Herein, binary heteronanosheets made of ultrathin ReS nanosheets and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with either a two-dimensional (2D) "sheet-on-sheet" architecture (2D ReS/RGO) or a three-dimensional hierarchical structure (3D ReS/RGO) are constructed through rational structure-engineering strategies. In the resultant 3D ReS/RGO heteronanosheets, the ultrathin ReS nanosheets are bridged on the RGO surface through Re-O bonds in a vertically oriented manner, which endows the heteronanosheets with open frameworks and a hierarchical porous structure. In sharp contrast to the 2D ReS/RGO, the 3D ReS/RGO heteronanosheets are featured with abundant active sites and channels for efficient electrolyte ions transport. This, coupled with the strong affinity toward oxygen-containing intermediates intrinsically associated with the binary ReS/RGO structure, imparts excellent oxygen reduction performance to the 3D ReS/RGO heteronanosheets for potential applications in fuel cells and metal-air batteries.

This work developed a novel oxidized hierarchical porous carbon (OHPC) with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls via a method of air oxidation and used as an efficient adsorbent for Congo red (CR) and Malachite green (MG) removal. Results show that the OHPC2 oxidized at 400 °C possesses three-dimensional hierarchical pores with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls. The prepared OHPC2 not only has a large specific surface area of 1020 m g with a high pore volume, but also has abundant oxygen-containing functional groups.

The integration of membrane separation with heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes is a prospective strategy for the elimination of contaminants during wastewater treatment. Fe-based catalysts and the green oxidant peracetic acid (PAA) are desirable candidates for the development of catalytic membranes because they are environmentally friendly. However, the construction of catalytic ceramic membranes (CMs) modified with efficient Fe-based catalysts that generate increased amounts of high-valent Fe-O species during PAA activation for the degradation of specific pollutants, especially during instantaneous membrane filtration, remains challenging.

ConspectusIn electrochemical energy storage systems, the reversible storage capacity of battery materials often degrades due to parasitic reactions at the electrode-electrolyte interface, transitional metal dissolution, and metallic dendrite growth at the surface. Surface engineering techniques offer the opportunity to modify the composition and structure of a surface, thereby enabling control over chemical reactions occurring at the surface and manipulating chemical interactions at the solid-solid or solid-liquid interface. These modifications can help stabilize the surface of electrode materials and prevent unwanted reactions with electrolytes without changing the original properties of the bulk structure.
