Lamella SnSbCu x /MCMB/carbon composite were prepared by a multi-step synthesis method for high stability and long life lithium ion battery electrodes. The lamella composite were synthesized via co-precipitation method combining with high-speed ball milling and subsequent pyrolysis . The resultant composite are consisted of nano SnSbCu x particles, lamella mesophase carbon microbeads (MCMB, after ball milling) and amorphous carbon coating pyrolyzed from phenolic resin . The lamella MCMB was treated as the inner terrace, which offered efficient electron conducting pathway for connection of nano SnSbCu x particle and pyrolysis carbon. With the increasing of the content of inactive element Cu, the SnSbCu x /MCMB/carbon composite are propitious to improve the cycling performance. When cycled at a constant current of 100 mA g −1 between 0.01 and 2.0 V, the coulombic efficiency of first cycle exceeds 88.45% and the reversible capacity of 100th cycle attains to 485 mAh g −1 (91.4% capacity retention) in SnSbCu 0.5 /MCMB/carbon alloy anodes.

With the development of electric vehicles, more and more attention has been paid to the kinetic performance of batteries, which is related to rapid charge/discharge and safety issues. To improve this aspect, Cu2Nb34O87 nanowires covered by nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon (Cu2Nb34O87/NSC nanowires) are prepared by electrospinning combined with surface coating. As-prepared Cu2Nb34O87/NSC nanowires present a high ion diffusion coefficient and electronic conductivity, showing good a kinetic performance. Specifically, they deliver a splendid capacity of 311.2 mA h g−1 at 1 C and a superior cycling stability with a capacity fading of 0.031% per cycle upon 1000 cycles. At the same time, the electrochemical and structural reversibility is fully discussed and demonstrated by ex situ XRD, ex situ SEM and ex situ XPS based on the redox couples of Cu2+/Cu+, Nb5+/Nb4+, and Nb4+/Nb3+. Contributing to peculiar physico-chemical properties, Cu2Nb34O87/NSC nanowires are expected to be a candidate material for the anode in lithium-ion batteries.

One of the primary challenges for high-quality metal chalcogenide film growth by a chemical solution approach is to avoid the use of volatile/hazardous organic solvents during the fabrication processes. Herein, we demonstrate an organic solvent-free solution processing method which has the ability to enable growth of a diverse range of metal chalcogenide films. The processing solution is prepared by combining the required metal ions with non-volatile and non-flammable ionic liquid precursor solutions. These stable and homogeneous solutions can form a variety of high-quality and uniform metal chalcogenide films. Due to the facile and instant control of the stoichiometry used in this method, the band gap of multi-element compound semiconductors, for example quinary Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4, can be easily tuned from 1.01 eV of Cu2ZnSnSe4 to 1.52 eV of Cu2ZnSnS4. The resulting film also shows high hole mobility with a maximum of 56.9 cm2 V−1 s−1 for a carrier concentration of 3.24 × 1016 cm−3 at room temperature. Cu2ZnSnS4-based solar cells displayed an efficiency of 5.68%, which is comparable to the reported efficiencies of solar cells prepared by methods involving organic solvents (5.0–6.4%).

Carbon dioxide, being one of the major greenhouse gases responsible for global warming, its atmospheric level grows ever faster since the beginning of industrial era. Great efforts have been devoted to developing versatile technologies/processes to adjust and manipulate the rapid growth of CO 2 emission. Besides CO 2 capture and storage/sequestration (CCS) to control its emission, chemical utilization of the captured CO 2 (CCU) emerges to be a rational technique for economical benefits as well as environmental concerns. As for the aim of CO 2 utilization, an environmentally benign CO 2 /water reversible acidic system was developed for the copper (II)-catalyzed selective oxybromination of electron-rich aromatics without the need of any conventional acid additive and organic solvent. Notably, up to 95% yields of the bromination products were attained with good regio-selectivity when cupric bromide was used as the catalyst and lithium bromide as a cheap and easy handling bromine source under supercritical CO 2 . The catalytic system worked well for electron-rich aromatics including ethers, sulfides and mesitylene. Carbonic acid in situ formed from CO 2 and water is supposed to act as the proton donator in the Brønsted acid-promoted reaction. Notably, CO 2 in this study serves as a reaction medium and a promoter in conjunction with water and also provides safe environment for aerobic reactions. Given with excellent reaction efficiency as well as no need of neutralization disposal, this process thus represents an environmentally friendly approach for aerobic bromination of aromatics with essential reduction of CO 2 emission as well as an economically beneficial way for application of captured CO 2 .

A bimetallic thermally regenerative ammonia-based battery (B-TRAB) using inexpensive materials efficiently converts low-grade thermal energy into electricity with high power density. Through thermal regeneration of the anolyte, the B-TRAB system realized high-voltage discharge (1.38 V) with redox couples [Cu(II)/Cu and Zn(NH3)42+/Zn] and low-voltage charge (0.72 V) with Zn(II)/Zn and Cu(NH3)42+/Cu. Adding 2 M NH3 to the anolyte of a Cu/Zn-TRAB produced a peak discharge power density of 525 W m−2-electrode (120 W m−2-membrane), and the voltage (or current) and peak power could be doubled by connecting two cells in series (or parallel). In successive regeneration cycles, a maximum power density of 115 W m−2-electrode (26 W m−2-membrane) and a net energy density of 714 W h m−3 were produced at a constant current density of 100 A m−2. The power density was enhanced to 515 W m−2-electrode (118 W m−2-membrane) and maintained in successive cycles by adding acid to the regenerated catholytes, with a net energy density of 299 W h m−3 (discharged at a constant load of 12 Ω and charged at a constant current density of 100 A m−2). A thermal-electricity conversion efficiency of 0.95% (10.7% relative to the Carnot efficiency) was achieved.

The quaternary chalcogenides consisting of earth-abundant elements such as Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) have promising electrical and optical properties prompting enormous technological interest. Understanding different types of defects including Cu/Zn ordering is believed to be the key point to tackle technological challenges such as a large open circuit voltage deficit in CZTSe. The Te doped Cu2.2Zn0.8SnSe4−xTex (x = 0.01–0.04) were investigated using X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy at the Cu, Zn, and Se K-edges as well as at the Te L3-edge. Cu at the zinc site with anti-site defects and oxygen interstitials are identified. The detailed electronic structure upon Te doping is studied, providing insights into the rich defect chemistry present in this compound.

In this work, a simple electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) based on rhombic dodecahedral Cu 2 O nanocrystals–graphene oxide–gold nanoparticles (rCu 2 O–GO–AuNPs). GO as the template and surfactant resulting in rCu 2 O exhibit improved rhombic dodecahedral structure uniformity and excellent electrochemical performance. Moreover, GO was found to be able to effectively improve the long stability of rCu 2 O on the electrode response . Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor showed a low limit of detection (0.004 ng ml −1 ) and a large linear range (0.01–120 ng ml −1 ). This work presents a potential alternative for the diagnostic applications of GO-supported special morphology materials in biomedicine and biosensors.

Palladium(II) and copper(II) chloride complexes bearing bulky 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-diimine ligands were synthesized and sufficiently characterized by elemental and spectroscopic analysis along with X-ray diffraction analysis. The X-ray diffraction demonstrated that palladium(II) complexes (C1–C2) and copper(II) complexes (C3–C4) were four-coordinated. All these complexes displayed catalytic activities up to 105 gpolymer molMt−1 h−1 for norbornene vinyl-addition polymerization on treatment with excess methylaluminoxane (MAO). The parameters of the reaction conditions, the type of metals and steric effects of coordinative ligands had influences on the catalytic properties. C2 was selected as a catalyst precursor for the copolymerization of norbornene (NB) with 2-butyloxymethylene norbornene (BN), which exhibited catalytic activities up to 1.1 × 105 gpolymer molPd−1 h−1 and produced copolymers with relatively high molecular weights. The fraction of BN in the copolymer could reach up to 9.8–62.1% by controlling the monomer feed ratio range from 10–80%. The achieved vinyl-addition type poly(NB-co-BN) displayed high thermal stability and was soluble in common organic solvents, such as CHCl3 and THF.

In this study, green tea was used as a reducing agent to prepare GT-nZVI/Cu nano-zero-valent iron-copper bimetallic materials for nitrate degradation. Through single factor experiments, the process conditions for nitrate removal by GT-nZVI/Cu were optimized. By measuring the contents of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia nitrogen in the reaction products, the reduction pathway of nitrate-nitrogen in GT-nZVI/Cu was studied. In addition, the removal mechanism of nitrate by GT-nZVI/Cu was also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and kinetic experiments. The results showed that the size of GT-nZVI/Cu particles is between 50 and 70 nm, and they are irregular spherical shapes. The polyphenol antioxidants in green tea make GT-nZVI/Cu have stronger antioxidant properties, and the denitration products are mostly nitrogen. The addition of copper ions accelerates the reaction time and reaction rate. The maximum removal rate of nitrate by GT-nZVI/Cu within 75 min can be up to 99 %. After three repeated experiments, the removal rate of GT-nZVI/Cu can still reach 70 %. The removal mechanism of GT-nZVI/Cu has enhanced nitrate removal through complexation, redox, and adsorption co-precipitation. This study provides a new route for the green preparation and efficient application of nZVI.

In this work, ruthenium-based bimetallic catalysts of 1Ru-5 M/TiO 2 (M = Co, Ce, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni) were prepared and evaluated in ethyl acetate oxidation. It was found that 1Ru-5Cu/TiO 2 gave the highest catalytic activity. The influence of CuO content and the preparation method on the catalytic activity was also studied. 1Ru-5Cu/TiO 2 showed great catalytic stability in the on-stream reaction test. The influence of H 2 O on the catalytic activity is presented. The bimetallic catalyst 1Ru-5Cu/TiO 2 showed better catalytic performance than the monometallic catalysts 1Ru/TiO 2 and 5Cu/TiO 2 . XRD, TEM, HAADF-STEM, H 2 -TPR, and XPS characterizations were conducted, and the synergistic effect between Ru and Cu was well presented. In situ FTIR studies were also conducted, and the reaction intermediates were revealed on the catalyst surface. The theoretical calculations suggested that ethyl acetate is more easily adsorbed on the CuO surface, while it reacts more easily on the RuO 2 surface . Accordingly, a reaction mechanism for the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate over a Ru-Cu bimetallic catalyst is proposed.

Constructing a multi-functionally artificial interphase layer is an emerging strategy to possibly address the issues of inhomogeneous Lithium (Li) nucleation and dendrite growth. In this study, a silver@fullerene (Ag@C 60 ) interphase layer with lithiophilic-lithiophobic gradient was designed, which was fabricated by series of deposition of silver and fullerene (Ag@C 60 ) on Cu foam current collector (ACCF). In this way, the typically uncontrolled Li deposition process will become a highly nucleation-guided process, due to the preferentially induced Li nucleation of Ag nanoparticles, which will guide the Li deposition sandwiched in C 60 and Ag layers. While the top lithiophobic fullerene layer is beneficial for regulating uniform Li-ion flux and facilitating the formation of LiF-rich SEI layer, finally suppressing the top deposition of Li metal, due to the high nucleation energy barrier on fullerene. Consequently, Li@ACCF exhibits a low overpotential of 14 mV and an ultra-stable cyclic life for more than 2500 h in symmetric cells. Besides, it also displays excellent long-term cycle life and high-rate performance in lithium-metal full cells. This deliberate design of the “push–pull” Li could ensure the uniform Li deposition sandwiched fullerene and silver layers and provide a feasible and efficient approach to advance the practical use of lithium-metal anodes for high-energy–density batteries.

It is of great significance to develop phase change materials (PCMs) with high performance. The reported PCMs usually possess serious defects like low heat capacity and poor thermal stability. Here, core–sheath structured nanofibers with polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as the sheath and octadecane as the core were fabricated by melt coaxial electrospinning. Pure octadecane without any solvents was used as the core solution, thus, the optimal sample possessed very high latent heat up to 118 J g−1. We studied the influence of core feed rate and PVB solution concentration on the encapsulation rate, and the highest encapsulation rate was found when the PVB concentration was 10% and core feed rate was 0.08 mL h−1. And hexagonal cesium tungsten bronze (CsxWO3, a near infrared absorber) was introduced into the optimal sample partly to improve its conversion efficiency of solar to thermal energy, and partly absorb uncomfortable infrared light; the composite phase change material also possessed high latent heat up to 96.9 J g−1. In addition, 100 thermal cycle test proved that with a minor latent heat decrease, the prepared core–sheath structured smart nanofibers had good thermal stability, which overcomes the leakage problem of pure octadecane. Additionally, the 9 wt% CsxWO3-loaded sample had an increase in tensile strength and elongation compared with the sample without CsxWO3, indicating the good compatibility between CsxWO3 and PVB.
