Cu(OH) 2 has the advantages of ease of structural regulation, good conductivity, and relatively low cost, making it a suitable candidate material for use as an electrocatalyst. However, its catalytic efficiency and stability still need to be improved further. Therefore, Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S was successfully prepared on copper foam (CF) using the in situ growth and hydrothermal method. The structural characterization showed that sulfidation treatment induced transformation of Cu(OH) 2 /CF from smooth nanorods into a coral-like structure, which exposed more active sites of Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S and enhanced the performance of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Compared with Cu(OH) 2 , Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S showed better alkaline HER performance, especially when the vulcanization concentration was 0.1 M, the overpotential of Cu(OH) 2 /Cu 2 S was 174 mV, and the reaction kinetics was 64 mv dec −1 at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . In this work, the morphology and electronic structure of copper-based metal sulfide electrocatalysts were adjusted by sulfide treatment, which provided a new reference for improving HER performance.

The hetero-bimetallic polyanionic compound BiCu 2 (TeO 3 )(SO 4 )(OH) 3 was synthesized using hydrothermal techniques. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / n (No. 14) with lattice parameters a = 9.5513(15), b = 6.3022(10), c = 13.955(2) Å, β = 102.845(3)°, and Z = 4. The structure of title compound is a three-dimensional tunnel framework consisting of edge-sharing two-dimensional [Cu 3 O 10 ] 14– layers linked by BiO 8 bicapped trigonal prisms, TeO 3 2– trigonal pyramids and SO 4 2– tetrahedra. Along [010], each Cu(1)O 6 octahedron shares two edges with adjacent Cu(1)O 6 units to form infinite one-dimensional zigzag chains, which are connected by double inverted Cu(2)O 6 octahedral units via edge sharing (O9 ··· O8). The suitability of crystal for optical applications was investigated by UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy. Raman and FTIR spectra were used to confirm the presence of various functional groups such as TeO 3 2– , SO 4 2– , OH – in the crystals.

The exploring and developing non-precious transition metal-based catalysts for practical water electrolysis with the low cost, high efficiency and easy macroscopic preparation was still a challenge. Herein, Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 heterojunction with different sulfuration time was proposed and hydrothermally synthesized using a simple two-step approach, which served as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting in alkaline solution at industrial temperature. Among these catalysts, Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 -5h displayed the smallest overpotentials (237 mV@100 mA cm −2 and 360 mV@100 mA cm −2 ) for OER and HER at room temperature, along with low Tafel slopes of 62.0 mV dec −1 and 80.8 mV dec −1 respectively. Furthermore, working at high temperature Ni 3 S 2 /Ni(OH) 2 -5h exhibited even lower overpotential of 82 mV@100 mA cm −2 at 70 °C for OER and 325 mV@100 mA cm −2 at 60 °C for HER. The excellent performance was ascribed to the heterojunction accelerating the charge transfer, hierarchical interconnected structure promoting the mass transfer and the synergistic effect between the components of Ni 3 S 2 and Ni(OH) 2 . This work could provide a promising route for promoting the electrocatalytic performance of Ni-based catalyst with a simple sulfuration method for industrial water splitting, which could expand to other non-noble metal-based materials for enhancing the electrocatalytic activities.

Integrating heterogeneous hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts into compatible composite catalysts with specific interfaces and structures holds great promise for the development of efficient bifunctional catalysts for overall water splitting. Herein, heterogeneous MoS 2 -Ni(OH) 2 catalyst supported by Ni foam (MoS 2 @Ni(OH) 2 /NF) is developed, in which the Ni(OH) 2 nanorod array is grafted with MoS 2 nanosheets . The hierarchical 1D/2D structures benefit not only the exposure of catalytic site but also the facilitated charge transfer. The heterointerfaces allow the synergism of electric structure modulation for improved catalytic activity and kinetics towards HER, OER, and overall water splitting. MoS 2 @Ni(OH) 2 /NF achieves a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at low overpotentials of 134 and 233 mV for HER and OER in 1 M KOH, respectively. Moreover, a cell voltage as low as 1.46 V is obtained to afford 10 mA cm −2 in a tow-electrode electrolyzer using MoS 2 @Ni(OH) 2 /NF as bifunctional catalysts, assuring it superior to most of the reported noble-metal-free bifunctional electrocatalysts. Such heterogeneous design of composite catalyst should shed light on the exploration of functional materials for energy applications.

In this paper, non-aqueous Fe(OH) 3 /palygorskite dispersion was prepared and its liquid crystal phase behavior was investigated. Positively charged Fe(OH) 3 colloidal particles were put in to non-aqueous and organically modified palygorskite dispersion. The effects of organically treated palygorskite and Fe(OH) 3 on the preparation of stable palygorskite dispersion were characterized with FT-IR, XRD , Contact Angle measurement , Zeta potential detection, Settlement measurement and SEM , respectively. The addition of Fe(OH) 3 particles shifted the concentrations of the coexisting isotropic and nematic phases to higher values while at the same time markedly accelerated the phase separation. The influence of Fe(OH) 3 particles on the dispersion in magnetic field was also discussed.

Spinel-type materials are attracting great attention as potential electrocatalysts for the hydrogen- and oxygen-evolution reactions. However, their inherent catalytic activities are not on par with those of precious-metal catalysts, and their poor stabilities continue to constrain their rapid development. In this study, we fabricated Zr-CuCo 2 S 4 nanowires and Co(OH) 2 nanosheet–nanowires using electrochemical methods, resulting in lattice defects, sulfur vacancies, and more exposed active sites that catalyze the hydrogen- and oxygen-evolution reactions. DFT calculations revealed that sulfur vacancies enhance intrinsic activity, while Zr doping reduces the energy barrier for H*–OH* adsorption, promotes the formation of additional sulfur vacancies, and modulates active-site Cu/Co valence states, which greatly enhances water-dissociation and H*-adsorption kinetics. Consequently, Zr-CuCo 2 S 4 /Co(OH) 2 requires low overpotentials of 88 and 208 mV, respectively, to support highly stable alkaline hydrogen- and oxygen-evolution reactions at 10 mA cm −2 . This study provides a rational strategy for designing low-cost spinels for green and clean energy.

In this work, aiming to evaluate and compare the luminescent property of Eu3+ doped La(OH)3 nanorods and its decomposed compounds of LaOOH and La2O3, La(OH)3: Eu3+ nanorods were synthesized and the decomposition behaviors in air and hydrogen were revealed. Then the luminescent property of 0%–8% Eu3+ doped La(OH)3 nanorods and the 300 °C–800 °C calcined La(OH)3: Eu3+- 4% were studied. Results show that LaOOH is intermediate product during the degradation of La(OH)3 in air or H2, which can be formed at a temperature range in 372.3 °C–592.9 °C in air. Intensity of emission spectra of La(OH)3: Eu3+ nanorods increases with the rising of Eu3+ dopant concentration, and the emission property of Eu3+ doped LaOOH and La2O3 is varied and strengthened with that of La(OH)3: Eu3+. Luminescent matrixes of LaOOH and La2O3 show similar emission spectrum and intensity, and the transitions of the D0 → 7F1 and D0 → 7F2 of Eu3+ each bifurcate into two peaks for both europium (III) doped La2O3 and LaOOH. The revealed results suggest that LaOOH is a relative thermal-stable compound and should be an appropriate matrix as similar as La2O3 for luminescent applications.

Hydroxylated carbon quantum dots (OH-CQDs) modified g-C 3 N 4 hollow microspheres were prepared using a supramolecular precursor self-assembly method. The incorporation of OH-CQDs into the precursor resulted in the formation of a hollow flower-like microsphere structure composed of g-C 3 N 4 nanoflakes in the final samples, which exhibited a morphology that was roughly inherited from that of the supramolecular precursor. The incorporation of an optimal quantity of OH-CQDs did not result in a deterioration of the g-C 3 N 4 product morphology; rather, it led to an enhancement in its microsphere structure. The modified nanostructure of g-C 3 N 4 resulted in a significant increase in reaction sites and promoted the adsorption of organic dye molecules on the surface of the g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst during degradation reactions. Furthermore, despite the reduction in carrier concentration of g-C 3 N 4 resulting from the decoration with OH-CQDs, the impedance was significantly diminished and the photocurrent density was also markedly improved. It can thus be concluded that the decoration of OH-CQDs has significantly enhanced the mobility of g-C 3 N 4 , thereby contributing to the improvement of the photocatalytic performance of the g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst.

SnZn(OH)6 (ZHS) with different morphologies were synthesized by a facile self-templated method at room temperature. It was found that the morphology of ZHS could be controlled by varying the concentration of OH−. The crystalline structure and morphology of the particles were characterized by x-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy images, and N2 adsorption. The results indicated that the particles had almost uniform monoclinic geometry and uniform size. The photocatalytic activity of ZHS with different morphologies was tested through degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). Therein, the hollow ZHS showed the highest light catalytic performance due to its large BET surface area, wide band gap, and high crystallinity.

Zn–Ni battery is prospective green energy storage device. However, Zn(OH) 4 2– , the dissolved product of ZnO in the electrolyte, redistributes during the cycle, leading to the shape changing of the anode. This issue severely limits the lifespan of zinc anodes. Despite the success in improving the electrochemical performances of zinc anode via adding Ti 4 O 7 additive, the important mechanism of such modified anode has not been well understood. In addition, the aluminothermic reduction is facile and energy-saving. But the application of Ti 4 O 7 synthesized by this method in Zn–Ni batteries has not been studied. Herein, Ti 4 O 7 synthesized by facile and rapid aluminothermic reduction was applied to alkaline zinc anode. In subsequent electrochemical tests, the discharge capacity and cyclic performance of the zinc-nickel battery was significantly improved by adding as-prepared Ti 4 O 7 particles. At a high discharge current of 2.5 A (34.54 mA cm −2 ), the anode modified by Ti 4 O 7 delivered higher discharge capacity of 364 mAh g −1 , in contrast to the 283 mAh g −1 of pristine anode. Even at ultra-high discharge current of 10 A (138.16 mA cm −2 ), the battery operated stably for 480 cycles. Besides, the mechanism of Ti 4 O 7 modifying anode was studied in-depth by a variety of characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We discovered that Ti 4 O 7 simultaneously regulates the distribution of electrons on the anode and Zn(OH) 4 2– in the electrolyte, contributing to forming uniform zinc anode during cycling.

A new noncentrosymmetric material, namely, K 2 [B 3 O 3 (OH) 5 ] has been obtained by conventional solution reaction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ama 2 (no. 40). In the structure of K 2 [B 3 O 3 (OH) 5 ], the BO 2 (OH) triangles and BO 2 (OH) 2 tetrahedra are linked via sharing corners forming the isolated [B 3 O 3 (OH) 5 ] 2- anionic groups with no dangling bonds in oxygen atoms. And K 2 [B 3 O 3 (OH) 5 ] is the first synthetic noncentrosymmetric borates with [B 3 O 3 (OH) 5 ] 2- anionic groups. Powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) using the Kurtz−Perry technique showed that K 2 [B 3 O 3 (OH) 5 ] is type I phase-matchable, and the measured SHG coefficient is 0.32 times that of KH 2 PO 4 . The UV transmittance spectroscopy measurement indicated that the UV absorption edge was below 200 nm, suggesting that K 2 [B 3 O 3 (OH) 5 ] might be a promising deep-UV nonlinear optical material. Band structure and optical property calculations based on DFT methods were also performed.

Global warming, driven by rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, is an environmental predicament confronted by humanity. Plasma catalytic decomposition of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide is a practical approach to mitigate this challenge, which can be a crucial step in carbon recycling. Metal selenides are promising candidates owing to their abundant reserves and outstanding electron transfer properties, making them highly active in chemical reactions. In this study, the morphology of AlO(OH) and the dispersion of Cu2−xSe were optimized by hydrothermal synthesis temperature. Specifically, the Cu2−xSe-Al-180 catalyst, prepared at a hydrothermal temperature of 180 °C, formed AlO(OH) with good crystallinity and a nanoscale thin-sheet structure, with Cu2−xSe uniformly distributed on the AlO(OH) support. The reaction of CO2 decomposition to CO production by integrating Cu2−xSe-Al-180 with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma led to a CO2 conversion of up to 28.07% at a specific input energy (SIE) of 58.07 kJ L−1. The excellent CO2 adsorption properties of AlO(OH) and Cu2Se reduce the activation energy barrier of the reaction, and Cu2Se further promotes the excited activation of CO2 in the plasma. These findings offer valuable insights for the development and design of catalysts in the field of plasma catalysis and highlight the potential of CuSe-based materials in CO2 reduction technologies.
