Vertically Grown Few-Layer MoS2 Nanosheets on Hierarchical Carbon Nanocages for Pseudocapacitive Lithium Storage with Ultrahigh-Rate Capability and Long-Term Recyclability

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is an intensively studied anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to its high theoretical capacity, but it is still confronted by severe challenges of unsatisfactory rate capability and cycle life. Herein, few-layer MoS₂ nanosheets, vertically grown on hierarchical carbon nanocages (hCNC) by a facile hydrothermal method, introduce pseudocapacitive lithium storage owing to the highly exposed MoS₂ basal planes, enhanced conductivity, and facilitated electrolyte access arising from good hybridization with hCNC. Thus, the optimized MoS₂/hCNC exhibits reversible capacities of 1670 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1 A g⁻¹ after 50 cycles, 621 mAh g⁻¹ at 5.0 A g⁻¹ after 500 cycles, and 196 mAh g⁻¹ at 50 A g⁻¹ after 2500 cycles, which are among the best for MoS₂-based anode materials. The specific power and specific energy, which can reach 16.1 kW and 252.8 Wh after 3000 cycles, respectively, indicate great potential in high-power and long-life LIBs. These findings suggest a promising strategy for exploring advanced anode materials with high reversible capacity, high-rate capability, and long-term recyclability.     

Evaluating impacts of fish stock enhancement and biodiversity conservation actions on the livelihoods of small‐scale fishers on the Beijiang River,China

Inappropriate development and overexploitation have seriously degraded aquatic resources in China. Stakeholders identified three fish stock enhancement and biodiversity conservation scenarios for the Beijiang River: S1, increased fish restocking; S2, no fishing season and habitat conservation; and S3, strict pollution control. Potential impacts of these actions on the livelihoods of fishers were evaluated using applied economic modeling. Baseline costs and benefits came from logbooks from 30 fishers and a survey of 90 households in three villages. The financial net benefit for a household was US$1583 (￥11,160) annually, representing a 142% and 387% return on capital and operating costs, respectively. Larger catches associated with S1 and S2 generated a net benefit of US$1651 and US$1822, respectively. Strict pollution control resulting in higher catches (+20%) and lower operating costs (?20%) would increase the net benefit by 15.9% to US$1835 annually. Pollution control would benefit other resource users and is a prerequisite for ecological restoration. Recommendations for Resource Managers

• Stringent pollution control measures are essential to conserve aquatic biodiversity and enhance the livelihoods of fishers but will require considerable public and private sector investment.
• Enhanced fish stocks in the Beijiang River could benefit poor livelihoods but may not be sufficient to lift households out of poverty, aged fishers require government assistance to diversify their livelihoods, access alternative urban employment, and survive with dignity.
• Adopting the economic modeling approach presented here could enable responsible authorities to simultaneously evaluate fish stock enhancement and biodiversity conservation options.
• Broader application of the approach presented here could help ensure small‐scale inland fisheries are managed sustainably and aquatic ecosystems are restored and protected by 2020, in line with Target 6 of the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity Strategic Plan for Biodiversity.

     

Rotationally resolved state-to-state photoelectron study of zirconium monoxide cation (ZrO+)

Using two-colour visible (Vis)–ultraviolet (UV) photoionisation and pulsed field ionisation–photoelectron (PFI–PE) methods, we have obtained cleanly rotationally resolved photoelectron spectra for ZrO⁺(X ²Δ_3/2,5/2; v⁺ = 0, 1, and 2). The rotation assignment of these state-to-state Vis–UV–PFI–PE spectra has allowed the unambiguous determination of the ground state term symmetry for ZrO⁺(X) to be ²Δ_3/2, and the adiabatic ionisation energy of ⁹⁰Zr¹⁶O, IE(⁹⁰Zr¹⁶O) = 54,948.3(8) cm^?1 [6.81272(10) eV]. The symmetry of the ionic ZrO⁺(X ²Δ_3/2) ground state determined here disagrees with that reported in previous experiments. The rotational and vibrational constants determined in this experiment for the ionic ⁹⁰Zr¹⁶O⁺(X ²Δ_3/2) ground state are: B_e⁺ = 0.4343(8) cm^?1 and α_e⁺ = 0.0019(5) cm^?1, and ω_e⁺ = 991.2(8) cm^?1 and ω_e⁺x_e⁺ = 3.5(8) cm^?1; and those for the ionic ⁹⁰Zr¹⁶O⁺(X ²Δ_5/2) excited spin-orbit state are: B_e⁺ = 0.4357(6) cm^?1 and α_e⁺ = 0.0022(4) cm^?1, and ω_e⁺ = 991.9(8) cm^?1 and ω_e⁺x_e⁺ = 3.6(8) cm^?1, respectively. Based on the latter B_e⁺ value, the equilibrium bond distances are determined to be r_e⁺ = 1.691(2) Å for ⁹⁰Zr¹⁶O⁺(X ²Δ_3/2) and r_e⁺ = 1.688(1) Å for ⁹⁰Zr¹⁶O⁺(X ²Δ_5/2). The IE(ZrO) along with the spectroscopic constants obtained here are valuable for benchmarking the ab initio quantum chemical calculations for energetic and structural predictions of ZrO/ZrO⁺.
