One-dimensional (1D) hybrid nanostructures composed of silver/silver sulfide (Ag/Ag2S) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) were prepared by controllable migration of Ag species from the Ag nanowire (NW) core into the ZnS nanosheet shell. This Ag diffusion process can be manipulated by different concentrations of sulfur (thiourea) to realize various interspersio...

Pt nanoparticles encapsulated into zeolite Y (denoted as [email protected]) exhibited approaching 100% catalytic selectivity to 2,5-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-furan (BHMF) at full conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in the presence of H-2, coupled with good reusability. Zeolite Y constrained HMF to be adsorbed on encapsulated Pt nanoparticle surface via either...

In this work, a one-step hydrothermal strategy has been developed for the synthesis of carbon-coated Na-3(VOPO4)(2)F with the aid of biomass (e.g. glucose, fructose or starch), where biomass plays the key role of carbon source and reducing agent for reducing vanadium(V) to vanadium(IV). The effect of different biomass on the morphologies has been e...

High charge transport efficiency and large specific surface are two critical factors for the hydrogen evolution reaction. In this work, we report a simple method to fabricate tungsten carbide (WC) on W foil through a carbonization reaction at high temperature. WC nanoparticles with high conductivity form chemical bonds with W foil, thereby signific...

Developing high-performance anode materials for sodium-ion batteries with high rate capability and long-term cyclability remains challenging. FeS2, one of the most potential candidates, is massively hindered by its intrinsically low electronic conductivity, poor ionic diffusivity, and severe volume change during cycling. Considering these issues, F...
