In this work, potassium acetate (KAc) was added during the synthesis of a Zn-Fe based metal-organic framework (Fe-ZIF-8) to increase the fixed amount of Fe while simultaneously enhancing the number of pores. Electrospinning was utilized to embed KAc-modified Fe-ZIF-8 (Fe-ZIF-8-Ac) into the polyacrylonitrile nanofiber mesh, to obtain a network composite (Fe@NC-Ac) with hierarchical porous structure. Fe@NC-Ac was co-pyrolyzed with thiourea , resulting in Fe, N, S co-doped carbon electrocatalyst . The electrochemical tests indicated that the prepared catalyst displayed relatively remarkable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity, with an onset potential (E onset ) of 1.08 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) and a half-wave potential (E 1/2 ) of 0.94 V, both higher than those of the commercial Pt/C (E onset = 0.95 V and E 1/2 = 0.84 V), respectively. Assembled into Zn-air batteries, the optimized catalyst exhibited higher open circuit voltage (1.698 V) and peak power density (90 mW cm −2 ) than those of the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C (1.402 V and 80 mW cm −2 ), respectively. This work provided a straightforward manufacturing strategy for the design of hierarchical porous carbon-based ORR catalysts with desirable performance.

Ruthenium dioxide is the most promising alternative to the prevailing but expensive iridium-based catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzers. However, the under-coordinated lattice oxygen of ruthenium dioxide is prone to over-oxidation, and oxygen vacancies are formed at high oxidation potentials under acidic corrosive conditions. Consequently, ruthenium atoms adjacent to oxygen vacancies are oxidized into soluble high-valence derivatives, causing the collapse of the ruthenium dioxide crystal structure and leading to its poor stability. Here, we report an oxyanion protection strategy to prevent the formation of oxygen vacancies on the ruthenium dioxide surface by forming coordination-saturated lattice oxygen. Combining density functional theory calculations, electrochemical measurements, and a suite of operando spectroscopies, we showcase that barium-anchored sulfate can greatly impede ruthenium loss and extend the lifetime of ruthenium-based catalysts during acidic oxygen evolution, while maintaining the activity. This work paves a new way for designing stable and active anode catalysts toward acidic water splitting.

ZnO/CuInS 2 composites were synthesized by using electrospun ZnO chain structures as a template, along with InCl 3 , CuCl 2 , and thiourea as sources of indium , copper, and sulphur, respectively. The ZnO/CuInS 2 core-shell structure enhances light absorption and carrier transport efficiency. Moreover, ZnO/CuInS 2 exhibits superior light absorption and photocatalytic hydrogen production performance compared to ZnO, with a peak hydrogen production of 4188.24 μmol g −1 . The arrangement of energy levels within the ZnO/CuInS 2 heterojunction is the crucial factor in enhancing photocatalytic properties. Increased electrons distribution near the interface facilitates the transport performance of charge carriers, which accelerates hydrogen production kinetics at the interface, and promotes greater participation of photogenerated electrons and holes in catalytic reactions . Combined with the application of density functional theory, the computational analyses of work function and differential charge support this assertion. This paper introduces a fresh method for creating innovative photocatalysts and grasping the reaction mechanism involved in photocatalytic hydrogen generation .

Interfacing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with fluorescent materials provides more possibilities for constructing of sensory/imaging platforms in biomedical applications. In this work, by harnessing the efficient extraction accompanied modification of CNCs and adjustable optical properties of carbon dots (CDs), we report the constructions and emission wavelength tuning of fluorescent CNCs (F-CNCs) composed of CNC nano-scaffolds and CDs. The as-prepared CNCs are densely decorated with citric acid (CA), which plays the role of carbon source for the in-situ synthesis of CDs on CNCs. For the F-CNCs carrying blue, green, and red emissive CDs, ethylenediamine (EDA), urea, and thiourea are the N or N/S sources. Fingerprints of chemical groups, morphological characters , and redox activities are resolved to elaborate the optical mechanisms of CDs with varying emission colors. The emission wavelength is adjusted by either changing the particle size or introducing new emission centers. Both are primarily achieved via precursor engineering. The F-CNCs reveal quantum yields ( QY s) >22 % and negligible fluorescence quenching (< 6 %) upon continuous excitation as long as 24 h. Benefited from their cell membrane penetration capability, the F-CNCs with different emission wavelengths were challenged for multiplexed cytoplasm imaging.

Entropy engineering strategies provide a broader platform for exploring the behavior of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials and their absorption mechanisms on the microscopic scale. In this work, a novel entropy engineering strategy was developed to improve the EMW absorption properties of MoS2. A hierarchical N-doped carbon nanofiber/MoS2 (NCNF/MS) composite was synthesized using the electrospinning and hydrothermal methods. Then, the conformational entropy of MoS2 was increased by sequentially integrating elements such as W, Se, and Te. Although MoS2 maintains a single 2H-phase structure throughout the entropy increase process, it triggers a series of complex changes at the microscopic level, including lattice distortion, ingenious electronic structure adjustments, and an increase in defect density. These changes provide more possibilities for the EMW interaction with the absorber, which significantly enhances the dielectric behavior of the composites, including conduction and polarization losses. Owing to the unique hierarchical structure and rich defect structure, the obtained entropy-increased NCNF/MWSST exhibits excellent EMW absorption performance. The minimum reflection loss reaches −60.7 dB, and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth is 6.48 GHz, which is improved by almost 584% and 810% compared to NCNF/MS. This study provides a new way to design efficient and high-performance MoS2-based absorbers and provides valuable insights for exploring the entropy-increasing strategies to optimize the EMW absorption properties.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 using solar energy is an effective means to achieve carbon neutrality. However, the photocatalytic efficiency still requires improvements. In this study, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ferroelectric/piezoelectric nanofiber membranes are prepared by electrospinning. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanosheets are assembled in situ on the surface of PVDF based on coordination between F − and Cd 2+ , and then Ag nanoparticles are deposited on CdS. Because of the synergistic effect between localized surface plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles and the built-in electric field of PVDF, the CO 2 photocatalytic reduction efficiency using PVDF/CdS/Ag under visible light irradiation is significantly higher than that of any combination of CdS, CdS/Ag, or PVDF/CdS. Under micro-vibration to simulate air flow, the CO 2 reduction efficiency of PVDF/CdS/Ag is three times higher than that under static conditions, reaching 240.4 µmol g −1 h −1 . The piezoelectric effect caused by micro-vibrations helps prevent the built-in electric field from becoming saturated with carriers and provides a continuous driving force for carrier separation.

2D ferromagnetic semiconductors are key to next-generation spintronic devices in the post-Moore era. The combination of ferromagnetic and optoelectronic properties offers exciting opportunities for advanced multifunctional devices in spin-optoelectronic applications. Herein, the authors synthesize 2D van der Waals (vdW) Co x Sn 1- x S with ferromagnetism and photoresponse through a bottom-up reaction, which has a high yield compared to typical mechanical exfoliation. Ferromagnetic ordering is realized in 2D vdW semiconductor SnS by Co doping at the Sn sites. Magnetic properties are thoroughly studied at different doping concentrations, and first-principles calculations are further performed to reveal the magnetism origin and spin interactions. In particular, a low Gilbert damping of 1.69 × 10 −3 is obtained in vdW Co x Sn 1− x S through ferromagnetic resonance. In addition, photodetectors based on Co x Sn 1− x S quantum dots are demonstrated. These studies establish a promising semiconductor with both ferromagnetic ordering and photoelectric response, which provides unprecedented opportunities in spintronic-photonic integrated applications.

Interfacial polarization had a great impact on the attenuation of electromagnetic wave . To aggrandize interfacial polarization, a strategy of constructing the abundant interfaces was proposed and investigated. Herein, CoNi nanospheres , CoNi@SiO 2 nanospheres and core@shell CoNi 2 S 4 /Co 9 S 8 @SiO 2 @MoS 2 flower-like multicomponent nanocomposites (MCNCs) were elaborately designed and successfully fabricated through a simple continuous hydrothermal process, classical Stöber method and hydrothermal treatment . The obtained results demonstrated that the elaborately constructed abundant interfaces greatly boosted the polarization loss ability, which resulted in the enhanced interfacial polarization. Therefore, the as-prepared CoNi 2 S 4 /Co 9 S 8 @SiO 2 @MoS 2 flower-like MCNCs presented the superior electromagnetic wave absorption properties (EMWAPs) compared to the CoNi and CoNi@SiO 2 precursors. Furthermore, the EMWAPs of CoNi 2 S 4 /Co 9 S 8 @SiO 2 @MoS 2 flower-like MCNCs could also be further improved by optimizing the hydrothermal temperature and filler loading. The obtained CoNi 2 S 4 /Co 9 S 8 @SiO 2 @MoS 2 flower-like MCNCs presented the excellent comprehensive EMWAPs including strong absorption capability, broad absorption bandwidth and thin matching thickness, which could be attributed to the unique structure, excellent interfacial polarization and synergistic effect. Therefore, this finding not only demonstrated that introducing the abundant interfaces was an effective strategy to strengthen interfacial polarization for the promotion of EMWAPs, but also provided an alternative approach to exploit the novel high-efficiency microwave absorbers.

The conjugation of membrane filtration (MF) with advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is being considered as an alternative advanced treatment process for the potable reuse of wastewater. Beyond conventional MF/AOPs conjugation, a new downstream MF process with piezoelectric-channels induced piezo-activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is herein constructed to deal with antiepileptic carbamazepine (CBZ) pollutants through polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (PVDF-M10). Through a MF process, ca. 93.8% CBZ pollutants can be removed under an ultrasonic-assisted piezo-activation PMS, whereas only 18.3% and 60.2% CBZ can be removed by using pure PVDF membrane under the same condition and PVDF-M10 membrane without ultrasonic-assisted piezo-activation. Even after 9-cycles, CBZ removal efficiency was maintained at 56.4% under this MF process. These superior performances are attributed to the piezoelectric exfoliated-MoS 2 nanosheets (E-MoS 2 ) embedded PVDF nanofibers in PVDF-M10 membrane, which lead to rich piezoelectric-channels in the membrane. These piezoelectric-channels not only produced more charges to activate PMS to boost the yield of reactive oxide species (ROS) but also provided an ideal platform for the rapid reaction between CBZ and ROS during MF process. This investigation develops a new MF technique to conjugate piezo-activation of PMS-AOPs for the efficient removal of emerging pollutants for the potable reuse of wastewater.

Epoxy resin (EP) composites are attracting intensive interest for aviation aircraft applications due to superior machinability and high corrosion resistance . However, the poor tribological performance of EP matrix greatly limits its wide application because of highly brittle and weak thermal properties. Herein, we constructed a vine-like MXene@MoS 2 /Carbon nanofiber aerogel (MMoCA) via directed freezing method and cellulose carbonization treatment. The obtained MMoCA exhibited long-range-aligned 3D porous lamellar structure and the MXene@MoS 2 attached to carbon nanofiber surface presented good dispersion inside the aerogel. Such a novel aerogel bestowed the EP composites with outstanding thermal properties through constructing continuous oriented thermal diffusion channels inside the EP matrix. Meanwhile MMoCA reinforced EP composites (MMoCA-EP) showed great potential in tribological application, resulting from the rapid friction heat dissipation and high-quality transfer films during the friction process . This study has a significant guidance to develop high performance polymer composites in the frontier field of tribology .

The industrial application potential of current adsorbents for Au(III) recovery is limited due to their high costs, poor adsorption capacity, and complicated preparation processes. This study introduces a novel approach to address these challenges by synthesizing metal sulfides through a one-step hydrothermal method. The synthesized metal sulfides exhibit exceptional adsorption capacities, exceeding 1500 mg/g. Particularly, petal-shaped CuS demonstrates outstanding performance in extracting gold from complex solutions, including fresh water and simulated leaching liquid of electronic circuit boards. With an impressive adsorption capacity of 2536 mg/g in a 700 mg/L Au (III) spiked solution, CuS achieves a remarkable 90.6% removal efficiency. The adsorption process of CuS on gold can be well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model. Furthermore, CuS is successfully loaded onto sodium alginate (SA) aerogel for large-scale applications. The layered structure of SA overcomes the challenge of solution retrieval, making it a promising material with outstanding removal performance for industrial use. In cases where a high specific surface area does not confer advantages, CuS demonstrates superior performance compared to numerous gold ion adsorbents. This observation motivates us to emphasize the content of active functional groups during the design of gold ion adsorbents. This research significantly advances the field of Au(III) recovery by providing cost-effective and efficient adsorbents with simplified synthesis processes and strong adsorption capabilities.

The cobalt metal–organic framework (Co-MOF) is a kind of crystalline porous material within a periodic network structure, which is formed via the self-assembly of a Co metal center and a bridged organic ligand. In this paper, a Co-MOF was facilely synthesized via an ultrasonic method and applied to enhance the chemiluminescence (CL) emission of the NaIO4-H2O2system. The synthesized Co-MOF was nanosheet-like in nature and stacked in 2–3-micrometer flower shapes. Compared to the NaIO4-H2O2system without a Co-MOF, the CL intensity of the Co-MOF-NaIO4-H2O2system was enhanced about 70 times. This CL mechanism was determined to be a result of the synergistic effects of chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) and electron–hole annihilation (EHA). The Co-MOF not only acted as a catalyst to accelerate the generation of reactive oxygen species in the CL reaction, but also worked as an emitter to further enhance the CL. Based on the Co-MOF-NaIO4-H2O2system, a highly sensitive CL analysis method was established for pyrogallol (PG) detection. Addition of PG into the CL system generated1O2*, which could transfer energy to the Co-MOF and further enhance the CL response. The enhanced CL was linear with the PG concentration. The CL analysis method exhibited a linear range of 1 × 10−4M to 1 × 10−7M, as well as having a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9995 and a limit of detection of (S/N = 3) of 34 nM.Keywords:ultrasonic;Co-MOF;chemiluminescence;pyrogallol detection
