Rationally designing ternary transition-metal phosphides (TMPs) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is desirable but remains a significant challenge. Herein, ternary FeCoNiP encapsulated in a porous carbon shell, coupled with N-doped carbon nanotubes (FeCoNiP@NCNTs) are synthesized via a simple pyrolysis–phosphatization strategy derived from FeCoNi-MOF-100@dicyandiamide. Because Co/Ni enters the FeP lattice, FeCoNiP@NCNTs show a favorable catalytic performance towards the HER with low overpotential values of 86.7 and 233.5 mV at 10 mA cm−2 in acidic and alkaline media, respectively, surpassing the HER performance of FeP@NCNTs, FeCoP@NCNTs, and FeNiP@NCNTs. Impressively, FeCoNiP@NCNTs display adequate acid-resistance capacity during the HER process, with nearly negligible decay due to the thin graphitized carbon shell structure with a thickness of 11.5–20.3 nm. The results of experiments, structural characterization, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that Co/Ni co-doping can modulate the adsorption and dissociation processes of H+ and downshift the d-band center of FeP. This work proposes a strategy for fabricating ternary TMP catalysts with heterogeneous structures for the HER.

In this study, a catalytic-type combustible gas sensor was fabricated by the screen-printing method. Pt supported catalysts (Pt-HZSM5) were prepared by a wet impregnation method using HZSM5 zeolite as support. It was found that Pt-HZSM5 catalysts have a highly catalytic activity to H 2 and CO at low temperatures and a selectively and fully combustible was observed at only 150 °C. A good dispersion state of Pt nanoparticles on HZSM5 zeolite particles was beneficial for the catalytic oxidization of CO and H 2 . However, a high loading amounts lead to a poor dispersion state and a weak catalytic activity. The thick film sensor based on Pt-HZSM5 catalyst was found to be highly sensitive to combustible gas with a good linearity up to 2% and a limitation of detection (LOD) around 50 ppm. Due to the low operation temperature, a highly selectivity was obtained for CO and H 2 and no cross-sensitivity to interfering gases such as CH 4 and VOCs. It was indicated that the present developed catalytic-type gas sensors could be used for the leakage detection and monitor for H 2 and CO with a low power consumption and a good selectivity.

Tailoring the surface properties of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is essential for the advancement of its applications. However, the modification process is usually complicated and limited due to the chemical inertness of the surfaces of PDMS. Here, we report for the first time, a facile and versatile method for the functional surface modification of PDMS via visible light-induced grafting polymerization at room temperature. This modification is readily achieved in two steps: (1) covalently integrating alkyl bromine into the PDMS networks using a simple mixing procedure and (2) visible light-induced surface grafting polymerization using Mn2(CO)10. We have demonstrated that the PDMS surface can be functionalized with a wide variety of polymers via covalent grafting, such as poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate) (PTFEMA), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). As an example, after the grafted PVAc was transformed into its hydrophilic analogue poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), anti-biofouling functionalization of PDMS was obtained. The anti-biofouling properties of the functionalized PDMS were demonstrated using cell adhesion and bacterial adhesion tests. Moreover, the grafting kinetics of PVAc showed that this process was fast and efficient.

Developing high-efficiency bifunctional materials for electro-catalysis and supercapacitors are urgently needed but challenging. Herein, we develop a self-supporting Co–Ni LDH electrode prepared by in-situ growing ZIF-L(Co)@ZIF-L(Co, Ni) on carbon paper followed by a pseudomorphic transformation. The optimized Co–Ni LDH/carbon paper electrodes (CN-2/CP) exhibit excellent electrochemical activity and stability in oxygen evolution reactions (OER) and supercapacitors. The CN-2/CP electrode displays a low overpotential of 230 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and superior stability at 40-h chronopotentiometry for OER. For supercapacitor, the CN-2/CP electrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 1346 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and maintains a capacitance of 88.5% after 7000 charge/discharge cycles at 20 A g −1 . Based on the physical and chemical characterization results, the high performance originates from the in-situ electrochemical conversion of metal hydroxide , improved conductivity, fast charge transfer at the interface and unique layered cross morphology providing more active sites.

Graphical From tannic acid to water splitting : Amorphous Co−P/Co−N−C supported on N, P co-doped porous carbon (Co−P/Co−N−C/NPC) with a large specific surface area and abundant reactive sites is prepared. The material exhibits outstanding catalytic performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, η =234 mV at 10 mA cm −2 ), oxygen evolution reaction (OER, η =374 mV at 10 mA cm −2 ), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR, E 1/2 =0.89 V, vs. RHE). It remains a tremendous challenge to develop a low-cost, earth-abundant, and efficient catalyst with multifunctional activities for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, a facile and scalable avenue was developed to prepare amorphous Co−P/Co−N−C supported on N, P co-doped porous carbon (Co−P/Co−N−C/NPC) with a large specific surface area (1462.9 m 2 g −1 ) and abundant reactive sites including Co−P, Co−N and NPC. The prepared electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic performance for HER ( η =234 mV at 10 mA cm −2 ), OER ( η =374 mV at 10 mA cm −2 ), and ORR ( E 1/2 =0.89 V, vs. reversible hydrogen electrode). Benefiting from the excellent HER performance and outstanding OER activity, the Co−P/Co−N−C/NPC delivers a current density of 10 mA cm −2 for overall water splitting at a cell voltage of 1.59 V, which is comparable with the IrO 2 –Pt/C couple electrode.

Three samples, LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 , LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Co 0.2 O 4 , and LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 , were prepared by sol–gel method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscope, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, four-probe resistance, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and charge–discharge test. It is found that the co-doped sample LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 exhibits an improved performance compared with the Co-doped sample LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Co 0.2 O 4 and the undoped sample LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 , especially at elevated temperature. At 25 °C, the discharge capacity of LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 is 130 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C and 103 mAh g −1 at 10 C. At an elevated temperature (55 °C), its 1 C discharge capacity is 136 mAh g −1 and maintains 95.6 % of its initial capacity after 100 cycles. Compared with the reported results of LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Co 0.2 O 4 and LiNi 0.475 Mn 1.475 Co 0.05 O 4 , the co-doped sample LiNi 0.4 Mn 1.4 Cr 0.15 Co 0.05 O 4 , with least content of Co, 0.05, possesses not only the high C-rate capacity but also the structural stability. The mechanism on the electrochemical performance improvement of LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 by the co-doping was discussed.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial step in fuel cells and metal-air batteries. It is necessary to expand the range of efficient non-precious ORR electrocatalysts on account of the low abundance and high cost of Pt/C catalysts. Herein, we synthesized crystalline cobalt-embedded N-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@CNTs-T) via facile carbonization of Co/Zn metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with dicyandiamide at different temperatures (t = 600, 700, 800, 900 °C). Co@CNTs- 800 possessed excellent ORR activities in alkaline electrolytes with a half wave potential of 0.846 V vs. RHE (Reversible Hydrogen Electrode), which was comparable to Pt/C. This three-dimensional network, formed by Co@CNTs-T, facilitated electron migration and ion diffusion during the ORR process. The carbon shell surrounding the Co nanoparticles resulted in Co@CNTs-800 being stable as an electrocatalyst. This work provides a new strategy to design efficient and low-cost oxygen catalysts.Keywords:metal-organic frameworks;N-doped carbon;oxygen reduction reaction

In this report, a reductive-heat-treated platinum tungsten oxide catalyst was prepared to improve the CO electro-oxidation activity and employed in the electrochemical sensor. Tungsten oxide was proved to be an effective co-catalyst for CO sensing and the strong interaction between platinum and tungsten oxide has been enhanced by the reductive heat treatment. As a result, the significant negative shift of CO oxidation potential was confirmed by an electrochemical characterization. Further, the sensing performance of the as-prepared catalyst was investigated by means of the portable CO sensor device, which showed higher sensitivity, faster response time and good linearity within 50 ppm CO.

The cobalt−carbonate (CoCi)/NiFeOOH double-layer co-catalyst was prepared on bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ). Compared with the same type of electrode (Co−Pi/NiFeOOH/BiVO 4 and Co−Sil/NiFeOOH/BiVO 4 ), the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of the composite electrode presents the most excellent performance. The Co−Ci/NiFeOOH/BiVO 4 electrode prepared by photoelectric deposition (PED) achieves a photocurrent density of 4.1 mA/cm 2 at 1.23 V vs RHE, and the applied bias photon-current efficiency (ABPE) is up to 0.95%. In addition, with the help of the equivalent circuit fitting in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the charge transfer resistance ( R ct ) of Co−Ci/NiFeOOH/BiVO 4 is only 108.9 Ω, which is 16% that of BiVO 4 . The enhanced PEC performance of Co−Ci/NiFeOOH/BiVO 4 in the double-layer cocatalyst system is attributed to the outstanding advantages of Co−Ci cocatalyst in oxygen vacancy defects, superior to other cobalt-based catalysts in promoting charge transfer and improving the kinetics of water oxidation. This makes Co−Ci co-catalyst become one of the favorable competitors in the field of photoelectric catalysis.

Temperature-responsive P(NIPAM- co -HMAM)- b -PEO- b -P(NIPAM- co -HMAM) triblock copolymers were synthesized by an atomic transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method without freeze–pump–thaw cycles. The composition, structure, and molecular weight of the synthesized block copolymer were characterized by 1 H NMR and GPC. The phase transitions induced by temperature for different copolymers in dilute aqueous solutions have been studied using transmittance measurements, laser particle size measurements, viscosity analysis, and surface tension measurement, which showed that the HMAM content and the PEO (or PEG) chain length in the synthesized triblock copolymer affects the copolymer’s lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The micellization behavior of each temperature-responsive triblock copolymer was investigated by fluorescence probe measurements and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which showed that the triblock copolymers form stable micelles above the LCST. The introduction of the HMAM component and the formation of micelles represent the first steps in the development of an injectable gel that forms in situ through chemical and physical crosslinking.

The Ni@SNC catalyst was prepared through a two-step pyrolysis-solvothermal method. • Sulfur species selectively etched amorphous carbon layers, exposing more active sites during doping. • Sulfur, as a doping atom, modulated the electronic structure of the active sites and enhanced the CO 2 RR performance. • The Ni@SNC catalyst achieved a maximum FE CO of 94.6%, with a current density of 13.4 mA cm -2 at this point. Utilizing renewable energy to catalyze the reduction of CO 2 into diverse high-value products represents an effective pathway for mitigating carbon emissions. Nickel-based catalysts benefit from natural abundance and low cost. Moreover, their CO 2 activation capability and *CO desorption characteristics can be optimized through rational structural design to modulate the adsorption energy of reaction intermediates. These properties make them viable alternatives to noble metal catalysts. In this study, a two-step method termed “pyrolysis-doping” was employed to synthesize the Ni@SNC catalyst, which consists of small-sized Ni nanoparticles supported on S N co-doped carbon, facilitating efficient electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). In the Ni@SNC structure, the coordination of surface Ni nanoparticles with N generates active sites, while S doping modulates the electronic state of these sites to optimize the adsorption of *COOH and the desorption of *CO. Performance tests indicated that Ni@SNC achieved a maximum CO Faradaic efficiency (FE CO ) of 94.6% at −0.9 V (vs. RHE), with a corresponding CO partial current density (j CO ) of 13.4 mA cm −2 , while exhibiting excellent stability during an extended electrolysis. Various characterizations and experiments have shown that S doping selectively etched the carbon layer, thereby increasing the electrochemically active area (ECSA). Furthermore, S doping modulated the electronic configuration of Ni N sites, enhancing the balance between adsorption and desorption of reaction intermediates. This work thus provides a new design method for creating efficient and stable non-precious metal CO 2 reduction catalysts. Download: Download high-res image (149KB) Download: Download full-size image

The spillover of oxygen species is fundamentally important in redox reactions, but the spillover mechanism has been less understood compared to that of hydrogen spillover. Herein Sn is doped into TiO 2 to activate low-temperature (<100 °C) reverse oxygen spillover in Pt/TiO 2 catalyst, leading to CO oxidation activity much higher than that of most oxide-supported Pt catalysts. A combination of near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in situ Raman/Infrared spectroscopies, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the reverse oxygen spillover is triggered by CO adsorption at Pt 2+ sites, followed by bond cleavage of Ti-O-Sn moieties nearby and the appearance of Pt 4+ species. The O in the catalytically indispensable Pt-O species is energetically more favourable to be originated from Ti-O-Sn. This work clearly depicts the interfacial chemistry of reverse oxygen spillover that is triggered by CO adsorption, and the understanding is helpful for the design of platinum/titania catalysts suitable for reactions of various reactants.
