Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) show great promise due to their combination of high energy-storage properties and low cost of Na resources. Yet most anodes in SIHCs suffer from sluggish Na + -diffusion kinetics and relatively low specific capacity, which restrict their widespread development. Herein, bowl-like VS 2 nanosheet arrays are uniformly and robustly anchored on a carbon nanofiber (CNF) substrate through a one-step solvothermal method. The bowl-like VS 2 is featured with an ultrathin thickness (several atomic layers), intrinsically metallic conductivity and an interconnected array architecture. This unique structural design can not only facilitate ultrafast Na + ion-diffusion, but also suppress capacity decay of VS 2 that is caused by the conversion process below 0.3 V. DFT calculations demonstrate a faster Na + transport rate and a lower diffusion energy barrier for the VS 2 /C interface than for the VS 2 /VS 2 bilayer. The quasi-solid-state SIHC full cell that integrates the CNF@VS 2 anode and the graphene sheets-wrapped carbon nanofiber (CNF@GS) cathode, displays prominent energy//power densities in the voltage range of 0.0–4.0 V (116 Wh kg −1 at 0.4 kW kg −1 ; 66 Wh kg −1 at 40 kW kg −1 based on the total mass of both electrodes), outperforming recent SIHCs.

The LiNi 0.8 0 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2-δ (LNCA) electrode exhibits better catalytic activity in low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). However, LNCA still faces some challenges in commercialization due to poor stability, scarcity of lithium resources, and high costs. Here, Na-doped LNCA electrode not only enriches oxygen vacancies and prolongs long-term stability, but also maintains a layered structure and reduces costs. At 550 °C, under the optimal ratio of L 0.85 Na 0.15 NCA electrode, the maximum power density (MPD) of a single cell reaches 1147 mW cm −2 with an open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.13 V and a polarization impedance (R p ) of 0.21 Ω cm 2 , which is 30.6% higher than the single cell power (878 mW cm −2 ) of the Na-undoped LNCA electrode. The cell maintained long-term stability for 108 h at a constant current density of 156.25 mA cm −2 and a voltage of about 0.9 V. The results indicate that Na-doped LNCA is an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of LNCA and long-term stability of cell.

The technology of solid-state lighting has developed for decades in various industries. Phosphor, as an element part, determines the application domain of lighting products. For instance, blue and red-emitting phosphors are required in the process of plant supplementing light, arrow-band emitting phosphors are applied to backlight displays, etc. In this work, a Bi 3+ -activated blue phosphor was obtained in a symmetrical and compact crystal structure of Gd3SbO7 (GSO). Then, the co-doping strategy of alkali metal ions (Li + , Na + , and K + ) was used to optimize the performance. The result shows that the photoluminescence intensity is increased by 2.1 times and 1.3 times respectively by introducing Li + and K + ions. Not only that, it also achieves narrow-band emitting with the full width of half-maximum (FWHM) reaching 42 nm through Na + doping, and its excitation peak position also shifts from 322 to 375 nm, which can be well excited by near-ultraviolet (NUV) light emitting diode (LED) chips (365 nm). Meanwhile, the electroluminescence spectrum of GSO:0.6 mol%Bi 3+ ,3 wt%Na + matches up to 93.39% of the blue part of the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a . In summary, the Bi 3+ -activated blue phosphor reported in this work can synchronously meet the requirements of plant light replenishment and field emission displays .

Composite cathodes have attracted great attention due to the integrated advantages of each pure structure. Also, the component ratio deserves a careful modulation to further improve the corresponding electrochemical performance. Mn-based layer–tunnel hybrid composite became a focus in sodium-ion batteries due to the superiority in terms of high performance, low cost, and nontoxicity. In the previous reports, the structure modulation was carried out via changing the synthesis condition, varying the transition-metal-element ratio, and different ion doping. Also, it is still challenging to explore a more feasible method to simplify the adjustment process. Herein, we introduced Mg2+ into Na sites or transition-metal sites in Na0.6MnO2 and first discovered the doping-site-variation-induced structural adjustment phenomenon. Specifically, Mg doping in transition-metal sites could be beneficial for the growth of the P2-type structure, while layer/tunnel component ratio decreased when locating Mg2+ in Na sites. The P2–O2 phase transformations could be effectively suppressed by locating Mg2+ in both sites in high-voltage regions and thus improve the cycling performance. The designed material, Na0.6Mn0.99Mg0.01O2, could attain a decent capacity of 100 mA h g–1 at 1000 mA g–1 and a satisfied retention of 76.6% after 500 cycles. Additionally, ex situ X-ray diffraction analysis experiments verify the excellent structural stability of Mg-substituted samples during charge–discharge processes. Moreover, the Na0.6Mn0.99Mg0.01O2 also displays superior sodium-ion full-cell properties when merged with hard carbon anode. Thus, this research may indicate a proper novel thread for designing high-performance composite electrodes.

The continuous exploration of multinary chalcogenide semiconductors has provided a variety of new functional materials. In this paper, four new quaternary chalcogenides AHgPS4 (A+ = Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) have been prepared by solid-state syntheses. These findings complement the lack of research on this quaternary system. Influenced by the size effect of cations and the coordination mode of Hg, the four compounds crystallize in four different space groups [NaHgPS4, P4̅n2; KHgPS4, Pnn2; RbHgPS4, P21/n; CsHgPS4, P212121] and show an interesting evolution from a 3D framework structure to a 1D chain structure. Moreover, all of these compounds feature noncentrosymmetric (NCS) structures except for RbHgPS4. The materials exhibit wide band gaps of 2.7 eV < Eg < 3.0 eV. The NCS- related second-harmonic-generation (SHG) property of NaHgPS4 and KHgPS4 was also studied. They display strong powder SHG responses (3.14 × AgGaS2 for NaHgPS4; 4.15 × AgGaS2 for KHgPS4), which indicate their intriguing potential as IR nonlinear-optical materials. Moreover, first-principles theoretical calculations were performed to understand the structure–property relationships of these materials.

Strontium, the main component of radioactive nuclear wastewater, is characterized by a high fission yield and an extended half-life. It is easily absorbed by the human body, thus greatly threatening the environment and the human body. In this study, a mesoporous composite phase sodium superionic conductor (NVP@NMP) was synthesized by the droplet template method, and the rapid capture of Sr2+from wastewater was achieved by constructing a nano-heterogeneous interface to increase the ion diffusion rate. NVP@NMP showed efficient and rapid removal of strontium ions in adsorption kinetics, isothermal adsorption, solution pH, and interfering ions concentration tests, especially using the equilibrium time of 2 min for strontium absorption by NVP@NMP and a maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of 361.36 mg/g. The adsorption process was spontaneous, endothermic, and feasible. At higher concentrations of other competing ions (Na, K, Ca, Mg, and Cs), the adsorbent exhibited higher selectivity towards Sr2+.TEM, XPS, and XRD analyses revealed that ion exchange was the main mechanism for the NVP@NMP ultrafast adsorption of Sr2+. In this research, we investigated the feasibility of ultrafast strontium capture by sodium superionic conductor structured phosphates and explained the ultrafast strontium adsorption mechanism of NASICON materials through XPS.Keywords:NASICON;ultrafast adsorption;strontium;ion exchange;wastewater

The development of efficient sodium-ion batteries is essential to overcome the issue of limited lithium sources for preparing lithium-ion batteries. Layered Mn-based cathode materials have significant application potential because of their simple structure and high specific capacities. Serious voltage attenuation and phase transition are the prominent problems of layered manganese-sodium ion batteries. To eliminate these issues, in this study, we investigated the effects of different Mn/Ni ratios in Na-Ni-Mn cathode materials on their structural stability and electrochemical performances. Na 0. 8MnO 2 (NNM-8010), Na 0.8 Ni 0.1 Mn 0.9 O 2 (NNM-819), Na 0.8 Ni 0.2 Mn 0.8 O 2 (NNM-828), and Na 0.8 Ni 0.3 Mn 0.7 O 2 (NNM-837) were synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical analyses. The addition of Ni 2+ increased the Mn oxidation state from + 3 to + 4, thus reducing the Jahn–Teller effect of Mn 3+ and stabilizing the material structure. NNM-819 exhibited the best electrochemical performance. Its initial discharge-specific capacity was 198.5mAh g −1 at a current density of 0.2C, and the capacity retention rate after 100 cycles was 86.9% at 0.5C. Moreover, its capacity retention rate at 1.0C high-rate cycling after 100 cycles remained high 81.9%. Graphical Abstract

Graphical Better anode by design : A designed anode structure combining the metallic conductivity of 1T-MoS 2 with interconnected TiO 2 /MoO 3 grains is beneficial for fast charge-transfer reactions and reduced transmission losses. Moreover, a flexible carbon framework buffers swollen lithium compounds, such as Li x MoO 3 and Li x MoS 2 , and supports the shrinking delithiated products, with potential for achieving high capacity stability in both Li- and Na-ion batteries. Integrating layered nanostructured MoS 2 with a structurally stable TiO 2 backbone to construct reciprocal MoS 2 /TiO 2 -based nanocomposites is an effective strategy. C@TiO 2 /MoO 3 composite nanofibers doped with 1T-phase MoS 2 nanograins were fabricated by partially sulfurizing MoO x /TiO 2 precursors. By controlling a suitable preoxidation temperature before severe thermolysis of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), the MoO x /TiO 2 precursors formed a polymer-embedded array through coordination of the Mo source and pyrrolidyl groups of PVP. Sulfidation under water/solvent hydrothermal conditions led to partial formation of metallic 1T-phase MoS 2 from the MoO x precursor with preoxidation at 200 °C. After carbonization, the TiO 2 /MoO 3 /MoS 2 nanograins were encapsulated in a carbon backbone in a vertical pattern, providing both chemical contact for confined electron transport and sufficient space to adapt to volume changes. The obtained carbon-based platform not only has the advantages of an integral structure, but also exhibited ultrastable specific capacities of 540 and 251 mAh g −1 for Li-ion batteries and Na-ion batteries, respectively, after 100 cycles.

A one-dimensional energetic complex (Na[CL-14·2H2O]) constructed from sodium and 5,7-diamino-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan (CL-14) was synthesized, and its crystal structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to a monoclinic system with space group P21/c. The complex possesses a one-dimensional coordination framework based on the [ONaN]n chain, which might result in its low sensitivity and high heat resistant. The thermal decomposition mechanism of Na[CL-14·2H2O] was predicted by means of TG-DSC, TG-MS and FTIR analyses. The thermal decomposition of Na[CL-14·2H2O] contains one endothermic and one exothermic processes in the temperature range of 25–500 °C with NaNCO, Na2CO3, H2O, NO and CO2 as the final products. The non-isothermal kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the first exothermic process of the Na[CL-14·2H2O] have been studied, with the apparent activation energy, pre-exponential factor, entropy of activation, enthalpy of activation and free energy of activation of 280.7 kJ mol−1, 57.8, 282.7 J mol−1 K−1, 276.2 kJ mol−1 and 154.8 kJ mol−1, respectively. The impact sensitivity and friction sensitivity of Na[CL-14·2H2O] was tested according to general methods, with the values of 27 J and 360 N, respectively. Na[CL-14·2H2O] has been investigated as an energetic catalyst in ammonium nitrate (AN) by means of TG-DTG, TG-MS, DSC and extent of conversion (α)–T kinetic curve analyses. And the thermal kinetic constants for the catalytic and noncatalytic decomposition of AN samples were calculated using Kissinger's and Ozawa–Doyle's equations. The possible catalytic mechanism was also discussed and proposed. The results show that Na[CL-14·2H2O] decreases the peak temperature and activation energy value of the complete decomposition process for AN by 41.3 °C and 10.9 kJ mol−1, respectively. Furthermore, the thermal decomposition of AN in the presence of Na[CL-14·2H2O] starts at significantly lower temperature (about 30 °C) than that of pure AN. Apparently, Na[CL-14·2H2O] could be incorporated as a potential energetic catalyst in AN-based propellants.

Fenton catalytic oxidation is a prevalent advanced oxidation technology that can be integrated with photocatalysis and thermal catalysis to enhance the degradation of antibiotic wastewater. Zeolites, a distinctive class of crystalline material, are extensively employed in Fenton-like catalytic oxidation due to their robust structure and exceptional catalytic efficacy. In this study, we constructed a novel Cu/Ce-X catalyst via an ion exchange process based on a Na-X zeolite matrix. The crystal phases, framework structures, elemental compositions, specific surface areas, and photothermal catalytic activity of the composite catalyst were characterized systematically. The removal of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) was 87.69 % in the photothermal Fenton-like degradation, and the apparent first-order kinetics rate constant was 13.6 times, 6.52 times, and 1.72 times greater than those of the Fenton-like, photo Fenton-like, and thermal Fenton-like systems, respectively. The adaptability, reusability, reaction mechanisms, and degradation pathways of the fabricated catalysts for the removal of TCH were investigated. The experimental and characterization results demonstrate that the redox cycling of Cu + /Cu 2+ and Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ was enhanced through photogenerated electrons and thermal effects in the catalytic degradation process. The primary active species generated in the photothermal Fenton-like system is ·OH. The findings of this research provide a viable strategy for the treatment and remediation of water pollution.

In this study, papermaking black liquor lignin (ULG) was directly used to produce biochar through pyrolysis. It was found that ULG has a high ash content (15.38 %), primarily consisting of Na-related minerals. During pyrolysis, the ash can reduce the activation energy of ULG (by over 6 kJ/mol), promote the development of pore structures, and enhance the graphitization of the resulting biochar through self-catalyzation. Additionally, the Na-related minerals form abundant nanowhiskers on the surface of biochar during pyrolysis, mainly composed of Na 2 CO 3 and Na 3 PO 3 , achieving self-functionalization, particularly in biochar produced at 700 °C (ULG-700). In the adsorption process, these nanowhiskers on the surface of ULG-700 act as efficient active adsorption sites. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity for Cd(II) and Zn(II) by ULG-700 at room temperature is 639.71 and 161.27 mg/g, respectively. This study suggests that ULG can be developed as a low-cost and high-efficient heavy metal adsorbent.

The pyrolysis of metal soaps to produce hydrocarbon rich fuel has been studied extensively. However, the combined effects of microwave radiation and metal ion types on hydrocarbon production have not been addressed. In this study, the microwave and conventional pyrolysis experiments were conducted on five metal soaps (Li soap, Na soap, K soap, Ca soap, Mg soap). The results demonstrated that the metal ions at the carboxyl end of the soap enhanced the polarity of the reactants, leading to a rapid increase in temperature under microwave conditions. With the ion radius increasing, the heating rate increased gradually. Compared with conventional pyrolysis, microwave pyrolysis exhibited a more rapid heating rate, a higher degree of carbon chain fracture, and a greater abundance of small olefin compounds, which promoted aromatization reaction and the release of CO, H 2 and CH 4 . In addition, the composition of the pyrolysis products derived from different metal soaps is affected by the characteristics of metal ions. As the radius of metal ions increased, the oxygen content in the liquid products decreased gradually, while the carbon content increased. The strengthening effect of microwave was further analyzed. With the increase in the radius of metal ions, the strengthening effect of microwaves on olefins formation was gradually weakened, while the inhibiting effect on alkanes formation was gradually enhanced. The structure of carboxylate network is affected by the radius of metal ions, which results in the regular change of the strengthening effect of microwave on olefins and other products. This study is highly significant in guiding the pyrolysis of soapstock waste to prepare olefins and alkanes with high efficiency and low energy consumption.
