Though two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbide or nitride (MXene) coatings have been employed to realize self-healing function, the design strategies of the MXene-based coatings and mechanism on how MXenes inhibit corrosion at the coating-metal interface as well as the roles of MXene in self-healing process remain elusive. In this review, the traditional self-healing coatings and the mechanisms were briefly introduced. Subsequently, the MXene and its anti-corrosive property were discussed. Then, the design and properties of self-healing MXene coatings (synergy with Ce<sup>3+</sup>, layered double hydroxide, inhibitors, and self-healing polymer) were further discussed. Importantly, the currently proposed self-healing mechanisms of the MXene coatings were summarized and analyzed. Finally, the challenges and prospects for the self-healing MXene coatings were proposed. This review can provide guidance of designing and understanding the mechanisms of the self-healing MXene coatings.

Therefore, significant efforts have been invested in developing practical and sustainable tools to address this issue, including high-performance adsorbents. In this respect, within the last few years, graphene-based aerogels/xerogels/cryogels (GBAs) have emerged and drawn significant attention as excellent materials for removing and recovering harmful and valuable metals from different aqueous media. Such an upward trend is mainly due to the features of the aerogel materials combined with the properties of the graphene derivatives within the aerogel’s network, including the GBAs’ unique three-dimensional (3D) porous structure, high porosity, low density, large specific surface area, exceptional electron mobility, adjustable and rich surface chemistry, remarkable mechanical features, and tremendous stability. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental and practical aspects and phenomena related to the application of GBAs for metals removal. Herein, we cover all types of (bottom-up) synthesized GBAs, including true microporous graphene-based aerogels as well as other 3D graphene-based open-cell interconnected mesoporous and macroporous aerogels, foams, and sponges. Indeed, we provide insights into the fundamental understanding of the GBAs’ suitability for such an important application by revealing the mechanisms involved in metals removal and the factors inducing and controlling the highly selective behavior of these distinctive adsorbents. Besides conventional adsorptive pathways, we critically analyzed the ability of GBAs to electrochemically capture metal pollutants (<em>i.e.,</em> electrosorption) as well as their efficiency in metals detoxification through reductive mechanisms (<em>i.e.,</em> adsorption-reduction-readsorption). We also covered the reusability aspect of graphene aerogels (GAs)-based adsorbents, which is strongly linked to the GBAs’ outstanding stability and efficient desorption of captured metals. Furthermore, in view of their numerous practical and environmental benefits, the development and application of magnetically recoverable GAs for metals removal is also highlighted. Moreover, we shed light on the potential practical and scalable implementation of GBAs by evaluating their performance in continuous metals removal processes while highlighting the GBAs’ versatility demonstrated by their ability to remove multiple contaminants along with metal pollutants from wastewater media. Finally, this review provides readers with an accessible overview and critical discussion of major recent achievements regarding the development and applications of GAs-based adsorbents for metal ions removal.

Recent studies indicate that the emulsifying properties of plant proteins (PLPs) can be improved after modification through covalent and/or non-covalent interactions with PPs due to the changes in the conformation and/or the surface chemistry of the proteins.

Unlike the high ϕ regime, which is well understood in terms of mode-coupling theory (MCT), the low ϕ regime is still the subject of a debate based on different concepts such as percolation, diffusion-limited colloidal aggregation (DLCA), jamming, or cluster mode-coupling approach. Prior to the analysis of three examples of attractive systems at low ϕ values, a summary of concepts relevant to understanding the formation and properties of such attractive particles is discussed in the present study. Afterwards, we re-analyze the behaviour at a low ϕ of i) suspensions of carbon black (CB) particles, ii) suspensions of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) hard spheres with a depletion attraction induced by the addition of polystyrene (PS), and iii) suspensions of amino acid organogelator molecules which form rod-like objects. The rheological properties of these systems have been studied in detail and their response has been interpreted as being due either to a solid network discussed in relation to the jamming state diagram or to a suspension formed by jamming of clusters. Our analysis shows that these three systems are in fact cluster fluids and that their solid-like response corresponds to a change in their viscoelastic response, the elastic component G' becoming greater than the viscous component G\" at low frequencies. Due to the presence of weak interparticle interactions in the tens range from 1 to 15 k<sub>B</sub>T, a liquid-like state is reversibly achieved at high frequencies, as indicated by the crossover of G' and G\" as a function of frequency for a given concentration. Moreover, all these attractive particle systems at low ϕ show for both moduli a master curve which characterizes these cluster fluids and allows for the classification of these attractive particle systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"335 ","pages":"Article 103335"},"PeriodicalIF":15.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142634302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
