Abstract
Heterostructures and the introduction of heterogeneous elements have been regarded as effective strategies to promote electrochemical performance. Herein, sulfur species are introduced by a simple hydrothermal vulcanization method, which constructs the open heterostructure Fe7S8/Mn(OH)2 as a bifunctional material. The open cordyceps-like morphology can make the material contact more sufficiently with the electrolyte, exposing a large number of reaction sites. Furthermore, the introduction of the heterogeneous element S successfully constructs a heterogeneous interface, the interface-modulated composite material consists of Mn atoms contributing the main density of states (DOS) near the Fermi energy level from the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which optimizes the adsorption energy of oxygen-containing intermediates during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process and reduces the reaction energy barrier, being conducive to the improvement of the material's electrochemical properties. As predicted, the Fe7S8/Mn(OH)2 material exhibits remarkable electrochemical properties, such as an overpotential of 202 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for the oxygen evolution reaction and even a specific capacitance of 2198 F g-1 at 1 A g-1. This work provides new insights into the role of introducing sulfur species and controlling the structure of the material, and exemplifies novel design ideas for developing bifunctional materials for energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Over the past decade, transition metal (TM)-based electrodes have shown intriguing physicochemical properties and widespread applications, especially in the field of supercapacitor energy storage owing to their diverse configurations, composition, porosity, and redox reactions. As one of the most intriguing research interests, the design of porous architectures in TM-based electrode materials has been demonstrated to facilitate ion/electron transport, modulate their electronic structure, diminish strain relaxation, and realize synergistic effects of multi-metals. Herein, the recent advances in porous TM-based electrodes are summarized, focusing on their typical synthesis strategies, including template-mediated assembly, thermal decomposition strategy, chemical deposition strategy, and host-guest hybridization strategy. Simultaneously, the corresponding conversion mechanism of each synthesis strategy are reviewed, and the merits and demerits of each strategy in building porous architectures are also discussed. Subsequently, TM-based electrode materials are categorized into TM oxides, TM hydroxides, TM sulfides, TM phosphides, TM carbides, and other TM species with a detailed review of their crystalline phase, electronic structure, and microstructure evolution to tune their electrochemical energy storage capacity. Finally, the challenges and prospects of porous TM-based electrode materials are presented to guide the future development in this field.

Abstract
The need for reliable renewable energy storage devices has become increasingly important. However, the performance of current electrochemical energy storage devices is limited by either low energy or power densities and short lifespans. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of multilayer Ti4N3Tx MXene in various aqueous electrolytes. We demonstrate that Ti4N3Tx can be electrochemically activated through continuous cation intercalation over a 10 day period using cyclic voltammetry. A wide operating window of 2 V is maintained throughout activation. After activation, capacitance at 2 mV s-1 increases by 300%, 140%, and 500% in 1 M H2SO4, 1 M MgSO4, and 1 M KOH, respectively, while maintaining ∼600 F g-1 at 2 mV s-1 after 50000 cycles in 1 M H2SO4. This activation process is possibly attributed to the unique morphology of the multilayered material, allowing cation intercalation to increase access to redox-active sites between layers. This work adds to the growing repository of electrochemically stable MXenes reported for aqueous energy storage applications. These findings offer a reliable option for reliable energy storage devices with potential applications in large-scale grid storage and electric vehicles.

Abstract
Copper tin sulfide, Cu4SnS4 (CTS), a ternary transition-metal chalcogenide with unique properties, including superior electrical conductivity, distinct crystal structure, and high theoretical capacity, is a potential candidate for supercapacitor (SC) electrode materials. However, there are few studies reporting the application of Cu4SnS4 or its composites as electrode materials for SCs. The reported performance of the Cu4SnS4 electrode is insufficient regarding cycle stability, rate capability, and specific capacity; probably resulting from poor electrical conductivity, restacking, and agglomeration of the active material during continued charge-discharge cycles. Such limitations can be overcome by incorporating graphene as a support material and employing a binder-free, facile, electrodeposition technique. This work reports the fabrication of a copper tin sulfide-reduced graphene oxide/nickel foam composite electrode (CTS-rGO/NF) through stepwise, facile electrodeposition of rGO and CTS on a NF substrate. Electrochemical evaluations confirmed the enhanced supercapacitive performance of the CTS-rGO/NF electrode compared to that of CTS/NF. A remarkably improved specific capacitance of 820.83 F g-1 was achieved for the CTS-rGO/NF composite electrode at a current density of 5 mA cm-2, which is higher than that of CTS/NF (516.67 F g-1). The CTS-rGO/NF composite electrode also exhibited a high-rate capability of 73.1% for galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) current densities, ranging from 5 to 12 mA cm-2, and improved cycling stability with over a 92% capacitance retention after 1000 continuous GCD cycles; demonstrating its excellent performance as an electrode material for energy storage applications, encompassing SCs. The enhanced performance of the CTS-rGO/NF electrode could be attributed to the synergetic effect of the enhanced conductivity and surface area introduced by the inclusion of rGO in the composite.

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
Interactions of manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs) with vital biomolecules namely deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and serum albumin (BSA) have been studied in association with different surfactants by using fluorescence (steady state, synchronous and 3D), UV-visible, resonance light scattering (RLS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The esterase activity of serum albumin was tested in associations with MnO2 NPs and surfactants. The antioxidant potential of prepared NPs was also evaluated (DPPH method). Gel electrophoresis was carried out to analyze the effect of MnO2 NPs and surfactants on DNA. Presence of CTAB, Tween 20, DTAB and Tween 80 enhanced nanoparticle-protein binding. Tween 20 based nanoparticle systems showed long-term stability and biocompatibility. The quenching of BSA fluorescence emission in presence of MnO2 NPs alone and along with Tween 20 revealed stronger association of nanoparticles with proteins. Enhancement in the esterase activity (BSA) was observed in the presence of Tween 20. Furthermore, radical scavenging activity showed highest antioxidant potential in presence of Tween 20. The enthalpy and entropy assessment for protein-NPs association showed the predominance of Vander Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding. The synchronous fluorescence analysis highlighted the involvement of tryptophan (Trp) in the MnO2 NPs-protein interactions. The study evaluates the influence of surfactant on the associations of MnO2 NPs with the essential biomolecules. The findings can be crucially utilized in designing biocompatible MnO2 formulations for long term applications.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
High entropy metal chalcogenides are materials containing five or more elements within a disordered sublattice. These materials exploit a high configurational entropy to stabilize their crystal structure and have recently become an area of significant interest for renewable energy applications such as electrocatalysis and thermoelectrics. Herein, we report the synthesis of bulk particulate HE zinc sulfide analogues containing four, five, and seven metals. This was achieved using a molecular precursor cocktail approach with both transition and main group metal dithiocarbamate complexes which are decomposed simultaneously in a rapid (1 h) and low-temperature (500 °C) thermolysis reaction to yield high entropy and entropy-stabilized metal sulfides. The resulting materials were characterized by powder XRD, SEM, and TEM, alongside EDX spectroscopy at both the micro- and nano-scales. The entropy-stabilized (CuAgZnCoMnInGa)S material was demonstrated to be an excellent electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction when combined with conducting carbon black, achieving a low onset overpotential of (∼80 mV) and η10 of (∼255 mV).

Abstract
Transition-metal chalcogenide nanostructures provide a unique material platform to engineer next-generation energy storage devices such as lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion batteries and flexible supercapacitors. The transition-metal chalcogenide nanocrystals and thin films have enhanced electroactive sites for redox reactions and hierarchical flexibility of structure and electronic properties in the multinary compositions. They also consist of more earth-abundant elements. These properties make them attractive and more viable new electrode materials for energy storage devices compared to the traditional materials. This review highlights the recent advances in chalcogenide-based electrodes for batteries and flexible supercapacitors. The viability and structure-property relation of these materials are explored. The use of various chalcogenide nanocrystals supported on carbonaceous substrates, two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides, and novel MXene-based chalcogenide heterostructures as electrode materials to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries is discussed. The sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries offer a more viable alternative to lithium-ion technology as they consist of readily available source materials. Application of various transition metal chalcogenides such as MoS2, MoSe2, VS2, and SnSx, composite materials, and heterojunction bimetallic nanosheets composed of multi-metals as electrodes to enhance the long-term cycling stability, rate capability, and structural strength to counteract the large volume expansion during the ion intercalation/deintercalation processes is highlighted. The promising performances of layered chalcogenides and various chalcogenide nanowire compositions as electrodes for flexible supercapacitors are also discussed in detail. The review also details the progress made in new chalcogenide nanostructures and layered mesostructures for energy storage applications.

Abstract
The necessity to develop renewable energy resources that are highly durable and flexible with superior energy density and capacitance ability has attracted considerable interest in the field of solar cell research. Semiconducting compound materials that are easily available, hazard-free and cost-effective are emerging as potential solutions to tackle this challenge. Herein, we present multiple molecular precursors used to grow manganese sulfide nanoparticles through a proficient one-step heat-up approach. For all of the tested samples, the X-ray diffraction peaks correspond to a γ-MnS hexagonal wurtzite structure. UV-Vis spectroscopy yielded absorption wavelengths of 359-420 nm and band-gap energies of 3.78-4.0 eV. Photoluminescence analysis shows characteristics of red and blue shift from 451-602 nm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) reveal a narrow size distribution with nanosticks and large contact areas, which are critical for improved catalytic performance. The current study provides an improved pathway to a well-grown and uniform nanocrystal structure for applications in energy devices.

[PMID: 36234536 PMCID: PMC9565322 DOI: 10.3390/nano12193409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The present study describes a cheap, safe, and stable chemical process for the formation of nickel sulphide (NiS) with the use of mixed and single molecular precursors. The production pathway is uncomplicated, energy-efficient, quick, and toxic-free, with large-scale commercialization potential. The obtained results show the effect of tri-N-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) as a coordinating solvent on the reaction chemistry, size distributions, morphology, and optical properties of both precursors. Ni[N,N-benz-N-p-anisldtc] as NiSa, Ni[N,N-benzldtc] as NiSb, and Ni[N-p-anisldtc] as NiSc thermally decompose in a single step at 333-334 °C. The X-ray diffraction peaks for NiSa, NiSb, and NiSc matched well with the cubic NiS nanoparticles and corresponded to planes of (111), (220), and (311). The extrapolated linear part from the Tauc plots reveals band gap values of 3.12 eV, 2.95 eV, and 2.5 eV, which confirms the three samples as potential materials for solar cell applications. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique affirmed the quantum dot size distribution at 19.69-28.19 nm for NISa, 9.08-16.63 nm for NISb, and 9.37-10.49 nm for NISc, respectively. NiSa and NiSc show a clearly distinguishable flower/star like morphology, while NiSb displays a compact nano-rod shape. To the best of the authors' knowledge, very few studies have been reported on the flower/star like and nano-rod shapes, but none with the dithiocarbamate molecular precursor for NiS nanoparticles.

Abstract
Electrode materials are key factors for supercapacitors to endow them with excellent electrochemical properties. Here, a novel hybrid structure of a CoSe/Co3O4-CNTs binder free composite electrode on nickel foam was prepared via a facile flame method, followed by an electrodeposition process. Benefitting from the synergetic effects of the multicomponent (with low resistances of 1.542 Ω cm2 and a moderate mesoporous size of 3.12 nm) and the enlarged specific surface area of the composite material (77.4 m2 g-1), the CoSe/Co3O4-CNTs composite electrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 2906 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1 with an excellent rate stability. The fabricated CoSe/Co3O4-CNTs/NF//AC ASC exhibits a high energy density of 43.4 Wh kg-1 at 0.8 kW kg-1 and a long cycle life (92.7% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles).

Abstract
Energy storage has become increasingly important as a study area in recent decades. A growing number of academics are focusing their attention on developing and researching innovative materials for use in energy storage systems to promote sustainable development goals. This is due to the finite supply of traditional energy sources, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, and escalating regional tensions. Because of these issues, sustainable renewable energy sources have been touted as an alternative to nonrenewable fuels. Deployment of renewable energy sources requires efficient and reliable energy storage devices due to their intermittent nature. High-performance electrochemical energy storage technologies with high power and energy densities are heralded to be the next-generation storage devices. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have sparked interest among electrode materials because of their intriguing electrochemical properties. Researchers have revealed a variety of modifications to improve their electrochemical performance in energy storage. However, a stronger link between the type of change and the resulting electrochemical performance is still desired. This review examines the synthesis of chalcogenides for electrochemical energy storage devices, their limitations, and the importance of the modification method, followed by a detailed discussion of several modification procedures and how they have helped to improve their electrochemical performance. We also discussed chalcogenides and their composites in batteries and supercapacitors applications. Furthermore, this review discusses the subject’s current challenges as well as potential future opportunities.

Abstract
First principles calculations have been performed to study the characteristic properties of Se n Te n (n = 5-10) clusters. The present study reveals that the properties of these small clusters are consistent with the properties of Se-Te glassy systems. Several hundred equilibrium structures obtained from a genetic algorithm based USPEX code are relaxed to their minimum energy using the VASP code. Most of the lowest energy buckled ring-like structures are formed from Se-Te heteropolar bonds. Detailed structural analysis and distance energy plots unveil that many equilibrium structures are close in energy to their global minimum. The computed Raman and IR spectra show the dominance of Se-Te heteropolar bonds, consistent with earlier simulation and experimental findings in Se1-x Te x glass materials. Low frequency vibrational modes observed in small clusters are characteristic features of amorphous materials. Non-bonding orbitals (lone pair) are observed in the HOMO, whereas the LUMO is formed from purely antibonding orbitals. The dielectric functions corroborate the bonding mechanism and slightly polar nature of Se n Te n clusters. The energy loss and absorption coefficient indicate the presence of π-plasmons in the UV-visible region. Furthermore, it is ascertained that the use of a hybrid functional (B3LYP) does not affect the properties of small clusters appreciably, except causing a blue shift in the optical spectra. Hence, we find that the small clusters have bearing on the formation of glassy Se-Te systems.

Abstract
The facile and cost-effective fabrication of hybrid nanostructures comprised of hollow mixed metallic chalcogenides has attracted growing interest in the development of high-performance energy storage devices. Herein, multi-component (nickel-cobalt-copper-sulfides/selenides (NCCS/NCCSe)) hollow nanocubes (HNCs) are prepared via a single-step sulfurization/selenization process. The NCCS material shows interior HNCs, and the NCCSe material exhibits slightly formed porous cubes. Both the prepared materials demonstrate higher charge storage performance than the precursor NCC NCs owing to the improved surface morphology and addition of sulfur and selenium ions. Particularly, the NCCS HNCs electrode reveals superior specific capacity (capacitance) (70.32 mAh g-1 (666.20 F g-1 ) at 5 mA cm-2 ) along with excellent cycling stability of 108.6% even after 10 000 cycles. Interestingly, the electrode delivers a good rate capability of 83.5% at a high current density of 20 mA cm-2 . The feasibility of the battery-type NCCS HNCs as a positive electrode is explored by constructing an aqueous electrochemical hybrid capacitor (AEHC). The AEHC exhibits maximum energy and power densities of 23.15 Wh kg-1 and 7899.08 W kg-1 , respectively. Remarkably, it demonstrates superior long-life cycling stability even after 10 000 cycles (120.6% retention). The suitability of AEHC for practical application is also tested by driving electronic devices.

Abstract
Bio-nanotechnology has emerged as an efficient and competitive methodology for the production of added-value nanomaterials (NMs). This review article gathers knowledge gleaned from the literature regarding the biosynthesis of sulfur-based chalcogenide nanoparticles (S-NPs), such as CdS, ZnS and PbS NPs, using various biological resources, namely bacteria, fungi including yeast, algae, plant extracts, single biomolecules, and viruses. In addition, this work sheds light onto the hypothetical mechanistic aspects, and discusses the impact of varying the experimental parameters, such as the employed bio-entity, time, pH, and biomass concentration, on the obtained S-NPs and, consequently, on their properties. Furthermore, various bio-applications of these NMs are described. Finally, key elements regarding the whole process are summed up and some hints are provided to overcome encountered bottlenecks towards the improved and scalable production of biogenic S-NPs.

Abstract
Nanoplates of Cu2WSe4(∼50 nm) were synthesized via a hot-injection method by one-pot selenation of WCl6and Cu(acac)2. This synthetic route provided another perspective towards the intrinsic electrochemical properties of Cu2MSe4(M = Mo or W), where their nanoparticles were previously synthesized via a metathesis route. Cations-dependent cathodic events and surface activation anodic events were identified by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile.

N was considered as a promising candidate for tailoring the bandgap of ZnO due to the similar atomic radius as well as lower ionization energy and electronegativity compared to oxygen, which resulted in the formation of a shallow acceptor level in ZnO. Moreover, Ag NPs could enhance the optical properties of the ZnO materials as a consequence of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect. The synthesized ZnO:N/Ag composite materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) analysis. The photocatalytic activity of the ZnO:N/Ag materials was evaluated for the efficient degradation of Rhodamine B (Rh.B) under solar light irradiation. The optimized ZnO:N/Ag-2 nanocomposite exhibited six times higher Rh·B degradation rate than pure ZnO. This was attributed to the enhanced absorption behavior in the solar region as well as the formation of the Schottky junction between ZnO:N and Ag NPs, which resulted in effective charge separation. In addition, the scavenger study revealed that •O2- radicals facilitated the degradation of Rh.B. The reusability test of the ZnO:N/Ag nanocomposite confirmed high photostability and efficiency of the material in each successive cycle. The present investigation illustrates a rational design of metal and nonmetal-codoped ZnO nanostructures employing a pulsed laser-assisted technique for effective application in photocatalytic remediation of wastewater.

CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 272:129901. [PMID: 33607492 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.129901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Modifying the structures and doping are proven to be effective methods to tune the structural and electrical properties of g-C3N4 quantum dots. Hence, in this study, tri-s-triazine and tri-nitro tri-s-triazine have been studied by functionalizing their edges with hydrogen. The H-functionalized tri-nitro tri-s-triazine quantum dot displays a buckled structure with a band gap of 1.988 eV, whereas the tri-s-triazine demonstrates a planner structure with a band gap of 1.636 eV. The obtained results have been compared with the previous results. The absorbance spectrum of H-functionalized trinitro tri-s-triazine falls under the visible region with a peak value of 488 nm, and the absorption spectrum of tri-s-triazine falls at 790 nm. The planarity of the tri-nitro tri-s-triazine structure is improved by doping the B atom in the N site, and the band gap of H-functionalized B doped tri-nitro tri-s-triazine is 1.143 eV. The absorbance spectrum of H-functionalized B doped tri-nitro tri-s-triazine is 508 nm. The reactivity of the structure is increased by doping B atoms, and it is confirmed by the electrophilicity index. Similarly, the H-functionalized B doped tri-s-triazine exhibits a band gap of 1.328 eV. Further, the tri-s-triazine structures are arranged in ternary form, and the properties are studied by increasing the number of B atoms in the tri-s-triazine rings. The outcome presents that the structures are planar, and band gap values are reduced further. Also, the reactivity of the sheets is increased, which is confirmed by the electrophilicity index. It is proposed that the sheets with a high reactivity can be used for the removal of hazardous ions and molecules from the industrial wastage.

Abstract
Transition-metal sulfides combined with conductive carbon nanostructures are considered promising electrode materials for redox-based supercapacitors due to their high specific capacity. However, the low rate capability of these electrodes, still considered "battery-type" electrodes, presents an obstacle for general use. In this work, we demonstrate a successful and fast fabrication process of metal sulfide-carbon nanostructures ideal for charge-storage electrodes with ultra-high capacity and outstanding rate capability. The novel hybrid binder-free electrode material consists of a vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VCN), terminated by a nanosized single-crystal metallic Ni grain; Ni is covered by a nickel nitride (Ni3N) interlayer and topped by trinickel disulfide (Ni3S2, heazlewoodite). Thus, the electrode is formed by a Ni3S2/Ni3N/Ni@NVCN architecture with a unique broccoli-like morphology. Electrochemical measurements show that these hybrid binder-free electrodes exhibit one of the best electrochemical performances compared to the other reported Ni3S2-based electrodes, evidencing an ultra-high specific capacity (856.3 C g-1 at 3 A g-1), outstanding rate capability (77.2% retention at 13 A g-1), and excellent cycling stability (83% retention after 4000 cycles at 13 A g-1). The remarkable electrochemical performance of the binder-free Ni3S2/Ni3N/Ni@NVCN electrodes is a significant step forward, improving rate capability and capacity for redox-based supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
This research aims to synthesize the Bis(di-isobutyldithiophosphinato) nickel (II) complex [Ni(iBu2PS2)] to be employed as a substrate for the deposition of nickel sulfide nanostructures, and to investigate its dielectric and impedance characteristics for applications in the electronic industry. Various analytical tools including elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, and TGA were also used to further confirm the successful synthesis of the precursor. NiS nanostructures were grown on the glass substrates by employing an aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) technique via successful decomposition of the synthesized complex under variable temperature conditions. XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDX methods were well applied to examine resultant nanostructures. Dielectric studies of NiS were carried out at room temperature within the 100 Hz to 5 MHz frequency range. Maxwell-Wagner model gave a complete explanation of the variation of dielectric properties along with frequency. The reason behind high dielectric constant values at low frequency was further endorsed by Koops phenomenological model. The efficient translational hopping and futile reorientation vibration caused the overdue exceptional drift of ac conductivity (σac) along with the rise in frequency. Two relaxation processes caused by grains and grain boundaries were identified from the fitting of a complex impedance plot with an equivalent circuit model (Rg Cg) (Rgb Qgb Cgb). Asymmetry and depression in the semicircle having center present lower than the impedance real axis gave solid justification of dielectric behavior that is non-Debye in nature.

Abstract
After in situ selenylation, hydrothermally synthesized NiMoO4 was partially converted to NiSe2 and MoSe2, and the obtained NiMoO4/NiSe2/MoSe2 nanowires were used as a supercapacitor electrode material. The specific capacitance of the nanowired NiMoO4/NiSe2/MoSe2 was significantly higher than that of NiMoO4 at a current density of 1 A g-1 (955 vs. 489 F g-1). NiMoO4/NiSe2/MoSe2 also exhibited a high capacitance retention of 86.1% after 5000 cycles at 10 A g-1. The high supercapacitive performance of NiMoO4/NiSe2/MoSe2 can be ascribed to the obvious heterointerfaces, rich defects and remarkably increased electrical conductivity after in situ selenylation of NiMoO4.

Abstract
The use of lanthanum-anchored zinc oxide distorted hexagon (La@ZnO DH) nanoclusters as an active material for the photodegradation of rhodamine B (Rh-B) dye via hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and π-π interactions is examined herein. The active photocatalyst is derived from porous zeolite imidazole frameworks (ZIF-8) via a combined ultrasonication and calcination process. The distorted hexagon nanocluster morphology with controlled surface area is shown to provide excellent catalytic activity, chemical stability and demarcated pore volume. In addition, the low bandgap (3.57 eV) of La@ZnO DH is shown to expand the degradation of Rh-B under irradiation of UV light as compared to the pristine ZIF-8-derived ZnO photocatalyst due to inhibited recombination of electrons and holes. The outstanding physicochemical stability and enhanced performance of La@ZnO DH could be ascribed to the synergistic interaction among La3+ particles and the ZnO nanoclusters and provide a route for their utilization as a promising catalyst for the detoxification of Rh-B.

Abstract
Carbon-based Quantum dots (C-QDs) are carbon-based materials that experience the quantum confinement effect, which results in superior optoelectronic properties. In recent years, C-QDs have attracted attention significantly and have shown great application potential as a high-performance supercapacitor device. C-QDs (either as a bare electrode or composite) give a new way to boost supercapacitor performances in higher specific capacitance, high energy density, and good durability. This review comprehensively summarizes the up-to-date progress in C-QD applications either in a bare condition or as a composite with other materials for supercapacitors. The current state of the three distinct C-QD families used for supercapacitors including carbon quantum dots, carbon dots, and graphene quantum dots is highlighted. Two main properties of C-QDs (structural and electrical properties) are presented and analyzed, with a focus on the contribution to supercapacitor performances. Finally, we discuss and outline the remaining major challenges and future perspectives for this growing field with the hope of stimulating further research progress.

Abstract
Electrolyte composition is a crucial factor determining the capacitive properties of a supercapacitor device. However, its complex influence on the energy storage mechanisms has not yet been fully elucidated. For this purpose, in this study, the role of three different types of electrolytes based on a propylene carbonate (PC) solution containing tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAClO4), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) and butyltrimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (N1114TFSI) ionic liquid on vertically-oriented graphene nanosheet electrodes has been investigated. Herein, in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) and its coupling with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), known as ac-electrogravimetry, have allowed the dynamic aspects of the (co)electroadsorption processes at the electrode-electrolyte interface to be examined. A major contribution of ClO4− anions (TBAClO4) was evidenced, whereas in the PC/N1114TFSI mixture (50:50 wt%) both anions (TFSI−) and cations (N1114+) were symmetrically exchanged during cycling. In the particular case of LiClO4, solvation of Li+ cations in PC was involved, affecting the kinetics of electroadsorption. These results demonstrate the suitability of dynamic electrogravimetric methods to unveil the interfacial exchange properties of mobile species for the conception of new high performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
In the present study, the synthesis of CoWO4 (CWO)-Ni nanocomposites was conducted using a wet chemical method. The crystalline phases and morphologies of the Ni nanoparticles, CWO, and CWO-Ni composites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). The electrochemical properties of CWO and CWO-Ni composite electrode materials were assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) tests using KOH as a supporting electrolyte. Among the CWO-Ni composites containing different amounts of Ni1, Ni2, and Ni3, CWO-Ni3 exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 271 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, which was greater than that of bare CWO (128 F g-1). Moreover, the CWO-Ni3 composite electrode material displayed excellent reversible cyclic stability and maintained 86.4% of its initial capacitance after 1500 discharge cycles. The results obtained herein demonstrate that the prepared CWO-Ni3 nanocomposite is a promising electrode candidate for supercapacitor applications.

Recent Advances in Nanostructured Transition Metal Carbide- and Nitride-Based Cathode Electrocatalysts for Li-O 2 Batteries (LOBs): A Brief Review. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 10:E2106. [PMID: 33114076 PMCID: PMC7690842 DOI: 10.3390/nano10112106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Revised: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A large volume of research on lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries (LOBs) has been conducted in the recent decades, inspired by their high energy density and power density. However, these future generation energy-storage devices are still subject to technical limitations, including a squat round-trip efficiency and a deprived rate-capability, due to the slow-moving electrochemical kinetics of both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) over the surface of the cathode catalyst. Because the electrochemistry of LOBs is rather complex, only a limited range of cathode catalysts has been employed in the past. To understand the catalytic mechanisms involved and improve overall cell performance, the development of new cathode electrocatalysts with enhanced round-trip efficiency is extremely important. In this context, transition metal carbides and nitrides (TMCs and TMNs, respectively) have been explored as potential catalysts to overcome the slow kinetics of electrochemical reactions. To provide an accessible and up-to-date summary for the research community, the present paper reviews the recent advancements of TMCs and TMNs and its applications as active electrocatalysts for LOBs. In particular, significant studies on the rational design of catalysts and the properties of TMC/TMN in LOBs are discussed, and the prospects and challenges facing the continued development of TMC/TMN electrocatalysts and strategies for attaining higher OER/ORR activity in LOBs are presented.

Abstract
The surging interest in high performance, low-cost, and safe energy storage devices has spurred tremendous research efforts in the development of advanced electrode active materials. Herein, the in situ growth of zinc-iron layered double hydroxide (Zn-Fe LDH) on graphene aerogel (GA) substrates through a facile, one-pot hydrothermal method is reported. The strong interaction and efficient electronic coupling between LDH and graphene substantially improve interfacial charge transport properties of the resulting nanocomposite and provide more available redox active sites for faradaic reactions. An LDH-GA||Ni(OH)2 device is also fabricated that results in greatly enhanced specific capacity (187 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), outstanding specific energy (147 Wh kg-1 ), excellent specific power (16.7 kW kg-1 ), along with 88% capacity retention after >10 000 cycles. This approach is further extended to Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries to demonstrate the feasibility of compositing with graphene for boosting the energy storage performance of other well-known Ni-based batteries. In contrast to conventional Ni-based batteries, the nearly flat voltage plateau followed by a sloping potential profile of the integrated supercapacitor-battery enables it to be discharged down to 0 V without being damaged. These findings provide new prospects for the design of high-performance and affordable superbatteries based on earth-abundant elements.

Abstract
AbstractVanadium sulfide (VS2) nanomaterials have been deposited on surface-modified stainless steel mesh (SMSSM) by facial hydrothermal method and subsequent effects of acidic etching on surface morphology and supercapacitive performance of the electrode were studied. The acid etching process improves the coupling interaction between the stainless steel mesh and active materials. The optimized 1% etched SMSSM with VS2 (1%/VS2) loaded electrode reveals the porous fine nanoparticles composed surface nanostructure. The prepared 1%/VS2 electrode exhibited an excellent areal capacitance of 45.83 mF/cm2, which is two times higher than that of a non-etched VS2 loaded electrode. These results showed that the acidic etching process significantly improved the surface nanostructure of the VS2 material that improved the capacitance of the SMSSM substrate.

Abstract
High surface area and large pore volume carbon materials having hierarchical nanoporous structure are required in high performance supercapacitors. Such nanoporous carbon materials can be fabricated from organic precursors with high carbon content, such as synthetic biomass or agricultural wastes containing cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Using recently developed unique concept of materials nanoarchitectonics, high performance porous carbons with controllable surface area, pore size distribution, and hierarchy in nanoporous structure can be fabricated. In this review, we will overview the recent trends and advancements on the synthetic methods for the production of hierarchical porous carbons with one- to three-dimensional network structure with superior performance in supercapacitors applications. We highlight the promising scope of accessing nanoporous graphitic carbon materials from: (i) direct conversion of single crystalline self-assembled fullerene nanomaterials and metal organic frameworks, (ii) hard- and soft-templating routes, and (iii) the direct carbonization and/or activation of biomass or agricultural wastes as non-templating routes. We discuss the appealing points of the different synthetic carbon sources and natural precursor raw-materials derived nanoporous carbon materials in supercapacitors applications.
