The practical application of Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is significantly inhibited by (i) the notable ‘shuttle effect’ of lithium polysulfides (LiPS), (ii) the corrosion of the lithium interface, and (iii) the sluggish redox reaction kinetics. The functional separator in the Li-S battery has the potential to provide the perfect solution to these problems. Herein a triple-layer multifunctional PVDF-based nanofiber separator, which contains GoTiN/PVDF layer on the top and bottom and ZnTPP/PVDF layer on the middle, is designed. The polarity and porous structure of this multifunctional separator can greatly improve the wettability of electrolytes and enhance the transportation of Li + . With the zinc-based porphyrin framework (ZnTPP) structure, this separator has a strong chemisorption and LiPS conversion ability, which greatly prevent the ‘shuttle effect’. Consequently, the designed multilayer separator showed excellent electrochemical performance. As a result, the cell with GoTiN@ZnTPP@GoTiN nanofiber membrane displayed an initial discharge capacity of 1180 mAh/g with a benign capacity retention of 65.9% at 0.5C and high coulombic efficiency of more than 98.5% after 100 cycles. Even at 2C, it can still release a capacity of 798 mAh/g. Moreover, the remarkable capacity of 591 mAh/g could be achieved with a high sulfur load of 5.76 mg/cm 2 under a current density of 0.1C. Based on these merits, this novel and scalable multifunctional separator is a promising candidate to replace the conventional PP separator for advanced Li-S batteries to deal with various challenges.

A novel interfacial reaction nucleation mechanism for the preparation of water-soluble Ag–In–S quantum dots (AIS QDs) was proposed in which interfacial acid regulates the concentration of hydroxide ions outside the complex and sulfur sources attack cations at the interface of the complex, covalent bonds between cations and sulfur sources are formed at the interface of the complex, and the nucleation and growth of crystals is finished at room temperature. By bypassing the heating process normally necessary for crystal nucleation and growth, AIS QDs can be produced on a large scale under simple, mild conditions. At the same time, the characteristics of this mechanism enable AIS QDs to be directly synthesized in an organic pollutant solution. This study represents a significant advance in the mechanism of crystal synthesis and contributes to the photocatalytic decomposition of organic pollutants from theory to practice.

Zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs) are regarded as a potential candidate for large-scale energy storage devices. However, the inadequate cathode and the inferior wettability between the electrode and electrolyte hinder the construction of high-performance ZIHCs. Herein, boron (B) and sulfur (S) co-doped spongy-like hierarchically porous carbon (B2S3C) is first proposed as a cathode material for ZIHCs. Here, B doping is favorable for improving the wettability, while S doping contributes to enhancing the electrical properties. In addition, the density functional theory (DFT) results uncover that B and S atoms contribute to reducing the energy barrier between Zn2+ and the cathode, leading to boosted chemical adsorption ability of Zn2+ on the cathode. As a result, the assembled ZIHC based on B2S3C exhibits a high specific capacity of 182.6 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, an excellent capacity retention of 96.2% after 10 000 cycles and a remarkable energy density of 292.2 W h kg−1 at a power density of 62.2 W kg−1, superior to the previously reported ZIHCs. Due to the flexibility of the assembled electrodes, the solid-state ZIHC can sustain various deformations. This work paves a feasible path for the development of cost-effective and high-performance porous carbon materials.

For preparing finer and well-dispersed calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) seeds at a lower cost, the waste solution of acid treatment of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) and black liquor from pulping were used for the synthesis of C-S-H seeds. The results show that C-S-H seeds can be successfully fabricated by chemical co-precipitation reaction using the two waste solutions. Interestingly, it was globular rather than traditional foil-like. Furthermore, C-S-H seeds synthesized using the two waste solutions had smaller particle size and better dispersibility. More importantly, it had a more prominent accelerating effect to the strength development of mortar, significantly enhancing the early and long-term compressive strength of mortar.

Elemental red phosphorus (RP) has an ultra-low activity of splitting water for H 2 and O 2 evolution. In this study, RP was decorated by trace amount of WO 3 to greatly enhance the photocarriers separation and photocatalytic activity for overall water splitting under visible light. The 2.5% WO 3 /RP composite achieved the highest activity to produce H 2 and O 2 , and the activity was 7.0 times that of pure RP under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm). The significantly increased photocarriers separation of WO 3 /RP was ensured by transient photocurrent, electrochemical impendence, photoluminescence, and time-resolved photoluminescence characterizations. More importantly, WO 3 /RP maintained high stability when it was persistently used for 20 cycles. Based on the reactive oxygen species ( O 2 − and OH) detected during the photocatalytic process, an S-scheme mechanism was proposed for WO 3 /RP composites to efficiently separate the photocarriers. This work provides a notion for improving the overall water splitting activity of RP via an S-scheme photocarriers separation mode.

Modern microelectronics devices urgently request low dielectric constant materials with commendable mechanical properties. Novel fluorinated poly(aryl ether)s (FPPEs) were prepared by traditional polycondensation of 4-(4-Hydroxylphenyl)(2H)-phthalazin-1-one (DHPZ), Bisphenol AF (BAF) and Decafluorobiphenyl (DFB) to study bulky phthalazinone effects on mechanical and dielectric behavior of polymers. After the introduction of phthalazinone moieties, FPPEs showed excellent solubility to readily solve in many organic solvents like NMP, DMAc, CHCl 3 , and THF. Simultaneously, they exhibited relatively high glass transition temperatures ( T g s) from 180 °C to 294 °C, increasing with the content of phthalazinone groups. The FPPEs still possessed excellent thermal stability with decomposition temperature up to 514 °C and char yield at 800 °C as high as 56% under nitrogen atmosphere. FPPE films showed good mechanical strength with tensile stress higher than 68 MPa and modulus surpassing 10.8 MPa, also increasing with phthalazinone concentration. The dielectric property of FPPEs was investigated with impedance analyzer. FPPE8020 and FPPE 6040 showed dielectric constant from 3.10 to 3.30 and dielectric loss of 0.005–0.008 under a large frequency range of 0.02–60 GHz. The phthalazinone moieties mainly contributed to the decrease of dielectric constant. The results evidently suggest FPPEs as commendable candidate for those high-tech electronic applications.

In this work, a nanosheet-assembled core-shell structure composite of Co-Ni-S@CoNi-LDH was prepared on Ni foam via hydrothermal synthesis , in which Co-Ni-S nanowires as cores were assembled with the shell of CoNi-LDH nanosheets. The combination of the high conductivity of Co-Ni-S, the high specific surface area of CoNi-LDH and the multivalent state of Ni and Co provided more active sites, short and effective ion transport paths, and great synergy, which played significant roles in the excellent performance of Co-Ni-S@CoNi-LDH. Meanwhile, the nanosheet-assembled core-shell structure improved the overall stability. Based on the characterisation and the performance measurements, the Co-Ni-S@CoNi-LDH electrode showed an excellent electrochemical performance. The Co-Ni-S@CoNi-LDH electrode acquired a specific capacitance of 2414 F/g at a 1 A/g current density and a high cycle stability with an 89.7% retention after 3000 cycles. The assembled hybrid supercapacitor Co-Ni-S@CoNi-LDH//AC delivered a high energy density of 59.11 Wh kg −1 at an 855.43 W kg −1 power density, as well as an excellent rate performance of 81% after 5000 cycles at a 5 A/g current density, showing good potential for practical applications.

The cerium-based redox flow battery (RFB) is regarded as a compelling grid-scale energy storage technology to revolutionize the utilization of renewable energy by storing the energy in liquid electrolytes. However, its widespread implementation is impeded by the cerium redox reactions that exhibit slow kinetics on commercial graphite felt (GF) electrodes. Surface functionalization may be an available activation strategy to achieve a significant boost in the electrochemical performance of GFs. However, conventional chemical and/or electrochemical routes for the surface functionalization of GFs suffer from the issues of complication, and the deterioration of the resulting modified electrode surface over long-term cycle processes leads to catalytic activity decline. Here, we develop a facile and general strategy for introducing the functional groups to the electrode through the addition of l -cysteine into electrolytes. The –COOH, –NH 2 , and –SH groups in l -cysteine can induce oxygen/nitrogen/sulfur trifunctional doping on GF surfaces with lower deterioration rates, which enables the activated GFs to demonstrate a promising electrocatalytic activity toward cerium redox reactions and excellent durability when used as a cerium-based RFB electrode. This study proposes a rational strategy to overcome the intrinsic limitations of existing modification techniques for GFs and provides a potential pathway toward high-performance RFBs.

The metal–organic framework (MOF) UiO-66-NH2 was synthesized and attached to kenaf stem-derived three-dimensional macroporous carbon (3D-KSC) simultaneously, and then, the isothiocyanate functional group was introduced into UiO-66-NH2 MOFs to prepare UiO-66-NHC(S)NHMe/3D-KSC nanocomposites. The amount of UiO-66-NHC(S)NHMe MOFs on 3D-KSC can be controlled easily by the monomer concentration. There were three adsorption sites (two nitrogen atoms and one sulfur atom) on each structural unit of UiO-66-NHC(S)NHMe for adsorption toward heavy metal ions (HMIs) and well-regulated pores and 3D macropores of 3D-KSC to promote the transfer of HMIs. Therefore, UiO-66-NHC(S)NHMe/3D-KSC nanocomposites can be applied for the removal and electrochemical detection of Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+. The detection limits of Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+ were 0.0125, 0.0124, 0.0111, and 0.0094 μM, respectively. The sensitivities were 879.1, 887.6, 992.5, and 1160.7 μA μM–1 cm–2, respectively. UiO-66-NHC(S)NHMe/3D-KSC showed fine reproducibility and stability as well as strong anti-interference ability. In addition, the HMIs can be removed effectively by UiO-66-NHC(S)NHMe/3D-KSC with the maximum adsorption capacity of 88, 391, 223, and 935 mg·g–1 for Cd2+, Pb2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+, respectively. The results show that UiO-66-NHC(S)NHMe/3D-KSC has great potential for the adsorption and detection of HMIs.

The development of electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity is conducive to enhancing polysulfides adsorption and reducing activation energy of polysulfides conversion, which can effectively reduce polysulfide shuttling in Li-S batteries. Herein, a novel catalyst NiCo-MoO x /rGO (rGO = reduced graphene oxides) with ultra-nanometer scale and high dispersity is derived from the Anderson-type polyoxometalate precursors, which are electrostatically assembled on the multilayer rGO. The catalyst material possesses dual active sites, in which Ni-doped MoO x exhibits strong polysulfide anchoring ability, while Co-doped MoO x facilitates the polysulfides conversion reaction kinetics, thus breaking the Sabatier effect in the conventional electrocatalytic process. In addition, the prepared NiCo-MoO x /rGO modified PP separator (NiCo-MoO x /rGO@PP) can serve as a physical barrier to further inhibit the polysulfide shuttling effect and realize the rapid Li + migration. The results demonstrate that Li-S coin cell with NiCo-MoO x /rGO@PP separator shows excellent cycling performance with the discharge capacity of 680 mAh·g −1 after 600 cycles at 1 C and the capacity fading of 0.064% per cycle. The rate performance is also impressive with the remained capacity of 640 mAh·g −1 after 200 cycles even at 4 C. When the sulfur loading is 4.0 mg·cm −2 and electrolyte volume/sulfur mass ratio (E/S) ratio is 6.0 μL·mg −1 , a specific capacity of 830 mAh·g −1 is achieved after 200 cycles with a capacity decay of 0.049% per cycle. More importantly, the cell with NiCo-MoO x /rGO@PP separator exhibits cycling performance under wide operating temperature with the reversible capacities of 518, 715, and 915 mAh·g −1 after 100 cycles at −20, 0, and 60 °C, respectively. This study provides a new design approach of highly efficient catalysts for sulfur conversion reaction in Li-S batteries.

Graphical Two novel star-shaped fluorophores named PDI−S and PDI−Se are constructed by S/Se-fused perylene diimides (PDIs) connected with bicarbazole core. Particularly, PDI−S presents excellent two-photon absorption cross-action (δ TPA ) of 3775 GM excited with 800 nm light, which is the highest value based on PDIs motif in the NIR−I region (700–900 nm). Two-photon absorption (TPA) has attracted growing attention over recent years owing to the wide range of applications in organic nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The quantitative sensitivity of a two-photon molecular entity is determined by its TPA cross-section (δ TPA ). Perylene diimides (PDIs) are excellent n-type organic semiconductor materials demonstrating distinguished thermal, optical, and chemical stability. Nonetheless, PDIs-based scaffolds exhibit poor δ TPA in the NIR−I region (700–900 nm) due to the lack of suitable molecular design. Here, two novel star-shaped PDIs fluorophores, namely PDI−S and PDI−Se, were constructed by four periphery S/Se-fused PDIs connected with bicarbazole core. PDI−S manifested excellent δ TPA of 3775 GM, which are among the highest values reported for PDIs excited in the NIR−I region.

Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 are emerging as promising photovoltaic materials due to their outstanding photoelectrical performances, benign grain boundaries, and Earth-abundant constituent elements. However, there are largely distributed cation-disordering defects and defect clusters, which lead to an increase in recombination and a large open-circuit voltage deficit and thus deteriorate device performance. Herein, defect control for a high-efficiency Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 solar cell by atomic layer deposition of aluminum oxide (ALD-Al 2 O 3 ) on the precursor film is reporter. Cu Zn defects and Sn-related deep defects are largely suppressed because of the decrease in Sn 2+ and the increase in Sn 4+ in the film by ALD-Al 2 O 3 on the precursor are found, and the crystallinity of absorber layer is improved from a double-layer structure to a completely single-layer structure. Furthermore, the carrier lifetime and recombination in the bulk and interface are significantly improved for devices with ultrathin Al 2 O 3 . Using this approach, the conversion efficiency increases from 8.8% to 11.0% and the open-circuit voltage deficit decreases from 0.621 to 0.577 V. Herein, a deep understanding of the relationship between Al 2 O 3 incorporation and high-efficiency Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 devices and a new direction for controlling defects to further improve the performance of kesterite solar cells are provided.
