Zn 2 SnO 4 @C/Sn composites were synthesized via the rapid calcination of a zinc-tin binary MOF under a reducing atmosphere for 1 min. Nanometal Sn, which has a good conductivity, and Zn 2 SnO 4 nanoparticles were assembled into secondary particles in the synthesized composites. The metal Sn acted as an active material and a conductive agent. The nanosized Zn 2 SnO 4 @C/Sn composites reduced the volume expansion and enhanced the electrochemical performance. Additionally, the carbon provided buffer spaces for the volume expansion of the active material. The metal Sn grew into large particles as the calcination time increased, which transformed the lithium storage process from surface controlled to diffusion controlled. When the Zn 2 SnO 4 @C/Sn composites were used as anode materials for LIBs , a superior electrochemical performance was achieved. A reversible capacity of up to 1140 mA h g −1 was obtained at a current density of 100 mA g −1 after 100 cycles. The reason for the capacity fading in the samples that were calcined for a long time was also analyzed, and the results might be helpful for researchers when designing new anode materials.

In this study, a cobalt-based mesoporous carbon material (Co@C) was prepared by self-assembly method and impregnation method, and carboxyl functionalization was carried out to obtain COOH-Co@C. Then, the penicillinase (Pen X) was immobilized on the carrier material by covalent binding. The methylene blue was electropolymerized onto the glassy carbon electrode, and then the immobilized enzyme material was modified onto the modified electrode to prepare a biosensor. After optimization of experimental conditions, the differential pulse method was used to detect penicillin sodium (Pen G) as an antibiotic model. Notably, measurement was performed without any pH redox probe, and a low limit of detection was obtained. The results showed that when the concentration of Pen G was 0.1–10 ng mL −1 , the corresponding current and concentration of the sensor showed a good linear relationship. The linear equation is y = 0.3881x + 17.20 ( r 2 = 0.9974); when the concentration range is 10–100 ng mL −1 , the linear equation is y = 0.1170x + 19.73 ( r 2 = 0.9959). The limit of detection is 0.64 ng mL −1 . The sensor is not only simple to prepare but also has high sensitivity and accurate detection. Finally, using the spike method, the actual sample detection was successfully realized.

The hydrogen evolution reaction activity of carbon-supported Pt catalyst is highly dependent on Pt–C interfaces. Herein, we focus on the relationships between Pt activity and N/O-functionalized hollow carbon sphere (HCS) substrate in acidic media. The electrochemical dissolution of Pt counter electrode is performed to prepare Pt nanoparticles in low loading. The N groups are beneficial for homogeneously sized Pt nanoparticles, whereas the O groups lead to aggregated nanoparticles. Moreover, the proper electronegativity of the N groups may enable capturing of protons to create proton-rich Pt–C interfaces and transfer them onto the Pt sites. The O groups may also capture protons by hydrogen bonding, but the subsequent release of protons is more difficult due to a stronger electronegativity and result in an inferior Pt activity. Consequently, the N-doped HCS with a low Pt loading (1.7 μg cm–2 and 0.05 wt %) possesses a higher intrinsic activity compared with Pt on O-doped HCS. Moreover, it outperforms the commercial 20% Pt/C with a stable operation for 12 h. This work may provide suggestions for constructing the advantageous Pt–C interfaces by proper functional groups for high catalytic efficiencies.

With the aim of enhancing the electrochemical kinetics and capacity of the TiO2 electrode for Na ion batteries (NIBs), we have designed a hybrid material of carbon-coated TiO2 mesocrystals anchored on reduced graphene oxide (TiO2@C-rGO). Such hybrid nanostructures are fabricated through a facile one-step route including in situ growth of oriented self-assembly of TiO2 mesocrystals on GO. TiO2@C-rGO possesses a very large surface area (279 m2 g–1), mesoporous nature, and single-crystal-like structure. It is also found that the capacity of TiO2 electrode for NIBs could be improved by carbon coating at a low current rate, but pure TiO2 shows better rate performance than that of TiO2@C. Remarkably, the enhanced electrochemical kinetics and large capacity can be simultaneously achieved by designing hybrid material. The hybrid nanostructures exhibit a highly reversible capacity of 300 mAh g–1 at 100 mA g–1, superior rate capability, and long-term cycling stability (a stable capacity of 159 mAh g–1 can be maintained after 1000 cycles at 1 A g–1). The superior Na ion storage of TiO2@C-rGO is largely ascribed to the robust architecture of well-dispersed carbon-coated mesoporous TiO2 mesocrystals anchored on conductive graphene network, leading to enhanced electrochemical kinetics and offering enough active sites for the Na ion to locate.

Lithium-Sulfur Batteries (LiSBs) are prevented to apply in practice by the irreversible loss from the cathode and difficult conversation kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). An ideal S host material should possess high conductivity and sufficiently dispersed catalytic active sites to precisely restore the dissolved LiPSs to the surface of the S host material. In traditional catalyst design, porous carbonaceous materials are often selected as carriers for the nano-catalytic activity sites. However, non-polar pure carbon interfaces, where without nano-catalytic activity sites covered, have a very weak affinity to LiPSs. Here, we use ammonia as a nitrogen source to anneal the reduced aerogel (graphene oxide (rGO) supported nano-TiO 2 ) at high temperatures. The N element is atomically doped into the lattice of the carbon matrix, and the nano-TiO 2 is converted to nano-TiN. A hierarchically porous and high conductivity TiN/N-C is prepared, in which the nano-TiN is well dispersed on the surface of N-doped rGO as an active center for catalyzing LiPSs conversion. The doped-N elements significantly increase the proportion of the polar surface. The S@TiN/N-C composite cathode delivered an excellent long-life cycling performance, and the reversible discharge specific capacity faded from 1224 ± 16 to 675 ± 31 mAh g −1 after 930 cycles. More importantly, after 150 cycles with a high S loading, a reversible areal capacity of 4.1 mAh cm −2 can be achieved.

Background. An in vitro method to assess human islets could prevent transplantation of nonviable islets and facilitate the optimization of islet preparation. We hypothesize that glucose-stimulated cytochrome c reduction and oxygen consumption by human islets can be used as predictors of transplant success. Methods. Isolated human islets were obtained from research-grade pancreata. Using a previously developed islet flow culture system, the response of cytochrome c reduction and oxygen consumption to glucose was compared to the ability of islets transplanted into nondiabetic NOD-SCID mice to secrete C-peptide in response to a glucose tolerance test conducted 7 days following transplant (n=10). Results. In vitro responses by human islets were qualitatively similar to those seen in rat islets: glucose increased both oxygen consumption and cytochrome c reduction. However, the responses were smaller in magnitude and quite variable. Scatter plots of C-peptide and quantiles for ln(C-peptide) indicated that 12 ng/ml could be used as threshold of transplant success with which to evaluate the diagnostic potential of cytochrome c and oxygen consumption. Data was analyzed by generating receiver operating curves and the area under the curve was 0.889 (95% CI: 0.645–1.000) and 0.738 (95% CI: 0.413–1.000) for cytochrome c reuction and oxygen consumption respectively (1 indicates absolute predictive capability and 0.5 indicates no predictive capability). Conclusions. The detection of glucose-stimulated cytochrome c reduction and oxygen consumption may have utility as criteria for the assessment of human islet quality.

SiO 2 /C composites using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as carbon sources are prepared successfully via a facile and low-cost approach. In this paper, the effect of four coating ratios on the SiO 2 /C materials is investigated. When tested as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the samples possessing a high carbon content display a better electrochemical stability. The high-content PVC pyrolytic carbon can provide a malleable and high electrical conductivity carbon layer for SiO 2 , which has more defects and benefits the diffusion of Li ions between the electrolyte and SiO 2 /C. However, considering the low capacity of the PVC pyrolytic carbon, a carbon content of 25% was chosen as the best coating ratio. This SiO 2 /C electrode shows a reversible capacity of 695 mAh g −1 at a current density of 100 mA g −1 after 200 cycles, with a capacity retention of 86.4% after the first cycle. The electrode also displays a discharge capacity of 535 mAh g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . Taking into consideration the facileness and the low cost of the synthetic method, this SiO 2 /C composite anode material may have a great prospect of industrialization.

Graphical NIB news : MoS 2 anchored on nitrogen-doped MXene nanosheets with carbon coating were prepared and applied in Na-ion batteries (NIBs). It remained at ∼308 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 after 300 cycles and showed higher rate performance of ∼189 mAh g −1 at 4 A g −1 . The MoS 2 @N-MXene/C heterogeneous nanosheets showed enhanced pseudocapacitance effects of 84.5 % at a scan rate of 2 mV s −1 according to CV curves simulation. Currently, Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have emerged as a new generation of energy storage devices. However, due to the lack of suitable anode materials, the large-scale practical application of NIBs is still greatly limited. Therefore, to address this issue, an effective strategy towards an advanced NIBs anode was developed by achieving MoS 2 anchored on nitrogen-doped MXene nanosheets with carbon coating (shorten as MoS 2 @N-MXene/C). The structure, surface chemistry state and micromorphology of MoS 2 @N-MXene/C were carefully analyzed and characterized by XRD, XPS and SEM/TEM, respectively. It was shown that MoS 2 was loaded on N-MXene to form a heterogeneous nanosheets structure. When applied to the anode of NIBs, MoS 2 @N-MXene/C delivered ∼189 mAh g −1 at 4 A g −1 and remained at ∼308 mAh g −1 after 300 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 . Moreover, based on the simulation and calculation from CV curves, the enhanced electrochemical performances of MoS 2 @N-MXene/C was assigned to its high pseudocapacitance-dominated contribution (84.5 % at a scan rate of 2 mV s −1 ). Therefore, owing to the highly conductive N-MXene and the actively anchored MoS 2 , MoS 2 @N-MXene/C could effectively provide efficient channels for charge transfer and ionic diffusion. The presented design strategy may provide a guidance for developing more-efficient NIBs anode.

Multi-component design for constructing heterogeneous interfaces has emerged as a key strategy to optimize electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. However, precise structural control during heterogeneous interface construction remains a significant challenge. In this study, CNFs@Co/C fibers with tunable cavity size were prepared by coaxial electrospinning and heat treatment. Abundant heterogeneous interfaces between CNFs and metallic Co particles significantly enhance interfacial polarization. The impedance matching of CNFs@Co/C fibers can be effectively tuned by regulating the cavity size. Optimized impedance matching helps more EMWs enter the material and be lost. The results demonstrate that CNFs@Co/C fibers with an appropriate cavity size exhibit outstanding EMW absorption capabilities, attaining a maximum reflection loss of −56.63 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 7.84 GHz. Furthermore, the radar stealth performance of the samples was assessed through simulations conducted under far-field conditions. The radar cross section (RCS) value of CNFs@Co/C-2 is less than -10 dB m2 over the entire test range, and the maximum RCS attenuation at θ = 0° could reach 24.09 dB m2. This study provides essential guidance for the development and production of lightweight materials featuring a hollow structure for advanced EMW absorption applications.

The coordination calcination method is used to form a coordination complex between Co 2 + and thiophene, which is adsorbed on carbon black (CB) and then calcined to prepare Co-S-C/CB single atom catalyst. Co-S-C/CB could efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by forming Co-S 3 coordination structure and Co-S 3 is the active site for activating PMS. Electron rich region was formed on the Co atom and the Co atom could keep in a low valence state during the catalytic process and donate electrons to PMS to produce radicals (•OH and SO 4 •- ) through a single-electron-reduction. Co-S-C/CB could not only promote PMS to generate •OH and SO 4 •- , but also inhibit the generation of 1 O 2 and O 2 •- . The radical pathway has the lowest Gibbs free energy (ΔG) compared to the 1 O 2 pathway and the Co(IV)=O pathway. Therefore, Co-S-C/CB could regulate the radical pathway of PMS. •OH and SO 4 •- are mainly responsible for the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB). Co-S-C/CB could be applied to efficiently degrade various organic pollutants and has good stability. Macro preparation of Co-S-C/CB could be achieved from both the preparation process and raw material aspects.

This study investigates the influence of aluminum incorporation on the chemical composition, morphology, silicate chain structure, and functional groups of C(-A)-S-H gel through micro- and nanoscale characterization. Based on experimental data, an atomic-scale structural model was constructed to closely reflect realistic Ca/Si and Al/Si ratios as well as Q n distributions, and to explore the effects of aluminum content on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of C-A-S-H at the atomic level. Results show that at low Al/Si ratios, Al can be effectively incorporated into the C-S-H gel; however, when Al/Si exceeds 0.10, Al-containing secondary phases start to precipitate. Al atoms bridge defects in silicate chains, extend the length of aluminosilicate chains, and form crosslinking structures along the z direction, with the degree of crosslinking increasing with Al content. Simulation results further indicate that Al incorporation restricts the diffusion pathways of interlayer water molecules, thereby enhancing gel structural integrity. Meanwhile, the formation of a three-dimensional crosslinking network substantially improves mechanical performance, significantly increasing Young's modulus and tensile strength in the y and z directions—especially enhancing interlayer cohesion and ductility along the z direction . Under tensile loading, stress-induced hydrolysis and bond depolymerization accelerate bond cleavage and hydroxyl formation within the C-A-S-H.

Optimizing the electronic structures of metal sites is desirable for high intrinsic activity. Incorporated metal atoms in a carbon substrate can establish strong electronic interaction with loaded metal oxides. However, this structure may be unstable in a harsh oxygen evolution reaction (OER) environment. Herein, we take the NiSAFe sample of Ni–N–C supported Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) as an example. Both in situ and ex situ characterizations show that the OER activation process facilitates the transformation of Ni single atoms into atomically dispersed NiOOH active species while retaining Fe2O3 NPs. Accordingly, abundant structural defects are formed in the carbon support, enhancing electron transfer and upshifting the d-band center of the NiFe catalyst. As a result, the catalyst exhibits accelerated OER kinetics and optimized adsorption energies for reaction intermediates, delivering outstanding intrinsic activity. A low overpotential of 230 mV at 10 mA cm–2 and a turnover frequency (TOF) more than 9 times higher than that of commercial RuO2 are achieved.
