Porous carbon materials have been widely used as electrode materials for supercapacitors . However, low specific capacitance severely hinders the practical application. To further improve the capacitance, this work reports a facile approach to prepare N, S co-doped hierarchical porous carbon/MnO 2 composites (NSPC/MnO 2 ). Acidified thiourea, acting as N and S source, is used to crosslink sodium alginate (SA) to give SA-based composite gels which are pyrolyzed to produce NSPC/MnO 2 . X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectra proved that manganese exists in the porous carbon in the form of MnO 2 . The obtained NSPC/MnO 2 exhibit hierarchical porous structure, remarkable mesoporous feature (the proportion of mesopores and macropores reached 32.69%), and high specific surface area of 1701 m 2 g −1 . Meanwhile, NSPC/MnO 2 show abundant heteroatom doping, i.e. Mn (2.05 at%), N (6.76 at%), and S (2.16 at%), which provided plenty of pseudocapacitance. The electrochemical tests show that NSPC/MnO 2 as electrode material can reach a high specific capacity of 281.1 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 (which is almost 1.85 times higher than the comparative sample), with good cycling stability (86.02% after 5000 cycles at 10 A g −1 ).

It is crucial to design efficient photocatalysts for elimination of combined pollutants in wastewater. Herein, the S-scheme Zn 3 In 2 S 6 -BGQDs/AgBr (ZBA) heterojunction was synthesized through co-modification of Zn 3 In 2 S 6 with B-doped graphene quantum dots (BGQDs) and AgBr nanoparticles using solvothermal method for synchronous removals of nitrofurazone (NFZ) and Cr (VI). Characterization results revealed that ZBA showed superior photocatalytic activity than the counterparts. In NFZ-Cr (VI) coexistence environment, removal efficiencies towards NFZ and Cr (VI) were 95.23% and 99.39% using the ZBA photocatalyst within 2 h of visible light irradiation. Results demonstrated that ∙OH, h + and ∙O 2 − played major role for NFZ removal, while mainly e - and ∙O 2 − contributed to Cr (VI) reduction. The S-scheme heterojunction mechanism of ZBA was confirmed by energy band structure analysis, ESR and calculated work function. Possible pathways and mechanisms of NFZ degradation were proposed according the identified intermediates. Besides, the ecotoxicity of intermediates was analyzed. This study advances the development of photocatalytic treatment of combined-polluted wastewater.

As one of the most widely used azo synthetic dyes, long-term consumption of excessive amaranthcan cause a threat to health. It is very urgent to establish high selective and sensitive method for amaranth detection. Orange fluorescent carbon dots utilizing l -methionine and o-phenylenediamine as raw materials, namely S,N-CDs, were prepared via one-step hydrothermal method . Dialysis, thin layer chromatography and chromatographic column were employed for further purification. The purified dual-mode nanoprobe based on fluorescent and UV absorption was successfully established. For fluorescent, excellent linear ranges of 5–70 μM and 110–195 μM were obtained, and low detection limit was 345.22 nM. For UV absorption, excellent linear ranges of 0–155 μM with low detection limit 12.70 nM. It revealed that inner filter effect and static quenching dominated in amaranth quenching the fluorescent of S,N-CDs. Furthermore, the dual-mode nanoprobe could be efficiently applied to determine amaranth in fruit juice, carbonated drink, and strawberry jam samples. It provided a new insight on the purification of carbon dots and detection of amaranth by dual-mode nanoprobe.

The Mg-S battery has great development potential benefiting from its high volume energy density and high-safety. However, it also confronts with two key issues especially when using the Mg(TFSI) 2 -based electrolyte. One is the poor compatibility between electrolyte and Mg anode, and the other is the poor reversibility of cathode. In this work, an artificial interphase including Zn/ZnCl 2 /MgZn 2 /MgCl 2 was firstly pre-constructed by replacement reaction of ZnCl 2 and Mg, which can reduce Mg plating/stripping overpotential to 0.2 V at 0.1 mA/cm 2 . Meanwhile, the reversibility of cathode can be improved by using copper powders as additive in sulfur/carbon composite cathode, and the improvement effect is directly related to the addition amount and particle size of copper powders. In addition, it is also revealed that the chemical reaction can occur between copper and intermediates MgS 8 at the initial stage of discharge process. The reaction product of Cu 2 S continues to participate in the electrochemical reduction reaction to regenerate copper, which can be reoxidized to Cu 2 S during the charging process. The conversion of redox couple from S/S 2− to Cu 2 S/Cu 0 in cathode improves the cycling stability of the battery in comparison with the conversional Mg-S battery.

A bulky and hydrophilic β-cyclodextrin group, serving as a “performance assisting moiety”, was grafted onto a poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) to achieve a new family of polymer electrolytes with different kinds of quaternary ammonium salts (QAs) for anion exchange membranes (AEMs). It was observed that the β-cyclodextrin involved AEMs having a well-designed molecular architecture exhibited some attractive properties. At the same ion exchange capacity level, the highest conductivity at 80 °C of the cyclodextrin-involved anion exchange membranes reached 110.8 mS cm −1 , which was almost twice as high as that of a reference membrane. As a novel “assisting moiety”, the incorporation of the functional cyclodextrin groups also endowed membranes with suitable water uptakes of 60.2–93.8% and swelling ratios of 11.5–22.8% at 80 °C. A comparative study revealed that the cyclodextrin-involved membranes had an improved alkaline stability and a satisfactory cell performance. The maximum power density of one cyclodextrin-based membrane was 154 mW cm −2 , which was three folds higher than that of the analogue without “assisting moiety”. In general, this study offers an effective synthetic strategy to prepare the high-performance anion exchange membranes with an excellent combination of high conductivity, low swelling, good alkaline stability and reasonable cell performance.

Polluted stormwater (PSW) treatment is becoming increasingly important because of the existence of multiple pollutants from non-point pollution sources. Alfalfa biochar loaded with Mg/Fe layered double hydroxide (AF-LDH) was successfully synthesized to remove trace metal(loid)s from stormwater. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of metal(loid)s in a mono-component system and the reusability of the composite materials was investigated in this study. The result showed that the maximum removal efficiency for Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), As(V), and Cr(VI) were 98.98 %, 98.11 %, 97.88 %, 97.71 %, 98.81 %, and 50.89 %, respectively, when added calcined AF-LDH (AF-LDO) composite material to the multi-component solution. The AF-LDH and AF-LDO could efficiently remove trace pollutants (10‐100 μg/L) from multi-component solution, especially for AF-LDO, which could completely remove the tested six trace metal(loid)s. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction characterizations supported the Mg/Fe layered double hydroxide reconstruction. The main mechanisms of Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) (cationic metals) removal were ion exchange and surface precipitation, whereas As(V) and Cr(VI) (anionic metals) were mainly dislodged through the formation of surface complexation, electrostatic attraction, and interlayer anion exchange, concerning the –OH and –COOH of AF-LDH. Importantly, the results of the column experiment demonstrated that AF-LDO was superior to AF-LDH for anionic metal removal from stormwater. In this study, we synthesized AF-LDH and AF-LDO for trace metal(loid) removal and proposed a new and practical approach for stormwater purification.

Transition metal nitrides have attracted extensive attention due to their high electronic conductivity and considerable theoretical capacity. However, large volume change and sluggish reaction kinetics during electrochemical reaction process impede their further application. Herein, we report a topochemical self-nitridation approach in-situ to synthesize VN nanocrystals embedded in N, S co-doped porous carbon framework and prove that the as-obtained composite nanocrystals are good anode for Li ion battery (LIB). The composite nanocrystals deliver a high reversible capacity of 294 mA h g −1 at 10 A g −1 after 1000 cycles for LIBs. Systematic characterizations coupled with the kinetic analysis manifest that VN nanocrystals exhibit short ions diffusion path and N, S co-doped porous carbon framework improves electronic conductivity as well as buffers volume change during electrochemical process. Furthermore, when using the composite nanocrystals as an anode and commercial LiFePO 4 as a cathode to package a full cell, three red LEDs are easily lightened up, indicating a huge potential of VN nanocrystals as electrode materials for practical application.

Artificial photosynthesis offers a promising strategy for converting solar energy into environmental-friendly H 2 O 2 . Herein, robust photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production through dioxygen reduction is achieved, reaching a high H 2 O 2 yield of 873 μmol L −1 h −1 . The photocatalyst was prepared by in-situ chemical vapor deposition of N, S co-doped graphene on TiO 2 nanofibers. Thanks to the intimate interface with large area and Schottky junction, the H 2 O 2 yield of the composite can be increased by eight times than that of pristine TiO 2 . Experimental results and density functional theory calculations clarify that the strong synergistic effect between the doped N and S atoms provides abundant active sites to facilitate the electron transfer, promote the adsorption of O 2 molecules, and restrain the decomposition of formed H 2 O 2 by suppressing H 2 O 2 adsorption. This work not only provides a novel approach to build close contact between photocatalyst and co-catalyst, but also develops a highly efficient photocatalyst for H 2 O 2 production.

In this work, a simple strategy for the rapid detection of Ag + based on nitrogen, sulfur doped graphene quantum dots (N, S-GQDs) decorated platinum nanoclusters (PtNCs) was proposed for the first time. N, S-GQDs decorated PtNCs (N, S-GQDs@PtNCs) were prepared by a reduction method using ascorbic acid (AA) as reducing agent and N, S-GQDs as a stabilizer and morphology directing reagent, respectively. The N, S-GQDs@PtNCs have an excellent peroxidase activity, which could catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H 2 O 2 to lead to an obvious color change. However, Ag + could be reduced to Ag 0 by N,S-GQDs, and the Ag 0 covered the surface of N, S-GQDs@PtNCs causing its peroxidase activity to decrease. Ag + concentration could be quantified by measuring the maximum absorption signal at 652 nm for oxidized TMB with a wide linear range of 0.5–300.0 nM and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.2 nM. In addition, satisfactory results were obtained for the detection of Ag + in actual water samples. The prepared colorimetric sensor had advantages such as simple operation, cost-effective, fast response, and visualization, and had great potential in detecting toxic Ag + in environmental.

Development of porous adsorption materials tethered with functional groups was favorable to establish a more efficient, stable and broad-spectrum metal ions removal strategy from water. In this work, carboxyl functional poly(ionic liquid)s@MOF composites were prepared through in situ polymerization of ILs monomers inside MOF pores. Their thermophysical property, structure and morphology were characterized by different techniques. These PILs@MOF composites were proposed as universal and efficient adsorbents to remove selected rare earth metal ions (La 3+ , Sm 3+ , Nd 3+ ) and heavy metal ions (Pb 2+ , Cd 2+ ) from water medium. Effect of pH value and composite dosage on the adsorption efficiency were studied in detail. The optimized adsorption efficiency as high as 99.8 % could be found for the selected metal ions by PIL@MIL-101. In addition, the isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process were also determined, and these results imply that the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model fitted well with the experimental data. Thermodynamic parameters revealed spontaneous and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. A plausible mechanism for the adsorption process was suggested by the electrostatic interaction and coordination between the carboxyl group and metal ions with the aid of FTIR and XPS measurements. Finally, recycling experiments were performed to demonstrate the recyclability and stability of PIL@MOF composites undergoes at least five adsorption–desorption runs. The current research presented a series of poly(ionic liquid)s@MOF composites as a universal adsorption platform that demonstrated great potential for removing metal ions with remarkable efficiency.

Ultrathin CdS nanosheets (NSs) are intriguing in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution . Severe photo-corrosion and rapid recombination of electrons and holes, however, impair their applications. To solve this problem, a novel step-scheme (S-scheme) 2D CdS/W 18 O 49 heterostructure with strong interfacial interactions and large contact interface has been successfully designed. Due to the ultrathin structure of CdS, defect-rich W 18 O 49 NSs-assembled network, unique 2D heterostructure and state-of-the-art S-scheme mode, 40 wt% CdS/W 18 O 49 (CW40) shows a prominent photocatalytic H 2 production rate of 15.4 mmol g −1 h −1 . Besides, the apparent quantum efficiency of CW40 is up to 15.4 % under light at λ = 370 nm. Besides, the as-prepared CW40 can protect CdS from photo-corrosion, exhibiting outstanding stability over 24 h circular reaction. Our work provides an out-of-box solution to broaden the application potential of certain catalysts with inherent drawbacks and offers fresh insight into the design and preparation of highly-efficient 2D heterostructures for versatile applications.

Development of efficient and stable photocatalysts is of essential for photocatalytic degradation of refractory organics in wastewaters. Herein, the novel S-scheme MoSe 2 /AgBr (MS/AB) heterojunctions were synthesized for antibiotics degradation. Various characterization results showed that the S-scheme MS/AB photocatalysts exhibited efficient carriers’ separation and strong redox potential. Tetracycline (TC) (20 mg/L) degradation efficiency of 81.4% was achieved using the 5MS/AB within 90 min at pH of 9, superior to those of the counterparts. Photogenerated carriers' transfer and photocatalytic reaction mechanism of the S-scheme MoSe 2 /AgBr heterojunction were deduced by DFT calculation, in-situ XPS and work function calculation. Moreover, possible degradation pathways of TC were proposed based on identified intermediates, and most of the intermediates showed lower toxicity than that of TC. The 5MS/AB photocatalyst also showed great stability and excellent antibacterial effect. This study advances the design of efficient photocatalysts and enriches related mechanisms.
