Photocatalytic hydrogen production technology is an efficient method to solve the environmental pollution problem and obtain renewable energy. To improve the hydrogen production efficiency, it is still a great challenge to develop novel photocatalysts with high activity and high stability. In this work, a hollow rod-shaped Cu-In-Zn-S@ZnCo 2 O 4 @In 2 O 3 tandem heterojunction photocatalyst was designed and synthesized. Under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic hydrogen production amount was up to 21404.54 μmol·g −1 in 5 h. The hollow tandem heterojunction would improve the light absorption, facilitate the electron transfer, inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, and provide more active sites for hydrogen production reaction. The design of Cu-In-Zn-S@ZnCo 2 O 4 @In 2 O 3 photocatalyst provided an effective method to enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen production performance.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production was a potential strategy to solve energy shortage and environmental pollution. One of the valuable research directions for improving photocatalytic efficiency was to prepare catalysts in an efficient and low-cost way. Lamellar Sm 2 WO 6 and dodecahedron Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-67 (ZIF-67) have been prepared successfully based on morphology control. Sm 2 WO 6 /ZIF-67 was prepared by a novel in situ growth scheme, which was confirmed by crystal structure, morphology and elemental composition analysis . The close interaction between Sm 2 WO 6 and ZIF-67 was confirmed by photoelectrochemical measurements. Based on the design of band structure , the S-type heterojunction was constructed. The research results of this paper provided a reference for exploring non-noble metal composite materials and demonstrated great potential in photocatalytic.

The performance stability of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells is one of the key issues for its commercialization. Currently, Cu+ and Cu2+ salts have been successfully used to prepare CZTSSe solar cells, but comparative studies on the performance stability of the two types of solar cells are scarce. In this work, the performance degradation processes of CZTSSe solar cells, stored for 249 days under dry conditions, prepared respectively with Cu2+ and Cu+ salts (denoted Cu2+-cell and Cu+-cell, respectively) are investigated. It is found that the Cu+-cell has a higher initial PCE but worse performance stability than the Cu2+-cell. By calculation of the contribution percentage of VOC, JSC, and FF to the PCE and JL, Rs, Rsh, and (A, J0) to VOC, JSC, and FF for the two types of solar cells with the best initial PCE, it is concluded that the contribution percentages of JL, Rs, Rsh, and (A, J0) to a decreased PCE for the Cu2+-cell are nearly equal, while the decreased PCE for the Cu+-cell dominantly comes from a greatly decreased Rsh and sharply increased J0. The great decrease in Rsh is due to the formation of SnSe2, which may result from its chemical reaction pathway to fabricate the CZTSSe absorber. The sharp increase in J0 may be attributed to the formation of SnZn antisite defects. This work indicates that it is important to consider the Cu oxidation state of the salts to improve the stability of solution-processed CZTSSe solar cells.

Enhancing the adsorption and catalytic conversion of polysulfides is critical in improving the cycling stability of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. Herein, an ultralight typha-like carbon nanofiber (CNF) based interlayer (MoS 2 /Al 2 O 3 @CNF) is constructed by scalable electrospinning and eco-friendly magnetron sputtering, to act as a “police constable” between the cathode and separator. The co-sputtering of MoS 2 and Al 2 O 3 endows the interlayer with both chemical adsorption and catalytic conversion active sites. Besides, the typha-like nanofibrous interlayer serves as both membrane and brush filters, leading to more efficient polysulfide blocking. The structural superiority of this interlayer compared to the CNF membrane results in a 693.8% higher specific surface area of 254 m 2 g −1 . In addition to these benefits, the unique structure allows for a 6.9-fold increase in exposure of active sites. The cell with such an interlayer delivers stable long-term cycling performance with an ultralow capacity decay rate of 0.035% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 0.5C. The long-term cycling performance can be attribute to the structural stability of the typha-like nanofibrous membrane, as evidenced by the postmortem SEM images. This work provides a valuable strategy for designing functional interlayers toward the long-term cycling stable Li–S batteries.

The electrocatalytic hydrodeoxygenation (ECH) of lignin typical model compounds and lignin-derived oil from different tree species into (alkyl)-cyclohexane and (alkyl)-cyclohexanol in the fluidized electrocatalysis system were investigated in this research. The selected model compounds include two G-type compounds: eugenol (EO) and guaiacol (GO), and two S-type compounds: 4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenol (4-DMP) and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP). This ECH system consisted of phosphotungstic acid (PW 12 ) electrolyte, catalyst that suspended in the electrolyte, and NaBH 4 reductant in the cathode. The results showed that 4-DMP could be converted using Pt/C as the catalyst at 25 mA/cm 2 current density and 80°C for 60 min, with higher faradaic efficiency of 90% and the selectivity of PCH and 4-PCH was 62% and 20%, respectively. For C O bond cleavage, the DFT calculations showed that, for EO, GO, and 4-DMP, the C-OCH 3 bond will be firstly broken, while for 2,6-DMP, it is preferred that C-OH bond will be firstly broken. It was found that G-type (EO, GO) was more easily hydrodeoxygenated than S-type (4-DMP, 2,6-DMP) compounds, with the reaction rate in the order of GO > EO > 2,6-DMP > 4-DMP, indicating that the allyl group had a negative effect on the electrocatalytic conversion. Furthermore, it was also found that the complete conversion of lignin-derived oil monomers of pine (mainly G-type) and poplar (mainly S-type) can be achieved, with the yield of target products (PCH and 4-PCH) of 64% and 43%, respectively. Overall, this work innovatively integrates biomass refining and electrocatalytic upgrading, which provides a green and environmentally friendly solution for lignin conversion and utilization.

The catalytic performance of immobilized enzyme is greatly influenced by functional support, which attracts growing interest for designing supports to achieve their promotive catalytic activity. In this work, a series of functional mesoporous poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) with balanced anions and tailored surface functional organic groups were designed and constructed. Then, Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) immobilized mesoporous PILs biocatalysts were synthesized and carefully characterized. Through regulating anions (Br − , SO 4 2− , OH − ) along with functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxy, epoxy) of PILs, the sample PIL-COOH-S bearing carboxyl group and bisulfate ion affords improved affinity and open conformation of immobilized PPL, thus contributing to the highest biodiesel yield of 96.6% via esterification of soybean oil within 24 h at 40 °C, much outperforming that of bare PPL (66.3%) and commercial Novozym 435 (68.5%). The activity recovery of PPL 0.2 @PIL-COOH-S reached to 130% and could be reused for 8 cycles in transesterification with a maintained 82% initial activity. Finally, molecular dynamic simulation (molecular docking) was further conducted to identify the origin of PILs functions. Thus, the above devisable PILs provide a green strategy for lipase immobilization and show a synergistic effect to promote biodiesel production with high activity and stability.

High-valent iron–oxo species (Fe V =O) generated through peroxide activation by Fe-based catalysts can realize the selective and efficient degradation of organic pollutants in water treatment. However, the rapid and efficient generation of Fe V =O for the selective degradation of pollutants over a wide pH range with high stability is challenging. In this study, a N, P, and S co-doped Fe-single atom (SA) catalyst (Fe SA -NPS@C) with FeN 4 active center was synthesized as a highly efficient catalyst for the peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based oxidation. The Fe SA -NPS@C catalyst exhibited an excellent catalytic performance at low dosages of both the catalyst and PMS for the degradation of pollutants over a wide pH range with high stability. For the degradation of ofloxacin (OFX), the rate constant pertaining to PMS with Fe SA -NPS@C was 1.68 min −1 , considerably higher than those obtained using the N -doped and N and P co-doped Fe-SA catalysts. The degradation pathway of OFX revealed that the electrostatic effect was of significance in its degradation by Fe V N 4 =O with Fe V N 4 =O being the dominant reactive species. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the heteroatom doping effectively altered the electronic structure of the FeN 4 site of Fe SA -NPS@C, which strengthen its coordination with PMS, promote the electron transfer to PMS, and facilitate the interaction between Fe V N 4 = O and OFX, and thus significantly enhanced its catalytic activity. These findings provide new insights into the oxidation mechanism of Fe V =O in heterogeneous systems and the catalytic ability enhancement through heteroatom doping.

Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have sparked great interest, but their wide-ranging applications are limited by sluggish cathode reactions (ORR and OER). In this work, a multifunctional 3D catalyst (FeNi alloy/porous carbon) was easily fabricated by introducing Fe 3+ and Ni 2+ to modulate in-situ vapor phase grown carbon nanotubes. The as-prepared catalyst FNSNC73-800 displays abundant mesoporous, massive structural defects , and multiple active sites, which greatly facilitate the transport of oxygen species and charge transfer during the reaction. Due to the excellent ORR and OER performance, FNSNC73-800 shows a narrow voltage gap (Δ E ) of 0.76 V, which is superior to recent reports. Notably, the secondary zinc-air battery with this catalyst displays a high-peak power density (210 mW cm −2 ), while maintaining an ultra-low potential gap (0.74 V) after a long-term charge-discharge cycle of 200 h. This effort presents a facile strategy for designing economical and efficient 3D catalysts for zinc-air batteries and more energy devices.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted enormous attentions as new-generation energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density , high theoretical specific capacity, low cost and environmental friendliness. However, polysulfide shuttle and the growth of lithium dendrites significantly restrain the practical application of the Li-S batteries. In this work, a modified PP separator with nanoscale rod-like α-MnO 2 supported on carbon nanotubes was prepared. The α-MnO 2 @CNT modified separator can effectively inhibit the shuttle of polysulfide , enhance the electrochemical activity and accelerate the transfer of ions and electrons. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that α-MnO 2 @CNT can efficiently adsorb and catalyze the conversion of polysulfides. Due to these advantages, the α-MnO 2 @CNT-based Li-S battery delivers a initial discharge capacity of 1469 mAh g −1 at 0.05 C, 1039 mAh g −1 at 0.5 C and the capacity can still maintain 648 mAh g −1 over 500 cycles at 0.5 C (capacity decay rate of 0.075%). Expressly, the capacity decay rate is only 0.022% after 600 cycles at a high current density of 2 C. The excellent performance could be attributed to the α-MnO 2 @CNT modified separator not only accelerating the transmission of electrons but also effectively inhibiting the shuttle of polysulfides. Moreover, this work provides a better idea for practical applications of lithium-sulfur batteries in the future.

A high-performance piezoelectric photocatalyst (V-BiOIO 3 /FTCN) was constructed to improve removal efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The role of V-BiOIO 3 in the composite was to introduce piezoelectric effect and construct S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with fish scale tubular carbon nitride (FTCN). The morphology, structure, chemical composition and optoelectronic characteristics of the as-prepared photocatalysts were studied by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS and UV-Vis DRS. Combined with UV-Vis DRS, XPS valence band, Mott-schottky curve and theoretical calculations, the mechanism of TCH degradation was deeply analyzed. A series of degradation experiments showed that the V-BiOIO 3 /FTCN could effectively degrade TCH, and the removal efficiency was further improved under the action of ultrasound. Importantly, the further immobilized V-BiOIO 3 /FTCN/MS could float on the water surface to degrade TCH without additional stirring, which facilitated the recovery of photocatalysts and showed excellent practical application value. This work provided a reference for the design and immobilization of carbon nitride-based piezoelectric photocatalysts.

To construct structurally stable sulfur cathode of Li-S battery with improved cycling performance, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) crosslinked by cationic hydroxypropyl polyrotaxane (HPRN + ) via dynamically reversible boronic ester bonds is synthesized and serves as the cathode binder. The smart polymer networks offer multifunction including buffering the volume change of the cathode during charge/discharge through the pulley effect of polyrotaxanes (PR), suppressing the shuttle effect by adsorption of polysulfide using the plentiful carboxyl, hydroxyl and quaternary ammonium cationic groups, and self-healing the micro-damages to ensure stable conduction pathways of the electrode. As a result, the Li-S batteries based on this novel multifunctional binder and simple commercial sulfur/carbon composites cathode exhibit excellent specific capacity and cycling stability. In particular, the specific capacity decay per cycle of the cell is only 0.064% along with high Coulombic efficiency after 550 cycles at 1.0 C, which is superior to most of the reported binders. Even under high sulfur loading, moreover, the cathode can deliver superior areal capacity and cycling stability. This proposed binder provides a new way for the design of high-stability sulfur cathodes.

The development of single enantiomers with high efficiency and low toxic activity has become a hot spot for the development and application of drugs and active additives. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of the application of α-lipoic acid with a different optical rotation to alleviate the inflammation response and oxidative stress induced by oxidized fish oil in laying hens. Sixty-four 124-week-old Peking Red laying hens were randomly allocated to four groups with eight replicates of two birds each. The normal group was fed basal diets supplemented with 1% fresh fish oil (FO), and the oxidative stress model group was constructed with diets supplemented with 1% oxidized fish oil (OFO). The two treatment groups were the S-form of the α-lipoic acid model with 1% oxidized fish oil (OFO + S-LA) and the R-form of the α-lipoic acid model with 1% oxidized fish oil (OFO + R-LA) added at 100 mg/kg, respectively. Herein, these results were evaluated by the breeding performance, immunoglobulin, immune response, estrogen secretion, antioxidant factors of the serum and oviduct, and pathological observation of the uterus part of the oviduct. From the results, diets supplemented with oxidized fish oil can be relatively successful in constructing a model of inflammation and oxidative stress. The OFO group significantly increased the levels of the serum inflammatory factor (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-γ) and the oxidative factor MDA and decreased the activity of the antioxidant enzyme (T-AOC, T-SOD, GSH-Px, GSH, and CAT) in the oviduct. The addition of both S-LA and R-LA significantly reduced the levels of serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IFN-γ), increased the activity of antioxidant indexes (T-AOC, T-SOD, GSH-Px, GSH, and CAT), and decreased the MDA contents in the serum and oviduct. Meanwhile, the supplementation of S-LA and R-LA also mitigated the negative effects of the OFO on the immunoglobulins (IgA and IgM) and serum hormone levels (P and E2). In addition, it was worth noting that the R-LA was significantly more effective than the S-LA in some inflammatory (IL-1β) and antioxidant indices (T-SOD, GSH, and CAT). Above all, both S-LA and R-LA can alleviate the inflammation and oxidative damage caused by oxidative stress in aged laying hens, and R-LA is more effective than S-LA. Thus, these findings will provide basic data for the potential development of α-lipoic acid as a chiral dietary additive for laying hens.Keywords:S-form of α-lipoic acid;R-form of α-lipoic acid;oxidized fish oil;antioxidant;laying hen
