An environmental-friendly and sustainable carbon-based host is one of the most competitive strategies for achieving high loading and practicality of Li–S batteries. However, the polysulfide conversion reaction kinetics is still limited by the nonuniform or monofunctional catalyst configuration in the carbon host. In this work, we propose a catalysis mode based on “relay-type” co-operation by adjacent dual-metal single atoms for high-rate and durable Li–S batteries. A discarded sericin fabric-derived porous N-doped carbon with a stacked schistose structure is prepared as the high-loading sulfur (84 wt %) host by a facile ionothermal method, which further enables the uniform anchoring of Fe/Co dual-metal single atoms. This multifunctional host enables superior lithiophilic–sulfiphilic and electrocatalytic capabilities contributed by the “relay-type” single-atom modulation effects on different conversion stages of liquid polysulfides and solid Li2S2/Li2S, leading to the suppression of the “shuttle effect”, alleviation of nucleation and decomposition barriers of Li2Sx, and acceleration of polysulfide conversion kinetics. The corresponding Li–S batteries exhibit a high specific capacity of 1399.0 mA h g–1, high-rate performance up to 10 C, and excellent cycling stability over 1000 cycles. They can also endure the high sulfur loading of 8.5 mg cm–2 and the lean electrolyte condition and yield an areal capacity as high as 8.6 mA h cm–2. This work evidentially demonstrates the potential of waste biomass reutilization coupled with the design of a single-atom system for practical Li–S batteries with high energy density.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is usually served as the transparent conductive electrode of Cu(In, Ga)(S, -Se) 2 (CIGSSe) solar cells. However, ITO is fabricated by sputtering method, which will increase the cost of CIGSSe solar cells and prevent its large-scale market applications in the future. Hence, it is particularly important to develop low-cost transparent conductive window layers to replace the traditional ITO. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are considered to be the most promising alternative to ITO. Compared with sputtered ITO, AgNWs have the advantages of high transmittance, low cost, and easy fabrication. Nevertheless, the poor adhesion and stability of AgNWs can prevent the transportation of carriers of CIGSSe solar cells. Here, we select amorphous TiO x as an adjuvant to fabricate AgNWs/TiO x composite transparent conductive layer to substitute the traditional ITO. Under the assistance of TiO x matrix, not only the connection, adhesion, and stability of AgNWs are greatly enhanced, but also the surface roughness of AgNWs is also reduced. The influence of AgNWs concentration on the performance of CIGSSe solar cells is investigated. When the AgNWs concentration is 2.5 mg/mL, the transmittance and sheet resistance of AgNWs thin film are 93.35% and 93 Ω/sq, respectively, and the devices achieved the highest efficiency of 13.59%.

Single-atom catalysts towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) often suffer from unsatisfactory activity and poor stability. Herein, for the first time, we successfully modulated the electronic structure of the Mn–N–C catalyst by introducing chalcogen oxygen groups (XO2, X = S, Se, Te), which induce changes in the Mn–N bond length in the MnN4 structure, thereby modulating the electronic structure of the metal center Mn. The experimental results demonstrate that the introduction of XO2 groups results in the rearrangement of Mn 3d electrons, which can be strongly correlated with the ORR activity of the Mn–N–C catalysts, among which the SeO2 modification increases the kinetic current density of the Mn–N–C catalyst achieving a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.79 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode, approaching that of Fe–N–C catalysts along with significant stability in acidic media. The promising performance of the Mn–N–C catalyst as a PGM-free cathode was confirmed through fuel cell testing. First-principles calculations demonstrate that the introduced XO2 group downshifts the d-band center of the Mn center, thus successfully optimizing the adsorption of oxygen intermediates. This finding significantly facilitates the activity enhancement of Mn–N–C catalysts via the construction of a geometric structure–electronic structure–catalytic property relationship.

Nonmetals doping are effective for adjusting the electronic and molecular structures of C 3 N 4 nanosheets (CN), which could broaden the range of visible light response and improve the photo-induced electron-hole separation. Here a series of nonmetals (S, P, F and Br) doped C 3 N 4 nanosheets (x-CN) decorated with boron doped C 3 N 4 nanodots (BCNDs) was prepared for the first time. Compared with the pristine nonmetals doped CN, the integrating of BCNDs with x-CN can effectively facilitates the charge separation and transfer in the photocatalytic process, and endows enhanced photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production. The maximum photocatalytic hydrogen production rate of the BCNDs/S-CN, BCNDs/P-CN, BCNDs/F-CN and BCNDs/Br-CN composite can reach 3924.81 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , 2387.62 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , 2374.06 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 and 3471.56 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 respectively, which is about 3.3, 4.3, 4.0 and 3.1 times that of their counterparts, respectively. This work demonstrates that BCNDs plays an important role to improve the photocatalytic properties by forming 0D/2D isotype heterojunction with nonmetals doped C 3 N 4 nanosheets and provides new members for heterojunction photocatalysts, which is conductive to further fundamental and applied research.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with attractive capacity give remarkable potential for prospective high-capacity application scenarios but suffer a fatal flaw of short cyclability before large-scale commercialization especially owing to polysulfide (Li 2 S n ) transmembrane shuttling. To efficiently restrain chronic Li 2 S n shuttle and expedite Li + transfer, herein, a novel electriferous charge-mosaic S(TMC@Lys-Li) separator preparation approach is recommended. Interfacial polymerizations of lithiated lysine and trimesoyl chloride establish an electriferous charge-mosaic polyamide functional layer. Substituted Li within the charge-mosaic layer offers transition or replacement sites for smoothing Li + migrations, which constructs efficient Li + fast-transfer private channels and accelerates the Li + transfer rate to 9.4 times. Negatively charged polyamide skeleton synchronously heightens Li 2 S n rejections by combining Donnan and steric effects. S(TMC@Lys-Li) replenishes Li for homogenizing Li nucleation and growth, endowing stable plating/stripping behaviors over 250 cycles for Li-Cu batteries. Assembled Li-S cells thus exhibit excellent specific capacity and cyclability at multiple application scenarios such as long periods, high areal capacity, and fast charge, holding 78.1% retention after 500 cycles at 1 C. The superior thermal stability and self-discharge of S(TMC@Lys-Li) dramatically strengthen battery thermal runaway resistance even at 155 ℃, which ensures security for Li-S battery high-power and high-temperature operations. Above alluring features enable charge-mosaic separators to be potentially adopted in practical Li-S batteries demanding strict security, high-capacity density, and fast charge technology.

Black phosphorous (BP) has attracted extensive attention because of its unique properties, but the unstable structure restricts its practical application. Herein, exfoliated tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) was innovatively chosen to couple with BP nanosheets to form a novel 2D/2D heterojunction BP/WO 3 through self-assembly process. Instead of conventional hydrothermal reactor without the stirring function or just simple mixing at room temperature and pressure, the magnetic stirring reactor was adopted to provide an inert gas atmosphere (N 2 ) with high temperature and pressure (120 °C and 0.4 MPa), where the contact chance of BP and WO 3 nanosheets would be improved greatly and then be pushed towards each other to form tighter interface. The establishment of S-scheme band structure was proved by the abundant existence of ·OH and ·O 2 – detected by radical scavenging experiments and EPR test. Besides, the electron injection from WO 3 to BP under irradiation confirmed by XPS test can improve the chemical stability of BP much, and it further indicated the construction of S-scheme charge migration pathway between BP and WO 3 , which can achieve effective spatial separation of photogenerated e - -h + pairs without sacrifice of weakening the redox power of useful electrons and holes. As a result, the 6BP/WO 3 showed enhanced photocatalytic performance with a removal ratio of 98.6% for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and 93.2% for Cr(VI) within 60 min, respectively. This study provides new strategy to the design and preparation of efficient 2D/2D S-scheme photocatalyst with visible light responsive ability.

An effecti v e combination pretreatment of bamboo shoot shell (BSS) using Emulsifier OP-10 (0.5%, w/v) in the acidified media (pH 4.0) by autoclaving (120 °C, 40 min) was conducted. After BSS slurry without detoxification was enzymatically hydrolyzed for 96 h, glucose (25.2 g/L) and xylose (7.5 g/L) were obtained from 50 g/L BSS at high yields. HPLC results showed that no potential inhibitors (furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) formed. In the hydrolysates , an effective biocatalytic synthesis of ethyl ( S )-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (100% yield; >99% e.e. ) from 1000 mM ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate was developed without the extra addition of cofactors within 24 h. In summary, this combination strategy involving biomass pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification , and bioreduction can be developed for producing chiral alcohols.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most extensively used electron-transporting layers (ETLs) in organic solar cells. However, owing to numerous surface defects and mismatched energy bands with the photoactive layer, light-soaking process is usually required to achieve a high device performance for the ZnO-based cells. Herein, we reported the synthesis of N,S-doped carbon quantum dots (N,S-CQDs) by a simple hydrothermal treatment using ascorbic acid and ammonium persulfate as reagents. As characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, the synthesized CQDs were found to be 2–7 nm in dimensions, having a graphite-structured core and amorphous carbon on the shell. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses confirmed that these CQDs are highly nitrogen- and sulfur-doped, which leads to efficient (with a quantum yield of 33%) downconversion and excitation-dependent photoluminescence character. Application of these N,S-CQDs as surface modifier for ZnO layer in inverted organic solar cells was investigated. Results indicate that the cells with N,S-CQDs-decorated ZnO ETL showed higher power conversion efficiency without S-shaped kink in the current density–voltage curves. The performance improvement and the elimination of light-soaking effect for ZnO:N,S-CQDs cells are attributed to the ZnO surface defect passivation by N,S-CQDs, as confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy and scanning Kelvin probe microscopy. The cells with N,S-CQDs-modified ZnO ETL showed a high power conversion efficiency of 9.31%, which is higher than the reference ZnO cells. The current work provides a feasible way to achieve shell element-doped CQDs for specific application in organic electronic devices.

Poly(vinyl ether)s (PVEs) are typical products from living cationic polymerization. However, postpolymerization modification (PPM) and topological structure design of poly(vinyl ether)s under relatively mild conditions are rare, which limits their practical applications. Herein, we report a facile method to overcome this limitation by exploiting the selective addition reaction of electrophilic selenium reagent and divinyl monomers, which can produce PVEs with pendent vinyl groups in each repeat unit or end-functionalized PVEs. PPM of PVEs was realized by a thiol–ene click reaction. Furthermore, brush polymers and core cross-linked star polymers were successfully prepared by using end-functionalized PVEs as macromonomers, providing a general method for the preparation of topological polymers and laying a foundation for the development and application of PVEs.

Graphical Porous carbon electrode : CoS 2 @N/S-codoped porous carbon is prepared through an electrodeposition–ZIF conversion–sulfuration strategy. The loading of active sites can be controlled easily by varying the electrodeposition time. The resulting material can be employed directly as a working electrode for the hydrogen evolution reaction and shows an excellent catalytic activity and stability. A convenient, controllable method to fabricate an electrode is necessary to achieve the practical application of a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst. In this work, an electrodeposition–ZIF conversion–sulfuration strategy is developed to produce a CoS 2 @N/S-codoped porous carbon (CoS 2 @NSC/CFP) to drive the HER efficiently. CoS 2 @NSC/CFP was prepared by the electrodeposition of Co(OH) 2 on a carbon fiber paper followed by conversion into ZIF-67 and subsequent sulfuration with sulfur. The loading of electroactive components can be controlled easily in the range of 0.7–10.0 mg cm −2 by varying electrodeposition time from 5 min to 2 h. The resulting material can be employed directly as a working electrode for the HER and it shows an excellent catalytic activity and stability with an overpotential of 95 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and 158 mV to reach 100 mA cm −2 in an acidic medium. The high efficiency is related intimately to the high dispersion of ultra-small CoS 2 nanoparticles, heteroatom-codoping, and the 3 D porous network configuration of the carbon fiber paper.

H2S and CO2 are the main impurities in raw natural gas, which needs to be purified before use. However, the comprehensive utilization of H2S and CO2 has been ignored. Herein, we proposed a fully resource-based method to convert toxic gas H2S and greenhouse gas CO2 synchronously into CO and elemental S by using a novel electrochemical reactor. The special designs include that, in the anodic chamber, H2S was oxidized rapidly to S based on the I–/I3– cyclic redox system to avoid anode passivation. On the other hand, in the cathodic chamber, CO2 was rapidly and selectively reduced to CO based on a porous carbon gas diffusion electrode (GDE) modified with polytetrafluoroethylene and cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc). A high Faraday efficiency (>95%) toward CO was achieved due to the enhanced mass transfer of CO2 on the GDE and the presence of the selective CoPc catalyst. The maximum energy efficiency of the system was more than 72.41% with a current density of over 50 mA/cm2, which was 12.5 times higher than what was previously reported on the H2S treatment system. The yields of S and CO were 24.94 mg·cm–2·h–1 and 19.93 mL·cm–2·h–1, respectively. A model analysis determined that the operation cost of the synchronous utilization of H2S and CO2 method was slightly lower than that of the single utilization of H2S in the existing natural gas purification technology. Overall, this paper provides efficient and simultaneous conversion of H2S and CO2 into S and CO.
