A general ionic-assisted microwave-ultrasonic combined synthetic strategy was developed to fabricate Bi 2 E 3 (E = S, Se, and Te) hierarchitectures. To understand the crystal phase transformation and morphological evolution of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchical nanostructures, the fabrication of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was investigated by varying sulfidation time and chlorination time. A topotactic transformation from BiOCl microsphere to Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was proposed. It was found that the structure, size, and morphology of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures could be delicately engineered by varying chlorination time, alkyl chain length, and concentration of ionic liquid. Moreover, the as-prepared Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures displayed superior capacity of Cr(VI) photoreduction to P25 and irregular Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures under visible light irradiation. Effects of morphology, pH value of reaction system, Cr(VI) concentration, and catalyst dosage on the Cr(VI) photoreduction capacity of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures were also discussed. The enhancement of photoreduction capacity is not only attributed to the intrinsic good electron transfer ability of Bi 2 S 3 , but also to synergetic effects of special architectures, wide photoresponse range, high light photoadsorption, high BET surface area and good electron-hole separation performance. The systematic condition experiments and Cr(VI) photoreduction in electroplating and tannery wastewater experiments further demonstrated that the hierarchical Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres can be used in the actual Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatment.

NiCo 2 O 4 /NiMoO 4 hierarchical composite structure is used for high-performance supercapacitors electrode materials. The electrode material is grown directly on the conductive carbon cloth, which effectively reduces the contact resistance between the collector and the active material, and provides a favorable skeleton structure for NiCo 2 O 4 /NiMoO 4 . In this work, NiCo 2 O 4 /NiMoO 4 electrodes were prepared under optimal conditions of primary hydrothermal time of 12 h, annealing temperature of 350 °C, and secondary hydrothermal time of 8 h. The optimized hierarchical NiCo 2 O 4 /NiMoO 4 electrode exhibits a high areal capacitance of 3.85 F·cm −2 (at a current density of 4 mA·cm −2 ) and better cycle stability than the NiCo 2 O 4 and NiMoO 4 electrode, respectively. The constructed asymmetric supercapacitor NiCo 2 O 4 /NiMoO 4 //AC has a satisfactory energy density of 38.69 Wh·kg −1 at 228.56 W·kg −1 power density. At the current density of 4 mA·cm −2 , ASC devices still have a capacity retention rate of 90.88% after 5000 cycles, indicating their potential application in energy storage devices.

Biphasic self-stratified batteries (BSBs) provide a new direction in battery philosophy for large-scale energy storage, which successfully reduces the cost and simplifies the architecture of redox flow batteries. However, current aqueous BSBs have intrinsic limits on the selection range of electrode materials and energy density due to the narrow electrochemical window of water. Thus, herein, we develop nonaqueous BSBs based on Li-S chemistry, which deliver an almost quadruple increase in energy density of 88.5 Wh L −1 as compared with the existing aqueous BSBs systems. In situ spectral characterization and molecular dynamics simulations jointly elucidate that while ensuring the mass transfer of Li + , the positive redox species are strictly confined to the bottom-phase electrolyte. This proof-of-concept of Li-S BSBs pushes the energy densities of BSBs and provides an idea to realize massive-scale energy storage with large capacitance.

A single two-dimensional material often struggles to satisfy all the performance requirements of electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries. However, constructing a hierarchical heterogeneous two-dimensional stacking structure can effectively combine the advantages of multiple materials and make up for the insufficiency of a single element. This work applied a pre-intercalation–sulphuration concept and liquid-phase coating modification by constructing a hierarchical nano-flake/micro-lamellar complex structure. In this composite material, MoS2 nanosheets and V2C MXene layers overlap and interact to prevent nanoparticle agglomeration and micron flakes collapse simultaneously. The MoS2/MXene hierarchical structure is sandwiched between ultrathin and dense carbon layers to form a multifaceted conductive skeleton and a twofold protection mechanism. The coating reduces the electrolyte contact area and prevents the escape of polysulfide byproducts. Accordingly, the designed MSVC@C demonstrates superior Na+ storage capacities (612.4 mA h g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 after 600 cycles) and outstanding rate performance (304.42 mA h g−1 at 10 A g−1). Experimental results and theoretical calculations verify that the MoS2 and V2C heterostructure promotes the electrochemical performance owing to the better electronic conductivity and lower ion diffusion energy barrier. Moreover, this structure optimization strategy applies to various MXene guests (e.g., V2C and Nb2C) to prepare a variety of hierarchical nano–micro structures that are expected to be promising two-dimensional electrode materials for SIBs with application prospects in the future.

Due to the variety of oily wastewater and complexity of separation system, it has put forward new challenge and requirement to separation materials for on-demand separation of various oil/water mixtures. Here, we reported a facile waste-to-resource strategy to rationally fabricate hierarchical ZnO nanopillars coating onto the surface of waste brick grains (ZnO/WBG) via simple physical process and in-situ growth technique. Specifically, the directly as-prepared ZnO/WBG possess superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic (UWSOB) properties and modified ZnO/WBG by organosilicon reagent possess quasi superhydrophobic/superoleophilic (SHOBI) properties. It is also worth noting that this discrete ZnO/WBG with opposite wettability can be accumulated into ZnO/WBG layer with numerous tortuous channel structure, making it feasible for on-demand separating various oil/water mixtures whether immiscible light- and heavy-oil/water mixtures or oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. It has been demonstrated that the filter layers with opposite wettability exhibit high separation efficiency and flux, excellent chemical stability and admirable recyclability . Thus, this novel and cost-effective ZnO/WBG layer holds great promise for large-scale and versatile oil/water separation. Additionally, this work presents a sustainable perspective of effectively utilizing waste brick to construct workable functionalized materials with tremendous application potential, showing far-reaching value and significance in fundamental research and environmental protection.

Oxygen vacancy manipulation and hierarchical morphology construction in oxygen-containing semiconductors have been demonstrated to be effective strategies for developing high efficiency photocatalysts. In most studies of bismuth-based photocatalysts, hierarchical morphology and crystal defects are achieved separately, so the catalysts are not able to benefit from both features. Herein, using boiling ethylene glycol as the treatment solution, we developed an etching-recrystallization method for the fabrication of 3D hierarchical defective BiOCl at ambient pressure. The target hierarchical 3D-BiOCl is composed of self-assembled BiOCl nanosheets, which exhibit a hexagonal prism-like morphology on a micron scale, while simultaneously containing numerous oxygen vacancies within the crystal structure. Consequently, the target catalyst was endowed with a higher specific surface area, greater light harvesting capability, as well as more efficient separation and transfer of photo-excited charges than pristine BiOCl. As a result, 3D-BiOCl presented an impressive photocatalytic activity for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride in both visible light and natural white light emitting diode (LED) irradiation. Moreover, an extraordinary recycling property was demonstrated for the target photocatalyst thanks to its hierarchical structure. This study outlines a simple and energy-efficient approach for producing high-performance hierarchically defective BiOCl, which may also open up new possibilities for the morphological and crystal structural defect regulation of other Bi-based photocatalysts.Keywords:BiOCl;photocatalytic;lattice defects;hierarchical structure;degradation;ambient pressure

We present here a facile one-pot surfactant-free solvothermal route to synthesize hierarchical BiOI microspheres assembled from nanosheets at 120 °C for 16 h. The as-synthesized BiOI microspheres could be topochemically converted into hollow hierarchical Bi 2 WO 6 ones built by nanoplates for the first time under hydrothermal condition because of the analogies of crystal structures. The transformation process of hierarchical BiOI microspheres to hollow Bi 2 WO 6 ones was surveyed through XRD analyses and FE-SEM observations of the intermediates at different reaction stages. Rhodamine B (RhB) was selected as pollutant model and visible-light-driven photocatalytic activities of hierarchical BiOI and Bi 2 WO 6 microspheres under the same measurement conditions were comparatively studied. As a result, the photocatalytic activities of BiOI obviously outshone Bi 2 WO 6 . The present study not only develops a new method for fabricating hierarchical architectures but also provides some useful information on relative visible-light-responding photocatalytic activity of hierarchical BiOI and Bi 2 WO 6 microspheres.

In this work, a nitrogen-doped lignin-derived hierarchical porous carbon material (LDMCN-700–2) was synthesized by a facile and green strategy using alkali lignin as carbon source, melamine as nitrogen source, and KCl as salt template. The as-prepared LDMCN-700–2 possessed unique structural properties such as a large surface area of 1012.5 m 2 ·g −1 , high nitrogen content of 4.5 at%, and hierarchical porous structure with micropores, mesopores and macropores, which endow it with superior electrochemical performance . The electrochemical measurements demonstrated that LDMCN-700 as an electrode material exhibited a high specific capacitance of 245 F·g −1 at 0.5 A·g −1 , as well as excellent cycling stability with 95.7 % capacitance retention after 5000th cyclic voltammetry cycles, indicating its great potential for supercapacitors .

Hierarchical structure design and heterostructure engineering are effective strategies for enhancing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance, yet their synergistic integration remains underexplored. In this work, a novel hierarchical P-NiMoO 4 @Net-like Ni 2 P heterostructure HER electrocatalyst was prepared via a two-step hydrothermal method followed by low-temperature phosphorization. The three-dimensional net like Ni 2 P was closely integrated with one-dimensional phosphorus-doped NiMoO 4 micro/nanorod arrays, enabling hierarchical structural assembly and the formation of synergistic heterointerfaces. The hierarchical structure significantly increased active site exposure, with a double-layer capacitance of 254.4 mF cm −2 , more than five times that of single-component Ni 2 P (48.4 mF cm −2 ). Density functional theory calculations revealed that the heterostructure lowered the d-band center of active Ni 3 sites and optimized the hydrogen adsorption energy, thereby enhancing HER activity. The P-NiMoO 4 @Net-like Ni 2 P catalyst exhibited an alkaline HER overpotential of 49 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . It also maintained stable operation for 100 h at 10mA cm −2 and 120 h at 100mA cm −2 . This study demonstrates the potential of integrating hierarchical and heterostructural strategies, providing a reference for advanced nanostructured catalyst development.

Cooking with active oxygen and solid alkali (CAOSA) is an efficient pretreatment method for biomass. For better grading of the lignin yellow liquor, the different lignin fractions and the recovered solid alkali were obtained using a simultaneous acid-alkali graded separation method. The results indicated that the recovery rate of solid alkali was 67.25 %, and the grading of lignin components was characterized by smaller dispersion coefficients, and more stable properties and structure. Lignin fractions with low dispersion coefficients possess more key structures, including the Phenol hydroxyl group (ArOH), Methoxy (OMe), and β-aryl ether (β-O-4), and have better thermal properties. The low molecular weight L4 has the highest ArOH content (2.1 mmol/g), which provides better antioxidant properties. The CAOSA process destroyed the S-unit and prevented lignin from condensation. Furthermore, the CAOSA process protected carbohydrates, which could effectively prevent them from dehydrating and re-polymerizing into pseudo-lignin. This allowed the pulp to remain natural, which was beneficial for subsequent transformation and utilization. Overall, the efficient separation of biomass components and lignin grading method proposed by combining the CAOSA process with the acid-alkali grading separation method has a strong application prospect and provides a theoretical basis for the high-value utilization of biomass and lignin.

Processing lignin into nanoparticles (LNPs) offers a promising utilization strategy; however, its structural and molecular weight heterogeneity poses challenges in the formation of uniform LNPs. In this study, industrial kraft lignin was fractionated in stepwise molecular weight (Mw) from low to high and from which LNPs were fabricated via antisolvent precipitation. The results showed that lignin with high Mw benefits the formation of uniform and smaller-sized LNPs. Particularly, the lignin fraction with Mw of 2016 g·mol–1 fails to form LNPs. The main mechanism is that the higher content of hydrophilic groups (mainly phenolic hydroxyl groups) on the lower molecular weight lignin hinders the formation of LNPs. This hypothesis is supported by the successful formation of homogeneous LNPs after low molecular weight lignin acetylation. Fractionation effectively reduces lignin heterogeneity and promotes the formation of LNPs, which would favor the chemical reactivity and properties, enhancing the utilization of industrial lignin.

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is a toxic and flammable substance that its effective real-time detection has great significance for ensuring safety. Currently, the detection of low concentration H 2 S remains a challenge. In this paper, the 3D monoclinic-tetragonal mixed phase Mo/Bi- x with hierarchical structure has been successfully prepared by a simple one-step solid-phase method for low concentration H 2 S detection. The effect of Mo doping on its morphology, structure, composition and gas sensitivity of BiVO 4 has been investigated. XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, UV–vis and XPS techniques are employed to explore the potential sensing mechanism. The results show that the addition of Mo leads to a gradual transformation of BiVO 4 from a class cube structure to a strip structure, accompanied by partial conversion of the monoclinic phase to the tetragonal phase. For the typical sample (Mo/Bi-0.1), it exhibits extremely high response ( R g / R a ) of 43.5–10 ppm H 2 S at 200 °C, high selectivity ( Q H 2 S / methanol = 7.15 ), rapid response and recovery time of 11/15 s and relatively low theoretical detection limit (20.5 ppb). This can be attributed to the presence of unique long plate structures, abundant oxygen vacancies, chemisorbed oxygen and a monoclinic-tetragonal phase heterojunction. This research provides a potential strategy for the design of other H 2 S sensitive materials.
