All-solid-state lithium sulfur battery is considered as one of the most promising candidates for the future application due to high theoretical energy density and enhanced safety. However, the all-solid-state lithium sulfur battery based on Li 7 P 3 S 11 solid electrolyte has serious interface issues between electrode and solid electrolyte. The reaction of lithium metal and Li 7 P 3 S 11 solid electrolyte would form a layer without lithium-ion conducting, which could impend the lithium-ion transfer and transport during cycling and causes increase of internal resistance and capacity fading. Herein, we introduce a solid electrolyte Li 7 P 3 S 11 with BN doping for the all-solid-state lithium sulfur battery. The BN nanoflakes could partially isolate the Li 7 P 3 S 11 solid electrolyte and lithium metal, thus improving the interfacial compatibility of electrode and electrolyte. With BN doped Li 7 P 3 S 11 used as solid electrolyte, the all-solid-state Li/S battery exhibits an enhanced electrochemical performance with better cycling stability and higher Coulombic efficiency.

The selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) is an effective method for removing slipped high-concentration ammonia from NH 3 -fueled engine exhaust gas. Herein a novel bifunctional catalyst was synthesized by mechanically mixing sulfated Ce/ZrO 2 (Ce/ZrO 2 -S) with a small fraction of Pt/Al 2 O 3 (Pt 0.1 wt.%) for SCO of NH 3 . As expected, the introduction of a small amount of Pt/Al 2 O 3 significantly improved NH 3 conversion ability of Ce/ZrO 2 -S catalysts toward low-temperature direction. When the mass ratio of Pt/Al 2 O 3 to Ce/ZrO 2 -S was 7.5% (the corresponding mixed catalyst was denoted as P@CZS-7.5), T 90 temperature was 312 °C. More importantly, P@CZS-7.5 catalyst exhibited a much better N 2 selectivity (> 96%) in a wide temperature range (320 ~ 450 °C). H 2 -TPR results revealed that the addition of a trace amount of Pt/Al 2 O 3 significantly led to a distinct shift of reduction temperature peak toward low-temperature direction, thereby greatly improved the low-temperature redox performance of mixed catalysts. Furthermore, NH 3 -TPD and BET results showed that P@CZS-7.5 catalyst exhibited a similar NH 3 adsorption capacity to Ce/ZrO 2 -S catalyst, while the former had a relatively higher specific surface area than the latter. It was considered as a crucial factor for P@CZS-7.5 catalyst maintaining superior N 2 selectivity in high-concentration NH 3 (5000 ppm) removal processes. In situ DRIFTS results indicated that P@CZS-7.5 catalyst followed the internal selective catalytic reduction (i-SCR) mechanism in NH 3 -SCO reactions.

TiNb 2 O 7 (TNO) shows high stability and safety, positioning it as a promising candidate for the development of anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, its large-scale application is limited by the sluggish ion and electron transport kinetics within the bulk material. To address this issue, a powerful integrated electrode design is employed to grow TNO nanoparticles on carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays to form NS-C/N-TNO/CNTs. Moreover, biphasic doping including N doping in TNO and N/S codoping in carbon coating on the surface of TNO can be simultaneously achieved via the thermal decomposition of thiourea. Benefiting from the CNT arrays and biphasic doping, the composite possesses enhanced electrical conductivity both outside and inside TNO. Under the influence of the comprehensive advantages mentioned above, the NS-C/N-TNO/CNT composite demonstrates exceptional high-rate performance (352 mA h g −1 at 1 C and 142 mA h g −1 at 30 C).

The electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are key electrochemical processes in metal–air batteries and water splitting devices. Aluminium–air batteries, as an important type of metal–air battery, have been considered to be promising power candidates for flexible electronics. Here, we describe electronically engineered amorphous Fe–Co–S sites embedded in Prussian blue analogue (FeCoSx-PBA) hetero-nanoframes. The experimental results and DFT calculations reveal the critical role of the introduced FeCoSx layer to PBA, which enhances the electron transfer and alleviates the overbinding effect of OH* during the OER. The FeCoSx-PBA hybrid system supplies an optimized electronic structure for the alkaline OER, which is also confirmed by the much-lowered overpotential (266 mV at 10 mA cm−2) for the alkaline OER. Furthermore, a flexible Al–air battery based on an FeCoSx-PBA cathode catalyst exhibits a high peak power density (58.3 mW cm−2) and energy density (1483 W h kgAl−1), and outstanding stability for more than 50 h of operation under bending or stretching conditions, demonstrating its potential in the practical application of flexible electronic devices. Our results may provide a new strategy of modulating the electronic structure of air electrode catalysts to efficiently promote the reactivity of alkaline OER and Al–air battery processes.

The annealing temperature of solution-processed Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) precursor films has been carefully optimized for favorable selenization. At higher temperature, more solvent will be removed, and the crystallinity of the precursor films can be improved. It is found that, although the crystallinity of selenized film is continuously enhanced by increasing the temperature, a dense CZTSSe film with round and large grains can only be achieved at medium high temperature ranging from 350 to 400 °C. Further investigation reveals that, in this regime, the carrier and defect densities are obviously reduced, leading to average photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) improved from 5.1% to 9.4%. An optimal annealing temperature of 380 °C is obtained and up to 10.04% of photoelectric conversion efficiency has been achieved.

Ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) is an important electrode reaction in ethanol fuel cells. However, there are many problems with commercial ethanol oxidation electrocatalysts today, such as poor durability, poor anti-CO poisoning ability, and low selectivity for C–C bond cleavage. Therefore, it is very meaningful to develop a high-performance EOR catalyst. Herein, we designed ternary N, S, and P-doped hollow carbon spheres (C–N,P,S) from polyphosphazene (PCCP) as Pd supports for EOR. Using SiO2spheres as the templates, the PCCP was first coated on the surfaces of SiO2spheres by in situ polymerization. Through high-temperature pyrolysis and hydrofluoric acid-etching, the hollow PCCP has a large surface area and porous structure. After loading Pd nanoparticles (NPs), the Pd/C–N, P, S catalysts with Pd NPs decorated on the surfaces of C–N, P, S can achieve a high mass peak current density of 1686 mA mgPd−1, which was 2.8 times greater than that of Pd/C. Meanwhile, the Pd/C–N, P, S catalyst also shows a better stability than that of Pd/C after a durability test of 3600s.

Graphical Rational engineering of the carbonyl reductase PhADH resulted in a double mutant H93C/A139L, which enhanced the enantioselectivity toward the reduction of 3-cyclopentyl-3-ketopropanenitrile 1 a from 85 % to 99 %, as well as a 6-fold improvement in the specific activity. ( S )-3-Cyclopentyl-3-hydroxypropanenitrile (( S )- 1 b ) was prepared at 200 g/L (1.5 M) substrate concentration. ( S )-3-Cyclopentyl-3-hydroxypropanenitrile is the key precursor for the synthesis of ruxolitinib. The bioreduction of 3-cyclopentyl-3-ketopropanenitrile ( 1 a ) offers an attractive method to access this important compound. A carbonyl reductase (PhADH) from Paraburkholderia hospita catalyzed the reduction of 1 a giving the ( S )-alcohol ( 1 b ) with 85 % ee. Rational engineering of PhADH resulted in a double mutant H93C/A139L, which enhanced the enantioselectivity from 85 % to >98 %, as well as a 6.3-fold improvement in the specific activity. The bioreduction of 1 a was performed at 200 g/L (1.5 M) substrate concentration, leading to isolation of ( S )- 1 b in 91 % yield. Similarly, using this mutant enzyme, 3-cyclohexyl-3-ketopropanenitrile ( 2 a ) and 3-phenyl-3-ketopropanenitrile ( 3 a ) were reduced at high concentration affording the corresponding alcohols in >99 % ee, and 90 % and 92 % yield, respectively. The results showed that the variant H93C/A139L was a powerful biocatalyst for reduction of β-substituted-β-ketonitriles.

An exquisitely designed nanostructure and hybridizing with heteroatom-doped carbon can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the transition metal sulfides (TMSs). Herein, three-dimensional (3D) hollow N, P, S codoped carbon (NPSC) shells encapsulated with uniformly dispersed cobalt sulfide nanoparticles (Co1–xS/HNPSCS) are synthesized for supercapacitors (SCs) by the sulfuration and carbonization of poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol) (PZS)-functionalized cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67). The PZS protects the ZIF-67 from collapsing and convert it in situ into NPSC shells, which are conducive to exposing abundant active sites and accelerating the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. As a result, the Co1–xS/HNPSCS presents an unrivaled specific capacity of 1058.9 C g–1 at 1 A g–1. The assembled Co1–xS/HNPSCS//AC hybrid SC (HSC) demonstrates a remarkable energy density of 57.8 W h kg–1 at a power density of 375 W kg–1. Density functional theory calculations show that the synergy between the Co1–xS and NPSC can optimize the electronic configuration, improve the conductivity, and enhance the adsorption of OH– on the surface of the electrode material. Besides, the quantum capacitance of the carbon layer is also increased by N, P, S codoping. This work exhibits an effective strategy to fabricate TMS/HNPSCS and offers theoretical and methodological guidance for the study of NPSC coating materials.

Purpose Arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) are toxic elements that usually co-occur in paddy soils due to their chemical similarity. Those elements are redox-sensitive and shift their species across the soil–water interface (SWI) where redox potentials change in every millimeter. In the real world, the distribution and speciation of As and Sb in soils are often influenced by external redox disturbance, but their temporospatial response remains poorly understood. This study aimed to address this gap by introducing external disturbance by adding nitrate into the overlying water. Methods Daily changes in the profile of As, Sb, iron (Fe), and sulfur (S) were measured using ICP-MS and the In-situ Porewater Iterative (IPI) sampler array. Results The results revealed a rapid formation of a sink for As and Fe at the oxic-anoxic transition zone within one day, persisting for at least 6 days and extending to ~ 30 mm below the SWI. Moreover, Sb was re-mobilized in the same area as the As and Fe sink, but the re-mobilized Sb zone was weaker, lasting only 4 days and extending to ~ 20 mm below the SWI. The presence of aqueous ferrous Fe below the transition zone facilitated the formation of Fe and As sink, while the presence of aqueous sulfide below the transition zone hindered the development of the Sb source. Conclusion These findings highlight the importance of carefully evaluating the impact of nitrate-based fertilizers or stabilization reagents when applied in As and Sb contaminated soils.

The development of lithium–sulfur batteries is limited due to its notorious "shuttle effect". Heteroatoms are introduced to the host materials to absorb the polysulfides and further to alleviate the shuttle effect. Herein, porous carbon (NSPC) was successfully prepared by template method and used as sulfur host material. The results show that NSPC has a high specific surface area (697.19 m 2 g −1 ) and abundant heteroatom doping, which helps to enhance the capture and absorption of polysulfides. The prepared S@NSPC was loaded with 76% sulfur, and the composite electrode displayed excellent cycle stability because of its strong polysulfide absorption. The S@NSPC composite electrode shows high initial specific capacity of 741.8 mAh g −1 at 167.5 mA g −1 , the capacity of the S@NSPC composite electrode remained 609.8 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles, and the attenuation per cycle was only 0.027%, showing good stability.

The development of kesterite photovoltaic solar cells has been hindered by large open-circuit voltage ( V oc ) deficit. Recently, Sn Zn deep point defect and associative defect cluster have been recognized as the main culprit for the V oc losses. Therefore, manipulating the deep-level donor of Sn Zn antisite defects is crucial for breaking through the bottleneck of present Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) photovoltaic technology. In this study, the Sn Zn deep traps in CZTSSe absorber layer are suppressed by incorporation of Ge. The energy levels and concentration of Sn Zn defects measured by deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) decrease significantly. In addition, the grain growth of CZTSSe films is also promoted due to Ge implantation, yielding the high quality absorber layer. Consequently, the efficiency of CZTSSe solar cells increases from 9.15% to 11.48%, largely attributed to the 41 mV V oc increment.

In this work, a novel rGO/S-GO laminated membrane was prepared by a pressure-assembly stacked method, followed with a thermal deoxygenation process. The neighboring interlayer spacing ( d ) between the composite layers are tunable due to the incorporation of S-GO. The nano-filtration performances of the rGO/S-GO laminated membranes were evaluated at a low-pressure condition. Molecule dynamics (MD) simulation was used to further investigate the size distribution of spacing between GO, rGO and S-GO sheets. The results of filtration experiments indicated that the obtained rGO/S-GO membrane showed a satisfied rejection performance for the removal of dyes and salts with a pressure of two bar. The rejection rates of MB, CR, RB and MO were 99.5%, 99.9%, 97.3% and 98.6%, while the rejection rates of Na 2 SO 4 , MgSO 4 , MgCl 2 and NaCl were 86.3%, 40.9%, 35.7% and 60.5%, respectively. Compared to the pristine rGO membrane, the water permeation of rGO/S-GO laminated membrane was significantly improved from ∼0.98 to ∼3.78 L/(m 2 ·h·bar) due to the enlarged ‘gateway’ for transport of water molecules. The results of classical MD simulation showed that the neighboring layer spacing of rGO, GO and S-GO was ∼8.4, ∼10.2, and ∼14.3 Å, respectively. Their neighboring layer spacing was dependent on the chemical functional groups on the edges of GO sheets. It was further confirmed that the introduction of chemical groups on the GO caused the expansion of the interlayer ‘gap’ between neighboring sheets, which was responsible for the enhanced permeability. These findings would contribute to the development of GO-based nanofiltration membranes with high permeability and understanding the transport mechanism of water molecule.
