Ceramic/polymer composites have great potential to achieve the concomitant enhancement of both dielectric constant and breakdown field while maintaining other superior properties of the polymer matrix , ideal for elastomer sensors, actuators, capacitive energy storage, and many other applications. However, material incompatibility between the ceramic filler and the polymer matrix often leads to void formation , particle aggregation and phase separation, with significantly degraded performance. Herein, through surface modification, co-doped TiO 2 particles were uniformly dispersed and bridged onto the silicone rubber matrix via a silane coupling agent for fabricating composites via mechanical mixing and hot-pressing. The synthesized composites exhibit enhanced dielectric constant, increased from 2.78 to 5.06 when 50 wt% co-doped TiO 2 particles are incorporated. Their dielectric loss is less than 0.001 in a broad frequency range. Theoretical modelling and experimental results reveal that the morphology and dispersion state of co-doped TiO 2 particles were crucial to the dielectric properties of the silicone rubber-based composites. Besides, the composites are thermally stable up to 400 °C. Significantly increased tensile strength (612 kPa) and elongation at break (330%) were obtained for the composite incorporated with 30 wt% co-doped TiO 2 particles, accompanied by a moderate increased elastic module (540 kPa). Such composites have the potential for different applications.

Efficient and low-cost catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation are needed for pollution prevention and environmental remediation. In this work, PMS activation by CoFe layered double hydroxide (CoFe-LDH) was promoted by compositing with biochar (BC). The characterization and catalytic performance of BC, CoFe-LDH, and BC@CoFe-LDH composite (BC-LDH) were investigated. The results indicated that BC could act as a catalyst carrier and electron mediator, which improved the physicochemical properties of CoFe-LDH and promoted the redox cycle of transition metals. The redox-active moieties (RAMs) of BC, especially the reduced functional groups (e.g., phenolic –OH), played an important role in the reduction of Co(III) and Fe(III). Remarkably, benefiting from the synergistic effect between BC and CoFe-LDH, the resulting BC-LDH exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability for PMS activation. More reactive oxygen species (ROS) were produced in BC-LDH/PMS system. As a result, 100% of dimethyl phthalate (DMP, 10 mg L −1 ) degradation efficiency was achieved within 60 min in BC-LDH/PMS system, while only 62% in CoFe-LDH/PMS system. The intermediates of DMP degradation were identified and the degradation pathways were proposed. Our findings are expected to provide new insights into the rational design and application of BC materials and transition metals/PMS system for environmental remediation.

The production of functionalized anilines by chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes occupies an important position in the chemical industries. Recently, cobalt and nitrogen codoped carbon (Co–N–C) catalysts have been reported to show outstanding catalytic performance in this process, whereas the nature of their active sites is still at the center of intense debate. In this paper, based on the well-controlled experiments on four types of typical Co–N–C materials derived from different methodologies, several unusual generalities in the hydrogenation of nitroarenes are clearly revealed, including protic-solvent dependence, antipoisoning, acid resistance, and reversible deactivation. Further investigations indicate that the single-atom species Co–Nx are the main active sites of the Co–N–C catalysts in this chemoselective hydrogenation process. The present work sheds light on the mechanism study on the metal–N–C catalysts and further contributes to the rational design of the high-performance single-atom catalysts.

Developing carbon-based nanomaterials with high capacity and stable structure as anode materials is of great significance for practical application in electronic devices. Herein, we report a facile self-template strategy to prepare hollow porous nitrogen-doped carbon embedded with ultrafine Co nanoparticles (Co@NC) based on the abundant hydroxyl functional groups on the surface of polydopamine (PDA) that can effectively anchor metal ions. The unique hollow porous structure affords large surface areas, adequate internal void space and short ion transport channels. Ultrafine Co nanoparticles embedded into hollow porous nitrogen-doped carbon offer good electronic conductivity and provide rich active sites for lithium ion adsorption (pseudocapacitance behavior) through electron transfer from metal to carbon. As the anode, Co@NC exhibited excellent cycling stability (627.5 mA h g−1 after 300 cycles at 0.5 A g−1) and remarkable rate performance (233.6 mA h g−1 at 5 A g−1). Benefiting from the unique design of the structure, Co@NC manifested a prospective anode material for stable, safe and high capacity lithium storage. Our work provides an effective strategy to synthesize hollow porous carbon embedded with ultrafine Co nanoparticles for enhancing the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries.

Dielectric ceramics have attracted ever-increasing interest in energy storage applications due to their high-power density and fast charge–discharge speed. In particular, AgNbO 3 -based antiferroelectric ceramics are considered potential substitutes for lead-based ceramics. AgNbO 3 ceramics sintered with fine hydrothermal-synthesized powders show the advantage of high breakdown strength. However, the fine grains lead to the decreased polarization, which harms the recoverable energy density. In this work, a little amount over-stoichiometrical WO 3 and MnO 2 were introduced to synergistically improve the polarization and dielectric breakdown strength of obtained AgNbO 3 ceramics. The dependences of structures and dielectric properties on WO 3 doping were explored. A maximum polarization of 49.4 μC/cm 2 and E b as large as 285 kV/cm were achieved in 0.1 wt % WO 3 and MnO 2 co-doped AgNbO 3 ceramic. The corresponding W rec reached 2.75 J/cm 3 , which was 1.3 times larger than that of pristine AgNbO 3 ceramics. Moreover, benign thermal stability with W rec = 2.2–2.7 J/cm 3 over 30–150 °C at 240 kV cm −1 was also achieved in 0.1 wt.% WO 3 and MnO 2 co-doped AgNbO 3 ceramics.

Abstract Spherical carbonaceous materials are considered as ideal electrode materials for supercapacitors because of their high electrical conductivity and excellent electrochemical and mechanical stability. However, their overall performances are yet to be enhanced to meet the future demands. Herein, we prepared a supercapacitive carbon microsphere with hierarchical porous structure and doped them with both nitrogen and phosphor. This was achieved by a facile hydrothermal treatment of cyclodextrin, followed by pyrolysis in the presence of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and finally by KOH activation. Benefiting from the porous microspheres structure, large surface area, and rich nitrogen and phosphorus heteroatoms, the as-prepared materials demonstrated excellent capacitive performance, with a specific capacitance of 182 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 and good rate performance as well as 100% retention after repeated charging and discharging for 5000 cycles, which are superior to the carbon microspheres without heteroatom doping.

Sequential immobilization of multiple enzymes can not merely improve the enzymatic activity and enzyme stability but also facilitate the recovery for reuse, well imitating the natural enzyme complexes. Here, we developed a novel approach of preparing sequential multienzyme nanomachineries based on chemical crosslinking and protein assembly, and then characterized the nanodevice. In the preparation process, Kg BDH-SC (SpyCatcher-fused (2 R ,3 R )-2,3-butanediol hydrogenase) was firstly immobilized onto the functionalized silicon dioxide nanoparticles with glutaraldehyde, and then FDH-ST (SpyTag-fused formate hydrogenase) was immobilized by the spontaneous protein reaction between SpyTag and SpyCatcher to achieve the sequential co-immobilized enzymes FDH-ST-SC- Kg BDH@SiO 2 , which can asymmetrically reduce 2-hydroxyacetophenone to ( R )-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol by cofactor regeneration. In comparison to the mixture of free enzymes, the sequential co-immobilized enzymes created under the design conditions performed around 50% activity recovery. Furthermore, FDH-ST-SC- Kg BDH@SiO 2 presented wider pH tolerance and greater organic solvents tolerance than the mixture of free enzymes as well as retained 51.7% of overall activity after being recycled eight times. Finally, the sequential co-immobilized enzyme enabled the biosynthesis of ( R )-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol from 80 mM 2-hydroxyacetophenone in the phosphate buffer reaction system, with 87.4% yield and over 99% optical purity.

The effective treatment of oily wastewater is of great significance for the protection of the ecological environment and human health. Aiming to prepare a membrane with excellent antifouling properties, a new active antifouling carbon cloth@Ni-Co LDH/Ag (CC@LDH/Ag) membrane was reported here via in situ hydrothermal growth and followed photo-deposition methods. The effects of Ag deposition on self-cleaning ability and surface wettability of CC@LDH/Ag membrane were studied. The experimental results showed CC@LDH/Ag membrane is superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic, and exhibited high separation efficiency (>98.6%) and high flux (6551–22,050 L m −2 h −1 ) for different kinds of oil/water mixtures. Moreover, CC@LDH/Ag membrane also displayed excellent environmental and mechanical durability. Good self-cleaning ability enabled CC@LDH/Ag membrane to be separated at least 30 times, and still maintained high separation performance. The self-cleaning CC@LDH/Ag membrane may hold great application prospects in oily wastewater remediation.

Summary Herein, N, S-co-doped graphene hydrogel (N/SGH) was first prepared by one-pot feasible hydrothermal approach using thiourea as a dopant for both N and S sources. And then, polyaniline (PANI) was grown on the surface of N, S-co-doped graphene hydrogel via simple adsorption of aniline monomer and in situ polymerization process. The N, S-co-doped graphene/polyaniline (N/SGH/PANI) composite hydrogel was fabricated as a free-standing and binder-free electrode material. Due to the co-doped synergistic effect, the N/SGH electrode exhibited enhanced electrochemical performances. The N/SGH electrode displays a specific capacitance of 130.4 F/g at 0.5 A/g. Compared with pure graphene hydrogel (GH), the specific capacitance of N/SGH and N-doped graphene (NGH) electrodes at 0.5 A/g increased by 53% and 20%, respectively. PANI pseudocapacitor material was introduced to further improve its capacitive performance. The resultant N/SGH/PANI composite electrode could achieve a max specific capacitance of 236.5 F/g at 0.5 A/g. In addition, N/SGH/PANI composite electrode showed stable cycle performance with the capacity retention of 95.1% after 1000 cycles performed at 10 A/g. Those provide a fabrication strategy for the design of high-performance supercapacitors electrode materials.

Though p-type NiO possesses excellent catalytic oxidation property toward volatile organic compounds (VOCs), intrinsic low sensitivity of NiO (arising from the hole accumulation layer configuration in ambient air atmosphere sensor) restricts its promising applications in VOCs detection. In this study, Sc and Li were proposed to modulate the (surface) properties of NiO nanosheet-flowers based sensors. At the optimal 2 at.% Sc and 5 at.% Li doping ratio (Ni 0.93 Sc 0.02 Li 0.05 O), the sensitivity to 100 ppm ethanol is 118.4 (105 times higher than that of pure NiO), which is comparable to or even higher than most of reported NiO based sensors. Moreover, Ni 0.93 Sc 0.02 Li 0.05 O sensor exhibits a low detection limit of 10 ppb, excellent repeatability and long-term stability (∼30 % decline of response after 7 months). Apart from regulating the carrier concentration, defect characterizations indicate a noticeable increase of stabilized surface oxygen vacancy (O V ) defects and Ni 3+ cations by Sc 3+ and Li + co-doping, which greatly facilitate the adsorption of VOCs molecule (revealed by density functional theory calculation) as well as the subsequent VOCs/NiO interfacial charge interaction, thus contribute to the superior sensing performances. This work demonstrates that co-doping offers an effective avenue for boosting the performances of (p-type) oxide sensors.

In this work, Ni–Co alloy nanoparticles (NPs) on La-doped SiO2 showed excellent selectivity toward ethanol for direct ethanol synthesis via CO hydrogenation. Over the catalyst with an optimal ratio of Ni/Co, the total alcohol selectivity reached 33.5%, of which ethanol occupied 47.0 wt %. The results demonstrated that the interaction between Co and Ni improved the ability to activate H2 and CO and adjusted the amount of the dissociatively and associatively adsorbed CO. Besides, the mutual dilution of nickel and cobalt in Ni–Co alloy NPs effectively reduced the isolated Co or Ni-clusters; thus, the formation of heavy hydrocarbons was suppressed. In the reaction process, Ni@Co–Co2C, a core–shell composite with a nickel core and Co–Co2C shell, was formed, which suppressed the loss of nickel species. Moreover, with the reaction going on, a small amount of poorly alloyed Co-clusters would be covered gradually by the formed coke, resulting in an increase in alcohol selectivity.

Multi-drug chemotherapy has been one of the most popular strategies for the treatment of malignant tumors, and has achieved desirable therapeutic outcomes. The objective of the present study is to develop biodegradable PCEC nanoparticles (NPs) for the co-delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) and curcumin (CUR), and investigate the antitumor effect of the drug delivery system (DDS: PTX-CUR-NPs) against breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. The prepared PTX-CUR-NPs had a small size of 27.97 ± 1.87 nm with a low polydispersity index (PDI, 0.197 ± 0.040). The results exhibited slow release of PTX and CUR from the DDS without any burst effect. Further, the PTX-CUR-NPs displayed a dose-dependent cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cells with a higher apoptosis rate (64.29% ± 1.97%) as compared to that of free drugs (PTX + CUR, 34.21% ± 0.81%). The cellular uptake study revealed that the drug loaded PCEC polymeric nanoparticles were more readily uptaken by tumor cells in vitro. To evaluate the in vivo anti-tumor effect, the PTX-CUR-NPs were intravenously administered to BALB/c nude mouse xenografted with MCF-7 cells and the results exhibited significant inhibition of tumor growth with prolonged survival time and reduced side effect when compared with free drugs (PTX + CUR). Moreover, the administration of PTX-CUR-NPs treatment led to lower Ki67 expression (p < 0.05), and enhanced TUNEL positivity (higher apoptosis, p < 0.01) in tumor cells as compared to other treatment groups, suggesting the therapeutic efficacy of the DDS. Altogether, the present study suggests that the DDS PTX-CUR-NPs could be employed for the effective treatment of breast cancers in near future.
