Ruthenium (Ru), with a hydrogen binding energy comparable to platinum (Pt) and stronger oxygen affinity, is a promising platform for designing hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) catalysts. Nevertheless, the practical application of Ru-based catalysts is still hampered by limited intrinsic activity and poor CO tolerance. In this work, a RuIr alloy supported on titanium oxide (RuIr/TiO) is obtained as an efficient and durable catalyst for alkaline HOR. The mass activity of RuIr/TiO reaches to 10.36 A mg −1 PGM at the overpotential of 50 mV, which is 4.84 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C. Under 1000 ppm CO/H 2 , RuIr/TiO shows only a 6.85 % drop in current density after a long-time electrolysis, outperforming commercial Pt/C (27.84 %). Experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that alloying and strong metal-support interaction can induce interfacial charge redistribution and modulate the electronic structure of the active Ru site, thereby accelerate the reaction kinetics of alkaline HOR, optimize H adsorption, and enhance OH binding, leading to the promoted oxidation of CO on the catalyst surface.

The development of supported metal hydride catalysts with abundant active sites is a highly desirable yet challenging endeavor in ammonia synthesis. In this work, a lithium hydride (LiH)-loaded Fe/N-co-doped porous carbon (Fe-N-C) composite (LiH/Fe-N-C) was synthesized and demonstrated as an efficient catalyst for ammonia synthesis under mild conditions. The deposition of LiH onto Fe-N-C induced a partial reduction of the Fe-N moiety, resulting in the slight aggregation of isolated Fe single-atom sites into nanoparticles. Under reducing conditions (in the presence of H2), the coordinated nitrogen in Fe-N-C can be removed, forming nitrogen vacancies (VN), while surface iron hydride species (Fe-H) are generated through the interaction between LiH and Fe-N-C. The presence of Fe atoms adjacent to VN facilitates the adsorption and activation of dinitrogen, a process that is further supported by the replenishment of VN under reaction conditions. Notably, no lithium imide or amide species (Li2NH or LiNH2) — typically regarded as key intermediates in LiH-mediated ammonia synthesis, were observed on LiH/Fe-N-C, likely due to the fast hydrogenation step. Consequently, LiH/Fe-N-C achieves an ammonia production rate of 872 mmol·gFe-1·h-1, surpassing the performance of state-of-the-art Fe-based catalysts at 300 oC and 1 MPa. This study demonstrates that the synergistic catalysis of LiH, transition metals, and their adjacent nitrogen vacancies offers a promising pathway for efficient ammonia synthesis under mild conditions.

Background: Bacterial infection can delay wound healing and is therefore a major threat to public health. Although various strategies have been developed to treat bacterial infections, antibiotics remain the best option to combat infections. The inclusion of growth factors in the treatment
approach can also accelerate wound healing. The co-delivery of antibiotics and growth factors for the combined treatment of wounds needs further investigation.Objective: Here we aimed to develop antibiotic and growth factor co-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) to treat Staphylococcus aureus-infected
wounds.Methods: By using our previously prepared reactive oxygen species-responsive material (Oxi-αCD), roxithromycin (ROX)-loaded NPs (ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs) and recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF)/ROX co-loaded NPs (rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs) were successfully fabricated.
The in vivo efficacy of this prepared nanomedicine was evaluated in mice with S. aureus-infected wounds.Results: ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs and rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs had a spherical structure and their particle sizes were 164 ± 5 nm and 190 ± 8 nm, respectively. The
in vitro antibacterial experiments showed that ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs had a lower minimum inhibitory concentration than ROX. The in vivo animal experiments demonstrated that rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs could significantly accelerate the healing of S. aureus-infected wounds as
compared to the free ROX drug and ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs (P < 0.05).Conclusion: ROX and rhEGF co-loaded NPs can effectively eliminate bacteria in wounds and accelerate wound healing. Our present work could provide a new strategy to combat bacteria-infected wounds.

Low-dimensional nanomaterial separators are considered prime candidates for next-generation lithium-ion battery separators due to their higher porosity and thinner thickness. For polyolefin materials, there is no suitable solvent for solution electrospinning, the low yield of melt electrospinning, and the large size of melt-blown fibers make it challenging to efficiently prepare polyolefin low-dimensional nanomaterials. Moreover, polyolefin materials have been criticized for poor electrolyte wettability and insufficient thermal stability. Herein, polypropylene (PP) nanobelts (NBs) are prepared via a high-efficient nanolayer co-extrusion technique as supporting skeleton to suppress the shrinkage of natural cellulose separators during dehydration effectively, and the cellulose fibers have optimized pore size to prevent internal short circuits. The results indicate that the as-prepared PPNBs/cellulose composite separator (PPNBs/CS) with sandwich structure has superior porosity (78.4%) and ionic conductivity (1.04 mS cm −1 ). Meanwhile, the thermal stability, electrolyte uptake, and tensile strength are all significantly improved due to the synergies between PPNBs and cellulose fibers. More importantly, the LiFePO 4 ||PPNBs/CSs||LM half cells exhibit better rate-performance and cycling durability than Celgard® 2400. Similarly, the NCM811||LM half cells and NCM811||graphite full cells assembled from PPNBs/CS-1/2 also exhibit good electrochemical performance. This work opens a new approach for easy batch preparation of high-performance lithium-ion battery separators.

In this study, a facile and environmentally friendly method with low energy consumption for preparing nanoscale AgCl and BaSO 4 co-precipitates (AgCl@BaSO 4 co-precipitates) was developed based on the metathetical reaction. Then, the dried co-precipitates were melt-compounded with polyamide 6 (PA6) resins at a specified mass ratio in a twin-screw extruder. The results demonstrated that in the absence of any coating agent or carrier, the nanoparticles of AgCl@BaSO 4 co-precipitates were homogeneously dispersed in the PA6 matrix. Further analysis showed that after the addition of AgCl@BaSO 4 co-precipitates, the antibacterial performance, along with the flame-retardance and anti-dripping characteristics of PA6, was enhanced significantly. In addition, the PA6 composites possessed high spinnability in producing preoriented yarn.

The improved TiB2 ceramics were obtained in sintering process at the pressure of 5.5 GPa and temperature of 1550 °C in presence of metallic Co powder. The effect of Co content (ranging from 0 wt.% to 10.0 wt.%) on the phase composition, density, microstructure, Vickers hardness and thermal conductivity of TiB2 ceramics was analyzed. A small amount of new phase Co2B has been created in the reaction of TiB2 and Co. The relative density of sintered TiB2 ceramics reached 98.1 %. When the mass fraction of Co increased, the porosity increased, while the hardness first increased and then decreased. The maximal Vickers hardness values were equal to 33.3 GPa or 28.2 GPa when the used load was of 4.9 N or 9.8 N, respectively. The highest reached value of thermal conductivity was 88.9 W˙m−1 ˙ K−1. The dense TiB2 ceramics with improved hardness and thermal conductivity were ascribed to the high pressure sintering method and Co sintering aid. High pressure sintering method provides a new way for the preparation of ceramics materials.

Abstract Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)/poly(butylene adipate- co -butylene terephthalate) composites enhanced compatibility with phthalic anhydride were one-step prepared via melt blending. The obtained composites then underwent squeezing treatment in a two-roll milling equipment at a given temperature. CNC/PBAT composites were separated and then tested via FTIR and UV–Vis spectrophotometer. During reactive blending, phthalic anhydride selectively reacts with CNC. Before squeezing, tensile strength of CNC/PBAT composites is weakened with increasing phthalic anhydride content. After squeeze treatment at an extension ratio of 6, tensile strength of CNC/PBAT (3/97) is dramatically increased from 29.6 to 148.0 MPa, which is much higher than that of pristine PBAT 85.0 MPa. SEM and WAXD results show that PBAT crystallinity is increased after orientation, and CNC show an orientation arrangement along force direction in PBAT matrix.

Lithium–sulfur batteries are considered as one of the most potential energy storage devices in the future owing to their ideal theoretical energy density and specific capacity. However, the shuttle of soluble polysulfides and sluggish redox kinetics of polysulfides lead to insufficient use efficiency of active sulfur and the rapid capacity fading. In this study, novel Co-doped g-C3N4 (Co–CN) nanosheets are fabricated by a simple calcination process. The high discharge capacity of the commercial bulk S cathode with the Co–CN-modified separator is 1121 mAh g–1 at 0.2C with a satisfying rate performance of up to 3C. The Co–CN-modified separator also leads to excellent stability (640 mAh g–1 after 250 cycles) with high Coulombic efficiency of over 98%. At the sulfur mass loading of 3 mg cm–2, the cell can still deliver a discharge capacity of 719 mAh g–1 after 100 cycles with a high capacity retention of 95%. The improved performance can be attributed to the effective restriction of polysulfides shuttle due to the enhanced adsorption and catalytic conversion of polysulfides by the Co–CN nanosheet-modified separator. This work shares a simple and highly efficient strategy for increasing the performance of lithium–sulfur batteries.

A series of CoMoO 4 hydrates composed of nanorods have been synthesized with different alcohol–water solvent systems, and the corresponding Co–Mo sulfides are obtained after sequential calcination and sulfurization. The characterization results show the change in solvent system can efficiently adjust the particle size of the Co–Mo precursors, while cannot affect their components and morphologies. Because of the different particle size, the specific surface areas (SSA) of the final Co–Mo sulfides are different. The particles with small size can lead to a high SSA that benefits the exposure and dispersion of active components, and further promote the incorporation of MoS 2 slabs with Co atoms to form “Co–Mo–S” structures on the surface of the sulfides. More “Co–Mo–S” structures would create more coordinative unsaturated sites with high activity in situ during hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reaction, resulting in a higher HDS activity. Among the Co–Mo sulfides, since S-m/w derived from methanol–water system possesses the smallest particle size and the most active sites, it naturally exhibits the highest HDS activity toward dibenzothiophene.

Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) reduction and removal of atrazine, one typical endocrine disruptor chemical, was achieved on Pd quantum dots modified TiO2 nanotubes (PdQDs@TiO2NTs) under regulating potentials. Compared with that on TiO2NTs, the PEC reduction efficiency of atrazine on PdQDs@TiO2NTs significantly increased, mainly attributed to the reduced electron transfer resistance, longer lifetime of the photogenerated electrons and the faster electron injection from the catalyst to atrazine in the solution. Meanwhile, PdQDs could also function as cocatalyst so that the electrocatalytic activity of PdQDs@TiO2NTs was evidently improved. Moreover, the investigation indicated that the applied potential not only played important role in accelerating the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, but also with the increment of the cathodic potential, the PEC reduction mechanism of atrazine underwent the variation of electro-assisted photocatalysis, synergetic photoelectro-catalysis, and photoassisted electro-catalysis. A highest atrazine PEC reduction efficiency was achieved as 99.5% on PdQDs@TiO2NTs in about 5 h under the potential of −1.3 V vs. SCE, whereas the highest synergetic effect of photo- and electro- catalysis was achieved at a lower potential of −0.9 V vs. SCE.

Heteroatoms-doped hierarchical porous carbons have attracted considerable interest owing to their efficient utility in supercapacitors . However, the increase of defects tends to sacrifice the electrical conductivity of carbon materials. Therefore, it is of great significance to build a good conductive network by increasing the graphitization degree of porous carbons . Here, this study reports the use of serine phosphate protic salt ([Seri][H 2 PO 4 ]), Pluronic F127 and cobalt nitrate to engineer the N/O/P co-doped hierarchical porous graphitic carbon materials. The Co 2+ catalyzes the graphitization of porous carbons under high temperature. A large number of mesopores, highly doped heteroatoms (O: 4.2 wt%, N: 4.07 wt%, P: 0.81 wt%) and conductive carbon skeleton boost the ultrafast transport of electrons and ions, resulting in high specific capacitance, wide operating voltage and outstanding rate performance. The symmetric supercapacitor assembled in KOH electrolyte shows good frequency response with the scan rate up to 1.5 V s −1 on the working voltage of 0–1.3 V. At the same time, when the power density reaches up to 21.3 kW kg −1 , its energy density remains 8.74 W h kg −1 . Furthermore, the symmetric supercapacitor delivers a high energy density of 81.42 W h kg −1 at the power density of 875 W kg −1 with an ultrahigh working voltage of 3.5 V in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF 4 ) electrolyte. More promisingly, all-solid device based on the optimized sample exhibits outstanding flexibility, which greatly broadens its practicability. This work marks the importance of the balance between porous structure, heteroatom doping and high conductivity for advanced supercapacitors .

Polyimide (PI) film have been synthesized and used extensively in energy transmission, wind power generation, new energy vehicles, lidar, and high-power weapons, et al. Nevertheless, it is still challenge to further improve the breakdown strength and dielectric constant of PI film. After the powders of Al0.5xNb0.5xSi1-xO2 (NASO (x mol%)) have been fabricated, it was analyzed that the effect of doping elements Al3+ and Nb5+ on the surface chemistry and microstructure of the NASO powder. And then a small amount of NASO powder was polymerized in situ with PI matrix material, and the effects of NASO on dielectric properties and breakdown strength of the NASO/PI composites were analyzed. The results showed that the introduction of the doping elements Al3+ and Nb5+ favors could be conductive to the formation of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the NASO particle, which improved the surface activity and chemical reactivity of the NASO particle. The PI matrix can efficiently capture additional charges and enhance the insulating characteristics of the NASO/PI composite by properly doping NASO fillers with specific defect concentrations. In the results the breakdown strength of 1 vol% NASO (1 mol%)/PI composites reaches 334.38 kV/mm, which is a 19.6% higher than that of PI. Because the traps in the fillers capture and suppress the carrier transport to enhance the insulating properties of the composites. This work offers a novel synthesis method to simultaneously produce polymer dielectrics with high insulation and high polarization.
