Cellulose has outstanding potential for application in energy storage batteries due to its high temperature resistance, high electrolyte affinity, renewability, and suppression of the shuttle effect, but single cellulose membranes still suffer from problems such as inhomogeneous pore distribution and unstable three-dimensional network structure. In this study, a green and sustainable regenerative cellulose (RC)/sodium alginate (SA) gel electrolyte membrane is developed by sol-gel process, the double crosslinked network scaffold centered on Zn was constructed by the synergistic hydrogen-bonding and metal ion- coordination network, the stable and uniform pore structure was also formed. The obtained RC-SA gel electrolyte membrane exhibits outstanding performance, featuring a dual crosslinked network with abundant pore structure and numerous polar groups that effectively enhance Zn transport, significantly improving battery cycling performance.

Glass system of 45BO-20ZnO-30BaO-5X, (where X represents CaO, MgO, AlO, TiO, CuO and FeO) in mole percentage was investigated for gamma ray radiation shielding experimentally. Six glass composites were fabricated and the density was measured experimentally and the BZBCa glass sample has the least density with a value of 3.932 g cm and this is due to the presence of CaO in it, and the sample BZBFe has the highest density with a value of 4.

Basaltic glass was prepared via the solid-state melt method, using Ce to simulate tetravalent actinides. The structure, thermal stability and leaching characteristics of basaltic glass with different contents of CeO were investigated. The XRD/SEM-EDX/Raman results showed that the simulated waste loading of CeO in basaltic glass reached ~ 18 wt%, and CeO crystals precipitated when the CeO content reached 20 wt%.
