Abstract

The polymorphism of phosphorus-based materials has garnered much research interest, and the variable chemical bonding structures give rise to a variety of micro and nanostructures. Among the different types of materials containing phosphorus, elemental phosphorus materials (EPMs) constitute the foundation for the synthesis of related compounds. EPMs are experiencing a renaissance in the post-graphene era, thanks to recent advancements in the scaling-down of black phosphorus, amorphous red phosphorus, violet phosphorus, and fibrous phosphorus and consequently, diverse classes of low-dimensional sheets, ribbons, and dots of EPMs with intriguing properties have been produced. The nanostructured EPMs featuring tunable bandgaps, moderate carrier mobility, and excellent optical absorption have shown great potential in energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. It is thus important to have a good understanding of the differences and interrelationships among diverse EPMs, their intrinsic physical and chemical properties, the synthesis of specific structures, and the selection of suitable nanostructures of EPMs for particular applications. In this comprehensive review, we aim to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion of the fundamental physicochemical properties, synthesis, and applications of EPMs in the areas of energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. Our evaluations are based on recent literature on well-established phosphorus allotropes and theoretical predictions of new EPMs. The objective of this review is to enhance our comprehension of the characteristics of EPMs, keep abreast of recent advances, and provide guidance for future research of EPMs in the fields of chemistry and materials science.

26. Enhanced Catalytic Activity of Crystalline Phosphorus Nanosheets Fabricated viaSolvothermal Phase Transformation

Abstract

The newly reported crystalline phosphorus nanosheets (cryst-P NSs) exhibit promising features for industrial applications, including outstanding air–water stability and facile large-scale production. However, their complex crystallization impedes a prioritailoring. Herein, the temporal evolution of cryst-P NSs was investigated with the optimized synthesis parameters. The occurrence of self-assembly and solid-state rearrangement unveiled the existence of an intermediate phase as the bulk crystalline precursor and the predominance of nonclassical crystallization pathway(s). With the upgraded synthesis protocol simultaneously strengthening the merits of cryst-P NSs, their catalytic performances were evaluated in various electro- and/or photocatalytic reactions spanning hydrogen and oxygen evolution, full water splitting, CO2reduction, and organic pollutant decomposition. Superior catalytic activities and orders of magnitude longer lifetimes were consistently discerned compared with the widely employed black phosphorus nanosheets with similar size and thickness. The exciting discoveries in both fundamental crystallization and catalytic applications drastically thrust the comprehension of elemental phosphorus, shedding light on the encouraging capabilities of solvothermal synthesis strategies in the design and systematic tailoring of phosphorus materials.

29. A New Strategy for Fuel Desulfurization by Molecular Inclusion with Copper(II)-β-cyclodextrin@SiO2@Fe3O4for Removing Thiophenic Sulfides

Abstract

Developing a new and environment-friendly desulfurization strategy for removing thiophenic sulfides from fuel is currently necessary. Fuel desulfurization by molecular inclusion with a novel cyclodextrin-based magnetic nanomaterial copper(II)-β-cyclodextrin@silica@ferroferric oxide (Cu(II)-β-CD@SiO2@Fe3O4) was proposed for the efficient removal of thiophene (T), benzothiophene (BT), and dibenzothiophene (DBT) in fuel. Cu(II)-β-CD@SiO2@Fe3O4was successfully prepared by the reaction between mono-6-O-toluenesulfonyl-Cu(II)-β-CD and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane functionalized SiO2@Fe3O4, and the structural characterization illustrated that the active desulfurization component Cu(II)-β-CD was evenly immobilized on the surface of SiO2@Fe3O4. Furthermore, Cu(II)-β-CD@SiO2@Fe3O4showed outstanding desulfurization performance for thiophenic sulfides in the order BT > DBT > T on account of the varying molecular inclusion ability of Cu(II)-β-CD for the three types of thiophenic sulfides. The optimum immobilized load of Cu(II)-β-CD in Cu(II)-β-CD@SiO2@Fe3O4was 5m%, and room temperature was favorable for the desulfurization process. Cu(II)-β-CD@SiO2@Fe3O4exhibits good regeneration performance. The inclusion interaction between Cu(II)-β-CD and sulfides plays a more dominant role than the coordination interaction of Cu(II) with sulfide and the physical absorption during the desulfurization process. The thiophenic sulfides mainly entered the hydrophobic cavity of Cu(II)-β-CD rather than be adsorbed on the surface of Cu(II)-β-CD@SiO2@Fe3O4. The results lay the foundation of desulfurization with supramolecular magnetic materials, which is significant for environmental protection and resource saving.

Abstract

Phosphorus is regarded as a promising material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, appropriate lithiation potential, and low lithium-ion diffusion barrier. Phosphorus/carbon composites (PC) are engineered to serve as high-capacity high-rate anodes; the interaction between phosphorus and carbon, long-term capacity retention, and safety problems are important issues that must be well addressed simultaneously. Herein, an in situ polymerization approach to fabricate a poly-melamine-hybridized (pMA) phosphorus/carbon composite (pMA-PC) is employed. The pMA hybridization enhances the density and electrical conductivity of the PC, improves the structural integrity, and facilitates stable electron transfer within the pMA-PC composite. Moreover, the pMA-PC composite exhibits efficient adsorption of lithium polysulfides, enabling stable transport of Li + ions. Therefore, the pMA-PC anode demonstrates a high specific charging capacity of 1,381 mAh g -1 at 10 A g -1 , and a great capacity retention of 86.7% at 1 A g -1 over 500 cycles. The synergistic effect of phosphorus and nitrogen further confers excellent flame retardant properties to the pMA-PC anode, including self-extinguishing in 2.5 s, and a much lower combustion temperature than PC. The enhanced capacity and safety performance of pMA-PC show potential in future high-capacity and high-rate LIBs., (© 2024 Wiley‐VCH GmbH.)
