Al is considered as a promising lithium-ion battery (LIBs) anode materials owing to its high theoretical capacity and appropriate lithation/de-lithation potential. Unfortunately, its inevitable volume expansion causes the electrode structure instability, leading to poor cyclic stability. What’s worse, the natural Al 2 O 3 layer on commercial Al pellets is always existed as a robust insulating barrier for electrons, which brings the voltage dip and results in low reversible capacity. Herein, this work synthesized core–shell Al@C–Sn pellets for LIBs by a plus-minus strategy. In this proposal, the natural Al 2 O 3 passivation layer is eliminated when annealing the pre-introduced SnCl 2 , meanwhile, polydopamine-derived carbon is introduced as dual functional shell to liberate the fresh Al core from re-oxidization and alleviate the volume swellings. Benefiting from the addition of C–Sn shell and the elimination of the Al 2 O 3 passivation layer, the as-prepared Al@C–Sn pellet electrode exhibits little voltage dip and delivers a reversible capacity of 1018.7 mAh·g −1 at 0.1 A·g −1 and 295.0 mAh·g −1 at 2.0 A·g −1 (after 1000 cycles), respectively. Moreover, its diffusion-controlled capacity is muchly improved compared to those of its counterparts, confirming the well-designed nanostructure contributes to the rapid Li-ion diffusion and further enhances the lithium storage activity.

Ammonia (NH 3 ) is not only a harmful gas to environmental problem, but also a fundamental raw material in chemical industry. The effective separation and recovery of NH 3 from exhaust gas at low cost still remains a challenge for a long time. In this study, a new strategy to construct protic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) by paring NH 4 SCN as hydrogen-bond acceptor with various hydrogen-bond donors [glycerol (G), ethylene glycol (EG), urea (U), acetamide (AT), and caprolactam (CL)] was proposed for efficient and reversible absorption of NH 3 . Results showed that all the DESs possessed exceptional NH 3 absorption capacity and high NH 3 /CO 2 selectivity. At 303 K and 0.10 MPa, the absorption capacity of NH 3 in NH 4 SCN-glycerol (2:3) is as high as 0.223 g NH 3 per g DES, which is much higher than all reported functional ILs and DESs up to date. The NH 3 saturated DES was easily regenerated and recycled 25 times with persistent absorption performance. The influences of DES composition, temperature, NH 3 partial pressure on NH 3 absorption performance were also explored in detail. The absorption mechanism was analyzed using NMR spectroscopy and quantum calculation. These protic NH 4 SCN-based DESs presented as promising absorbents for NH 3 because of their high absorption capacity and good reversibility.

In this work, LiBH 4 –20 wt% PP composite was prepared by ball-milling with as-synthesized hierarchical pyrolysis polyaniline (PP) and LiBH 4 , and the hydrogen sorption performance as well as catalytic mechanism of the composite was studied. It is found that the onset desorption temperature of the composite decreases to 75 °C, almost 235 °C lower than that of the milled LiBH 4 . Moreover, the composite could release 4.1 wt% H 2 and rehydrogenate a total of 4.4 wt% H 2 when the temperature raiseds up to 400 °C, showing an outstanding reversibility, which even 3.9 wt% H 2 can be kept after five cycles. Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, we found that the PP surface forms some nanoholes after hydrogenation-dehydrogenation cycles, which leads to the confinement of some LiBH 4 in the PP nanoporous structure, therefore, the hydrogen sorption kinetics and reversibility are significantly enhanced. In addition, we also found the oxygenic groups of the PP can react with LiBH 4 forming LiBO 2 and Li 3 BO 3 , where the containing Li–B–O bonds loaded in the porous structure of the PP catalyze the hydrogenation reaction of LiBH 4 .

Metallic zinc (Zn), featuring high specific capacity, low redox potential, and low cost, is a promising anode material for next-generation rechargeable aqueous batteries. However, Zn anodes suffer from the dendrite formation and side reactions during the plating/stripping process, which severely hinder their practical applications. To simultaneously address these issues, we create a hierarchical porous framework by electroless plating a conformal nanoporous tin (Sn) layer on a copper (Cu) mesh as a host (NSH) for the Zn anode. Both experimental and numerical results reveal that the newly developed NSH offers abundant Zn nucleation sites, homogenizes both the ion flux and electric field at the electrode surface, and suppresses side reactions with the high hydrogen evolution reaction overpotential of Sn, thus leading to dendrite-free Zn deposition and a highly reversible plating/stripping process. As a result, the asymmetric Zn||NSH cell achieves a coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.0% for over 200 cycles at 2 mA cm −2 . The cell with the pristine Cu mesh host (PCH), in comparison, exhibits a CE of 97.7% and suffers from short-circuits after 50 cycles. Moreover, the Zn@NSH anode enables the Zn-MnO 2 full cell to deliver a high capacity of 164 mAh g −1 and maintain a retention rate of 86.2% after 1200 cycles at 1 A g −1 . By contrast, the capacity of the cell with the Zn@PCH anode decays to 55.2 mAh g −1 after 800 cycles, corresponding to a retention rate of 38.1%. This work opens a new avenue to develop advanced three-dimensional Zn metal anodes for high-performance rechargeable aqueous batteries.

Aqueous zinc-ion battery is a low-cost, non-toxic, and high-safety energy storage system , which has received extensive attention in recent years. However, the Zn anode with high theoretical capacity often suffers from severe corrosion and dendrite growth during the Zn plating/stripping process, leading to severe polarization and eventually short circuits. These knotty problems severely impede further practical applications of Zn-based batteries . Herein, a robust and homogeneous metallic tin (Sn) coating is in situ built on the surface of Zn to form Zn|Sn by a facile chemical vapor deposition method to enhance reaction reversibility. The as-prepared Sn coating not only affords more robust nucleation sites of Zn and higher hydrogen evolution reaction potential, but also effectively decreases the nucleation overpotential of Zn. Accordingly, the symmetric cells with Zn|Sn anode can stably maintain an extremely low-voltage hysteresis (50 mV) in a 500 h of plating/stripping cycles. Even at a high current density of 50 mA cm −2 , the symmetric Zn|Sn cell still can operate well for 50 h. Moreover, this stable Zn|Sn anode also enables a full Zn-ion battery with outstanding rate and cyclic stability.

A simple and efficient chemosensor 1 was synthesized by reacting thiosemicarbazide with 1-naphthaldehyde. It was found that the sensor is highly selective toward fluoride anions in both UV–vis and fluorescence channels in DMSO solution. Especially, the spectral responses of the sensor along with a visible color change can be switched back and forth by successively adding F − and HSO 4 − anions into the DMSO solution, which may be represented by a complementary “IMPLICATION/INHIBIT” logic gate at molecular level employing both the ions as the chemical inputs. Based on such a reversible and reproducible sensing system, we designed a molecular-scale sequential memory unit displaying “Writing-Reading-Erasing-Reading” and “Multi-write” functions in the form of binary logic.

Inspired by rose petals, a novel and facile method to prepare smart surface with controllable wettability for transfer and patterned storage of droplets was presented. The smart surface was obtained by alternately depositing PDDA and PSS on a copper substrate with mastoid structure prepared by laser processing. It was found that the wettability of the as-prepared copper surface can switch reversibly between superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic state. In addition, the as-prepared surface had excellent physical and chemical stability. In theory, our droplet storage platform can be processed into any size and shape to achieve different requirements for droplet storage. This study provides a simple route to fabricate bioinspired rewritable platform with reversibly switchable wettability for lossless transfer and patterned storage of droplets. It may be helpful for the development of the devices for droplet transfer and functionalized droplet storage. This method can also be applied to biodetection, microfluidic switching, and chemical microreaction.

In this study, the porous bamboo material (DB) was obtained by removing the intercalated substance between the fibers through a simple delignification process, and was used as support matrix by impregnating a reversible thermochromic compound (BP: BPA: TD) to prepare a shape-stable bamboo-based composite reversible thermochromic phase change material (TBB-DB). Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of bamboo and DB showed that lignin was removed from bamboo by the delignification process. The open porous structure founded in scanning electron microscopy micrographs allows the rapid impregnation of TBB to achieve reversible thermochromic and phase change storage properties. The reduction in surface roughness and contact angle leads to an increase in the hydrophilicity of the DB for the subsequent impregnation of the TBB into the porous structure of DB. DB also showed good mechanical properties and thermodynamic stability. The effects of different proportions of the color developer and the solvent in the compound TBB on the reversible thermochromic and phase change energy storage properties of TBB-DB were investigated. TBB-DB1:4:50 showed a better reversible thermochromic properties and energy storage properties (the highest latent heat, favorable melting and crystallization temperatures). As for TBB-DB1:4:50, the FTIR, XRD, thermal stability analysis showed that there is no chemical reaction occurred during the entire impregnation process, which is conductive to the reversible thermochromic phase change energy storage characteristics of TBB-DB1:4:50. The color of TBB-DB1:4:50 changed from rose red to white as the temperature increased. Compared with DB, TBB-DB1:4:50 showed endothermic and exothermic peaks, and its ΔH m and ΔH L+S were 113.5 J g −1 and 109.8 J g −1 , respectively, indicating that TBB1:4:50 was well impregnated into DB to form a composite phase change material. TBB-DB1:4:50 also has good durability, making it able to withstand long-term recycling and maintain the original excellent performance.

Five quinoline derivatives containing different alkyl chains ( QLACn , n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 12) were synthesized to investigate the effect of alkyl chains on their photophysical properties. The fluorescent properties of the QLACn were affected by the alkyl chains, which indicated obvious blue-shifting trend and fluorescence emission are alkyl chains length-dependent by grinding-induced spectral shifts (Δλ MFC ). Longer alkyl-length revealed larger Δλ MFC . Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicated that the transformation between microcrystalline and amorphous states upon external stimuli should be responsible for the observed reversible MFC behavior.

The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (RATRP) of acrylonitrile (AN) was carried out in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with AIBN as initiator, FeCl3•6H2O/triphenylphosphine (PPh3) and FeCl3•6H2O/pentamethyldle-thylenetrlamlne (PMDETA) as catalytic systems, respectively. Effect of reaction time and initiator concentration on polymerization rate, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution were investigated in detail. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HNMR) were employed to analyze the chain end of the PAN. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was applied to measure the molecular weight and polydispersity index (PDI) of PAN. The polymerization demonstrated a typical pseudo first-order kinetics characteristics as evidenced by the number-average molecular weights (Mn) increasing linearly with monomer conversion; the Mn decreasing with the increasing of the initiator concentration. Meanwhile, the low PDI value (<1.2) indicated the controllability of polymerization.

Na-ion batteries (NIBs) are regarding as the optimum complement for Li-ion batteries along with the rapid development of stationary energy storage systems. In order to meet the commercial demands of cathodes for NIBs, O3-type Cu containing layered oxide Na0.90Cu0.22Fe0.30Mn0.48O2 with good comprehensive performance and low-cost element components is very promising for the practical use. However, only part of the Cu3+/Cu2+ redox couple participated in the redox reaction, thus impairing the specific capacity of the cathode materials. Herein, Mg2+-doped O3-Na0.90Mg0.08Cu0.22Fe0.30Mn0.40O2 layered oxide without Mn3+ was synthesized successfully, which exhibited improved reversible specific capacity of 118 mAh/g in the voltage range of 2.4–4.0 V at 0.2 C, corresponding to the intercalation/deintercalation of 0.47 Na+ (0.1 more than that of Na0.90Cu0.22Fe0.30Mn0.48O2). This work demonstrates an important strategy to obtain advanced layered oxide cathodes for NIBs.
