The catalytic effect of zinc sulfide (ZnS) on the transformation of polysulfides (Li 2 S 8 ) to lithium sulfide (Li 2 S) has been proven by the enhancement in the rate performance of lithium-sulfur (Li–S) batteries incorporating ZnS particles into the cathode. Accordingly, the shuttling effect of polysulfide should also be suppressed. However, the expected phenomenon is not found in the Li–S batteries with ZnS particles being added in the cathodes. In order to find the intrinsic mechanism of this phenomenon, detailed catalytic effects of ZnS particles on different polysulfide molecules are investigated. It is shown that ZnS can only enhance the reaction from Li 2 S 4 to Li 2 S and it has almost no catalytic effect on the reaction from Li 2 S 6 to Li 2 S 4 . This is why the shuttle effect of Li 2 S 6 cannot be effectively prohibited. This mechanism is further verified via combining ZnS particles with S–C@PVA yolk-shell particles containing sulfur (S) and carbon black (C) as the core and PVA as the shell. Although the reaction from Li 2 S 6 to Li 2 S 4 cannot be directly catalysed by ZnS particles, it can still be enhanced when ZnS particles are distributed within the S–C@PVA yolk-shell structure (S–C–ZnS@PVA) because the reaction speed from the Li 2 S 4 to Li 2 S is accelerated. The fast consumption of Li 2 S 4 will result in the enhancement of the reaction from Li 2 S 6 to Li 2 S 4 , which will largely reduce the diffusion of Li 2 S 6 out of the PVA shell. While if ZnS particles are located outside the S–C@PVA yolk-shell structure (S–C@PVA-ZnS), large amount of Li 2 S 6 can still diffuse out of the PVA shell and enter into the electrolyte since the transformation from is Li 2 S 6 to Li 2 S 4 relatively low. Both the rate performance and cycle stability of the batteries with S–C–ZnS@PVA cathodes are higher than those with S–C@PVA-ZnS ones. These results will give a guidance for the preparation of Li–S battery with high performance.

Developing a highly effective solar-to-H 2 conversion system is a promising strategy for carbon neutrality. Here, we report a chemically bonded Z-scheme photocatalyst by specifically linking the conduction band site of ZnIn 2 S 4 with the valence band site of Mn 0.3 Cd 0.7 S 1-x . Deviates from the typical van der Waals interactions between two semiconductors, the in-built robust binding force (Mn-S bond) and charge transfer channel facilitates the electron mobility, minimizes detrimental deep charge trapping, and prolongs the active charge lifetime from 983 ps to 4250 ps. The sulfur vacancies in Mn 0.3 Cd 0.7 S 1-x are partially refilled by atoms of the same element in ZnIn 2 S 4 during the in-situ formation of heterojunctions, which promotes and solidates the establishment of interfacial chemical bonds. The optimal photocatalyst achieves a high quantum efficiency of 32.71 % at 420 nm. This study offers a new insight into the development of Z-Scheme heterojunctions via a synergistic approach involving doping, vacancy filling and strong interfacial chemical bonds.

Microporous and mesoporous silicalite-1 (S-1) and titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) zeolite supported molybdenum (Mo) catalysts were synthesized and applied in the transesterification of Jatropha seed oil (JO) to produce biodiesel. Various analytical results have revealed that the MoO 3 species are highly dispersed on their surface without destroying the zeolite framework and pore structure. Compared with the mesoporous 7Mo/mesoporous S-1 and 7Mo/mesoporous TS-1 catalysts, the microporous 7Mo/S-1 and 7Mo/TS-1 catalysts exhibit high Mo species contents and surface acidity, indicating that Mo species can enter the inner surface of mesoporous zeolites. However, the Mo species on the outer surface of catalysts are only activity centers owing to the accessibility between the Mo species and JO. Therefore, compared with the low activity of the S-1 and TS-1 catalysts, the 7Mo/S-1 catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic performance, with a JO conversion of 95.7% and a biodiesel selectivity of 99.9%. Finally, 7Mo/S-1 demonstrated good catalytic stability, regeneration performance and broad substrate versatility, and the fuel properties of the as-synthesized biodiesel conformed to the current international standard. The influence of the pore structure and Mo species on the catalytic activity has been clarified, providing a theoretical and practical foundation for developing efficient heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production.

Extraction strategy is designed for the pretreatment of low contents of aromatic N- and S-containing compounds (ANSCs) in environmental waters prior to chromatographic analysis . To enrich studied ANSCs effectively, poly (9-vinylanthracene/4-vinylphenylboronic acid- co -ethylene dimethacrylate/divinylbenzene) polymeric monolithic sorbent were facilely fabricated using the one-step free radical polymerization . Various technologies were employed to investigate the structure and morphology of the resultant monolith. Combining with solid-phase microextraction format, the sorbent exhibited satisfying concentrated performance for ANSCs through multiply interactions under the optimized conditions. After desorption with eluent , the retained analytes were analyzed by HPLC. Results showed that the extraction efficiencies ranged from 51.6 to 93.2%. The linear ranges and limits of detection were 0.01–150 μg/L and 0.63–2.64 ng/L, respectively. Furthermore, the precisions were all below 10%.

Some vital challenges are main obstacles for further development of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries such as low capacity and poor cycle stability resulted from polysulfide shuttling behavior, the physical/chemical entrapment is regarded as an effective method to inhibit and catalyze polysulfides. Herein we design a cross-linked framework of reduced graphene oxide anchored with Cu2−xSe nanoparticles (Cu2−xSe@rGO) by building an electrolyte/Cu2−xSe/graphene triple-phase interface to be a high-efficiency electrocatalyst for Li–S batteries. Importantly, this three-dimensional conductive network possesses a large specific surface area with high ion transport capability, meanwhile providing strong physical constraint for efficient adsorption of soluble polysulfides. Further, this triple-phase catalytic interface provides strong chemical adsorption and abundant Cu2−xSe nanoparticle sulfiphilic active sites, effectively inhibiting the dissolution of polysulfides and guaranteeing the efficient polysulfide adsorption catalysis as well as rapidly uniform Li2S nucleation. Consequently, with the Cu2−xSe@rGO separator, a lower capacity decay rate about 0.059% per cycle after 500 cycles at 2 C is obtained. What's more, with a higher areal sulfur loading of 3.0 mg cm−2, the capacity is still maintained at 805 mAh g−1 over 100 cycles. Therefore, this work will open new avenue to construct 2D transition metal selenide for superior performance Li–S batteries.

N,S-co-doped carbons were synthesized through the calcination of sulfur-modified chitosan for the first time, and utilized as persulfate activators for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) remediation in water. The chitosan and sulfonyl chloride underwent one-step sulfonylation reaction to generate S-modified chitosan. The catalyst NSC-3 showed both excellent adsorption and catalytic oxidation efficiency, corresponding 98.62% removal and 81.34% mineralization rate within 90 min. The rate constant ( k obs ) was up to 0.0578 min −1 , with 75.60-folders higher than that of sulfur-free catalyst NC (7.6580 ×10 −4 min −1 ). The synergy of N and S contributed to the improvement of removal efficiency. The adsorption and oxidation performance were highly depended on the S/N atomic ratio. At the S/N ratio of 0.18, the maximum adsorption and oxidation capability were obtained. The NSC-3/PS system exhibited outstanding adaptability at the wide pH range from 3.07 to 9.28, while the inhibitory effect occurred at strong basic conditions (pH = 11.01). The thiophene sulfur and structural defects were identified as the catalytic sites in activating PS. Both radical and non-radical pathways were responsible for degradation process, where 1 O 2 played a major role, SO 4 ·- exerted a minor contribution, and O 2 ·- acts as the precursor for the production of 1 O 2 . Another source of 1 O 2 was assigned to the activation of PS by structure defects . This work indicates that N,S-co-doped carbon at an optimal S/N atomic ratio effectively catalyzes persulfate, and provides an innovative method to construct bifunctional carbon materials of adsorption and oxidization.

Non-stoichiometric W 18 O 49 (WO) prepared by solvothermal method has excellent NIR absorption due to the localized surface plasmon resonance effect caused by oxygen vacancies. This has great potential in the field of using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into organic fuels. In addition, through the amination of CdSe, the one-dimensional/two-dimensional step-scheme (S-scheme) WO/CdSe-diethylenetriamine (WO/CdSe-D) photocatalyst with electron transmission channels driven by visible light to NIR light is constructed by microwave solvothermal method. The LSPR of WO and the synergistic effect of coupling semiconductors to construct S-scheme heterojunctions can improve light utilization and achieve efficient charge carrier transfer efficiency. The optimized photocatalyst of 35%WO/CdSe-D has the best CO 2 reduction performance compared to WO and CdSe-D, and the yield is 25.37 µmol h –1 g –1 . X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to verify the charge transfer path of the S-scheme WO/CdSe-D heterojunction. This work provides a possibility for the application of non-stoichiometric oxides rich in oxygen vacancies in the field of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.

Designing high-performance carbon-based oxygen reduction catalysts using a facile strategy is an attractive research direction in the field of energy conversion and storage. Herein, N/S co-doped carbon was prepared using κ-carrageenan and melamine as precursors, in which melamine can be decomposed into nitrogen-containing gas for realizing nitrogen doping, and the sulfate groups in κ-carrageenan can be converted for sulfur doping. Such an N/S doping strategy enables a carbon catalyst with a large specific surface area, hierarchical porous structure, and rich defective sites to be achieved, displaying a high positive onset potential (Eonset = 0.98 V) and half wave potential (E1/2 = 0.89 V), excellent stability, and methanol tolerance. More importantly, S doping could increase the positive charge density of the carbon adjacent to the nitrogen, which is favorable for enhancing the chemisorption of O2 and weakening the O–O bond, thereby promoting the reaction from O2 to OH− and improving electron transfer. Furthermore, with this catalyst as the air cathode, the assembled aqueous Zn–air battery exhibits a high open-circuit potential of 1.53 V and a remarkable peak power density of 166.05 mW cm−2, outperforming the Pt/C catalyst. This work gives a facile and effective strategy to construct high-performance ORR catalysts with four electron transfer for Zn–air batteries.

Crystallization growth plays a crucial role in influencing the film quality and final photoelectric conversion performance of a kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cell. Herein, an exploration of a two-step selenization strategy to control the growth kinetics of an aqueous solution derived CZTSSe film for high solar cell efficiency is reported. By synergistically exploiting the benefits of high and low temperature selenization in facilitating the CZTSSe phase formation, introducing beneficial point defect states, configuring the interfacial energy band structure, and sustaining excellent surface microstructure, a total-area cell efficiency of 12.5% has been achieved. These results demonstrate the significance of controlling the crystallization growth of CZTSSe to improve the device performance. The high cell performance achieved here is comparable to that of hydrazine or dimethyl sulfoxide solution-based cells and thus would help facilitate the development of CZTSSe solar cells toward more diversified film fabrication technologies.

ZnO is widely used as a photocatalyst in industry, however, it is still a challenge to degrade refractory antibiotics in water. In this study, a novel surface-functionalized N,S-doped carbon quantum dot (N,S-CQD) was synthesized and embedded into ZnO for the formation of a new ZnO/N,S-CQDs hybrid nanoflower via one-pot hydrothermal process. The as-prepared ZnO/N,S-CQDs showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible and near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation, in which 72.8% of MG was decomposed after 180 min under NIR light. In addition, approximately 92.9% and 85.8% of ciprofloxacin (CIP) were degraded by ZnO/N,S-CQDs under simulated sunlight for 20 min and natural sunlight for 50 min, respectively. Furthermore, the mechanism was investigated and the results show that the surface functionalization, electron transfer, up-converted luminescence properties of N,S-CQDs, together with the highly reactive facets of ZnO nanoflowers, made great contributions to the enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO/N,S-CQDs. Additionally, the results of active species trapping experiments indicated that the hydroxide free radicals, holes and superoxide radical anions all played certain roles in the photocatalytic reaction. Finally, ZnO/N,S-CQDs was employed for photodegradation of antibiotics in actual water, the degradation efficiency of antibiotics still remained above 60% after 120 min. We believe that the ZnO/N,S-CQDs nanoflower is a promising photocatalyst for the degradation of refractory antibiotics under sunlight irradiation. The relatively low cost and excellent photocatalytic performance of ZnO/N,S-CQDs is beneficial for industrial applications.

The existence of various detrimental defects inside the absorber layer is a major obstacle limiting the performance of kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells. Cationic substitution is a viable strategy for overcoming this challenge and has drawn tremendous research attention. In this work, a dual-cation substituted CZTSSe involving Ag and Ti to separately occupy partial Cu and Sn lattice sites is proposed. Under 6% Ag and 1% Ti dual-cation substitution, the champion CZTSSe device delivers a highly interesting efficiency of 12.73%, accompanied by an outstanding VOC of 530 mV. Further investigation demonstrates that Ag introduction can improve the density and crystallinity of CZTSSe thin films while decreasing the concentration of CuZn acceptor defects. Further Ti substitution can effectively eliminate fine grains and reduce the defect density of CuSn and [2CuZn + SnZn] defects, as well as the core level defects. This work explores the synergistic effect of Ag, Ti dual-cation substitution in CZTSSe solar cells for the first time, and the clarified device performance improvement mechanism opens up promising possibilities for the bright development of CZTSSe thin-film photovoltaic technology.
