Radiocobalt (e.g., 58 Co and 60 Co), a critical neutron-activated corrosion product in the nuclear industry, poses great challenges due to high toxicity. Effective removal of radioactive Co 2+ from complex environments is significantly urgent. Metal sulfide ion exchangers (MSIEs) are promising adsorbents; however, limited research has focused on Co 2+ removal, especially from seawater and real-world radioactive waste. Herein, a layered K 2 Cu 2 Sn 2 S 6 (CTS-1) was reported for the efficient capture of Co 2+ . The charge-balancing K + ions are exchangeable, endowing CTS-1 with Co 2+ capture ability via an ion exchange mechanism. This mechanism leads to the releasing K + into solution and concurrently immobilizing Co 2+ , which was confirmed macroscopically and microscopically. CTS-1 exhibited Langmuir maximum adsorption capacities of 33.96 and 20.72 mg/g in deionized water and seawater at 25 °C, respectively; the overall adsorption kinetics were similar in both matrices. CTS-1 displayed excellent pH durability with >99 % removal of Co 2+ at pH 4–8 and high selectivity for Co 2+ in various natural matrices. Impressively, in seawater ( C 0 Co = 5 mg/L), CTS-1 achieved 97.38 % of Co 2+ removal with a distribution coefficient ( K d ) up to 3.817 × 10 4 mL/g, surpassing many existing adsorbents. Furthermore, CTS-1 exhibited radiation resistance; its structure and adsorption performance remained largely unchanged after a gamma radiation dose of 200 kGy. CTS-1 demonstrated the ability to remove nearly 99 % of radiocobalt from real-world radioactive wastewater, while also showing removal efficiency for other radionuclides like 51 Cr and 58 Mn. Overall, this work provides a highly promising material to tackle radiocobalt contamination in radioactive waste, greatly promoting environmental protection and safety for the radioactive industry.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising for large-scale energy storage due to their high cost-effectiveness and safety. Alloy anodes exhibit significantly higher specific capacities compared to those of carbonaceous anode materials, holding great promise for enhancing the energy density of SIBs. However, their practical application is severely hindered by substantial volume expansion, sluggish reaction kinetics, and continuous fracture reformation of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Here, a multifunctional composite binder system was designed for the Sn anode, which was composed of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), sodium alginate (SA), and sodium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NaTFSI). The PEO-SA-NaTFSI (PSN) binder integrates ternary synergistic functions: robust adhesion between the active material and current collector, enhanced Na+ transport kinetics, and formation of a stable NaF-rich SEI. Therefore, the Sn-PSN anode achieves an outstanding sodium storage performance with a high capacity of 583.4 mA h g–1 at a current density of 10 A g–1 and 77% capacity retention after 1500 cycles. In addition, the Sn-PSN||Na3V2(PO4)3 full battery can maintain 81% capacity after 200 cycles with an electrode energy density of 169.0 W h kg–1. This work provides a multifunctional binder design strategy with broad application prospects for high-performance anodes of SIBs.

Co3Sn2S2 (CSS) possesses robust surface states and high conductivity derived from Co atoms with Weyl points located only 60 meV above the Fermi level (Ef), revealing the probability of tuning the electronic band structure of CSS by doping with transition metal atoms. Here, Fe, Ni, and Cu atoms have been successfully incorporated into CSS, which turns out that the Fe0.1–CSS possesses better activity than CSS and IrO2 with an overpotential of 298 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm–2 and a Tafel slope of 358.3 mV dec–1 in 1 M KOH. The Fe0.1–CSS also shows better activity and stability than IrO2 as an anode for the anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer in 1 M KOH. Besides, the density functional theory results indicate that the band structure of CSS is adjusted by the incorporation of transition metal atoms, which is related to the regulation of Ef and thus the variation in electrolytic performance. Our findings provide a strategy to further engineer the activity of a topological semimetal, which provides a direction toward material design for catalysis and beyond.

Ternary copper-based Cu 3 SbSe 4 compound has emerged as a promising thermoelectric material. However, its practical application is limited by relatively low thermoelectric performance, primarily due to inferior electrical properties. In this work, the Cu 3 SbSe 4 -based composites with incorporated 2D MXenes ( i.e. , Ti 3 C 2 T x ) were synthesized by combining mechanical alloying with spark plasma sintering technique. The introduction of 2D Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets significantly enhanced the Seebeck coefficient, which is ascribed to the energy-dependent carrier scattering. Resultantly, an optimized PF ~ 1.1 mWm −1 K −2 can be realized in the bulk composite with x = 1.5. All composite samples exhibited low thermal conductivity in high temperature, attributed to enhanced interfacial phonon scattering. As a result, the best ZT value of 0.59 at 623 K is obtained for the bulk Cu 3 Sb 0.98 Sn 0.02 Se 4 /1.5 vol % Ti 3 C 2 T x composite, which increases by 31% compared with that of the matrix. This study demonstrates that incorporation of 2D MXenes into ternary copper-based compounds is an effective strategy to enhance their TE performance.

The Sn–Pb mixed perovskite, renowned for its narrow band gap and exceptional photoelectric properties, has garnered significant attention in photodetection, particularly as a potential alternative to near-infrared materials. However, the photodetector often suffers from unfavorable energy band arrangements at the heterogeneous interface between the perovskite and the electrode, which seriously hinder the further improvement of device performance. Here, a broadband, high-performance photodetector based on the Sn–Pb mixed perovskite has been achieved through fine-tuning of the energy band alignment at the perovskite/electrode interface. The resultant photodetector demonstrates an impressive broadband response spanning 367 to 1200 nm. At 395 nm, it achieves remarkable metrics: an ultra-high responsivity of 1.2 × 103 A W−1 and an outstanding detectivity of 4.4 × 1013 Jones, accompanied by a fast rise/fall time of 2.4 ms/5.4 ms. In particular, the sub-bandgap states of the Sn–Pb mixed perovskite enable the photoresponse beyond the bandgap limit. At 1200 nm, its responsivity and detectivity reach leading levels of 24.73 A W−1 and 1.01 × 1012 Jones, respectively. Moreover, it exhibits exceptional flexibility, enduring over 500 bending cycles without encapsulation while maintaining a decent photoelectric response. These findings underscore the critical role of optimizing interface contact in realizing high-performance, broadband perovskite photodetectors.

Yarn-woven triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have greatly advanced wearable sensor technology, but their limited sensitivity and stability hinder broad adoption. To address these limitations, Poly(VDF-TrFE) and P(olyadiohexylenediamine (PA66)-based nanofibers coaxial yarns (NCYs) combining coaxial conjugated electrospinning and online conductive adhesive coating are developed. The integration of these NCYs led to enhanced TENGs (NCY-TENGs), notable for their flexibility, stretchability, and improved sensitivity, which is ideal for capturing body motion signals. One significant application of this technology is the fabrication of smart insoles from NCY-TENG plain-woven fabrics. These insoles are highly sensitive and possess antibacterial, breathable, and washable properties, making them ideal for real-time gait monitoring in patients with diabetic foot conditions. The NCY-TENGs and their derivatives show immense potential for a variety of wearable electronic devices, representing a considerable advancement in the field of wearable sensors.

Single-element phosphorus is an emerging class of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials that has attracted extensive attention, particularly as a photocatalyst material. However, the inherent instability of elemental phosphorus causes insufficient surface activity for photocatalytic performance. In this study, the self-adsorption and clustering of metal ions on the surface of 2D materials were exploited to form Ag nanoparticle (NP)-modified black phosphorus (BP-Ag) heterostructures, which passivated the lone-pair electrons of phosphorus, promoted charge separation, and enhanced the photocatalytic activity. Consequently, the photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange with BP-Ag was 99.05%, which was 1.87 times higher than that of pure black phosphorus. Within 3 h, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution efficiency of BP modified by Ag NPs was about 20 times that of BP. In addition, the decomposition of dye molecules was investigated using active substances, such as hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, and holes. In conclusion, the modification of metal NPs can greatly improve the stability and photocatalytic performance of single-element phosphorus materials, which has good application prospects for purifying dye wastewater and hydrogen evolution.

As the energy density of lithium-ion batteries continues to increase, the performance requirements for separators have become more stringent. Traditional polyolefin separators offer advantages such as low cost and excellent chemical stability. But they suffer from poor electrolyte wettability, thermal stability, and high interfacial resistance, which hinder the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries. To address these issues, this study introduces a blending coating method using titanium nitride and boron nitride particles to enhance the overall performance of polypropylene separators. The TiN/BN@PP-15 separator demonstrates superior wettability, thermal stability, and electrochemical performance. Under a high discharge rate of 5C, it achieves an initial discharge capacity of 130.7 mAh g −1 . Additionally, batteries assembled with the TiN/BN@PP-15 separator exhibit the lowest interfacial resistance of 79.7 Ω, a high ionic conductivity of 0.466 mS cm −1 , and a lithium-ion diffusion coefficient of 11.7 × 10 −14 cm 2 s −1 . These results indicate that the co-blending coating of TiN and BN particles not only improves the physicochemical properties of PP separators but also ensures high discharge capacity and cycling stability under high-rate conditions, providing reliable technical support for high energy density and high rate energy storage systems.

In this work, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) carbide insert was prepared by a six-anvil high-pressure apparatus at 1500 °C and 5.5 GPa, integrated sintering with different alloy substrates of the Co content. This work studied the effects of different Co content in alloy substrates on phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the PcBN carbide insert. The result shows that the binder reacted with cBN particles to produce AlN, AlCo, TiB 2 , W 2 B, and Co 2 B. At the same time, transgranular fracture is wide spread in the sintered body. The flexural strength and hardness of the PcBN carbide insert first increase and then fall. When the alloy substrate is WC-11.5 wt% Co, the PcBN carbide insert shows excellent comprehensive performance, with the flexural strength and hardness reaching 1675.67 MPa and 4100.51 Hv, respectively. Through integrated sintering, Co in the alloy substrate diffused and reacted with the binder in the cBN network at the bonding interface, forming a transition area that significantly improves the bonding strength.

Unravelling the mechanism of electronic state evolution is ultimately important when attempting to functionalize two dimensional (2D) materials through electronic state regulation. However, there is still a lack of understanding in how the individual local functionalized regions could influence the entire 2D-layered property. Herein, we report the observation of surface electronic behavior during these functionalization process when utilizing the electron-deficient aluminium ion (Al 3+ ) to passivate 2D black phosphorus (BP). Interestingly, the local electron density change in response to a certain functionalization can induce the periodic electron density gradient via inductive integration effect and spread over the entire 2D surface layer. Such 2D coupling effect is evidently supported by the combined investigation of in-situ / ex-situ experimental analysis and theoretical calculation, upon the model Al 3+ -BP modulating process. This work discloses the electron-level relationship between the individual and the whole during the functionalization process and therefore provides a direction for precise manipulation of electronic behavior in functionalized 2D materials.

Zero-dimensional (0D) metal halides, which feature discrete metal halide octahedra interspersed with large organoammonium cations, are the building blocks of halide perovskites. The optical properties of these materials make them promising candidates in light-emitting devices. However, developing their general design principles remains challenging. Here we report an antisolvent incorporation approach that transforms a broad range of two-dimensional tin iodide perovskites into 0D structures. This approach accommodates diverse organic cations and antisolvent molecules and is extendable to germanium and lead analogues. We show that enhancing the structural rigidity in Sn-based octahedra—modulated by organic packing—increases the radiative recombination rate while decreasing the non-radiative recombination rate, achieving near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield. Ge- and Sn-based structures exhibit large Stokes shifts and microsecond-scale triplet lifetimes due to localized excited states, while their Pb-based counterpart shows faster recombination via triplet–singlet mixing, supported by theoretical calculations. This work offers a versatile synthetic platform for 0D metal halides and deepens our current understanding of excited-state dynamics in halide perovskites.

Fluoride ion batteries (FIBs) have garnered significant attention due to their ultrahigh theoretical energy density, dendrite-free safety, and resource abundance. Although some anion acceptors have been proposed to address the insolubility of inorganic fluoride salts, the difficulty in dissociating fluoride ions from acceptors results in short lifespan and extremely low specific capacity of FIBs. Here, a fluoride ion battery is demonstrated with unprecedented long life and ultrahigh specific capacity through the design of an acceptor-multi-F state electrolyte. The high Lewis acidity of triphenylantimony chloride (TSbCl) as a novel anion acceptor in electrolyte facilitates the complete dissociation of CsF, and the resulting TSbCl-F complex can further interact with fluoride ions to form the acceptor-multi-F states. This strategy combines the high dissociation capability for fluoride salts with the minimal thermodynamic barriers for releasing fluoride ions at electrode-electrolyte interface. This electrolyte design endows FIBs with durable reversible fluorination/defluorination reaction (3700 cycles with high coulombic efficiency of 99.5% and small voltage polarization of 30 mV) and ultrahigh reversible capacity (580 mAh g −1 after 40 cycles at 100 mA g −1 ). The high-output voltage FIBs of CuF 2 //Li configuration (with discharge plateau of 2.9 V) and larger-sized pouch-type FIBs of CuF 2 //Sn+SnF 2 configuration (with reversible capacity of 530 mAh g −1 ) are demonstrated.
