In this study, a series of Pd-supported black phosphorus–graphene (Pd/BP-G) catalysts are prepared to explore their electrocatalytic performances in the electrooxidation of ethanol in alkaline media. The characterization results show that BP is combined with activated graphene to form a P–C bond and a P–O–C bond heterojunction. Pd nanoparticles equally anchor on the BP-G hybrid, and Pd/BP-G exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity for the ethanol oxidation reaction in alkaline media. The electrochemically active surface area and mass activity for the Pd/BP-G catalyst reached 210.4 m2·gPd–1 and 3960.0 mA·mgPd–1, which are 9.54 and 5.86 times higher than those of commercial Pd/C, respectively. Further studies show that Pd/BP-G catalysts have reliable stabilities and faster reaction kinetics. These results indicate that the prepared Pd/BP-G catalysts have great application potentials in direct ethanol fuel cells.

Regulating the electronic structure of the metal electrocatalyst is fundamental for its performance optimizing. The electronic states of the active metal centers are highly dependent on their coordination environment, especially when bonding is formed. The π back-bonding can induce great electron density redistribution around metals, yet it is barely applied in electrocatalyst design. Herein we electrodeposited metallic cobalt on black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets, forming BP-Co with a unique π back-bonding on the interfaces. The BP-Co exhibited high electrocatalytic activity and stability for hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte. The electrochemical and spectroscopic characterizations demonstrated that the BP acted as σ donor and π acceptor to coordinate with electron-rich metallic Co, similar to the phosphine complex. The directional σ bond strengthen the relationship between BP and Co, while the non-directional π bond accelerated the in-plane electron transfer. The π back donation also decreased the oxophilicity of Co to make BP-Co resist the poison from oxygen species. This study can intrigue new thinking prospective for the electrocatalyst design.

A composite solid-state electrolyte (SSE) with acceptable safety and durability is considered as a potential candidate for high-performance lithium–oxygen (Li–O2) batteries. Herein, to address the safety issues and improve the electrochemical performance of Li–O2 batteries, a solvent-free composite SSE is prepared based on the thermal initiation of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate radical polymerization, and an integrated battery is achieved by injecting an electrolyte precursor between electrodes during the assembly process through a simple heat treatment. The Li-metal symmetric cells based on this composite SSE achieve a critical current density of 0.8 mA cm–2 and a stable cycle life of over 900 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm–2. This composite SSE effectively inhibits the erosion of O2 on the Li metal anode, optimizes the interface between the electrolyte and cathode, and provides abundant reaction sites for the electrochemical reactions during cycling. The integrated solid-state Li–O2 battery prepared in this work achieves stable long cycling (118 cycles) at a current density of 500 mA g–1 at room temperature, showing the promising future application prospects.

Palladium is an important metal as it has a wide range of applications in different fields but can cause cancer in human beings. Therefore, precise quantification of palladium is important. For this purpose, new material Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase having unique properties like high stability, thermal conductivity and environmental friendly has been synthesized. To increase its surface area of Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase, graphene oxide (GO) has been incorporated to form Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase GO nanocomposite. Ti 3 AlC 2 max phase GO nanocomposite was used as solid phase extracting material for microextraction and preconcentration of Pd(II) in environmental samples and medical appliances. Characterization of the adsorbent was achieved by using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and surface area analyzer (SAA). All the parameters that influence the extraction efficiency of the adsorbent like solution pH, amount of adsorbent, volume of sample, vortex time, desorption condition and interferences effect were determined and optimized. The limit of detection (0.327 µg/L) and limit of quantification (1.09 µg/L) show that the method is highly sensitive. The relative standard deviation was calculated as 5.48 % for five repeated measurements, which shows that the developed method is reproducible. The method is highly efficient with large values of preconcentration factor (20) and enhancement factors (20). The method was validated by applying the method to real water samples, soil samples and medical appliances with satisfied recovery results (94–106 %).

Electrolyte plays a crucial role in constructing the ionic transport paths and oxygen diffusion routes along with maintaining the interfacial stability based on the open working environment of lithium–oxygen batteries. Herein, on the basis of a succinonitrile-based gel polymer electrolyte prepared by in situ thermal-cross-linking ethoxylate trimethylolpropane triacrylate monomer, the SLFE-5%LAGP formed by further adding Li1+xAlxGe2–x(PO4)3 (LAGP) has high ionic conductivity at room temperature (3.71 mS cm–1 at 25 °C), high lithium-ion transference number (tLi+ = 0.644), and excellent long-term stability of the Li/SLFE-5%LAGP/Li symmetric cell at a current density of 0.1 mA cm–2 for over 600 h. More importantly, LAGP can provide adsorption sites for oxygen molecules on its surface followed by the reduction of oxygen and the formation of Li2O2. Consequently, the cell equipped with the SLFE-5%LAGP has an ultrahigh discharge capacity (5652.8 mAh g–1) that exceeds the liquid electrolyte system and achieves an ultralong stable cycling of 52 cycles. This work deepens the understanding of the solid-state lithium–oxygen batteries through the integrated design of electrolytes and electrodes to realize the superior solid–solid contact interface and achieve stable long-term cycling processes.

Lead-acid batteries (LABs) are commonly used in various energy-storage areas, but their lifetime is seriously limited by the corrosion of the positive grids in deep charge-discharge cycles. Among various factors, the composition of grid alloy is key to determining its corrosion behaviors . Herein, PbBaSnAl (PBSA) alloys with different contents of Ba are prepared by using an induction melter in an argon-filled glovebox. The results of electrochemical measurement show that the oxygen evolution potential of PBSA increases from 1.8586 V to 1.8815 V, and the corrosion rate decreases from 0.4949 mg·h −1 ·cm −2 to 0.2211 mg·h −1 ·cm −2 . The results of mechanical tests show that after Ba is added, the strain of the alloy increases and the fracture of the alloy decreases during grid creep. This work provides a promising Ba-containing positive grid alloy instead of the commercial PbCaSnAl (PCSA) grid alloy, which may prolong the service life of LABs and improve the application of LABs in energy storage areas.

Copper impregnated carbon/carbon composite (Cu-C/C composite) was fabricated for novel sliding collector material by weaving carbon fiber, heat treatment and Cu alloy impregnation. The effects of counterpart materials (Fe ball and Cu ball) on friction and wear behaviors were investigated and compared with the result of carbon contact strip used in high-speed railway. Morphology, chemical composition, phase and structure of wear surface and tribolayer were characterized to clarify tribological mechanisms. The results show that friction coefficient follows the order: Cu-C/C composite/Cu ball > carbon contact strip/Fe ball > Cu-C/C composite/Fe ball > carbon contact strip/Cu ball. The carbon crystalline of wear surface appears preferred orientation along the sliding orientation, which is benefit for boundary lubrication . When the counterpart material is Fe ball, Cu-C/C composite is superior to pure carbon strip in mechanical strength , electrical conductivity , wear resistance and friction performance.

The layered structural black phosphorus (BP), as an emerging two-dimensional material, has aroused great interest due to its intriguing electrochemical properties , but its poor stability greatly limits its practical application. This work utilized a unique heteroatomic carbon microsphere (PZSC) obtained by carbonization of polyphosphazene microspheres as PZSC (-), and modified BP with PZSC using a simple ultrasound assisted liquid exfoliation technique to obtain BP/PZSC (+). The BP modified with PZSC greatly improved the cycling stability and specific capacitance, displaying a high specific capacitance of 843.1 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 . The assembled hybrid BP/PZSC (+) // PZSC (-) supercapacitor exhibits high specific capacitance, power and energy density (57.1 F g −1 , 799.9 W kg −1 , 20.3 Wh kg −1 ) with excellent cycle stability (96%, 5000r). This work effectively promotes the application of BP-based and heteroatomic carbon-based materials in the field of supercapacitors.

Efficient adsorption of radioactive 137 Cs + and 60 Co 2+ and their decay products 137 Ba 2+ and 60 Ni 2+ bears significance for hazard elimination in case of nuclear emergency, which relies on the adsorption rate enhancement that takes advantages of compositional and structural optimization. Herein, we report a zinc-doped selenidostannate constructed from T2-supertetrahedral clusters, namely K 3.4 (CH 3 NH 3 ) 0.45 (NH 4 ) 0.15 Zn 2 Sn 3 Se 10 ·3.4 H 2 O ( ZnSnSe‐1K ). The soft Se and micro-porosity synergistically endow this material with a binding affinity to Cs + , Ba 2+ , Co 2+ , and Ni 2+ ions and ultrafast kinetics with R > 97.6% in 2–60 min. In particular, ZnSnSe‐1K can remove 99.34% of Cs + in 2 min ( K d Cs > 1.5 × 10 5 mL g −1 ), contributing to a record rate constant k 2 of 9.240 g mg −1 min −1 that surpasses all metal chalcogenide adsorbents. ZnSnSe‐1K exhibits good acid/base tolerance (pH = 0–12), and the adsorption capacities at neutral are 253.61 ± 9.15, 108.94 ± 25.32, 45.76 ± 14.19 and 38.49 ± 2.99 mg g −1 for Cs + , Ba 2+ , Co 2+ , and Ni 2+ , respectively. The adsorption performances resist well co-existing cations and anions, and the removal rates can keep above or close to 90% even in sea water. ZnSnSe‐1K is employed in continuous column and membrane filtration, both of which shows excellent elimination efficiency ( R > 99%) for mixed Cs + , Ba 2+ , Co 2+ , and Ni 2+ . Especially, the membrane with an ultrathin (70 µm) ZnSnSe‐1K layer can remove 97–100% Cs + in suction filtration with a short contact time of 0.33 s. Combined with the simple synthesis, facile elution and great irradiation resistance, ZnSnSe‐1K emerges as a selenide adsorbent candidate for use in environmental remediation especially that involving nuclear waste disposal .

Electronegative S-filled skutterudite compounds have attracted considerable attention due to scattering of low-frequency phonons (35–50 cm − 1 ), but there are few reports on S-filled double-substituted skutterudite. In this work, a series of S-filled Te-Sn double-substituted skutterudite compounds were synthesized using high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) method. The phase composition, microstructure, and thermoelectric properties of S x Co 4 Sb 1 1 Te 0 . 7 Sn 0 . 3 ( x = 0 , 0.05, 0.10, 0.20) samples were systematically determined. The results show that the introduction of S increases the substitution limit of Te in the Sb site. Under the combined effect of the sample synthesis pressure and S filling, the nucleation density of the sample grains increases and the grain size decreases. At the same time, there are numerous special microstructures in the samples synthesized in a high-pressure environment. Thermoelectric performance studies show that a small amount of S filling optimizes the Seebeck coefficient of the sample and increases the power factor (PF). With an increase of the amount of S introduced, the thermal conductivity of the samples decreases significantly. Therefore, the maximum zT value of an S 0 . 0 5 Co 4 Sb 1 1 Te 0 . 7 Sn 0 . 3 sample synthesized at 2.5 GPa pressure is 0.17 at room temperature. The maximum zT value of the sample is 1.26 at 773 K.

Recent developments in 3D printing technology have been applied in the field of tissue engineering to fabricate customized bone repair scaffolds. β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a bioceramic material with excellent potential as a scaffold foundation. Doping metallic ions with β-TCP will significantly enhance the mechanical property and bone regeneration performance compared with pure β-TCP specimens. In this study, we proposed a protocol for the fabrication of a Sn-doped β-TCP (Sn@TCP) scaffold using 3D printing technology, and the effect of Sn-doping on the physicochemical properties of the material and its in vitro bioactivity were investigated. Polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl alcohol were used as binder to construct Sn@TCP scaffolds which have good biocompability and can break down into H2O and CO2 after scaffolds sintering. The appearance of the scaffold constructed by 3D printing technology closely matched the computer design. The incorporation of Sn into β-TCP improved the compressive strength of the scaffold. Moreover, the Sn@TCP scaffold retained the inherently good biocompatibility of β-TCP and exhibited better osteoinduction capability than pure β-TCP scaffolds. Notably, the osteoinduction ability of Sn@TCP scaffolds were dependent on the Sn content. In conclusion, the 3D printing of Sn@TCP scaffolds with enhanced mechanical properties and osteoblast-inducing activity show great promise as scaffold materials in bone tissue engineering applications.

Alloy-type materials have aroused wide concern as potential anodes for Na-ion batteries (NIBs) because of their high theoretical capacities and suitable Na-storage potentials. Fabricating composites with carbon matrixes is the most common strategy to solve their key issues of large volume expansion and sluggish reaction kinetics. However, it is still challenging to achieve strong interfacial interaction between alloy-type materials and carbon matrixes, thus largely improving the buffering effect of carbon matrixes on volume change. Herein, we have developed a SnSb-graphene (SnSb-G) hybrid anode with interfacial Sn/Sb–C bonding via a plasma-assisted mechanochemical method. The Sn/Sb–C bonding can enhance the interfacial interaction between SnSb and graphene, which inhibits the detachment of SnSb nanoparticles from graphene upon cycling and promotes the buffering effect of graphene. Meanwhile, the strong interfacial bonding of conductive graphene network to SnSb nanoparticles can greatly facilitate the Na+ storage/transfer along the SnSb/graphene interface, rendering electrode superior performance at high rates. Therefore, as an anode for NIBs, the SnSb-G composite exhibits superb rate capability (301.5 mAh g–1 at 10.0 A g–1) and cyclic stability (85.8%/89.1% capacity retentions at 1.0/2.0 A g–1 after 1000 cycles). Moreover, the assembled full cell delivers a high energy density of 145 Wh kg–1 and superior cycling performance of 333.6 mAh g–1 after 200 cycles, demonstrating its potential for practical application. This work provides new insight to achieve high-performance alloy-type anodes for practical NIBs.
