Herein, we demonstrate the enhanced pseudocapacitive performance of a MoS 2 -based flexible supercapacitor by the co-doping strategy of cations and anions. The MoS 2 nanosheet arrays on carbon cloth are directly doped with N and Co atoms through a simple hydrothermal process. The obtained cation and anion co-modified MoS 2 (N-Co-MoS 2 ) shows improved electron transport efficiency and enhanced active sites for MoS 2 . According to the first-principles calculations, N-Co-MoS 2 has a unique band structure and high electrical conductivity. As expected, N-Co-MoS 2 shows higher capacitive performance with 5072.5 mF cm −2 and a better cycle life (retaining 100% capacitance after 10,000 cycles) than pure MoS 2 . Furthermore, a solid-state flexible N-Co-MoS 2 supercapacitor device is fabricated to demonstrate excellent mechanical stability with a specific capacitance of 3236 mF cm −2 and a stable cycle capacitance of 75.56% after 5000 cycles. In our work, we have provided a reference for preparing MoS 2 -based materials with good supercapacitive performance.
In this paper, a novel phosphorus-doped sulfur quantum dots (P-SQDs) material was prepared using a simple hydrothermal method. P-SQDs have a narrow particle size distribution as well as an excellent electron transfer rate and optical properties. Compositing P-SQDs with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) can be used for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes under visible light. More active sites, a narrower band gap, and stronger photocurrent are obtained after introducing P-SQDs into g-C3N4, thus promoting its photocatalytic efficiency by as much as 3.9 times. The excellent photocatalytic activity and reusability of P-SQDs/g-C3N4 are prospective signs of its photocatalytic application under visible light.
Photocatalysis holds great promise for addressing water pollution caused by organic dyes, and the development of Ag2O/Fe3O4 aims to overcome the challenges of slow degradation efficiency and difficult recovery of photocatalysts. In this study, we present a novel, environmentally friendly Ag2O/Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite synthesized via a simple coprecipitation method, which not only constructs a type II heterojunction but also successfully couples photocatalysis and Fenton reaction, enhancing the broad-spectrum response and efficiency. The Ag2O/Fe3O4 (10%) nanocomposite demonstrates exceptional degradation performance toward organic dyes, achieving 99.5% degradation of 10 mg/L methyl orange (MO) within 15 min under visible light irradiation and proving its wide applicability by efficiently degrading various dyes while maintaining high stability over multiple testing cycles. Magnetic testing further highlighted the ease of Ag2O/Fe3O4 (10%) recovery using magnetic force. This innovative approach offers a promising strategy for constructing high-performance photocatalytic systems for addressing water pollution caused by organic dyes.
