Ammonia (NH 3 ) is a hazardous pollutant that poses significant health and environmental risks, necessitating efficient removal strategies. Schottky junction-enhanced photothermal catalytic oxidation offers a promising approach to address the limitations of conventional photocatalysis, including low solar energy utilization and suboptimal catalytic performance. Here, metal nanoparticles (Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag) were loaded onto Mo-doped TiO 2 to construct Schottky junctions, resulting in significantly improved NH 3 oxidation performance. Notably, Pt uniquely outperformed other metals due to its exceptional stability in maintaining a metallic state even after prolonged exposure. In-situ DRIFTS analysis revealed a distinct ·NH 2 pathway for NH 3 oxidation on Pt/Mo-TiO 2 , differing from mechanisms observed in other metal-loaded catalysts. Combined experimental findings and DFT analyses provided direct evidence of the relationship between chemical states of metals, Schottky junction formation, and enhanced electron-hole separation. This study offers valuable theoretical insights into Schottky junction-enhanced photothermal catalysis and highlights its potential for efficient NH₃ removal under solar irradiation.

Aiming for promoting the capacity and cycling stability of O3-type NaNi 1/3 Fe 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (NFM), the cathode material of sodium ion batteries (SIBs) with the most potential for industrialization, Na(Ni 1/3 Fe 1/3 Mn 1/3 ) 0.99 Mo 0.01 O 1.99 F 0.01 (NFM-MoF), Na(Ni 1/3 Fe 1/3 Mn 1/3 ) 0.99 Mo 0.01 O 2 (NFM-Mo) and NaNi 1/3 Fe 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 1.99 F 0.01 (NFM-F) were successfully synthesized by solid phase method. The electrochemical performance of the doped samples was compared with that of the pristine NFM. The mechanism of the single- or dual-doping was explored by XRD Rietveld refinement and XPS. The NFM-MoF exhibits the highest initial specific discharge capacity of 137mAhg −1 at 1 C with a retention of 91.97% after 100 cycles and the smallest polarization (0.32 V), which could be contributed to the highest Ni 2+ content and highest D Na + (7.335 ×10 −13 cm 2 ·s −1 ) caused by the synergistic effect of Mo and F dual-doping. The highest Fe 3+ content in the NFM-Mo leads to the higher initial discharge capacity of 1 36 mAhg −1 at 1 C with a relative lower retention of 83.38%, which is due to the structure instability resulting from Fe migration and the lowest Mn content, than that of the NFM-F (85.31%). It illustrates that the Mn 4+ plays a crucial role in stabilizing the structure during Na + migrating. The superiority of the discharge capacity of the NFM-Mo become narrow with rates rise, due to its lower D Na + (4.229 ×10 −13 cm 2 ·s −1 ) than that of the NFM-F D Na + (5.681 ×10 −13 cm 2 ·s −1 ). It verifies that it is a diffusion control process at high rates. Mo and F dual-doping in NFM was proved to amplify the benefit of Ni 2+ increasing, meanwhile restrain undesirable Fe increasing due to the synergistic effect.

Rechargeable lithium–sulfur batteries have attracted tremendous scientific attention owing to their high energy density. However, their practical application is greatly hindered by the notorious shuttling of soluble lithium polysulfide (LPS) intermediates with sluggish redox reactions and uncontrolled precipitation behavior. Herein, we report a semiliquid cathode composed of an active LPS solution/carbon nanofiber (CNF) composite layer, capped with a carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film decorated with metallic Mo nanoclusters that regulate the electrochemical redox reactions of LPS. The trace amount (0.05 mg cm–2) of metallic Mo on the CNT film provides sufficient capturing centers for the chemical immobilization of LPS. Together with physical blocking of LPS by the compact CNT film, free diffusion of LPS is significantly restrained and the self-discharge behavior of the Li–S cell is thus effectively suppressed. Importantly, the metallic Mo nanoclusters enable fast catalytic conversion of LPS and regular deposition of lithium sulfide. As a result, the engineered cathode exhibits a high active sulfur utilization (1401 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C), stable cycling (500 cycles at 1 C with 0.06% decay per cycle), high rate performance (694 mAh g–1 at 5 C), and low self-discharge rate (3% after 72 h of rest). Moreover, a high reversible areal capacity of 4.75 mAh cm–2 is maintained after 100 cycles at 0.2 C for a cathode with a high sulfur loading of 7.64 mg cm–2. This work provides significant insight into the structural and materials design of an advanced sulfur-based cathode that effectively regulates the electrochemical reactions of sulfur species in high-energy Li–S batteries.

Highly efficient, cost-effective, and durable electrocatalysts are crucial for scalable renewable hydrogen production via water electrolysis. Herein, a Ni 3 Se 2 –Mo@NiFe-LDH composite catalyst was synthesized through a hierarchical strategy combining two-step hydrothermal treatment and electrodeposition. The catalyst exhibits outstanding OER performance, delivering a low overpotential of 205 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and stable operation for 200 h. In this heterostructure, the conductive Ni 3 Se 2 core promotes electron transport, while the in-situ formed NiMoO 4 phase regulates the electronic structure to optimize oxygen intermediate adsorption. Meanwhile, the NiFe-LDH shell undergoes surface reconstruction during operation, forming an active oxyhydroxide layer that activates the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM). Operando Raman spectroscopy and post-stability analyses (XPS, SEM, ICP-OES) verify the formation of the active phase and preserved structural integrity. The synergistic effects of electronic modulation and interfacial engineering accelerate charge transfer and reduce OER kinetic barriers, offering an effective strategy for developing high-performance non-precious-metal OER catalysts.

Different from the traditional single strategy of strengthening molybdenum matrix, we designed a full chain preparation process to regulate the Mo-TiC alloy matrix at three scales. Refining the grain size of traditional large-sized molybdenum alloy from >10 μm to <3 μm lays the foundation for high strength. Next, optimizing the dislocation distribution to generate subgrain boundaries at lower scales and layered structures of low/high defect grain regions at higher scales. The subgrain boundaries with high stability due to ultrafine grain pinning could first pin dislocations and indirectly slow down the dislocation accumulation at grain boundaries. Furthermore, the cracks restricted by layered structure tend to propagate longitudinally, which reduces local stress concentration and promotes further stress dispersion through long-distance plastic deformation. Based on the above factors, the Mo-TiC alloy possesses a combination of high strength (792.9 MPa) and excellent plasticity (26.2%), which provides a new perspective for preparing high-performance refractory alloys.

Electrocatalytic conversion of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste into formate coupled with hydrogen generation represents a sustainable pathway for plastic upcycling. Herein, a nickel sulfide catalyst (Mo,Cl-Ni3S2) is developed for efficient and stable ethylene glycol (PET monomer) oxidation reaction (EGOR) through a Mo and Cl co-doping strategy. The optimized catalyst Mo,Cl-Ni3S2 possesses a high formate Faradaic efficiency of 94.0% at 1.55 V vs. RHE. Moreover, it maintains 83.3% of its initial activity after 95 hours continuous operation at an industrial current density of 300 mA/cm2. Experiment and theoretical simulations demonstrate Mo and Cl co-doping optimizes the electronic structure of Ni3S2 by upshifting the Ni d-band center and facilitates the in situ structure reconstruction during EGOR. Finally, an integrated acidification-precipitation-recrystallization strategy is proposed to separate and recover terephthalic acid (TPA) and potassium formate. This method offers a holistic approach for upcycling PET waste into value-added chemicals and hydrogen.

Encapsulating the USY zeolite within a mesoporous SBA-15 shell is a promising strategy to construct hierarchical catalysts with regulated acidity. However, the acidic conditions required for SBA-15 synthesis pose a stability challenge to the acid-sensitive USY core. In this work, we first systematically investigated the physicochemical evolution of USY under simulated SBA-15 synthesis conditions by varying the acid concentration, temperature, and treatment time. Through XRD, N2 physisorption, NH3-TPD, and Py-FTIR analysis, the optimal conditions for USY to retain its framework integrity and Brønsted acidity were determined to be ≤1.0 M HCl and treatment time ≤24 h. This acid-tailored optimization is essential for the subsequent fabrication of the core–shell structure. Guided by these findings, the Ni–Mo/USY@SBA-15 core–shell catalyst is successfully prepared and evaluated in naphthalene hydrocracking, achieving 97.8% conversion and 51.6% BTX selectivity, outperforming conventional Ni–Mo/USY (92.6% conversion and 26.0% BTX selectivity). XPS analysis provides direct evidence of the spatially regulated metal-acid distribution and enhanced electron density on active sites. The performance enhancement is attributed to the hierarchical pore structure and the spatially regulated metal-acid distribution, which together enhance mass transfer, optimize acid site accessibility, and suppress overcracking. This study provides an acid-tolerance-guided synthesis strategy for designing high-performance core–shell zeolite catalysts.

The multi-anion molybdenum-based nanohybrids, N-doped β-Mo2C/MoP/MoOx (denoted as MoCPO), serving as a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), are fabricated via a simple and scalable electrosynthesis in molten NaCl–KCl, which integrates pyrolysis/electroreduction/compounding into a one-pot strategy using polyphosphazenes (PPAs) and earth-abundant molybdenite (mainly MoS2) as precursors. The deliberately selected PPA and molten electrolyte ensure the unique lamellar nanostructures and the blending of multiple anions of C, N, P, and O in the obtained catalyst, specifically, triggering the in situ formation of the structural oxygen vacancies (VO) in MoCPO. The nature of the hybrids can be regulated by adjusting the synthesis condition. The optimized hybrid displays a low overpotential of 99.2 mV at 10 mA cm–2 for HER in 0.5 M H2SO4 and stays active over a broad pH range. The theoretical calculations reveal that VO in the hybrids serves as favorable active sites, thus contributing to the superior HER activity. Moreover, MoCPO is also effective for overall water splitting as a bifunctional catalyst.

Er 3+ -doped fiber lasers operating at 2.7 μm have attracted increasing interest because of their various important applications; however, the intrinsic self-terminating effect of Er 3+ and the reliability of glass hosts hindered the development of Er 3+ -doped fiber lasers. Herein, the glass-forming regions of a series TeO 2 –Ga 2 O 3 –R 2 O (or MO) (R = Li, Na, and Rb; M = Mg, Sr, Ba, Pb, and Zn) glasses are predicted by the thermodynamic calculation method. On this basis, the physical and optical properties of TeO 2 –Ga 2 O 3 –ZnO (TGZ) glass are investigated in detail as an example. Under the excitation of 980 nm laser diode, the fluorescence intensity at 2.7 μm reaches a maximum in the heavily Er 3+ -doped TGZ glass. By contrast, the accompanying near-infrared fluorescence at 1.5 μm and upconversion green emissions at 528 nm and 546 nm are all effectively weaken. Furthermore, the lifetime gap between the 4 I 11/2 upper laser level and 4 I 13/2 lower laser level is sharply narrowed from 2.81 ms to 0.59 ms, which is beneficial to overcome the population conversion bottleneck. All results demonstrate that these newly developed ternary tellurite glass systems are promising candidates for near-/mid-infrared laser glass fiber, fiber amplifiers, and fiber lasers.

The high-temperature corrosion behavior of an AlN/Mo functionally graded material (FGM) under the Li/LiF-LiCl-LiBr vapor has been investigated. It is suggested that the Li vapor diffuses along the AlN and AlN/Mo grain boundaries and enters the interior of adjacent AlN grains, leading to the disintegration of AlN grains and subsequent failures. The 3D Mo networks are barely corroded, thus preventing cracking that may occur due to the inconsistent deformation inside the FGM. This work unravels the high-temperature corrosion mechanisms for the AlN/Mo FGM. Meanwhile, the operating temperature threshold for the liquid metal batteries employing Mo/AlN/Mo seals is determined to be ∼ 600 °C.

In the photocatalytic process, mixed-phase TiO 2 tends to have more carrier transport channels compared with single-phase TiO 2 , which can further accelerate the separation of photogenerated carriers. In this study, biphasic TiO 2 nanofibers containing both rutile and anatase phases were synthesized by electrostatic spinning technique. Subsequently, a variety of biphasic TiO 2 /Ag 3 PO 4 nanofiber photocatalytic materials with different ratios were prepared by combining the in situ growth process. The test results confirm that not only heterojunctions are formed between the components of the composites, but also the optical properties are improved. When the content of Ag 3 PO 4 was 25 wt%, the composite showed excellent photocatalytic activity for both rhodamine B (RHB) and methyl orange (MO). In addition, the main active substances and stability of the composite were investigated by doing active agent capture experiments and stability tests, and a reasonable photocatalytic mechanism was proposed on the basis of the relevant test results.
