The 2D nanomaterial has been widely used in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption because of its high specific surface area and special electrical properties. In this work, three 2D materials were integrated to form a unique ternary composite with Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as the substrate, RGO as the intercalator with additional components, and CoFe-LDH loaded on the MXene/RGO surface. The interfacial and dipole polarizations were notably enhanced due to the abundant formation of heterogeneous interfaces between the three 2D materials and their corresponding abundant functional groups and defects, and the space between the 2D lamellae enabled multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves. Compared with pure MXene, the MXene/RGO/CoFe-LDH composites exhibited excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance due to the synergy of multiple loss mechanisms, resulting in the best reflection loss value of −58.9 dB at 13.12 GHz.

Graphical ORR or OER : CoFe layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) nanosheets are deposited on nitrogen-doped graphite-carbon polyhedra with FeCo alloy nanoparticles to form a composite bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst. The FeCo/LDH-NGCP catalyst shows wonderful ORR and OER bifunctional electrocatalytic performance, which is superior to that of the precious metal based catalyst. Reasonably screening the targeted oxygen reduction reaction (ORR)/oxygen evolution reaction (OER) constituents and constructing high-efficiency and stabilized ORR/OER bifunctional electrocatalysts are pivotal for the advancement of rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Here, CoFe layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) nanosheets are deposited on nitrogen-doped graphite-carbon polyhedra with FeCo alloy nanoparticles (FeCo/LDH-NGCP). Due to the synergic effect between FeCo-NGCP, CoFe-LDH and FeCo/LDH-NGCP, the electrocatalyst with the abundant and accessible active sites can provide good charge/mass transfer, and thus shows wonderful ORR and OER bifunctional electrocatalytic performance. In ORR tests, FeCo/LDH-NGCP catalyst displays larger half-wave potential (E 1/2 , 0.89 V vs. 0.85 V), higher limiting current density (J L , 5.91 mA/cm 2 vs. 5.14 mA/cm 2 ) and better stability than commercial Pt/C. As for OER, FeCo/LDH-NGCP possesses a smaller overpotential (η) of 299.6 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 and more durable stability than commercial RuO 2 (330.6 mV). Furthermore, in ZAB tests, the cycling stability of ZAB-FeCo/LDH-NGCP (over 470 h) outperforms the ZAB-Pt/C+RuO 2 (92 h) with commercial electrocatalyst (Pt/C+RuO 2 ). Therefore, the FeCo/LDH-NGCP catalyst offers a new perspective to construct ZABs bifunctional catalysts and their commercial application in ZABs.

Effectively regulating and promoting the charge separation and transfer of photoanodes is a key and challenging aspect of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. Herein, a Ti-doped hematite photoanode with a CoFe-LDH cocatalyst loaded on the surface was prepared through a series of processes, including hydrothermal treatment, annealing and electrodeposition. The prepared CoFe-LDH/Ti:α-Fe2O3photoanode exhibited an outstanding photocurrent density of 3.06 mA/cm2at 1.23 VRHE, which is five times higher than that of α-Fe2O3alone. CoFe-LDH modification and Ti doping on hematite can boost the surface charge transfer efficiency, which is mainly attributed to the interface interaction between CoFe-LDH and Ti:α-Fe2O3. Furthermore, we investigated the role of Ti doping in enhancing the PEC performance of CoFe-LDH/Ti:α-Fe2O3. A series of characterizations and theoretical calculations revealed that, in addition to improving the electronic conductivity of the bulk material, Ti doping also further enhances the interface coupling of CoFe-LDH/α-Fe2O3and finely regulates the interfacial electronic structure. These changes promote the rapid extraction of holes from hematite and facilitate charge separation and transfer. The informative findings presented in this work provide valuable insights for the design and construction of hematite photoanodes, offering guidance for achieving excellent performance in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation.

Constructing three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical heterostructures is an appealing but challenging strategy to improve the performance of catalysts for electrical energy devices. Here, an efficient and robust flexible self-supporting catalyst, interface coupling of ultrathin CoFe-LDH nanosheets and Co3O4 nanowire arrays on the carbon cloth (CC/Co3O4@CoFe-LDH), was proposed for boosting oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in rechargeable liquid/solid Zn–air batteries (ZABs). The strong interfacial interaction between the CoFe-LDH and Co3O4 heterostructures stimulated the charge redistribution in their coupling regions, which improved the electron conductivity and optimized the adsorption free energy of OER intermediates, ultimately boosting the intrinsic OER performance. Besides, the 3D hierarchical nanoarray structure facilitated the exposure of catalytically active centers and rapid electron/mass transfer during the OER process. As such, the CC/Co3O4@CoFe-LDH catalyst achieved excellent OER catalytic activity in alkaline medium, with a small overpotential of 237 mV at 10 mA cm–2, a low Tafel slope of 35.43 mV dec–1, and long-term durability of up to 48 h, significantly outperforming the commercial RuO2 catalyst. More impressively, the liquid and flexible solid-state ZABs assembled by the CC/Co3O4@CoFe-LDH hybrid catalyst as the OER catalyst presented a stable open circuit voltage, large power density, superb cycling life, and satisfactory flexibility, indicating great potential applications in energy technology. This work provides a good guidance for the development of advanced electrocatalysts with heterostructures and an in-depth understanding of electronic modulation at the heterogeneous interface.

Fenton or Fenton-like reactions have been widely used in various fields, including solar energy conversion to generate hydroxyl radicals, environmental remediation, biology, and life science. However, the slow Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycle and narrow applicable pH range still present significant challenges. Here, a heterostructured CoFe-layered double hydroxide/MoS 2 nanocomposite (CoFe-LDH/MoS 2 ) was prepared via simple electrostatic interactions. The heterostructure establishes a robust interfacial contact, leading to an abundance of exposed Mo 6+ sites. Consequently, the developed CoFe-LDH/MoS 2 +H 2 O 2 system exhibited superior performance in the degradation of tetracycline (>85%) within 60 min across a wide pH range from acidic to basic. Moreover, the CoFe-LDH/MoS 2 heterojunction catalysts exhibited exceptional resistance to common anions and efficiently degraded various organic pollutants. The mechanism study verified that the CoFe-LDH/MoS 2 had high efficiency in producing 1 O 2 and ‧OH to degrade various organic pollutants. The present study will serve as a foundation for creating efficient catalyst systems for related environmental remediation.

The advancement of alkaline water electrolysis relies on creating efficient, durable, and affordable electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, we reported a heterostructured CoFe/a-NiFe LDH catalyst that integrates amorphous NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) with crystalline CoFe LDH through interface engineering. The CoFe/a-NiFe LDH catalyst achieved superior activity with an overpotential of 265 mV at 100 mA·cm −2 , which outperformed the commercial RuO 2 . It also demonstrated rapid kinetics with a Tafel slope of 38.8 mV·dec −1 . The synergistic coupling between the crystalline domains and amorphous regions minimized charge transfer resistance while maximizing electrochemically accessible sites. Remarkably, the catalyst showed outstanding durability, operating consistently for 220 h at demanding current densities of 100 mA·cm −2 . This work established amorphous-crystalline interface engineering as a powerful strategy for designing high-performance water oxidation electrocatalysts.

Exploring high-efficient, earth-abundant and stable electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of vital importance for large-scale implementation of energy converting and storing. Thus, we fabricated a free-standing hierarchical heterostructure electrode of Ni 0.85 Se@CoFe LDH/NF via a rational combination of hydrothermal, selenization and electrodeposition process, among which the ultrathin CoFe LDH nanosheets intimately assembled onto the vertical aligned Ni 0.85 Se nanosheets supported on Ni foam. The constructed core-shell nanosheet arrays hold the plentiful hetero-interfaces and intimate interactions through metal-oxygen bonds between two individuals, which guarantee the fast OER kinetic processes. Additionally, CoFe LDH with crystalline/amorphous hybrid structure favors providing more reaction sites. Remarkably, the optimal Ni 0.85 Se@CoFe LDH/NF binary composites possess outstanding OER activity with a low overpotential of ∼223 and 280 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and 100 mA cm −2 in alkaline solution as well as good durability. This research offers an alternative approach for improving electrocatalytic water splitting through constructing 3D hierarchical heterostructures.

In the process of sterilization and disinfection, chemical reagents will react with natural organic matter and inorganic matter in water, and inevitably generate disinfection byproducts. These harmful substances are carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic, and their content is low and difficult to detect. Therefore, in this study, we prepare Fe/CoFe-LDH electrodes by in-situ co-precipitation method, and their special structures and morphologies are used to achieve efficient removal of disinfection byproducts. On this basis, the prediction model of trichloroacetamide removal rate is constructed by using the backpropagation neural network, and the prediction model is used to predict the trichloroacetamide removal rate under different experimental parameters and the experiment is verified. The optimal process conditions are obtained, and the maximum trichloroacetamide removal rate is up to 81.62%. The feasibility of the data analysis and processing method based on machine learning in the prediction of disinfection by-products in drinking water is effectively proved.

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has emerged as a promising electrocatalyst; however, the synthetic method usually requires high temperature and high pressure, and sulfate-intercalated LDH is rarely reported. Herein, the sulfate-intercalated CoFe LDH nanosheets were successfully fabricated at ambient temperature via a facile strategy, using two-dimensional ZIF-9(III) as a template and FeSO4as both etchant and iron source. When the as-prepared sulfate-intercalated CoFe LDH acts as an electrocatalyst, it presents superior electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), requiring low overpotential (η@10 mA cm−2= 218 mV) with a small Tafel slope of 59.9 mV dec−1in 1.0 M KOH, which compares favorably with commercial RuO2and most reported transition-metal electrocatalysts. The high catalytic activity of CoFe LDH might be ascribed to the large interlayer space distance originating from special SO42−ions and the strong synergistic effects between Fe and Co. This work provides a novel and feasible approach to designing highly efficient electrocatalysts based on advanced LDH materials for OER.Keywords:facile synthesis;sulfate-intercalated CoFe LDH;two-dimensional ZIF-9(III);electrocatalysts;oxygen evolution reaction

Near-infrared (NIR) laser countermeasures firing systems and electromagnetic wave shielding are extremely important in military warfare. Herein, a series of biomass-derived carbon flexible textiles with NIR photothermal conversion and microwave absorption capabilities were created by pyrolysis at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 °C. A hydrothermal approach was employed to create 2D CoFe-layered double hydroxides (CoFe-LDH), whose positively charged characteristics were securely attached to the hydroxide clusters on the surface of cotton fibers via electrostatic interaction . Subsequently, the adjustable layer spacing of LDH provides ideal in situ growth sites for metal ions and organic ligands of Co MOF . CoFe-LDH@Co MOF@PDMS cotton-derived carbon textiles (CoFe@PCCF) were successfully made using high-temperature pyrolysis, annealed carbonization , and polydimethylsiloxane curing. The intrinsic light absorption of the interwoven and entangled carbon fibers, combined with the plasmonic resonance of its surface metal particles, promotes photothermal conversion of the material, reduces density, and increases absorption during multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves. Furthermore, its qualities can be optimized and modified by modifying parameters like as carbonization temperature and thickness. As a result, CoFe@PCCF-900 shows the minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −23.03 dB at 1.6 mm thickness and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.53 GHz. The surface temperature of CoFe@PCCF-1000 reaches 74.5 ℃ after 3 seconds of NIR (980 nm, 200 mW) light, indicating quick and stable photothermal conversion. This work provides an opportunity for laser shooting and electromagnetic attenuation low-cost materials.

Assembling a heterostructure is an effective strategy for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of hybrid materials. Herein, CoFe-layered double hydroxide and Co-metal–organic framework (CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF) hollow heterostructure nanorod arrays are synthesized. First, [Co(DIPL)(H3BTC)(H2O)2]n [named as Co-MOF, DIPL = 2,6-di(pyrid-4-yl)-4-phenylpyridine, H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid] crystalline materials with a uniform hollow structure were prepared on the nickel foam. The CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF composite perfectly inherits the original hollow nanorod array morphology after the subsequent electrodeposition process. Optimized CoFe-LDH/Co-MOF hollow heterostructure nanorod arrays display excellent performance in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with ultralow overpotentials of 215 mV to deliver current densities of 10 mA cm–2 and maintain the electrocatalytic activity for a duration as long as 220 h, ranking it one of the non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for OER. Density functional theory calculations validate the reduction in free energy for the rate-determining step by the synergistic effect of Co-MOF and CoFe-LDH, with the increased charge density and noticeable electron transfer at the Co–O site, which highlights the capability of Co-MOF to finely adjust the electronic structure and facilitate the creation of active sites. This work establishes an experimental and theoretical basis for promoting efficient water splitting through the design of heterostructures in catalysts.

The rational design of efficient photoanodes is essential for advancing solar-driven water oxidation. This study addresses the intrinsic challenges of bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ), such as sluggish charge kinetics and severe surface recombination, through the construction of a ternary composite photoanode via synergistic interfacial modification and cocatalyst integration. A hierarchical architecture was fabricated through sequential low-temperature chemical bath deposition and electrodeposition, integrating a CoFe-layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) interlayer and nickel-hydroxynitrate (Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 ) onto BiVO 4 substrates. The optimized BiVO 4 /CoFe-LDH@Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 photoanode achieves a photocurrent density of 5.57 mA/cm 2 at 1.23 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (V RHE ) under Air Mass 1.5 Global (AM 1.5G) illumination, accompanied by a 251 mV cathodic shift in onset potential. Comprehensive characterizations-including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), open-circuit photovoltage (OCP) decay, time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) decay, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM)-reveal that the oxygen vacancy (O v )-rich CoFe-LDH@Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 layer facilitates efficient charge transfer within BiVO 4 and generates a pronounced built-in electric field, thereby significantly enhancing interfacial charge separation. Concurrently, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the interfacial effect of CoFe-LDH@Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2 substantially lowers the thermodynamic barrier for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). This study offers fundamental insights for fabricating high-efficiency BiVO 4 -based photoanodes.
