Abstract Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a promising light-harvesting module for artificial photosynthesis and photovoltaics. For efficient generation of free charge carriers, the donor–acceptor (D-A) conjugation has been adopted two-dimensional (2D) COFs recently. In 2D D-A COFs, photoexcitation would generate polaron pair, which is precursor to carriers lower binding energy than an exciton. Although character primary excitation species key factor in determining...
Selection of an appropriate electrolyte medium is essential for successful NH3 electro-synthesis at low temperature and pressure. In this study, 2-propanol was employed as its effectiveness in the electro-reduction N2 to under ambient conditions evaluated. synthesis faradaic efficiency using a mixture 2-propanol/water (9:1, v/v) surpassed those when electrosynthesis carried out solely water. The concentration H2SO4 applied current density influenced 2-propanol-based system, optimal led...

Graphite is used as a state-of-the-art anode in commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its highly reversible storage capability and low electrode potential. However, graphite anodes exhibit sluggish diffusion kinetics for intercalation/deintercalation, thus limiting the rate of LIBs. In order determine coefficient anodes, we employed galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) quantify quasi-equilibrium open circuit potential function concentration electrode. Three plateaus...
Abstract Lithium‐mediated reduction of dinitrogen is a promising method to evade electron‐stealing hydrogen evolution, critical challenge which limits faradaic efficiency (FE) and thus hinders the success traditional protic‐solvent‐based ammonia electro‐synthesis. A viable implementation lithium‐mediated pathway using lithium‐ion conducting glass ceramics involves i) lithium deposition, ii) nitridation, iii) formation. Ammonia was successfully synthesized from molecular nitrogen water,...
Nanostructured silicon (Si) is useful in many applications and has typically been synthesized by bottom-up colloid-based solution processes or top-down gas phase reactions at high temperatures. These methods, however, suffer from toxic precursors, low yields, impractical processing conditions (i.e., pressure). The magnesiothermic reduction of oxide (SiO2) also introduced as an alternative method. Here, we demonstrate the SiO2 a simple milling process using lab-scale planetary-ball mill...
Microsupercapacitors are microscale rechargeable energy storage devices that can support or replace batteries in ultrasmall electronic devices. Although the use of high-capacitive, two-dimensional materials is promising, other methods needed to reach a high capacitance and density, which cannot be achieved by fully utilizing surface electrode materials. Here, we introduce an effective strategy control geometry interdigital microelectrodes for achieving ultrahigh edge effect in-plane...
