Abstract
In the present study, we fabricated hollow cubic CuxO nanoparticles (∼23 nm) incorporated with CNF (HC-CuxO/CNF) through controlled thermal oxidation of solid cubic Cu2O nanoparticles (∼21 nm) supported on carbon nanofibers (SC-Cu2O/CNF) under airflow, exploiting the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. These hollow CuxO nanocubes with increased surface areas exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for unsymmetrical chalcogenide synthesis under ligand-free conditions.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:37040-37048. [PMID: 35496386 PMCID: PMC9043605 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra06899g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
γ-MnO2 nanomaterials play an essential role in the development of advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices with versatile industrial applications. Herein, novel dandelion-like hollow microspheres of γ-MnO2 mesocrystals have been fabricated for the first time by a one-pot biomineralization route. Recombinant collagen with unique rod-like structure has been demonstrated as a robust template to tune the morphologies of γ-MnO2 mesocrystals, and a very low concentration of collagen can alter the nanostructures of γ-MnO2 from nanorods to microspheres. The as-prepared γ-MnO2 mesocrystals formed well-ordered hollow microspheres composed of delicate nanoneedle-like units. Among all the reported γ-MnO2 with various nanostructures, the γ-MnO2 microspheres showed the most prowess to maintain high discharge capacities after 100+ cycles. The superior electrochemical performance of γ-MnO2 likely results from its unique hierarchical micro-nano structure. Notably, the γ-MnO2 mesocrystals display high biocompatibility and cellular activity. Collagen plays a key dual role in mediating the morphology as well as endowing the biofunction of the γ-MnO2 mesocrystals. This environmentally friendly biomineralization approach using rod-like collagen as the template, provides unprecedented opportunity for the production of novel nanostructured metal oxides with superior biocompatibility and electrochemical performance, which have great potential in advanced implantable and wearable health-care electronic devices. Recombinant collagen with unique rod-like structure has been demonstrated as a robust template to create novel dandelion-like hollow microspheres of γ-MnO2 mesocrystals, which display superior biocompatibility and electrochemical performance.![]()

Abstract
In this mini-review, we highlighted the recent progresses in the controlled synthesis of metal sulfides hollow nanostructures via hard template technique. After a brief introduction about the formation mechanism of the inorganic hollow nanostructures via hard template technique, the discussions primarily focused on the emerging development of metal sulfides hollow nanostructures. Various synthetic strategies were summarized concerning the use of the hard template engaged strategies to fabricate various metal sulfides hollow nanostructures, such as hydrothermal method, solvothermal method, ion-exchange, sulfidation or calcination etc. Finally, the perspectives and summaries have been presented to demonstrate that a facile synthetic technique would be widely used to fabricate metal sulfides hollow nanostructures with multi-shells and components.

Abstract
The inherent susceptibility to oxidation and poor sinterability significantly limit the practical application of Cu-based conductive inks. Most methodologies employed for the inks like organic polymer coatings and inorganic metal deposition are generally ineffective. Herein, we report the design of a novel hierarchical Cu architecture to simultaneously improve the antioxidative and sinterability via a self-passivation mechanism and loose interior structures. The hierarchical Cu architecture was prepared using copper hydroxide, L-ascorbic acid, and polyvinylpyrrolidone in aqueous solution; 40 g Cu were prepared in a scale-up experiment. A possible growth mechanism is proposed, involving the Cu2O-templated and mediated nucleation and growth of Cu nanocrystals, followed by the PVP-directed electrostatic self-assembly of Cu nanocrystals. The synthesized Cu shows high oxidation resistance after stored in ambient environment for 90 d by self-passivation, wherein the dense oxidized external layer prevented further oxidation of Cu, unlike other antioxidative strategies. In addition, the structure became 2D flake after a simple ball-milling for 10 min of 2000r, thus forming a good conductive network at the temperature of 180 °C. Importantly, no obvious decline in the electrical performance after severe surface oxidation. Although the structure cannot offer excellent conductive performance, but it proposes a new solution for the balance of antioxidative capabilities and good sinterability in Cu nanomaterials, thus facilitating greater utilization of Cu-based conductive inks for emerging flexible electronic applications.

Abstract
Exposed high-index facets with a high density of low-coordinated atoms (including edges, steps and kinks) can provide more high-active sites for chemical reactions. Therefore, great progress has made in the facet-dependent application of various high-index faceted micro-/nanostructures in the past decades. Previous review papers have mainly highlighted the advances in high-index faceted noble metal nanocrystals. However, to date, there is no specialized review paper on high-index faceted metal oxides and their facet-dependent applications. Thus, in this review, the existing high-index faceted metal oxide micro-/nanostructures, including Cu2O, TiO2, Fe2O3, ZnO, SnO2 and BiVO4, are reviewed based on their characterization, synthesis engineering and facet-dependent applications in the fields of catalysis, sensors, lithium-ion batteries and carbon monoxide oxidation. Also, several challenges and perspectives are presented. Hopefully, this review article will be a useful guideline and resource for researchers currently concentrating on high-index faceted metal oxides to design and synthesize novel micro-/nanostructures for overcoming the practical environment-, biology- and energy-related problems.
