The progress of inexpensive, high-efficiency, and steady oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is of great importance to promoting water splitting for green hydrogen production. Herein, tri-metallic NiCoFe selenide catalyst backed up by carbon fiber paper (CFP) was synthesized by a facile selenization of NiCoFe Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) for OER in alkaline solutions. The NiCoFe-Se/CFP inherited the porous nanostructure of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) precursors prepared by rapid cyclic voltammetry electrodeposition. Benefiting from the 3D hierarchical porous structure, optimized electronic structure of NiCoFe selenides and high conductivity, the synthesized electrocatalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic activity to the corresponding mono-metallic or bi-metallic selenides. Specifically, the NiCoFe-Se/CFP electrode demands an overpotential of 221 mV to attain the 10 mA cm −2 current density in 1.0 M KOH solution and a low Tafel slope of 38.6 mV dec -1 . The prepared catalyst also displays good stability and durability. These findings prove a feasible strategy to further improve the catalytic activities of non-precious metal based OER electrocatalysts by the cooperation of structure design and chemical component modification.

Quantum dots have received great interest due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, the surface defects of quantum dots affect the carrier transport and ultimately reduce the photovoltaic efficiency. In this paper, a core–shell quantum dot by hot-injection method is prepared to grow a narrow-band semiconductor layer (CuInSe 2 (CISe) quantumdot) on the surface of a broad-band core material (cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystal). The composition, structure, optical properties, and decay lifetime of CdS/CISe core–shells are investigated in more detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL), UV–vis spectrophotometry, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The CdS/CISe core–shell structure has a broadened absorption range and still shows CISe-related quantum effects. The increased size of the core–shell and the smaller specific surface area of the CISe shell layer lead to a lower carrier complexation chance, which improves the carrier lifetime.

Manganese ion-doped quantum dots (QDs) with wide band gaps have been widely investigated to modify their electronic, magnetic, and photophysical properties. The research on Mn-doped Cu-In-Se QDs with narrow band gaps has been minimal due to the profound differences in the reaction reactivity of cations. In this work, photoluminescent and magnetic Cu-In-Se QD nanoprobes were designed and synthesized by introducing Zn 2+ ions, which function as an intermediate acid that can regulate metal ion acidity to enhance the doping efficiency of Mn 2+ ions in a facile phosphine-free hot-injection protocol. The emission peaks of Zn-doped Cu-In-Se QDs and MnZn-doped Cu-In-Se QDs exhibit significant composition-dependent shifts. Moreover, incorporating manganese ions confers a paramagnetic character to MnZn-doped Cu-In-Se QDs and provides a quasi-core shell structure with an Mn-rich alloy shell layer, as demonstrated by the micro-structural surface analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy . Analyzing the decay lifetime and quantum yield reveals that this host-dopant coupling involves a preferential energy transfer from the host material to the dopant (Mn 2+ ions), wherein photogenerated electrons nonradiatively transfer to the 4 T 1 level of Mn dopant and then recombine with the Cu x state above the valance band of host QDs. The ability to serve as nanoprobes for the visualization of tumors through fluorescence and magnetic resonance dual-modality imaging makes these ternary MnZn-doped Cu-In-Se QDs strong candidates for practical applications in biology/biomedicine field.

In this work, carrier concentration optimization and effective mass increase of Cu2GeSe3, which were considered to be a synergetic effect of electrical transport properties, were achieved by the co-doping of Bi and Zn on the Cu site. This effect led to a higher Seebeck coefficient of ∼307.76 μV K–1 at 723 K for the Cu1.988Bi0.01Zn0.002GeSe3 sample. This effect also resulted in a higher power factor of ∼8.66 μW cm–1 K–2 at 723 K and an average power factor of ∼6.29 μW cm–1 K–2 at the temperature range of 303–723 K for the Cu1.988Bi0.01Zn0.002GeSe3 sample, which were ∼135 and ∼196% larger than those of pristine Cu2GeSe3, respectively, and are among the highest value of the Cu2GeSe3-based sample. Benefiting from simultaneous optimization of the power factor, the maximum ZT of ∼0.75 for the Cu1.988Bi0.01Zn0.002GeSe3 sample at 723 K was obtained, which is ∼288% higher than that of Cu2GeSe3.

Lithium-sulfur batteries with high theoretical energy density and cheap cost can meet people’s need for efficient energy storage, and have become a focus of the research on lithium-ion batteries. However, owing to their poor conductivity and “shuttle effect”, lithium-sulfur batteries are difficult to commercialize. In order to solve this problem, herein a polyhedral hollow structure of cobalt selenide (CoSe2) was synthesized by a simple one-step carbonization and selenization method using metal-organic bone MOFs (ZIF-67) as template and precursor. CoSe2is coated with conductive polymer polypyrrole (PPy) to settle the matter of poor electroconductibility of the composite and limit the outflow of polysulfide compounds. The prepared CoSe2@PPy-S composite cathode shows reversible capacities of 341 mAh g−1at 3 C, and good cycle stability with a small capacity attenuation rate of 0.072% per cycle. The structure of CoSe2can have certain adsorption and conversion effects on polysulfide compounds, increase the conductivity after coating PPy, and further enhance the electrochemical property of lithium-sulfur cathode material.Keywords:lithium-sulfur battery;transition metal selenides;metal-organic framework;polypyrrole;sulfur host

A flexible solid rechargeable Zn-air battery for advanced energy conversion and storage has extensive applications in portable electric sources, wildlife rescue and flexible wearable systems. Herein, the CoSe 2 nanoparticles anchored on cobalt-embedded N -doping carbon nanoplates (CoSe 2 /CoNC) is developed as a highly active bifunctional catalyst via pyrolysis and selenization of bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks containing Zn and Co. The introduction of inactive Zn generates strong electrochemically active surface areas due to the synergistic effect between CoSe2 nanoparticles and CoNC matrix. Further, CoSe2/CoNC exhibits prominent Zn–air battery performance and even outperforms the commercially available noble-metal catalysts. Notably, a high-rate flexible Zn-air battery enabled by an alkaline composite polyacrylic acid-carboxymethyl cellulose electrolyte delivers the open-circuit potential of 1.51 V. The battery offers high wearability and performs very well under various conditions, such as soaking, drilling and sewing.

Currently, the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with improved areal capacity is still challenging. The common strategy to improve areal capacity is to increase the thickness of electrode materials. However, the application of thick electrodes remains challenge due to poor mechanical properties , slow charge and ion transport, and poor electrolyte infiltration . In this study, thick electrodes are constructed by 3D printing a Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 @VSe 2 -based ink. The highly electrical conductor VSe 2 on the Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 surface improves the ion and charge transport and eases the internal resistance of the 3D-printed electrode during charge and discharge. As a result, LIBs employing these thick electrodes show a high-rate capability of 128.9 mAh/g at 10 C, improved areal capacities up to 6.2 mAh/cm 2 , and ultrastable cycling capability (84.5% of capacity retention after 1700 cycles). Moreover, full cells utilizing 3D-Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 @VSe 2 as the anode and 3D-LiFePO 4 @AC/rGO as the cathode with 1.81 V potential yield a high specific capacity of 152.5 mAh/g at 0.1C, a high specific energy density of 276.025 Wh/kg, and a power density of 30.5 W/kg at 0.1C. This work paves the way to designing thick electrodes for high-performance LIBs.

Electrochromic smart windows provide an important route to reduce building energy consumption by dynamically adjusting the transmission of visible and near-infrared light. However, the requirement for an external electrical supply greatly limits their application in energy-saving buildings. Herein, we develop a novel photovoltaic (PV) cell-powered electrochromic energy storage smart window prototype by the combination of nickel-cobalt bimetal oxide electrochromic window and Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cell, which not only realizes the function integration of self-power and intelligent solar radiation regulation, but also extends its function to energy storage. Specifically, the obtained NiCoO 2 electrochromic films display a large optical modulation (60.0% at 550 nm), fast switching time (7.6/11.4 s), outstanding stability and excellent rate capability. Based on the achieved NiCoO 2 film and TiO 2 film, high-performance electrochromic energy storage smart windows (EESW) were further assembled and demonstrated excellent compatibility with CZTSSe solar cell. Benefiting from the unique merits of CZTSSe cell, the self-powered EESW exhibits excellent optical modulation (56.0% at 550 nm) and fast coloration speed (17 s). Moreover, the self-powered EESW can serve as a power source to drive external electronics. Our exploration of multi-functional smart windows offers an effective strategy to realize a highly efficient low-energy building in the future.

For high-performance electrochemical energy storage and conversion applications, controllable nanoarchitecture arrays of the transition metal selenide on conductive substrates are attractive electrode materials. In this work, a heterostructure comprising of MnSe 2 nanorods over NiCo 2 Se 4 nanosheets with a large specific surface area is rationally generated on nickel foam (NF) substrate (MnSe 2 @NiCo 2 Se 4 ) using a hydrothermal process. The formation mechanism of the MnSe 2 @NiCo 2 Se 4 heterostructure was also examined by adjusting the selenium feeding during the selenization process. The MnSe 2 @NiCo 2 Se 4 -2 electrode exhibits remarkable capacitance (1078C g −1 at 1 A g −1 ), and superior cycle stability (90.7 % after 8000 cycles) as a result of the cooperative effect of MnSe 2 and NiCo 2 Se 4 . Furthermore, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was developed employing the improved MnSe 2 @NiCo 2 Se 4 -2 and activated carbon materials (AC) as the positive electrode and negative electrode (MnSe 2 @NiCo 2 Se 4 -2//AC), respectively, which has a high energy density of 63.2 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 396 W kg −1 . The impressive performance indicates that the MnSe 2 @NiCo 2 Se 4 electrode has a bright potential in supercapacitors .

Metal selenides are considered outstanding potential anodic materials of sodium ion batteries due to their large specific capacity. However, their actual application is heavily restricted because of the unfavorable volume expansion, inferior cycling stability, as well as inactive kinetics. To solve this problem, the structure of SnSe@f-Ti3C2 was rationally designed and synthesized via a simple one-pot solvothermal process for the first time in this work. The high-capacity 0D SnSe quantum dots grow in situ and are characterized as homogeneously distributed on the 2D conductive MXene sheet via the electrostatic attraction of Sn ions and MXene. The SnSe@f-Ti3C2 composite exhibits a remarkably increased capacity of 540 mA h g−1 at 0.05 A g−1 and excellent cycle performance of 97.79% retention ratio after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g−1. The outstanding electrochemical performance of the SnSe@f-Ti3C2 hybrid was mainly attributed to the synergy between 0D SnSe with high capacitance and the 2D MXene sheet with superior conductivity. On one hand, 0D SnSes act as pillars between MXene layers in order to prevent the stacking of MXene nanosheets. On the other hand, the fast electron/ion transport capability and large specific surface area provided by MXene as a conductive skeleton facilitates favorable transfer kinetics as well as close contact in the electrolyte/electrode interface.

The development of new energy-related materials is the pinnacle to attaining a sustainable society based on renewable energy. Over the past decades, plenty of electrode materials have been investigated seeking better energy storage properties. However, the often-tedious synthetic procedures and large amounts of solvents utilised during their syntheses incur high costs and severe environmental pollution. Here we present a solvent-free approach to metal–organic-frameworks/MXene-derived carbonaceous metal selenide/MXene composites with unique nanostructures rich in mesopores and macropores. These species can be readily transformed into high-performance electrode materials with enhanced Li/Na ion storage properties compared with their solution-based counterparts. Herein we report not only a unique metal–organic framework/MXene-derived electrode material displaying high-performance for advanced lithium/sodium storage applications but also its novel environmentally benign production process.

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive and deadliest forms of skin cancer. Besides traditional medicinal techniques, the use of photodynamic therapy is receiving increasing attention as a complementary method. Despite recent advances in the field, the majority of compounds unselectively localize inside the organism and are excited with blue or ultraviolet light, limiting the application of this method to superficial tumors. To overcome these drawbacks, herein, the encapsulation of cyclometalated iridium(III) prodrugs into selenium nanoparticles, which were further camouflaged with cancer cell membranes, is reported. The nanocomposite readily dissociated upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, triggering the release of the iridium complex, which acts as a photosensitizer, as well as methylquinone and selenium nanoparticles, which act as glutathione scavengers and chemotherapeutic reagents. The reduced intracellular glutathione levels enhance the sensitivity of the cancer cells for anticancer treatment. The cancer cell membrane-camouflaged nanoparticles showed improved selectivity, membrane permeability, and pharmacokinetic effect for cancerous cells. Upon two-photon excitation at 730 nm, the nanoparticles were able to identify as well as nearly fully eradicate a melanoma tumor inside a mouse model by synergistic chemotherapy and near-infrared photodynamic therapy.
