For continuing to explore new high-entropy materials, the first high-entropy ilmenite-phase titanate, (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 , is synthesized in this work, further introducing a new crystal structure type for high-entropy ceramics. The uniform chemical composition and typical ilmenite-phase structure of high-entropy (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 are verified by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, and XPS. Homogeneous element distribution and magnetically-coupled atomic arrangement are further performed using Rietveld refinement, Raman spectral fitting, and high-resolution STEM. On this basis, complementary density functional theory simulation with Hubbard correction (DFT + U) is conducted to reveal the band structure and a 2.529 eV bandgap of high-entropy (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 , thereby enhancing the potential for high emissivity and electronic applications. Excellent thermal stability at 1000–1200 °C, a low thermal conductivity of 2.365 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹ at room temperature, a high hemispherical emissivity of 0.93 within the 3–14 μm wavelength range, and a low dielectric constant of 22.23 are also demonstrated.

Alkaline nickel-zinc batteries have attracted more attention due to their inherent safety and high specific energy. However, the cycling stability of Ni–Zn batteries is still an urgent problem. Herein, we fabricate the Ni 12 P 5 @PANI core-shell structure by polyaniline cladding on the Ni 12 P 5 nanowires . The polyaniline not only effectively improves the specific capacity of Ni 12 P 5 , but also greatly enhances the cyclic stability. The optimized Ni 12 P 5 @PANI nanowires provide a specific capacity of 272.8 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 (189.2 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 , 69.4% retention rate) and long-life cycling (93% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 10 A g −1 ). Moreover, the theoretical calculations indicate that the polyaniline is easy to polymerize on the surface of Ni 12 P 5 , and the lower formation energy verifies that the polyaniline shell layer can effectively promote the structural stability of Ni 12 P 5 , thus enhancing the cycle life. In addition, the assembled Ni 12 P 5 @PANI//Zn battery retains 112.3% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 3 A g −1 , and provides a high energy density of 287.9 Wh kg −1 and power density of 49.1 kW kg −1 (based on the mass of active substance). This work provides a feasible high-rate and durable cathode material for alkaline Ni–Zn batteries.

Water electrolysis has been acknowledged as a renewable, scalable, and effective way of producing hydrogen . However, for water splitting, efficient and noble metal-free electrocatalysts were lacking. Here, a Co–Ni–Zn porous three-dimension N-doped carbonization structure on the carbon nanotube film (CNTF) was synthesized through a metal organic frameworks (MOFs) annealing procedure. The porous morphology, caused by the evaporation of zinc at high temperatures, enhances the interaction between the catalysts and electrolyte, and the self-supporting structure minimizes the contact resistance between the catalysts and the substrate, which reduces obstructions during current flow. More active sites, multiple mesopores, and high conductivity are all features of this composite structure. It can achieve a small overpotential of 112 mV and 270 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , respectively, for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER). At a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , the Co–Ni–Zn/NCNTF has an external voltage of 1.58 V and is very durable for overall water splitting.

Nickel–zinc batteries are promising candidates for safe, cost-effective, and high-power energy storage. However, the poor cycling stability of zinc anodes, mainly caused by dendrite growth and dissolution, remains a major challenge for their practical application. Herein, carbon-coated nano-ZnO (ZnO@C) composites were synthesized via a sol–gel method using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and zinc acetate as precursors. By systematically tuning the carbon content, the ZnO@C-6 sample with a carbon-to-ZnO mass ratio of 1:6 exhibited the best structural and electrochemical performance. Characterization confirmed a uniform amorphous carbon layer that enhanced conductivity and inhibited ZnO dissolution. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that ZnO@C-6 exhibited high reversible capacity (500 mAh g−1at 12 C after 1000 cycles), coulombic efficiency (>80%), and superior rate capability up to 30 C. Post-cycling SEM confirmed that the carbon coating effectively inhibits dendrite formation and preserves electrode morphology. These findings highlight the critical role of carbon coatings in stabilizing ZnO-based anodes and offer a viable pathway toward high-performance Ni-Zn batteries.

The development of an efficient metal sulfide cathode is of great importance and an ongoing challenge for the practical application of an aqueous rechargeable Ni-Zn battery. Herein, Ni3S2 nanosheets with abundant sulfur vacancies (r-Ni3S2) have been successfully prepared via hydrothermal reaction and surface engineering, which are further employed as the binder-free cathode of the aqueous Ni-Zn battery. Benefitting from the features of substantially improved electrical conductivity, low band gap, abundant active sites, and good intrinsic capacity, the r-Ni3S2 electrode delivers an impressive reversible specific capacitance (1621.6 F g–1 at 0.2 A g–1) and extraordinary rate capability (62.1% retention under 8 A g–1). Moreover, the aqueous rechargeable r-Ni3S2//Zn battery exhibits a remarkable specific capacity (240.8 mAh g–1 at 1 A g–1) and preeminent cycling durability (only 8.4% decay after 3000 cycles). Besides, a glorious energy density of 419.6 Wh kg–1 together with a peak power density of 1.84 kW kg–1 could be achieved, surpassing a significant percentage of the reported Ni-Zn batteries. The results reveal that the r-Ni3S2 cathode with abundant sulfur vacancies and the adopted facile approach possesses huge promotion potential for Ni-Zn batteries and is promising to numerous electronics and electric vehicle applications in the future.

With the rapid advancement of power electronics toward high-frequency and miniaturization, there is an urgent demand for soft magnetic composites (SMCs) that possess both high permeability and low core loss. Herein, a novel Cr-O&(Ni,Zn)Fe 2 O 4 synergistic hybrid insulation was synthesized on FeSiBCCr amorphous powders via sequential hydrothermal and chemical co-precipitation methods. The oxygen partial pressure during annealing was optimized using 0.8 wt.% carbon powder to enhance the crystallinity and magnetic properties of the ferrite insulating coating. The resulting SMCs exhibited a saturation magnetization ( M s ) of 140.0 emu/g and an effective permeability ( μ e ) of 35.03. Notably, the core loss P 50mT/1MHz was reduced to 2143.10 mW/cm 3 , which is 50.72% lower than that of the core sample prepared by using raw powder without ferrite insulating coating. This synergistic hybrid insulation effectively suppresses inter-particle eddy currents and reduces domain wall pinning, offering a high-performance solution for high-frequency power electronics.

The development of semiconductor-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates is often hindered by their limited sensitivity. Crystal facet engineering has been recognized as an effective strategy to improve the SERS performance of semiconductors. However, the underlying mechanism by which different exposed facets influence SERS activity in bimetallic oxide systems remains unexplored. In this study, we successfully synthesized NiCo 2 O 4 and ZnCo 2 O 4 bimetallic oxides with distinct exposed facets by regulating the alkali source. When evaluated using 4-Nitrothiophenol (4-NBT) as a probe molecule, the {110} facet demonstrated the highest SERS activity in both oxide systems. The enhancement factors (EF) reached 5.56 × 10 4 for NiCo 2 O 4 and 7.41 × 10 4 for ZnCo 2 O 4 . The limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 10 −7 M and 10 −8 M, respectively, as well as the excellent repeatability and stability. Energy level structure reveals that the superior SERS properties on the {110} facet can attributed to their higher VB maxima, which enhances the thermodynamic driving force and kinetic efficiency of the interfacial charge transfer (CT) process. Moreover, first-principles calculations further illustrate that the CT efficiency on the {110} facet can be effectively improved. This work provides a clear new direction for designing high-performance semiconductor SERS substrates through precise facet control.

Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 has a high theoretical specific capacitance, low cost, and environmental friendliness, making it a promising electrode material. Specifically, Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 electrodes have a larger layer spacing (c = 6.898 Å) than Ni(OH)2 electrodes since NO3− has a much larger ionic radius than OH−. The larger layer spacing stores more electrolyte ions, significantly improving the electrochemical activity of the electrodes. Additionally, the interlayer NO3− can enhance the structural stability of Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4. However, since Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 has a higher molar mass than Ni(OH)2, it has a lower theoretical specific capacity. Consequently, Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 has not been used in zinc-based alkaline batteries. Studies showed that doping could enhance the electrochemical performance of electrode materials. Therefore, this study used a simple solvothermal reaction to synthesize yttrium-doped Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 (Y-Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4), assembling a Y-Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4//Zn battery for electrochemical testing. Y-Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 served as the cathode in the battery. The analysis of Y-Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 showed that yttrium (Y) doping increased the specific surface area and pore size of Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4 significantly. The increased specific surface area improved the active material utilization, and the abundant mesopores facilitated OH− transport, substantially enhancing the battery's specific capacity and energy density. Ultimately, the specific discharge capacity of the advanced Y-Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4//Zn battery reached 177.97 mA h g−1 at a current density of 4 A g−1, nearly doubling the capacity of the earlier Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4//Zn battery (103.59 mA h g−1).

Among post-lithium ion batteries, magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) are receiving growing attention due to their divalent nature, intrinsic low cost, dendrite free cycling, and atmospheric stability. However, their realization is constrained because of the absence of suitable cathodes that can accommodate Mg2+ with fast reversibility. To bypass the sluggish movement of Mg2+ ions inside the cathode and utilize the full advantage of the Mg anode, a Mg2+/Li+ hybrid ion battery (MLIB) is introduced here with rationally designed porous Ni/Zn co-doped CoS2@C spheres as the cathode material. The Ni/Zn-CoS2@C cathode with high porosity and electrical conductivity showed an appreciable specific capacity of 158 mA h g−1 at 20 mA g−1 for MIBs, which was significantly boosted up to 667 mA h g−1 at a current density of 50 mA g−1 by employing Mg2+/Li+ hybrid electrolytes. Their specific capacity and the corresponding energy density (614 W h Kg−1) are the highest among MLIBs and comparable to those of lithium ion batteries. Furthermore, MLIBs displayed significant cycling stability by retaining the maximum specific capacities of 324.6 and 230 mA h g−1 at 100 and 500 mA g−1, respectively after 100 cycles. The excellent electrochemical properties of the synthesized cathodes are attributed to their high porosities and electrical conductivities, the synergistic effect of doped species and their capability to accommodate both Mg2+ and Li+ ions without side reactions. Various ex situ characterization tools were employed to develop further understanding of the intercalation chemistries and mechanisms of both Mg2+ and Li+ ions inside host materials.

Alkaline zinc-based batteries have become a current research hotspot due to their high energy density and safety, but their low cycle stability and rate performance limit their commercial applications. Herein, vertically ordered NiCo 2 S x nanoneedle arrays are prepared using different sulfidation concentrations based on the anion exchange reaction. The highly uniform nanoneedle arrays provide fast ion transport paths and abundant active sites, and the prepared NiCo 2 S x @Ni foam (NiCo 2 S x @NF) electrode has the excellent capacity (121.9 mAh g −1 ), stable cycle performance (91.1 % of capacity retention after 500 cycles), also achieves a maximum energy density of 636.3 Wh kg −1 and a maximum power density of 40.9 kW kg −1 . This paper provides a more precise and accurate idea for preparing cathode materials for durable alkaline Ni–Zn batteries .

Summary Free-standing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with controllable structure and good stability are emerging as promising materials for applications in flexible pressure sensors and energy-storage devices. However, the inherent low electrical conductivity of MOF-based materials requires complex preparation processes that involve high-temperature carbonization. This work presents a simple method to grow conductive nickel MOF nanowire arrays on carbon cloth (Ni-CAT@CC) and use Ni-CAT@CC as the functional electrodes for flexible piezoresistive sensor. The resulting sensor is able to monitor human activity, including elbow bending, knee bending, and wrist bending. Besides, the soft-packaged aqueous Ni-Zn battery is assembled with Ni-CAT@CC, a piece of glass microfiber filters, and Zn foil acting as cathode, separator, and anode, respectively. The Ni-Zn battery can be used as a power source for finger pressure monitoring. This work demonstrates free-standing MOF-based nanowires as bifunctional fabric electrodes for wearable electronics.

Unary and binary M 2+ (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Zn) substituted hollow Fe 3 O 4 were prepared by one-step solvothermal method. The crystallographic structure, morphology, element components and microwave absorbing properties of as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and vector network analyzer (VNA). The unary and binary Co 2+ substitution of hollow Fe 3 O 4 could result in a significant improvement of microwave absorption performance, including the expanding of effective absorption bandwidth, the thinner thickness and the increment of absorbing intensity. The sample of CoFe 2 O 4 could reach an optimal reflection loss of − 28.78 dB at 15.52 GHz under the thickness of 1.5 mm, moreover, the efficient absorption bandwidth (less than −10 dB) is expanded to 5.56 GHz which is most outstanding among these samples. The minimum reflection loss of Co 0.75 Zn 0.25 Fe 2 O 4 could reach − 49.60 dB at 9.88 GHz under the thickness of 2 mm. The as-prepared products could be used as microwave absorber with the advantages of strong absorption, broad bandwidth and thin thickness. The favorable performance could be attributed to the strong magnetic loss, dielectric loss and good impedance matching properties.
