文摘Zn-CO_(2)batteries(ZCBs)are promising for CO_(2)conversion and electric energy release.However,the ZCBs couple the electrochemical CO_(2)reduction(ECO_(2)R)with the oxygen evolution reaction and competitive hydrogen evolution reaction,which normally causes ultrahigh charge voltage and CO_(2)conversion efficiency attenuation,thereby resulting in~90%total power consumption.Herein,isolated FeN_(3)sites encapsulated in hierarchical porous carbon nanoboxes(Fe-HPCN,derived from the thermal activation process of ferrocene and polydopamine-coated cubic ZIF-8)were proposed for hydrazine-assisted rechargeable ZCBs based on ECO_(2)R(discharging process:CO_(2)+2H+→CO+H_(2)O)and hydrazine oxidation reaction(HzOR,charging process:N_(2)H_(4)+4OH−→N_(2)+4H_(2)O+4e^(−)).The isolated FeN_(3)endows the HzOR with a lower overpotential and boosts the ECO_(2)R with a 96%CO Faraday efficiency(FECO).Benefitting from the bifunctional ECO_(2)R and HzOR catalytic activities,the homemade hydrazine-assisted rechargeable ZCBs assembled with the Fe-HPCN air cathode exhibited an ultralow charge voltage(decreasing by~1.84 V),excellent CO selectivity(FECO close to 100%),and high 89%energy efficiency.In situ infrared spectroscopy confirmed that Fe-HPCN can generate rate-determining*N_(2)and*CO intermediates during HzOR and ECO_(2)R.This paper proposes FeN_(3)centers for bifunctional ECO_(2)R/HzOR performance and further presents the pioneering achievements of ECO_(2)R and HzOR for hydrazine-assisted rechargeable ZCBs.

文摘Recent interest in photocatalytic water splitting has intensified the demand in the development of photocatalysts capable of harnessing the full solar-spectrum.This study introduces a novel WO_(x)/ZnIn_(2)S_(4)Zscheme heterojunction,prepared by depositing ZnIn_(2)S_(4)(ZIS)nanosheets onto WO_(x)nanorods,enabling efficient photothermal-coupled photocatalytic H_(2)evolution.The success relies on the engineered oxygen vacancies within WO_(x)nanorods,which not only confer excellent photothermal properties lowering the reaction barrier but also create defect levels in WO_(x)facilitating Z-scheme electron transfer from these levels to the valence band of ZIS.Consequently,the optimized WO_(x)/ZIS heterojunction exhibits a remarkable H_(2)evolution rate of 33.91 mmol h^(-1)g^(-1)with an apparent quantum efficiency of 23.6%at 400 nm.This study provides a new strategy for developing efficient Z-scheme heterojunctions with broadspectrum solar hydrogen production capabilities.

文摘The expandable graphite(EG)modified TiO_(2) nanocomposites were prepared by the high shearmethod using the TiO_(2) nanoparticles(NPs)and EG as precursors,in which the amount of EG doped in TiO_(2) was 10 wt.%.Followed by the impregnation method,adjusting the pH of the solution to 10,and using the electrostatic adsorption to achieve spatial confinement,the Pt elementswere mainly distributed on the exposed TiO_(2),thus generating the Pt/10EG-TiO_(2)-10 catalyst.The best CO oxidation activity with the excellent resistance to H_(2)O and SO_(2) was obtained over the Pt/10EG-TiO_(2)-10 catalyst:CO conversion after 36 hr of the reaction was ca.85%under the harsh condition of 10 vol.%H_(2)O and 100 ppm SO_(2) at a high gaseous hourly space velocity(GHSV)of 400,000 hr−1.Physicochemical properties of the catalystswere characterized by various techniques.The results showed that the electrostatic adsorption,which riveted the Pt elements mainly on the exposed TiO_(2) of the support surface,reduced the dispersion of Pt NPs on EG and achieved the effective dispersion of Pt NPs,hence significantly improving CO oxidation activity over the Pt/10EG-TiO_(2)-10 catalyst.The 10 wt.%EG doped in TiO_(2) caused the TiO_(2) support to form a more hydrophobic surface,which reduced the adsorption of H_(2)O and SO_(2) on the catalyst,greatly inhibited deposition of the TiOSO_(4) and formation of the PtSO4 species as well as suppressed the oxidation of SO_(2),thus resulting in an improvement in the resistance to H_(2)O and SO_(2) of the Pt/10EG-TiO_(2)-10 catalyst.

文摘Monotonic pore size and particles inseparability of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)caused serious effects on its light absorption ability and charge separation,restricting its application for antibiotic such as levofloxacin(LEV)degradation in water.In this study,a magnetically detachable nano-photocatalyst(ZnFe_(2)O_(4)@MIL-88A(Fe))was synthesized using a simple two-step hydrothermal technique.The morphology and microstructure analyses showed that n-type ZnFe_(2)O_(4)catalyst particleswere efficiently assembled onto the surface of MIL-88A(Fe)crystal.Photocatalytic activity studies indicated that the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)@MIL-88A(Fe)plus H_(2)O_(2)exhibiting a significantly boosted photo-Fenton activity toward LEV at visible light irradiation,compared to the pure ZnFe_(2)O_(4)and MIL-88A(Fe),the degradation efficiency accordingly reached up to nearly 82%and 25%within 60 min.This excellent photocatalytic performance was ascribed to the synergistic effects of the heterogeneous structure of ZnFe_(2)O_(4)and MIL-88A(Fe),whereby the efficient separation of charge carriers in the catalytic system is mutually reinforced with the efficient reduction of Fe^(3+)and Fe^(2+).Meanwhile,the degradationmechanism and intermediates of LEV during the photo-Fenton reaction process were also studied in depth through free radical burst,electron paramagnetic resonance,and mass spectrometry analyses,etc.Additionally,the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)@MIL-88A(Fe)composite catalyst displayed significant stability and ease of separation,indicating potential for the photooxidative degradation of organic pollutants.

文摘The degradation of organic pollutants in water is a critical environmental challenge.The iron-doped MoS_(2) catalysts have demonstrated potential in activating peroxymonosulfate(PMS)for environmental remediation,but they face challenges such as poor conductivity,limited electron transfer efficiency,and a scarcity of active sites.To address these issues,we successfully synthesized a nano-flowers FeS/MoS_(2) composite derived from polyoxometalates(NH_(4))_(3)[Fe(III)Mo_(6)O_(24)H_(6)]⋅6H_(2)O(denoted as FeMo6)as the bimetallic precursors.This synthesis strategy enhances the interaction between FeS and MoS_(2),thereby facilitating electron transfer.Notably,the introduction of sulfur vacancies in FeS/MoS_(2) exposes additional Mo4t active sites,promoting the redox cycle of Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+) and accelerating the regeneration of Fe^(2+),which in turn enhances PMS activation.Therefore,a catalytic oxidation system of FeS/MoS_(2)/PMS is presented that primarily relies on SO_(4)^(⋅-)and⋅OH,with ^(1)O_(2) as a supplementary oxidant.This system exhibits exceptional degradation efficiency for p-chlorophenol(4-CP),achieving 100% degradation within 10 min over a wide pH range of 2.4–8.4.The robust performance and wide applicability of FeS/MoS_(2) catalyst make it a promising candidate in advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)for environmental remediation.
文摘Selective reduction of N_(2)O by CO under excess O_(2) was effectively catalyzed by Fe(0.9 wt%)-exchangedβzeolite(Fe0.9β)in the temperature range of 250–500°C.Kinetic experiments showed that the apparent activation energy for N_(2)O reduction with CO was lower than that for the direct N_(2)O decomposition,and the rate of N_(2)O reduction with CO at 300℃ was 16 times higher than that for direct N_(2)O decomposition.Reaction order analyses showed that CO and N_(2)O were involved in the kinetically important step,while O_(2) was not involved in the important step.At 300℃,the rate of CO oxidation with 0.1%N_(2)O was two times higher than that of CO oxidation with 10%O_(2).This quantitatively demonstrates the preferential oxidation of CO by N_(2)O under excess O_(2) over Fe0.9β.Operando/in-situ diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy showed a redox-based catalytic cycle;α-Fe-O species are reduced by CO to give CO_(2) and reduced Fe species,which are then re-oxidized by N_(2)O to regenerate theα-Fe-O species.The initial rate for the regeneration ofα-Fe-O species under 0.1%N_(2)O was four times higher than that under 10%O_(2).This result shows quantitative evidence on the higher reactivity of N_(2)O than O_(2) for the regeneration ofα-Fe-O intermediates,providing a fundamental reason why the Fe0.9βcatalyst selectively promotes the CO+N_(2)O reaction under excess O_(2) rather than the undesired side reaction of CO+O_(2).The mechanistic model was verified by the results of in-situ Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

文摘As a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries,1T-MoS_(2)has been extensively investigated because of its facile two-dimensional ion-diffusion channels and high electrical conductivity.However,the limited number of available Zn storage sites,i.e.,limited capacity,hinders its application because the inserted Zn^(2+),which form strong electrostatic interactions with 1T-MoS_(2),preventing subsequent Zn^(2+)insertion.Currently,the approach of enlarging the interlayer distance to reduce electrostatic interactions has been commonly used to enhance the capacity and reduce Zn^(2+)migration barriers.However,an enlarged interlayer spacing can weaken the van der Waals force between 1T-MoS_(2)monolayers,easily disrupting the structural stability.Herein,to address this issue,an effective strategy based on Fe doping is proposed for 1T-MoS_(2)(Fe-1T-MoS_(2)).The theoretical calculations reveal that Fe doping can simultaneously moderate the rate of decrease in the adsorption energy after gradually increasing the number of stored atoms,and enhance the electron delocalization on metal-O bonds.Therefore,the experiment results show that Fe doping can simultaneously activate more Zn storage sites,thus enhancing the capacity,and stabilize the structural stability for improved cycling performance.Consequently,Fe-1T-MoS_(2)exhibits a larger capacity(189 mAh·g^(-1)at 0.1 A·g^(-1))and superior cycling stability(78%capacity retention after 400 cycles at 2 A·g^(-1))than pure 1T-MoS_(2).This work may open up a new avenue for constructing high-performance MoS_(2)-based cathodes.

文摘The response of N_(2)O emissions to nitrogen(N)addition is usually positive,but its response to phosphorus(P)addition varies,and the underlying mechanisms for the changes in N_(2)O emissions remain unclear.We conducted field studies to examine the response of N_(2)O emissions to N and P addition over two years in three typical alpine grasslands,alpine meadow(AM),alpine steppe(AS),and alpine cultivated grassland(CG)on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau(QTP).Our results showed consistent increases in N_(2)O emissions under N addition alone or with P addition,and insignificant change in N_(2)O emissions under P addition alone in all three grasslands.N addition increased N_(2)O emissions directly in AM,by lowering soil pH in AS,and by lowering abundance of denitrification genes in CG.N and P co-addition increased N_(2)O emissions in AM and AS but only showed an interactive effect in AM.P addition enhanced the increase in N_(2)O emissions caused by N addition mainly by promoting plant growth in AM.Overall,our results illustrate that short-term P addition cannot alleviate the stimulation of N_(2)O emissions by N deposition in alpine grassland ecosystems,and may even further stimulate N_(2)O emissions.
