Designing hybrid composites electrodes with hierarchical nano-structural features and superb electrochemical performances sites is vital factor for engineering advanced supercapacitors . Herein, a novel nanocomposite from CoWO 4 nanodots anchored on olive derived activated carbon doped with N and S (OACNS) is successfully prepared via an in-situ hydrothermal process. The well dispersion of the CoWO 4 nanodots (pseudo-capacitor type) with ca. 7 nm in diameter on the OACNS nanosheets prevents their agglomerations to build hierarchical porous structure with high surface area (162.8 cm 2 ·g −1 ) and various pores sizes distribution. Noteworthy, through the synergistic effect , the composite shows superb capacitance value of 152 mAh·g −1 (0.5 A·g −1 ) and splendid life cycle of 93.5 % (via 12,000 cycles). Interestingly, an asymmetric CoWO 4 @OACNS//OACNS hybrid supercapacitor provides excellent specific energy (53.6 Wh·kg −1 ) at maximum specific power of 650 W·kg −1 . Such fascinating electrochemical performance indicates that the proposed CoWO 4 @OACNS hybrid composite can be exploited as cathode for next generation of energy storage devices.

As a promising anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), cobalt sulfide (CoS 2 ) has attracted extensive attention due to its high theoretical capacity, easy preparation, and superior electrochemical activity. However, its intrinsic low conductivity and large volume expansion result in poor cycling ability. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbon-coated CoS 2 nanoparticles (N–C@CoS 2 ) were prepared by a C 3 N 4 soft-template-assisted method. Carbon coating improves the conductivity and prevents the aggregation of CoS 2 nanoparticles. In addition, the C 3 N 4 template provides a porous graphene-like structure as a conductive framework, affording a fast and constant transport path for electrons and void space for buffering the volume change of CoS 2 nanoparticles. Benefitting from the superiorities, the Na-storage properties of the N–C@CoS 2 electrode are remarkably boosted. The advanced anode delivers a long-term capacity of 376.27 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 after 500 cycles. This method can also apply to preparing other metal sulfide materials for SIBs and provides the relevant experimental basis for the further development of energy storage materials.

The crucial step for splitting water is the oxygen evolution reaction . The key to promote this reaction lies in the catalyst. Molybdenum disulfide , as a two-dimensional material with molybdenum and sulfur atoms stacked, is especially suitable as a doping platform to develop high-performance OER catalysts. Fe/Co/Ni ternary transition metal combination has always been a highly active catalytic site for OER. Heteroelement of Fe/Co/Ni doping is expected to effectively modify the local electronic configuration of matrix materials and thus enhances their electrocatalytic OER capability. With this in mind, we report a simple in-situ hydrothermal doping of MoS x nanowires on iron‑nickel alloy foam with ternary transition metal of Fe/Co/Ni. This ternary transition metal of Fe/Co/Ni doped f self-supported electrode (denoted Fe/Co/Ni-MoS x /INF) displays outstanding OER performance in terms of small overpotentials of 214 and 263 mV at current densities of 10 and 100 mA/cm 2 , respectively, in alkaline solution. It was far better than the commercial Ir/C catalysts (253 and 434 mV@10 and 100 mA/cm 2 ). The Tafel slope is about 48.1 mV/dec. Moreover, Fe/Co/Ni-MoS x /INF also has an excellent catalytic stability without any obvious performance decay after 20 h operation. This work contributes to the investigation of high-efficiency OER catalysts based on transition metal-doped MoS x and offers a substitute for noble metal catalysts.

Treatments for malignant bone tumors are urgently needed to be developed due to the dilemma of precise resection of tumor tissue and subsequent bone defects. Although polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) has widely attracted attention in the orthopedic field, its bioinertness and poor osteogenic properties significantly restrict its applications in bone tumor treatment. To tackle the daunting issue, we use a hydrothermal technique to fabricate novel PEEK scaffolds modified with molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanosheets and hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles . Our dual-effect synergistic PEEK scaffolds exhibit perfect photothermal therapeutic (PTT) property dependent on molybdous ion (Mo 2+ ) concentration and laser power density, superior to conventional PEEK scaffolds. Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, the viability of MG63 osteosarcoma cells is significantly reduced by modified PEEK scaffolds, indicating a tumor-killing potential in vitro . Furthermore, the incorporation of HA nanoparticles on the surface of PEEK bolsters proliferation and adherence of MC3T3-E1 cells, boosting mineralization for further bone defect repair. The results of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis of 4-week treated rat femora demonstrate the preeminent photothermal and osteogenesis capacity of 3D-printed modified scaffolds in vivo . In conclusion, the dual-effect synergistic orthopedic implant with photothermal anticancer property and osteogenic induction activity strikes a balance between tumor treatment and bone development promotion, offering a promising future therapeutic option.

In this study, Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 nanosheets and flower-like MoS 2 were synthesized by hydrothermal method and compounded into p-n heterojunctions with 2 D– 2 D structure. The stable p-n heterojunctions exhibit excellent visible-light-driven catalytic activity through effective electron/hole (e - /h + ) separation, which generates a built-in electric field between the two components, accelerates the separation efficiency of photogenerated charges between the materials, and reduces the photogenerated electron-hole complexation efficiency. The methylene blue (MB) was degraded under simulated sunlight conditions, and the removal efficiency of MB at an initial concentration of 10 mg/L could reach 91.1% within 270 min. HRTEM and microstructural study revealed microscopic close interaction between the two phases, which can shorten the transport path of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and optical measurement studies show a significant improvement in visible light absorption and charge carrier separation due to the formation of heterojunctions. Free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) showed that the main active substances are·OH and·O 2 - , and photogenerated h + is also involved in the photocatalytic reaction process. The system also shows good degradation efficiency in different water matrices, five-cycle experiments, and good structural stability elucidate its potential application in degrading emerging pollutants for water purification.

Enzymes immobilized on the surface of the carriers are difficult to maintain their conformation and high activity due to the influence of the external harsh environments. A biomimetic core-shell [email protected] bioreactor was constructed by depositing polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of the recombinant Escherichia coli with CotA laccase gene, and releasing intracellular laccase into the PDA shell using ultrasound to break the cell wall of the bacteria. The bioreactor provided a nano-confined environment for the laccase and accelerated the mass and electron transfer in the volume-confined space, with a 2.77-fold increase in Km compared with the free laccase. Since there was no barrier of the cell wall, the crystal violet dye can enter the bioreactor to participate in the enzymatic reaction. As a result, [email protected] achieved excellent decolorization performance even without ABTS as an electron mediator. Moreover, the cytoplasmic solution retained in the PDA shell promoted the enzyme's tolerance to pH, temperature and harsh environments. In addition to PDA encapsulation, carbonyl and –NH 2 groups of PDA were bound covalently with –NH 2 and –COOH on the laccase in the [email protected] , resulting in an extremely high laccase loading of 817.59 mg/g. Also, the relative activity of the bioreactor maintained approximately 75% after 10 cycles of reuse. In addition, the protection of the PDA shell increased the resistance of laccase to UV irradiation. This work provides a novel method of laccase immobilization for application in wastewater treatment.

Semiconductors Ag 8 SnS 6 (ATS) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple one-pot method. Meanwhile, Se was added to the ATS process to form semiconductors Ag 8 SnS 6-x Se x (ATSSe) (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) nanoparticles. The prepared ATS nanoparticles were mainly triangle in shape with grain sizes ranging from 15 ∼ 60 nm, and ATSSe nanoparticles were formed after the addition of Se during the synthesis process. Phase transformation of the synthesized nanoparticles rhombohedral crystalline ATS to cubic ATSe was observed for Se substitution ratios x in the range of 0.2 ∼ 0.8. The band gap of ATSSe nanoparticles was in the range of 1.16 ∼ 0.85 eV. This finding suggests that Se substitution is an effective method to regulate the band gap and structure of ATS.

The bis(imino)pyridyl iron-based ethylene oligomerization catalysts have the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high activity and high selectivity to linear α -olefins. However, barriers, such as high polymer content in the product mixture and large methylaluminoxane (MAO) dosage, are still limitations for the development of these systems at the industrial scale. In this study, new cocatalysts are prepared by the reaction of alkylaluminums with urea and its derivatives, and successfully used to activate iron-based catalysts. It is found that the type and molar ratio of alkylaluminum and urea have significant influence on the performance of the cocatalysts. The activity of the preferred triisobutylaluminum/urea activated systems reaches more than 3.0 × 10 8 g (mol-Fe) −1 h −1 , and the polymer content can be controlled to be less than 2 wt.%. Notably, the catalytic system exhibits good high temperature stability, the activity can still reach 1.0 × 10 8 g (mol-Fe) −1 h −1 even at 120 °C. Further 1 H NMR studies show that alkylaluminum can react with the N H moieties of urea, forming complex alkylaluminum clusters, even aluminoxane-like structures. This study offers a promising family of cocatalysts, making it possible to simultaneously improve their performance and reduce their cost.

Zn 2+ and H 2 S are essential to maintain normal prostate function, and sometimes can evolve into weapons to attack and destroy prostate cancer (PCa) cells. Nevertheless, how to achieve the targeted and effective release of Zn 2+ and H 2 S, and reverse the concentration distribution within PCa tumor cells still highly challenging. Herein, combined with these pathological characteristics of prostate, we proposed a tumor microenvironment (TME) responsive Zn 2+ -interference and H 2 S-mediated gas synergistic therapy strategy based on a nanoplatform of tannic acid (TA) modified zinc sulfide nanoparticles ( [email protected] ) for the specific treatment of PCa. Once the constructed pH-responsive [email protected] internalized by cancer cells, it would instantaneously decomposed in acidic TME, and explosively release excess Zn 2+ and H 2 S exceeding the cell self-regulation threshold. Meanwhile, the in situ produced Zn 2+ and H 2 S synergistic enhancement of cell apoptosis, which is evidenced to increase levels of Bax and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, release of Cytochrome c in cancer cells, contributing to inhibit the growth of tumor. Moreover, the TA in cooperation with Zn 2+ specifically limits the migration and invasion of PCa cells. Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the Zn 2+ -interference in combination with H 2 S-mediated gas therapy achieves an excellent anti-tumor performance. Overall, this nanotheranostic synergistic therapy provides a promising direction for exploring new strategies for cancer treatment based on specific tumor pathological characteristics, and provides a new vision for promoting practical cancer therapy.

Ethanol (C2H5OH) is an economically ideal C2 product in electrochemical CO2 reduction. However, the CO2-to-C2H5OH conversion yield has been rather low and the underlying catalytic mechanism remains vague or unexplored in most cases. Herein, by decorating small Cu2S nanocrystals uniform ly on Cu nanosheets, three desirable features are integrated into the electrocatalyst, including a relatively high positive local charge on Cu (Cuδ+), abundant interfaces between Cuδ+ and zero-valence Cu0, and a non-flat, stepped catalyst surface, leading to the promoted affinity of *CO, decreased *COCO formation barrier, and thermodynamically preferred *CH2CHO-to-*CH3CHO conversion. As a result, a high partial current density of ∼20.7 mA cm–2 and a Faraday efficiency of 46% for C2H5OH are delivered at −1.2 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode in an H-cell containing a 0.1 M KHCO3 solution. This work proposes an efficient strategy for the high-yield CO2-to-C2H5OH conversion, emphasizing the promise for the industrial production of alcohol and related products from CO2.

The continuous preparation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/carbon fiber (CF) multiscale reinforcements was realized via one-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. In order to alleviate the damage of CF caused by catalyst etching at high temperature, catalytic promoter was adopted to improve the activity of the catalyst, thus reducing the CVD temperature. By adjusting the cobalt-based catalyst system, the effects of thiourea concentration on the morphology, microstructure and tensile strength of CNTs/CF samples were systematically investigated. It was found that the length and quantity of CNTs were added as the thiourea concentration increased, and the graphitization degree of the sample increased at first because of the well-grown CNTs, and then decreased due to the formation of amorphous carbon. Moreover, the tensile strength of CNTs/CF multiscale reinforcements was improved, which derived from the enhanced defect repair function of synthesized CNTs. Remarkably, CNTs/CF-0.02 exhibited a high single-filament tensile strength value (up to 4.51 GPa), which was about 6.6% higher than that of Desized cf Besides, the crystal structure and composition of reduced catalysts were analyzed, confirming the successful sulfur doping into cobalt particles. Therefore, the work offers a facile, economical, and efficient route for manufacturing CNTs/CF multi-scale reinforcements at comparatively low temperature.

Separation of palladium from high level liquid waste (HLLW) not only manages the dispose of HLLW, but could also aid in overcoming the shortage of palladium resources. Herein, three novel adsorbents, namely, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI)/XAD7HP, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT)/XAD7HP, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (MBO)/XAD7HP were prepared by vacuum impregnation method using Amberlite XAD7HP resin (XAD7HP) as the carrier for the selective separation of Pd(II) from simulated HLLW. SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) and PXRD (Powder X-ray diffraction) analysis showed that the ligands were successfully impregnated into the carrier. The saturated adsorption capacities of MBI/XAD7HP, MBT/XAD7HP, MBO/XAD7HP in 0.5 M HNO 3 were 126.2 mg Pd/g, 137.6 mg Pd/g, 98.4 mg Pd/g, respectively, and excellent adsorption and separation performance towards Pd(II) ( SF Pd/other metals > 500 and K d > 10 4 mL/g from 0.1 to 4 M HNO 3 ) were also achieved. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms for Pd(II) matched well with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model, indicating that the adsorption for Pd(II) by three adsorbents were monolayer chemical adsorption . The adsorption mechanism was analyzed by FT-IR, XPS combined with DFT calculation. The extremely high selectivity of three adsorbents towards Pd(II) among 15 metal ions is due to the soft N and S donor atoms at ligands which have good affinity for Pd(II) in HNO 3 solution. As MBT/XAD7HP exhibited the best adsorption and separation properties, it is supposed to have more application potential for the separation of Pd(II) from HLLW.
