High-Voltage and Wide-Temperature Lithium Metal Batteries Enabled by Ultrathin MOF-Derived Solid Polymer Electrolytes with Modulated Ion Transport.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) of superior ionic conductivity, long-term cycling stability, and good interface compatibility are regarded as promising candidates to enable the practical applications of solid lithium metal batteries (SLMBs). Here, a mixed-matrix SPE (MMSE) with incorporated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and ionic liquid is prepared. The dissociation of Li salt in MMSE can be promoted effectively due to the introduction of MOF the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis, density functional theory calculation, and molecular dynamics simulation.

One-dimensional CdS@CdZnS@ZnS-Ni(OH) nano-hybrids with epitaxial heterointerfaces and spatially separated photo-redox sites enabling highly-efficient visible-light-driven H evolution.

Photocatalytic solar-to-fuel conversion has been of great interest in recent years. Nevertheless, the rational structural manipulation of photocatalysts toward an efficient H2 evolution reaction (HER) is still under-developed. In this work, by employing CdS nanowires as the growth substrate, unique one-dimensional (1D) CdS@Cd0.

Accelerated charge transfer of CdZnS@ZnS core-shell nano-spheres via decoration of NiP and g-CN toward efficient visible-light-driven H production.

Development of noble-metal-free photocatalysts for efficient H2 production from sunlight-driven water-splitting has aroused great interest in recent years. Herein, unique Cd0.5Zn0.

Unique 1D Cd Zn S@O-MoS /NiO Nanohybrids: Highly Efficient Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution via Integrated Structural Regulation.

Development of noble-metal-free photocatalysts for highly efficient sunlight-driven water splitting is of great interest. Nevertheless, for the photocatalytic H evolution reaction (HER), the integrated regulation study on morphology, electronic band structures, and surface active sites of catalyst is still minimal up to now. Herein, well-defined 1D Cd Zn S@O-MoS /NiO hybrid nanostructures with enhanced activity and stability for photocatalytic HER are prepared.

Global trends of research on emerging contaminants in the environment and humans: a literature assimilation.

Available literature data on five typical groups of emerging contaminants (EMCs), i.e., chlorinated paraffins (CPs), dechlorane plus and related compounds (DPs), hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), phthalate esters, and pyrethroids, accumulated between 2003 and 2013 were assimilated.
