Graphical Cathode for magnesium-ion batteries : An electrochemically desodiated phase NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C has been developed as a high-voltage cathode material (ca. 2.5 V vs. Mg 2+ /Mg) for rechargeable magnesium batteries, offering good cycle performance. The electrochemical reaction involves an intercalation mechanism and shows good reversibility. The lack of suitable high-voltage cathode materials has hindered the development of rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs). Here, mesoporous Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C (NVP/C) spheres have been synthesized through a facile spray-drying–annealing method, and their electrochemically desodiated phase NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C (ED-NVP/C) has been investigated as an intercalation host for Mg 2+ ions. The obtained ED-NVP/C exhibits an average discharge voltage of around 2.5 V (vs. Mg 2+ /Mg), higher than those of most previously reported cathode materials. In addition, it can deliver an initial discharge capacity of 88.8 mA h g −1 at 20 mA g −1 , with good cycling stability. Ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results demonstrate that the electrochemical reaction is based on an intercalation mechanism and shows good reversibility. Galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) data have revealed that the intercalation process involves a two-phase transition. The reported ED-NVP/C cathode material with high working voltage offers promising potential for application in RMBs.

Over the past few years, electrocatalysis for the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline solutions has undergone tremendous advances, and non-precious metal catalysts are of prime interest. In this study, we present a highly promising CoO@Co/N-C (where N-C represents a N-doped carbon material) catalyst, achieving an onset potential of 0.99 V (versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) and a limiting current density of 7.07 mA·cm −2 (at 0.3 V versus RHE) at a rotation rate of 2,500 rpm in an O 2 -saturated 0.1 M KOH solution, comparable to a commercial Pt/C catalyst. The H 2 -O 2 alkaline fuel cell test of CoO@Co/N-C as the cathode reveals a maximum power density of 237 mW·cm −2 . Detailed investigation clarifies that a synergistic effect, induced by C-N, Co-N-C, and CoO/Co moieties, is responsible for the bulk of the gain in catalytic activity.

Magnetic heterogeneous catalyst (Na 2 SiO 3 @Fe 3 O 4 /C) was prepared for the production of biodiesel from oils with high acid value (AV) under ultrasonic (US) irradiation and magnetic stirring (MS). With the catalyst and assisted by US, soybean biodiesel yield reached >90% in only 20 min (or at 318 K) and 97.9% under the optimal conditions. It was easily magnetically separated for 5 cycles with 94.9% recovery rate and biodiesel yield >80% with both US and MS. The catalyst transesterified Jatropha oil with biodiesel yields of 94.7%, 93.2% and 83.5% at AV of 1.3, 4.8 and 7.3 (mg KOH/g) with US, and was cycled 5 times with yield >70% at AV of 4.8 assisted by US and MS. High biodiesel yield (90.7%) was still achieved from high AV oil (4.8) at low US energy density (0.1 W/mL) and MS. The catalyst combined with US and MS can find practical application for direct production of biodiesel from oils with high AV.

The high-temperature oxidation behavior of various boron addition SiBCN monoliths has been explored. Boron addition promotes the formation of new B x C phase and growth of SiC gains. At the initial stage of oxidation, surface B x C and BN(C) are prior to SiC generating B 2 O 3 . As time progresses, SiC oxidizes to SiO 2 further reacted with B 2 O 3 forming stable SiO 2 -B 2 O 3 binary melt or borosilicate. Boron-enhanced SiC oxidation occurs immediately with the rapid consumption of BN(C), B x C and loss of B 2 O 3 from borosilicate decomposition, thereby promoting oxidation rate. Substantial SiC and BN(C) in amorphous SiO 2 for transition layer is the main structure feature.

Hydrogen evolution by electrocatalysis is an attractive method of supplying clean energy. However, it is challenging to find cheap and efficient alternatives to rare and expensive platinum based catalysts. Pt provides the best hydrogen evolution performance, because it optimally balances the free energies of adsorption and desorption. Appropriate control of these quantities is essential for producing an efficient electrocatalyst. We demonstrate, based on first principles calculations, a stepwise designed Rh-Au-Si ternary catalyst, in which adsorption (the Volmer reaction) and desorption (the Heyrovsky reaction) take place on Rh and Si surfaces, respectively. The intermediate Au surface plays a vital role by promoting hydrogen diffusion from the Rh to the Si surface. Theoretical predictions have been explored extensively and verified by experimental observations. The optimized catalyst (Rh-Au-SiNW-2) has a composition of 2.2:28.5:69.3 (Rh:Au:Si mass ratio) and exhibits a Tafel slope of 24.0 mV·dec –1 . Its electrocatalytic activity surpasses that of a commercial 40 wt.% Pt/C catalyst at overpotentials above 0.19 V by exhibiting a current density of greater than 108 mA·cm –2 . At 0.3 V overpotential, the turnover frequency of Rh-Au-SiNW-2 is 10.8 times greater than that of 40 wt.% Pt/C. These properties may open new directions in the stepwise design of highly efficient catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Porous Na3V2(PO4)3@C nanocomposites enwrapped in a 3D graphene network were prepared using a simple freeze-drying-assisted thermal treatment method. The carbon layer and 3D graphene network provide not only a 3D conductive network but also a double restriction on the aggregation of Na3V2(PO4)3 particles that have a high crystallinity under high temperature treatment. Due to the high electrochemical activity of the highly crystalline Na3V2(PO4)3 nanoparticles and 3D conductive network, the novel NVP@C/G material displays a superior rate capability (76 mA h g−1 at 60C) and ultra-long cyclability (82% capacity retention for 1500 cycles at 40C) when used in sodium-ion batteries.

Spinel oxides are recognized as promising Fenton-like catalysts for the degradation of antibiotics. However, the catalytic performance is restrained by the poor electron transfer rate (ETR). Herein, hollow NiCo 2 O 4 @C nanocages are rationally designed and prepared to accelerate ETR in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for tetracycline (TC) degradation. Enhanced ETR of the NiCo 2 O 4 @C/PMS system is due to three aspects: (1) The hollow nanocage facilitates the diffusion and adsorption of TC, improving the ion transfer at a macroscopic level; (2) Electron reconfiguration in octahedral sites of NiCo 2 O 4 increases the ratio of Co 2+ , resulting in highly efficient PMS activation; (3) In-situ generated carbon acts as “electron shuttles”, improving the electrical conductivity of catalysts at a microscopic level. As a result, the NiCo 2 O 4 @C demonstrates rapid ETR, leading to a high-efficiency activation of PMS. The NiCo 2 O 4 @C/PMS system exhibits exceptional TC degradation efficiency and reusability. Non-radical pathway, including 1 O 2 and direct electron transfer, dominates the system. This work offers a feasible strategy for enhancing electron transfer in the Fenton-like system.

To enhance the phosphate removal performance, a porous material (La MOF-20 %-C) was prepared by selectively removing the thermally unstable NH 2 -BDC ligand from a lanthanum dual organic ligand MOF through pyrolysis. This innovative approach equips La-MOF-20 %-C with dual functionalities: high phosphate adsorption capacity and robust antibacterial effects. The adsorbent showcased a remarkable phosphate adsorption capacity of 97.24 mg P/g and reached equilibrium within 90 min. The material exhibits good anti-interference capability, and the presence of multiple coexisting ions does not affect its adsorption performance. Additionally, it can be used over a wide pH range (3.0–8.0) and has good reusability. Mechanistic studies indicated that electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange were the primary mechanisms for phosphate adsorption. Moreover, La MOF-20 %-C effectively inhibited the metabolic activities of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus through phosphorus starvation and electrostatic attraction, demonstrating significant antibacterial properties. Importantly, the fabrication of this material into a filter membrane enabled the successful treatment of 16.8 L of actual wastewater, achieving an overall phosphate removal rate of over 85 %, and effectively removing total bacteria. These findings highlight La MOF-20 %-C as a highly promising material with dual functionality for phosphate removal and bacterial inhibition.

Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) with long-range atomic-scale ordering are an emerging class of efficient and stable electrocatalytic alloy materials. Compared with disordered alloys, IMCs show a better electronic structure and higher mixing enthalpy. Herein, the ordered Ru 4 Fe intermetallic compounds with a diameter of 15 nm on porous carbon (Ru 4 Fe IMCs/C) are synthesized by a sol–gel and annealing steps, the interaction of Ru 4d and Fe 3d orbitals produces an anisotropic electron distribution, which facilitates the adsorption of water molecules and accelerates their dissociation, which exhibit excellent hydrogen evolution at all pH values. At the current density of 10 mA cm −2 , the overpotentials of Ru 4 Fe IMCs/C are 29, 24, and 36 mV in acidic, neutral, and alkaline media for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), respectively, superior to that of Pt/C catalysts with a mass loading of 20%. Mechanistic studies suggest that the adsorption Gibbs free energy of *H (ΔG *H ) on Ru 4 Fe IMCs/C is closer to 0 eV compared to Ru NPs/C, which facilitates the HER process.

Adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and selectivity have long been the pursuit of researchers in the field of adsorptive desulfurization. In this study, a novel single-atom adsorbent comprised of iron (Fe) integrated into C, O co-doped hexagonal boron nitride (Fe-BNCO) has been successfully synthesized. This unique material demonstrates outstanding adsorption capabilities, boasting an adsorption capacity of 49.7 mg S/g and excellent selectivity for adsorptive desulfurization. Notably, this adsorption capacity is 48.6 % higher than that of pure BNCO. The incorporation of the Fe element into boron nitride materials induces a reduction in crystallinity and an increase in specific surface area, resulting in a higher number of available adsorption sites. Combining experimental analysis with theoretical calculations, we propose that the exceptional adsorption performance of Fe-BNCO can be attributed to the formation of S-Fe coordination interaction, while maintaining the existing π-π interactions. This study advances our understanding of adsorbents with high adsorption capacity and selectivity, providing valuable insights for the field of adsorptive desulfurization.

High-density HfB 2 -SiC ceramics were prepared by reactive melt infiltration (RMI) at a relatively low temperature (1500°C). The ceramics had the open porosity of 0.5 % and the uniform distribution of constituent phases. The long-term oxidation behavior of HfB 2 -SiC ceramics in air was investigated at 1650°C. After oxidation for 100 h, the weight gain rates of ceramics varied within the range of 1.30–2.26 %. The oxidation products included SiO 2 , HfO 2 , and HfSiO 4 phases, among which the HfSiO 4 compound possessed the higher stability resulting from the reaction between the HfO 2 and SiO 2 phases. The samples all exhibited the typical feature of layered scale structure after HfB 2 -SiC oxidation, which was composed of the outermost SiO 2 glass layer with the uneven thickness, followed by a relatively porous oxide layer containing white HfO 2 and slight HfSiO 4 , below it was the unoxidized HfB 2 -SiC. The presence of this multiphase glass layer endowed the samples with excellent oxidation resistance.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have attracted increasing attention due to their biotoxicity and persistence. Herein, rapid degradation of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209) was achieved on bromine vacancies enriched BiOBr (BOB-V Br ) nanosheets, with a degradation rate for BDE209 under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm) exceeding 95 % within 6 min. The initial two minutes serve as an induction period, during which the Br vacancies were in-situ introduced into the BiOBr (BOB) nanosheets. By precisely controlling the duration of photoinduction, varying concentrations of Br vacancies were successfully generated on the surface of the BOB nanosheets. Consequently, an enhanced degradation rate of BDE209 was observed in direct correlation with the increased concentration of Br vacancies. BOB-V Br showed a remarkable selectivity of 74 % for meta- product (BDE207). This selectivity towards BDE207 surpasses that of other anionic vacancies, as oxygen, sulfur, and iodine vacancies. The in-situ generated Br vacancies help to accommodate the Br atom of BDE209 in atomic size and electronic structure, thus facilitating the activation of the C-Br bond and achieving rapid BDE209 debromination. This work provides a new insight for the treatment of organic halogenated pollutants by photocatalysts with homologous halogen vacancies.
