Dual anionic doping strategy towards synergistic optimization of Co9S8 for fast and durable sodium storage

Song Xue et al.

Summary: In this study, a dual anionic (N and Se) doping strategy was used to prepare Co9S8 (N,Se-Co9S8) as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries. The N doping increased the electron density of Co9S8, while the Se doping expanded the lattice spacing and lowered the Co-S binding energy. The synergistic combination of N and Se enabled Co9S8 to exhibit high conductivity, good Na+ affinity, and effective Na+ diffusion, resulting in fast reaction kinetics and stable performance during charging/discharging.

Asymmetric Coordination of Iridium Single-atom IrN3O Boosting Formic Acid Oxidation Catalysis

Lei Wang et al.

Summary: This study presents the theoretical prediction and experimental realization of an asymmetrically coordinated iridium single-atom catalyst for the formic acid oxidation reaction. Theoretical calculations show that the substitution of nitrogen with oxygen in the symmetric IrN4 motif can moderate the binding strength of key intermediates and achieve near-zero overpotential. The as-designed catalyst exhibits significantly higher mass activity compared to state-of-the-art Pd/C and Pt/C catalysts.

Min Fu et al.

Summary: In this work, MnCo2S4 nanosheet arrays modified with vermicular polypyrrole (MCS@PPy) were grown on activate carbon cloth (ACC) using solvothermal and electropolymerization technologies.
