Chemical looping hydrogen generation (CLHG) offers a promising solution for producing H 2 from industrial off-gas, such as blast furnace gas. However, increasing H 2 production capacity of the oxygen carrier (OC) at moderate temperature remains a significant challenge. In this study, a novel Cu-Fe-based OC is tailored for moderate-temperature CLHG from blast furnace gas. The results demonstrates that the tailored OC exhibits a superior H 2 production capacity of 12.99 mmol·g −1 at 550 °C, which is 6.5 times higher than that of Fe 2 O 3 at the same temperature. The addition of Cu leads to the formation of oxygen defects, which facilitate the migration of lattice oxygen, thereby the activity of the OC is enhanced. Furthermore, cyclical experiments demonstrates that O 2 -assisted regeneration strategy can effectively suppress the segregation of Cu during the cycling process, and the tailored OC shows good stability during 10 redox cycles. No additional separation process was required and the purity of the hydrogen was higher than 99%. The findings here open a new avenue for efficient CLHG from industrial off-gas at moderate operation temperature.

X1 (MeO-TPD) is an inexpensive and easily synthesized π -conjugated molecule that has been used as a hole-transport material (HTM) in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs), achieving relatively high efficiency. In this paper, we characterize the physicochemical properties of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and show that it is a promising p-dopant in a spin-coating solution with X1 as the HTM. The doped ssDSSCs showed an increase in short-circuit current density from 5.38 mA cm –2 to 7.39 mA cm –2 , and their overall power conversion efficiency increased from 2.9% to 4.3%. Also, ssDSSCs with DDQ-doped X1 were more stable than the undoped samples, demonstrating that DDQ can act as a p-type dopant in X1 as an HTM for highly efficient, stable ssDSSCs.

The Mn dissolution issue in manganese-based materials (LMO) represents one of the most challenging barriers to further commercial development of electrochemical lithium extraction, which is an efficient and clean way of extracting Li from liquid resources. Here, by leveraging the advantages of composite materials, a novel combination of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and sulfonated ionic polymers (Nafion) is introduced to relieve the issues of electrode polarization and manganese dissolution, critical factors limiting the durability of LMO electrodes. By modifying with rGO to enhance electronic conductivity and surface characteristics, and capturing dissolved Mn 2+ through Nafion, the modified electrode showed significant improvement in cycling stability and lithium adsorption capacity. Experimental results confirm that this synergistic approach effectively mitigates polarization effects and controls disproportionation reactions, thereby enhancing the stability of the lithium extraction process, revealing a notable increase in electrode capacity retention from 79.04 % to 94.64 % after 30 cycles. Additionally, through DFT calculations and XPS analysis, the effectiveness of the manganese capture strategy is validated. This work presents an effective new strategy to extend the lifespan of manganese-based electrodes and enhance their adsorption performance.

In this work, we demonstrate a facile approach to synthesize high-performance and stable TiO 2 @PANI core-shell nanowires (NWs) as flexible electrodes for solid-state supercapacitors (SCs). The TiO 2 @PANI core-shell NWs are grown directly on highly conductive carbon cloth, which not only give efficient charge transport and accessible diffusion of the electrolyte, but also provide large surface area and active sites for redox reaction as well as good strain accommodation. Such these features enable them to deliver a large areal capacitance of 520.3 mF/cm 2 at 0.5 mA/cm 2 with outstanding rate capability. Furthermore, a flexible and stable solid-state SC device based on these TiO 2 @PANI core-shell NWs is also demonstrated. The as-fabricated solid-state SC device yields a remarkable volumetric capacitance of 898.4 mF/cm 3 , excellent flexibility and significant cycling stability with more than 97.2% retention of its capacitance after 10000 cycles. We believe that these findings may open up new opportunities to prepare high-performance PANI-based electrodes for flexible solid-state SCs.

A higher porosity with better thermostability is desirable for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) resin. In this study, high molecular weight PVC resins are prepared by vinyl chloride monomer (VCM)-diallyl phthalate (DAP) suspension copolymerization in a 20-L reactor at 50 °C using DAP as chain extender. SEM, BET, and analyses of plasticizer absorption results show the high molecular weight poly(vinyl chloride) (HPVC) by DAP-VCM copolymerization is loose and porous. With increasing DAP content when the mass ratio of DAP/VCM (ω ) is below the gel point, the porosity and the degree of polymerization increase. Nevertheless, the bulk density and particle size decrease. When more than the gel point, these relationships are reversed. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the HPVC had better thermostability than that of commercial PVC, and its thermostability increases with increasing ω before it reaches the gel point. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Si/Cu/Zn ternary microspheres are prepared by a pulsed electrical discharging method in a scalable manner. Zn and partial Si within these microspheres can then be selectively removed by chemical etching to form Si/Cu nanowires. The Si/Cu (~62 atom% Si) nanowires show a high discharge capacity of 2092 mAh g −1 and a high capacity retention after 500 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g −1 . The excellent rate and cycling performance are attributed to the conductive Cu network and nanowire structure, which increases the electric conductivity of the electrode and accommodates the volumetric change of silicon during the charge/discharge process. Furthermore, the Si/Cu nanowire anode utilizes relatively cheap materials and flexible processing methods, costing approximately $0.3 g −1 . This work presents a novel method to prepare nanowire-like Si-based anode materials , which is promising to boost the yield of Si alloy NWs with low cost.

P2-Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27−xMn0.62YxO2 (x = 0, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%) cathode materials were successfully prepared using a traditional solid-state method with ball milling-assisted modification. The effect of Y-doping on the crystal structure, grain size, morphology and sodium storage performance of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2 was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), galvanostatic charge–discharge cycling tests, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results demonstrated that the ball-milling pre-treatment method could effectively reduce the grain size and mitigate the aggregation of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2. Additionally, reasonable Y-doping (x = 1%) significantly enhances the rate capability and cycling stability of Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.27Mn0.62O2via improving the Na+ diffusion kinetics and the reversibility of the oxygen redox reaction. These results indicate that Na0.6Li0.11Fe0.26Mn0.62Y0.01O2 is a promising candidate material for high-rate and long-life cathodes for Na-ion battery application.

Up conversion luminescent materials Sr 2 YTaO 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphors were prepared by high temperature calcination . In view of the formation, temperature characteristics , and photoluminescence features of the sample, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence were used. Under the excitation at 980 nm, the series of samples is significantly stimulated by Er 3+ up-conversion luminescence and Yb 3+ sensitization at 524, 550 and 659 nm. According to the diversity of temperature sensing performance from these three highest peaks, a dual-mode temperature sensor on account of fluorescence intensity ratio (thermally coupled level between 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 , and nonthermally coupled energy levels between 2 H 11/2 and 4 F 9/2 ) is achieved by using a single luminescent center. Moreover, the phosphor has strong thermal stability, which is helpful to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement. Under the temperature measurement of a dual-mode temperature sensor, it is calculated that the optimal absolute sensitivity S a of thermally coupled energy level is 0.78 × 10 −3 K −1 (473 K) and relative sensitivity S r is 1.32 %K −1 (293 K), and the maximum optimal absolute sensitivity S a of non-thermally coupled energy level is 1.02 × 10 −4 K −1 (473 K) and relative sensitivity S r is 0.58 %K −1 (293 K). All results imply that Sr 2 YTaO 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphors are promising materials for self-referenced optical temperature measurement.

In this work, Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO)-based membrane electrolyte, which has good flexibility and can be easily mass-produced, is proposed to address the intrinsic defects of ceramic electrolytes . The LLZO-based membrane electrolyte is electrochemically stable in the voltage range of 0–5.2 V vs. Li/Li + due to the good oxidative stability of LLZO. We also develop a simple and low-cost approach to fabricate the all-solid-state lithium battery (ASSLB). Wet coating and hot pressing are applied to form a continuous and homogeneous electrolyte layer on a cathode layer. Thanks to the integrated preparation process, there is no obvious interface between the cathode layer and the electrolyte layer, hence reducing the interface resistance. The Li/LiFePO 4 batteries exhibit desirable cycling performance at 60 °C, which deliver a maximum discharge specific capacity of 151.6 mAh·g −1 at 0.1C and maintain 97.8% of the capacity after 50 cycles.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are gaining widespread attention owing to their intrinsic safety and low cost. However, it is still a challenge that finding robust cathode materials to build a high-energy-density aqueous ZIBs. Here, we synthesize a novel layered K 0.41 MnO 2 ·0.5H 2 O (KMO) cathode material for aqueous ZIBs. The constructed Zn//KMO battery shows an ultrahigh discharge capacity of 425 mAh g −1 and a remarkable energy density of 503 Wh kg −1 at 175 mA g −1 , as well as an good durability over 1500 cycles with no obvious capacity fading. A comprehensive study suggests that the water molecules can intercalate into layered KMO with H + and Zn 2+ ions during discharging process. The co-intercalating water not only facilitates ions insertion, but serves as pillars to stabilize the structure of KMO. This work demonstrates the mechanism about water cointercalation and provides a way for designing high-energy-density aqueous ZIBs.

Ultraflexible electronics have received extensive attention due to their favorable properties, such as superior mechanical robustness, light weight and good compatibility with large-area roll-to-roll fabrication. Here we present a flexible sandwiched tungsten trioxide/silver nanotrough network/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–poly(styrene sulfonate) multi-layer transparent conducting electrode with prominent conductivity (sheet resistance as low as 1.08 Ω sq−1) and transparency (85%). In particular, the flexible transparent electrode exhibits excellent mechanical robustness upon bending and stretching. This hybrid electrode can be further adhered tightly to a layer of WO3 to form an electrochromic device, which simultaneously displays a rapid switching time (0.75 s/1.82 s for bleaching/coloring) and high cyclic performance (86% retention of the initial optical contrast after cycling for 30 000 s). In addition, our electrode can also be fabricated on various flexible substrates, such as polyethylene cling wrap, polydimethylsiloxane and Ecoflex, with sustained electrochromic properties after bending, twisting, stretching and even strong kneading. Our work provides new opportunities for the next generation of flexible and wearable electronics applied on various flexible substrates.
