Article Abstract

A LiPO nanocoating around a nickel-rich cathode material was successfully constructed controlling the reaction between the electrode material and a preformed phosphorus-containing polymeric nanoshell; this not only effectively tackles the alkali residue challenge, but it also contributes to much-improved electrochemical performance being shown by a high-energy cathode.

Achieving a crack-free, high-surface-area photoanode is essential for maximizing the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this work, rutile titanium dioxide (rTiO) nanoflowers were synthesized hydrothermally and then conformally coated with copper(I) oxide (CuO) by RF magnetron sputtering to seal pre-existing cracks and to create a nanothorn surface favorable for dye adsorption. Systematic control of the sputtering time identified 60 min as optimal condition, yielding a photoanode thickness of about 6.

Developing efficient, low-cost catalysts for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR and OER) is key to advancing metal-air batteries and regenerative fuel cells. In this study, nitrogen-doped binary metal (Mn and Ni) oxides (N-BMOs) and Pt-decorated N-BMOs were synthesised using three methods and tested as ORR and OER catalysts in alkaline media. Their physicochemical properties were characterised by XRD, N-sorption, TEM, and XPS, while their electrochemical performance was evaluated using voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy.

Electrochemical nitrogen fixation-a sustainable pathway for converting abundant N into NH using renewable energy-holds transformative potential for revolutionizing artificial nitrogen cycles. Nevertheless, even the state-of-the-art catalytic systems also suffer from inadequate N adsorption capacity, which critically limits ammonia production rates and Faradaic efficiency (FE). To overcome this bottleneck, we strategically leveraged the antiferroelectric properties of SnO to establish dipole-dipole interactions with N molecules, synergistically enhancing both N adsorption and activation kinetics.

Enhancement of the performance of lithium-ion batteries is a critical strategy for addressing the challenges associated with cost and raw materials. By doping boron (B), aluminum (Al), and aluminum/boron (Al/B) utilizing the sol-gel method, we demonstrate a substantial improvement in the cycling performance of Ni-rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) as an electrode. While the initial specific capacitance of the doped samples may be lower than that of the pristine NMC, these samples demonstrate a notable increase in specific capacitance during subsequent cycles, reaching a peak around the 10 cycle and nearing the highest specific capacitance observed in NMC cathodes.

To expand the application scope of carbon steel, imparting superhydrophobicity to its surface offers an effective strategy to overcome its inherently poor corrosion resistance. However, in marine environments, conventional superhydrophobic coatings often suffer from limited mechanical durability and inadequate long-term corrosion protection. In this study, a durable superhydrophobic bilayer coating composed of PDMS-MWCNTs (top layer) and PDMS (bottom layer) was developed to address these challenges.
