Titanium-based adsorbents for CO2 capture were prepared through impregnating the as-synthesized TiO2 nanotubes (TiNT) with four kinds of amines, namely monoethanolamine (MEA), ethylenediamine (EDA), triethylenetetramine (TETA) and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA). The resultant samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, low-temperature N2 adsorption as well as transmission electron microscopy. The absorption of CO2 was carried out in a dynamic packed column. The sample impregnated with TEPA showed a better adsorption capacity due to its higher amino groups content. In addition, CO2 adsorption capacity increases as the amount of amine loaded increases. Therefore, TiNT-TEPA-69 showed the highest CO2 adsorption capacity among the three samples impregnated with TETA; approximately 4.10 mmol/g at 30 degrees C. In addition, the dynamic adsorption/desorption performance was investigated. The adsorption capacity of TiNT-TEPA-69 dropped slightly (about 2%) during a total of five cycles. The TiNT-TEPA-69 adsorbent exhibited excellent CO2 adsorption/desorption performance.

Constructing oriented crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) membranes with controllable thickness for water purification is highly desirable. Herein, we present a simple and universal protocol to prepare high-quality COF membranes on the inner wall of a glass vessel using a diffusion/modulator dual-mediated solid-liquid/vapor interfacial synthesis strategy. By meticulous control of the solvent and temperature, a thin supersaturated spreading liquid layer was formed on the glass wall surface and served as a confined microreactor for incubating crystal nuclei.

Vanadium oxides are attracted cathodes for aqueous zinc batteries owing to their high capacity. However, the limited cyclability of vanadium-based oxide cathodes, especially at low current densities, impedes their practical application. Here, it is revealed that proton insertion is responsible for the limited lifetime of vanadium oxides.

Oriented 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes hold considerable promise for industrial separation processes. Nevertheless, the lattice misalignment caused by the twisted stacking of 2D nanosheets reduces the in-plane pore size and exerts a significant impact on the membrane separation performance. Precisely regulating the stacking pattern of oriented 2D MOF membranes remains a significant challenge.

Understanding the relationship between structure regulation and electrochemical performance is key to developing efficient and sustainable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) materials. Herein, seven Cobalt-M-based (M=V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) Prussian blue analogues (CoM-PBAs) are designed as anodes for SIBs via a universal low-energy co-precipitation approach with the strategic inclusion of 3d transition metals. Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulation and experimental validation reveal that a moderate p-band center of cyanide linkages (-CN-) is more favorable for Na+ intercalation and diffusion, while the d-band center of metal cations is linearly related to electrode stability.

Solid-state lithium (Li) metal batteries (SSLMBs) have garnered considerable attention due to their potential for high energy density and intrinsic safety. However, their widespread development has been hindered by the low ionic conductivity of solid-state electrolytes. In this contribution, a novel Li-rich transport mechanism is proposed to achieve ultrafast Li-ion conduction in composite solid-state electrolytes.
