α-Fe 2 O 3 /porous g-C 3 N 4 (α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN) photocatalysts were fabricated via a facile and green method. Structural characterization indicated α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were successfully loaded onto PCN. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN nanocomposites were proven durable with significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine B photodegradation than the single components under visible light irradiation. The improved photoactivity was mainly attributed to the broadened visible light absorption, enriched active sites, and formation of α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN heterojunction that addressed the recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN hybrids also showed high recyclability and chemical stability.

For the past several decades, lots of adsorbent nanomaterials have been adopted for the enrichment of mercuric compounds. In this paper, graphene oxide bounded silica particles were employed as the absorbent for online preconcentration of Hg(II), methylmercury (MeHg) and ethylmercury (EtHg) by solid phase extraction . The adsorbent offered satisfactory adsorption capacities of 40.7 for Hg(II), 91.4 for MeHg and 103.8 mg g −1 for EtHg. Enrichment conditions such as type, concentration and volume of conditioning and eluting reagents were optimized. The pH, volume and flow rate of sample were also optimized. High enrichment factors (1963, 1881 and 1794 for Hg(II), MeHg and EtHg, respectively) were obtained with 10 mL sample (adjusted to pH 4–7) at 10 mL min −1 flow rate, 5 μL of 10 mM benzoic acid for elution and 4 mL of 1 mM 4-phenyl-3-aminothiourea for preconditioning. The detection limits obtained were downscaled to be 0.005 for Hg(II), 0.006 for MeHg and 0.009 ng L −1 for EtHg with relative standard deviations of all the analytes below 5%. Standard reference material and spiked water samples were analyzed for validating the method with satisfactory recoveries of 89–106%. The present method was successfully applied to determine mercury compounds in drinking water , and river and tap water , in which Hg(II), MeHg and EtHg were presented below the China's drinking standard limit of 1 μg L −1 .

Electrocatalytic active sites along the Mo-terminated edge of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) are responsible for the promising hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity but poor electrical convey, and scarcity of active sites may inhibit its electrocatalytic performance. Therefore, enhancing the electronic conductivity and increasing the active sites in basal plane are required to realize more efficient hydrogen evolution activity for layered MoS 2 . Herein, by the incorporation of heterophase SnS 2 quantum dots into the basal plane to form atomic-level heterostructure, we dramatically report the enhanced HER activity from MoS 2 with current density of −10 mA cm −2 at a lowered overpotential of 240 mV, a reduced Tafel slope of 65 mV/dec and a long-term durability over 18 h operation. Structural characterization and electrochemical studies reveal the incorporation of heterophase SnS 2 quantum dots can efficaciously realize the disorder engineering in the atomic level to regulate the electronic structure, optimize the energy barrier of hydrogen adsorption/desorption, and proliferate the catalytic active sites density, thus activating the basal plane of MoS 2 for hydrogen evolution. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals the inception of the improved electrocatalytic activity stemmed from an astronomically immense reduction of the kinetic energy barrier of hydrogen adsorption on and desorption from sulfur sites and sulfur vacancies in the basal plane upon SnS 2 incorporation and Sn doping. Our work engenders an efficient method to active the basal plane of 2H-MoS 2 by the incorporation of SnS 2 heterophase into the atomic layer inducing atomic dislocation and electronic structure optimization.

Searching photocatalysts for efficient hydrogen production has been a challenging issue for solar-energy harvesting. Using co-catalyst is proven to be an effective approach to improve the efficiency of photocatalyst in water-splitting. Here, we report that carbonized MoS2 (MoS2/Mo2C) can be a superactive co-catalyst in solar-driven hydrogen production. We show that MoS2/Mo2C decorated CdS achieves a high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (34 mmol/h/g, ∼112 times higher than pure CdS) and excellent apparent quantum efficiency (41.4% at 420 nm). The outstanding photocatalytic performance of MoS2/Mo2C/CdS is attributed to the metallic characteristic of MoS2/Mo2C and suitable Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption, leading to enhanced light absorption, fast separation and transportation of photoinduced carriers, and optimal activity in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). We further show that MoS2/Mo2C as co-catalyst can also dramatically improve the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4. Our findings demonstrate that the carbonized transition metal disulfide can be active as co-catalyst in photocatalysis, providing guidance on exploring novel photocatalysts for energy harvesting.

Efficient photo-electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are synthesized using a facile one-step hydrothermal method. With metal-ion bridges, highly dispersed molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanolayers are vertically grown on the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) to form RGO-M-MoS 2 photocatalysts for HER, where M = Fe 3+ , Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ . The results show that the cross-bridging ions can modulate the MoS 2 growth priority and act as efficient charge transfer channels between RGO and MoS 2 , and combine the advantages of the high conductivity of graphene with the photo-electrochemical activity of MoS 2 . The metal-ion bridged MoS 2 -M-RGO heterostructures demonstrate superior catalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction in acid medium, evidenced by the remarkable higher catalytic current density at low overpotential compared with that of MoS 2 -RGO without metal-ion bridge. This study provides a novel and facile route for establishing efficient composite photo-electrocatalysts for water splitting to generate hydrogen.

A new MOFs adsorbent was prepared by post-functionalization of UiO-66-NH 2 with 2,5-Dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole and utilized to remove the Hg(II) in water selectively. The UiO-66-types were detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and zeta potential instruments. The adsorption properties of the new MOFs adsorbent were investigated by batch experiments. The actual maximum adsorption amount was 670.5 mg/g at the optimal pH of 3. Adsorption kinetic and isotherm models were exceedingly fitted to pseudo-second-order and Langmuir/Dubinin-Radushkevich, respectively. The adsorption process and mode were geared to monolayer and chemisorption, the removal rate was directly proportional to the square of mercury ions concentration. The UiO-66-DMTD adsorbent was easy to be regenerated and the removal rate decreased by only 13.5% after ten consecutive cycles. The results of FTIR, XRD and XPS suggested that the adsorption mechanism lay on the complexation reaction between Hg(II) and thiol/nitrogen-containing groups. Moreover, compared with other competitive metal ions, viz., Zn(II), Co(IV), Ni(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Fe(III), Ca(II) and Cu(II), the UiO-66-DMTD demonstrated an outstanding selective adsorption for Hg(II). These results manifested that the UiO-66-DMTD was a latent adsorbent for the efficient and selective removal of Hg(II) in wastewater.

In recent years, two-dimensional inorganic materials (MoS2) have been promising candidates for EM wave absorber because of their high specific surface area, excellent electronic properties and dielectric loss caused by polymorphism. Nevertheless, the poor impedance matching of individual MoS2 limited its microwave absorption performance. Optimizing the impedance matching of microwave absorber can be an effective way to achieve electromagnetic wave attenuation. In this study, we deposited CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles on the surface of MoS2 nanosheets using reasonable hydrothermal reactions to optimize its poor impedance and enhance interfacial polarization. The MC-6 composite (mMoS2 : mCoFe2O4 = 6 : 1) exhibited excellent microwave absorption capability. The minimum reflection loss (RL) reached −55.3 dB at 16.24 GHz (Ku band) and the effective absorption bandwidth (<−10 dB) was measured to be 6.26 GHz (X band) with a thickness of 1.6 mm. This study confirms that optimizing impedance matching and interfacial polarization of MoS2-based composites play a key role in the microwave response. Moreover, the reasonable optimization of impedance matching enables regulation of the effective bandwidth and strong absorption intensity.

Recent works of designing excellent adsorbents emphasized on the specific surface areas and porosities of the materials. This study presents the influence of morphological modulation on extraction efficiencies of materials for the first time. Sea urchin-like nanoporous carbon (NPC), derived from metal organic framework (MOF), was synthesized and fabricated as solid phase microextraction (SPME) device. The morphological modulated structure of the NPC, with enhanced effective adsorption sites produced by the pointed and sharp edges, could improve the extraction efficiencies of the NPC. Comparing with the unmodulated one, NPC with morphological modulation possessed higher extraction efficiencies (2 flod) as well as accelerated sampling rates (5 flod) on benzene series compounds (BTEX), improving the sensitivity of the sampling method (limits of detection ranged from 0.08 ng L −1 to 0.36 ng L −1 ). Moreover, it was also the first time that the moisture sensitive MOF-derived NPC was exploited as the SPME adsorbent. In general, this study was expected to be an important advance in broadening the approaches on designing a superior SPME adsorbents not only emphasizing on the specific surface area as well as porosity but also the morphology.

The intrinsic polysulfide shuttle in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have significantly limited their practical applications. Conductive carbon materials with heteroatom doping and rich porosity is the most common strategy for the effective prevention of polysulfide shuttle, but are usually obtained with high costs and tedious procedures. Herein, we managed to obtain highly porous N, S-codoped carbon materials (NS-C) through treating waste plastic of polyvinylchloride (PVC) with KOH. The resulting NS-C was revealed to be highly efficient hosts for sulfur cathode, achieving large reversible capacities of 1205 mA h g−1 and 836 mA h g−1 at 0.1C and 1.0C, respectively, and remaining at 550 mA h g−1 after 500 cycles at 1C rate, showing an outstanding cycling stability. The significantly enhanced cycling performance was mainly ascribed to both the hierarchically porous structure and heavy N, S co-dopants, which respectively provided physical blocks and chemical affinity for the efficient immobilization of intermediate lithium polysulfides. The results provide an effective paradigm in the surface chemistry and sulfur cathode materials design for high-performance Li–S batteries and a new application for recycled plastic waste.

In contrast to conventional nanomaterials or organic dyes, carbon dots possess a variety of appealing properties including chemical inertness and easy manipulation and they can be dispersed in water. Herein, the use of a concentrated solar irradiation sintering strategy for the rapid and efficient assembly of carbon dots (CDs) has been reported for the first time. This novel alternative pathway effectively uses a renewable source and the process is feasible and environmentally sustainable. Three kinds of CDs were obtained, which demonstrate blue, green and red luminescence. Highly efficient blue-emitting CDs with quantum yield as high as 81% have been realized. The blue and red carbon dots give rise to excitation-independent emission peaks at 443 and 592 nm, respectively; however, the green CDs feature a continuous shift and the evolution of emission curves varies from 480 to 538 nm. By regulating the composition and ratios of these tri-color carbon dots, the emission band generates peaks from blue to red light, which cover almost the entire visible light range. Upon a single ultra-violet excitation at 365 nm, a white-light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.28, 0.33) was detected and the signal was very close to pure white light (0.33, 0.33). This study introduces a new method for fabricating low-cost nanoparticles as potential phosphors for light-emitting uses.

The (S, N) co-doped Ba 2 In 2- x Cr x O 5+ y (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) oxides are successfully obtained by mixing the Ba 2 In 2- x Cr x O 5+ y oxides and thiourea through a simple ball milling method followed by sintering at 400 °C for 3 h. The colors of the compounds change from orange-brown to yellow-green after reacting with thiourea. When Cr amount is small ( x = 0.1), the crystal structure of (S, N) co-doped Ba 2 In 2- x Cr x O 5+ y is orthorhombic Ba 2 In 2 O 5 phase. When x ≥ 0.3, the crystal structure of the sample is cubic BaInO 2.5 phase. And this phase transition is the same as Ba 2 In 2- x Cr x O 5+ y . XPS results reveal that Cr 6+ in Ba 2 In 2- x Cr x O 5+ y (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) oxides are reduced to Cr 3+ after sintering. S exists in both cation and anion forms, and N exists in substitutional forms. UV–Vis analysis indicates that the yellow-green hue comes from the d-d transition of Cr 3+ , and the doping of S, N ions leads to a red shift of the absorption edge of the samples.
