The development of low-cost and high-efficiency non-noble metal cocatalysts is one of the important factors in promoting the separation of photogenerated carriers. In this study, we report a stable and highly active MoC@NC/ZnIn2S4 heterostructure for photocatalytic H2 evolution under visible light. The optimized MoC@NC/ZnIn2S4 composite displays an excellent photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 45.4 μmol h−1, which was 8.3 times higher than that of ZnIn2S4. Its apparent quantum efficiency reached 51.5% at 420 nm. Moreover, the photocatalyst exhibits excellent stability and recycling capabilities. This remarkable activity can be ascribed to the modification of MoC@NC onto the ZnIn2S4 surface by forming an intimate contact interface, which can suppress the recombination of photogenerated carriers, consequently leading to superior photocatalytic H2 evolution performance. This study indicated that MoC@NC can act as an outstanding cocatalyst for promoting ZnIn2S4 photocatalytic performance.

In general, enrichment of a higher number of exoelectrogens implies higher power density. However, the low electrocatalytic activity of anodes limits the performance of microbial fuel cells. Here, based on this consideration, we designed and fabricated an anode by integrating the 3D hierarchical architecture and excellent electrocatalytic activity of MoO2/MoC@NC nanodendrites grown on carbon fiber cloth. The as-designed MoO2/MoC@NC-CC electrode exhibits a relatively large specific areal capacitance of 710.21 F m−2 and a charge transfer resistance of only 5.29 Ω, which are 46.9 times higher and 67.9 times lower than those of the bare carbon cloth (CC) anode respectively, providing abundant electroactive sites for the colonization of exoelectrogens and accelerating the rate of extracellular electron transfer. At the same time, there was a positive correlation between the enrichment amount of Geobacter and the power density, demonstrating the successful preparation of the desired electrode. In addition, the branched-lily-like architecture of the MoO2/MoC@NC-CC anode exhibits super hydrophilicity and open 3D structure, facilitating microbial attachment, colonization, proliferation and diffusion of the internal culture matrix, thus shortening the start-up time and improving the long-term stable current output. Consequently, the MoO2/MoC@NC-CC anode achieved the maximum power density of 2.93 W m−2, which is improved by 70.3% compared to that of the bare CC, and is also the best among the reported Mo-based nanomaterial modified electrodes. This work presents valuable insights for the design and fabrication of high performance anodes for MFCs.

Developing electrode materials with excellent electrocatalytic properties for detecting pesticide residues plays a vital role in the safety of agricultural products and environmental applications. Herein, we designed a new electrochemical sensor on the basis of N-doped carbon hollow nanospheres modified with Sn/MoC Schottky junction (Sn/MoC@NC) for methyl parathion (MP) detection. The Sn/MoC@NC was prepared by self-assembled polymerization-anchoring strategy and high-temperature carbonization design. Sn/MoC Schottky junction and hollow nanosphere structure endow Sn/MoC@NC with a larger surface area, more active sites, and faster electron transfer , which is beneficial to enhancing its electrocatalytic performance. The structural characterizations and physicochemical properties of Sn/MoC@NC were explored through various microscopy, spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The experimental results confirmed that the calibration curve for current and MP concentration (0.05–10 μg/mL) was available under optimized conditions, and the sensitivity and detection limit were respectively determined to be 9.02 μA μM 1 cm 2 and 8.9 ng/mL. Furthermore, the constructed sensor displayed excellent selectivity , repeatability, and stability, which qualified it for use in detecting MP in grapes and tap water with satisfactory recovery. This work may provide some interesting prospects for constructing high-performance electrocatalysts for MP detection.

Obtaining uniformly dispersed particles within a carbon skeleton using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a precursor is crucial for constructing multiple heterogeneous interfaces that enhance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. Herein, MOF-derived carbon nanotubes (CNTs) bridged cobalt/molybdenum carbide@N-doped carbon (Co/MoC@NC) composites with honeycomb-like porosity were synthesized using an ion-exchange strategy followed by pyrolysis. Theoretical calculations and experimental observations confirm the existence of a heterogeneous interface between MoC and Co. Enhanced Co doping accelerates charge transfer from Co to MoC, thereby increasing interfacial polarization. Furthermore, the CNTs catalytically generated by Co facilitate the formation of conductive pathways between the honeycomb-like porous structure of Co/MoC@NC. This enhances conductivity and optimizes impedance matching. Flexible control of the dielectric properties is achieved by adjusting the level of Co doping, which results in tunable microwave absorption (MA) properties. As a result, the minimum reflection loss ( RL min ) of Co/MoC@NC reaches −68.68 dB at a thickness of 1.83 mm, while the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 4.45 GHz at a thickness of 1.85 mm. This study presents a novel approach to utilizing honeycomb-like porous MOF-derived heterojunctions for the precise regulation of MA.

The scarcity, high cost and susceptibility to CO of Platinum severely restrict its application in alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). Hybridizing Pt with other transition metals provides an effective strategy to modulate its catalytic HOR performance, but at the cost of mass activity due to the coverage of modifiers on Pt surface. Herein, we constructed dual junctions’ Pt/nitrogen-doped carbon (Pt/NC) and δ-MoC/NC to modify electronic structure of Pt via interfacial electron transfer to acquire Pt-MoC@NC catalyst with electron-deficient Pt nanoparticles, simultaneously endowing it with high mass activity and durability of alkaline HOR. Moreover, the unique structure of Pt-MoC@NC endows Pt with a high CO-tolerance at 1,000 ppm CO/H 2 , a quality that commercial Pt-C catalyst lacks. The theoretical calculations not only confirm the diffusion of electrons from Pt/NC to MoC/NC could occur, but also demonstrate the negative shift of Pt d -band center for the optimized binding energies of *H, *OH and CO.
