In this work, novel branched palladium–gold (PdAu) bimetallic nanowires supported on graphene (PdAu/graphene) were fabricated at relatively low temperatures for the first time by a one-pot co-reduction method with the aid of poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium chloride). The structural characteristics of PdAu/graphene were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and element mapping observations. The electrochemical properties of the PdAu/graphene were characterised by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry (CA) in the formic acid oxidation reaction. Compared with a commercial Pd/C catalyst, the PdAu/graphene catalyst prepared in this work exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity including a higher oxidation current density, enhanced CO tolerance, and a more negative onset potential. Moreover, CA analyses demonstrated that PdAu/graphene shows higher stability than the Pd/C catalyst. The PdAu/graphene catalyst exhibited higher activity and strong poisoning resistance, which could be attributed to its special branched structure from PdAu nanowires.

Dispersion of Graphene in water is conducive to their practical applications as lubricating additive in water-based fluids due to their safety, low cost and environmental-friendliness. But owing to its hydrophobicity , it is difficult to achieve stable aqueous graphene suspension. Here, we use the Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate as bridging agent between hydrophilic Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and ethanolamine to prepare the amino-containing PEG (PEG-NH 2 ), followed by covalently grafting PEG-NH 2 onto the surface of carboxylaed graphene (G-COOH) nanosheets to synthesize the PEGlated graphene (PEG-G) via facile amidation under mild conditions. The physical, chemical properties of product were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared spectra (FTIR), Raman spectra , X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) and so on. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning probe microscope (SPM) were utilized to observed the morphology of G-COOH and PEG-G. The frictional properties of PEG-G as nanoadditive of water-based lubricant were characterized by UMT-3 tribometer, following with analyzes on wear surfaces by 3D laser scanning confocal microscopy . Based on the results of characterization, the PEG-G was prepared successfully and the dispersion shows superior friction-reducing and anti-wear properties owing to the formation of fluid adhesive film and carbon protective film, especially the concentration of PEG-G in water is 0.05 wt%.

Ni-rich cathodes especially with Ni content over 90 % are promising next-generation cathode materials for advanced high energy lithium − ion batteries. However, in comparison with Ni ≤ 80 % Ni-rich cathodes, these ultrahigh Ni-rich materials face more severe challenges in terms of harmful H2 − H3 phase transformations and structural degradation during cycling. Herein, we present a robust surface structure composted of defect-rich disordered structures and LiF/Li 2 SiO 3 coating for stabilizing the ultrahigh Ni-rich cathode LiNi 0.96 Co 0.03 Mn 0.01 O 2 (NCM96) by modification with (NH 4 ) 2 SiF 6 . The surface disordered structures including Li/TM mixing, spinel, and rock salt structure play a crucial role in inhibiting the irreversible H2-H3 phase transition and reducing lattice volume changes by lattice coherence effect. Moreover, the disordered surface in collaboration with the co-coating restrains the rapid growth of surface rock salt phase into the bulk, enhancing structural stability. The modified sample NSF-0.5 delivers a capacity of 238 mAh/g at 0.1C and maintains a capacity retention of 88.5 % at 0.5C after 100 cycles in half cell as well as 82.3 % at 1C after 300 cycles in full cell, significantly superior to the NCM96. The findings provide a simple and cost-effective surface modification strategy to enhance the structural stability and electrochemical performance of ultrahigh nickel cathodes for high-energy density LIBs.

In this paper, novel hydrogen-bonded metal-complex frameworks MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 were selected as adsorbents to adsorb iodine. MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 were prepared by layering method and mixed stirring method, respectively. The structures of the two HOFs were characterized in detail by XRD , BET, TGA and FT-IR. The adsorption behavior and adsorption capacity of MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 for iodine were investigated in detail. The experimental data showed that the equilibrium adsorption amounts of MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 were 205.51 mg/g and 172.86 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process of MPM-1-TIFSIX was conformed to be pseudo-second-order kinetic, while the adsorption process of HOF-21 was conformed to be pseudo-first-order kinetic. The results indicated that HOFs could be used as iodine capture and storage materials.

The combination of high conductivity and good stability against Li is not easy to achieve for solid electrolytes , hindering the development of high energy solid-state batteries . In this study, doped electrolytes of Li 3 P 1- x Sb x S 4-2.5 x O 2.5 x are successfully prepared via the high energy ball milling and subsequent heat treatment . Plenty of techniques like XRD , Raman, SEM, EDS and TEM are utilized to characterize the crystal structures, particle sizes, and morphologies of the glass-ceramic electrolytes. Among them, the Li 3 P 0.98 Sb 0.02 S 3.95 O 0.05 ( x = 0.02) exhibits the highest ionic conductivity (∼1.08 mS cm −1 ) at room temperature with an excellent stability against lithium.

Tin (Sn) is considered to be an ideal candidate for the anode of sodium ion batteries. However, the design of Sn-based electrodes with maintained long-term stability still remains challenging due to their huge volume expansion (≈420%) and easy pulverization during cycling. Herein, a facile and versatile strategy for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (GQD) edge-anchored Sn nanodots as the pillars into reduced graphene oxide blocks (NGQD/Sn-NG) for ultrafast and ultrastable sodium-ion storage is reported. Sn nanodots (2–5 nm) anchored at the edges of “octopus-like” GQDs via covalent Sn O C/Sn N C bonds function as the pillars that ensure fast Na-ion/electron transport across the graphene blocks. Moreover, the chemical and spatial (layered structure) confinements not only suppress Sn aggregation, but also function as physical barriers for buffering volume change upon sodiation/desodiation. Consequently, the NGQD/Sn-NG with high structural stability exhibits excellent rate performance (555 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and 198 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 ) and ultra-long cycling stability (184 mAh g −1 remaining even after 2000 cycles at 5 A g −1 ). The confinement-induced synthesis together with remarkable electrochemical performances should shed light on the practical application of highly attractive tin-based anodes for next generation rechargeable sodium batteries.

Thin film capacitors with large energy storage density and high breakdown strength are widely used in modern electronic fields. To solve the problems of interface effect and different polarization mechanism between matrix and fillers in conventional heterogeneous structure composite thin film capacitors, a new-type inorganic microcrystal-amorphous composite film of 0.92BaTiO 3 -0.08Bi(Ni 0.5 Zr 0.5 )O 3 (0.92BT-0.08BNZ) are prepared by sol–gel method. The amorphous matrix improving the breakdown strength is introduced into the film by adjusting preparation technology. Moreover, the nano-scale polar microcrystalline regions (fillers) are introduced and uniformly distributed in the amorphous matrix under various annealing temperatures. Through investigating the influence of different amorphous matrix and microcrystal trend on the dielectric and energy storage properties, it is found that synergistic effect between the polarized microcrystalline regions and the amorphous matrix are optimal at an annealed temperature of 550 ℃. The result shows that a high energy storage density of 103.7 J cm −3 and an efficiency of 88.3% are obtained under the electric field of 8.30MV cm −1 . Simultaneously, the excellent dielectric and energy storage stability is achieved in a wide temperature range of 20–200 °C. Conclusively, this microcrystal-amorphous composite film overcome the low energy storage capability and poor thermal stability of conventional composite films and provide a feasible way for preparing high energy storage performance films.

In this work, hollow CoS nanobox (noted as HCSN) have been successfully synthesized via annealing and hydrothermal process from zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) template. When tested as positive electrode materials in alkaline aqueous electrolyte, it shows high specific capacitance of 720 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 , good rate capability (82.1%) and good cycling stability with 86.4% capacitance retention over 10,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . To further demonstrate the advantages of our ZIF-67 derived materials, asymmetric energy storage device was assembled (HCSN//NC), where the as-prepared HCSN was employed as the anode and ZIF-67-derived nanoporous carbon (noted as NC) as the cathode. This device achieves high energy density (80 Wh kg −1 at a specific power density of 882 W kg −1 ), good rate capability (53.3 Wh kg −1 even at a specific power density of 7.9 kW kg −1 ) and long-term stability up to 10,000 cycles. More importantly, it could simultaneously light up 12 LEDs in parallel, demonstrating its potential in practical applications.

O3 phase layered oxides are highly attractive cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high capacity and decent initial Coulombic efficiency. However, their rate capability and long cycling life are unsatisfactory due to the narrow Na + transfer channel and irreversible phase transitions of O3 phase during sodiation/desodiation process. Constructing O3/P2 multiphase structures has been proven to be an effective strategy to overcome these challenges. In this study, we synthesized bi-phasic structured O3/P2 Na(Ni 2/9 Fe 1/3 Cu 1/9 Mn 1/3 ) 1- x Mn x O 2 ( x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05) materials through Mn doping during sodiation process. Benefiting from surface P2 phase layer with the enhanced Na + transfer dynamics and high structural stability , the Na(Ni 2/9 Fe 1/3 Cu 1/9 Mn 1/3 ) 0.98 Mn 0.02 O 2 (NFCM-M2) cathode delivers a reversible capacity of 139.1 mA h g −1 at 0.1 C, and retains 71.4 % of its original capacity after 300 cycles at 1 C. Our work provides useful guidance for designing multiphase cathodes and offers new insights into the structure-performance correlation for sodium-ion cathode materials.

We report a simple and low-cost approach to enhance the longstanding stability of the perovskite solar cell (PSC) through the application of low-temperature grown SnO 2 nanorod (NR) arrays. SnO 2 NR arrays were fabricated by an aqueous synthesis method in the presence of hydrochloric acid and using thin compact SnO 2 as seeds. The influence of HCl concentration on the photovoltaic (PV) performance of the SnO 2 NR array based PSC device was investigated. The formed crystalline SnO 2 nanorods with square transversal-sections were oriented on the FTO facets in a well-defined and perpendicular fashion at an optimal HCl concentration. The optimized width and length for SnO 2 nanorods were 30 nm and 150 nm, respectively. Consequently, efficient and stable SnO 2 nanorod based perovskite devices were obtained with an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.57%. The SnO 2 nanorod array based PSCs demonstrated considerably better ultraviolet (UV) and ambient air stability than the planar SnO 2 and notably mesoporous TiO 2 solar cells. This paper provides a prospective scheme to grow high-quality three-dimensional SnO 2 nanorod arrays for highly stable and efficient PSCs.

A series of single crystalline spinel LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) cathode materials were synthesized in virtue of a facile solution-combustion approach. The morphology and the structure of all as-prepared samples were synthetically investigated with the X-ray diffraction (XRD), the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). According to these investigation results, Ni-doping content has a significant impact on the control of morphology and crystalline structure, hence the as-prepared LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 samples exhibit polyhedral morphology with high crystallinity and average size of 100–200 nm. This unique polyhedral crystal structure has numerous surfaces fitting the (111) crystalline orientation which exhibit the smallest Mn dissolution in electrolytes, whilst stabilizing the spinel framework. Owing to the merits of both single crystalline polyhedral structure and appropriate Ni-doping, the as-obtained LiNi x Mn 2- x O 4 cathodes reveal enhanced rate capability coupled with long cycling performance. In especial, the LiNi 0.08 Mn 1.92 O 4 presents a initial discharge capacity of 101.3 mAh/g and ultralong cycle stability up to 2000 cycles at 1C, whilst showing enhanced cycle performance when temperature increases to 55 °C. Excellent capacity retention of 72% and 63% is also obtained after 1000 cycles even at high current rate of 5C and 10C. This study may contribute to an effective candidate approach for the obvious improvement on lithium ion batteries in term of electrochemical activity.
