TL;DR: This work highlights a powerful way to design more efficient metal–carbon composites catalysts for HER through rational design of a tungsten nitride–carbon composite.
Abstract: Practical application of hydrogen production from water splitting relies strongly on the development of low-cost and high-performance electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The previous researches mainly focused on transition metal nitrides as HER catalysts due to their electrical conductivity and corrosion stability under acidic electrolyte, while tungsten nitrides have reported poorer activity for HER. Here the activity of tungsten nitride is optimized through rational design of a tungsten nitride–carbon composite. More specifically, tungsten nitride (WN) coupled with nitrogen-rich porous graphene-like carbon is prepared through a low-cost ion-exchange/molten-salt strategy. Benefiting from the nanostructured WN, the highly porous structure and rich nitrogen dopant (9.5 at%) of the carbon phase with high percentage of pyridinic-N (54.3%), and more importantly, their synergistic effect, the composite catalyst displays remarkably high catalytic activity while maintaining good stability. This work highlights a powerful way to design more efficient metal–carbon composites catalysts for HER.

TL;DR: This review highlights the scientific and technological progress of rechargeable batteries achieved by halide-based materials and chemistries, including the use of halide electrodes, bulk and/or surface halogen-doping of electrodes, electrolyte design and additives enabling fast ion shuttle and stable electrode/electrolyte interfaces, and realization of new battery chemistries.
Abstract: Rechargeable batteries are considered one of the most effective energy storage technologies to bridge the production and consumption of renewable energy. The further development of rechargeable batteries with characteristics such as high energy density, low cost, safety, and a long cycle life is required to meet the ever-increasing energy-storage demands. This Review highlights the progress achieved with halide-based materials in rechargeable batteries, including the use of halide electrodes, bulk and/or surface halogen-doping of electrodes, electrolyte design, and additives that enable fast ion shuttling and stable electrode/electrolyte interfaces, as well as realization of new battery chemistry. Battery chemistry based on monovalent cation, multivalent cation, anion, and dual-ion transfer is covered. This Review aims to promote the understanding of halide-based materials to stimulate further research and development in the area of high-performance rechargeable batteries. It also offers a perspective on the exploration of new materials and systems for electrochemical energy storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step chemical vapour deposition method was used to realize high-quality 2H-stacked WSe2-MoSe2 heterostructures with strong interlayer coupling, and effective tuning of their interlayer interaction by hydrostatic pressure.
Abstract: Two-dimensional materials offer an exciting platform that enables the creation of van der Waals heterostructures with rich functions and intriguing physical properties that stem from different band alignments and diverse interlayer interactions. However, further exploration of two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures is hindered by the limited coupling strength and lack of efficient methods for tuning the interlayer interactions. Here, by using a two-step chemical vapour deposition method, we realize high-quality 2H-stacked WSe2–MoSe2 heterostructures with strong interlayer coupling, and effective tuning of their interlayer interaction by hydrostatic pressure. We unambiguously establish the strong coupling nature in these WSe2–MoSe2 heterostructures through the existence of exclusive interlayer excitons instead of the typical intralayer excitons. We further demonstrate efficient tuning of the interlayer coupling by using pressure engineering, and observe a clear evolution and transition of interlayer excitons in WSe2–MoSe2 heterostructures with a pressure-induced band changeover, which is further confirmed by first-principles calculations. Our findings provide new opportunities for producing, exploring and tuning van der Waals heterostructures with strong interlayer coupling that can lead towards the realization of future excitonic devices based on tailor-made, atomically thin, two-dimensional stacks. High-quality WSe2–MoSe2 heterostructures support strong coupling between the two layers, which is associated with tight hybridization and effective charge separation. In these structures, the bands of the interlayer excitons can be pressure-engineered.

TL;DR: Both the physical and chemical properties of the as-prepared separator are beneficial to alleviating the shuttle effect and enhancing the rate capability, and the electrochemical performance of the battery with a MOF-modified separator was significantly improved.
Abstract: Although there are plenty of merits for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, their undesired shuttle effect and insulated nature are hindering the practical applications. Here, a conductive metal-organic framework (MOF)-modified separator has been designed and fabricated through a facile filtration method to address the issues. Specifically, its intrinsic microporous structure, hydrophilic polar property, and conductive feature could make it easy to contact with and trap polysulfides and boost the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. Both the physical and chemical properties of the as-prepared separator are beneficial to alleviating the shuttle effect and enhancing the rate capability. Accordingly, the electrochemical performance of the battery with a MOF-modified separator was significantly improved.
