The formation of highly graphitic phenolic resin chars (GPFCs) during catalytic carbonization at relatively low reaction temperature (1200–1600 °C) using novel Ni-Zn-B alloy catalyst with small amount of addition (5–15%) was systematically studied. Only two kinds of graphites (turbostratic graphite and ordered graphite) can be found in GPFCs after catalytic carbonization with Ni-Zn-B and their proportions were changed with reaction conditions. When Ni-Zn-B was involved at 1200–1600 °C, the phenolic resin char was fully transformed to be graphite, and ordered graphite content increased to 28.42% at 1400 °C, which was also almost twice of ordered graphite content in the char catalyzed by pure Ni. But the order graphite content would decrease due to sintering at higher reaction temperature. The addition of Zn and B can promote nickel-based alloy catalytic action by reducing melt point and accelerating graphitization respectively. It was also found that ordered graphite content could be used as a key evaluation parameter to directly reflect the quality of GPFCs based on detailed characteristics analysis. The model between three reaction conditions (reaction temperature, retention time, catalyst content) and ordered graphite content was built with artificial neural network (ANN), and the prediction accuracy of ANN was high up to 91.48%.

The lack of suitable cathodes is one of the key reasons that impede the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Because of the inherently unsuitable structure and inferior physicochemical properties, the low-valent V2O3 as Zn2+ host could not be effectively discharged. Herein, we demonstrate that V2O3 (theoretical capacity up to 715 mAh g–1) can be utilized as a high-performance cathode material by an in situ anodic oxidation strategy. Through simultaneously regulating the concentration of the electrolyte and the morphology of the V2O3 sample, the ultraefficient anodic oxidation process of the V2O3 cathode was achieved within the first charging, and the mechanism was also schematically investigated. As expected, the V2O3 cathode with a hierarchical microcuboid structure achieved a nearly two-electron transfer process, enabling a high discharging capacity of 625 mAh g–1 at 0.1 A g–1 (corresponding to a high energy density of 406 Wh kg–1) and cycling stability (100% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles). This work not only sheds light on the phase transition process of low-valent V2O3 but also exploits a method toward design of advanced cathode materials.

The supercapacitive performance of high-rate capacity and long-term cycling stability is still a big challenge for electroactive materials. Herein, Ni and Zn co-substituted Co carbonate hydroxide (NiZn-CoCH) flowers array is self-assembled on nickel foams (NFs) using l -ascorbic acid as a nanostructure inducer. The NiZn-CoCH flowers, consisting of silk-like nanosheets, are deservedly large electrode-electrolyte contact area and suitable ion-diffusion channel. The nanostructure and Ni and Zn co-substitution significantly improve energy storage performance. This electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 2020.8 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 with high-rate capacity (remain 80.2% at 10 A g −1 ) and 5000-cycle stability (almost unchanged after 1500 cycles at 10 A g −1 ). Additionally, an assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device of NiZn-CoCH//activated carbon (AC) achieves a high energy density of 29.6 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 375 W kg −1 and only a 0.5% decrease of the capacitance after 2500 cycles. This facile and novel preparation method, using l -ascorbic acid, may be promising for industrial production of electroactive materials for the high-performance energy storage and conversion devices.

Different metal ions were used to modify Hβ zeolite adsorbents by an impregnation method to remove organic chlorides from the model naphtha. The dechlorination performance of different ion-modified adsorbents was evaluated using a microcoulometer. The effects of calcination time and temperature, metal loading, adsorption time and temperature, and dosage of adsorbent were investigated by batch adsorption experiments. The modified adsorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), NH3-temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy of pyridine adsorption (Py-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). After modification, the modified Zn/Hβ zeolite exhibited the best dechlorination performance among the other metal-loaded zeolites. The removal percentage of organic chloride of the Zn/Hβ adsorbent prepared at optimum preparation and adsorption conditions can reach 72.54%, compared with 34.07% of Hβ zeolite. The Zn/Hβ adsorbent also maintained good dechlorination performance after regeneration by calcination for five times. The characterization results revealed that the concentration of the B acid sites in the zeolite decreased with the introduction of the metals, whereas that of the L acid sites increased. Zn/Hβ zeolite had the lowest B/L ratio but the best dechlorination performance, which meant that the type and amount of acidic sites present in zeolites played a significant role in dechlorination performance and L acid was beneficial for chloride compound removal.

Artificial leaves conduct photo(electro)chemical reactions for chemical and fuel production directly driven by sunlight/photovoltaic cells. Therefore, only in the presence of real-time sunlight can artificial leaves generate chemicals and fuels, limiting the prolonged production and flexible application of artificial leaves. In this work, by simply coupling a photovoltaic cell with a solid-state Zn–CO2 electrochemical cell as a new conceptual artificial leaf, continuous chemical production not only with sunlight but also in the dark was realized. In this conceptual artificial leaf, photo-generated electricity from the photovoltaic cell was pre-stored in the electrochemical cell during charge and CO2 reduction occurred in discharge. With pure CO2 supply, the conceptual artificial leaf achieved a solar-to-CO efficiency up to 15.2%, which surpassed that of the record artificial leaves and was among the highest efficiencies for artificial photosynthesis devices. This work provides possibilities for developing more universal-applied artificial leaves producing chemicals and fuels with ever-changing sunlight.

Magnetic Zn/Al layered double hydroxides (M Zn/Al LDH) were prepared by co-precipitation method and then calcined at 370 °C for 2 h to obtain magnetic Zn/Al calcined layered double hydroxides (M Zn/Al CLDH) used for adsorption of humic acid (HA) from aqueous solution. The morphology and structure of M Zn/Al CLDH were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), specific surface area (SSA), thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The results showed that the implant of a certain amount of magnetic substrates on Zn/Al LDH didn't damage the layered structure of Zn/Al LDH. After calcination, M Zn/Al CLDH exhibited the characteristics of zinc aluminum oxides, whose specific surface area increased to 80.00m 2 /g from 49.15 m 2 /g of M Zn/Al LDH. The magnetism of M Zn/Al LDH originating from Fe 3 O 4 and γ-Fe 2 O 3 kept well under calcination at 370 °C. The influence of solution pH and competitive ions on the HA removal was investigated. M Zn/Al CLDH exhibited high HA removal efficiency which was over 97% from pH 4 to pH 8 for 30 min at M Zn/Al CLDH dosage of 0.2 g/L and HA initial concentration of 20 mg/L. The kinetic, adsorption isotherm and thermodynamic of the adsorption of HA by M Zn/Al CLDH were studied. The results indicated that the adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic analysis suggested that the adsorption of humic acid on M Zn/Al CLDH was a spontaneous and endothermic process . The adsorption mechanism is associated with electrostatic interaction and the intercalation of some functional groups of HA during layered structure of M Zn/Al LDH recovery in water due to the memory effect . This study revealed that M Zn/Al CLDH was an effective adsorbent for HA removal in water treatment .

The development of bifunctional activity and long durability of ORR/OER catalyst is vital for realizing the practical application of Zn–air batteries (ZAB). Herein, 3D-structured bifunctional catalysts , CoFe nanoalloy decorated carbon nanotubes (CNT) anchoring with 2D MXene (Fe/Co-CNT@MXene-T), were prepared and fabricated as the cathode for both aqueous and flexible ZAB. Taking advantages of active sites of CoFe nanoparticles , robust sheath and fast charge transfer provided by CNT and MXene, our optimal catalyst Fe/Co-CNT@MXene-8 exhibited remarkable electroactivities of ORR and OER comparable with the benchmark Platinum carbon (Pt/C) and Ruthenium dioxide (RuO 2 ), respectively. The as-assembled aqueous ZAB with Fe/Co-CNT@MXene-8 as cathode exhibited a high specific capacity of 759 mA h g −1 at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , and a stable voltage platform in the quick discharge–charge test under a 375h long-lasting operation, superior to those assembled with benchmark commercial catalyst and other reported catalysts. Furthermore, the as-assembled flexible ZAB with Fe/Co-CNT@MXene-8 as cathode also presented excellent durability cycling and showed promising perspectives as future power sources for wearable application. Such high performance was also verified by X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. This work provides a novel view to design highly effective and long-lasting rechargeable ZABs.

High entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted the attention of researchers due to their high theoretical specific capacity and structural stability. However, the effect of elements in HEOs on material properties is unknown. In this work, HEOs (FeNiCrMnZn) 3 O 4 and (FeNiCrMnMg) 3 O 4 were successfully synthesized and used as anode materials for lithium ion batteries . The effects of Zn and Mg on the properties of HEOs were studied from the aspects of crystal structure, micro morphology, and surface valence. Results show that Zn enhances the lithium storage performance of HEOs theoretically, which is verified in the later electrochemical performance tests. (FeNiCrMnZn) 3 O 4 is better than (FeNiCrMnMg) 3 O 4 in all aspects of rate properties, cycle performance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy . Therefore, the introduction of electrochemically active metals, such as Zn, can improve the performance of HEOs, thereby providing ideas for the subsequent design and application of HEOs.

Zinc-ion batteries are promising power sources, but their practical application is impeded by the Zn dendrite growth and side reactions at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Here, we report that such issues can be effectively addressed by a self-healable hydrogel electrolyte. The electrolyte is comprised of carboxyl-modified poly(vinyl alcohol) cross-linked by COO–Fe bonding in the presence of Zn(NO3)2 and MnSO4. A quasi-solid-state Zn–MnO2 battery using the electrolyte delivers a specific capacity up to 177 mAh g–1 after 1000 cycles with a retention rate of 83%, which is much better than its equivalent using an aqueous electrolyte. The improvement is attributed to efficient suppression of the dendrite growth and side reactions at the electrode/electrolyte by the hydrogel electrolyte. More importantly, the battery autonomously recovery its energy-storage functions even after multiple physical damages, showing excellent robustness and reliability. The present investigation provides an effective strategy to address the energy-storage performance and reliability of a light-metal battery system.

The development of highly efficient Pt-based alloy nanocatalysts is important but remains challenging for fuel cells commercialization. Here, a new class of zigzag-like platinum-zinc (Pt-Zn) alloy nanowires (NWs) with rough surface and controllable composition is reported. The merits of anisotropic one-dimensional nanostructure, stable high-index facets and coordinatively unsaturated Pt sites endow the composition-optimal Pt 94 Zn 6 NWs with a mass activity of 7.2 and 6.2 times higher than that of commercial Pt black catalysts toward methanol/ethanol oxidation, respectively. Alloying-induced d -band electron modulation and lattice strain effects weaken the adsorption strength of poisoning species, which originally enhances the catalytic activity of Pt-Zn NWs. This study provides a new perspective of Pt-Zn electrocatalysts with intrinsic mechanism for enhanced catalytic performance.

Previous reports from our team revealed the significant potential advantage of Mn–Zn ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), whereas anisotropic NPs reportedly increased the blood circulation time of nanocarriers. Thus, anisotropic Mn–Zn ferrite displayed a huge potential in cancer synchronous diagnosis and treatment, that is, enhanced MRI observation was performed simultaneously when drug-targeted delivery therapy was applied to the tumor. Here, we developed three shaped Mn–Zn ferrite (Mn0.63Zn0.37Fe2O4) MNPs used as cancer theranostic nanoagents and compared the effect of the three shaped MNPs on cancer theranostics. Compared to the monodisperse sphere MNPs (S-MNPs-PPR) and clustering MNPs (C-MNPs-PPR), worm-like Mn–Zn ferrite MNPs (W-MNPs-PPR) achieved better results in T2-weighted MRI and achieved more sustained drug release than S-MNPs-PPR and more complete drug release than C-MNPs-PPR in vitro. Additionally, polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating and RGD modification encouraged the three shaped MNPs to evade the recruitment of macrophages more easily and to target the integrin-enriched endothelial cells instead. Meanwhile, W-MNPs-PPR coupled with Paclitaxel (PTX) exhibited more delivery of PTX in the integrin-enriched cells than the other two shaped MNPs, and the content of PTX was far more than that of the wild-type Taxol control group. What is more, in vivo results demonstrated that PTX-coated W-MNPs-PPR not only gained good dual-mode imaging in the tumor (MRI and fluorescence images) but also achieved longer blood circulation time and more PTX-targeted delivery to the tumor, as well as more efficiency in tumor cell killing, which make the simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of tumors to be conducted. Therefore, our works further revealed the importance of the NP shape on its functionality and ultimately provided an alternative and efficient worm-like theranostic nanoagent for tumor theranostics.

Tuning the coordination environment between metal centers and organic ligands is a promising way to design of the precursors of electrocatalysts for water splitting or other renewable energy options. In this work, a novel coordinated polymer was prepared feasibly in polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) aqueous solution using aminotrimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP, L 1 ) and 2-methylimidazole (MeMI, L 2 ) as ligands with the ratio of 2:5, Co 2+ and Zn 2+ as metal centers. Based on the concept of acid-base neutralization reaction, the proton-transfer induced “deprotonation and protonation” for L 1 and L 2 , respectively. Thus, the coordination was dominated by the deprotonated L 1 . Owing to also partial of protonated L 2 adsorbed as “counter ions”, carbonization of the obtained precursor at 800 °C under N 2 atmosphere endows the pyrolysis product with nitrogen-doped carbon supported metal pyrophosphate (M 2 P 2 O 7 @NC). Thus, the resulting M 2 P 2 O 7 @NC exhibits the enhanced and durable ORR and HER performance. For ORR in 0.1 M KOH, an enhanced onset potential (0.925 V vs. RHE), half wave potential (0.793 V vs. RHE) and diffusion limiting current (6.132 mA cm −2 ) can be obtained comparable to those of Pt/C. For HER in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , it only needs an over potential of 180 mV to realize a current density of 10 mA cm −2 .
