FeNi Layered Double‐Hydroxide Nanosheets on a 3D Carbon Network as an Efficient Electrocatalyst for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

An efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution has been prepared via the deposition of iron–nickel layered double‐hydroxide (FeNi‐LDH) nanosheets on 3D carbon network as the building scaffold in a one‐step hydrothermal process. It is found that upon the assembling of FeNi‐LDH nanosheets with graphene into the 3D cross‐linked hybrid, the FeNi‐LDH/graphene hybrid features a well‐improved catalytic activity towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a good stability during the long‐term cycling experiment. Moreover, the hybrid catalyst is also active in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), qualifying it as a new type of bifunctional catalyst that can work in metal–air batteries.     

Time-Dependent Methane Diffusion Behavior in Coal: Measurement and Modeling

In-depth understanding of how methane diffuses in porous media like coal is critical for enhanced coalbed methane recovery and coal seam methane drainage. However, the classic unipore gas diffusion model can only describe methane diffusion behavior in coal at the early time diffusion stage. Describing the whole methane diffusion behavior in coal has not been reasonably addressed in the coalbed methane field. Considering the large surface-to-volume ratio of coal, the authors proposed a time-dependent gas diffusion model to describe the whole diffusion process. This work first proposed a power–law relationship between diffusion coefficient and time according to previous studies of the time-dependent gas diffusion process in porous media. Then, both the analytical solution and its approximation solution for the time-dependent gas diffusion model were derived. Six methane diffusion tests in crushed coal were conducted to validate the proposed model under different pressures (0.5, 1.5, 2.5 MPa) and temperatures (20 and \(30\,{^{\circ }}\hbox {C}\)). Modeling results show that the time-dependent gas diffusion model is superior to the classic unipore gas diffusion model for describing the whole methane diffusion process in coal. Increasing temperature always accelerates methane diffusion in coal; the higher the temperature the larger the diffusion coefficient.

The complex obtained in-situ from the ligand with copper(II) bromide (CuBr₂) in a 2:1 acetonitrile/water mixture, selectively catalyzes the aerobic oxidation of primary benzylic and allylic alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes, and no over-oxidation products are detected.     

An aqueous zinc-ion hybrid super-capacitor for achieving ultrahigh-volumetric energy density

Zinc-ion hybrid super-capacitors are regarded as promising safe energy storage systems. However, the relatively low volumetric energy density has become the main bottlenecks in practical applications of portable electronic devices. In this work, the zinc-ion hybrid super-capacitor with high volumetric energy density and superb cycle stability had been constructed which employing the high-density three-dimensional graphene hydrogel as cathode and Zn foil used as anode in 1 mol/L ZnSO₄ electrolyte. Benefiting from the abundant ion transport paths and the abundant active sites for graphene hydrogel with high density and porous structure, the zinc-ion hybrid super-capacitor exhibited an extremely high volumetric energy density of 118.42 Wh/L and a superb power density of 24.00 kW/L, as well as an excellent long cycle life (80% retention after 30,000 cycles at 10 A/g), which was superior to the volumetric energy density of the reported zinc-ion hybrid super-capacitors. This device, based on the fast ion adsorption/desorption on the capacitor-type graphene cathode and reversible Zn²⁺ plating/stripping on the battery-type Zn anode, which will inspire the development of zinc-ion hybrid super-capacitor in miniaturized devices.     

Dual‐Shelled RbLi(Li3SiO4)2:Eu2+@Al2O3@ODTMS Phosphor as a Stable Green Emitter for High‐Power LED Backlights

The stability of luminescent materials is a key factor for the practical application in white light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). Poor chemical stability of narrow‐band green‐emitting RbLi(Li₃SiO₄)₂:Eu²⁺ (RLSO:Eu²⁺) phosphor hinders their further commercialization even if they have excellent stability against thermal quenching. Herein, we propose an efficient protection scheme by combining the surface coating of amorphous Al₂O₃ and hydrophobic modification by octadecyltrimethoxysilane (ODTMS) to construct the moisture‐resistant dual‐shelled RLSO:Eu²⁺@Al₂O₃@ODTMS composite. The growth mechanisms of both the Al₂O₃ inorganic layer and the silane organic layer on the phosphor surface are investigated. The results remarkably improve the water‐stability of this narrow‐band green emitter. The evaluation of the white LED by employing this composite as the green component demonstrates that RLSO:Eu²⁺@Al₂O₃@ODTMS is a promising candidate for the high‐performance display backlights, and this dual‐shelled strategy provides an alternative method to improve the moisture‐resistant property of humidity‐sensitive phosphors.     

Metal–Organic Framework (MOF)-Based Materials as Heterogeneous Catalysts for C−H Bond Activation

Converting light hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, propane, and cyclohexane into value-added chemicals and fuel products by means of direct C−H functionalization is an attractive method in the petrochemical industry. As they emerge as a relatively new class of porous solid materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are appealing as single-site heterogeneous catalysts or catalytic supports for C−H bond activation. In contrast to the traditional microporous and mesoporous materials, MOFs feature high porosity, functional tunability, and molecular-level characterization for the study of structure–property relationships. These virtues make MOFs ideal platforms to develop catalysts for C−H activation with high catalytic activity, selectivity, and recyclability under relatively mild reaction conditions. This review highlights the research aimed at the implementation of MOFs as single-site heterogeneous catalysts for C−H bond activation. It provides insight into the rational design and synthesis of three types of stable MOF catalysts for C−H bond activation, that is, i) metal nodes as catalytic sites, ii) the incorporation of catalytic sites into organic struts, and iii) the incorporation of catalytically active guest species into pores of MOFs. Here, the rational design and synthesis of MOF catalysts that lead to the distinct catalytic property for C−H bond activation are discussed along with the post-synthesis of MOFs, intriguing functions with MOF catalysts, and microenvironments that lead to the distinct catalytic properties of MOF catalysts.
