MoS Nanoflowers Grown on Plasma-Induced W-Anchored Graphene for Efficient and Stable H Production Through Seawater Electrolysis.

Herein, it is found that 3D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-MoS nanoflowers-grown on 2D tungsten oxide-anchored graphene nanosheets (MoS @W-G) functions as a superior catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under both acidic and alkaline conditions. The optimized weight ratio of MoS @W-G (MoS :W-G/1.5:1) in 0.

Ni-Co bimetallic decorated dodecahedral ZIF as an efficient catalyst for photoelectrochemical degradation of sulfamethoxazole coupled with hydrogen production.

In this work, a NiCo bimetallic ZIF (BMZIF) dodecahedron material has been synthesized by the precipitation approach and then used for simultaneously photoelectrocatalytic degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and hydrogen production. The combination of Ni/Co loading in ZIF structure increased the specific surface area 1484 (m g) and photocurrent density (0.4 mA cm), which can facilitate the good charge transfer efficiency.

Agricultural waste to real worth biochar as a sustainable material for supercapacitor.

Biochar made from agricultural waste is gaining more attention in energy field due to its sustainability, low cost, apart from having high supercapacitance performance. Also, it has a wide range of environmental applications, including wastewater treatment, upgrading soil fertility, contaminant immobilization, and in situ carbon sequestration. The existing thermo-chemical methodologies for converting agricultural waste into a sustainable material i.

Atomically dispersed Ti-O clusters anchored on NH-UiO-66(Zr) as efficient and deactivation-resistant photocatalyst for abatement of gaseous toluene under visible light.

Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over MOF-based photocatalysts is considerably impeded by the weak activation of reactant molecules on the catalyst surface and low charge carrier mobility. In this study, we demonstrate that atomically dispersed Ti species anchored on NH-UiO-66(Zr) (AUiO-66(Zr/Ti)) exhibit high visible-light-responsive photocatalytic activity toward toluene vapor with an 83 % removal efficiency and 89 % CO selectivity. These results are markedly superior to those reported in the literature.

Flower-like nickel hydroxide@tea leaf-derived biochar composite for high-performance supercapacitor application.

Renewable and sustainable high-performance energy storage devices are desirable to fulfill the demands of next-generation power sources. In this study, we report a flower-like nickel hydroxide/spent tea leaf-derived biochar (NiNF@TBC) composite for high-performance supercapacitor application. The tea leaf-derived biochar (TBC) with a specific surface area of 1340 m g is used as the Ni(OH) support to fabricate NiNF@TBC composites.

Bipyridine- and Copper-Functionalized N-doped Carbon Dots for Fluorescence Turn Off-On Detection of Ciprofloxacin.

Herein, a fluorescence turn off-on nanosensor has been successfully developed using functionalized N-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) as the label-free sensing probe for the ultrasensitive detection of Cu ions first and then ciprofloxacin (CIP), one of the most commonly used antibiotics for disease control, in the presence of bipyridine. The homogeneous and narrowly distributed N-CDs with a mean size of 5.7 nm and a high quantum yield of 84% are fabricated via the hydrothermal method in the presence of citric acid and ethylenediamine as the carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively.
