Abstract
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a promising technology for recovering energy in wastewater through bacterial metabolism. However, it always suffers from low power density and electron transfer efficiency, restricting the application. This study fabricated the MnCo2S4-Co4S3/bamboo charcoal (MCS-CS/BC) through an easy one-step hydrothermal method, and the material was applied to carbon felt (CF) to form high-performance MFC anode. MCS-CS/BC-CF anode exhibited lower Rct (10.1 Ω) than BC-CF (17.24 Ω) and CF anode (116.1 Ω), exhibiting higher electrochemical activity. MCS-CS/BC-CF anode promoted the electron transfer rate and resulted in enhanced power density, which was 9.27 times higher (980 mW m-2) than the bare CF (105.7 mW m-2). MCS-CS/BC-CF anode showed the best biocompatibility which attracted distinctly larger biomass (146.27 mg/μL) than CF (20 mg/μL) and BC-CF anode (20.1 mg/μL). The typical exoelectrogens (Geobacter and etc.) took dramatically higher proportion on MCS-CS/BC-CF anode (59.78%) than CF (2.99%) and BC-CF anode (26.67%). In addition, MCS-CS/BC stimulated the synergistic effect between exoelectrogens and fermentative bacteria, greatly favouring the extracellular electron transfer rate between bacteria and the anode and the power output. This study presented an efficient way of high-performance anode electrocatalyst fabrication for stimulating MFC power generation, giving suggestions for high-efficient energy recovery from wastewater.

Abstract
A promising strategy to boost electrocatalytic performance is via assembly of hetero-nanostructured electrocatalysts that delivers the essential specific surface area and also active sites by lowering the reaction barrier. However, the challenges associated with the intricate designs and mechanisms remain underexplored. Therefore, the present study constructs a p-n junction in a free-standing MnCo2O4.5@Ni3S2 on Ni-Foam. The space-charge region's electrical characteristics is dramatically altered by the formed p-n junction, which enhances the electron transfer process for urea-assisted electrocatalytic water splitting (UOR). The optimal MnCo2O4.5@Ni3S2 electrocatalyst results in greater oxygen evolution reactivity (OER) than pure systems, delivering an overpotential of only 240 mV. Remarkably, upon employing as UOR electrode the required potential decreases to 30 mV. The impressive performance of the designed catalyst is attributed to the enhanced electrical conductivity, greater number of electrochemical active sites, and improved redox activity due to the junction interface formed between p-MnCo2O4.5 and n-Ni3S2. There are strong indications that the in situ formed extreme-surface NiOOH, starting from Ni3S2, boosts the electrocatalytic activity, i.e., the electrochemical surface reconstruction generates the active species. In conclusion, this work presents a high-performance p-n junction design for broad use, together with a viable and affordable UOR electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Heterointerface engineering enhances catalytic active centers and charge transfer capabilities to increase oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) kinetics. In this study, a novel heterostructure of manganese cobalt sulfide-molybdenum disulfide on nickel foam (MnCo2S4-MoS2/NF) was synthesized via a two-step hydrothermal process. The nanowire-shaped MnCo2S4-MoS2 on NF displayed accelerated charge transfer ability and multiple integrated active sites. When tested in one molar (1 M) potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte, it furnished low overpotentials of 105 and 171 mV for the HER and 220 and 300 mV for the OER at the current densities of 20 and 50 mA cm-2, respectively. An electrolyzer based on MnCo2S4-MoS2/NF required low operating potentials of 1.41 and 1.49 V to yield the current densities of 10 and 20 mA cm-2, respectively, surpassing commercial and previously reported catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis revealed that the MnCo2S4-MoS2 heterostructure possesses the optimal adsorption free energies for the reactants, an extended electroactive surface area, good charge transfer ability, and reasonable density of electronic states close to the Fermi level, all of which contribute to the high activity of catalyst. Thus, heterointerface engineering is a promising strategy for creating efficient catalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
Multistage amorphous materials have promising applications in the catalytic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Herein, an amorphous sheet-raspberry sandwich-like ZnCo2S4@MnCo2S4/CP composite material was rationally designed and developed as a counter electrode (CE) for DSSCs by applying a three-step hydrothermal method. The first development of the amorphous composites as CEs resulted in lower charge transfer resistance at the CE/electrolyte interface and improved the fill factor and short-circuit current density. The excellent catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the large number of unsaturated coordination sites generated by the undirected structure of the lamellar-raspberry intercalated amorphous material, the smooth ion transport interface with a self-built corrosion-resistant layer, coupled with the dual catalytic performance of the Zn, Co, and Mn composites, and the good electrical conductivity of the C substrate. When ZnCo2S4@MnCo2S4/CP was used as the CE on a Ti substrate, the photoelectric conversion efficiency was as high as 11.68% (Voc = 0.821, Jsc = 20.14 mA cm-2, and FF = 0.71) under 100 mW cm-2 light illumination. This paper provides a design idea for amorphous materials in terms of catalytic performance and a method for developing alternatives to Pt electrodes.

Abstract
Designing in-plane supercapacitors with high electrode materials selectivity is an indispensable approach to improve electrochemical performance. In this work, a facile template method was employed to fabricate in-plane supercapacitors. This template method could select any electrochemical active materials as electrode materials of in-plane supercapacitors. Hence, a high electrochemical performance material Mn-Co LDO-2S with optimized metal-sulfur bonds proportion and abundant sulfur vacancies was employed as electrode material of symmetrical in-plane supercapacitor (SPS). SPS exhibits excellent electrochemical performance finally, and has considerable area energy density 55.0μWh cm-2with an area power density of 0.7 mW cm-2. As a result, introducing sulfur atoms and sulfur vacancies are efficient approaches to improve electrode materials' electrochemical performance, and template method that proposed in this work is a promising approach to widen selectivity of in-plane supercapacitors' electrode materials.

Abstract
The suspension stability of aluminum-based adjuvant (Alum) plays an important role in determining the Alum-antigen interaction and vaccine efficacy. Inclusion of excipients has been shown to stabilize antigens in vaccine formulations. However, there is no mechanistic study to tune the characteristics of Alum for improved suspension stability. Herein, a library of self-assembled rice-shaped aluminum oxyhydroxide nanoadjuvants i.e., nanorices (NRs), was synthesized through intrinsically controlled crystallization and atomic coupling-mediated aggregations. The NRs exhibited superior suspension stability in both water and a saline buffer. After adsorbing hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) virus-like particles (VLPs), human papillomavirus virus (HPV) VLPs, or bovine serum albumin, NR-antigen complexes exhibited less sedimentation. Further mechanistic study demonstrated that the improved suspension stability was due to intraparticle aggregations that led to the reduction of the surface free energy. By using HBsAg in a murine vaccination model, NRs with higher aspect ratios elicited more potent humoral immune responses. Our study demonstrated that engineered control of particle aggregation provides a novel material design strategy to improve suspension stability for a diversity of biomedical applications.

Abstract
The novel MnCo2O4 (MCO/CF), CNTs-MnCo2O4 (CNTs-MCO/CF) and MnFe2O4-MnCo2O4 (MFO-MCO/CF) electrodes were prepared on carbon felt (CF) by simple hydrothermal and coating method as anodes for MFC. The modified anodes combine the electrocatalytic properties of transition metal oxides (TMOs), the high electrical conductivity of CNTs and the good biocompatibility of CF. These anodes play a synergistically role in the synthesis of structural, to realize high-efficiency electron transfer, low resistance and sufficient space for microbial colonization, while also ensuring high power density. The maximum power density of the composite electrodes CNTs-MCO/CF and MFO-MCO/CF were 4268 mW/m3 and 3660 mW/m3, respectively. The synergistic effect of multi-component effectively improves the performance of MFC. This work not only offers a good design and preparation concept for functional TMOs composite electrodes, but also provides an important guide for the fabrication of CNTs-doped MFC anodes.

Abstract
In the past decades, the energy consumption of nonrenewable fossil fuels has been increasing, which severely threatens human life. Thus, it is very urgent to develop renewable and reliable energy storage devices with features of environmental harmlessness and low cost. High power density, excellent cycle stability, and a fast charge/discharge process make supercapacitors a promising energy device. However, the energy density of supercapacitors is still less than that of ordinary batteries. As is known to all, the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors is largely dependent on electrode materials. In this review, we firstly introduced six typical transition metal oxides (TMOs) for supercapacitor electrodes, including RuO2, Co3O4, MnO2, ZnO, XCo2O4 (X = Mn, Cu, Ni), and AMoO4 (A = Co, Mn, Ni, Zn). Secondly, the problems of these TMOs in practical application are presented and the corresponding feasible solutions are clarified. Then, we summarize the latest developments of the six TMOs for supercapacitor electrodes. Finally, we discuss the developing trend of supercapacitors and give some recommendations for the future of supercapacitors.

Abstract
Rational construction of MnCo2O4-based core-shell nanomaterials with distinctive and desirable architectures possesses great potential in the advanced electrode material of high-performance supercapacitors. Here, a new class of hierarchical core-shell nanowire arrays (NWAs) with a shell of NiWO4 nanoparticles and a core of MnCo2O4 nanowires is reported, which can significantly improve the electrochemical energy storage properties of supercapacitors. The unique core-shell structure endows the MnCo2O4@NiWO4 NWAs electrode with a high areal specific capacitance of 5.09 F cm-2 at a current density of 1 mA cm-2 and a superior cyclic retention of 96% after 5000 charge-discharge cycles, which are more preferable than those of MnCo2O4 NWAs electrode. More importantly, an aqueous electrochemical energy storage device (core-shell MnCo2O4@NiWO4 NWAs as the positive electrode and active carbon as the negative electrode, MnCo2O4@NiWO4//AC ASC) was assembled and shows a high energy density of 0.23 mWh cm-2 at a power density of 2.66 mW cm-2, and 0.09 mWh cm-2 at 16.00 mW cm-2, indicating hopeful potential for practical applications. This work highlights the significance of NiWO4 as a shell for hierarchical core-shell nanostructures, which can further improve the electron transport characteristic of the electrode material, thereby achieving performance breakthroughs in energy storage devices.
