Herein, a series of three dimensional ordered hierarchically porous carbon(3D OHPC) materials with micro/meso/macropores are designed and synthesized for Li-Se battery. The porous structure is tuned by following the concept of the generalized Murray’s law to facilitate the mass diffusion and reduce ion transport resistance.The optimized 3D Se/OHPC cathode exhibits a very high 2 nd discharge capacity of 651 m Ah/g and retains 361 m Ah/g after 200 cycles at 0.2 C. Even at a high current rate of 5 C, the battery still shows a discharge capacity as high as 155 m Ah/g. The improved electrochemical performance is attributed to the synergy effect of the interconnected and well-designed micro, meso and macroporosity while shortened ions diffusion pathways of such Murray materials accelerate its ionic and electronic conductivities leading to the enhanced electrochemical reaction. The diffusivity coefficient in Se/OHPC can reach a very high value of 1.3 × 10^(-11)cm^(2)/s, much higher than those in single pore size carbon hosts. Their effective volume expansion accommodation capability and reduced dissolution of polyselenides ensure the high stability of the battery. This work, for the first time, established the clear relationship between textural properties of cathode materials and their performance and demonstrates that the concept of the generalized Murray’s law can be used as efficient guidance for the rational design and synthesis of advanced hierarchically porous materials and the great potential of 3D OHPC materials as a practical high performance cathode material for Li-Se batteries.展开更多

Here, a bioinspired 3D urchin-like N-doped Murray's carbon nanostructure(N-MCN) with interconnected micro-meso-macroporous structure and a polydopamine protection shell has been designed as an effective sulfur host for high-performance Li-S batteries. The advanced 3D hierarchically porous framework with the characteristics of the generalized Murray's law largely improves electrolyte diffusion, facilitates electrons/ions transfer and provides strong chemisorption for active species, leading to the synergistic structural and chemical confinement of polysulfides. As a result,the obtained P@S/N-MCN electrode with high areal sulfur loading demonstrates high capacity at high current densities after long cycles. This work reveals that following the generalized Murray's law is feasible to design high-performance sulfur cathode materials for potentially practical Li-S battery applications.展开更多

TiO_(2) based photocatalysts with high chemical stability and excellent photocatalytic properties have great potential for solar-to-H_(2) conversion. To conquer the challenges of the large band-gap and rapid recombination of photo generated electron-holepairs in TiO_(2), non-metal doping turns out to be economic, facile, and effective on boosting the visible light activity. The localized defect states such as oxygen vacancy and Ti^(3+) generated by non-metal doping are located in the band-gap of TiO_(2), which result in the reduction of band-gap, thus a red-shift of the absorption edge. The hetero doping atoms such as B^(3+), I^(7+), S^(4+)/S^(6+), P^(5+) can also act as electron donors or trap sites which facilitate the charge carrier separation and suppress the recombination of electron-hole pairs. In this comprehensive review, we present the most recent advances on non-metal doped TiO_(2) photocatalysts in terms of fundamental aspects, origin of visible light activity and the PC / PEC behaviours for water splitting. In particular, the characteristics of different non-metal elements (N, C, B, S, P, Halogens) as dopants are discussed in details focusing on the synthesis approaches, characterization as well as the efficiency of PC and PEC water splitting. The present review aims at guiding the readers who want quick access to helpful information about how to efficiently improve the performance of photocatalysts by simple doping strategies and could stimulate new intuitive into the new doping strategies.展开更多

文摘Owing to their high luminous efficiency and tunable emission in both red light and far-red light regions,Mn^(4+)ion-activated phosphors have appealed significant interest in photoelectric and energy conversion devices such as white light emitting diode(W-LED),plant cultivation LED,and temperature thermometer.Up to now,Mn^(4+)has been widely introduced into the lattices of various inorganic hosts for brightly redemitting phosphors.However,how to correlate the structure-activity relationship between host framework,luminescence property,and photoelectric device is urgently demanded.In this review,we thoroughly summarize the recent advances of Mn^(4+)doped phosphors.Meanwhile,several strategies like co-doping and defect passivation for improving Mn^(4+)emission are also discussed.Most importantly,the relationship between the protocols for tailoring the structures of Mn^(4+)doped phosphors,increased luminescence performance,and the targeted devices with efficient photoelectric and energy conversion efficiency is deeply correlated.Finally,the challenges and perspectives of Mn^(4+)doped phosphors for practical applications are anticipated.We cordially anticipate that this review can deliver a deep comprehension of not only Mn^(4+)luminescence mechanism but also the crystal structure tailoring strategy of phosphors,so as to spur innovative thoughts in designing advanced phosphors and deepening the applications.

文摘Commercial application of lithium-sulfur(Li-S) batteries is hindered by the insulating nature of sulfur and the dissolution of polysulfides. Here, a bioinspired 3D urchin-like N-doped Murray's carbon nanostructure(N-MCN) with interconnected micro-meso-macroporous structure and a polydopamine protection shell has been designed as an effective sulfur host for high-performance Li-S batteries. The advanced 3D hierarchically porous framework with the characteristics of the generalized Murray's law largely improves electrolyte diffusion, facilitates electrons/ions transfer and provides strong chemisorption for active species, leading to the synergistic structural and chemical confinement of polysulfides. As a result,the obtained P@S/N-MCN electrode with high areal sulfur loading demonstrates high capacity at high current densities after long cycles. This work reveals that following the generalized Murray's law is feasible to design high-performance sulfur cathode materials for potentially practical Li-S battery applications.

文摘Photocatalytic (PC) / Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting under solar light irradiation is considered as a prospective technique to support the sustainable and renewable H_(2) economy and to reach the ultime goal of carbon neutral. TiO_(2) based photocatalysts with high chemical stability and excellent photocatalytic properties have great potential for solar-to-H_(2) conversion. To conquer the challenges of the large band-gap and rapid recombination of photo generated electron-holepairs in TiO_(2), non-metal doping turns out to be economic, facile, and effective on boosting the visible light activity. The localized defect states such as oxygen vacancy and Ti^(3+) generated by non-metal doping are located in the band-gap of TiO_(2), which result in the reduction of band-gap, thus a red-shift of the absorption edge. The hetero doping atoms such as B^(3+), I^(7+), S^(4+)/S^(6+), P^(5+) can also act as electron donors or trap sites which facilitate the charge carrier separation and suppress the recombination of electron-hole pairs. In this comprehensive review, we present the most recent advances on non-metal doped TiO_(2) photocatalysts in terms of fundamental aspects, origin of visible light activity and the PC / PEC behaviours for water splitting. In particular, the characteristics of different non-metal elements (N, C, B, S, P, Halogens) as dopants are discussed in details focusing on the synthesis approaches, characterization as well as the efficiency of PC and PEC water splitting. The present review aims at guiding the readers who want quick access to helpful information about how to efficiently improve the performance of photocatalysts by simple doping strategies and could stimulate new intuitive into the new doping strategies.

文摘Graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))has attracted great interest in photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis.However,their poor hydrophilicity poses a great challenge for their applications in aqueous environment.Here,we demonstrate synthesis of a hydrophilic bi-functional hierarchical architecture by the assembly of B-doped g-C_(3)N_(4)nanoplatelets.Such hierarchical B-doped g-C_(3)N_(4)material enables full utilization of their highly enhanced visible light absorption and photogenerated carrier separation in aqueous medium,leading to an excellent photocatalytic H_(2)O_(2)production rate of 4240.3μM g^(-1)h^(-1),2.84,2.64 and 2.13 times higher than that of the bulk g-C_(3)N_(4),g-C_(3)N_(4)nanoplatelets and bulk B doped g-C_(3)N_(4),respectively.Photoanodes based on these hierarchical architectures can generate an unprecedented photocurrent density of 1.72 m A cm^(-2)at 1.23 V under AM 1.5 G illumination for photoelectrochemical water splitting.This work makes a fundamental improvement towards large-scale exploitation of highly active,hydrophilic and stable metal-free g-C_(3)N_(4)photocatalysts for various practical applications.

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)are very promising for large-scale electrochemical energy storage.However,dissolution and shuttling of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)intermediates have severely affected their overall electrochemical properties and limited their practical application.Designing polar cathode hosts that can effectively bind LiPSs and simultaneously promote their redox conversion is crucial for realizing high-performance LSBs.Herein,we report bronze TiO2(TiO2-B)nanosheets(~5 nm in thickness)chemically bonded with carbon as a novel multifunctional cathode host for advanced LSBs.Experimental observation and first-principles density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that the TiO2-B with exposed(100)plane and Ti^3+ions exhibited high chemical affinity toward polysulfides and effectively confined them at surface.Meantime,Ti^3+ions and interface coupling with carbon promoted electronic conductivity of the composite cathode,leading to enhanced redox conversion kinetics of LiPSs during charge/discharge.Consequently,the as-assembled TiO2-B/S cathode manifested high capacity(1165 mAh/g at 0.2 C),excellent rate capability(244 mAh/g at 5 C)and outstanding cyclability(572 mAh/g over 500cycles at 0.2 C).This work sheds insights on rational design and fabrication of novel functional electrode materials for beyond Li-ion batteries.

文摘Supercapacitor-like Na-ion batteries have attracted much attention due to the high energy density of batteries and power density of capacitors.Titanium dioxide(TiO_(2)),is a promising anode material.Its performance is however seriously hindered by its low electrical conductivity and the sluggish diffusion of sodium ions(Na^(+))in the TiO_(2)matrix.Herein,this work combines porous TiO_(2)nanocubes with carbon nanotubes(CNTs)to enhance the electrical conductivity and accelerate Na^(+)diffusivity for Na-ion batteries(NIBs).In this composite,an interwoven scaffolded TiO_(2)/CNTs framework is formed to provide abundant channels and shorter diffusion pathways for electrons and ions.The in-situ X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry confirm the low strain and superior transport kinetics in Na^(+)intercalation/extraction processes.In addition,the chemically bonded TiO_(2)/CNTs hybrid provides a more feasible channel for Na^(+)insertion/extraction with a much lower energy barrier.Consequently,the TiO_(2)/CNTs composite exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with a capacity of 223.4 m Ah g^(-1)at 1 C and a capacity of 142.8 m Ah g^(-1)at 10 C(3.35 A g^(-1)).The work here reveals that the combination of active materials with CNTs can largely improve the utilization efficiency and enhance their sodium storage.

文摘Photocatalytic conversion of biomass is considered an effective,clean,and environmentally friendly route to obtain high-valued chemicals and hydrogen.However,the limited conversion efficiency and poor selectivity are still the main bottlenecks for photocatalytic biomass conversion.Herein,we report the highly selective photocatalytic conversion of glucose solution on holosymmetrically spherical three-dimensionally ordered macroporous TiO_(2)-CdSe heterojunction photonic crystal structure(s-TCS).The obtained s-TCS photocatalysts show excellent stability and strong light harvesting,uniform mass diffusion and exchange,and efficient photogenerated electrons/holes separation and utilization.The optimized s-TCS-4 photocatalyst displays the highest photocatalytic performance for glucose oxidation and hydrogen production.The glucose conversion,lactic acid selectivity,and yield on s-TCS-4 are about 95.9%,94.3%,and 96.4%,respectively.The photocatalytic production of lactic acid for s-TCS-4(18.5 g/L)is 2.3 times higher than the pure spherical TiO_(2) photonic crystal without CdSe(s-TiO_(2),8.1 g/L),and the hydrogen production rate of s-TCS-4 is 9.4 times that of s-TiO_(2).For the first time,we reveal that the photocatalytic conversion of glucose to lactic acid is a third-order and four-electron-involved reaction.This work could shed some new light on the efficient photocatalysis conversion of biomass to highly value-added products with high selectivity and yield,and simultaneously sustainable hydrogen evolution.

文摘Hierarchical single-crystal ZSM-5 zeolites with different Si/Al ratios(Hier-ZSM-5-x,where x=50,100,150 and 200)were synthesized using an ordered mesoporous carbon-silica composite as hard template.Hier-ZSM-5-x exhibits improved mass transport properties,excellent mechanical and hydrothermal stability,and higher catalytic activity than commercial bulk zeolites in the benzyl alcohol self-etherification reaction.Results show that a decrease in the Si/Al ratio in hierarchical single-crystal ZSM-5 zeolites leads to a significant increase in the acidity and the density of micropores,which increases the final catalytic conversion.The effect of porous hierarchy on the diffusion of active sites and the final catalytic activity was also studied by comparing the catalytic conversion after selectively designed poisoned acid sites.These poisoned Hier-ZSM-5-x shows much higher catalytic conversion than the poisoned commercial ZSM-5 zeolite,which indicates that the numerous intracrystalline mesopores significantly reduce the diffusion path of the reactant,leading to the faster diffusion inside the zeolite to contact with the acid sites in the micropores predominating in ZSM-5 zeolites.This study can be extended to develop a series of hierarchical single-crystal zeolites with expected catalytic performance.

文摘Electron donors are widely exploited in visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen production.As a typical electron donor pair and often the first choice for hydrogen production,the sodium sulfide-sodium sulfite pair has been extensively used.However,the resultant thiosulfate ions consume the photogenerated electrons to form an undesirable pseudocyclic electron transfer pathway during the photocatalytic process,strongly limiting the solar energy conversion efficiency.Here,we report novel and bioinspired electron donor pairs offering a noncyclic electron transfer pathway that provides more electrons without the consumption of the photogenerated electrons.Compared to the state-of-the-art electron donor pair Na_(2)S-Na_(2)SO_(3),these novel Na_(2)S-NaH_(2)PO_(2)and Na_(2)S-NaNO_(2)electron donor pairs enable an unprecedented enhancement of up to 370%and 140%for average photocatalytic H_(2)production over commercial CdS nanoparticles,and they are versatile for a large series of photocatalysts for visible-light water splitting.The discovery of these novel electron donor pairs can lead to a revolution in photocatalysis and is of great significance for industrial visible-light-driven H_(2)production.
