In light of electromagnetic pollution caused by the excessive or unregulated use of electromagnetic waves (EMWs), there is an urgent requirement to identify economical EMWs absorption materials. However, the facing challenge lies in the precise design of microstructure and the controlled tuning of electromagnetic parameters. Herein, natural cottonwood fiber was converted into carbon fiber (CF) through optimized pyrolysis, followed by the synthesis of CFs@Co 3 O 4 /Co(OH) 2 composites via in situ hydrothermal method. Ingenious structural design, multi-faceted synergy and heterogeneous interfaces endowed the CFs@Co 3 O 4 /Co(OH) 2 composites with exceptional impedance matching and electromagnetic loss, showing outstanding EMWs absorption ability. The CFs@Co 3 O 4 /Co(OH) 2 sample (CF S @Co-25) with 2.5 mm thickness displayed a maximum reflection loss ( RL max ) of −78.7 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth ( EAB ) of 9.9 GHz. At 3.0 mm matching thickness, the impedance matching value ( Z ) reached 0.99, with an RL max of −105.3 dB. This work offers a scalable and economical approach to developing high-performance carbon-based EMWs absorbers.

Micro/nanomotors have demonstrated significant potential in environmental monitoring and water remediation owing to their enzyme-like catalytic properties and self-driven ability. Herein, we developed a conical Co(OH) 2 @MnO 2 micromotor through an integrated oil bath-hydrothermal synthesis strategy. The micromotors feature MnO 2 nanosheets arranged in a two-dimensional cross-array architecture on their microconical surfaces, which effectively catalyze H 2 O 2 decomposition to produce oxygen bubbles, enabling robust self-propulsion. The speed of the micromotor can reach 138.59 ± 2.03 μm/s in7 wt% H 2 O 2 solution. The combination of excellent enzyme-like activity and self-driven ability of micromotor constructs a dynamic sensitive detection platform for resveratrol (RES, 3,4′,5-trihydroxystilbene), a potential pollutant in water, with a low concentration detection limit of 0.23 μM. In addition, hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) were used as catalytic substrates to catalyze the micromotor to generate various reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus achieving efficient synergistic degradation of resveratrol. Under neutral pH conditions, the degradation rate of resveratrol by the micromotors was 91.6% within 40 min. This study provides an intelligent strategy for developing dynamic sensors with the dual functions of detecting and degrading RES simultaneously.

Ammonia (NH3) is a common air pollutant and is a biomarker for kidney disease. Therefore, the preparation of ammonia gas sensors with high sensitivity, good selectivity and low operating temperature is of great importance for health protection. Using the in situ electrostatic self-assembly approach, a chemoresistive gas sensor based on Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid material was created in this study. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM, BET and other testing methods for structure, surface topography and elements. These samples were fabricated into sensors, and the gas sensing properties of the materials were investigated under different test conditions. The results show that the gas response value of the C/M-2 sensor is up to about 14.7%/100 ppm, which is three times the response value of the sensor made of pure MXene to NH3. In addition, the Co(OH)2/Ti3C2Tx hybrid sensors exhibit excellent repeatability, high sensitivity under low concentration (less than 5 ppm), fast response/recovery time (29 s/49 s) and long-time stability, which indicates their promising utility in the IoT field.

Large-area three-dimensional (3D) well-ordered Co(OH)2 nanoflower array films decorated with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with a novel structure were designed as sensitive SERS substrates for trace detection of pesticides. Co(OH)2 nanoflowers were electrodeposited on the surface of molded polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films with ordered nanopillar arrays and then Ag NPs were sputtered onto of the surface of each Co(OH)2 nanoflower. The SERS performance of the as-prepared films can be optimized by tuning the Ag-sputtering duration and the morphology of the Co(OH)2 nanoflower arrays. Owing to the formation of high-density SERS “hotspots” created in the nanogaps between the adjacent Ag NPs located on the same and neighbouring Co(OH)2 nanosheets, the optimized substrates show SERS activity for probe molecules. As a result, 10−11 M rhodamine 6G and 10−9 M 4-aminothiophenol can be SERS recognized, respectively. To verify their practical application, the optimized SERS substrates were employed for trace detection of thiram (a type of pesticide), and 10−9 M thiram can be recognized, showing great potential in pesticide detection.

Developing efficient and inexpensive catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is critical for the commercial viability of electrochemical sustainable energy technologies. In this study, a La-CoP/Co(OH)2 nanoarray supported on nickel foam (NF) was successfully prepared using the secondary hydrothermal and low-temperature phosphating method. The as-prepared La-CoP/Co(OH)2/NF material exhibited excellent hydrogen evolution performance in 1 M KOH solution. The overpotential of La-CoP/Co(OH)2/NF was 114 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm−2, and the Tafel slope was estimated to be 99 mV dec−1. The decoration of Co(OH)2 nanosheets on La-CoP nanorods with the textured surface not only provides a large surface area and more active sites but also promotes the transfer of electrons between Co(OH)2 and La-CoP, which accelerates the reaction rate and further improve the HER performance of the composite material. Additionally, the fabricated catalyst exhibits good stability and durability in alkaline media. This approach provides a feasible and effective strategy for exploring electrocatalysts with high efficiency and low prices for the electrolysis of water.

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 .

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.

Co(OH)2 nanosheets/Cu(OH)2 nanorods composite electrodes for non-enzymatic glucose detection were fabricated by electrodepositing Co(OH)2 nanosheets on Cu(OH)2 nanorods substrate grown directly on the copper sheet via a simple one-step reaction. The Co(OH)2 nanosheets/Cu(OH)2 nanorods composite electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The glucose sensing performance of the composite electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The composite electrode shows high sensitivity of 2366 µA mM−1 cm−2 up to 2 mM with a lower detection limit of 0.17 mM (S/N = 3). The composite electrode is highly selective to glucose in the presence of various substances that always co-exist with glucose in real blood samples. The response of the composite towards human blood serum was in good agreement with that of commercially available glucose sensors, suggesting that a promising electrode material for highly sensitive and selective non enzymatic detection of glucose can be envisioned.

Highly efficient and low-cost non-noble metal based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) have attracted more and more attention in recent years. However, the current research has been focused on the construction of novel OER electrocatalysts themselves, little attention has been paid to the modification of the substrates. In this work, a different strategy is proposed via laser ablation to fabricate the Cu foams with rich micro/nano-structures as OER substrates. Later, the precipitation conversion method was utilized to grow cobalt hydroxide on the laser fabricated Cu foams. The as-produced Cu/Cu oxides/Co(OH)2 electrocatalysts exhibit high OER activity in 1 M KOH, requiring an overpotential of only 259 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm−2 with excellent mild-term durability. The improved catalytic performance of the prepared samples can be attributed to the increased surface area, rich active sites, and the superhydrophilicity of the laser produced micro/nano-structures.

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.

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.
