Photocatalytic CO 2 reduction is a promising approach for reducing CO 2 emissions and achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. In this work, selectively coupling Cu(OH) 2 and CuO with amine-modified brookite TiO 2 (NH 2 –B–TiO 2 ) has been achieved by a simple precipitation method. The results show that CuO is better than Cu(OH) 2 as a co-catalyst to enhance the CO 2 photoreduction capability of NH 2 –B–TiO 2 . The highest rates of CO 2 conversion to CH 4 and CO of NH 2 –B–TiO 2 –CuO composite reach 6.05 and 3.25 μmol h −1 g −1 , respectively, which is higher than 8 times the yield of CH 4 of NH 2 –B–TiO 2 . It is proposed that the NH 2 –B–TiO 2 –CuO composite offers an effective charge transfer through the formation of a p–n junction between NH 2 –B–TiO 2 and CuO interfaces, while in the NH 2 –B–TiO 2 –Cu(OH) 2 composite, the Cu(OH) 2 dominantly serves as an electron sink to capture photo-induced electrons, promoting photo-induced carrier separation. This work provides an ingenious synthetic method for selectively anchoring Cu(OH) 2 and CuO on semiconductors with different charge transfer routes for an efficient CO 2 photoreduction.

α-Ni(OH)2 is an ideal candidate material for a supercapacitor except for its low conductivity and poor stability. In this work, BO2–-intercalated α-NixCo(1–x)(OH)2 is synthesized by a hydrothermal method at a low cost. The Co dopant can decrease the charge-transfer resistance and enhance the cyclic stability. The special unsaturated electronic state of BO2– enhances the bonding with metal ions and attracts water molecules. Thus, the BO2– ions support the hydroxide layers as pillars and create efficient paths for proton transportation, optimizing the utilization of α-Ni(OH)2. The three-dimensional (3D) flowerlike morphology supplies an enormous number of active sites, and r-GO is added to improve the conductivity. As a result, the modified α-Ni(OH)2 exhibits the specific capacitance of 2179, 1592, and 1423 F·g–1 at 1, 20, and 40 A·g–1, respectively, showing improved rate performance. Matching with the commercial activated carbon (AC) as an anode, the asymmetric capacitor delivers an energy density of 40.66 W·h·kg–1 when its power density is 187.06 W·kg–1. Meanwhile, it retains 81.5% capacitance of the initial cycle at 5 A·g–1 after 3000 cycles. With conductivity enhanced and structure stabilized, the modified α-Ni(OH)2 confronts broader fields of application.

Heterogeneously structured materials with supported precious metals , such as Pd, Pt, and Ru, as co-catalysts are important catalysts for efficient photocatalytic water splitting. However, the high costs and low reserves of precious metals have been an obstacle to their application in hydrogen production . In this work, the noble-metal-free Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S solid solution was designed and synthesized with an optimized molar ratio of Cd/Zn for the best visible light photocatalytic performance. In addition, a heterojunction hybrid material formed between the Cd 0.3 Zn 0.7 S and Ni(OH) 2 nanosheet was engineered to improve the utilization of light and to inhibit the recombination of holes and electrons. Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets assisted the transfer of the photoexcited electrons to participate in the reduction reactions which is critical for efficient and rapid catalytic hydrogen production. The photoelectrochemical property of the hybrid material was investigated with UV–vis absorption, photoluminance (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The mechanism of the high-efficiency and low-cost photocatalytic hydrogen production was established by analyzing the hydrogen evolution kinetics. With the success of replacing precious metal with nickel-based surface heterostructure, this work is expected to provide a new type of photocatalyst for the application of photocatalytic hydrogen production.

The use of organic–inorganic hybrid compounds containing tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-OH) is one of the most promising approaches for using alkoxysilane-based formulations to improve the effectiveness of the consolidation of traditional silicate artifacts, such as ancient stone. Based on analysis of existing damaged potteries influenced by the crystallization of NaCl salt, the hybrid we prepared in this study provided a crack-free and homogeneous gel on the premise of appropriate PDMS-OH content. The consolidants were applied to samples prepared following procedures that simulate old pottery and the effect of the protective products was evaluated by characterizing the surface morphology, the determination of the consolidant uptake, color changes, water vapour permeability and several wet-dry cycles with salt. The best formulation found for the hybrid in the present work was made up of 10% PDMS-OH with TEOS, which showed a significant increase in compressive strength, with a value of 3.50 MPa at 3 mm depth of consolidation, similar to the sample treated with Primal SF(the commercial protective agents used for comparison purposes), which had 3.20 MPa in compressive strength at 2 mm depth of consolidation. Except for small color changes and excellent water vapor permeability, there was still no significant change, and the destructive effects from NaCl crystallization for the hydrophobic surface of the sample treated with hybrid material was different to what happened for the hydrophilic case in the original. Thus, this study has revealed, for the first time, the addition of an appropriate amount of PDMS-OH to TEOS helps to improve the mechanical properties, hydrophobic behavior and salt resistance of damaged pottery effloresced by the NaCl crystals; in addition small color changes and excellent water vapor permeability should also be taken into consideration.

PbX(OH) (X=Cl, Br, I) is considered one of the effective encapsulation matrixes to improve the stability and luminescence efficiency of perovskite. Several strategies have been explored to construct perovskite@PbBr(OH) composites with high photoluminescence quantum yield. However, there is limited research on their precise growth kinetics mechanism and morphology control. Here, PbBr2 microwires (MWs) were applied to act as the lead source and serve as a skeleton frame for the growth of CH3NH3PbBr3 (MAPbBr3) MWs. The structures transition from MAPbBr3 to MAPbBr3@PbBr(OH) MWs were triggered by the synergistic effect of H2O and CH3NH3OOCCH3 (methylamine acetate, MAAc). All components and synthesis processes used in this system are explicit which allows a more in-depth exploration of the MAPbBr3@PbBr(OH) formation kinetics. The results indicate that the hydrolysis of MAAc provides OH- and partly replaces Br- ions in MAPbBr3 to form MAPbBrxAc3-x intermediate, which induces the transformation of MAPbBr3 into PbBr(OH) and until the stable MAPbBr3@PbBr(OH) microwires are formed. Based on this growth kinetics process, utilizing H2O-MAAc and extra sodium halide (NaCl, NaI) mixture can synthesize MAPbBrnX3-n@PbX(OH) (X=Cl, I) microwires successfully. Our study can open a new avenue for developing high-efficiency and high-stability fluorescent hybrid perovskites for three primary color detectors, lasing cavities, and sensors.

Lu(OH)CO 3 :Ln 3+ /LuBO 3 :Ln 3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) nanospheres have been synthesized by the soft chemistry route. This synthesis process does not require the addition of any organic solvents and surfactant. The whole process consists of homogeneous precipitation and hydrothermal process. First, uniform spherical Lu(OH)CO 3 :Ln 3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) nanoparticles with the sizes of 70 nm were obtained by the classic urea-based homogeneous precipitation. Then, with the above Lu(OH)CO 3 :Ln 3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) nanosphere as the precursor, the composites of Lu(OH)CO 3 :Ln 3+ /LuBO 3 :Ln 3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) nanospheres formed by the simple hydrothermal process. The phases, morphologies, as well as the luminescence properties of as-prepared samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence. Under a short wavelength excitation, the down-conversion Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ -doped LuBO 3 samples were investigated and explained.

The mechanism of the interaction between nano-Mg(OH)2 adsorbent and uranyl in water was studied. At trace levels, the uranyl is adsorbed as a monolayer on nano-Mg(OH)2, and occupied a small proportion of the adsorption sites. As the uranyl concentration crosses over a threshold, continuous increase of adsorption capacity takes place. It indicates that, by taking the pre-adsorbed uranyl as the nucleation centers, the additional uranyl crystallizes and forms U-rich nanocrystals well-scattered on the surface of nano-Mg(OH)2. A strategy of inducing fast crystal growth of nano-Mg(OH)2 to micrometer-sized Na2Mg(CO3)2 enables the desorption and enrichment of uranyl. The recycling and reuse of nano-Mg(OH)2 can be achieved simultaneously. The finding in this work provides fundamental understanding of the efficient usage of nano-Mg(OH)2 in practical applications.

Porous liquids (PLs), a new class of materials with permanent pores and macroscopic flowing behaviors, have attracted much attention for CO2 capture. However, the preparation of PLs is always complicated, which is not suitable for the scale-up. Herein, we propose a rather simple and feasible strategy based on post-synthetic modification of pore generators and the like-dissolves-like principle to synthesize UiO-66-PLs with low-viscosity. To be specific, the metal–organic framework (MOF) UiO-66 with hydroxyl groups (denoted UiO-66-OH) was modified by an organosilane (denoted KH550 or SID) via a post-synthetic modification method, obtaining the pore generator UiO-66-OS (denoted UiO-66-KH550 or UiO-66-SID). Then, the UiO-66-OS was dispersed into two different sterically hindered polydimethylsiloxane solvents (PDMS400 or PDMS6000). Thereby, a series of type 3 PLs (UiO-66-PLs) with superior fluidity at room temperature and accessible porosity were obtained. For instance, the viscosities of UiO-66-KH550-PDMS400 and UiO-66-SID-PDMS400 were 1.1 and 1.5 Pa S at 25 °C, respectively, which were far lower than those of values reported thus far. In addition, gas sorption–desorption measurements indicated that the UiO-66-PLs exhibit superior CO2 sorption performance and great potential for CO2/N2 separation. Moreover, molecular simulation was carried out to verify the retained accessible porosity. Notably, the strategy of constructing type 3 PLs based on the post-synthetic modification of MOFs with organosilane and the like-dissolves-like principle not only provides a new solution for the development of low-viscosity PLs, but also opens a new path for the construction of other types of advanced porous material (APM)-based (e.g., covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic cages (POCs)) PLs, which have potential applications in the fields of gas trapping storage, and catalysis.

Electroreduction of CO 2 for formic acid production has been regarded as an efficient option for CO 2 utilization. However, under high current, achieving high selectivity for formic acid is challenging, which cannot meet industrial demands. Herein, we reported a type of Bi/In(OH) 3 (BIO) heterojunction reconstructed from Bi 2 S 3 /In(OH) 3 during electrochemical process, in which In(OH) 3 was applied to modulate the electronic structure of Bi. This strategy efficiently enhanced the ∗OCHO intermediates adsorption and lead to a decent selectivity towards formic acid under high current density. BIO displays faraday efficiency of formic acid beyond 95 % across a wide range current density of 200–400 mA cm −2 , where the highest value reached 97.7 % at 400 mA cm −2 . This work clarified the mechanism of CO 2 electroreduction to HCOOH on heterojunction, guiding the design of advanced catalysts.

Rice-like Gd(OH) 3 nanorods were successfully prepared through a facile and rapid microwave-hydrothermal synthesis method without using any surfactants or templates. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the samples. Results show that the nanorods have an average length of 400 nm and an average diameter of 50 nm. The effects of reaction parameters such as reaction temperature and time on the preparation were briefly investigated. It is found that the crucial factor for the formation of rice-like Gd(OH) 3 nanorods is reaction time. When the rice-like Gd(OH) 3 nanorods was codoped with Yb 3+ and Er 3+ , strong upconversion emissions could be observed under the excitation of 980-nm-laser, and the calculated CIE color coordinates falls within the yellow region, which may be potential candidate for optical materials.

Porous organic nanocages (POCs) have received great concern in diverse areas recently. However, a long reaction time as well as a toxic catalyst or solvents are still used to synthesize POCs, which may limit their broad applications. In addition, the synthesis of modified POCs will largely promote and expand their applications. Here we report a rapid, green, and catalyst-free method to synthesize model nano-POC CC3R and modified CC3S to tune their selectivity and to expand their applications in chiral gas chromatographic (GC) separation of many challengeable chiral alcohols. The nanosized CC3R is successfully synthesized via an ethanolic refluxing method within 4 h without any toxic catalyst or inert gas protection. The prepared CC3R coated capillary column provides good resolution and selectivity to diverse chiral alcohols. The mirrored CC3S and hydroxyl-modified CC3R–OH are also designed and synthesized via the ethanolic refluxing method to tune their selectivity and resolution for chiral alcohols. The introduction of hydroxyl groups into CC3R–OH nanocages largely enhanced their hydrogen-bonding forces to chiral alcohols, leading to the improved resolution and selectivity for chiral alcohols, which revealed the promise of modified POCs in chiral separation. This work may promote the synthesis, modification, and chiral chromatographic application of POCs.

A 3D Ni 3 S 2 @Mn-Co-OH/NF cross-linked nanosheet heterostructure composite electrode has been successfully fabricated by a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Ni 3 S 2 @Mn-Co-OH/NF composite electrode exhibits a high capacitance (3163 F g −1 at a current density of 3 mA cm −2 ), a superior rate performance (2071 F g −1 at a current rate of 30 mA cm −2 ), and stable cycling property (maintaining 96.6% of the initial capacitance after 4000 cycles at a current rate of 10 mA cm −2 ). This excellent electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the unique cross-linked nanosheet heterostructure formed directly on Ni foam current collector and the synergistic effect between Mn-Co-OH and Ni 3 S 2 of the composite electrode.
