In this paper, we grew the vanadium-doped nickel nitride porous nanosheet arrays supported on NF, V-Ni3N/NF, which displays efficient catalytic performance for urea electrolysis with energy-saving H2 production.
The work demonstrated the advantages of titanium-alkoxide-dyes in improvement of photocurrent conversion, and revealed the synergistic effects of dye and auxiliary ligand.
Metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) have aroused great interest
as lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrode materials. In this work, we
first report that a pristine three-dimensional tetrathiafulvalene
derivatives (TTFs)-based zinc MOF, formulated [Zn2(py-TTF-py)2(BDC)2]·2DMF·H2O (1) (py-TTF-py = 2,6-bis(4′-pyridyl)tetrathiafulvalene and H2BDC = terephthalic acid), can work as a high-performance electrode
material for rechargeable LIBs. The TTFs-Zn-MOF 1 electrode
displayed a high discharge specific capacity of 1117.4 mA h g–1 at a current density of 200 mA g–1 after 150 cycles along with good reversibility. After undergoing
elevated discharging/charging rates, the electrode showed superior
lithium storage performance in the extreme case of 20 A g–1 and could finally recover the capability when the current rate was
back to 200 mA g–1. Particularly, specific capacities
of 884.2, 513.8, and 327.8 mA h g–1 were reached
at high current densities of 5, 10, and 20 A g–1 after 180, 175, and 300 cycles along with good reversibility, respectively.
Such an excellent performance is first reported for the LIB anode
materials. TTFs-Zn-MOF 2, namely, [Zn2(py-TTF-py)
(BDC)2]·DMF·2H2O (2),
was prepared as a contrast to explore the relationship between the
structures of the electrode materials and the electrochemical properties.
Based on the structural analysis of 1 and 2 and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the TTF moiety and
the twofold TTF pillar play a key role in the excellent electrochemical
performance. The full cell of MOF 1 with NMC 622 delivered
the capacity of 131.9 mA h g–1 at 100 mA g–1 with the Coulombic efficiency of 99.45% after 70 cycles and exhibited
the tolerance to high-current operation.
