The sluggish kinetics and severe volume expansion are two major drawbacks that limiting the application of transition metal sulfides electrode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we assembled Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene nanosheets into thin-walled hollow spheres with PMMA spheres as sacrificial template, on which MOF-derived CoS 2 nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon were grown (MXene@CoS 2 /NC). The MXene@CoS 2 /NC exhibits state-of-the-art sodium ion storage properties, including a high reversible capacity of 620 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 , superior rate capability (394 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1 ), and excellent cycling stability (355 mAh g −1 after 5000 cycles). The corresponding electrochemical tests prove that the MXene@CoS 2 /NC has fast Na + ion diffusion and electron transfer compared with its counterpart without MXene interfaces. XPS and XANES characterizations disclose the introduced MXene and increased pyrrolic N can weaken the Co-S bonds of CoS 2 , which facilitates the conversion reaction between CoS 2 and Na 2 S, and thus improves the sodium storage kinetics. The DFT calculations also demonstrate the MXene can improve the conductivity of electrode materials by fast interfacial electron transfer. In addition, the MXene hollow spheres and MOF-derived NC provide host structures for CoS 2 , which can increase the contact between electrolyte and active materials, buffer the volume expansion of CoS 2 , and thus enhancing the electrochemical stability. This work provides a feasible strategy to construct anode materials for SIBs with improved sodium storage kinetics and cycling stability.

Graphical Fine tweaking . Six heterometallic T5 selenides and their Se/S solid solutions M-In-Q (M=Cu or Cd; Q=Se or Se/S) have been solvothermally synthesized by a two-step method. The T5 selenide clusters, the largest supertetrahedral T n clusters reported to date, show photocatalytic activity that can be tuned according to their constituent components. Although supertetrahedral T n sulfide clusters ( n= 2–6) have been extensively explored, the synthesis of T n selenide clusters with n >4 has not been achieved thus far. Reported here are ionic-liquid (IL)-assisted precursor route syntheses, characterizations, and the photocatalytic properties of six new M-In-Q (M=Cu or Cd; Q=Se or Se/S) chalcogenide compounds, namely [Bmmim] 12 Cu 5 In 30 Q 52 Cl 3 (Im) (Q=Se ( T5-1 ), Se 48.5 S 3.5 ( T5-2 ); Bmmim=1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium, Im=imidazole), [Bmmim] 11 Cd 6 In 28 Q 52 Cl 3 (MIm) (Q=Se ( T5-3 ), Se 28.5 S 23.5 ( T5-4 ), Se 16 S 36 ( T5-5 ); MIm=1-methylimidazole), and [Bmmim] 9 Cd 6 In 28 Se 8 S 44 Cl(MIm) 3 ( T5-6 ). The cluster compounds T5-1 and T5-3 represent the largest molecular supertetrahedral T n selenide clusters to date. Under visible-light illumination, the Cu-In-Q compounds showed photocatalytic activity towards the decomposition of crystal violet, whereas the Cd-In-Q compounds exhibited good photocatalytic H 2 evolution activity. Interestingly, the experimental results show that the photocatalytic performances of the selenide/sulfide solid solutions were significantly better than those of their selenide analogues, for example, the degradation time of the organic dye with T5-2 was much shorter than that with T5-1 , whereas the photocatalytic H 2 evolution efficiencies with T5-3 – T5-6 improved significantly with increasing sulfur content. This work highlights the significance of IL-assisted precursor route synthesis and the tuning of photocatalytic properties through the formation of solid solutions.

This study focuses on developing a rapid, easy-to-use, and sensitive sensor for the electroanalytical detection of Metaxalone (MXL) for the first time. A novel sensor was created by combining sulfur-incorporated graphitic carbon nitride (S-GCN) with tungsten-doped titanium oxide nanoparticles (W: TiO 2 NPs) in a carbon paste, which was then loaded into a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube. The synthesized modifiers were characterized using SEM, XRD, and FTIR techniques to understand their structural, morphological, and functional features, contributing to the electrocatalytic activity of the modified sensor (W: TiO 2 /S-GCN@CPE). Comparative analysis showed that W: TiO 2 /S-GCN@CPE achieved higher detection currents than the unmodified carbon paste electrode (CPE). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) were used to detect and quantify MXL electrochemically. The electrode’s physicochemical properties were studied under optimal conditions within a potential range of 0.3 V to 1.5 V. The W: TiO 2 /S-GCN@CPE showed a detection limit of 0.85 x 10 -8 M and demonstrated linearity over a concentration range of 0.1–100 x 10 -7 M. The sensor’s selectivity against interference from metal ions was also assessed. In practical applications, the developed electrode effectively detected MXL in spiked water, tablets, and biological samples, showing significant detection capacity and good recovery rates. Additionally, the electrode demonstrated stability across multiple measurements, positioning W: TiO 2 /S-GCN@CPE as a promising sensor for MXL detection.

The selective oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol (KA oils) without additional initiator remains a challenge because of its inherent low activity and limited selectivity. To promote the selectivity of KA oils at high reaction conversion, a series of novel cobalt-based poly(ionic liquid)s (Co-PILs) catalysts were designed. The electronic structure and the microenvironment of Co sites in Co-PILs were regulated by tuning the contents of Co. By the regulation of the microenvironment, the cyclohexane conversion and KA oils selectivity are improved by 19% and 47% (Co-PIL-1–2.5) compared with traditional metal salt catalysts, respectively. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the electronic structure and coordination environment of transition metals can be effectively tailored. Notably, Co-PILs with low metal loading exhibit a remarkable ability to improve the reaction by transitioning from a low-spin to a high-spin state. Moreover, by adjusting the ratio of cobalt ions to ionic liquid monomers derived from PILs, the acidity, oxygen activation, and desorption of reactive oxygen species were also regulated accordingly. These properties play a pivotal role in the oxidation process, ultimately allowing for precise control over the activity and selectivity.

In this paper, we present a synthetic strategy for N-phenyl substituted benzimidazole-derived diamines, including 2-(4-(4-aminophenoxy) phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-amine (para-diamine) and 2-(3-(4-aminophenoxy) phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-amine (meta-diamine). Two distinct series of N-phenyl substituted poly (benzimidazole imide)s (PBIPIs) were synthesized via reaction with different aromatic dianhydrides. The simulation reveals distinct amine reaction activities of two diamine monomers. The obtained PBIPIs exhibit exceptional heat resistance attributed to N-phenyl substituted benzimidazole (BI). The temperature at which weight loss of 5 % (T 5% ) is in the range of 491–595 °C under N 2 environment, while the glass transition temperature is 237–329 °C. The PBIPIs exhibit specific solubility characteristics due to the flexible ether linkage groups' non-coplanarity and bulky pendant benzene groups. The PBIPIs possess tensile strength between 108 and 142 MPa, a tensile modulus of 4.0–5.9 GPa, and an elongation at a break of 4.2–26.4 %, indicating excellent mechanical properties. Additionally, the PBIPI with controlled molecular weight generated from BPADA incorporating 2-(3-(4-aminophenoxy) phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-amine (B-BPADA-PA) demonstrates exceptional melt processability. B-BPADA-PA possesses remarkable melt stability since its minimum complex viscosity is only 2100 Pa⋅s at 400 °C, and its melt viscosity ratio is 1.34 at 380 °C.

Antimony selenosulfide (Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 ) solar cells hold significant promise for sustainable photovoltaic technology due to their adjustable band gap, high absorption coefficient and good stability. In terms of device operation, the transfer of electrons from the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 layer to the electron transport layer (ETL) plays a crucial role in improving the photovoltaic performance of solar cells. Until now, high-efficiency Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells have typically employed cadmium sulfide (CdS) as the ETL. However, inadequate interface contact between the CdS and the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 layer often results in severe interface recombination, and the parasitic light absorption of CdS restricts the short-circuit current density ( J sc ). Therefore, the development of high-quality CdS film along with reduction of cadmium element usage remains an import issue for the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells. Herein, the poly(acrylic acid)-modified tin oxide (PAA-SnO 2 )/CdS double ETLs are introduced to improve the quality of both the CdS film and Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 film, while also strengthening the interface contact between CdS and Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 . The power conversion efficiency of the corresponding solar cells increases from 7.45% in the control device to 8.15% in the modified device. This work provides a simple PAA-modified SnO 2 -assisted CdS ETL strategy to improve the interface of CdS/Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 , thereby achieving efficient and stable Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells.

A nitrogen-phosphorus dual-doped auricularia auricula carbon (NP-AC) matrix was prepared through hydrothermal treatment using natural auricularia auricula as raw material and medium solution. Yeast was introduced and cultured by the auricularia auricula liquid medium. The NP-AC/S composite was prepared through further freeze-drying, carbonization, activation and compounding with sulfur procedures. The composition and microstructure of samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The morphology was observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) method. The specific surface area was analyzed using nitrogen adsorption/desorption test. The weight ratio of sulfur was measured through thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The original structure and composition of biomass were improved by yeast fermentation and the auricularia auricula block structure with low porosity was modified. The electrochemical performance of NP-AC/S composite in Li-S batteries was systematically explored. After 100 cycles at 0.2C current density, there was still nearly 1000 mAh g −1 reversible capacity, holding a capacity retention rate of more than 84 %. The cycle performance and rate performance were both far better than the ordinary activated carbon materials.

Seawater electrolysis offers a viable strategy for the large-scale production of clean hydrogen. However, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is often compromised by the competitive chloride evolution reaction and the associated corrosion in seawater environments. Herein, we present a novel NiFe-S aerogel (AG) electrocatalyst featuring a porous 3D-network structure and a core–shell architecture. This catalyst demonstrates outstanding OER performance, achieving a low overpotential of 260 mV at 100 mA cm −2 , a Tafel slope of 55 mV dec -1 , and remarkable stability exceeding 500 h at 500 mA cm −2 in alkaline natural seawater. Through combined experimental and computational analyses, we discovered that the self-reconstructed crystalline-amorphous (Ni,Fe)OOH/NiFeS 2 heterojunction is pivotal to the outstanding performance of the NiFe-S AG electrocatalyst. The unique heterostructure facilitates electron transfer and down shifts the d-band center of the active sites, optimizing the adsorption strength of oxygen-containing intermediate species. Moreover, the stability is augmented by increased Fe and Ni vacancy formation energies, and higher affinity for OH – over Cl - , hence attenuating the corrosion from Cl - and suppressing the leaching of active sties. This work highlights the significance of the crystalline-amorphous heterojunction in aerogel catalyst and offers new insights into the design of efficient electrocatalysts for seawater oxidation.

Bamboo holocellulose emerges as a significant candidate in the field of bio-based functional materials, owing to its rapid growth cycle, high strength, and antioxidant properties. However, its flammability poses a significant critical challenge, thereby hindering the widespread application of this carbonized polymer. In this study, we present a straightforward and efficient ternary deep eutectic solvent (TDES) pretreatment strategy. Specifically, the TDES treatment was employed to chemically introduce P/N/S groups into holocellulose and lignin, resulting in the production of flame-retardant holocellulose (HC-SP) and lignin (Lignin-SP), respectively. By adjusting the ratio of these two components, nanosuspensions and nanocomposite films were fabricated through a co-grinding process. The incorporation of Lignin-SP imparted the P/N/S-containing holocellulose nanofibril composite films with exceptional flame retardancy (with a limiting oxygen index exceeding 52.5 %), substantial tensile strength (reaching 152.3 MPa), robust UV-blocking capability (blocking over 98.9 % of UV radiation), and biodegradability (degrading within 70 days). This straightforward preparation strategy for all-biobased green flame-retardant packaging materials holds promising application potential in the fields of flame-retardant food packaging.

The S/O/W method of solvent evaporation was utilized in this work for manufacturing poly ( ε −caprolactone) (PCL) microspheres loaded with 1−methylcyclopropene (1−MCP−α−CD) and eugenol (EUG) for temperature- and humidity-regulated EUG release. The composite microspheres with higher encapsulation efficiency (71.39 % ± 2.71 %) were attained by optimizing the rotation speed and mass ratio of PCL to composite powder . The microspheres had good spherical shape without large pores. The rate of release could be managed by different temperature and relative humidity conditions with the release of microspheres (96.82 % ± 0.81 % in 12 days) at the temperature of 60 °C (90 % relative humidity) and (86.50 % ± 2.71 % in 12 days) at the 90 % relative humidity (60 °C). Microsphere encapsulation of EUG and 1−MCP−α−CD was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometer. Thermal gravity analysis demonstrated that the degradation of EUG@β−CD and 1−MCP−α−CD was delayed after encapsulation. The deterioration of loquat (Baiyu, white-fleshed) can be postponed after treatment of EUG/1-MCP composite microspheres. Relative conductivity, total soluble solids, hardness, color, titratable acid , and weight loss of the loquat were also improved. It could significantly inhibit polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activities and inhibited browning of loquat tissue. EUG/1−MCP composite microspheres we formulated in this work might be employed to increase the shelf life of loquat.

Graphical A molecular-level hierarchical Znln 2 S 4 /HPW S-scheme heterojunction was prepared through one-pot hydrothermal method in this work. The obtained Znln 2 S 4 /HPW heterojunction photocatalysts indicated molecular-level interfacial contact, enhanced light absorption, and accelerated charge separation and transfer, achieving efficient overall H 2 production and benzyl alcohol oxidation with corresponding photogenerated electrons and holes, respectively. Simultaneous utilization of photogenerated electrons and holes to achieve overall redox reactions is attractive but still far from practical application. The emerging step (S)-scheme mechanism has proven to be an ideal approach to inhibit charge recombination and supply photoinduced charges with highest redox potentials. Herein, a hierarchical phosphotungstic acid (H 3 PW 12 O 40 , HPW)@Znln 2 S 4 (ZISW) heterojunction was prepared through one-pot hydrothermal method for simultaneous hydrogen (H 2 ) evolution and benzyl alcohol upgrading. The fabricated HPW-based heterojunctions indicated much enhanced visible-light absorption, promoted photogenerated charge transfer and inhibited charge recombination, owing to hierarchical architecture based on visible-light responsive Znln 2 S 4 microspheres, and S-scheme charge transfer pathway. The S-scheme mechanism was further verified by free-radical trapping electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. Moreover, the wettability of composite heterojunction was improved by the modification of hydrophilic HPW, contributing to gaining active hydrogen (H + ) from water sustainably. The optimal ZISW-30 heterojunction photocatalyst indicated an enhanced hydrogen evolution rate of 27.59 mmol g −1 h −1 in benzyl alcohol (10 vol. %) solution under full-spectrum irradiation, along with highest benzaldehyde production rate is 8.32 mmol g −1 h −1 . This work provides a promising guideline for incorporating HPW into S-scheme heterojunctions to achieve efficient overall redox reactions.

Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is considered a novel early strength agent, showing immense potential in enhancing the early strength of cement-based materials. Polycarboxylate (PCE) is widely used as a dispersant in the synthesis of nano-C-S-H to prevent agglomeration during synthesis. However, a comprehensive investigation is still required to establish a stable method for preparing stable C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites using chemical co-precipitation. This study employed orthogonal experiments, range analysis, variance analysis, and multi-index matrix analysis to explore the effect of the chemical co-precipitation synthesis process on the stability of C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites. It conclusively identified the calcium-to-silicon (C/S) ratio as the sole significant influencing factor, establishing optimal synthesis parameters: a C/S ratio of 1.6, stirring at 8000 r/min, a 2-hour reaction time, and a reaction temperature of 30 °C. Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to investigate the impact of the C/S ratio on the structure and morphology of C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites. Results indicated that under the optimal synthesis parameters, the average particle size and precipitation rate of the synthesized C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites were 0.122 µm and 0.44%, respectively, exhibiting a 4.7% and 47.6% improvement over the best samples in the orthogonal test. Increasing the C/S ratio decreased the crystallinity of the C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites, resulting in the emergence of multiple crystal structures, compact and ordered morphology, and reduced sedimentation. These findings collectively underscore that C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites with higher C/S ratios exhibit enhanced dispersion and stability, validating the rationality of the optimal synthesis parameters identified in this study.
