The 2D copper-carboxylate framework (1.2 g/L) exhibited high adsorption rates for organic dyes (0.15-0.19 mM), and >90% of these dyes could be captured as soon as they are exposed to MOF suspension (1 min) in each case. The dye removal efficiency is credited to synergy among structure, ionic strength, shapes and dimensions of dyes with respect to MOF structure. The microstructure of MOF along with electronic interactions like electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions and coordination to open metal sites, might contribute to the ultrafast dye adsorption process by MOF. The adsorption phenomenon is spontaneous and followed the pseudo-second order kinetic mechanism. DFT calculations revealed important electronic parameters of the dyes and model MOF systems, and novel insights with respect to possible dye-MOF interactions. The MOF remained quite stable during the dye adsorption and was regenerated easily for the successful subsequent use.Fe2O3/CuO p-n heterojunction photoelectrode films were fabricated by growing CuO nanoparticles on Fe2O3 nanorods via an impregnation method. The content of CuO in Fe2O3/CuO films was changed to study the role of CuO on the p-n heterojunction. The obtained Fe2O3/CuO photoelectrodes exhibited high intensity of visible-light absorption and excellence photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance. The incident photocurrent efficiency (IPCE) of Fe2O3/CuO photoanode reached 11.4% under 365 nm light irradiation, which is 2.6 times higher than that of bare Fe2O3 photoanode. In a PEC water splitting reaction, the H2 and O2 production rates for Fe2O3/CuO-3 were 0.294 and 0.130 µmol/min. The enhanced PEC performance was mainly contributed by the enhanced charge separation and the synergism achieved in Fe2O3/CuO p-n heterojunctions. This work could provide a new route to construct efficient Fe2O3-based composite photoelectrodes for the PEC.Artificial photoreduction of CO2 to chemical fuel is an intriguing and reliable strategy to tackle the issues of energy crisis and climate change simultaneously. In the present study, we rationally constructed a Ni(OH)2-modified covalent triazine-based framework (CTF-1) composites to serve as cocatalyst ensemble for superior photoreduction of CO2. In particular, the optimal Ni(OH)2-CTF-1 composites (loading ratio at 0.5 wt%) exhibited superior photocatalytic activity, which surpassed the bare CTF-1 by 33 times when irradiated by visible light. The mechanism for the enhancement was systematically investigated based on various instrumental analyses. The origin of the superior activity was attributable to the enhanced CO2 capture, more robust visible-light response, and improved charge carrier separation/transfer. This study offers an innovative pathway for the fabrication of noble-metal-free cocatalysts on CTF semiconductors and deepens the understanding of photocatalytic CO2 reduction.Vanadium oxides attract much attention and are concerned as one of the most promising cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) owing to the layered structures. However, their intensive development is limited by the fragile structures and laggard ion-transferring. Herein, Mn2+ inserted hydrated vanadium pentoxide nanobelts/reduced graphene oxide (MnxV2O5·nH2O/rGO, abbreviated as MnVOH/rGO) was prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal process, delivering excellent electrochemical properties for AZIBs. The Zn//MnVOH/rGO cell operates well even at changing current densities over 45 cycles, behaving 361 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1, 323 mAh·g-1 as the current density gradually increasing to 2 A·g-1 and 350 mAh·g-1 when gradually back to 0.1 A·g-1 (∼97% of initial capacity). Proxalutamide Such a superb cycling and rate performance is ascribed to the unique stable structure with the compact electrostatic attraction between Mn2+ and V2O5·nH2O (VOH) laminate. On the one hand, Mn2+ generates electrostatic network with [VO6] polyhedrons and suppresses the following electrostatic trap for the moving Zn2+. On the other hand, rGO improves the conductivity, endowing the high capacity and energy density. The performance of the MnVOH/rGO cathode exceeds most of vanadium-based cathodes applying in AZIBs and paves the way to the ideal energy storage system.
Smart membranes with robust liquid water resistance and water vapor transmission capabilities have attracted growing attentions in personal protective equipment and environmental protection. However, current fluorine-free waterproof and breathable nanofibrous membranes are usually prepared through toxic solvent-based electrospinning, which raises great concerns about their environmental impacts.
We develop environmentally friendly fluorine-free polyurethane nanofibrous membranes with robust waterproof and breathable performances via waterborne electrospinning without post-coating treatment. The incorporation of the low surface energy long-chain alkyls and polycarbodiimide crosslinker imparts the interconnective porous channels with high hydrophobicity to waterborne fluorine-free polyurethane nanofibrous membranes.
