The obtained composite film is a viable alternate electrode material, non-toxic, chemical inert, not volatile, using to construct modified electrode. The new type modified electrode has both of unique properties of MWNT and poly acridine orange （POAO）, can provide good sensitivity, low limits of detection, good response precision, and superb response stability.展开更多

However, in the electrochemical sodium storage process, the bond evolution mechanism remains an elusive topic. Herein, we develop a one-step annealing strategy to achieve a high covalent sulfur-carbon bridged hybrid(HCSC)utilizing phenylphosphinic acid as the carbon-source/catalyst and sodium sulfate as the sulfur-precursor/salt template, in which the sulfur mainly exists in the forms of C–S–C and C–S–S–C. Notably, most of the bridge bonds are electrochemically cleaved when the cycling voltage is lower than0.6 V versus Na/Na+, leading to the appearance of two visible redox peaks in the following cyclic voltammogram(CV) tests.The in-situ and ex-situ characterizations demonstrate that S^2- is formed in the reduction process and the carbon skeleton is concomitantly and irreversibly isomerized. Thus, the cleaved sulfur and isomerized carbon could jointly contribute to the sodium storage in 0.01–3.0 V. In a Na-S battery system, the activated HCSC in cut off voltage window of 0.6–2.8 V achieves a high reversible capacity(770 mA h g^-1 at 300 mA g^-1). This insight reveals the charge storage mechanism of sulfur-carbon bridged hybrid and provides an improved enlightenment on the interfacial chemistry of electrode materials.展开更多
