Article Abstract

Ball milling TiO anatase together with TiH can create an effective photocatalyst. The process changes the lattice and electronic structure of anatase. Lattice deformation created by mechanical impact combined with hydride incorporation yield electronic gap-states close to the conduction band of anatase. These provide longer lifetimes of photogenerated charge carriers and lead to an intrinsic cocatalytic activation of anatase for H evolution.

In this study, infrared spectroscopy investigations in combination with DFT calculations were used to elucidate interactions between bosentan monohydrate (BOS) and sildenafil base (SIL) initiated under high energy ball milling. The research was focused mainly on the vibrational properties of their co-milled binary solid dispersions compared to the physical mixtures and single drugs. First, the stability and structure of sildenafil isomers were established.

Cotton stalk (CTS) and corn stover (CRS) were pretreated using solid alkali (NaOH or Ca(OH)) assisted ball milling (BM). The physicochemical properties of the pretreated materials and their high-solid enzymatic hydrolysis performance were systematically investigated. The interaction between alkali and straw was synergistically enhanced by mechanical force generated during BM, achieving effective lignin removal.

Herein, ball-milled magnetic biochar-vermiculite composite (MBC@VT) and ball-milled magnetic biochar-zeolite composite (MBC@ZT) were synthesized via one-step ball-milling, and their adsorption capacities for Pb(II)/P-nitrophenol (PNP) in water were compared. The results demonstrated that the removal of Pb(II) and PNP through both materials was a complex, endothermic reaction mainly driven by chemisorption, with strong tolerance to pH changes and co-existing ions. MBC@VT showed superior adsorption for Pb(II) (reaching 367.

While the effects of new solid electrolytes and active materials in cathode composites for solid-state batteries are being intensively researched, little is known about the influence of mechanical processing on the properties of these composites. Here, the influence of mechanical process parameters on the production of LiPSCl and LiNiCoMnO composite cathodes applying a planetary ball milling process is systematically investigated. It is shown that the milling process has a significant influence on the microstructure of the composite by affecting the solid electrolyte particle size and the formation of electrolyte-active material aggregates.
