Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have garnered significant attention due to their high energy, intrinsic safety, and environmental friendliness. NASICON-type compounds are promising cathode candidates in aqueous batteries due to their high ionic conductivity , and high operating voltage. However, these materials, e.g., Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , suffer from inevitable structural degradation and dissolution in aqueous electrolytes, thus hampering their practical performance in aqueous batteries. Interfacial chemistry modulation by electrolyte engineering is beneficial for stabilizing Zn metal anode and high-voltage cathodes in ZIBs . Herein, the interfacial chemistries in an engineered non-concentrated aqueous electrolyte by co-solvent strategy are reported, which synergistically enables high reversibility of Zn anode and long cycling stability of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 cathode. Consequently, the Zn||Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 full-cell exhibits high Coulombic efficiency (∼99.3% in average) with a prolonged cycling life, which can be ascribed to the synergistic-effect of the solid-electrolyte interphases with unique organic/inorganic hybrid structures on the electrodes. This work discloses the structures of the interphases formed on the electrodes induced by co-solvent strategy in aqueous electrolytes and their working mechanisms in stabilizing the aqueous Zn batteries, which will guide the future design of advanced aqueous electrolytes with unique interfacial chemistries for batteries.

Hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite thin films have attracted much attention in optoelectronic and information fields because of their intriguing properties. Due to quantum confinement effects, ultrathin films in nm scale usually show special properties. Here, we report on the growth of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) ultrathin films via co-deposition of PbI2 and CH3NH3I (MAI) on chemical-vapor-deposition-grown monolayer MoS2 as well as the corresponding photoluminescence (PL) properties at different growing stages. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy measurements reveal the MoS2 tuned growth of MAPbI3 in a Stranski–Krastanov mode. PL and Kelvin probe force microscopy results confirm that MAPbI3/MoS2 heterostructures have a type-II energy level alignment at the interface. Temperaturedependent PL measurements on layered MAPbI3 (at the initial stage) and on MAPbI3 crystals in averaged size of 500 nm (at the later stage) show rather different temperature dependence as well as the phase transitions from tetragonal to orthorhombic at 120 and 150 K, respectively. Our findings are useful in fabricating MAPbI3/transition-metal dichalcogenide based innovative devices for wider optoelectronic applications.

Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), a biodegradable material, has excellent mechanical properties and processing properties. Brassylic acid (BA) is a kind of diacid with long chains derived from biomass. In this study, poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene brassylate) is synthesized to investigate the effects of BA on the structure and properties of PBS. The relationship between the melting temperature of copolyesters and the content of butylene brassylate units is V-shaped, which is typical of isodimorphic random copolyesters. Due to the introduction of BA, the density of unstable ester bonds in copolyesters gradually decreases and the initial thermal decomposition temperature of copolyesters gradually increases with the increase of BA. The dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the glass transition temperature of PBS was reduced by the introduction of BA. When the BA content is 25%, the copolyesters and PBS have the same crystal structure. When the BA content is 50–100%, the copolyesters and poly(butylene brassylate) have the same crystal structure, which indicates that the butylene brassylate units are easier to crystallize than the butylene succinate units. The ductility of copolyesters increases with the addition of BA. When the BA content is 50%, the elongation at break reaches the maximum (> 2000%). The copolyesters are suited for films due to high elongation at break.

Extensive studies on TiO 2 -based colossal permittivity (CP, dielectric constant ε’ >10 3 ) materials have focused on the cation doping of metal elements; however, little attention has been paid to nonmetallic dopants. Compared to metallic elements, nonmetallic atoms with small radii and high activities, such as H, C, B, and N, can be used as anion-doping elements. Their incorporation into the TiO 2 lattice includes interstitial and substitutional doping, which can influence the bandgap of TiO 2 and its electron transport performance differently, thereby exhibiting considerable potential in TiO 2 -based applications. In this study, different N-containing compounds (BN and NH 4 Cl) were doped into rutile TiO 2 , while homogeneous ceramics of single-phase rutile TiO 2 were prepared via solid-state sintering. The effects of co-doping N, Cl, and N, B on the dielectric properties of rutile TiO 2 ceramics were investigated. While N and Cl doping showed no considerable effect on the dielectric properties of rutile TiO 2 ceramics, the co-doping of N and B doping in rutile TiO 2 considerably increased the dielectric constant to >10 4 with suppressed tan δ in a wide frequency range from 1 kHz to 10 MHz. These ceramics exhibited excellent frequency stability (up to 100 MHz) and temperature stability (153–513 K), which outperforms most reported transition metal co-doped TiO 2 ceramics, thereby highlighting the untapped potential of the non-metallic dopants in enhancing dielectric materials.

The anode Pt catalyst of a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is susceptible to poisoning by trace amounts of CO in hydrogen, which restricts its large-scale commercialisation. Therefore, developing PEMFC catalysts with CO tolerance is crucial as it would reduce the requirement for hydrogen purity. In this study, we present a CO-tolerant catalyst for the PEMFC anode synthesised by loading Pt onto a polyaniline-modified conductive carbon composite support (Pt/C-PANI). The results showed that the catalyst containing 5% PANI in the composite support (Pt/C-PANI-5) exhibited optimal hydrogen oxidation reaction activity and CO tolerance. Electrochemical tests showed that the current drop of Pt/C-PANI-5 was 6.8%, compared to 20% and 12% for Pt/C-sys and commercial PtRu/C catalysts, respectively. Furthermore, results of the single-cell test confirmed improved CO tolerance. These findings provide a potential solution for developing cost-effective fuel cell catalysts with improved CO tolerance.

The afterburning effect of aluminized explosives makes them have strong damage ability to soft targets, but the aluminum particles in the composition often cannot achieve proper combustion. The high ignition temperature of micron aluminum powder is one of the main reasons. In this work, we introduce nanothermite reaction with low onset temperature (<660 °C) into aluminized explosives by replacing the base explosives with energetic coordination polymers (ECPs). The decomposition products of many ECPs contain corresponding metal oxides that will react with aluminum via thermite reaction. Three kinds of ECPs ([CoC 2 H 4 N 8 O 4 ] n , [NiC 2 H 4 N 8 O 4 ] n and [CuC 2 H 4 N 8 O 4 ] n ) are constructed and compounded with nano-aluminum (nano-Al) particles to form aluminized ECPs. The influence of metal ion species and Al/Metal (Al/Me) molar ratio on their energetic properties are systematically studied. The results show that the exothermic thermite reaction with low onset temperature plays an important role in the combustion propagation of aluminized ECPs, and the possible mechanism is proposed. When the Al/Me molar ratio is 3–4, the aluminized ECPs have the best peak pressure and pressurization rate. At the optimum molar ratio, the pressure and pressurization rate of aluminized ECP(Co) are much higher than those of aluminized ECP(Ni) and ECP(Cu). Among the three kinds of aluminized ECPs, the aluminized ECP(Co) has the best energetic characteristics and can be used as a preferred choice. However, for the applications that require a long-time heat supply, aluminized ECP(Cu) will be suitable.

Metal phosphides are usually being utilized for hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts with enormous potential. Meanwhile, the heterostructure can enhance the catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Inspired by the recent preparation of efficient catalysts for HER by using heterogeneous structures of different metal phosphides, we have designed a simple two-step method strategy based on sol-gel/carbonization to prepare the bimetal phosphide coated by nitrogen and phosphorus codoped (N,P-codoped) porous carbon . Phytic acid, chitosan and aniline are adopted to form the N,P-codoped porous carbon framework, the ferric chloride (FeCl 3 ) and ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate (H 8 MoN 2 O 4 ) are used as the metal sources to obtained bimetal phosphides (MoP/FeP). The heterostructural interface between the bimetal phosphides of MoP/FeP enhance the catalytic performance, while the N,P-codoped porous carbon promotes the development of reaction kinetics to accelerate the mass and electron transition. The prepared catalysts display limited overpotentials at high current density and exhibit good stability for long-time test. Density functional theory (DFT) is adopted to investigate the interact between the bimetal phosphides, which proves that the heterostructural interface can reduce the reaction Gibbs free-energy (△G H* ) and benefit the adsorption / desorption of intermediate H* . This work provides a facile route to the design of the metal phosphides for HER.

Promotion of Au/TiO2 by FeOx addition is shown to result in a very strong enhancement of activity and selectivity in the NO reduction with CO. The nanocomposite Au-FeOx/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by deposition–precipitation (Au/TiO2) and subsequent impregnation (FeOx). Structural characterization of the nanocomposite catalysts using XRD, TEM, TPR, XPS, and DRIFTS revealed that they consist of titania-supported Au particles of about 4.4–4.8 nm size, which were partially covered with a thin layer of FeOx,, mainly made up of Fe2+ (FeO), in addition to a small fraction of Fe3+ (Fe2O3). In situ DRIFTS studies showed that, in comparison to Au/TiO2, on the Au-FeOx/TiO2 nanocomposites new adsorption sites were created, which led to enrichment of CO and NO molecules on the Au surface and at its interfaces with FeOx and TiO2. At the reaction temperature (250 °C), a new surface NO–CO complex, where both Fe and Au are proposed to be involved in the adsorptive interaction, was discovered. The titania-supported Au-FeOx nanocomposites considerably facilitated the formation of this complex and contributed to the striking enhancement of the catalytic performance (activity and selectivity) of the Au-based catalyst.

As a new water treatment technology, Fenton-like reaction has great potential. In this study, we successfully prepared an excellent Fenton-like catalyst, which is composed of cobalt monoatoms and asymmetric subnanoclusters (labeled CoSA/Clu-C 2 N), and exhibits excellent peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation reactivity. By directly comparing the catalytic properties of CoSA-C 2 N and CoSA/Clu-C 2 N, the synergistic effects of coasymmetric Co subclusters and Co atoms on the activation of PMS and degradation of organic micropollutants were investigated. The results showed that CoSA/Clu-C 2 N had higher degradation rates of carbamazepine (CBZ), antipyrine (AT) and chlorobenzoic acid (CA) when combined with active oxidant PMS. The cyclic frequency of CBZ was 5.4 min −1 , which was twice as high as the catalytic constant of CoSA-C 2 N (2.4 min −1 ). The results show that CoSA/Clu-C 2 N cobalt subnanoclusters and cobalt single atom can synergistically improve the catalytic performance of activated PMS oxidation of micropollutants in water. In addition, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology has proved that the introduction of Co subnano clusters in CoSA/Clu-C 2 N is conducive to the production of singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), thereby improving the efficiency of pollutant oxidation. This work lays a solid foundation for the future design of advanced multifunctional catalysts by carefully regulating and combining monmetallic atoms and metal subnanoclusters.

Graphical Recycle for the environment ! Nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped graphene-like carbon (NPG) strongly enhances the reactivity in the selective catalytic oxidization of aromatic alcohols to carboxylic acids with TBHP and O 2 in water. The NPG catalyst can be fabricated by combining ball-milling with thermal treatment method. The NPG catalyst shows good recyclability, which can be simply and efficiently used for eight consecutive runs. The nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped graphene-like carbon (NPG) is cost-effective fabricated by simple ball-milling and thermal treatment. The as-prepared NPG can be used as a metal-free catalyst for selective catalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols to their corresponding acids by using TBHP and O 2 as the oxidant in water. It is observed that various aromatic alcohols bearing electron-donating/withdrawing groups can be oxidized to the corresponding acids in excellent yields. No dehalogenation and steric-hindrance effects are detected in this oxidation process. In addition, the NPG catalyst can be easily separated and efficiently reused seven times, showing good recyclability.

Until now, superhydrophobic materials that are scale-up fabrication and application to harsh environments remain challenging because of their fragile mechanical durability. Because of their unique electronic structure, rare-earth oxides (REOs) have been proven to be intrinsically hydrophobic. Herein, cerium oxide particles (CeO 2 ) are added to the coating by coelectrodeposition. The Co–Ni/CeO 2 composite coating from the electrolyte containing 3.44 g L −1 possesses a flower-like hierarchical structure, displaying a superhydrophobic behavior after the modification by 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane (PFTEOS). More importantly, excellent mechanical durability with critical abrasion distance of 22.5 m is achieved under a 5 kPa fixed normal pressure in the liner abrasion test before the loss of superhydrophobicity. Also, electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the superhydrophobic composite coatings display high corrosion resistance.

Efficient separation of fine-disseminated rhodochrosite is a challenge in the purification of manganese carbonate ore and a key to reduce the discharge of electrolytic manganese slag. The agglomeration behavior of the fine particles is of importance for flotation separation. In this study, we investigated the agglomeration behavior and aggregate properties of rhodochrosite fines co-induced by oleic acid (OA) and shearing using particle size and structure analysis, surface properties measurement, extended DLVO (EDLVO) theoretical calculation and shear fracture model analysis. The results showed that rhodochrosite fines agglomerates obviously with the increasing OA concentration and pH value, and the average particle size reaches the maximum at the initial OA concentration of 1 × 10 -3 mol/L and pH of 6. The monolayer physical and chemical saturation adsorption of OA cause stronger hydrophobicity of rhodochrosite. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic attractive force between particles is stronger than electrostatic repulsive force, resulting in hydrophobic agglomeration. The moderate stirring rate is conducive to forming larger-sized and denser agglomerates with the critical rate of 500 rpm. However, intensive shearing will cause significant damage to the formed agglomerates. Besides, the volume concentrations of 10–30 μm and 30–45 μm particles increased with the increase of stirring rate after breakage and with a lower value of γ’ than 0.5, suggesting that the agglomerates breakage is mainly controlled by large-scale fragmentation mechanism. Interestingly, as recovering shearing from the higher rate to the initial rate, a secondary agglomeration is achieved by the regrowth of core (30–45 μm particles) and attach of branches and coatings (some < 10 μm and 10–30 μm particles) under the synergy of hydrophobic attraction and shearing. However, it did not fully recover back to the original balanced state before fragmentation, which was due to irreversible damage caused by excessive shearing. This research will be beneficial for in-depth understanding of agglomeration mechanisms of rhodochrosite fines and provide a basis for subsequent efficient flotation separation.
