Designing a highly coupled interfacial-engineered transition metal sulfide electrocatalyst with rich interfaces is crucial for accelerating the catalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which involves several intermediates. This study presents a novel polyoxometalate-based metal-organic framework (POM-MOF)-derived Fe- and Mo-codoped NiS/NiS heterostructure supported on a nickel foam (NF) (denoted as Fe,Mo-NiS/NiS/NF). The newly prepared Fe,Mo-NiS/NiS/NF catalyst possesses rich interfaces of NiS and NiS with uniformly doped Fe and Mo atoms. The optimized Fe,Mo-NiS/NiS/NF catalyst demonstrated best OER performance with ultralow overpotentials of 47 and 56 mV at 10 mA·cm for alkaline and simulated seawater, respectively. This resulting performance is attributed to its low interfacial resistance, fully exposed active sites, superhydrophilic properties, and excellent electronic interactions. Furthermore, Fe,Mo-NiS/NiS/NF exhibited strong durability under both alkaline and simulated seawater conditions for 100 h, fulfilling the requirements of an effective water oxidation electrocatalyst. This study focused on the design and optimization of POM-MOF sulfide derivatives for electrocatalytic OER, offering broadened avenues for the application of POM-MOF-derived heterostructures in renewable energy conversion and storage.

Elevating the upper cutoff voltage to 4.6 V could effectively increase the reversible capacity of LiCoO (LCO) cathode, whereas the irreversible structural transition, unstable electrode/electrolyte interface and potentially induced safety hazards severely hinder its industrial application. Building a robust cathode/electrolyte interface film by electrolyte engineering is one of the efficient approaches to boost the performance of high-voltage LCO (HV-LCO); however, the elusive interfacial chemistry poses substantial challenges to the rational design of highly compatible electrolytes.

The high reactivity of sodium leads to significant safety challenges, while the unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) further complicates its use in sodium-metal batteries (SMBs), collectively impeding their path to commercialization. A deep eutectic electrolyte (DEE) is introduced, which addresses these challenges by balancing high ionic conductivity with stable SEI formation. The introduction of -methylacetamide enhances the nonflammability of the solvent and adjusts the SEI composition.

The transthyretin (TTR) tetramer, assembled as a dimer of dimers, transports thyroxine and retinol binding protein in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Aggregation of wild type (WT) or pathogenic variant TTR leads to transthyretin amyloidosis, which is associated with neurodegenerative and cardiac disease. The trigger for TTR aggregation under physiological conditions is unknown.

Enzyme-catalyzed reactions have the advantages of excellent selectivity, low cost, and mild reaction conditions, but the slow reaction kinetics limit their practical applications. Herein, a microdroplet generator that can continuously and rapidly generate water microdroplets with tunable size was designed and used for the study of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in microdroplets. Using glucose oxidase as a model and resazurin as a fluorescence probe, the fluorescence intensity of the collected microdroplets sprayed into the gas phase was 35 times higher than that in the bulk system, demonstrating obvious reaction acceleration in the microdroplets.

Lithium-rich manganese oxide (LRMO) is a promising high-energy-density material for high-voltage lithium-ion batteries, but its performance is hindered by interfacial side reactions, transition metal dissolution, and oxygen release. To address these issues, we propose a high-voltage electrolyte strategy that utilizes cosolvent and additive synergy to create stable dual interphases at both the cathode and anode. Specifically, lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) additive sacrificially decomposes to form a uniform yet stable cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer, while cosolvent of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate (BTFEC) effectively adjusts the solvation structure and synergistically stabilizes the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the anode, ultimately achieving ultrahigh cycle stability and fast-charging feasibility.
