High performance asymmetric supercapacitor based on 3D microsphere-like 1T-MoS2 with high 1T phase content

1T phase molybdenum disulfide (1T-MoS₂) has aroused extensive concern in energy storage devices such as supercapacitors due to its large interlayer spacing, high conductivity and good hydrophilicity. However, it is struggle to synthesize 1T-MoS₂ with stable 1T phase with high content. Herein, Ammonium ion intercalation molybdenum disulfide (A-MoS₂) with high 1T content and stable 3D microsphere structure was successfully synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. We explained the feasibility of ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) intercalation through density functional theory (DFT) calculations and proved the successful intercalation of NH₄⁺ by XRD and XPS. Through XPS fitting, the 1T phase content is calculated as high as 83.1%. The as-prepared A-MoS₂ presents a stable 3D microsphere structure with the interlayer spacing expanded to 0.93 nm, which provides a wide ion diffusion channel that allows ions to pass through quickly. Moreover, the high 1T content increases the hydrophilicity of MoS₂, thereby improving the wettability of the electrode, which contributes to the interaction between the electrolyte and electrode. In 1 M Na₂SO₄, A-MoS₂ electrode material displays high specific capacitance of 228 F g^?1 at 5 mV s^?1 and retains 127 F g^?1 at 80 mV s^?1, which proves the good rate capability. Furthermore, the assembled α-MnO₂//A-MoS₂ asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) displayed a wide operating voltage of 2.1 V. The assembled ASC displays a high energy density of 35.8 Wh?kg^?1 at a power density of 525.0 W kg^?1, which indicates excellent energy storage performance.     

Stress-deformable state of isotropic double curved shell with internal cracks and a circular hole

This work is devoted to the stress–strain state of isotropic double curved shell with defect system. The construction is weakened by two non-through thickness (internal) cracks of different length and by a circular hole located between cracks. In this study we use the line-spring model. Within the framework of this model cracks are modeled as mathematical cuts of shell’s middle surface. This leads to a two-dimensional problem. The problem is reduced to a system of eight boundary integral equations. To ensure the uniqueness of solution an additional equation is added. In the numerical solution of the problem special quadrature formulas for singular integrals of Cauchy type and the finite difference method are applied. The influence of defects on each other for double curved shell has been investigated. The given theoretical results can be used for the calculation of structural elements with holes, cracks on the strength and fracture toughness in various branches of engineering.     

Ag–Cu–BTC prepared by postsynthetic exchange as effective catalyst for selective oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde

A mixed-node MOF catalyst Ag–Cu–BTC was prepared by postsynthetic exchange (PSE) method. It is believed that PSE method can realize isomorphous replacement of Ag ion to framework Cu ion in Cu–BTC successfully. The catalytic performance of Ag–Cu–BTC was investigated via selective oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde by molecular oxygen in the absence of solvent and initiator. This catalyst exhibits good catalytic performance: on the premise of keeping highly selective catalysis of Cu–BTC for toluene oxidizing to benzaldehyde, the introduction of Ag (Ag content is 2.76 wt.%) can promote toluene conversion from 6.5% to 12.7%.     

Interface engineering of copper-cobalt based heterostructure as bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting

It is of great significance to develop highly active and cost-effective electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline solution. Herein, we report an interface engineering strategy to fabricate 3D hierarchical CuCo₂O₄@CuCo₂S₄ heterostructure catalysts with efficient synergistic effects for water splitting. Owing to the special nano-architectures with abundant active interfaces, the as-prepared CuCo₂O₄@CuCo₂S₄ catalysts exhibit superior electrochemical activity and prominent electrochemical stability, with a small overpotential of 240 and 101 mV for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm⁻², respectively. Remarkably, the CuCo₂O₄@CuCo₂S₄ materials directly applied as both anode and cathode electrode demonstrate excellent water splitting performance, achieving 10 mA cm⁻² at a low cell voltage of only 1.53 V, outperforming the integrated state-of-the-art RuO₂||Pt/C couple (1.56 V). Moreover, density functional theory calculations suggest that the excellent overall water splitting property of CuCo₂O₄@CuCo₂S₄ is attributed to a large amount of hierarchical hetero-interfaces, giving rise to effective adsorption and cleavage of H₂O molecules on the catalyst surface. This work represents a general strategy to exploit efficient and stable hybrid electrocatalysts for renewable energy applications by rational catalyst interface engineering.
