In this paper, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite as anode for aqueous lithium ion battery has been successfully synthesized by in-situ carbon coating method using oxalic acid and glucose as double carbon sources. XRD results confirm the rhombohedral NASICON-type LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 structure of the as-prepared composite. The LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources (LTP-OG-10) disperses well, and the coated carbon layer has the appropriate thickness of 3–7 nm, which result in proper balance of the good electrical conductivity and the fast kinetics of diffusion of lithium ions . LTP-OG-10 exhibits better electrochemical performance compared with those using oxalic acid (LTP-O) or glucose (LTP-G) single carbon source. LTP-OG-10 anode delivers the discharge capacity of 112.5 mA h g −1 , 96.8 mA h g −1 , and 54.2 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C, 5 C and 20 C, respectively, much larger than that of LTP-O and LTP-G. Moreover, LTP-OG-10 demonstrated excellent cycling performance, with the capacity retention of 71.1% after 400 cycles at 0.2 C, 22.9% higher than that of LTP-G. The good electrochemical properties of LTP-OG-10 is mainly ascribed to the increase of defects, high-quality and appropriate thickness of carbon layer. Our study reveals that preparing LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources is an efficient approach to enhance its electrochemical properties.

Room-temperature-processed (RTP) electron-transport layer (ETL) is a prerequisite for fabricating fully RTP perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, an RTP-Zn 2 SnO 4 (ZSO) ETL is deposited for achieving RTP-PSCs by magnetron sputtering using ZnO and SnO 2 targets. The ZSO ETL exhibits great electrical properties, better band alignment, and yields increased grain size of the perovskite grown on it, thus facilitating electron extraction from the perovskite layer to the ETL. As a result, a champion power conversion efficiency of 21.06% is achieved in the ZSO-based device, which is the highest value for RTP-PSCs. The ZSO-based PSCs also exhibit high device stability. Moreover, the efficiency of a large-area perovskite module based on ZSO ETL reaches 17.79%.

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.

Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 (M=Nb, Ta) oxides were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The compounds adopt 6-layer perovskite-related structure (referred to as 6C) in P 3 ̅ m 1, analogous to Ba 6 Na 2 Nb 2 P 2 O 17 . The 6C structure consists of cubic ( c ) BaO 3 layers and pseudo-cubic ( c' ) oxygen-vacancy-ordered BaO 2 layers stacked according to a sequence of c'ccccc . Ordering of oxygen vacancies in oxygen-deficient c' -BaO 2 layers leads to two successive isolated tetrahedral layers, which stabilize an unusual +5 oxidation state for Mn cations in the tetrahedral sites. In Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 , these two Mn 5+ O 4 layers are sandwiched by two single octahedral NaO 6 layers that connected by two successive octahedral NbO 6 layers, forming alternative 2:1-ordered (Ba 3 NaM 2 O 9 ) - and (Ba 3 NaMn 2 O 8 ) + perovskite-like units along the stacking direction. The Mn 5+ O 4 tetrahedral units act as a turquoise chromophore in Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 , making these two compounds potential turquoise-coloring materials for the cool pigments .

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.
