Nanoscaling and alloying techniques for silicon-based materials are widely recognized as vital technological approaches to effectively address the challenges associated with volume expansion and poor conductivity in silicon anodes. Developing short process, cost-effective preparation methods and shape controllable silicon-based materials is expected to improve their cyclability. Herein, utilizing the superior electrical conductivity of copper metal and its stable alloy interaction with silicon, the present study introduced a simple synthetic process by incorporating nanoscale Cu 2 O into a SiO 2 dioxide matrix under a combination of hydrothermal reaction with Cu(NO 3 ) 2 as the copper source and further sintering treatment. Under the conditions of a Cu:Si molar ratio to 3:8 under 850 °C by 2.6 V of constant electrolsyis for 3 h, straight silicon nanowires with a cross-sectional distribution were obtained. The Cu 3 Si alloy particles were enriched around silicon nanowires. Experimental testing was conducted to evaluate the electrochemical storage capabilities of Cu 3 Si/Si nanowires, resulting in an initial specific capacity of 2630.7 mAh g -1 and an initial coulombic efficiency of 88.94%. After 100 charge-discharge cycles, the discharge specific capacity reached 1675.4 mAh g -1 , with a capacity retention rate of 66.20%. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of constructing a Cu 3 Si conductive network for solving the volume expansion and conductivity problems of Si and the distinctive Cu 3 Si/Si architecture offers an exemplary model for the design of silicon-based composite anodes for advanced lithium-ion batteries.

Single-phase high-entropy rare-earth zirconate (Dy 0.2 Nd 0.2 Sm 0.2 Eu 0.2 Yb 0.2 ) 2 Zr 2 O 7 with excellent high-temperature phase stability at 1600 °C was designed and synthesized. After being heated at 1600 °C for 1 ∼ 50 h, the average grain size of the sample increases only from 0.74 μm to 2.22 μm, indicating a high anti-sintering ability. The fracture toughness is 2.07 ± 0.03 MPa m 1/2 (25 °C), which is 50% higher than lanthanum zirconate. The local lattice distortions induced by the atomic interactions and atomic-size mismatch are considered to be responsible for the strong anti-sintering ability and improved fracture toughness. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity of (Dy 0.2 Nd 0.2 Sm 0.2 Eu 0.2 Yb 0.2 ) 2 Zr 2 O 7 are 10.59 × 10 -6 K -1 (25 ∼ 1500 °C) and 1.14 ± 0.09 W·m -1 ·K -1 (1500 °C), respectively. The outstanding combination of anti-sintering ability, mechanical behavior , and thermophysical properties of (Dy 0.2 Nd 0.2 Sm 0.2 Eu 0.2 Yb 0.2 ) 2 Zr 2 O 7 highlights its great potential for next-generation thermal barrier coating applications.

SrLi 2 Ti 6 O 14 (SLTO) coated with different amount of ZrO 2 was successfully prepared. The as-obtained composites are stacked by a series of particles with a pure phase structure and a good crystallinity. Furthermore, ZrO 2 coating not only enhances the structural stability of the materials but also facilitates the diffusion of lithium through the SEI film. As a result, the redox polarization was reduced, and the reversibility of the electrochemical reaction was enhanced. Particularly, SLTO-ZrO 2 -2 sample delivers a high initial lithiation capacity of 283.6 mA h g −1 , and the values maintain at 251.7, 228.0, 207.4, 175.3, and 147.7 mA h g −1 at the current densities of 0.13, 0.26, 0.54, 1.31, and 2.62 A g −1 , respectively. Our experiment also confirmed that SLTO materials coated with ZrO 2 are suitable for high power density applications, and the lithiation specific energy efficiency of SLTO-ZrO 2 -2 is 200% as high as that of pure SLTO at a power density of 1257 W kg −1 .

A metallically conductive TiB 2 is developed to construct multifunctional separator toward improved lithium-sulfur (Li–S) battery performance. Coupled with two-dimensional graphene, the obtained TiB 2 @G separator fulfills a synergistic combination of strong physical and chemical sulfur immobilization as well as a high-efficiency sulfur reutilization, thus establishing a robust barrier against the polysulfide shuttling and enabling a fast and durable sulfur electrochemistry . As a result, cells based on TiB 2 @G separator exhibit a high sulfur utilization with 1350 mA h g −1 capacity at 0.05C, superb rate capability up to 5.0C, and excellent cyclability with a high capacity retention over 85% after 300 cycles at 0.5C. Moreover, significantly mitigated self-discharge and considerably high areal capacity of 5.8 mA h cm −2 can be also achieved, indicating the great promise of this separator design for the development of high-performance Li–S batteries.

Luminescent metal halides have attracted increasing attention because of their tunable emission and superior photoelectric properties. However, it is still challenging to achieve near-infrared (NIR) emission from metal halides, which is important in applications such as food quality analysis and night vision. In this work, the broadband NIR emission is achieved by alloying Sn 2+ into zero-dimensional (0D) Cs 2 ZnBr 4 . The incorporating of Sn 2+ cations enables the originally weakly luminescent Cs 2 ZnBr 4 to exhibit an efficient broadband NIR emission. Upon photoexication, the optimized Sn 2+ alloyed Cs 2 ZnBr 4 (Cs 2 Zn 0.875 Sn 0.125 Br 4 ) exhibits a highly efficient broadband NIR emission peaked around 700 nm, with a large Stokes shift of 323 nm, a full width at maximum of 177 nm, and a high quantum efficiency of around 41%. Spectroscopic and theoretical calculations unveil that the efficient NIR emission originates from the self-trapping emission introduced by the Sn alloying. In addition to the high efficient broadband emission, the Sn 2+ alloyed Cs 2 ZnBr 4 also exhibits high thermal stability, retaining 78% of its initial intensity at 150 °C. The night vision application is demonstrated by using a light source fabricated by combining Sn 2+ alloyed Cs 2 ZnBr 4 phosphor with a 365 nm LED chip in the dark.

Highly efficient cyan-emitting phosphor materials are indispensable for closing the cyan gap in spectra of the traditional phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) to achieve high-quality full-spectrum white lighting. In this work, bright cyan-emitting Ca 3 Ga 4 O 9 (CGO):0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ phosphor is developed to bridge the cyan gap. Such a Bi 3+ ,Zn 2+ codoping enhances the cyan emission of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ by 4.1 times due to the influence of morphology and size of phosphor particles, charge compensation and lattice distortion. Interestingly, codoping La 3+ ions into the current system can achieve a photoluminescence tuning of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ from cyan to yellowish-green by crystallographic site engineering. Besides, Bi 3+ –Eu 3+ energy transfer is successfully realized in CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ , n Eu 3+ phosphors and the emission color tuning from cyan to orange is observed. The investigation of thermal quenching behaviors reveals that the incorporation of Zn 2+ and La 3+ improves the thermal stability of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ . Finally, CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ ,0.10Eu 3+ phosphor is employed to obtain a single-phased warm WLED device. A full-spectrum WLED device with remarkable color rendering index (Ra) of 97.4 and high luminous efficiency of 69.72 lm W −1 is generated by utilizing CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ phosphor. This result suggests the important effect of CGO:0.02Bi 3+ ,0.07Zn 2+ phosphor on closing the cyan gap, providing new insights of cyan-emitting phosphors applied in full-spectrum white lighting.

Spinel Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 doped with F was synthesized via the solid-state reaction of anatase TiO 2 , Li 2 CO 3 , and NH 4 F. The structural characterization and electrochemical performance evaluation of the prepared materials were carried out utilizing X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, galvanostatic charge-discharge, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests. The lattice parameters of all samples were calculated using an internal standard and Rietveld refinement method. The results indicate that the F was successfully doped into the lattice structure of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 , and this process did not influence the crystal structure and superficial morphology. Moreover, the best-performing material, Li 4 Ti 5 O 11.9 F 0.1 delivers superior rate capacities of 165, 162.1, 160.0, 142.3, 125.1, and 99.2 mAh g −1 , at 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, 3 C, 5 C, and 10 C, respectively, which is higher than those of Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (150.0, 135.0, 123.5, 93.7, 76.4, and 56.8 mAh g −1 at the same C-rates), and the cycling retention is 82.7% after 150 cycles at 5 C. Meanwhile, the charge-transfer resistance (R ct ) of Li 4 Ti 5 O 11.9 F 0.1 (56.4 Ω) is lower than that of pure Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (80.6 Ω), and the lithium-ion diffusion coefficients (D Li + ) of Li 4 Ti 5 O 11.9 F 0.1 (2.505 × 10 −10 cm 2 s −1 ) is higher than that of pure Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (1.694 × 10 −10 cm 2 s −1 ).

The Li-rich cathode material for long cycle performance and long-term storage performance is a challenge for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to the rapid capacity degradation over cycling and the formation of residual lithium on the surface during long-term storage. Herein, an elevated performance of Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2 materials via CeO 2 inlay is reported, which was prepared from Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2 by sol-gel inlay with CeO 2 . It was proved by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that cerium oxide cladding not only covered the surface of the material but also diffused into the interior of the material change crystal structure. Cerium oxide on the cladding not only reduces the material's contact with water and carbon dioxide in the air, but also prevents the material from being corroded by electrolyte during electrochemical test. The position of the transition metal atom is replaced Ce atoms, which increases the unit cell volume and the stability of the Li-rich material during the cycling. The results show that the storage property and the electrochemical cycling property of the material have been improved obviously. The CeO 2 inlaid lithium rich material discharged 204.6 mAh/g for the first time at the current of 1C, and 164.4 mAh/g after 150 charge and discharge cycles with corresponding capacity retention rate of 80.35%, compared with the retention rate of 57.26% for pristine Li-rich material capacity. After being stored in humid air for 40 days, the CeO 2 inlaid lithium-rich material showed better electrochemical performance than the pristine one. It is powerfully demonstrated that the CeO 2 inlay strategy here holds huge promise for surface modification of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

The heat resistance enhancement of fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) can make it more suitable for cutting-edge applications and extreme conditions. This paper focused on the antioxidant properties of boron particles for FSR and the corresponding mechanism. The thermal stability of FSR and FSR/boron composites was characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), isothermal degradation and thermal-oxidative ageing. The results showed that boron significantly improved the thermal stability of FSR. In particular, the FSR/boron (100/10) composite retained 95% of its weight after isothermal degradation at 350 °C for 12 h, while the FSR lost 55% of its weight within the initial 1 h. The antioxidant mechanism of boron was further investigated by chemiluminescence (CL), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and vulcanization curves. It was shown that boron has powerful radical scavenging activity (RSA) and inhibited the oxidation scission of the side groups. Moreover, boron revealed no RSA towards the tert-butoxy radical, ensuring the good vulcanization of the FSR/boron composites.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with high specific capacity are expected to be a new generation of energy storage devices. However, the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide makes it difficult to commercialize stable Li-S batteries. In this work, we designed a gelatin-polyethylenimine composite (GPC) as functional binder for Li-S batteries to improve the stability of electrode during discharge-charge process. GPC binder combines the dispersion and adhesion ability of gelatin, which keeps cathode homogeneous and stable during electrochemical reaction , and adsorption capability of PEI for polysulfide , which suppresses the “shuttling effect”. The result shows that GPC used as a binder remarkably enhanced cyclic performance of Li-S battery with good capacity retention of about 100% at current density of 1C (sulfur loading 1.5 mg cm −2 ) after 100 cycles. We believe that GPC would be a promising binder for highly stable Li-S batteries.

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ) has been considered an advanced auxiliary support for Pt nanoparticle anchorage due to its excellent activity and stability. Nevertheless, its non-conductivity property still impedes its applications in electrocatalytic fields. Thus, the MoO 3 and carbon composite of a nanostructure is synthesized through sintering process and served as an efficient co-support for Pt-based anode catalyst in this paper. The electrochemical measurements demonstrate that Pt/MoO 3 -C catalyst shows higher catalytic activity and stability than the as-prepared Pt/C. Significantly, it exhibits 1.95 times higher activity and 2.36 times better durability for methanol oxidation when compared with commercial Pt/C. The remarkably enhanced performance of this novel Pt/MoO 3 -C catalyst for methanol electrooxidation can be ascribed to the abundant Pt nucleation active sites, uniformly dispersed Pt nanoparticles and the strong metal-support interaction between Pt and MoO 3 -C. These outstanding properties suggest Pt/MoO 3 -C a promising catalyst for practical application of fuel cell.

In this work, the effect of Cd and Sn atoms partly substitution for Zn on among crystal growth, thermal stability, mechanical, and electrical transport property in β-Zn 4 Sb 3 is reported. In a series of samples prepared from the atomic ratios of Zn:Sb:Cd:Sn = 4.4:3: x :3 ( x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8). Carrier concentration of all samples varies from 4.52 × 10 19 to 6.42 × 10 19 cm −3 as carrier mobility changes from 58.27 to 67.93 cm 2 V −1 s −1 at room temperature. As a result, electrical transport properties of the samples are optimized by Cd Sn co-doped. The experimental density of all the samples varies from 6.26 × 10 3 to 6.34 × 10 3 kg m −3 consistent with the theoretical value. The weight loss and melting point of the sample are determined to discuss thermal stability in the heating process in air, indicating that the single crystals β-Zn 4 Sb 3 possess an excellent thermal stability and it is practical importance in the TE application at high temperature. Consequently, the maximal power factor of 1.70 × 10 −3 W m −1 K −2 is achieved at 540 K for the sample with initial Cd content x = 0.2, which is enhanced by 40% compared with the single-doping system in β-Zn 4 Sb 3 .
