High-performance earth-abundant electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are highly desirable. In this report, we successfully synthesized amorphous Fe−P shell electrodeposited on Co(OH)F nanowire arrays supported on titanium mesh (Fe−P@Co(OH)F/TM) as an efficient catalyst for OER. Such catalyst exhibits excellent OER activity with a low overpotential of 267 mV to reach the geometrical current density of 10 mA cm −2 in 1.0 M KOH. In addition, it has good electrochemical durability to maintain its activity for at least 20 h.

Open-framework crystal structured vanadates have been extensively investigated as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the inherent challenges of poor electronic conductivity and structural instability compromise the rate capability and overall cycle life. Herein, we first successfully synthesized octahedral MIL-101(V) and prepared the Zn 3 (OH) 2 V 2 O 7 ·2H 2 O@C (ZVOH@C) composite by in-situ electrochemical conversion of MIL-101(V)-derived crystalline V 2 O 3 and carbon composite (V 2 O 3 @C). The ZVOH@C composite of open-framework crystal structured Zn 3 (OH) 2 V 2 O 7 ·2H 2 O and conductive carbon skeleton not only possesses more active sites, more stable crystal structure and higher electrical conductivity , but also provides faster Zn 2+ diffusion kinetics. As expected, the ZVOH@C composite electrode exhibits excellent capacity of 506.3 mAh/g at a current density of 1.0 A/g, exceptional rate performance (375.7 mAh/g at 20.0 A/g), and impressive long-term cycling stability, maintaining 314.5 mAh/g over 5000 cycles at 20.0 A/g. This study demonstrates a promising method for designing new cathode materials through in-situ electrochemical synthesis for ZIBs .

Lamellar V 5 O 12 ·6H 2 O nanobelts coupled with inert Zn(OH) 2 ·0.5H 2 O are in situ fabricated via a facile hydrothermal strategy. Herein, the inert Zn(OH) 2 ·0.5H 2 O phase acts as a buffer matrix to strengthen the structural stability of V 5 O 12 ·6H 2 O host material, relieving the severe volume variation. Therefore, benefiting from the large interplanar spacing of active V 5 O 12 ·6H 2 O and volume buffering effect of inert Zn(OH) 2 ·0.5H 2 O, V 5 O 12 ·6H 2 O/Zn(OH) 2 ·0.5H 2 O hybrid (denoted as Z-V 5 O 12 ·6H 2 O) sustainably endures the repetitive Zn 2+ /Na + insertion/extraction and boosts the electrochemical properties. As cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries, the Z-V 5 O 12 ·6H 2 O hybrid shows a high discharge capacity of 328 mAh g −1 at 50 mA g −1 and keeps 146 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 after 1000 cycles. For nonaqueous sodium-ion batteries, the hybrid also furnishes a high initial discharge capacity of 241 mAh g −1 at a current density of 50 mA g −1 and maintains 97 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 after 100 cycles.

Using Al(OH) 3 and Mg(OH) 2 as raw materials, MgAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) modified from birch leaves were prepared by the ball-milling–hydrothermal method, denoted as LDHs/BL, and used for the treatment of wastewater containing Cu(II). The morphology, crystal shape, and specific surface area of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and BET-specific surface area analyzer. The results showed that the prepared LDHs/BL composites had good crystal shape, large specific surface area, and suitable pore structure. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models were used to analyze the adsorption. The results showed that the adsorption conforms to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model. Under the same adsorption conditions, the adsorption capacity of the LDHs/BL complex was higher than that of LDH, the removal efficiency of the former was 92%, and that of the latter was 68%. The adsorption mechanism includes metal precipitation and isomorphic replacement. More importantly, this study provides a green method to prepare LDHs. LDHs/BL composites are expected to be used as a new kind of environmental adsorbent for wastewater treatment. This work provides a new idea for the utilization of agricultural and forestry wastes. Nanocomposites of LDHs/BL were fabricated. The LDHs/BL nanocomposites exhibit enhanced sorption capacities for Cu(II). The nanocomposites are potential sorbents for wastewater treatment. The synthesis of LDHs/BL nanocomposites provides a win–win strategy.

The synthesis of atomic-scale metal catalysts is a promising but very challenging project. In this work, we successfully fabricated a hybrid catalyst of Ptc/Ni(OH) 2 with atomic-scale Pt clusters uniformly decorated on porous Ni(OH) 2 nanowires (NWs) via a facile room-temperature synthesis strategy. The as-obtained Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 catalyst exhibits highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance under basic conditions. In 0.1 mol L −1 KOH, the Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 has an onset overpotential of ~0 mV vs. RHE, and a significantly low overpotential of 32 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm −2 , lower than that of the commercial 20% Pt/C (58 mV). The mass current density data illustrated that the Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 reached a high current density of 6.34 Amg
−1 Pt
at an overpotential of 50 mV, which was approximately 28 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C (0.223 A mg

) at the same overpotential, proving the high-efficiency electrocatalytic activity of the as-obtained Pt c /Ni(OH) 2 for HER under alkaline conditions.

The design of electrocatalysts with excellent activity and stability for overall water splitting is highly desirable, and remains a challenge. Constructing heterojunctions onto the same substrate is beneficial for the integration of a water-splitting reaction. Herein, self-supported IrNi/Ni(OH)2@PPy and IrNi/Ni(OH)2@FeOOH are fabricated by coupling polypyrrole (PPy) and iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) on IrNi/Ni(OH)2 nanosheets array, respectively. Benefiting from the nanosheet structure, composition, and heterogeneous interface, the as-constructed IrNi/Ni(OH)2@PPy and IrNi/Ni(OH)2@FeOOH catalysts can efficiently drive the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, respectively. Moreover, the electrolyzer consisting of IrNi/Ni(OH)2@PPy and IrNi/Ni(OH)2@FeOOH for water splitting requires only a low cell voltage of 1.49 V to deliver 10 mA cm−2. This study provides a useful strategy for constructing efficient electrocatalysts by synergistic composition modulation and interface engineering.

A series of highly-hydrophobic MIL-53-Al (MIL = Materials of Institut Lavoisier) frameworks synthesized via decoration of the Al-OH groups by alkyl phosphonic acid were developed as adsorbents for removing acetone from humid gas streams. The newly prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N 2 adsorption-desorption and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Their adsorption behaviors toward acetone vapor under dry and wet conditions were studied subsequently. Results showed that alkyl phosphonic acid was successfully grafted into MIL-53-Al skeleton through coordinating interaction with Al 3+ generating MIL-53-Al@C x ( x = 12, 14, 18). The MIL-53-Al@C x exhibited similar crystal structure and thermal stability to parent MIL-53-Al. Furthermore, the modified materials showed significantly enhanced hydrophobicity . The water vapor uptake of MIL-53-Al@C 14 decreased by 72.55% at 75% relative humidity (RH). Dynamic adsorption experiments demonstrated that water vapor had almost no effect on the acetone adsorption performance of MIL-53-Al@C 14 . Under the condition of 90% RH, the acetone adsorption capacity of MIL-53-Al@C 14 was 102.98% higher than that of MIL-53-Al. Notably, MIL-53-Al@C 14 presented excellent adsorption reversibility and regeneration performance in 10 adsorption-desorption cycles. Taken together, the strategy of metal-OH group modification is an attractive way to improve the acetone adsorption performance over metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) under humid conditions. Besides, MIL-53-Al@C 14 would be deemed as a promising candidate for capturing acetone in high moisture environment.

With the development of industrialization, the discharge of oily wastewater has been increasing significantly. In this study, a novel bio-based oil–water separation membrane was developed using bio-based Polyamide 56 (PA56) as the matrix material, which was modified by incorporating hydroxylated boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS-OH) through a blending approach. The PA56/BNNS-OH composite nanofiber membrane was fabricated via electrospinning. The impact of adding BNNS-OH on the morphological structure, selective permeability, and oil–water separation performance of the composite nanofiber membrane was explored. The results showed that, the introduction of BNNS-OH increased the surface roughness of the nanofiber membrane, forming a micro-nano nodular structure. This not only significantly enhanced the membrane’s hydrophilicity but also endowed it with outstanding underwater superoleophobicity. The M−3 membrane, prepared with 5 wt% BNNS-OH relative to PA56 content, exhibited superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic properties. It demonstrated efficient separation performance for various types of surfactant-stabilized emulsions (SSEs), with a separation efficiency of 99.84% for n-hexane-based SSE, approaching complete separation. Moreover, the membrane exhibited excellent cycling and thermal stability, chemical resistance, and self-cleaning properties under complex conditions. This study provides new insights and methods for developing novel bio-based and environmentally friendly oil–water separation membranes, which hold significant potential for application in oily wastewater treatment.

Ammonia is a hydrogen-dense, carbon-neutral energy carrier, but sluggish oxidation kinetics and catalyst toxicity limit its large-scale use in low-temperature alkaline direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs). Inspired by the “Grotthuss hopping” theory, we designed a hydroxyl group-modified membrane electrode catalyst system through the modification of interface key groups. This system can interact with adsorbed OH– (hereafter, OH–ad), thus being similar to a “relay” that allows OH–ad to jump from one active site to another and then react with ammonia intermediates, injecting more impetus into the kinetic process of the orderly release of OH–ad. The results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and operando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (operando-FTIR) further demonstrated and confirmed that this process follows the Gerischer–Mauerer (G–M) mechanism. Consequently, the mass activity of the best membrane electrode catalyst in this series, PtNiNC@OH0.05 (373 A g–1Pt), has been significantly enhanced in alkaline media, which is 3.2 times higher than that of the commercial 20% Pt/C (116 A g–1Pt) catalyst. Even more surprisingly, the DAFC of the membrane electrode catalyst as an anode achieves a peak power density of 17.4 mW cm–2 at 60 °C, which is 9.89-fold higher than that of 20% Pt/C (1.76 mW cm–2). The interface modification method based on the “relay” jumps proposed by us provides a way to fabricate DAFC membrane electrode catalysts.

Developing high-efficiency adsorbents with sufficient active species to remove phosphate from wastewater is still a significant and formidable challenge. Herein, a metal-ion modification strategy was developed to construct a series of lanthanum (La 3 + )-functionalized zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks containing different functional groups through a one-step solvothermal process. The investigations for the influence of functional groups of ligands on the resulting La species and the role of La(OH) 3 in the phosphate removal are the primary focuses of this research. Unlike the simple La doping in UiO-66, UiO-66-NH 2 and many previously reported MOF systems, La(OH) 3 was in situ formed during the preparation of La-functionalized UiO-66-OH, which was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. At room temperature, the optimized 0.5La-UiO-66-OH, with a molar ratio of La 3+ versus the total metal precursor of 0.5, exhibits a desirable adsorption capacity of 219.6 mg g −1 , exceeding those of UiO-66 (146.8 mg g −1 ), UiO-66-OH (158.9 mg g −1 ), and many reported adsorbents. Besides, reusability tests demonstrate that 0.5La-UiO-66-OH can maintain high adsorption performance (96 %) after five cycles and the practical usability of by 0.5La-UiO-66-OH is confirmed using real lake water. In-depth investigations (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) on mechanism unveiled that the adsorption of phosphate by 0.5La-UiO-66-OH involved a combined process of electrostatic attraction and ligand exchange. This research presents the first regulation of generating active La species within MOFs through subtle modification and provides valuable insights for wastewater treatment.

Metal oxohydroxides (MOOH) are widely accepted as the true active species for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the MOOH converted from pre-catalysts usually exhibits better catalytic performance than those directly synthesized. The underlying structural reason for this phenomenon remains controversial. In this work, CoOOH and Co(OH) 2 with similar morphology are employed as model catalysts to investigate the origin of in-situ converted catalyst’s high activity, as Co(OH) 2 can be fully converted to CoOOH during OER. In-situ Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance, HR-TEM, and X-ray spectroscopic studies reveal that O vacancies in the CoOOH converted from Co(OH) 2 play a key role in its higher intrinsic activity towards OER than directly synthesized CoOOH. Furthermore, theoretical calculations and electrochemical methods indicate that O vacancies in CoOOH affect the interaction between Co–O bond, downshift the d-band center of Co, further weaken the adsorption of OH*, and finally facilitate the OER process over CoOOH. This work not only provides a deep understanding of pre-catalyst’s high OER activity by taking Co(OH) 2 as an example but also deliver insights into the activation process of other electrochemical oxidation reactions.

This work shows how the rate parameter of the proposed kinetic model is highly suitable for adequately comparing the temperature-dependent thermal stability behavior of different compounds. This means that a simple plot of the rate parameter versus temperature for polymers containing fillers of different natures or in different concentrations allows for establishing the temperature ranges in which each filler is more efficient in improving thermal stability. Since linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is used in a wide range of applications, its thermal degradation is a crucial aspect to consider for its optimal use. This work examines the effect of magnesium hydroxide (MH) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the thermal degradation of LLDPE in a non-oxidizing atmosphere using isothermal data. Experimental data were obtained by thermogravimetry (TGA) in a nitrogen atmosphere at different temperatures. A kinetic study was performed using a model-fitting method based on logistic derivative functions. The method consists of initially fitting the experimental mass loss rate curves using nonlinear methods with logistic derivative functions. One of the fitting parameters represents the degradation rate. The kinetic significance is primarily described by the dependence of the rate parameter, used in the fittings, on the temperature. That dependence can be expressed in two equivalent ways: either by a characteristic time and temperature, or by the parameters of the classical Arrhenius equation—activation energy and pre-exponential factor. Ultimately, by comparing the kinetics of LLDPE and its composites, it was possible to establish the stabilizing effect of the fillers as a function of temperature. More importantly, this methodology provides a very clear and direct way to compare how the stabilizing effects of fillers of different natures and at different ratios vary across temperature ranges. The observed temperature-dependent stabilization effects in LLDPE composites underscore the critical need for precise filler selection tailored to specific operational temperature ranges, offering vital design guidelines for enhanced thermal management in practical applications.
