Abstract The integration of graphene and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has numerous implications across various domains, but fabricating such assemblies is often complicated time‐consuming. Herein, a one‐step preparation graphene‐MOF assembly presented by directly impregnating vertical (VG) arrays into the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) precursors under ambient conditions. This approach can effectively assemble multiple ZIFs, including ZIF‐7, ZIF‐8, ZIF‐67, resulting in their uniform...

Abstract Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries show extraordinary promise as a next‐generation battery technology due to their high theoretical energy density and the cost efficiency of sulfur. However, sluggish reaction kinetics, uncontrolled growth lithium sulfide (Li 2 S), substantial Li S oxidation barrier cause low sulfur utilization limited cycle life. Moreover, these drawbacks get exacerbated at current densities loadings. Here, heterostructured WO x /W C nanocatalyst synthesized via...

Electrosynthesis of peracetic acid (PAA) using in-situ generated H2O2 is a sustainable route to bypass the complexity and hazards current industrial production routes PAA. However, efficient electrochemical operation requires advancements in both electrocatalytic subsequent oxidation acetic acid. Herein, we report bifunctional carbon electrode for PAA electrosynthesis, which features metal-free catalysts structured on hierarchical array-like graphene substrate. With such three-dimensional...

Abstract The electrocatalytic recycling of waste nitrate (NO 3 RR) is a promising decentralized route for green ammonia synthesis. Nonetheless, it suffers from the competing hydrogen evolution reaction and insufficient proton supply in high pH conditions. Herein, iron oxide nanoparticles anchored on ZnO introduced as strategy to enhance water dissociation ability transfer rate, advancing NH 4 + production alkaline NO RR. Supported by set ex situ characterization, findings reveal reduction...
