Mesoporous carbon matrix with open pore structure, short diffusion length, and large pore size can favor the in-pore immobilization of active species and facilitate mass diffusion during catalytic reactions. However, a ...

Multidimensional bimetallic Pt-based nanoarchitectonics are highly promising in electrochemical energy conversion technologies because of their fancy structural merits and accessible active sites; however, hitherto their ...

Plant polyphenol-based coordination polymers (CPs) with ultra-small particle size and tailorable compositions are highly desired in biomedical applications, but their synthesis is still challenging due to the sophisticated ...

In this study, Ti3C2Tx (MXene) was used to enhance the fouling resistance of FO flat-thin film membranes. Mixed-matrix Ti3C2Tx (MXene)/ cellulose acetate (CA) membranes with different (wt%) loading of MXene were fabricated ...

The increasing demand for energy and the reducing supply of conventional energy storage devices have inspired interest to design environmentally-friendly, abundant, and cheap materials for energy storage applications. ...

Incorporation of heteroatoms into the framework of zeolites has become a significant strategy to improve their performance in catalysis and adsorption, because the obtained heteroatom zeolites exhibit quite different ...

A novel non-precious multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-supported metal oxide electrocatalyst was developed for methanol electrooxidation in alkaline medium. The catalyst was fabricated by simultaneous electrodeposition ...

A type of freestanding, light-weight eggshell membrane-based electrode is demonstrated for supercapacitors and for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis. As a widely available daily waste, eggshell membranes have unique ...

N-doped mesoporous carbon materials are greatly useful in adsorption, catalysis and energy storage. Controlled synthesis of such materials with both high nitrogen content and desired pore structures remains a great challenge. ...

The glucose electrooxidation reaction at NiOx nanoparticles loaded on a nitrogen-doped carbon nanofber (N-CNF)-modifed glassy carbon electrode (NiOx@N-CNF/GCE) in an alkaline medium was studied. The N-CNF was produced by ...
