Room temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors remain one of the most puzzling issues to be solved in tens of years. Nowadays, 2D ferromagnetic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) nanosheets attract continuous interest due to their exceptional electronic structure and properties. Here, it is identified that semiconducting 2H-phase MoTe 2 few/mono-layer mixed nanosheets present a room temperature ferromagnetic property with Curie temperature above 400 K, although the MoTe 2 bulk counterpart shows diamagnetic properties. The origin of such observed room temperature ferromagnetism is attributed to the combination of their structural defects including Te vacancies, disorders, and amorphous imperfections and edge-states caused by reduced dimensionality. Moreover, a distinct enhancement of ferromagnetic properties at room temperature is revealed by a non-magnetic Ta doping strategy. Such structural defects and edge-states modulated ferromagnetism offers a feasible strategy to search for more robust room temperature ferromagnetic TMDCs nanosheets, which is essential to explore novel electronic and spintronic devices where both carrier charge and spin freedom can be controlled.

Interfacial design is one of the most promising ways in improving mechanical properties of nanocomposites . In this work, a multifunctional aerogel with excellent mechanical performances, sensing sensitivity, and fire retardancy is fabricated by taking advantage of metal coordination between biopolymer and Fe 3+ . Montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets are added to induce a ‘brick and mortar’ structure. The coordination remarkably reduces structural defects , leading to well-formed lamellas that can effectively distribute stress under sever compression without plastic deformation . The structural merits impart the aerogel highly reversible compressibility even at 99 % strain and superior durability. Besides, it demonstrates high sensing performance in wearable health monitoring devices, and shows fire resistance property that can maintain elasticity in a flame. The work offers a facile and effective method to create multifunctional aerogels from various polymers.

Recently, rechargeable lithium metal polymer battery (LMPB) attracts increasing attention because of its high safety and energy density properties. However, the high contact interfacial resistance of solid-state electrode and electrolyte is still an obstacle to satisfy the demand of high current density and long cycle stability, especially at room and lower temperature. Here, we develop a simple and efficient heat treatment method, to improve the interfacial compatibility between electrode and electrolyte in all-solid-state LMPB, successfully realizing workable LMPB at a reduced temperature (30 °C). The LMPB shows excellent cycling performance and rate capability in the voltage range of 2.5–4.2 V. The behavior of Li + plating/stripping on the surface of lithium metal anode is greatly enhanced. Meanwhile, the interfacial resistance of the LMPB decrease significantly after the heat treatment process .

A novel cheap eutectogel (ETG) membrane based on the deep eutectic solvent (DES) immobilized poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene) (PVDF-HFP) is proposed as a solid electrolyte for safe lithium metal batteries in this study. The composition of DES is optimized, which is prepared by mixing the N-methylacetamide (NMAC) and the lithium bis [(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imid (LiTFSI) with a molar ratio of 4:1. The eutectogel is formed by incorporating 70 wt% DES into the PVDF-HFP, which is non-flammable and shows excellent mechanical properties. This ETG membrane electrolyte with a thickness about 25 μm possess a high ionic conductivity (3.05 × 10 −4 S cm −1 ) at room temperature and a wide electrochemical stability window (~5 V). The Li//ETG//LiFePO 4 full cells deliver an acceptable discharge capacity of ~133.9 mAh g −1 at 0.1C and room temperature after 100 charge-discharge cycles. The ETG membrane electrolyte can also endow the Li//ETG//LiFePO 4 pouch cell with flexibility and withstanding abuse operations, like nail penetration and cutting. We expect that the flexible and non-flammable eutectogel membrane will have implications for the use of DES based ionic liquids in the synthesis of advanced solid-state electrolytes for safer lithium batteries .

For the electrochemical reduction of oxygen the development of heteroatom-doped carbon-based transition metal catalysts has become a recognized strategy to replace traditional noble metal catalysts. In this work a catalyst consisting of CoFe nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon-based materials (NC) supported by carbon nanotubes (CNTs), i.e. Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs, was modified via treatment with a phosphate salt to synthesize a P-Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs catalyst. The P-Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs exhibits with 5.29 mA cm−2 an enhanced current density which is comparable to a Pt/C catalyst. In addition, a stability and methanol resistance better than the Pt/C catalyst were observed which is ascribed to the carbon encapsulation and the synergies between the two transition metals. Finally, the reaction mechanism of P-doping was studied and discussed. These results provide possible directions for carbon-based catalysts and doping with heteroatoms for the improvement of catalytic activity. Moreover, the zinc–air battery assembled with P-Fe3Co1@NC/CNTs as the air-cathode exhibited a high-power density of 73 mW cm−2, which is comparable to that of Pt/C (71 mW cm−2) and a specific capacity of 763 mA h g−1. The prepared catalyst could potentially serve to take the place of precious metal catalysts in rechargeable Zn–air batteries.

Nb 2 O 5 nanoparticles with an average particle size of 10 nm supported on a rhombic dodecahedral metal organic framework (MOF) were successfully synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal reaction and subsequent calcination process. Experimental results demonstrated that the prepared catalyst drastically improved the hydrogen storage behavior of MgH 2 . 7 wt% Nb 2 O 5 @MOF doped MgH 2 started to desorb hydrogen at 181.9 °C and 6.2 wt% hydrogen could be released within 2.6 min and 6.3 min at 275 °C and 250 °C, respectively. The fully dehydrogenated composite also displayed excellent hydrogenation by decreasing the onset absorption temperature to 25 °C and taking up 4.9 wt% and 6.5 wt% hydrogen within 6 min at 175 °C and 150 °C, respectively. Moreover, the corresponding activation energy was calculated to be 75.57 ± 4.16 kJ mol −1 for desorption reaction and 51.38 ± 1.09 kJ mol −1 for absorption reaction. After 20 cycles, 0.5 wt% hydrogen capacity was lost for the MgH 2 +7 wt% Nb 2 O 5 @MOF composite, much lower than 1.5 wt% of the MgH 2 +7 wt% Nb 2 O 5 composite. However, the addition of Nb 2 O 5 @MOF had limited effect on reducing the dehydrogenation enthalpy of MgH 2 . Microstructure analysis revealed that Nb 2 O 5 particles were uniformly distributed on surface of the MgH 2 matrix and synergistically improved the hydrogen storage property of MgH 2 with MOF.

The reaction of porous γ-Al2O3 particles acting as both a sacrificial template and an aluminum source with 1,4-naphthalene diacid (H2NDC) resulted in the formation of γ-AlOOH@Al(OH)(1,4-NDC) composites, in which ZIF-67 was then loaded by the in situ crystallization method, leading to the formation of γ-AlOOH@Al(OH)(1,4-NDC)@ZIF-67 composites. The deliberately designed composite was used to separate H2/D2 at 77 K in a 1 m chromatographic column. The results demonstrated that the optimized composite can achieve the effective separation of H2/D2 in gas chromatography due to the additive effects of kinetic sieving and chemical affinity quantum sieving of Al(OH)(1,4-NDC) and ZIF-67. By optimizing chromatographic separation conditions, the resolution R reached 2.02 with the separation time t = 7.72 min. The composite also showed satisfactory repeatability and reproducibility.

A series of well-dispersed bimetallic Pd@Pt nanodendrites uniformly supported on XC-72 carbon black are fabricated by using different capping agents. These capping agents are essential for the branched morphology control. However, the surfactant adsorbed on the nanodendrites surface blocks the access of reactant molecules to the active surface sites, and the catalytic activities of these bimetallic nanodendrites are significantly restricted. Herein, a facile reflux procedure to effectively remove the capping agent molecules without significantly affecting their sizes is reported for activating supported nanocatalysts. More significantly, the structure and morphology of the nanodendrites can also be retained, enhancing the numbers of active surface sites, catalytic activity and stability toward methanol and ethanol electro-oxidation reactions. The as-obtained hot water reflux-treated Pd@Pt/C catalyst manifests superior catalytic activity and stability both in terms of surface and mass specific activities, as compared to the untreated catalysts and the commercial Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts. We anticipate that this effective and facile removal method has more general applicability to highly active nanocatalysts prepared with various surfactants, and should lead to improvements in environmental protection and energy production.

In this paper, novel hydrogen-bonded metal-complex frameworks MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 were selected as adsorbents to adsorb iodine. MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 were prepared by layering method and mixed stirring method, respectively. The structures of the two HOFs were characterized in detail by XRD , BET, TGA and FT-IR. The adsorption behavior and adsorption capacity of MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 for iodine were investigated in detail. The experimental data showed that the equilibrium adsorption amounts of MPM-1-TIFSIX and HOF-21 were 205.51 mg/g and 172.86 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process of MPM-1-TIFSIX was conformed to be pseudo-second-order kinetic, while the adsorption process of HOF-21 was conformed to be pseudo-first-order kinetic. The results indicated that HOFs could be used as iodine capture and storage materials.

The combination of high conductivity and good stability against Li is not easy to achieve for solid electrolytes , hindering the development of high energy solid-state batteries . In this study, doped electrolytes of Li 3 P 1- x Sb x S 4-2.5 x O 2.5 x are successfully prepared via the high energy ball milling and subsequent heat treatment . Plenty of techniques like XRD , Raman, SEM, EDS and TEM are utilized to characterize the crystal structures, particle sizes, and morphologies of the glass-ceramic electrolytes. Among them, the Li 3 P 0.98 Sb 0.02 S 3.95 O 0.05 ( x = 0.02) exhibits the highest ionic conductivity (∼1.08 mS cm −1 ) at room temperature with an excellent stability against lithium. In addition, all-solid-state lithium batteries are assembled with LiCoO 2 as cathode, Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li 3 P 0.98 Sb 0.02 S 3.95 O 0.05 as the bi-layer electrolyte, and lithium as anode. The constructed solid-state batteries delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 133 mAh g −1 at 0.1C in the range of 3.0–4.3 V vs. Li/Li + at room temperature, and shows a capacity retention of 78.6% after 50 cycles. Most importantly, the all-solid-state lithium batteries with the Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li 3 P 0.98 Sb 0.02 S 3.95 O 0.05 electrolyte can be workable even at −10 °C. This study provides a promising electrolyte with the improved conductivity and stability against Li for the application of all-solid-state lithium batteries.

Controllably mounting foreign atoms on the surfaces of earth-abundant electrocatalysts strongly improve their surface electronic properties for optimizing the catalytic performance of surficial sites to an unusual level, and provides a good platform to gain deep insights into catalytic reactions . The present work describes, employing ultrafine W 2 C nanoislands (average size: 2.3 nm) monodispersed on the N, P dual-doped carbon frameworks as a model system, how to regulate the atomic phosphorous-mounting effect on the surfaces of W 2 C to derive an active and stable P-mounting W 2 C (WCP) catalyst for both acidic and alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Since in situ phosphorus substitution into carbon sites of preformed W 2 C nanoislands gradually proceeds from surfaces to solids, so that using a proper amount of phosphorus sources can readily control the surface mounting level to avoid the mass P-doping into the bulk. By this way, the activity per active site of WCP catalyst with robust stability can be optimized to 0.07 and 0.56 H 2 s −1 at –200 mV overpotential in acid and base, respectively, which reach up to the several-fold of pure-phase W 2 C (0.01 and 0.05 H 2 s −1 ). Theoretical investigations suggest that compared with solid P doping, the P mounting on W 2 C surface can more remarkably enhance its metallicity and decrease the hydrogen release barrier. This finding disclosed a key correlation between surface foreign atom-mounting and catalytic activity , and suggested a logical extension to other earth-abundant catalysts for various catalytic reactions .

The self-healing solid polymer electrolytes (SHSPEs) can spontaneously eliminate mechanical damages or micro-cracks generated during the assembly or operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), significantly improving cycling performance and extending service life of LIBs. Here, we report a novel cross-linked network SHSPE (PDDP) containing hydrogen bonds and dynamic disulfide bonds with excellent self-healing properties and non-flammability. The combination of hydrogen bonding between urea groups and the metathesis reaction of dynamic disulfide bonds endows PDDP with rapid self-healing capacity at 28 °C without external stimulation. Furthermore, the addition of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMIMTFSI) improves the ionic conductivity (1.13 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 28 °C) and non-flammability of PDDP. The assembled Li/PDDP/LiFePO 4 cell exhibits excellent cycling performance with a discharge capacity of 137 mA h g −1 after 300 cycles at 0.2 C. More importantly, the self-healed PDDP can recover almost the same ionic conductivity and cycling performance as the original PDDP.
