Textured Asymmetric Membrane Electrode Assemblies of Piezoelectric Phosphorene and Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)MXene Heterostructures for Enhanced Electrochemical Stability and Kinetics in LIBs

Black phosphorus with a superior theoretical capacity(2596 mAh g^(-1))and high conductivity is regarded as one of the powerful candidates for lithium-ion battery(LIB)anode materials,whereas the severe volume expansion and sluggish kinetics still impede its applications in LIBs.By contrast,the exfoliated two-dimensional phosphorene owns negligible volume variation,and its intrinsic piezoelectricity is considered to be beneficial to the Li-ion transfer kinetics,while its positive influence has not been discussed yet.Herein,a phosphorene/MXene heterostructure-textured nanopiezocomposite is proposed with even phosphorene distribution and enhanced piezo-electrochemical coupling as an applicable free-standing asymmetric membrane electrode beyond the skin effect for enhanced Li-ion storage.The experimental and simulation analysis reveals that the embedded phosphorene nanosheets not only provide abundant active sites for Li-ions,but also endow the nanocomposite with favorable piezoelectricity,thus promoting the Li-ion transfer kinetics by generating the piezoelectric field serving as an extra accelerator.By waltzing with the MXene framework,the optimized electrode exhibits enhanced kinetics and stability,achieving stable cycling performances for 1,000 cycles at 2 A g^(-1),and delivering a high reversible capacity of 524 m Ah g^(-1)at-20℃,indicating the positive influence of the structural merits of self-assembled nanopiezocomposites on promoting stability and kinetics.

Tuning dual-atom mediator toward high-rate bidirectional polysulfide conversion in Li-S batteries

An emerging practice in the realm of Li-S batteries lies in the employment of single-atom catalysts(SACs)as effective mediators to promote polysulfide conversion,but monometallic SACs affording isolated geometric dispersion and sole electronic configuration limit the catalytic benefits and curtail the cell performance.Here,we propose a class of dual-atom catalytic moieties comprising hetero-or homo-atomic pairs anchored on N-doped graphene(NG)to unlock the liquid–solid redox puzzle of sulfur,readily realizing Li-S full cell under high-rate-charging conditions.As for Fe-Ni-NG,in-depth experimental and theoretical analysis reveal that the hetero-atomic orbital coupling leads to altered energy levels,unique electronic structures,and varied Fe oxidation states in comparison with homo-atomic structures(FeFe-NG or Ni-Ni-NG).This would weaken the bonding energy of polysulfide intermediates and thus enable facile electrochemical kinetics to gain rapid liquid-solid Li_(2)S_(4)?Li_(2)S conversion.Encouragingly,a Li-S battery based on the S@Fe-Ni-NG cathode demonstrates unprecedented fast-charging capability,documenting impressive rate performance(542.7 mA h g^(-1)at 10.0 C)and favorable cyclic stability(a capacity decay of 0.016%per cycle over 3000 cycles at 10.0 C).This finding offers insights to the rational design and application of dual-atom mediators for Li-S batteries.

Developing high-performance anodes for potassium ion batteries(KIBs) is of paramount significance but remains challenging.In the normal sense,electrode materials are prepared by ubiquitous wet chemical routes,which otherwise might not be versatile enough to create desired heterostructures and/or form clean interfacial areas for fast transport of K-ions and electrons.Along this line,rate capability/cycling stability of resulting KIBs are greatly handicapped.Herein we present an all-chemical vapor deposition approach to harness the direct synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene(NG)/rhenium diselenide(ReSe_2)hybrids over three-dimensional MXene supports as superior heterostructure anode material for KIBs.In such an innovative design,1 T'-ReSe2 nanoparticles are sandwiched in between the NG coatings and MXene frameworks via strong interfacial interactions,thereby affording facile K~+ diffusion,enhancing overall conductivity,boosting high-power performance and reinforcing structural stability of electrodes.Thus-constructed anode delivers an excellent rate performance of 138 mAh g^(-1) at 10.0 A g^(-1) and a high reversible capacity of 90 mAh g^(-1) at 5 A g^(-1) after 300 cycles.Furthermore,the potassium storage mechanism has been systematically probed by advanced in situlex situ characterization techniques in combination with first principles computations.

Transition metal chalcogenides have nowadays garnered burgeoning interest owing to their fascinating electronic and catalytic properties,thus possessing great implications for energy conversion and storage applications.In this regard,their controllable synthesis in a large scale at low cost has readily become a focus of research.Herein we report diatomite-template generic and scalable production of VS2 and other transition metal sulfides targeting emerging energy conversion and storage applications.The conformal growth of VS2over diatomite template would endow them with defect-abundant features.Throughout detailed experimental investigation in combination with theoretical simulation,we reveal that the enriched active sites/sulfur vacancies of thus-derived VS2 architectures would pose positive impacts on the catalytic performance such in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions.We further show that the favorable electrical conductivity and highly exposed sites of VS2 hold promise for serving as sulfur host in the realm of Li-S batteries.Our work offers new insights into the templated and customized synthesis of defect-rich sulfides in a scalable fashion to benefit multifunctional energy applications.

Designing high-performance electrodes via 3D printing for advanced energy storage is appealing but remains challenging.In normal cases,light-weight carbonaceous materials harnessing excellent electrical conductivity have served as electrode candidates.However,they struggle with undermined areal and volumetric energy density of supercapacitor devices,thereby greatly impeding the practical applications.Herein,we demonstrate the in situ coupling of NiCoP bimetallic phosphide and Ti3C2 MXene to build up heavy NCPM electrodes affording tunable mass loading throughout 3D printing technology.The resolution of prints reaches 50μm and the thickness of device electrodes is ca.4 mm.Thus-printed electrode possessing robust open framework synergizes favorable capacitance of NiCoP and excellent conductivity of MXene,readily achieving a high areal and volumetric capacitance of 20 F cm^-2 and 137 F cm^-3 even at a high mass loading of^46.3 mg cm^-2.Accordingly,an asymmetric supercapacitor full cell assembled with 3D-printed NCPM as a positive electrode and 3D-printed activated carbon as a negative electrode harvests remarkable areal and volumetric energy density of 0.89 mWh cm^-2 and 2.2 mWh cm^-3,outperforming the most of state-of-the-art carbon-based supercapacitors.The present work is anticipated to offer a viable solution toward the customized construction of multifunctional architectures via 3D printing for high-energy-density energy storage systems.

Confining TiO_2 Nanotubes in PECVD-Enabled Graphene Capsules Toward Ultrafast K-Ion Storage: In Situ TEM/XRD Study and DFT Analysis

Titanium dioxide(TiO2) has gained burgeoning attention for potassium-ion storage because of its large theoretical capacity,wide availability,and environmental benignity.Nevertheless,the inherently poor conductivity gives rise to its sluggish reaction kinetics and inferior rate capability.Here,we report the direct graphene growth over TiO2 nanotubes by virtue of chemical vapor deposition.Such conformal graphene coatings effectively enhance the conductive environment and well accommodate the volume change of TiO2 upon potassiation/depotassiation.When paired with an activated carbon cathode,the graphene-armored TiO2 nanotubes allow the potassium-ion hybrid capacitor full cells to harvest an energy/power density of 81.2 Wh kg-1/3746.6 W kg-1.We further employ in situ transmis sion electron microscopy and ope rando X-ray diffraction to probe the potassium-ion storage behavior.This work offers a viable and versatile solution to the anode design and in situ probing of potassium storage technologies that is readily promising for practical applications.

Direct insight into sulfiphilicity-lithiophilicity design of bifunctional heteroatom-doped graphene mediator toward durable Li-S batteries

The practical applications of lithium-sulfur(Li-S)battery have been greatly hindered by the severe polysulfide shuttle at the cathode and rampant lithium dendrite growth at the anode.One of the effective solutions deals with concurrent management of both electrodes.Nevertheless,this direction remains in a nascent stage due to a lack of material selection and mechanism exploration.Herein,we devise a temperature-mediated direct chemical vapor deposition strategy to realize the controllable synthesis of three-dimensional boron/nitrogen dual-doped graphene(BNG)particulated architectures,which is employed as a light-weighted and multi-functional mediator for both electrodes in Li-S batteries.Benefiting from the“sulfiphilic”and“lithiophilic”features,the BNG modified separator not only enables boosted kinetics of polysulfide transformation to mitigate the shuttle effect but also endows uniform lithium deposition to suppress the dendritic growth.Theoretical calculations in combination with electro-kinetic tests and operando Raman analysis further elucidate the favorable sulfur and lithium electrochemistry of BNG at a molecular level.This work offers direct insight into the mediator design via controllable synthesis of graphene materials to tackle the fundamental challenges of Li-S batteries.

Hydrogen peroxide (H_(2)O_(2)) is a valuable chemical for a wide variety of applications. The environmentally friendly production route of the electrochemical reduction of O_(2)to H_(2)O_(2) has become an attractive alternative to the traditional anthraquinone process.

Key factors of electrode structure and device design are discussed. In addition,we highlight the promising co-production combination of this system with renewable energy or energy storage systems. This review can help introduce the potential of oxygen reduction electrochemical production of high-flux H_(2)O_(2) to the commercial market.

Among various anode candidates for potassium-ion batteries,carbonaceous materials have attracted significant attention due to their overwhelming advantages including cost-effectiveness and environmental benignity.However,the inferior specific capacity and the sluggish reaction kinetics hinder the further development in this realm.Herein,we report biomass templated synthesis of boron/oxygen heteroatom co-doped carbon particles(BO-CPs)via direct plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.With the combined advantages of abundant active sites,large accessible surface area,and functional groups,BO-CP anode exhibits high reversible specific capacity(426.5 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 A g^(-1))and excellent rate performance(166.5 mAh g^(-1)at 5 A g^(-1)).The K-ion storage mechanism is probed by operando Raman spectroscopy,ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy/electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,galvanostatic intermittent titration technique measurements,and theoretical simulations.The synergistic effect of boron and oxygen co-doping greatly facilitates the performance of carbon-based anode,wherein boron dopant improves the conductivity of carbon framework and the oxygen dopant affords ample active sites and thus harvests additional specific capacity.This work is anticipated to propel the development of high-performance anode materials for emerging energy storage devices.

A Natural Polymer Captor for Immobilizing Polysulfide/Polyselenide in Working Li-SeS_(2) Batteries

SeS_(2) has become a promising cathode material owing to its enhanced electrical conductivity over sulfur and higher theoretical specific capacity than selenium;however,the working Li-SeS_(2) batteries have to face the practical challenges from the severe shuttling of soluble dual intermediates of polysulfide and polyselenide,especially in high-SeS_(2)-loading cathodes.Herein,a natural organic polymer,Nicandra physaloides pectin(NPP),is proposed to serve as an effective polysulfide/polyselenide captor to address the shuttling issues.Informed by theoretical calculations,NPP is competent to provide a Lewis base-based strong binding interaction with polysulfides/polyselenides via forming lithium bonds,and it can be homogeneously deposited onto a three-dimensional double-carbon conductive scaffold to finally constitute a polysulfide/polyselenide-immobilizing interlayer.Operando spectroscopy analysis validates the enhanced polysulfide/polyselenide trapping and high conversion efficiency on the constructed interlayer,hence bestowing the Li-SeS_(2) cells with ultrahigh rate capability(448 mAh g^(−1)at 10 A g^(−1)),durable cycling lifespan(≈0.037%capacity attenuation rate per cycle),and high areal capacity(>6.5 mAh cm^(−2))at high SeS_(2) loading of 15.4 mg cm^(−2).Importantly,pouch cells assembled with this interlayer exhibit excellent flexibility,decent rate capability with relatively low electrolyte-to-capacity ratio,and stable cycling life even under a low electrolyte condition,promising a low-cost,viable design protocol toward practical Li-SeS_(2) batteries.

The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole dye in different solvents is investigated using ultrafast femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy combined with quantum chemical calculations.Conformational conversion from the syn-enol configuration to the keto configuration is proposed as the mechanism of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer.The duration of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer is measured to range from 50 fs to 200 fs in different solvents.This time is strongly dependent on the calculated energy gap between the N-S;and T-S;structures in the S;state.Along the proton transfer reaction coordinate,the vibrational relaxation process on the S;state potential surface is observed.The duration of the vibrational relaxation process is determined to be from8.7 ps to 35 ps dependent on the excess vibrational energy.

Distributive characteristics of projection from vestibular nuclei to nucleus raphe magnus in rats

BACKGROUND： Morphological studies have confirmed that vestibular nuclei accepts serotoninergic projections from nucleus raphe magnus, nucleus raphes pallidus, etc. But it is still unclear whether there is bi-directional association between vestibular nuclei and nucleus raphe magnus. OBJECTIVE： To observe the characteristics of projective fibers from vestibular nuclei to nucleus raphe magnus using tetramethyl rhodamine （TMR） in rats, so as to provide more sufficient morphological evidence of neural association from vestibular nuclei. DESIGN： An observational experiment. SETTING： Department of Anatomy （K.K. Leung Brain Research Center）, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. MATERIALS： Eighteen male SD rats of clean degree, weighing 250-280 g, were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. METHODS： The experiments were carried out in the laboratory of Department of Anatomy （K.K. Leung Brain Research Center）, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from September 2006 to January 2007. All the rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium, then according to the coordinates on the rat brain atlas, 0.1 μL TMR （100 g/L） was injected into nucleus raphes magnus via the tip of glass microtubule by means of microinjection. Seven days later, the rats were anesthetized, then perfused and fixed to remove brain, and then frozen coronal brain sections were prepared. The retrogradely labeled neurons in the injected and projected sites were observed under fluorescence microscope. Light filters with evoked wave length of 540-553 nm and emission wave length ≥ 1 580 nm were selected to observe the orange TMR-labeled neurons. All the sections were observed and counted under the fluorescence microscope. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Characteristics and number of retrogradely labeled neurons at different sites of nuclei. RESULTS： Totally 18 SD rats were enrolled, 9 of them were excluded due to the deviation of injected site, and the other 9 were involved in the final analysis of results. The concentrated region of TMR injection was mainly restricted to nucleus raphes magnus, and diffused to the surrounding area to different extents. There were obvious differences in the distributions of the labeled neurons among the subdivisions in vestibular nuclei, as well as the distributions of the labeled neurons at different sites in the same subdivision. The majority of the labeled neurons distributed in the rostral levels of medial vestibular nucleus and the lateral vestibular nucleus, while fewer labeled neurons were observed in superior vestibular nucleus. CONCLUSION： ① There might be bi-directional association between vestibular nucli and nucleus raphe magnus, suggesting that nucleus raphe magnus played a role in the transmission and processing of vestibular information. ② The projection from nucleus raphe magnus to vestibular nucleus has certain distributive characteristics in the region.

Carrier-free nanoprodrug for p53-mutated tumor therapy via concurrent delivery of zinc-manganese dual ions and ROS

Human cancers typically express a high level of tumor-promoting mutant p53 protein(Mutp53)with a minimal level of tumor-suppressing wild-type p53 protein(WTp53).In this regard,inducing Mutp53 degradation while activating WTp53 is a viable strategy for precise anti-tumor therapy.Herein,a new carrier-free nanoprodrug(i.e.,Mn-ZnO_(2)nanoparticles)was developed for concurrent delivery of dual Zn-Mn ions and reactive oxygen species(ROS)within tumor to regulate the p53 protein for high anti-tumor efficacy.In response to the mild tumor acidic environment,the released Zn^(2+)and H_(2)O_(2)from Mn-ZnO_(2)NPs induced ubiquitination-mediated proteasomal degradation of Mutp53,while the liberative Mn^(2+)and increased ROS level activated the ATM-p53-Bax pathway to elevate WTp53 level.Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that pH-responsive decomposition of Mn-ZnO2 NPs could effectively elevate the intracellular dual Zn-Mn ions and ROS level and subsequently generate the cytotoxic hydroxyl radical(·OH)through the Fenton-like reaction.With the integration of multiple functions(i.e.,carrier-free ion and ROS delivery,tumor accumulation,p53 protein modulation,toxic·OH generation,and pH-activated MRI contrast)in a single nanosystem,Mn-ZnO_(2)NPs demonstrate its superiority as a promising nanotherapeutics for p53-mutated tumor therapy.

A review in rational design of graphene toward advanced Li-S batteries

For lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries,the problems of polysulfides shuttle effect,slow dynamics of sulfur species and growth of lithium dendrite during charge/discharge processes have greatly impeded its practical development.Of core importance to advance the performances of Li-S batteries lies in the selection and design of novel materials with strong polysulfides adsorption ability and enhanced redox electrocatalytic behavior.Graphene,affording high electrical conductivity,superior carrier mobility,and large surface area,has presented great potentials in improving the performances of Li-S cells.However,the properties of intrinsic graphene are far enough to achieve the multiple management toward electrochemical catalysis of energy storage systems.In addition,a general and objective understanding of its role in Li-S systems is still lacking.Along this line,we summarize the design routes from three aspects,including defect engineering,dimension adjustment,and heterostructure modulation,to perfect the graphene properties.Thus-synthesized graphene materials are explored as multifunctional electrocatalysts targeting high-efficiency and long-lifespan Li-S batteries,based on which the regulating role of graphene is comprehensively analyzed.This project provides a perspective on the effective engineering management of graphene materials to boost Li-S chemistry,meanwhile promote the practical application process for graphene materials.

CO_(2)-promoted transfer-free growth of conformal graphene

Gaseous promotors have readily been adopted during the direct synthesis of graphene over insulators to enhance the growth quality and/or boost the growth rate.The understanding of the real functions of carbon-containing promotors has still remained elusive.In this study,we identify the critical roles of a representative CO_(2)promotor played in the direct growth of graphene.The comparative experimental trials validate CO_(2)as an effective modulator to decrease graphene nucleation density,improve growth kinetics,mitigate adlayer formation.The first-principles calculations illustrate that the generation of gas-phase OH species in CO_(2)-assisted system helps decrease the energy barriers of CH4 decomposition and carbon attachment to the growth front,which might be the key factor to allow high-quality direct growth.Such a CO_(2)-promoted strategy enables the conformal coating of graphene film over curved insulators,where the sheet resistance of grown graphene on quartz reaches as low as 1.26 kΩ·sq^(−1)at an optical transmittance of~95.8%.The fabricated endoscope lens based on our conformal graphene harvests an apoptosis of 82.8%for noninvasive thermal therapy.The work presented here is expected to motivate further investigations in the controllable growth of high-quality graphene on insulating substrates.
