Effect of the molecular structure of lignin-based polyoxyethylene ether (EHL–PEG) on enzymatic hydrolysis of Avicel and corn stover was investigated. With the increase of PEG contents and molecular weight of EHL–PEG, glucose yield of corn stover increased. EHL–PEG enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover significantly at buffer pH 4.8–5.5. Glucose yield of corn stover at 20% solid content increased from 32.8% to 63.8% by adding EHL–PEG, while that with PEG4600 was 54.2%. Effect of EHL–PEG on enzymatic hydrolysis kinetics of cellulose film was studied by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). An enhancing mechanism of EHL–PEG on enzymatic hydrolysis kinetics of cellulose was proposed. Cellulase aggregates dispersed by EHL–PEG excavated extensive cavities into the surface of cellulose film, making the film become more loose and exposed. After the maximum enzymatic hydrolysis rate, the film was mainly peeled off layer by layer until equilibrium.

In this paper, a facile bio-templating method is proposed to prepare NiCoP coated on amorphous carbon (NiCoP@AC) composite electrode materials with using bagasse as template and carbon source. NiCoP nanowire network arrays precursors coating on bagasse substrate with high yield were prepared via a novel synthesis strategy utilizing the toluene-water interface reaction process, which subsequently formed as NiCoP@AC composite electrode materials after phosphating process. The assembled core-shell structure attenuated the volume expansion during charging and discharging, additionally, the overall electrical conductivity of the composite was also improved owing to the characteristic of bagasse biochar. The NiCoP@AC electrode exhibited high specific capacitance (1706 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 ), outstanding rate capability (82.1 % capacity retention from 1 to 20 A g −1 ) and good cycling stability (retaining 80.0 % capacitance over 5000 cycles). In addition, bagasse biomass activated carbon (BAC) was prepared via a typical alkaline activation process for the use as negative electrode. The as-fabricated NiCoP@AC//BAC supercapacitor displayed a high energy density of 46.2 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 807.3 W kg −1 , and an excellent capacitance retention rate (88.5 % after 5000 cycles), suggesting that the as-prepared NiCoP@AC electrode materials have wide application prospects in high-performance supercapacitors.

Developing cost-effective ruthenium (Ru)-based HER electrocatalysts as alternatives to commercial Pt/C is crucial for the advancement of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, the strong hydrogen adsorption of Ru-based catalysts restricts its activity. Herein, a strategy is reported to tune the electronic structure and improve mass transfer by implanting Ru atoms onto the (002) facet of two-dimensional zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (Ru@ L ZIF (002) ) to optimize the d -band center ( ε d ) of Ru and the hydrogen spillover behavior. Benefiting from the ultrathin nanosheet structure and optimized ε d of Ru, the over-strong H adsorption energy is weakened and the electron/mass transfer is facilitated. Ru@ L ZIF (002) exhibits an overpotential of 9.2 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a long-lasting stability of 35 days at 100 mA cm −2 . The mass activity and price activity of Ru@ L ZIF (002) is 2.9 and 14.7 times higher than Pt/C, respectively. More impressively, Ru@ L ZIF (002) delivers a cell voltage of 2.01 V at a high current density of 4 A cm −2 in PEMWE. The excellent long-term durability of 1200 hours operating at 4 A cm −2 with an ultralow decay rate of 7.5 × 10 −3 mV h −1 has been achieved, making it promising as a cost-effective alternative to Pt/C catalyst for PEMWE applications.

One-dimensional (1D) atomically thin crystals have attracted considerable interest due to their unique properties and potential applications. Herein, the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanoribbons on sapphire(0001) supported monolayer MoS 2 flakes without catalysts as well as the characterizations by means of Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, optical microscopy (OM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The Raman and PL results is reported, as well as OM images reveal that such MoS 2 nanoribbons grow on monolayer MoS 2 flakes. STEM and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) results reveal that they are grown along the 〈 10 1 ¯ 0 〉 direction with atomically sharp edges. Controlled experiments show that the deficiency of sulfur vapor at the beginning of growth induced 1D MoO x S 2− x crystals as precursors. The subsequent sulfurization changes them into MoS 2 nanoribbons. These findings provide a facile approach to MoS 2 nanoribbons and enrich the horizon of the preparation of nanostructured transition metal dichalcogenides.

The development of metal ion-intercalated active materials for excellent electrochemical performance in rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is challenging. The structure instability and intrinsic electrostatic repulsion of the lattice framework cause structural breakdown and low-rate performance. In response to these problems, yttrium vanadium oxide–poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT@YVO) composite is reported as stable cathode material for AZIBs. The introduction of PEDOT in YVO nanorods improves the crystalline structure with an enlarged interplanar lattice spacing of 3.4 Å. The PEDOT@YVO composite electrode demonstrates effective electric conductivity and a higher initial specific capacity of 308.5 mAh g −1 than that (125.5 mAh g −1 ) of the pure YVO at 0.2 C rate. It also features a long-term stable discharge–charge cycle performance of 4000 cycles with a capacity retention of 79.2% at 1C rate, better than YVO (29.4 mAh g −1 ). The oxygen vacancies and improved electrical conductivity of the composite account for the invigorated electrochemical performance. Consequently, this work reveals another avenue for constructing unique electrodes to enhance the electrochemical properties of AZIBs.

Researchers are accustomed to utilizing traditional solid-state and sol–gel routes to synthesize Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP). No regulation mechanism is proposed to illustrate the growth process of NVP in solvothermal environment. In current work, uniform spherical particles with positive charge are synthesized by molecular self-assembly of nanosphere micelles using structural guiding agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) and surfactant Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Nanoflower-shaped NVP sample is successfully prepared in the 100 % methyl alcohol medium, derived from the plate V 2 O 5 (negative charge) combining with the nuclear nanospheres (positive charge) with the induction of electrostatic attraction. Based on the multi-dimensional tests and molecular dynamic calculation, the protective mechanism of polar solution for NVP system is proposed for the first time, that is, methanol solvent system can better protect the morphological features of NVP than water environment to maintain the original special nanoflower morphology. Due to the distinctive and stabilized nanoflower construction, the optimized NVP60 sample can provide more extra active sites for the efficient de-intercalation of Na + and possess a large contacting area with electrolyte, resulting in the facilitated kinetic characteristics and superior electrochemical performance. The optimized NVP60 cathode possesses superior sodium storage property in both half cell and full cell. This work proposes a synergetic strategy combining theory and experiment to design and synthesize the modified NVP-based cathode materials from the molecular bonding aspect, further promoting the development of high performance cathode for SIBs.

High-molecular-weight bulky-block poly(fluorenyl ether thioether ketone)s were successfully synthesized by a two steps one-pot protocol using N,N′ -dimethy- S -carbamate masked dithiols for vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) application. The followed sulfonation procedure gave birth to novel sulfonated block poly(fluorenyl ether thioether ketone)s (SPFETKs) with controlled ionic exchange capacities (IEC). Membranes with proton conductivities higher than (IEC > 1.66 mequiv. g −1 ) or comparable to (IEC < 1.66 mequiv. g −1 ) that of Nafion117 membrane were achieved. The VO 2+ permeabilities of SPFETKs membranes were much lower than that of Nafion117 membrane. The thermal properties, mechanical properties, oxidative stability , water uptake, proton conductivity, VO 2+ permeability and cell performance were investigated in detail.

Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), which combine the advantages of solid polymer electrolytes and inorganic solid electrolytes, are considered to be promising electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, the current CSEs suffer from defects such as poor inorganic/organic interface compatibility, lithium dendrite growth, and easy damage of electrolyte membrane, which hinder the practical application of CSEs. Herein, a CSE (PBHL@LLZTO@DDB) with polyurethane (PBHL) as the polymer matrix and Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) modified by silane coupling agent (DDB) as inorganic fillers (LLZTO@DDB) has been prepared. Disulfide bond exchange reactions between PBHL and LLZTO@DDB enable PBHL@LLZTO@DDB to form a dynamic three-dimensional (3D) inorganic/organic hybrid network, which promotes the uniform dispersion of LLZTO in PBHL@LLZTO@DDB, improves the Li + conductivity (1.24 ± 0.08 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 30 ℃), and broadens the electrochemical stability window (5.16 V vs. Li + /Li). Moreover, a combination of hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds endows PBHL@LLZTO@DDB with excellent self-healing properties. As such, both all-solid-state symmetric and full cells exhibit excellent cycle performance at ambient temperature. More importantly, the healed PBHL@LLZTO@DDB can almost completely restore its original electrochemical properties, indicating its application potential in flexible electronic products.

Tremendous demands for highly sensitive and selective nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensors have motivated intensive research on advanced electrode materials with high electrocatalytic activity. Herein, the 3D-networked CuO@carbon nanowalls/diamond (C/D) architecture is rationally designed, and it demonstrates wide linear range (0.5 × 10 −6 –4 × 10 −3 m ), high sensitivity (1650 µA cm −2 m m −1 ), and low detection limit (0.5 × 10 −6 m ), together with high selectivity, great long-term stability, and good reproducibility in glucose determination. The outstanding performance of the CuO@C/D electrode can be ascribed to the synergistic effect coming from high-electrocatalytic-activity CuO nanoparticles and 3D-networked conductive C/D film. The C/D film is composed of carbon nanowalls and diamond nanoplatelets; and owing to the large surface area, accessible open surfaces, and high electrical conduction, it works as an excellent transducer, greatly accelerating the mass- and charge-transport kinetics of electrocatalytic reaction on the CuO biorecognition element. Besides, the vertical aligned diamond nanoplatelet scaffolds could improve structural and mechanical stability of the designed electrode in long-term performance. The excellent CuO@C/D electrode promises potential application in practical glucose detection, and the strategy proposed here can also be extended to construct other biorecognition elements on the 3D-networked conductive C/D transducer for various high-performance nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensors.

The compositions and structures of amine-based functionalized protic ionic liquids (PILs), namely N,N-dimethyl(cyanoethyl)ammonium propionate (DMCEAP) and N,N-dimethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium propionate (DMEOAP) have been investigated systematically by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Analysis of the IR spectra suggests that both DMCEAP and DMEOAP are composed of neutral and ionized species in the liquid phase, the former one mainly existing in the state of precursor molecules, and the latter mainly as ion-pairs. The ratio of precursor molecules to ion-pairs in the liquid phase depends on the types of precursors, especially the functional groups of cations. 1H NMR spectra indicate that there is a dynamic equilibrium between the neutral and ionized species, probably due to the formation of some intermediates in the PILs. The DFT calculations have been carried out to reveal the conformation, and obtain the corresponding IR and 1H NMR spectra of the neutral and ionized species, so that the theoretical support to the experimental results can be provided. The present study will help understand the properties of PILs and provide guidance for further applications of PILs.

In order to allow polyimide (PI) to resist the erosion of atomic oxygen (AO) in Low Earth Orbit to extend the life of the aircraft, an in-situ precursor network approach was proposed to manufacture the inorganic gradient microstructure across the organic/inorganic transition interface and simplify the process, which create a three-tier microstructure film and lead the dense SiO 2 protective layer firmly grasps the PI film. Benefiting from the integrated structure, SiO 2 -coated PI film shows remarkable surface and interface state after 3000 times mechanical bending, which able to delay the initial AO corrosion caused by the defect of the protective layer, resistance to AO reported as AO erosion yield of 2.39 × 10 −26 cm 3 O atom −1 under 7 × 10 21 O atoms cm −2 AO fluence. This work proposes a novel approach for the fabrication of high-performance and AO resistant PI to enable the aircraft to complete more efficient and highly integrated flight missions and shows great potential in the general preparation of organic-inorganic interface.
