Developing single-atom Fe–N4/C catalysts is crucial for the large-scale implementation of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). While Fe–N4/C catalysts are inherently active in accelerating the slow ORR process, their performance is still inferior to that of Pt/C. Herein, a trace Co-doped Fe single-atom catalyst (Fe(tCo)–N–C) containing more active Fe2N8 sites has been synthesized. Interestingly, compared with typical FeN4 sites in an Fe–N–C electrocatalyst, the Fe2N8 sites generate a larger Fe–N bond length due to Co-doping. The elongated Fe–N bond in Fe2N8 lowers the d-band center and charge density of iron sites, enhancing the ORR process by facilitating the formation of *OOH and generation and desorption of *OH. Fe(tCo)–N–C manifested excellent acidic and alkaline ORR activity, with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.80 V in HClO4 solution and 0.89 V in KOH medium. More importantly, high peak power densities (Pmax) were realized by applying Fe(tCo)–N–C in PEMFCs, with the Pmax reaching 890 mW cm−2 in H2–O2 and 380 mW cm−2 in H2–air. Additionally, trace Co dopants in the catalyst improved carbon graphitization and provided high ORR catalytic stability. This research introduces an innovative approach to engineering highly active Fe2N8 sites, providing valuable insights for the sustainable progress of PEMFC technology.

Herein, a novel nanocomposite organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane has been facilely fabricated by a highly-efficient one-step co-deposition of mussel-inspired catechol and octaammonium polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-NH 3 + Cl - ) onto supports. The basic properties and morphologies of the co-deposited nanocomposite membranes were investigated with various physicochemical characterizations in detail. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra proved the present of POSS nanoparticles on membrane surface . X-ray photoelectron (XPS) results suggested the optimal ratio of POSS-NH 3 + Cl - and catechol for co-deposition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images demonstrated the formation of a layer on support surface. The optimized nanocomposite membrane exhibited an ethanol (EtOH) permeance of 1.26 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 with a rejection of 99% to Rose Bengal (RB). The novel membrane also exhibited remarkable separation performance for dyes removal from a wide range of solvents including challenging polar aprotic and strongly swelling solvents . Particularly, the nanocomposite membrane demonstrated stable performances during a two-day long term test in DMF for RB concentration. In addition to providing a highly-efficient way to high-performance OSN membrane, this work may stimulate the bio-inspired design of advanced nanocomposite membranes for environmental applications.

Rubber tire mold fouling is a severe problem leading to mold surface corrosion, tire defects, and extra energy consumption. Traditional mechanical and chemical cleaning is inefficient and induces mold surface damage. Low surface energy organic coating displays antiadhesive behavior but is susceptible to wear. Here, we develop a bioinspired Co-CeO 2 /MoS 2 coating with effective mechanical robustness, corrosion resistance, and antifouling behavior by leveraging a slippery liquid-infused surface (SLIPS) strategy. The micro-nanostructure of the coating serves as mechanical stability and anticorrosion skeleton with the infused lubricant acting as a slippery antifouling surface. The variation of microstructure, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and antifouling behavior of the coating with individual and synergistic addition of CeO 2 and MoS 2 is systematically characterized. The slippery Co-CeO 2 /MoS 2 coating shows excellent mechanical stiffness, corrosion resistance, and antifouling performances in rubber vulcanization conditions. Graphical abstract

A novel high performance hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol- co -ethylene) (PVA- co -PE) nanofiber membrane for filtration media was prepared and characterized in this study. The PVA- co -PE nanofibers for the membrane preparation were fabricated based on a high throughput, cost effective and environmental friendly method developed by us. The basic properties of PVA- co -PE nanofibrous membrane and commercially available membrane (mixed cellulose ester membrane) including morphology, pore size distribution, contact angle, mechanics, water flux and filtration efficiency were investigated. The rejection rate of PVA- co -PE nanofibrous membrane (nanofiber density is 3 g/m 2 ) to TiO 2 suspension was above 99%, and such unique hydrophilic nanofibrous membrane exhibited a flux rate significantly higher than the commercial microfiltration membrane. The results indicated that PVA- co -PE nanofibrous membrane prepared by this method was a hydrophilic and high performance membrane which could be used in the microfiltration fields.

The electrooxidation of carbon monoxide is a typical example of structure sensitivity in electrocatalysis for fuel cells. Understanding the structure sensitivity is crucial in designing highly efficient catalysts and elucidating reaction mechanisms. Conventionally, only the reactivity of active sites was considered and optimized. However, how the reactant chemically moves to the active site has not been well studied. In this work, we found that CO ad hopping is a general phenomenon on noble metal surfaces such as platinum, iridium, rhodium, and palladium in the case of CO monolayer electrooxidation. Differences in the performances of CO ad stripping on platinum nanoparticles with different surface structures reveal that the CO ad hopping rate is structure sensitive as well. Assisted by a diffusion modeling and density functional theory calculations, it is demonstrated that the structure sensitivity is as a result of a compromise between CO ad chemical diffusivity and reactivity with OH ad .

In this paper, sulfonated nitrogen sulfur co-doped graphene (S-NS-GR) nanocomposite , i.e., nitrogen sulfur co-doped graphene functionalized with SO 3 H group as a novel catalyst support material was prepared. Pt Pd nanoparticles (Pt Pd NPs) were deposited on the surface of S-NS-GR by a facile electrochemical approach. The morphology and structure of Pd-PtNPs/S-NS-GR were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), respectively. In addition, the electrocatalytic performance of catalyst for methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) was systematically studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in alkaline media . Compared with Pt Pd NPs supported on nitrogen sulfur co-doped graphene (Pt-PdNPs/NS-GR), the excellent performance of Pd-PtNPs/S-NS-GR is mainly ascribed to the embedding of abundant functional groups ( SO 3 H) into the NS-GR layers, which not only facilitate the homogeneous distribution of metal NPs , but also strengthen the interaction between metals and support material, thus improve the stability of catalyst in MOR.

(Gd 1− x Nd x ) 2 (Zr 1− x Ce x ) 2 O 7 (0≤ x ≤1.0) ceramics were synthesized to investigate the co-doping effects on the phase evolution and chemical durability of Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 based nuclear waste forms. The phase structures of these solid solutions were identified by X-ray diffraction and their chemical durability was evaluated by static leach test (Materials Characterization Center, MCC-1). The results show that the Gd 2 Zr 2 O 7 ceramic adopts a pyrochlore structure while the co-doped (Gd 1− x Nd x ) 2 (Zr 1− x Ce x ) 2 O 7 (0.2≤ x ≤1.0) compositions exhibit a defect fluorite structure. Moreover, the normalized release rates of each element in (Gd 1− x Nd x ) 2 (Zr 1− x Ce x ) 2 O 7 (0≤ x ≤1.0) waste forms increase with the growing temperature and converge to constant values with enhanced leaching time. In the discussed time range (42 days), all the considered elements show a normalized release rate lower than 10 −4 g m −2 d −1 . Gd shows the highest normalized release rate of all the involved elements, while Zr shows the best chemical durability.

Herein, a novel composite nanofiber , which consists of TiO-TiO 2 heterostructure nanoparticles and boron, nitrogen co-doped carbon nanofibers (BNCNF), has been successfully prepared through a facile electrospinning method. Remarkably, as interlayer for Li S batteries, the TiO-TiO 2 heterostructure not only enhances the adsorbability of the interlayer to lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) via the Lewis acid-base interactions, but also accelerates the redox reaction kinetics of the Li S batteries dramatically. Moreover, the BNCNF as a flexible framework can remit the volumetric change of the sulfur cathode, physically retard the migration of LiPSs and chemically adsorb to the LiPSs. Attributing to the synergistic effect of TiO-TiO 2 nanoparticle and BNCNF membrane, the Li S batteries with the novel composite interlayer (named as TiO-TiO 2 /BNCNF) exhibit outstanding cycling stability and high discharge capacity, especially at high current density. With the sulfur loading of 2.5 mg cm −2 , the cell with the TiO-TiO 2 /BNCNF interlayer delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 1014.7 mA h g −1 with a decay rate of 0.092% over 400 cycles at 0.5C, and also possesses excellent initial discharge capacity of 650.0 mA h g −1 with a decay rate of 0.068% over 120 cycles even at 2.0C.

Black phosphorus (BP), a phosphorus analog of graphene, is a two-dimensional material with the thickness-dependent bandgap and a high carrier mobility, which emerges as a promising material in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. In this study, BP loaded with surface hydroxyl has been prepared by liquid ultrasonic exfoliation and used as the co-catalyst, which results in 341% photocatalytic hydrogen evolution enhancement to the anatase TiO 2 under the simulated sunlight irradiation and a quantum efficiency as high as 18.23% at 365 nm. The improved photocatalytic activity has been ascribed to the Z-scheme mechanism. These results indicate that 2D surface hydroxyl-loaded BP can be used as a broadband photocatalyst by forming type II heterostructures with other wide-bandgap semiconductors.

Praseodymium (Pr)–aluminum (Al)-co-doped M-type barium ferrite with Ba 0.85 Pr 0.15 Fe 12-x Al x O 19 ( x = 0.0–1.0) was prepared by combining solid-phase sintering with high-energy ball milling. The samples were characterized using a thermogravimetric analyzer, X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that M-type barium ferrite was formed at 1250 °C. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that Al doping did not destroy the crystal structure of barium ferrite. Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed that the samples had a hexagonal crystal structure. The wave numbers of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the 597–607 and 452–459 cm −1 bands represent tetrahedral and octahedral clusters, respectively. With the increase in the amount of Al doping ( x ) from 0.0 to 1.0, the saturation magnetization ( M s ) and residual magnetization ( M r ) decreased continuously, and the magnetic anisotropy field ( H a ) and coercivity ( H c ) increased significantly.

What is essential to solving energy scarcity problems is that develop the high activity, durable and non-noble metal-based dual-functional electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). In this work, a series of core-shell structure M@Fe–Cu-GR nanocubes (NCs) are prepared. In the prepared process, the bimetallic FeCu prussian blue analogues (PBA) is used as precursor, transition metals ions Co 2+ and Ni 2+ are introduced into the FeCu-PBA using the exchange of potassium ions with other metal ions , and then the FeCu-PBA are successfully loaded on the graphene oxide (GO) employed the attraction of opposite charges between polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) and GO. Electrochemical tests show that the Tafel slope of Co–Ni@Fe–Cu–GR NCs for HER and OER are 60 and 82 mV dec −1 , respectively, and Co–Ni@Fe–Cu–GR NCs shows excellent performance in long-term stability test.

A novel magnetic surface vulcanized cobalt-iron aerogel (CoFe-S MA) with a self-supporting, crosslinked bimetallic nanowire structure was fabricated via NaBH 4 -mediated gelation followed by in-situ vulcanization with Na 2 S solution, which showed efficient sulfadiazine (SDZ) degradation through peroxodisulfate (PDS) activation. The optimized CoFe-0.2S aerogels exhibited the best degradation performance (99.8%) for SDZ (10 mg/L, 100 mL) within 15 min, and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency reached 53%. The excellent degradation performance was attributed to the accelerated redox process and rapid formation of sulfate radical (SO 4 ·- ) caused by bimetal synergistic effect, as well as the sufficient exposed active sites provided by the self-supporting hierarchical porous structure of the aerogel. Compared with CoFe-MAs, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) demonstrated lower resistance and more rapid charge transfer of CoFe-S MAs, which was ascribed to the presence of delocalized electrons in iron sulfides layer. A high turnover frequency (TOF) of 4.0 L∙min −1 ∙g −1 was achieved due to that the reduction effect of S 2- on the surface promoted the regeneration of Fe and Co active species. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching experiments revealed the dominant reactive oxide species (ROS) to be SO 4 ·- , ‧OH, and Fe (Ⅳ). This work paves the way for the application of metal aerogels in the field of advanced oxidation process based on sulfate radical (AR-AOPs).
