Article Abstract

The thin layered graphitic carbon nitride (-CN) was prepared by the thermal polymerization process with urea as the precursor. The layered heterostructure of graphitic carbon nitride-bismuth oxyiodide (-CN/BiOI) was constructed by the in-situ synthetization of bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) on the surface of the thin layered -CN. The morphology, specific surface area, crystal structure, molecular structure, light absorption properties, and surface properties were characterized by TEM, BET, XRD, FT-IR, UV-Vis DRS, and XPS, respectively. The disinfection performance of the synthesized catalysts under visible light irradiation was investigated. The antibacterial mechanism of -CN/BiOI in the photocatalytic process was further revealed by the capture of sacrificial agents. The results indicate that the prepared sample has a layered heterojunction structure with a specific surface area of 63 m·g and its light absorption side can obtain 600 nm. The results of the photocatalytic activity test indicate that -CN/BiOI can kill bacteria within 4 h, which is significantly higher than that of -CN and BiOI. The main active species of -CN/BiOI in the photocatalytic process can be attributed to the photogenerated holes.

Enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of fuel cells necessitates optimization of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under high-voltage conditions through improved Pt catalysis. This study introduces an electrocatalyst that uniformly anchors a high loading (40 wt%) of small Pt nanoparticles (3.2 nm) on a novel support: tellurium and nitrogen co-mediated graphitized mesoporous carbon (Te-N-GMC).

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), equipped with highly ion-conductive sulfide solid electrolytes and utilizing lithium plating/stripping as anode electrochemistry, suffer from 1) chemical vulnerability of the electrolytes with lithium and 2) physical growth of lithium to penetrate the electrolytes. By employing an ordered mesoporous graphitic carbon (OMGC) framework between a sulfide electrolyte layer and a copper current collector in ASSB, the concerns by are addressed 1) minimizing the chemically vulnerable interface (CVI) between electric conductor and solid electrolyte, and 2) allowing lithium ingrowth toward the porous structure via Coble creep, a diffusional deformation mechanism of lithium metal along the lithium-carbon interface. The void volume of the framework is fully filled with lithium metal, despite ionic pathways not being provided separately, even without additional lithiophiles, when an enough amount of lithium is allowed to be plated.

Ether-based electrolytes are widely acknowledged for their potential to form stable solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs) for stable anode performance. However, conventional ether-based electrolytes have shown a tendency for cation-solvent co-intercalation phenomena on graphite electrodes, resulting in lower capacity and higher voltage platforms compared to those of neat cation insertion in ester-based electrolytes. In response, we propose the development of weakly solvating ether solvents to weaken the interaction between cations and solvents, thereby suppressing co-intercalation behavior.

Heterojunctions have garnered significant attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their exceptional ability to facilitate the separation of photogenerated charge carriers and their high efficiency in hydrogen reaction. However, their overall photocatalytic performance is often constrained by electron transport rates and suboptimal hydrogen adsorption/desorption kinetics. To address these challenges, this study develops a g-CN/MoS@MoC dual-effect synergistic solid-state Z-type heterojunction, synthesized through the in-situ sulfurization of MoC combined with ultrasonic self-assembly technique.

Hard carbon (HC) has emerged as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its superior sodium storage performance. However, the high cost of conventional HC precursors remains a critical challenge. To address this, coal─a low-cost, carbon-rich precursor─has been explored for HC synthesis.
