In this study, a novel Cu-based metal−organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) composite material was prepared, and used to develop a sensitive and efficient electrochemical ratiometric sensor for dopamine detection. Gold nanoparticles (NPs) and the conductive poly(xanthurenic acid) p(XA) were assembled on the Cu-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) surface by electrodeposition and cyclic voltammetry (CV) method, which greatly improved the electrocatalytic performance of the Cu-MOF modified electrode . Two substances (dopamine/DA, paracetamol/PA) with different electrochemical peaks were added to the electrolyte solutions , where DA was the analyte and PA was as a reference. The ratiometric value of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) oxidation current (I DA /I PA ) linearly increased with the increasing concentration of DA with low detection limit. This electrochemical ratiometric approach based on the metal−organic framework composites is expected to be a valuable strategy for detection of other analytes.

Catalytic conversion of un-pretreated Jatropha oil with high-acid value (13.8 mg KOH/g) to biodiesel was studied in ionic liquids (ILs) with metal chlorides. Several commercial ILs were used to catalyze the esterification of oleic acid . It was found that 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tosylate ([BMIm][CH 3 SO 3 ]; a Brønsted acidic IL) had the highest catalytic activity with 93% esterification rate for oleic acid at 140 °C but only 12% biodiesel yield at 120 °C. When FeCl 3 was added to [BMIm][CH 3 SO 3 ], a maximum biodiesel yield of 99.7% was achieved at 120 °C. Because metal ions in ILs supplied Lewis acidic sites, and more of the sites could be provided by trivalent metallic ions than those of bivalent ones. It was also found that the catalytic activity with bivalent metallic ions increased with atomic radius. Mixture of [BMIm][CH 3 SO 3 ] and FeCl 3 was easily separated from products for reuse to avoid producing pollutants.

Activation by nitric acid oxidation has been combined with atomic layer deposition (ALD) to modify microporous polypropylene (PP) membranes. Nitric acid oxidation with prewetting of t -butanol generates active groups on the inert surface of PP membranes. Metal oxides including Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 are subsequently ALD-deposited on the activated membrane. Nitric acid oxidation is a mild approach to activate PP membranes. A short immersion in nitric acid for 10 min is able to generate oxygen/nitrogen-containing active species on the membrane surface , which leads to an evident increase (38%) in the membrane permeability. The mechanical stability and the integrity of the porous structure are well preserved after activation. Surface elemental analyses and microscopy observations confirm the successful deposition of metal oxides thin layers onto the activated membranes. In the deposition of either Al 2 O 3 or TiO 2 , the hydrophilicity of the deposited membranes is continuously improved with increasing ALD cycles, resulting in further increase in water flux. After 100 ALD cycles, the flux is doubled compared to that of the bare membrane. Al 2 O 3 is more efficient in enhancing the hydrophilicity and permeation than TiO 2 under identical deposition conditions because of the faster growth of Al 2 O 3 on the activated PP surface.

It is a huge challenge for exploiting new photocatalysts with low-cost cocatalysts in place of precious metals to realize high-efficiency H 2 production from water. Herein, a new photocatalyst with a high H 2 production activity is prepared via modification of bimetallic manganese cobalt phosphide (Mn 0.67 Co 1.33 P) nanodots on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ). Moreover, the largest H 2 production rate of 113.1 μmol h −1 is obtained over the Mn 0.67 Co 1.33 P/g-C 3 N 4 -5 sample, which is about 2.75 times than that of Pt/g-C 3 N 4 -5 (41.2 μmol h −1 ). The high-performance H 2 production suggests page a page down that the modification effect of Mn 0.67 Co 1.33 P nanodots improves the visible harvest ability and separation efficiency of charge carriers. A typical example to improve the photocatalytic H 2 production performance by fabricating heterostructures using bimetallic phosphide to modify graphitic carbon nitride is provided.

Transition trimetallic sulfide NiCoMn–S attracts great attention due to its high specific capacity for hybrid supercapacitors , as well as Ti 3 C 2 is considered essentially as a potential new electrode material with iconic two-dimensional layered structure and excellent conductivity. Herein, NiCoMn–S nanoparticles are composited with two-dimensional layered Ti 3 C 2 via simple one-step hydrothermal method , which is first applied as positive electrode in hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs). A large number of NiCoMn–S nanoparticles distribute on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 and even insert into the Ti 3 C 2 layers, providing abundant electrochemical active sites for redox reaction and enhancing the mechanical stability for composites. Moreover, the NiCoMn–S/Ti 3 C 2 composites show lower charge-transfer resistance than pure NiCoMn–S, illustrating that the two-dimensional layered structure of Ti 3 C 2 improve the conductivity and supply additional electronic channels for ion transportation. The NiCoMn–S/Ti 3 C 2 -3.4% delivers a specific capacity of 347.1 C g −1 at a specific density of 1 A g −1 , which is 28% higher than that of pure NiCoMn–S (270.2 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 ). Finally, a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) is assembled by using NiCoMn–S/Ti 3 C 2 -3.4% as positive electrode and RGO as negative electrode, realizing a specific capacity of 164.3 C g −1 at 1 A g −1 and high specific energy of 16.2 Wh kg −1 at a specific power of 15 kW kg −1 .

Transition metal oxide-based catalysts are known as the most active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts due to their intrinsic electronic structures and binding strength of oxygenated intermediates. However, even the most active transition metal oxide-based OER catalysts have a turnover frequency far lower than that of the oxygen-evolving complexes in biological systems for intermolecular site aggregation. Herein, we implement the hybridization of a metal–organic framework and tungstic acid (WO3·xH2O-in-MIL-88) to achieve ordered FeNi site isolation at the molecular level and avoid intermolecular decomposition during the catalysis process. The optimized hybrid with 15% tungstic acid (15%-WO3·xH2O-in-MIL-88) achieves a much-enhanced OER activity and stability in terms of a low overpotential of 263 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2, a low Tafel slope of 39 mV dec−1, and long-term stability, which is much superior to that of the commercial RuO2 catalyst.

Various types of polyoxometalates (POMs) have been synthesized since the 19th century, but their assortment has been mostly limited to Groups 5 and 6 metals. Herein, a new family of POMs composed of a carbon group element as the addenda atoms with two distinct phases, LnPbOClO 4 -1 (Ln = Sm to Ho, Y) and LnPbOClO 4 -2 (Ln = Er and Tm) is reported. Both structures are built from [Ln 6 O 8 ] rare-earth metal hexamers being incorporated in [Pb 18 O 32 ]/[Pb 12 O 24 ] polyplumbites, and unbound perchlorates as charge-balancing anions. Impressively, YPbOClO 4 -1 and ErPbOClO 4 -2 exhibit exceptional uptake capacities (434.7 and 427.7 mg g −1 ) toward ReO 4 − , a chemical surrogate for the key radioactive fission product in the nuclear fuel cycle 99 TcO 4 − , which are the highest values among all inorganic anion-exchange materials reported until now. The sorption mechanism is clearly elucidated and visualized by single-crystal-to-single-crystal structural transformation from ErPbOClO 4 -2 to a perrhenate-containing complex ErPbOReO 4 , revealing a unique ReO 4 − uptake selectivity driven by specific interaction within Pb···O-ReO 3 − bonds.

Transition metal nitrides have recently attracted significant interest as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) owing to their low electrical resistance and good corrosion resistance. In this paper, we describe the preparation of a Nb-based binary nitride material with a porous nanogrid morphology/structure. The catalyst exhibited good catalytic activity and high stability towards oxygen reduction. We also intensively investigated the effect that doping with a second transition metal had on the performance of the catalyst. We found that the ORR activity of NbN could be enhanced significantly by enriching the d electrons of Nb through doping with a second transition metal, and that doping with cobalt resulted in the best improvement. Our optimal catalyst, Nb0.95Co0.05N, had an ORR activity ∼4.6 times that of NbN (current density @ 0.6 V vs. the RHE). XPS results revealed that Co doping increased the proportion of Nb in a low-valence state, which may be one of the most important reasons for the enhanced performance. Another important reason is the high surface area resulting from the porous nanogrid morphology. As transition metal doping is an attractive way to enhance the activity of nitride catalysts, our work may provide an effective pathway to achieve this.

This study demonstrates that metal-doped-clay (MDC) can be a selective platform for ribose produced from formaldehyde under abiotic conditions. Ribose exhibits superior retention compared with other carbohydrates on naturally occurring minerals on the early Earth in the presence of divalent cations. This finding offers an insight into the necessity of the emergence of ribose as the backbone of extant RNA.

Colloidal platinum–ruthenium bimetallic nanoparticles with 2.3 nm were synthesized in solution and then immobilized on tin dioxide powder to make a supported nanocatalyst (Pt–Ru/SnO 2 ). The immobilized bimetallic nanoparticles had the same size and size distribution as the solution dispersed ones. Selective hydrogenation of o -chloronitrobenzene to o -chloroaniline was performed over the as-prepared Pt–Ru/SnO 2 nanocatalyst without using any solvent; 99.5% selectivity to o -chloroaniline at ∼100% conversion was achieved.

The potential of B 4 C as a metal-free catalyst for vanadium redox reactions is investigated by first-principles calculations. Results show that the central carbon atom of B 4 C can act as a highly active reaction site for redox reactions , due primarily to the abundant unpaired electrons around it. The catalytic effect is then verified experimentally by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests, both of which demonstrate that B 4 C nanoparticles can enhance the kinetics for both V 2+ /V 3+ and VO 2+ /VO 2 + redox reactions, indicating a bi-functional effect. The B 4 C-nanoparticle-modified graphite felt electrodes are finally prepared and tested in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). It is shown that the batteries with the prepared electrodes exhibit energy efficiencies of 88.9% and 80.0% at the current densities of 80 and 160 mA cm −2 , which are 16.6% and 18.8% higher than those with the original graphite felt electrodes. With a further increase in current densities to 240 and 320 mA cm −2 , the batteries can still maintain energy efficiencies of 72.0% and 63.8%, respectively. All these results show that the B 4 C-nanoparticle-modified graphite felt electrode outperforms existing metal-free catalyst modified electrodes , and thus can be promising electrodes for VRFBs.

A novel gold-carbon dots (GCDs) exhibiting relatively high luminescence have been successfully synthesized by a facile solution cast method. Intriguingly, colloidal Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) present an enhancement effect on the photoluminescence of CDs, which can be attributed to the metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) included two cooperative mechanisms and near-field interactions. Significantly, the 1.5–3 fold enhancement was obtained in the vicinity of Au NPs. The formation mechanism and chemical structure of the as-prepared GCDs were verified by a series of characterization techniques, such as high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The GCDs with optimal fluorescence was acquired by varying volume ratio of colloidal Au NPs to CDs, rendering bright visible light under 460 nm excitation and high quantum yield (QY) of 39%. Given that, a simple spin coating technology was developed for fabricating GCDs film composed of GCDs solution and quartz glass. Subsequently, GCDs-based white light emitting diodes (white LED) was designed through integrating blue LED chips with the yellow light-emitting GCDs film. In addition, the GCDs film at appropriate thickness possesses excellent optical performances with the corresponding optimized color coordinate (CIE) of (0.33, 0.36), the color rendering index (CRI) of 78.2, correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5653 K, and the luminous efficiency (LE) approaching to 43.75 lm W −1 . These superior results demonstrate that GCDs constitute a versatile and effective route for achieving high-performance white LED.
