Exploring renewable and green carbon materials with superior electrochemical performance is vital but challenging for promoting the practical application of supercapacitors . Herein, a novel Salvinia adnata based porous carbon decorated with MnO (SAC-MnO) composite was facilely fabricated from hyperaccumulator cultured in Mn ion-rich solution through hyperaccumulation and subsequent carbonization strategy. The prepared SAC-MnO composites displays hierarchical micro-mesoporous architecture with ultrahigh specific surface area (2396 m 2 g −1 ), which facilitates ion transportation and energy storage. Additionally, manganese oxides anchored on the carbon matrix could induce the generation of pesudocapacitance. The synergistic effect of double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance by porous carbon and manganese oxides enable the resultant electrode materials realize excellent electrochemical properties . As a result, the SAC-MnO electrode achieves an excellent specific capacitance of 436.8 F g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 in the three-electrode system. Meanwhile, the symmetric supercapacitor assembled by SAC-MnO displays an energy density of 9.573 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 694.4 W kg −1 and keeps a capacity retention over 94.7 % after 1000 cycles. This research provides a facile, sustainable and eco-friendly method to synthesize porous carbon decorated with transition metal oxides for high-efficiency energy storage devices.

Understanding the role of oxygen vacancies (OVs) in endowing catalytic activity is important for the design of efficient catalysts for advanced oxidation processes. In this study, we prepared MnO catalysts with different amounts of OVs under an atmosphere of H 2 (MnO-H) and N 2 (MnO-N) and investigated their acetaminophen (ACE) degradation efficiency via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. MnO-H exhibited the best degradation performance because of its numerous OVs, compared with that of MnO-N and the commercial MnO. Data analysis revealed that ACE degradation proceeded via electron transfer. Density functional theory calculations confirmed that compared with the other catalysts, MnO-H/PMS with more OVs had higher catalytic activity, higher adsorption energy, lower work function, and higher electron transformation. The MnO-H/PMS system was stable at pH 3.0–9.0 and showed good recyclability. We believe that our findings will provide deeper insights into the role of OVs and encourage the use of less toxic metal oxides as catalysts in the selective degradation of organic pollutants in water bodies.

Iron (Fe)-based catalysts are widely used for taming nitrogen oxides (NO x ) containing flue gas , but the regeneration and long-term reusability remains a concern. The reusability can be acquired by external additives, and resultantly can not only increase the cost but can also add to process complexity as well as secondary pollutants. Herein, a self-sustainable material is designed to regenerate the catalyst for long-term reusability without adding to process complexity. The catalyst is based on reduced graphene-oxide impregnated by Fe 2 O 3 -MnO (rGO@Fe 2 O 3 -MnO; G-F-M) for spontaneous intra electron (e - )-transfer from Mn to Fe. The developed catalyst; G-M-F exhibited 93.7% NO x reduction, which suggests its high catalytic activity . The morphological and structure characterizations confirmed the Fe/Mn loading, contributing to e - -transfer between Mn and Fe due to its conductivity. The synthesized G-F-M showed higher NO x reduction about 2.5 folds, than rGO@Fe 2 O 3 (G-FeO) and rGO@MnO x (G-MnO x ). The performance of G-M-F without and with an electrochemical system was also compared, and the difference was only 5%, which is an evidence of the spontaneous e - transfer between the Mn and Fe-NO x complex. The designed catalyst can be used for a long time without external assistance, and its efficiency was not affected significantly (<3.7%) in the presence of high oxygen contents (8%). The as-prepared G-M-F catalyst has great potential for executing a dual role NOx removal and self-regeneration of catalyst (SRC), promoting a sustainable remediation approach for large-scale applications.

The integration of freshwater and electricity cogeneration through photothermal effect is regarded as a new and promising strategy for high-efficiency solar energy utilization. However, the central issue is the design of low-cost, flexible photothermal materials to efficiently utilize solar energy. Herein, flexible MnO/C nanoparticle-based solar evaporators are constructed to realize simultaneously interfacial solar evaporation and thermoelectricity generation. The MnO/C nanoparticle is facilely fabricated by pyrolysis of Mn-MOF, which is synthesized from discarded poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles in one-pot solvothermal method. By altering pyrolysis temperature of Mn-MOF from 400 °C to 700 °C, the morphology of MnO/C nanoparticle is readily tailored from cube to sphere, octahedron and polyhedron. Owing to the fast water transport, strong sunlight absorptivity, high solar-to-heat conversion efficiency, and low evaporation enthalpy, the hybrid solar evaporator presents the high evaporation rate of 2.38 kg m −2 h −1 and solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency of 98.4% under 1 Sun irradiation, surpassing many advanced photothermal materials. More importantly, integrated with a thermoelectric module, the bifunctional solar evaporator recovers low-grade heat from water evaporation to perform thermoelectric conversion, achieving the maximum output voltage of 330 mV under 3 Sun irradiation. This work highlights the potential of flexible and durable solar evaporators for freshwater and power cogeneration, not merely contributing to achieving carbon neutrality and upcycling of waste plastics, but also opening opportunities for giant electricity supply from sustainable solar energy.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are becoming increasingly popular energy storage technology compared with conventional lithium-ion and other rechargeable batteries. However, the poor structural stability and low conductivity remain a significant challenge in the development of the cathode material. This renders AZIBs with limitation of commercial secondary batteries. Herein, cathode optimization is demonstrated through precise control of the coupling of MnO with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). 3D ternary MnO/rGO/MWCNTs (MPGC) nanostructures are synthesized by combining MnO nanoparticles with rGO and MWCNTs using a scalable hydrothermal and solid thermal reduction method. The MPGC cathode delivers a high specific capacity of 267.4 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 and improved stability with retention rate of 96.2% after 200 cycles at 0.5 A g −1 and 94.7% after 550 cycles at 1.2 A g −1 . This simple synthesis method has great potential in practical application of AZIBs as next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) are potential candidates for anode materials of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity (∼1000 mA h/g) and enhanced safety from suppressing the formation of lithium dendrites. However, the poor electron conductivity and the large volume expansion during lithiation/delithiation processes are still the main hurdles for the practical usage of TMOs as anode materials. In this work, the CoSnO3@NC@MnO@NC hierarchical nanobox (CNMN) is then proposed and fabricated to solve those issues. The as-prepared nanobox contains hollow cubic CoSnO3 as a core and dual N-doped carbon-“sandwiched” MnO particles as a shell. As anode materials of LIBs, the hollow and carbon interlayer structures effectively accommodate the volume expansion while dual active TMOs of CoSnO3 and MnO efficiently increase the specific capacity. Notably, the dual-layer structure of N-doped carbons plays a critical functional role in the incorporated composites, where the inner layer serves as a reaction substrate and a spatial barrier and the outer layer offers electron conductivity, enabling more effective involvement of active anode materials in lithium storage, as well as maintaining their high activity during lithium cycling. Subsequently, the as-prepared CNMN exhibits a high specific capacity of 1195 mA h/g after the 200th cycle at 0.1C and an excellent stable reversible capacity of about 876 mA h/g after the 300th cycle at 0.5C with only 0.07 mA h/g fade per cycle after 300 cycles. Even after a 250 times fast charging/discharging cycle both at 5C, it still retains a reversible capacity of 422.6 mA h/g. We ascribe the enhanced lithium storage performances to the novel hierarchical architectures achieved from the rational design.

Graphical In this study, a straightforward coprecipitation method was employed to synthesize the bimetallic catalyst MnO@Co-CN, which demonstrates high efficiency in catalyzing the direct oxidative esterification of HMF to produce FDMC with a yield reaching 90.3%. The synergistic interactions between the dual metals during the reaction significantly enhance the catalytic performance for optimal oxidative esterification. As a versatile platform molecule derived from biomass, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has the potential to be transformed into a variety of chemicals. Of these, furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate (FDMC) stands out as an excellent precursor for the synthesis of poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate) (PEF), a polymer with broad applications in the production of various polymeric materials. However, a majority of studies have focused on the use of noble metal catalysts to achieve the direct oxidative esterification of HMF for the production of FDMC. Given the scarcity and high cost of noble metal catalysts, there is a pressing need to develop non-noble metal catalysts to efficiently facilitate the direct oxidative esterification of HMF. Accordingly, a bimetallic catalyst, MnO@Co-CN, was prepared in this paper by a simple coprecipitation method, and a 90.3% FDMC yield was obtained under optimal conditions. The findings revealed that in the oxidative esterification of HMF, MnO x predominantly adsorbs the reactants onto the catalyst surface, whereas CoO x is primarily responsible for the oxidation. The synergistic interaction between Mn and Co enhances the catalytic performance, leading to the superior oxidative esterification outcomes. This work offers a cost-effective, scalable method for FDMC synthesis, highlighting potential for industrial applications.

Fabricating efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting through recycling ternary (LiNi 1-x-y Mn x Co y O 2 ) cathodes of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is promising and sustainable, however, the relative reasonable phase composition and microstructure still need be explored. Herein, a composite material composed of multi-heterogeneous Ni 4 N/Co 5.47 N/MnO nanoparticles coupled with porous carbon fibers was fabricated through a direct carbothermal reduction process of waste LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.2 Co 0.3 O 2 (NCM523) cathodes material dispersed into nitrogenous spinning precursor. Interestingly, this optimized material obtained at 800 °C (NCM523@CF-800) possesses abundant Ni 4 N/Co 5.47 N/MnO multi-heterostructure, endowing it with multifaceted advantages as electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Specifically, the unique structural features of multi-heterostructure promote the transfer of electrons/charges on the interface, and highly enhance the reaction kinetics. Additionally, during OER process, because of the protection of carbon matrix, Ni 4 N/Co 5.47 N/MnO has the mere surface reconstruction and forms the real active oxygen-containing species especial NiOOH. And the maintained core of Ni 4 N/Co 5.47 N/MnO provides high conductivity for the formed active oxygen-containing species. As a result, the optimized NCM523@CF-800 employed as OER electrocatalyst in water electrolysis only require 271 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH. Meanwhile, an excellent stability of 140 h can be achieved under high current density of about 160 mA cm −2 . This work may pave the way for the rapid and efficient recycling and utilization of spent battery electrode materials.

The carbon nanofiber composite containing Cu and MnO was fabricated by electrospinning method. The precursor solution was prepared by mixing Cupric Acetate Monohydrate, Manganous acetate, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and polyacrylonitrile in a certain proportion. Then the material of Cu- MnO/CNF with higher capacitance was prepared by electrostatic spinning at 15 kV and high temperature heat treatment. The Cu-MnO/CNF was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). It’s clear from the results that, carbon nanofiber had overlaped by metal oxides and metals, at the same time, the Cu(OAc) 2 was converted to Cu and the MnACAC was turned into MnO after thermal treatment. Through a series of electrochemical tests, it showed the Cu-MnO/CNF has excellent electrochemical performance and indicated its potential advantages for supercapacitors. The results indicated the specific capacitance of the Cu-MnO/CNF displayed a larger specific capacitance of 581 F/g than the electrical capacity of Cu-CuO/CNF and MnO-Mn(OH) 2 /CNF

Fabrication of porous micro/nanostructures with high electronic conductivity is very efficient for enhancing the electrochemical performance of transition metal oxide-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Here, we successfully propose Zn2SnO4 composites functionalized using biomass-derived carbon and metal–organic framework derived MnO/C. The fabricated LC@Zn2SnO4@MnO/C composite exhibits superior electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 1185.6 mA h g−1 at 200 mA g−1 and maintains 552 mA h g−1 even at 2 A g−1 for 150 cycles. The significantly improved performance suggests that the unique structure constructed by MOF-derived oxide decoration and dual-carbon coating can efficiently enhance the material integrity and facilitate charge transfer upon repeated (de)lithiation processes, demonstrating a general strategy for the preparation of mixed-metal-oxide nanostructures for batteries with improved electrochemical performance.

The vigorous development of efficient cathode-side oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is one of the keys to the practical application of fuel cells and Zn-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, a facile and green photochemical method is developed to synthesize pure-phase Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles , which are uniformly anchored on nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO), followed by simple one-step annealing to highly catalytical active and stable MnO/N-rGO. The resultant MnO/N-rGO exhibits exciting ORR performance in alkaline media. Particularly, both GDE (gas diffusion electrode) half-cell and ZABs assembled from MnO/N-rGO have excellent overall performance and outstanding long-term durability, obviously better than Pt/C-based GDE half-cell and Pt/C + RuO 2 -based ZABs, respectively. It is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between MnO nanoparticles and N-rGO support, which significantly increases the active sites and facilitates 4-electron transfer. This research paves a way for the green photochemical synthesis of transition metal oxide ORR catalysts at room temperature.

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is a hazardous and malodorous pollutant with severe environmental and health impacts. A promising approach for H 2 S removal involves coupling adsorption with low-temperature catalytic oxidation using alkaline metal oxide-loaded carbon-based materials. However, the effectiveness of these materials is often limited by pore blockage caused by metal oxides and desulfurization byproducts. N-doped carbon aerogels offer a solution to this issue due to their large specific surface area and well-developed pore structure. In this study, a novel MgO-MnO-loaded N-doped carbon aerogel (MgO-MnO/NC) was synthesized by one-step high-temperature pyrolysis of cellulose-based aerogel precursor for highly efficient low-temperature H 2 S desulfurization. The effects of pyrolysis temperature and metal oxide loading on H 2 S removal efficiency was systematically investigated. The optimized MgO-MnO/NC-600–0.3 (where 600 represents the pyrolysis temperature and 0.3 denotes the mass ratio of metal salts to cellulose) exhibited outstanding H 2 S removal performance, achieving an ultrahigh desulfurization capacity of 1696 mg/g. The desulfurization conditions, such as O 2 content and relative humidity, were found to play a crucial role in the H 2 S removal process. In situ DRIFTS and XPS analyses revealed a synergistic mechanism of reactive adsorption and catalytic oxidation on the MgO-MnO/NC surface. The desulfurization products were identified as sulfur, sulfate and metal sulfide (MgS and MnS). This study not only proposes a feasible strategy for fabricating biomass-derived aerogel carbon, but also offers valuable insights into the catalytic oxidation of H 2 S for enhancing the desulfurization performance of N-doped carbons.
