ceramic materials in various industries. In order to obtain high performance, the specific surface area of MMO should be controlled. Calcination of layered double hydroxide (LDH) is a versatile way to prepare MMO with homogeneous metal distribution and well-developed porosity. Although researchers found that the specific surface area of LDH-originated MMO was relatively high, it had not been systematically investigated how the surface area is controlled under a certain parameter. In this review, we summarized LDH-originated MMO with various starting composition, calcination temperature, and pore developing agent in terms of specific surface area and porosity. Briefly, it was represented that MMOs with Mg-Al components generally had higher specific surface area than Mg-Fe or Zn-Al components. Calcination temperature in the range 300–600 °C resulted in the high specific surface area, while upper or lower temperature reduced the values. Pore developing agent did not result in dramatic increase in MMO; however, the pore size distribution became narrower in the presence of pore developing agents.
