Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1320:343021. [PMID: 39142790 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.343021] [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: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As persistent organic pollutants (POPs), the accumulation of p-acetylaminophenol (PAT) and p-aminophenol (PAP) in water can seriously damage the health of plants and animals, ultimately leading to threats to human health and safety. Electrochemical sensors have the advantages of being fast, inexpensive, and accurate compared to the complex, expensive, and cumbersome conventional analytical methods. In this study, we designed and synthesized composites with two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) porous structures to construct an efficient electrochemical platform for the simultaneous detection of PAT and PAP. RESULTS In this work, a novel 3D foamy birnessite Na0.55Mn2O4·1.5H2O@C (SMOH@C) was synthesized, which was composited with 2D ordered mesoporous nanosheets (mNPC) to construct electrochemical sensors detecting PAT and PAP simultaneously. The prepared 2D/3D porous structure of mNPC/SMOH@C increased the exposure of active sites due to its large specific surface area. The introduction of a 3D carbon skeleton altered the charge transfer rate of SMOH@C, and the rich pore structure and oxygen-rich vacancies created favorable conditions for the diffusion and adsorption of PAP and PAT, which enabled the sensitive detection of PAT and PAP. The constructed mNPC/SMOH@C electrochemical sensor could simultaneously detect PAT (1 × 10-7 - 1 × 10-4 M) and PAP (5 × 10-8 - 1 × 10-4 M) with detection limits of 20.4 nM and 30.1 nM, respectively. The sensor has good repeatability (RSD <4 %) and reproducibility (RSD <4 %), and satisfactory recoveries (96.7-102.8 %) were obtained in the analysis of natural water samples. SIGNIFICANCE In this paper, for the first time, we present the synthesis of 3D foam birnessite and its composite with mNPC for the electrochemical simultaneous detection of PAT and PAP. Our proposed strategy for fabricating 2D/3D porous composites lays the foundation for the design and synthesis of other porous materials. In addition, this study provides new ideas for developing efficient and practical electrochemical sensors for detecting pollutants in aquatic environments.

Abstract
Establishing a durable interfacial layer between an electrode and electrolyte to enable micron-sized silicon-based lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes to achieve superior electrochemical performance is highly desired. Recent studies have shown that heterogeneous encapsulation with enhanced ion/electron transport is an effective strategy. However, the structural design of the existing hetero-coated interface lacks a reasonable ion/electron transport channel, resulting in high interfacial impedance. Herein, we designed a heterogenous MXene-mesoporous polypyrrole (mPPy) encapsulation layer onto micron-sized SiO particles. The MXene coating layer functions as a bridging interface that can build a strong chemical link to internal SiO via covalent bonding, thus reinforcing interfacial charge transfer rate. Meanwhile, it forms a dynamic connection with the outer mPPy through hydrogen bonding, which contributes to high interfacial Li+ concentration and ion/electron coupling transport rate. Accordingly, the as-prepared SiO@MXene@mPPy anode delivers a boosted specific capacity of 673.9 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 1000 cycles and high-rate capability of 777.4 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1. Further, electrochemical kinetic analysis indicates that the MXene@mPPy coating layer shows a pseudocapacitance controlled Li storage mechanism, thereby displaying improved high-rate capability. This porous hybrid encapsulation strategy offers new possibilities for a micron-sized SiO anode to achieve an excellent performance.

Abstract
Conducting polymers with conjugated backbones have been widely used in electrochemical energy storage, catalysts, gas sensors and biomedical devices. In particular, two-dimensional (2D) mesoporous conducting polymers combine the advantages of mesoporous structure and 2D nanosheet morphology with the inherent properties of conducting polymers, thus exhibiting improved electrochemical performance. Despite the use of bottom-up self-assembly approaches for the fabrication of a variety of mesoporous materials over the past decades, the synchronous control of the dimensionalities and mesoporous architectures for conducting polymer nanomaterials remains a challenge. Here, we detail a simple, general and robust route for the preparation of a series of 2D mesoporous conducting polymer nanosheets with adjustable pore size (5-20 nm) and thickness (13-45 nm) and controllable morphology and composition via solution-based self-assembly. The synthesis conditions and preparation procedures are detailed to ensure the reproducibility of the experiments. We describe the fabrication of over ten high-quality 2D-ordered mesoporous conducting polymers and sandwich-structured hybrids, with tunable thickness, porosity and large specific surface area, which can serve as potential candidates for high-performance electrode materials used in supercapacitors and alkali metal ion batteries, and so on. The preparation time of the 2D-ordered mesoporous conducting polymer is usually no more than 12 h. The subsequent supercapacitor testing takes ~24 h and the Na ion battery testing takes ~72 h. The procedure is suitable for users with expertise in physics, chemistry, materials and other related disciplines.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) mesoporous polymers, combining the advantages of organic polymers, porous materials, and 2D materials, have received great attention in adsorption, catalysis, and energy storage. However, the synthesis of 2D mesoporous polymers is not only challenged by the complex 2D structure construction, but also by the low yield and difficulty in controlling the dynamics of the assembly during the generation of mesopores. Herein, a facile multi-dimensional molecular self-assembly strategy is reported for the preparation of 2D mesoporous polydiaminopyridines (MPDAPs), which features tunable pore sizes (17-35 nm) and abundant N content up to 18.0 at%. Benefitting from the abundant N sites, 2D nanostructure, and uniform-large mesopores, the 2D MPDAPs exhibit excellent catalytic performance for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. After calcination under N2 atmosphere, the obtained 2D N-doped mesoporous carbon (NMCs) with large and uniform pore sizes, high surface areas, abundant N content (up to 23.1%), and a high ratio of basic N species (57.0% pyridinic N and 35.9% pyrrolic N) can show an excellent CO2 uptake density (11.7 µmol m-2 at 273 K), higher than previously reported porous materials.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a simple approach, using interfacial self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) on self-sacrificial templates, for preparing mesoporous carbons with in-plane holey pores, including nitrogen atom-doped carbon nanosheets and nanoflowers (denoted as NHCSs and NHCFs). The approach employed sheet- or flower-like layered double hydroxide as the templates, P123 copolymer as the pore-directing agent, and m-phenylenediamine as the carbon source. The holey mesopores may shorten the mass transfer distance to the internal active sites of stacked nanosheets, while the three-dimensional (3D) packing mode of nanosheets can reduce pore blockage caused by their tight stacking. Profiting from these structural advantages, acting as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), both NHCSs and NHCFs show excellent catalytic performance better than that of carbon nanosheets without holey pores. Particularly, NHCFs exhibit a high half-wave-potential (0.82V) and a limiting current density (5.4 mA cm-2 ), close to those of commercial Pt/C catalysts. This study provides valuable clues on building mesoporous materials with in-plane holey pores as well as on the effect of pore structure and stacking mode of 2D materials on their electrocatalytic ORR performance.

Abstract
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been recognized as a promising large-scale film preparation technology for industrial application. Inspired by the conventional EPD method and the crystal diffusion growth strategy, we propose a modified electrophoretic-induced self-assembly deposition (EPAD) technique to control the morphologies of organic functional materials. Here, an ionic-type dye with a conjugated skeleton and strong noncovalent interactions, celestine blue (CB), is chosen as a module molecule for EPAD investigation. As expected, CB molecules can assemble into different nanostructures, dominated by applied voltage, concentration effect, and duration. Compared to a nanopillar layered packing structure formed by the traditional spin-coating method, the EPAD approach can produce a nanofiber structure under a fixed condition of 10 V/10 min. Intriguingly, a memristor device based on a pillar-like nanostructure exhibits WORM-type behavior, while a device based on nanofibers presents Flash memory performance. The assemble process and the memory mechanism are uncovered by molecular dynamics simulations and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work endows the typical EPD technique with a fresh application scenario, where an in-depth study on the growth mechanism of nanofibers and the positive effect of unique morphologies on memristor performance are offered.

Abstract
Ammonia gas sensors have always received significant attention as robust platforms for emission control, food safety, and monitoring human exhaled breath for the early diagnosis of diseases such as dysfunction of the kidney and liver. This study explores the development of a microwave-based split-ring resonator (SRR) sensor with enhanced sensitivity to detect ammonia gas at low concentrations. The sensor is based on a nanocomposite fabricated by incorporating 10 wt% of graphene oxide (GO) into polyaniline (PANI) via the in-situ polymerization of aniline monomers over the surface of the GO sheets. The addition of GO to PANI results in a high sensitivity of 0.038 dB ppm-1 for low concentrations (1-25 ppm) and 0.0045 dB ppm-1 for high concentrations (> 25 ppm) of ammonia gas, in a 150-400 s time interval at room temperature. The prepared sensor can selectively sense ammonia gas in the presence of other higher concentrations of hazardous gases and a wide range of relative humidity levels (15-90%). The response signal is repeatable after 30 days with less than 0.32% deviation. The developed low-cost and robust sensor has the potential to monitor ammonia gas in various applications, including medical, environmental, food, and agricultural sectors.

Abstract
Conductive polymers (CPs) integrate the inherent characteristics of conventional polymers and the unique electrical properties of metals. They have aroused tremendous interest over the last decade owing to their high conductivity, robust and flexible properties, facile fabrication, and cost-effectiveness. Compared to bulk CPs, porous CPs with well-defined nano- or microstructures possess open porous architectures, high specific surface areas, more exposed reactive sites, and remarkably enhanced activities. These attractive features have led to their applications in sensors, energy storage and conversion devices, biomedical devices, and so on. In this review article, the different strategies for synthesizing porous CPs, including template-free and template-based methods, are summarized, and the importance of tuning the morphology and pore structure of porous CPs to optimize their functional performance is highlighted. Moreover, their representative applications (energy storage devices, sensors, biomedical devices, etc.) are also discussed. The review is concluded by discussing the current challenges and future development trend in this field.

BiOBr/MoS 2 catalyst as heterogenous peroxymonosulfate activator toward organic pollutant removal: Energy band alignment and mechanism insight. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 594:635-649. [PMID: 33780767 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.03.066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Utilization of heterogenous catalysts to trigger peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is considered an efficient strategy for environmental decontamination. Herein, a tightly bonded flake-like 2D/2D BiOBr/MoS2 heterojunction was successfully designed through co-precipitation process. By virtue of matched energy levels and intimate interfacial coupling, the Type-II BiOBr/MoS2 heterojunction significantly expedited charge carrier transfer and thereby promoted the catalytic performance for organic dye oxidation and Cr(VI) reduction. The specially designed BiOBr/MoS2 heterojunction is also conducive to split PMS and continuously generated highly active species (SO4-, OH and O2-) in a photo-Fenton system, achieving extraordinary catalytic capacity for various emerging organic pollutants (including phenol, bisphenol A and carbamazepine). The photoexcited electron with prolonged lifetime and exposed Mo sites with multivalence and multiphase nature can effectively activate PMS, which further promotes the oxidation efficiency of holes, as confirmed by scavenging experiments. The excellent stability and oxidative properties could justify scale up using BiOBr/MoS2 to a small pilot test, implementing the potential value in practical applications. This study would provide novel insight and cognition of PMS activation via a superior heterojunction for complex polluted wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Fullerene-based low-dimensional (LD) heterostructures have emerged as excellent energy conversion materials. We constructed van der Waals 1T-MoS2/C60 0D-2D heterostructures via a one-pot synthetic approach for catalytic hydrogen generation. The interfacial 1T-MoS2-C60 and C60-C60 interactions as well as their electrocatalytic properties were finely controlled by varying the weight percentages of the fullerenes. 1T-MoS2 platforms provided a novel template for the formation of C60 nanosheets (NSs) within a very narrow fullerene concentration range. The heterostructure domains of 1T-MoS2 and C60 NSs exhibited excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performances, with one of the lowest onset potentials and ΔGH* values for LD non-precious nanomaterials reported to date.

Abstract
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are the thinnest functional semiconducting materials available today. Among them, both molybdenum trioxide and chalcogenides (MT&Ds) represent key components within the family of different 2D semiconductors for various electronic, optoelectronic and electrochemical applications due to their unique electronic, optical, mechanical and electrochemical properties. However, despite great progress in research dedicated to the development and fabrication of 2D MT&Ds observed within the last decade, there are significant challenges that affected their charge transport behavior and fabrication on a large scale as well as there is high dependence of the carrier mobility on the thickness. In this article, we review the recent progress in the carrier mobility engineering of 2D MT&Ds and elaborate devised strategies dedicated to the optimization of MT&D properties. Specifically, the latest physical and chemical methods towards the surface functionalization and optimization of the major factors influencing the extrinsic transport at the electrode-2D semiconductor interface are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, samples of activated mesoporous carbon are fabricated with pore structures with cylinder and gyroid nanostructures through the templating effect of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide-block-caprolactone) (PEO-PCL) and by using specific resol/PEO-PCL weight ratios (e.g., 60:40 for cylinders; 55:45 for gyroids). After carbonization and KOH activation, the activated mesoporous carbons were tested as electrode materials for electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) supercapacitors. The electrochemical properties were examined by using three-electrode (6 m KOH(aq) as electrolyte) and CR2032 coin-cell (1 m tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEABF4 )/CN as the electrolyte) systems. The gyroid carbon samples provided specific capacitances higher than those of the cylinder carbon samples in both aqueous and organic systems: 155 F g-1 compared with 135 F g-1 in 6 m KOH(aq) , and 105.6 compared with 96 F g-1 in 1 m TEABF4 /MeCN, after 100 charge/discharge cycles. It is suspected that the bi-continuous mesochannels of the gyroid-type activated mesoporous carbons provided a relatively higher effective adsorption surface area; in other words, the greater surface area for energy storage originated from a moderate pore size and an interconnected pore structure.

Abstract
The main challenge in water electrolysis, an appealing technique to alleviate future energy crisis, is the design of efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). On the basis of an interface self-assembly approach, we synthesize mesoporous nitrogen-doped carbon/Mo2C/reduced graphene oxide nanohybrids (denoted as mNC-Mo2C@rGO), which represent a new type of two-dimensional Mo2C/carbon hybrid nanomaterials and possess a sandwichlike structure with well-defined mesopores. The method involves the co-self-assembly of spherical micelles formed from polystyrene- block-poly(ethylene oxide), pyrrole (Py) monomers, and molybdate ions (Mo7O246-) on GO surfaces in aqueous solution, followed by polymerization of Py and calcination of the nanocomposites at 900 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. The resultant mNC-Mo2C@rGO nanosheets possess high N contents, large specific surface areas (SSAs), and 4 nm Mo2C particles well-distributed in the mesoporous carbon matrix. The Mo2C content is controllable in the range of 18.4-42.4 wt % by adjusting the feed amount of Mo7O246-. In particular, mNC-Mo2C@rGO with an SSA of 344 m2/g and a Mo2C content of ca. 28 wt % exhibits the highest HER catalytic activity in 1 M KOH electrolyte, with a 95 mV overpotential at 10 mA/cm2, a Tafel slope of 49.8 mV/dec, and a long-term stability of 60 h at 20 mA/cm2. This study blazes a trail for the synthesis of new functional nanomaterials with potential applications as efficient HER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbide-containing nanomaterials have drawn considerable attention in the application of hydrogen production electrocatalysts in light of the high abundance, low cost, and Pt-like electronic structure of molybdenum carbide. In this article, we report the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) Mo2C/carbon mesoporous nanotubes (Mo2C/C PNTs) through a dual-template self-assembly approach, which employs 1D MoO3 nanobelts as the structure-directing template as well as one of the Mo2C precursors, along with block copolymer (BCP) micelles as the pore-forming template. In aqueous solution, the interface self-assembly of the micelles with pyrrole (Py) molecules absorbed in the PEO domains leads to the tight arrangement of the micelles on the surfaces of the MoO3 nanobelts. The polymerization of Py and the subsequent pyrolysis at 800 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere yield Mo2C/C PNTs with well-defined mesopores. Among the resultant Mo2C/C PNT samples, Mo2C/C PNTs with a specific surface area of 69 m2/g, a N atom percentage of 5.5 atom %, and an optimum Mo2C content of 40 wt % exhibit the highest HER catalytic performance in 0.5 M H2SO4 electrolyte, with a low onset potential of 34 mV, a satisfied overpotential of 140 mV at 10 mA/cm2, and excellent cycling stability. This study not only opens an avenue toward new Mo2C-containing nanomaterials but also provides a new system for the fundamental study on 1D porous nanohybrids with potential applications as hydrogen production electrocatalysts.
