[PMID: 37815533 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
Highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst will determine the mass distributions of hydrogen-powered clean technologies, while still faces grand challenges. In this work, a synergistic ligand modulation plus Co doping strategy is applied to 1T-MoS2 catalyst via CoMo-metal-organic frameworks precursors, boosting the HER catalytic activity and durability of 1T-MoS2 . Confirmed by Cs corrected transmission electron microscope and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the polydentate 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane ligand can stably link with two-dimensional 1T-MoS2 layers through cobalt sites to expand interlayer spacing of MoS2 (Co-1T-MoS2 -bpe), which promotes active site exposure, accelerates water dissociation, and optimizes the adsorption and desorption of H in alkaline HER processes. Theoretical calculations indicate the promotions in the electronic structure of 1T-MoS2 originate in the formation of three-dimensional metal-organic constructs by linking π-conjugated ligand, which weakens the hybridization between Mo-3d and S-2p orbitals, and in turn makes S-2p orbital more suitable for hybridization with H-1s orbital. Therefore, Co-1T-MoS2 -bpe exhibits excellent stability and exceedingly low overpotential for alkaline HER (118 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ). In addition, integrated into an anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer, Co-1T-MoS2 -bpe is much superior to the Pt/C catalyst at the large current densities. This study provides a feasible ligand modulation strategy for designs of two-dimensional catalysts.

Abstract
To support the global goal of carbon neutrality, numerous efforts have been devoted to the advancement of electrochemical energy conversion (EEC) and electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies. For these technologies, transition metal dichalcogenide/carbon (TMDC/C) heterostructures have emerged as promising candidates for both electrode materials and electrocatalysts over the past decade, due to their complementary advantages. It is worth noting that interfacial properties play a crucial role in establishing the overall electrochemical characteristics of TMDC/C heterostructures. However, despite the significant scientific contribution in this area, a systematic understanding of TMDC/C heterostructures' interfacial engineering is currently lacking. This literature review aims to focus on three types of interfacial engineering, namely interfacial orientation engineering, interfacial stacking engineering, and interfacial doping engineering, of TMDC/C heterostructures for their potential applications in EES and EEC devices. To accomplish this goal, a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches was used to allow the analysis and summary of the fundamental electrochemical properties and preparation strategies of TMDC/C heterostructures. Moreover, this review highlights the design and utilization of the interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures for specific EES and EEC devices. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of using interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures in practical EES and EEC devices are outlined. We expect that this review will effectively guide readers in their understanding, design, and application of interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures.

Abstract
The electron and ion conductivities of anode materials such as MnOx affect critically the properties of anodes in Li-ion batteries. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) nanofiber network (MnOx-MXene/CNFs) for high-speed electron and ion transport with a MnOx surface anchored and embedded inside is designed via electrospinning manganese ion-modified MXene nanosheets and subsequent carbonization. Ion transport analysis reveals improved Li+ transport on the MnOx-MXene/CNF electrode and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculation elucidates the Li+ adsorption and storage mechanism. The surface-anchored MnOx nanoparticles form extremely strong bonds with the nanofibers, and the internally embedded MnOx nanoparticles, due to the fiber confinement effect, ensure the structural stability during charging and discharging, achieving the so-called dual stabilization strategies for cyclic fluctuation. By electrospinning, self-restacking of MXene flakes can be prevented, thereby giving rise to a larger surface area and more accessible active sites on the flexible anode. Benefiting from the 3D network with excellent conductivity and stability, at high current densities, the MnOx-MXene/CNF anode exhibits outstanding electrochemical characteristics. Even after 2000 cycles, a reversible capacity of 1098 mA h g-1 can be obtained at 2 A g-1 with only 0.007208% decay rate. The MnOx-MXene/CNF anode also shows a significant rate performance such as 1268 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 and 1137 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 corresponding to an area specific capacity of 2.536 mA h cm-2 at 4 mA cm-2 and 2.274 mA h cm-2 at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. The results indicate that the MnOx-MXene/CNF anode has excellent Li-ion storage properties and great commercial potential.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as an important class of nanomaterials for technological innovation due to their remarkable physicochemical properties, including sheet-like morphology and minimal thickness, high surface area, tuneable chemical composition, and surface functionalization. These materials are being proposed for new applications in energy, health, and the environment; these are all strategic society sectors toward sustainable development. Specifically, 2D materials for nano-imaging have shown exciting opportunities in in vitro and in vivo models, providing novel molecular imaging techniques such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, fluorescence and luminescence optical imaging and others. Therefore, given the growing interest in 2D materials, it is mandatory to evaluate their impact on the immune system in a broader sense, because it is responsible for detecting and eliminating foreign agents in living organisms. This mini-review presents an overview on the frontier of research involving 2D materials applications, nano-imaging and their immunosafety aspects. Finally, we highlight the importance of nanoinformatics approaches and computational modeling for a deeper understanding of the links between nanomaterial physicochemical properties and biological responses (immunotoxicity/biocompatibility) towards enabling immunosafety-by-design 2D materials.
