Conversion of biomass-derived furfural platform compound to value-added tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFL) molecule is a sustainable route, and an efficient nonnoble metallic catalyst is a key factor for this reaction. In this work, Ni@C@CNT composite as a highly effective catalyst for hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol was synthesized by one-step pyrolysis of Ni-centered metal organic framework (Ni-MOF) doping with carbon nanotube (CNT). For comparison, Ni@C catalyst derived directly from Ni-MOF was also synthesized. The characterization results show that the doping of CNT promotes high dispersion of active sites and formation of Ni 3 C phase which has Pt-like catalytic activity. Therefore, the obtained Ni@C@CNT exhibited excellent activity in furfural hydrogenation (99.1% furfural conversion and 94.7% THFL yield at 120°C, 4 h, 4-MPa initial hydrogen pressure). Ni@C@CNT also shows good stability in reuse test. Current work presents a facile method for preparation of nonnoble metallic catalysts with high efficiency.

Molybdenum sulfide has been widely investigated as a prospective anode material for Li+/Na+ storage because of its unique layered structure and high theoretical capacity. However, the enormous volume variation and poor conductivity limit the development of molybdenum sulfide. The rational design of a heterogeneous interface is of great importance to improve the structure stability and electrical conductivity of electrode materials. Herein, a high-temperature mixing method is implemented in the hydrothermal process to synthesize the hybrid structure of MoS2/V2O3@carbon-graphene (MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO). The MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO composites exhibit superior Li+/Na+ storage performance due to the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components and the introduction of carbon materials, delivering a prominent reversible capacity of 564 mAh g–1 at 1 A g–1 after 600 cycles for lithium-ion batteries and 376.3 mAh g–1 at 1 A g–1 after 450 cycles for sodium-ion batteries. Theoretical calculations confirm that the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components can accelerate the reaction kinetics and enhance the charge-ionic transport of molybdenum sulfide. The results illustrate that interfacial engineering may be an effective guide to obtain high-performance electrode materials for Li+/Na+ storage.

2D-C/HfC–SiC composites were prepared by a combination of precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). Creep tests were performed at 1100°C in air under different stress conditions. Unlike most, C/SiC and SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites only underwent primary and secondary creep stages, and the C/HfC–SiC composites underwent tertiary creep stage in the creep process. The reason was that the mechanical properties of C/HfC–SiC materials prepared by PIP + CVI methods were different from those prepared by traditional methods. The microscopic morphological analysis of the sample fracture showed that the oxidation products SiO 2 and Hf–Si–O glass phases of the HfC–SiC matrix played a crack filling role in the sample during creep. In turn, it provided effective protection to the internal fibers of the sample. The creep failure of C/HfC–SiC composites in a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere was caused by the oxidation of the fibers. The total creep process was dominated by the oxidation of carbon fibers. It is noteworthy that there was the generation of Hf x Si y O z nanowires in the samples after high-temperature creep. The analysis of the experimental data showed that the creep stress had a linear negative correlation with the creep life.

In situ growth of ZnO layer on the surface of carbon dots was realized via a two-step method, which resulted in an enhancement of the broad visible emission with a high quantum yield. Influence of the refluxing time, the temperature and the oleylamine/octadecene ratio was investigated to address the key factors on the preparation of the carbon dots. Under the optimal conditions, the carbon dots with an average diameter of 3.4 ± 0.4 nm and a photoluminescence quantum yield of 29.3% were achieved. Remarkable improvements of photoluminescence were achieved by the hybridization of the ZnO layer, which can eliminate the surface-trap from the C cores and form the new centers of emission. The synergistic effect arising from the C/ZnO hybridized structure obviously broadened the visible emission and enhanced their photoluminescence quantum yield from 29.3% to 47.3%. The as-prepared highly emissive quantum dots exhibited a broad and stable emission with the Commission Internationaled ‘E’ clairage chromaticity coordinate of (0.23, 0.34), which could offer a promising solution for the future-generation white light emitting diodes.

Manganese and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon (Mn–N–C) are proposed as one of the most up-and-coming non-precious metal electrocatalysts to substitute Pt-based in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we chose metal triazole frameworks as carbon substrate with hierarchical porosity for trapping and anchoring Mn-containing gaseous species by a mild one-step pyrolysis method. The optimized Mn–N–C electrocatalyst with a large metal content of 1.71 wt% and a volume ratio of 0.86 mesopores pore delivers a superior ORR activity with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.92 V in 0.1 M KOH and 0.78 V in 0.1 M HClO4. Moreover, the modified Mn–N–C catalyst showed superior potential cyclic stability. The E1/2 remained unchanged in 0.1 M KOH and only lost 6 mV in 0.1 M HClO4 after 5000 cycles. When applied as the cathode catalyst in Zn-air battery, it exhibited a maximum peak power density of 176 mW cm−2, demonstrating great potential as a usable ORR catalyst in practical devices.

Graphical Lithium storage : One-dimensional (1D) LiMnPO 4 @C nanofibers with in situ-created 3D mesoporous architecture are reported, and the charge-storage behavior is addressed. Remarkably, the hierarchical construction promotes the pseudocapacitive contributions. The diffusion-controlled battery-type and surface-controlled capacitive faradaic redox processes act synergistically, giving new insights into Li-storage cathode materials to reach the goal of high energy and power densities simultaneously. Olivine-structured LiMnPO 4 (LMP) is an efficient Li + host owing to its high theoretical energy density and thermal stability. However, its poor ionic and electronic conductivity severely hinder its practical application. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) LMP@C nanofibers with in situ created 3D mesoporous architecture are reported and the charge-storage behavior is addressed. Ultrafine LMP nanoparticles are homogeneously confined in the nanofibers with interconnected and exposed mesoporous intersections, facilitating the electronic/ionic transportation and retarding the pulverization/fracture of electrodes. Remarkably, the hierarchical construction promotes a certain degree of pseudocapacitive contribution. The diffusion-controlled battery-type and surface-controlled capacitive faradaic redox processes act synergistically, giving new insights into Li-ion storage cathode materials to reach the common goal of high energy density and power density simultaneously. The current separation technique suggests surface-dominated pseudocapacitance as the major Li + storage mechanism at high rates, which is regarded as an efficient way to improve the rate performance. Hence, the as-prepared LMP@C nanofibers could deliver a high reversible capacity of 149.8 mAh g −1 with 92 % charge retention over 300 cycles at 0.2 C (1 C=171 mA g −1 ). Even at a high rate of 5 C, a capacity of 63.1 mAh g −1 is retained after 2000 cycles with an exceptional cyclic stability.

Developing cost-effective cathode materials is conducive to accelerating the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries. Na4Fe3(PO4)2P2O7(NFPP) has attracted extensive attention owning to its high theoretical capacity, stable structure, and low cost of raw materials. However, its inherent low conductivity hinders its further application. Herein, carbon-coated NFPP nanospheres are anchored to crumpled MXene nanosheets by an electrostatic self-assembly; this cross-linked structure induced by CTAB not only significantly expands the contact area between particles and improves the electronic conductivity, but also effectively reduces the aggregation of NFPP nanoparticles. The as-designed Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7)@C/Ti3C2Tx(NFPP@MX) cathode exhibits a high discharge capacity (106.1 mAh g−1g at 0.2 C), good rate capability (60.4 mAh g−1at 10 C), and a long-life cyclic stability (85.2% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1 C). This study provides an effective strategy for the massive production of high-performance NFPP cathodes and broadens the application of MXene in the modification of other cathode materials.

ABSTRACT Owing to Fe being the most abundant and least expensive transition metal on the earth, the utilization of Fe-based catalysts for catalytic hydrogenation has attracted worldwide attention. In this work, a series of N-doped C supported Fe catalysts (Fe-N-C) were prepared by co-pyrolysis of cellulose and ferric chloride under ammonia atmosphere. Characterization methods such as elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were carried out to explore the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. Using hydrogenation of nitrobenzene as a model reaction, the catalysts prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures displayed different activities. Fe-N-C-700 exhibited the best activity among these catalysts, with the yield of aniline being up to 98.0% under 5 MPa H 2 at 120 °C after 12 h. Combined with the results of catalyst characterization and comparative tests, the transformation of Fe species and the generation of N-doped C, especially graphitized N-doped C, in the catalyst may be the main factors affecting the activity. A kinetic study was carried out and the apparent activation energy was obtained as 31.53 kJ/mol. The stability of the catalyst was also tested and no significant decrease in the activity was observed after 5 runs.

Biothiol detection is of great importance for clinical disease diagnosis. Previous nanozyme-based colorimetric sensors for biothiol detection showed unsatisfactory catalytic activity, which led to a high detection limit. Therefore, developing new nanozymes with the high catalytic activity for biothiol detection is extremely necessary. Recently, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have attracted much attention in biosensing due to their 100% atom utilization and excellent catalytic activity. Most previous works focus on the peroxidase-like activity of Fe-based SAzymes by using unstable and destructive H 2 O 2 as the oxidant. It is essential to develop new SAzymes with high oxidase-like activity for biosensing to break through the limitation. Herein, Co–N–C SAzymes with high oxidase-like activity are explored. Furthermore, Co–N–C SAzymes are used as a biosensor for colorimetric detection of biothiols (GSH/Cys) based on the inhibition of thiols toward the oxidase-like activity of Co–N–C SAzymes, which showed high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.07 µM for GSH and 0.06 µM for Cys. Besides, the method showed good reproducibility and high selectivity against other amino acids. This work offers new insights using Co–N–C SAzymes in the biosensing field.

A series of lanthanum-doped Na3V2−xLax(PO4)3/C (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) composites have been fabricated via a simple sol–gel approach. The influences of La3+ substitution on the structure, morphology and electrochemical properties are systematically studied. Rietveld refinement is applied to explore the actual substitution site of La, which proves that La3+ ions successfully occupy the octahedral V sites. It is suggested that appropriate La doping will reduce the particle size and enhance the reversible capacity and rate capability. Among all the samples, the as-prepared Na3V1.99La0.01(PO4)3/C compound shows the highest electrochemical capability. It delivers a high initial specific capacity of 111.3 mA h g−1 at 0.2C and maintains a capacity of 108.1 mA h g−1 over 100 cycles, exhibiting much better electrochemical performance than the original Na3V2(PO4)3/C. In addition, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) experiments suggest that low-level La doping can greatly decrease the polarization and increase electrical conductivity with fast reaction kinetics and a higher Na+ diffusion coefficient. The study presented here will provide considerable insights into rare earth element-doping tactics, which will facilitate the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries.

Sarcosine has been discovered as a better potential biomarker for Prostate cancer (PCa). Though many high-performance amperometric sarcosine biosensors have been reported, it is still difficult to accurately detect sarcosine because of the extremely low concentration and the presence of many electroactive interferents in human serum or urine. Since most of the reported sarcosine biosensors use platinum group metals (PGM) as catalysts, it is meaningful to explore other catalysts with higher catalytic activity. Metal-nitrogen-doped carbon (M–N–C) materials are considered as alternatives to precious metals. In this study, iron doped zeolitic-imidazolate-framework-8 (ZIF-8) composites were synthesized and calcined to obtain an Iron-nitrogen-doped Carbon (Fe–N–C) material, which has excellent catalytic activity. The sensitivity of the Fe–N–C modified sarcosine biosensor is 16.5 μA mM−1, (234.2 μA mM−1 cm−2), which is the highest one in recent reported works. It has a low limit of detection (LOD, 0.7 μM, S/N = 3), and an appropriate linear detection range of 2–37 μM. This work provides a new approach to prepare high performance sarcosine biosensors by improving the catalytic activity of the modifier of the sensor. It has great potential to be used as portable devices for the rapid detection of PCa.
