The solid-state batteries have received widespread attention due to their excellent stability and safety, however, the low ionic conductivity and weak interface contact always restricted its performance. In this work, we propose an in situ thermally cross-linked and solidified polymer electrolyte with polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) as scaffold in which succinonitrile (SN) and lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonimide (LiTFSI) were further introduced to improve the ionic conductivity. Herein, the composite gel was served as not only solid-solid interface material but also solid-state electrolyte. Different with conventional polymer gels, the solvent evaporation could not happen for this composite material during the solidification process, and therefore resulting in good interface contact without inside bubbles. We further present the investigation on transport principle of Li+ in the solid-state electrolyte and the effect of molecular chain on ionic conductivity. The conductivity of the solid-state electrolyte can reach 1.76 × 10−4 S cm−1 at room temperature without any assistance of liquid electrolytes, which is attributed to the short molecular chain of PEGDA. Electrochemical window of the solid-state electrolyte can reach 5.2 V after cross-linking treatment. And the lithium-oxygen battery using this solid-state electrolyte can stably cycle for more than 1100 cycles with a current density of 200 mA g−1 and a limit capacity of 200 mAh g−1 at room temperature.

Lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2 ) batteries with high theoretical energy density are well developed over the past decade, as the cycle performance and round-trip efficiency had enhanced prominently. However, there are still several obstacles that need to be tackled before commercial application. Among them, proper cathode structure design with low cost stands as a core problem. A Typical type of gas diffusion layer cathode are usually carbon paper, which is valuableness, meanwhile, cannot fit the application of flexible devices. In this work, non-woven fabrics were applied as basis materials to synthesis Fe 3 C/N-doped carbon tubes gas diffusion layer by a simple carbonization method. The resulting carbon cloth can be used directly as binder-free and current collector-free cathode for Li-O 2 batteries. More than 130 stable cycles were achieved. The composite synthesized in this paper has the possibility for future application in flexible lithium-oxygen batteries and provide a new strategy for the recovery of non-woven fabrics.

The large charge overpotential and poor cycling stability triggered by sluggish Li 2 O 2 oxidation kinetics and severe superoxide-related side reactions greatly restrict the development and application of lithium–oxygen batteries. Finding out high-efficiency catalysts that can effectively facilitate a highly reversible formation/decomposition of lithium peroxide is still a crucial challenge in the field of Li–O 2 batteries. Herein, a soluble catalyst of 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) that can promote highly reversible formation and decomposition of Li 2 O 2 during discharge and charge processes is reported for the first time. During discharge, it can capture and couple two LiO 2 intermediates via its sulfonate and ammonium ions, and induce the intramolecular disproportionation reaction to produce Li 2 O 2 through ionic microenvironment, which not only prompts the solution-phase growth of Li 2 O 2 , but also restricts the reactivity of LiO 2 intermediate, thus significantly alleviating the electrode surface passivation issue and suppressing the superoxide-related side reactions. During charge, it can quickly transport electrons between the electrode and Li 2 O 2 by serving as a new kind of redox mediator (RM), thus greatly facilitating the Li 2 O 2 oxidation kinetics. As a result, the Li–O 2 batteries that incorporate ABTS exhibit outstanding electrochemical performance, low charge overpotential, high discharge capacity, and high cycling stability.

The in-situ H 2 O 2 electrosynthesis by two-electron oxygen reduction reaction employing renewable electricity is a promising alternative to traditional anthraquinone process due to its security, environmental friendliness and excellent cost effectiveness, which requires high-performance, cost-effective and environmental-friendly electrocatalysts . A bamboo-derived O-doped rocky electrocatalyst is developed by facile pyrolysis and acid treatment for high-efficiency electroreduction of O 2 to H 2 O 2 . Three-dimensional interconnected hierarchical pores in rocky electrocatalysts expose abundant electroactive sites and facilitate mass transfer of reaction species. From the results of rotating ring-disk electrode test, a H 2 O 2 selectivity up to 80% and superior electrocatalytic activity of the prepared electrocatalyst are achieved by surface oxygen functionalization induced by acid treatment. At the optimal catalyst loading of 2 mg cm −2 , prominent H 2 O 2 productivity of 1037 mmol g c a t a l y s t − 1 h − 1 with high current efficiency up to 74.1% is achieved at 30 mA cm −2 by air-breathing cathode. Higher H 2 O 2 productivity (1525 mmol g c a t a l y s t − 1 h − 1 ) is yielded by further raising the current density to 50 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the durability test of the cathode through ten consecutive runs demonstrates its great stability for electrocatalytic generation of H 2 O 2 . This work inspires the development of promising biomass-derived electrocatalysts for green and sustainable on-site H 2 O 2 electrosynthesis.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), presenting spatial and temporal control of ROS generation triggered by ultrasound field, has attracted considerable attention in tumor treatment. However, its therapeutic efficacy is severely hindered by the intrinsic hypoxia of solid tumor and the lack of smart design in material band structure. Here in study, fine α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles armored with Pt nanocrystals (α-Fe 2 O 3 @Pt) was investigated as an alternative SDT agent with ingenious bandgap and structural design. The Schottky barrier, due to its unique heterostructure, suppresses the recombination of sono-induced electrons and holes, enabling superior ROS generation. More importantly, the composite nanoparticles may effectively trigger a reoxygenation phenomenon to supply sufficient content of oxygen, favoring the ROS induction under the hypoxic condition and its extra role played for ultrasound imaging. In consequence, α-Fe 2 O 3 @Pt appears to enable effective tumor inhibition with imaging guidance, both in vitro and in vivo. This study has therefore demonstrated a highly potential platform for ultrasound-driven tumor theranostic, which may spark a series of further explorations in therapeutic systems with more rational material design.

The Na–O2 battery system is attracting increasing attention due to its superiority in specific capacity and cost. However, its practical implementation is hindered by many issues, such as high charge–discharge overpotential, limited cycling life, and poor reversibility, all of which result from the mediocre O2 electrode. Herein, to surmount these critical challenges, hierarchical Co3O4@MnCo2O4.5 nanocubes (h-Co3O4@MnCo2O4.5 Ns) with a yolk–shell structure are designed for the first time as the novel O2 electrode. h-Co3O4@MnCo2O4.5 Ns are synthesized from a metal–organic framework via a template-assisted method, which is demonstrated to be helpful in creating a high specific surface area of 130.4 m2 g−1, a hierarchical macro- and mesoporous structure, and synergistic yolk-shelled Co3O4@MnCo2O4.5 active sites. These unique structural properties endow h-Co3O4@MnCo2O4.5 Ns with remarkably enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards both the ORR and OER. The Na–O2 battery based on h-Co3O4@MnCo2O4.5 Ns displays an ultrahigh initial discharge capacity of 8400 mA h g−1, ultralow charge–discharge overpotential of 0.45 V, long cycling life of 135 cycles, and excellent rate capability.

In this study, Fe/Cu bimetal composite was prepared by high-energy ball milling (BM) method for the removal of refractory organics. The BM Fe/Cu bimetal was characterized by SEM-EDS, XRD, and XPS. Evenly distributed Fe and Cu was observed in the EDS mapping. In contrasting experiments, the removal rate of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) by BM Fe/Cu materials was about 10-fold faster than that by chemical substitution deposition (CSD) of Fe/Cu material. Complete 4-CP removal and 66.7% of total organic carbon (TOC) mineralization in the BM Fe/Cu–O 2 system were achieved. Dissolved oxygen plays a crucial role for 4-CP degradation through the in situ generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as H 2 O 2 , ·OH, and via oxygen activation reactions. The predominant reactive radicals were identified to be and ·OH through ESR technique and inhibition experiments. The coexistence of oxidation and reduction of 4-CP in the BM Fe/Cu-O 2 system was proposed. Practitioner points 4-CP removal rate by BM Fe/Cu is 10-fold faster than that by CSD Fe/Cu at the same conditions. Complete 4-CP removal and 66.7% of TOC reduction were achieved. All three ROS including ·OH, , and H 2 O 2 coexisted in the BM Fe/Cu-O 2 system. A harmonious coexistence of oxidation and reduction mechanism was proposed.

The design of a nanoporous cathode for Li–O2 batteries that can achieve high chemical stability and superior electrochemical performance remains a formidable challenge. A novel approach for the fabrication of nanoengineered PdNi alloys directly coated onto Ni nonwoven fabric (PdNi/NiNF) obtained through electrospinning has been proposed. On the basis of the contributions of the porous structure, the prepared metal-based cathodes can exhibit high chemical and mechanical stabilities, high catalytic activity, and high conductivity. In this design, the major side reactions were excluded when compared with popularly used carbon cathodes, and excellent cycling stability (266 cycles) could be achieved. The proposed cathode exhibited a high discharge capacity of 15 700 mA h g−1 at 500 mA g−1, which was 5 times higher than those reported for carbon-free cathodes.

The local crystal sites occupied by Eu3+ in Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+ phosphor were investigated experimentally and theoretically. Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+ was synthesized by high-temperature solid-state method in air. The crystal structure and optical properties of the phosphor were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and photoluminescence, respectively. Two different O2− → Eu3+ CT broad bands with the peaks at 266 and 283 nm in Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+ were detected, indicating the Eu3+ sites occupied Ca2 and Ca1, respectively. The different sharp f–f emission spectra under the excitation of 283 and 266 nm proved that there are two different local lattice environments around Eu3+ existing in Ca5(BO3)3F:1% Eu3+. Environmental factor he, the standard deviation of environmental factor (EFSD) and the bond energy were used to illustrate and explain the site occupancy mechanism of Eu3+ into the host lattice. By comparing the intensity ratios of 5D0 → 7F2 transition to the 5D0 → 7F1 transition, I(5D0/7F2)/I(5D0/7F1) of Eu3+ at Ca2 (7.381) was found to be 2.5 times stronger than that of Eu3+ at Ca1 site (2.933). was calculated to analyze the I(5D0/7F2)/I(5D0/7F1) value. On the basis of the bond valence model, a bond-energy method was used to study the occupancy of the Eu ion, which indicated that the preferential sites of Eu ion occupancy in the Ca5(BO3)3F are the Ca2 and Ca1 sites. All three theoretical calculation results are consistent with each other.

Photocatalytic degradation is an effective technology for degrading water pollution that plays a significant role in environmental remediation. Ternary 2D ternary V-VI-VIIA semiconductors are ideal candidates for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants due to effective light absorption and high charge carrier mobility. In this work, high-quality SbSeI crystals were prepared using the chemical vapor transport (CVT) method and their photocatalytic degradation performance for multiple pollutants was studied. SbSeI exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance in the degradation of potassium dichromate (Cr (VI)), rhodamine B (RhB), tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) and methyl orange (MO). More than 98% of Cr (VI) and RhB can be removed after irradiation with an Xe lamp for 10 min and 40 min, respectively. The capture experiments and electron spin resonance results indicated that · O 2 − plays a major role in reducing Cr (VI), while h + plays a primary role in the degradation of MO, RhB and TC-HCl. Interestingly, the degradation rate of Cr (VI) is 1.3 times higher than that of a single pollutant system, and the degradation rate of RhB is 1.6 times higher, due to the enhanced separation and utilization of holes and electrons. The results demonstrate that SbSeI is a potential photocatalytic degradation material.

Selective catalytic reduction of NO using CO (CO-SCR) is a promising technology for the purification of NO in the flue gas. However, the presence of O 2 significantly inhibits the activity of the CO-SCR catalyst. Herein, we synthesize a hollow Mn-doped CeO 2 @Co 3 O 4 catalyst (Mn-CeO 2 @Co 3 O 4 ), which achieved 82% NO conversion, 100% CO conversion, and 78% N 2 selectivity under 5 vol% O 2 at 200 °C, superior to those of CeO 2 @Co 3 O 4 and Co 3 O 4 @CeO 2 catalysts. The characterization results indicate that the strong electronic interaction at the heterointerfaces between Co 3 O 4 and CeO 2 plays a crucial role in promoting selective adsorption of NO. Furthermore, the Mn doping into the Co 3 O 4 lattice of the catalyst facilitates the conversion of N 2 O intermediates, thereby enhancing the overall activity. This research provides a new strategy for the design and synthesis of CO-SCR catalysts.

Bifunctionalized NH2-UiO-66-CF3 nanofillers were successfully prepared by grafting - CF3 on NH2-UiO-66 via aldehyde-amine condensation reaction and applied to the preparation of 6FDA-ODA/NH2-UiO-66-CF3 mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The successful introduction of -NH2 and -CF3 groups was verified by FT-IR, XRD, and XPS characterization, and the integrity of the crystal structure was ensured. Due to the presence of hydrogen bonding, NH2-UiO-66-CF3 showed good interfacial compatibility with the polymer matrix. Due to the introduction of the - CF3 group, the MMMs exhibited excellent thermal stability (T10% > 500°C, Tg = 300°C–305°C), hydrophobicity (contact angle of 92.96–97.71), and mechanical properties (tensile strength of 74–85 MPa). The gas separation performance tests showed that the MMMs exhibited significantly improved gas permeability and selectivity compared to the pure 6FDA-ODA membranes, which was attributed to the fact that the -NH2 and -CF3 groups provided more adsorption sites for gases. In particular, the PI/NUF(10) MMMs showed the best performance, with permeabilities of 42.71, 9.22, and 92.79 Barrer for CO2, O2, and He, respectively, which were 248%, 213%, and 173% higher than those of the pure membranes. Meanwhile, the selectivities of CO2/N2, O2/N2 and He/N2 were improved by 37%, 24%, and 8%, respectively. Close to the Robeson upper limit, demonstrating excellent gas separation potential.
