    Abstract Well-dispersed and uniform porous ellipsoidal-shaped bismuth oxyhalides (nominal composition: 80%BiOCl/20%BiOI) microspheres were obtained by a facile solvothermal method, in which process the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as template agent was found to be crucial. At 150 °C, elliptical porous particles with a particle size of 0.79 μm were formed. Instead of forming solid solutions, the study of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) shows that the prepared 80%BiOCl/20%BiOI microspheres are composite of BiOCl and BiOI in nature and the obtained crystallite size is about 5.6 nm. The optical bandgap of 80%BiOCl/20%BiOI was measured to be 2.93 eV, which is between the bandgap values of BiOCl and BiOI. The 80%BiOCl/20%BiOI microspheres were able to decompose various organic dyes (rhodamine B-RhB, methyl orange-MO, methylene blue-MB, methyl violet-MV) under an illuminated condition with the degradation rate in the order of RhB > MB > MV > MO, and 98% of RhB can be degraded in 90 min. Radical scavenger tests showed that photogenerated holes are the main active species for the photocatalytic decomposition of all of the tested organic dyes. Our results show that the obtained porous ellipsoidal-shaped 80%BiOCl/20%BiOI microspheres are promising for the degradation of various organic pollutants under the illumination of visible light.

    Abstract Two-dimensional nanostructures have a wide range of applications in various kinds of fields. However, the current exfoliation technology still needs to be improved for large-scale production. Here, a simple, universal two-step strategy, “ball-milling insertion and pure-water exfoliation”, is proposed to produce high quality ultrathin amorphous 2D nanosheets with a thickness of ∼1 nm. Such a method is available not only for a single layered material, but is extendable to its composites. The resulting amorphous multiphase heterostructure nanosheets with multiple interfaces are employed for fabricating multifunctional separators in lithium-sulfur batteries, which show an improved cycling stability at a high current of 1 A g⁻¹ and a high rate capability, due to an interfacial synergetic effect. Besides, the modified separators exhibit enhanced mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.

    Abstract In this study, a ceria (CeO₂) support, synthesized using a hydrothermal method, was decorated with nano-sized Ni-particles using an impregnation method. A micro-tubular solid oxide fuel cell (MTSOFC) was integrated with a corundum tube, in which the Ni-CeO₂ (10 wt% Ni) served as the catalyst for partial oxidation (POX). Using propane and air, there was no noticeable deactivation in the MTSOFC over a 48-h period. The maximum power density (MPD) was 0.57 W cm ⁻² at 700°C using propane and air (12.3 vol% propane), which is 0.01 W cm⁻² higher than the cell using 20 vol% of hydrogen (0.56 W cm ⁻²). When using propane and air as fuel and operating at 700°C, MPD values for intermediate and inlet current collector modes were 0.57 and 0.48 W cm⁻², respectively. Carbon deposition at the fuel inlet was determined to be the primary cause of low current collection efficiency.

    Abstract A co-fuel channel microtubular solid oxide fuel/electrolysis cell is successfully fabricated by adding an insulating ceramic connector. The active electrode area of both of the abovementioned cells is approximately 10.73 cm². Hydrogen-steam mixtures act as either reactants or products in the ceramic tubes. A ring-like anodic current collector is located in the middle of the anode, while silver paste is coated on the cathode as a cathodic current collector. When operating the cells at 750 ℃, 0.6 A cm⁻² at 0.6 V and 1.0 A cm⁻² at 1.7 V are achieved for the SOFC and SOEC, respectively. By using the co-fuel channel, the power generation of the SOFC is 3.9 W, while the simultaneous power consumption of the SOEC is 18.2 W. After 11 hours of operation, no microcracks were observed, and the anode-electrolyte interface structure exhibited no Ni agglomeration or active phase loss.

    Abstract A current collecting window (0.4 cm²), without an electrolyte and cathode, is located in the middle of an anode and connected electrically to the cathode of another microtubular solid oxide fuel cell (MTSOFC) when building a short stack. No apparent open-circuit voltage (OCV) drops were observed during 31 thermal cycles for an 8-cell stack using H₂ and syngas. Furthermore, 24.1, 53.6 and 103.5 W power levels are achieved employing this current collecting mode at 700 °C for an 8, 10 and 20-cell stack, respectively. The propane-fuelled 8-cell stack has a maximum power density (MPD) of 0.30 W cm⁻² when integrated with a catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX) reformer, at a flow rate of 0.32 g min⁻¹ of propane. A Pt-Ru nanoparticle is fabricated by impregnation treatment of the alumina honeycomb ceramic support. The Pt-based catalyst, with an average size of ∼10.0 nm, is well distributed on the surface of the honeycomb ceramic channel. Moreover, Pt-Ru/Al₂O₃, as a CPOX catalyst, exhibits high propane conversions (94.2%) at 700 °C.

    Abstract Vertically-oriented zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires were synthesized on glass and silicon substrates by Pulsed Laser Deposition and without the use of a catalyst. An intermediate c-axis oriented nanotextured ZnO seed layer in the form of nanowall network with honey comb structure allows the growth of high quality, self-forming, and vertically-oriented nanowires at relatively low temperature (<400 °C) and under argon atmosphere at high pressure (>5 Torr). Many parameters were shown to affect the growth of the ZnO nanowires such as gas pressure, substrate-target distance, and laser energy. Growth of a c-axis-crystalline array of nanowires growing vertically from the energetically favorable sites on the seed layer is observed. Nucleation occurs due to the matching lattice structure and the polar nature of the ZnO seed layer. Morphological, structural, and optical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed highly c-axis aligned nanowires along the (002) crystal plane. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements showed a strong and narrow bandwidth of Ultraviolet (UV) emission, which shifts to lower wavelength with the increase of pressure.

    Abstract NiMoS4 with an amorphous phase was deposited on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to form a NiMoS4–rGO composite through a facile hydrothermal process. To maximize the loading of active materials, interdigitated electrodes were patterned on a three-dimensional (3D) nickel foam using direct-laser cutting. The active material (NiMoS4–rGO) was applied into the interdigitated nickel foam collector, which exhibits a high capacitance (1000 F g–1 at 1 A g–1) in an ionic liquid electrolyte and superior cycling performance (specific capacity retention of 96.05% at 8 A g–1over 5000 cycles). Owing to the synergistic effect of three-dimensional nickel foam with the amorphous structured NiMoS4–rGO, the coplanar 3D micro-supercapacitor exhibits a high energy density of 69.51 W h kg–1 at a power density of 849.99 W kg–1, as well as an exceptional cycle performance (94.06% retained over 7000 cycles). The comprehensive performance of the coplanar hybrid supercapacitor developed in this study is superior in comparison with most of the previously reported ones.

    Abstract Two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface between two insulating perovskite oxides has attracted much interest for both fundamental physics and potential applications. Here, we report the discovery of a new 2DEG formed at the interface between spinel MgAl₂O₄ and perovskite SrTiO₃. Transport measurements, electron microscopy imaging, and first-principles calculations reveal that the interfacial 2DEG is closely related to the symmetry breaking at the MgAl₂O₄/SrTiO₃ interface. The critical film thickness for the insulator-to-metal transition is approximately 32 Å, which is twice as thick as that reported on the widely studied LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃ system. Scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging indicates the formation of interfacial Ti–Al antisite defects with a thickness of ∼4 Å. First-principles density functional theory calculations indicate that the coexistence of the antisite defects and surface oxygen vacancies may explain the formation of interfacial 2DEG as well as the observed critical film thickness. The discovery of 2DEG at the spinel/perovskite interface introduces a new material platform for designing oxide interfaces with desired characteristics.

    Abstract Using Li-carbon composites as anodes in high-energy-density lithium batteries leads to significant improvements in cycling life and safety compared with lithium metal. Li₂C₂ consisting of dumbbell anions is the most thermodynamically stable phase in the family of lithium-carbon materials, however its low conductivity is a critical obstacle to the practical applications. sp²-hybridizing carbon is one promising option for unique electronic structures. Here, Li₂C₂ alloy nanosheets composed of sp²-hybridized carbon atoms are directly formed from Li element and carbon during ball milling process, presenting a metallic feature at ambient conditions. After removing lithium from these alloy nanosheets, amorphous carbon ultrathin nanosheets are obtained. A vertically aligned Li₂C₂ nanosheet foil prepared by pressing the milled powder, can be used as free-standing, binder-free electrodes for fabricating various types of lithium batteries, and their excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to a highly reversible Li atoms uptake in amorphous carbon nanosheets.
