No peaks of other phases arising from impurities are detected in Mn- and Co-doped ZnO, hut the peaks of ZnFe204 and NiO are observed in Zno.99Feo.010 and Zno.99Nio.o10. The SEM observations indicate that with larger grain sizes than those of Zn0.99Feo.010 and Zno.99Ni0.010, Co-doped ZnO exhibits smooth grain surfaces. The infrared absorption spectra show that infrared absorptions related to oxygen in Zn0.99M0.010 are much stronger than those in Co-doped ZnO. Co ions are dissolved into the ZnO lattice with Co2＋ state from XPS spectra analysis. The infrared emissivity results imply that the emissivity of Zno.99Ni0.010 is the highest （0.829） and that of Zno.99C00.010 is the lowest （0.784） at 1 200 ℃. The emissivity of Zno.99Co0.010 decreases to the minimum （0.752） at 1 150 ℃ and then increases with growing calcination temperature. As the Co doping content grows, the emissivity of Co-doped ZnO calcined at 1 200 ℃ falls to 0.758 in the molar fraction of 3% and then ascends.展开更多

However, it can only absorb near-ultraviolet light with a wavelength below approximately 388 nm due to a wide band gap. Therefore a modification should be made for anatase to increase its capability in utilizing more abundant visible light. We investigated the doped anatase with the most promising 3d transition metal elements, and the results showed that the visible light absorption intensity was increased significantly due to the reduced band gap and the cavitation effects. As compared to other 3d transition metals, Cu was found to be the most effective one in improving anatase photocatalytic effects. In addition, greater Cu concentration doped in the anatase increased the photocatalysis effects but reduced the anatase stability, therefore, an optimized Cu concentration should be considered to optimize the anatase photocatalysis activity.展开更多

Understanding the intrinsic reaction mechanism and further developing ideal TMC-based anode with high specific capacity, excellent rate capabilities, and longterm cycling stability are critical for the practical application of TMCs. In this review, we firstly focus on the fundamental electrochemical energy-storage mechanisms of TMCs, in terms of conversionreaction process, pseudocapacitance-type charge storage, valence change for charge storage and catalytic conversion mechanisms. Based on the reaction mechanisms, various modification strategies to improve the electrochemical performance of TMCs are summarized, covering:(i) micro-nano structural engineering, in which the influence factors on the morphology are discussed, and multiple architectures are listed;(ii) elemental doping, in which the intrinsic mechanisms of metal/nonmetal elements doping on the electrochemical performance are deeply explored;(iii) multifunctional compositing strategies, in which the specific affections on structure, electronic conductivity and chemo-mechanical stability are summarized.Finally, the key challenges and opportunities to develop high-performance TMCs are discussed and some solutions are also proposed. This timely review sheds light on the path towards achieving cost-effective and safe LIBs with high energy density and long cycling life using TMCs-based anode materials.展开更多

文摘A series of nitrogen-doped SrMoO_(4) with different Sr/N mole ratio (R=0,0.05,0.10,0.15,0.20,0.40,and 0.60) were synthesized using urea as the N source via the vapor-thermal method.The photocatalytic degradation ability of all samples was evaluated using methylene blue (MB) as a target contaminant.The band gaps of N-doped samples are all higher than that of pristine ones,which is only 3.12 eV.BET specific surface area S_(BET) and pore volume are increased due to the N doping.And the greater increase of S_(BET),the faster the photodegradation speed of methylene blue on SrMoO_(4).More specifically,the degradation efficiency of MB is improved up to 87%in 100 min.

文摘In this study,a novel class of niobium(Nb) doped titanate nanoflakes(TNFs) are fabricated through a onestep hydrothermal method.Nb doping affects the curving of titanate nanosheet,leading to the formation of nanoflake structure.In addition,Nb5+ filled in the interlayers of [TiO6] alters the light adsorption property of pristine titanate.The band gap of Nb-TNFs is narrowed to 2.85 eV,while neat titanate nano tubes(TNTs) is 3.4 eV.The enhanced visible light adsorption significantly enhances the visible-lightdriven activity of Nb-TNFs for ibuprofen(IBP) degradation.The pseudo-first order kinetics constant for Nb-TNFs is calculated to be 1.04 h^-1,while no obvious removal is observed for TNTs.Photo-generated holes(h^+) and hydroxyl radicals(·OH) are responsible for IBP degradation.The photocatalytic activity of Nb-TNFs depends on pH condition,and the optimal pH value is found to be 5.In addition,Nb-TNFs exhibited superior photo-stability during the reuse cycles.The results demonstrated Nb-TNFs are very promising in photocatalytic water purification.

文摘Developing environmentally friendly methods to produce hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))has received increasing attention.Photocatalysis has been proved to be a sustainable technology for H_(2)O_(2)production.Herein,the novel non-metal elements(B,P,and S)doped g-C_(3)N_(4)tubes(B-CNT,P-CNT,and S-CNT)photocatalysts were obtained via a hydrothermal synthesis followed by thermal polymerization.By adjusting the precursor,the yield of g-C_(3)N_(4)tubes(CNT)materials has been greatly improved.The as-prepared B-CNT,P-CNT,and S-CNT photocatalysts show an enhanced photocatalytic H_(2)O_(2)production with the formation rate constants values of 42.31μM min^(-1),24.95μM min^(-1),and 24.22μM min^(-1),respectively,which is higher than that of bulk CN(16.40μM min^(-1)).The doped B,P,S elements significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity by adjusting their electronic structures and promoting the separation of electronhole carriers.The results have shown great potential for the practical application of CNT photocatalysts.

文摘Anatase（TiO_2） has been widely used in photocatalysis. However, it can only absorb near-ultraviolet light with a wavelength below approximately 388 nm due to a wide band gap. Therefore a modification should be made for anatase to increase its capability in utilizing more abundant visible light. We investigated the doped anatase with the most promising 3d transition metal elements, and the results showed that the visible light absorption intensity was increased significantly due to the reduced band gap and the cavitation effects. As compared to other 3d transition metals, Cu was found to be the most effective one in improving anatase photocatalytic effects. In addition, greater Cu concentration doped in the anatase increased the photocatalysis effects but reduced the anatase stability, therefore, an optimized Cu concentration should be considered to optimize the anatase photocatalysis activity.

文摘We used density functional theory(DFT)calculations to study the influence of alkali earth metal element(AE)doping on the crystal structure and electronic band structure ofα-Si3N4.The diversity of atomic radii of alkaline earth metal elements results in structural expansion when they were doped into theα-Si3N4 lattice.Formation energies of the doped structures indicate that dopants prefer to occupy the interstitial site under the nitrogen-deficient environment,while substitute Si under the nitrogen-rich environment,which provides a guide to synthesizingα-Si3N4 with different doping types by controlling nitrogen conditions.For electronic structures,energy levels of the dopants appear in the bottom of the conduction band or the top of the valence band or the forbidden band,which reduces the bandgap ofα-Si3N4.

文摘Electrocatalytic water splitting seems to be an efficient strategy to deal with increasingly serious environmental problems and energy crises but still suffers from the lack of stable and efficient electrocatalysts.Designing practical electrocatalysts by introducing defect engineering,such as hybrid structure,surface vacancies,functional modification,and structural distortions,is proven to be a dependable solution for fabricating electrocatalysts with high catalytic activities,robust stability,and good practicability.This review is an overview of some relevant reports about the effects of defect engineering on the electrocatalytic water splitting performance of electrocatalysts.In detail,the types of defects,the preparation and characterization methods,and catalytic performances of electrocatalysts are presented,emphasizing the effects of the introduced defects on the electronic structures of electrocatalysts and the optimization of the intermediates'adsorption energy throughout the review.Finally,the existing challenges and personal perspectives of possible strategies for enhancing the catalytic performances of electrocatalysts are proposed.An in-depth understanding of the effects of defect engineering on the catalytic performance of electrocatalysts will light the way to design high-efficiency electrocatalysts for water splitting and other possible applications.

文摘As the primary suppliers of cyclable sodium ions,O3-type layer-structured manganese-based oxides are recognized as highly competitive cathode candidates for sodium-ion batteries.To advance the development of high-energy sodium-ion batteries,it is crucial to explore cathode materials operating at high voltages while maintaining a stable cycling behavior.The orbital and electronic structure of the octahedral center metal element plays a crucial role in maintaining the octahedra structural integrity and improving Na^(+)ion diffusion by introducing heterogeneous chemical bonding.Inspired by the abundant configuration of extra nuclear electrons and large ion radius,we employed trace amounts of tungsten in this study.The obtained cathode material can promote the reversibility of oxygen redox reactions in the high-voltage region and inhibit the loss of lattice oxygen.Additionally,the formation of a Na_(2)WO_(4) coating on the material surface can improve the interfacial stability and interface ions diffusion.It demonstrates an initial Coulombic efficiency(ICE)of 94.6%along with 168.5 mA h g^(-1 )discharge capacity within the voltage range of 1.9-4.35 V.These findings contribute to the advancement of high-energy sodium-ion batteries by providing insights into the benefits of tungsten doping and Na_(2)WO_(4) coating on cathode materials.

文摘The irreversible phase transition and interface side reactions during the cycling process severely limit the large scale application of nickel-rich layered oxides Li[Ni_(x)Co_(y)Mn_(1−x−y)]O_(2)(NCM,x>0.8).Herein,we have designed LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn 0.1 O_(2)cathodes modified by Nb/Al co-doping and LiNbO_(3)/LiAlO_(2)composite coating.Detailed characterization reveals that Nb/Al co-doping can stabilize the crystal structure of the cathodes and expand the layer spacing of the layered lattice,thereby increasing the diffusion rate and reversibility of Li^(+).And the composite coatings can improve the electrochemical kinetic and inhibit the erosion of acidic substances by hindering direct contact between the cathodes and electrolyte.As a result,the Ni-rich cathodes with dual modification can still exhibit a higher capacity of 184.02 mA·h/g after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of up to 98.1%,and can still release a capacity of 161.6 mA·h/g at a high rate of 7 C,meanwhile,it shows excellent thermal stability compared to bare NCM.This work provides a new perspective for enhancing electrochemical properties of cathodes through integrated strategies.

文摘The restacking and oxidizable nature of vanadium-based carbon/nitride(V_(2)C-MXene)poses a significant challenge.Herein,tellurium(Te)-doped V_(2)C/V_(2)O_(3) electrocatalyst is constructed via mild H_(2)O_(2) oxidation and calcination treatments.Especially,this work rationally exploits the inherent easy oxidation characteristic associated with MXene to alter the interfacial information,thereby obtaining stable self-generated vanadium-based heterointerfaces.Meanwhile,the microetching effect of H_(2)O_(2) creates numerous pores to address the restacking issues.Besides,Te element doping settles the issue of awkward levels of absorption/desorption ability of intermediates.The electrocatalyst obtains an unparalleled hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction with the overpotential of 83.5 and 279.8 mV at−10 and 10 mA cm^(−2),respectively.In addition,the overall water-splitting device demonstrates a low cell voltage of 1.41 V to obtain 10 mA cm^(−2).Overall,the inherent drawbacks of MXene can be turned into benefits based on the planning strategy to create these electrocatalysts with desirable reaction kinetics.

文摘Sm_(5)Co_(19) permanent magnet alloy holds significant potential for applications due to its ultra-high intrinsic coercivity,low temperature coefficient of coercivity and high Curie temperature.However,its metastable nature poses challenges for experimental synthesis.Here we propose to use transition metal doping to effectively improve the structural stability and comprehensive magnetic properties of Sm_(5)Co_(19) based on first-principles calculations.We find that Sc,Ti,V,Cr,Mn,and Zr preferentially occupy the Sm-6c2 site,while Fe,Ni,Cu,and Zn preferentially occupy the Co-6c2,Co-18h1,Co-18h2,and Co-18h2 site,respectively.Additionally,doping elements at their optimal sites significantly enhance the structural stability of the doped system.Whether substituting Sm or Co sites,doping with Cr,Mn,and Fe significantly increases the total magnetic moment of the Sm_5Co_(19) system.Within the number of doping atoms range from 0 to 12,doping with Cr,Mn,and Fe enhances both the structural stability and the total magnetic moment of the Sm_(5)Co_(19) system,further confirming the significant impact of atomic site occupation on the performance of the doped system.This study presents a feasible approach for enhancing the structural stability of Sm_(5)Co_(19) permanent magnets and offers valuable theoretical guidance for the development of highperformance Sm-Co based permanent magnet materials.

文摘Kagome magnets Tb Mn_(6)Sn_(6-x)In_(x)(x=0-1.2)exhibit a robust anomalous Hall effect(AHE)that persists above room temperature,demonstrating significant potential for high-temperature spintronics applications.At elevated temperatures,a spin-reorientation transition induces a ferrimagnetic state(FIM1)with in-plane magnetic moments,accompanied by a nonmonotonic Hall response that differs markedly from the low-temperature behavior.Upon indium doping,the long-range ferrimagnetic transition is progressively suppressed to lower temperatures,along with a noticeable reduction in magnetic anisotropy.Interestingly,at a doping level of x=1.2,the FIM1 state observed in the parent compound is completely eliminated.These systematic changes in magnetic ordering and transport properties underscore a coherent evolution of the electronic and magnetic states with doping,offering critical insights into the interplay among lattice structure,magnetism,and electronic behavior in kagome lattices.

文摘In this work,a non-toxic and environmentally friendly aqueous-solution-based method has been adopted to prepare gadolinium-doped hafnium oxide(HfO2) gate dielectric thin films.By adjusting the gadolinium(Gd) doping concentration,the oxygen vacancy content,band offset,interface trap density,and dielectric constant of HfGdOx(HGO) thin films have been optimized.Results have confirmed that HGO thin films with Gd doping ratio of 15 at.% have demonstrated appropriate dielectric constant of 27.1 and lower leakage current density of 5.8×10-9 A cm-2.Amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide(α-IGZO) thin film transistors(TFTs) based on HGO thin film(Gd:15 at.%) as gate dielectric layer have exhibited excellent electrical performance,such as larger saturated carrier mobility(μsat) of 20.1 cm2 V-1 S-1,high on/off current ratio(Ion/Ioff) of ~108,smaller sub-threshold swing(SS) of 0.07 V decade-1,and a negligible threshold voltage shift(ΔVTH) of 0.08 V under positive bias stress(PBS) for 7200 s.To confirm its potential application in logic circuit,a resistor-loaded inverter based on HGO/α-IGZO TFTs has been constructed.A high voltage gain of 19.8 and stable full swing characteristics have been detected.As a result,it can be concluded that aqueous-solution-driven HGO dielectrics have potential application in high resolution flat panel displays and ultra-large-scale integrated logic circuits.

文摘In this work,modified g-C_(3)N_(4) was fabricated successfully by calcination of ionic liquid(IL) and urea.The addition of IL changed the polymerization mode of urea,induced the self-assembly of urea molecules,modified the morphological structure of the tightly packed g-C_(3)N_(4),and extended the electron conjugation system.When using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride([Bmim]Cl) as a modifier,the heteroatom Cl could be inserted into the g-C_(3)N_(4) to optimize the electronic structure.The results of characterizations indicate that the unique structure of modified g-C_(3)N_(4) has an expanded electron delocalization range,introduces an interlayer charge transmission channel,promotes the charge transmission,reduces the band gap,enhances the absorption of visible light,and inhibits electron-hole recombination.Modified g-C_(3)N_(4) showed excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of rhodamine B and tetracycline.Furthermore,the effect of different anions in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salts([Bmim]Cl,[Bmim]Br,[Bmim][BF_(4)],and [Bmim][PF_6]) on the structure and function of g-C_(3) N_(4) are discussed.

文摘Even though transition metal carbonates(TMCs, TM = Fe, Mn, Co, Ni etc.), show high theoretical capacities, rich reserves and environmental friendliness as anodes for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs), they suffer from sluggish electronic/ionic conductivities and huge volume variation, which severely deteriorate the rate capacities and cycling performances. Understanding the intrinsic reaction mechanism and further developing ideal TMC-based anode with high specific capacity, excellent rate capabilities, and longterm cycling stability are critical for the practical application of TMCs. In this review, we firstly focus on the fundamental electrochemical energy-storage mechanisms of TMCs, in terms of conversionreaction process, pseudocapacitance-type charge storage, valence change for charge storage and catalytic conversion mechanisms. Based on the reaction mechanisms, various modification strategies to improve the electrochemical performance of TMCs are summarized, covering:(i) micro-nano structural engineering, in which the influence factors on the morphology are discussed, and multiple architectures are listed;(ii) elemental doping, in which the intrinsic mechanisms of metal/nonmetal elements doping on the electrochemical performance are deeply explored;(iii) multifunctional compositing strategies, in which the specific affections on structure, electronic conductivity and chemo-mechanical stability are summarized.Finally, the key challenges and opportunities to develop high-performance TMCs are discussed and some solutions are also proposed. This timely review sheds light on the path towards achieving cost-effective and safe LIBs with high energy density and long cycling life using TMCs-based anode materials.
