Design Strategies for High-Performance Aqueous Zn/Organic Batteries

Organic electroactive compounds are attractive to serve as the cathode materials of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) because of their resource renewability, environmentally friendliness and structural diversity. Up to now, various organic electrode materials have been developed and different redox mechanisms are observed in aqueous Zn/organic battery systems. In this Minireview, we present the recent developments in the energy storage mechanisms and design of the organic electrode materials of aqueous ZIBs, including carbonyl compounds, imine compounds, conductive polymers, nitronyl nitroxides, organosulfur polymers and triphenylamine derivatives. Furthermore, we highlight the design strategies to improve their electrochemical performance in the aspects of specific capacity, output voltage, cycle life and rate capability. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives of aqueous Zn/organic batteries.

基于钴离子介导信号转换的抗坏血酸比色分析

抗坏血酸是许多生化过程所必需的一种生物小分子。借助于羟基氧化钴纳米片的氧化性和钴离子与硫氰酸根离子之间强的螯合作用,本研究首次报道了一种基于钴离子信号转换的新方法用于抗坏血酸的比色分析。在抗坏血酸存在时,羟基氧化钴纳米片被还原降解产生二价钴离子,钴离子与硫氰酸根离子之间通过螯合作用生成蓝色的[Co(NCS)₄]^_2-阴离子络合物,在625 nm处产生可见吸收信号。实验首先对羟基氧化钴纳米片与抗坏血酸的反应时间、硫氰酸铵和吐温-80的加入量等实验参数进行了优化,当反应时间为5 min,硫氰酸铵(3 mol/L)和吐温-80(10%, w%)的加入体积分别为30 μL和80 μL时,检测体产生最强的吸收信号。在优化的条件下,随着抗坏血酸浓度的增加,检测体系在625 nm处的吸收值线性增强,在0.03～0.45 mmol/L浓度范围内,检测体系在625 nm处的吸收值与AA浓度呈良好的线性关系,线性方程为A₆₂₅=0.638C (mmol/L)+0.042,相关系数R=0.993,检测限(3S/N)为1.5 μmol/L。     

Electrochemistry in Carbon‐based Quantum Dots

Electrochemistry belongs to an important branch of chemistry that deals with the chemical changes produced by electricity and the production of electricity by chemical changes. Therefore, it can not only act a powerful tool for materials synthesis, but also offer an effective platform for sensing and catalysis. As extraordinary zero‐dimensional materials, carbon‐based quantum dots (CQDs) have been attracting tremendous attention due to their excellent properties such as good chemical stability, environmental friendliness, nontoxicity and abundant resources. Compared with the traditional methods for the preparation of CQDs, electrochemical (EC) methods offer advantages of simple instrumentation, mild reaction conditions, low cost and mass production. In return, CQDs could provide cost‐effective, environmentally friendly, biocompatible, stable and easily‐functionalizable probes, modifiers and catalysts for EC sensing. However, no specific review has been presented to systematically summarize both aspects until now. In this review, the EC preparation methods of CQDs are critically discussed focusing on CQDs. We further emphasize the applications of CQDs in EC sensors, electrocatalysis, biofuel cells and EC flexible devices. This review will further the experimental and theoretical understanding of the challenges and future prospective in this field, open new directions on exploring new advanced CQDs in EC to meet the high demands in diverse applications.
