As a representative anodic reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is often combined with hydrogen evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, and other cathodic reactions. Bimetallic selenides can satisfy the requirement of efficiency and economy for OER. However, the OER performance of Fe-Co-Se is less than satisfactory, restricted by the limited inherent active sites. Therefore, by doping P into Fe-Co-Se, the electron density and mass transfer were successfully adjusted. The 3D dandelion-like flower Fe-Co-Se-P/CC showed η 10 of 210 mV and the 45.3 mV dec −1 Tafel slope better than Fe-Co-Se/CC and RuO 2 . Experimental investigations demonstrated that outstanding OER activity was ascribed to the double modulation influences of P dopant both in electron environment and morphology which could not only improve conductivity but also enrich catalytic reactive sites. This work presents another choice for the design of a transition metal OER catalyzer and propels the development of electrocatalytic oxygen production to higher efficiency and lower cost. Graphical Abstract 3D dandelion-like flowers Fe - Co-Se-P structure anchored on carbon cloth has been firstly synthesized as economy and efficient OER electrocatalyst, which displays outstanding catalytic perform ance (equipped with 210 mV low overpotential at η 10 ) and stability benefited from the double modulation effect of P doping on the electronic environment and morphology.

Phosphorene (BP) is a rapidly rising star in two-dimensional (2D) layered nanomaterials beyond graphene, and its urgent issues of ambient instability still have to be resolved. Here, the bimetallic Pt-Pd nanoparticle on the BP surface was employed as multifunctional chemical and biochemical sensing platform for electrocatalytic detection of p -aminophenol (PAP), β-galactosidase (β-Gal), and Escherichia coli ( E. coli ). The BP-supported Pt-Pd nanoelectrocatalyst obtained by the electrodeposition of bimetallic Pt-Pd nanoparticle onto the BP surface was very stable in aqueous buffer containing oxygen, which displayed good voltammetric responses for PAP in a linear range of 0.02 -5 μmol·L -1 with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.41 × 10 −8 M and sensitivity 115.81 μA·μM -1 ·cm -2 . PAP could be obtained by the biochemical reaction of β-Gal in the presence of substrate PAP-β-galactopyranoside, which could realize for biochemical sensing of β-Gal in a linear range of 0.2 -0.8 mU·L -1 with a LOD of 9.35 nU·L -1 and sensitivity of 4.77 μA (mU·L -1 ) -1 ·cm -2 . The β-Gal is an indicator of total coliforms represented by E. coli that are induced by isopropyl-β-thiogalactopyranoside, which could applied for biochemical sensing of E. coli in a linear range of 6 × 106 –1.6 × 108 cfu·mL-1 with LOD of 6.65 × 10 5 cfu·mL -1 and sensitivity of 2.44 μA·(cfu·mL -1 ) -1 ·cm -2 . This work will provide experimental support for multifunctional chemical and biochemical sensing platform based on 2D layered nanomaterials decorated with bimetallic nanoelectrocatalysts.

Ferroelectric polymers have great potential applications in mechanical/thermal sensing, but their sensitivity and detection limit are still not outstanding. We propose interface engineering to improve the charge collection in a ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) copolymer (P(VDF-TrFE)) thin film via cross-linking with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) layer. The as-fabricated P(VDF-TrFE)/PEDOT:PSS composite film exhibits an ultrasensitive and linear mechanical/thermal response, showing sensitivities of 2.2 V kPa −1 in the pressure range of 0.025–100 kPa and 6.4 V K −1 in the temperature change range of 0.05–10 K. A corresponding piezoelectric coefficient of −86 pC N −1 and a pyroelectric coefficient of 95 μC m −2 K −1 are achieved because more charge is collected by the network interconnection interface between PEDOT:PSS and P(VDF-TrFE), related to the increase in the dielectric properties. Our work shines a light on a device-level technique route for boosting the sensitivity of ferroelectric polymer sensors through electrode interface engineering.

The construction and application of novel highly efficient photocatalysts have been the focus in the field of environmental pollutant removal . In this work, a novel CuFe 2 O 4 /Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 photocatalysts were synthesized by simple hydrothermal and chemical precipitation method. The fabricated CuFe 2 O 4 /Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 composite exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity than pristine CuFe 2 O 4 and Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 in the removal of bisphenol A (BPA) under visible-light illumination, which ascribed to the intrinsic p-n junction of CuFe 2 O 4 and Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 . The photocatalytic degradation rate of BPA on CuFe 2 O 4 /Bi 12 O 17 Cl 2 with an optimized CuFe 2 O 4 content (1.0 wt.%) reached 93.0% within 30 min. The capture experiments of active species confirmed that the hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) played crucial roles in photocatalytic BPA degradation process. Furthermore, the possible degradation mechanism and pathways of BPA was proposed according to the detected intermediates in photocatalytic reaction process.

Phenolic compounds that are naturally found in food samples are not only an important part of the human diet but also useful bioactive substances for health. Among these, para- coumaric acid ( p- CA) has antibacterial and antioxidant properties and is used in many industrial processes. In this study, the novel MAX-phase material, Nb 4 AlC 3 , was successfully prepared and characterized in detail with various spectroscopic, microscopic and thermal techniques. The sensor performance of Nb 4 AlC 3 modified glassy carbon electrode (Nb 4 AlC 3 @GCE) was evaluated and analytical parameters were calculated. Experimental conditions such as pH and amount of modifier were optimized with differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements. The real samples analyses of lemon, apple and pomegranate were applied for determination of p- CA with Nb 4 AlC 3 @GCE sensing system under the optimized conditions. The accuracy was evaluated by spike/recovery and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, which accounted for high accuracy of the Nb 4 AlC 3 @GCE sensing system. The limit of detection, limit of quantification, linear working range and relative standard deviation (%) of the Nb 4 AlC 3 @GCE sensing system were determined as 0.28 and 0.85 µmol/L, 0.8–80.0 µmol/L, 3.17 %, respectively. The results showed that the proposed sensing system has the high precision at lower concentration of p- CA.

Exploring semiconductors with a large band gap and a small hole effective mass are of great importance for the development of outstanding p-type transparent conducting materials. In this work, we report the single crystal growth of two Zn-based chalcogenides K 2 Zn 3 S 4 and Rb 2 Zn 3 Se 4 . Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that K 2 Zn 3 S 4 and Rb 2 Zn 3 Se 4 crystallize in P 2/ c and Ibam space group, respectively. Both compounds show layered structure, and the layers are formed by edge-sharing tetragonal [Zn 3 Q 4 ] 2- units and alkali-metal cations are distributed between the layers. To our surprise, compared to the previously reported structure obtained by powder X-ray diffraction, K 2 Zn 3 S 4 crystallized in a new type of structure in which adjacent layers were displaced. Both experiments and theoretical calculations indicate that K 2 Zn 3 S 4 and Rb 2 Zn 3 Se 4 are direct semiconductors with large band gaps, and the experimental values are 3.6 eV for K 2 Zn 3 S 4 and 3.1 eV for Rb 2 Zn 3 Se 4 . Based on first-principles calculations, the hole effective masses of K 2 Zn 3 S 4 are calculated to be as small as 0.425 me, revealing the potential remarkable transparent conductivity in this Zn-based chalcogenide.

In this work, graphite carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNS) with an average thickness of about 1 nm were prepared by stepwise stripping, after surface modification with Cu(II) cluster, which can be applied to construct photoelectrochemical sensors for p-nitrotoluene monitoring. In the detection process, Cu(II) can effectually expedite the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in CNNS, and significantly enhance photocurrent signals for the p-nitrotoluene sensing via the redox action of Cu(II)/Cu(I). More importantly, the change of photocurrent signal of the photoelectrochemical sensor (CNNS-Cu2% as the representative sample) presents a perfect linear relationship with the logarithm of p-nitrotoluene concentration in the range of 0.1–100 μmol L −1 . Therefore, the constructed CNNS-Cu2% photoelectrochemical sensor can be diffusely employed for the trace detection of p-nitrotoluene in the real-time monitoring of water environmental contaminants. This work supplies a novel insight to the better design and construction of efficient and durable photoelectrochemical sensors.

To improve the photocatalytic performance of Mn 0.6 Zn 0.4 Fe 2 O 4 (MZFO) and ZnIn 2 S 4 (ZIS) for organic pollutants, the p-n MZFO@ZIS heterojunctions with different weight percentage (10 ~ 40%) of MZFO are constructed from spent batteries and added indium ion via a green bioleaching and hydrothermal method. Structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties for the heterojunctions are investigated systematically by XRD, FT-IR, SEM–EDX, TEM, BET, VB-XPS, UV–vis DRS, PL, etc. The results confirm that p–n junction significantly improves the visible light adsorption and the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Specifically, MZFO-25%@ZIS shows the highest photodegradation performance toward Congo red (CR), and its reactive kinetic constant is about 9.6, 7.8, and 7.0 times higher than that of P25 TiO 2 , MZFO, and ZIS, respectively, and MZFO-25%@ZIS still possesses a high reusability and simple magnetic separation after 5 cycles of reuse. The radical trapping experiments and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests show that · O 2 − , · OH, and h + are the most important active substance for degrading CR. The pathways for the CR degradation are further proposed based on the intermediate analysis. DFT + U calculations confirm that the high charge density of Zn–O, Fe–O, and Zn–S bonds in the MZFO and ZIS molecules provides the electrons for the sufficient production of free radicals. This work also provides a novel high value-added strategy for the green utilization of spent batteries.

BiOI-loaded flower-like CeO 2 (BiOI/CeO 2 ) p-n heterojunction was synthesized via a simple two-step chemical route. The phase structure and chemical states of the heterojunction were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The transmission electron microscopic (TEM) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) reveal the close contact between BiOI and CeO 2 . The formation of the p-n heterojunction is verified by the Mott-Schottky curves. The p-type BiOI with a narrow band-gap when loaded on CeO 2 can not only improve the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs but also facilitate the absorption of visible light. The photo-oxidative removal efficiency of 9%BiOI/CeO 2 among other heterojunctions for NO reaches 45.49% and remains highly stable with an efficiency of 40.40% after the five cycles. Trapping experiments and ESR measurements were conducted to explore the contribution of charge carriers and the reactive oxygen species during the photocatalytic NO removal. This work highlights that constructing such p-n heterojunction by loading BiOI on CeO 2 microstructures can significantly enhance photocatalytic NO removal.

Magnetic nanofiller is helpful for improving the piezoelectric properties of P(VDF-TrFE)-based composites, which shows promising potential as a flexible sensor or energy harvester. In this work, we use the interaction between the magnetic nanofiller and magnetic field to modify the structure of CoFe2O4 (CFO)@polydopamine (PDA)/P(VDF-TrFE) composite, in which CFO@PDA works as the nanofiller into the P(VDF-TrFE) matrix. It was found that the magnetic field orientation during polymer curing can significantly increase the content of the β-phase and d33 of the composite. Regarding a typical composite film with 7 wt % CFO@PDA, the composite exhibits versatile sensing originated from the ball impact, hot-water droplet, bending, and pressing. In a noncontact magnetic field-driven experiment, the magnetic field oriented film produced the highest output voltages of 17.4 mV at 4 Hz and 12 mV at a drive amplitude of 19 Vpp, in contrast to the values of 7.1 mV and 7 mV for the film without magnetic field orientation, respectively. The LED without any charging capacitor can be instantaneously lighted through vertically pressing the oriented films. Thus, this work proposes a strategy of magnetic field orientation to improve the piezoelectric performance of the CFO@PDA/P(VDF-TrFE) multifunctional composite film.

Three-dimensional thermoelectric (TE) textiles (TETs) fabricated with TE filaments (TEFs) possess merits over other types such as thickness–direction thermal energy harvesting and excellent conformability with dynamic body curves, revealing the prospect of generating electricity for on-body application. Nonetheless, there is still a lack of a costless but scalable method to automatically and seamlessly produce in-series interconnected p–n segmented TEFs with high TE properties via conventional fiber spinning processes. Here, we developed an alternate wet-spinning strategy to continuously manufacture single-walled carbon nanotube-based p–n segmented TEFs at large scale. The TEF with high electrical conductivity (400–800 S cm–1) displays a low contact resistivity of 189.8 μΩ cm2 between the segments and interelectrode, showing 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that reported in the literature. More importantly, the power factors of p-type and n-type segments are 26.25 and 17.14 μW m–1 K–2, respectively, which are 3 and 4 orders of magnitude higher than those of advanced studies. We finally embroidered it into spacer fabric to fabricate a wearable TET, demonstrating an output power density of 501 nW m–2 at ΔT = 27.7 K. The methodology can inspire the development of fiber-based electronics such as wearable TEs and diodes and so forth.

Metal geometrical structure engineering of composite catalysts is powerful to boost their photocatalytic performance of hydrogen evolution . Herein, by rationally designing, transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have been loaded onto the P doped g-C 3 N 4 (PCN) to construct catalysts TMPs/PCN. For the first time, the effect of geometrical structure of TMPs on the photocatalytic activity is optimized and a geometrical-site-dependent photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is experimentally determined. Tri-metallic FeCoNiP/PCN, having 59.6% occupancy of tetrahedral cobalt sites, gives hydrogen production rate of 205 μmol/g/h, better than that of mono-metallic (FeP, CoP , NiP), bi-metallic (FeCoP, CoNiP, FeNiP) TMPs/PCN, and even much superior to that of Pt/b-g-C 3 N 4 and Pt/PCN. Trimetallic TMPs/PCN catalysts also show excellent OER performance. In addition to the efficient electron transfer between FeCoNiP and PCN, which can effectively improve the separation of photogenerated carriers, the high occupancy of tetrahedral cobalt sites of FeCoNiP as a co-catalyst promotes the formation of active intermediates, being the key to significantly improve the catalytic performance of ternary FeCoNiP/PCN. The findings in this work, especially about a link of the photocatalytic performance of TMPs/PCN composites and occupancy of tetrahedral cobalt site in co-catalysts TMPs, can open new occasion for creating novel composite catalysts and extending to other applications.
