[PMID: 38306748 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.01.165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Due to its stability and low cost, the tunnel-style sodium-manganese oxide (Na0.44MnO2) material is deemed a popular cathode choice for sodium-ion rechargeable batteries. However, the Jahn-Teller effect caused by Mn3+ in the material results in poor capacity and cycling stability. The purpose of this experimental study is to partially replace Mn3+ with Fe3+, in order to reduce the Jahn-Teller effect of the material during charging and discharging process. The results of Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that the content of Mn3+ decreased after Fe3+ doping. Electrochemical studies show that the Na0.44Mn0.994Fe0.006O2 cathode has better rate performance (exhibits a reversible capacity of 87.9 mAh/g at 2 C) and cycle stability in sodium-ion batteries. The diffusion coefficient of sodium ions increases by Fe3+ doping. The excellent rate performance and capacity improvement are verified by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. After doping, the band gap decreases significantly, and the results show that the state density of O 2p increases near the Fermi level, which promotes the oxidation-reduction of oxygen. This work provides a straightforward approach to enhance the performance of Na0.44MnO2 nanorods, and this performance improvement has guiding significance for the design of other materials in the energy storage domain.

Abstract
Fe-based Prussian blue (Fe-PB) analogues have emerged as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, owing to their cost-effectiveness, high theoretical capacity, and environmental friendliness. However, their practical application is hindered by [Fe(CN)6] defects, negatively impacting capacity and cycle stability. This work reports a hollow layered Fe-PB composite material using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTA) as a chelating and etching agent by the hydrothermal method. Compared to benzoic acid, our approach significantly reduces defects and enhances the yield of Fe-PB. Notably, the hollow layered structure shortens the diffusion path of sodium ions, enhances the activity of low-spin Fe in the Fe-PB lattice, and mitigates volume changes during Na-ion insertion/extraction into/from Fe-PB. As a sodium-ion battery cathode, this hollow layered Fe-PB exhibits an impressive initial capacity of 95.9 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 1 A g-1. Even after 500 cycles, it still maintains a considerable discharge capacity of 73.1 mAh g-1, showing a significantly lower capacity decay rate (0.048%) compared to the control sample (0.089%). Moreover, the full cell with BTA-PB-1.6 as the cathode and HC as the anode provides a considerable energy density of 312.2 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 291.0 W kg-1. This research not only enhances the Na storage performance of Fe-PB but also increases the yield of products obtained by hydrothermal methods, providing some technical reference for the production of PB materials using the low-yield hydrothermal method.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contaminations in food and environment seriously harms human health. Constructing sensitive and point-of-test early-warning tools for mycotoxin determination is in high demand. In this study, a CuCo@PDA nanozyme-based aptamer-mediated lateral flow assay (Apt-LFA) has been elaborately designed for on-site and sensitive determination of mycotoxin Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Benefiting from the rich functional groups and excellent peroxidase-like activity, the CuCo@PDA with original dark color can be conjugated with the specific recognition probe (i.e., aptamer), generating colorimetric signal on the test lines of Apt-LFA via a competitive sensing strategy. The signal can further be amplified in-situ by catalytic chromogenic reaction. Therefore, a visual and dual-readout detection of AFB1 has been realized. The developed Apt-LFA provides a flexible detection mode for qualitative and quantitative analysis of AFB1 by naked-eyes observation or smartphone readout. The smartphone-based LFA platform shows a reliable and ultrasensitive determination of AFB1 with the limit of detection (LOD) of 2.2 pg/mL. The recoveries in the real samples are in the range of 95.11-113.77% with coefficients of variations less than 9.84%. This study provides a new approach to realize point-of-test and sensitive detection of mycotoxins in food and environment using nanozyme-based Apt-LFAs.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) with a Pt-like d-band electron structure exhibits certain activities for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR/OER) in alkaline solutions, but it is questioned due to its poor OER stability. Combining Mo2C with transition metals alloy is a feasible way to stabilize its electrochemical activity. Herein, CoFe-Prussian blue analogues are used as a precursor to compound with graphitic carbon nitride and Mo6+ to synthesize FeCo alloy and Mo2C co-encapsulated N-doped carbon (NG-CoFe/Mo2C). The morphology of NG-CoFe/Mo2C (800 °C) shows that CoFe/Mo2C heterojunctions are well wrapped by N-doped graphitic carbon. Carbon coating not only inhibits growth and agglomeration of Mo2C/CoFe, but also enhances corrosion resistance of NG-CoFe/Mo2C. NG-CoFe/Mo2C (800 °C) exhibits an excellent half-wave potential (E1/2 = 0.880 V) for ORR. It also obtains a lower OER overpotential (325 mV) than RuO2 due to the formation of active species (CoOOH/β-FeOOH, as indicated by in-situ X-ray diffraction tests). E1/2 shifts only 6 mV after 5000 ORR cycles, while overpotential for OER increases only 19 mV after 1000 cycles. ORR/OER performances of NG-CoFe/Mo2C (800 °C) are close to or better than those of many recently reported catalysts. It provides an interfacial engineering strategy to enhance the intrinsic activity and stability of carbides modified by transition-metals alloy for oxygen electrocatalysis.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 is one of the most studied polyanion type cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and offers great promises. However, the inferior rate capability induced by its sluggish diffusion of electrons and ions greatly limits the practical application of electrode materials in SIBs. Herein, we develop an efficient method to fabricate in situ carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 nanosheets by using cost-effective amylopectin. The amylopectin not only could induce the nucleation of Na3V2(PO4)2F3 along its backbone to form a 2D nanostructure, but also act as a source of amorphous carbon for in situ coating on the active material surface. The composite exhibits extraordinary rate capability (104 mA h g-1 at 40 C, 51 mA h g-1 at 150 C) and desirable cycling stability. Such satisfactory achievements, especially the superior rate performance, should be ascribed to its unique 2D nanostructure which shortens the Na+ diffusion length, and the in situ carbon coating endows the composites with effective electron transport. Even applied to full cells, the obtained devices still display an exceptionally high energy density (94.8 W h kg-1), high power density (7295 W kg-1), and excellent cyclic stability.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are considered one of the promising cathodes for sodium-ion batteries because of their low cost and tunable structure. As an intrinsic characteristic, the influence of structured water in PBAs on the electrochemical properties is still controversial. Herein, low-vacancy iron hexacyanoferrate with different interstitial water contents is synthesized through the citric acid-assisted single iron source method. Ex situ Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction characterization reveals that the interstitial water can stably exist in the Prussian blue framework during repeated cycling. The long-standing interstitial water can reduce the volume change during the Na+ insertion/extraction process, resulting in improved cycling stability. Thanks to the low Fe(CN)64- vacancies and pillar role of interstitial water in the crystal framework, the HW-PB exhibits a high reversible capacity of 117 mAh g-1 and excellent long cycle performance with a capacity retention of 91% after 1380 cycles. This work broadens the understanding of the relationship between the interstitial water in PBAs and Na-storage performances, providing guidance for the precise synthesis of high-quality PBAs.
