In the realm of gas sensors, p-type metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) usually exhibits inherently low sensitivity toward target gases caused by the hole accumulation layer configuration , which seriously hinders its practical application. Diatomics co-doping is an efficient tactic for adjusting the characteristics of MOS related to gas-sensing due to their synergistic effect . In this work, we controllably synthesized bare Co 3 O 4 , Sn-doped Co 3 O 4 , Mn-doped Co 3 O 4 and Sn/Mn co-doped Co 3 O 4 nanosheets . The experimental results reveal that Sn/Mn co-doped Co 3 O 4 sample presents porous nanosheets structure. 1 mol% Sn/Mn co-doped Co 3 O 4 sensor presents enhanced response [(R g -R a )/R a = 330 %∼40 ppm at 150 °C] toward CO compared with the bare Co 3 O 4 , 1 mol% Sn-doped Co 3 O 4 , and 1 mol% Mn-doped Co 3 O 4 nanosheets. Besides, 1 mol% Sn/Mn co-doped Co 3 O 4 nanosheets show a low limit of detection (500 ppb/experimental value), good stability and selectivity. We infer that the good CO-sensing properties may be ascribed to the oxygen vacancies defects generated by Sn 4+ and Mn 2+ /Mn 3+ co-doping, high Co 3+ ratio, and high specific surface area. This study affords an effective co-doping strategy for enhancing the gas-sensing performances of p-type MOS.

Ni-MOF-74 is among the most promising candidates for CO adsorption due to its highest CO adsorption capacity. However, the feasibility of using Ni-MOF-74 in actual CO/N2 pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processing cannot be reliably inferred based solely on its adsorption capacity at normal temperature and pressure. Hence, we systematically studied its CO working capacity and regenerability at different test temperatures and pressure ranges by single-component static and binary-component dynamic (CO/N2, 50%/50% and 30%/70%, v/v) experiments. The static experiments preliminarily indicated an appropriate operating temperature of 100 °C with adsorption–desorption pressures in the range of 3.0–0.1 bar for the PSA process. The working capacity and regenerability of CO were evaluated as 3.41 mmol·g–1 and 66.21% (adsorption–desorption pressure: 3.0–0.1 bar, 100 °C). A higher temperature reduces the binding force between CO and Ni-MOF-74, so that more CO is desorbed, which leads to an increase in the working capacity and regenerability of CO. Furthermore, through CO/N2 binary-component dynamic breakthrough experiments, the optimal operating temperature and CO adsorption partial pressure for the PSA process were determined as 100 °C and 1.5 bar at a total desorption pressure of 0.2 bar. Typically, for a CO/N2 composition of 50%/50%, the CO working capacity and regenerability were 2.66 mmol·g–1 and 85.25% at 100 °C and a CO partial pressure of 1.5 bar (total CO adsorption pressure of 3.0 bar) at a total desorption pressure of 0.2 bar. These results may guide PSA process design and optimization for adsorbents with strong CO binding ability.

Ni–Co and Ni–Co/ZrO 2 composite coatings have been synthesized via a single-step direct current (DC) electrodeposition route as a protective coating. The influences of electrodeposition current density, time and ZrO 2 concentration on structural, composition and properties of Ni–Co coating were investigated. All coatings present compact, crack-free and nodular-like morphology in a nanocrystalline structure. Some aggregations still exist in the coating. The preferred orientation of these coatings changed from (200) to (111) texture with a fcc structure . The amount of Co in Ni–Co matrix slightly decreases as current density and time increases. The Co and ZrO 2 content in Ni–Co/ZrO 2 matrix increase with the increasing of ZrO 2 concentration in bath. Less than 60 min is beneficial for low roughness of Ni–Co/ZrO 2 coating. Current density, deposition time and ZrO 2 embedded in metallic matrix affect the hardness of Ni–Co alloy. Ni–Co/ZrO 2 coating has enhanced hardness compared to Ni–Co ones. Although they might not exhibit the best corrosion resistance in the initial immersing stage, Ni–Co/ZrO 2 composite coating obtained at 2 – 4 A dm −2 with 5–10 g L -1 ZrO 2 presents the better corrosion resistance and desirable performance stability during the long-term immersion process in aggressive media. The Ni–Co/ZrO 2 coating exhibits promising advantages as a protective coating.

The serious problem of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning on the surface of Pt-based catalysts has long constrained the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Regeneration of Pt sites by maintaining CO scavenging ability through precise construction of the surface and interface structure of the catalyst is the key to obtaining high-performance CO-resistant catalysts. Here, we used molybdenum carbide (MoC x ) as the support for Pt and introduced Ru single atoms (SA-Ru) at the Pt-MoC x interface to jointly decrease the CO adsorption strength on Pt. More importantly, the MoC x and SA-Ru are immune to CO poisoning, which continuously assists in the oxidation of adsorbed CO by generating oxygen species from water dissociation. These two effects combine to confer this anode catalyst (SA-Ru@Pt/MoC x ) remarkable CO tolerance and the ability to operate stably in fuel cell with high CO concentration (power output 85.5 mW cm −2 @20,000 ppm CO + H 2 – O 2 ), making it possible to directly use the cheap reformed hydrogen as the fuel for PEMFCs.

The design of highly efficient catalysts for CO 2 reforming with ethanol is of great interest due to the serious coke deposition and the sintering of active metal. In this work, sandwich-type Co core@shell catalyst (SiO 2 @Co@CeO 2 ) with Co nanoparticles between SiO 2 core and CeO 2 shell was synthesized by strong electrostatic adsorption method. Interestingly, SiO 2 @Co@CeO 2 catalyst exhibited the outstanding activity/stability toward CO 2 reforming of ethanol in comparison with Co-SiO 2 catalyst. A bi-functional mechanism involving active sites on CeO 2 shell was proposed. Indeed, cobalt nanoparticles between SiO 2 core and CeO 2 shell maintained the high dispersion because of the confinement effect, which supplied a stable Co-ceria interface area where the reaction occurred. In addition, CO 2 could readily react with the O vacancies in CeO 2 shell to form surface oxygen species and CO, which allowed a continuous cleaning of coke. These positive factors could make it as an attractive candidate for dry reforming process.

Metal−organic framework (MOF)-derived magnetic porous carbon not only have excellent magnetic loss, but also can construct various nanostructures through appropriate design to enhance electromagnetic waves (EMWs) absorption. Herein, magnetic porous carbon (Co/Ni@C) derived from rod-shaped Co/Ni-MOFs was selected as magnetic components and MXene was regarded as conductive materials to construct the three-dimensional porous Co/Ni@C/MXene/cellulose-derived carbon foams via a simple solution mixing-regeneration, freeze-drying process and a facile pyrolysis strategy. Due to the electric/magnetic coupling loss and the interfacial polarization loss caused by multi-interface architecture, the synthesized carbon foam achieves an absorption coefficient of 0.54 and a high EMI SE of 70.4 dB, which enhances the electromagnetic shielding performance without damaging the high absorption coefficient. This work provides a basis for the preparation of electromagnetic shielding composite materials with multi-interface structures to achieve efficient EMI SE and superior absorption coefficients.

Oxides (such as SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CeO2) have often been used to prepare supported Pt catalysts for CO oxidation and other reactions, whereas metal phosphate-supported Pt catalysts for CO oxidation were rarely reported. Metal phosphates are a family of metal salts with high thermal stability and acid-base properties. Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, denoted as Ca-P-O here) also has rich hydroxyls. Here we report a series of metal phosphate-supported Pt (Pt/M-P-O, M = Mg, Al, Ca, Fe, Co, Zn, La) catalysts for CO oxidation. Pt/Ca-P-O shows the highest activity. Relevant characterization was conducted using N2adsorption-desorption, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), CO2temperature-programmed desorption (CO2-TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and H2temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR). This work furnishes a new catalyst system for CO oxidation and other possible reactions.Keywords:metal phosphate;hydroxyapatite;Pt catalyst;CO oxidation

The utilization of solar energy in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction technology has demonstrated a significant potential in addressing the challenges of environmental pollution and energy shortage issues. Precise modulating of the photoreduction CO 2 pathway to achieve desired products is of particular interest, while the design of cost-effective and robust catalysts remains crucial. Herein, a series of BiOBr-based photocatalysts with different Co species were synthesized through a facile simple hydrothermal method in combination with the mechanical mixing. The Co species, which can be precisely modulated from Co 3 O 4 to CoOOH by adjusting the concentration of H 2 O 2 , were anchored into the BiOBr nanospheres to establish rich Z-scheme heterojunction interfaces. The Co species modulating of BiOBr-based Z-scheme heterojunction can achieve the transform photoreduction CO 2 products from CO to CH 4 . The CO selectivity in CO 2 photoreduction to reached 98.10 % (54.10 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 ), while the CH 4 selectivity over CoOOH/BiOBr reached 72.59 % (20.06 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 ). The outstanding photocatalytic performance and selective regulation of products are ascribed to the modulation of Co species in the BiOBr-based heterojunctions, which enables the customization of the photoreduction CO 2 pathway to achieve the desired products transformation from CO to CH 4 . In situ experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that the excellent CO selectivity observed in Co 3 O 4 /BiOBr heterojunction can be ascribed to a lower energy for *CO species compared with that of hydrogenation to *HCOOH and *CHO intermediates. Conversely, the presence of *HCOOH and *CHO intermediates with lower energy levels compared with *CO species achieved superior CH 4 selectivity in CoOOH/BiOBr heterojunction. This precise design strategy insights into the meticulous customization of Co species in semiconductor-based heterostructures at the molecular level, and enlightens the selective regulation of desired products for catalysis applications.

Due to restrictive linear relationship between intermediates in adsorption evolution mechanism (AEM) of oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a higher overpotential must be overcome for conversion of *O to *OOH. Activating lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) can address the AEM’s challenges by facilitating O-O coupling. However, via LOM pathway, extracting electrons from metal-oxygen (M−O) bonds usually results in structural instability. Herein, we propose an effective method to stabilize LOM-catalysts by combining cerium dioxide with cobalt phosphide (CeO 2 /CoP heterostructure). CeO 2 acts as an electron buffer to retain/provide electrons at different stages, while CoP with strong Co-P covalency enhances structural/catalytic stability in strongly-alkaline conditions. CeO 2 /CoP exhibits an OER overpotential of only 225 mV at 10 mA cm −2 . Initially, CeO 2 acquires electrons from CoP to accelerate surface reconstruction and form high-valence Co δ+ (CoOOH). Then, CoOOH acquires electrons from the 4 f -orbital of Ce through the Ce-O-Co interface, rather than from the M−O bond, thus ensuring OER stability. For water splitting, bifunctional CeO 2 /CoP-assembled electrolyzer requires a cell-voltage of only 1.54 V to achieve 10 mA cm −2 and retains 89.5 % of its activity after 72 h of cycling. It highlights that leveraging electron-buffering metal species can enhance the LOM stability, thereby enabling its application in bifunctional electrocatalysis.

Promotion of Au/TiO2 by FeOx addition is shown to result in a very strong enhancement of activity and selectivity in the NO reduction with CO. The nanocomposite Au-FeOx/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by deposition–precipitation (Au/TiO2) and subsequent impregnation (FeOx). Structural characterization of the nanocomposite catalysts using XRD, TEM, TPR, XPS, and DRIFTS revealed that they consist of titania-supported Au particles of about 4.4–4.8 nm size, which were partially covered with a thin layer of FeOx,, mainly made up of Fe2+ (FeO), in addition to a small fraction of Fe3+ (Fe2O3). In situ DRIFTS studies showed that, in comparison to Au/TiO2, on the Au-FeOx/TiO2 nanocomposites new adsorption sites were created, which led to enrichment of CO and NO molecules on the Au surface and at its interfaces with FeOx and TiO2. At the reaction temperature (250 °C), a new surface NO–CO complex, where both Fe and Au are proposed to be involved in the adsorptive interaction, was discovered. The titania-supported Au-FeOx nanocomposites considerably facilitated the formation of this complex and contributed to the striking enhancement of the catalytic performance (activity and selectivity) of the Au-based catalyst.

The traditional method of preparing hydrogen and oxygen as efficient clean energy sources mainly relies on the use of platinum, palladium, and other precious metals. However, the high cost and low abundance limit wide application of such metals. As such, one challenging issue is the development of low-cost and high-efficiency electrocatalysts for such purposes. In this study, we synthesized Co–FeS2/CoS2 heterostructures via a hydrothermal method for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Benefitting from their unique three-dimensional hierarchical nanostructures, Co-doped FeS2, and CoS2 formed heterostructures on Co–FeS2 petals, which bestowed remarkable electrocatalytic properties upon Co–FeS2/CoS2 nanostructures. Co–FeS2/CoS2 effectively catalyzed the OER with an overpotential of 278 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH solution, and also is capable of driving a current density −10 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of −103 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. The overpotential of the OER and HER only decreased by 5 mV and 3 mV after 1000 cycles. Our Co–FeS2/CoS2 materials may offer a promising alternative to noble metal-based electrocatalysts for water splitting.

The preparation of active, stable and low-cost non-noble electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using the electrochemical water splitting process is crucial for the promotion of sustainable energy. In this study, Co–Ni alloys with various Co contents are prepared using a galvanostatic method and the co-deposition behavior of Co2+ and Ni2+ in ethylene glycol (EG) is reported. These results indicate that the presence of additional Ni2+ species can accelerate the Co–Ni co-deposition process and Co2+ species in the system can inhibit the reduction of Ni2+. Moreover, the two effects are improved with an increase in Ni2+ or Co2+ species concentration in the EG system, respectively. Chronoamperometry records show that the Co–Ni electro-crystallization mechanism is one of 3D instantaneous nucleation and growth. Moreover, the Co–Ni alloy with 59.46 wt% Co exhibits high electrocatalytic activity for HER with an overpotential of 133 mV at 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M KOH due to a high value of electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) (955.0 cm2). Therefore, the Co–Ni alloy electrocatalyst obtained from the EG system could be a promising candidate for practical hydrogen production.
