Cobalt complexes of 1,1,5,5-tetramethyl-2,4-dithiobiuret, [Co{N(SCNMe(2))(2)}(3)] (1), and 1,1,5,5-tetraisopropyl-2-thiobiuret, [Co{N(SOCN(i)Pr(2))(2)}(2)] (2), have been synthesized and characterized. Both complexes were used as single-molecule precursors for the preparation of cobalt sulphide nanoparticles by thermolysis in hexadecylamine, octadecylamine or oleylamine. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of as-prepared nanoparticles showed the hexagonal phase of Co(1-x)S from complex 1 and mixtures of cubic and hexagonal Co(4)S(3) from complex 2. Transmission electron microscopy images of material prepared from complex 1 showed spherical and trigonally shaped particles in the size range of 10-15 nm; whereas spheres, rods, trigonal prisms and pentagonally and hexagonally faceted crystallites were observed from complex 2. This observation is the first of the Co(4)S(3) phase in a nanodispersed form.

Lignin represents a significant source of aromatic hydrocarbons in the natural world. The production of high-value chemicals from lignin has the great potential to effectively address the issue of fossil energy scarcity. In this study, complex sulfides of nickel‑cobalt bimetallic catalysts were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis and subsequently employed in the catalytic hydrogenolysis of CO bonds present in lignin.

Constructing hybrid hollow nano-electrocatalysts with various transition metal sulfides (TMSs) is highly desirable for sensitive enzyme-free glucose monitoring, but limited research has been conducted due to the constraints of current demanding synthesis technologies. In this study, we integrated CuS and CoS as hybrid nanocages (h-NCs) by advanced synthetic strategies, including coordinated etching and precipitation (CEP) and template ion reutilization. The resulting CuS/CoS h-NCs induced good synergistic effect in electrocatalytic activities, glucose adsorption, and electrical conductivity, as validated by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

With the rapid development of optics and nanotechnology, optical therapy is recognized as a potential strategy to combat bacterial drug resistance. Unfortunately, the limitation of band structure on the therapeutic effect of photocatalytic nano-antimicrobial materials has become a major challenge in the development of optical therapy. Here, CoS and CoS-T200 were prepared by facet engineering design with major exposed facets (311) and (222), respectively.

Developing an efficient, robust, and noble metal-free electrocatalyst that can catalyse oxygen evolution reactions (OER) remains a significant challenge. CoS, a representative of pyrite form transition metal dichalcogenides, has recently been identified as an economical catalyst. Here, an incredibly quick and scalable technique for novel catalysts synthesized with the use of the microwave method was introduced.

This work illustrates the practicality and economic benefits of employing a hetero-interfaced electrocatalyst (CoS@CoFe-LDH), containing cobalt sulphide and iron-cobalt double-layer hydroxide for large-scale hydrogen generation. Here, the rational synthesis and detailed characterization of the CoS@CoFe-LDH material to unravel its unique heterostructure are essayed. The CoS@CoFe-LDH operates as a bifunctional electrocatalyst to trigger both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline seawater (pH 14.
