Hydrogen production from water electrolysis offers a highly promising and sustainable route to solve the energy crisis. However, it is severely limited by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurring on the anode. Herein, employing carbon dots functionalized with benzene sulfonate groups (BS-CDs) as a distinctive inductor, a Co(OH)2catalyst featuring abundant defects was synthesized for an enhanced OER. The highly hydrophilic nature of BS-CDs exerts a significant interfacial induction effect on the growth dynamics of Co(OH)2, fostering the formation of elevated crystal defects and a substantial quantity of oxygen vacancies. The resulting BS-CDs/Co(OH)2catalyst requires an overpotential of only 340 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2in alkaline media, demonstrating markedly improved OER activity compared to pristine Co(OH)2and N-CDs/Co(OH)2induced by amine-modified CDs. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the catalyst is maintained, with a current retention rate of 92% observed following a 20 h stability assessment. This work provides a novel approach for developing cost-effective transition metal catalysts that exhibit exceptional catalytic efficiency and excellent stability for the OER.

Perovskite hydroxide CoSn(OH)6 nanoparticles were synthesized and used for the first time in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO. Under mild reaction conditions and using [Ru(bpy)3](PF6)2 as the photosensitizer, a high photocatalytic efficiency of 19.3 μmol for CO evolution with a high selectivity of 86.46% was obtained. The photocatalytic activity and CO selectivity were further improved by adding weak Brönsted acids, as proton sources, to the system.

Recovering cobalt from waste batteries is crucial for resource recycling and environmental protection. Here, MOF-OH, a Zr-based MOF, was synthesized and merged into a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) matrix to create MOF-OH-PAN nanofibers (NFs). These NFs showed a high cobalt ion adsorption capacity of 33.1 mg/g, retaining over 90% of the capacity after six cycles. The adsorption mechanism involves Co(II) surface diffusion followed by strong bonding with functional groups. This technology enables efficient cobalt recovery from waste batteries, supporting reuse and reducing resource depletion and environmental pollution. The study provides insights into waste battery resource management, highlighting environmental and economic benefits and contributing to green resource recovery and circular economy initiatives.

Two-dimensional material (2D material) MXene has great application potential in gas sensors because of its excellent controllable performance and vast specific surface area. In this study, we used a straightforward in-situ electrostatic self-assembly technique to create Fe(OH)3/Ti3C2Tx nanocomposites, which were then used to fabricate gas sensors for ammonia detection at room temperature (25 °C). Several characterization methods were performed aimed at determining the surface appearance and construction of the nanocomposites, and the sensing characteristics and mechanism were also systematically examined. The findings demonstrate the effective incorporation of amorphous Fe(OH)3 nanoparticles on the surface of Ti3C2Tx. Additionally the nanocomposites of Fe(OH)3/Ti3C2Tx have considerably higher specific surface area than pure Ti3C2Tx, hence offering more active NH3 adsorption sites. The response of the sensor to 100 ppm NH3 was 48.6% at room temperature, which was 9.3 times more higher than that of pure Ti3C2Tx. The sensors also have the advantages of long-term stability (33 d), low NH3 detection limit (500 ppb), and rapid recovery time (85 s) and response times (78 s). It is anticipated that this work will be helpful for developing the new generation of wearable ammonia sensors at room temperature.

ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) is an N-type direct bandgap semiconductor material with a visible light response, which exhibits excellent photocatalytic water-splitting performance. To enhance ZIS-based photocatalysts, heterojunction construction and cocatalyst loading methods have been explored extensively. In this research, a Co9S8/ZnIn2S4 (CS/ZIS) heterojunction was successfully synthesized via a solvothermal method, and then Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles were successfully loaded on CS/ZIS by photodeposition, yielding the Ni(OH)2/CS/ZIS photocatalyst. Our findings reveal tight coupling of ZIS nanosheets with the CS surface, establishing an effectively constructed heterojunction structure that enhances interface charge transfer and light absorption. The synergistic effect of CS and Ni(OH)2 significantly boosts the photocatalytic hydrogen production of ZIS composites. The optimum hydrogen production rate of CS/ZIS is 10.06 mmol·h–1·g–1 and that of Ni(OH)2/CS/ZIS reaches 12.92 mmol·h–1·g–1, a 11.9-fold increase over pure ZIS, with exceptional light stability. Furthermore, we discuss the photocatalytic reaction mechanism based on the experimental and characterization results. This work presents a novel approach to designing highly efficient photocatalysts using ZnIn2S4, aimed at enhancing the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy.

Converting methane (CH4), the greenhouse gas, into high-value liquid oxygenates by an electrochemical method under mild conditions is a desired technology for establishing an energy- and environment-sustainable society. However, challenges from the competition of the oxygen evolution reaction and selectivity of the desired products still exist. Here we report the catalytic performance of Cu2O/CuO for electrochemical conversion of methane into ethanol (CH3CH2OH). Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the Cu2O/CuO interface enables efficient CH4 adsorption, which provides an effective pathway for methane utilization under mild conditions. Based on electrochemical studies and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurement results, it is confirmed that the activated CH4 is converted to CH3CH2OH by reaction with active oxygen species (•OH radicals) electrogenerated in situ through the water oxidation reaction over Cu2O/CuO on the anode. Under the optimized conditions, a Faraday efficiency (FE) of 21.1% and a production rate of 126.7 μmol gcat–1 h–1 at ambient pressure for CH3CH2OH production were obtained, and the FE remained ∼19.0% at 2.2 V cell voltage during 8 h of electrolysis. When the pressure in the bath was lifted to 4.0 bar, the production rate of 441.3 μmol gcat–1 h–1 with an FE of 69.2% was obtained due to the higher solubility of CH4 in aqueous solution.

High energy storage in multilayer composites is pivotal for the progress of advanced electronic and power device systems, however, the uneven distribution of electric fields caused by significant dielectric contrast between adjacent layers limits its potential gaining in energy density. Through incorporating transition layers into multilayer composites to mitigate interlayer dielectric contrast, herein, four-layer matrix gradient-structured composites ( x vol% PMMA/(100- x ) vol% P(VDF-HFP) have been designed and fabricated. The results demonstrate that the transition layers play a crucial role in hindering the breakdown process and homogenizing the electric field distribution. In addition, the linear PMMA as well as horizontally oriented nanoplates are also beneficial in enhancing their energy storage performances. The gradient-structured composite ultimately achieved an energy density of 24.3 J/cm³ and a charge-discharge efficiency of 86.6 % at 676.8 MV/m, significantly surpassing that of traditional multilayer nanocomposites. The strategies proposed here may represent a universal approach to further enhance energy storage performances of multilayer composites.

The development of electrode materials has become a top priority as the requirement of global energy. Two-dimensional Ni(OH) 2 nanomaterials hinder its application in supercapacitors due to its low conductivity and limited active sites.Herein, we synthesize Ni(OH) 2 @NiS composites by a two-step hydrothermal route. It increases the specific surface area of samples and improves the ion transport rate. The Ni(OH) 2 @NiS-2 product delivers a specific capacitance of 1778 F g -1 at 1 A g -1 and cycle stability (88% at 2 A g -1 after 10,000 times cycling).

CsPbBr 3 nanoplates (NPs) have shown great potential in diverse optoelectronic applications. Despite the wonderful luminescence properties, the inherent instability of these NPs hinders their use in practical situations. Herein, a facile water-assisted strategy is reported to synthesize highly stable blue emission CsPbBr 3 NPs encapsulated in PbBr(OH). The introduction of water directly into the reaction mixture is pivotal, as it triggers the transformation of bulk CsPbBr 3 nanocubes into 2-D CsPbBr 3 NPs within the PbBr(OH) matrix, resulting in the formation of CsPbBr 3 @PbBr(OH) microbricks. Remarkably, the water content in the reaction mixture allows the control of the number of perovskite layers in the NPs, thus enabling the emission color to be tuned from deep blue to green. The unconventional approach presented herein not only offers a cost-effective pathway to synthesize blue-emitting perovskites which are highly stable in a wide variety of polar and non-polar solvents, but also holds immense potential for propelling the advancement of high-performance LEDs and other optoelectronic devices. The findings underscore the significance of water in dictating the growth dynamics and emission characteristics of perovskite NPs, paving the way for their practical application.

This study investigates single-crystal structures of Lu3+/erythritol and nine rare earth–glycerol complexes, revealing deprotonation of normally inert OH groups via μ2-bridging (so-called DIOμ2 phenomenon). The pH drops upon alditol addition correlate with the deprotonation extent, showing increased deprotonation with decreasing lanthanide ionic radius (lanthanide contraction) and exceptionally high deprotonation for Sc3+. In all the rare earth/alditol complexes with the DIOμ2 phenomenon, two μ2-bridges merge into an M2O2 cluster (M is a rare earth ion) that is not very stable due to the Coulombic repulsion between two M3+ and between two O–. To stabilize the M2O2 cluster, the formation of more auxiliary five- and six-membered chelating rings between rare earth ions and alditol ligands is needed. Increment of the number of auxiliary five- and six-membered chelating rings favors the DIOμ2 reaction. This is the reason why the DIOμ2 reaction shows a progressively enhanced tendency when the alditol ligands change from myo-inositol to glycerol to erythritol and galactitol. The reaction is endothermic, as an increased temperature enhances deprotonation. The above results may be useful in the rational design of catalysts that efficiently activate inert OH bonds and facilitate related chemical processes.

4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), a hazardous chemical compound, presents significant risks to ecological balance, public well-being, and the integrity of the food supply chain. Consequently, the development of detection techniques characterized by both efficiency and precision is of utmost importance. In the present work, ZnCo(OH)F/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite was synthesized through a hydrothermal approach, followed by a high-temperature annealing process to transform them into ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs tailored for electrochemical sensing of 4-NP. The integration of MWCNTs during the fabrication process induced a pronounced synergistic interaction between ZnCo 2 O 4 and MWCNTs, leading to a substantial enhancement in the electrochemical performance of the composite. The ZnCo 2 O 4 /MWCNTs-based sensors exhibit notable benefits, including an expanded electrochemically active surface area, superior electrical conductivity, and exceptional selectivity. Under optimized experimental parameters (S/N = 3), the sensor exhibited a broad linear detection range (0.5–600 μM), coupled with a lower limit of detection of 0.026 μM. When used on real samples, the sensor showed recovery rates of 98.79 %–100.47 %, indicating its feasibility for practical use in environmental monitoring and food safety evaluation.

Open-shell organic radicals, characterized by their unique spin states, typically exhibit exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency. However, the development of open-shell organic radical materials with stability and high photothermal properties remains a challenge. Among these radicals, the stable and commercialized 4-OH-TEMPO radical molecule has garnered considerable attention in various organic synthesis reactions owing to its unique redox advantages, but it shows less application comparing with the other open-shell organic radicals in photo-thermal conversion. In this study, 4-OH-TEMPO exhibits favorable photothermal properties upon combination with Cu 2 + , thus it is capable of enhancing the reaction rate of HMF oxidation to DFF by a factor of 10 under LED (400 nm). Under illumination of LED, leading to the complete conversion of HMF and the generation of DFF with a yield of 99.7 % within 30 min. Mechanism study shows that the photothermal effect facilitates the kinetic process of the reaction, and accelerated conversion of 4-OH-TEMPO to the oxidatively active species 4-OH-TEMPO + under light-induced action further increased the reaction rate. This research proffers novel insights and references for 4-OH-TEMPO mediated organic synthesis reactions and the design of free-radical photothermal materials.
