The earth-abundant magnesium resource and aqueous electrolyte make aqueous magnesium-ion batteries (AMIBs) a promising post-lithium-ion battery technology to synchronously address cost and safety concerns. Nonetheless, the freeze issue of aqueous electrolytes is curbing the development of AMIBs working at low-temperature conditions. Here, we report an MgCl 2 solution having a great low-temperature property via anion and concentration adjustment, which roots in the variation of the pristine hydrogen bond reticulation. Consequently, a 4 M MgCl 2 aqueous electrolyte endows a low freezing point (−62 °C) as well as ultra-high ionic conductivity (2.77 mS/cm at −50 °C). By using 4 M MgCl 2 as an electrolyte, the MnO 2 //VO 2 battery is capable of working in a wide temperature range from +25 to −50 °C, achieving a high discharge capacity of 97.9 mAh/g (0.1 A/g) and a high cycling capability of 1000 cycles (∼90 % capacity retention at −20 °C). Furthermore, MgCl 2 can be well compatible with polyacrylamide into an outstanding hydrogel electrolyte (in terms of mechanical property, anti-freeze performance, and high ionic conductivity) for a flexible quasi-solid-state MIBs application. The assembled flexible device attains appealing electrochemical properties across a broad temperature region, while the constructed pouch cell demonstrates superior flexibility and reliable safety. Our current exploration depicts an expeditious but productive paradigm for devising the high-performing AMIBs for low-temperature energy storage sectors.

The development of microwave absorption materials with good environmental adaptability is a hot topic in the electromagnetic protection field. In this research, Expanded graphite (EG)/ZIF-67 nanocubes-derived (Co@C) composites were successfully fabricated by electrostatic assembly and subsequent heat treatment. The results show that the involvement of an appropriate content of Co@C not only overcomes the problem of single EG impedance mismatch but also introduces additional magnetic loss for the absorber. At the thicknesses of 1.6 mm and 1.5 mm, an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.52 GHz and a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −48.4 dB were achieved for the Z2-700 sample with a low filling ratio (20 wt%). The enhancement of EMW-absorption performance is attributed to the optimization of impedance matching and the synergistic action between multiple loss mechanisms. Electrochemical corrosion test showed that graphite nanoflakes of EG enhanced the transfer resistance during corrosion, and the corrosion resistance of pure Co@C was enhanced with the protection of EG. This work provides a reasonable attempt to design and fabricate efficient microwave absorption materials suitable for harsh environments.

Alumina aerogels are desirable for lightweight and highly efficient thermal insulation. However, they are typically constrained by brittleness and structural collapse at high temperatures. The manufacture of alumina aerogels with ultralow thermal conductivity and excellent thermal stability at high temperatures beyond 1300 °C is still challenging. Herein, alumina aerogels with superior ultrahigh-temperature-resistant and thermal insulation were successfully prepared by assembling the α-Al2O3 nanosheets with silica sols as the high-temperature binders. Benefiting from the generation of the mullite-covered alumina biphasic structure, the α-Al2O3 nanosheet-based aerogels (ANSAs) exhibit excellent thermal and chemical stabilities even after calcination at as high as 1600 °C. The ANSAs had a low thermal conductivity (0.029 W·m–1·K–1 at room temperature), structural stability with a measured compressive strength of 0.6 MPa, and good thermal shock resistance. Furthermore, the 2D α-alumina@mullite core–shell sheets were also prepared as assembly units to construct aerogels (AMSAs). This core–shell structure can improve temperature resistance through inter-lattice suppression under continuous energy input at high temperatures. The AMSAs have a linear shrinkage of only 2.7% after calcination at 1600 °C for 30 min, further improving the temperature resistance, making them an ideal super-insulating material for applications at extremely high temperatures.

High-toughness Al 2 O 3 –Ti(C,N) composites reinforced by cBN particles were prepared by the new oscillating pressure sintering technique. The density, phase, and microstructure evolution of the Al 2 O 3 –Ti(C,N)-cBN composites sintered at different temperatures were studied, and their effects on the mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that when the sintering temperature increases from 1300 to 1500°C, the heat preservation time shortens, whereas the density and interface bonding strength of the composites increase. In addition, cBN particles can play the role of crack bridging and be pulled out when the composites fracture, improving the toughness of the Al 2 O 3 –Ti(C,N)–cBN composites. However, when the sintering temperature further rises to 1600°C, a new phase of TiB 2 forms, and the solid solubility of C and N in Ti(C,N) increases, leading to a decrease in density and mechanical properties. As a result, when the Al 2 O 3 –Ti(C,N)–cBN composite is sintered at 1500°C, its mechanical properties reach the maximum values of 21.5 GPa, 5.7 MPa m 1/2 , and 731 MPa for hardness, fracture toughness, and flexural strength, respectively.

C–N bond breaking is a difficult but crucial step in the quinoline removal of coal-based liquids. Noble metal catalysts have higher C–N bond breaking activity, but their surface bond breaking mechanism is unclear. Atomic layer deposition creates more metal-oxide sites and generates different active species, which facilitates the mechanism study. For this reason, we used atomic layer deposition to deposit TiO 2 on the catalyst surface and suggested a more complete C–N bond breaking mechanism in this study. The particle size and pore structure of the catalyst did not change significantly after the deposition, and the hydrogen adsorption was reduced when there were too many layers deposited and the surface Pt sites were occupied to a high degree. TiO 2 is extremely susceptible to reduction to Ti 3+ under hydrogen, and can change the nature of the electron density of Pt through oxygen vacancies, creating Ti 3+ -Pt δ− sites that are prone to protonation reactions. That means, the occurrence of these protonation reactions not only easily breaks the C–N bond, but also accelerates the rate of C–N bond cleavage due to the increased H coverage on the surface of the xcTi-PtAl catalysts. And the Ti 3+ -Pt δ− sites in catalyst had a stronger adsorption effect on the nitrogen-containing compounds, which in turn lowered the energy barriers of bond cleavage. It is concluded that protonation is a necessary step before the C–N bond can be broken. The subsequent steps were showed by the DFT calculations that the nitrogen-containing compounds adsorbed on the Ti 3+ -Pt δ− sites undergo β-H fracture after the protonation reaction, with the elimination reaction cleaving the C–N bond. The xcTi-PtAl catalysts by atomic layer deposition of Ti not only improve the C–N bond breaking performance, but also improve bond breaking stability by a factor of four compared to the Pt/Al 2 O 3 catalysts.

Sensitive detections of nitrite (NO 2 - ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), bromate (BrO 3 - ) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) have very important significance in different fields. Herein, Pt-doped FeP-C hollow nanorod was fabricated by a controllable etching and in-situ carbonating procedure. Then, a modified electrode (Nafion/Hb/Pt-FeP-C/CILE) was constructed by dropping Pt-FeP-C, hemoglobin (Hb) and Nafion membrane on carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE). Benefitting from the synergistic effects of Pt NPs and FeP-C, Pt-FeP-C provides a favorable biocompatible microenvironment for Hb attachment with enhanced catalytic performance. Electroanalysis of NO 2 - , H 2 O 2 , BrO 3 - and TCA were realized in the detection range from 0.2 to 7.0 mmol·L -1 , 0.3 to 7.0 mmol L -1 , 0.76 to 7.0 mmol·L -1 , 5.0 to 900.0 mmol L -1 , and the detection limits were 0.07 mmol L -1 , 0.1 mmol L -1 , 0.25 mmol L -1 and 1.67 mmol L -1 , respectively. The real samples were further analyzed with satisfactory results.

Selenides possess more electroactive unsaturated edge sites and superior redox activity, due to larger ionic radius together with low electronegativity of Se in comparation with sulfur and oxygen. However, mono-metallic selenides still suffer from the intrinsic limitations of low conductivity and electrochemical activity, which hinders their application in electrochemical sensor . Benefiting from the synergistic effects , bimetallic selenides exhibit relatively high electrical conductivity and electrochemical property. Moreover, heterostructure engineering is identified as an ingenious technology to endow materials with desired functions for developing high performance devices. Herein, a carbon-encapsulated bimetallic selenides (Bi 2 Se 3 -FeSe 2 @C) composite with lateral layered heterostructure was synthesized and employed as electrode material for electrochemical biosensing. The formed few-layered Bi 2 Se 3 -FeSe 2 @C lateral heterostructure with a large surface area possesses superb electrochemical properties and abundant immobilized sites toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The robust AChE-NF/Bi 2 Se 3 -FeSe 2 @C/GCE biosensor exhibited promising monocrotophos detection performance along with high sensitivity, a wide linear range (10 −5 ∼10 µg mL −1 ) and low limit of detection (1.51 ×10 −13 M).

Detection of vitamin C (VC) is necessary because of its wide use in chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical engineering. Here, we describe a sensing system for the determination of VC. Instead of a bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE), a prepared multi-walled carbon nanotube-polycation-GCE was used to detect VC in samples with higher sensitivity, better repeatability, and with a lower detection limit. Under the optimal conditions, the obtained sensor presented a linear response to VC in the range of 1–100 μM with a detection limit of 500 nM. The proposed electrode also successfully detected VC concentrations in real samples.

The performance of an electrochemiluminescent reagent directly affects the performance of its corresponding electrochemiluminescent (ECL) sensor. In this study, Fe/Zn-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid metal–organic framework@C-dots (Fe/Zn-BTC@C-dots), which consist of a nano-loaded carbon quantum dot material with an excellent luminescence performance, were synthesised for the first time. Subsequently, they were used to modify the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, and combined with a single-chain thiamethoxam DNA aptamer to construct a biosensor. A novel method for the detection of thiamethoxam was established based on control of the excellent luminescence signal of the Fe/Zn-BTC@C-dots by specific recognition of the aptamer by the target molecule (a signal switch). Upon capturing thiamethoxam, the electrochemical luminescence intensity of the sensor was quenched. The ability of Fe/Zn-BTC to effectively catalyse and amplify the electrochemical luminescence of the C-dots significantly improved the sensitivity of the sensor, while the specific recognition of the target by the aptamer imparted the sensor with an excellent selection ability. Such an advanced approach is promising for the detection of thiamethoxam, with a linear range of 5–5000 × 10 −11 mol/L and a sensitivity of 9.81 × 10 −12 mol/L being achieved. Moreover, the sensor exhibited recovery rates of 90.5–109.3% upon the detection of thiamethoxam in actual samples.

Over-consumption of limited fossil fuels has caused serious environmental pollution and a global energy crisis, threatening human life and biodiversity. As an ideal, environmentally friendly renewable energy, hydrogen can satisfy human clean energy requirements. Therefore, whether hydrogen can be catalytically generated in the wastewater treatment process is a highly meaningful investigation. Herein, Bi 2 Te 3 /Te/C heterojunction nanowires with high specific surface area and rich pore structure were successfully synthesized. The efficient catalytic degradation process is accompanied by the generation of hydrogen. The catalytic degradation of methylene blue and methyl orange was achieved in less than 20 s and 150 s, respectively. Meanwhile, in scaled-up degradation/hydrogen production experiments, fast and efficient H 2 production from NaBH 4 can be realized in the presence of Bi 2 Te 3 /Te/C nanowires. The mechanism of efficient synergistic organic dye degradation and hydrogen production is due to the efficient carrier transfers and accumulation at the hetero-interface. In contrast to previous work, rapid degradation of organic dyes and hydrogen production by decomposition of NaBH 4 were achieved without the help of high-cost catalysts such as precious metals. This work could provide an alternative pathway for the future degradation of organic matter in synergistic heterogeneous catalytic wastewater and recovery of by-products including hydrogen.

Developing new catalysts for efficient degradation of micropollutants in water is of significant importance in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Herein, TiO 2 /C coated Co 3 O 4 nanocages (Co 3 O 4 @TiO 2 /C) were synthesized and their performance on micropollutants degradation was evaluated. Specifically, cobalt-based Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) coated by a thin layer of titanium species and polydopamine (PDA) was used as a precursor for the preparation of Co 3 O 4 @TiO 2 /C by two-step calcination. The catalytic performance of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation towards the degradation of organic pollutants was investigated by using atrazine (ATZ) and Bisphenol A (BPA) as typical micropollutants. The efficiency and the effect of TiO 2 /C shell on the as-synthesized catalyst were analyzed by comparing Co 3 O 4 derived from ZIF-67 and Co 3 O 4 /C derived from ZIF-67/PDA. ATZ degradation results showed that the Co 3 O 4 @TiO 2 /C catalyst was the most efficient for catalytic oxidation when 99.5% of ATZ was removed within 4 min, which is 57.5% and 74.6% faster than that of Co 3 O 4 @C and Co 3 O 4 , respectively. The enhanced performance of Co 3 O 4 @TiO 2 /C is attributed to their unique nanocages structure and improved specific surface area. The catalysis mechanisms and ATZ degradation pathways were presented based on the results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), XPS, and LC-MS analysis. Our results might have added to the design of heterogeneous catalysts of large surface area for efficient PMS activation in AOPs.

In this study, a series of V 2 (Al 1−x Ga x )C microrods are synthesized for the first time in a molten salt system using short carbon fibers as carbon source and sacrificial template. The phase components, structural characteristics, and microwave absorption performance of as-prepared V 2 (Al 1−x Ga x )C microrods are systematically investigated. The calculated lattice distortion degree results confirm that the phase structure, grain boundary density, and internal stress of V 2 (Al 1−x Ga x )C microrods can be effectively modulated by controlling the doping amount of gallium element. The synergistic effects of dielectric loss, magnetic loss, multiple reflection and scattering afford the V 2 (Al 1−x Ga x )C microrods with enhanced microwave absorption intensity and bandwidth. Specifically, V 2 (Al 0.5 Ga 0.5 )C microrod displays a minimum RL value of − 55.62 dB at 12.00 GHz, and the broadest EAB could reach 4.16 GHz with a thickness of 1.75 mm. Compared with the M sites doped MAX phases, A sites doped V 2 (Al 1−x Ga x )C exhibit more excellent electromagnetic energy attenuation capacities.
