Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have gained more and more interest for grid-level energy storage applications compared with current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this paper, well-uniform and dispersed spindle-shaped NiCo 2 O 4 particles were synthesized by solvothermal method, and then graphene-encapsulated NiCo 2 O 4 (NiCo 2 O 4 @G) was formed core-shell nanostructures , which greatly enhanced the electronic and ionic (electro-active) conduction and also effectively buffering to accommodate the strain. Benefit from its structure feature, the prepared NiCo 2 O 4 @G core-shell nanostructures composite shows good cycling with a capacity of up to ∼400 mAh g −1 (100 mA g −1 ) in 100 cycles for NIBs anode. The facile synthesis process and excellent SIBs behaviors in this paper are expected to be extended in developing other anode materials in battery system.

Nanoscaled SnO 2 with different morphologies has been synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process at 180 °C using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) or tetrapropyl ammonium bromide (TPAB) as surfactant . All the prepared SnO 2 are of a tetragonal crystal structure. Nanocubes, nanorods , nanosheets , nanobelts and nanoparticles were prepared when changing the type and dosage of organic surfactants. It is shown that anionic surfactant (SDS) and cationic surfactant (CTAB or TPAB) at their suitable addition amounts can largely influence the morphologies of SnO 2 nanocrystals . The effect is significantly dependent on the solvent types: water or ethanol. The non-ionic surfactant (PVP) can also change the morphologies like SDS but the impacts are less obvious. The effect of surfactants on the shape and size of SnO 2 nanoparticles was discussed in detail. The particle growth mechanism is described based on the electrostatic interactions and Van der Waals’ forces.

A poor electrical conductivity and short cycle life limits the wide application of transition metal oxides in energy storage applications. In this study, yolk-shell structured CuCo 2 S 4 was grown on NiO nanosheets (NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 ) via a hydrothermal method and vulcanization , which combined the synergistic interactions between Ni, Co, and Cu. The effect of varying the amount of the vulcanizing agent (thiourea) on the electrochemical performance of NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 was also investigated. Moreover, the amount of thiourea not only tuned the morphology of the composite, but significantly influenced its electrochemical performance. When the Cu 2+ : Co 2+ : thiourea molar ratio in the precursor solution was 1:2:6, the obtained NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 exhibited the best electrochemical performance of the various systems examined, with a specific capacitance of 1658 F g −1 being achieved at 1 A g −1 . Density functional theory calculations further confirmed the excellent synergistic effect between NiO and CuCo 2 S 4 . In addition, the asymmetric supercapacitor composed of a NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 positive electrode reached an ultrahigh energy density of 73 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 802 W kg −1 , as well as excellent cycling stability (i.e., 91% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles). These results suggest that NiO@CuCo 2 S 4 is a promising candidate for use in energy storage applications.

Transition trimetallic sulfide NiCoMn–S attracts great attention due to its high specific capacity for hybrid supercapacitors , as well as Ti 3 C 2 is considered essentially as a potential new electrode material with iconic two-dimensional layered structure and excellent conductivity. Herein, NiCoMn–S nanoparticles are composited with two-dimensional layered Ti 3 C 2 via simple one-step hydrothermal method , which is first applied as positive electrode in hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs). A large number of NiCoMn–S nanoparticles distribute on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 and even insert into the Ti 3 C 2 layers, providing abundant electrochemical active sites for redox reaction and enhancing the mechanical stability for composites. Moreover, the NiCoMn–S/Ti 3 C 2 composites show lower charge-transfer resistance than pure NiCoMn–S, illustrating that the two-dimensional layered structure of Ti 3 C 2 improve the conductivity and supply additional electronic channels for ion transportation. The NiCoMn–S/Ti 3 C 2 -3.4% delivers a specific capacity of 347.1 C g −1 at a specific density of 1 A g −1 , which is 28% higher than that of pure NiCoMn–S (270.2 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 ). Finally, a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) is assembled by using NiCoMn–S/Ti 3 C 2 -3.4% as positive electrode and RGO as negative electrode, realizing a specific capacity of 164.3 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 and high specific energy of 16.2 Wh kg −1 at a specific power of 15 kW kg −1 .

Aromatic nitro compounds are the main components of explosives. They are not only explosive and dangerous but also have high toxicity and high stability in the human body, soil, and water resources, destroying the ecological environment. Herein, a simple hydrothermal method is used to successfully prepare layered MIL-100 (Fe). A series of aromatic nitro compounds including p-nitrophenol (PNP), nitrobenzene (NB), dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (2,4,6-TNP) were degraded by the photo-Fenton method. The MIL-100 (Fe) photo-Fenton agent can almost completely degrade PNP within 2 min. Similarly, it has a good degradation effect on other pollutants. Finally, the mechanism of the photo-Fenton reaction was discussed by product analysis and free radical capture experiments after the photochemical reaction. This study demonstrates the potential application value of MIL-100 (Fe) as a photo-Fenton reagent to degrade nitroaromatic explosives.

ZnO:Yb3+,Tm3+,Ga3+ up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with sizes of between 20 and 65 nm are synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The size of the nanocrystals is affected by different Ga3+ concentrations. The variation in size has influence on the particles' visible blue and red up-conversion (UC) emission. In this paper, X-ray powder diffraction results show different amounts of gallium substituting for Zn in the ZnO lattice. When the concentration of Ga3+ is 3 mol%, the resulting UCNPs exhibit strong UC emission, longer fluorescence lifetime and narrower band gap. Due to their adjustable size and UC fluorescence properties, ZnO:Yb3+,Tm3+,Ga3+ nanocrystals have broad prospects for future applications in the biomedical field.

In this study, visible-light-active iron tungstosilicate (FeSiW) was fabricated via solvothermal method . Fe 3+ was applied as counter ion to precipitate with silicotungstic acid (H 4 SiW 12 O 40 ) in methanol solution. It can be observed from FT-IR spectra that the Keggin structure of SiW 12 O 40 4− was well maintained in FeSiW. Besides, the effect of different initial molar ratios of Fe 3+ to H 4 SiW 12 O 40 was investigated (from 4:1 to 4:4). By photoelectrochemical characterizations, such as photocurrent response and Mott-Schottky (M-S) plots, easiest generation of electron-hole pairs and lowest charge transfer resistance can be observed on FeSiW with initial molar ratio of 4:3. Moreover, FeSiW with 4:3 ratio also displayed highest activity for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), despite of the largest band gap (ca. 2.71 eV). The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the optimized FeSiW were estimated to be +0.03 V and 2.74 V vs NHE, respectively, which were thermodynamically feasible for Cr(VI) reduction and H 2 O oxidation . Even under acidic condition (pH 3), the optimized photocatalyst displayed good stability in cyclic runs. Therefore, the present study opens a new way for heterogeneous polyoxometalates as efficient photocatalyst for environmental application.

The emerging market of high-power lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) highlights the importance of developing high-voltage cathodes. Lithium nickel phosphate (LiNiPO 4 ) with the highest theoretical discharge potential (∼5.1V) has attracted increasing attention due to its stable olivine structure. In this study, ultrathin carbon layer-coated LiNiPO 4 was synthesized using oleylamine-assisted solvothermal method under different solvothermal times, and the effect of solvothermal time (1h–18h) on LiNiPO 4 samples is fully investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that high-purity LiNiPO 4 materials can be prepared after calcination of the solvothermal product under N 2 , but adding part of H 2 to the calcination atmosphere will lead to the generation of impurities in the target product. As the solvothermal time increases, the product will agglomerate and grow, the particle size will increase, and the morphology will change from nanoparticle to rodlike structure. After the high-temperature calcination step, the oleylamine is completely carbonized, and a conductive carbon layer is successfully coated on the LiNiPO 4 with the thickness of 2 nm. As the solvothermal time increases, the graphitization degree of oleylamine increases after carbonization. The existence of the carbon layer and the increase in the degree of graphitization are beneficial to improving the electrical conductivity and Li-ion diffusion rate of LiNiPO 4 . The initial discharge capacity of LNP@C-12h product prepared with 12 h solvothermal time is 35 mA h g −1 at 0.1 C. Rietveld analysis shows that the anti-site defect concentration of the LNP@C material is 1.07 %, and the proportion increases to 2.83 % after several cycles. This work provides a positive contribution to the synthesis and modification of high-voltage LiNiPO 4 materials and explains the electrochemical performance degradation of LiNiPO 4 from the perspective of increasing the concentration of anti-site defects.

Nanosized titanium compounds are particularly effective in catalyzing hydrogen cycling by NaAlH 4 . Titanium hydride (TiH 2 ), as a catalyst, is highly interesting since it contributes hydrogen in addition to active Ti. However, it has been challenging to fabricate nanosized TiH 2 due to the strong affinity of Ti with oxygen. Herein, TiH 2 nanoflakes with a lateral size of ~10 nm and thickness of ~1 nm are successfully synthesized through a novel facile one-pot solvothermal process. In an anhydrous THF solution, LiH reacts with TiCl 4 rapidly at 100 °C forming TiH 2 and LiCl. The newly formed TiH 2 nucleates and grows epitaxially on the graphene surface due to the well-matched lattice parameters, giving rise to the formation of TiH 2 nanoflakes. Both theoretical calculations and experiments reveal the generation of Cl· radicals and unsaturated C C bonds when TiCl 4 reacts with THF, which promotes the formation of TiH 2 . The nanoflake-like TiH 2 on graphene enables an outstanding hydrogen storage performance of NaAlH 4 , i.e., full dehydrogenation at 80 °C and hydrogenation at 30 °C and under 100 bar H 2 , with a practical hydrogen capacity of 4.9 wt%, which has been never reported before.

Ceramic one-dimensional particles are fascinating nanomaterials for sustainable future industries. Nanorods of γ-Al 2 O 3 with single crystallinity and 10 nm diameter regime were newly developed through solvothermal procedure between AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O, NaOH, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate at 200 °C for 24 h. Controlling the pH values, reaction time, temperature, and effect of surfactant during the solvothermal reaction was studied to control the morphology and structure of nanorods. The solvothermal procedure for preparing γ-AlOOH nanorods followed lamellar growth, assembly, and ripening routes. The γ-AlOOH nanorods were converted to γ-Al 2 O 3 through calcination reaction at 500 °C for 3 h. The produced γ-Al 2 O 3 nanorods were 10 nm average width, 100–200 nm average length, and exposed with [101] orientation and a linear structure. FTIR, HRTEM , FESEM, XRD , and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy methods were used for characterizing the prepared nanomaterials . New features and applied fields are predictable for the designed γ-AlOOH and γ-Al 2 O 3 nanorods.

Two energetic salts of cyclo-N 5 − , O-methylisoure pentazolate ( 1 ) and guanidinoacetic acid pentazolate ( 2 ), were synthesized by metathesis reaction. All the energetic cyclo-N 5 − salts were characterized by single-crystal XRD, IR spectroscopy, 1 H and 13 C multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis (DSC) and elemental analysis. They exhibit good thermal stability with decomposition temperatures of more than 100 °C and they are in excellent agreement with those reported non-metallic salts. Salt 1 also exhibits strong π-π interactions. The standard enthalpies of formation and detonation performances of these salts were calculated using Gaussian 09 and EXPLO5 v6.01 programs. The detonation velocities of compound 1 and 2 are both about 7400 m s −1 and these two salts exhibit low mechanical sensitivity (IS>23 J, FS>220 N). Therefore, in this work, the synthesis of the new pentazolate salts enriches the cyclo-pentazolate salts system, which is conducive to the exploration of more heat-resistant and higher detonation velocities pentazolate salts.

A ternary phase diagram of the system of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([ Bmim ]BF4), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and water using ocular estimate and turbidity method was drawn based on experimental data at 298.2 K. We got a narrow aqueous two-phase region near the side of water-ionic liquid (IL). A series of samples with different compositions around the phase diagram were chosen. The enthalpy change of these systems after injecting triply distilled water into these samples has been studied by using isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC). It is found that with increasing the water content there are weak endothermic and exothermic processes appearing, separately, which matches perfectly with the location of the formation and disappearance of the aqueous two-phase in the ternary phase diagram. This suggests the ITC is a feasible and effective method for the thermodynamic study of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) and was first reported. The experimental results show that the formation of the ATPS is endothermic (Δ H > 0), but the process of disappearing is exothermic (Δ H < 0). Due to the formation of aqueous two-phase is a thermodynamic spontaneous process under the isothermal constant pressure, we can judge that the formation of this ATPS is an entropy driven course and the vanishing is a synergy driven process by entropy and enthalpy.
