3D Graphene sheets encapsulated amorphous hollow CoSnO nanoboxes (H-CoSnO @reduced graphene oxide [RGO]) are successfully fabricated by first preparing 3D graphene oxides encapsulated solid CoSn(OH) nanocubes, followed by an alkaline etching process and subsequent heating treatment in Ar. The hollow CoSnO nanoboxes with average particle size of 230 nm are uniformly and tightly encapsulated by RGO sheets. As an anode material for Li-ion batteries, H-CoSnO @RGO displays high initial Coulombic efficiency of 87.1% and large reversible capacity of 1919 mA h g after 500 cycles at the current density of 500 mA g . Moreover, excellent rate capability (1250, 1188, 1141, 1115, 1086, 952, 736, and 528 mA h g at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 2000, and 5000 mA g , respectively) is acquired. The reasons for excellent lithium storage properties of H-CoSnO @RGO are discussed in detail.

Fumonisin B1 (FB1), the most prevalent and highest toxicity mycotoxins among fumonisins family, poses threats to human especially children and infants even at a trace level. Therefore, its facile and sensitive detection is of importance. Herein, Z-scheme CuMoS/CdS/InS nanocage-like heterojunctions (labeled CuMoS/CdS/InS) were synthesized, whose photoelectrochemical (PEC) property and electron transfer mechanism were strictly investigated.

In this work, a fire-new "signal-off" type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor based on bismuth sulfide/iodine doped bismuth oxychloride (BiS/I:BiOCl) heterostructure as a platform and Au nanoparticles loaded hollow CoSnO nanoboxes (Au NPs@CoSnO) as quenching label was designed, for sensitive detection of CYFRA 21-1. The I:BiOCl with flower-like structure could supply high specific surface area for loading nanometer materials. Then, BiS was formed in-situ by S adsorption on the surface of I:BiOCl by dangling bond of Bi, but did not change the flower-like structure of I:BiOCl.

CoSnO, as a high theoretical capacity electrode material (1235 mAh g) for lithium storage, has been limited due to its low rate performance, huge volume expansion, and an unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI). A rational design of the material structure including carbon coating can effectively solve the problems. To buffer the volume change and achieve a superior rate capability, hollow CoSnO nanocubes encapsulated in 1D N-doped carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were fabricated by electrospinning, showing a final discharge capacity of 733 mAh g with a 96% capacity retention after 800 cycles at a current rate of 1 A g and a brilliant rate performance (49% capacity maintenance with the current variation from 0.

Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) are potential candidates for anode materials of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity (∼1000 mA h/g) and enhanced safety from suppressing the formation of lithium dendrites. However, the poor electron conductivity and the large volume expansion during lithiation/delithiation processes are still the main hurdles for the practical usage of TMOs as anode materials. In this work, the CoSnO@NC@MnO@NC hierarchical nanobox (CNMN) is then proposed and fabricated to solve those issues.

Micrometer-sized spherical aggregates of Sn and Co components containing core-shell, yolk-shell, hollow nanospheres are synthesized by applying nanoscale Kirkendall diffusion in the large-scale spray drying process. The Sn Co -Co SnC -C composite microspheres uniformly dispersed with Sn Co -Co SnC mixed nanocrystals are formed by the first-step reduction of spray-dried precursor powders at 900 °C. The second-step oxidation process transforms the Sn Co -Co SnC -C composite into the porous microsphere composed of Sn-Sn Co @CoSnO -Co O core-shell, Sn-Sn Co @CoSnO -Co O yolk-shell, and CoSnO -Co O hollow nanospheres at 300, 400, and 500 °C, respectively.
