Shuttle effect of the dissolved intermediates is regarded as the primary cause that leads to fast capacity degradation of Li–S battery. Herein, a microporous carbon-coated sulfur composite with novel rambutan shape (R-S@MPC) is synthesized from microporous carbon-coated rambutan-like zinc sulfide (R-ZnS@MPC), via an in situ oxidation process. The R-ZnS is employed as both template and sulfur precursor. The carbon frame of R-S@MPC composite possesses three kinds of pores that are distinctly separated from each other in space and are endowed with the exclusive functions. The central macropore serves as buffer pool to accommodate the dissolved lithium polysulfides (LPSs) and volumetric variation during cycling. The marginal straight-through mesoporous, connected with the central macropore, takes the responsibility of sulfur storage. The micropores, evenly distributed in the outer carbon shell of the as-synthesized R-S@MPC, enable the blockage of LPSs. These pores are expected to perform their respective single function, and collaborate synergistically to suppress the sulfur loss. Therefore, it delivers an outstanding cycling stability, decay rate of 0.013% cycle −1 after 500 cycles at 1 C, when the sulfur loading is kept at 4 mg cm −2 .

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are seriously impeded by poor reaction kinetics and the polysulfides shuttling, leading to low utilization of sulfur and poor cycling performance. Herein, amorphous MoS 2 /MoO 3 nanosheets are prepared by a one-step formamide (FA)-assisted strategy. Due to the merits of high adsorption capability and good catalytic activity of MoS 2 , relatively high electronic conductivity and strong polarity of MoO 3 , and abundant active sites of amorphous nanosheet structure, the LSBs based on amorphous MoS 2 /MoO 3 -2 nanosheets coated separator exhibit an outstanding specific capacity (1420.2 mA h g −1 at 0.1 C), excellent rate capacity (505.4 mA h g −1 at 5 C), and long cycle life (a negligible decay rate of 0.063 % per cycle at 0.5 C). This work provides an idea for designing efficient amorphous catalytic materials in LSBs. Graphical Amorphous MoS 2 /MoO 3 nanosheets with high adsorption capability, good catalytic activity, and abundant active sites are employed as high-efficient polysulfide barrier in Li−S batteries.

Cation substitution plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. In this work, we report a significant efficiency enhancement of flexible CZTSSe solar cells on Mo foils by partial substitution of Cu+ with Ag+. It is found that the band gap (Eg) of (Cu1−xAgx)2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CAZTSSe) thin films can be adjusted by doping with Ag with x from 0 to 6%, and the minimum Eg is achieved with x = 5%. We also found that Ag doping can obviously increase the average grain size of the CAZTSSe absorber from 0.4 to 1.1 μm. Additionally, the depletion width (Wd) at the heterojunction interface of CAZTSSe/CdS is found to be improved. As a result, the open-circuit voltage deficit (Voc,def) is gradually decreased, and the band tailing is suppressed. Benefiting from the enhanced open-circuit voltage (Voc), the power conversion efficiency (PCE) is successfully enhanced from 4.34% (x = 0) to 6.24% (x = 4%), and the Voc,def decreases from 915 to 848 mV.

Because of its interaction with diverse proteins, heparin plays an important role in the regulation of various normal physiological and pathological processes. However, heparin overdose can induce some complications such as hemorrhages and thrombocytopenia. Therefore, it is critical to detect and quantify heparin accurately and quickly. Recently, conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs)-based fluorescent probes for heparin sensing have attracted considerable interests. Unfortunately, only few kinds of CPEs such as polyfluorenes derivatives, polythiophene derivatives, are reported and effective in fluorescent assays of heparin by now. This contribution aims to develop a new kind of polyelectrolytes based on poly(pyridinium salt)s derivatives for heparin detection with a light-up signature. An alternative conjugated poly(pyridinium salt)s ( P1 ) containing carbazole segments in the main chain was designed and synthesized, which are weakly emissive in solution but highly luminescent upon binding with heparin. Fluorescence light-up probes for heparin detection based on P1 were developed with high selectivity. P1 shows the similar fluorescence response toward heparin both in a broad pH range of about 3–12 and in the presence of various competing anions. Heparin quantification with a practical calibration range (0–14 µ M ) covering the whole therapeutic dosing levels (0.2–1.2 U mL −1 , 1.7–10 µ M ) is realized based on the polymer probe. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this study, ZnS capped Cu–In–S (ZCIS) quantum dots doped with Mn ions are synthesized by a thermal injection method, with luminescence covering almost the entire visible area. The large Stokes shift effectively inhibits the self-absorption effect under luminescence, and the quantum yield of ZCIS quantum dots increased from 38% to 50% after ZnS capping and further to 69% after doping with Mn. First, red-, yellow-, and blue-emitting quantum dots were synthesized and then, polychromatic ensembles were obtained by mixing the trichromatic quantum dots in a different ratio. Using the home-built inkjet printer, multilayered and multicolor mixed patterns were obtained for information pattern storage and multilayer pattern recognition and reading.

Li-ion capacitors, comprising a battery anode and a supercapacitor cathode, have been expected to bridge the gap between batteries and supercapacitors. However, the kinetics mismatch between the anodic sluggish insertion and the cathodic capacitive process has impeded the energy-storage potential of devices. Developing pseudocapacitive anode materials is urgently needed in that pseudocapacitance can deliver energy in the same time scale as electrostatic adsorption and offer a comparable level of energy storage to that of battery-type materials. Here we demonstrate an inside and outside synergistic nanoengineering strategy to synthesize nanoporous carbon-modified S-TiO2 hybrid nanosheets, through which both the carbon layer and sulfur doping can be simultaneously generated in situ. Benefiting from the in situ S doping, the electronic and ionic conductivity of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles is enhanced. The carbon-modified S-TiO2 with dominant pseudocapacitance realizes an unprecedentedly high capacity of 550 mAh g–1 at 0.3 C and excellent rate capability, outperforming that of the ever-reported TiO2-based materials. Furthermore, a hybrid Li-ion capacitor based on the as-obtained carbon-modified S-TiO2 electrode has been assembled, delivering a high energy density of 92.7 Wh kg–1 and power density of 26 kW kg–1 with a stable cycling life (85.8% after 10 000 cycles). Our work offers a new avenue for achieving electrode materials with extrinsic pseudocapacitance that is kinetically comparable to capacitive materials.

The synergistic design of cathode region was conducted to minimize the shuttle effect of polysulfides and decrease the loading of inactive components in order to acquire high-energy-density lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. The well-designed cathode region presented two special characteristics: one was the intertwined nanofibers interlayer based on ultrafine TiO2 nanocrystal uniformly embedded within N-doping porous carbon; the other was the lightweight and three-dimensional current collector of fibrous cellulose paper coated by reduced graphene oxide. In consequence, the decent reversible capacity of 874.8 mA h g–1 was acquired at 0.1 C with a capacity retention of 91.83% after 100 cycles. Besides, the satisfactory capacity of 670 mA h g–1 was delivered after 300 cycles at 1 C with the small decay rate of only 0.08%. Because of higher capacity and lower loading of inactive component in cathode region, the energy density of cell increased more than five times compared with unmodified cell. Moreover, to further enhance the energy density, the high-sulfur-loading electrode was fabricated. A good areal capacity of 4.27 mA h cm–2 was retained for the cell with the active material of 4 mg cm–2 and the cycle stability was also well-maintained. In addition, due to the flexibility of interlayer and current collector, Li–S full cell (in pouch cell format) was easily curved. Therefore, the synergistic design for cathode region, which combines the flexible and mass-produced interlayer and current collector together, provides an effective access to Li–S batteries with high energy density and flexibility for practical application.

During the catalytic growth of CNTs, the ordered arrangement of catalysts is critical for maintaining their array structure. Unlike mechanisms that suppress nanoparticle migration via high catalyst density to enforce CNTs array growth, this study proposes a strategy involving surface engineering and nanoparticle nucleation to construct Mo-Fe-S/Al 2 O 3 heterogeneous ternary catalysts. This method modulates the electronic density of Fe sites to activate catalytic activity while constructing Mo-Fe-S sites on the catalyst surface to catalyze the growth of a "C network" (carbon pillars and CNTs), thereby forming CNTs arrays. On one hand, S and Mo weaken the interfacial interactions between Al 2 O 3 and inactive FeO x nanoparticles, promoting active particle nucleation; on the other hand, the "C network" grown via Mo-Fe-S constitutes the top part of the CNTs arrays, confining the internal nanoparticles (NPs) to enable vertically aligned growth of CNTs. Characterizations reveal NPs with diameters of ∼20 nm and symmetrically grown CNTs arrays with average diameters and heights of 18.21 nm and 10.10μm, respectively. This work provides an approach for the catalytic growth of CNTs arrays using supported catalysts, by forming a "C network" to suppress the entanglement of NPs during the catalytic growth of CNTs, thereby forming the CNTs array structure.

Rationally designing a lithiophilic layer on the current collector (CC) is essential for realizing the next-generation high energy density of lean lithium metal batteries (LLMBs). However, challenges caused by the nonuniform Li deposition and fragile solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) severely restrict their commercialization. Herein, a lithiophilic Cu 2 Se layer is fabricated on commercial Cu CCs (Cu 2 Se/Cu) by a facile in-situ selenization approach to fulfill stable and homogeneous Li deposition. The unique s -p hybridization between p x / p y orbitals of Li and Se sites triggers electronic structure reconfiguration and forms the abundant lithiophilic interface. Furthermore, the in-situ generated Li 2 Se/LiF-rich SEI layer not only enhances the adsorption capability, but also decreases the ionic diffusion barrier. Consequently, The Cu 2 Se/Cu based symmetric cell show remarkable cycling stability over 3000 h. The full cell with LiFePO 4 cathode maintains an excellent cycling stability of 88.8 % after 400 cycles at 1C. After pairing with the high-loading sulfur cathodes (6.3 mg cm −2 ), the full cell shows a high areal capacity of 4.3 mAh cm −2 with stable cycling performance at an N/P ratio of 2.6. Therefore, this work highlights the potential of Li-dominant s -p orbital hybridization by incorporating Se sites into commercial Cu CCs for designing high-capacity and cycling reversible LLMBs.

Flexible thermoelectric materials offer a promising route toward self-powered wearable electronics. The emergence of ductile inorganic semiconductors opens a new paradigm for flexible TE technologies, yet their thermoelectric performance remains far from optimal. Herein, we reveal a pronounced phase-transition hysteresis in the Ag 2 (S, Se, Te) system, where the transition temperature during cooling is 20–40 K lower than that during heating. Leveraging this hysteresis behavior, we successfully stabilize different structural phases at ambient conditions simply by varying the thermal treatment protocol. Compared to the monoclinic phase obtained by slow cooling from high temperature, the orthorhombic phase obtained by liquid-nitrogen treatment exhibits worse plastic deformation but much better electrical transport. A maximum power factor of ∼16 µW cm −1 K −2 and a zT of ∼0.5 near room temperature are achieved in the orthorhombic phase, both of which surpass most reported Ag-based ductile thermoelectric materials. This work provides a new pathway for designing high-performance ductile thermoelectrics.

Optically pure linalool with (R)- and (S)-configurations is a pivotal chiral building block in the flavors and fragrances industry as well as in sustainable crop protection. However, current production of (R)- and (S)-linalool relies on plant extraction, which is severely restricted by the spatiotemporal differences in enantiomer distribution, leading to low yields and complex downstream separation processes. Herein, we developed a practical two-step batch resolution process based on the stereoselective linalool dehydratase-isomerase (LDI), isolated from Castellaniella defragrans strain 65Phen. Using the racemic linalool as substrate, (R)-linalool was obtained in the first batch, accompanied by the dehydration of (S)-linalool to β-myrcene. After fractional distillation, β-myrcene was stereoselectively hydrated back to (S)-linalool by LDI in the second batch. To overcome the thermodynamic constraints of enzymatic reactions and enhance the productivity, we further developed an in situ product removal strategy via selective adsorption using XAD-4 resin, which shifted the reaction equilibrium toward the formation of (S)-linalool and enhanced the hydration efficiency by 28.1-fold. Moreover, employing immobilized cells LDI@de-GA, we obtained 9.9 g of (R)-linalool with 98.0% enantiomeric excess (ee) value and 9.2 g of (S)-linalool with 97.3% ee from 20 g of racemic linalool, corresponding to a combined isolated yield of 95.5%. This work represents the first enzymatic resolution of linalool and establishes an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach for the synthesis of chiral linalool.

Understanding the electrochemical processes in all-solid-state lithium‑sulfur batteries is essential for designing high-performance devices. Here, the evolution of the electrochemical impedance spectra of an all-solid-state lithium‑sulfur battery during one charge/discharge cycle was quantitatively investigated with a reasonably established equivalent circuit. The impedance spectra could be decomposed into several parts as follows: the bulk resistance of solid electrolyte and current collector at highest frequency, three semicircles from high to low frequency corresponding to the dynamic processes at different interfaces and a 45° straight line followed by an inclined small tail at low frequency. It is found that the middle frequency semicircle, corresponding to charge transfer at the cathode, varied obviously during the charge/discharge cycle. Moreover, the 45° straight line, which is attributed to the Li diffusion in the cathode material Li x S based on qualitative analysis, dominates the impedance spectra, revealing that the main kinetics-limiting factor is the Li diffusion in the active materials. Finally, an electrochemical model of the battery is proposed which provides insight for the designing of high-performance all-solid-state lithium‑sulfur batteries.
