Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has emerged as a superior technique for detecting small molecules, owing to the strategic utilization of inorganic nanomaterial matrices. Despite the impressive capabilities of various novel matrices, the underlying interaction mechanisms between inorganic matrices and analytes remain largely unexplored. In this study, we synthesized Co 3 O 4 nanocubes, Co(OH) 2 nanosheets, Co 3 O 4 /Co(OH) 2 heterojunctions, and Co 3 O 4 +Co(OH) 2 composites via a facile one-pot method. Amino acids were selected as model analytes for performance evaluation. Notably, the Co 3 O 4 /Co(OH) 2 heterojunctions significantly enhanced signal intensity and lowered detection limits to the parts-per-billion (ppb) level, outperforming Co 3 O 4 nanocubes, Co(OH) 2 nanosheets, and Co 3 O 4 +Co(OH) 2 composites. The detection results for environmental pollutants, especially in solutions containing real samples, highlight the outstanding performance of the heterojunction material as a matrix. Further characterization indicates that the formation of the heterojunction enhances nanoparticle dispersion and promotes the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Consequently, more photogenerated charge carriers can be transferred to the target analytes, facilitating their charging ability and ultimately enhancing signal intensity in MALDI-TOF MS. These results clearly demonstrate that the enhanced photocatalytic performance directly drives the improvement of MALDI-TOF MS performance, excluding interference from other factors. Thus, this study successfully combines photocatalytic mechanisms with MALDI-TOF MS mechanisms, providing new insights into the enhancement of MALDI-TOF MS performance. Additionally, it offers a new detection method for environmental pollutants.

Precise acquisition of the blood glucose level is one of the most critical indicators for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Compared with the high cost and instability of enzyme-based glucose sensors, the development of low-cost, high-sensitivity, and fast-response nonenzymatic glucose sensors is imperative. Herein, bulk Co3O4-embedded N-doped laser-induced graphene (Co3O4@NLIG) powder is in situ fabricated through a high-efficiency and simple laser-scribing technique and successfully made into a screen-printing paste for screen-printed electrodes (SPEs), followed by use as an enzyme-free glucose sensor. The electrocatalytic results show that the as-prepared Co3O4@NLIG/SPE glucose sensor has a high sensitivity of 143 μA mM–1 cm–2, a broad linear detection range of 1 μM to 11 mM, an ultralow detection limit of 0.48 μM, and a rapid response time of <1 s. The as-prepared sensor also has prominent reproducibility, stability, and immunity to interference. Furthermore, the glucose-sensing mechanism of the sensor is profoundly explored. Such an outstanding electrocatalytic performance endows the Co3O4@NLIG/SPE nonenzymatic glucose sensor with potential applications in blood glucose monitoring and diagnosis.

Developing high-porosity, flexible non-noble metal oxygen electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involving proton coupled electron transfer reaction is of essential importance for improving the efficiency of electrocatalysts. Herein, we propose a novel multilevel structure of Co/Co 3 O 4 -Ni/NiO doped macroporous interconnected hollow carbon nanofibers (Co/Co 3 O 4 -Ni/NiO@MHCNFs) as a self-standing and binder-free cathode catalyst for Li-O 2 batteries. We employed poly(styrene- co -acrylonitrile) (SAN) as a self-sacrificial template to fabricate hollow nanofibers by coaxial electrospinning and pyrolysis. Furthermore, macroporous interconnected hollow carbon nanofibers were achieved by fine-tuning the particle size of ZIF-8 and electrospinning parameters. Remarkably, as a proof-of-concept application, the Co/Co 3 O 4 -Ni/NiO decorated self-standing macroporous interconnected hollow carbon nanofibers (MHCNFs) electrodes exhibited significantly electrochemical performance, including a long-term cyclability (163 cycles) and maximum capacity (16623 mAh/g). This work rationally designs a scalable preparation of Co/Co 3 O 4 -Ni/NiO doped macroporous interconnected hollow carbon nanofibers, which provides a new idea for the design of self-supporting and binder-free oxygen electrocatalysts.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn numerous attention as precursors to fabricate porous materials owing to their inherent highly controllable composition and tunable porosities. Nevertheless, the construction of an efficient and low cost anode material derived from zeolitic imidazole framework-67 (ZIF-67) to pursue enhance rate capability and specific capacity remains attractive and challenging. Herein, the fabrication of the Co 3 O 4 -based hierarchical carbon fiber composites with the ZIF-67/Co 2+ ions derivatives embedded (Co 3 O 4 @CNF) by a facile electrospinning technique and a two-step annealing is reported. When evaluate as a binder-free anode for SIBs , the resultant electrode delivers a superior sodium-ion storage capacity of 380 mAh g −1 after 150 cycles at 100 mA g −1 , a remarkable rate performance and an outstanding long-cycling stability of 129 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 3.2 A g −1 , which is better than other MOFs-derived free-standing anode materials for SIBs reported previously. The 1D carbon fibers can serve as a buffer framework to ensure the structural stability . In addition, the conductive matrix formed by the interleaving of carbon fibers can facilitate electronic transport along their 1D geometry. Furthermore, the dispersed ZIF-67/Co 2+ ions derivatives in fibers provide the composite with high surface exposure to the electrolyte, which is conducive to chemical reactions.

There is considerable scientific interest in the newly available family of MXenes material. An analog as graphene, this two-dimensional (2D) layered material with the structure of transition metal carbides or nitrides exhibits superior electronic conductivity , large interlayer spacing for highly efficient lithium ions diffusion pathways and environmental benignity, making it useful as energy storage material . However, the inferior capability to store lithium ions impedes its wide application in lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, a facile strategy for preparing Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles incorporated with MXene nanosheets on Ni foams has been developed. Small-size Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles are uniformly distributed within the MXene nanosheets leading to the highly efficient lithium ions and electrons transmission, as well as the prevention for the restacking of MXene nanosheets and huge volume change of the Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles . Under the cooperative effect of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles and MXene nanosheets , the Co 3 O 4 /MXene composite electrode with the mass ratio of Co 3 O 4 /MXene = 1:1 exhibits an excellent reversible capacity of 1005 mAh g −1 after 300 cycles at the current density of 1 C, which significantly exceeds that of pristine Co 3 O 4 electrode. Though the current density climbs to 5 C, the composite electrode remains a stable capacity of 307 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles. It is demonstrated that Co 3 O 4 /MXene composite electrode has the potential as an anode for the high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

The rate capability of an anode material is limited by slow Li-ion diffusion dynamics within the bulk, which leads to slow charging rates and low power densities in Li-ion batteries. To address this issue, we fabricated novel 3D hierarchical porous oxide arrays composed of mesoporous Co 3 O 4 nanosheets grown on a thin layer of reduced graphene oxide “skin” as a stable buffering and conducting layer. The porous oxide-graphene hybrid anode shows the outstanding rate capability (∼1400 mAh g −1 at 2.0 A g −1 ) among all oxide anode materials, high cycling stability and high retention of 84.5% over 200 cycles. Besides, the anode material in sodium-ion batteries also delivers a high capacity of 757 mAh g −1 and a high retention of 89.7% over 400 cycles. The high electrochemical performances are mainly due to mesoporous Co 3 O 4 nanosheets provide abundant accessible sites for electrolyte diffusion and intercalation of Li + /Na + ions into the active phases while the graphene coating dramatically boosts the overall Li/Na storage performances of the Co 3 O 4 nanosheets by enhancing the binding to and electrical contact with the current collector. Kinetic analysis reveals that the rational integration of battery-type and capacitor-type electrochemical energy storage in the same anode material (the distinct 3D hierarchical porous structure) enables to offer excellent rate capability. This novel graphene-metal oxide nanopore array could be applied in high-performance Li-ion and Na-ion batteries.

The development of high-performance electrocatalysts is a highly efficient strategy to optimize the sluggish kinetic property of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we synthesize a kind of nickel foam (NF)-supported electrocatalyst composed of a one-dimensional Co3O4 nanowire as the core and a two-dimensional NiFe-LDH nanosheet as the shell (denoted as NiFe-60/Co3O4@NF). Fluorine is introduced into the precursor Co(OH)F of Co3O4, which results in improved thermal stability and significantly increased regularly distributed oxygen vacancies, while the electrochemically deposited NiFe-LDH nanosheets possess a crystalline/amorphous hybrid structure. As a result, the hetero-interface mainly constituting Ni species from NiFe-LDH and Co3O4 from Co(OH)F contributes to the interaction between Co and Fe species and facilitates the electron transfer. Simultaneously, the interaction between oxygen vacancies in Co3O4 and coordinatively unsaturated Fe species in the amorphous area in NiFe-LDH is also determined, finally completing the electron backtracking. Benefiting from these factors, only low overpotentials of 221 and 257 mV are required to deliver the current densities of 100 and 500 mA cm–2, respectively, with a quite small Tafel slope of 34.6 mV dec–1 during OER for the well-designed NiFe-60/Co3O4@NF electrocatalyst.

All-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) are promising candidates for the development of next-generation batteries with high energy density and improved safety. Nevertheless, the sluggish reaction kinetics of the S and Li2S cathode and the low active material content hinder the further development of ASSLSBs. Herein, a Co3O4@nitrogen-doped carbon (Co3O4@NC) nanocomposite is used as an electronically conductive additive to promote the conversion kinetics of S and Li2S in the solid sulfur cathode. With a high sulfur content of 50 wt% and sulfur loading of 4 mg cm−2, ASSLSBs with the S–Co3O4@NC–Li7P3S11 (S–CoNC–LPS) composite cathode exhibit a high specific capacity of 1313 mA h g−1 at 0.2 mA cm−2, as well as a reversible capacity of 1167 mA h g−1 after 100 charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, the S–CoNC–LPS cathode also demonstrates a high areal capacity of 16.12 mA h cm−2, corresponding to a reversible capacity of 1343 mA h g−1, and good cycling stability even with an ultra-high sulfur loading of 12 mg cm−2. Such a superior electrochemical performance can be attributed to the fact that Co3O4@NC lowers the reaction energy barrier and promotes the interconversion of S and Li2S.

Co 3 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 /cellulose membrane was synthesized by coating rod-like MOF-derived Fe 3 O 4 with Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles and blending with cellulose solution, further applied in the visible light-driven photo-Fenton system for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) degradation. In the H 2 O 2 /membrane/visible light system, the Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis and scavenger experiment results suggested that PFOA degradation was a co-dependent mechanism via photogenerated electrons, photogenerated holes ( h + ) and various radical species, rather than a single active constituent. Co 3 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 /cellulose membrane showed outstanding degradation performance, stability and recyclability under optimal conditions. Compared with pure Fe 3 O 4 or Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles , the Co 3 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 /cellulose membrane can degrade around 94.5% PFOA within 180 min in reaction system, and the leached Fe and Co was only 0.05 and 0.49 ppm, respectively. Moreover, Co 3 O 4 @Fe 3 O 4 /cellulose was reused by rinsing with ultra-pure water and the degradation capacity was still 80.4% after five cycles. The degradation pathway of PFOA also was proposed based on UHPLC-MS analysis.

The design of efficient photocatalyst for selective hydrogenation of α,β -unsaturated aldehydes to unsaturated alcohols is changeling. In this study, oxygen vacancy enriched MgAl-layered double hydroxide (MgAl-LDH) supported Co 3 O 4 nanoparticle photocatalysts are developed taking the advantage of the semi-memory effect of CoMgAl-LDH. Excellent photocatalytic performance was achieved with a 99 % cinnamaldehyde conversion and 98 % cinnamyl alcohol selectivity at 100 °C under visible light irradiation. The electron enriched Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles facilitated the activation of isopropanol to provide active H species under light irradiation. In situ DRIFTS and DFT calculation results suggest the oxygen vacancies of MgAl-LDH were beneficial to the terminal O adsorption of –C O group in cinnamaldehyde and ensure the high selectivity of cinnamyl alcohol. This study demonstrated a novel synthesis strategy of Co 3 O 4 nano-photocatalyst for the efficient selective hydrogenation under visible light irradiation.

Xylene is a volatile organic compound which is harmful to the human health and requires precise detection. The detection of xylene by an oxide semiconductor gas sensor is an important research direction. In this work, Co3O4 decorated flower-like SnO2 nanorods (SnO2/Co3O4 NRs) were synthesized by a simple and effective two-step method. The SnO2/Co3O4 NRs show high xylene response (Rg/Ra = 47.8 for 100 ppm) and selectivity at the operating temperature of 280 °C, and exhibit high stability in continuous testing. The resulting SnO2/Co3O4 NRs nanocomposites show superior sensing performance towards xylene in comparison with pure SnO2 nanorods. The remarkable enhancement in the gas-sensing properties of SnO2/Co3O4 NRs are attributed to larger specific surface area and the formation of p–n heterojunction between Co3O4 and SnO2. These results demonstrate that particular nanostructures and synergistic effect of SnO2 and Co3O4 enable gas sensors to selectively detect xylene.

In this paper, a highly catalytic and nanosized Ag / Co 3 O 4 composite for rhodamine B ( RhB ) degradation was fabricated by using the co-precipitation method at room temperature. The Ag / Co 3 O 4 structure and catalytic properties were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) gas-sorption measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the Co 3 O 4 nanosheets prepared by hydrothermal synthesis mainly exposed (2 2 0) and (1 1 1) facets, which played an important role in determining its catalytic oxidation performance. The Co 3 O 4 nanosheets doped with Ag nanoparticles by a simple silver-mirror reaction exhibited a stable and well-dispersed property in dye solution. Compared to the Ag and Co 3 O 4 nanostructure, the Ag nanoparticles with bigger diameter (10 nm) on Co 3 O 4 surface also readily produced surface-active oxygen species and exhibited a higher catalytic activity for the degradation of RhB solution (5 mg ⋅ L -1 ) under the visible light. The kinetic constant K of Ag / Co 3 O 4 catalyst for RhB degradation reaction was evaluated to 0.02724 min -1 , which is relatively higher than those reported in the literatures.
