High-voltage and low-cost manganese-based P 2-type oxides show real promise as promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). But the P 2 − O2 phase transformation and Na + /vacancy ordering results in the inferior structural stability and Na + diffusion coefficient , which further leads to rapid decay of capacity and poor rate capability. Herein, in consideration of the synergetic effects of dual cationic doping, electrochemically inactive Li + and active Co 3+ codoping are proposed to solve the above issues. The novel two-step doping strategy, Co doping during synthesis of precursors via coprecipitation reaction followed by Li doping during solid-state reaction, are rationally developed. As anticipated, the Li/Co codoped P 2-type oxide exhibits the absence of P 2 − O2 phase transformation and Na + /vacancy disordering, which gives rise to an outstanding cycling stability (86.7% capacity retention within 100 cycles at 0.1C) and high-rate capability (reversible capacity of 109 mAh g −1 even at 10C). In addition, the full-cells composed of the codoped P 2-type positive and hard carbon negative show high energy-density, good lifespan and high-rate property. This proposed cationic codoping provides an effective and scalable tactics for modulating the structural properties of high-voltage P 2-type cathodes for advanced SIBs.

O 2 (M=Zr, Ce) was prepared by urea gelation/co-precipitation method, and characterized by N 2 adsorption, XRD and UV-vis spectra. UV irradiation greatly enhanced the adsorptive capacity and selectivity of TiO 2 -ZrO 2 for organosulfur in model oil because organosulfur compounds were first photocatalytically oxidized to sulfoxides and sulfones over TiO 2 -ZrO 2 , which were then selectively adsorbed on the bifunctional material due to much higher polarities of generated sulfoxides and sulfones. The Ti/Zr molar ratio and calcination temperature were optimized to 5 : 5 and 500 °C with the sulfur removal of 99.6% after reaction for 2 h under UV irradiation. After adding 25 wt% toluene into model oil, the sulfur removal could still reach 97.2% after reaction for 7 h. TiO 2 -ZrO 2 could be well regenrated by washing with acetonitrile followed by thermal treatment in air.

Amine-functionalized sorbents are investigated widely for CO2 capture from flue gas, to mitigate the crisis of global CO2 emission, with the advantages of excellent adsorption and regeneration performance. However, the presence of O2 in flue gas (3–10%) would induce the degradation of the sorbents, and some previous works proposed the strategies at the sacrifice of partial CO2 adsorption capacity. Herein, we focused on the oxidation behavior of PEI-functionalized silica in the long-term operation and analyzed the degradation mechanism by characterizing the oxidized sorbents. The sorbent proved to be oxidative stable under a lower temperature of air exposure, but the oxidative degradation would indeed occur at more harsh temperatures (above 90 °C). This study demonstrated that CO2 capture from O2-containing flue gas was feasible by controlling the operating temperature (below 75 °C), and the effective capacity of above 135 mg/g could be maintained in the cyclic CO2 capture.

As a promising cathode material of sodium-ion battery, P2-type Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 (NNMO) possesses a theoretically high capacity and working voltage to realize high energy storage density. However, it still suffers from poor cycling stability mainly incurred by the undesirable P2–O2 phase transition. Herein, the electrochemically active Fe3+ ions are introduced into the lattice of NNMO, forming Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3–xFexO2 (x = 0, 1/24, 1/12, 1/8, 1/6) to effectively stabilize the P2-type crystalline structure. In such Fe-substituted materials, both Ni2+/Ni4+ and Fe3+/Fe4+ couples take part in the redox reactions, and the P2–O2 phase transition is well restrained during cycling, as verified by ex situ X-ray diffraction. As a result, the optimized Na2/3Ni1/3Mn7/12Fe1/12O2 (1/12-NNMF) has a long-term cycling stability with the fading rate of 0.05% per cycle over 300 cycles at 5 C. Furthermore, the 1/12-NNMF delivers excellent rate capabilities (65 mA h g–1 at 25 C) and superior low-temperature performance (the capacity retention of 94% at −25 °C after 80 cycles) owing to the enhanced Na diffusion upon Fe doping, which is deduced by the studies of electrode kinetics. More significantly, the 1/12-NNMF also displays remarkable sodium-ion full-cell properties when merged with an LS–Sb@G anode, thus implying the possibility of their practical application.

Enzymatic electrodes over-coated by thin film of nano-composite made up of polymer and functionalized nano-gold particle was prepared. Glucose/O 2 membrane-free enzymatic fuel cell based on nano-composite based electrodes with incorporated glucose oxidase and laccase was assembled. This enzymatic fuel cell exhibited high energy out-put density even when applied in human serum. Catalytic cycle involved in enzymatic fuel cell was limited by oxidation of glucose occurred on bioanode resulting from impact of sophisticated interaction between active site in glucose oxidase and nano-gold particle on configuration of redox center of enzyme molecule which crippled catalytic efficiency of redox protein.

Develop Pd-based catalysts for propylene epoxidation with H 2 and O 2. • Sn species in PdSn/Ti-MWW increase the electron density of Pd. • Increased electron density of Pd enhances the H 2 utilization. • Sn significantly promotes the catalytic propylene epoxidation. The low-temperature epoxidation of propylene with H 2 and O 2 to propylene oxide (PO), commonly referred to as the low-temperature HOPO process, over titanosilicate zeolite-supported Pd catalysts is economically attractive and environmentally friendly. However, PO selectivity remains a major challenge for these systems and is comparatively low, because this process is commonly accompanied with propylene hydrogenation to propane. In the present study, a novel and efficient Ti-MWW-supported PdSn catalyst (PdSn/Ti-MWW) was developed for this low-temperature HOPO process, displaying a substantially high PO selectivity. The results on extensive characterizations, in combination with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, for PdSn/Ti-MWW and Pd/Ti-MWW verify that the introduction of Sn species into Pd/Ti-MWW can boost the electron density of Pd species while does not affect the coordination states of Ti species and the textural properties of the zeolite. Interestingly, the enhanced Pd electron density will weaken the adsorption of propylene on the Pd active sites, resulting in inhibiting propylene hydrogenation, which is beneficial for the selective production of PO. Catalytic tests reveal that the optimal 0.33Pd0.22Sn/Ti-MWW catalyst achieves a PO selectivity of 68.4 % and a maximum PO productivity of 7.5 mol g Pd -1 h −1 , far exceeding monometallic Pd/Ti-MWW, while the undesired propane selectivity drops sharply. Moreover, PdSn/Ti-MWW shows an excellent stability and reusability as key catalytic traits. Thus, this work establishes an effective electronic modulation strategy for designing high-performance bimetallic Pd catalysts, and lays solid experimental and theoretical foundations for the industrial application of sustainable low-temperature HOPO technology.

The electrocatalytic reduction of O2via two-electron reaction (2e-ORR) to H2O2represents a promising alternative to the current anthraquinone process, since it is advantageous in the sustainable and decentralized production of H2O2. Herein, we report the development of oxygen and nitrogen-rich few-layered graphene-like materials (ms-dcda) by the one-step carbonization of biomass-sourced monosaccharides (D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, D-ribose, D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-mannose) with the aid of dicyandiamide for electrochemical O2reduction to H2O2. The ms-dcdamaterials were porous and possessed wrinkled morphology typical of graphene nanosheets. In H2O2production via 2e-ORR in an acidic electrolyte, these ms-dcdamaterials were all active and stable catalysts, among which glu-dcdaderived from D-glucose and dicyandiamide displayed the lowest onset potential of 0.553 V and the highest selectivity of up to 91.6%. The catalyst was also highly stable in chronoamperometric tests. Selective chemical titration of the C–OH and C=O groups revealed that the latter is far more active and selective than the former in 2e-ORR. Moreover, a positive correlation between the contents of C=O and pyrrolic N and the H2O2partial current suggests that the pyrrolic N group also contributes to 2e-ORR. This work affords a facile strategy for the sustainable fabrication of metal-free carbon-based catalysts efficient for H2O2electrosynthesis.

The need for bi-functional catalysts that facilitate both the oxygen reduction (ORR) and carbon dioxide reduction (CO 2 RR) reactions arises from their potential to help solve the critical problems of carbon neutrality and renewable energy conversion. However, there are few reports on the development of bi-functional catalysts for zinc-air battery-driven CO 2 RR devices. We introduce a novel approach for synthesizing Fe 2 N/Fe 3 C species embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers by electrospinning a solution of Hemin and polyacrylonitrile in N,N-dimethylformamide. The material has an exceptional catalytic performance, with a half-wave potential of 0.91 V versus RHE for the ORR and values of over 90% for both the selectivity and Faradaic efficiency for the CO 2 RR. The high catalytic performances are attributed to the strong coupling between the Fe 3 C/Fe 2 N heterostructure and the Fe-N-C sites in the nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers. Notably, both Fe 3 C and Fe 2 N play distinct roles in both the ORR and CO 2 RR. This investigation indicates a way for designing advanced carbon-based bi-functional catalysts for use in this field.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a highly efficacious therapeutic modality for malignant tumors owing to its non-invasive property and minimal adverse effects. However, the pervasive hypoxic microenvironment within tumors significantly compromises the efficacy of oxygen-dependent PDT, posing a formidable challenge to the advancement of high-efficiency PDT. Here, we developed a nanostructured photosensitizer (PS) assembled by cationic and anionic zinc phthalocyanines to load oxygen-throttling drug atovaquone (ATO), which was subsequently coated with polydopamine to obtain the final product ATO/ZnPc-CA@DA. ATO/ZnPc-CA@DA exhibited excellent stability, particularly in the blood milieu. Interestingly, the acidic microenvironment can trigger drug release from ATO/ZnPc-CA@DA, leading to a significant enhancement in fluorescence and an augmented generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ATO/ZnPc-CA@DA can induce synergistic cytotoxicity of PS and ATO, and significantly enhance the killing ability against tumor cells under hypoxic conditions. The mechanism underlying cytotoxicity of ATO/ZnPc-CA@DA was demonstrated to be associated with augmented cell apoptosis, disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential, diminished ATP production, heightened intracellular ROS generation, and reduced intracellular oxygen consumption. The animal experiments indicated that ATO/ZnPc-CA@DA possessed enhanced tumor targeting capability, along with a reduction in PS distribution within normal organs. Furthermore, ATO/ZnPc-CA@DA exhibited enhanced inhibitory effect on tumor growth and caused aggravated damage to tumor tissue. The construction strategy of nanostructured PS and the synergistic antitumor principle of combined oxygen-throttling drugs can be applied to other PSs, thereby advancing the development of photodynamic antitumor therapy and promoting the clinical translation.

N -cyclohexylcyclohexanimine (N-CCA), a by-product of cyclohexylamine (CHA) oxidation to cyclohexanone oxime (CHO), was used as the starting reactant for the efficient conversion to CHO under an oxygen atmosphere, utilizing the constructed surface hydroxyl-rich Ti-based catalysts. Of these, the 20% TiO 2 /Hβ catalyst exhibited unique catalytic activity and stability, achieving 45.9% N-CCA conversion and 82.1% CHO selectivity, with the content of high-boiling by-products not exceeding 1.0%. The superior catalytic performance, as evidenced by characterization results, stems primarily from: (i) the combination of TiO 2 and Hβ, which promotes the formation of a high specific surface area with fine TiO 2 nanoparticles and high-density Ti δ+ active sites, which facilitate the adsorption and activation of N-CCA; (ii) the construction of rich hydroxyl groups, which enhances the Brønsted acid sites, thereby improving the generation of active oxygen species; (iii) the intercrystalline embedding of TiO 2 and Hβ, which forms Ti–O–Si bonds, effectively inhibiting Ti leaching and ensuring excellent catalyst stability. The conversion of N-CCA, the main by-product of CHA oxidation, to the desired CHO using an efficient and robust 20% TiO 2 /Hβ catalyst represents an attractive pathway.

The photocatalytic direct one-step two-electron (2e-) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) holds great potential in efficient H2O2 synthesis. However, it is still a significant challenge to design photocatalysts for achieving high-efficiency H2O2 production via this direct one-step 2e- ORR pathway. To address this, we have constructed a Z-scheme BAIO/C3N4 heterojunction by in situ growing Ba2AgIO6 (BAIO) on the surface of C3N4 nanosheets. Under visible light irradiation, the optimal sample, with a BAIO:C3N4 mass ratio of 1:1.5, exhibited a remarkable H2O2 yield of up to 535.9 μmol g-1 h-1, which is 8.8 times higher than that of pure C3N4. This enhancement is attributed to the improved charge separation and migration efficiency facilitated by the enhanced internal electric field (IEF) in BAIO/C3N4 heterojunction. Furthermore, the heterojunction altered the O2 adsorption configuration to the Yeager-type, promoting a more efficient and selective direct one-step 2e- ORR for H2O2 production. This study highlights the importance of regulating the reaction pathway to enhance photocatalytic H2O2 production activity and offers a new insight for designing highly active photocatalysts.

Spinel-type Co3O4 has been identified as a highly prospective cathode catalyst for lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), attributable to its distinctive bimetallic active sites that manifest exceptional bifunctional catalytic characteristics. Nonetheless, the practical implementation of this process is constrained by the inherent conductivity limitations of Co3O4 and the suboptimal utilization of active sites. In this study, a Cu-Mn bimetallic doping strategy is employed to prepare a spherical-like structure of Co3O4 formed by self-assembling one-dimensional nanorods. The introduction of Cu²⁺ results in a reduction of the surface energy of the system, thereby facilitating the directional growth of the nanorods. The redox-active Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ pairs exhibit an inhibitory effect on Ostwald ripening, achieved by stabilizing the fine particles during synthesis and regulating solute diffusion kinetics. This combined action of Cu and Mn enhances active site exposure and optimizes charge transfer kinetics. Furthermore, the doping of bimetallic ions resulted in the redistribution of the Co3+/Co2+ ratio, optimizing the electronic structure for efficient charge transfer during the reaction. The combination of tailored electronic states and optimized nanostructures demonstrates excellent dual-functional catalytic activity for ORR and OER, with a half-wave potential of 0.71 V (vs RHE) for OER and an overpotential of 400 mV (10 mA cm-2) for ORR. The assembled LOBs can be stably cycled up to 450 cycles and an ultra-high discharge capacity of 7268 mAh g-1 for LOBs. This study provides a novel reference for the design of efficient bifunctional catalysts.
