Faster OH − transfer for efficient adsorption on catalysis is key to accelerating the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The diffusion of OH − in electrolyte mainly involves two mechanism which is dependent on the water coordination number (CN): Grotthuss diffusion (4 CN) and vehicular diffusion (5 CN). The Grotthuss diffusion is much faster but the vehicular diffusion of OH − is predominant in the electrolyte. Herein, negatively charged kaolin, which are simply dispersed in the electrolyte, are utilized to provide surface electrostatic attraction to H 2 O and repulsion to OH − to reduce the OH − CN from 5 to 4 for rapid Grotthuss diffusion. This contributes to the accelerated OH − adsorption which facilitates the charge transfer, the formation and the deprotonation of *OOH leading to enhanced OER performance. The OH − CN recovery from 4 to 5 is proved quite slow after leaving the kaolin surface, breaking the limitation that kaolin must be on the catalyst surface. This strategy exhibits universality for various electrocatalysts with reduced overpotential by 10–246 mV at 10 mA cm −2 . We provide a clean, simple and low-cost way to promote the industrial development of alkaline water electrolysis.

A surface functional group modulation method was used to regulate the NO 2 sensing performance of the Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor. The monolayer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene was synthesized from Ti 3 AlC 2 (MAX phase) by hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching. Ar/O 2 hybrid plasma treatment was used to regulate the ratio of hydroxyl and fluorine functional groups (OH/ F) in the Ti 3 C 2 T x surface structure. Room-temperature (RH) NO 2 sensor based on modified Ti 3 C 2 T x was fabricated by the dip coating method. The modified Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor has a higher gas response (45.31 %) to 50 ppm NO 2 compared with the untreated Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor which shows more excellent sensitivity and linearity with the NO 2 concentration of 5–50 ppm. It is due to that the presence of the hydroxyl potential on the Ti 3 C 2 T x surface well amplifies the electronic surface activity of Ti 3 C 2 T x . Concurrently, the modified electronic structure augments the adsorption propensity of Ti 3 C 2 T x for O 2 (2.26 |eV|) and NO 2 (3.24 |eV|), thereby improving the NO 2 sensing capability of the Ti 3 C 2 T x sensor. These results demonstrate that Ti 3 C 2 T x with a high ratio of OH/ F functional groups has great potential in developing high-performance room temperature NO 2 sensors.

The Co(OH) 2 /reduced graphene oxide hybrids (Co(OH) 2 /rGO) was prepared and used as catalyst to enhanced heterogeneous activation of Oxone for the decomposition of Levofloxacin (LVF). The Co(OH) 2 /rGO composites with different Co(OH) 2 loading have been successfully synthesized, where the sample contain 20% Co(OH) 2 exhibited superior activation, attributing to the synergistic effect between Co(OH) 2 and rGO. Meanwhile, the effects of some important reaction parameters on the decomposition of LVF by Co(OH) 2 /rGO/Oxone process were investigated. The results indicated that the decomposition rate of LVF(>94.5%) was increased with the increasing of Oxone concentration, and 20% Co(OH) 2 /rGO dosage neutral pH. Moreover, the Co(OH) 2 /rGO catalyst showed high activity and stability during the repeated experiments.

A new method of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) by sodium humate (HA–Na) and Ca(OH) 2 from carbide slag (CS) solution was proposed. The effects of various operating parameters, such as the additive amount of HA–Na, pH, temperature, gas flow rate, CO 2 inlet concentration, and stirring rate on both the Ca ion concentration and Ca conversion rate were investigated in a lab-scale bubbling reactor. The synergistic mechanism of HA–Na and Ca(OH) 2 from CS on CCS is also put forward and demonstrated. The experimental results indicate that HA–Na may improve significantly the CCS capability of CS since the Ca conversion rate of CS is increased 10% by HA–Na additive. The pH is a key factor for the CO 2 absorption process and HA–Na may lower the rate of pH decrease of Ca(OH) 2 solution. The increasing temperature, stirring rate, and CO 2 inlet concentration are favorable to CO 2 capture, as well as low gas flow rate. Ca(OH) 2 from CS mixed with HA–Na solution shows good performance in CO 2 uptake, and the Ca conversion rate reaches 99% with 100 mL of Ca(OH) 2 (1.5 g/L) solution mixed with 0.1 g HA–Na at 40 °C, a gas flow rate of 0.1 L/min, and an inlet CO 2 concentration of 100% at ambient pressure. Moreover, calcite CaCO 3 is is identified as the main product of CO 2 capture by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis.

In order to resolve the pollution and waste caused by urea-rich wastewater, designing superior and stable earth-abundant catalysts for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) have always been attractive and urgent but still challenging. Herein, we report on a facile surface-engineering strategy of building hierarchical nickel hydroxide nanosheet@nanowire array on Ni foam (Ni(OH) 2 NS@NW/Ni foam) as anode material toward superior urea electrolysis. This Ni(OH) 2 based-catalyst with peculiar nanosheet@nanowire configuration just requires a small potential of 0.34 V ( vs. SCE) to drive 10 mA cm −2 in 1.0 M KOH with 0.33 M urea, which outperforms the one with pure nanosheet array architecture and even the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Further, a two-electrode electrolysis system is built here with the cathode of cobalt phosphide nanowire array on Ni foam (Co 2 P NW/Ni foam) and anode of Ni(OH) 2 NS@NW/Ni foam for overall urea electrolysis, which needs a low voltage of 1.58 V to drive 5 mA cm −2 in 1.0 M KOH with 0.33 M urea. Note that, the current density presented in this work is based on the real surface area of Ni foam but not the geometric area, unless otherwise specified.

It is crucial for energy storage devices to construct electrode materials with excellent performance. However, enhancing energy density and cycling stability for supercapacitors is a significant challenge. We successfully synthesized CoNi2S4@Ni(OH)2nanosheets on the surface of Ni foam substrate by a two-step hydrothermal approach. The obtained products exhibit a remarkable areal capacitance of 1534 F g−1at a current density of 1 A g−1. Moreover, even after 10,000 cycles, the specific capacitance remains 90% of its initial value, highlighting the exceptional long-term stability and durability. Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device incorporating the CoNi2S4@Ni(OH)2material shows remarkable electrochemical performance. It delivers an energy density of 58.5 mW h g−1at a power density of 2700 W kg−1. The outstanding performance mainly arises from the selection of materials, the design of the structure, and the synergistic interaction between the materials. The result suggests that this material holds great potential as an energy storage material.

For large-scale hydrogen production from electrocatalysis of water, the Ni- and/or Fe-based catalysts were commonly used but limited by the ultrahigh overpotential and poor stability at high current density (>500 mA cm−2). Here, the reconstruction of M(OH)x/Fe3O4 (M = Ni, Fe) arrays has been fabricated for boosting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The prepared M(OH)x/Fe3O4 grewon iron foam (M(OH)x/Fe3O4/IF) catalysts exhibited low overpotentials of 214 and 311 mV for OER at the current densities of 50 and 500 mA cm−2, respectively, besides the excellent stability up to 70 h of operation at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH. The in situ Raman spectra revealed that, the reconstruction of M(OH)x/Fe3O4/IF boosted the OER activity. Theoretical calculation revealed favorable absorption of O2 at Ni site of M(OH)x/Fe3O4/IF during OER. This work highlights the reconstruction structurally definite catalysts for promoting the catalytic activity toward OER and the large-scale electrocatalysis of water.

The urea oxidation reaction (UOR) is considered as an alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction for high-efficiency hydrogen production, because it can simultaneously achieve wastewater treatment and hydrogen production. However, the slow kinetics of the UOR hinder its widespread adoption due to relatively complex molecule, it is urgent to rational design and preparation of high-performance UOR catalysts. Herein, we report a simple synthesis of the NiMn-LDH@Rh(OH) 3 heterostructure and a systematic investigation of urea-assisted electrolytic hydrogen production， significantly enhances the efficiency of urea electrolysis. The amorphous Rh(OH) 3 structure provides a higher density of active sites and greater catalytic surface exposure, while the synergistic interaction between Rh(OH) 3 and NiMn-LDH improves both electrical conductivity and catalytic performance. The catalyst of NiMn-LDH@Rh(OH) 3 –3 requires only 1.29 V overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm −2 in a 1.0 M KOH and 0.33 M urea solution, surpassing other catalysts. Furthermore, it demonstrates remarkable stability with minimal potential increase during 48-hour chronopotentiometric tests at 100 mA cm −2 . This work making the developed strategy promising for the rational design of highly active electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production and the treatment of urea-rich wastewater.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great importance in splitting water. However, the sluggish OER kinetics at the anode severely hinders the H 2 evolution at the cathode which is a crucial procedure for energy storage. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new OER catalyst of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y via a one-step hydrothermal method, where the incorporation of WO 4 2 − as a condenser greatly enhanced the electrocatalytic activity of Co(OH) 2 toward OER. Moreover, the introduction of mesoporous carbon (MC) further improves the electrocatalytic performance of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y by forming the nanocomposites of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y /MC. The synergism between Co(OH) 2 and WO 4 2 − and the synergistic catalytic effect of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y and MC majorly contributed to the apparently enhanced electrocatalysis of Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y /MC toward OER. This work provides an efficient strategy to improve the electrocatalytic activity of Co(OH) 2 by introducing WO 4 2 − and forming nanocomposites between Co(OH) x (WO 4 ) y and MC for low-cost, convenient and highly efficient water oxidation.

A high-efficient composite of flame retardant (CFR) composed of an aluminum hydroxide (ATH) core and an aluminum phosphate (AP) flower-like shell was synthesized by an in-situ growth method, which is low cost and easy-to-handle. It has been demonstrated that flame retardancy and smoke suppression of (ethylene-vinyl acetate) EVA/CFR were enhanced compared to EVA/ATH attributed to the high-efficiency heat barrier and gas isolation of ceramic char residues mainly composed of Al 2 O 3 porcelain agents and AlPO 4 sintering aids. Thus, the novel hierarchical core-shell AlPO 4 @Al(OH) 3 might supersede the ATH as flame retardants.

NiFe hydroxide has emerged as a highly promising electrocatalyst in water electrolysis, yet its application in catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains challenging. Herein, we report a corrosion-reconstruction strategy to fabricate RuO2 nanocluster-endowed NiFe hydroxide [RuO2/NiFe(OH)x] as an efficient electrocatalyst for HER application. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide insight into the HER mechanism, revealing that the reconstructed surface enriched with RuO2 nanoclusters optimally adsorbs water molecules. This modification also induces a shift of the *H adsorption site from oxygen atoms to ruthenium atoms due to electron transfer effects, facilitating the desorption of *H and promoting efficient H2 formation. The synthesized RuO2/NiFe(OH)x catalyst delivers prominent HER activity (149 mV at 100 mA cm-2) and robust operational stability in a water-splitting device, sustaining 200 mA cm-2 for 100 h with almost no obvious voltage increment. Importantly, the fabrication of a large-area electrode demonstrates that this simple, room-temperature corrosion-reconstruction strategy is a promising and viable route for the application of HER electrocatalysts.

In this study, an excellent phosphate adsorbent was prepared for removing phosphate to an extremely low concentration. The La(OH) 3 nano-rods stabilizing in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers (PLNFs) were prepared by electrospinning and a subsequent in situ precipitation. PAN nanofibers were employed as the matrix of the composite nanofibers, where the well-dispersed La(OH) 3 nano-rods were encapsulated as the active species for highly efficient phosphate capture owing to the strong binding between phosphate and lanthanum. On account of the nano-structure, the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity was 151.98 mg P/g (La), much higher than the result of La(OH) 3 nano-crystal, produced by precipitation without PAN or any organic surfactants. Moreover, the PLNFs could remove phosphate (2 mg P/L) to an extremely low concentration within 20 min, which could lead to a nutrient deficient condition to protect water quality and ecosystem. The optimization of PLNFs design was implemented through parameter adjustment of electrospinning. Lanthanum salt content, humidity, concentration of solution and applied voltage were chosen to analyze the influences on the composition, diameter and morphology of the nanofibers, giving the result that the most effective adsorbent was the PLNFs with spider-web-like nano-structures. The La(OH) 3 nano-rods stabilizing in polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PLNFs) were prepared by electrospinning and a subsequent in situ precipitation. The maximum phosphate adsorption capacity by PLNFs was 151.98 mg P/g (La). The PLNFs could remove phosphate (2 mg P/L) to an extremely low concentration within 20 min. The PLNFs with spider-web-like nano-structures showed the highest phosphate removal.
