As a type of energy storage device between traditional capacitors and batteries, the supercapacitor has advantages saving environmental protection, high power density, fast charging discharging speed, long cycle life, so forth. One key factors affecting performance is electrode material. Carbon materials, such as carbon nanotube, graphene, activated carbon, nanocage, are most widely concerned i...

Zn1?xCdxS catalysts with Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) as the precursor were successfully prepared by ion exchange method, and ability electrochemical properties of a series ZIF-8, ZnS in photocatalytic degradation 2-CP TC investigated. Doping Cd ions was able to modulate band gap width improve utilization visible light photocatalyst. The nanocage hollow structure have better respons...

Abstract Tailoring the nanostructure/morphology and chemical composition is important to regulate electronic configuration of electrocatalysts thus enhance their performance for water urea electrolysis. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbon-decorated tricomponent metal phosphides FeP 4 nanotube@Ni-Co-P nanocage (NC-FNCP) with unique nested hollow architectures are fabricated by a self-sacrifice templat...

Unveiling the pore-size performance of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is imperative for controllable design sophisticated catalysts. Herein, UiO-66 with distinct macropores and mesopores were intentionally created served as substrates to create advanced CdS/UiO-66 The pore size impacted spatial distribution CdS nanoparticles (NPs): tended deposit on external surface mesoporous UiO-66, but spon...

The hydrogen adsorption sites in MOF5 were determined using neutron powder diffraction along with first-principles calculations. The metal-oxide cluster is primarily responsible for the adsorption while the organic linker plays only a secondary role. Equally important, at low temperatures and high-concentration, molecules form unique interlinked high-symmetry nanoclusters with intermolecular di...

Two neutral hexanuclear trigonal prismatic cage molecules have been synthesized by coupling two planar triangular M3pz3-panels, M = Cu(I) and Ag(I), in eclipsed geometry. The ~230 Å(3) cage volume can be either vacant or occupied by neutral guests. The crystal structures of the M6-cyclohexane and Ag6-S8 host-guest species have been determined.
