α-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets were prepared at room temperature on ultra large scale through a solvent-free reaction. The nanosheets were obtained by grinding the mixture of nickel nitrate hexahydrate and morpholine in a mortar for 5 min. The maximum capacity of production in single batch was only limited by volume of the vessels used in preparation. The as-prepared nanosheets exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 2080.8 F g −1 at discharge current density of 0.6 A g −1 in a 6 mol l −1 KOH aqueous solution. The nanosheets also presented other high electrochemical performances such as nearly 100% coulombic efficiency, excellent rate capacity and high stability. These results indicated that the α-Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets can be used as a high performance electrochemical material for application in supercapacitor .

Abstract A novel Co(OH) 2 /glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been fabricated via metal–organic framework (MOF)-directed method. In the strategy, the Co(BTC, 1,3,5-benzentricarboxylic acid) MOFs/GCE was firstly prepared by alternately immersing GCE in Co 2+ and BTC solution based on a layer-by-layer method. And then, the Co(OH) 2 with hierarchical flake nanostructure/GCE was constructed by immersing Co(BTC) MOFs/GCE into 0.1 M NaOH solution at room temperature. Such strategy improves the distribution of hierarchical Co(OH) 2 nanostructures on electrode surface greatly, enhances the stability of nanomaterials on the electrode surface, and increases the use efficiency of the Co(OH) 2 nanostructures. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectra were used to characterize the Co(BTC) MOFs/GCE and Co(OH) 2 /GCE. Based on the hierarchical Co(OH) 2 nanostructures/GCE, a novel and sensitive nonenzymatic glucose sensor was developed. The good performance of the resulted sensor toward the detection of glucose was ascribed to hierarchical flake nanostructures, good mechanical stability, excellent distribution, and large specific surface area of Co(OH) 2 nanostructures. The proposed preparation method is simple, efficient, and cheap . Graphical Abstract

The present report describes the synthesis of a hydroxyl terminal PAMAM dendrimer (PAMAM-OH) derivative (PAMSPF). The hydroxyls of PAMAM-OH were attached to S-Methyl- l -cysteine (SMLC) via an acid-labile ester bond, named as β-thiopropionate bond, followed by modification with folic acid (FA) through a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker. The degrees of attachment of SMLC and FA to the PAMAM-OH backbone were 83.9% and 12.8%, respectively. PAMSPF could condense DNA to form spherical nanoparticles with particle sizes of ∼200 nm and remain stable in the presence of heparin and nuclease . The β-thiopropionate bond in PAMSPF was hydrolyzed completely and the DNA release rate was 95.8 ± 3.3% after incubation under mildly acidic conditions at 37 °C for 3 h. PAMSPF/DNA was less cytotoxic to KB and HepG2 cells and exhibited a higher gene transfection efficiency than native PAMAM/DNA. The uptake assays showed that PAMSPF/DNA entered KB cells within 0.5 h through folate receptor-mediated endocytosis and escaped from endosomes within 2 h. In addition, PAMSPF/DNA displayed long circulation time along with excellent targeting of tumor sites in vivo. These findings demonstrate that PAMSPF is an excellent carrier for safe and effective gene delivery.

The first lead tellurate–nitrate nonlinear-optical (NLO) crystal, Pb9Te2O13(OH)(NO3)3, featuring a 3D anionic diamondlike toplogical structural motif formulated as [Pb9O13]8– constructed by unique nonanuclear basket-shaped Pb@Pb8O14 clusters has been hydrothermally achieved, in which the Pb@Pb8O14 cluster shows a core–shell structure with one PbO10 polyhedron enclosed by eight PbOx (x = 3 and 4) polyhedera via edge and face sharing. The hexavalent Te in TeO5(OH) octahedra is linked to a [Pb9O13]8– cluster to form a rare [Pb9Te2O13(OH)]3+ cationic framework. The compound demonstrates a powder second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response of about 1.2 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP) as well as a wide transparency range. Calculations on the local dipole moment and SHG coefficient reveal that the net polarization is zero because of a Kleinman-forbidden point group. Further analysis shows that the SHG response results from structure-induced variations by thermal vibrations of the lattice rather than the intrinsic dipole moment, which offers another insight on the design of new NLO materials.

In this study, Cu(OH)F nanoparticles are prepared through a simple hydrothermal reaction and their effects on the thermal oxidation and ignition characteristics of micron-sized Al powder (μ-Al) are explored for the first time. Thermal analysis in air atmosphere (50∼1050 °C) shows that compared to raw μ-Al, the normalized weight gain of Al in Al-Cu(OH)F increases by about 36.9%, 64.8%, and 106.3% when the added Cu(OH)F is 1 wt%, 3 wt%, and 5 wt%, respectively. After mixed with NH 4 ClO 4 , electric ignition and open-air combustion tests show shortened ignition delay time (by 42.6%∼63.8%) and increased maximum light intensity (by 48.9%∼117.8%) for Al-Cu(OH)F. The effects of Cu(OH)F result from its decomposition products, namely, HF and CuO. HF reacts with alumina shell to form AlF 3 , which sublimes at high temperature and thus exposes Al core instantly, while CuO can react with Al core to release heat, further facilitating the thermal oxidation and ignition processes.

Photocatalytic technology has been recently conducted to remove microbial contamination due to its unique features of nontoxic by-products, low cost, negligible microbial resistance and broad-spectrum elimination capacity. Herein, a novel two dimensional (2D) g-C3N4/Bi(OH)3(CNB) heterojunction was fabricated byincorporating Bi(OH)3(BOH) nanoparticles with g-C3N4(CN) nanosheets. This CNB heterojunction exhibited high photocatalytic antibacterial efficiency (99.3%) againstEscherichia coli(E. coli) under visible light irradiation, which was 4.3 and 3.4 times that of BOH (23.0%) and CN (28.0%), respectively. The increase in specific surface area, ultra-thin layered structure, construction of a heterojunction and enhancement of visible light absorption were conducive to facilitating the separation and transfer of photoinduced charge carriers. Live/dead cell staining, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) assays and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been implemented to investigate the damage to the cell membrane and the leakage of the intracellular protein in the photocatalytic antibacterial process. The e−, h+and O2•−were the active species involved in this process. This study proposed an appropriate photocatalyst for efficient treatment of bacterial contamination.

The application of MgO/Mg(OH) 2 in heat storage technology has been limited due to slow hydration rate and easy agglomeration. In this paper, nanoporous carbon particle (NCP) as a carrier was used to prepare NCP/MgO chemical heat storage composite materials by impregnation and calcination methods, respectively. The microstructure characterization, hydration reaction, and simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis experiments were carried out on the prepared composite materials. The results showed that the internal distribution of MgO in the composite material prepared by calcination method was more uniform, and the particle size of MgO was smaller. Under the conditions of 110 ℃ hydration temperature and 57.8 kPa water vapor partial pressure, the hydration conversion ratio of the composite material prepared by calcination method after 120 min of hydration conversion ratio reached 93 %, which was 17.7 % higher than that of the impregnated composite material and 50 % higher than that of pure MgO. Under the comprehensive influence of specific surface area, pore structure, and active component particle size, compared with pure materials and impregnated composite materials, the dehydration rate of the composite material prepared by calcination method at 300 ℃ was twice that of impregnated method and 6 times that of pure MgO, and the heat storage density reached 1039kJ/kg. After 10 cycles, the heat storage density still maintained an initial state of 95.8 %. Compared with pure materials and impregnated composite materials, NCP/MgO composite materials prepared by calcination method had better heat storage performance and higher cyclic stability.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely recognized as precursors or sacrificial templates for the synthesis of target catalysts on account of their high porosity and high active surface area . Elemental doping strategy is considered as an effective method for the synthesis of efficient and stable catalysts for electrolytic water. Therefore, in this paper, Ce-doped Ni(OH) 2 nanoparticles and Ni-MOF nanosheets composites were synthesized by electrodeposition using Ni-MOF as precursor. Catalyst Ce–Ni(OH) 2 @Ni-MOF/NF displays excellent OER performance, requiring only 193 mV and 279 mV overpotentials to realize current densities of 10 mA cm −2 and 100 mA cm −2 , respectively, while the UOR performance was very remarkable, only a potential of 1.28 V was demanded to reach a current density of 10 mA cm −2 . In addition, no obvious change in the overpotential was noticed during the stability test of 16 h, indicating good stability of Ce–Ni(OH) 2 @Ni-MOF/NF. This study provides a meaningful reference for the design of an efficient and stable environmental friendly electrocatalyst .

Image-guided phototherapy is considered to be a prospective technique for cancer treatment because it can provide both oncotherapy and bioimaging, thus achieving an optimized therapeutic efficacy and higher treatment accuracy. Compared to complicated systems with multiple components, using a single material for this multifunctional purpose is preferable. In this work, we strategically fabricated poly(acrylic acid)- (PAA-) coated Cu2(OH)PO4 quantum dots [denoted as Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA QDs], which exhibit a strong near-infrared photoabsorption ability. As a result, an excellent photothermal conversion ability and the photoactivated formation of reactive oxygen species could be realized upon NIR irradiation, concurrently meeting the basic requirements for photothermal and photodynamic therapies. Moreover, phototherapeutic investigations on both cervical cancer cells in vitro and solid tumors of an in vivo mice model illustrated the effective antitumor effects of Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA upon 1064-nm laser irradiation, with no detectable lesions in major organs during treatment. Meanwhile, Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA is also an exogenous contrast for photoacoustic tomography (PAT) imaging to depict tumors under NIR irradiation. In brief, the Cu2(OH)PO4@PAA QDs prepared in this work are expected to serve as a multifunctional theranostic platform.

UiO-66 and its functionalized derivatives (UiO-66-X, X = -OH, -NO 2 , -NH 2 ) were successfully synthesized via a solvothermal method, and their structural integrity and functionalization were confirmed. Hydrogen adsorption experiments and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations demonstrated that UiO-66-OH exhibited the highest hydrogen adsorption capacity. At 300 K and 1 bar, its experimental adsorption capacity reached 0.0301 wt%, representing increases of 29.18 %, 3.44 %, and 19.92 % compared to UiO-66, UiO-66-NH 2 , and UiO-66-NO 2 , respectively. At 77 K and 20 bar, its simulated adsorption capacity reached 2.352 wt%, surpassing UiO-66-NH 2 (2.229 wt%) and UiO-66-NO 2 (1.927 wt%). This superior performance is attributed to optimized pore structure and enhanced functional group interactions, providing new insights for optimizing hydrogen storage in UiO-66 materials.

Searching for highly efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is principal to the development electrolytic water production industry. Experimental screening of highly active electrocatalysts is time-consuming and complicated. In this work, an Artificial Neural Network model is proposed to accelerate the screening for Ag(M) catalysts (M = Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, In, Sn, Sb, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au and Hg), which is used to predict the Gibbs free energy of hydrogen. The Ag(Ni) catalyst is identified as a potential electrocatalyst with the nearly ideal (ΔG H ), which affords the relatively low overpotentials of 159 mV for HER at 10 mA cm −2 . According to the prediction of our ANN model, we synthesized Ag(Mn), Ag(Co), and Ag(Cu) catalysts. The Ag(Ni) catalyst exhibits the best HER activity, which is 120 mV smaller than Ag(Mn), Ag(Co), and Ag(Cu) catalysts. The incorporation of Ni effectively optimizes the electronic environment of the materials, which drives the upshift of d-band center and drastically reduces the Gibbs free energy of hydrogen (ΔG H ). Our method is significantly more efficient, running 1184 times faster than the traditional DFT method. Our work paves an efficient way to design and develop potential HER catalysts.

In the face of energy scarcity and environmental degradation, photocatalysis emerges as a green and highly efficient method to convert solar energy into a renewable energy source . In this study, CdS nanoparticles were successfully grown in situ along the edges of ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets using ultrasound during the synthesis process and the second phase precipitation of In(OH) 3 appeared in the process of preparation. Optimal Cd and S ratios resulted in ZnIn 2 S 4 @In(OH) 3 @CdS heterojunction exhibiting remarkable photocatalytic H 2 production performance compared to standalone ZnIn 2 S 4 and CdS. The internal heterojunction interface within the composite naturally generates an electric field, enhancing carrier separation and facilitating their transport. Additionally, the inclusion of In(OH) 3 further expedites carrier extraction. Ultimately, the mechanism behind the photocatalytic H 2 production was elucidated using the Z-scheme mechanism. This work introduced a novel approach to fabricating multifunctional photocatalysts , presenting a fresh perspective in their design and preparation.
