Summary: In this study, MoN nanolayer-decorated multilayer graphene was used as a layer material to suppress the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides and enhance the redox kinetics in Li-S batteries. After the initial discharge process, the MoN layers break up into independent microreaction units consisting of MoN bodies and MoS2 edges, forming an in situ heterogeneous composite catalyst. The MoN bodies can trap LiPSs and enhance their redox kinetics, while the MoS2 edges weaken the mobility of LiPSs through the anchoring effect. Li-S cells using this interlayer exhibit excellent cycling stability under a high sulfur loading.

Summary: Urbanization and population growth have significantly impacted global energy demands. The use of non-renewable fossil fuel-based energy infrastructure leads to air pollution, global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, acid rain, diminishing energy resources, and environmental degradation. This necessitates the exploration of alternative energy sources. Hydrogen, as an efficient energy carrier, has gained scientific attention as an alternative fuel to meet energy demands. This review focuses on hydrogen production from renewable sources (such as biomass, solar, wind, geothermal, and algae) and conventional non-renewable sources (including natural gas, coal, nuclear, and thermochemical processes). Additionally, the cost analysis for hydrogen production from each energy source is discussed. Finally, the environmental impact and implications of these hydrogen production processes are summarized.

Summary: In this study, a newly proposed kinetic model was used to investigate the promotion mechanism of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for Co3O4 interfaced with nickel hydroxides (NiOxHy). The results revealed that depending on the electrode potential, the OER kinetics at the designed interface between Co3O4 and NiOxHy are boosted in different ways, leading to a lower onset potential and a low Tafel slope.
