Binary Atomic Sites Enable a Confined Bidirectional Tandem Electrocatalytic Sulfur Conversion for Low-Temperature All-Solid-State Na-S Batteries. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202317776. [PMID: 38117014 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202317776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
The broader implementation of current all-solid-state Na-S batteries is still plagued by high operation temperature and inefficient sulfur utilization. And the uncontrollable sulfur speciation pathway along with the sluggish polysulfide redox kinetics further compromise the theoretical potentials of Na-S chemistry. Herein, we report a confined bidirectional tandem electrocatalysis effect to tune polysulfide electrochemistry in a novel low-temperature (80 °C) all-solid-state Na-S battery that utilizes Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 ceramic membrane as a platform. The bifunctional hollow sulfur matrix consisting binary atomically dispersed MnN4 and CoN4 hotspots was fabricated using a sacrificial template process. Upon discharge, CoN4 sites activate sulfur species and catalyze long-chain to short-chain polysulfides reduction, while MnN4 centers substantially accelerate the low-kinetic Na2 S4 to Na2 S directly conversion, manipulating the uniform deposition of electroactive Na2 S and avoiding the formation of irreversible products (e.g., Na2 S2 ). The intrinsic synergy of two catalytic centers benefits the Na2 S decomposition and minimizes its activation barrier during battery recharging and then efficiently mitigate the cathodic passivation. As a result, the stable cycling of all-solid-state Na-S cell delivers an attractive reversible capacity of 1060 mAh g-1 with a high CE of 98.5 % and a high energy of 1008 Wh kgcathode -1 , comparable to the liquid electrolyte cells.

Abstract
The abuse of adamantanamine (ADA) and its derivatives as veterinary drugs in the poultry industry could cause severe health problems for humans. It is of great need to develop a rapid, cheap and ultrasensitive method for ADA detection. In this study, a sensitive conical nanochannel sensor was established for the rapid quantitative detection of ADA with the distinctive design of the host-guest competition. The sensor was constructed by functionalizing the nanochannel surface with p-toluidine and was then assembled with Cucurbit [7]uril (CB [7]). When ADA is added, it could occupy the cavity of CB [7] due to the host-guest competition and makes CB [7] to release from the CB [7]-p-toluidine complex, resulting in a distinct change of hydrophobicity of the nanochannel, which could be determined by the ionic current. Under the optimal conditions, the strategy permitted sensitive detection of ADA in a linear range of 10-1000 nM. The nanochannel based ADA sensing platform showed both high sensitivity and excellent reproducibility and the limit of detection was 4.54 nM. For the first time, the rapid and sensitive recognition of an illegal medicine was realized based on the host-guest competition method with the nanochannel system and the principle and feasibility of this method were described at length. This strategy provides a simple, reliable, and effective way to apply host-guest system in the development of nanochannel sensor for small-molecule drug detection.

Abstract
Inspired by the delicate functions of living organisms to transport or transform nitrite ions (NO2-), a bioinspired smart nanochannel that can realize harmless conversion of NO2- into N2 is developed by immobilizing a NO2--responsive functional molecule, p-phenylenediamine, onto a single conical polyethylene terephthalate nanochannel. Subsequently, the aromatic primary amine groups could be triggered to transform into a phenyldiazonium molecule based on the acid-activated NO2--binding process. The nanochannel exhibits specific selectivity and highly ultratrace recognition of NO2-. Fascinatingly, the transformed phenyldiazonium molecules could be triggered to generate phenol groups and release N2 by ultraviolet light activation, achieving NO2- harmless conversion. This system could provide inspiration to construct artificial nanofluidic devices for ion-sensing and nitrogen cycle fields.

Abstract
Field-Effect Transistor sensors (FET-sensors) have been receiving increasing attention for biomolecular sensing over the last two decades due to their potential for ultra-high sensitivity sensing, label-free operation, cost reduction and miniaturisation. Whilst the commercial application of FET-sensors in pH sensing has been realised, their commercial application in biomolecular sensing (termed BioFETs) is hindered by poor understanding of how to optimise device design for highly reproducible operation and high sensitivity. In part, these problems stem from the highly interdisciplinary nature of the problems encountered in this field, in which knowledge of biomolecular-binding kinetics, surface chemistry, electrical double layer physics and electrical engineering is required. In this work, a quantitative analysis and critical review has been performed comparing literature FET-sensor data for pH-sensing with data for sensing of biomolecular streptavidin binding to surface-bound biotin systems. The aim is to provide the first systematic, quantitative comparison of BioFET results for a single biomolecular analyte, specifically streptavidin, which is the most commonly used model protein in biosensing experiments, and often used as an initial proof-of-concept for new biosensor designs. This novel quantitative and comparative analysis of the surface potential behaviour of a range of devices demonstrated a strong contrast between the trends observed in pH-sensing and those in biomolecule-sensing. Potential explanations are discussed in detail and surface-chemistry optimisation is shown to be a vital component in sensitivity-enhancement. Factors which can influence the response, yet which have not always been fully appreciated, are explored and practical suggestions are provided on how to improve experimental design.
