Na5[IMo6O24]·3H2O and a porous aromatic framework (iPAF-1) were used to build an off-the-shelf building material (IMo6@iPAF-1) to realize the highly efficient oxidation of organic sulfurs like oxygenase. The synergy between IMo6 and iPAF-1 resulted in a higher BET surface area, hydrophobic microenvironment, and redox sites to show higher activity in aerobic oxidative desulfurization with almost 100% removal of model organic sulfurs under atmospheric pressure with almost 246 times higher TOFs compared to IMo6. It also showed efficiency in the desulfurization of gasoline and diesel to give very low S contents of 7.1 and 7.6 ppm with 99.3% and 99.4% removal, respectively, at 100 °C for 6 h. More importantly, IMo6@iPAF-1 could also catalyze desulfurization using concentrated O2 mixed with N2 or air instead of pure O2 with better safety and economics, while as low as 4.9 and 6.9 ppm S contents were achieved for gasoline and diesel, respectively. The special surroundings of IMo6@iPAF-1 repelled the sulfone product and allowed it to perform with the same efficiency when recycled without any treatment of the used catalyst.

Syngas, as a necessary feedstock dependent on non-renewable fossil fuels, is a mixture of CO and H2, which could be prepared by a renewable strategy via electrochemical CO2 reduction in water electrolyte solutions. Herein, beaded Au@Co3O4 nanowire arrays (denoted as Au@Co3O4 NAs) were obtained by immersion in HAuCl4 solution with Co3O4 nanowire arrays. The Au@Co3O4 NAs exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance of producing syngas via tuning from 1 : 1 to 4 : 1 with controlling voltage. In addition, the Au@Co3O4 NAs showed better catalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction with an overpotential of 320 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm−2, along with a small Tafel slope of 75 mV dec−1 in 1 M KOH solution. The electrochemical performance of Au@Co3O4 NAs is obviously superior to Co3O4 NAs, which will open up a viable strategy for the design and fabrication of a bi-functional electrocatalyst for the overall reaction (CO2 + H2O → CO + H2 + O2).

The limited light penetration depth and tumor hypoxia are two natural shortcomings of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Overcoming these two issues within a single system is still a great challenge. Herein, photosensitizer (PS)-loaded and PEG-modified MnFe2O4-decorated large-pore mesoporous silica-coated β-NaYF4:20%Yb,2%Er@β-NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCMnFe-PS-PEG) as excellent PDT agents are successfully prepared for NIR light-mediated and O2 self-sufficient PDT. The large mesoporous structure observably increases PS loading efficiency (11.33 wt%) and the green luminescence from upconversion nanoparticles activated by NIR is able to activate PSs to generate ROS effectively. In addition, sub-10 nm MnFe2O4 nanoparticles work as a Fenton catalyst to generate O2in situ. In vivo experiments further prove that UCMnFe-PS-PEG not only provides magnetic guidance to the tumor, but also overcomes tumor hypoxia and dramatically enhances PDT efficiency. Furthermore, in vivo MR and UCL imaging are performed for accurate cancer therapy. We believe that the successful construction of the multifunctional UCMnFe-PS-PEG provides more revelations for developing advanced nano-drug systems for cancer therapy.

Hydrothermal self-assembly is a highly efficient and low cost method to prepare graphitic foam from graphene oxides; however, the self-assembly frameworks usually do not have controllable pore structures because of the spontaneous process. In this paper, a hydrothermal synthesis assisted by ammonium peroxo-polymolybdate [(NH4)2Mo2O11] tailoring to fabricate graphitic foam is presented. The foam possesses pore structures which can be controlled by adjusting the rate of charge in the hydrothermal experiments. Furthermore, the foam obtained from a definite rate of charge [(NH4)2Mo2O11 : graphene oxide is 1 : 2 in weight] has a hierarchical pore structure and a through-hole net. In electrochemical energy storage, such unique features are beneficial for providing efficient mass transport as well as abundant, accessible active sites. The graphitic foam was tested for use as self-supported electrodes of Li–O2 batteries (LOBs) and Li ion batteries (LIBs) without any metallic current collectors or organic binders, and the foam frameworks exhibited remarkable lithium ion storage properties in both of the two batteries (e.g., 5500 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 as LOB cathodes and 250 mA h g−1 at 50 A g−1 as LIB anodes).

Constructing heterojunctions is an effective strategy for increasing semiconductor photocatalytic activity. Herein, a Bi2O3/Bi4O5Br2 type-II heterojunction was synthesized using a simple one-pot solvothermal route. The 0-dimensional (0D) Bi2O3 nanoparticles are uniformly distributed within the 2D Bi4O5Br2 nanosheets with (101̅) facets dominantly exposed. In comparison with pure Bi2O3 and Bi4O5Br2, they show higher photocatalytic activity degradation of resorcinol (RO) and Rhodamine B (RhB). The Bi2O3/Bi4O5Br2 composite containing 10% Bi2O3 (BOB4) displays the best photocatalytic activity. For instance, compared with pure Bi4O5Br2 and Bi2O3, the k(RO) values of BOB4 (0.58 h–1) are 3.1 and 4.8 times higher. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to the formation of a large heterojunction interface that results from the homogeneous distribution of Bi2O3 nanoparticles in the Bi4O5Br2 nanosheet, which effectively enhances the photogenerated charge separation in a type-II mode. Major active species include superoxide radicals (•O2–), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and holes (h+). In addition, the Bi2O3/Bi4O5Br2 photocatalysts exhibit outstanding resistance to inorganic ions, pH, water matrix, as well as outdoor sunlight and favorable stability and biocompatibility. This work presents a simple method to construct Bi-based heterojunction architectures for photoactivity improvement.

Propylene epoxidation by H 2 and O 2 to propylene oxide (HOPO), as a novel method for PO production, has attracted widespread attention due to its economic and environmental advantages. Acrolein is a notable byproduct arising in HOPO reaction over Au/TS-1 catalyst, and is traditionally thought to be exclusively formed on Au site through propylene oxidation. However, on the intraporous and external surface Au sites of Au-Ti catalysts, the HOPO reaction have been shown to proceed by different mechanisms, yet the effect of active sites distribution on acrolein formation is far from being understood. Herein, we found that the reaction orders in acrolein formation on Au/TS-1 catalyst (H 2 , 0.19; O 2 , 0.44; C 3 H 6 , 0.44) relative to Au/TS-1 with blocked pores (Au/TS-1-B) catalyst (H 2 , −0.36; O 2 , 0.61; C 3 H 6 , 0.52) were quite different, suggesting a variation in the reaction pathway on the catalysts with different Au locations. Moreover, it is found that PO can be converted to acrolein by O 2 on TS-1 zeolite, which is absent on TS-1-B zeolite without micropores. Consequently, acrolein formation on Au/TS-1 catalyst can proceed through two parallel pathways: propylene hydro-oxidation on Au site, and PO conversion by O 2 inside micropores. Furthermore, by designing and preparing the Au/TS-1 catalysts with different structures, the Au locations are closely related to acrolein formation mechanism and kinetic behaviors. This work provides kinetic insights into the acrolein formation pathways in the HOPO reaction on Au/TS-1 catalyst, and is helpful to the rational design and preparation of efficient catalysts with high selectivity.

Photocatalytic O 2 reduction presents a sustainable strategy for H 2 O 2 synthesis, while the in-situ decomposition of H 2 O 2 significantly deteriorates the activity and stability. Here, by introducing anthraquinone centers into covalent organic frameworks (DQTb-COFs), for the first time, we realized the suppression of in-site decomposition of generated H 2 O 2 via site-engineering of COFs. Under visible light irradiation, DQTb-COFs achieves an H 2 O 2 generation rate of 1844.1 μmol h −1 g −1 without sacrificial agents, which is about 3.4 times that of its counterpart without anthraquinone centers (DATb-COFs). The generated H 2 O 2 on DATb-COFs is readily reduced into hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which is not observable on DQTb-COFs. Experiments and calculations demonstrated that the anthraquinone centers of DQTb-COFs can enhance the generation of H 2 O 2 by facilitating the utilization of O 2 and promoting the desorption of H 2 O 2 . This work highlights how to inhibit the in-situ decomposition of H 2 O 2 via site-engineering of COFs, and blazes a new trail for highly efficient H 2 O 2 photosynthesis.

Li–O2 batteries (LOBs) boast an exceptionally high theoretical energy density; however, the slow kinetics of the oxygen electrode reaction have been a significant hurdle in their advancement and practical application. In this study, a composite of bismuth oxyhalide heterojunction incorporated with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) was engineered on carbon cloth (Zr-MOF/BiOIBr/CC) as an efficient bifunctional catalyst to enhance the oxygen electrode reaction in photo-assisted LOBs. Compared to Zr-MOF/CC, Zr-MOF/BiOIBr/CC significantly expands the light absorption spectrum of the catalyst. Furthermore, the built-in electric field in the heterojunction aids in the separation and directional movement of photogenerated carriers, thereby expediting the reaction kinetics of LOBs. Consequently, the photo-assisted LOBs with Zr-MOF/BiOIBr/CC as the cathodes display a discharge potential of 3.05 V, a low charge potential of 3.20 V, and an energy efficiency of up to 95.3%, and can sustain an extended cycle life of over 255 cycles. This study underscores the potential application of MOFs/semiconductor heterostructural materials in photo-assisted LOBs and offers insights into the systematic design of photo-assisted air batteries and other advanced semiconductors.

This study explored how pore size engineering in Nb-Mn/MCM-41 catalysts affects plasma-catalytic toluene oxidation. Adjusting the pore diameter (2.49–3.98 nm) modulated metal-support interactions and oxygen dynamics, with pore expansion to 3.73 nm (M3) optimizing the Mn4+/(Mn2++ Mn3+) ratio (XPS: 36.8%), the amount of lattice oxygen species (O2-TPD: 0.222 mmol/g), and crystallite size control (1.5 ± 0.2 nm, TEM). Smaller pores (M1: 2.49 nm) enhanced toluene adsorption but limited active site accessibility, while oversized pores (M4: 3.98 nm) reduced oxygen storage capacity (0.600→0.412 mmol/g). The Nb-Mn/M3 catalyst achieved superior performance with 96.8% toluene conversion, 55.0% CO2selectivity, and 85.4% carbon balance, while minimizing organic byproducts (GC-MS). Mechanistic studies revealed pore-mediated oxygen storage-transport cycles as critical for decoupling adsorption and oxidation steps. This study reveals fundamental mechanisms linking pore architecture to plasma-catalytic synergy in toluene oxidation, offering critical insights for the systematic design of energy-efficient, plasma-catalytic systems targeting industrial VOCs remediation.

In this study, a novel Z-scheme + II-type ternary heterojunction nanocomposite was prepared by one-step solvothermal method using g-C 3 N 4 , FeS 2 and Fe 2 O 3 as raw materials. The successful preparation of this ternary heterojunction was confirmed by the structural analysis and the surface morphology study. Compared with g-C 3 N 4 , the ternary photocatalyst showed excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of tetracycline (TC). The enhancement of photocatalytic activity is mainly due to the increase of light absorption capacity, effective separation of carrier in space, and increase of electron transfer channels in this Z-Scheme + II-type composite system. The scavenger test and electron spin resonance spectroscopy show that O 2 − is the main oxidizing free radical in the photocatalytic system. Based on liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer, a possible degradation pathway of TC was proposed. This study opens up a new idea for the design and synthesis of efficient Z-Scheme + II-type photocatalysts for environmental purification.

The development of high-performance solid-state batteries (SSBs) that integrate high safety with high energy density has long been pursued. However, conventional lithium-containing anode materials are unable to balance these two requirements, thereby necessitating the exploration of lithium-free anodes for SSBs. In the current study, a core–shell lithium-free α-Fe2O3@TiNb2O7 (TNO) nanofiber composite is synthesized and applied as an SSB anode. The confinement effect from the hollow TNO nanotubes on the encapsulated α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles can buffer the volume-change crushing during charging/discharging, leading to robust structural stability. Moreover, the high rate capability of TNO and high capacity of α-Fe2O3 work synergistically to provide superior electrochemical performances. The prepared α-Fe2O3@TNO composite delivers twice the reversible capacity (625 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1) of pristine TNO as well as a remarkably prolonged cycle life (500 cycles with 79.2% capacity retention) and an improved rate performance (305 mA h g−1 at 3 A g−1) compared with those of α-Fe2O3, making this composite the most efficient TNO-based anode material ever reported. By pairing the composite with the high-energy Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2 (NCM811) cathode, the SSB full cell exhibits a high energy density of 400 W h kg−1. These results demonstrate the feasibility and great potential of the proposed lithium-free anode material in SSBs for practical applications.

Transition-metal sulfides (TMS) are one of the most promising cathode catalysts for Li–O2 batteries (LOBs) owing to their excellent stabilities and inherent metallicity. In this work, a highly efficient mode has been used to synthesize Co@CNTs [pyrolysis products of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)]-derived CoS2(CoS)@NC. Benefiting from the special yolk–shell hierarchical porous morphology, the existence of Co–N bonds, and dual-function catalytic activity (ORR/OER) of the open metal sites contributed by MOFs, the CoS2@NC-400/AB electrode illustrated excellent charge–discharge cycling for up to nearly 100 times at a current density of 0.1 mA cm–2 under a limited capacity of 500 mA h g–1 (based on the total weight of CoS2@NC and AB) with a high discharge voltage plateau and a low charge cut-off voltage. Meanwhile, the average transferred electron number (n) is around 3.7 per O2 molecule for CoS2@NC-400, which is the chief approach for a four-electron pathway of the ORR under alkaline media. Therefore, we believe that the novel CoS2@NC-400/AB electrode could serve as an excellent catalyst in the LOBs.
