Abstract
Electrocatalysis is generally confined to dynamic liquid-solid and gas-solid interfaces and is rarely applicable in solid-state reactions. Here, we report a paradigm shift strategy to exploit electrocatalysis to accelerate solid-state reactions in the context of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). We employ heteroatom doping, specifically boron for silicon and sulfur for phosphorus, to catalyze electrochemical Li-alloying reactions in solid-state electrode materials. The preferential cleavage of polar dopant-host chemical bonds upon lithiation triggers chemical bond breaking of the host material. This solid-state catalysis, distinct from liquid and gas phases, requires a critical doping concentration for optimal performance. Beyond a critical concentration of ∼1 atom %, boron and sulfur doping drastically reduces activation energies and accelerates redox kinetics during lithiation/delithiation processes, leading to markedly enhanced rate performance in boron-doped silicon and sulfur-doped black/red phosphorus anode. Notably, a sulfur-doped black phosphorus anode coupled with a lithium cobalt oxide cathode achieves an ultrafast-charging battery, recharging 80% energy of a battery in 302 Wh kg-1 in 9 min, surpassing the thus far reported LIBs.

Abstract
Artificial heterostructures with structural advancements and customizable electronic interfaces are fundamental for achieving high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, a design idea for a covalently bonded lateral/vertical black phosphorus (BP)-graphdiyne oxide (GDYO) heterostructure achieved through a facile ball-milling approach, is designed. Lateral heterogeneity is realized by the sp2-hybridized mode P-C bonds, which connect the phosphorus atoms at the edges of BP with the carbon atoms of the terminal acetylene in GDYO. The vertical connection of the heterojunction of BP and GDYO is connected by P-O-C bond. Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that BP-GDYO incorporates interfacial and structural engineering features, including built-in electric fields, chemical bond interactions, and maximized nanospace confinement effects. Therefore, BP-GDYO exhibits improved electrochemical kinetics and enhanced structural stability. Moreover, through ex- and in-situ studies, the lithiation mechanism of BP-GDYO, highlighting that the introduction of GDYO inhibits the shuttle/dissolution effect of phosphorus intermediates, hinders volume expansion, provides more reactive sites, and ultimately promotes reversible lithium storage, is clarified. The BP-GDYO anode exhibits lithium storage performance with high-rate capacity and long-cycle stability (602.6 mAh g-1 after 1 000 cycles at 2.0 A g-1). The proposed interfacial and structural engineering is universal and represents a conceptual advance in building high-performance LIBs electrode.

Abstract
The conversion of biomass and natural wastes into carbon-based materials for various applications such as catalysts and energy-related materials is a fascinating and sustainable approach emerged during recent years. Precursor nature and characteristics are complex, hence, their effect on the properties of resulting materials is still unclear. In this work, we have investigated the effect of different precursors and pyrolysis temperature on the properties of produced carbon materials and their potential application as negative electrode materials in Li-ion batteries. Three biomasses, lignocellulosic brewery spent grain from a local brewery, catechol-rich lignin and tannins, were selected for investigations. We show that such end-product carbon characteristic as functional and elemental composition, porosity, specific surface area, defectiveness level, and morphology strictly depend on the precursor composition, chemical structure, and pyrolysis temperature. The electrochemical characteristics of produced carbon materials correlate with the characteristics of the produced materials. A higher pyrolysis temperature is shown to be favourable for production of carbon material for the Li-ion battery application in terms of both specific capacity and long-term cycling stability.

A novel strategy to enhance photocatalytic killing of foodborne pathogenic bacteria by modification of non-metallic monomeric black phosphorus with Elaeagnus mollis polysaccharides.

Abstract
New antibacterial agents are needed to overcome the challenges of microbial food contamination. In this study, we investigated the potential of Elaeagnus mollis polysaccharide (EMP) to modify black phosphorus (BP) for use as a bactericide for foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The resulting compound (EMP-BP) displayed enhanced stability and activity compared with BP. EMP-BP exhibited an increased antibacterial activity (bactericidal efficiency of 99.999 % after 60 min of light exposure) compared to EMP and BP. Further studies revealed that photocatalytically generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and active polysaccharides acted collectively on the cell membrane, leading to cell deformation and death. Furthermore, EMP-BP inhibited biofilm formation and reduced expression of virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus, and material hemolysis and cytotoxicity tests prove that the material had good biocompatibility. In addition, bacteria treated with EMP-BP remained highly sensitive to antibiotics and did not develop significant resistance. In summary, we report an environmentally friendly method for controlling pathogenic foodborne bacteria that is efficient and apparently safe.

Abstract
Numerous layered materials are being recognized as promising candidates for high-performance alkali-ion battery anodes, but black phosphorus (BP) has received particular attention. This is due to its high specific capacity, due to a mixed alkali-ion storage mechanism (intercalation-alloying), and fast alkali-ion transport within its layers. Unfortunately, BP based batteries are also commonly associated with serious irreversible losses and poor cycling stability. This is known to be linked to alloying, but there is little experimental evidence of the morphological, mechanical, or chemical changes that BP undergoes in operational cells and thus little understanding of the factors that must be mitigated to optimize performance. Here the degradation mechanisms of BP alkali-ion battery anodes are revealed through operando electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM) and ex situ spectroscopy. Among other phenomena, BP is observed to wrinkle and deform during intercalation but suffers from complete structural breakdown upon alloying. The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is also found to be unstable, nucleating at defects before spreading across the basal planes but then disintegrating upon desodiation, even above alloying potentials. By directly linking these localized phenomena with the whole-cell performance, we can now engineer stabilizing protocols for next-generation high-capacity alkali-ion batteries.
