A feasible and green sol-gel method is proposed to fabricate well-distributed nano-particulate Fe-Ni2P incorporated in N, P-codoped porous carbon nanosheets (Fe-Ni2P@N,P-CNSs) using biomass agarose as a carbon source, and ethylenediamine tetra (methylenephosphonic acid) (EDTMPA) as both the N and P source. The doped Fe in Ni2P is essential for a substantial increase in intrinsic catalytic activity, while the combined N,P-containing porous carbon matrix with a better degree of graphitization endows the prepared Fe-Ni2P@N,P-CNSs catalyst with a high specific surface area and improved electrical conductivity. Benefiting from the specific chemical composition and designed active site structure, the as-synthesized Fe-Ni2P@N,P-CNSs manifests a satisfying catalytic performance toward both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline solution, with low overpotential, small Tafel slope and long-term durability, relative to the counterparts (Fe-free Ni12P5/Ni2P2O7@N,P-CNSs and CNSs) with single components and even comparable to Pt/C and RuO2 catalysts. The present work broadens the exploration of efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts using earth abundant biomass as carbon sources based on non-noble metals for low cost renewable energy conversion/storage.

Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection is emerging as a green and environmental method to protect metals against corrosion. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) shows great application potential in this area because of its high efficiency, high stability and low cost. However, the pristine g-C 3 N 4 shows amphoteric properties, resulting in its failure in providing photoelectrochemical cathodic protection for the coupled metal in NaCl solution. In this work, a K&I co-doping technique was performed to modulate the band structure of g-C 3 N 4 , and an n-type g-C 3 N 4 (n-C 3 N 4 ) was obtained. The changes in the molecular structure were studied by SEM, HRTEM , XRD , EDS, XPS and FT-IR technologies. The n-type semiconductor characteristics were verified by the photoinduced i-V curves, SKP potential distributions and pH drift techniques. The n-C 3 N 4 can generate positive photocurrent in the whole investigated potential range, making it able to provide photoelectrochemical cathodic protection for the coupled 316L stainless steel in NaCl solution. This work is very helpful for promoting the application of g-C 3 N 4 in the fields of the photoelectric conversion and the photoelectrochemical cathodic protection.

The ionic hybrid P,N-ligands of 1 and 2 have been synthesized as one type of unconventional tertiary phosphines with the advantages of both the π-accepting ligands and the hemilabile ligands. The corresponding ionic Rh(I)-complexes of 1A and 2A proved to be more efficient catalysts for hydroformylation of 1-octene over isomerization than the traditional Rh I (acac)(CO)(PPh 3 ), due to the π-backdonation interaction in Rh → P linkage and the hemilabile ligation of N,P-coordinating sites to Rh-center. The in situ high-pressure FT-IR analysis indicated that: (1) the formation and lifetime of the active Rh H species (2047 cm −1 ) derived from 1A are facilitated by the presence of ligand 1 ; (2) the formation of the active Rh H species is depressed without the aid of the P,N-hemilabile ligation; and (3) the active Rh H species derived from Rh I (acac)(CO)(PPh 3 ) is unstable and susceptible to the formation of the inactive carbonyl-bridged Rh-dimer.

Presently, the low ionic conductivity of Na super ionic conductor (NASICON) electrolytes is one of the main obstacles to the development of solid-state sodium batteries . Most researchers focus on the modified NASICON by doping with foreign elements and have not paid much attention to the effect of the composition changing by adjusting the ratio of elements in Na 1+x Zr 2 Si x P 3-x O 12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 3) on the ionic conductivity . In order to clarify the relationship between the ionic conductivity and the structure/composition of Na 1+x Zr 2 Si x P 3-x O 12 , the ionic conductivity dependence on the Si/P ratio is systematically investigated in this study. The obtained results demonstrate that the ionic conductivity variation of NASICON is close to an order of magnitude i.e. the ionic conductivity of Na 1+x Zr 2 Si x P 3-x O 12 is much more sensitive to the Si/P ratio in the structure. This means that it is crucial to control the composition during the preparation process to obtain the electrolyte with high ionic conductivity. The strong composition-dependent property of Na 1+x Zr 2 Si x P 3-x O 12 can be attributed to the change of current carrier concentration, crystal structure, and sintering property resulting from the Si/P ratio. The results are insightful for further understanding the conducting characteristics of Na 1+x Zr 2 Si x P 3-x O 12 material and its derivatives.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted widespread attention because of the economic benefit of low-cost and abundance of sodium resources. Iron-based electrodes (sulfide, selenide and phosphide) that operate through conversion mechanism have shown huge potential for excellent sodium-ion storage. However, the problems related with serious volume expansion and lack of general synthesis methods of iron-based materials shorten the cycle life and hindered their application in SIBs. Herein, a general synthetic strategy of electrospinning process was developed to achieve the yolk-shelled Fe x Q y @C (Q = S, Se and P) film for binder-free anode of high-performance SIBs. Such method has more precursor materials to choose from and is highly scalable. More importantly, the designed electrodes have a unique yolk-shell structure and a three-dimensional conductive network. When applied as a binder-free anode of SIBs, all three samples exhibit outstanding sodium storage performance (FeS 2 @C-40: remaining 280 mAh g −1 after 400 cycles at 1 A g −1 , Fe 7 Se 8 @C-40: remaining 186.5 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 and FeP 4 @C-40: remaining 205 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 ). Therefore, the scalability and universality of this general synthetic strategy can open up a new direction for the exploration of high-energy density and flexible electrode materials.

The typical core-shell Pt@ZnO, 1 mol% Ga doped Pt@ZnO and 2 mol% Ga doped Pt@ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized and utilized in acetone and NO 2 sensing. Among those nanoparticles, 1 mol% Ga doped Pt@ZnO based sensor presents excellent acetone sensitive and interesting reversible switching from P- to N-type NO 2 sensing. The response of the 1 mol% Ga doped Pt@ZnO based sensor to 50 ppm acetone is as high as 296, and the detecting concentration limit to acetone and NO 2 is as low as 10 ppb and 20 ppb. The analogical binary p-n transition phase diagram was established to understand the NO 2 -sensing reversible switching as a function of operating temperature (T) and NO 2 gas concentration (C). The role of Ga doping in enhancing the sensing property and the mechanism of NO 2 p–n sensing transition is elaborated. In conclusion, the doping of Ga into core-shell Pt@ZnO was proved to be a feasible method for fabricating acetone and NO 2 sensor, with high sensitivity and selectivity.

Stibnite (Sb2S3) is a promising material in photoelectronic and energy devices, but it frequently exhibits sheaf-like and hierarchical-like structures that consist of secondary nanorods (NRs) or nanowires (NWs) because of its spatial fractal splitting growth habit. Foreign ions or seeds enable the alteration of the growth dynamics and the consequent shape engineering of nanocrystals. We here report that the introduction of trace amounts of isovalent Bi3+ ions (typically 1–2 atom% Bi/Sb) is efficient to synthesize highly disperse, uniform Sb2S3 NRs with reduced diameters and lengths. Two temperature-dependent growth mechanisms stemming from the presence of Bi ions, the full splitting growth at high temperature and the seeded growth at low temperature, are proposed to demonstrate the formation of separated, thinner NRs. Meanwhile, the surfactant removal and the coupling with p-type CuSCN are simultaneously performed on these Sb2S3 NRs, and the resultant CuSCN/Sb2S3 composite, which contains a large amount of point-to-surface contact p–n heterojunctions with a suitable band alignment, holds promise in self-powered UV-visible photodetectors via the photovoltaic effect.

Biomass-derived approaches have been accepted as a practical way for the design of transitional metal phosphides confined by carbon matrix (TMPs@C) as energy storage materials. Herein, we successfully synthesize P/N-co-doped carbon nanosheets encapsulating Cu3P nanoparticles (Cu3P@P/N-C) by a feasible aqueous reaction followed by a phosphorization procedure using sodium alginate as the biomass carbon source. Cu-alginate hydrogel balls can be squeezed into two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets through a freeze–drying process. Then, Cu3P@P/N-C was obtained after the phosphorization procedure. This rationally designed structure not only improved the kinetics of ion/electron transportation but also buffered the volume expansion of Cu3P nanoparticles during the continuous charge and discharge processes. In addition, the 2D P/N co-doped carbon nanosheets can also serve as a conductive matrix, which can enhance the electronic conductivity of the whole electrode as well as provide rapid channels for electron/ion diffusion. Thus, when applied as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, it exhibited remarkable cycling stability and rate performance. Prominently, Cu3P@P/N-C demonstrated an outstanding reversible capacity of 209.3 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 1,000 cycles. Besides, it still maintained a superior specific capacity of 118.2 mAh g−1 after 2,000 cycles, even at a high current density of 5 A g−1.

A series of bis-P,O-hybrid ligands ( L1–L4 ) were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures demonstrated that the ligand of L2 , 1,4-bis((2-(diphenylphosphaneyl)phenoxy)methyl)benzene, not only acted as a typical trans -positioned diphosphine as observed in the complexes Pd( L2 )(OAc) 2 and Pd( L2 )Cl 2 , but also potentially as a P,P,O-tripodal pincer. As a result, under mild conditions (80 °C, 0.5–3.0 MPa), L2 enabled Pd(OAc) 2 to exhibit remarkable performance in terms of high activity and excellent regioselectivity ( l / b > 97/3) in the alkoxycarbonylation of vinyl arenes with the isolated yields of 57–91 %.

Piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs), as a promising solution to harvest mechanical energy from ambient environment, have attracted much attention over the past decade. Here, the core–shell structured BaTiO3@Carbon (BT@C) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a simple surface-modifying method and then used to fabricate the efficient PENGs with poly[(vinylidene fluoride)-co-trifluoroethylene] (P(VDF-TrFE)). The carbon shell with the uniform thickness of 10–15 nm can increase the content of the polar β phase in P(VDF-TrFE) and significantly enhance the interfacial polarization between BT NPs and the polymer matrix during the poling process. Out of all compositions, the 15 wt % BT@C/P(VDF-TrFE) PENG exhibited the optimal piezoelectric performance with an output voltage of ∼17 V and a maximum power of 14.3 μW under bending–releasing mode. More importantly, the PENG can also efficiently harvest other types of mechanical energy from human activities and exhibits stable output after 1500 bending–releasing cycles. When the PENG was bent and beat by bicycle spokes, a peak voltage of 16 V was generated, which can light up 12 white LEDs directly and charge the commercial capacitors. Our research provides a new strategy to fabricate flexible and efficient PENGs from a nanoscale viewpoint; it can be hopefully applied in energy-harvesting systems and wearable electric sensors.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have shown low n-type Seebeck coefficients (−10 μV K−1), which are not good enough to prepare high performance low-cost MWCNT based mechanically flexible thermoelectric devices. Here, we present a double doping approach utilizing a small n-type doping molecule, 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole (N-DMBI), in addition to encapsulated metal (iron) nanoparticles for achieving a high n-type thermoelectric performance with MWCNTs. With double doping, we have shown high n-type Seebeck coefficients up to −56 μV K−1 along with a power factor up to 112 μW m−1 K−2 at room temperature, which, to the best of our knowledge, is at least an order of magnitude higher than the power factors of previously reported n-type MWCNT based organic materials. More importantly, the negative Seebeck coefficient was maintained even after 60 days' exposure to air. An outstanding output power of 1.9 W m−2 at a temperature difference of 60 K was generated with a flexible thermoelectric device made of only MWCNT mats. The new findings could lead to the development of robust and flexible thermoelectric devices made of only low-cost MWCNTs.

A novel flame retardant containing phosphorus and nitrogen elements, ammonium salt of N,N-dimethylene p-benzenesulfonic phosphonic acid (ADBSPA), was prepared by one-step continuous chemical method. The chemical structure of the ADBSPA was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and ADBSPA was processed onto cotton materials by immersion method. The flame retardancy of coated cotton materials was analyzed by limiting oxygen index (LOI) and Vertical burning test. The LOI value of cotton coated with 350 g/L ADBSPA increased from the original 18.2 ± 0.2% to 31.7 ± 0.2%, and the damaged length of this sample reduced to 6.6 ± 0.1 cm, which proved that ADBSPA enhanced the anti-burning ability of cotton materials. Cone calorimetry was used to evaluate the combustion behavior of cotton materials before and after coating. Compared with original sample, ADBSPA changed the combustion path of cotton materials, and the intuitive performance was that the ADBSPA-cotton-4 reserved 25.1 ± 0.5% of char residue at 250 s, and its peak heat release rate (PHRR) greatly reduced to 17 ± 1 kW/m 2 . The surface morphology of uncoated and coated cotton materials was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was observed that the coated sample still maintained a complete fiber skeleton after burning. In addition, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis confirmed that the coated cotton materials had good thermo-oxidative and thermal stability. All results pointed out that the phosphorus and nitrogen elements contained in ADBSPA as well as cotton cellulose constituted the three basic conditions of intumescent flame-retardant system. The polyphosphoric acid compounds formed by phosphorus element at high temperature promoted the dehydration of cotton fibers into char layer. The non-flammable gases produced by the nitrogen element in the combustion process covered the surface of fabrics, thereby playing the role of shielding heat and diluting combustible gases. Graphic abstract A novel phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardant was prepared by one-step continuous chemical method and applied to improve the thermal stability and anti-flammability of cotton materials.
