The traditional electric furnace pyrolysis to produce heteroatom doped carbon faces the time-consuming issue due to the fixed size of furnace chamber and indirect heat transfer. Herein a fast Joule-heating pyrolysis method, viz., powering on the C, N, Fe-containing, conductive polyaniline precursor at fixed direct current (DC) voltage for a specific time, is put forward. The polyaniline precursor begins to decompose thermally when being powered with a DC voltage of 5.0 V upwards. In the pyrolysis products, Fe and N co-doping of carbon material leads to C–N bonding and C-Fe bonding in a certain way. The direct peroxide-peroxide fuel cell (DPPFC) with the optimal Fe, N codoped carbon material as anode and cathode can generate an open circuit voltage of 0.85 V and a peak power density of 29.7 mW cm−2 in ambient temperature, which is highly competitive compared with other DPPFCs with anode and/or cathode made of noble metals.

Co 9 S 8 is a potential anode material for its high sodium storage performance, easy accessibility, and thermostability. However, the volume expansion is a great hindrance to its development. Herein, a composite containing Co 9 S 8 nanofibers and hollow Co 9 S 8 nanospheres with N, S co-doped carbon layer (Co 9 S 8 @NSC) is successfully synthesized through a facile solvothermal process and a high-temperature carbonization. Ascribed to the carbon coating and the large specific surface area, severe volume stress can be effectively alleviated. In particular, with N and S heteroatoms introduced into the carbon layer, which is conducive to the Na + adsorption and diffusion on the carbon surface, Co 9 S 8 @NSC can perform more capacitive sodium storage mechanism. As a result, the electrode can exhibit a favorable reversible capacity of 226 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 and a favorable capacity retention of 83.1% at 1 A g −1 after 800 cycles. The unique design provides an innovative thought for enhancing the sodium storage performance.

Carbon dots (CDs) have caught enormous attention owing to their distinctive properties, such as their high water solubility, tunable optical properties, and easy surface modification, which can be generally used for the detection of heavy metals and organic pollutants. Herein, nitrogen and fluorine co-doped carbon dots (NFCDs) were designed via a rapid, low-cost, and one-step microwave-assisted technique using DL-malic acid and levofloxacin. The NFCDs emitted intense green fluorescence under UV lighting, and the optical emission peak at 490 nm was observed upon a 280 nm excitation, with a high quantum yield of 21.03%. Interestingly, the spectral measurements illustrated excitation-independent and concentration-independent single-color fluorescence owing to the presence of nitrogen and fluorine elements in the surface functional groups. Additionally, the NFCDs were applied for the selective detection of Fe3+and ascorbic acid based on the “turn-off” mode. The detection limits were determined as 1.03 and 4.22 µM, respectively. The quenching mechanisms were explored using the static quenching mechanism and the inner filter effect. Therefore, a NFCDs fluorescent probe with single color emission was successfully developed for the convenient and rapid detection of Fe3+and ascorbic acid in environments.

Graphical Facile and scalable route to MnS@NSC composite : A sub-micro MnS@NSC composite was synthesized facilely by employing low-cost commercial MnS as raw material and in-situ compositing with N,S-codoped carbon, which exhibit excellent electrochemical performance in half/full lithium-ion cells. Nanostructured manganese sulfide (MnS) has been verified to be effective to address the issues of MnS as next-generation anode material in high energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The scale-up fabrication, however, is still challenged by the multistep and rigid processes of synthesizing MnS nanoparticles. Herein, by using micro-sized MnS as low-cost MnS source, we present a facile, cost-effective and scalable strategy to prepare a sub-micrometer sized MnS@NSC composite, in which MnS nanoparticles are encapsulated into N,S-codoped carbon matrix (NSC) deriving from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The NSC matrix combined with homogeneously distributed MnS nanoparticles crushed from micro-MnS provide fast access of lithium ion/electron and robust structure, leading to remarkable cycling stability (551.6 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 even after 400 cycles) and desirable rate capability (624 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and around 300 mAh g −1 at 2 A g −1 ). Particularly, the assembled LIB full cell by coupling the anode with LiFePO 4 (LFP) cathode presents an encouragingly cycling retention of 96 % after 100 cycles. This work provides a new possibility for design and industrial implementation of MnS as advanced anode materials for LIBs.

An “on–off–on” fluorescent phosphorus/nitrogen co-doped carbon dot (PNCD) probe was explored for the determination of Cr(VI) and dopamine resulting from the inner filter effect (IFE). The blue-emitting carbon dots with high quantum yields of 25.47% as well as a narrow size distribution were synthesized by a rapid, convenient route using H3PO4 and ethylenediamine as the precursors without any surface passivation. A wide linear region in the range of 7–70 μM with a detection limit of 0.71 μM was achieved for Cr(VI). Moreover, the proper reductants can weaken the inner filter effect to recover the PNCD fluorescence by converting Cr(VI) into Cr(III). Therefore, the PNCDs/Cr(VI) hybrid could also be used as an “off–on” fluorescent probe for detecting dopamine (DA) with a detection limit of 0.49 μM. Consequently, the PNCDs could serve as a powerful fluorescent bi-sensor for detection of both Cr(VI) and DA in practical applications.

Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP) coated with N and S co-doped carbon (NSC) was investigated by DFT calculation, suggesting that NSC significantly enhances electronic conductivity and lowers the energy barrier to Li+ migration in comparison to LVP-embedded in pristine carbon. To experimentally confirm the theoretical prediction, three types of LVP particle embedded in N and S co-doped porous carbon (LVP@NSC) materials with various nitrogen and sulfur molar ratios (N : S = 1 : 1, 1 : 2 and 2 : 1) were prepared by a facile freeze-drying-assisted wet chemical route associated with a post-annealing process. When used as a cathode for a lithium-ion battery (LIB), the designed LVP@NSC with N : S = 1 : 2 exhibits outstanding high rate capacities of 124.4 and 107.85 mA h g−1, respectively, at 2 and 20 C in a voltage window of 3.0–4.3 V, and an ultralong cycling stability of 500 times at 20 C while retaining a reversible capacity of 100.22 mA h g−1, possibly due to its smallest charge transfer resistance and highest Li+ migration coefficient, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. This work not only reveals the critical role of an interaction mechanism between NSC and LVP, but also offers great potential for high-energy density LIB applications.

N,S-co-doped carbons were synthesized through the calcination of sulfur-modified chitosan for the first time, and utilized as persulfate activators for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) remediation in water. The chitosan and sulfonyl chloride underwent one-step sulfonylation reaction to generate S-modified chitosan. The catalyst NSC-3 showed both excellent adsorption and catalytic oxidation efficiency, corresponding 98.62% removal and 81.34% mineralization rate within 90 min. The rate constant ( k obs ) was up to 0.0578 min −1 , with 75.60-folders higher than that of sulfur-free catalyst NC (7.6580 ×10 −4 min −1 ). The synergy of N and S contributed to the improvement of removal efficiency. The adsorption and oxidation performance were highly depended on the S/N atomic ratio. At the S/N ratio of 0.18, the maximum adsorption and oxidation capability were obtained. The NSC-3/PS system exhibited outstanding adaptability at the wide pH range from 3.07 to 9.28, while the inhibitory effect occurred at strong basic conditions (pH = 11.01). The thiophene sulfur and structural defects were identified as the catalytic sites in activating PS. Both radical and non-radical pathways were responsible for degradation process, where 1 O 2 played a major role, SO 4 ·- exerted a minor contribution, and O 2 ·- acts as the precursor for the production of 1 O 2 . Another source of 1 O 2 was assigned to the activation of PS by structure defects . This work indicates that N,S-co-doped carbon at an optimal S/N atomic ratio effectively catalyzes persulfate, and provides an innovative method to construct bifunctional carbon materials of adsorption and oxidization.

The N, S co-doped carbon nanotube-encapsulated Co nanoparticle (NP) material was prepared by one-pot pyrolysis of cheap precursor materials. As-prepared Co@NSC-800 exhibited excellent catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation and N-formylation of nitroarenes, and the solvent and hydrogen source were the critical factors affecting the selectivity of aniline and benzamide. Moreover, the synergistic effect between Co NPs and N, S atoms was beneficial to improve the catalytic efficiency of Co@NSC-800; especially, the incorporation of S atoms greatly boosted the selectivity of N-formylation. Despite the use of HCOONH4 (HCOOH) as a hydrogen donor for hydrogenation and formylation of nitroarenes, the special nanotube structure of the Co@NSC-800 catalyst effectively prevented the corrosion of Co NPs and showed excellent durability under harsh reaction conditions. In addition, the catalyst maintained excellent catalytic activity after six cycles and was easily separated using an external magnet. Thus, this study can provide an effective method for the transfer hydrogenation and formylation of nitroarenes.

The present study illustrates the facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles capped with sulfur and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (AgNPs@SNCDs) nanocomposites and their application towards the sensitive and selective detection of glutathione (GSH) using a spectrofluorimetry method. SNCDs were synthesized using solvothermal treatment of cysteamine hydrochloride and p -phenylenediamine. The as-fabricated SNCDs were then utilized as capping and stabilizing agents for the preparation of AgNPs@SNCDs nanocomposites using wet chemistry. The size of AgNPs@SNCDs nanocomposites was characterized to be ~37.58 nm or even larger aggregates. Particularly, the quenched fluorescence of AgNPs@SNCDs nanocomposites could be significantly restored upon addition of GSH, and the colour of its solution changed to some extent. The fluorescence intensity ratio of AgNPs@SNCDs nanocomposites at ~450 nm and 550 nm was directly proportional to the GSH concentration within the ranges 8.35–66.83 μM and 66.83–200.5 μM, and the detection limit was 0.52 μM. Furthermore various common organic molecules had no obvious interference in the detection mode. The proposed nanosensor was successfully applied for GSH assay in actual water samples.

In this study, Fe–N co-doped carbon nanotubes (Fe–N-CNTs) were prepared and used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for advanced oxidation removal of Rhodamine B (RhB). The XRD, XPS, SEM and EDS results revealed that the Fe, N, O co-doped carbon nanotubes (Fe–N-CNTS) coated with FeO(OH) nanosheets were successfully synthesized by a simple pyrolyzing process. The large BET specific surface area (286.42 m 2 /g) and hybrid pore structure of micropores and mesopores (3–10 nm) of the Fe–N-CNTS ensured its good RhB degradation performance (98% in 30 min) by activatting PMS. The Fe–N-CNTS-1.5 had the best degradation performance, which could be attributed to the synergy effect between FeO(OH) nanosheets and Fe–N-CNTS. The 1 O 2 , O 2 •, •OH and SO 4 −• were formed during the PMS activating process and involved in the RhB degradation. The reaction constant of 0.5483 min −1 could be obtained by adding 1.5 mM PMS, which is about 12 and 24 times of the reaction constant of PMS only (0.0458 min −1 ) and FeN-CNTS only (0.0226 min −1 ), respectively. This work provides new insight into the mechanism of PMS activation by carbon-based catalysts for the efficient degradation of RhB.

Highly fluorescent carbon quantum dots co-doped with selenium and nitrogen (SeN-CQDs) were fabricated via a one-pot hydrothermal route using selenomethionine as the sole precursor. The SeN-CQDs aggregates have sizes between 30 and 45 nm and display blue fluorescence with a quantum yield of 8% at excitation/emission wavelengths of 350/445 nm. The fluorescence is pH dependent and decreases under acidic conditions. The doping of the CQDs with selenium and nitrogen was proven by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Fluorescence is selectively quenched by perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and this is accompanied by a decreased fluorescence lifetime. Quenching is not due to aggregation in view of the unaltered sizes of nanoparticles as revealed by TEM and DLS analyses. UV-vis absorption titration suggested the formation of an excited state complex between SeN-CQDs and PFOA, and quenching originates from the internal electron transfer in the excited state complex. The method was used to detect PFOA quantitatively in the linear range of 10–70 μM with a 1.8 μM detection limit. The nanoprobe has a high selectivity for PFOA over potentially interfering molecules. The practicability of the method was ascertained by accurate detection of PFOA in real samples by the standard addition method. The method may be further improved by tuning the interaction between PFOA and SeN-CQDs through optimizing the doping and the surface composition of the SeN-CQDs.

Herein, nitrogen and sulfur codoped carbon dots (N&S CDs) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal process and they could be introduced as a fluorescent probe for the determination of cadmium ions (Cd2+), yielding high sensitivity and excellent selectivity. The obtained N&S CDs exhibited bright blue fluorescence with a quantum yield of 40% and exhibited a fast responsive fluorescence quenching signal within 2 min toward Cd2+ in both ultrapure water and real water samples. The CDs responded to Cd2+, which acted as a quencher of blue fluorescence at 459 nm with the limit of detection of 0.018 μM in the range of 0.02–1 μM. The quenching fluorescence behavior was found to obey the static quenching effect (SQE). The low toxicity and good cell permeability of CDs were verified by cell experiments.
