Although much effort has been made to the cadmium-free quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs), it is still a big challenge to achieve an efficient eco-friendly QLED. Here, an extremely efficient QLED based on Ag–In–Zn–S QDs is constructed with the insertion of an 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazole-2-yl)benzene (TPBi) hole-spacing interlayer. The electrical properties of single carrier devices demonstrate the TPBi blocks the hole injection, leading to a more balanced charge injection in the device. Transient electroluminescence measurements confirm that the hole accumulation adjacent QDs is dramatically suppressed after the insertion of TPBi, hence limiting the interactions between excitons and holes. Consequently, the peak current (power) efficiency of 6.0 cd/A (6.5 lm/W) is achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the record efficiency for the Ag–In–Zn–S QLEDs reported to date. We anticipate this work will provide a new route for optimizing the performance of Cd-free QLEDs.

Traditional chemical precipitation generates a large volume of sludge required by further hazardous waste disposal. For reducing this drawback, four oligo-ethyleneamine dithiocarbamates (OEDTC), including ethylenediamine-dithiocarbamate (E 1 -DTC), diethylenetriamine-dithiocarbamate (E 2 -DTC), triethylenetetramine-dithiocarbamate (E 3 -DTC) and tetraethylenepentamine-dithiocarbamate (E 4 -DTC) were synthesized to remove Cu, Ni and Zn directly from acidic wastewater. Based on S dose, which was an essential element for metal removal, the treatment effectiveness order of the four OEDTC for Cu and Ni was E 1 -DTC > E 2 -DTC > E 4 -DTC > E 3 -DTC. The theoretical molar ratios of S toward Cu, Ni and Zn for the completed metal removal from single component were 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.2:1 for E 1 -DTC; 2:1, 2.6:1, 2.9:1 for E 2 -DTC; 2:2, 3:1, 3.9:1 for E 3 -DTC; and 2:1, 2.7:1, 2.8 for E 4 -DTC, respectively. The four OEDTC had marked preference for Cu over Ni and Zn from multiple components of simulated wastewater. They showed high removal efficiency for the complex-formed Ni and Zn from actual electroplating wastewater, yielding the effluent residual 0.003–0.008 and 0.021–0.046 mg/L, respectively. When the four OEDTC were precipitated with the three metals, FT-IR suggested the coordination of metals with S and SEM indicated densely packed particle formation. The yielded OEDTC-metals sludge enriched with heavy metals exhibited potential to be recycled.

A core-shell metal-organic framework encapsulated Fe 3 O 4 magnetic particles (Fe 3 O 4 @Zn/Co-ZIFs) was designed and synthesized successfully to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation. It exhibits superior catalytic performance since the unique interior structure and synergistic effect between ZIFs shell and Fe 3 O 4 core, achieving 100% removal of CBZ (5 mg/L) within 30 min. The outer wrapping structure of ZIF-8 can stabilize the ZIF-67 and Fe 3 O 4 under intricate reaction conditions to restrain the leaching of Co ions (as low as 0.067 mg/L). Further investigation found that both SO 4 – and OH contribute to the degradation of CBZ at initial stage, and SO 4 – gradually plays a pivotal role with the reaction time prolonging. The acceleration of electron transfer between Fe 3 O 4 and cobalt active sites of Zn/Co-ZIFs could induce the redox cycling of Co 2+ and Co 3+ . The possible degradation pathway was proposed by analyzing intermediates. This work extends the development of MOFs materials for environmental remediation.

Developing efficient nonprecious electrocatalysts that can drive the oxygen electrode reactions in zinc-air batteries (ZABs) is important but remains challenging. In this work, novel materials comprising Mn/Cu nanoclusters-grafted N-doped carbon nanotubes are synthesized by preparing and then pyrolyzing Mn/Cu polyphthalocyanine-encapsulated carbon nanotubes (CNTs), followed by treating the products with acidic solution. The materials are named CNTs@(Mn,Cu)PPc-T, where T denotes the pyrolysis temperature in °C, and they are demonstrated to serve as efficient oxygen electrode catalysts for zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Among them, the one synthesized at 900 °C, CNTs@(Mn,Cu)PPc-900, requires more positive onset and half-wave potentials for reduction of oxygen and a low overpotential for the evolution of oxygen. A rechargeable ZAB assembled with CNTs@(Mn,Cu)PPc-900 electrocatalyst delivers a high power density (158.5 mW cm −2 ) and displays an excellent stability in 200 cycles of charge/discharge (in over 33 h). Such performance is even superior to that of a ZAB containing the benchmark Pt/C + RuO 2 catalyst as an air cathode under identical testing condition.

We applied a novel solid-liquid co-electrospinning approach to synthesize hybrid LaCoO 3 perovskite nanoparticles@nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (LCNP@NCNF) as an effective and robust electrocatalyst for Zn-air batteries. LCNP@NCNF featured an integrated structure with well-crystallized perovskite nanoparticles uniformly distributed in micro/mesoporous NCNF. In addition, LCNP@NCNF exhibited a high specific surface area of ~183.3 m 2 g −1 and a large pore volume of ~0.164 m 3 g −1 . The rotating-electrode measurement revealed the better intrinsic activity and more favorable stability of LCNP@NCNF in comparison with their counterparts. Moreover, Zn-air batteries employing LCNP@NCNF showed a relatively smaller discharge-charge voltage gap of ~0.95 V and longer cycling stability than the battery adopting the physically blended LCNP and NCNF. We ascribed the improved electrochemical activity to the enhanced synergistic interaction originating from the successful coupling of LCNP and NCNF.

Rational synthesis of bifunctional electrocatalysts with high performance and strong durability is highly demanded rechargeable metal–air battery. In this work, ZIF-derived Co9S8/C coated with conductive graphene nanosheet (Co9S8/GN) was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method and formed a stable double-carbon structure. As expected, the prepared Co9S8/GN catalyst exhibits a high catalytic activity (ΔE: 0.88 V) and long-term durability toward both oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR and OER), which is even superior to the Pt/C + Ir/C mixture (0.91 V). In addition, the Zn–air battery with the Co9S8/GN catalyst showed higher power density (186 mW cm–2) and more stable charge–discharge cycling performances (2000 cycles) than the Pt/C + Ir/C (118 mW cm–2). Based on these analysis results, the favorable catalytic performance of ORR/OER should be illustrated by the following reasons: (i) large specific surface area and unique mesoporous structure, providing abundant active sites; (ii) good conductivity, accelerating the electrons transfer; and (iii) the unique stable “double-carbon” structures (metal–S–C–C), preventing the agglomeration of metal sulfide, building new quick transfer pathway, and forming the strong electron coupling ability and synergistic effect.

In this work, adsorption behaviors of pyrene (PYR), fluoranthene (FLT), phenanthrene (PHE), and fluorene (FLU) on the coordination cluster [Zn5(H2Ln)6](NO3)4]·8H2O·2CH3OH (Zn5) were studied. The adsorption mechanism and spectrum analyses revealed that the synergistic effect of hydrophobic interaction, π–π stacking, and N–H···π interaction played a crucial role during the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacities of PYR, FLT, PHE, and FLU were 406.4, 399.7, 153.7, and 114.3 mg g–1, respectively, resulting from the Langmuir isotherm model. Quick removal of PYR and FLT was found in kinetic experiments with the adsorption equilibrium being reached within 1 min. Competitive adsorption indicated that the adsorption sites for PYR, FLT, PHE, and FLU on Zn5 were identical, and synergistic effects also existed in the adsorption process. Therefore, Zn5 has the potential to be used as an adsorbent in the field of wastewater treatment.

Kraft lignin depolymerization to liquid fuels with high yields is crucial to the comprehensive achievement of sustainable and economic feasibility. Herein, we prepared a bimetallic Co-Zn/Off-Al H-beta catalyst through a two-step post synthesis method composed of dealumination and metal incorporation. The bifunctional Co-Zn/Off-Al H-beta catalyst efficiently converted Kraft lignin to liquid fuels, which was attributable to the synergistic effect of Co hydrogen binding sites and Zn Lewis acid sites on H-beta support. Catalytic hydrogenation with Co:Zn = 1:3/Off-Al H-beta catalyst at 320 °C for 24 h gave the highest yield of petroleum ether soluble product (81%, mainly monomers and dimers). Under these conditions, the liquefied lignin gave a higher heating value of 33.3 MJ/kg, which is a significant increase from 26.0 MJ/kg of Kraft lignin. The catalyst stability test showed excellent recyclability. This work provides a paradigm of improving lignin depolymerization efficiency via the combined use of Lewis acid and hydrogenation catalyst.

In this report, a novel hollow boxes shape ZnSnO 3 is synthesized via a one-pot surfactant-free method. We synthesize CNT@ZnSnO 3 hollow boxes via hydrothermal reaction by using the Zn-MOF(ZIF-8) as the Zn source at the first time. Several characterization techniques are used to investigate the structure, morphology, composition and specific surface area of CNT@ZnSnO 3 . CNT@ZnSnO 3 hollow boxes demonstrated large specific surface area (up to 45.73 m 2 /g), which is favorable for the strong gas sensor response. The ethanol sensor based on CNT@ZnSnO 3 hollow boxes exhibited high response of ethanol up to 166 at 240 °C at the concentration of 100 ppm, which is about 8 times higher than the sensing response of ZnSnO 3 nanocubes. Moreover, CNT@ZnSnO 3 hollow boxes based ethanol sensor also shows the excellent selectivity and stability. As a novel green gas sensor, CNT@ZnSnO 3 hollow boxes show the great potential in the gas sensing field.

Ternary transition metal oxides are attractive candidates for supercapacitor electrodes owing to the potential synergistic effects of multi metal species. However, their actual electrochemical performance is not satisfactory due to unsatisfied microstructures, morphologies or components. It is well known that electrode materials with appropriate morphology have a great influence on their electrochemical performance. In this work, a new urchin-like zinc-nickel-cobalt oxide (ZNCO) microsphere with a spinel cubic structure is prepared by simple hydrothermal method. Such an interesting structure is expected to offer larger surface areas, and the multi metal species can enhance the electrical conductivity, introduce extrinsic defects and improve its electrochemical performance. As expected, the specific capacity and rate performance of prepared ZNCO are 766 C/g at 1 A/g and 93.21% of capacity retention at 20 A/g, respectively. The study of charge storage mechanism of ZNCO shows that it includes both diffusion and capacitive-controlled processes. Moreover, the assembled device shows a high specific energy of 41.4 Wh/kg at a specific power of 850 W/kg and the cycling stability is nearly 90% after 20000 charge/discharge cycles. Impressively, the specific energy remains 21.6 Wh/kg at the specific power of 12.75 kW/kg. Therefore, the urchin-like ZNCO microsphere prepared in this work has a good prospect for supercapacitors electrode and this work provides guidance on designing ternary transition metal oxides for energy conversion and storage.

Zinc (Zn) material has recently become a rising biodegradable metal in orthopedic applications owing to its critical physiological functions and degradation characteristics. However, the unsatisfactory cytocompatibility due to the locally high concentration of Zn ions liberated during degradation accompanied with a lack of antibacterial property and osteogenesis severely obstruct the clinical adoption of pure Zn implants. To address these challenges, we construct hierarchical ZnO nanotube/graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures (GO-An-Zn) on the pure Zn substrates via anodic oxidation followed by silk fibroin/GO self-assembly in the present study. The resultant surface displays superior bacteria-killing performances against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, osteoblasts on the dexamethasone (Dex)-laden hierarchical microstructured/nanostructured Zn (GO-Dex-An-Zn) show the enhanced cell compatibility and osteogenicity, outperforming these on pure Zn substrates. It is mainly attributed to the synergistic delivery of Zn ions and Dex from bulk materials during degradation, forming a favorable microenvironment for cell survival and bone tissue remodeling. Accordingly, such work provides a novel solution to simultaneously improve the bactericidal activity and osteogenic potential of Zn-based biomaterials, bode well for their orthopedic use.

Norfloxacin (NX), as one of the most widely used antibiotics, is becoming a potential pollutant in water. Here, the cobalt-decorated nitrogen-rich carbon material containing abundant carbon nanotubes (Co@C-NCNTs) was synthesized by pyrolysis of the Co,Zn bimetal organic frameworks (Co,Zn-MOF). The introduction of Zn led to the formation of abundant CNTs with high aspect ratio and high N-doping in the carbon metrix. The obtained Co@C-NCNTs catalyst was applied to boost non-radical catalysis of peroxymonosulfate for NX degradation with high efficiency. The release of cobalt was greatly inhibited by Co-N interaction and carbon layer protection. The CNTs amount in Co@C-NCNTs and its catalytic activity were tunable with the Zn/Co ratio. At the optimal Zn/Co ratio, the derived Co@C-NCNTs delivered 92% removal of NX in 30 min, significantly higher than the single Co-MOF based catalyst. Free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance demonstrated the singlet 1 O 2 -dominated degradation process of NX accompanied by the •OH and S O 4 − effect. The electrochemical characterization verified that the electron transfer in the PMS system is greatly enhanced due to the presence of Co@C-NCNTs.
