Here, we synthesize MOF-derived tri-metallic nanoparticle–cellulose aerogels for enhanced degradation. By pyrolyzing a trimetallic MOF precursor (Fe/Co/Mn), highly dispersed tri-metallic nitrogen-doped carbon nanoparticles (NCNPs) with synergistic catalytic activity were generated and uniformly embedded within a porous, biodegradable cellulose aerogel matrix. The resulting hybrid aerogel combines the high surface area, porosity, and exceptional adsorption capacity of cellulose with the catalytic prowess of tri-metallic NCNPs, facilitating efficient tetracycline (TC) degradation via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Structural and morphological characterization (SEM, TEM, XRD, and XPS) confirmed the successful integration of NCNPs and the aerogel's 3D interconnected porous network. The composite demonstrated outstanding TC removal efficiency (99.3 % within 15 min under optimal conditions), owing to enhanced electron transfer and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.

The development of an exfoliating-free technology to achieve the efficient tribological performance of FGi would greatly avoid energy consumption and additional experimental operations. Herein, nanocellulose (NC) liquid-phase assisted ball-milling and freeze-induced self-assembly processes were used to achieve further refinement of crushed FGi and the construction of NC@FG large-sized interwoven lamellar structures. This process involves the further fragmentation of FGi and the disordered in-situ self-assembly of NC around FG particles, leading to the constriction of FGi into the NC-built interwoven layers. Without the need for additional separation and functionalization steps, NC@FG/sunflower oil (SFO) exhibits long-lasting stable lubricating properties. NC@FG reduced the friction coefficient and wear track width on the engineered steel surface by 32.67 % and 66.27 % as compared to pure SFO, and showing excellent lubricating properties on different substrates at the same time. The systematic wear tests and lubrication theory calculations reveal that the lubrication mechanism of NC@FG originates from the domain-limiting effect of NC on FG nanoparticles, which hinders the disordered movement and agglomeration of the nanocomponents, and improves the deconstruction of NC@FG at the friction interface.

Nickel-based materials are effective AOR catalysts, particularly through the self-oxidation reconstruction into NiOOH.

Herein, we develop a vapor induced phase separation (VIPS) assisted direct ink writing process for the room-temperature fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) polyimide dielectrics. A simple yet effective ink formulation composed exclusively of soluble polyimide (sPI) and solvents is presented. Upon extrusion, the ink undergoes rapid gelation and solidification via VIPS triggered by ambient moisture, followed by solvent exchange in liquid water to form sPI filaments with dense skins and microporous cores. By programmably adjusting nozzle trajectories, the macroscopic features of the filaments can be precisely controlled, enabling the fabrication of 3D sPI dielectrics with a porosity of up to 87 %. These materials exhibit an ultralow permittivity of 1.32 and a loss tangent of 0.005 at 1 MHz, surpassing the performance of many existing dielectrics. The 3D dielectrics are applied in the fabrication of coplanar waveguide antennas and thermal management systems, demonstrating their potential for high-frequency communication and advanced electronics. Furthermore, the 3D sPI prints can be fully recycled by dissolving the products in solvents and reprocessing them into new ultralow-permittivity dielectrics, offering a sustainable and low-carbon manufacturing strategy for the microelectronics industry.
