Published: November 2019

Electrochemical reactions represent a promising approach to control magnetization via electric fields. Favorable reaction kinetics have made nanoporous materials particularly interesting for magnetic tuning experiments. A fully reversible ON and OFF switching of magnetism in nanoporous Pd(Co) at room temperature is demonstrated, triggered by electrochemical hydrogen sorption. Comprehensive magnetic characterization in combination with high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy reveals the presence of Co-rich, nanometer-sized clusters in the nanoporous Pd matrix with distinct superparamagnetic behavior. The strong magneto-ionic effect arises from coupling of the magnetic clusters via a Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida-type interaction in the Pd matrix which is strengthened upon hydrogen sorption. This approach offers a new pathway for the voltage control of magnetism, for application in spintronic or microelectromagnetic devices.

The efficiency of ultrafiltration (UF) of acidified skim milk (SM) is impaired by protein aggregation and mineral scaling. The aim of this study is to assess the potential of acidification by electrodialysis with bipolar membranes (EDBM), in comparison with citric acid (CA), prior to the UF process on filtration performance, fouling and composition of the protein concentrates. Electro-acidification, facilitated by a water-splitting reaction, decreased the pH of milk to ∼ 5.

This study evaluated some physicochemical properties of an experimental tricalcium silicate-based cement (ETSC) indicated for use as pulp capping or endodontic repair material; Biodentine (BD) and White MTA-Angelus (MTA) cements served as comparators. Setting time, radiopacity, sorption, and solubility were determined according to ISO 6876/2012 and compressive strength according to ISO 9917-1/2019. pH and calcium ion release capacity were also assessed.

This study introduces an innovative approach to alloy design by experimentally validating the semi-empirical concept of Griessen and Driessen, which predicts the hydrogen affinity of solid solutions. The work focuses on designing and synthesizing four equiatomic high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with compositions tailored to exhibit highly endothermic enthalpies of solution and formation, resulting in resistance to hydrogen absorption. Unlike conventional studies that prioritize hydrogen storage capacity, this research uniquely targets alloys optimized for minimal hydrogen interaction, addressing critical needs in hydrogen storage and transportation technologies prone to hydrogen embrittlement.

Uranium (U), a high-performing, low-emission energy source, is driving sustainable economic growth. Herein, we synthesized two crystalline phases (HPOC-α and β) by an unreported amidoxime organic cage used for uranium capture. The revealed crystal structures and uranium adsorption test showed that accessible functional groups were essential to uranyl ions sorption.

2D and 3D porous coordination networks (PCNs) as exemplified by metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, have garnered interest for their potential utility as sorbents for molecular separations and storage. The inherent modularity of PCNs has enabled the development of crystal engineering strategies for systematic fine-tuning of pore size and chemistry in families of related PCNs. The same cannot be said about one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, CPs, which are understudied with respect to porosity.
