Rational Construction of BiCuOSe and VGCFs@FeO Composite Electrodes for High-Performance Semi-Solid-State Asymmetric Supercapacitors.

Recently, supercapacitors (SCs) are extensively explored as effective energy storage devices. Specifically, asymmetric SCs are being developed to enhance energy density using suitable materials with favorable nanostructures. This study describes the construction of a bismuth copper selenite (BCS-200) working electrode with an ultrathin nanosheet (UTNS) architecture.

Multifunctional metal selenide-based materials synthesized a one-pot solvothermal approach for electrochemical energy storage and conversion applications.

Highly-efficient electroactive materials with distinctive electrochemical features, along with suitable strategies to prepare hetero-nanoarchitectures incorporating two or more transition metal selenides, are currently required to increase charge storage ability. Herein, a one-pot solvothermal approach is used to develop iron-nickel selenide spring-lawn-like architectures (FeNiSe SLAs) on nickel (Ni) foam. The porous Ni foam scaffold not only enables the uniform growth of FeNiSe SLAs but also serves as an Ni source.

Activation of -Propargyl Alcohol Benzaldehydes under Acetalization Conditions for Intramolecular Electrophile Intercepted Meyer-Schuster Rearrangement.

The reactivity of -propargyl alcohol benzaldehydes has been increased tremendously toward Brønsted acid-catalyzed intramolecular electrophile intercepted Meyer-Schuster (M-S) rearrangement under acetalization conditions using trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF). The in situ formed acetal transfers the methoxy group intramolecularly to generate the M-S intermediate in even less reactive substrates, and the formed oxocarbenium ion makes the carbonyl more electrophilic for an effective intramolecular trapping of the M-S intermediate to furnish the indanone derivatives.

Unraveling CoNiP-CoP 3D-on-1D Hybrid Nanoarchitecture for Long-Lasting Electrochemical Hybrid Cells and Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Evolving cost-effective transition metal phosphides (TMPs) using general approaches for energy storage is pivotal but challenging. Besides, the absence of noble metals and high electrocatalytic activity of TMPs allow their applicability as catalysts in oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, CoNiP-CoP (CNP-CP) composite is in situ deposited on carbon fabric by a one-step hydrothermal technique.

Prussian-Blue Analogue-Derived Hollow Structured Co S /CuS /NiS Nanocubes as an Advanced Battery-Type Electrode Material for High-Performance Hybrid Supercapacitors.

The facile and cost-effective fabrication of hybrid nanostructures comprised of hollow mixed metallic chalcogenides has attracted growing interest in the development of high-performance energy storage devices. Herein, multi-component (nickel-cobalt-copper-sulfides/selenides (NCCS/NCCSe)) hollow nanocubes (HNCs) are prepared via a single-step sulfurization/selenization process. The NCCS material shows interior HNCs, and the NCCSe material exhibits slightly formed porous cubes.
