Electrochemical water splitting has excellent application prospects in clean energy technology. However, due to the large overpotential required for the OER reaction during the water-splitting reaction, the modification of electrocatalysts is a vital strategy to address the slow kinetics of the OER reaction. In this paper, a simple and rapid two-step hydrothermal sulfidation method was used to prepare S-modified Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets electrocatalysts at 120 °C. At the same time, the well-designed nanostructured catalyst on the nickel foam substrate exposes a large number of active sites, and the simultaneously generated oxygen vacancies are beneficial to the penetration of the electrolyte and release of O 2 , thus significantly improving the OER performance. In 1.0 M KOH electrolyte, Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF exhibits excellent catalytic activity for OER. The catalyst requires only 430 mV overpotential at a current density of 100 mA cm -2 . In addition, Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF also has excellent long-term stability. Graphical abstract This work reports the formation of Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF heterojunctions by sulfiding Ni(OH) 2 on porous nickel foam. Surprisingly, these Ni 9 S 8 /Ni(OH) 2 /NF heterojunctions exhibit excellent oxygen evolution reaction performance and long-term stability. This is superior to most reported electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions.

In this study, Sn@C composite was fabricated from ZnSn(OH) 6 through a green thermal calcination method. For the first time, this composite was used as a modifier on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to construct an electrochemical biosensor to detect acetaminophen (AC). The Sn@C sensor exhibited distinctly enhanced performance in electrochemical response to AC compared with bare GCE, GCE modified with Sn and GCE modified with graphene. The linear range is 0.2–100 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.020 μM based on DPV analysis. The excellent electrochemical behavior can be ascribed to the outstanding conductivity of metal Sn and carbon, and the strong adsorption of the carbon layer to AC. Most importantly, the chemical interaction between Sn and C through Sn-C bond facilitated the electron transfer process in the electrooxidation of AC. Finally, the Sn@C sensor was successfully applied in pharmaceutical samples and spiked serum samples to detect AC with satisfactory recoveries.

Surface modification by hydrophilic functional group have a tremendous influence on the catalytic activity of photocatalyst , however, there are few reports on improving piezoelectric catalytic performance through surface functionalization . Herein, OH-modified SrTiO 3 was successfully obtained via a novel low-temperature solid-state precursor method and employed as a catalyst for photocatalytic , piezocatalytic and piezo-photocatalytic hydrogen production . Thanks to the super hydrophilic that is facilitating the contact of catalyst and water molecular and the more oxygen vacancies that can promote electron-hole separation, the photocatalytic, piezocatalytic and piezo-photocatalytic hydrogen generation of OH-modified SrTiO 3 (OH-STO) is about two times higher than pristine SrTiO 3 (STO). It is worth mentioning that the optimal piezo-photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of OH-STO (701.2 µmol h −1 g −1 ) is 5.3 times higher than the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution process of STO. This study presents a low-energy approach to the rational design of functional group modification nanomaterials that possess excellent piezo-photocatalytic performance.

Ultrathin nickel (Ni)-based sulfide nanosheets have been reported as excellent electrocatalysts for overall water splitting; however, the uncontrollability over thickness due to the nonlayered structure still hampers its practical application. Herein, a simple topochemical conversion strategy is employed to synthesize cobalt-doped Ni 3 S 2 (Co-Ni 3 S 2 ) ultrathin nanosheets on Ni foam. The Co-Ni 3 S 2 nanosheets are controlled synthesized by using Co-Ni(OH) 2 ultrathin nanosheets as templates with anneal and sulfurization treatment, showing exceptional electrocatalytic activity. This template-assisted method can also be applied to obtain Ni, NiO, and NiP x nanosheets, providing a universal strategy to synthesize ultrathin nanosheets of nonlayered materials. The overall water splitting of this Co-Ni 3 S 2 ultrathin nanosheets achieves a low voltage of 1.54 V at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 and high durability in 1 m KOH, comparable to the best performance of electrochemical water splitting ever reported. The detailed structural transformation of Ni-based sulfides in the catalytic process and its mechanism are further explored both experimentally and theoretically.

Amorphous/amorphous heterostructures with a large surface area are theoretically anticipated to promote the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and stability. However, the growth, characterization and theoretical simulation of amorphous/amorphous nanostructured heterostructures are still challenging due to their atomic isotropy. Herein, a novel and simple strategy is developed to synthesize amorphous/amorphous Ni–P/Ni(OH)2 heterostructure nanotubes by immersing Zn@Ni–P nanowires grown by axial screw dislocation in alkaline solution. When used as an HER catalyst, the Ni–P/Ni(OH)2 nanotubes achieve considerably high electrocatalytic activity and decent stability. The significantly low overpotential of 54.7 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 is among the best values reported for transition metal phosphides in alkaline solution. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the abundant defect structures of amorphous Ni–P would shift the Ni 3d band center toward the Fermi level, demonstrating an energy barrier decrease for H2 generation. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of amorphous Ni–P and Ni(OH)2 could significantly enhance H2O dissociation to supply sufficient protons for the HER.

The development of efficient, stable and low-cost oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts in anodes is essential for the production of hydrogen resources by electrolyzing water. Cobalt hydroxide (α-Co(OH)2) is one of the most encouraging electrocatalysts for the OER under alkaline conditions, but its catalytic activity is still unsatisfactory possibly due to its unfavorable electronic structure. The construction of heterogeneous catalysts has been considered as an effective strategy to change the interface and modulate the electronic structure of electrocatalysts, resulting in improved activities. Herein, novel self-supported α-Co(OH)2 coated Co3O4 nanosheet arrays on conductive carbon cloth have been constructed and fabricated via a simple electrodeposition method (α-Co(OH)2/Co3O4/CC), serving as efficient catalysts for the OER. The as-prepared heterostructure with optimal proportions of α-Co(OH)2 to Co3O4 exhibits an enhanced overpotential of 275 mV at 10 mA cm−2 (322 mV for α-Co(OH)2/CC and 359 mV for Co3O4/CC), a low Tafel slope of 76 mV dec−1 and excellent durability for 22 h. The further electrochemical results show that the formation of heterostructure can optimize the electronic structure of the catalysts through interfacial coupling effect, improve the charge transfer ability and increase the electrochemical active sites, all of which are beneficial to the OER performance enhancement. This work not only develops a highly efficient and stable non-precious metal catalyst toward the OER, but also opens up new ways for boosting the performance by regulating the electronic structure through interface engineering of electrocatalysts and beyond.

Material defects play an important role in metal oxide-based or hydroxide-based supercapacitors . Oxygen vacancies as anion vacancy defects can not only offer a high electron conductivity by act as shallow donors but also can adjust the materials’ surface properties. Herein, we synthesis a novel oxygen-vacancy-rich Co(OH) 2 /SnOᵪ/C hybrid nanosheets which are prepared by using a facile one-step hydrothermal route. Possessing special petal-like nanosheets and rich oxygen vacancies, the as-prepared dual ligand hybrid nanosheets (marked Co(OH) 2 /SnOᵪ/C) present a high specific capacitance of 806.36 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , much higher than single ligand compound (338.36 F g −1 or 450.00 F g −1 ). The solid-state asymmetrical supercapacitors assembled with Co(OH) 2 /SnOᵪ/C show energy density of 49.73 Wh kg −1 with a power density of 1599.98 W kg −1 , and good cycle stability with 64.43% capacitance retention after 20,000 cycles at the current density of 1 A g −1 .

Waterborne polymers are advantageous in terms of cost, convenience, sustainability, and environmental friendliness. As lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals suffer from fast degradation in the presence of water, it is challenging to encapsulate LHP nanocrystals in waterborne polymers. In this work, luminescent MAPbBr3@PbBr(OH) nanocrystals were synthesized via the aqueous grinding process in the presence of 2-methyl-imidazole (2-MIM) and oleylamime (OAm). 2-MIM triggers the formation of the PbBr(OH) matrix, and OAm acts as a size-control ligand to control the size of MAPbBr3@PbBrOH particles in the nanoscale range. Highly stable waterborne luminescent inks were successfully prepared by blending MAPbBr3@PbBr(OH) nanocrystals with waterborne polymers, including poly(vinylpyrrolidone), poly(vinyl acetate), and acrylate resins. Owning to the dual protection of the polymer matrix and PbBr(OH) to LHP quantum dots (QDs), the luminescent films exhibit excellent stability to the environment under thermal and light irradiation. The ink can be used as a phosphor to fabricate down-converting green and white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Waterborne anticounterfeiting inks suitable for screen printing were prepared via formula tuning for the anticounterfeit purpose. The anticounterfeiting luminescent patterns can be screen printed on paper, cloth, and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), with encryption and decryption of information being accurately and conveniently realized by switching UV irradiation.

Self-detoxifying materials for capturing and destructing chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have attracted intense attention in efficient personal protection and safe handling of contaminated materials. In this study, we reported an approach for synthesis of flexible Zr(OH) 4 -carbon fiber composite by sol–gel method. Activated carbon fibers serving as substrate carrier and adsorption conveyor could effectively make Zr(OH) 4 evenly distributed on the surface, which has excellent sorption properties and wide-ranging reactivity toward CWAs. The results demonstrated that the Zr(OH) 4 -carbon fiber composite could quickly remove (within 10 s) and 6-h degradation efficiency to 10-mg/mL sulfur mustard (HD) and O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylamino)-ethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX) could reach 92.2 and 99.99%. In addition, it was found that Zr(OH) 4 -carbon fiber composite remained intact after adsorption, which could recollect resources and avoid Zr(OH) 4 leakage into waters. Therefore, the designed Zr(OH) 4 -carbon fiber composite will be a good potential application in precision equipment or skin decontamination equipment.

Functional nanosheets have attracted great attention due to their potential applications in catalysis chemistry and material science. Herein, Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles interconnecting with nitrogen-doped carbon architectures (denoted as Co 3 O 4 /NC) was developed on nickel foam surface by a two-step solvothermal process and followed by calcination. A metal organic framework (MOF) of laminar CoMOF-NH 2 was synthesized firstly by in-situ transformation of Co 2 (OH) 3 Cl array. Then, porous Co 3 O 4 /NC nanosheets were obtained by controlled heat treatment of CoMOF-NH 2 . The Co 3 O 4 /NC supported by nickel foam can be directly used as self-supported electrodes for electrocatalysis without any binders. As-synthesized Co 3 O 4 /NC acts as effective catalysis for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Interestingly, the optimized electrochemical efficiency for OER was achieved by Co 3 O 4 /NC nanosheet with overpotentials of 235 mV and 264 mV offering current densities of 10 mA/cm 2 and 100 mA/cm 2 , respectively. It also has a relatively low Tafel slope, which indicates the fast electron transfer kinetics of the catalyst. So Co 3 O 4 /NC nanosheet has great potential in replacing precious metal electrocatalysts in OER application.

Excessive phosphate in wastewater can cause eutrophication of water body, which will worsen the ecological environment and threaten human health and biological life safety. Adsorption of phosphate is the most effective way to remove phosphate, and efficient adsorbent is the key. Amorphous La(OH) 3 has been deemed as a potential phosphate adsorbent on account of high adsorption capacity and environmentally friendly property. However, it also shows some disadvantages such as easy agglomeration, poor water dispersion. In this study, UiO-66-NH 2 was used as carrier to load amorphous lanthanum hydroxide as an adsorbent for phosphate removal. The adsorbent (UiO-66-NH 2 @La(OH) 3 , ULCs) has good water dispersibility and it is easy to be separated and recovered. At the same time, the maximum phosphate adsorption capacity can reach 140.7 mg P/g. The adsorption process accords with pseudo second order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model. The thermodynamic results showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, in the presence of coexisting anions (such as Cl − , SO 4 2− , NO 3 − ), it also exhibited high selectivity and phosphate removal efficiency. Meanwhile, the adsorption capacity keeps at a high level in the range of pH 3–11. By the merit of above-mentioned properties, the prepared material is expected to be an ideal candidate for phosphate removal from contaminated water.
