A novel S-scheme Au/g-C 3 N 4 /BiO 1.2 I 0.6 plasmonic heterojunction was constructed by calcining a mixture of flower-like BiOI and Au/g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets for the first time. This Au/g-C 3 N 4 /BiO 1.2 I 0.6 heterojunction exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity in bisphenol AF (BPAF) degradation and Cr(VI) reduction with high cycle stability under visible light irradiation. In particular, the photocatalytic performance of the optimum material developed (4-Au/g-C 3 N 4 /BiO 1.2 I 0.6 ) can reach 0.0174 min −1 (apparent rate of BPAF degradation) and 0.0204 min −1 (apparent rate of Cr(VI) reduction), which were 6.5 and 3.7 times that of pristine g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. The high photocatalytic performance was due to the high efficiency of charge separation, the excellent light absorption of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) caused by the Au deposition, and the formation of S-scheme heterojunctions, which maintained strong photocatalytic reduction and oxidation activity. Noticeably, the charge density difference and band offsets of the g-C 3 N 4 /BiO 1.2 I 0.6 were calculated. The results revealed that an internal electric field (IEF) was created, which further demonstrated the formation of an S-scheme photocatalytic mechanism.

Two isomers of commercial 4,4′-(4,4′-isopropylidenediphenoxy) bis(phthalic anhydride) (4,4′-BPADA), that is, 3,4′-(4,4′-isopropylidenediphenoxy) bis(phthalic anhydride) (3,4′-BPADA) and 3,3′-(4,4′-isopropylidenediphenoxy) bis(phthalic anhydride) (3,3′-BPADA), were synthesized through aromatic nucleophilic substitution from nitrophthalonitrile and bisphenol A. 3,4′-BPADA was first synthesized from two intermediates, that is, 3-(4-[4-hydroxyphenylisopropylidene] phenoxy) phthalonitrile (3-BPADN) and 3,4′-(4,4′-isopropylidenediphenoxy) bis(phthalonitrile) (3,4′-BPATN). The corresponding three series of polyetherimides (PEIs) were prepared with two representative aromatic diamines (4,4′-oxydianiline and m -phenylenediamine ( m -PDA)) via two-step procedure and chemical imidization. Isomeric polyimides showed T g s from 206 to 256°C in nitrogen and T d5% s from 488 to 511°C in argon, good mechanical properties (tensile moduli of 2.3–3.3 GPa, tensile strengths of 70–96 MPa, and elongations at break of 3.2%–5.1%), and good solubility. With the introduction of 3-substituted phthalimide unit, PEIs displayed higher T g values, lower strengths and elongations, better solubility and larger d -spacings. The rheological properties of thermoplastic polyimide resins based on the BPADA isomers were investigated, which showed that polyetherimide PEI-3b derived from 3,3′-BPADA and m -PDA had the lowest melt viscosity among the isomers, indicating that the melt processibility had been greatly improved.

Poor cycling performance caused by the shuttle effect of polysulfides is the main obstacle in the development of advanced lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries. Functional polymer binders with polar groups can effectively adsorb polysulfides chemically, thereby suppressing the shuttle effect. Herein, a robust three-dimensional crosslinked polymer network, which demonstrates excellent mechanical property and strong affinity for polysulfides , is prepared by the aldimine condensation and coordination reactions. The crosslinked chitosan sulfate network (CCSN) significantly enhances the cycling performance and rate capability of the sulfur cathode. The CCSN-based sulfur cathode exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 824 mAh g −1 with only 0.082% average capacity loss per cycle at 1 C. At a high rate of 4 C, the cathode exhibits a high capacity retention of 84.8% after 300 cycles. Moreover, the CCSN-based sulfur cathode exhibits an excellent cycling performance at a high sulfur loading of 2.5 mg cm −2 , which indicates the excellent mechanical strength and binding performance of the CCSN binder for high-energy density Li–S batteries. This study demonstrates a viable approach for developing high-performance Li–S batteries for practical application.

We first developed a novel and efficient chemoenzymatic process to prepare (S)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3-propanediol, a vital HepDirect prodrug intermediate, from inexpensive and commercially available isonicotinic acid. Through this process, we provide a creative way to obtain the key chiral intermediate, β-hydroxyester, with ketoreductase (KRED) EA. After optimization of the process, we performed the reaction on a 100 g scale with a substrate concentration of up to 150 g/L, a yield of 93%, and an ee value of up to 99.9%. Additionally, we used a simple and effective NaBH4/MgCl2 reduction system to obtain (S)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3-propanediol with >99.9% ee and an 80% yield. This novel chemoenzymatic process has the potential to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly process suitable for industrial use.

Lithium sulfur (Li–S) batteries have been investigated as ideal candidates for future high-density energy storage systems with the advantages of abundant reserves, high energy density and competitive cost. The key issues are the severe shuttling of polysulfides and sluggish redox kinetics. Herein, we report a novel metal–organic framework-derived Co2P–ZnS/ZnS–C nanocomposite constructed from inner Co2P–ZnS and outer ZnS–C heterostructures. Both the experimental results and theoretical calculations demonstrated that these dual electrocatalytic heterostructures enabled strong affinity with polysulfides and facilitated the reaction kinetics. Meanwhile, the hollow carbon polyhedron provided fast electron/ion transfer channels and effectively buffered volume expansion during cycling. As anticipated, a high initial capacity of 1503 mA h g−1 was achieved at 0.2C with Co–Zn/Zn–C/S as a cathode, together with excellent stability after 500 cycles at 1C. Even a high reversible capacity of 540 mA h g−1 was achieved at 1C after 200 cycles under an elevated sulfur loading of 3.65 mg cm−2. This work presents a new strategy for designing dual electrocatalytic hosts for immobilization and conversion of polysulfides, which may offer more opportunities as cathodes in stable Li–S batteries with high energy density.

To develop high-performance microwave absorption materials with the features of lightweight, thin thickness, broad bandwidth, and strong absorption, an ultralight Ni3S2@N, S-codoped graphene aerogel with a density of 13.5 mg/cm3has been fabricated by the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to directly initiate the gelation of graphene oxide strategy. In such a strategy, dual-functional 1D Ni-MOF nanorods not only act as the gelation agent but also afford the doping elements (N and S) originated from the organic species and the precursor for metal sulfide. Due to the synergistic effects of good impedance matching and multiple losses, the optimal reflection loss (RL) of as-prepared Ni3S2@N, S-codoped graphene aerogel reaches −46.9 dB at 17.1 GHz with only 2.0 mm and ultralow filling content (1.75 wt%). The maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) reaches 6.3 GHz (11.7–18.0 GHz) at 2.38 mm, covering the whole Ku band. Moreover, the value of EAB with the RL less than −30 dB can be tuned to 12.2 GHz (5.8–18 GHz) at the absorber thickness ranging from 1.9 to 5.0 mm. This work provides insight for rational design and fabrication of multicomponent-containing graphene aerogels, showing the potential application in lightweight and high-performance microwave absorption.

The application of promising g-C 3 N 4 has been limited by poor photogenerated electron-hole separation and limited absorption for visible light. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a typical antibiotic drug that is used worldwide and hard to be disposed through conventional wastewater treatment methods. Herein, S-scheme Fe 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction was successfully prepared via a facile one-step sintering method and applied to photodegrade SMX under visible light irradiation. The integration of Fe 2 O 3 and g-C 3 N 4 shows superior charge separation and light absorption ability. As a result, the removal efficiency of 11 wt% Fe 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 reaches to 99.2% within 30 min, which is visibly higher than 59.5% of pure g-C 3 N 4 . ·O 2 − and ·OH are demonstrated to be the predominant active species for SMX photodegradation, and the possible degradation pathway is also proposed based on electronic band structure of Fe 2 O 3 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction. This study presents a facile construction of g-C 3 N 4 based S-scheme photocatalyst and offers an environmentally friendly approach to effectively remove organic pollutants using renewable solar energy.

Aqueous precursors provide an alluring approach for low-cost and environmentally friendly production of earth-abundant Cu 2 ZnSn(S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. The key is to find an appropriate molecular agent to prepare a stable solution and optimize the coordination structure to facilitate the subsequent crystallization process . Herein, we introduce thioglycolic acid (TGA), which possesses strong coordination (SH) and hydrophilic (COOH) groups, as the agent and use deprotonation to regulate the coordination competition within the aqueous solution. Ultimately, metal cations are adequately coordinated with thiolate anions , and carboxylate anions are released to become hydrated to form an ultrastable aqueous solution. These factors have contributed to achieving CZTSSe solar cells with an efficiency as high as 12.3% (a certified efficiency of 12.0%) and providing an extremely wide time window for precursor storage and usage. This work represents significant progress in the non-toxic solution fabrication of CZTSSe solar cells and holds great potential for the development of CZTSSe and other metal sulfide solar cells.

Antimony Selenide (Sb 2 Se 3 ) exhibits potential as a solar energy material owing to its optimal bandgap, lack of toxicity, and abundance of earth abundant elements. Currently, cadmium sulfide (CdS) serves as the predominant buffer layer for Sb 2 Se 3 solar cells. However, the use of CdS hinders environmentally friendly advancement due to the toxic properties of the element cadmium. Hence, the quest for non-toxic buffer layers poses a significant challenge to the further advancement of Sb 2 Se 3 solar cells. In prior research, tin oxide (SnO 2 ) has been explored as a buffer layer. Nonetheless, the efficiency of SnO 2 /Sb 2 Se 3 solar cells was hampered by the rough surface of SnO 2 films and the poor crystallinity of Sb 2 Se 3 films. In this investigation, we enhanced device efficiency by improving the uniformity of the SnO 2 surface and enhancing the crystallinity of Sb 2 Se 3 through spin-coating sulfur (S) onto the SnO 2 film. Detailed examinations were conducted on the structure, optical, and electrical properties of the respective SnO 2 and Sb 2 Se 3 thin films. Ultimately, an efficiency of 3.38% was achieved using the spin-coated S:SnO 2 film, marking an 85% enhancement compared to the baseline device.

CO2photoreduction technology offers significant potential for addressing energy and environmental challenges, though its practical application is hindered by insufficient photo-absorption and rapid carrier recombination. Herein, we constructed the WO3/In2S3S-scheme heterojunction through hydrothermal assembly of two-dimensional WO3nanosheets and scale-like In2S3nanoflakes. Systematic characterization via XRD, XPS, SEM, and TEM verified the successful preparation of hierarchical nanostructures with optimized interfacial contact in the WO3/In2S3composites. UV-Vis DRS analysis showed that the photo-absorption range of the catalyst was significantly widened. Photoelectrochemical investigations (EIS, TPR, PL, and LSV) revealed enhanced carrier separation efficiency and reduced recombination kinetics in the heterojunction system. The optimized WO3/In2S3(WI-60) catalyst had a CO evolution efficiency of 55.14 μmol·g−1under the UV-Vis light, representing a 3.9-fold enhancement over the pure In2S3(14.08 μmol·g−1). Mechanistic studies through the XPS and band-structure analysis confirmed the establishment of an S-scheme carrier’ transfer pathway, which simultaneously preserved strong redox potentials and promoted the separation process of carriers. This research provides a validated strategy for developing efficient S-scheme photocatalytic systems for solar fuel generation.
