Designing ultrahigh energy density and mass-loading of electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution is highly desirable but remains a great challenge. Herein, a 3D high-rise architectural structure consisting of dense Ni(OH) 2 nanoparticles on CuMoO 4 nanocube heterostructure arrays on Ni foam (Ni(OH) 2 /CuMoO 4 /NF) is developed via a hydrothermal reaction, calcination and electrodeposition method. Benefitting from the optimized electronic configuration, hierarchical high-rise architecture, and large specific surface area and mesoporous, the Ni(OH) 2 /CuMoO 4 /NF exhibits superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in 1.0 M KOH solution. Ni(OH) 2 /CuMoO 4 /NF only requires low overpotential of 70 mV achieving a current density of 10 mA cm −2 with a low Tafel slope of 80 mV dec −1 , and superior long-term stability toward HER. This work provides a new structural design to high-rise architectural structures for efficient catalytic application.

Water pollution seriously affects the development of society and human life. There are various kinds of pollutants, including soluble pollutants and insoluble floaters on the water surface. Herein, the photocatalyst semiconductor BiOCl and superhydrophobic functional particles Mg(OH)2were deposited on the surfaces of canvas and polyester felt to construct superhydrophobic canvas and polyester felt. The contact angles of the synthetic superhydrophobic canvas and polyester felt were measured as 152° and 155.3°, respectively. The selective adsorption of hexadecane was achieved using the wetting difference between the surface of water and pollutants floating on the surface. For dissolved pollutants, the surface wettability needed to be changed with the help of ethanol. The degradation efficiencies were all greater than 90%, demonstrating the versatility of the synthetic superhydrophobic canvas and polyester felt.

This work successfully synthesizes a new type of multi-layered flexible hybrid electrode (Cu/Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni) composing of bimetallic components, hierarchical porous structure and outstanding glucose electrocatalytic performance. The synthesis strategy includes a facile two-step approach, i.e. the Ni(OH) 2 nanolayer in-situ grows on a nanoporous Ni (np-Ni) network (Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni) via deionized water immersion and then the metallic Cu dendrites are uniformly deposited on Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni. Moreover, due to the hierarchical porous structure as well as synergetic effect of Ni(OH) 2 and Cu dual electroactive components, the Cu/Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni hybrid electrode electrodeposited with 1 min delivers wider linear range of 18 mM and higher sensitivity of 1.629 mA mM −1 cm −2 . The electrode possesses excellent interference immunity, reproducibility as well as long-time stability. In addition, the mechanism of electrochemical sensors for detecting glucose under alkaline conditions is briefly introduced. Accordingly, the flexible Cu/Ni(OH) 2 /np-Ni electrode material shows promise for further development as a contender for wearable glucose sensors.

The application of transition metal hydroxides has long been plagued by its poor conductivity and stability as well as severe aggregation tendency. In this paper, a novel hierarchical core–shell architecture, using an F-doped Co(OH)2nanorod array (Co(OH)F) as the core and Mn/Ni co-doped Co(OH)2nanosheets (NiCoMn-LDH) as the shell, was constructed via an MOF-mediated in situ generation method. The obtained Co(OH)F@ NiCoMn-LDH composites exhibited excellent supercapacitive performance with large specific capacitance as well as improved rate capability and long-term stability. The effect of the Ni/Mn ratio on the supercapacitive performance and energy storage kinetics was systematically investigated and the related mechanism was revealed.

Carbon nanomaterial is a momentous field of current biomedical research. However, extensive exploration is still required to endow carbon nanomaterial with both antibacterial properties and biological safety. In this study, fullerenol and calcium ions were synthesized into C 60 (OH) n -Ca nanoparticles through an electrostatic self-assembly strategy. Morphological and chemical analyses revealed that the C 60 (OH) n -Ca nanoparticles contained 4.52 at.% Ca, with a minimum size of approximately 10 nm. The electrostatic self-assembly did not alter the chemical structure of the fullerenol. The photodynamic antibacterial effect of the C 60 (OH) n -Ca nanoparticles was concentration-dependent, showing antibacterial rates of 94 % and 96.6 % against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 100 μg/mL, while the antibacterial effect was unsatisfactory under dark conditions. Additionally, C 60 (OH) n -Ca nanoparticles promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, demonstrating desirable biological safety. The C 60 (OH) n -Ca nanoparticles synthesized in this article achieved a balance between antibacterial and cytocompatibility, thus possess potential applications in biomedical fields.

This study deciphers the anionic modulation mechanism of halide ions (F−/Cl−) in cobalt-based hydroxides for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Phase-pure Co(OH)2, Co(OH)F, and Co2(OH)3Cl were fabricated via substrate-independent hydrothermal synthesis to eliminate conductive support interference. Electrocatalytic evaluation on glassy carbon electrodes demonstrates fluoride’s superior regulatory capability over chloride. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses revealed that F−incorporation induces charge redistribution through Co → F electron transfer, optimizing the electronic configuration via ligand effects. F−incorporation simultaneously guided the anisotropic growth of 1D nanorods and reduced surface energy, thereby enhancing the wettability of Co(OH)F. The engineered Co(OH)F catalyst delivers exceptional OER performance: 318 mV overpotential at 10 mA/cm2in 1 M KOH with 94% current retention over 20 h operation. This study provides a synthetic strategy for preparing pure-phase Co(OH)F and compares halide ions’ effects on enhancing OER activity through electronic structure modulation and morphological control of basic cobalt salts.

The impressive water stability demonstrated by MIL-101(Cr) highlights its considerable potential for the effective elimination of organic contaminants from wastewater. Nevertheless, the limited availability of adsorption sites within MOFs leads to an unsatisfactory capacity for tetracycline (TC) adsorption. In this case, the lanthanum modified MIL-101(Cr) porous adsorbents, termed as nLa-MIL-101(Cr), were successfully synthesized using a post-synthetic modification method. Through various characterization analyses, it was confirmed that lanthanum exists in the form of La(OH) 3 within the adsorbents, and all adsorbents also preserved the original structure as MIL-101(Cr). The results of static adsorption experiments demonstrated that, compared to the original material, the adsorption capacity of 1La-MIL-101(Cr) for TC increased by 3.5 times. Further experiments demonstrated that the adsorbent exhibits remarkable ion interference resistance and cycle stability. Finally, based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the adsorption mechanism was primarily attributed to the coordination between TC molecules and metals active site, while electrostatic interactions also played a significant role in the process. This study has developed a highly efficient adsorbent for the treatment of TC-contaminated wastewater, which reflects promising practical application prospects.

Rational design of Ni-based electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation reaction (MOR) and in-depth understanding of their catalytic mechanism remain a challenge. Herein, carbon dots/graphene heterostructure is constructed to load Ni(OH) 2 and the role of carbon dots focuses on regulating distribution and electronic property of Ni(OH) 2 . Regulation mechanism of carbon dots on Ni(OH) 2 for optimizing MOR activity are revealed by in-situ Raman, in-situ FTIR, operando electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy, and so on. It’s found carbon dots could disperse Ni species and regulate their distribution configuration. Appropriate amount of carbon dots promotes the formation of highly dispersed CDs&Ni(OH) 2 type. Because of strong interaction between Ni(OH) 2 and CDs, coordination environment and local electronic structure of Ni in Ni-CDs/G can be regulated by carbon dots, leading to phase-ratio variation of α-Ni(OH) 2 /β‑Ni(OH) 2 and d-band center shift of Ni(OH) 2 . For the best Ni-4CDs/G electrocatalyst, more formed α-Ni(OH) 2 lead to d-band center downshift from the E F level and optimized its adsorption of methanol. Ni-4CDs/G shows the specific activity of 299.2 mA cm −2 and mass activity of 3756.5 mA mg −1 at peak current. In water splitting test, lower initial overpotential of 140 mV is found in methanol electrolysis than that in water electrolysis. This opens a new door to regulate the metal-based electrocatalysts by CDs and will inspire more people to explore CDs-based materials for electrocatalytic application.

The development of high-performance and cost-effective electrocatalysts toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is remarkably desirable but challenging. Herein, we design and fabricate a sea urchin-like S-doped Ni(OH) 2 electrocatalyst on nickel foam using a simple hydrothermal method, followed by treatment with Na 2 S solution. The introduction of S not only modulates the electronic structure of Ni(OH) 2 , but also improves the electronic conductivity, thus enhancing the OER performance of Ni(OH) 2 . Owing to the free-standing feature, modified electronic structure, and sea urchin-like structure, the optimized S-Ni(OH) 2 –30 min delivers excellent OER performance with overpotentials of 306 and 392 mV at 10 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, Tafel slope of 89.2 mV dec −1 , and stability for 30 h at 50 mA cm −2 . This work demonstrates the importance of incorporating S in Ni(OH) 2 to optimize the electronic structure for improving OER activity and provides a promising pathway to synthesize Ni(OH) 2 -based electrocatalysts.

We revisit one of the most used techniques for quantifying the aqueous OH radicals (OH aq ) in plasma–liquid systems, the molecular probe method which obtains the [OH aq ] by measuring a stable material formed through a rapid reaction between the molecular probe and the OH aq . In this study, we used disodium terephthalate (NaTA) as the molecular probe; the experimental results with a theoretical analysis suggest that to obtain the correct OH aq concentration, the concentration of the molecular probe should be greater than a certain value, which depends on the types of the plasma–liquid systems. However, this is not the case in most of the existing reports in which the NaTA is often much less than the requisite value.

The first example of lanthanide borate-sulfate compound, namely, La 2 B 3 O 4 (OH) 3 (SO 4 ) 2 has been obtained through hydrothermal synthesis , which belongs to polar space group Pna 2(1) (No. 33). Its structure possesses double lanthanum sulfate layers in the ab plane in which the lanthanide ions are bridged by SO 4 tetrahedra. These layers are further cross-linked by borate chains into the final 3D framework. It is noteworthy that this compound is the first lanthanide borate-sulfate which crystalizes in polar space group and it displays second-harmonic generation (SHG) signal of about 0.1 times that of KH 2 PO 4 . The SHG coefficient of the compound is ascribed to the synergistic effect of SO 4 units and borate units. Meanwhile, distorted LaO x polyhedra also play an important role in the contribution to SHG response.

In this study, In(OH)3 nanocrystals with three morphologies including rods, cubes and spheres were synthesized through a hydrothermal method. The morphology and crystalline were manipulated by controlling the growth speed and the addition of ascorbic acid. The InVO4
nanocrystals were obtained by a process sacrificing In(OH)3 templates. The phase transformation of rods and cubes generated size-controllable products, whereas that of nanospheres formed hollow micro-spheres. InVO4 nanocrystals display a brilliant yellow emission band
with the peak at 517 nm. Intriguingly, luminescent rare-earth Eu ions with red emission could be doped into InVO4 nanocrystals during the phase transformation. Excitation and the emission spectra indicated an excitation energy transfer from the vanadate to the rare-earth ions.
