Sulfur-doped amorphous NiMoO4 on crystalline Fe2O3 nanosheets has been fabricated, which demonstrates excellent electrochemical performance as the anode for lithium ion batteries.

The development of novel high-efficiency photocatalysts to solve the bottleneck problems of low efficiency and harsh conditions of organic oxidation reactions is of vital significance. In this paper, a novel hybrid polyoxometalate (POM) crystal, (C 2 H 8 N) 6 [SiW 11 CdO 39 ][Ru(bpy) 2 (dcbpy)]• DMF•5.5H 2 O (RuCd−SiW), was synthesized by combining the metalloligand [Ru(bpy) 2 (dcbpy)] with the oxidation catalyst POM. The introduction of the metalloligand extended the light absorption range of RuCd−SiW to the visible region, while electrochemical measurements demonstrated its potential as an excellent photocatalyst. Under visible light (λ > 400 nm) irradiation with O 2 as the sole oxidant, RuCd−SiW showed highly efficient photocatalytic activity for the selective oxidation of thioanisole to (methylsulfoxide)benzene with a yield of 99.5%, a turnover number of 497.5, and a turnover frequency of 103 h −1 . Particularly, the yield of (methylsulfoxide)benzene was still higher than 99% after five rounds of recycling, demonstrating its high stability and recyclability.

An innovative method for the fabrication of separated tellurium nanoparticles inside the hollow polypyrrole (PPy) has been developed. The polypyrrole effectively confines the Te nanoparticles through C−Te and C−Te‐N bonds and improves the conductivity and structural integrity. The unique Te/PPy architecture is proved to achieve good reversible specific capacity of 178.2 mAh g−1 (1112 mAh cm−3) at 100 mA g−1 and high rate capacity (98.4 mAh g−1 at the current density of 1600 mA g−1) when evaluated as cathode for Li−Te batteries.
