Synthesis of Fe-N doped porous carbon/silicate composites regulated by minerals in coal gasification fine slag for synergistic electrocatalytic treatment of phenolic wastewater. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118643. [PMID: 38458590 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Coal gasification fine slag (CGFS), as a difficult-to-dispose solid waste in the coal chemical industry, consists of minerals and residual carbon. Due to the aggregate structure of minerals blocking pores and encapsulating active substances, the high-value utilization of CGFS still remains a challenge. Based on the intrinsic characteristics of CGFS, this study synthesized Fe-N doped porous carbon/silicate composites (Fe-NC) by alkali activation and pyrolysis for electrocatalytic degradation of phenolic wastewater. Meanwhile, minerals were utilized to regulate the surface chemical and pore structure, turning their disadvantages into advantages, which caused a sharp increase in m-cresol mineralization. The positive effect of minerals on composite properties was investigated by characterization techniques, electrochemical analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that the mesoporous structure of the mineral-regulated composites was further developed, with more carbon defects and reactive substances on its surface. Most importantly, silicate mediated iron conversion through strong interaction with H2O2, high work function gradient with electroactive iron, and excellent superoxide radical (•O2-) production capacity. It effectively improved the reversibility and kinetics of the entire electrocatalytic reaction. Within the Fe-NC311 electrocatalytic system, the m-cresol removal rate reached 99.55 ± 1.24%, surpassing most reported Fe-N-doped electrocatalysts. In addition, the adsorption and electrooxidation experiment confirmed that the synergistic effect of Fe-N doped porous carbon and silicate simultaneously promoted the capture of pollutants and the transformation of electroactive molecules, and hence effectively shortened the diffusion path of short-lived radicals, which was further supported by molecular dynamics simulation. Therefore, this research provides new insights into the problem of mineral limitations and opens an innovative approach for CGFS recycling and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Desalination reverse osmosis reject brine-based porous geopolymer (RO/GP) was produced and investigated as an improved adsorbent for phosphorus (P) removal from tainted seawater, brackish water, river water, and municipal wastewater effluent. The RO reject brine/geopolymer was produced by reacting metakaolin and fly ash with a Na-alkali activator and anhydrous RO brine as a sacrificial template. The influence of RO reject brine content on water absorption, porosity, mechanical, and structural properties were examined. The developed RO-based geopolymers exhibited the greatest porosity (58.3-84.2 % vol%), a significant ratio of open porosity to total porosity (67.7-92.1 %), and outstanding compression strength (3.6-10.4 MPa). The produced RO/GP structure has an adsorption capacity of 92.4 mg-P/g. The sequestration reaction of phosphorus by RO/GP is of pseudo-second-order kinetic behavior via Chi-squared (χ2), RMSE, and determination coefficient (R2) values. Regarding their agreement with Langmuir behavior, the phosphorus adsorption uptakes occur in homogeneous and monolayer states. The reaction is exothermic, spontaneous, and favorable. The RO/GP exhibits significant affinity for phosphorus co-existing with Cl-, Na+, SO42-, K+, HCO3-, and Ca2+. The RO/GP shows high safety during the adsorption investigation, with a total cost of 0.32 $/kg-P.

Abstract
The exploration and synthesis of novel materials are integral to scientific and technological progress. Since the prediction and synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) materials, it is expected to play an important role in the application of industrialization and the information age, resulting from its excellent physical and chemical properties. Currently, researchers have effectively utilized a range of material synthesis techniques, including mechanical exfoliation, redox reactions, chemical vapor deposition, and chemical vapor transport, to fabricate two-dimensional materials. However, despite their rapid development, the widespread industrial application of 2D materials faces challenges due to demanding synthesis requirements and high costs. To address these challenges, assisted growth techniques such as salt-assisted, gas-assisted, organic-assisted, and template-assisted growth have emerged as promising approaches. Herein, this study gives a summary of important developments in recent years in the assisted growth synthesis of 2D materials. Additionally, it highlights the current difficulties and possible benefits of the assisted-growth approach for 2D materials.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped molybdenum trioxide (MoO3/NC) has drawbacks such as volume expansion during long-term charging and discharging cycles, which severely limit its further application. This work proposes the addition of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) for performance improvement of MoO3/NC. TiO2 NPs embedded on the surface of a MoO3/NC nanosheet can alleviate its volume expansion and the accumulation of lithiated products and improve the conductivity of the electrode material. The results show that the MoO3/NC nanosheet decorated with TiO2 NPs (TiO2@MoO3/NC), when used as an electrode material, exhibited a discharge specific capacity of 419 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.05 A g-1 and retained a discharge specific capacity of 517 mA h g-1 after 600 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1.

Abstract
Manganese is an attractive element for sustainable solutions. It is largely available in the earth's crust, making it ideal for cost-effective and large-scale applications. Especially MnO nanoparticles have recently received attention for applications in battery technology. However, manganese has many oxidation states that are energetically very similar, indicating that they may easily transform from one to the other. Herein, the reversible oxidation of MnO nanoparticles to Mn3 O4 studied with in situ transmission electron microscopy is shown. The oxygen sublattices of MnO and Mn3 O4 are found to be perfectly aligned, and an atomic mechanism where the transformation is facilitated by the migration of Mn cations on the shared O sublattice is proposed. Even when protected with an amorphous carbon layer, MnO particles are highly unstable and oxidize to Mn3 O4 in ethanol. The poor stability of MnO lacks discussion in many battery-related works, and strategies aimed at avoiding this should be developed.

Abstract
Multiple oxidation-state metal oxide has presented a promising charge storage capability for aqueous supercapacitors (SCs); however, the ion insert/deinsert behavior in the bulk phase generally gives a sluggish reaction kinetic and considerable volume effect. Herein, iron oxide/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (Fe2O3/PEDOT) heterointerface was constructed and enabled boosted Faradaic pseudocapacitance by dual-ion-involved redox reactions in Na2SO3 electrolytes. The Fe2O3/PEDOT interface served as a "bridge" to couple electrode and anion SO32- and exhibited a strong force and stable bonding with SO32-, thus providing an additional Faradaic charge storage contribution for SCs. Significantly, the PEDOT-capsulated Fe2O3 nanorod array (Fe2O3@PEDOT) electrode presented a specific capacitance of 338 mF cm-2 at 1 mA cm-2 with 1 M Na2SO3 electrolyte, which was twice that of the pristine Fe2O3 nanorod electrode. The boosted interfaced Faradaic reaction of SO32- partially hindered the intercalation of Na+ in the Fe2O3 bulk phase, efficiently favoring the electrochemical stability.

Abstract
Mechanical exfoliation technology is vital for the development of two-dimensional (2D) materials. This technology has also facilitated the verification of the performance of electronic and optical devices made from 2D materials. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of exfoliation techniques and highlight key physical properties. Additionally, we explored the chemical instability of certain 2D materials and proposed practical solutions to enhance their stability. Furthermore, we discuss the advantages of suspended 2D materials, which demonstrate improved compatibility and properties compared to nonsuspended materials. A particularly intriguing aspect of this Perspective is the exploration of the similarities between the Earth's crust and 2D materials, offering insights into the formation mechanisms of geological phenomena. In this context, 2D materials may serve as simulators for studying geological processes. We hope that this Perspective stimulates further research into exfoliation technology and the physical/chemical properties of 2D materials while providing new inspiration for earth science investigations.

Herein, we report a convenient and robust method to synthesize a series of crystalline covalent triazine framework nanosheets (CTF NSs) with a thickness of ∼80 nm via a new solvent-free salt-catalyzed nitrile cyclotrimerization process, which enables the cost-effective large-scale preparation of crystalline CTF NSs at the hundred-gram level. Theoretical calculations and detailed experiments revealed for the first time that the conventional salts such as KCl can not only act as physical templates as traditionally believed but also more importantly can efficiently catalyze the cyclotrimerization reaction of carbonitrile monomers as a new kind of green solid catalysts to achieve crystalline CTF NSs. Upon simple liquid-phase sonication, these CTF NSs can be easily further exfoliated into abundant single-layer crystalline 2D triazine polymers (2D-TPs) in high yields. The obtained atomically thin crystalline 2D-TPs with a band gap of 2.36 eV and rich triazine active groups exhibited a remarkable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 1321 μmol h-1 under visible light irradiation with an apparent quantum yield up to 29.5% at 420 nm and excellent photocatalytic overall water splitting activity with a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency up to 0.35%, which exceed all molecular framework materials and are among the best metal-free photocatalysts ever reported. Moreover, the processable 2D-TPs could be readily assembled on a support as a photocatalytic film device, which demonstrated superior photocatalytic performance (135.2 mmol h-1 m-2 for hydrogen evolution).

Abstract
2D metal oxides have aroused increasing attention in the field of electronics and optoelectronics due to their intriguing physical properties. In this review, an overview of recent advances on synthesis of 2D metal oxides and their electronic applications is presented. First, the tunable physical properties of 2D metal oxides that relate to the structure (various oxidation-state forms, polymorphism, etc.), crystallinity and defects (anisotropy, point defects, and grain boundary), and thickness (quantum confinement effect, interfacial effect, etc.) are discussed. Then, advanced synthesis methods for 2D metal oxides besides mechanical exfoliation are introduced and classified into solution process, vapor-phase deposition, and native oxidation on a metal source. Later, the various roles of 2D metal oxides in widespread applications, i.e., transistors, inverters, photodetectors, piezotronics, memristors, and potential applications (solar cell, spintronics, and superconducting devices) are discussed. Finally, an outlook of existing challenges and future opportunities in 2D metal oxides is proposed.

Abstract
Bottom-up electrochemical synthesis of atomically thin materials is desirable yet challenging, especially for non-vanderWaals (non-vdW) materials. Thicknesses below a few nanometers have not been reported yet, posing the question how thin can non-vdW materials be electrochemically synthesized. This is important as materials with (sub-)unit-cell thickness often show remarkably different properties compared to their bulk form or thin films of several nanometers thickness. Here, a straightforward electrochemical method utilizing the angstrom-confinement of laminar reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanochannels is introduced to obtain a centimeter-scale network of atomically thin (<4.3 Å) 2D-transition metal oxides (2D-TMO). The angstrom-confinement provides a thickness limitation, forcing sub-unit-cell growth of 2D-TMO with oxygen and metal vacancies. It is showcased that Cr2 O3 , a material without significant catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in bulk form, can be activated as a high-performing catalyst if synthesized in the 2D sub-unit-cell form. This method displays the high activity of sub-unit-cell form while retaining the stability of bulk form, promising to yield unexplored fundamental science and applications. It is shown that while retaining the advantages of bottom-up electrochemical synthesis, like simplicity, high yield, and mild conditions, the thickness of TMO can be limited to sub-unit-cell dimensions.

Abstract
Tungsten oxide (WO3) nanosheets were prepared as catalysts to activate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in arsenite (As(III)) oxidation. Ice particles were employed as templates to synthesize the WO3 nanosheets, enabling easy template removal via melting. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed that the obtained WO3 nanosheets were plate-like, with lateral sizes ranging from dozens of nanometers to hundreds of nanometers and thicknesses of <10 nm. Compared to that of the WO3 nanoparticle/H2O2 system, a higher efficiency of As(III) oxidation was observed in the WO3 nanosheet/H2O2 system. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy, radical quenching studies, and As(III) oxidation experiments under anoxic conditions suggested that the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2●) acted as the primary oxidant. The WO3 nanosheets possessed numerous surface hydroxyl groups and electrophilic metal centers, enhancing the production of HO2● via H2O2 activation. Various anions commonly present in As(III)-contaminated water exhibited little effect on As(III) oxidation in the WO3 nanosheet/H2O2 system. The high oxidation efficiency was maintained by adding H2O2 when it was depleted, suggesting that the catalytic activity of the WO3 nanosheets did not deteriorate after multiple catalytic cycles.

Abstract
In recent years, the increasing energy requirement and consumption necessitates further improvement in energy storage technologies to obtain high cycling stability, power and energy density, and specific capacitance. Two-dimensional metal oxide nanosheets have gained much interest due to their attractive features, such as composition, tunable structure, and large surface area which make them potential materials for energy storage applications. This review focuses on the establishment of synthesis approaches of metal oxide nanosheets (MO nanosheets) and their advancements over time, as well as their applicability in several electrochemical energy storage systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. This review provides a comprehensive comparison of different synthesis approaches of MO nanosheets, as well their suitability in several energy storage applications. Among recent improvements in energy storage systems, micro-supercapacitors, and several hybrid storage systems are rapidly emerging. MO nanosheets can be employed as electrode and catalyst material to improve the performance parameters of energy storage devices. Finally, this review outlines and discusses the prospects, future challenges, and further direction for research and applications of metal oxide nanosheets.

Abstract
It is highly attractive to design pseudocapacitive metal oxides as anodes for supercapacitors (SCs). However, as they have poor conductivity and lack active sites, they generally exhibit an unsatisfied capacitance under high current density. Herein, polypyrrole-coated low-crystallinity Fe2O3 supported on carbon cloth (D-Fe2O3@PPy/CC) was prepared by chemical reduction and electrodeposition methods. The low-crystallinity Fe2O3 nanorod achieved using a NaBH4 treatment offered more active sites and enhanced the Faradaic reaction in surface or near-surface regions. The construction of a PPy layer gave more charge storage at the Fe2O3/PPy interface, favoring the limitation of the volume effect derived from Na+ transfer in the bulk phase. Consequently, D-Fe2O3@PPy/CC displayed enhanced capacitance and stability. In 1 M Na2SO4, it showed a specific capacitance of 615 mF cm-2 (640 F g-1) at 1 mA cm-2 and still retained 79.3% of its initial capacitance at 10 mA cm-2 after 5000 cycles. The design of low-crystallinity metal oxides and polymer nanocomposites is expected to be widely applicable for the development of state-of-the-art electrodes, thus opening new avenues for energy storage.

Abstract
Nanoscale optimization of late transition-metal oxides for fixing the reversible lithiation/delithiation mechanism with an in-depth mechanistic understanding of nanocrystal (NC) conversion chemistry is important for furthering next-generation Li-ion battery (LIB) technologies. Herein, 1 nm-thin Ni3CoOx (1 nm-NCO) nanosheets synthesized through isomorphic transformation of NiCo layered double hydroxides within a two-dimensional (2D)-SiO2 envelope are chosen. The interconversion of metal/metal-oxide NCs under redox-switching thermal treatment, while retaining reversibility, inspired the accomplishment of identical consequences under the harsh operational conditions of LIB redox cycles by application of the thin-NCO-defined 2D nanospace. During charge/discharge cycles, 1 nm-NCO covered with an in situ formed solid-electrolyte-interphase layer enables fully reversible interconversion between the reactive NC redox pairs, as evidenced by detailed morphological and electrochemical analyses, thus providing high-rate capability with a specific capacity of 61.2% at 5.0 C relative to 0.2 C, outstanding cycle stability delivering a reversible capacity of 1169 mAh g-1, and 913 mAh g-1 with high average Coulombic efficiency (>99.2%) at 3.0 and 5.0 C for 1000 cycles, respectively, which has not been achieved with other transition-metal oxides. Such a nanospace-confinement effect on sustainability of reactive NCs to follow-up a highly reversible conversion reaction at fast charging in LIBs is operative within a slit-like ultrathin 2D nanogap from 1 nm-NCO only, as a relatively thicker 7 nm-NCO anode, with accompanying larger space available, has evidenced poor reversibility of NCs and inadequate cyclic stability under potential high-power density LIB application.

Abstract
The advent of graphene opens up the research into two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are considered revolutionary materials. Due to its unique geometric structure, graphene exhibits a series of exotic physical and chemical properties. In addition, single-element-based 2D materials (Xenes) have garnered tremendous interest. At present, 16 kinds of Xenes (silicene, borophene, germanene, phosphorene, tellurene, etc.) have been explored, mainly distributed in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth main groups. The current methods to prepare monolayers or few-layer 2D materials include epitaxy growth, mechanical exfoliation, and liquid phase exfoliation. Although two Xenes (aluminene and indiene) have not been synthesized due to the limitations of synthetic methods and the stability of Xenes, other Xenes have been successfully created via elaborate artificial design and synthesis. Focusing on elemental 2D materials, this review mainly summarizes the recently reported work about tuning the electronic, optical, mechanical, and chemical properties of Xenes via surface modifications, achieved using controllable approaches (doping, adsorption, strain, intercalation, phase transition, etc.) to broaden their applications in various fields, including spintronics, electronics, optoelectronics, superconducting, photovoltaics, sensors, catalysis, and biomedicines. These advances in the surface modification of Xenes have laid a theoretical and experimental foundation for the development of 2D materials and their practical applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
Exploring low-cost and high-efficient electrocatalyst is an exigent task in developing novel sustainable energy conversion systems, such as fuel cells and electrocatalytic fuel generations. 2D materials, specifically 2D superlattice materials focused here, featured highly accessible active areas, high density of active sites, and high compatibility with property-complementary materials to form heterostructures with desired synergetic effects, have demonstrated to be promising electrocatalysts for boosting the performance of sustainable energy conversion and storage devices. Nevertheless, the reaction kinetics, and in particular, the functional mechanisms of the 2D superlattice-based catalysts yet remain ambiguous. In this review, based on the recent progress of 2D superlattice materials in electrocatalysis applications, the rational design and fabrication of 2D superlattices are first summarized and the application of 2D superlattices in electrocatalysis is then specifically discussed. Finally, perspectives on the current challenges and the strategies for the future design of 2D superlattice materials are outlined. This review attempts to establish an intrinsic correlation between the 2D superlattice heterostructures and the catalytic properties, so as to provide some insights into developing high-performance electrocatalysts for next-generation sustainable energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Mn3O4 is regarded as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on its ultrahigh theoretical capacity (937 mAh g-1) and low cost but suffers from poor electronic conductivity and large volume variation during the lithiation/delithiation process, which result in dramatic capacity fading and inferior rate capability. Ti3C2Tx MXene, a novel two-dimensional transition metal carbide with metallic conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and hydrophilic surface, could be an ideal candidate to improve the lithium storage performance of Mn3O4. Here, a unique flexible, 2D-2D Mn3O4/MXene film is fabricated by assembling 2D Mn3O4 with Ti3C2Tx nanosheets through a simple vacuum filtration approach. In this unique 2D-2D nanostructure, MXene nanosheets buffer the volume change of Mn3O4 during the charge/discharge process. Moreover, the introduction of MXene enables the fabricated 2D-2D nanostructure with excellent flexibility and can be directly used as an electrode for LIBs, which is beneficial for enhancing the energy density of the assembled batteries. As a result, the flexible film of Mn3O4-MXene-8-2 shows excellent lithium storage performances in terms of specific capacity (931 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), rate capability (624 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1), and cycling stability, demonstrating its great potential for the application in LIBs.

Abstract
Due to ample low-coordinated surface atoms, a distorted lattice endows thin-layered transition metal oxides with a flexible electronic structure, making them the ideal candidates for overall ammonia synthesis. This work proposes a novel and facile method for the controllable synthesis of thin-layered Co3O4 catalysts with graphene as a conductive matrix to further enhance the overall N2 fixation performance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) demonstrate that the sandwiched Co3O4-x/GO catalysts enable exposure of more coordination unsaturated active sites, resulting in numerous oxygen vacancies. With a higher conductivity and distorted crystalline structure, excellent electrochemical NRR activity is realized with a NH3 production rate of 5.19 mmol g-1 h-1 and a Faradaic efficiency of 10.68% at -0.4 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). The density functional theory (DFT) calculation demonstrates that introducing oxygen vacancies in thin-layered cobalt oxides could result in an increased density of states (DOS) near the Fermi level, which would accelerate the NRR rate-determining step. Charge transfer could be accelerated through a weak Co 3d-N 2p σ hybrid bond with a lower energy level. No obvious performance decay could be found after six cycles. Furthermore, the sandwiched Co3O4-x/GO catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 280 mV@10 mA cm-2 and an outstanding durability for the anode OER, even better than those of the benchmark RuO2. Such an inexpensive sandwiched transition metal oxide catalyst shows great potential in the field of overall N2 fixation.

Abstract
Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit broad application prospects in many fields due to the enhanced specific surface area to volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. Because of the atomic thickness and various orientations, ultrathin 2D materials exposing specific facets have drawn great attention for various applications in catalysis, batteries, optoelectronics, magnetism, epitaxial template for material growth, etc. Though maintaining the atomic thickness of 2D materials while controlling crystal facets is an enormous challenge, breakthroughs are being made. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the facet engineering of 2D materials, ranging from a basic understanding of facets and the corresponding approaches and the significance of facet engineering. We also propose current challenges and forecast future development directions including the establishment of a facet database, the fabrication of new 2D materials, the design of specific substrates, and the introduction of theoretical calculations and in situ characterization techniques. This review can guide researchers to design ultrathin 2D materials with unique and distinct facets and provide an insight into the applications of energy, magnetism, optics, biomedicine, and other fields.

Abstract
The structural stability and reaction kinetics of anodes are essential factors for high-performance battery systems. Herein, the molybdenum sulfide selenide (MoSSe) nanosheets anchored on carbon tubes (MoSSe@CTs) are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method combining with further selenization/calcination treatment. The unique tubular carbon skeletons expose abundant active sites for the well-dispersed growth of MoS2 ultrathin nanosheets on both sides of the tubular carbon skeleton. In addition, the further selenization treatment can expand the interlayer spacing of molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) nanosheets and facilitate the fast sodium/potassium-ion transition and storage. When used in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), MoSSe@CTs electrode delivers a specific capacity of 486 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and retains a stable reversible capacity of 465 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles, indicating its good cycling stability. For potassium-ion batteries (KIBs), the MoSSe@CTs composite shows a capacity of 352 mA hg-1 at 1 A g-1 and a good cycling stability (maintains at 272 mA hg-1 after 1000 cycles). This work shows informative guiding significance for exploring advanced electrode materials of sodium/potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The disulfide compounds of molybdenum (MoS2 ) are layered van der Waals materials that exhibit a rich array of polymorphic structures. MoS2 can be roughly divided into semiconductive phase and metallic phase according to the difference in electron filling state of the 4d orbital of Mo atom. The two phases show completely different properties, leading to their diverse applications in biosensors. But to some extent, they compensate for each other. This review first introduces the relationship between phase state and the chemical/physical structures and properties of MoS2 . Furthermore, the synthetic methods are summarized and the preparation strategies for metastable phases are highlighted. In addition, examples of electronic and chemical property designs of MoS2 by means of doping and surface modification are outlined. Finally, studies on biosensors based on MoS2 in recent years are presented and classified, and the roles of MoS2 with different phases are highlighted. This review offers references for the selection of materials to construct different types of biosensors based on MoS2 , and provides inspiration for sensing performance enhancement.

Abstract
Two-dimensional van der Waals (2D vdW) materials have attracted much attention because of their unique electronic and optical properties. Since the successful isolation of graphene in 2004, many interesting 2D materials have emerged, including elemental olefins (silicene, germanene, etc.), transition metal chalcogenides, transition metal carbides (nitrides), hexagonal boron, etc. On the other hand, 2D binary oxide materials are an important group in the 2D family owing to their high structural diversity, low cost, high stability, and strong adjustability. This review systematically summarizes the research progress on 2D binary oxide materials. We discuss their composition and structure in terms of vdW and non-vdW categories in detail, followed by a discussion of their synthesis methods. In particular, we focus on strategies to tailor the properties of 2D oxides and their emerging applications in different fields. Finally, the challenges and future developments of 2D binary oxides are provided.

Abstract
The alkaline polymer electrolyte fuel cells (APEFCs) hold great promise for using nonnoble metal-based electrocatalysts toward the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), but are hindered by the sluggish anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in alkaline electrolytes. Here, a strategy is reported to promote the alkaline HOR performance of Ru by incorporating 3d-transition metals (V, Fe, Co, and Ni), where the conduction band minimum (CBM) level of Ru can be rationally tailored through strong d-d orbital coupling. As expected, the obtained RuFe nanosheet exhibits outstanding HOR performance with the mass activity of 233.46 A gPGM -1 and 23-fold higher than the Ru catalyst, even threefold higher than the commercial Pt/C. APEFC employing this RuFe as anodic catalyst gives a peak power density of 1.2 W cm-2 , outperforming the documented Pt-free anodic catalyst-based APEFCs. Experimental results and density functional theory calculations suggest the enhanced OH-binding energy and reduced formation energy of water derived from the downshifted CBM level of Ru contribute to the enhanced HOR activity.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have demonstrated catalytic efficacy toward lithium polysulfide conversion in Li-S batteries. However, achieving high-density M-Nx sites with rational design by a simple method is still challenging to date. Herein, an ultrathin porous 3D carbon-supported single-atom catalyst (SACo/NDC) is synthesized with a salt-template strategy via a facile freeze-drying and one-step pyrolysis procedure and serves well as a sulfur host. The well-defined 3D carbon structure can effectively alleviate volume stress and confine polysulfides inside. Moreover, the dispersed Co-Nx sites exhibit strong chemical adsorption function and valid catalytic efficiency to LiPSs redox conversion. As a result, the SACo/NDC cathodes display enhanced long-term cycling stability and better rate capability.

Abstract
We report the strong catalyst-support interaction in WC-supported RuO2 nanoparticles (RuO2 -WC NPs) anchored on carbon nanosheets with low loading of Ru (4.11 wt.%), which significantly promotes the oxygen evolution reaction activity with a η10 of 347 mV and a mass activity of 1430 A gRu -1 , eight-fold higher than that of commercial RuO2 (176 A gRu -1 ). Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the strong catalyst-support interaction between RuO2 and the WC support could optimize the surrounding electronic structure of Ru sites to reduce the reaction barrier. Considering the likewise excellent catalytic ability for hydrogen production, an acidic overall water splitting (OWS) electrolyzer with a good stability constructed by bifunctional RuO2 -WC NPs only requires a cell voltage of 1.66 V to afford 10 mA cm-2 . The unique 0D/2D nanoarchitectures rationally combining a WC support with precious metal oxides provides a promising strategy to tradeoff the high catalytic activity and low cost for acidic OWS applications.

Abstract
Metal oxides are a promising candidate for lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes due to their high theoretical capacity and long cycle life but also face inherent poor conductivity and volume variation, making them difficult to promote the application. The cation substitution strategy is an important means to facilitate improved rate and cycling performance. However, the effect of cation substitution on electrochemical activity is multivariate and complex, and a comprehensive and systematic analysis is essential for understanding the relationship between components and properties. Herein, the aliovalent heterogeneous Cr-substituted MnO was used as a model to systematically investigate the effects of Cr substitution on the crystal structure, electron distribution, defect construction, and electrochemical reaction processes. Theoretical calculations and experimental results reveal that Cr substitution can effectively modulate the electronic structure, build a built-in electric field, generate cationic defects, and catalyze the electrochemical reaction process, thereby improving the electrode kinetics and electrochemical activity of active materials. When the optimized Mn0.94Cr0.06O was used as the anode for LIBs, a reversible capacity of 1547.3 mAh g-1 was obtained after 450 cycles at a current density of 1 C (1 C = 756 mA g-1 for half-cells), and a reversible capacity of up to 1126.2 mAh g-1 could be maintained even after 700 cycles at a current density of 2 C. The assembled Mn0.94Cr0.06O//LiCoO2 full cell further confirms the scalability of the heterogeneous atom substitution strategy.

Abstract
Two-dimensional quantum dots (2D-QDs) derived from two-dimensional sheets have received increasing interest owing to their unique properties, such as large specific surface areas, abundant active sites, good aqueous dispersibility, excellent electrical property, easy functionalization, and so on. A variety of 2D-QDs have been developed based on different materials including graphene, black phosphorus, nitrides, transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal oxides, and MXenes. These 2D-QDs share some common features due to the quantum confinement effects and they also possess unique properties owing to their structural differences. In this review, we discuss the categories, properties, and synthetic routes of these 2D-QDs and emphasize their applications in electrochemical biosensors. We deeply hope that this review not only stimulates more interest in 2D-QDs, but also promotes further development and applications of 2D-QDs in various research fields.

Abstract
A broad family of two-dimensional (2D) materials - carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides of early transition metals, called MXenes, became a newcomer in the flatland at the turn of 2010 and 2011 (over ten years ago). Their unique physicochemical properties made them attractive for many applications, highly boosting the development of various fields, including biotechnological. However, MXenes' functional features that impact their bioactivity and toxicity are still not fully well understood. This study discusses the essentials for MXenes's surface modifications toward their application in modern biotechnology and nanomedicine. We survey modification strategies in context of cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, and most prospective applications ready to implement in medical practice. We put the discussion on the material-structure-chemistry-property relationship into perspective and concentrate on overarching challenges regarding incorporating MXenes into nanostructured organic/inorganic bioactive architectures. It is another emerging group of materials that are interesting from the biomedical point of view as well. Finally, we present an influential outlook on the growing demand for future research in this field.

Abstract
The engineering of the structural and morphological properties of nanomaterials is a fundamental aspect to attain desired performance in energy storage/conversion systems and multifunctional composites. We report the synthesis of room temperature-stable metallic rutile VO2 (VO2 (R)) nanosheets by topochemically transforming liquid-phase exfoliated VSe2 in a reductive Ar-H2 atmosphere. The as-produced VO2 (R) represents an example of two-dimensional (2D) nonlayered materials, whose bulk counterparts do not have a layered structure composed by layers held together by van der Waals force or electrostatic forces between charged layers and counterbalancing ions amid them. By pretreating the VSe2 nanosheets by O2 plasma, the resulting 2D VO2 (R) nanosheets exhibit a porous morphology that increases the material specific surface area while introducing defective sites. The as-synthesized porous (holey)-VO2 (R) nanosheets are investigated as metallic catalysts for the water splitting reactions in both acidic and alkaline media, reaching a maximum mass activity of 972.3 A g-1 at -0.300 V vs RHE for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in 0.5 M H2SO4 (faradaic efficiency = 100%, overpotential for the HER at 10 mA cm-2 = 0.184 V) and a mass activity (calculated for a non 100% faradaic efficiency) of 745.9 A g-1 at +1.580 V vs RHE for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 M KOH (overpotential for the OER at 10 mA cm-2 = 0.209 V). By demonstrating proof-of-concept electrolyzers, our results show the possibility to synthesize special material phases through topochemical conversion of 2D materials for advanced energy-related applications.

Abstract
Metal oxides/hydroxides with a two-dimensional (2D) porous structure have extensive applications in catalysis, microwave absorption, and energy storage fields due to their large specific surface areas, massive exposed active sites, and good structural integrities. Herein, a general surfactant-assisted vapor diffusion-deposition self-assembly method is developed to synthesize various 2D porous metal oxides/hydroxides. Benefiting from the structure-directing effect of surfactants and the precise tuning of nucleation and growth process that results from this vapor diffusion-deposition strategy, a 2D porous structure is constructed. To explore the advantages of such 2D porous structure, electromagnetic characteristics and absorbing properties of as-obtained materials are investigated. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of 2D porous NiFe2O4 is -23.1 dB at 6.4 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 5.1 GHz. However, the minimum RL is only -15.0 dB at 8.7 GHz and the EAB is 3.9 GHz for NiFe2O4 particles. In addition, the as-obtained 2D porous NiFe2O4 exhibits superior absorbing properties compared with many previously reported nickel ferrites. Furthermore, the microwave absorbing mechanism of 2D porous NiFe2O4 is investigated.

Abstract
Functional mesoporous materials have gained tremendous attention due to their distinctive properties and potential applications. In recent decades, the self-assembly of micelles and framework precursors into mesostructures on the liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid interface has been explored in the construction of functional mesoporous materials with diverse compositions, morphologies, mesostructures, and pore sizes. Compared with the one-phase solution synthetic approach, the introduction of a two-phase interface in the synthetic system changes self-assembly behaviors between micelles and framework species, leading to the possibility for the on-demand fabrication of unique mesoporous architectures. In addition, controlling the interfacial tension is critical to manipulate the self-assembly process for precise synthesis. In particular, recent breakthroughs based on the concept of the "monomicelles" assembly mechanism are very promising and interesting for the synthesis of functional mesoporous materials with the precise control. In this review, we highlight the synthetic strategies, principles, and interface engineering at the macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale for oriented interfacial assembly of functional mesoporous materials over the past 10 years. The potential applications in various fields, including adsorption, separation, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, and biomedicine, are discussed. Finally, we also propose the remaining challenges, possible directions, and opportunities in this field for the future outlook.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is essential to serve as the biological building blocks for maintaining organism function, and as the indispensable nitrogenous fertilizers for increasing the yield of nutritious crops. The current Haber-Bosch process for industrial NH3 production is highly energy- and capital-intensive. In light of this, the electroreduction of nitrogen (N2) into valuable NH3, as an alternative, offers a sustainable pathway for the Haber-Bosch transition, because it utilizes renewable electricity and operates under ambient conditions. Identifying highly efficient electrocatalysts remains the priority in the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), marking superior selectivity, activity, and stability. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with sufficient exposed active sites, high specific surface area, good conductivity, rich surface defects, and easily tunable electronic properties hold great promise for the adsorption and activation of nitrogen towards sustainable NRR. Therefore, this Review focuses on the fundamental principles and the key metrics being pursued in NRR. Based on the fundamental understanding, the recent efforts devoted to engineering protocols for constructing 2D electrocatalysts towards NRR are presented. Then, the state-of-the-art 2D electrocatalysts for N2 reduction to NH3 are summarized, aiming at providing a comprehensive overview of the structure-performance relationships of 2D electrocatalysts towards NRR. Finally, we propose the challenges and future outlook in this prospective area.

Abstract
Atomically thin materials (ATMs) with thicknesses in the atomic scale (typically <5 nm) offer inherent advantages of large specific surface areas, proper crystal lattice distortion, abundant surface dangling bonds, and strong in-plane chemical bonds, making them ideal 2D platforms to construct high-performance electrode materials for rechargeable metal-ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries. This work reviews the synthesis and electronic property tuning of state-of-the-art ATMs, including graphene and graphene derivatives (GE/GO/rGO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), phosphorene, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXenes), transition metal oxides (TMOs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for constructing next-generation high-energy-density and high-power-density rechargeable batteries to meet the needs of the rapid developments in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and smart electricity grids. We also present our viewpoints on future challenges and opportunities of constructing efficient ATMs for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) is a promising cathode material for stable lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries due to its shuttle-free redox mechanism. However, the redox kinetics of SPAN needs to be enhanced to improve Li-S batteries. Herein, a salt-templating method is proposed for the fabrication of ultrathin SPAN nanosheets, which can afford a large contact area with the electrolyte and shorten the transport paths of electrons/ions involved in the reaction. In situ Raman analysis confirms the reversible breaking and formation of C-S/S-S bonds in SPAN nanosheets during cycling while ex situ SEM reveals the formation of lithium sulfide particles on the surface of SPAN nanosheets at the end of discharge. At a high current density of 2 A g-1, coin cells based on a SPAN nanosheet cathode can deliver a reversible capacity of 408 mA h g-1composite over 100 cycles with a capacity retention rate of 95%. Meanwhile, pouch cells using a SPAN nanosheet cathode exhibit a capacity retention rate close to 100% after 100 cycles at the same current density. These results herald a new approach for powering Li-S batteries by the nanoscale design of the SPAN cathode.

Abstract
Surface terminations of two-dimensional MXene (Ti3 C2 Tx ) considerably impact its physicochemical properties. Commonly used etching methods usually introduce -F surface terminations or metallic impurities in MXene. We present a new molten-salt-assisted electrochemical etching method to synthesize fluorine-free Ti3 C2 Cl2 . Using electrons as reaction agents, cathode reduction and anode etching can be spatially isolated; thus, no metallics are present in the Ti3 C2 Cl2 product. The surface terminations can be in situ modified from -Cl to -O and/or -S, which considerably shortens the modification steps and enriches the variety of surface terminations. The obtained -O-terminated Ti3 C2 Tx are excellent electrode materials for supercapacitors, exhibiting capacitances of 225 F g-1 at 1.0 Ag-1 , good rate performance (91.1 % at 10 Ag-1 ), and excellent capacitance retention (100 % after 10000 charge/discharge cycles at 10 Ag-1 ), which is superior to multi-layered Ti3 C2 Tx prepared by other etching methods.
