Article Abstract

The O3-type NaNiFeMnO material is modified by introducing Sr into the Na sites and Al into the transition metal (TM) sites. The inactive Sr and Al serve as structural pillars within the NaO and TMO slabs, respectively, expanding the interlayer spacing and boosting the stability of the structure. The optimized cathode demonstrates a good rate performance of 117.8 mAh g at 5C and exhibits outstanding cycling stability of 88% after 200 cycles, significantly surpassing the pristine material (68%).

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) exhibit outstanding catalytic activity, yet their application in real complex environments is constrained by the single active sites and instabilities that are susceptible to inactivation. Extensive efforts have been made to regulate the metal coordination environment, but the catalytic role of nonmetal dopants, especially beyond the first shell, remains underexplored. Herein, S-engineered second-shell Fe single-atom catalysts (FeNSC) are reported, in which S sites not only function as additional nonmetallic active sites separated from Fe but also reinforce the stability of the catalysts.

Adsorption as an uncomplicated and effective water purification strategy, faced inherent limitations in pollutant mineralization and adsorbent regeneration, while conventional electro-Fenton (EF) struggles with inefficient removal of low-concentration contaminants and narrow pH applicability. To address these challenges, we developed a bifunctional MOF-derived Fe-Cu@biochar composite, which synergistically coupled adsorption with heterogeneous EF (hetero-EF) oxidation for enhanced antibiotics removal and green adsorbent regeneration. The biochar substrate engineered with mesoporous structure and large specific surface area, stabilized Fe-Cu dual sites through coordination bonds while providing abundant oxygen functional groups for rapid tetracycline (TC) adsorption (192.

In single-atom catalysts (SACs), active sites can be positioned in close proximity without forming direct chemical bonds, allowing their catalytic behavior to be modulated through inter-site interactions. However, the atomic-level mechanisms underlying these site proximity effects remain poorly understood. Herein, employing constant-potential density functional theory calculations, we systematically investigate the influence of site proximity on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of Fe SACs embedded in pyridinic N-doped graphene (FeN SACs).

Shanghai Key Laboratory of Molecular Catalysis and Innovative Materials, Department of Chemistry, College of Smart Materials and Future Energy, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200433, P. R. China.

Overcoming the 4.6 V barrier for LiCoO (LCO) cathodes necessitates concurrent mitigation of bulk structural degradation and interfacial side reactions. Herein, a bulk-surface synergistic stabilization strategy is proposed integrating Fe/F dual-site doping with an ultrathin LiCPON solid electrolyte coating (≈2 nm) deposited via magnetron sputtering.
