[PMID: 38552574 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.03.162] [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: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
Designing efficient and cost-effective electrocatalysts for overall water splitting remains a major challenge in hydrogen production. Herein, ammonia was introduced to pyrophosphate chelating solution assisted Ni particles preferential plating on porous Fe substrate to form coral-like Ni/NiFe-Pyro electrode. The pyrophosphate with multiple complex sites can couple with nickel and iron ions to form an integrated network structure, which also consists of metallic nickel due to the introduction of ammonia. The large network structure in Ni/NiFe-Pyro significantly enhances the synergistic effect between nickel and iron and then improves the electrocatalytic performance. As a result, the coral-like Ni/NiFe-Pyro@IF exhibits good electrocatalytic activity and stability for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The electrolyzer assembled with Ni/NiFe-Pyro@IF as cathode and anode just needs a low water-splitting voltage of 1.54 V to obtain the current density of 10 mA cm-2. Meanwhile, the stability test of Ni/NiFe-Pyro@IF is performed at the current densities ranging from 10 to 400 mA cm-2 for 50 h without any significant decay, indicating robust catalytic stability for overall water splitting. This strategy for synthesizing metal/metal pyrophosphate composites may provide a new avenue for future studies of efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts.

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy and Artificial Neural Networks for Detection of MXene Flakes' Surface Terminations. THE JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY. C, NANOMATERIALS AND INTERFACES 2024; 128:6780-6787. [PMID: 38690535 PMCID: PMC11056973 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcc.4c01273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
The properties of MXene flakes, a new class of two-dimensional materials, are strictly determined by their surface termination. The most common termination groups are oxygen-containing (=O or -OH) and fluorine (-F), and their relative ratio is closely related to flake stability and catalytic activity. The surface termination can vary significantly among MXene flakes depending on the preparation route and is commonly determined after flake preparation by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In this paper, as an alternative approach, we propose the combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and artificial neural networks (ANN) for the precise and reliable determination of MXene flakes' (Ti3C2Tx) surface chemistry. Ti3C2Tx flakes were independently prepared by three scientific groups and subsequently measured using three different Raman spectrometers, employing resonant excitation wavelengths. Manual analysis of the SERS spectra did not enable accurate determination of the flake surface termination. However, the combined SERS-ANN approach allowed us to determine the surface termination with a high accuracy. The reliability of the method was verified by using a series of independently prepared samples. We also paid special attention to how the results of the SERS-ANN method are affected by the flake stability and differences in the conditions of flake preparation and Raman measurements. This way, we have developed a universal technique that is independent of the above-mentioned parameters, providing the results with accuracy similar to XPS, but enhanced in terms of analysis time and simplicity.

Abstract
Local electronic structure engineering is an effective approach for optimizing the catalytic performance of electrocatalysts. Herein, a dual-phase vanadium-doped nickel phosphide (NiVxP) catalyst supported on nickel foam (NF) was synthesized via a successive hydrothermal and phosphorization process with interconnected nanosheet structures and homogeneous distributions. The catalyst's stable phase and strong adhesion to the substrate ensure good electrochemical stability. The incorporation of V effectively promotes initial H2O adsorption and H* formation, leading to a lower overpotential. As a result, the fabricated NiVxP@NF demonstrates favorable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and stability, with only 85 mV overpotential needed to reach 10 mA·cm-2 and showing no significant increase in the overpotential during the long-term 78-hour stability test.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting (PWS) is an up-and-coming technology for generating sustainable fuel using light energy. Significant progress has been made in the developing of PWS innovations over recent years. In addition to various water-splitting (WS) systems, the focus has primarily been on one- and two-steps-excitation WS systems. These systems utilize singular or composite photocatalysts for WS, which is a simple, feasible, and cost-effective method for efficiently converting prevalent green energy into sustainable H2 energy on a large commercial scale. The proposed principle of charge confinement and transformation should be implemented dynamically by conjugating and stimulating the photocatalytic process while ensuring no unintentional connection at the interface. This study focuses on overall water splitting (OWS) using one/two-steps excitation and various techniques. It also discusses the current advancements in the development of new light-absorbing materials and provides perspectives and approaches for isolating photoinduced charges. This article explores multiple aspects of advancement, encompassing both chemical and physical changes, environmental factors, different photocatalyst types, and distinct parameters affecting PWS. Significant factors for achieving an efficient photocatalytic process under detrimental conditions, (e.g., strong light absorption, and synthesis of structures with a nanometer scale. Future research will focus on developing novel materials, investigating potential synthesis techniques, and improving existing high-energy raw materials. The endeavors aim is to enhance the efficiency of energy conversion, the absorption of radiation, and the coherence of physiochemical processes.

Abstract
The development of low-cost, efficient catalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting to generate green hydrogen is a hot topic among researchers. Herein, we have developed a highly efficient heterostructure of CoCr-LDH on NiO on nickel foam (NF) for the first time. The preparation strategy follows the simple annealing of a cleaned NF without using any Ni salt precursor, followed by the growth of CoCr-LDH nanosheets over the surface-oxidized NF. The CoCr-LDH/NiO/NF catalyst shows excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in a 1 M KOH solution. For OER, only 253 mV and for HER, only 185 mV overpotentials are required to attain a 50 mA cm-2 current density. Also, the long-term stability of both the OER and HER for 60 h proves its robustness. The turnover frequency value for the OER increased 1.85 times after the heterostructure formation compared to bare CoCr-LDH. The calculated Faradaic efficiency values of 97.4 and 94.75% for the OER and HER revealed the high intrinsic activity of the heterostructure. Moreover, the heterostructure only needs 1.57 V of cell voltage when acting as both the anode and the cathode to achieve a 10 mA cm-2 current density. The long-term stability of 60 h for the total water-splitting process proves its excellent performance. Several systematic pre- and post-experiment characterizations prove its durable nature. These excellent OER and HER activities and stabilities are attributed to the surface-modified electronic structure and thin nanosheet-like surface morphology of the heterostructure. The thin, wide, and modified surface of the catalyst facilitates the diffusion of ions (reactants) and gas molecules (products) at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Furthermore, electron transfer from n-type CoCr-LDH to p-type NiO results in enhanced electronic conductivity. This study demonstates the effective design of a self-supported heterostructure with minimal synthetic steps to generate a bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting, contributing to the greater cause of green hydrogen economy.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), often known as green designer solvents, have demonstrated immense application potential in numerous scientific and technological domains. ILs possess high boiling point and low volatility that make them suitable environmentally benign candidates for many potential applications. The more important aspect associated with ILs is that their physicochemical properties can be effectively changed for desired applications just by tuning the structure of the cationic and/or anionic part of ILs. Furthermore, these eco-friendly designer materials can function as electrolytes or solvents depending on the application. Owing to the distinctive properties such as low volatility, high thermal and electrochemical stability, and better ionic conductivity, ILs are nowadays immensely used in a variety of energy applications, particularly in the development of green and sustainable energy storage and conversion devices. Suitable ILs are designed for specific purposes to be used as electrolytes and/or solvents for fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors (SCs), and solar cells. Herein, we have highlighted the utilization of ILs as unique green designer materials in Li-batteries, fuel cells, SCs, and solar cells. This review will enlighten the promising prospects of these unique, environmentally sustainable materials for next-generation green energy conversion and storage devices. Ionic liquids have much to offer in the field of energy sciences regarding fixing some of the world's most serious issues. However, most of the discoveries discussed in this review article are still at the laboratory research scale for further development. This review article will inspire researchers and readers about how ILs can be effectively applied in energy sectors for various applications as mentioned above.

Abstract
Natural ores are abundant, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Ultrathin (2D) layers of a naturally abundant van der Waals mineral, Biotite, have been prepared in bulk via exfoliation. We report here that this 2D Biotene material has shown extraordinary Li-Na-ion battery anode properties with ultralong cycling stability. Biotene shows 302 and 141 mAh g-1 first cycle-specific charge capacity for Li- and Na-ion battery applications with ∼90% initial Coulombic efficiency. The electrode exhibits significantly extended cycling stability with ∼75% capacity retention after 4000 cycles even at higher current densities (500-2000 mA g-1). Further, density functional theory studies show the possible Li intercalation mechanism between the 2D Biotene layers. Our work brings new directions toward designing the next generation of metal-ion battery anodes.

Abstract
Among the various existing layered compounds, silicon diselenide (SiSe2) possesses diverse chemical and physical properties, owing to its large interlayer spacing and interesting atomic arrangements. Despite the unique properties of layered SiSe2, it has not yet been used in energy applications. Herein, we introduce the synthesis of layered SiSe2 through a facile solid-state synthetic route and demonstrate its versatility as a sulfide solid electrolyte (SE) additive for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and as an anode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Li-argyrodites with various compositions substituted with SiSe2 are synthesized and evaluated as sulfide SEs for ASSBs. SiSe2-substituted Li-argyrodites exhibit high ionic conductivities, low activation energies, and high air stabilities. In addition, when using a sulfide SE, the ASSB full cell exhibits a high discharge/charge capacity of 202/169 mAh g-1 with a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 83.7% and stable capacity retention at 1C after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the Li-storage properties of SiSe2 as an anode material for LIBs are evaluated, and its Li-pathway mechanism is explored by using various cutting-edge ex situ analytical tools. Moreover, the SiSe2 nanocomposite anode exhibits a high Li- insertion/extraction capacity of 950/775 mAh g-1, a high ICE of 81.6%, a fast rate capability, and stable capacity retention after 300 cycles. Accordingly, layered SiSe2 and its versatile applications as a sulfide SE additive for ASSBs and an anode material for LIBs are promising candidates in energy storage applications as well as myriad other applications.

Abstract
The development of electrochemically inexpensive, durable, and active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is attracting considerable attention. The heterogeneous interfacing might regulate the electronic structure and further improve the electrochemical activity. Herein, a Ce(OH)3 nanoparticle-interfaced Fe-doped nickel sulfide (Ce(OH)3@Fe-Ni3S2) electrocatalyst was prepared to improve the OER performance. The fabricated electrocatalyst displayed excellent intrinsic activity and long-term stability in 1 M KOH for the OER. The catalyst shows an ultralow overpotential of 195 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 52 mV dec-1, which are remarkably smaller than those of the control samples. This excellent electrocatalytic activity is attributed to the incorporation of Ce(OH)3 nanoparticles on the surface of the Fe-Ni3S2 nanosheet, which increases the electrochemical activity and enlarges the active surface area of the catalyst. In comparison to previous nonprecious OER electrocatalysts, the prepared Ce(OH)3@Fe-Ni3S2 exhibits greater electrocatalytic activity and longer durability, allowing for the selection of new electrocatalysts for practical applications.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets were synthesized onto cellulose nanofiber surfaces utilizing an eco-friendly salt melt approach. The fabricated material CNF@C3N4 selectively removes Ni(II) and Cu(II) from electroplating wastewater samples. The immobilization of g-C3N4 on solid substrates eases handling of nanomaterial in a flow-through approach and mitigates sorbent loss during column operations. Characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, tunneling electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron microscopy were employed to analyze the surface morphology and chemical bonding within the synthesized material. Selective Cu(II) and Ni(II) sorption predominantly arises from the soft-soft interaction between metal ions and associated nitrogen groups. An inner-sphere surface complexation mechanism effectively elucidated the interaction dynamics between the metal and CNF@C3N4. Experimental findings demonstrated satisfactory separation of Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions, with the extraction of 340.0 and 385.0 mg g-1 of material, respectively. Additionally, the devised technique was executed for the preconcentration and quantification of trace metals ions in water samples with a detection limit and limit of quantification of 0.06 and 0.20 μg L-1, respectively.

Abstract
High-performance supercapacitive electrode materials have received significant attention from researchers worldwide, thus aiming for comparable performance similar to the extensively used rechargeable batteries. For emerging energy storage technologies like flexible supercapacitors, transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have been in the spotlight due to their promising electrochemical features compared to other electrode materials. Among the synthesis techniques, electrodeposition-mediated preparation of thin films of TMCs offered an affordable binder-free approach for electrode fabrication that effectively improved the supercapacitor performance. Hence, this review mainly focussed on the electrodeposition-based syntheses of single/ multinary chalcogenides and their composites for supercapacitors applications. Further, the effects of different deposition parameters were discussed for boosting the supercapacitor performance. Finally, this review outlined the existing challenges and future perspectives in this research domain, which will assist the upcoming exploration in the energy storage field.

Abstract
MXenes exhibit unique layered structures and excellent electrical conductivity, and their multiple surface termination groups are favorable for hosting impressive performance for electrochemical reactions. Therefore, a two-dimensional (2D) layered MXene-based catalyst may become a novel high-efficiency electrocatalyst to replace traditional noble metal electrocatalysts. In this work, a transition metal chalcogenide (MoS2/CuS) and MXene are combined to prepare a 2D electrocatalyst (MoS2/CuS/MXene) for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). MXene exhibited a large specific surface area in the shape of an accordion, which was very beneficial for the growth of nanomaterials. CuS/MXene promoted electron transfer and improved the exposed active site for HER. The exposed MoS2 edges exhibited a high chemical adsorption capacity, which is conducive to HER. Electrochemical tests reveal that the MoS2/CuS/MXene electrocatalyst can reduce the charge transfer resistance toward the HER and increase active sites for HER, leading to enhancing the catalytic performance. The MoS2/CuS/MXene electrocatalyst affords an efficient HER with a low overpotential (115 mV@10 mA cm-2). This work offers a new idea to create layered transition metal chalcogenide- and MXene-based electrocatalysts for HER.

Abstract
Directional defects management in polycrystalline perovskite film with inorganic passivator is highly demanded while yet realized for fabricating efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, we develop a directional passivation strategy employing a two-dimensional (2D) material, Cu-(4-mercaptophenol) (Cu-HBT), as a passivator precursor. Cu-HBT combines the merits of the targeted modification from organic passivator and excellent stability offered by inorganic passivator. Featuring with dense organic functional motifs on its surfaces, Cu-HBT has the capability to "find" and fasten to the Pb defect sites in perovskites through coordination interactions during a spin-coating process. During subsequent annealing treatment, the organic functional motifs cleave from Cu-HBT and convert in situ into p-type semiconductors, Cu2 S and PbS. The resultant Cu2 S and PbS not only serve as stable inorganic passivators on the perovskite surface, significantly enhancing cell stability, but also facilitate efficient charge extraction and transport, resulting in an impressive efficiency of up to 23.5 %. This work contributes a new defect management strategy by directionally yielding the stable inorganic passivators for highly efficient and stable PSCs.

Abstract
The reactions of [{(iPrDipNacNac)Mg}2] 1 (iPrDipnacnac = HC(iPrCNDip)2) with Ph3P═O at 100 °C afforded the phosphinate complex [(iPrDipNacNac)Mg(OPPh3)(OPPh2)] 3. Reactions of 1 with Ph3P═E (E = S, Se) proceeded rapidly at room temperature to low-coordinate chalcogenide complexes [{(iPrDipNacNac)Mg}2(μ-S)] 4 and [{(iPrDipNacNac)Mg}2(μ-Se)] 5, respectively. Similarly, reactions of RNHC═S ((MeCNR)2C═S with R = Me, Et, or iPr) with 1 afforded NHC adducts of magnesium sulfide complexes, [{(iPrDipNacNac)Mg(RNHC)}(μ-S){Mg(iPrDipNacNac)}] 6, that could alternatively be obtained by adding the appropriate RNHC to sulfide complex 4. Complex 4 reacted with 1-adamantylazide (AdN3) to give [{(iPrDipNacNac)Mg}2(μ-SN3Ad)] 7 and can form various simple donor adducts in solution, of which [(iPrDipNacNac)Mg(OAd)}2(μ-S)] 8a (OAd = 2-adamantanone) was structurally characterized. The nature of the ionic Mg-E-Mg unit is described by solution and solid-state studies of the complexes and by DFT computational investigations.

Abstract
Coinage metal chalcogenides offer ideal prerequisites for high thermoelectric performance and sensor applications, with their usually low lattice thermal and high electrical conductivity, as well as small band gaps. In the solid solution Cu1.5SeyTe1-y we synthesized phase pure materials with y = 0.2-0.7 and characterized them concerning selected physical properties. X-ray crystal structure determination was performed for two representatives of the solid solution, Cu1.5Se0.3Te0.7 and Cu1.5Se0.5Te0.5. The entire series crystallizes cubically, in space group Pm3̅n. No structural changes are observed between room temperature and the synthesis temperature of 723 K. The conductivity measurements and Seebeck coefficients of Cu1.5Se0.3Te0.7 and Cu1.5Se0.5Te0.5 indicate that the two representatives are narrow band gap semiconductors (Eg 0.06-0.08 eV). Both compounds show positive Seebeck coefficients and reasonably low thermal conductivities at moderate temperatures. Cu1.5Se0.5Te0.5 is characterized by a bulk modulus of 40.9 GPa.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is relatively an environmentally friendly hydrogen production technology, but due to the slow transfer of four electrons in the anodic oxidation reaction, it needs a theoretical voltage of up to 1.23 V. Therefore, in this experiment, a series of transition metal oxides, ACo2O4 (A = Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni), was synthesized on Ni foam current collectors by a hydrothermal and calcination method, and the material was applied in urea electrolysis to produce hydrogen. What is noteworthy is that the CuCo2O4 electrode has a unique flower-like nanoneedle structure, and has a larger electrochemical active area, more reactive active sites, and a faster charge transfer rate. In 1.0 M KOH and 0.5 M urea solution, CuCo2O4 provides a potential of only 1.268 V at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 during the urea oxidation reaction (UOR), while in 1.0 M KOH solution, with the same current density, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is required to provide a potential of 1.53 V, indicating that the UOR can effectively replace the OER. Density functional theory calculations show that the CuCo2O4 material exhibits Gibbs free energy of the hydrogen closest to zero, thus promoting the electrochemistry performance of the electrode. In a cell composed of CuCo2O4//CuCo2O4, the current density of 10 mA cm-2 can be achieved by providing a potential of only 1.509 V. This work offers a novel scheme for reducing energy consumption of the OER and improving catalytic performance of the UOR.

Abstract
A supercapattery is a device that combines the properties of batteries and supercapacitors, such as power density and energy density. A binary composite (zinc cobalt sulfide) and rGO are synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and modified Hummers' method. A notable specific capacity (Cs) of 1254 C g-1 is obtained in the ZnCoS@rGO case, which is higher than individual Cs of ZnS (975 C g-1) and CoS (400 C g-1). For the asymmetric (ASC) device (ZnCoS@rGO//PANI@AC), the PANI-doped activated carbon and ZnCoS@rGO are used as the cathode and anode respectively. A high Cm of 141 C g-1 is achieved at 1.4 A g-1. The ASC is exhibited an extraordinary energy density of 45 W h kg-1 with a power density 5000 W kg-1 at 1.4 A g-1. To check the stability of the device, the ASC device is measured for 2000 charging/discharging cycles. The device showed improved coulombic efficiency of 94%. These findings confirmed that the two-dimensional materials provide the opportunities to design battery and supercapacitor hybrid devices.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated with regard to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to their structure diversity, high specific surface area, adjustable pore size, and abundant active sites. However, the poor conductivity of most MOFs restricts this application. Herein, through a facile one-step solvothermal method, the Ni-based pillared metal-organic framework [Ni2(BDC)2DABCO] (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), its bimetallic nickel-iron form [Ni(Fe)(BDC)2DABCO], and their modified Ketjenblack (mKB) composites were synthesized and tested toward OER in an alkaline medium (KOH 1 mol L-1). A synergistic effect of the bimetallic nickel-iron MOF and the conductive mKB additive enhanced the catalytic activity of the MOF/mKB composites. All MOF/mKB composite samples (7, 14, 22, and 34 wt.% mKB) indicated much higher OER performances than the MOFs and mKB alone. The Ni-MOF/mKB14 composite (14 wt.% of mKB) demonstrated an overpotential of 294 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 32 mV dec-1, which is comparable with commercial RuO2, commonly used as a benchmark material for OER. The catalytic performance of Ni(Fe)MOF/mKB14 (0.57 wt.% Fe) was further improved to an overpotential of 279 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The low Tafel slope of 25 mV dec-1 as well as a low reaction resistance due to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement confirmed the excellent OER performance of the Ni(Fe)MOF/mKB14 composite. For practical applications, the Ni(Fe)MOF/mKB14 electrocatalyst was impregnated into commercial nickel foam (NF), where overpotentials of 247 and 291 mV at current densities of 10 and 50 mA cm-2, respectively, were realized. The activity was maintained for 30 h at the applied current density of 50 mA cm-2. More importantly, this work adds to the fundamental understanding of the in situ transformation of Ni(Fe)DMOF into OER-active α/β-Ni(OH)2, β/γ-NiOOH, and FeOOH with residual porosity inherited from the MOF structure, as seen by powder X-ray diffractometry and N2 sorption analysis. Benefitting from the porosity structure of the MOF precursor, the nickel-iron catalysts outperformed the solely Ni-based catalysts due to their synergistic effects and exhibited superior catalytic activity and long-term stability in OER. In addition, by introducing mKB as a conductive carbon additive in the MOF structure, a homogeneous conductive network was constructed to improve the electronic conductivity of the MOF/mKB composites. The electrocatalytic system consisting of earth-abundant Ni and Fe metals only is attractive for the development of efficient, practical, and economical energy conversion materials for efficient OER activity.

Abstract
High energy consumption and low salt removal rate are key barriers to realizing practical electrochemical seawater desalination processes. Here, we demonstrate a novel solar-driven redox flow desalination device with double photoelectrodes to achieve efficient desalination without electrical energy consumption. The device consists of three parts: one photoanode unit, one photocathode unit, and one redox flow desalination unit sandwiched between the two photoelectrode units. The photoelectrode units include a TiO2 photoanode and a NiO photocathode sensitized with N719 dye, triiodide/iodide redox electrolyte, and graphite paper integrated electrodes decorated with 3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene. Two salt feeds are located between two ferro/ferricyanide redox flow chambers. Under light illumination, high-quality freshwater is obtained from brackish water containing different concentrations of NaCl from 1000 to 12,000 ppm with a high NaCl removal rate. The device can work in multiple desalination cycles without significant performance declines. Furthermore, natural seawater with an ionic conductivity of 53.45 mS cm-1 is desalinated to freshwater. This new design opens opportunities to realize efficient and practical solar-driven desalination processes.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) are considered as one of the promising electrode materials due to their fascinating redox reversibility and electronic conductivity. However, volume expansion during the charge/discharge process impedes their practical applications. The reasonable design of TMS electrode materials with unique morphology can improve the energy storage performance. Herein, we prepared the Ni3S2/Co9S8/NiS composite that is in situ grown on Ni foam (NF) via a one-step electrodeposition process. The optimized Ni3S2/Co9S8/NiS-7 shows a superhigh specific capacity of 2785.3 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and remarkable rate capability. Furthermore, the as-assembled device displays a high energy density of 40.1 W h kg-1 at a power density of 799.3 W kg-1 and a satisfactory stability of 96.6% retention after 5000 cycles. This work provides a facile way to fabricate new TMS electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
Superbugs, also known as multidrug-resistant bacteria, have become a lethal and persistent threat due to their unresponsiveness toward conventional antibiotics. The main reason for this is that superbugs can rapidly mutate and restrict any foreign drug/molecule in their vicinity. Herein, nanomaterial-mediated therapies have set their path and shown burgeoning efficiency toward the ablation of superbugs. Notably, treatment modalities like photothermal therapy (PTT) have shown prominence in killing multidrug-resistant bacteria with their ability to generate local heat shock-mediated hyperthermia in such species. However, photothermal treatment has some serious limitations, such as high cost, complexity, and even toxicity to some extent. Hence, it is important to resolve such shortcomings of PTTs as they provide substantial tissue penetration. This is why multimodal PTTs have emerged and taken over this domain of research for the past few years. In this work, we have summarized and critically reviewed such exceptional works of recent times and provided a perspective to enhance their efficiencies. Profoundly, we discuss the design rationales of some novel photothermal agents (PTAs) and shed light on their mechanisms. Finally, challenges for PTT-derived multimodal therapy are presented, and capable synergistic bactericidal prospects are anticipated.

Abstract
Composition optimization, structural design, and introduction of external magnetic fields into the catalytic process can remarkably improve the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of a catalyst. NiFe2O4@(Ni, Fe)S/P materials with a heterogeneous core-shell structure were prepared by the sulfide/phosphorus method based on spinel-structured NiFe2O4 nanomicrospheres. After the sulfide/phosphorus treatment, not only the intrinsic activity of the material and the active surface area were increased but also the charge transfer resistance was reduced due to the internal electric field. The overpotential of NiFe2O4@(Ni, Fe)P at 10 mA cm-2 (iR correction), Tafel slope, and charge transfer resistance were 261 mV, 42 mV dec-1, and 3.163 Ω, respectively. With an alternating magnetic field, the overpotential of NiFe2O4@(Ni, Fe)P at 10 mA cm-2 (without iR correction) declined by 45.5% from 323 mV (0 mT) to 176 mV (4.320 mT). Such enhancement of performance is primarily accounted for the enrichment of the reactive ion OH- on the electrode surface induced by the inductive electric potential derived from the Faraday induction effect of the AMF. This condition increased the electrode potential and thus the charge transfer rate on the one hand and weakened the diffusion of the active substance from the electrolyte to the electrode surface on the other hand. The OER process was dominantly controlled by the charge transfer process under low current conditions. A fast charge transfer rate boosted the OER performance of the catalyst. At high currents, diffusion exerted a significant effect on the OER process and low OH- diffusion rates would lead to a decrease in the OER performance of the catalyst.

Abstract
As an emerging two-dimensional (2D) material, the TiB4 monolayer possesses intrinsic advantages in electrochemical applications owing to its graphene-like structure and metallic characteristics. In this work, we performed density functional calculations to investigate the electrochemical properties of the TiB4 monolayer as an anode material for Li/Na/K ion batteries and as an electrocatalyst for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR). Our investigation reveals that Li/Na/K ions could be steadily adsorbed on the TiB4 monolayer with moderate adsorption energies, and tended to diffuse along two adjacent C-sites with lower energy barriers (0.231/0.094/0.067 eV for Li/Na/K ions) compared to the currently reported transition-metal boride monolayers. Furthermore, a N2 molecule can be spontaneously captured by the TiB4 monolayer with a negative Gibbs free energy (-0.925 eV and -0.326 eV for end-on and side-on adsorptions, respectively), hence provoking a conversion into NH3 along the most efficient reaction pathway (i.e., N2* → N2H* → HNNH* → H2NNH* → H3NNH* → NH* → NH2* → NH3*). In the hydrogenation process, the TiB4 monolayer exhibits much higher catalytic activity for the NRR as compared with other electrocatalysts, which should be attributed to the spontaneous achievement (ΔG < 0) at all hydrogenation reaction steps except the potential-determining step. Moreover, the TiB4 monolayer exhibits higher selectivity toward the NRR than the hydrogen evolution reaction. Our work advances the mechanistic understanding on the electrochemical properties of the TiB4 monolayer as an anode material for metal-ion batteries and as a NRR electrocatalyst, and provides significant guidance for developing high-performance multifunctional 2D materials.

Abstract
Since nanozymes were proposed, their applications have become more and more extensive. As a research hotspot in recent years, MoS2 also shows many enzyme-like properties. However, as a novel peroxidase, MoS2 has the disadvantage of a low maximum reaction rate. In this study, the MoS2/PDA@Cu nanozyme was synthesized by a wet chemical method. The modification of PDA on the surface of MoS2 achieved the uniform growth of small-sized Cu Nps. The obtained MoS2/PDA@Cu nanozyme displayed excellent peroxidase-like activity and antibacterial properties. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the MoS2/PDA@Cu nanozyme against S. aureus reached 25 μg mL-1. Furthermore, it showed a more pronounced inhibitory effect on bacterial growth with the addition of H2O2. The maximum reaction rate (Vmax) of the MoS2/PDA@Cu nanozyme is 29.33 × 10-8 M s-1, which is significantly higher as compared to that of HRP. It also exhibited excellent biocompatibility, hemocompatibility and potential anticancer properties. When the concentration of the nanozyme was 160 μg mL-1, the viabilities of 4T1 cells and Hep G2 cells were 45.07% and 32.35%, respectively. This work indicates that surface regulation and electronic transmission control are good strategies for improving peroxidase-like activity.

Abstract
The attention on group III-VI compounds in the last decades has been centered on the optoelectronic properties of indium and gallium chalcogenides. These outstanding properties are leading to novel advancements in terms of fundamental and applied science. One of the advantages of these compounds is to present laminated structures, which can be exfoliated down to monolayers. Despite the large knowledge gathered toward indium and gallium chalcogenides, the family of the group III-VI compounds embraces several other noncommon compounds formed by the other group III elements. These compounds present various crystal lattices, among which a great deal is offered from layered structures. Studies on aluminium chalcogenides show interesting potential as anodes in batteries and as semiconductors. Thallium (Tl), which is commonly present in the +1 oxidation state, is one of the key components in ternary chalcogenides. However, binary Tl-Q (Q = S, Se, Te) systems and derived films are still studied for their semiconducting and thermoelectric properties. This review aims to summarize the biggest features of these unusual materials and to shed some new light on them with the perspective that in the future, novel studies can revive these compounds in order to give rise to a new generation of technology.

Abstract
The crystal facets featured with facet-dependent physical and chemical properties can exhibit varied electrocatalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) attributed to their anisotropy. The highly active exposed crystal facets enable increased mass activity of active sites, lower reaction energy barriers, and enhanced catalytic reaction rates for HER and OER. The formation mechanism and control strategy of the crystal facet, significant contributions as well as challenges and perspectives of facet-engineered catalysts for HER and OER are provided. The electrocatalytic water splitting technology can generate high-purity hydrogen without emitting carbon dioxide, which is in favor of relieving environmental pollution and energy crisis and achieving carbon neutrality. Electrocatalysts can effectively reduce the reaction energy barrier and increase the reaction efficiency. Facet engineering is considered as a promising strategy in controlling the ratio of desired crystal planes on the surface. Owing to the anisotropy, crystal planes with different orientations usually feature facet-dependent physical and chemical properties, leading to differences in the adsorption energies of oxygen or hydrogen intermediates, and thus exhibit varied electrocatalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this review, a brief introduction of the basic concepts, fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms as well as key evaluating parameters for both HER and OER are provided. The formation mechanisms of the crystal facets are comprehensively overviewed aiming to give scientific theory guides to realize dominant crystal planes. Subsequently, three strategies of selective capping agent, selective etching agent, and coordination modulation to tune crystal planes are comprehensively summarized. Then, we present an overview of significant contributions of facet-engineered catalysts toward HER, OER, and overall water splitting. In particular, we highlight that density functional theory calculations play an indispensable role in unveiling the structure–activity correlation between the crystal plane and catalytic activity. Finally, the remaining challenges in facet-engineered catalysts for HER and OER are provided and future prospects for designing advanced facet-engineered electrocatalysts are discussed.

Abstract
Recently, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs)-based anode materials (oxides, sulfides, selenides, phosphides, borides, and carbides) have been extensively investigated in the field of energy conversion and storage. This is due to PBAs' unique properties, including high theoretical specific capacity, environmental friendly, and low cost. We thoroughly discussed the formation of PBAs in conjunction with other materials. The performance of composite materials improves the electrochemical performance of its energy storage materials. Furthermore, new insights are provided for the manufacture of low-cost, high-capacity, and long-life battery materials in order to solve the difficulties in different electrode materials, combined with advanced manufacturing technology and principles.

Abstract
Developing photothermal solar driven membrane distillation (PSDMD) is of great importance in providing fresh water for remote off-grid regions. The production of freshwater through the PSDMD is driven by the temperature difference between feed and distillate sides created via the addition of efficient photothermal nanostructures. Here we proposed nickel sulfides and nickel tellurium nanoparticles (NPs) to be loaded into the polymeric membrane to enhance its performance. Ag and CuSe NPs are also considered for comparison as they are previously used for membrane distillation (MD). Our theoretical approach showed that all of the considered NPs increased the temperature of the PVDF membrane by around a few degrees. NiS and NiTe2 NPs are the most efficient solar light-to-heat converters compared to NiTe and NiS2 NPs due to their efficient absorption over the visible range. PVDF membrane loaded with 25% of NiCs NPs and a porosity of 32% produced a transmembrane vapor flux between 22 and 27 L/m2h under a 10-times-amplified sun intensity. Under the same conditions, the PVDF membrane loaded with CuSe and Ag NPs produced 15 and 18 L/m2h of vapor flux, respectively. The implantation of NPs through the membrane not only increased its surface temperature but also possessed a high porosity which provided a higher distillation and energy efficiency that reached 58% with NiS NPs. Finally, great agreement between our theoretical model and experimental measurement is obtained.

Abstract
Novel light harvesting platforms and strategies are crucial to develop renewable photon to energy conversion technologies that overcome the current global energy and environmental challenges. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductor layers are particularly attractive for photoconversion applications but new ultra-compact photon harvesting schemes are urgently required to mitigate their poor photon absorption properties. Here, we propose a flat-optics scheme based on nanogrooved ultra-thin MoS2 layers conformally grown onto large area (cm2 scale) nanopatterned templates. The subwavelength re-shaping of the 2D-TMD layers promotes the excitation of photonic Rayleigh anomaly (RA) modes, uniquely boosting a strong in-plane electromagnetic confinement. By tailoring the illumination conditions, we demonstrate effective tuning of the photonic anomalies over a broadband visible spectrum across the absorption band of relevant polluting dye molecules. Thanks to the strong photonic in-plane confinement, we achieve a resonant enhancement of the photodissociation rate of methylene blue (MB) molecules, well above a factor of 2. These results highlight the potential of flat-optics photon harvesting schemes for boosting photoconversion efficiency in large-scale hybrid 2D-TMD/polymer layers, with a strong impact in various applications ranging from new-generation photonics to waste water remediation and renewable energy storage.

Abstract
The morphology design of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) is an important way to determine the catalytic performance of LDH materials. A novel structure of CoNi LDH sheets with amorphous structure on the edge was prepared by electrooxidation. It was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and XPS. It was found that during the electrooxidation, some of the Co2+ ions were oxidized to Co3+ to form amorphous CoOOH intermediates, which promoted the OER performance. The electrochemical test results show that CoNi LDH treated by electrooxidation for 6 hours has an ultra-low overpotential of 206 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, and can work stably under alkaline conditions for more than 10 hours. This work suggests that introducing an amorphous structure on LDH through electrooxidation produces abundant active sites, which is an easy and efficient method to improve the OER performance of CoNi LDHs.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed extensive breakthroughs and significant progress in atomically flat two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) in terms of synthesis, growth mechanisms, optical and electronic properties and practical applications. Such NPLs have electronic structures similar to those of quantum wells in which excitons are predominantly confined along the vertical direction, while electrons are free to move in the lateral directions, resulting in unique optical properties, such as extremely narrow emission line width, short photoluminescence (PL) lifetime, high gain coefficient, and giant oscillator strength transition (GOST). These unique optical properties make NPLs favorable for high color purity light-emitting applications, in particular in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), backlights for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and lasers. This review article first introduces the intrinsic characteristics of 2D semiconductor NPLs with atomic flatness. Subsequently, the approaches and mechanisms for the controlled synthesis of atomically flat NPLs are summarized followed by an insight on recent progress in the mediation of core/shell, core/crown and core/crown@shell structures by selective epitaxial growth of passivation layers on different planes of NPLs. Moreover, an overview of the unique optical properties and the associated light-emitting applications is elaborated. Despite great progress in this research field, there are some issues relating to heavy metal elements such as Cd2+ in NPLs, and the ambiguous gain mechanisms of NPLs and others are the main obstacles that prevent NPLs from widespread applications. Therefore, a perspective is included at the end of this review article, in which the current challenges in this stimulating research field are discussed and possible solutions to tackle these challenges are proposed.

Abstract
The powerful and rapid development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in secondary batteries field makes lithium resources in short supply, leading to rising battery costs. Under the circumstances, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with low cost, inexhaustible sodium reserves, and analogous work principle to LIBs, have evolved as one of the most anticipated candidates for large-scale energy storage devices. Thereinto, the applicable electrode is a core element for the smooth development of SIBs. Among various anode materials, metal selenides (MSex ) with relatively high theoretical capacity and unique structures have aroused extensive interest. Regrettably, MSex suffers from large volume expansion and unwished side reactions, which result in poor electrochemistry performance. Thus, strategies such as carbon modification, structural design, voltage control as well as electrolyte and binder optimization are adopted to alleviate these issues. In this review, the synthesis methods and main reaction mechanisms of MSex are systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the major challenges of MSex and the corresponding available strategies are proposed. Furthermore, the recent research progress on layered and nonlayered MSex for application in SIBs is presented and discussed in detail. Finally, the future development focuses of MSex in the field of rechargeable ion batteries are highlighted.

Abstract
ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanostructures, which are studied for diverse possible applications, ranging from semiconductors, photovoltaics, and light-emitting diodes (LED), to solar cells, infrared detectors, and thermoelectrics, were synthesized and characterized by XRD, HR-(S)TEM, and analytical TEM (EDX and EELS). Moreover, band-gap measurements of the ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanostructures have been performed using UV/Vis DRS. The experimental results were combined with theoretical modeling of ZnO/ZnS (hetero)structures and band structure calculations for ZnO/ZnS systems, yielding more insights into the properties of the nanoparticles. The ab initio calculations were performed using hybrid PBE0 and HSE06 functionals. The synthesized and characterized ZnO/ZnS core/shell materials show a unique three-phase composition, where the ZnO phase is dominant in the core region and, interestingly, the auxiliary ZnS compound occurs in two phases as wurtzite and sphalerite in the shell region. Moreover, theoretical ab initio calculations show advanced semiconducting properties and possible band-gap tuning in such ZnO/ZnS structures.

Abstract
The solution-based colloidal synthesis of multinary semiconductor compositions has allowed the design of new inorganic materials impacting a large variety of applications. Yet there are certain compositions that have remained elusive-particularly quaternary structures of transition metal-based (e.g., Co, Zn, Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cr) copper antimony chalcogenides. These are widely sought for tuning the electrical and thermal conductivity as a function of the size, composition, and crystal phase. In this work, a facile hot injection approach for the synthesis of three different tetrahedrite-substituted nanocrystals (NCs) (Cu10Zn2Sb4S13, Cu10Co2Sb4S13, and Cu10Ni1.5Sb4S13) and their growth mechanisms are investigated. We reveal that the interplay between the Zn, Ni, and Co precursors on the basis of thiophilicity is key to obtaining pure phase NCs with controlled size and shape. While all of the synthesized crystal phases display outstanding low thermal conductivity, the Cu10.5Sb4Ni1.5S13 system shows the most enhanced electrical conductivity compared to Cu10Zn2Sb4S13 and Cu10Co2Sb4S13. This study highlights an effective synthesis strategy for the growth of complex quaternary nanocrystals and their high potential for application in thermoelectrics.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs), known as green designer solvents, have shown tremendous application potential in various fields of science and technology. Their unusual and unique physicochemical properties have attracted researchers worldwide from interdisciplinary research areas. ILs possess high boiling point and low volatility, that makes them suitable environmentally benign candidates for many potential applications. The more important aspect associated with ILs is their physicochemical properties can be effectively changed for desired applications just by tuning the structure of the cationic and/or anionic part of ILs. Furthermore, these environmentally benign designer materials can be used as both electrolytes as well as solvents depending on the requirement. Owing to thedistinctive properties such as low volatility, high thermal and electrochemical stability, better ionic conductivity, ILs are nowadays immensely used in variety of energy applications, particularly in the development of green and sustainable energy storage and conversion devices. Suitable ILs are designed for specific purposesto be used as electrolytes and/or solvents for fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors(SCs) and solar cells. Herein, we have highlighted the utilization of ILs as unique green designer materials in Li-batteries, fuel cells,SCs and solar cells. This review will enlighten the promising prospects of these unique environmentally sustainable materials for next-generation green energy conversion and storage devices.

Abstract
Among many electrode materials, cobalt-based nanomaterials are widely used in supercapacitors because of their high natural abundance, good electrical conductivity, and high specific capacitance. However, there are still some difficulties to overcome, including poor structural stability and low power density. This paper summarizes the research progress of cobalt-based nanomaterials (cobalt oxide, cobalt hydroxide, cobalt-containing ternary metal oxides, etc.) as electrode materials for supercapacitors in recent years and discusses the preparation methods and properties of the materials. Notably, the focus of this paper is on the strategies to improve the electrochemical properties of these materials. We show that the performance of cobalt-based nanomaterials can be improved by designing their morphologies and, among the many morphologies, the mesoporous structure plays a major role. This is because mesoporous structures can mitigate volume changes and improve the performance of pseudo capacitance. This review is dedicated to the study of several cobalt-based nanomaterials in supercapacitors, and we hope that future scholars will make new breakthroughs in morphology design.

Abstract
The structural design of multiple functional components could enhance the synergistic catalytic performance of MoS2-based composites in enzyme-like catalysis. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) Fe-MoS2 microtubes were designed to prepare tubular Fe-doped MoS2 composites with MoO3 microrods as self-sacrificing precursors. Remarkably, the results indicated that the generated ammonia released from the sulfidation process led to the dissolution of MoO3 cores and the generation of a tubular structure. The Fe-MoS2 composites integrated the synergistic effects of Fe-doped MoS2 nanosheets (NSs) and the 1D tubular structure. Thus, a higher catalytic activity was observed in peroxidase-like catalysis than in other components, such as MoO3@FeOOH, FeOOH and MoS2 NSs. The peroxidase-like mechanism originated from the generation of the ˙OH radical. The Fe-MoS2 microtube-based colorimetric assay was used to detect H2O2 with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.51 μM in a linear range from 1.25 to 50 μM. The colorimetric method was simple, selective, and sensitive for glutathione (GSH) detection in the range of 0.25-125 μM with a detection limit (LOD) of 0.12 μM. Thus, we provide a facile synthetic strategy for simultaneously integrating electronic modulation and structural design to develop an efficient MoS2-based functional catalyst.

Abstract
In recent years, advances in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have pushed the research of other metal-ion batteries to the forefront. Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted much attention owing to their low cost, high capacity and non-toxic characteristics. Among various cathodes, transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) with a layered structure are considered as suitable electrode materials. The large layer spacing facilitates the intercalation/de-intercalation of Zn2+ between the layers. In this mini-review, we summarize a variety of design strategies for the modification of TMCs. Then, we specifically emphasize the zinc storage capacity of the optimized electrodes. Finally, we propose the challenges and future prospects of cathode materials for high-energy AZIBs.
