文摘Succinonitrile(SN)-based polymer plastic crystal electrolytes(PPCEs)are regarded as promising candidates for lithium metal batteries but suffer from serious side reactions with Li metal.Herein,we propose a multi-dimensional optimization strategy to alleviate the side reactions between SN and Li metal,and develop a highly stable poly-vinylethylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VEC).Moreover,we identify the intrinsic factors of multi-dimensional polymer structures on the electrolyte stability by three typical classes of polyesters.The PPCE-VEC constructed by in situ polymerization exhibits much better stability than poly-vinylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VCA)and poly-trifluoroethyl acrylate-based PPCE(PPCE-TFA),which is verified by its fewer SN-decomposition species in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and outstanding full cell performance.The PPCE-VEC-enabled LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)full cell achieve 73.7%capacity retention after 1400 cycles,which outperforms PPCE-VCA-and PPCE-TFA-enabled full cells(61.9%and 46.9%).Spectral analysis and theoretical calculation reveal that the high solvation ability of the carbonyl site,flexible polymer chain,and homogeneous electrolyte phase of PPCE-VEC are favorable to maximizing competition coordination with Li^(+)to weaken the Li^(+)–SN binding and shape an anion-rich solvation structure.This optimized polymer-involved Li^(+)solvation enhances SN stability and facilitates the formation of B/F enriched solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI),thus significantly improving PPCE stability.

文摘Lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries require efficient catalysts to accelerate polysulfide conversion and mitigate the shuttle effect.However,the rational design of catalysts remains challenging due to the lack of a systematic strategy that rationally optimizes electronic structures and mesoscale transport properties.In this work,we propose an autogenously transformed CoWO_(4)/WO_(2) heterojunction catalyst,integrating a strong polysulfide-adsorbing intercalation catalyst with a metallic-phase promoter for enhanced activity.CoWO_(4) effectively captures polysulfides,while the CoWO_(4)/WO_(2) interface facilitates their S-S bond activation on heterogenous catalytic sites.Benefiting from its directional intercalation channels,CoWO_(4) not only serves as a dynamic Li-ion reservoir but also provides continuous and direct pathways for rapid Li-ion transport.Such synergistic interactions across the heterojunction interfaces enhance the catalytic activity of the composite.As a result,the CoWO_(4)/WO_(2) heterostructure demonstrates significantly enhanced catalytic performance,delivering a high capacity of 1262 mAh g^(−1) at 0.1 C.Furthermore,its rate capability and high sulfur loading performance are markedly improved,surpassing the limitations of its single-component counterparts.This study provides new insights into the catalytic mechanisms governing Li-S chemistry and offers a promising strategy for the rational design of high-performance Li-S battery catalysts.

文摘The von Neumann bottleneck in conventional computing architectures presents a significant challenge for data-inten-sive artificial intelligence applications.A promising approach involves designing specialized hardware with on-chip parameter tunability,which directly accelerates machine learning functions.This work demonstrates a continuously tunable mixed-kernel function physically realized within a van der Waals heterostructure.We designed and fabricated a MoTe_(2)/MoS_(2)type-Ⅱvertical heterojunction phototransistor,which exhibits a non-monotonic,Gaussian-like optoelectronic response owing to its unique inter-layer charge transfer mechanism.This intrinsic physical behavior directly maps to a mixed-kernel function combining Gaussian and Sigmoid characteristics.Furthermore,the hardware kernel can be continuously modulated by in-situ tuning of external opti-cal stimuli.The mixed-kernel exhibited exceptional performance,achieving precision,accuracy,and area under the curve(AUC)values of 95.8%,96%,and 0.9986,respectively,significantly outperforming conventional kernels.By successfully embedding a complex,adaptable mathematical function into the intrinsic physical properties of a single device,this work pioneers a novel pathway toward next-generation,energy-efficient intelligent systems with hardware-level adaptability.

文摘Photo-assisted lithium–sulfur batteries(PALSBs)offer an eco-friendly solution to address the issue of sluggish reaction kinetics of conventional LSBs.However,designing an efficient photoelectrode for practical implementation remains a significant challenge.Herein,we construct a free-standing polymer–inorganic hybrid photoelectrode with a direct Z-scheme heterostructure to develop high-efficiency PALSBs.Specifically,polypyrrole(PPy)is in situ vapor-phase polymerized on the surface of N-doped TiO_(2) nanorods supported on carbon cloth(N-TiO_(2)/CC),thereby forming a well-defined p–n heterojunction.This architecture efficiently facilitates the carrier separation of photo-generated electron–hole pairs and significantly enhances carrier transport by creating a built-in electric field.Thus,the PPy@N-TiO_(2)/CC can simultaneously act as a photocatalyst and an electrocatalyst to accelerate the reduction and evolution of sulfur,enabling ultrafast sulfur redox dynamics,as convincingly validated by both theoretical simulations and experimental results.Consequently,the PPy@N-TiO_(2)/CC PALSB achieves a high discharge capacity of 1653 mAh g^(−1),reaching 98.7%of the theoretical value.Furthermore,5 h of photo-charging without external voltage enables the PALSB to deliver a discharge capacity of 333 mAh g^(−1),achieving dual-mode energy harvesting capabilities.This work successfully integrates solar energy conversion and storage within a rechargeable battery system,providing a promising strategy for sustainable energy storage technologies.

文摘Converting CO_(2) into methanol(CH_(3)OH),a high-value-added liquid-phase product,through efficient and highly selective photocatalysis remains a significant challenge.Herein,we present a straightforward cation exchange strategy for the in-situ growth of BiVO_(4) on an InVO_(4) substrate to generate a Z-scheme heterojunction of InVO_(4)/BiVO_(4) .This in-situ partial transformation approach endows the InVO_(4)/BiVO_(4) heterojunction with a tightly connected interface,resulting in a significant improvement in charge separation efficiency between InVO_(4) and BiVO_(4).Moreover,the construction of the heterojunction reduces the formation energy barrier of the ^(*)COOH intermediate during the photoreduction of CO_(2) and increases the desorption energy barrier of the ^(*)CO intermediate,facilitating the deep reduction of ^(*)CO.Consequently,the InVO_(4)/BiVO_(4) heterojunction is capable of photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction to CH_(3)OH with high efficiency and selectivity.Under conditions where water serves as the electron source and a light intensity of 100 m W/cm^(2),the yield of CH_(3)OH reaches 130.5 μmol g^(-1)h^(-1) with a selectivity of 92 %,outperforming photocatalysts reported under similar conditions.

文摘This study presents the successful synthesis of a novel Z-scheme heterojunction composite film consisting of Ag/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)/BiOBr through electrochemical processes and ionexchange techniques,followed by the photodeposition of noble metal silver(Ag)onto the composite structure.The catalytic efficiency of semiconductor photocatalysts is greatly improved by utilizing the localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR)effect observed in Ag nanoparticles(NPs).Furthermore,the noble metal Ag serves as an intermediary bridge facilitating charge transfer between Bi_(2)MoO_(6)and BiOBr,while the formation of a Schottky barrier effectively inhibits the recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs.As a result,the Ag-deposited Bi_(2)MoO_(6)/BiOBr film exhibits superior photocatalytic performance in the reduction of CO_(2)compared to its unmodified counterpart.Our experimental results indicate a non-linear relationship between Ag deposition and the efficiency of photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction to CO,characterized by an initial increase in efficiency followed by a decline.The optimized 1.5%-Ag/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)/BiOBr film demonstrates exceptional photocatalytic activity,attaining a CO production rate of 13.65μmol/(g·h).This research explores the fundamental mechanisms that lead to improved photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction capabilities of the Ag/Bi_(2)MoO_(6)/BiOBr film.Our research offers important perspectives for the thoughtful design and production of highly efficient photocatalysts,which are essential for advancing sustainable energy solutions.

文摘The pseudo-planar heterojunction(PPHJ)structure obtained via layer-by-layer(LBL)deposition offers a promising pathway for efficient and stable organic solar cells(OSCs);however,solvent-induced swelling and erosion of the donor layer during acceptor deposition often hinder the formation of an ideal vertical phase separation(VPS)morphology.Here,a simple approach for incorporating a highly crystalline polymer as a buffer layer between the donor and acceptor layers is proposed.We investigated the effectiveness of this strategy by constructing three systems:PM6/L8-BO,PM6:D18/L8-BO,and PM6/D18/L8-BO.Compared with the other two systems,when deposited as a separate layer,D18 with low surface energy forms a dense crystalline fibrillar network,effectively suppressing L8-BO over-penetration and mitigating chloroform-induced PM6 erosion.This architecture achieves the most favorable VPS morphology with an improved donor/acceptor gradient distribution and higher phase purity,facilitating charge transport and suppressing recombination.Moreover,the D18 buffer layer can regulate molecular packing,improve active layer crystallinity,and passivate interfacial defects to reduce energy loss.Consequently,the PM6/D18/L8-BO-based device achieved a superior power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 19.80%.Notably,integrating BTP-e C9 further increased the PCE to 20.21%.This study demonstrates that introducing a highly crystalline polymer as a p-i-n buffer layer can effectively optimize the VPS morphology,enabling highperformance PPHJ OSCs.
文摘Triclosan(TCS) poses harmful risks to ecosystems and human health owing to its endocrine-disrupting effects.Therefore,developing an efficient and sustainable technology to degrade TCS is urgently needed.Herein,cobalt oxyhydroxide @covalent organic frameworks(CoOOH@COFs) S-scheme heterojunction was synthesized,which combined the visible-light-driven photocatalysis and peroxymonosulfate(PMS) activation to synergistically generate abundant reactive oxygen species(ROSs) for TCS degradation.The degradation efficiency of TCS reached 100 % within 8 min in the Vis-CoOOH@COFs/PMS system,and the reaction rate constant was 0.456 min^(-1),which was nearly 1.90 and 2.85 times that of single Co OOH and COFs,and2.36 times that under dark condition,respectively.The density functional theory(DFT) calculations confirmed the energy band bending of CoOOH@COFs and S-scheme charge transport from COFs to Co OOH.Both experimental and theoretical analyses indicated that Co OOH@COFs in photocatalytic-PMS activation systems synergistically facilitated photo-generated carrier separation,enhanced interfacial electron transfer,accelerated PMS activation,and generated multiple ROSs.In particular,photogenerated electrons(e^(-))accelerated the Co(Ⅲ)/Co(Ⅱ) redox cycle,while the PMS captured the e-,which significantly decreased the charge combination of Co OOH@COFs.Radicals(O_(2)^(·-),^(·)OH,and SO_(4)^(·-)) and non-radicals(such as ^(1)O_(2),h^(+),and e^(-)) were both presented in the Vis-CoOOH@COFs/PMS system,with O_(2)^(-) playing a dominant role in TCS degradation.Furthermore,the pathway of TCS degradation and toxicity of intermediates were explored by DFT calculation and transformation product identification.Importantly,the environmentally friendly CoOOH@COFs S-scheme heterojunction exhibited excellent stability and reusability.In conclusion,this study innovatively designed an S-scheme heterojunction in the photocatalytic-PMS activation system,providing guidance and theoretical support for efficient and eco-friendly wastewater treatment.

文摘As the chemical industry expands,the use of benzene,toluene,and xylene(collectively known as BTX)in industrial production has increased greatly.Meanwhile,the toxic nature and potential health hazards of BTX gases cannot be ignored due to low-concentration leaks underline the critical need for rapid and real-time monitoring of these gases.Chemiresistive metal oxide semiconductor(MOS)-based gas sensors,which are extensively used for gas detection in both industrial settings and everyday life,emerge as one of the optimal solutions for trace BTX detection.These sensors are highly valued for their high sensitivity and low detection limits.Nevertheless,the improvement of selectivity towards specific BTX gases to achieve efficient and precise detection still remains challenging.This review summarizes the chemiresistive MOS-based gas sensors designed for BTX detection,categorizing them based on the components of sensing materials-basically into three groups:single-component,single heterojunction,and multiple heterojunctions gas sensing materials.Further,the review proposes the future application prospects of chemiresistive MOS-based BTX gas sensors,with specific emphasis on their significance in promoting industrial safety and environmental monitoring.

文摘Co_(3)S_(4)electrocatalysts with mixed valences of Co ions and excellent structural stability possess favorable oxygen evolution reaction(OER)activity,yet challenges remain in fabricating rechargeable lithiumoxygen batteries(LOBs)due to their poor OER performance,resulting from poor electrical conductivity and overly strong intermediate adsorption.In this work,fancy double heterojunctions on 1T/2H-MoS_(2)@Co_(3)S_(4)(1T/2H-MCS)were constructed derived from the charge donation from Co to Mo ions,thus inducing the phase transformation of Mo S_(2)from 2H to 1T.The unique features of these double heterojunctions endow the1T/2H-MCS with complementary catalysis during charging and discharging processes.It is worth noting that 1T-Mo S2@Co3S4could provide fast Co-S-Mo electron transport channels to promote ORR/OER kinetics,and 2H-MoS_(2)@Co_(3)S_(4)contributed to enabling moderate egorbital occupancy when adsorbed with oxygen-containing intermediates.On the basis,the Li_(2)O_(2)nucleation route was changed to solution and surface dual pathways,improving reversible deposition and decomposition kinetics.As a result,1T/2H-MCS cathodes exhibit an improved electrocatalytic performance compared with those of Co_(3)S_(4)and Mo S2cathodes.This innovative heterostructure design provides a reliable strategy to construct efficient transition metal sulfide catalysts by improving electrical conductivity and modulating adsorption toward oxygenated intermediates for LOBs.

文摘With the rapid advancement of optoelectronic technology,high-performance photodetectors are increasingly in demand in fields such as environmental monitoring,optical communication,and defense systems,where ultraviolet detection is critical.However,conventional semiconductor materials suffer from limited UV-visible detection capabilities owing to their narrow bandgaps and high dark currents.To address these challenges,wide-bandgap semiconductors have emerged as promising alternatives.Here,we fabricated a horizontally structured n–n heterojunction photodetector by growingβ-Ga_(2)O_(3) on Si–GaN via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.The device exhibits a self-powered photocurrent of 3.5 nA at zero bias,enabled by the photovoltaic effect of the space charge region.Under 254-nm and 365-nm illumination,it exhibits rectification behavior,achieving a responsivity of 0.475 m A/W(0 V,220??W/cm~2 at 254 nm)and 257.6 mA/W(-5 V),respectively.Notably,the photodetector demonstrates a high photocurrent-to-dark current ratio of 10~5 under-5-V bias,highlighting its potential for self-powered and high-performance UV detection applications.

文摘Chlorinated antibiotics pose great challenges in efficient removal,while for the first time,this work greatly enhanced their electrocatalytic dechlorination performance by construction of non-noble metal Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunctions to improve process cost-effectiveness.The Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction demonstrated an effective removal of 93.6%thiamphenicol(TAP)within 45 min,with the rate constant(0.0584 min^(-1))that was 2.4 and 2.8 times that of Co_(3)O_(4) and g-C_(3)N_(4) alone,respectively.The formation of heterojunctions facilitated electron transfer,enriched the electron density on Co_(3)O_(4),and enhanced the adsorption of pollutants as well as the desorption of degradation intermediates.The enhanced production of atomic hydrogen(H*)of Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4),which increased by 13.6-28.2 times,contributed more to pollutant removal(64.0%),much higher than that of Co_(3)O_(4)(37.3%)and g-C_(3)N_(4)(6.1%).The energy barrier for H_(2) formation on Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4)(0.75 eV)was higher than that on Co_(3)O_(4)(-1.84 eV),supporting that it could stabilize H*and inhibit the formation of H_(2).The Co_(3)O_(4)/g-C_(3)N_(4) heterojunction exhibited stable performance with less impact by pH and co-existing ions,and posed effectiveness for the dechlorination of typical chlorinated antibiotics.This study offers an efficient and sustainable strategy for constructing heterojunctions to enhance the performance of non-noble metal catalysts in electrocatalytic dechlorination.

文摘In the quest for effective solutions to address Environ.Pollut.and meet the escalating energy demands,heterojunction photocatalysts have emerged as a captivating and versatile technology.These photocatalysts have garnered significant interest due to their wideranging applications,including wastewater treatment,air purification,CO_(2) capture,and hydrogen generation via water splitting.This technique harnesses the power of semiconductors,which are activated under light illumination,providing the necessary energy for catalytic reactions.With visible light constituting a substantial portion(46%)of the solar spectrum,the development of visible-light-driven semiconductors has become imperative.Heterojunction photocatalysts offer a promising strategy to overcome the limitations associated with activating semiconductors under visible light.In this comprehensive review,we present the recent advancements in the field of photocatalytic degradation of contaminants across diverse media,as well as the remarkable progress made in renewable energy production.Moreover,we delve into the crucial role played by various operating parameters in influencing the photocatalytic performance of heterojunction systems.Finally,we address emerging challenges and propose novel perspectives to provide valuable insights for future advancements in this dynamic research domain.By unraveling the potential of heterojunction photocatalysts,this reviewcontributes to the broader understanding of their applications and paves the way for exciting avenues of exploration and innovation.
文摘The rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers poses a significant limitation on the use of CdS quantum dots(QDs)in photocatalysis.Herein,the construction of a novel S-scheme heterojunction between cubic-phase CdS QDs and hollow nanotube In_(2)O_(3)is successfully achieved using an electrostatic self-assembly method.Under visible light irradiation,all CdS-In_(2)O_(3)composites exhibit higher hydrogen evolution efficiency compared to pure CdS QDs.Notably,the photocatalytic H_(2)evolution rate of the optimal CdS-7%In_(2)O_(3)composite is determined to be 2258.59μmol g^(−1)h^(−1),approximately 12.3 times higher than that of pure CdS.The cyclic test indicates that the CdS-In_(2)O_(3)composite maintains considerable activity even after 5 cycles,indicating its excellent stability.In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations confirm that carrier migration in CdS-In_(2)O_(3)composites adheres to a typical S-scheme heterojunction mechanism.Additionally,a series of characterizations demonstrate that the formation of S-scheme heterojunctions between In_(2)O_(3)and CdS inhibits charge recombination and accelerates the separation and migration of photogenerated carriers in the CdS QDs,thus achieving enhanced photocatalytic performance.This work elucidates the pivotal role of S-scheme heterojunctions in photocatalytic H_(2)production and offers novel insights into the construction of effective composite photocatalysts.

文摘It is very appealing that 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)is electrocatalytical oxidized as 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)linking to non-classical cathodic hydrogen(H_(2))production.However,the electrocatalysts for electrocatalytic HMF oxidative reaction(e-HMFOR)have been facing low Faradaic efficiency(FE)and high water splitting voltage.Herein,we propose a strategy of the NiSeO_(3)@(CoSeO_(3))_(4)heterojunction by constructing a Co-Ni paired site,where the Co site is in charge of adsorbing for HMF while the electrons are transferred to the Ni site,thus giving the NiSeO_(3)@(CoSeO_(3))_(4)heterojunction superior electrocata lytic performances for e-HMFOR and water splitting.By optimizing conditions,the NiSeO_(3)@(CoSeO_(3))_(4)heterojunction has high conversion of 99.7%,high selectivity of 99.9%,and high FE of 98.4%at 1.3 V,as well as low cell voltage of 1.31 V at 10 mA cm^(-2)in 1 M KOH+0.1 M HMF.This study offers a potential insight for e-HMFOR to high value-added FDCA coupling water splitting to produce H_(2)in an economical manner.
