Due to the expansion of the energy storage market, the demand for lead-acid batteries is also increasing. In order to improve the discharge specific capacity of lead-acid batteries, this paper uses graphene oxide (GO), Pb(Ac) 2 ·3H 2 O, urea and other raw materials in the reactor. The PbCO 3 /N-rGO nanocomposite was prepared by a hydrothermal method as a positive electrode additive for lead-acid batteries. The material was characterized by XRD, STM , SEM, Raman, etc., and was doped into a simulated battery positive plate. The positive plate exhibits excellent electrochemical performance when the addition amount of the PbCO 3 /N-rGO nanocomposite in the positive plate is 1 wt%. In the simulated battery test, the initial discharge specific capacity reaches 166 mAh g −1 , which is 52% higher than that of the blank control group, and a 2-fold improvement in HPRSoC cycle life at 1 C rate. The PbCO 3 /N-rGO enabled the battery to have a higher discharge specific capacity and the longest charge/discharge cycle life, this is due to the nanostructure and good electrical conductivity of the PbCO 3 /N-rGO nanocomposite improving the utilization of the positive active material (PAM).

It is a grand challenge to develop non-noble metal-based oxygen reduction (ORR) catalysts with relatively high activity and stability for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Herein, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) precursors were grown in situ on graphene oxide (GO), and Co-N-RGO catalysts with good stability were successfully prepared. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation results show that Zn and Co are mixed and alternated to form a Zn-Co-ZIF structure instead of forming ZIF-8 or ZIF-67, separately. Such a combination promoted the uniform distribution of Co atoms in the N-doped carbon frameworks during subsequent heat treatment. By means of accurate adjustment of the molar ratio of Co/Zn species in the Zn-Co-ZIF precursors, the hierarchical porous structure connected with uniformly dispersed Co–Nx sites was established after thermal activation, and the utilization rate of active sites was improved. The RGO in catalysts, connecting each derivative carbon particle, formed a connected network and reduced the ohmic impedance of the catalyst layer. This strategy avoided the traditional tedious steps of additional acid-leaching and second heat treatments. What's more, the ORR performance of the Co-N-RGO samples was evaluated. The catalyst exhibited a positive half-wave potential (0.75 V vs. RHE), high limiting diffusion current density, and positive stability at 0.5 M H2SO4. Meanwhile, the H2/O2 fuel cell test result displayed a relatively high ORR activity with a peak power density of 334 mW cm−2.

The vigorous development of efficient cathode-side oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is one of the keys to the practical application of fuel cells and Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, a facile and green photochemical method is developed to synthesize pure-phase Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles , which are uniformly anchored on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO), followed by simple one-step annealing to highly catalytical active and stable MnO/N-rGO. The resultant MnO/N-rGO exhibits exciting ORR performance in alkaline media. Particularly, both GDE (gas diffusion electrode) half-cell and ZABs assembled from MnO/N-rGO have excellent overall performance and outstanding long-term durability, obviously better than Pt/C-based GDE half-cell and Pt/C + RuO 2 -based ZABs, respectively. It is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between MnO nanoparticles and N-rGO support, which significantly increases the active sites and facilitates 4-electron transfer. This research paves a way for the green photochemical synthesis of transition metal oxide ORR catalysts at room temperature.

The intrinsically low electrical conductivity of elemental iodine and its slow redox kinetics represent two significant obstacles that hinder the commercialization of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries. These challenges can be addressed by modulating the adsorption-desorption equilibrium of iodide ions in the active material. This study presented a synergistic strategy of “Electronic Modulation” and “Phase Transition Engineering” to optimize the catalytic adsorption-desorption dynamics. A dual-designed Fe ions doped VO 2- x heterostructure anchored on reduced graphene oxide (Fe-VO 2- x /rGO) is demonstrated to synchronously adjust iodine adsorption and boost redox kinetics. The Fe-induced electronic structure modulation elevated the d-band center of vanadium, creating catalytic sites to promote the desorption of iodide ions and facilitate their diffusion. Concurrently, the phase transition from VO 2- x to V 2 O 5- n within the heterostructure establishes a 3D conductive network, synergizing with rGO to ensure rapid ion/electron transport. This “adsorption-catalysis-transport” collaborative mechanism enabled the Fe-VO 2- x /rGO cathode to achieve an ultrahigh capacity retention of 81.48% after 60,000 cycles at 20 A g −1 , surpassing state-of-the-art zinc-iodine systems. The work provides a paradigm for manipulating interfacial dynamics through electronic and crystallographic dual regulation in conversion-type batteries.

A novel sunflower-like nanocomposite of SrCo2S4 nanoflakes and functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) entanglement enveloped in nitrogen-reduced graphene oxide (N-RGO) is prepared by a cheap process. The unique entanglement structure of the material
exhibits higher specific surface area, better electrical conductivity and other properties. This helps to reduce the transfer resistance in the photoelectric process of the battery and improve the electrochemical activity, thus increasing the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery.
The new ternary cobalt-based sulfide material can replace platinum as the counter electrode (CE) material loaded on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). DSSCs with SrCo2S4@f-MWCNTs@N-RGO (SCS@f-M@N-R) as CE material show excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE,
8.06%), even surpassing than that of Pt CE material (7.51%). The low cost, excellent electrocatalytic performance and simple preparation method of SCS@f-M@N-R nanomaterial provide feasibility for replacing platinum material as the CE material of DSSCs, which is of great significance and persuasion.

N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 dual-modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites were prepared by sol–gel method combined with high-temperature calcination at 625 °C. Electrochemical tests show that the initial discharge specific capacity of N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 -modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites is 149.27 mAh·g −1 at a current density of 0.05 C, and the discharge specific capacity can be maintained at approximately 101.89 mAh·g −1 after 100 cycles. This accounts for 68.26% of its initial discharge specific capacity. Rate performance tests showed that after cycling the current density back to 0.2 C, it was still able to recover to a discharge specific capacity close to 119 mAh·g −1 . At the same time, the interfacial properties of the N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 dual-modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites were studied, and it was found that the capacity attenuation was due to irreversible structural changes such as agglomerated block cracking and structural collapse during multiple cycles, as well as the gradual thickening of the SEI film with the increase in cycle times. This study aims to apply N-RGO/Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 dual-modified Na 2 Fe 0.6 Mn 0.4 PO 4 F composites to cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, providing a theoretical basis for the development of fluorinated poly-anion compounds.

Novel halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) have attracted much attention due to their environmental hazard and adverse effects on human health. In this study, a sensitive and simultaneous method for the determination of six novel HFRs was developed, including tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), tetrachlorobisphenolA, TBBPA bis(2-hydroxyethyl ether), TBBPA bis(allyl ether), TBBPA bis(2,3-dibromopropyl ether) and 2,4,6-tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine. ZIF-8 modified nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (ZIF-8@N-rGO) was synthesized and coated onto a syringe filter to prepare a thin film microextraction (TFME) device. The adsorption capacities of ZIF-8@N-rGO for novel HFRs ranged from 50.98 to 112.84 mg g −1 , exhibiting good extraction efficiency through a combination of π-π, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding interactions. The TFME device was coupled to a high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection system to simultaneously determine target HFRs in crayfish-aquaculture water systems. Under the optimal extraction parameters, the linearities ranged from 0.1 to 100 ng mL −1 . The method detection limits ranged from 0.030 to 0.14 ng mL −1 and relative recoveries ranged from 88.6 to 106.2%. We found that novel HFRs were detected in water and crayfish samples and were primarily distributed in the viscera and head shell of the crayfish. The bioconcentration factors ranged from 0.25 to 19.20 L kg −1 , indicating non-bioaccumulation in the crayfish. This study provides valuable technology and information for potential health risks of exposure to novel HFRs from consuming crayfish.

Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter for organisms and affects their function, so monitoring and detecting dopamine levels are essential. Sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical sensors for the detection of dopamine usually rely on hybrid nanocomposites. In this context, we designed a micro-regionally restricted hybrid nanocomposite by modulating the micro-nano structure. Using functional groups on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) to restrict the random growth of tungsten disulfide nanosheets, we obtained a 2D layered material with bidirectional structural support to achieve high specific surface and high activity for application in robust and novel dopamine electrochemical sensors. A facile electrochemical sensor for dopamine detection was fabricated by modifying a screen-printed carbon electrode with the nanocomposite. The sensor exhibits excellent performance of dopamine detection in the wide range of 1 μmol l−1–100 μmol l−1 with a detection limit of 0.2 μmol l−1 and a high sensitivity of 0.56 μA μmol−1 l−1. The optimized sensor shows a good selectivity, satisfactory long-term stability and reproducibility towards DA and a separation of peak potential of 142 mV with uric acid. In addition, the prepared sensor provides favorable recovery in human serum and artificial cerebrospinal solution (aSCF), indicating great potentials in electrochemical detection and biological sensing applications.

MOF-derived Fe-doped Ni 9 S 8 nanoparticles are uniformly anchored on N-rGO. • The synergistic effect at the heterointerface enhances electron transfer and active site exposure. • Fe 0.1 -Ni 9 S 8 /N-rGO achieves an overpotential of 255 mV at 50 mA cm −2 . • Fe doping shifts the d-band center down, weakening *O adsorption and lowering the RDS barrier. Developing effective, low-cost oxygen-evolution catalysts is essential for sustainable energy technologies. Here, we synthesized an N-doped reduced graphene oxide-supported, Fe-doped Ni 9 S 8 catalyst (Fe 0.1 -Ni 9 S 8 /N-rGO) by MOF-derived pyrolysis followed by sulfidation. To separate the effects of Fe-induced electronic modulation from N-rGO–assisted interfacial engineering, we prepared a series of control samples: Ni 9 S 8 , Ni 9 S 8 /N-rGO, Fe 0.1 -Ni 9 S 8 , and Fe 0.1 -Ni 9 S 8 /N-rGO. The optimized Fe 0.1 -Ni 9 S 8 /N-rGO exhibited efficient OER electrocatalysis, delivering 50 mA cm −2 at an overpotential of 255 mV with a Tafel slope of 54.58 mV dec −1 . Synergistic Fe doping and the Ni 9 S 8 /N-rGO heterojunction enhanced conductivity and increased active-site exposure, yielding higher activity. Electronic-structure analysis showed that Fe doping shifts the d-band center and tunes the interaction strength with key OER intermediates, which lowered the energy required for oxygen evolution. This work presents a logical strategy for designing high-performance, nonprecious-metal OER catalysts.

The charge carrier separation efficiency and the adsorption capacity of the photocatalyst usually affect the degradation rate of antibiotics. Herein, Cerium-doped leaf-like CdS (Ce-CdS) modified with ultrathin N-doped rGO (N-rGO) composites were successfully constructed (Ce-CdS/N-rGO) to investigate the removal efficiency of tetracycline (TC). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoelectrochemical results revealed that Ce ions doped in CdS acting as the electron capture sites facilitated the interfacial charge transfer. Theoretical calculation (DFT) results indicated that the interfacial effect between Ce-CdS and ultrathin N-rGO promoted the transfer of photogenerated electrons under the synergistic effect between the doping and interface modification strategy. The optimized Ce5-CdS/N-rGO20 composites had the maximum TC removal capability (94.5%) and maintained a stable cycling performance. In addition, the adsorption-driven photocatalytic degradation pathway of TC was studied through mass spectrometry (MS) and in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( in-situ FTIR). This study will provide an effective strategy for the construction of efficient photocatalytic composites for wastewater treatment.

Tin dioxide (SnO 2 ) have been considered to be a promising anode material for high performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high lithium storage capacity of as high as 1494 mAh g −1 , which has been impeded greatly due to its large volumetric expansion and low conductivity. Thus, the simple but effective approach for the fabrication of SnO 2 -based material is ever-urgent. To this end, the mesoporous SnO 2 @N-rGO nanocomposites were designed and fabricated by a simple and scalable electrostatic self-assembly method and investigated electrochemically as anode for LIBs. The results show that the as-obtained mesoporous SnO 2 @N-rGO nanocomposites exhibit an excellent cycling stability and outstanding rate capability after an initial activation due to the formation of SEI layer on the surface, which are mainly ascribed to the synergistic effect of nano-SnO 2 , high conductive N-doped rGO matrix network and rich mesopores. Therefore, this work offers an ingenious strategy to design and fabricate the SnO 2 -based anode material for high performance lithium-ion batteries.
