摘要：
Binder-free CeO2 coated/Pd-decorated CuxO nanowires (CuxO/Pd/CeO2_NWs) based on Cu foam were synthe-sized using a four-step process: electrochemical nanoengineering for preparing Cu nanowires, galvanic replacement between Cu nanowires and H2PdCl4, soaking in cerous nitrate solution and followed thermal annealing. Due to the optimized Pd thin layer, followed coating of the moisture-blocking CeO2 overlayer, the binder-free Pd-decorated CuxO nanowires exhibit a prominently enhanced sensing properties to H2S. The CuxO/ Pd/CeO2_NWs sensor exhibits a high response of 36.69 to 50 ppm H2S with rapid response/recovery speed (48.9 s/59.1 s), good selectivity and humidity-independent sensing properties at room temperature. Therefore, this work shows promising potential in detecting H2S and a new insight is opened up in designing binder-free devices based on metal substrate for indoor/outdoor environmental monitoring regardless of humidity fluctuations.

摘要：
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising due to their high theoretical energy density and intrinsic safety, and the natural abundance of Zn. Since low voltage is an intrinsic shortage of AZIBs, achieving super‐high capacity of cathode materials is a vital way to realize high practical energy density, which however remains a huge challenge. Herein, the capacity increase of classical vanadium oxide cathode is predicted via designing atomic thickness of 2D structure to introduce abundant Zn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> storage sites based on density functional theory (DFT) calculation; then graphene‐analogous V<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>·nH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O (GAVOH) with only few atomic layers is fabricated, realizing a record capacity of 714mAhg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>. Pseudocapacitive effect is unveiled to mainly contribute to the super‐high capacity due to the highly exposed GAVOH external surface. In situ Raman and synchrotron X‐ray techniques unambiguously uncover the Zn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> storage mechanism. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are further introduced to design GAVOH‐CNTs gel ink for large‐scale cathode fabrication. The hybrid cathode demonstrates ultra‐stable cycling and excellent rate capability and delivers a high energy density of 476Whkg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> at 76Wkg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>; 228Whkg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> is still retained at high mass loading of 10.2mgcm<jats:sup>−2</jats:sup>. This work provides inspiration for breaking the capacity limit of cathode in AZIBs.</jats:p>

摘要：
As one of the most mature battery systems, the silver-zinc battery holds huge promise in the field of aqueous rechargeable batteries due to superior performance, high safety and environmental friendliness. It is urgent to improve the areal capacity of silver-zinc batteries so far. This study reports a novel Cu-supported Ag Nanowires (Cu@AgNAs1-5: abbreviation of Cu@AgNAs1, Cu@AgNAs2, Cu@AgNAs3, Cu@AgNAs4 and Cu@AgNAs5) as binder-free cathodes for high performance rechargeable aqueous silver-zinc batteries. Cu@AgNAs1-5 are successfully prepared by two steps of electrochemical nanoengineering and mild galvanic replacement between Cu and [Ag(NH3)(2)](+) chelate ions under green solution. With ultrahigh Ag loading of above 81 mg cm(-2), the Cu@AgNAs5 cathode achieves ultrahigh areal capacity of above 36 mAh cm(-2) at current density of 10 mA cm(-2). Benefiting from synergistic effect of Ag and Cu, multiply twinned structure accompanied by lattice defections (such as lattice distortion, mismatch and dislocation) and heterostructures, the Cu@AgNAs1-5 cathodes achieve excellent Ag utilization and cycling stability. Furthermore, the aqueous rechargeable Cu@AgNAs5-Zn battery demonstrates an excellent areal capacity of 36.80 mAh cm(-2) at 10 mA cm(-2). This work offers a promising pathway to greatly enhance areal capacity of bimetallic nanostructure-based electrodes and the Cu@AgNAs1-5-Zn batteries are attractive for large-scale energy-storage application.

摘要：
The coating of silica (SiO2) on quantum dots (QDs) has been widely studied, because SiO2 can protect QDs from the damages of moisture, radiation, and heat. Conventional SiO2 coating methods for QDs are usually performed in aqueous or emulsion solutions, which require the addition of water for the hydrolysis of SiO2 precursors and lead to the photoluminescence (PL) quenching of QDs. To address this issue, a novel SiO2 coating approach on single particle level was developed by the thermally forcing decomposition of tetraethyl orthosilicate in toluene. The CdSe/CdS/ZnS:Al@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared without decreasing the original PL quantum yield (QY), which exhibited much better photo and thermal stability in comparison with uncoated CdSe/CdS/ZnS:Al QDs. Furthermore, due to the natural formation of silanol groups on the SiO2 shell, CdSe/CdS/ZnS:Al@SiO2 NPs present not only good solubility but also excellent room temperature stability in phosphate buffer saline solution for several months.

摘要：
The operating voltage of aqueous hybrid capacitors are generally limited to 2 V due to the decomposition of water, which significantly impede the progress of energy density. Herein, the porous low-crystalline FeOx nanorod array on carbon cloth is prepared by the novel electrochemical Li+ pre-insertion method, and a 2.4 V high-voltage aqueous hybrid capacitor device is successfully obtained after matching with the nickel doped (Ni0.25Mn0.75)(3)O-4@PPy nanoprisms array. The low-crystalline structure of FeOx preserved during the first Li+ insertion and space created via the elimination of low-crystalline Li2O dramatically provides sufficient electronic and ionic transfer channels. In addition, surface polypyrrole (PPy) stabilization is employed to further enhance electron conductivity and electrode stabilization. Benefitting from increasing active sites, fast ion diffusion and electron transfer the obtained lowcrystalline FeOx@PPy electrode exhibits improved electrochemical performance, especially for capacitance and stability. Moreover, the aqueous hybrid capacitors (Ni0.2.5Mn0.75)(3)O-4@FFy//FeOx@PPy device delivers a high energy density of 72.4 Wh kg(-1) with the ultra-high voltage, and admirable cycling stability (94.7% retention after 4000 cycles). Our work highlights the novel electrochemical Li+ pre-insertion method to achieve superior low-crystalline electrodes materials and designs the high-voltage aqueous hybrid energy storage devices.
