As a typical iron-based oxide semiconductor with abundant reserves, α-Fe 2 O 3 has been widely used in the domain of photocatalysis and environmental remediation. Here, sulfur doped α-Fe 2 O 3 (S-α-Fe 2 O 3 ) has been successfully fabricated through coprecipitation, hydrothermal and calcination processes and applied to activate persulfate (PS) for carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation under UV irradiation. Systematic characterizations were conducted to analyze the morphology, structure and chemical composite of S-α-Fe 2 O 3 . UV/PS/S-α-Fe 2 O 3 process showed remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance for CBZ degradation. The degradation rate constant (7.78 × 10 −2 min −1 ) was about 2.2 and 14.1 times as high as that of UV/PS/α-Fe 2 O 3 (3.60 × 10 −2 min −1 ) and UV/PS (5.53 × 10 −3 min −1 ) processes, respectively. With increasing PS concentration and photocatalyst dosage, the removal efficiency of CBZ both increased. UV/PS/S-α-Fe 2 O 3 process can efficiently and steadily operate in a wide pH range of 3.0–8.0. The introduction of water matrix species (i.e. chloride, bicarbonate, nitrate and humic acid) exerted different effects on CBZ degradation. S-dopant was doped via forming ≡Fe III -SO 4 2- bond on S-α-Fe 2 O 3 surface, and doped sulfur functioned as surface electrons trapping centers derived from DFT study. The band gap value of S-α-Fe 2 O 3 was reduced and the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes was improved. Hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals, superoxide radicals and holes all contributed to CBZ destruction. Furthermore, two major routes of CBZ degradation were proposed as hydroxylation and deamination, then followed by decarbonxylation, ketonization and ring cleavage based on the results of HPLC-MS and DFT calculation.

Cobalt-based catalysts can promote sulfite oxidation to recover the valuable byproducts formed during wet magnesia desulfurization. However, Hg(II) in the desulfurization slurry degrades the quality of reclaimed products and poses considerable environmental risk. Here, a bifunctional sulfur-doped catalyst/adsorbent, Co-TUD-1/S, is prepared through one-pot synthesis, in which the sulfur site is designed for trapping aqueous Hg 2+ . The catalytic rate of Co-TUD-1/S for MgSO 3 is 0.083 mmol/L/S, which is 10.4 times of that under non-catalytic condition, the removal efficiency of Hg 2+ is higher than 90%. The isothermal models and kinetic models for the adsorption of Hg 2+ are well-fitted to the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order model, respectively, and the maximum adsorption capacity of experimental data is 96 mg/g. The characterization results confirm that Co 3 O 4 is functioned as the active catalysis site, and the formation of S–Hg bonds plays a crucial role in Hg 2+ capture. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Co site is more likely to combine with sulfite rather than Hg 2+ , which reduces the interference of absorbed Hg 2+ on the catalytic activity of Co. Specialization and cooperation between the catalysis site of –Co and adsorption site of –S are realized. The results reveal that the use of Co-TUD-1/S is a feasible strategy for improving wet desulfurization efficiency.

Pd-based materials are promising alternatives to Pt for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR), which is the critical electrode reaction for many oxygen-electrocatalysis-based energy storage and conversion devices. Modification of electronic structure and support effect are powerful tools for boosting ORR performance of Pd-based catalysts. Herein, phosphorus (P) doped-palladium sulfide (Pd 4 S) nanoparticles decorated on P/sulfur (S) co-doped reduced graphene oxide (P-Pd 4 S/PSG) is prepared via a one-step solvothermal method using triphenylphosphine sulfide as both P and S sources. The incorporation of P effectively tailors the electronic structure and coordination environment of Pd 4 S, while P-Pd 4 S decorated on PSG generates strong metal-support interaction, which synergistically promotes electrocatalytic performance towards ORR. The proposed synthetic method offers a feasible route for the rational construction of heteroatoms-doped carbon − metal composites with high-performance for ORR and other potential energy applications.

A novel S-scheme photocatalytic heterojunction composite nanomaterial is developed by integrating zero-dimensional WO 3 quantum dots (WQDs) on two-dimensional ultrathin CdIn 2 S 4 (CIS) nanosheets with the aim of fostering carrier separation, enhancing the performance of carrier interface transport, minimizing carrier distance transport, and achieving effective photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. The composite photocatalyst WQDs/CdIn 2 S 4 (WCIS) allows for the efficient photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to CO and CH 4 , as shown by product analysis and isotopic measurement. The photogenerated electrons in WQDs recombine with the holes in CIS nanosheets, and the left electrons in CIS have stronger CO 2 reduction abilities. The highest yields of CO and CH 4 achieved with the WCIS photocatalyst are 8.2 and 1.6 μmol g -1 h −1 ––2.6 and 8 times higher than those for CIS, respectively. Moreover, the S-scheme WCIS possesses a stable crystal structure and recycling ability. Finally, the S-scheme charge transfer path on the WCIS composite is proposed according to theoretical calculation, in-situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) analyses.

Ion doping strategy is a promising method to enhance the efficiency of Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, however, most of the reported works focus on studying the single ion doping in CZTSSe absorber layers . Here, Li + &Ag + and Li + &Cd 2+ double-ion-doping strategy are applied to improve the microstructure and device performances. We found that the double-ion-doping strategy can obviously increase the grain size, reduce the thickness of fine-grain layers and enhance the device performances. Furthermore, the PCEs of Li + &Ag + and Li + &Cd 2+ doped CZTSSe solar cells are up to 8.87% and 8.39%, respectively. It shows an encouraging improvement of over 43.5% and 35.8% enhancement compared with the traditional method (6.18%), and significantly higher than single ion doping strategy (7.60%, 7.99% and 7.11% for Li + , Ag + , and Cd 2+ doped CZTSSe solar cells). This work provides a new solution to improve the microstructure and device performances of CZTSSe solar cells.

The quaternary chalcogenide Cu 2 Zn(Sn 1-x Ge x )(S,Se) 4 bulks, where x is G e / [ G e + S n ] molar ratios of 0, 0.15, 0.30, and 0.45 were synthesized via reactive liquid phase sintering at 600 °C for 30 min in the tube furnace and characterized systematically. Together with Sb 2 S 3 as a reactive liquid phase sintering aid, the effects of Ge incorporation on densification, grain boundary, crystal phase purity, crystalline size, and electrical properties were studied. The morphology of the resulted Cu 2 Zn(Sn 1-x Ge x )(S,Se) 4 bulk was found to be more densified and compacted at G e / [ G e + S n ] molar ratio of 0.15 compared to the rests. The X-ray diffraction peaks were shifted towards a higher angle as Ge fraction was increased. The hole concentrations for the entirely p-type bulks were determined to be 3.67 × 10 18 , 1.40 × 10 18 , 1.28 × 10 18 , and 8.90 × 10 17 cm −3 at G e / [ G e + S n ] molar ratios of 0, 0.15, 0.30, and 0.45, respectively. The effects on conductivity and mobility were consistent with their interrelations. Hence, the synthesis and study of Ge incorporated Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 bulk using powder technique allows identifying the composition which is expectedly more important for the fabrication of thin film solar cells.

In recent years, multi-heteroatom-doped hierarchical porous carbons (HPCs) derived from natural potential precursors and synthesized in a simple, efficient and environmentally friendly manner have received extensive attention in many critical technology applications. Herein, bean worms (BWs), a pest in bean fields, were innovatively employed as a precursor via a one-step method to prepare N–O–P–S co-doped porous carbon materials. The pore structure and surface elemental composition of carbon can be modified by adjusting KOH dosage, exhibiting a high surface area (SBET) of 1967.1 m2 g−1 together with many surface functional groups. The BW-based electrodes for supercapacitors were shown to have a good capacitance of up to 371.8 F g−1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte at 0.1 A g−1, and good rate properties with 190 F g−1 at a high current density of 10 A g−1. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor based on the optimal carbon material (BWPC1/3) was also assembled with a wide voltage window of 2.0 V, demonstrating satisfactory energy density (27.5 W h kg−1 at 200 W kg−1) and electrochemical cycling stability (97.1% retention at 10 A g−1 over 10 000 charge/discharge cycles). The facile strategy proposed in this work provides an attractive way to achieve high-efficiency and scalable production of biomass-derived HPCs for energy storage.

Facing low reactivity/selectivity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in electro-Fenton (EF), N, S atoms were introduced into carbon-based cathode. “End-on” O 2 adsorption was achieved by adjusting electronic nature via N doping, while *OOH binding capability was tuned by spin density variation via S doping. Results showed the optimized N, S co-doped cathode presented a 42.47% improvement of H 2 O 2 accumulation (7.95 ± 0.02 mg L −1 cm −2 ). According to density functional theory (DFT), N, S co-doped structure favored the “end-on” O 2 adsorption as adsorption energy dropped to − 2.24 eV. Moreover, O-O/C-O bond lengths variation proved a possibility for *OOH desorption. The elaborated cathode was used in EF for sulfonamides (SAs) decay. A 100% removal rate of sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ) and sulfadimethoxine (SDM) was achieved within 60 min, among which SDZ tended to be degraded easily. Because the absolute hardness ( η ) of those pollutants is ranked as follows: η SDM > η STZ > η SDZ . Degradation pathways were proposed based on the detected byproducts, along with toxicity was evaluated by ecological structure-activity relationship (ECOSAR) program. Results showed that toxic intermediates generated were reduced or even disappeared. EF with N, S co-doped cathode provides a promising process for antibiotics wastewater treatment .

A new type of poly(ether-amide) thermoplastic elastomer (TPAE) was synthesized using poly(decamethylene terephthalamide (10T)/decamethylene isophthalamide) as hard segment and poly(ethylene glycol) as soft segment via an efficient, accessible and low-pollution melt polymerization method. Thermoplastic elastomer was synthesized based on semi-aromatic polyamide for the first time. The effects of various compositions of hard segments on the thermal and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that TPAE synthesized from semi-aromatic polyamide has excellent thermal stability, the initial decomposition temperature of all samples being between 370 and 378 °C. With an increase of 10T content, crystallization ability of the hard segment increased. As 10T content increased, TPAE changed from amorphous to crystalline, and the melting temperature ranged from 175 to 236 °C. Tensile testing revealed that TPAE had excellent and adjustable mechanical properties, and that tensile strength, elongation at break and elasticity modulus were in the ranges 7–40 MPa, 468–835% and 0.036–1.80 MPa. Furthermore, high-temperature tensile test results showed that TPAE-4 still maintained considerable mechanical properties, and had better mechanical properties compared with Pebax® 5533. In particular, TPAE-4 had higher performance decay point for which elasticity modulus and stress at ε = 500% decreased rapidly when the temperature was higher than 80 °C, this point for Pebax® 5533 appearing at 50 °C. Such outstanding performance indicated that this new class of elastomer has the potential to be used in high-temperature conditions. © 2020 Society of Industrial Chemistry

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are regarded as potential next-generation energy storage systems due to their high theoretical energy densities. However, the dissolution of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) upon cycling can result in severe capacity degradation. Achieving high rate capabilities with good cycling stability remains a huge obstacle for the practical implementation of Li–S batteries. Here we developed a novel, multifunctional, hierarchical structure by self-assembling core–shell MnO2 nanorods @ hollow porous carbon with 2D Ti3C2Tx nanosheets, labelled as MCT, as an efficient polysulfide mediator for Li–S cathodes. The integration of the polar MnO2 core and hollow porous carbon shell captures LiPSs two ways: physical confinement and chemisorption. The conductive Ti3C2Tx nanosheets construct a continuous and conductive network, which not only promotes charge transfer and ion diffusion but also boosts LiPS adsorption and conversion. Based on these merits, the MCT/S cathode delivers good rate capability (688 mA h g−1 at 2.0C) and outstanding long-term cyclability (0.044% capacity decay per cycle over 600 cycles at 2.0C).

Herein, S-doped Co-Fe hybrid films with unique 3D porous microsphere arrays stacked by ultrathin nanoflakes directly grown on nickel foam (Co-Fe-S NFs@MS/NF) are synthesized via a single-step co-electrodeposition strategy. The synergistic effects among Fe, S and Co enable superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity in basic environments. Impressively, this hybrid material can achieve further enhanced OER catalytic performance with surface self-assembly through in-situ electrochemical oxidation activation in both gentle alkaline (GA: 1.0 M KOH at 298 K) and industrial alkaline (IA: 30 wt.% KOH at 353 K) water electrolysis conditions. The transition processes are revealed in detail regarding the chemical, structural, and catalytic properties of the catalysts served in the GA and IA conditions. The pristine quasi-amorphous Co-Fe-S is found to partially transform into crystallized Co(Fe)OOH in the GA condition, while it remains amorphous nature in the IA condition. The enhanced OER activity is attributed to the formation of active Co(Fe)OOH species with massively proliferated specific surface area, optimized electronic structure, and accelerated kinetics. The activated Co-Fe-S NFs@MS/NF exhibits excellent OER activity, achieving 10 and 500 mA cm −2 at ultralow potentials of 1.453 (iR corrected) and 1.517 V with outstanding durability in the GA and IA conditions, respectively. For full water splitting, the assembled two-electrode system based on the Co-Fe-S NFs@MS/NF anode and a Co-S based cathode affords voltages of only 1.518 and 1.685 V to robustly deliver 10 and 500 mA cm −2 in GA and IA conditions over 200 h, respectively.
