As renewable energy is becoming a critical source to meet the global demand, electrochemical storage devices become indispensable for efficient and reliable supply. The electrode material key factor determining capacity power delivery of devices. Carbon-based materials are emerging as viable candidate electrodes, yet their low densities impede development advanced materials. Nanoparticle decora...

Background: The utilization of pesticides like AlP has expanded in the current years and enhanced the amount and nature of horticultural items in various developing nations. Considering that in addiction research centers, many cases of suicide with rice tablet have been observed and various methods have been proposed for the treatment, it was decided to examine different methods and to finally ...

As anodes for metal-ion batteries, metal phosphides usually suffer from severe capacity degradation because of their huge volume expansion and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), especially potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). To address these issues, this study proposes amorphous phosphates acting as buffer materials. Ten types phosphide composites embedded with in situ-formed are prepared...

Phosphorus-rich transition metal phosphides (TMPs) are considered efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, actual activity of P-rich TMPs is not as good expected because undesirable electronic structure. Transition doping has been shown to be effective in improving HER both acid and alkaline media, but underlying mechanism ambiguous, especially TMPs. Herein...

Efficient depolymerization of C–O linkages is essential for converting lignin into fuels and higher value-added chemicals. In this work, CoRuP/SiO2, an amorphous Ru-Co phosphide composite, was fabricated the efficient hydrogenolysis ether linkages. The 4–O–5 α–O–4 containing lignin-related compounds, such as diphenyl ether, benzyl phenyl 3-methyl dibenzyl are selected representatives in lignin....

Rationally designed oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts with structural and compositional superiorities are essential for energy-related electrocatalytic techniques. Transition-metal phosphides have been used as promising electrocatalysts OER. Incorporating heteroatoms into the lattice can induce distortion redistribution of electron density, consequently modifying electronic structure im...

The development of low-cost, robust and efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts is still a pursuit for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, self-standing electrocatalyst, Ni2P/CoP nanosheet, was fabricated directly on three-dimensional Ni foams by two facile steps, which illustrated both high activity stability HER in different electrolytes. Benefiting from porous structures nanosh...
