Transitional metal phosphides (TMPs) anode materials usually have large volume change and weak diffusion kinetics, leading to poor cycle stability. Combining TMPs with conductive carbon matrix has been widely used to boost sodium storage. However, it still needs to make efforts in the rational and facile design of nano/micro-structural TMPs/carbon hybrid anode material. Herein, a MOFs-derived strategy is developed to synthesize porous yolk–shell MoP/Cu 3 P@carbon microcages (MoP/Cu 3 P@C) through in situ and confined phosphidation reaction as a high-performance sodium-ion batteries anode. This yolk–shell structure can offer adequate internal space to buffer the large volume expansion, shorten diffusion distance, and create more active sites of Na + . Especially, the Cu nanoparticles generated from Cu 3 P have remarkable electronic conductivity of 5.7 × 10 7 S m −1 (the second most conductive metal) to benefit transporting electrons. And the introduction of Mo (MoP has high theoretical capacity of 633 mA h g −1 ) can enhance the reversible capacity of the whole anode material. Therefore, these porous yolk–shell MoP/Cu 3 P@carbon microcages possess excellent reversible capacity of 307.8 mA h g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 and extraordinary cycle stability of 132.1 mA h g −1 at 5.0 A g −1 even after 6000 cycles.

The interface performance of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) is one of the key factors that affect their properties. In order to improve the interface adhesion between CF and epoxy (EP), a green method is proposed. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and graphene oxide (GO) are introduced to the CF surface through the hydrogen bonds, and they can form high micromechanical interlocking composite architectures, which can enhance the micromechanical interaction in the interface of CF and EP. It is found that CMC and GO can significantly improve the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of EP/CF composite. This means that it has great potential to improve the interface of CFRPs and strengthen their performance by natural cellulose fibers. This modification method does no harm to CF and is environmental friendliness, which lays a research foundation for using natural cellulose to enhance the interface performance of CFRPs.

Carbon nanotubes are widely applied in electronics, which offers great potential for enhancing the activity of redox enzyme. In this work, polyimide (PI) was blended with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and then electrospun into nanofibers for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a redox enzyme. SEM and TEM were used to characterize the surface morphology of the PI/MWCNTs nanofibers and to analyze the protruding parts induced by the blending of MWCNT. The results indicate that, compared to the virgin PI nanofibers, the blending of MWCNTs increases the retention activity of immobilized HRP from 2.38% to 12.50%. Circular dichroism and UV–vis molecular absorption spectrometry were used to explore the interactions between HRP and MWCNTs . It seems that MWCNTs increase the enzyme activity by the facilitation of electron transfer among the catalytic intermediates “HRP I”, “HRP II” and MWCNTs.

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.

The sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) hinders the commercialization of Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Manipulating the electronic structure of electrocatalysts to optimize the adsorption energy of oxygen-containing intermediates during the 4e − ORR offers a practical route toward improving ORR kinetics. Herein, we designed a novel ORR electrocatalyst containing Co single atoms and nanoparticles supported by carbon dots-derived carbon nanoflowers (Co SAs/NPs CNF). Co SAs/NPs CNF possessed a very high ORR activity ( E 1/2 of the Co SAs/NPs CNF catalyst is 0.83 V ( vs. RHE)), and outstanding catalytic performance and stability when used as the air-electrode catalyst in rechargeable ZABs (152.32 mW cm −2 , 1000.58 mWh g Zn −1 , and over 1300 cycles at a current density of 5 mA cm −2 ). The Co SAs and Co NPs cooperated to improve electron and proton transfer processes during ORR. Theoretical calculations revealed that the presence of adjacent Co NPs optimized the electronic structure of the isolated Co-N 4 sites, significantly lowering the energy barriers for the rate-determining step in ORR (adsorption of *OOH) and thereby delivering outstanding ORR performance. This work reveals that the combination of supported single-atom sites and metal nanoparticles can be highly beneficial for ORR electrocatalysis , outperforming catalysts containing only Co SAs or Co NPs.

A series of well-dispersed bimetallic Pd@Pt nanodendrites uniformly supported on XC-72 carbon black are fabricated by using different capping agents. These capping agents are essential for the branched morphology control. However, the surfactant adsorbed on the nanodendrites surface blocks the access of reactant molecules to the active surface sites, and the catalytic activities of these bimetallic nanodendrites are significantly restricted. Herein, a facile reflux procedure to effectively remove the capping agent molecules without significantly affecting their sizes is reported for activating supported nanocatalysts. More significantly, the structure and morphology of the nanodendrites can also be retained, enhancing the numbers of active surface sites, catalytic activity and stability toward methanol and ethanol electro-oxidation reactions. The as-obtained hot water reflux-treated Pd@Pt/C catalyst manifests superior catalytic activity and stability both in terms of surface and mass specific activities, as compared to the untreated catalysts and the commercial Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts. We anticipate that this effective and facile removal method has more general applicability to highly active nanocatalysts prepared with various surfactants, and should lead to improvements in environmental protection and energy production.

A series of LiFe 1− x Mn x PO 4 /C composites were successfully synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method. The effects of doped Mn on their micro-structures and electrochemical performances were investigated. The XRD results indicate that Mn doping cannot change the olivine lattice type of LiFePO 4 . Appropriate Mn doping can reduce the particle size of LiFePO 4 . The electrochemical performance data show that the electrochemical performances of the composite materials are enhanced at first and then decrease as the doping amount of Mn increases. Both the CV and EIS results illustrate that a small amount of doped Mn will reduce the electrode polarization and electrochemical impedance of the samples and simultaneously improve the electrochemical performance. Among all the samples, the LiFe 0.98 Mn 0.02 PO 4 /C sample has a desirable electrochemical performance, with its specific discharge capacity reaching 156.0 mAh g −1 at a rate of 0.1 C. Even at a high rate of 5 C, it can still reach 110.0 mAh g −1 . All the results indicate that an appropriate amount of doped Mn has an emphatic effect on the electrochemical performance of LiFePO 4 /C.

Controllably mounting foreign atoms on the surfaces of earth-abundant electrocatalysts strongly improve their surface electronic properties for optimizing the catalytic performance of surficial sites to an unusual level, and provides a good platform to gain deep insights into catalytic reactions . The present work describes, employing ultrafine W 2 C nanoislands (average size: 2.3 nm) monodispersed on the N, P dual-doped carbon frameworks as a model system, how to regulate the atomic phosphorous-mounting effect on the surfaces of W 2 C to derive an active and stable P-mounting W 2 C (WCP) catalyst for both acidic and alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Since in situ phosphorus substitution into carbon sites of preformed W 2 C nanoislands gradually proceeds from surfaces to solids, so that using a proper amount of phosphorus sources can readily control the surface mounting level to avoid the mass P-doping into the bulk. By this way, the activity per active site of WCP catalyst with robust stability can be optimized to 0.07 and 0.56 H 2 s −1 at –200 mV overpotential in acid and base, respectively, which reach up to the several-fold of pure-phase W 2 C (0.01 and 0.05 H 2 s −1 ). Theoretical investigations suggest that compared with solid P doping, the P mounting on W 2 C surface can more remarkably enhance its metallicity and decrease the hydrogen release barrier. This finding disclosed a key correlation between surface foreign atom-mounting and catalytic activity , and suggested a logical extension to other earth-abundant catalysts for various catalytic reactions .

A novel amine-based functionalization method was developed to improve the interfacial adhesion between TiO 2 NWs and CFs in supercritical water. The microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of CFs were investigated. It was found that introducing hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) dendrimers and branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) on CF could increase significantly the adhesion strength between CF and TiO 2 NWs and their interfacial shear strength with epoxy resin, and the order is CF-PEI-TiO 2 NWs > CF-HMTA-TiO 2 NWs > CF-COOH-TiO 2 NWs > CF-TiO 2 NW. Meanwhile, the reinforcing mechanisms and interfacial failure modes have also been discussed. We believe that these effective methods may provide theoretical foundation for the preparation of high performance composite materials.

Magnetic ionic liquids (MILs), combines the general properties of ionic liquid with magnetic properties, are starting to attract interest in the field of propane/propylene separation and CO 2 capture. Solubility data of propane, propylene, cyclopropane and CO 2 in magnetic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate [bmim][FeCl 4 ] at temperatures of (303, 313, 323, 333, 343) K and pressures up to 3300 kPa were determined in the present work. The relative expanded uncertainty of solubility measurement is estimated to be less than 4% with a level of confidence of 95%. The Henry’s constants for the four gases in [bmim][FeCl 4 ] and selectivity of C 3 H 6 /C 3 H 8 in [bmim][FeCl 4 ] were calculated. And the thermodynamic properties of solvation concerned about the Gibbs energy (Δ sol G ∞ ), the enthalpy (Δ sol H ∞ ) and the entropy (Δ sol S ∞ ) of solvation were also obtained to offer knowledge for understanding the progress of gases dissolved in [bmim][FeCl 4 ]. The experimental results were correlated with a modified KK equation and NRTL equation.

This work developed a new method for measuring the volume expansion of a CO 2 + n -dodecane mixture, using a fused silica capillary cell (FSCC), combined with a heating-cooling stage and a confocal Raman spectrometer. The cell was constructed on the micron scale to reduce the temperature gradient and reagent consumption. The results confirmed the feasibility of this method that using Raman spectra to verify phase equilibrium, a digital camera to record images of the CO 2 + n -dodecane mixture and a micrometer to measure the volume, a section of water (water seal) between n -dodecane and gas phase to prevent n -dodecane from evaporating. It was shown that the volume expansion factor of the mixture increased with pressure going from 1.0 to 10.0 MPa, but decreased as the temperature was raised from 30 to 80 °C. In addition, a positive quadratic relationship ( R 2 > 0.99) was obtained between Raman peak intensity ratio and volume expansion factor, such that more volume expansion factors could be obtained according to the equations with measured Raman peak intensity ratio data. This experiment widens the ranges of temperature and pressure in the measurements of the volume expansion, and provides more volume expansion data for CO 2 -enhanced oil recovery.

The decentralized production of H 2 O 2 via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e − ORR) has emerged as a promising alternative to the energy-intensive anthraquinone (AQ) process. However, its practical application requires 2e − ORR electrocatalysts with high activity and selectivity. Herein, we report the synthesis of metallic Ni nanoparticles anchored on bacterial cellulose-derived carbon fibers (Ni-NPs/BCCF) via a facile impregnation-pyrolysis method as efficient electrocatalysts for 2e − ORR to H 2 O 2 . By tuning the amount of Ni precursor, the best electrocatalytic performance toward 2e − ORR was achieved for Ni-NPs/BCCF-20.7, affording a high H 2 O 2 selectivity of ∼90% and an onset potential of 0.75 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) in an alkaline electrolyte. Ni-NPs/BCCF-20.7 achieved the largest H 2 O 2 yield rate of 162.7 ± 13.7 mmol g cat −1 h −1 and the highest Faradaic efficiency of 93.9% ± 4.2% at 0.2 and 0.5 V vs. RHE from the bulk ORR system, respectively. Theoretical calculations revealed the more favorable “end-on” adsorption configuration of molecular oxygen on the exposed Ni(111) plane, which can effectively suppress the O-O bond dissociation, resulting in high selectivity for H 2 O 2 generation.
