Oxidative stress is associated with many acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. Development of nanomaterial-based enzyme mimetics for reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging is challenging, but holds great promise for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Herein, we report the highly ordered manganese dioxide encapsulated selenium-melanin (Se@Me@MnO2) nanozyme with high efficiency for intracellular antioxidation and anti-inflammation. The Se@Me@MnO2 nanozyme is sequentially fabricated through the radical polymerization and the in-situ oxidation-reduction. In vitro experimental results demonstrated that the Se@Me@MnO2 nanozyme exhibits multiple enzyme activities to scavenge ROS, including catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Mechanism researches illustrated that the Se core possesses GPx-like catalytic activity, the Me and the MnO2 possess both the SOD-like and the CAT-like activities. What’s more, due to the stable unpaired electrons existing in the nanozyme, the Se, Me and MnO2 provide synergistic and fast electron transfer effect to achieve the quickly scavenging of hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide anion. Further in vivo experimental results showed that this biocompatible nanozyme exhibits cytoprotective effects by resisting ROS-mediated damage, thereby alleviating the inflammation. This multienzyme mimetics is believed to be an excellent ROS scavenger and have a good potential in clinical therapy for ROS-related diseases.

Hydrogenation of nitriles is an efficient and environmentally friendly route to synthesize symmetrical secondary amines, but it usually produces a mixture of amines, imines, and hydrogenolysis by-products. Herein we report a magnetic quaternary-component Pt-CuFe/Fe3 O4 nanocatalyst system for the selective synthesis of symmetrical secondary amines with ammonia borane as hydrogen donor. The catalyst with a low Pt loading (0.456 wt%) is the source of the activity, and the d-band electron transfer from Cu to Fe enhances the selectivity. This synergistic effect results in the transformation of benzonitrile to dibenzylamine with excellent conversion (up to 99 %) and nearly quantitative selectivity (up to 96 %) under mild reaction conditions, nevertheless, the reaction TOF is as high as up to 1409.9 h-1 . A variety of nitriles are suitable for the synthesis of symmetrical secondary amines. More importantly, unwanted hydrogenolysis byproducts, especially toluene, is not detected at all. In addition, the catalyst is magnetically recoverable, and it can be reused up to five times.

Fabrication of functional electrochemical biosensor is a hot topic; however, precise and sensitive cancer detection in early clinical diagnosis is still a great challenge. Continuous efforts have been devoted to explore functional materials for this issue. In this work, we developed a dual binding sites and dual signal-amplifying electrochemical aptasensor of self-polymerized dopamine-decorated Au and coordinated with Fe-MOF (Au@PDA@Fe-MOF) for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Remarkably, Au@PDA@Fe-MOF features high sensitivity, multiple active sites, good biocompatibility, and excellent selectivity, which is attributed to abundant -COOH in porous Fe-MOF and unsaturated Fe3+ sites on the surface of Fe-MOF as the active binding sites grafting more NH2-functionalized CEA-specific aptamer and redox PDA and Fe-MOF accelerating the movement of electrons for dual signal amplifying. Meanwhile, the electrochemical aptasensor shows favorable repeatability with 1.82% relative standard deviation (RSD) under five independent aptasensors and strong stability with only 3.3% degradation after 12 days of storage. In addition, the aptasensor has wide CEA detection range from 1 fg mL-1 to 1 μg mL-1 with a low detection limit of 0.33 fg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the aptasensor is feasible for accurate and quantitative detection of CEA in serum samples with RSD below 2.32%. The satisfying results demonstrate promising applications of the CEA aptasensor in practical sample analysis and lay an important foundation for other biomarker detection in early clinical diagnosis.

In recent years, the removal of antimony(III) (Sb(III)) contaminant from water has caused widespread concern. Herein, two adsorbents have been successfully developed to remove Sb(III) from water and systemically characterized. One is the composite of magnetic mesoporous carbon nanospheres (Fe3O4@CNs) with Fe2O3 particles that is represented as Fe3O4@Fe2O3@CNs, and the other one is mesoporous carbon nanosphere-accommodated Fe2O3 particles noted as Fe2O3@CNs. Both adsorbents have the advantages of magnetic separation and high Sb(III) removal capacity. The adsorption properties of Sb(III) on both adsorbents were studied by the experiments of adsorption isotherms and kinetics. The results show that the adsorption behaviors on both adsorbents follow the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum Sb(III) adsorption capacity of Fe3O4@Fe2O3@CNs and Fe2O3@CNs is 234.28 and 102.84 mg/g, respectively. The high capacity can be attributed to the adsorption-active Fe2O3 particles that ar...

Hydrogenation of nitriles to afford amines under mild conditions is a challenging task with an inexpensive heterogeneous catalyst, and it is even more difficult to obtain primary amines selectively because of the accompanying self-coupling side reactions. An efficient catalytic system was designed as Fe3O4@nSiO2–NH2–RhCu@mSiO2 to prepare primary amines through the transfer hydrogenation of nitrile compounds with economical HCOOH as the hydrogen donor. The loading of rhodium in the catalyst could be at the ppm level, and the TOF reaches 6803 h−1 for Rh. This catalytic system has a wide substrate range including some nitriles that could not proceed in the previous literature. The experimental results demonstrate that the excellent selectivity for primary amines is guaranteed by three tactics, which are the strong active site, the inhibition of side products by the hydrogen source and the special pore structure of the catalyst. In addition, the catalyst could be reused ten times without activity loss through convenient magnetic recovery.

A magnetically separable 2D Rh/Fe3O4/g-C3N4-N catalyst has been synthesized for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to afford corresponding anilines. The highly dispersed Rh nanoparticles are the dominant active species. The reaction is second order for rhodium according to the kinetic study, and this means the activity of different Rh-containing catalyst can be precisely predicted and the active site contains two adjoining rhodium atoms. The strong interaction between Rh and Fe3O4 contributes to the catalytic performance, therefore the obtained Rh/Fe3O4/g-C3N4-N catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity and chemoselectivity for the reduction of various nitroaromatics, and the turnover frequencies (TOF) can reach as high as 12,666 h−1 for 4-nitrophenol. Moreover, this catalytic system is environmentally friendly because of its green solvent water and harmless byproducts (H2O and N2), and the catalyst shows outstanding stability and recyclability with at least 12 cycles.

Core–shell nanocomposites with a catalytic metal-organic framework (MOF) shell are more effective and stable than bare MOF. We have successfully designed an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazole by integrating acidic catalytic activity, and promoted the aerobic oxidation and magnetic recyclability of core–shell nanocomposite Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66. The Fe3O4@SiO2 core is encapsulated by the in situ-grown UiO-66 shell, and the UiO-66 shell retains the porous structure and crystallinity of UiO-66 with abundant exposed Lewis acid sites. It shows high catalytic ability for the synthesis of various benzimidazoles through the acid-catalyzed condensation and aerobic oxidation with in situ oxygen. The Fe3O4@SiO2 core provides magnetic recyclability of Fe3O4@SiO2@UiO-66, and maintains high catalytic ability and stability over six cycles.

The application of antimony containing compounds in the industry has generated considerable antimony contaminants, which requires to develop methods that are as efficient as possible to remove antimony from water in the view of human health. The adsorption is among the most high-efficiency and reliable purification methods for hazardous materials due to the simple operation, convenient recycling and low cost. Herein, this review systematically summarizes the functional materials that are used to adsorb antimony from water, including metal (oxides) based materials, carbon-based materials, MOFs and molecular sieves, layered double hydroxides, natural materials, and organic-inorganic hybrids. The iron-based adsorbents stand out among these adsorbents because of their excellent performance. Moreover, the interaction between antimony and different functional materials is discussed in detail, while the inner-sphere complexation, hydrogen bond as well as ligand exchange are the main impetus during antimony adsorption. In addition, the desorption methods in adsorbents recycling are also comprehensively summarized. Furthermore, we propose an adsorption capacity balanced evaluation function (ABEF) based on the reported results to evaluate the performance of the antimony adsorption materials for both Sb(III) and Sb(V), as antimony usually has two valence forms of Sb(III) and Sb(V) in wastewater. Another original insight in this review is that we put forward a potential application prospect for the antimony-containing waste adsorbents. The feasible future development includes the utilization of the recycled antimony-containing waste adsorbents in catalysis and energy storage, and this will provide a green and sustainable pathway for both antimony removal and resourization.

A novel armor-type composite of metal-organic framework (MOF)-encapsulated CoCu nanoparticles with a Fe3 O4 core (Fe3 O4 @SiO2 -NH2 -CoCu@UiO-66) has been designed and synthesized by the half-way injection method, which successfully serves as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the selective transfer hydrogenation. In this half-way injection approach, the pre-synthetic Fe3 O4 @SiO2 -NH2 -CoCu was injected into the UiO-66 precursor solution halfway through the MOF budding period. The formed MOF armor could play a role of providing significant additional catalytic sites besides CoCu nanoparticles, protecting CoCu nanoparticles, and improving the catalyst stability, thus facilitating the selective transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzaldehydes into corresponding nitrobenzyl alcohols in high selectivity (99 %) and conversion (99 %) rather than nitro group reduction products. Notably, this method achieves the precise assembly of a MOF-encapsulated composite, and the ingenious combination of MOF and nanoparticles exhibits excellent catalytic performance in the selective hydrogen transfer reaction, implementing a "1+1>2" strategy in catalysis.

Summary A multicomponent nanocatalyst system was fabricated for the transfer hydrogenation of nitrile compounds. This catalyst system contains palladium, copper, and iron, which are supported on the magnetite nanospheres, and the loading of palladium could be at the parts per million level. Palladium and copper contribute to the transformation of nitrile, and the product distribution highly depends on the alloying of Fe to Cu. The nitriles could be converted to primary amine by the Pd-Cu catalyst in the absence of Fe, whereas in the presence of Fe the products are secondary amines with high selectivity. This could be attributed to the electronic modulation of iron to copper. A variety of nitriles have been transformed to the corresponding primary or secondary amines with high selectivity, and the TOF reaches 2,929 hr−1 for Pd. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recycled by an external magnetic field and reused five times without severe activity loss., Graphical Abstract, Highlights • The novel transfer hydrogenation of nitriles to primary or secondary amine • The dosage of Pd can be reduced to 139 ppm with a TOF of 3,597 hr−1 • The selectivity of products can be easily adjusted by electronic modulation, Chemistry; Catalysis; Organic Chemistry

A novel core-shell structured nanocatalyst (Fe3 O4 @SiO2 -NH2 -FeCu nanoparticles) with ultrafine FeCu alloy NPs magnetically immobilized in porous silica has been fabricated. The obtained catalyst revealed excellent activity and chemoselectivity for catalyzing the hydrogenation of nitroarenes to corresponding anilines using hydrazine hydrate as the hydrogen source, and the reaction could be carried out smoothly in water, which is an environmentally friendly solvent. The FeCu alloy effectively prevented the dehalogenation of halonitroarenes, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study showed that it resulted from the electron-enrichment of Fe from Cu. A kinetics study indicated that the reaction order was about 1.5 towards 4-CNB and the apparent active energy (Ea ) was 48.1 kJ mol-1 , which is a relatively low value. Furthermore, the FeCu NPs are magnetically immobilized in the silica spheres (Fe3 O4 @SiO2 ), therefore the catalyst can be easily recovered by use of an external magnet and also possesses a long life time.

The development of a general approach for fabricating stable ultra-small heterogeneous nanocatalysts has been intensively pursued. However, issues related to complex synthesis processes and structural stability have restricted their investigation and application. Here we report a facile organometallic conjunction strategy for the large-scale fabrication of porous carbon framework encapsulated highly dispersed sub-3 nm ultra-small nanoparticles (USMNPs@PCF). This methodology is based on the convenient aldol condensation reaction to manufacture a metallo-supramolecular polymer precursor and then consequent annealing to form the target nanocomposite. This technique was successfully applied to the preparation of varieties of USMNPs@PCF, including Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd and Pt. As a representative application, the PCF encapsulated sub-3 nm Pd nanoparticles demonstrated remarkable durability and efficiency for chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes to their corresponding anilines under ambient conditions with low catalyst loading. All hydrogenation reactions can complete in 4 min with >99% conversion and >99% chemoselectivity. The turnover frequency (TOF) was up to 11 400 h−1 for p-nitrophenol. This work provides a general, scalable and economical route for the manufacture of sub-3 nm and highly dispersed nanocomposites, which can be used in many other important fields, such as electrochemistry, energy science and environmental protection.

We present a novel strategy for the scalable fabrication of γ-Fe2O3@3DPCF, a three dimensional porous carbon frameworks anchored ultra uniform and ultra stable nano γ-Fe2O3. The γ-Fe2O3@3DPCF nanocomposites were facilely prepared with the following route: a condensation of iron (III) acetylacetonate with acetoacetone at room temperature formed the polymer precursor (PPr), which was carbonized subsequently at 800 oC. The homogeneous aldol condensation offered an ultra uniform distribution of the iron, so that the γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) were uniformly distributed in the 3D carbon architecture with the average size of approximate 20 nm. The Fe2O3 NPs was capped with carbon, so that the iron oxide maintained its γ-phase instead of the more stable α-phase. The nanocomposite was an exquisite catalyst for the reduction of nitroarene, it gave >99% conversion and 100% selectivity for the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding anilines at 100 °C. The fabrication of the γ-Fe2O3@3DPCF nanocatalyst represents a green and scalable method for the synthesis of novel carbon-based metal oxides nanostructure.

A novel egg-like nanosphere was designed as a long-lived catalyst and is described as Fe3O4@nSiO2-NH2-Fe2O3•xBi2O3@mSiO2. The catalyst was prepared using a modified Stober method with template-free surface-protected etching. The catalyst particle consists of a magnetic Fe3O4 core as the “yolk”, an inner silica shell bearing active Fe2O3•xBi2O3 species as the “egg white”, and outer mesoporous silica as the “egg shell”. It exhibits an excellent performance in the catalytic reduction of nitro aromatics to corresponding anilines in a fixed-bed continuous-flow reactor. The reaction could be performed at 80 °C and could reach complete conversion in less than 1 min with only a 7% excess of hydrazine hydrate. The catalyst bed could be easily shifted between different substrates without cross-contamination because of the uniformity of the catalyst particles. This catalyst exhibited very good stability in the continuous-flow protocol. In the long-term reduction of p-nitrophenol with 0.5 mmol·min−1 productivity, it worked for more than 1,500 cycles without any catalytic activity loss.

The carbon wrapped magnetic nanosphere Fe3O4@C (∼300 nm) was prepared under simple hydrothermal conditions, and it served as the carrier of Rh nanoparticles (2-3 nm), which acted as the highly efficient catalyst for reduction of nitro compounds, and reutilization of catalyst is convenient to achieve because the catalyst particles are magnetic. A scope of nitroarene derivatives were reduced to corresponding anilines in water, and the reactions completed in 10 min with nearly quantitative conversions and 100% selectivity. In addition, the abundant oxygen-containing functionality on the carbon shell which can strongly binds the Rh-NPs to offer extraordinary stability is investigated by using various techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR).

The N-unsubstituted 4-aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized via the acetic acid promoted cycloaddition between β-nitrostyrenes with sodium azide under transition-metal-free conditions in a continuous flow microreactor. The continuous-flow microreactor provided a safe environment for the dangerous reagents NaN3 and nitroalkene, and offered such a rapid procedure that the triazoles were formed in less than 4 min. In addition, the excess sodium azide was quenched by the by-product HNO2 in the presence of acetic acid. The scale-up experiment proved again that the yield did not drop in the flow reaction. Moreover, the synthesis of N-unsubstituted 1,2,3-triazole was also explored via a one pot reaction with aldehyde, nitromethane and sodium azide, and this reaction was monitored with an “in-tube retention time gradient” (IT-RTG) technology, which may be a novel application of the continuous-flow microreactor.

An efficient catalyst made of bismuth, iron and graphene oxide composite was developed for the reduction of nitroarenes with hydrazine hydrate to afford corresponding anilines. We found that the bismuth and graphene remarkably promoted the activity of iron oxide catalyst, so that a mixture of ferric chloride, bismuth nitrate and graphene oxide catalyzed the complete conversion of 4-nitrophenol into 4-aminophenol. Moreover, a catalyst prepared from the co-precipitation of bismuth, iron and graphene oxide nanocomposite (BFGO) exhibited perfect performance, and it could be recovered magnetically and reused for ten cycles without any activity losing. Furthermore, another heterogeneous catalyst tBFGO was constructed from the bismuth iron oxide nanocomposite with thermal exfoliated graphene. It was a robust and sustainable catalyst and was suitable to be used in the continuous flow microreactor. Applying a catalyst cartridge that filled up with tBFGO, a series of functionalized nitroarenes were successfully converted into corresponding anilines with excellent selectivity, and the work-up procedure was very easy. The catalytic activity of the catalyst did not decline within more than 600 min under a flow rate of 1 mL/min.

A novel oCNT-Chitosan-xFe2O3⋅yBi2O3 nanocomposite has been synthesized as a catalyst for the reduction of nitroarenes to afford corresponding anilines. This catalyst exhibits excellent efficiency and high chemoselectivity towards varieties of nitro-compounds by using hydrazine hydrate as the reductant, and this magnetically separable nanocatalyst can be used for more than ten cycles. The synergy between iron and bismuth gives the catalyst competitive activity towards precious metallic catalyst, and the active sites are immobilized on the chitosan noncovalently functionalized oxidized carbon nanotubes gives the catalyst long life time. Furthermore, this heterogeneous catalyst was used in a continuous-flow processing by filling up it into a packed bed reactor. It was used for more than 1000 min without any loss of catalytic activity in a scaled-up reduction of p-nitrophenol with a productivity of 0.5mmol min−1.

A core–shell structured nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-RhNPs@mSiO2) that is encapsulated with porous silica has been designed and prepared for catalyzing the transfer hydrogenation of nitro compounds into corresponding amines. Rh nanoparticles serve as the activity center, and the porous silica shell plays an important role in the “slow-release” of the hydrogen source hydrazine. This reaction can be carried out smoothly in the green solvent water, and the atom economy can be improved by decreasing the amount of hydrazine hydrate used to a stoichiometric 1.5 equivalent of the substrate. Significantly, high catalytic efficiency is obtained and the turnover frequency (TOF) can be up to 4373 h−1 in the reduction of p-nitrophenol (4-NP). A kinetics study shows that the order of reaction is ∼0.5 towards 4-NP, and the apparent active energy Ea is 58.18 kJ mol−1, which also gives evidence of the high catalytic efficiency. Additionally, the excellent stability of the catalyst has been verified after 15 cycles without any loss of catalytic activity, and it is easily recovered by a magnet after reaction due to the Fe3O4 nucleus.

In this study, we simulated water flow in a water conservancy project consisting of various hydraulic structures, such as sluices, pumping stations, hydropower stations, ship locks, and culverts, and developed a multi-period and multi-variable joint optimization scheduling model for flood control, drainage, and irrigation. In this model, the number of sluice holes, pump units, and hydropower station units to be opened were used as decision variables, and different optimization objectives and constraints were considered. This model was solved with improved genetic algorithms and verified using the Huaian Water Conservancy Project as an example. The results show that the use of the joint optimization scheduling led to a 10% increase in the power generation capacity and a 15% reduction in the total energy consumption. The change in the water level was reduced by 0.25 m upstream of the Yundong Sluice, and by 50% downstream of pumping stations No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4. It is clear that the joint optimization scheduling proposed in this study can effectively improve power generation capacity of the project, minimize operating costs and energy consumption, and enable more stable operation of various hydraulic structures. The results may provide references for the management of water conservancy projects in complex river networks.

Facile and large-scale preparation of materials with uniform distributions of ultrafine particles for catalysis is a challenging task, and it is even more difficult to obtain catalysts that excel in both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and hydrogenation, which are the corresponding merging and splitting procedures of hydrogen, respectively. Herein, the fabrication of ultrafine bimetallic PtNi nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanosheets (CNS) by means of in situ self-polymerization and annealing is reported. This bifunctional catalyst shows excellent performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol. Remarkably PtNi bimetallic catalyst with low metal loading (PtNi2 @CNS-600, 0.074 wt % Pt) exhibited outstanding HER activity with an overpotential as low as 68 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a platinum loading of only 0.612 μgPt cm-2 and Tafel slope of 35.27 mV dec-1 in a 0.5 m aqueous solution of H2 SO4 , which is comparable to that of the 20 % Pt/C catalyst (31 mV dec-1 ). Moreover, it also shows superior long-term electrochemical durability for at least 30 h with negligible degradation compared with 20 % Pt/C. In addition, the material with increased loading (mPtNi2 @CNS-600, 2.88 % Pt) showed robust catalytic activity for hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol at ambient pressure and temperature. The catalytic activity towards hydrogen splitting is a circumstantial evidence that agrees with the Volmer-Tafel reaction path in the HER.

The whole chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Cupressus chengiana has been characterized from Illumina pair-end sequencing. The circular genome is 128,151 bp in length with 115 single copy genes and two duplicated genes (trnl-CAU, trnQ-UUG). This genome contains 82 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes and four ribosomal RNA genes (four rRNA species). In these genes, eight genes (atpF, ndhA, ndhB, rpoC1, petD, petB, rpl16 and rpl2) harbor a single intron and two genes (rps12 and ycf3) harbor two introns. This cp genome does not contain canonical IRs, and the overall GC content is 34.7%. Further, phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. chengiana is closely related to the species of C. gigantea.

Fabrication of anilines from the corresponding nitroaromatics is a hot topic both for academia and for industry; however, conducting this protocol in water over a noble-metal-free catalytic system is still a great challenge. Continuous efforts are being made on exploiting novel catalysts for this transformation. In this work, we developed a scalable method for synthesizing the uniform flowerlike amorphous α-FeOOH hierarchical supraparticles. The well-defined amorphous α-FeOOH was prepared through an environmentally benign method, which is hydrolysis of the self-assembled iron glycolate at room temperature. Compared with other iron-only catalysts, this flowerlike amorphous α-FeOOH hierarchical supraparticle catalyst exhibits the best performance in the catalytic reduction of nitroaromatics to corresponding anilines by using water as the reaction solvent (turn over frequency is 106 h–1 for 4-nitrophenol in water). The further results indicated that the amorphous structure, special nanostructures, and adsorp...

The magnetically separable catalysts are used in the synthesis of N-containing heterocycles, including tetrazoles, triazoles, and imidazolines. The magnetic silica sphere grafted sulfonic acid (MSS-SO3H) is suitable for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole via the cycloaddition of nitroalkene with NaN3, whereas the zinc-modified silica sphere catalyst (MSS-SO3Zn) is more suitable for the synthesis of tetrazoles. The MSS-SO3Zn catalyst also works well for the synthesis of 2-substituted imidazoline via the condensation of nitriles with ethylenediamine. Both of the MSS-SO3H and MSS-SO3Zn catalysts can be recovered easily by a magnet, and they can be reused without further tedious activation.

Currently, the design of carbon-based composite as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) presents challenges for commercial application. Herein, we developed a three-dimensional carbon-based material with a nanotube-sheet mutual support structure (MS-CNTS) engineered by the catalytic effect of Co species. The present work highlights a concise 'solvent-free' synthetic method allowing for large-scale output, which is potentially available for low cost commercial use. With the readily available acetylacetonate and cobalt (II) acetylacetonate as starting chemicals, this nanostructured carbonaceous material is fabricated with aldol condensation to construct a Co-contained carbon-link network polymer precursor followed by annealing under argon. It is composed of brim-curled graphene-like carbon nanosheets and carbon nanotubes, which support each other's structures to effectively avoid agglomeration. Therefore, it enables high performance in LIBs. In spite of the trace amount of cobalt, the carbon-based MS-CNTS anode delivers a high charge capacity of 1028 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, high rate capacity of 495 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1, and ultra-long cycling life with a very low capacity decay of 0.008% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1, accompanied by 100% Coulombic efficiency. From full cell measurements, we further confirm the considerable promise of MS-CNTS as anodes with a long cycling life.
