文摘Dual-ion batteries(DIBs)usually use carbon-based materials as electrodes,showing advantages in high operating volt-age,potential low cost,and environmental friendliness.Different from conventional“rocking chair”type secondary batter-ies,DIBs perform a unique working mechanism,which employ both cation and anion taking part in capacity contribution at an anode and a cathode,respectively,during electrochemical reactions.Graphite has been identified as a suitable cathode material for anion intercalation at high voltages(>4.8 V)with fast reaction kinetics.However,the development of DIBs is being hindered by dynamic mismatch between a cathode and an anode due to sluggish Li+diffusion at a high rate.Herein,we prepared phyllostachys edulis derived carbon(PEC)through microstructure regulation strategy and investigated the carbonized temperature effect,which effectively tailored the rich short-range ordered graphite microdomains and disor-dered amorphous regions,as well as a unique nano-pore hierarchical structure.The pore size distribution of nano-pores was concentrated in 0.5-5 nm,providing suitable channels for rapid Li+transportation.It was found that PEC-500(carbon-ized at 500℃)achieved a high capacity of 436 mAh·g^(-1)at 300 mA·g^(-1)and excellent rate performance(maintaining a high capacity of 231 mAh·g^(-1)at 3 A·g^(-1)).The assembled dual-carbon PEC-500||graphite full battery delivered 114 mAh·g^(-1)at 10 C with 96%capacity retention after 3000 cycles and outstanding rate capability,providing 74 mAh·g^(-1)at 50 C.
文摘Biomass-derived hard carbons,usually prepared by pyrolysis,are widely considered the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion bat-teries(SIBs)due to their high capacity,low poten-tial,sustainability,cost-effectiveness,and environ-mental friendliness.The pyrolysis method affects the microstructure of the material,and ultimately its so-dium storage performance.Our previous work has shown that pyrolysis in a sealed graphite vessel im-proved the sodium storage performance of the car-bon,however the changes in its microstructure and the way this influences the sodium storage are still unclear.A series of hard carbon materials derived from corncobs(CCG-T,where T is the pyrolysis temperature)were pyrolyzed in a sealed graphite vessel at different temperatures.As the pyrolysis temperature increased from 1000 to 1400℃ small carbon domains gradually transformed into long and curved domains.At the same time,a greater number of large open pores with uniform apertures,as well as more closed pores,were formed.With the further increase of pyrolysis temperature to 1600℃,the long and curved domains became longer and straighter,and some closed pores gradually became open.CCG-1400,with abundant closed pores,had a superior SIB performance,with an initial reversible ca-pacity of 320.73 mAh g^(-1) at a current density of 30 mA g^(-1),an initial Coulomb efficiency(ICE)of 84.34%,and a capacity re-tention of 96.70%after 100 cycles.This study provides a method for the precise regulation of the microcrystalline and pore structures of hard carbon materials.

文摘Anode-free sodium metal batteries(AFSMBs)have gained attention as next-generation storage systems with high energy density and cost-effectiveness.However,non-uniform sodium(Na)deposition and an unsteady solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)lead to dendrite-related issues and severe irreversible Na^(+)plating/stripping,greatly aggravating their cycle deterioration.In this study,we effectively modified the 3D current collector's electronic structure by introducing Zn-N_(x)active sites(Zn-CNF),which enhances lateral Na^(+)diffusion and the Na planar growth,enabling uniform deep Na deposition at an exceptionally high capacity of 10 mA h cm^(-2).Furthermore,the Zn-N_(x)bonds enhance the adsorption capacity of PF6and contribute to forming a stable inorganic-rich SEI layer.Consequently,Zn-CNF with the electronic structure regulation endows an ultra-low nucleation overpotential(8 mV)and ultra-high Coulombic efficiency of 99.94%over 1,600 cycles.Symmetric cells demonstrate stable Na^(+)plating/stripping behavior for more than 4,400 h at 1 mA cm^(-2).Moreover,under high cathode loading(7.97 mg cm^(-2)),the AFSMBs achieve a high energy density of 374 W h kg^(-1)and retain a high discharge capacity of 82.49 mA h g^(-1)with a capacity retention of 80.4%after 120 cycles.This work proposes a viable strategy to achieving high-energy-density AFSMBs.

文摘Urea-assisted water electrolysis offers a promising route to reduce energy consumption for hydrogen production and meanwhile treat urea-rich wastewater.Herein,we devised a shear force-involved polyoxometalate-organic supramolecular self-assembly strategy to fabricate 3D hierarchical porous nanoribbon assembly Mn-VN cardoons.A bimetallic polyoxovanadate(POV)with the inherent structural feature of Mn surrounded by[VO_(6)]octahedrons was introduced to trigger precise Mn incorporation in VN lattice,thereby achieving simultaneous morphology engineering and electronic structure modulation.The lattice contraction of VN caused by Mn incorporation drives electron redistribution.The unique hierarchical architecture with modulated electronic structure that provides more exposed active sites,facilitates mass and charge transfer,and optimizes the associated adsorption behavior.Mn-VN exhibits excellent activity with low overpotentials of 86 m V and 1.346 V at 10 m A/cm^(2)for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and urea oxidation reaction(UOR),respectively.Accordingly,in the two-electrode urea-assisted water electrolyzer utilizing Mn-VN as a bifunctional catalyst,hydrogen production can occur at low voltage(1.456 V@10 m A/cm^(2)),which has the advantages of energy saving and competitive durability over traditional water electrolysis.This work provides a simple and mild route to construct nanostructures and modulate electronic structure for designing high-efficiency electrocatalysts.
文摘Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))offers an effective method of CO_(2)fixation to mitigate global warming and the energy crisis.However,for supported Ni single-atom catalysts(SACs),which are among the most promising candidates for this application,the relationship between Ni coordination structure and catalytic properties is still under strong debate.Here,we fabricated a series of Ni SACs through precise-engineering of anchor sites on nitrogen-doped carbon(NC)followed by Ni atom anchoring using atomic layer deposition.Among them,a Ni_(1)/NC SAC,with a coordination number(CN)of four but less pyridinic nitrogen(N_(pyri)),achieved over 90%faradaic efϐiciency for CO at potentials from-0.7 to-1.0 V and a mass activity of 6.5 A/mgNi at-0.78 V along with high stability,outperforming other Ni SACs with lower CN and more N_(pyri).Theoretical calculations of various three and four-coordinated Ni_(1)-NxCy structures revealed a linear correlation between the reaction Gibbs free energy for the potential-limiting step and the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)position of Ni-3d orbitals,therein the four-coordinated Ni_(1)-N_(1)C_(3)with the highest HOMO position is identified as the active site for the electrocatalytic CO_(2)-to-CO process,in line with the experimental results.

文摘Developing bifunctional electrocatalysts with enhanced efficiency for both hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)remains a significant challenge.Herein,we constructed S-doped ultra-fine RuO_(2) nanodots that were uniformly dispersed on carbon nanotubes.The incorporation of S effectively induces local rearrangement of the electronic structure of RuO_(2),thereby enhancing the dispersion of RuO_(2) as active sites and optimizing the adsorption free energy of H^(∗)intermediate.As ex-pected,the as-synthesized S-RuO_(2)/CNT delivers remarkable HER activity in all pH electrolytes,achieving lower overpotentials of 136,159,and 396 mV at 100 mA cm^(-2) in acidic,neutral,and basic solutions,respectively.Moreover,a unitary S-RuO_(2)/CNT electrolytic cell requires only a lower voltage(1.476 V)to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm^(-2) in 1.0 mol/L KOH.This ingenious work represents a significant breakthrough in the rational design of bifunctional electrocatalysts,enabling remarkable performance in electrochemical water electrolysis.

文摘In response to the limitations of conventional chemical synthesis methods for the structural modulation of nanomaterials,an innovative high magnetic field-assisted wet chemical synthesis method was proposed to prepare NiFe_(2)O_(4)/Fe_(2)O_(3) heterostructures.It is found that the high-energy physical field could induce a more homogeneous morphology of NiFe_(2)O_(4)/Fe_(2)O_(3),accompanied by phase transformation from Fe_(2)O_(3) to NiFe_(2)O_(4).As a result,the optimized structure obtained under the magnetic field endows NiFe_(2)O_(4)/Fe_(2)O_(3) with enhanced performance for the lithium-ion battery anode,as evidenced by an increase of 16%(1200 mA·h/g)in discharge capacity and 24% in ultra-stable cycling performance(capacity retention of 97.1%).These results highlight the feasibility of high magnetic fields in modulating material structure and enhancing lithium storage performance.

文摘At present,industrial synthetic ammonia was still obtained through the Hubble-Bosch process,with large energy consumption.It is a research hotspot to realize green synthetic ammonia by using solar energy.The difficulty of photocatalytic ammonia synthesis was that the photo-excited electrons have not enough energy to active N≡N.In this study,Ti was doped into BiOBr by one-step hydrothermal method,which was oxidized into TiO_(2)when the doping amount reaches the maximum,in situ forming Ti_(0.31)B_(0.69)OB/TiO_(2)composites.Benefiting from the synergistic effect of Ti doping and S-scheme heterojunction,the synthetic ammonia efficiency of Ti_(0.31)B_(0.69)OB/TiO_(2)-11.96 reached 1.643 mmol·g_(cat)^(-1)at mild conditions and without hole scavenger for up to 7 h,the efficiency of synthetic ammonia is 115 times,10.5 times and 3.3 times of that of BiOBr,Ti_(0.31)B_(0.69)OB and TiO_(2),respectively.Specifically,DFT calculation confirms that Ti doping accurately refine the electronic structure of BiOBr,facilitate nitrogen adsorption activation and reduce hydrogenation reaction energy barrier,thus accelerating the reaction kinetics of photocatalytic nitrogen reduction(NRR),Meanwhile,constructing S-scheme heterojunction boosts the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs,improving the reduction ability of electrons in the conduction band of TiO_(2)and the oxidation ability of holes in the valence band of Ti_(0.31)B_(0.69)OB.

The final R = 0.0557（I 〉 2σ（I）） and w R = 0.1276（all data）. Bioassay showed that 3 displayed excellent activity as plant growth regulator with inducing lateral root formation and enhancing primary root elongation at 0.27 mmol/L（50 ppm） in soybeen（He Feng-50）.

文摘The inherent electrocatalytic potential of transition metal phosphides(TMPs)for oxygen evolution is influenced by the reduced efficiency of electron transfer resulting from the interaction between electronegative phosphorus atoms and transition metals.Here,we introduce Fe into Ni_(2)P nanocrystals by thermal injection synthesis method,and anchor them on nickel foam(NF)by facile spraying to prepare self-supporting oxygen evolution reaction(OER)electrocatalyst.Promisingly,the optimized electrode of Ni_(2)P-Fe-2/NF demonstrates low overpotentials of 212 mV with 10 mA·cm^(-2)and a 0.9%decay within300 h test of 50 mA·cm^(-2).Notably,when electrode size was expanded to 600 cm^(2)and applied to a larger electrolyzer,its 9 h decay rate at 6 A current was only 1.69%.Characterization results show that Fe doped NiOOH is generated during OER reaction as actual catalyst,Results from density functional theory(DFT)computations suggest that Fe doping shifts NiOOH d-band center to Fermi level,lowering critical *OOH intermediates formation energy barrier during the OER reaction.These findings inform the large-scale industrial application of TMPs as robust electrocatalysts.

文摘Electrolyzing seawater is a promising solution to produce hydrogen,which is hindered by low-efficiency oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and noxious chloride chemistry.Herein,the Fe-Co_(2)P/CeO_(2)heterostructure nanosheet arrays are developed to achieve energy-saving and chlorine-free hydrogen generation by coupling hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)with hydrazine oxidation reaction(HzOR)in seawater.The Fe-Co_(2)P/CeO_(2)realizes current densities of 10 and 400 mA·cm^(-2)at 52 and204 mV for HER.The anode potential is significantly decreased after replacing OER with HzOR.Theoretical calculations display that the electronic structure of Fe-Co_(2)P can be regulated after coupling CeO_(2),which lowers the water dissociation barrier and optimizes hydrogen adsorption-free energy,thus boosting catalytic kinetics.Significantly,the hybrid seawater electrolyzer produces hydrogen at ultralow cell voltages,greatly reducing traditional water electrolysis voltages and avoiding hazardous chlorine chemistry.This study provides an avenue to exploit advanced catalysts for acquiring hydrogen with energy-efficiency and chlorine-free from abundant ocean.

文摘Structural regulation of Pd-based electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination(EHDC)catalyst for constructing high-efficient cathode materials with low noble metal content and high atom utilization is crucial but still challenging.Herein,a support electron inductive effect of Pd-Mn/Ni foam catalyst was proposed via in-situ Mn doping to optimize the electronic structure of the Ni foam(NF),which can inductive regulation of Pd for improving the EHDC performance.The mass activity and current efficiency of Pd-Mn/NF catalyst are 2.91 and 1.34 times superior to that of Pd/NF with 2,4-dichlorophenol as model compound,respectively.The Mn-doped interlayer optimized the electronic structure of Pd by bringing the d-state closer to the Fermi level than Pd on the NF surface,which optimizied the binding of EHDC intermediates.Additionally,the Mn-doped interlayer acted as a promoter for generating H∗and accelerating the EHDC reaction.This work presents a simple and effective regulation strategy for constructing high-efficient cathode catalyst for the EHDC of chlorinated organic compounds.
文摘Smart batteries play a key role in upgrading energy storage systems.However,they require a well-balanced integration of material structure,functional properties,and electrochemical performance,and their development is limited by conventional material systems in terms of energy density,response time,and functional integration.Carbon materials have emerged as a key solution for overcoming these problems due to their structural adjustability and multifunctional compatibility.Strategies for improving their electrochemical performance by changing the pore structure and interlayer spacing,as well as chemical functionalization,and composite design are analyzed,and their impact on improving the specific capacity and cycling stability of batteries is demonstrated.The unique advantages of carbon materials in realizing smart functions such as power supply,real-time monitoring and energy management in smart batteries are also discussed.Based on current progress in related fields,the prospects for the use of carbon materials in smart batteries are evaluated.

文摘To advance the precise regulation and high-value utilization of halloysite nanotubes(HNTs),this work systematically investigated five treatment strategies,including calcination,acid treatment,alkali treatment,acid treatment of calcined HNTs,and alkali treatment of calcined HNTs,to modulate their structural and application properties.The structural characteristics,surface properties,and methylene blue(MB)adsorption capacity of HNTs under multiple treatments were systematically analyzed.Calcination at varying temperatures modified the crystal structure,morphology,and surface properties of HNTs,with higher calcination temperatures reducing their reactivity towards MB.Moderate acid treatment expanded the lumen and decreased the surface potential of HNTs,significantly enhancing MB adsorption capacity.In contrast,alkali treatment dispersed the multilayered walls of HNTs and raised surface potential,reducing MB affinity.Acid treatment of calcined HNTs effectively increased their specific surface areas by leaching most of Al while maintaining the tubular structure,thereby maximizing MB adsorption.Alkali treatment of calcined HNTs destroyed the tubular structure and resulted in poor MB adsorption.HNTs pre-calcined at 600℃ for 3 h and acid-treated at 60℃ for 8 h exhibited an optimal specific surface area of443 m^(2)·g^(-1)and an MB adsorption capacity of 190 mg·g^(-1).Kinetic and Arrhenius equation fittings indicated that chemical reactions control interactions of acids and alkalis with HNTs.This study provides a comprehensive comparison and analysis of five treatment methods,offering insights into regulating the structures and surface properties of HNTs by controlling the treatment condition,thereby laying a foundation for their efficient utilization in practical applications.

文摘Herein,a one-pot method is proposed to manufacture recyclable polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofibers composites with excellent mechanical and barrier performance through wet co-milling of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl oxidized bamboo pulp in the polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution.This strategy achieves ultrafine nano-fibrillation of cellulose pulp into nanofibers and their simultaneous homogenous distribution in the polyvinyl alcohol matrix,as evidenced by the homogenized structural morphology and enhanced interfacial interactions.With increased grinding degree,the cellulose fibers are gradually exfoliated and uniformly distributed in the polyvinyl alcohol matrix.The structure evolution of polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose composites during exfoliation and the structure-properties relationship are systematically analyzed.Consequently,the resultant polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofibers composite films exhibit a‘reinforced concrete’structure with improved grain boundary strengthening effect,stress transfer capability and barrier properties.The elastic modulus,tensile strength and toughness of the polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofibers composite films are significantly enhanced by 195.1%,33.8%and 56.2%compared to those of pure polyvinyl alcohol film,respectively.The greatly reduced oxygen permeability coefficient demonstrates their great potential in food packaging.This research proposes a practical one-pot method for the fabrication and structure regulation of polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofibers composites and provides valuable insights into their structure-property relationships.
