The oxygen evolution reaction (OER)is crucial for the development of energy storage technologies such as water splitting for hydrogen production and metal-air batteries; therefore, developing efficient electrocatalysts is key to advancing OER. NiFe₂O₄, as a typical spinel-structured transition metal oxide, features nickel ions Ni 2+ preferentially occupying tetrahedral sites and iron ions Fe 3+ occupying octahedral sites within its crystal lattice. This unique dual-metal site distribution significantly optimizes the adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates through Ni Fe electronic synergy, overcoming the inherent activity limitations of single-metal oxides. Simultaneously, its high electrical conductivity and robust stability in alkaline environments make it an ideal alternative to precious metal catalysts. However, its intrinsic activity remains constrained by the sluggish kinetics of the conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM) and insufficient exposure of surface active sites. To address this, this study focuses on a breakthrough modification of nickel ferrite NiFe₂O₄: employing a phosphorus doping strategy, the reaction mechanism is successfully transformed from the AEM to the lattice oxygen oxidation mechanism (LOM) during the heating process, with optimization of heating time and temperature parameters. The optimized phosphorus-doped nickel ferrite NFO − P achieves a low overpotential of 229 mV and a Tafel slope of 75.1 mV dec −1 at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 —its performance significantly surpasses that of pristine NiFe₂O₄ and approaches the level of precious metal IrO₂. This work concurrently reveals that phosphorus doping overcomes the activity limitations of the traditional AEM pathway by weakening metal‑oxygen bonds and activating lattice oxygen, thereby providing a reference for “AEM → LOM” mechanism regulation in transition metal oxide catalysts.

This study presents the fabrication of ultrathin, mechanically strong poly( p -phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) nanofiber films and their integration into composite materials. A novel sol-gel-film method was established for producing PBO nanofiber films, with an orthogonal experimental design employed to optimize the effects of PBO concentration and dissolution time on the mechanical properties. The optimal conditions (PBO concentration of 2.8 g/L and dissolution time of 40 h) yielded a tensile strength of 683 MPa and a Young's modulus of 12.05 GPa. Furthermore, PBO nanocomposite films incorporating silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were developed. The PBO/Ag nanocomposite film with 10% Ag NPs content exhibited notable mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of 239 MPa and a Young's modulus of 5.91 GPa, and an exceptional electrical conductivity of 401.6 S/cm. The nanocomposite films also demonstrated enhanced hydrophobicity, UV resistance, antibacterial properties, and flame retardancy. Pressure sensors based on the PBO/Ag nanocomposite films showed high sensitivity and stability, whereas electric heaters exhibited remarkable heat resistance, rapid response times, and elevated heating temperatures. Additionally, a polyaniline (PANI) coating doped with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was synthesized on the PBO/Ag nanocomposite films, resulting in flexible PBO/Ag@PANI/CNT electrodes. These electrodes, with 30% CNTs, achieved an impressive areal capacitance of 6885.13 mF/cm 2 and maintained 82.67% of their initial capacitance after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. These findings highlight the significant potential of PBO nanofiber-based nanocomposites in flexible electronics and advanced energy storage systems.

The advancement of PMS (peroxymonosulfate)-activating platforms with high activity and wide adaptability carries substantial significance in wastewater remediation. Employing dual-phase modification via phosphorization and H₂-Ar etching, we fabricate multi-component active centers (sulfides/phosphides) to achieve enhanced activity and extended degradation capability toward diverse pollutants. To evaluate practical applicability, key process parameters, including catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, and TC (tetracycline) concentration, were optimized. Concurrently, the effects of common interfering ions, pH variations, and different water matrices (river water and seawater) on TC degradation were investigated. Results demonstrate that the catalytic system achieves 100 % TC removal at 20 mg L −1 TC and 94.5 % removal at 30 mg L −1 TC. The system maintained high degradation efficiency with minimal impact from interfering ions and diverse water sources, demonstrating robust environmental adaptability. Additionally, it exhibits efficient degradation performance across a wide range of contaminant species. ESR (electron spin resonance spectroscopy) analysis coupled with quenching experiments verified that ·OH, SO₄· − , and 1 O₂ mediate organic pollutant degradation, wherein singlet oxygen ( 1 O₂) plays a dominant role.

Lead sulfide (PbS) colloidal quantum dot (CQD) photodetectors are promising devices for low-cost, high-performance, and large-area infrared imaging. For integration with readout integrated circuits (ROICs), top illumination is urgently required to ensure simultaneous light absorption and signal acquisition. However, the traditional best-performing p-on-n PbS CQD photodetectors rely on opaque top metal contacts, thus limiting the development of top-illuminated imagers. Herein, we addressed this issue by introducing a bifunctional ZnTe layer. The presence of the ZnTe layer─while allowing efficient hole collection─serves as a protective layer for the CQD layer during subsequent transparent electrode deposition. The resultant PbS CQD photodetectors based on the ZnTe layer show a specific detectivity of 2.09 × 1012 Jones at ≈1300 nm, representing approximately a 5-fold improvement over the control device (4.30 × 1011 Jones). This performance is comparable to that of the best PbS CQD photodetectors reported at similar wavelengths. The advantages of this architecture are further demonstrated by building a PbS CQD imager with a pixel array of 256 × 256, verifying the compatibility of photodetectors with ROICs.

Zintl-phase thermoelectrics with CaAl 2 Si 2 -type structures exhibit desirable “phonon-glass electron-crystal” behavior. However, the development of environmentally friendly p-type counterparts remains challenging. While n-type Mg 3 Sb 2 -based compounds have achieved high figures of merit ( zT > 2.0), their integration with non-Zintl systems is hindered by thermal and chemical mismatches. Moreover, many existing p-type Zintl compounds rely on toxic (Cd, Pb) or scarce (Yb, Ge) elements, restricting their scalability and sustainability. Here, we report a scalable, rare-earth- and toxicity-free p-type Zintl compound, Ca 0.5 Mg 1.297 Ag 0.003 Zn 1.2 Sb 2 , developed via targeted Mg-site substitution. First-principles calculations reveal that Ca substitution at Mg1 sites induces beneficial electronic structure modifications, including bandgap widening, valence band sharpening, and an indirect-to-direct bandgap transition, collectively enhancing carrier mobility (50 cm 2 ·V -1 ·s -1 ) and strengthening carrier-phonon scattering at elevated temperature. Simultaneously, trace Ag doping at Mg2 sites precisely tunes the carrier concentration by nearly one order of magnitude, achieving improved electrical conductivity while maintaining ultralow thermal conductivity. As a result, the optimized compound achieves a peak zT of 0.81 at 773 K and an average zT of 0.50 over 300–773 K. These results demonstrate a chemically stable, sustainable, and high-performing Zintl platform, offering a promising strategy for advancing eco-friendly thermoelectric technologies.

The mixed phosphate Na₄Fe₃(PO₄)₂(P₂O₇) (NFPP) via synergistic coordination of mixed [PO₄]/[P₂O₇] anion groups achieves a flat voltage plateau at 3.2 V (vs. Na + /Na) and a theoretical specific capacity of 129 mAh g −1 , but its practical application is still limited by its inherent low electronic conductivity. Through structural integration of polyanion-type cathode materials, this study innovatively designed and constructed hierarchical Na₄Fe₃(PO₄)₂(P₂O₇)@C mesoporous microspheres (NFPP@CMMS). The NFPP nanocrystals uniformly embedded in a three-dimensional interconnected meso porous carbon matrix (pore size distribution: 2–5 nm). Such hierarchical meso/micro-nano architectures provided expansive ion-exchange interfaces, accelerating Na + de/intercalation kinetics while enhancing electronic conductivity and mitigating structural collapse during cycling. Consequently, the NFPP@CMMS delivers exceptional reversible discharge capacity (121 mAh g −1 at 0.1C), outstanding rate capability (72 mAh g −1 at 50C), and superior cycling stability (90.70 % capacity retention after 3500 cycles at 5C). This triple-synergy strategy—combining nano-confinement effects, interconnected mesoporous channels, and carbon-encapsulated network—provides a novel pathway for developing practical sodium-ion battery cathodes.

Doping modification is a useful way to promote the catalytic activity of carbon nitride (CN). However, most doped CNs have lower structural symmetry and several edge defects, which hinder the transfer of charge carriers. This work reports a P-doped crystalline carbon nitride (crystalline PCN) for the efficient photoreduction of uranyl. The thermal polymerization and salt post-treatment convert the amorphous PCN into crystalline PCN. Compared to the pristine CN, the crystalline PCN has over 1620 % higher activity for uranyl (U(VI)) reduction, reaching a 97.8 % reduction rate in 60 min. Furthermore, the 2-PCN shows excellent stability and a U(VI) removal efficiency >85.7 % in the pH range of 5–8. Characterization analysis reveal that both the P doping and crystalline modulation do not obviously change their morphology, light absorption property and energy band structure, but markedly promote the delocalization of electrons around the doped P atoms, thereby severely inhibit direct electron-hole recombination. Thus, the more efficient separation of charge carriers generates more reactive specials to participate in the photocatalytic uranyl reduction reaction. This study demonstrates a dual-modification strategy for the rational synthesis of highly active metal-free CN-based photocatalysts for uranyl reduction.

Biomass has been widely used due to its environmental friendliness, sustainability, and low toxicity. In this study, aminophosphorylated cellulose (PNC), a biomass flame retardant containing phosphorus and nitrogen, was synthesized by esterification from cellulose and introduced into polyurethane to prepare flame-retardant rigid polyurethane foam. The combustion properties of the PU and PU/PNC composites were studied using the limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94, and cone calorimeter (CCT) methods. The thermal degradation behavior of the PU and PU/PNC composites was analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermogravimetric infrared spectroscopy (TG-IR). The char layer after combustion was characterized using SEM, Raman, and XPS. The experimental results showed that the introduction of PNC significantly improved the flame-retardant effect and safety of PU/PNC composites. Adding 15 wt% PNC to PU resulted in a vertical burning grade of V-0 and a limiting oxygen index of 23.5%. Compared to the pure sample, the residual char content of PU/PNC15 in a nitrogen atmosphere increased by 181%, and the total heat release (THR) decreased by 56.3%. A Raman analysis of the char layer after CCT combustion revealed that the ID/IG ratio of PU/PNC15 decreased from 4.11 to 3.61, indicating that the flame retardant could increase the stability of the char layer. The TG-IR results showed that PNC diluted the concentration of O 2 and combustible gases by releasing inert gases such as CO 2 . These findings suggest that the developed PU/PNC composites have significant potential for real-world applications, particularly in industries requiring enhanced fire safety, such as construction, transportation, and electronics. The use of PNC provides an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flame retardants. This research paves the way for the development of safer, more sustainable, and environmentally friendly fire-resistant materials for a wide range of applications.

In this paper, a pulse electrodeposition technique is employed to introduce superhard nanoscale titanium nitride (TiN) particles into the Ni–W–P coating. Moreover, the work extensively examined the impact of varying TiN nanoparticle concentrations on the Ni–W–P coating’s performance. The findings reveal that the introduction of TiN effectively fills the crevices and other imperfections present on the pristine plating layer’s surface, improving the aggregation of grains. The incorporation of TiN nanoparticles, owing to their “labyrinthine effect” and grain refinement capability, notably enhanced the mechanical performance and corrosion resistance of the pure coating. Optimal results are achieved, showcasing superior mechanical attributes and corrosion defense, when the TiN concentration in the bath reaches 4 g/L. Vickers microhardness testing unveils that the Ni–W–P/TiN composite coating, at a TiN loading of 4 g/L, observes its microhardness escalating from 496.6 HV for the pure Ni–W–P coating to 847.6 HV. In a reciprocating friction assessment, the mean friction coefficient diminishes, plummeting from 0.663 for Ni–W–P to 0.325. Regarding corrosion tolerance, the Ni–W–P/TiN (4 g/L) composite coating demonstrates the greatest capacitive arc radius, alongside a corrosion current density diminishing from 26.0 μA/cm2 (Ni–W–P coating) to 11.93 μA/cm2 compared to the unaugmented Ni–W–P coating. Additionally, the self-corrosion potential shifts positively, going upward from −0.536 V for the Ni–W–P coating to −0.323 V. It is further established that the Ni–W–P/TiN composite at 4 g/L surpasses the Ni–W–P coating in corrosion resistance capabilities.

Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have garnered much attention in recent years. Despite the remarkable advancements in PSCs utilizing traditional metal electrodes, challenges such as stability concerns and elevated costs have necessitated the exploration of innovative electrode designs to facilitate industrial commercialization. Herein, a physically and chemically stable molybdenum (Mo) electrode is developed to fundamentally tackle the instability factors introduced by electrodes. The combined spatially resolved element analyses and theoretical study demonstrate the high diffusion barrier of Mo ions within the device. Structural and morphology characterization also reveals the negligible plastic deformation and halide-metal reaction during aging when Mo is in contact with perovskite (PVSK). The electrode/underlayer junction is further stabilized by a thin seed layer of titanium (Ti) to improve Mo film's uniformity and adhesion. Based on a corresponding p–i–n PSCs (ITO/PTAA/PVSK/C 60 /SnO 2 /ITO/Ti/Mo), the champion sample could deliver an efficiency of 22.25%, which is among the highest value for PSCs based on Mo electrodes. Meanwhile, the device shows negligible performance decay after 2000 h operation, and retains 91% of the initial value after 1300 h at 50–60 °C. In summary, the multilayer Mo electrode opens an effective avenue to all-round stable electrode design in high-performance PSCs.

Cells have greatly inspired advancements in chemical processes, including leveraging the idea of cascade catalysis to drive thermodynamically unfavorable reactions and mimicking the compartmentalized architecture to design novel nanostructures. Here, a single-particle cascade catalysis promoted gas sensing platform is inspired to be designed (denoted as CoSnO 3 @mCeO 2 ) by positionally assembling n-type mesoporous CeO 2 catalytic shell on p-type CoSnO 3 gas sensitive core. Uniform CoSn(OH) 6 @mCe(OH) x core–shell particles with tailored mesostructures, tunable large mesopores, and adjustable shell thicknesses are first constructed. After thermal treatment, CoSnO 3 @mCeO 2 particles are obtained, which serve as cascade catalysis enhanced sensitive layer for fabricating gas sensors with independent catalytic and sensing control. As a proof-of-concept, the CoSnO 3 @mCeO 2 gas sensors exhibit nearly three times higher acetone sensitivity ( R g /R a = 26.81–50 ppm) than individual CoSnO 3 sensors with an ultralow limit of detection of 5.22 ppb. The enhanced sensitivity is achieved through a tandem catalytic reforming-oxidation sensing procedure, which begins with the primary catalytic reforming of acetone to acetic acid in the mCeO 2 shell, followed by the secondary sensing reaction of acetic acid in the CoSnO 3 core. The design concept of cascade catalysis promotes gas sensor can serve as a paradigm for developing single-particle functional nanodevices for various applications.
