In the catalytic transformation of bio-oil into liquid fuels having alkanes via hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), the acid and metal sites in the catalyst are pivotal for promoting the HDO of lignin-derived phenolic compounds. This study introduces a novel bifunctional catalyst comprising phosphomolybdenum-vanadium heteropolyacids (H4PMo11VO40) coupled with Ni/C. The HDO reaction of the model compound guaiacol was carried out under reaction conditions of 230 °C, revealing the superior performance of H4PMo11VO40 with Ni/C catalysts compared to the conventional acids, even at low dosage. The Keggin structure of H4PMo11VO40 provided a solid catalyst with strong acidic and redox properties, alongside advantages such as ease of synthesis, cost-effectiveness, and tunable acid and redox properties at the molecular level. Characterization of Ni/C and the prepared acid demonstrated favorable pore structure with a mesopore volume of 0.281 cm3/g and an average pore size of 3.404 nm, facilitating uniform distribution and catalytic activity of Ni-metal. Incorporating acid enhances the acidic sites, fostering synergistic interactions between metal and acidic sites within the catalyst, thereby significantly enhancing HDO performance. Guaiacol conversion at 230 °C reached 100%, with a cyclohexane selectivity of 89.3%. This study presents a promising pathway for converting lignin-derived phenolic compounds.

Electrophotocatalytic C-H hydroxylation of benzene is an emerging green technology with high potential for producing phenol in one step. However, it is still limited by efficiency and scale-up challenges in batch process. In this study, a novel electrophotochemical flow microreactor was designed and manufactured using 3D printing technology. Static mixers were incorporated to enhance the mixing. The effect of various parameters, such as electrode materials, reaction time, potential, and reactant concentration, etc., on the continuous synthesis of phenol in the as-developed microreactor was investigated. Furthermore, machine learning (ML) algorithms were employed to explore the impact of these parameters on the reaction efficiency. With cost-effective electrodes, higher phenol productivity was achieved in the present flow microreactor when comparing with batch counterpart and literature value. This study offers insights into the optimization of electrophotochemical microreactor for the hydroxylation of benzene, and provides guidance for exploring sustainable electrophotocatalytic organic synthesis in flow.

Ceramic fibers are an important thermal insulation material that are not only widely used in extreme conditions, but also play an important role in energy conservation and energy efficiency for sustainable development. However, the practical application of conventional ceramic fibers has a high thermal conductivity in high-temperature environments, which hinders their widespread application. Here, a novel lamellar structured porous SiTiOC/C composite ceramic materials was designed and prepared with excellent thermal insulating properties. The unique microstructure endowed the porous SiTiOC/C composite ceramic materials with a high IR refractive index (93.81%) and an ultra-low thermal conductivity (0.0562 W·m −1 K −1 at 600 ℃). In addition, the porous SiTiOC/C composite ceramic materials not only exhibited excellent mechanical properties (4.46 MPa at 800 ℃), but also demonstrated impressive oxidation resistance and thermal stability. In summary, the proposed porous SiTiOC/C composite ceramic materials provide a reference for the development of high-temperature insulation with good mechanical properties.

A high entropy carbide (TaNbTiV)C was fabricated via spark plasma sintering of high entropy powders that were prepared using a molten salt method. The as-fabricated high entropy carbide was then investigated for its high-temperature oxidation behavior at 850 °C, under atmospheres with three different oxygen contents (20 vol%, 40 vol%, and 60 vol%). After the high-temperature oxidation process, the main phases observed in all the specimens were incompletely oxidized phase (Nb x Ti 1-x )C y O 2-y and oxides (Nb 0.5 Ta 0.5 ) 2 O 5 , TiO 2 , and Nb 2 O 5 . Importantly, the thickness of the oxide layer initially increased and then decreased as the oxygen content increased. When the oxygen content reached 40 vol%, the ceramic displayed severe oxidation behavior with observed thicker of the oxide layer, as well as numerous pores and cracks in the oxide layer. This work provides new insights into the oxidation behavior of high entropy carbides.

Air-rechargeable batteries integrating energy harvesting, conversion, and storage provide the most portable and popular approach to self-charging power systems. However, air-rechargeable batteries are currently mostly aqueous Zn-based battery systems in which it has remained a significant challenge to solve the low discharge capacities and poor cycling stability of chemical self-charging due to continuous insertion/extraction of large-size hydrated Zn2+. Herein, efficient Bi2Te3@C cathodes with an active carbon paper substrate are developed. Further ex situ characterization analysis confirms the energy storage mechanism regarding the coexistence of H+/Zn2+ coinsertion and conversion reaction in the aqueous Zn||Bi2Te3@C battery. Benefiting from the fast dynamics process attributed to the unique mechanism, a reliable energy supply is provided even in an extended temperature range from −10 to 45 °C. More importantly, Bi2Te3@C cathodes boost the superior and repeatable air-rechargeability. A discharge capacity of up to 264.20 mA h g–1 at 0.30 A g–1 is manifested after self-charging for 11.00 h. In addition, two quasi-solid-state battery devices are connected in series to continuously power a timer. After the device is discharged and then air self-charged for just a few seconds, an LED is lit.

Hierarchically three-dimensional (3D) materials present a pivotal challenge and opportunity in achieving effective microwave absorption with synergistic effects. In this work, α -Fe 2 O 3 @ZrO 2 with core-shell structure were fabricated in-situ on aramid nanofibers by a solvothermal method . Following calcination , 3D ZrO 2 /Fe 3 O 4 /C nanocomposites with Janus structure have been successfully synthesized. By controlling the lattice match and mismatch in both processes, a core-shell structure of α -Fe 2 O 3 @ZrO 2 and Janus structure of ZrO 2 /Fe 3 O 4 have been well-define performed. The composite material ZrO 2 /Fe 3 O 4 /C-700 has a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −67.4 dB at a thickness of 2.0 mm. The effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) at a thickness of 2.4 mm is 6.0 GHz (11.0–17.0 GHz). This study provides a novel strategy for fabricating high-efficiency electromagnetic wave absorption materials with dual synergistic effects in nanosized scale.

Although GeO 2 has a high theoretical capacity, its poor cyclic stability limits its application. In this work, amorphous GeO 2 /C composite anode materials were prepared by hydrothermal and sintering methods to improve the long-term cycle stability of Ge based anodes. The reversible specific capacity of the anode was 1300 mAh g −1 after 200 stable cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g −1 , and it was 1002 mAh g −1 after 1000 long cycles at a high current density of 1 A g −1 . The capacity retention rates of the amorphous GeO 2 /C-24 composite electrode were 84 % for the 2nd to the 200th discharge, being significantly higher than that of the commercial GeO 2 electrode (10 %). C doping changed the structure of GeO 2 atomic bonds and made C and O combine preferentially, resulting in Li + intercalating to the GeO 2 /C interface and the increase in the number of lithiation reaction sites, Li + diffusion coefficient, lithium-storage capacity and electrode capacity. The volume expansion rate of GeO 2 was reduced from 12.84 % to 2.51 % by C doping, resulting in the high structure stability of the anode in long cycles for LIBs. The reason was the stress release effect of the amorphous C coating, and the formation of a stable and appropriate thickness of the SEI film.

To deal with the low conductivity and structural instability of the silicon (Si)-based anode, a Ge–Si/C nanofiber (Ge–Si/CNF) composite is fabricated based on different starting reaction potentials for Si and Ge with lithium and excellent conductivity of Ge. Sucrose is innovatively introduced as a spinning aid to maintain the carbon fiber structure derived from poly(vinyl alcohol) as the spinning polymer. When Ge–Si/CNFs are investigated as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, it demonstrates excellent cyclic stability and rate capability. Specifically, the Ge–Si/CNFs anode can still retain 764.1 mA h g–1 at 0.5 A g–1 after 1000 cycles, and its capacity retention rate reaches 72.1%. Significantly, the specific capacity is 1168.7 mA h g–1 at 2.0 A g–1, which is restored to 1731.4 mA h g–1 when it is adjusted back to 0.1 A g–1. The excellent lithium storage of Ge–Si/CNF anode is attributed to the effective release of stress during the lithiation/delithiation process because of the different starting potentials of Si and Ge. When one component is lithiated, the other one can act as a buffer matrix for improving the structural stability. Additionally, the addition of Ge and carbon fibers can speed up the transfer rate of Li+ and electrons.

Thin-thickness and lightweight electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials are critically needed for stealth technology in the military stealth field. The special structure of a material is important for improving its good EMW absorption. Herein, a series of porous metal–organic framework-derived LaCo/C-decorated Ti 3 C 2 T x (LaCo/C/Ti 3 C 2 T x ) composites are prepared by carbonization at high temperatures. Impressively, the minimum reflection loss of LaCo/C/Ti 3 C 2 T x –2 is −47.72 dB at 10.26 GHz (thickness 2.3 mm), and the optimal effective absorption bandwidth is 5.45 GHz (thickness 1.9 mm). The excellent EMW absorption properties are due to multiple electromagnetic loss mechanisms, such as polarization loss, magnetic loss, and multiple reflections and scattering. This work provides a new route for the application of Ti 3 C 2 T x -based derivatives.

In order to improve the weak dielectric loss capability and poor impedance matching of Fe 3 O 4 , the hexagonal plates of Fe 3 O 4 /Fe 2 O 3 /C nanocomposites were rationally constructed in this paper by utilizing electrostatic attraction and cross-linking, using polyacrylamide (PAM) as templating agent and viscosity modifier. The stacked hexagonal plates constructed a conductive network and utilized the structural properties of Fe 3 O 4 to promote the transfer and jump of free electrons, which effectively improved the conduction loss. The heterogeneous interface was effectively constructed due to the presence of Fe 2 O 3 and trace carbon, while the transfer and leap of free electrons promoted the generation of interfacial polarization, resulting in magnetoelectric coupling and effective improvement of polarization loss. The results show that the effective absorption broadband reaches 4.08 GHz when the matching thickness of the composite is 2 mm. A minimum reflection loss of −43.79 dB is realized at a matching thickness of 1 mm. The PAM modification proved to be an effective means to modulate the morphology and composition of the materials.

A simple method for preparing C self-doped g-C 3 N 4 (CCN) was proposed by calcining urea and barbituric acid to effectively degrade sulfamethoxazole (SMX). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and element content analysis implied C atom replaced the original position of the bridging N atom to form CCN. Compared to g-C 3 N 4 , the absorption edge of CCN was red-shifted. As a result, the band gap of CCN was reduced, which improved the light absorption capacity of CCN and the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole. Ultimately, the photocatalytic activity of CCN was finally boosted. CCN can effectively degrade SMX under visible light. Among CCN with various C dosage, when 0.05 g of barbituric acid was added in the preparation process, the obtained sample (CCN-0.05) exhibited uppermost degradation efficiency on SMX, which can reach 99.0 % after irradiation for 60 min. Additionally, the first-order kinetic reaction rate constant (0.086 min −1 ) was 8.9 times higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 (0.0097 min −1 ). Electron paramagnetic resonance and trapping experiments showed that the dominant reactive species on SMX degradation were surface ·O 2 − and photogenerated holes by CCN-0.05 under visible light. Moreover, CCN-0.05 can still achieve effective removal of SMX under actual water backgrounds and showed selective degradation on sulfonamides.

Among the products of the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR), CO is currently the most valuable product for industrial applications. However, poor stability is a significant obstacle to CO2RR. Therefore, we synthesized a series of bimetallic organic framework materials containing different ratios of tungsten to copper using a hydrothermal method and used them as precursors. The precursors were then subjected to pyrolysis at 800 ℃ under argon gas, and the M-N bimetallic sites were formed after 2 h. Loose porous structures favorable for electrocatalytic reactions were finally obtained. The material could operate at lower reduction potentials than existing catalysts and obtained higher Faraday efficiencies than comparable catalysts. Of these, the current density of WCu-C/N (W:Cu = 3:1) could be stabilized at 7.9 mA·cm-2 and the FE of CO reached 94 % at a hydrogen electrode potential of -0.6 V (V vs. RHE). The novel materials made with a two-step process helped to improve the stability and selectivity of the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, which will help to promote the commercial application of this technology.
