Esterification of lignocellulosic biomass driven by dry ball-milling suffered from agglomeration of lignocellulosic matters during milling process. In this study, esterification of waste mulberry wood (MW) was carried out by wet ball-milling with water and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) to prepare all-wood-plastic composites. Under the same condition, the esterification of MW by wet ball-milling with TBAF presented higher efficiency than that without TBAF which was attributed to catalytic function of F ions meanwhile the binding of TBA to cellulose fibrils hindered the compaction of fibrillated fragments. Pre-ball-milling of MW for 4.0 h apparently promoted the esterification with succinic anhydride. All-wood-plastic composites prepared after 7.0 h succinoylation demonstrated prominent mechanical performance due to strong adhesion of fragments and matrix. This study is supposed to provide an environment-friendly method for efficient conversion of waste lignocellulosic biomass.

Five carbide powders, TiC, CrC, ZrC, NbC and SiC, were selected as raw materials and mixed by dry or wet milling. Then (TiCrZrNb)C-SiC multiphase ceramics were successfully prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1900 °C, using D-HECs-1900 (dry milling method) and W-HECs-1900 (wet milling method), respectively. In this study, the effects of the ball milling method on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the multiphase high-entropy ceramics were systematically investigated.

Fe-based catalysts are commonly applied in the process of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) to olefins, with Hägg iron carbide (FeC) recognized as the primary active phase. However, iron carbonyls, the raw materials for wet chemical synthesis of FeC, are expensive and toxic, which limits large-scale preparation. Here, a cost-effective and versatile method is proposed for the synthesis of FeC nanoparticles (NPs) with nanosized zero-valent iron (abbreviated as NZVI, prepared by reducing iron salts or ball-milling iron powder) instead of iron carbonyls, achieving a cost reduction of 76.

In this research work, nanocrystals (NC) of poorly water-soluble drug genistein (Gen) were formulated to improve its aqueous solubility and bioavailability. Genistein nanocrystals (Gen-NC) were prepared by wet ball milling. The formulation was optimized using Box Behnken Design Expert to evaluate the impact of stabilizer concentration, drug concentration and quantity of zirconium beads (milling media) on NC size, polydispersity and zeta potential.

MgH used in solid-state hydrogen storage still suffers from high thermal stability and slow hydrogen absorption-desorption kinetics. Here, we report a hybrid of MgH-TiC/graphene prepared through a facile wet chemical method followed by a ball-milling method. It was confirmed that the coupling of TiC and graphene possesses a synergistic effect on the hydrogen desorption and absorption reactions of MgH/Mg.

In all-solid-state batteries, a solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity is required for fast charging, uniform lithium deposition, and increased cathode capacity. Lithium argyrodite with BH substitution has promising potential due to its higher ionic conductivity compared to argyrodites substituted with halides. In this study, LiPS(BH), characterized by a high ionic conductivity of 13.
