The burgeoning developments of portable electronics and electric vehicles call for continual improvement of electrochemical energy storage technologies. Owing to their rich abundance and versatile oxidation states, various sulfur species (such as molecular sulfur, metal sulfides, metal polysulfides, and polymerised sulfur species) have been studied...

Redox reactions between polyoxometalates (POMs) and biologically relevant molecules have been virtually unexplored but are important, considering the growing interest in the biological applications of POMs. In this work we give a detailed account on the redox behavior of CeIV-substituted polyoxometalates (CeIV-POMs) toward a range of amino acids an...

Chemical functionalisation is one of the most active areas of graphene research, motivated by fundamental science, the opportunities to adjust or supplement intrinsic properties, and the need to assemble materials for a broad array of applications. Historically, the primary consideration has been the degree of functionalisation but there is growing...
The Fenton reaction is regarded as an advanced oxidation process that can efficiently remediate environmental pollutants. However, the one-time irreversible consumption of its catalysts raises the cost in practical application. Herein, we report the generation of active Fe2+ sites via photo-reduction by photogenerated electrons on a TiO2 nanotube-b...

Ammonia borane (AB), with a potential storage capacity of 19.6 wt% H-2, is an excellent material for chemical storage of hydrogen. However, the use of noble metal catalysts severely hinders the practical application of AB decomposition for hydrogen generation. In this work, well dispersed CuCo and CoO nanoparticles (CuCo(O)) supported on carbon-nit...
