For increasing the specific capacitance of supercapacitors, boron-doped g-C3N4 quantum dots (B-CNQDs) were synthesized by KOH cutting and further adsorbed on the surface of Ni(OH)2 nanoflowers (B-CNQDx-Ni) by a mild impregnation method via electrostatic force. The B-CNQDx-Ni nanocomposites exhibit an increased surface area and reduced band gap energy compared with pure Ni(OH)2, which result in a larger contact area between the electrode and the electrolyte and enhanced charge-transfer kinetics. The best B-CNQDx-Ni sample has an excellent specific capacitance of 1700 F/g at 1.5 A/g, low impedance at the alkaline conduction of 7.421 Ω, and a high stability cycling performance of 82% capacity retention after 5000 cycles, suggesting that B-CNQDx-Ni is a type of suitable electrode material used in supercapacitors.

The precipitation of CaCO3 and its kinetics for the CaCl2–CO2–Mg(OH)2–H2O system were systematically studied to develop a novel process for eliminating solid and liquid waste from the Solvay soda process. The effects of operating conditions including temperature, CaCl2 concentration, flow rate of CO2, and stirring speed on the reaction kinetics were experimentally determined. The results revealed that low temperature, high CO2 flow rate, and fast stirring speed can accelerate the reaction rate, and the mass transfer of CO2 is the controlling step. An MSMPR crystallizer was used to obtain the experimental crystal size distribution (CSD). A simplified population balance equation (PBE) was used to correlate the parameters on the basis of supersaturation. The soda solid and liquid wastes discharged from the Solvay industry were used as raw material to test the new process and validate the methodology. The precipitated CaCO3 consists of calcite or aragonite with high purity and uniform CSD. A double-effect evaporative-cooling crystallization process to recover MgCl2·6H2O and NaCl was simulated with help of Aspen plus and the electrolyte-NRTL (ELENRTL) model, suggesting economic benefits.

Developing highly stable and broad spectrum responsive semiconductor photoelectrode materials without the use of hole scavengers is challenging for photoelectrochemical protection application. In this study, α-Fe 2 O 3 /NiFe(OH) x electrodes were successfully prepared by combining hydrothermal method and simple drop-casting technique. The morphology, structure, composition and optical property of the obtained electrodes were well characterized by SEM, XRD , XPS and UV–vis DRS . α-Fe 2 O 3 /NiFe(OH) x electrode exhibited enhanced photocathodic protection performance as compared to hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) electrode, and greatly shift photo potential and self-corrosion potential of the coupled 304 stainless steel into a more negative region. Remarkably, under visible light illumination, the prepared electrodes can protect the 304 stainless steel without the use of hole scavengers. Meanwhile, the photoanodes can maintain a better photo-stability without losing its activity. The possible mechanism for the enhanced photocathodic protection performance is proposed, which is involved with the fast hole transfer from hematite to NiFe(OH) x cocatalyst and generates high valence state Ni species to drive the water oxidation reaction. The reduced charge recombination will result in the effective electron transfer from the α-Fe 2 O 3 /NiFe(OH) x electrode to the 304 stainless steel and realize the effective protection.

Conjugated coordination polymers (CPs) with designable and predictable structures have drawn tremendous attention in recent years. However, the poor electrical conductivity and low structural stability seriously restrict their practical applications in electronic devices. Herein, the rational design and synthesis of a hierarchically structured 2D bimetallic CoNi-hexaaminobenzene CPs derived from Co(OH) 2 are reported as an efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) self-supported electrode. The as-obtained electrode possesses high electrochemical surface area and intrinsic activity, exhibiting high electrochemical catalytic activity, favorable reaction kinetics performance, and strong durability compared with those of the powder catalysts. As a result, the electrode delivers low overpotential of 219 mV @ 10 mA cm −2 and Tafel slope of 42 mV dec −1 as well as 91.3% retention of current density after 24 h of reaction time. The results of density functional theory computations reveal that the synergistic effect of Co and Ni plays an important role in OER. This work not only presents a strategy to fabricate advanced self-supported electrodes with abundant and dense active sites, but also promotes the development of conjugated CPs for electrocatalysis.

Graphical Yolk-shell nanocages : Unique octahedral yolk-shell Cu 2 O@Co(OH) 2 nanocages composed of crystalline Cu 2 O core and amorphous Co(OH) 2 shell are fabricated by a facile Cu 2 O self-templated strategy at room temperature. The as-prepared yolk-shell Cu 2 O@Co(OH) 2 nanocages demonstrate superior electrocatalytic activity for glucose oxidation due to the sufficient active sites and large surface area, synergistic effect between Cu 2 O and Co(OH) 2 , which are benefited from the special yolk-shell nanocages. Unique octahedral yolk-shell Cu 2 O@Co(OH) 2 nanocages are synthesized by a facile Cu 2 O self-templated strategy as efficient glucose oxidation electrocatalysts. Amorphous Co(OH) 2 nanoflakes are formed as octahedral shells through coordinating etching conversion from part of Cu 2 O templates. The un-etched crystalline Cu 2 O octahedrons are then remained as cores and voids exist between the cores and shells. The special structure endow these yolk-shell heterostructure nanocages with abundant active sites, large surface area, and synergistic effect between Cu 2 O and Co(OH) 2 . The octahedral yolk-shell Cu 2 O@Co(OH) 2 nanocages demonstrate superior electrocatalytic activity for glucose oxidation in terms of high sensitivity of 1340 μA cm −2 mM −1 , low detection limit of 2 μM, wide linear sensing range, and long-term stability. This strategy might shed lights on the synthesis of various yolk-shell heterostructure nanocages with controllable structures and enhanced catalytic performances.

New porous carbonaceous materials are anticipated in the energy storage and environmental application. In the present study, a new carbonaceous composite with hierarchically porous structure was prepared from Mg(OH) 2 pre-filled PAN based membrane for the first time. The obtained carbonaceous composite contains 54.1% C, 26.8% O, 6.2% N and 5.6% Mg. Afterwards, the composite was tested as a supercapacitor and dye adsorbent. Its special capacitance reached 278 F/g at the scan rate of 0.5 A/g, and 186 F/g at the scan rate of 50 A/g, which outperforms most of supercapacitors obtained from the same precursor. A good cycling stability (98% in 5000 cycles) and a high power density (about 7000 W/kg) are achieved. As a dye adsorbent, the composite shows a high MO adsorption capacity of 1170 mg/g, much higher that of the active carbons. These results indicate an effective method to prepare new carbonaceous materials or to treat those disfunctional membranes.

As photocatalysts exhibit selectivity toward various pollutants, it is necessary to develop different and novel photocatalysts. In this work, a novel photocatalyst-nitrogen-doped simonkolleite Zn 5 (OH) 8 Cl 2 ·H 2 O (DSM) is prepared through a new facile method: calcinating the mixture of zinc hydroxide, urea, and guanidine hydrochloride at 575 °C for 1 h in a furnace with an air atmosphere. The as-prepared sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, UV–visble near-infrared diffuse reflection spectra (UV–Vis–NIR DRS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, Ramen spectra and Zeta potential measurement, photocatalytic properties, as well as active species trapping experiments. XRD and XPS show the as-prepared powder is nitrogen-doped simonkolleite Zn 5 (OH) 8 Cl 2 H 2 O (DSM) with a small ZnCl 2 fraction. SEM investigation indicates that the as-prepared powder possesses a flower-like layered shape. The UV–Vis–NIR exhibits that after doping, the DSM possesses strong light absorption in the ranges of 300–500 and 1400–2500 nm, a direct electronic transition with a band gap energy of 2.469 eV. PL measurement reveals a strong photoluminescence and an up-conversion from lower to higher-energy visible light in as-prepared samples. Zeta potential investigations show that during photocatalysis, the charges on as-prepared photocatalyst are positive. The photocatalytic experiments show a good dark adsorption, a high photodegradation (99.4% at 60 min), a high pseudo-first-order constant ( k ) of 0.0261 min −1 . Meanwhile, the active species trapping experiments suggest that hole (h + ) is the dominant active species during photocatalysis. It is concluded that the doping favors in enhancing vis-light-photocatalysis. This work makes a significant contribution to the literature.

A facile and in-situ electrochemical nanofabrication towards three-dimensional graphene@nickel foam (3DGF) to produce Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets was proposed and the integrated Ni(OH) 2 /3DGF electrode for glucose sensing was researched. The nanofabrication of chemical battery reaction is mild and facile. Nanopores formation plays a key role in promoting the growth of Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets, leading to enhanced electro-catalysis. In this constructed unique 3D hierarchical architecture, graphene layers not only provide excellent electrical conductivity but also benefit to the sensing stability, while the 3D interconnected structure prevents the agglomeration or exfoliation of Ni(OH) 2 nanosheets and the porous Ni(OH) 2 film benefits to the mass and charge transfer, and thus improving the sensing performance remarkably. As a successful demonstration, the fabricated Ni(OH) 2 /3DGF glucose sensor exhibits an appreciable sensitivity 2366 μA mM −1 cm −2 and a low detection limit of 0.32 μM. This study proposes an easy and convenient strategy to prepare Ni(OH) 2 and graphene integrated glucose sensor, promisingly applied in practice.

The practical application of photocatalytic water splitting is essentially limited by the slow kinetic nature of the water oxidation process. Therefore, it is highly desirable but challenging to explore a low-cost and high-efficiency water oxidation catalyst for the aim of commercialization and industrialization. We herein report the first-time synthesis of a novel and high-efficiency visible-light-driven photocatalyst composed of flower-like Co(CO 3 ) 0.5 (OH)·0.11H 2 O (CCO) nanowires and Bi 2 WO 6 (BWO) nanosheets, i.e. CCO/BWO nanocomposite, via a facile hydrothermal method. Without utilizing any additional cocatalyst, the composite of CCO/BWO in 30% weight ratio exhibits extraordinarily high photoactivity and photostability towards O 2 evolution, achieving an average O 2 generation rate of 953 µmol h −1 g −1 under visible-light irradiation (λ > 420 nm).

In this work, β-Ni(OH) 2 monolayer nanosheets were prepared in benzyl alcohol by a facile exfoliation-free sol–gel route. The hydrolysis reaction of metal ions was started with the ring-opening reaction of epoxide. The in situ modification of benzyl alcohol molecules on the surface of secondary growth unit of hydroxide allowed the formation of β-Ni(OH) 2 monolayer nanosheets and 100 % monolayer state of β-Ni(OH) 2 in the resultant suspension. As proven in the electrochemical measurement, the maximum specific capacitance of 1735 F g −1 was obtained at scan rate of 5 mV s −1 within potential window of 0.6 V in 6 mol l −1 KOH aqueous solution, which is equal to the theoretical value of β-Ni(OH) 2 . This high electrochemical performance is attributed to the complete exposure of every structure unit of β-Ni(OH) 2 to electrolyte. This work demonstrates that monolayer nanosheets can generate from the brucite-type nickel hydroxide through this bottom-up strategy although it had been theoretically considered to be impossible.

Iron oxide nanoparticles intercalated in Ni(OH)2 nanosheets were prepared in a spontaneous way for the cathode materials of asymmetric supercapacitors. The soluble precursor of Ni(OH)2, Ni(NH3)6(OH)2, was used for growth on α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. The loading percentages of Ni(OH)2 in the Ni(OH)2–α-Fe2O3 nanocomposites had a great influence on the morphology and size of Ni(OH)2. The composites were characterized by TEM, SEM, ICP-OES, XRD and XPS. The specific capacitance of Ni(OH)2 in the composite can reach 1107 F g−1 at a scan rate of 20 mV s−1, and the specific capacitance of the Ni(OH)2–α-Fe2O3 composite can be up to 376 F g−1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s−1. More importantly, the fabricated Ni(OH)2–α-Fe2O3//AC (activated carbon) asymmetric supercapacitor exhibited energy density and power density of 31.6 W h Kg−1 and 474 W Kg−1, respectively. The cycling performance of the asymmetric supercapacitor was also excellent, and the capacitance retention reached 89.6% after 5000 charge–discharge cycles. Red, blue and yellow LED lights can be lit up with two series of asymmetric supercapacitors, revealing their potential application in energy storage.
