Synthesis of MoS2 and MoO2 for their applications in H2 generation and lithium ion batteries: a review

Abstract

Scientists increasingly witness the applications of MoS₂ and MoO₂ in the field of energy conversion and energy storage. On the one hand, MoS₂ and MoO₂ have been widely utilized as promising catalysts for electrocatalytic or photocatalytic hydrogen evolution in aqueous solution. On the other hand, MoS₂ and MoO₂ have also been verified as efficient electrode material for lithium ion batteries. In this review, the synthesis, structure and properties of MoS₂ and MoO₂ are briefly summarized according to their applications for H₂ generation and lithium ion batteries. Firstly, we overview the recent advancements in the morphology control of MoS₂ and MoO₂ and their applications as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions. Secondly, we focus on the photo-induced water splitting for H₂ generation, in which MoS₂ acts as an important co-catalyst when combined with other semiconductor catalysts. The newly reported research results of the significant functions of MoS₂ nanocomposites in photo-induced water splitting are presented. Thirdly, we introduce the advantages of MoS₂ and MoO₂ for their enhanced cyclic performance and high capacity as electrode materials of lithium ion batteries. Recent key achievements in MoS₂- and MoO₂-based lithium ion batteries are highlighted. Finally, we discuss the future scope and the important challenges emerging from these fascinating materials.

Self-assembly synthesis of cactuslike Cu2O 3D nanoarchitectures via a low-temperature solution approach

Cu₂O nanocactuses were synthesized via a simple, low-temperature, and no time-consuming wet chemical route. The synthesized products were systematically studied by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the formation of Cu₂O nanocactuses was strongly depended on the addition of CTAB and NaOH. The structural evolution of the cactuslike Cu₂O was found to follow dissolution and recrystallization processes. It is noteworthy that the stepwise synthetic procedure was crucial to the growth of the final nanoarchitectures. UV–vis spectrum was also used to estimate the absorption and photodegradation ability of the nanocactuses.

Sphingolipids at Plasmodesmata: Structural Components and Functional Modulators

Plasmodesmata (PD) are plant-specific channels connecting adjacent cells to mediate intercellular communication of molecules essential for plant development and defense. The typical PD are organized by the close apposition of the plasma membrane (PM), the desmotubule derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and spoke-like elements linking the two membranes. The plasmodesmal PM (PD-PM) is characterized by the formation of unique microdomains enriched with sphingolipids, sterols, and specific proteins, identified by lipidomics and proteomics. These components modulate PD to adapt to the dynamic changes of developmental processes and environmental stimuli. In this review, we focus on highlighting the functions of sphingolipid species in plasmodesmata, including membrane microdomain organization, architecture transformation, callose deposition and permeability control, and signaling regulation. We also briefly discuss the difference between sphingolipids and sterols, and we propose potential unresolved questions that are of help for further understanding the correspondence between plasmodesmal structure and function.
