    Abstract Due to the space and time constraints of turbulence measurement equipment and the experiment scene, it is difficult to obtain the atmosphere refractive index structure constant over the ocean. In this paper, the characteristics of atmospheric optical turbulence in offshore and open ocean conditions are summarized by analyzing the meteorological data obtained from two ocean atmospheric optical parameter field experiments. Because of the influence of land undersurface, the turbulence strength in offshore conditions is roughly the same as that on land and presents different characteristics in open ocean. Compared with the offshore area, the turbulence strength over the open ocean near-surface decreases during the day and increases at night, and the diurnal variation characteristics weaken. The turbulence strength profiles over the offshore area show different characteristics at different times, where the turbulence strength in the morning is higher than that in the evening. By retrieving the meteorological factors affecting the turbulence, it is found that the temperature gradient and wind shear are in good agreement with turbulence strength in both offshore and open ocean areas. Furthermore, the integrated parameters for astronomy and optical telecommunication are derived from profiles over the offshore and open ocean areas. It is of great significance to research the turbulent characteristics of ocean atmosphere for optical transmission and astronomical observations.

    Abstract Porous carbon-based materials are employed as sulfur hosts to overcome the problems of insulating nature and volume expansion during lithiation of sulfur cathodes in lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries to some degree. However, the shuttle effect and sluggish redox reaction kinetics of sulfur species result in unsatisfactory cycle life and sulfur utilization, hampering the practical application of Li–S batteries. In this work, meso-/microporous core-shelled MoC nanocrystal-embedded N-doped carbon microspheres (MoC/NC CSMSs) were prepared and further used as sulfur hosts. The tailored mesoporous core and microporous-thin shell cooperate to guarantee a high sulfur loading, good electrolyte penetration, improved structural stability, and relieved shuttle effect. Besides, the uniformly distributed MoC nanocrystals enhance the affinity to lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) via the formation of the Mo–S bond and accelerate the conversion kinetics of LiPSs by catalyzing the formation and decomposition of Li₂S clusters. After sulfur loading, the MoC/NC/S CSMS electrode exhibits remarkable lithium storage properties with a high reversible capacity of 1370.3 mA h g⁻¹ at 0.1C, outstanding rate performance, and ultra-long cycle life with a low capacity decay rate of 0.034% per cycle for 500 cycles at 1C.

    Abstract Water electrolysis offers a promising green technology to tackle the global energy and environmental crisis, but its efficiency is greatly limited by the sluggish reaction kinetics of both the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, by growing amorphous multi-transition-metal (cobalt and iron) oxide on two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus (BP), we develop a bifunctional electrocatalyst (CoFeO@BP), which is able to efficiently catalyze both HER and OER.

    Abstract The application of lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries is hindered by the severe shuttle effect and sluggish redox conversion kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Herein, holey amorphous dual transition metal (cobalt and iron) oxide-coated black phosphorus nanosheets (BP@FeCoO) have been synthesized and utilized as a sulfur host in Li–S batteries. From the compositional outlook, compared with the individual counterparts, the hybrid material of BP and amorphous FeCoO containing rich oxygen vacancies has enhanced adsorption ability and catalytic activity toward LiPSs, as well as improved electrical conductivity and Li-ion diffusion rate. From the structural feature perspective, the 2D nanosheets decorated with abundant meso/microporous channels greatly enlarge the surface area of the BP@FeCoO electrode, which offers sufficient active sites for accommodating sulfur active species and provides buffer space to withstand the volume changes during the charge/discharge process. Due to these compositional and structural superiorities, the Li–S battery with BP@FeCoO/S electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance with high cycle stability (fading rate of 0.040% per cycle at 1C) and outstanding rate capability (644.3 mA h g⁻¹ at 5C). More impressively, with a high sulfur loading of 6.0 mg cm⁻², the BP@FeCoO/S electrode showed a high capacity of 903.9 mA h g⁻¹ at 0.2C.

    Abstract Rationally regulating the reactivity of molecules or functional groups is common in organic chemistry, both in laboratory and industry synthesis. This concept can be applied to inorganic nanomaterials, particularly two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets. The high reactivity of few-layer (even monolayer) BP is expected to be "shut down" when not required and to be resumed upon application. Here, we demonstrate a protective chemistry-based methodology for regulating BP reactivity. The protective step initiates from binding Al

    Abstract Abstract Few‐layer black phosphorus (FL‐BP) has been intensively studied due to its attractive properties and great potential in electronic and optoelectronic applications. However, the intrinsic instability of FL‐BP greatly limits its practical application. In this study, the amphiphobic FL‐BP is achieved by functionalization of 1H,1H,2H,2H‐perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane (PFDTS) on the surface of FL‐BP. The obtained PFDTS coated FL‐BP (FL‐BP/PFDTS) demonstrates enhanced stability, which is not observed during significant degradation for 2 months in high moisture content environment (95% humidity). Particularly, attributing to the surface amphiphobicity, FL‐BP/PFDTS exhibits strong surface water repellency in the presence of oleic acid (as the contaminant), while other passivation coating layers (such as hydrophilic or hydrophobic coating) become hydrophilicity under such conditions. Owing to this advantage, the obtained FL‐BP/PFDTS demonstrates enhanced stability in high moisture content environment for 2 months, even though the surface is contaminated by oil liquid or other organic solvents (such as oleic acid, CH2Cl2, and N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone). The passivation of FL‐BP by amphiphobic coating provides an effective approach for FL‐BP stabilization toward future applications.

    Abstract The colorimetric biosensors have attracted intensive interest; however, their relatively low sensitivity limits their applications in clinic detection. Herein, we develop an effective colorimetric biosensor based on highly catalytic active Au nanoparticle-decorated Bi₂Se₃ (Au/Bi₂Se₃) nanosheets. Au/Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets are facilely synthesized by simply sonicating Au precursor with the as-synthesized Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets in aqueous solution. Because of the low redox potential and typical topological insulating properties, Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets is capable of providing and accumulating electrons on its surface. Such unique properties of Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets contribute to strong synergistic catalytic effects with Au nanoparticles, particularly when Au/Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets are utilized for catalyzing the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) by NaBH₄ (K = 386.67 s–¹g–¹). The excellent catalytic activity of Au/Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets can be “switched off” upon treatment of antibody of cancer biomarker such as anticarcinoembryonic antibody (anti-CEA). Addition of the corresponding antigen such as cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antibody (CEA) can successively help “switch on” the catalytic activity of Au/Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets, where the resuming degree however depends on the antigen concentration. This cancer biomarker depended catalytic behavior therefore allows Au/Bi₂Se₃ nanosheets to be employed as a colorimetric sensor for detection of a particular cancer biomarker, for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) by NaBH₄ itself involves apparent color change. The sensor shows high sensitivity and selectivity for the cancer biomarker, even for a concentration as low as 160 pg/mL for CEA, which fully satisfies the requirement for real clinical applications. The developed colorimetric sensor shows good generality for detection of different types of cancer biomarkers, such as α-fetoprotein (AFP) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Furthermore, real clinic sample analyzing result shows that the prepared biosensor is efficient for detection of CEA, providing an alternative method in cancer diagnosis.

    Abstract Liquid phase catalytic exchange reactions are mainly used for separation of hydrogen isotopes from liquid water. Based on the carbon-supported Pt and Pt-Fe catalysts, different hydrophobic Pt and Pt-Fe catalysts were fabricated for use in such reactions. The characterization results indicated the Pt-Fe alloy was formed in the Pt(3)Fe/C catalyst prepared using a citric-acid-assisted NaBH(4) reduction method (CA-NaBH(4)). However, there were more Fe oxide species and the Fe components existed independently in the Pt(3)Fe/C catalyst prepared by the modified microwave-irradiated ethyl glycol reduction procedure (MI). Performance tests demonstrated that the activities of the hydrophobic Pt-Fe catalysts with appropriate Fe/Pt ratios, using the MI method, were enhanced because of the addition of Fe. In contrast, the hydrophobic Pt(3)Fe catalyst prepared using the CA-NaBH(4) method had lower catalytic activity than pure Pt. Possible reasons were explained by reaction mechanisms of double routes of LPCE catalysis.
