AI Article Synopsis

  • The mechanical milling process of two different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) without solvents creates a solid solution, a method not possible with traditional solution-based techniques.
  • X-ray and STEM-EDX analyses indicate that milling in an argon environment increases the movement of metal ions in an amorphous solid matrix.
  • This amorphous state can be converted into a porous crystalline structure through vapor exposure, resulting in a new phase of the MOF solid solution.

Article Abstract

The solvent-free mechanical milling process for two distinct metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals induced the formation of a solid solution, which is not feasible by conventional solution-based syntheses. X-ray and STEM-EDX studies revealed that performing mechanical milling under an Ar atmosphere promotes the high diffusivity of each metal ion in an amorphous solid matrix; the amorphous state turns into the porous crystalline structure by vapor exposure treatment to form a new phase of a MOF solid solution.

Due to the high cost of raw materials, this work aims to benefit from metal waste, especially iron (Fe) and silicon bronze, which results from turning workshops and recycling them to obtain nanocomposites for industrial applications. In this respect, Fe/SiBr/SiN/silica fume nanocomposites possessing superior mechanical, wear, and magnetic characteristics have been produced using powder metallurgy (PM) technology. Milled sample particle size, crystal size, and phase composition were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Presently, researchers are placing emphasis on microwave absorption coating design while neglecting the research on materials that integrate both microwave absorption performance and mechanical properties. Here, robust FeSiAl/PEEK composites were prepared by a series process, including post ball-milling annealing, sol-gel method, and hot pressing. A detailed analysis of the electromagnetic (EM) parameters reveals the significant effects of morphology, filling ratio, and microstructure of FeSiAl on EM losses under a wide-temperature range.

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation is regarded as a green and sustainable strategy to address the global freshwater crisis. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to develop a photothermal structure with highly efficient evaporation under omnidirectional illumination. Herein, a three-dimensional multiscale pyramidal array photothermal structure (PAPS) was developed from the inspiration of durian skin.
