Abstract As the lightest member of transition metal dichalcogenides, 2D titanium disulfide (2D TiS 2 ) nanosheets are attractive for energy storage and conversion. However, reliable controllable synthesis single‐ to few‐layered is challenging due strong tendency stacking oxidation ultrathin nanosheets. This study reports first time successful conversion Ti 3 C T x MXene sandwich‐like confined by N, S co‐doped porous carbon (TiS @NSC) via an in situ polydopamine‐assisted sulfuration process....
Lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted tremendous interest due to their high theoretical energy density and the earth‐abundant sulfur feedstock. Multifarious characterization techniques been applied investigate electrochemical mechanisms structure–property relationships in LSBs. Among them, cyclic voltammetry (CV), a basic tool, can provide indispensable thermodynamic kinetics information of redox processes. However, CV analysis most LSB studies is sketchy—providing some well‐known...
Different classes of coating materials with their functional groups and mechanism interaction PSs.
Phase separation in conversion/alloying-based anodes easily causes crystal disintegration and leads to bad cycling performance. Tin monophosphide (SnP) is an excellent anode material for sodium ion battery due its unique three-dimensional crystallographic layered structure. In this work, we report the situ growth of ultrafine SnP nanocrystals within Ti3C2Tx MXene interlayers. The framework used as a conductive matrix provide high ionic/electrical transfer paths reduce Na+ diffusion barrier...
The development of cost-effective and long-life rechargeable aluminium ion batteries (AIBs) shows promising prospects for sustainable energy storage applications. Here, we report a heteroatom π-conjugated polymer featuring synergistic C=O C=N active centres as new cathode material in AIBs using low-cost AlCl
With a stacking-layered architecture, the bilayer two-dimensional-three-dimensional (2D-3D) perovskite heterostructure (PHS) not only eliminates surface defects but also protects 3D matrix from external stimuli. However, these 2D-3D PHSs suffer impaired interfacial charge carrier transport due to relatively insulating 2D fragments with random phase distribution. Over past decade, substantial efforts have been devoted pioneering molecular and structural designs of interlayers for improving...
Developing a cost-effective, versatile, biodegradable, and biobased membrane is crucial for the sustainable treatment of complex wastewater. In this work, multifunctional was fabricated from polydopamine-modified waste paper (WP@PDA) hydrothermal carbonized chitosan (HTCC), through simple vacuum filtration. This demonstrated high efficiency in separating oil-in-water emulsions allowed situ dye removal under controllable pH conditions. The results showed that as-prepared WP@PDA/HTCC exhibited...
Abstract 2D non‐layered materials (2DNLMs) featuring massive undercoordinated surface atoms and obvious lattice distortion have shown great promise in catalytic/electrocatalytic applications, but their controllable synthesis remains challenging. Here, a new type of ultrathin carbon‐wrapped titanium nitride nanomesh (TiN NM@C) is prepared using rationally designed nano‐confinement topochemical conversion strategy. The geometry with well‐distributed pores offers TiN NM@C plentiful exposed...
Abstract Rechargeable lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) are of great interest in the field energy storage due to their favorable operational characteristics, for example, high theoretical density and low cost. However, LSBs limited by long‐term degradation, caused dissolution intermediate lithium polysulfide phases. Further improvement requires an in‐depth understanding underlying redox reactions active‐material degradation mechanisms. Advanced characterization techniques, especially situ/in...
To realize practical lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) with long cycling life, designing cathode hosts a high specific surface area (SSA) is recognized as an efficient way to trap the soluble polysulfides. However, it also blamed for diminishing volumetric energy density and being susceptible side reactions. Herein, polyethylenimine intercalated graphite oxide (PEI-GO) low SSA of 4.6 m2 g-1 enlarged interlayer spacing 13 Å proposed superior sulfur host, which enables homogeneous distribution...
Abstract Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) are promising hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts, but the unsatisfying activity and durability at industrial‐scale current densities hinder their application. Downsizing TMPs to nanoclusters can substantially enhance activity; yet, high surface free energy tends initiate agglomeration thereby limiting service life. Herein, a molecular engineering strategy synthesize robust sulfur‐doped RuP 2 (S‐RuP ) nanoclusters, which continuously...
The activation mechanism of Li-rich cathode has been discussed for many years, yet there is still debate on different theories. Potassium doping can assist the investigation through its unique function in terms blocking TM migration during activation. K-doping works by occupying Li sites even after extracted, increasing stability transition metals from migrating into these sites, which help us distinguish pathway We use in-situ XRD to show that significantly lowers rate metal initial...
Controlling anionic redox is the crucial factor for commercialisation of Li‐Rich cathodes, being required to achieve high practical specific capacity >250 mAh/g long‐term cycling. However, lack generalizable understanding activation and mechanisms complicates rational design robust Li‐rich cathodes towards applications. We find that physical evolution during only weakly correlated with performance, structural change seemingly triggered by low‐voltage irreversible redox. Structural...
