Co(3)O(4) nanorods (diameters approximately 6-8 nm and lengths approximately 20-30 nm) were synthesized for the first time through a simple co-precipitation/digestion method by calcination of cobalt hydroxyl carbonate in air and their CO gas sensing properties were investigated. The Co(3)O(4) nanorods exhibited outstanding gas sensing characteristics such as, higher gas response (approximately 6.55-50 ppm CO gas at 250 degrees C), extremely rapid response (approximately 3-4s), fast recovery (approximately 5-6s), excellent repeatability, good selectivity and lower operating temperature (approximately 250 degrees C). Furthermore, the Co(3)O(4) nanorods are able to detect up to 5 ppm for CO with reasonable sensitivity (approximately 3.32) at an operating temperature 250 degrees C and they can be reliably used to monitor the concentration of CO over the range (5-50 ppm). The experimental results clearly demonstrate the potential of using the Co(3)O(4) nanorods as sensing material in the fabrication of CO sensors. Plausible CO sensing mechanism of the Co(3)O(4) nanorods is also discussed.

Cobalt is recognized as an active catalyst in ethane dehydroaromatization (EDA) reactions due to its efficient ethane cracking capability. In order to optimize cobalt's strong ethane cracking capability, it was loaded onto HZSM-5 zeolite through impregnation. This study was conducted with Co-loaded HZSM-5 catalysts with an incipient wetness impregnation method and witnessed an increase of catalytic activity with a long induction period.

The shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and sluggish sulfur conversion kinetics have seriously hindered the commercial application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Currently, the adsorption and catalysis processes are emphasized; however, the diffusion process is often neglected. The delayed diffusion of the adsorbed LiPSs significantly reduce battery performance.

Perfluorooctanoic acid "Forever Chemical" presents substantial ecological challenges owing to its persistence and resistance to degradation. The study introduces a novel approach by integrating ternary metal oxides-GdO, CoO, and BiO with carbon nanotubes to develop a versatile electrode material, CNT@GdCoBi NCs, which demonstrates dual functionality as both an electrochemical sensor for PFOA and a component for energy storage devices. The electrode exhibits outstanding electrochemical sensing performance, with a detection limit for PFOA of 4.

Designing efficient sulfide photocatalysts for the simultaneous split water into H and O continue to be an arduous challenge. Herein, a Zn-vacancy mediated S-scheme MnCdS/ZnS-V heterojunction derived from MnCdS/MOF-5 via in-situ vulcanization of MOF-5 in a new-fashioned sacrificial reagent of NaS/NaHPO was fabricated. The presence of Zn vacancy (V) was certified by TEM, XPS, EPR and PL results, which result in a new defect level in the band structure of ZnS.
