Abstract To date, various stretchable conductors have been fabricated, but simultaneous realization of the transparency, high stretchability, electrical conductivity, self‐healing capability, and sensing property through a simple, fast, cost‐efficient approach is still challenging. Here, α‐lipoic acid (LA), naturally small biological molecule found in humans animals, used to fabricate transparent (>85%), highly (strain up 1100%), rehealable (mechanical healing efficiency 86%, 96%) ionic...
Abstract In-plane sulfur vacancies (Sv) in molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) were newly unveiled for CO hydrogenation to methanol, whereas edge Sv found facilitate methane formation. Thus, selective exposure and activation of basal plane is crucial methanol synthesis. Here, we report a mesoporous silica-encapsulated MoS catalysts with fullerene-like structure atomic copper (Cu / @SiO ). The main approach based on physically constrained topologic conversion dioxide (MoO within silica. spherical...
The rational design of high-performance, flexible, transparent, electrically conducting sensor attracts considerable attention. However, these designed devices predominantly utilize glass and plastic substrates, which are expensive not environmentally friendly. Here, novel transparent conductive woods (TCWs) were fabricated by using renewable wood substrates low-cost polymers. Polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDES), acrylic-acid (AA)/choline chloride (ChCl), used as backfilling agents...
Lignosulfonate, a waste by-product from the paper industry, was simply assembled with HfCl<sub>4</sub> to construct sustainable catalysts (Hf–LigS) for highly efficient reductive upgrading of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.
Using the disulfide bond and carboxyl group in molecular structure, α-lipoic acid was easily dissolved NaOH/urea solution could be used as a ternary solvent for dissolving cellulose. Through this platform, N, S dual-doped hierarchical porous carbon aerogels (NSHPAs) were successfully obtained via directly cellulose solvent, followed by gelling carbonization. Because fabricated materials had proper structure uniform heteroatom doping, their capacitance reach 329 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, 1647.5 mF...
The controlled creation, selective exposure, and activation of more basal planes while simultaneously minimizing the generation exposure edge sites are crucial for accelerating methanol synthesis from CO2 hydrogenation over MoS2 catalysts but remain a bottleneck. Here, we report facile method to fabricate heteronanotube with single-layer coaxially encapsulating carbon nanotubes (CNTs@MoS2) through host–guest chemistry. Inheriting long tubular structure CNTs, grown exhibit significantly than...
Cellulose-derived monolithic hierarchically porous MnO<sub>x</sub>/N-doped carbon aerogels exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the upgrading of lignocellulose-derived aldehydes.
Direct hydrogenation of CO2 into methanol is a promising strategy for reducing excessive dependence on fossil fuels and alleviating environmental concerns. Recently, in-plane sulfur vacancies in two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets were unveiled as efficient catalytic active sites synthesis from CO2, whereas edge facilitated to methane. Herein, we developed boxlike assemblages quasi-single-layer nanosheets, which edge-blocked by ZnS crystallites (denoted h-MoS2/ZnS) via metal–organic framework...
Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) is a very promising technology for the elimination of various refractory pollutants, but to activate dioxygen under mild conditions great challenge.
Mesoscale eddies with horizontal scales from tens to hundreds of kilometers are ubiquitous in the upper ocean, dominating ocean variability daily weekly time scales. Their turbulent nature causes great scientific challenges and computational burdens accurately forecasting short-term evolution states based on conventional physics-driven numerical models. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods have achieved competitive forecast performance greatly increased efficiency weather...
Carboxymethyl cellulose-derived Co nanocatalysts sheathed in N-doped graphene exhibited an excellent catalytic activity for base-free transfer hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin with formic acid.
Inspired by a wood-like multicomponent structure, an interface-reinforced method was developed to fabricate high-performance cellulose nanofibril (CNF)/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites. Holocellulose nanofibrils (HCNFs) with core–shell structure were first obtained from bagasse via mild delignification and mechanical defibration process. The well-preserved native hemicellulose as the amphiphilic shell of HCNFs could act binding agent, sizing even dispersing agent between CNTs....
Novel organic-inorganic hybrids were synthesized by using HfCl4 and organic ligand 1H-pyrrole-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) via a simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Hf-PDCA characterized various techniques, such as electron microscope, N2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Among them, the porous nitrogen-containing heterogeneous acid/base bifunctional catalyst was then applied to catalytic hydrogenation of furfural produce furfuryl alcohol (FFA). It exhibited...
