Building composite structures of hollow metal sulfides and carbon material is considered an effective strategy for improving the performance of sodium storage. However, most of these composite structures are implemented using complex hard-templating and multiple-step methods. Moreover, the mechanism for enhancing the electrochemistry of carbon materials in hollow structures is not clear. In this work, a carbon-supported hollow tungsten disulfide (WS2) cuboid composite structure (marked H-WS2) was synthesized in one step by a self-templating method. On the one hand, the hollow composite structure can alleviate the volume changes during the charging and discharging processes, showing good structural stability. On the other hand, the pyrolytic carbon and nanosheet structure can effectively promote the transport of electrons/ions, exhibiting fast reaction kinetics. The H-WS2 electrode showed improved electrochemical performance for sodium storage. A high reversible capacity was achieved, 353.2 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at 200 mA g−1. At a high current density of 5.0 A g−1, the reversible capacity of 236.7 mA h g−1 was still achieved. This work provides new insight into the synthesis of hollow metal sulfides and carbon composite structures.

Inorganic ion-exchange materials show potential application for toxic radioactive ions due to their remarkable high efficiency and selectivity features. Here, two type of carbon-supported titanate (C@TNFs and C@TNFs(H)) nanofibers have been synthesized by a cost-effective in suit growth method. The resulting C@TNFs and C@TNFs(H) microspheres present uniform flower-like morphology and large surface area. The interlayer Na + in the titanate shell provides docking sites for ion-exchange of radioactive ions (U(VI), Ba(II), and Sr(II)). Interestingly, the exceeding theoretical cation-exchange capacities (CECs) are achieved on C@TNFs for U(VI) ∼4.76 meq g −1 and Ba(II) ∼2.65 meq g −1 and C@TNFs(H) for Ba(II) ∼2.53 meq g −1 and Sr(II) ∼2.24 meq g −1 , respectively. The impressive adsorption performance is mainly attributed to the synergistic effects of ion-exchange and surface complexation. More significantly, C@TNFs and C@TNFs(H) maintain high distribution coefficients ( K
d
U ) of >104 mL g −1 over a wider pH range (pH = 3.5–9.0) and high adsorption rate with short equilibrium time within 50 min. Competitive ion-exchange investigation shows a selectivity order of U(VI) > Ba(II) > Sr(II) at individual 10 ppm concentration, pH = 6.0 and T = 298 K. The related spectroscopic studies reveal the intercalative mechanism of radionuclides in the deformed titanate structure, as a result of target ions firmly trapped in the interlayer of C@TNFs and C@TNFs(H). These advantageous features allow the C@TNFs and C@TNFs(H) to be promising candidates for the remediation of toxic radioactive ions polluted water.

Noble metal nanoparticles with hollow interiors and customizable shell compositions have immense potential for catalysis. Herein, we present a universal and cost-effective approach for the fabrication of carbon-supported Pt-containing noble metal nanoparticles with hollow interiors. This strategy starts with the synthesis of Pt-containing core–shell Ag–noble metal nanoparticles, which are then loaded on the carbon supports and refluxed in acetic acid to remove the original organic surfactant. The carbon-supported Pt-containing core–shell Ag–noble metal nanoparticles are subsequently agitated in saturated Na2S or NaCl solution to eliminate Ag from the core region, leading to the formation of Pt-containing noble metal nanoparticles with hollow interiors. In particular, the Pt-containing core–shell Ag–noble metal nanoparticles hollowed by NaCl on carbon support exhibit enhanced catalytic activity, whereas the hollowing by Na2S is a serious detriment to the catalytic activity of the resulting carbon-supported hollow nanoparticles for methanol oxidation.

In this paper, carbon supported Bi 2 O 3 -BiOCl-Bi heterostructures were successfully synthesized via a facile and simple hydrothermal method. A series of structure and morphology testing clearly showed that carbon and metallic Bi were deposited on the surface margin of Bi 2 O 3 -BiOCl, which benefited the rapid transfer of internal photogenerated electrons. Photophysical experiments including electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the amount of surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) was significantly increased, which act as reactive active sites and therefore effectively enhance the photocatalytic performance. The photocatalytic N 2 reduction yield of C@Bi 2 O 3 -BiOCl-Bi was remarkably improved to 400 μg·L −1 , which was 3.63 times higher than that of BiOCl. This research demonstrated a feasible strategy to construct advanced photocatalyst by incorporating defect-rich structures and surface engineering.

In this study, Ni-metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were used as precursors to obtain carbon-supported nickel composites (Ni@C) after calcination. The hydrodeoxygenation properties of the model compound and corncob lignin were investigated without an external hydrogenation source and initial pressure. Additionally, the effect of Ni@C on degradation of model compounds, corncob lignin, and benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) under different conditions was examined. The results showed that with isopropanol as the in situ hydrogen source, the conversion percentage of BPE was 90.2% and the yield of phenol was 88.3 wt % at 150 °C. The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), NH3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetry (TG), and the lignin and bio-oil were characterized by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (2D-HSQC). It was found that the Ni@C catalyst with well dispersion, high support rate, and rich acid sites was successfully synthesized. In the process of degradation, the C–O ether bond in the structure of lignin was successfully broken to generate the phenolic monomer, and the high-efficiency hydrodeoxygenation of lignin was realized under mild conditions.
