Engineering materials nanostructures is key for developing renewable energy technologies for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) but remains a long-term research challenge. In this paper, heterostructured NiO/NiCoO nanoprisms with a hierarchically hollow cavity and porous framework are rationally designed and further encapsulated in graphene oxide (NiO/NiCoO@GO) as a highly efficient anode nanomaterial for LIBs. Heterostructured NiO/NiCoO hollow/porous nanoprisms are derived by the ionic exchange of Ni precursors with [Co(CN)] (CoNi-metal-organic framework (MOF)) and then annealed under air. The encapsulation is achieved by fast assembly of GO and NiO/NiCoO. Thanks to hierarchically hollow and porous nanostructure, heterostructured NiO/NiCoO, and overcoated GO, the NiO/NiCoO electrode shows excellent electrochemical performance toward lithium storage, disclosing a large rate capacity of 468 mA h g at 3.0 A g and a good capacity retention of 561 mA h g at 1 A g after 800 cycles. This work paves a facile ionic exchange method for the controllable construction of hierarchically hollow MOFs and their derived composite nanomaterials for various energy-related applications.

The development of diverse microstructures has substantially contributed to recent progress in high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials, providing a versatile platform for the modulation of absorption properties. Exploring multidimensional microstructures and developing tailored and gentle strategies for their precise optimization can substantially address the current challenges posed by relatively unclear underlying mechanisms. Here, a series of 2D/1D heterogeneous NiO@PPy composites featuring hollow hierarchical microstructures are successfully synthesized using a straightforward strategy combining sacrificial templating with chemical oxidative polymerization.

Designing and constructing hierarchically structured materials with heterogeneous compositions is the key to developing an effective catalyst for overall water-splitting applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of hollow-structured selenium-doped nickel-cobalt hybrids on carbon paper as a self-supported electrode (denoted as Se-Ni|Co/CP, where Ni|Co hybrids consist of nickel-cobalt alloy-incorporated nickel-cobalt oxide). The procedure involves direct growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) on bimetal-based nickel-cobalt hydroxide (NiCoOH) electrodeposited on CP, followed by selenous etching and pyrolysis to obtain the final Se-Ni|Co/CP electrocatalytic system.

Transition metal phosphorus (TMPs) and sulfides have attracted extensive attention as important candidates to replace noble metal-based hydrogen evolution (HER) catalysts. However, the insufficient specific surface area, low conductivity and easy detachments from electrode seriously affect the HER catalytic activity and stability. Herein, a novel self-supported hollow Janus-structured NiCoP/P-MoS heterojunction is designed on carbon cloth (CC) as high-performance electrocatalyst for alkaline HER.

One-dimensional (1D) hierarchical photocatalyst has the advantages of 1D materials and hierarchical materials, which is a kind of potential high performance photocatalytic materials. However, how to efficiently synthesize 1D hierarchical BiOBr is still a huge challenge. Herein, 1D rod-like BiO(OH)(NO)·3HO, the hydrolysis product of Bi(NO)·5HO, was acted as both the template and Bi source to synthesize 1D hierarchical hollow BiOBr (1DHHBr) through a facile solution stirring method at room temperature, using KBr as Br source.
