Control the growth of Fe3O4 on the surface of saponite and its redox effect on Cr (VI) Prog. Nat. Sci. Mater. Int. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-12-22 Ritong Huang, Limei Wu, Xiao Li, Ning Tang, Xiaolong Wang, Lili Gao
In this paper, Magnetite/Saponite (Fe3O4/Sap) composites were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and co-precipitation. The prepared Fe3O4/sap composites had high purity and good crystallinity, and nano-Fe3O4 was uniformly dispersed on the surface of saponite. Moreover, the removal efficiency of Fe3O4/Sap composites for Cr (VI) in water was evaluated. This study revealed the existence of abundant oxygen

Solution blow spinning mass production of mullite nanofiber from environment friendly aqueous Al–Si solutions Prog. Nat. Sci. Mater. Int. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-12-22 Xinpeng Jin, Jiugang Li, Chi Zhang, Keshuai Liu, Chong He, Wenbin Li
Achieving large-scale production of high-performance mullite ceramic nanofibers posed a formidable challenge. Herein, an air heating-solution blow spinning technique was designed for the mass fabrication of mullite nanofibers at high speeds, ranging from 6 to 60 ml/h. Spinnable aqueous Al–Si solution systems, employing various aluminum sources, were systematically investigated. The optimization of

Polyimide/titanium dioxide self-cleaning nano-hybrid films with high photocatalytic properties Prog. Nat. Sci. Mater. Int. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-12-15 Ruilai Liu, Chang Lu, Xiaohong Ding, Yunchi Cai, Song Liang
Self-cleaning films are considered an emerging paradigm of environmentally functional materials. Enhancing the photocatalytic activities of self-cleaning film is a viable strategy for improving its antifouling characteristics. In this work, a polyimide/titanium dioxide (TiO2) film (PI/TiO2) film was developed by casting a mixture of polyamic acid solution and TiO2 hydrosol with a subsequent thermal

Synergistic strengthening mechanism of gradient structure AZ31 magnesium alloy plate in hard plate rolling Prog. Nat. Sci. Mater. Int. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Wen Tao Niu, Feng Li, Jia Yang Zhang, Chao Li, Lu Sun
Compared with homogeneous structural materials, gradient structural materials are easier to realize the strength-ductility optimization. Research on the strengthening mechanism of different gradient structure materials is a meaningful way to broaden the application of gradient structure materials. In this paper, the AZ31 magnesium alloy plate was rolled by hard plate rolling. The gradient structure
