Titanium carbide MXene quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized using an effective fluorine-free method as a biocompatible and highly efficient nanoagent for photothermal therapy (PTT) applications. In contrast to the traditional, hazardous time-consuming process of HF pretreatment, our is safe simple. More importantly, abundant Al oxoanions found be modified on QD surface by method, which endowed QDs with strong broad absorption in NIR region. As result, as-prepared exhibited extinction...

The development of abundant and cheap electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attracted increasing attention over recent years. However, to achieve low-cost HER electrocatalysis, especially in alkaline media, is still a big challenge due sluggish water dissociation kinetics as well poor long-term stability catalysts. In this paper we report design synthesis two-dimensional (2D) MoS2 confined Co(OH)2 nanoparticle electrocatalyst, which accelerates exhibits good...

Abstract Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based polymer nanocomposites with high‐permittivity nanofillers exhibit outstanding dielectric energy storage performance due to their high permittivities and breakdown strength. However, discharge efficiency is relatively low (usually lower than 70%), which limits practical applications. Here, a novel interpenetrating gradient structure are designed demonstrated by cofilling PVDF matrix barium zirconate titanate nanofibers hexagonal boron nitride...

Abstract Advancements in single-atom-based catalysts are crucial for enhancing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance while reducing precious metal usage. A comprehensive understanding of underlying mechanisms will expedite this progress further. Here we report Ir single atoms coordinated out-of-plane with dimethylimidazole (MI) on CoFe hydroxide (Ir 1 /(Co,Fe)-OH/MI). This /(Co,Fe)-OH/MI catalyst, which was prepared using a simple immersion method, delivers ultralow overpotentials 179...

Transition metal borides are considered as promising electrocatalysts for water splitting due to their metallic conductivity and good durability. However, the currently reported monometallic noncrystalline multimetallic only show generic monofunctional catalytic activity. In this work, authors design successfully synthesize highly crystalline ternary borides, Mo2 NiB2 , via a facile solid-state reaction from pure elemental powders. The as-synthesized exhibits very low overpotentials both...
