Carbon nanotubes and reduced graphene oxides (CNTs/rGO) sphere decorated with Cu 2 O, CuO nanoparticles (Cu x O–CNTs/rGO) was successfully synthesized by spray drying and post-calcinating method for the first time. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observations confirmed that CNTs/rGO formed a spherical micrometer structure and Cu x O nanoparticles were decorated on their surface. The experimental results indicated that this novel architecture enhanced photocatalytic performance with 97.5% decomposition of methyl orange (MO) after 20 min in the presence of H 2 O 2 under visible light irradiation, which was much higher than that of pure Cu x O powders (31.2%).

The influence of pH-induced structural modifications of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) on their interaction mechanisms with pyrazine compounds was investigated. At a lower pH (4.9, 5.5), MPs aggregated to larger particle sizes due to enhanced the protein–protein interactions. The binding with pyrazine compounds was strongly affected by pH and the nature of flavor compounds. MPs exhibited flavor releasing behavior, probably due to protein–protein interactions and surface tension. Fluorescence analysis revealed that the interaction of pyrazine compounds with MPs followed a combination of static and dynamic quenching. The changes in quenching constant ( K sv ) might be attributed to a dynamic quenching, probably due to protein aggregation. The percentages of free 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine (2,5-DMP) were similar to K sv . Thermodynamic parameters indicated that electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interactions were the major acting forces in the binding of MPs to 2,5-DMP. The binding of 2,5-DMP increased the α-helix content of MPs.

Antimony selenide (Sb 2 Se 3 ) has demonstrated considerable potential and advancement as a light-absorbing material for thin-film solar cells owing to its exceptional optoelectronic characteristics. However, challenges persist in the crystal growth, particularly regarding the nucleation mechanism during pre-selenization process for Sb 2 Se 3 . The defects originating from this process significantly impact the quality of the absorber layer, leading to the degradation in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the device. Herein, the evolution of pre-selenization using rapid thermal processing (RTP) on the crystallization quality of Sb 2 Se 3 film is systematically investigated. By optimizing the initial nucleation process during pre-selenization, resulting in a reduction of grain boundaries and nucleation centers, the Sb 2 Se 3 thin films demonstrate enhanced crystallinity and pinholes-free morphology. It is found that the improved quality of the grain interior and interfaces of the Sb 2 Se 3 absorber can mitigate intrinsic defects within the bulk layer, and passivate interfacial defect recombination. As a result, the short circuit current density ( J SC ) is elevated to 28.97 mA cm −2 , and a competitive efficiency of 9.03% is achieved in Sb 2 Se 3 device. This study provides comprehensive insight into the process of crystal growth and the mechanism for defect suppression, which holds guiding significance for advancing photovoltaic performance.

The separation of stable oil/water emulsions is an urgent global issue. In this work, a porous and superhydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibrous membrane was obtained by first centrifugal spinning PTFE/potato starch fibers and then heat treating the fibers to remove the starch. Results showed that spherical protrusions and irregular striped protrusions appeared on the surface of the prepared PTFE fibers, which significantly increased the roughness and hydrophobicity of the fibrous membrane. In addition, number density and shapes of these protrusions could be tuned by changing the extent of the heat treatment and the potato amylose content during the fiber preparation. The water contact angle on the structured PTFE membranes was as high as 160°, and the water sliding angle was as low as 3.4°. The results of oil/water separation experiments showed that the oil removal rate reached 99.5% based a permeability of 3670 L/m 2 /h, which suggested that the obtained PTFE fibrous membrane has great potential for use in oil/water emulsions separation.

Novel efficient visible and near-infrared emitting phosphors NaY(MoO 4 ) 2 (NYM):Ln 3+ (Ln = Ce and Yb) were proposed in this work. The crystal structure, lattice vibration characteristics, morphology, and luminescent properties of NaY(MoO 4 ) 2 phosphors were described. Sensitization of Ln 3+ from the host with various doping concentrations was investigated. The yellow-green emission was achieved in Ce 3+ single-doped NYM phosphors at UV ultraviolet excitation sensitized by the MoO 4 2− group. Under UV excitation, characteristic emissions of Ce 3+ at 400–700 nm and Yb 3+ at 1000 nm of NYM:Ce,Yb were observed, enabling the spectral down-conversion applications. With the increasing concentration of Yb 3+ , the emission intensity as well as the lifetime of Ce 3+ decreased, confirming the energy transfer from Ce 3+ ions to Yb 3+ ions. And the energy transfer coefficient was 27% for NYM:0.01Ce,0.10Yb phosphor. These results indicate that the as-prepared phosphors have potential applications in optical and photonic devices.

Anodic TiO 2 nanotubes have been intensively studied for the application in supercapacitors , but the formation of nanograss is often avoided for the belief that it may retard capacitive performance. We fabricate TiO 2 nanotubes topped with nanograss by H 3 PO 4 solution soaking and hydrogenation doping, which in fact increases the capacitance of nanotubes in a fast and convenient way. The new structure exhibits an enhanced areal capacitance by up to 67.7% and by up to 23.5% after 2000 times of cycling. The capacitance generally increases with the nanotube length and reaches the maximum with an optimal nanograss length. The electric charge during hydrogenation doping is determined to quantify the general doping effect. Compared with ordinary nanotubes, nanograss has larger contact area with electrolyte during doping. Therefore, the grass-topped structure yields more electric charge and Ti 3+ during doping, which attributes to the improved capacitance.

The isoprene polymerization kinetics by using TiCl 4 /MgCl 2 type Ziegler-Natta catalysts (TMC) with different titanium contents were studied for better understanding the possible active-specie structures of heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalysts for conjugated diene polymerizations. The catalytic features including the catalytic activity (CA), number of active centers ([C*]/[Ti]), rate constant for polymerization (k p ), stereoregularity of these TMC catalysts were studied. The low titanium content catalyst TMC-1 (Ti = 0.09 wt.%) with more isolated mononuclear titanium species showed higher CA and yielded cis-1,4-/trans-1,4- mixed microstructure polyisoprene with low molecular weight ( M w ) in the initial polymerization stage. The medium high titanium content catalyst TMC-2 (Ti = 2.38 wt.%) with more clustered mononuclear titanium species showed lower CA and yielded cis-1,4-/trans-1,4- mixed microstructure polyisoprene with high M w in the early stage of polymerization. The high titanium content catalyst TMC-3 (Ti = 3.76 wt.%) presented lowest CA and yielded high trans-1,4- polyisoprene with higher M w .

PtTe 2 , a member of the noble metal dichalcogenides (NMDs), has aroused great interest in exploring its behavior in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the unique type-II topological semimetallic nature. In this work, a simple template-free hydrothermal method to obtain the phosphorus-doped (P-doped) PtTe 2 nanocages with abundant amorphous and crystalline interface (A/C-P-PtTe 2 ) is developed. Revealed by density functional theory calculations, the atomic Te vacancies can spontaneously form on the basal planes of PtTe 2 by the P doping, which results in the unsaturated Pt atoms exposed as the active sites in the amorphous layer for HER. Owing to the defective structure, the A/C-P-PtTe 2 catalysts have the fast Tafel step determined kinetics in HER, which contributes to an ultralow overpotential ( η = 28 mV at 10 mA cm −2 ) and a small Tafel slope of 37 mV dec −1 . More importantly, benefiting from the inner stable crystalline P-PtTe 2 nanosheets, limited decay of the performance is observed after chronopotentiometry test. This work reveals the important role of the inherent relationship between structure and activity in PtTe 2 for HER, which may bring another enlightenment for the design of efficient catalysts based on NMDs in the near future.

To develop low-cost, high-capacity and long-life anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, glucose-C and F-doped C coated SiO composites with adjustable pore structure (p-SiO@gl-C@F-doped C) are synthesized by facile and scalable methods. The combination of the heterogeneous dual-carbon shells and porous structure significantly promotes the reaction kinetics of the electrode, effectively suppresses and buffers the volume expansion of SiO, and largely enhances the stability of solid electrolyte interface of the electrode. In a half cell, the optimized p-SiO@gl-C@F-doped C (7:3) composite shows a stable discharge capacity of 785 mAh g −1 at a current density of 200 mA g −1 . The discharge capacity is maintained at 772 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles. At a current density of 400 mA g −1 , the electrode shows a discharge capacity of 633 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles, with a capacity degradation of ∼0.0096% per cycle from the 2nd cycle to the 500th cycle. The full cell which is composed of the commercial LiFePO 4 as a cathode and the optimized composite as an anode, exhibits high capacity and good cycling stability.

Two-dimensional (2D) vertical heterojunctions possess peculiar electronic and optoelectronic properties according to their complementary composition, ultrathin thickness, and unique geometry. However, it is still a challenge to synthesize 2D vertical heterojunctions based on non-layered materials due to strong covalent bonds and abundant surface dangling bonds. Here we developed a partial cation exchange method for the synthesis of 2D vertical Cu2S/CdS heterojunctions. Large-size and single-crystalline CdS nanosheets prepared by a van der Waals epitaxy method served as host lattices for cation exchange reactions. The evolution of the nanosheets in terms of their morphology, composition and crystal structure was elaborately characterized. The as-prepared 2D vertical heterojunctions have two-layer ultra-thin structures and form large-area junctions at their interfaces. Under light irradiation, the photogenerated electron–hole pairs can be quickly separated under the electric field in the junction region, minimizing the possibility of charge recombination. As a result, the device based on 2D vertical Cu2S/CdS heterojunctions exhibits a higher photoelectric conversion capability compared with the device based on single-component 2D CdS or Cu2S Schottky junctions. Our work opens up opportunities to explore 2D vertical heterojunctions based on non-layered materials for high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Controllable fabrication of novel and uniform noble metal nanoparticles on a specific support with a superior catalytic or electrocatalytic performance is of significantly importance for practical applications. In this report, we demonstrated an effective way to fabricate uniform thin-walled Pd/polypyrrole (PPy) hollow nanotubes . The prepared Pd/PPy hybrid nanotubes exhibited an excellent peroxidase-like activity to oxidize a typical peroxidase substrate such as 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine in comparison with traditional Pd/C and Pd black catalysts. The outstanding catalytic activity of the Pd/PPy hybrid nanotubes for peroxidase mimicking could be resulting from their unique hollow characteristic and an interfacial effect between PPy and Pd components. Based on the favorable catalytic property of the Pd/PPy hybrid nanotubes, a convenient and rapid colorimetric way to sensitively determine ascorbic acid has been presented. The detection limit was around 0.062 μM and an excellent selectivity was also achieved. The developed detection system in this study could be extended to the fields of bioscience and biotechnology with promising prospects.

The Aurivillius compound Pb x Bi 6− x Fe 0.5 Co 0.5 Ti 4 O 18 thin films were prepared via chemical solution deposition method and the influence of Pb 2+ ions doping on the structure, ferroelectric and leakage properties were studied. With the increasing concentration of Pb 2+ ions, the lattice distortion is increased and the growth of the films along ab plane is promoted. The calculation results show that the internal stress of the films increases with the increase of Pb 2+ concentration. For the samples with low Pb 2+ doping concentration ( x < 0.6), the leakage current densities are also decreased, which can be attributed to the decrease in oxygen vacancy concentration. Due to the enhanced lattice distortion and decreased leakage current densities, the ferroelectric properties are improved. The film with x = 0.2 has a high saturation polarization of 42.3 µC/cm 2 . According to the fitting results, the leakage conduction mechanism is attributed to the combined effect of space-charge-limited conduction mechanism and ionic conduction mechanisms.
