Current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) suffer from poor cycling and rate performance at low temperature (LT), which prohibit their applications in cold climate area winter. As decreases, the Li+ desolvation energy electrode polarization increase, lead to Li dendrite formation battery fading. Herein, we report a new material surface engineering strategy enhance Li-storage LT MXene-(Ti3C2Tx) by substituting O selectively for F termination. The pristine MXene was processed calculation 300 °C...

Catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is an effective approach to producing clean fuels, but this process expensive, in addition the low efficiency of catalysts. Thus, photothermal can effectively utilize solar energy for CH4 production. Metal–organic framework (MOF) derived materials with a controlled structure and morphology are promising give high number active sites photostability thermal catalytic reactions. For first time, novel heterostructure catalyst was synthesized using facile situ grow...

Abstract Two different lengths of twistacenes, namely hexatwistacene and decatwistacene, induced by steric hindrance between imide groups neighboring annulated benzene rings, were synthesized bottom‐up synthesis palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki cross‐coupling C−H activation. Single‐crystal X‐ray analyses revealed that which is the longest twistacene reported, exhibits an astonishing overall end‐to‐end torsion angle about 170°, largest reported. Both twistacenes have enhanced solubility stability...

Thermodynamic analysis for methanol-phenol mixture steam reforming (M-PSR) H2 production together with experimental evaluation has been carried out in this study. Firstly, a number of possible reactions were evaluated using Gibbs free energy and equilibrium rate constants to determine its feasibility nature over the temperature 100 1200°C. Then, minimization method was used carry thermodynamic M-PSR system. A comprehensive study effect different parameters on product distribution....
