Reasonable construction of Li/Al-LDHs with interlayer anions is essential to improve the adsorption performance, especially for intercalating SO anions and blocking Li desorption. Hence, anion exchange between Cl and SO in the interlayer of Li/Al-LDHs was designed and prepared to demonstrate the strong exchangeability of SO for Cl intercalated in the Li/Al-LDH interlayer. Intercalated SO enlarged the interlayer spacing and significantly transformed the stacking structure of Li/Al-LDHs, resulting in fluctuating adsorption performance with changes in the intercalated SO content at different ionic strengths. What is more, SO repelled the intercalation of other anions, thus inhibiting Li adsorption, as verified by the negative correlation between adsorption performance and intercalated SO content in high-ionic-concentration brines. Desorption experiments further revealed that enhanced electrostatic attraction between SO and the Li/Al-LDH laminates hindered Li desorption. Additional Li in the laminates was essential for preserving the structural stability of Li/Al-LDHs with higher SO contents. This work provides a new insight into the development of functional Li/Al-LDHs in ion adsorption and energy conversion applications.

Catalyst design plays a critical role in ensuring sustainable and effective energy conversion. Electrocatalytic materials need to be able to control active sites and introduce defects in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. Furthermore, producing efficient catalysts with a distinct surface structure advances our comprehension of the mechanism.

Unlabelled: The presence of bromate in water poses a significant health risk. In order to effectively eliminate bromate from water, this study synthesized a series of ternary Zn-Ni-Al layered double hydroxides with varying Zn/Ni/Al atomic ratios using a co-precipitation method. The adsorbents were characterized using various techniques including XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and N adsorption-desorption isotherms.

Background: Examples of group B red cells that react weakly or not at all with anti-B have been described. Subgroups of B such as B, B, B, and B are rare and are less frequently reported. We studied the frequency of subgroups of B in our healthy blood donor population and serologically characterized and differentiated these subgroups.

In various applications, the pore structure of a porous medium must be controlled to facilitate heat and mass transfer, which considerably influence the system performance. Freeze-casting is a versatile technique for creating aligned pores; However, because of the complexity of the associated equipment and the energy inefficiency of liquid-nitrogen-based cooling in a room-temperature environment, limits scalability for industrial applications. This study is aimed at establishing a novel freeze-casting strategy with a simple mold design combining heat-conductive and insulating materials for long-range pore alignment via directional ice growth under deep-freezing conditions, rendering it feasible for large-scale production.
