Efficient catalysts for oxygen (O) activation under room condition are required for effective wet air oxidation (WAO) technology. Here, we report a novel manganese-cobalt-based composite (MnO-CoO@Co) fabricated on a graphite felt (GF) support for catalyzing the electro-activation of O under room condition. Abundant Co-MnO and CoO-MnO heterointerfaces are formed in the composite. In comparison to the single-metal counterparts, i.e. CoO@Co/GF (16.99 wt% Co) and MnO/GF (26.83 wt% Mn), the bimetal MnO-CoO@Co/GF (5.29 wt% Co and 8.79 wt% Mn) displays an improved oxygen storage capacity and provides more active sites to accommodate surface adsorbed oxygen species. Notably, the strong synergy derived from bimetal heterointerfaces enhances the electron transfer and oxygen mobilization during the electro-activation of O, thereby significantly reducing the reaction barrier. MnO-CoO@Co/GF exhibits excellent efficiency and stability in electrocatalytic WAO (ECWAO) towards the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) over a wide pH range from 4.0 to 10.0. A model pollutant sulfamethoxazole (SMX) acquires mineralization efficiency of 78.4 ± 2.1% and mineralization current efficiency of 157.89% at +1.0 V of electrode potential. The toxicity of PPCPs can be totally eliminated after the ECWAO treatment. This work highlights the synergy derived from bimetal heterointerfaces in O electrocatalysis, and provides a promising approach for advanced WAO catalysts in PPCPs pollution control.

Electron injection effectively induces the formation of a 1T-rich phase to address the low conductivity of MoSe. Nevertheless, overcoming the inherent metastability of the 1T phase (particularly during the conversion reactions that entail the decomposition-reconstruction of MoSe and volume expansion) remains a challenge. Guided by DFT results, we designed a composite with bimetal selenides-based heterostructures anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets (G-CuSe@MoSe) to obtain stabilized 1T-rich MoSe and enhanced ion transfer.

The specific energies and energy densities of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are influenced by various cell parameters, including the sulfur loading, the sulfur weight percentage in the cathode, and the electrolyte/sulfur ratio. An InS/BiS@rGO heterostructure was obtained by growing indium sulfide nanoparticles on the surface of bismuth sulfide nanoflowers in a graphene oxide (GO) solution via a one-step solvothermal approach. This structure was introduced as a modified separator/dual-layer sulfur cathode for Li-S batteries.

It is important to develop electrocatalysts that are cheap and have high activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, NiS/NiMoS with amorphous phase and unique candied-haws shaped nanoarray structure was successfully grown on nickel foam (NiS/NiMoS/NF) as efficient HER catalyst. Combining NiS with NiMoS resulted in the extension of the heterointerfaces between the materials, which facilitated the HER process in alkaline medium.

Rational design efficient transition metal-based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for water splitting. However, industrial water-alkali electrolysis requires large current densities at low overpotentials, always limited by intrinsic activity. Herein, we report hierarchical bimetal nitride/hydroxide (NiMoN/NiFe LDH) array as model catalyst, regulating the electronic states and tracking the relationship of structure-activity.
