Phosphorus/carbon (P/C) composites as promising potassium-ion storage materials have been extensively investigated for its compound superiorities of high specific capacity and favorable electronic conductivity. However, the effects of different chemical bonding states between P and the carbon matrix for potassium-ion storage and cycling performance still need to be investigated. Herein, three P/C composites with different chemical bonding states were successfully fabricated through simply ball-milling red P with carboxylic group carbon nanotubes (CGCNTs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and reduced carboxylic group carbon nanotubes (RCGCNTs), respectively. When used as potassium-ion battery (PIB) anodes, the red P and CGCNT (P-CGCNT) composite deliver the most outstanding cycling stability (402.6 mAh g-1 over 110 cycles) with a favorable capacity retention of 68.26% at a current density of 0.1 A g-1, much higher than that of the phosphorus-CNT (P-CNT) composite (297.5 mAh g-1 and 50.40%). Based on the results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical performance, we propose that the existence of a carboxyl functional group will be instrumental for the formation of the P-O-C bond. More importantly, when compared with the P-C bond, the P-O-C bond can lead to a higher reversible capacity and a better long-term cycling stability as a result of the more robust bonding energy of the P-O-C bond (585 KJ mol-1) than that of the P-C bond (264 kJ mol-1). This work provides some insights into designing high-performance P anodes for PIBs.Transparent electronics continues to revolutionize the way we perceive futuristic devices to be. In this work, we propose a technologically advanced volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor in the form of a thin-film transparent display fabricated using fluorinated SnO2 films. A solution-processed method for surface fluorination of SnO2 films using Selectfluor as a fluorinating agent has been developed. The doped fluorine was optimized to be less then 1%, resulting in a significant increase in conductivity and reduction in persistent photoconductivity accompanied by a faster decay of the photogenerated charge carriers. A combination of these modified properties, together with the intrinsic sensing ability of SnO2, was exploited in designing a transparent display sensor for ppm-level detection of VOCs at an operating temperature of merely 150 °C. MEK phosphorylation Even a transparent metal mesh heater is integrated with the sensor for ease of operation, portability, and less power usage. A sensor reset method is developed while shortening the UV exposure time, enabling complete sensor recovery at low operating temperatures. The sensor is tested toward a variety of polar and nonpolar VOCs (amines, alcohols, carbonyls, alkanes, halo-alkanes, and esters), and it exhibits an easily differentiable response with sensitivity in line with the electron-donating tendency of the functional group present. This work opens up the door for multiplexed sensor arrays with the ability to detect and analyze multiple VOCs with specificity.Hydrogen economy is one of the most promising candidates to replace the current energy system on depleting fossil fuels. As a clean and sustainable way to produce hydrogen, electrocatalytic water splitting attracts ever-increasing interest from the research community. Although the wide application of platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts is limited because of the scarcity and high cost toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the non-PGM electrocatalysts usually suffer from unsatisfactory activity and poor durability. In this work, we report an active and durable V-doped Ni5P4 electrocatalyst that can be used for all-pH HER. Particularly, V-Ni5P4 has an HER activity that is comparable to that of Pt in preferred alkaline media, with overpotentials as low as 13 mV and 295 mV at current densities of 10 and 1000 mA cm-2, respectively. The low-cost V-Ni5P4 that enables ultrahigh current density (i.e., at the level of A cm-2) would be of great interest to the hydrogen production industry.Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is considered as one of the ideal sensing materials for high-performance room-temperature gas sensors owing to its large specific surface areas, numerous active sites, and high carrier mobility. However, the sensing performance cannot be maximized due to the inevitable sheet stacking and agglomeration. Herein, we firstdemonstrate multichannel room-temperature gas sensors using magnetic-field-induced alignment of three-dimensional (3D) Fe3O4@SiO2@rGO core-shell spheres. Moreover, the sensing channels composed of spheres can be tailored by changing the concentration of spheres and the magnetic field. Experimental results suggest that the multichannel 3D Fe3O4@SiO2@rGO sensor exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity of 34.41 with a good response stability and high selectivity toward 5 ppm of NO2 at room temperature, which is ca. 7.96 times higher than that of the random 3D rGO gas sensor. The high performance can be mainly ascribed to a full utilization of their large specific surface area and active sites of rGO nanosheets. We believe that our results not only contribute to the development of high-performance rGO-based sensing devices, but also provide a general approach to maximize the sensing performance of other nanomaterials.Fabrication of functional devices that require a high-temperature annealing process on a thin, temperature-sensitive substrate is a long-standing, crucial issue in flexible electronics. Herein, we propose a transfer-free laser lift-off method to directly fabricate lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric sensors that commonly undergo a high-temperature annealing (∼650 °C) on ubiquitous flexible substrates, including polyimide (∼300 °C), polyethylene terephthalate (∼120 °C), and polydimethylsiloxane (∼150 °C). The method includes the steps of fabricating sensors, encapsulating a flexible substrate, and peeling off the device by melting the sacrificial PZT layer at the interface with a sapphire glass. The appropriate fluence of laser energy has been figured out to avoid inadequate stripping or damage of the device. In addition, a process window for reliable stripping of the device has been established among the laser fluence and the thickness of the sacrificial layer and the supporting substrate. Furthermore, the capability of the newly proposed technique has been verified and expanded by successfully integrating several sensors that need skillful low-temperature heating treatment on top of a flexible supporting substrate accordingly before stripping.
