Red phosphorus (RP) is a promising anode material for use in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical specific capacity (2596 mA h g–1). However, the practical use of RP-based anodes has been challenged by the material’s low intrinsic electrical conductivity and poor structural stability during lithiation. Here, we describe a phosphorus-doped porous carbon (P-PC) and disclose how the dopant improves the Li storage performance of RP that was incorporated into the P-PC (designated as RP@P-PC). P-doping porous carbon was achieved using an in situ method wherein the heteroatom was added as the porous carbon was being formed. The phosphorus dopant effectively improves the interfacial properties of the carbon matrix as subsequent RP infusion results in high loadings, small particle sizes, and uniform distribution. In half-cells, an RP@P-PC composite was found to exhibit outstanding performance in terms of the ability to store and utilize Li. The device delivered a high specific capacitance and rate capability (1848 and 1111 mA h g–1 at 0.1 and 10.0 A g–1, respectively) as well as excellent cycling stability (1022 mA h g–1 after 800 cycles at 2.0 A g–1). Exceptional performance metrics were also measured when the RP@P-PC was used as an anode material in full cells that contained lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. The methodology described can be extended to the preparation of other P-doped carbon materials that are employed in contemporary energy storage applications.

Ferric sulfide is an appealing activator in persulfate (PS) activation process for degrading pollutants from aqueous environment, but the drawback of easy-agglomeration lead to a low utilization efficiency. In this study, we modified nFeS with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to improve its stability, and the performance for PS activation and p -nitrophenol (PNP) degradation is tested. After modification, the size further decreased from 23.8 to 18.4 nm, but with higher stability and catalytic reactivity. The CMC and nFeS is bonded by bidentate bridging of Fe-O bond. The degradation performance increased ∼7 times. The PS activation with CMC-nFeS activator shows higher reaction rate constant (0.093 min -1 ) with ∼90% of PNP removed compared to the pure nFeS with ∼80% of PNP removal at a low rate (0.014 min -1 ) with the same condition of 0.6 g/L activator, 8 mM PS, room temperature and initial pH in 90 min. Acidic condition and high temperature were more favorable for releasing Fe(II) to activate PS and produce active radicals. SO 4 - ·and HO·radicals played critical roles to attack on PNP. Detailed XPS analysis of the activator before and after reaction described the removal pathway as heterogeneous and homogeneous systems. Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulation results confirmed that CMC addition effectively decreased the interaction energy and improved adsorption ability of PS onto the activator surface.

N/S/P-codoped carbon dots (CDs) are shown to be a viable fluorescent probe in a turn-off-on fluorometric assay for hydroquinone (HQ). The preparation of CDs was carried out using a one-step hydrothermal reaction starting with glyoxal and isocarbophos. The method is based on the formation of ground state complexes between CD and Fe(III) which leads to quenching of blue fluorescence (with excitation/emission peaks at 363/448 nm). On addition of HQ, it will be oxidized by Fe(III) upon which fluorescence recovers. This turn-off-on system can be utilized to quantify HQ. A linear relationship exists between fluorescence recovery and HQ concentration in range between 0.56 and 375 μM. The limit of detection is 0.16 μM. The assay was successfully applied to the determination of HQ in spiked water samples and developer samples.

P-doped hierarchical porous carbon aerogels are prepared by carbonizing the phloroglucin-formaldehyde resins in the presence of ZnCl 2 and subsequently being activated by KOH. Phosphoric acid is simultaneously used as the polymerization catalyst and P-doped agent in the preparation procedure. Compared with un-doped sample, P-doped carbon with hierarchical porous structure shows improved electrochemical performance. The prepared sample that activated at 800 °C exhibits good capacitance of 406.2 F g −1 in 6 M KOH at a scan rate of 5 mV s −1 . When the scan rate is 500 mV s −1 , the specific capacitance still reaches to 267.4 F g −1 , demonstrating good rate capability. When 60 mg of active materials is loaded, the mass specific capacitance of the prepared electrode reaches to 348.8 F g −1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s −1 , and the maximum area capacitance is 11.35 F cm −2 . The energy density of the prepared sample is as high as 16.97 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 200 W kg −1 and reaches to 8.52 Wh kg −1 at 2000 W kg −1 . Importantly, after 100,000 charging and discharging cycles, the specific capacitance of the prepared sample is no attenuated, indicating a long-term electrochemical stability.

This study accounts the controllable design over the structure and morphology of Ni-P nanomaterials directly growing on cellulose paper, and its excellent non-enzymatic electrocatalytic performance to urea. The Ni-P papers were prepared by simple solution soaking and electroless bathing. And the simple experimental steps and mild experimental conditions make it possible for large-scale industrial production, and potential for practical applications. In addition, tuning the pH and concentration of the electroless bath, the Ni-P nanomaterials with different morphologies of nanoflower , nanosheet , nanowire microsphere and microsphere were obtained. The Ni-P nanomaterials impart conductivity to cellulose paper while being potently sensitive to urea owing to its high catalytic activity. Cellulose paper has a large specific area and open macroporous framework which hadn't been damaged during the process of electroless bathing, providing much more activated sites for Ni-P deposition. And the prepared Ni-P papers, as composite materials of cellulose papers loading Ni-P nanomaterials, have high electrocatalytic properties to urea. Comparing the electrochemical behaviors of the four Ni-P paper electrodes with different morphologies, the Ni-P nanoflower paper electrode showed the best electrochemical performance with highest sensitivity of 683.46 μA mM −1 cm −2 in the low concentration range (0–1 mM) and 1140 μA mM −1 cm −2 in the high concentration range (1–11 mM), lowest detection limit of 12 μM, shortest response time of 3 s, which may owes to the highest surface area of the Ni-P nanoflower structure. It also has a good stability in room environment remaining 97% after 35 days of storage. Moreover, the electrocatalytic activities of the four Ni-P paper electrodes are ranked as follows: nanoflower > nanosheet > nanowire microsphere > microsphere. What's more, the long-term stability and repeatability, good selectivity of the flexible Ni-P paper make it successfully applied to swimming pool water quality monitoring.

The third-generation semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) is identified as one of the vitally important candidate materials to serve as a functional unit that performs stably and reliably under harsh working conditions, with respect to its excellent piezoresistive effects and robust physical/chemical characteristics. In the current work, we put forward the fabrication of SiC nanowires with co-doped N and P elements, which were fabricated via the pyrolysis of a polymeric material. The as-grown nanowires have a typical diameter of ∼260 nm with a 10 surface. The measured transverse piezoresistance coefficient π[10] of the established SiC nanowires increased from 5.07 to −146.30 × 10−11 Pa−1 as the loading forces varied from 24.95 to 130.51 nN. Meanwhile, the corresponding gauge factor (GF) was calculated up to ca. −877.79, which is higher than the values for all SiC nanostructures ever reported. The mechanism concerning the giant negative piezoresistance behavior of SiC nanowire is proposed. The current exploration may pave a new avenue for the development of highly sensitive and robust pressure sensors that could survive under harsh working conditions.

Dielectric polymer nanocomposites have been attracting increasing attention because of their wide range of applications in electronics industry. To improve their dielectric properties , incorporating conductive fillers and ceramic fillers into the polymer matrix is considered to be an effective solution. Here, Ni nanoparticles (about 50–90 nm) were decorated onto the surface of polydopamine (PDA) coated BaTiO 3 nanowires to synthesize Ni@polydopamine@BaTiO 3 nanowires (Ni@PDA@BT NWs, also denoted as NPB) with different Ni loading amount. The nanowires were then added into poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-HFP)) matrix and composite films were prepared. The dielectric performance of composite films is largely enhanced owing to the microcapacitor effect and interfacial polarization effect induced by Ni nanoparticles. This enhancement can be improved by increasing the loading amount of Ni. Crystallization behavior of the films were also investigated. With 20 vol% of Ni@PDA@BT NWs added, the dielectric constant of the composite film reaches 48.4 at 1 kHz, in contrast to 29.5 for 20 vol% of BT and 10.6 for pristine P(VDF-HFP). And the dielectric loss tangent remains at a low level of 0.23 at 1 kHz. These composite films exhibit potential for applications in flexible electronic devices and electrical systems.

The kinetics of the esterification between benzoic acid and isoamyl alcohol has been studied using p -toluenesulphonic acid as a catalyst. The conversion of the benzoic acid was determined by following the concentration of water measured with a Karl Fischer titrator. The effects of the reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, and initial acid to alcohol molar ratio on reaction kinetics have been examined. A five-step assumption was proposed to describe the reaction mechanism for the formation of isoamyl benzoate. And the kinetic model derived from the proposed mechanism can fit well with experimental kinetic data of the esterification, which indicates that the proposed mechanism is reasonable. The nonideality of the liquid reaction mixture has been considered and the activity coefficients of all components were estimated by the UNIFAC model. The reaction rate constants from 353.15 K to 383.15 K have been determined through the least square method. Meanwhile the activation energy and the standard enthalpy change of reaction in the presence of p -toluenesulphonic acid were calculated to be 50.45 kJ/mol and −3.75 kJ/mol respectively.

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting performance of hematite-based photoanodes is still far from their theoretical value due to the ultrafast charge recombination in bulk and on the surface. In response, we developed a regrowth strategy to fabricate a photoanode with metallic Mg-doped α-Fe2O3 coating on nonmetallic P-doped α-Fe2O3 nanorods (Mg-Fe2O3/P-Fe2O3 NRs). This homojunction structure fulfils the requirements of both high charge separation efficiency and favorable band alignment, showing a high photocurrent density (4.7-fold higher than pristine Fe2O3) and low onset potential of 0.68 VRHE. Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) results reveal that the origin of such superior PEC performance is P-doping and Mg-Fe2O3 coating, which efficiently eliminate lattice mismatching, improve the conductivity of hematite, and simultaneously promote the photogenic carriers separation by the built-in electric field. This promising design may open an avenue to fabricating various efficient homojunction photoanodes for practical PEC water splitting.

High-performance floating film-based solar steam generation has received extensive attention for clean fresh water generation. Herein, we report high-strength nanoporous gold nanoparticle (AuNP)/poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) nanofibre (PBONF) composite films that are capable of enhanced solar steam generation. The PBONFs were employed as building blocks to fabricate nanoporous PBONF multilayer composite films using a layer-by-layer assembly technique. These PBONF multilayer composite films then served as supports for depositing AuNPs. The resulting AuNP/PBONF composite films exhibit a high strength of 122 MPa and Young's modulus of 3.7 GPa, a broad spectrum photothermal effect, a mesoscopic structure, and a low thermal conductivity of 0.230 W m−1 K−1. Under one sun exposure, the AuNP/PBONF composite films exhibit an evaporation rate of 1.424 kg m−2 h−1 and a solar-vapor conversion efficiency of 83%. The AuNP/PBONF composite films are stable; therefore, they can be readily reused. These high-performance AuNP/PBONF composite films have potential for clean water generation under some extreme conditions such as space environments.

Exploring highly efficient and stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts such as transition-metal phosphides (TMPs) is critical to advancing renewable hydrogen fuel. TMP nanostructures typically involving binary or ternary TMPs tuned by cation or anion doping are suggested to be promising low-cost and durable OER catalysts. Herein, the preparation of CoP/CoP 2 composite nanoparticles encapsulated within N,P-doped carbon nanotubes (CoP/CoP 2 @NPCNTs) is demonstrated as a synergistic electrocatalyst for OER via the calcination of a CoAl-layered double hydroxide/melamine mixture and subsequent phosphorization. Facile visualization by scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with electron backscatter diffraction demonstrates the encapsulation of the CoP/CoP 2 nanoparticles within the N,P-codoped CNTs. Electrocatalytic evaluation shows that the composite electrode requires a low overpotential of 300 mV for the OER at 10 mA cm −2 in a 1.0 m KOH solution and, in particular, exhibits an excellent long-term durability of ≈100 h, which is superior to that of the state-of-the-art RuO 2 electrocatalyst. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the synergistic effect of CoP and CoP 2 can enhance the electrocatalytic performance. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the generated O 2 molecules can readily diffuse out of the CNTs. Both the effects give rise to the observed OER enhancement.

Degradation of p -chloroaniline (PCA) was investigated using an electrochemical reactor with Ti/SnO 2 -Sb anode and cathodic electrochemical porous ceramic microfiltration (MF) membrane under galvanostatic control. Results showed that electrochemical degradation of PCA followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. At applied current 0.8 A and membrane flux 80 L m −2 h −1 , complete degradation of PCA (initial concentration of 0.6 mM) was achieved after 90-min electrolysis following adding 0.2 mM Fe 2+ at pH 3, with 75.1% of mineralization ratio and 46.7% of total nitrogen abatement. The production of OH via either anodic water oxidation or homogeneous and surface Fenton reaction was responsible for PCA degradation. The degradation pathways of PCA involving protonation, OH oxidation, and cathodic reduction were proposed by quantifying generated organic byproducts and inorganic nitrogen ions. Compared to cross-by operation, the cross-through operated EF system exhibited an enhanced oxidation power, leading to more efficient destruction of PCA and its toxic intermediate byproducts and improving electrical energy efficiency. This was ascribed to the increased ROS production and better contact of the contaminants with ROS present in the vicinity of membrane (cathode) surface induced by the enhanced mass transfer under membrane filtration. These results highlight the potential of the cross-through operated EF system to be used for the treatment of PCA-contaminated water and wastewater.
