Enhancement of photoconversion efficiency and light harvesting ability of TiO2 nanotube-arrays with Cu2ZnSnS4 (2021)
Journal Article

We report an underpotential deposition (UPD) route of Cu2ZnSnS4/TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2-NTAs) in which the Kesterite (Cu2ZnSnS4) was employed as a sensitizer to enhance the photoconversion efficiency of the TiO2-NTAs. Cu2ZnSnS4 was simultaneously... Read More about Enhancement of photoconversion efficiency and light harvesting ability of TiO2 nanotube-arrays with Cu2ZnSnS4.

A composite surface configuration towards improving cycling stability of Li-rich layered oxide materials (2021)
Journal Article

Li-rich layered oxides are promising positive electrode candidates for next-generation high-energy Li-ion batteries. However, they suffer from a severe gas release issue and side reaction-induced surface degradation resulting in significant capacity...

Correction: Indirect electrosynthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and water by a magnesium chloride cycle at atmospheric pressure (2021)
Journal Article

(Cell Reports Physical Science 2, 100425-1–100425-15; May 19, 2021) In the originally published version of this article, Table 1 had duplicated reactions but was meant to demonstrate three different reactions: Mg3N2(s) + 6HCl(a), Mg3N2(s) + 6HCl(g),...

Honeycombed activated carbon with greatly increased specific surface by direct activation of glucose for supercapacitors (2021)
Journal Article

In the production of activated carbons (ACs), glucose as a precursor is prone to producing the graphitic char intermediates after carbonization, which are difficult to be activated in the subsequent activation. In order to obtain a desirable specific... Read More about Honeycombed activated carbon with greatly increased specific surface by direct activation of glucose for supercapacitors.

High Yield and Packing Density Activated Carbon by One-Step Molecular Level Activation of Hydrophilic Pomelo Peel for Supercapacitors (2021)
Journal Article

Highly hydrophilic pomelo peel is used as an activated carbon (AC) precursor so that KOH can be homogeneously absorbed within it. Subsequent cryodesiccation retains the original morphology of the pomelo peel and distribution of KOH, which provides th...

Indirect electrosynthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and water by a magnesium chloride cycle at atmospheric pressure (2021)
Journal Article

Artificial N2 fixation is one of the most important industrial processes for human beings. However, the current Haber-Bosch process based on fossil fuel suffers from unsustainability and a low N2 to NH3 conversion. Here, we report a magnesium chlorid...
