Electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen is crucial for developing sustainable clean energy and protecting the environment. However, because of the multi-electron transfer in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process, the kinetics of the reaction is seriously hindered. To address this issue, we designed and synthesized hollow CoP/FeP4heterostructural nanorods interwoven by carbon nanotubes (CoP/FeP4@CNT) via a hydrothermal reaction and a phosphorization process. The CoP/FeP4@CNT hybrid catalyst delivers prominent OER electrochemical performances: it displays a substantially smaller Tafel slope of 48.0 mV dec−1and a lower overpotential of 301 mV at 10 mA cm−2, compared with an RuO2commercial catalyst; it also shows good stability over 20 h. The outstanding OER property is mainly attributed to the synergistic coupling between its unique CNT-interwoven hollow nanorod structure and the CoP/FeP4heterojunction, which can not only guarantee high conductivity and rich active sites, but also greatly facilitate the electron transfer, ion diffusion, and O2gas release and significantly enhance its electrocatalytic activity. This work offers a facile method to develop transition metal-based phosphide heterostructure electrocatalysts with a unique hierarchical nanostructure for high performance water oxidation.Keywords:CoP-FeP4heterojunction;hollow nanorods;oxygen evolution reaction

Exploring noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a key issue in a hydrogen economy blueprint. As one of the promising candidates, transition metal phosphides unfortunately suffer from inevitable surface oxidation which obstructs active-site exposure. Herein, a facile reduction followed by a surface phosphorization is introduced to convert surface-oxidized cobalt phosphides to a Co2(P2O7)-CoP heterostructure embedded in N-doped carbon (Co2(P2O7)-CoP/NC), accomplishing an efficient HER in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. It affords low overpotentials (η10) of 88 and 97 mV to reach a current density of −10 mA cm−2, and small Tafel slopes of 51 and 61 mV dec−1 in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH, respectively, outperforming the parent surface-oxidized Co2P and most previously-reported Pt-free electrocatalysts. The remarkably improved electrocatalysis should be ascribed to the strong surface acidity of the Co2(P2O7) component and thereby the promoted HER kinetics on Co2(P2O7)-CoP interfaces. This work will encourage the development of cost-efficient electrocatalysts via surface engineering.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can be described as ultrasonic (US) catalysis. Adequate charge separation is considered as effective means to promote reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, hollow CoP@N–carbon@PEG (CPCs@PEG) nanospheres (∼60 nm) are prepared as sonosensitizers, showing greater ROS generation than pure CoP@PEG under US irradiation. Both 1O2 and ·O2– are activation species that are determined by O2 and electrons. The great SDT performance of CPCs@PEG is ascribed to the heterostructure which promotes the separation and transfer for US-generated electrons and holes. In addition, holes can be further captured by endogenous glucose that is in favor of electron aggregation and ROS generation. Moreover, the consumption of glucose would decrease intracellular ATP for starvation therapy. Given the higher oxidation ability of Co3+, CPCs@PEG nanospheres possess catalase (CAT) activity to convert H2O2 into O2 for assisting ROS generation. Moreover, they also can oxidize glutathione (GSH) as a mimic GSH oxidase to break intratumor redox balance, facilitating oxidative stress. More importantly, the nanocomposites reveal good degradation ability dominated by the oxidation from insoluble phosphide into soluble phosphate, accelerating elimination via urine and feces within 14 days. CPCs@PEG nanospheres integrate the above effects not only to reveal great tumor inhibition ability but also to excite immune activation for anticancer.

Herein, nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) encapsulated CoP hollow spheres are designed and prepared through a sodium L-aspartate assisted carbonization-oxidation-phosphorization route. Experimental and theoretical analysis unveil that the encapsulating of NC results in improved electric conductivity and enhanced electrolyte wettability. Particularly, an interfacial charge redistribution induces the establishment of local electric field at the CoP/NC interface, which leads to a decrease in surface OH – adsorption energies, an enhancement in charge transfer efficiency between OH – and active materials, and a reduction in OH – diffusion energy barriers. Thus, the CoP@NC electrode materials demonstrate enhanced capacity values (998C g −1 at 2 A g −1 and 640C g −1 at 20 A g −1 ) and cyclic stability (a capacity retention of 92.7 % after 5000 cycles). Moreover, three-dimensional macroporous N-doped carbon foams (MNCFs) are prepared through a facile and eco-friendly strategy using sodium L-aspartate as N-containing carbon source. Such MNCFs possess large surface area, enhanced electrical conductivity, and high-efficiency mass and ion transport, thus achieving specific capacitances of up to 426F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 325F g −1 at 10 A g −1 . Furthermore, the fabricated CoP@NC||MNCFs hybrid supercapacitor device delivers an energy density of up to 75.1 Wh kg −1 at 800 W kg −1 , and demonstrates a capacity retention of 93.8 % after 5000 cycles. Our work not only provides valuable insights but also opens new avenues for designing and constructing advanced electrode materials for high-efficiency energy storage applications.

Hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) are important chemical raw materials in the modern industry, unfortunately, which are also high toxic phenolic pollutants. So how to achieve highly sensitive and selective determination HQ and CC is the challenge we face. In the present work, we report a facile strategy to obtain nitrogen and phosphorous co-doped glucose-derived carbon coated CoP nanowires (G-CoP/N,P–C NWs), in which nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was as the chelating reagent, glucose was as carbon source, and the precursors were subsequently experienced carbonization and phosphorization process. G-CoP/N,P–C NWs can shorten the distance of the electron transport and expand the reaction area, showing the intriguing electronic conductivity and electrocatalytic abilities. An electrochemical phenolic sensor based on G-CoP/N,P–C NWs is fabricated. The as-prepared sensor showcases the good sensing performance for HQ and CC with comparative linearity ranges of 0.8–900 μM (HQ) and 0.6–800 μM (CC), low limits of detections (LODs) of 0.18 μM (S/N = 3) and 0.12 μM (S/N = 3) for HQ and CC, respectively. Notably, it also displays excellent practical application for the recognition of HQ and CC in the rain water, the tap water , the domestic wastewater and the lake water, which may be a promising candidate in environmental water monitoring and drinking water safety.

Designing and synthesizing stable electrocatalysts with outstanding performance for water splitting is an arduous and urgent task. Herein, Ru-anchored CoP embedded in N-doped porous carbon nanocubes (Ru-CoP/NCs) is successfully prepared. The Ru-CoP/NC reveals superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) properties and stability under alkaline conditions, and the corresponding overpotentials are 22 and 330 mV at 10 mA·cm–2, respectively. The unique N-doped porous carbon nanocube could boost the conductivity, and the electronic structure of CoP can be adjusted by the anchoring of Ru. Therefore, the strong interaction between Ru atoms and CoP improves the hydrogen adsorption on the catalyst, hence boosting the HER/OER performance of the Ru-CoP/NC catalyst. This work provides a facile method to exploit high-performance catalysts for water splitting.

In order to solve the crisis of energy depletion and protect the beautiful natural environment, the development of efficient, cost-effective and stable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst has attracted great attention, but it is still an urgent challenge to fabricate an abundant and low cost electrocatalyst. In this article, a novel HER catalyst with heterogeneous structure interfaces was in situ synthesized by multi-step electrodeposition method, and the mechanism of the enhancement of its electrocatalytic activity was elucidated by the combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculation and multi-characterizations. The initial overpotential is only 83 mV and the Tafel slope is only 58.5 mV/dec, which is better than most of other reported CoP-based electrocatalyst. At the meantime, DFT calculations show that the incorporation of MoO 3 and rGO leads to electron redistribution among different components, which ensures efficient adsorption and activation of H 2 O molecules and hydrogen atoms. Therefore, this work will contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms associated with heterojunctions and provide guidance for the rational design of a hybrid catalyst.

The exploration of bifunctional catalyst with economic, durable, and efficient performance plays a crucial role to boost both hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in overall water splitting. Herein, we report a feasible strategy to design effective heterostructure between CoP and Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (denoted as CoP/Ti 3 C 2 T x ). This approach allows for the growth of CoP nanoparticles with uniform size of 5 nm on the Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, further enhancing the water electrolysis efficiency. The CoP/Ti 3 C 2 T x bifunctional catalyst demonstrates an exceptional HER activity with a satisfactory overpotential of 103 mV at 10 mA cm −2 , and also can drive 10 mA cm −2 for OER with the overpotential of 312 mV in 1.0 M KOH. Moreover, the CoP/Ti 3 C 2 T x -based electrolyzer exhibits high electrochemical stability for 24 h with a low required voltage of 1.66 V at 10 mA cm −2 . The density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the introduction of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene significantly adjusts d-band center towards Fermi level and expand total density of states, resulting in great electrical conductivity, enhanced water adsorption, and activation. This study provides an available mode for effective design and construction of non-noble-metal-based dual-functional catalyst toward practical energy conversion.

Designing low-cost, high-performance electrocatalysts for the electrocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to produce 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report a novel post-pyrolysis phosphidation method for preparing Nb- and Fe-doped CoP-based catalysts. Nb-CoP@NC delivers a current density of 91.79 mA cm⁻² at a potential of only 1.50 V vs. RHE, achieving nearly 100 % HMF conversion, 98.3 % FDCA selectivity, and 95.6 % Faradaic efficiency (FE). Structural and surface analyses via XRD and XPS reveal that Nb doping significantly modulates the electronic structure of CoP, generating Nb 5+δ active species, which show superior catalytic activity for HMFOR compared to Fe 3+δ . This work not only highlights the pivotal role of Nb doping in enhancing catalytic performance but also provides a general and facile strategy for constructing efficient bimetallic CoP-based catalysts for biomass-derived HMF oxidation.

Exploiting high-efficient and stable non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of enormous significance to address the shortage of global power source, but there remain major challenges. Here we present a facile and controllable strategy to synthesize a strongly coupled ultrasmall-cobalt phosphide/nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon (u-CoP@NC) hybrid structure via phosphorization from a porous coordination polymer (PCP) precursor. The PCP-derived u-CoP@NC exhibits remarkable activity and stability for HER, achieving a current density of 10 mA cm −2 with a low overpotential of 131 mV in acidic media and 111 mV in basic media. The corresponding Tafel slopes present in acidic and basic media are 62.7 and 70.3 mV dec −1 , respectively. Results reveal that the enhanced electrocatalytic performance of u-CoP@NC originates from the strongly coupled u-CoP nanoparticles and graphitic carbon layer, and the perfect dispersity of the active sites. This research opens up new avenues for designing earth-abundant metal-based electrocatalysts with high capability for water splitting applications.

The combination of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) can be an effective way to amplify the signal intensity. In this work, an ECL aptasensor with 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid–decorated cobalt phosphate (denoted as PTCA/CoP) as the ECL emitter and Au nanoparticles (NPs) as plasma was proposed for diclofenac assay. The prepared PTCA/CoP with special 1D/2D structure exhibited good ability and excellent ECL performance. The diclofenac aptamer acted as a bridge to link the PTCA/CoP and Au NPs; thus, the ECL performance of PTCA/CoP was greatly improved due to the plasma effect of Au NPs. Besides, it was found that the ECL signal of the aptasensor was obviously quenched by the introduction of diclofenac, which might be due to the transformation from the LSPR process to the resonance energy transform (RET) process. Under optimal conditions, the difference of ECL intensity was negatively correlated with the concentration of diclofenac in the range 0.1 pM to 10 μM with a low detection limit of 0.072 pM at the potential of −1.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl ( S / N = 3). The aptasensor was proved to be suitable for the detection of diclofenac in real samples, suggesting its great practicability. Graphical abstract

Noble metal-free electrocatalysts have received widespread attention in a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the importance of renewable energy development. Herein, a Co2P/CoP heterojunction embedded on an N-doped carbon (Co2P/CoP/NC) electrocatalyst was prepared via an in situ pyrolysis method. The as-prepared electrocatalyst exhibited efficient electrocatalytic activity for HER in an acidic solution. The Co2P/CoP/NC catalyst displayed an overpotential of 184 mV at 10 mA cm−2and a low Tafel slope of 82 mV dec−1, which could be attributed to the tight Co2P/CoP heterojunction and the synergetic effect of Co2P/CoP and N-doped carbon. In addition, the electrochemical active surface area of Co2P/CoP/NC was 75.2 m2g−1, which indicated that more active regions can be applied for the HER process. This report may pave a new way for the design of efficient and low-cost N-doped-carbon-supported 3d transition metal phosphide electrocatalysts.
