A series of supported and bulk Cu–Mn–Ce ternary oxide catalysts was synthesized by wet-impregnation (IM), deposition–precipitation (DP), traditional co-precipitation (CP), co-precipitation with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CC), and sol–gel (SG) methods. The supported catalysts (CuMn/Ce-IM, CuMn/Ce-DP) exhibited significantly higher activity for CO oxidation than the bulk catalysts (CuMnCe-CP, CuMnCe-CC and CuMnCe-SG). The improved performance could be attributed to the presence of more isolated CuO and MnO x entities on the surface of supported catalysts, which contributed to the efficient utilization of both lattice oxygen from CeO 2 and spillover oxygen from surface MnO x . For bulk catalysts, major Cu–Mn species were doped to form \({\text{C}}{{\text{u}}_{\text{x}}}{\text{M}}{{\text{n}}_{\text{y}}}{\text{C}}{{\text{e}}_{1 - {\text{x}} - {\text{y}}}}{{\text{O}}_{2 - {\text{z}}}}\) solid solutions and a part of them were coated by ceria mechanically. Lowest 50% CO conversion temperature were achieved at 76.9 °C for CuMn/Ce-IM catalyst. Low-temperature CO oxidation activities of all catalysts were in the sequence of CuMn/Ce-IM > CuMn/Ce-DP > CuMnCe-SG > CuMnCe-CC > CuMnCe-CP. Graphical Abstract

Ternary transition metal sulfides are extensively considered as supercapacitor electrode materials due to their remarkable electrochemical properties . However, inferior electrical conductivity and structural stability severely limit their applications. Here, we address these limitations by introducing N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) into Ni-Co-Mn-S nanoflowers via a two-step hydrothermal process followed by electrodeposition . Ni-Co-Mn-S nanoflowers feature a skeleton structure supporting rich ion transfer paths and abundant active sites, while electrodeposited N-CDs increase the electrical conductivity and enhance the cycling performance. The resulting Ni-Co-Mn-S@N-CDs material demonstrates a remarkable specific capacity of 2267 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 and maintains 96.2 % capacity after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g −1 . Moreover, this electrode material allows the development of hybrid supercapacitors with an impressive energy density of 61.6 Wh kg −1 at 800 W kg −1 and a superior capacitance retention of 89.0 % after 20,000 charge/discharge cycles at 5 A g −1 , alongside an excellent flexibility under various deformations. These findings represent a significant advancement in hybrid solid-state supercapacitors with promising implications for flexible energy storage technologies.

Ca-based materials are considered to be promising energy storage materials for the 3rd generation concentrated solar power (CSP) plants due to their high energy storage density , high operating temperature , and low energy loss . However, the poor cyclic stability, low solar absorption capability, and slow reaction kinetics of conventional Ca-based materials seriously limit large-scale applications. Here, we successfully synthesized a Zr-Mn co-doped CaO-based composite, achieving good cyclic stability, enhanced solar absorption capability, and fast carbonation reaction kinetics simultaneously. The energy storage performance of 20Ca-0.5Zr-0.5Mn was evaluated at a high carbonation reaction temperature of 850 °C. Results showed that the performance decay of 20Ca-0.5Zr-0.5Mn was only 10.11 % over 30 cycles. By co-doping Zr and Mn elements, the carbonation reaction kinetics of CaO-based composites were promoted because of increased basicity and oxygen vacancies . Compared with pure CaO, the average solar absorptance of 20Ca-0.5Zr-0.5Mn was enhanced by about 376 %. Therefore, the proposed Zr-Mn co-doped CaO-based composite indicates the bright applied prospect in CSP plants for solar energy storage .

Calcium-looping-based thermochemical energy storage (TCES) technology can be embraced for peak load shifting in renewable energy generation systems. However, the energy storage properties of Ca-based materials rapidly decay after multiple cycles. In this study, a synergistic strategy involving pyroligneous acid impregnation and Mn–Co–Al incorporation was developed to improve the pore structure, enhance the oxygen vacancy concentration, and boost antisintering performance of the calcium-based composites, thereby significantly improving their TCES properties and cyclic durability. The modified CaO-based composites were systematically analyzed using various characterization methods to evaluate their heat storage performance, sintering resistance mechanism, and physicochemical properties. Characterization results revealed that the codoped sample with Ca:Mn:Co:Al = 100:12:4:5 (PACa-Mn12Co4Al5) possessed a loose and porous surface with a measured specific surface area of 13.72 m2/g, providing channels for CO2 diffusion into the inner particles. Ca3CoMnO6 and Ca3Al2O6, acting as inert supports, were uniformly distributed in PACa-Mn12Co4Al5, effectively mitigating sintering. The addition of Mn–Co–Al strengthened the basicity and promoted oxygen vacancy formation in PACa-Mn12Co4Al5. The oxygen vacancies encouraged the formation of ion diffusion channels, reducing the O2– transport resistance across the surface and within the bulk of PACa-Mn12Co4Al5, thereby improving the reaction activity and conversion efficiency. PACa-Mn12Co4Al5 demonstrated excellent heat storage performance under calcination at 750 °C and carbonation at 850 °C. After 40 and 100 cycles, its energy storage density remained at 97.29% and 84.65% of the initial value (1212.79 kJ/kg), respectively. Moreover, the average radiation absorptance of PACa-Mn12Co4Al5 reached 59.85%, 5.26 times that of limestone-based CaO. Therefore, PACa-Mn12Co4Al5 is a promising heat storage material, providing guidance for the industrial application of Ca-based TCES materials.

Compared with conventional thermal catalysis reaction, the photothermal CO 2 -assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (CO 2 -ODHP) to produce propylene and CO is an environmentally friendly and sustainable method that operates at lower temperatures. In the present work, we have developed a series of Co-Mn/MCM-41 catalysts and utilized them in the photothermal CO 2 -ODHP reaction. Among these catalysts, the sample with Co and Mn loadings of 3 % resulted in activities of 225.7 μmol g cat −1 h −1 of propylene and 272.0 μmol g cat −1 h −1 of CO at 250 °C. Characterization results revealed that the electron transfer and interplay between Co and Mn oxides enhance the photoelectronic response and reduce impedance, facilitating the electron transfer process. Besides, the Co and Mn bimetallic species could enhance photothermal conversion efficiency and further enhance the local temperature during the reaction. The present work introduces a novel strategy for building supported bimetallic oxides in achieving CO 2 -ODHP via the photothermal route and is also expected to provide an optional catalyst required satisfactions including efficient electron transfer and photothermal conversion for other photothermal reactions.

The development of cost-effective, high-performance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts is pivotal for advancing energy conversion technologies such as metal–air batteries and fuel cells. Herein, we report a facile and efficient strategy to synthesize Mn nanoparticles loaded on N-doped hierarchically porous carbon framework (Mn/N-C) through utilizing ZIF-8 as a carbon/nitrogen precursor and MnCl 2 ·4H 2 O as the Mn source. The synthesis integrates mechanical grinding with an NaCl-assisted pyrolysis process, where molten NaCl acts as a dynamic template and intercalation agent to prevent structural collapse during carbonization, thereby creating a 3D porous architecture with coexisting micro-, meso-, and macropores. Physicochemical characterization reveals that the Mn/N-C-2 sample exhibits a high specific surface area (1770 m 2 /g), abundant defects, and uniform dispersion of Mn nanoparticles within the N-doped carbon matrix. Electrochemical evaluations demonstrate that Mn/N-C-2 catalyst possesses a higher half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) of 0.836 V and a larger limiting current density ( J L ) of 5.54 mA/cm 2 , surpassing other control samples and most reported Mn-based catalysts and comparable to that of commercial Pt/C. When integrated into Zn–air batteries (ZABs), Mn/N-C-2-based ZABs deliver an open-circuit voltage of 1.49 V and a peak power density of 150.51 mW/cm 2 , outperforming benchmark Pt/C-based counterparts. This work offers a cost-effective electrocatalyst for ORR and can be used instead of noble metals in ZABs. Graphical Mn/N-C electrocatalysts are fabricated by a NaCl-assisted pyrolysis strategy. The optimized Mn/N-C-2 catalyst exhibits a large specific surface area, hierarchically porous architecture and high content of active N, presenting an E 1/2 of 0.836 V for ORR. When integrated into ZABs, it delivers an open-circuit voltage of 1.49 V and a peak power density of 150.5 mW/cm 2 .

Mn 2+ ion, as an acceptor dopant, is usually employed to optimize the microstructures and electrical properties of BaTiO 3 -based lead-free ceramic systems. In this work, Ba 0.8 Sr 0.2 (Ti 1 − x Mn x )O 3 (BSTM, x = 0-0.005 mol) ceramics were synthesized using the solid-state sintering technique. The effects of Mn 2+ doping content and sintering condition on the microstructure, dielectric, and energy storage properties of BSTM ceramics were studied and discussed. Compared with undoped samples, the Mn doping with a low concentration of x < 0.005 mol can effectively reduce the average grain size of BSTM ceramics when sintered at 1300 °C/3 h. It is also found that Mn 2+ doping can decrease the dielectric loss and enhance remarkably the electrical strength ( E BDS ). This is because Mn replaces B-site Ti 4+ ions, thus generating oxygen vacancies as well as defect dipoles \([Mn_{{Ti}}^{{nn}} - V_{O}^{{ \cdot \cdot }} ]\) . With an increase in Mn 2+ doping content, more oxygen vacancies are produced to modify the microstructure and electrical properties. However, either elevated sintering temperature (e.g., 1325 °C) or prolonged sintering time (e.g., 1275 °C/5 h) can induce a rapid growth of grain size, leading to the weakened relaxation characteristics and the valence transformation from Mn 2+ to Mn 3+ / Mn 4+ , but the energy efficiency of BSTM ceramics is enhanced due to the thin P– E ferroelectric loops. The significant impacts of Mn 2+ doping and sintering conditions on the morphology structure and electrical properties need to be considered for the better optimization of energy storage properties of relaxor ferroelectric ceramics.

We propose a synergistic strategy of titanium doping and surface coating with a Mn-rich shell to modify the Na-rich manganese-oxide-based cathode material Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67-x Ti x O 1.9 F 0.1 in sodium-ion batteries and elucidate the underlying mechanism for enhanced material performance. First, it is found that the electrochemical performance of the proposed cathode material can be effectively improved when the Ti doping amount is x = 0.3. In addition to doping, the cathode material coated with a manganese-rich shell was prepared by a liquid coating method. The as-prepared Mn@Ti-doped-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, delivering 169 mAh/g discharge capacity. The charge–discharge cycle test was carried out at a current density of 2C, and the sample not only provides a reversible capacity of 119 mAh/g but also has a capacity retention rate of 71 % after 500 charge–discharge cycles. The Ti doping and surface coating with a Mn-rich shell are shown to improve the specific discharge capacity, cycling stability and rate capability of the cathode material and mitigate voltage decay. These results validate our design principle and provide a novel approach to enhance the performance of cathode materials in sodium-ion batteries.

Environmentally friendly P2-type layered iron manganese oxides appear to be one of the most potential cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, their practical application is hindered by the unfavorable phase transitions, dissolution of transition metals, and poor air stability. One effective strategy by either single-cation doping or high-cost Li involved co-doping is used to alleviate the problems. Here, low-cost Cu/Ti co-doping is introduced to boost P2-Na 0.7 Cu 0.2 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.5 Ti 0.1 O 2 as an air and electrochemical stable cathode material for SIBs. The resulting electrode delivers an initial capacity of 130 mAh g −1 at 0.1C within 2.0–4.2 V, a reversible discharge capacity of 61.0 mAh g −1 at a high rate of 5C and a capacity retention ratio exceeding 71.1% after 300 cycles. In particular, the co-doped crystal structure is well-maintained after 1 month of exposure to air, and even 3 days of soaking in water. Furthermore, the enhancement is elucidated by the effectively mitigated P2–Z and the completely suppressed P2–P′2 phase transitions, the decreased volume variation proved by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as the lowered transition-metal dissolution evidenced by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The low-lost Cu/Ti doping strategy could thus be effective for designing and preparing environmentally friendly and high-performance cathode materials for SIBs.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted considerable attention for energy storage applications because of their multi-principal synergistic effects and excellent structural stability. In this study, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a surfactant to synthesize (CrMnFeCoNi) 3 O 4 HEOs by tuning the molar ratio of PEG to metal cations ( P / M ). The results show that PEG plays three roles during synthesis, serving simultaneously as a coordinating dispersant, a structure-directing agent, and an in situ porogen. The optimized HEO ( P / M = 4/5) exhibits a uniform nanoparticle morphology and a well-developed pore architecture, delivering a specific capacitance of 557.6 F g –1 . Kinetic analysis further indicates that its pseudocapacitive behavior is from a cooperative effect involving both capacitive-controlled and diffusion-dominated mechanisms. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor device achieves an energy density of 64.2 Wh kg –1 at a power density of 375.3 W kg –1 and retains 81.3% of its capacitance after 10000 charge/discharge cycles. These outstanding electrochemical properties highlight the promise of PEG template (CrMnFeCoNi) 3 O 4 HEOs for advanced energy storage applications. Graphical abstract

A magnetic CoMn-PBA*-based adsorption–activation system was developed for mycotoxin detoxification. • Synergistic adsorption and PMS activation enabled rapid removal of AFB₁, ZEN, and OTA. • Efficient detoxification was achieved in edible oil and grape juice while maintaining acceptable quality. • The catalyst exhibited good reusability and stable performance during repeated cycles. • Zebrafish assays demonstrated reduced toxicity of degradation products and favorable preliminary biosafety. Aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ), zearalenone (ZEN), and ochratoxin A (OTA) are widespread contaminants in food systems, while existing detoxification approaches often suffer from limited efficiency and poor applicability in complex matrices. Herein, a magnetic cobalt–manganese Prussian blue analogue-derived catalyst was developed by integrating adsorption with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for synergistic detoxification of multiple mycotoxins. The catalyst exhibited rapid adsorption toward AFB₁ with a removal efficiency of up to 98%, while PMS activation generated reactive species, including SO₄•⁻ and •OH, which further promoted the degradation of ZEN and OTA. As a result, efficient removal of all three mycotoxins was achieved within 30 min through the combined adsorption–oxidation process. The catalyst also maintained considerable detoxification performance after four consecutive cycles, indicating acceptable reusability. Importantly, the treated edible oils and grape juice maintained comparable quality parameters to the untreated controls, indicating minimal impact on food quality and the feasibility in complex food matrices. Zebrafish assays further indicated low acute toxicity of the catalyst and treated products under the tested conditions, providing preliminary evidence of biosafety. This study provides a promising integrated adsorption–activation strategy for efficient mycotoxin detoxification in complex food matrices.

As a viable p-type thermoelectric (TE) material, Cu 2 SnSe 3 has attracted increasing attention, primarily due to its moderate band gap and tunable electronic structure. Nevertheless, its practical TE utilization is significantly limited by its inherently high lattice thermal conductivity ( κ l ) and suboptimal power factor. Herein, a Fe/Mn co-doping strategy is proposed to concomitantly regulate electrical and thermal transport properties, thereby achieving a remarkable improvement in the overall TE performance. A series of Cu 2 Sn 1–2x Fe x Mn x Se 3 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) ceramic samples were fabricated via vacuum-based melting followed by hot-press sintering, which concurrently introduced abundant lattice defects and a CuSe secondary phase. These multi-scale structural features significantly enhance phonon scattering, causing a substantial reduction in thermal conductivity. Consequently, the total thermal conductivity of Cu 2 Sn 0.92 Fe 0.04 Mn 0.04 Se 3 is reduced to a minimum value of 0.432 W m −1 K −1 at 773 K. Meanwhile, Fe/Mn co-doping notably increases the charge carrier concentration ( n ), resulting in a dramatic enhancement in electrical conductivity—from 189.8 S cm −1 for Cu 2 SnSe 3 to 1381 S cm −1 for Cu 2 Sn 0.92 Fe 0.04 Mn 0.04 Se 3. Although the Seebeck coefficient exhibites a slight to moderate reduction, the significant increase in electrical conductivity prevails, yielding a substantially optimized power factor ( PF ). A maximum PF of 500.1 μW m −1 K −2 was achieved, together with a peak ZT value of 0.89 at 773 K, representing a 5.23-fold enhancement compared to the undoped Cu 2 SnSe 3 sample ( ZT = 0.17). In addition to enhancing thermoelectric performance, Fe/Mn co-doping significantly improves the mechanical of Cu 2 SnSe 3 . Specifically, the Young’s modulus ( E ) and hardness ( H ) of Cu 2 Sn 0.92 Fe 0.04 Mn 0.04 Se 3 increased by 18.2% and 25.2%, respectively, relative to the undoped sample—demonstrating markedly enhanced mechanical robustness. These results establish Fe/Mn co-doping as an effective and versatile strategy for decoupling electrical and thermal transport in Cu 2 SnSe 3 -based materials, thereby providing a promising pathway toward high-performance thermoelectric materials with superior structural integrity.
