Synthesis of nontoxic quantum dots (QDs) with excellent optical properties in aqueous phase to replace organic dyes with photobleaching drawbacks used in bioimaging has become a research priority. Herein, water-soluble Ag-In-Zn-S (AIZS) QDs were prepared by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method at 110 °C for 40 min. The luminescence peak of AIZS QDs was varied from 684.5 nm to 576.2 nm when the Ag/In molar ratio was changed in the range of 1/2–1/10. A clear blue-shift of PL peak from 616.8 nm to 551.5 nm was observed with increasing Zn 2+ element with the Ag/Zn molar ratio in the range of 1/0–1/14, indicating that the increase of Zn 2+ content caused the increase of band gap. The AIZS QDs exhibit the highest photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY) of 20.67 % with the molar ratio of Ag/In/Zn=1/6/2, and fluorescence lifetime upped to 294.69 ns. Finally, human hepatocellular carcinomas (HepG2) cells and Hela cells were incubated with AIZS QDs solution at different concentrations and were found to have a high survival rate. Furthermore, HepG2 cells emitted bright yellow light when stimulated upon UV excitation, indicating that AIZS QDs can be applied in bioimaging field.

Structurally robust nanostructures on the surface of matrix highly determine the durability of superhydrophobic surface of cellulosic materials . Traditionally, the hydrophobic inorganic-organic nanocomposites were physically coated on the surface of cellulose fibers , whereas the nanocomposite was easy to fall off under external force due to the weak interfacial interaction between inorganic materials and cellulose, restricting their practical application. In this work, a sort of structurally stable superhydrophobic cellulosic materials was elaborately designed by successive in situ synthesis of Zn(OH) 2 nanoarchitectures and coating stearic acid (STA). The unique flower-like micro/nano structures as well as the presence of hydrophobic STA imparted the cellulosic materials with superhydrophobic behavior and the optimized water contact angle of synthesized STA@Zn(OH) 2 /paper nanocomposite was enhanced to 171°. Moreover, the resultant cellulosic nanocomposite also possesses excellent structural stability without STA and Zn(OH) 2 fall off as well as hydrophobicity reduction after bending 100 times. Compared to bare filter paper, both tensile stress and elongation at break of optimized flower-like nanocomposite reached 14.04 MPa and 25.24% with 109.6% and 323.5% improvement, respectively. Furthermore, such superhydrophobic cellulose-based material also presented excellent anti-fouling and antibacterial performances. This work proposed a facial and efficient strategy to construct structurally stable superhydrophobic cellulose-based materials, displaying great potential application in food packaging and outdoor anti-fouling fields.

The flexible design and construction of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts with high activity, great stability, and superior cost efficiency are essential for metal-air batteries and fuel cells. Hollow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered promising electrocatalysts owing to their outstanding thermal stability, robust chemical properties, and high specific surface area. Herein, a convenient and controllable solid-phase route is proposed for the preparation of porous nitrogen (N) and boron (B) co-doped carbon nanotubes (NBCNT) by using tubular polypyrrole (PPy) and sodium tetraphenylboron ((C 6 H 5 ) 4 BNa), in which (C 6 H 5 ) 4 BNa serves not only as a B source but also as a pore-forming agent that can help to regulate N configuration and expose more active sites. Due to the synergistic effects of porous one-dimensional hollow structure and the binary heteroatom doping, the optimized NBCNT catalyst demonstrates superior catalytic performance for ORR in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. Moreover, Zn-air batteries are constructed based on the as-prepared catalysts, which reveal a high operating voltage (1.43 V) and peak power density (173.93 mW cm −2 ), further demonstrating a comparable electrocatalytic performance of the catalysts to commercial Pt/C catalyst. This work reveals a novel construction of high-efficiency and cost-effective metal-free catalysts for various energy conversion and storage technologies.

Rechargeable Zn ion batteries are regarded as a preferable candidate for next-generation energy storage systems owing to their merits of environmental benignity, low cost, and high safety. Nevertheless, unsatisfactory cycling stability stemming from dendrite growth and undesired side reactions of Zn anodes prevent their widespread commercial adoption. Here, a novel 3D Zn metal anode with multi-channel lattice structures employing the combined 3D printing and electroless plating/electroplating techniques is reported. The constructed 3D Ni–Zn anode with multi-channel lattice structure and super-hydrophilic surface can effectively ameliorate the electric-field distribution and induce the uniform deposition of Zn without Zn dendrite growth, as confirmed by simulation of current density distribution of the electrode in electrolyte and in situ microscopic observation of Zn plating/stripping. As expected, the 3D Ni–Zn cell shows highly reversible Zn plating/stripping with satisfactory Coulombic efficiency due to the low Zn nucleation overpotential and homogeneous distribution of localized electric field. Consequently, a full cell built with a 3D printed Zn anode and polyaniline-intercalated vanadium oxide cathode exhibits remarkable performance. The simple and cost-effective fabrication of conductive metal lattices with tunable 3D multi-channel architecture opens up new opportunities to develop other high-performance metal (such as Li, Na, K, Mg, Al) batteries.

Cr(VI) is a type of dangerous effluent that has caused great harm to human health and the environment. Recognition and perception of Cr(VI) by artificial receptors has attracted extensive attention. A novel fluorescent chemical sensor based on the 5,7-dihydroxyflavone skeleton was designed and synthesized for the selective recognition of Cr(VI). As confirmed by fluorescence technology, the fluorescent probe 4-dimethylaminobenzyl chrysin ester–Zn (DBC–Zn) showed high sensitivity and selectivity for dichromate and a fast response (less than 30 sec) recognition. The fluorescence intensity of DBC–Zn varies linearly with the concentration of Cr(VI) in the range 0.1–1 μM. The detection limit of Cr 2 O 7 2− by DBC–Zn is 2.3 nM, which is far lower than the national safe drinking water standard stipulated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (1.9 μM). The quenching mechanism of the probe can be attributed to the interaction of the dynamic quenching effect and the fluorescence internal filtration effect. In addition, the probe has good stability in both neutral and alkaline environments, and the accuracy of quantitative analysis of Cr 2 O 7 2− in lake water or tap water is more than 80%. The test paper based on DBC–Zn can effectively detect Cr 2 O 7 2− at the concentration of 100 ppb. This shows that the probe has a certain practical application value.

The low operating voltage of 1.4 V limits the widespread application of flexible Zn-air batteries (ZABs) in wearable electronics. However, a high-voltage flexible ZAB has not been achieved yet, which results from the few choices of fitted flexible electrolytes. Now we propose a novel, universal, and simple strategy to design all-in-one and membrane-free acid-alkaline flexible electrolytes based on thermo-reversible Pluronic® F127 hydrogels. Benefiting from the unique sol–gel transition property of Pluronic® F127 hydrogel, the acid and alkaline can be decoupled but integrated simultaneously in one hydrogel. Surprisingly, the as-developed ZAB achieves an unprecedentedly high voltage of 2 V, surpassing all the existing flexible ZABs. Meanwhile, this battery exhibits remarkable high-voltage stability of 37 h and a large area capacity of 1.35 mAh cm −2 without the use of costly bipolar membranes. Our work presents a pioneering example for flexible high-voltage ZAB and may further inspire other designs of flexible high-voltage aqueous batteries and decoupled dual-electrolyte batteries.

Rational design and constructing multifunctional electrocatalysts featuring with low cost and high efficiency is critical for promoting the implement of sustainable energy devices such as water splitting and zinc air batteries. Herein, we report a facile means to prepare a selenide/sulfide hetero-structured NiCo 2 Se 4 /NiCoS 4 catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), overall water splitting (OWS), and Zn-air batteries (ZABs). The NiCo 2 Se 4 /NiCoS 4 heterostructure showed excellent OER and HER performance, evidenced by the small overpotential of 248 mV and 180 mV @ 10 mA cm −2 for OER and HER, and superior long-term stability to the benchmark IrO 2 and Pt/C catalyst for OER and HER, respectively. It also exhibited a potential of 1.660 V @ 10 mA cm −2 in the practical OWS test, close to the Pt/C + IrO 2 catalyst. Furthermore, when employed as air-cathode catalyst for ZABs, the NiCo 2 Se 4 /NiCoS 4 modified battery exhibited the narrow charge-discharge voltage gap of 0.98 V @ 50 mA cm −2 and a maximal specific capacity of 693.17 mA h g −1 , outperforming the IrO 2 counterpart. Such excellent performance can be attributed to the advantageous structural merit of the NiCo 2 Se 4 nanoflowers, and especially the heterostructure interfaces created in NiCo 2 Se 4 /NiCoS 4 , which significantly boosted the catalytic synergistic effects. This study can offer a new avenue to design and prepare abundant-element-based cost effective, efficient and durable electrocatalysts with multifunctionalities that hold great promises to be applied in electrochemical devices.

Substitution of Zn with Mg has been reported to suppress CuZn defects, which can improve the photoelectric performance of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) photovoltaic devices. In our work, the electrical property enhancement of an absorbing layer can be found by incorporating Mg content into the as-prepared precursor solution, forming an alloyed Cu2MgxZn1-xSn(S,Se)4 (CMZTSSe) phase and increasing the photoelectric performance of devices. By adjusting the doping ratio of Mg, we systemically study the impact of Mg content on the crystal structure, thickness, and electrical properties of the Cu2MgxZn1-xSn(S,Se)4 absorbing layer. Also, the photoelectric performance of Cu2MgxZn1-xSn(S,Se)4 solar cells have a large improvement, and the optimal photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7.76% for devices is obtained. Our results offer the finding that Mg doping can optimize the electrical properties of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 photovoltaic devices.

Flexible wire-shaped supercapacitors have attracted wide interest due to the increasing demand for portable and wearable electronics. Due to the complex functioning atmosphere of wearable electronics, their mechanical stability and electrochemical stability under different bending states are required. In this work, the self-made Ag-coated cotton wire was adopted as the collector and zinc–cobalt layered double hydroxide nanosheets were successfully electrodeposited on this wire (Ag-CW@ZnCo-LDH) by a facile chronopotentiometry with a constant current of 0.02A. Ag-CW@ZnCo-LDH electrode displayed a high specific capacitance of 1732.4 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and 61.7% of capacitance retention after 2000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . Flexible wire-shaped symmetric supercapacitor was fabricated by two same Ag-CW@ZnCo-LDH electrodes, which exhibited a working potential window of 1.2 V. The as-assembled WSSC showed a good electrochemical performance with specific capacitance of 16.3 F g −1 and energy density of 1.33 Wh kg −1 at power density of 1224 W kg −1 . In addition, its CV curves barely deviated at all bending angles, manifesting the outstanding mechanical stability and great potential for practical application.

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of ZnO is restricted by its low light absorption ability and high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers. In order to overcome these drawbacks, ZnO/CdS/CdSe heterostructures are prepared on Zn foil substrate using facile three-step methods containing hydrothermal growth, successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) and modified chemical bath deposition (CBD). The effects of process parameters containing the number of SILAR cycles of CdS, sensitization sequence of CdS and CdSe, and precursors of CdSe on PEC performance of ZnO/CdS/CdSe heterostructures, and ZnO NRAs on PEC performance of CdS/CdSe co-sensitizer have been scrutinized. Through CdS and CdSe co-sensitization, a layer of CdS/CdSe nanofilm is conformally deposited on ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both the visible-light absorption ability and separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers of ZnO NRAs are significantly enhanced evidenced by UV–vis diffuse reflectance absorption spectra , photoluminescence (PL) spectra and electrochemical impedance spectra. Due to the synergistic effect of ZnO NRAs and CdS/CdSe co-sensitizer, the ZnO/CdS/CdSe heterostructures with five SILAR cycles and one modified CBD cycle (ZnO-CdS5-CdSe) show efficient PEC properties with photocurrent density of 6.244 mA/cm 2 at −0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl under light illumination of 100 mW/cm 2 , which are 57.28 and 4.73 times higher than those of pristine ZnO NRAs and CdS/CdSe clusters, respectively. Moreover, the photoconversion efficiency and incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of the ZnO-CdS5-CdSe photoanode reach 4.381% and 80.92%, respectively. The heterostructures based on Zn foil substrate in this study can be a promising candidate for practical PEC application and other applications such as photocatalytic degradation and solar cell due to its low manufacturing cost, large-scale production and efficient PEC ability.

The exploration of cheap, stable, and highly efficient non-precious metal catalyst is conducive to extending the practical applications of zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, a simple, environmental friendly and low-cost method was proposed to fabricate nitrogen-doped carbon–coated TiN nanoparticle composites (TiN@NC). Dicyandiamide was applied as the nitrogen source instead of ammonia reduction, based on which Ti 0.95 Co 0.05 N@NC was synthesized. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) measurement shows that the onset potential of Ti 0.95 Co 0.05 N@NC was 30 mV higher compared to TiN@NC, which is attributed: (i) Cobalt was doped into TiN lattice. (ii) After cobalt doping, the graphitization degree of carbon was increased to facilitate electron transport. (iii) Controlling the reservation of nitrogen to form more N-C active sites in Ti 0.95 Co 0.05 N@NC may further promote the performance of ORR. The performance of the ZABs was effectively improved after cobalt doping. It is believed to make it more convenient to prepare binary transition metal nitride nanostructures.
