Abstract

is now working as a full professor in Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in China. He has been working on functional nanomaterials in energy and environment for more than ten years. His current research interests include the design and development of nanomaterials and their applications in energy.

Wood‐Derived Integral Air Electrode for Enhanced Interfacial Electrocatalysis in Rechargeable Zinc–Air Battery

“…[23,24] A nearly two-dimensional (2D) triple-phase interface is created in a very narrow region on the catalyst layer in the cathode prepared by spraying and dripping catalysts on the surface of carbon paper. [25,26] To address the problem of insufficient TPB exposure of conventional electrodes, a threedimensional interfacial strategy is proposed. The ordered hierarchically porous structure of wood provides an ideal template for the construction of three-dimensional functional architectures.…”

Structural design toward functional materials by electrospinning: A review

“…By structural design with modifications on spinnerets and collectors, functional electrospun fibers with special structures Janus, core-shell, hollow, porous, helical, etc., are comprehensively investigated. Such functional electrospun fibers have been widely used in different fields, such as masks (26,27), stimuli-responsive materials and actuators (28)(29)(30)(31), separation and filtration (32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39), reinforcements (40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45), wearable electronics (46)(47)(48)(49)(50), sponges/aerogels (51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56), tissue engineering (57,58), detection metal ions (59)(60)(61), energy storage (62)(63)(64)(65)(66), catalysts (67)(68)(69)(70)(71)(72)…”

Enriching surface oxygen vacancies of spinel Co3O4 to boost H2O adsorption for HER in alkaline media

“…Catalytic materials with higher surface areas usually show better electrocatalytic performance, because they can provide larger numbers of active sites for catalytic reactions. 43,44 Turnover frequency (TOF) indicates the numbers of gaseous H 2 molecules evolved in HER process at a unit time, which is regarded as the most important parameter to reflect the intrinsic catalytic property.…”
