Although lithium–oxygen batteries (LOBs) hold great promise as future energy storage systems, they are impeded by insulated discharge product Li 2 O 2 and sluggish oxygen reduction reaction/oxygen evolution revolution (ORR/OER) kinetics. The application of a highly efficient cathode catalyst determines the LOBs performance. The d-band modulation and catalytic kinetics promotion are important concept guidelines for the performance enhancement of cathode catalysts. In this work, the homogeneous in-plane distortion-derived synergistic catalytic capability of an Ag 2 Mo 2 O 7 catalyst with modulated d-band centers and promoted ORR/OER kinetics is demontrated. The uniform elongation of Ag─O bonds and compression of Mo─O bonds in (020) plane leads to d-band splitting and d-band center optimization and delivers improved adsorption behavior for high ORR/OER capability. Furthermore, the spatial and energy overlap of Ag d xz and O 2 anti-bonding π * orbitals facilitate electron injection during ORR process and reduce the energy barrier for charge transfer and O 2 desorption during OER process, accelerating the ORR/OER kinetics. As a result, the (020) plane-exposed Ag 2 Mo 2 O 7 cathode exhibits ultralong cycle stability of 817 cycles at 500 mA g −1 and large specific discharge/charge capacities of 15898/15180 mAh g −1 . This work provides facile concept guidance for optimizing catalytic capability through controlled lattice distortion in cathode catalysts for LOBs.

Herein, a novel composite of MIL-101(Fe) loaded with nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs/MIL-101(Fe), denoted as NQML), which can construct dual effect of photocatalysis and photo-Fenton for organic pollutants removal, was prepared by solvent impregnation method. Characterization methods proved that NQML had been synthesized successfully. Additionally, the adding volume of NCQDs could effectively influence the photocatalytic activities of NQML-x composites (x represents the adding volume of NCQDs) for tetracycline (TC) degradation, and NQML-8 exhibited the optimum photocatalytic performance among the studied catalysts upon visible light illumination under natural pH, which can completely degrade TC within 180 min. By comparison, the TC degradation kinetic constant in the system with NQML-8 was as 15.85 and 8.24 folds of that in the NCQDs and MIL-101(Fe) systems, respectively. The mechanism study proved that the enhanced photocatalytic performance of NQML was resulted from the visible light up-conversion property, electron-hole separation and transfer capacity of NCQDs. Meanwhile, NQML could not only produce h + but also lead to in-situ generation of O 2 - and H 2 O 2 by activation of O 2 under visible light. The generated H 2 O 2 could react with Fe(II) in MIL-101(Fe) to produce OH so as to construct a dual effect of photocatalysis and photo-Fenton in TC removal.

The power output and stability of enzyme-based biofuel cells (BFCs) is greatly dependent on the properties of both the biocathode and bioanode, which may be adapted for portable power production. In this paper, a novel highly uniform three-dimensional (3D) macroporous gold (MP-Au) film was prepared by heating the gold “supraspheres”, which were synthesized by a bottom-up protein templating approach, and followed by modification of laccase on the MP-Au film by covalent immobilization. The as-prepared laccase/MP-Au biocathode exihibited an onset potential of 0.62 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE, or 0.86 V vs NHE, normal hydrogen electrode) toward O2 reduction and a high catalytic current of 0.61 mAcm–2. On the other hand, mutated glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) surface displayed bacteria (GDH-bacteria) were used to improve the stability of the glucose oxidation at the bioanode. The as-assembled membraneless glucose/O2 fuel cell showed a high power output of 55.8 ± 2.0 μW cm–2 and open circuit potential of 0.80 V, contributing to the improved electrocatalysis toward O2 reduction at the laccase/MP-Au biocathode. Moreover, the BFC retained 84% of its maximal power density even after continuous operation for 55 h because of the high stability of the bacterial surface displayed GDH mutant toward glucose oxidation. Our findings may be promising for the development of more efficient glucose BFC for portable battery or self-powered device applications.

P2-type manganese-based cathode materials are notable for their high theoretical capacity and open prismatic channels. However, rapid capacity decay caused by harmful irreversible phase transformations (P2-O2) and oxygen release in the high-voltage region (>4.2 V) limits their commercial application. Here, a co-doping strategy with lithium and niobium is proposed to enhance the structural stability at both room-temperature (RT) and low-temperature (LT) over extended cycles. The X-ray absorption near-edge spectra and first-principles calculations reveal that Li doping elevates the valence states of transition metals, thereby enhancing the reversibility of anionic redox reactions. Additionally, Nb doping leads to the formation of a rock-salt-like phase on the surface, which improves the stability of the electrode/electrolyte interface. In situ X-ray diffraction and differential electrochemical mass spectrometry show that Li and Nb co-doping prevents the P2-O2 phase transition, suppresses gas release, and enhances long-cycle stability. The P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.24 Mn 0.64 Li 0.1 Nb 0.02 O 2 (NNMLNb) exhibits a reversible specific capacity of 127.4 mAh g −1 and 101.5 mAh g −1 at -20 °C and -30 °C, respectively. Remarkably, the sample cycles stably for 1200 cycles with a discharge capacity of 85 mAh g −1 , corresponding 90 % capacity retention. This work provides a novel strategy to improve the cycling life of sodium-ion batteries at both RT and LT.

In this study, (Ce 0.2 Zr 0.2 La 0.2 Yb 0.2 Ln 0.2 )O 2- δ (Ln = Er, Y, Sm; labelled as H-Er, H-Y, H-Sm) high-entropy fluorite oxides (HEFOs) are designed by standard deviation and first-principles calculation. These HEFOs are subsequently synthesized via solid-phase reaction method, and the phase formation, microstructure, mechanical and thermal properties of the three samples have been systematically investigated. The results show that the three samples, exhibiting a single-phase fluorite structure, are successfully prepared after sintering at 1600 °C, and all the elements are uniformly distributed with no elemental segregation and agglomeration. The calculated δ of H-Er, H-Y and H-Sm are 0.3399, 0.3668 and 0.3458, respectively, so the chemical formula of three HEFOs are (Ce 0.2 Zr 0.2 La 0.2 Yb 0.2 Er 0.2 )O 1.6601 , (Ce 0.2 Zr 0.2 La 0.2 Yb 0.2 Y 0.2 )O 1.6332 and (Ce 0.2 Zr 0.2 La 0.2 Yb 0.2 Sm 0.2 )O 1.6542 , respectively. Additionally, the effects of rare earth ions (Er, Y and Sm) on the hardness, Young's modulus and thermal conductivity of HEFOs are analyzed. H-Y exhibits the highest hardness value and largest Young's modulus among the three HEFOs, primarily due to the largest mean acoustic velocity and cohesion energy in absolute value, smallest AGS and average bond lengths. The thermal conductivities ( κ ) of the three samples are only 1.465–1.598 W m −1 K −1 at 1000 °C. Furthermore, the thermal conductivities of the three samples are significantly lower than that of 8YSZ within the temperature range from 25 °C to 1000 °C, and H-Sm exhibits the lowest thermal conductivity in this temperature range. Consequently, they are anticipated to have promising applications in the field of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs).

The limited efficiency of traditional trial-and-error experiments has impeded the development and application of high-entropy fluorite oxides in thermal insulation coatings. To solve this problem, a novel entropy descriptor based on first principles is presented to help select candidate components for synthesizing high-entropy fluorite structure oxides. Results show that the compatibilities of 10 single-phase high-entropy fluorite oxides can be accurately predicted based on entropy formation ability. In the studied (Zr, Hf, Pr, La, X) O 2-δ system, a correlation between thermal characteristics and size/mass differences was established by designing the size and mass of X. Specifically, we found that the thermal conductivity is more strongly correlated with the difference in atomic mass, while the coefficient of thermal expansion is strongly correlated with the difference in atomic size. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis shows that the concentration of oxygen vacancy can effectively reduce the thermal conductivity of high-entropy fluorite oxides. In addition, the values of hardness, elastic modulus and thermal conductivity of five single-phase fluorite oxides are successfully predicted by first principles calculation , and the differences between these values and the experimental results are small, which provides a prospective significance for the performance prediction of high-entropy fluorite oxides. Our findings provide a strategy for customizing high-entropy fluorite single-phase oxides with suitable properties to meet the performance requirements of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs).

Polyacrylate polymer is a promising polymer matrix for gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) in lithium-ion batteries . Herein, in-situ polymerized poly(ethylene glycol phenyl etheracrylate) (PEGPEA) based GPE combined with 1 M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonate/ethyl methyl carbonate (EC/DMC/EMC, 1:1:1 in volume) solvents was introduced. The maximum recoverable strain of the in-situ polymerized PEGPEA-GPE was up to 99%. The outstanding interfacial compatibility between PEGPEA-GPE and the lithium electrode was also obtained. Surprisingly, lithium dendrite was effectively suppressed in charge-discharge cycling because of polymer-enhanced solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and excellent contact interface. Furthermore, the PEGPEA-GPE exhibited wide electrochemical stability window up to 4.9 V versus Li + /Li, and achieved an ionic conductivity of 3.35 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 25 °C. When used as electrolyte, the Li[Ni 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 ]O 2 /PEGPEA-GPE/Li batteries showed high discharge capacity retention rate of 97.5% after 70 charge-discharge cycles and considerable discharge rate capability, i.e., 155 mAh g −1 0.2C, 142 mAh g −1 0.5C, 120 mAh g −1 1C, 60 mAh g −1 2C. These results demonstrate that this highly elastic in-situ polymerized PEGPEA-GPE is a potential electrolyte system for high-performance polymer electrolyte lithium-ion batteries and has excellent application prospects in wearable and flexible batteries.

To address the conflicting challenges of fat reduction, texture fidelity, and co-delivery of hydrophilic and hydrophobic bioactive compounds, this study explored an innovative O 1 /W/O 2 -microstructured bigel system, WGB(O 1 /W/O 2 ). The system was stabilized through whey protein aggregates rapidly adsorbing at dual interfaces as an amphiphilic mediator, along with hydrogen bonding formation with guar gum in hydrogel matrix. The extended multilayered structure enabled WGB(O 1 /W/O 2 ) demonstrated favorable cream cheese simulation performance in appearance, viscoelastic properties, melting behavior, and texture characteristics. Sequential degradation of each phase during digestion (O 2 -W-O 1 ) increased the intestinal release of PTS and GA by up to 3.3-fold and 1.8-fold, respectively, over conventional bigels (O/W or bicontinuous). Among the bigels, cream cheese texture similarity ranked O 1 /W/O 2 > bicontinuous>O/W. The delivery efficiency for hydrophobic PTS followed O 1 /W/O 2 > O/W > bicontinuous, while that for hydrophilic GA followed O 1 /W/O 2 > bicontinuous>O/W. This study highlights broad application prospects of WGB(O 1 /W/O 2 ) for fat-reduced and nutrient-enhanced dual-functional foods, while advances understanding of bigel microstructure evolution-properties relationships.

Hydroxylation of benzene to phenol in the [(CH 3 ) 4 N] 4 PMo 11 VO 40 /ascorbic acid/TEMPO/O 2 catalytic system was carefully investigated. UV–vis, ESR and 1 H NMR studies showed ascorbic acid radicals were formed through the hydrogen exchange of ascorbic acid with TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine-N-oxyl radicals) during the reaction. In acetonitrile, the ascorbic acid would be partly oxidized to 2-hydroxy-2-buten-4-olide (α-tetronic acid, isotetronic acid, compound 1 ) without TEMPO. The interaction of TEMPO and ascorbic acid restrained the oxidative dissociation of ascorbic acid and promoted the rate of the hydroxylation. Aqueous acetic acid solvent can also restrain the oxidative dissociation of ascorbic acid. In aqueous acetic acid, the yield of phenol could reach 18.9% in the [(CH 3 ) 4 N] 4 PMo 11 VO 40 /ascorbic acid/TEMPO/O 2 catalytic system with sufficient ascorbic acid after 400 min.

This study presents a pioneering synthesis of a direct Z-scheme Y2TmSbO7/GdYBiNbO7heterojunction photocatalyst (YGHP) using an ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal synthesis technique. Additionally, novel photocatalytic nanomaterials, namely Y2TmSbO7and GdYBiNbO7, were fabricated via the hydrothermal fabrication technique. A comprehensive range of characterization techniques, including X-ray diffractometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, photocurrent testing, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance, was employed to thoroughly investigate the morphological features, composition, chemical, optical, and photoelectric properties of the fabricated samples. The photocatalytic performance of YGHP was assessed in the degradation of the pesticide acetochlor (AC) and the mineralization of total organic carbon (TOC) under visible light exposure, demonstrating eximious removal efficiencies. Specifically, AC and TOC exhibited removal rates of 99.75% and 97.90%, respectively. Comparative analysis revealed that YGHP showcased significantly higher removal efficiencies for AC compared to the Y2TmSbO7, GdYBiNbO7, or N-doped TiO2photocatalyst, with removal rates being 1.12 times, 1.21 times, or 3.07 times higher, respectively. Similarly, YGHP demonstrated substantially higher removal efficiencies for TOC than the aforementioned photocatalysts, with removal rates 1.15 times, 1.28 times, or 3.51 times higher, respectively. These improvements could be attributed to the Z-scheme charge transfer configuration, which preserved the preferable redox capacities of Y2TmSbO7and GdYBiNbO7. Furthermore, the stability and durability of YGHP were confirmed, affirming its potential for practical applications. Trapping experiments and electron spin resonance analyses identified active species generated by YGHP, namely •OH, •O2−, and h+, allowing for comprehensive analysis of the degradation mechanisms and pathways of AC. Overall, this investigation advances the development of efficient Z-scheme heterostructural materials and provides valuable insights into formulating sustainable remediation strategies for combatting AC contamination.
