Electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices that combine high-performance are essential to resolve the extreme shortage of non-renewable energy sources and environmental issues. Nickel oxide (NiO) is considered to be a promising EES cathode material because of its ultra-high theoretical specific capacitance, whereas the practical applications are greatly limited with poor rate and cycle performance. Herein, we report the yolk-shelled NiO/Ni composites (YS NiO/Ni) that exhibit good charge storage capability in the aqueous electrolyte with high specific capacitance (2207.3 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 ), exceptional rate capability, and ultra-high cycling stability (95.8% retention after 10,000 cycles). The superior property can be ascribed to the special yolk-shelled structure that exposes more redox reaction active sites, and the associate Ni nanoparticles with flower-like NiO which can improve electron transfer as current collectors.

In this paper, LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite as anode for aqueous lithium ion battery has been successfully synthesized by in-situ carbon coating method using oxalic acid and glucose as double carbon sources. XRD results confirm the rhombohedral NASICON-type LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 structure of the as-prepared composite. The LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources (LTP-OG-10) disperses well, and the coated carbon layer has the appropriate thickness of 3–7 nm, which result in proper balance of the good electrical conductivity and the fast kinetics of diffusion of lithium ions . LTP-OG-10 exhibits better electrochemical performance compared with those using oxalic acid (LTP-O) or glucose (LTP-G) single carbon source. LTP-OG-10 anode delivers the discharge capacity of 112.5 mA h g −1 , 96.8 mA h g −1 , and 54.2 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C, 5 C and 20 C, respectively, much larger than that of LTP-O and LTP-G. Moreover, LTP-OG-10 demonstrated excellent cycling performance, with the capacity retention of 71.1% after 400 cycles at 0.2 C, 22.9% higher than that of LTP-G. The good electrochemical properties of LTP-OG-10 is mainly ascribed to the increase of defects, high-quality and appropriate thickness of carbon layer. Our study reveals that preparing LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @carbon composite using double carbon sources is an efficient approach to enhance its electrochemical properties.

In-situ TiC/Ti titanium matrix composites were successfully fabricated through a novel approach, utilizing the reaction of graphene and Ti mixture powders in spark plasma sintering . Microstructure, hardness and compressive properties of such composites were investigated. The layered graphene nanosheets as the carbon source were dispersed in the powders, and subsequently formed uniform TiC particles in Ti matrix during the rapid sintering. The resulting TiC particles exhibited the micro- and nano-sized equiaxial structures. Such composites possessed the significantly enhanced hardness and room-temperature compressive strength comparing with the as-cast and as-sintered pure Ti. The ultimate and yield compressive strengths of as-prepared 7.0 vol% TiC incorporated composite respectively reached up to 2.64 GPa and 1.93 GPa, beyond some advanced Ti materials reported to date. In-situ micro- and nano-sized TiC particles were believed to be beneficial to harden and strengthen Ti matrix. The relevant strengthening mechanisms of such composites were discussed.

The ultrahigh piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ≥ 1000 pC/N) exhibited by piezoelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O 3 (PZT) ceramics not only captivates researchers but also holds considerable practical value across various applications. While significant progress has been made in enhancing piezoelectricity of PZT-based ceramics, novel mechanisms need to be proposed to explain the piezoelectric behavior of new systems with ultrahigh d 33 . In this study, we initially employ LiNbO 3 as an additive to enhance the piezoelectric properties of the Pb(Ni 1 / 3 Nb 2 / 3 )O 3 –PbZrO 3 –PbTiO 3 ceramics. and the optimal performance is achieved by incorporating 1.5 mol% of LiNbO 3 into the system, resulting in an ultrahigh d 33 ∼1178 pC/N ( d 33 * ∼1560 p.m./V (@ E = 5 kV/cm)). The corresponding mechanism for this superior piezoelectric response involves the AB-site co-doping effect, especially the ( Li Pb ′ − Nb Zr / Ti ∙ ) defect dipoles formed by the introduction of LiNbO 3 . In particular, the addition of LiNbO 3 leads to a more uniform distribution of domain sizes, thereby further enhancing the ultrahigh piezoelectricity. These findings pave the way for a deeper under-standing of the origin of ultrahigh piezoelectric properties and make substantial contributions to the advancement of piezoelectric materials for practical applications in electromechanical devices.

Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 (M=Nb, Ta) oxides were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The compounds adopt 6-layer perovskite-related structure (referred to as 6C) in P 3 ̅ m 1, analogous to Ba 6 Na 2 Nb 2 P 2 O 17 . The 6C structure consists of cubic ( c ) BaO 3 layers and pseudo-cubic ( c' ) oxygen-vacancy-ordered BaO 2 layers stacked according to a sequence of c'ccccc . Ordering of oxygen vacancies in oxygen-deficient c' -BaO 2 layers leads to two successive isolated tetrahedral layers, which stabilize an unusual +5 oxidation state for Mn cations in the tetrahedral sites. In Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 , these two Mn 5+ O 4 layers are sandwiched by two single octahedral NaO 6 layers that connected by two successive octahedral NbO 6 layers, forming alternative 2:1-ordered (Ba 3 NaM 2 O 9 ) - and (Ba 3 NaMn 2 O 8 ) + perovskite-like units along the stacking direction. The Mn 5+ O 4 tetrahedral units act as a turquoise chromophore in Ba 6 Na 2 M 2 Mn 2 O 17 , making these two compounds potential turquoise-coloring materials for the cool pigments .

Room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors remain one of the most puzzling issues to be solved in tens of years. Nowadays, 2D ferromagnetic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) nanosheets attract continuous interest due to their exceptional electronic structure and properties. Here, it is identified that semiconducting 2H-phase MoTe 2 few/mono-layer mixed nanosheets present a room temperature ferromagnetic property with Curie temperature above 400 K, although the MoTe 2 bulk counterpart shows diamagnetic properties. The origin of such observed room temperature ferromagnetism is attributed to the combination of their structural defects including Te vacancies, disorders, and amorphous imperfections and edge-states caused by reduced dimensionality. Moreover, a distinct enhancement of ferromagnetic properties at room temperature is revealed by a non-magnetic Ta doping strategy. Such structural defects and edge-states modulated ferromagnetism offers a feasible strategy to search for more robust room temperature ferromagnetic TMDCs nanosheets, which is essential to explore novel electronic and spintronic devices where both carrier charge and spin freedom can be controlled.

A super solid electrolyte of Ba-substituted Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 is designed and fabricated to achieve high electrochemical stability. Among the Ba-substituted Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 solid electrolytes, the composition of Li 9.4 Ba 0.3 GeP 2 S 12 exhibits the highest ionic conductivity of 7.04 × 10 − 4 S cm − 1 with an activation energy of 28.27 kJ mol − 1 at 25 °C. The electrochemical window of Li 9.4 Ba 0.3 GeP 2 S 12 is between 0 and 6 V (vs. Li), which is higher than the typical 5 V window of Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 . As compared with Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 , Li 9.4 Ba 0.3 GeP 2 S 12 demonstrates a significantly reduced polarization and a better cycle stability though its ionic conductivity is slightly lower than that of the former. The electrochemical stability of Ba-substituted Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 can be attributed to the structural stability resulting from the stable interaction between Ba 2 + and S 2 − in the structure.

Transparent nanoceramics embedded with highly dense crystalline domains are promising for applications in missile guidance, infrared night vision, and laser and nuclear radiation detection. Unfortunately, current nanoceramics are strictly constrained by the stringent construction procedures such as super-high pressure and containerless processing. Here, a pressureless crystallization engineering strategy in glass for elaboration of transparent nanoceramics and fibers is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By intentional creation of a sharp contrast between nucleation and growth rates, the crystal growth rate during glass crystallization can be significantly suppressed. Importantly, this unique phase-transition habit enables the achievement of transparent nanoceramics and even smooth fibers with extremely tiny crystalline size (≈20 nm) and high crystallinity (≈97%) under atmospheric pressure. This allows the generation of an attractive nonlinear optical response such as dynamic optical filtering and luminescence in the mid-infrared waveband of 4300–4950 nm. These findings highlight that the strategy to switch the phase-transition habit of glass into the unconventional crystallization regime may provide new opportunities for the creation of next-generation nanoceramics and fibers.

The effect of calcination temperature on the coating layer and the phase of the alloy matrix is the main problem to improve the heat treatment process of SMCs and obtain excellent magnetic properties . In this study, FeNiMo@Al 2 O 3 powders which were coated by sol-gel and calcined at 900–1300 °C were prepared and these powders were pressed into SMCs. The results showed that the surface of the powder was uniformly coated with Al 2 O 3 . As the heat treatment temperature increases, the phase of the coating changed from AlOOH to γ-Al 2 O 3 , δ-Al 2 O 3 , θ-Al 2 O 3 , and α-Al 2 O 3 . Meanwhile, the new phase γ-Fe, Ni appeared in the alloy matrix. The magnetic permeability of the sample is very stable in the frequency range of 10–500 kHz. The magnetic loss decreases first and then increases, with a minimum at 1100 °C. The permeability and magnetic loss of the sample pressed from the powder obtained by calcination at 1100 °C are 321.78 mw/cm 3 and 87.61 (50 kHz, 100 mT) at the typical industrial application conditions of Iron–Nickel SMCs. The microstructure and the magnetic properties show that the obtained α-Al 2 O 3 have excellent insulation and heat resistance. This resulted in a significant reduction in core losses of FeNiMo SMCs.

5-Fluorouracil surface-imprinted thermosensitive magnetic microspheres were prepared by using Fe 3 O 4 -encapsulating carbon microspheres as cores, N -isopropylacrylamide as thermosentitive monomer, ammonium persulfate as initiator, N , N ′-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinker, and 5-fluorouracil as template molecule. The formation of these hybrid microspheres was verified by field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and dynamic light scattering. The results of the latter measurements show that the as-synthesized microspheres have a hydrodynamic diameter of 326 nm with the lower critical solution temperature of around 43 °C. The obtained microspheres are magnetic and show good potential for controlled loading and release of 5-fluorouracil. Graphical abstract

Single-crystalline chromium doped bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3−xCrxO12, x = 0.0–0.5) nanosheets with exposed {110} facets have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process. The Bi4Ti3−xCrxO12nanosheets possess well-defined tetragonal shapes with landscape dimension of 100–300 nm and thickness of 10–30 nm. The in-plane surfaces of the nanosheets lies on {001}, and the side surfaces are (110) and (10). Extension of the light absorption from the ultraviolet region to the visible-light region arises from the Cr 2p levels confirmed by XPS spectra. The Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheets with high stability showed the highest photocatalytic performance of H2 evolution from water under visible-light irradiation. Furthermore, the heterostructures by using the NiOx nanoparticles tightly coupled on the surface of Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheets, exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the decrease in the recombination rate of the photoinduced electrons and holes, demonstrating that NiOx/Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheet is a promising candidate as a visible light photocatalyst.
