Article Abstract
Metallic bismuth has drawn attention as a promising alloying anode for advanced potassium ion batteries (PIBs). However, serious volume expansion/electrode pulverization and sluggish kinetics always lead to its inferior cycling and rate properties for practical applications. Therefore, advanced Bi-based anodes via structural/compositional optimization and sur-/interface design are needed. Herein, we develop a bottom-up avenue to fabricate nanoscale Bi encapsulated in a 3D N-doped carbon nanocages (Bi@N-CNCs) framework with a void space by using a novel Bi-based metal-organic framework as the precursor. With elaborate regulation in annealing temperatures, the optimized Bi@N-CNCs electrode exhibits large reversible capacities and long-duration cyclic stability at high rates when evaluated as competitive anodes for PIBs. Insights into the intrinsic K -storage processes of the Bi@N-CNCs anode are put forward from comprehensive in situ characterizations.

Electrocatalytic CO reduction (eCOR) under acidic conditions is the game changer of resourceful CO utilization owing to the alleviated carbon loss but faces severe competition from the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) that greatly curtails the electric current efficiency. Leveraging the eCOR side of the teeterboard calls for a fundamental understanding of the triphasic electrode process involving a complex arrangement of electric double layers (EDLs). Herein, a series of model catalysts with tailored cavernous parameters are fabricated to geometrically and spectroscopically decipher the competing HER and eCOR processes that engage different proton sources.

Development of aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries suffers from slow cathode reaction kinetics, numerous side reactions, and large polarization, which are intimately related to the discharge product of LiO. Here, we designed and prepared a modified CoO nanoparticle with atomic Ru substitution at octahedral Co sites supported by carbon nanocages (RuCoO@HCNs) as a cathode catalyst. The asymmetrical octahedral Ru-O-Co units trigger a strong electron coupling effect, leading to charge redistribution and optimization of the d-orbital energy levels, thus facilitating oxygen activation and conversion into superoxide anions during discharging.

The shuttle effect, low electrical conductivity, and sluggish reaction kinetics of sulfur significantly limit the practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. In this study, high-entropy alloy nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanocages and supported by carbon fibers (HEA@NC/CF) are prepared as an interlayer material in Li-S batteries to address these challenges. The HEA nanoparticles provide abundant adsorption and catalytic sites.

An electrochemical sensor demonstrating exceptional sensitivity was constructed for bisphenol F analysis. Carbon nanocages and Prussian blue nanocubes were synthesized and then applied to modify a glassy carbon electrode layer by layer, creating the unique sensing platform. The combination of carbon nanocages and Prussian blue nanocubes greatly improved the charge transfer rate and offered a substantial surface area for bisphenol F adsorption.

Diamond holds significant promise for a wide range of applications due to its exceptional physicochemical properties. Investigating the controlled diamond preparation from nanocarbon precursors with varying dimensionalities is crucial to optimize the transition conditions and even elucidate the daunting transformation mechanism, however, this remains outstanding challenge despite considerable effort. Herein, the imperative dimensionality effect of nanocarbon precursors on diamond synthesis and the physical mechanism under high temperature and high pressure is reported, by comparing the distinct transition processes of 0D carbon nanocages (CNCs) and 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from conventional graphite.
