The insufficient generation of oxidative active species severely limits the activity of photocatalytic aerobic oxidation for organic pollutants degradation in wastewater. Herein, transition metal phosphides (TMPs) cocatalysts, including Ni 2 P, Co 2 P, and NiCoP, were loaded on Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 nanosheets by a simple liquid assembly method. Among which, 15% NiCoP/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 heterojunction exhibits the optimal photocatalytic activity for degrading phenolic pollutants owing to the high concentration of h + and •O 2 − active species, and it displays excellent tolerance for the inorganic ions, pH value, water matrix, and outdoor sunlight. The S-scheme charge transfer mechanism was revealed for NiCoP/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 heterojunction, which significantly improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers and facilitates the accumulation of active h + . Furthermore, NiCoP with high reduction potential and outstanding O 2 activation ability is served as the active site for producing •O 2 − . This work can inspire the further design of bifunctional photocatalysts for efficient photocatalytic aerobic oxidation applications.

Photocatalytic overall water splitting simultaneously generates O2 and H2; this is a potential strategy to solve the energy shortage problem. Elemental phosphorus (RP) displays ultralow visible light performance for O2 and H2 generation; thus, a novel α-Fe2O3/RP composite is designed and prepared by a low-temperature hydrothermal method via loading a trace amount of α-Fe2O3. In the experiment, the 1.5% α-Fe2O3/RP composite showed the best overall water splitting performance, which is 6.9 times that of bare RP. Through various characterization studies, the recombination rate of charges is significantly reduced. It is largely ascribed to the matched energy band structure of the two photocatalysts and the interface contact between α-Fe2O3 and RP, which efficiently separates the photocarriers through an S-scheme mode and realizes the obvious enhancement of overall water splitting performance. Moreover, α-Fe2O3/RP maintains high activity when it is persistently irradiated for 15 cycles. The research provides insight into the exploitation of low-cost, high-activity, and stable RP-based photocatalysts to achieve visible light induced overall water splitting activity to generate O2 and H2.

The catalytic hydrogenation of petroleum resin (PR) to high value-added hydrogenated PR (HPR) represents a forward-looking technology for upgrading the pyrolysis petroleum by-product. Herein, flower-like and pure-phase supported nickel phosphide catalysts were controllably fabricated through a hydrotalcite strategy with red phosphorous as the P source. The PR hydrogenation activity of the catalysts followed the order of Ni 2 P/Al 2 O 3 > NiP 2 /Al 2 O 3 > Ni/Al 2 O 3 > imp-Ni 2 P/Al 2 O 3 catalysts (prepared by the impregnation method). Such enhanced performance of Ni 2 P/Al 2 O 3 could be ascribed to small nickel phosphide particle size and rich active Ni δ+ species. Notably, the sulfur contents of PR were effectively reduced from 55.4 (C 5 PR) and 72.3 ppm (C 9 PR) to 3.8 and 7.9 ppm after hydrogenation by Ni 2 P/Al 2 O 3 . Meanwhile, Ni 2 P/Al 2 O 3 also exhibited good stability with the hydrogenation degree of HC 5 PR maintaining at 94.39 % after 100 h. Our work provides a promising nickel phosphide catalyst with outstanding hydrogenation activity, hydrodesulfurization ability, and stability toward PR hydrogenation.

Solar-driven activation of molecular oxygen (O 2 ) offers an appealing strategy to realize aerobic oxidation catalysis at room temperature, while the efficiency of photocatalytic O 2 activation is severely limited by lacking O 2 adsorption sites and poor carrier utilization. Herein, an efficient Ni 2 P/Bi 3 O 4 Br-OVs heterojunction is firstly proposed to overcome the limitation by the dual-site design of oxygen vacancies (OVs) and on Ni 2 P cocatalyst. By the joint observations from spectroscopic measurements and theoretical simulations, the introduction of OVs and Ni 2 P on Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheets can not only optimize the light absorption, facilitate the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carrier through the S-scheme mechanism, but also provide active sites for effective adsorption and activation of oxygen molecules, thereby contributing to highly efficient generation of •O 2 − radicals. Benefiting from the more oxidative active species of •O 2 − and h + , the Ni 2 P/Bi 3 O 4 Br-OVs photocatalyst achieves near-unity conversion rate and selectivity in aerobic oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide, and it also exhibits outstanding photoactivity in the aerobic degradation of phenolic pollutants under visible light. This study showcases a feasible O 2 activation approach by defect and heterojunction engineering, and provides a new perspective for designing high-performance photocatalysts in the field of aerobic oxidation catalysis.

In the present work, a microwave-assisted and secondary roasting preparation process was used to synthesize nanocomposite materials. These materials were modified with amorphous cobalt nanoparticles (Co NPs) on the surface of biochar doped with different nitrogen sources (melamine (Me), 1,10-phenanthroline (Ph), and urea (Ur)). The nanocomposite (Co-N-C(Ur)) with urea as the nitrogen source promoted the generation of mesopores on the surface of carbon materials due to its evaporation during the preparation process thus enhancing the attachment sites of cobalt nanoparticles. The Co-N-C(Ur) had a more significant degradation effect on the primary carcinogen sulfamethazine (SMT) by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The degradation rate of SMT pollutants was 96.6 % within 30 min. The optimal reaction conditions were as follows: catalyst dosage of 0.4 g L −1 , PMS dosage of 0.812 mM, SMT concentration of 10 mg L −1 , and pH of 5.67. Additionally, the Co-N-C(Ur) catalysts possess excellent specific surface area due to the evaporation effect of the calcination process of urea itself compared to other nitrogen source doping. Electrochemical tests revealed that the composites prepared with urea as the nitrogen source had higher PMS-induced current density and lowered material impedance values, which effectively promoted the catalytic performance of SMT degradation. Concurrently, the Co-N-C (Ur) + PMS reaction system exhibited excellent catalytic performance against other antibiotic organic pollutants. Subsequently, through the capture experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance technical analyses, it was determined that the singlet 1 O 2 played a leading role in the reaction system. Finally, a thorough liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis suggested the possible SMT degradation pathways, thereby providing a new strategy for the subsequent heterogeneous catalysts to degrade persistent organic pollutants.

Heterostructured electrodes have gained increasing attentions owing to the synergistic effects from individual building components and the unique interfaces. However, rational design and controllable fabrication of high areal capacity and durable phosphorus-based heterostructure anode for industry remains a critical challenge. Herein, a new red@black phosphorus core–shell heterostructure anchored on three-dimensional N-doped graphene (RP@BP/3DNG) has been prepared via a facile one-step solvothermal strategy. As demonstrated by experimental data and theoretical calculations, RP@BP/3DNG shows a superior high electronic conductivity and an extremely low Na + diffusion barrier due to the build-in filed at the RP@BP heterointerface, thus RP@BP/3DNG delivers an ultra-high areal capacity of 3.46 mAh cm −2 (1440.2 mAh/g at 0.05 A/g), impressive rate performance (521.3 mAh/g at 10.0 A/g) as well as unprecedented capacity retention rate of 89.3% after 1200 cycles at 10.0 A/g when evaluated as an anode for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Furthermore, the internal electric field at the interfaces of RP@BP leads to the shift of electron cloud from BP to RP, which greatly suppresses the reaction activity of lone-pair electrons of BP atoms, and therefore RP@BP/3DNG shows much enhanced air stability. This work heralds a new insight for designing high-performance and stable P-based anodes for rechargeable batteries.

To improve the exothermic temperature and flammability of polyurethane foam (PUF), red phosphorus (RP) and diatomite (D) from mechanical milling were chosen as the flame retardants to be incorporated into the polyurethane/waterglass foam (PUHF). The maximum exothermic temperature and temperature distribution of PUF and PUHF were measured using an infrared thermal camera. The morphology and chemical structure of the flame retardants as well as the chemical structure, morphology, compressive strength, thermal stability and flame retardancy of different PUFs were comprehensively investigated by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, compression test, thermogravimetric analysis, limiting oxygen index, vertical burning combustion test, cone calorimetry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The obtained results showed that the maximum exothermic temperature and temperature distribution of PUHF were lower and more uniform than those of PUF. The addition of D increased the dispersion of RP in PUHF, and the uniform and closed pore structures and compressive property were well-retained. Moreover, RP/D/PUHF exhibited excellent thermal stability and flame retardant properties. In addition, a possible flame retardant mechanism of RP/D/PUHF was proposed.

It is well known that the “iron” impurity will influence the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline electrolyte, especially for the Ni-based electrocatalyst. Many research studies have investigated the function of Fe in the OER active phase, such as M(OH)2/MOOH (M = Ni and/or Fe), while, surprisingly, very few studies have examined the function of Fe in the “precatalyst” system. Accordingly, in this work, the Ni3–xFexP (x = 0, 0.5, 1) series as an Ni-based precatalyst was employed to inspect the function of internal and external Fe in the Ni-based precatalyst system. It was realized that the sample with internal Fe (i.e., Ni2.5Fe0.5P and Ni2FeP) exhibits efficient OER activity compared to that of the Fe-free one (i.e., Ni3P) owing to the large amount of active M(OH)2/MOOH formed on the surface. This indicates that the internal Fe in the present system may have the ability to facilitate the phase transformation; it was later rationalized from electronic structural calculations that the d band center of the internal Fe (middle transition metal) and Ni (late transition metal) holds the key for this observation. Adding excessive ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2·4H2O) as the external Fe in the electrolyte will greatly improve the OER performances for Ni3P; nevertheless, that the OER activity of Ni2FeP is still much superior than that of Ni3P corroborates the fact that the Fe impurity is not the only reason for the elevated OER activity of Ni2FeP and that internal Fe is also critical to the phase transformation as well as OER performance.

Over the past few decades, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) artificial bone joint materials faced problems of poor wear resistance and easy infection, which are not suitable for the growing demand of bone joints. The tribological behavior and wear mechanism of polyetheretherketone (PEEK)/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets have been investigated under dry sliding friction. Compared with pure PEEK, the COF of PEEK/10 wt% PTFE/0.5 wt% BP was reduced by about 73% (from 0.369 to 0.097) and the wear rate decreased by approximately 95% (from 1.0 × 10−4mm3/(N m) to 5.1 × 10−6mm3/(N m)) owing to the lubrication of the BP transfer film. Moreover, BP can endow the PEEK composites with excellent biological wettability and antibacterial properties. The antibacterial rate of PEEK/PTFE/BP was assessed to be over 99.9%, which might help to solve the problem of PEEK implant inflammation. After comprehensive evaluation in this research, 0.5 wt% BP nanosheet-filled PEEK/PTFE material displayed the optimum lubrication and antibacterial properties, and thus could be considered as a potential candidate for its application in biomedical materials.Keywords:black phosphorus;polyetheretherketone;lubrication properties;antibacterial properties

In this work, macrocyclic molecule cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6])-modified two-dimensional black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) used as photoactivated support were synthesized by a simple solvothermal method . Palladium nanoparticles were anchored on the surface of BP-CB[6] to obtain the composite material Pd/BP-CB[6] by using a chemical reduction method. Then, the electrocatalytic activity of the composite material modified electrode in the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) was investigated. The Pd/BP-CB[6] catalyst exhibits a high mass activity (1420 mA·mg Pd −1 ), which is 4.1 times higher than commercial Pd/C. Impressively, the ethanol oxidation activity of the Pd/BP-CB[6] electrode under visible light irradiation (1900 mA·mg Pd −1 ) is 1.34 times higher than under dark conditions. The result is obtained through a series of evaluations, including cyclic voltammetry , chronopotentiometry , chronoamperometry , and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , in which the prepared Pd/BP-CB[6] shows higher catalytic activity and stability than Pd/BP. These results suggest that the synergistic effect of photocatalysis and electrocatalysis improves the electron transport kinetics of the Pd/BP-CB[6] electrode in the EOR process. Two-dimensional black phosphorus nanosheets can be used as promising photoactivated supports, to which functional material CB[6] is fixed by hydrogen bonding . Meanwhile, the electrostatic interaction between CB[6] and noble metal helps to improve the stability of the catalyst. This work provides a new idea for developing efficient photoresponsive electrode material in direct ethanol fuel cells.

Transition metal phosphide composite materials have become an excellent choice for use in supercapacitor electrodes due to their excellent conductivity and good catalytic activity. In our study, a series of nickel phosphide heterostructure composites was prepared using a temperature-programmed phosphating method, and their electrochemical performance was tested in 2 mol L−1KOH electrolyte. Because the interface effect can increase the catalytic active sites and improve the ion transmission, the prepared Ni2P/Ni3P/Ni (Ni/P = 7:3) had a specific capacity of 321 mAh g−1under 1 A g−1and the prepared Ni2P/Ni5P4(Ni/P = 5:4) had a specific capacity of 218 mAh g−1under 1 A g−1. After the current density was increased from 0.5 A g−1to 5 A g−1, 76% of the specific capacity was maintained. After 7000 cycles, the capacity retention rate was above 82%. Due to the phase recombination effect, the electrochemical performance of Ni2P/Ni3P/Ni and Ni2P/Ni5P4was much better than that of single-phase N2P. After assembling the prepared composite and activated carbon into a supercapacitor, the Ni2P/Ni3P/Ni//AC had an energy density of 22 W h kg−1and a power density of 800 W kg−1and the Ni2P/Ni5P4//AC had an energy density of 27 W h kg−1and a power density of 800 W kg−1.Keywords:nickel phosphide heterostructure;electrochemical pseudocapacitance;temperature programming;supercapacitor

Phosphorus-rich iron phosphides (FeP2) have been regarded as excellent anode candidates for lithium storage owing to their low cost, high natural abundance, high theoretical capacity, and reasonable redox potential. However, FeP2 suffers from a few challenging problems such as low reversibility, fast capacity degradation, and big volume variation. Herein, we have designed and synthesized a 3D honeycomb-like carbon skeleton with embedded FeP2 nanoparticles (denoted as FeP2 NPs@CK), which can significantly promote the kinetics and maintain the structural stability during the cycling, resulting in an excellent electrochemical performance reflected by high reversibility and long-term cycling stability. FeP2 NPs@CK shows high reversibility, delivering a reversible capacity as high as 938 mA h g−1 at 0.5 A g−1. It also shows excellent cycling stability, delivering a capacity of 620 mA h g−1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g−1. Moreover, the fast kinetics and lithium storage mechanism of FeP2 NPs@CK are investigated by quantitative analysis and in situ X-ray diffraction. Such superior performance demonstrates that FeP2 NPs@CK could be a promising and attractive anode candidate for lithium storage.
