Expediting redox kinetics of sulfur species on conductive scaffolds with limited charge accessible surface is considered as an imperative approach to realize energy-dense and power-intensive lithium-sulfur(Li-S)*** this work,the concept of concurrent hetero-/homo-geneous electrocatalysts is proposed to simultaneously mediate liquid-solid conversion of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)and solid lithium disulfide/sulfide(Li_(2)S_(2)/Li_(2)S)propagation,the latter of which suffers from sluggish reduction kinetics due to buried conductive scaffold surface by extensive deposition of Li_(2)S_(2)/Li_(2)*** selected model material to verify this concept is a two-in-one catalyst:carbon nanotube(CNT)scaffold supported iron-cobalt(Fe-Co)alloy nanoparticles and partially carbonized selenium(C-Se)*** Fe-Co alloy serves as a heterogeneous electrocatalyst to seed Li_(2)S_(2)/Li_(2)S through sulphifilic active sites,while the C-Se sustainably releases soluble lithium polyselenides and functions as a homogeneous electrocatalyst to propagate Li_(2)S_(2)/Li_(2)S via solution *** bi-phasic mediation of the sulfur species benefits reduction kinetics of LiPS conversion,especially for the massive Li_(2)S_(2)/Li_(2)S growth scenario by affording an additional solution directed route in case of conductive surface being largely *** strategy endows the Li-S batteries with improved cycling stability(836 mA h g^(-1)after 180 cycles),rate capability(547 mA h g^(-1)at 4 C)and high sulfur loading superiority(2.96 mA h cm^(-2)at 2.4 mg cm^(-2)).This work hopes to enlighten the employment of bi-phasic electrocatalysts to dictate liquid-solid transformation of intermediates for conversion chemistry batteries.

This review summarizes recent insights into the Mg corrosion mechanism, clarifies many critical controversial points regarding the Mg corrosion behaviour, and updates some efforts made to extend the industrial application of Mg alloys. Based on the new understandings gained so far, future research directions are also suggested in the review. This review has the following logic. The first section "1. Scope"is a consolidation of the new understandings or developments regarding the Mg corrosion mechanism and the new applications for Mg alloys. It also highlights some key points for the review. The second section "2. Widely accepted knowledge" briefly summarizes the general understanding of Mg corrosion gained so far, which acts as the foundation for the following sections. The third section "3. Recently deepened insights" mainly briefs on some new insights into Mg corrosion phenomena based on recent findings. Different interpretations on the corrosion behaviours are comprehensively discussed in the fourth section "4. Controversial points" and the conclusions are drawn in the subsection"4.5 Clarified points". Apart from the fundamental understandings, various efforts in the application of Mg alloys are presented in the fifth section "5. New applications". Following the research tendency as indicated in the review, prioritized research areas are suggested in "*** directions". The review is concluded with "7. Concluding remarks" at last.

Photonic and plasmonic hybrid nanostructures are the key solution for integratednanophotonic circuits with ultracompact size but relative low loss. However,the poor tunability and modulability of conventional waveguides makesthem cumbersome for optical multiplexing. Here we make use of twodimensionalmolecular crystal, α-Sb_(2)O_(3) as a dielectric waveguide via totalinternal reflection, which shows polarization-sensitive modulation of the propagatingbeams due to its large polarization mode dispersion. Both experimentsand simulations are performed to verify such concept. These Sb_(2)O_(3) nanoflakescan be coupled with plasmonic nanowires to form nanophotonic beam splittersand routers which can be easily modulated by changing the polarization of theincidence. It thus provides a robust, exploitable and tunable platform for onchipnanophotonics.

Red emitting phosphors play a significant role in accelerating the improvement of illumination quality for white light emitting diodes(WLEDs).In this work,by using solid-state reaction method,an efficient novel Ba_(2)LuNbO_(6):Eu^(3+)phosphor with double-perovskite structure was successfully ***,a series of Ba_(2)LuNbO_(6):Eu^(3+)red phosphors can be efficiently pumped by the near-ultraviolet(UV)light and then present high-brightness at orange emission(598 nm,~5D_(0)→~7 F_(1))and red emission(610 nm,~5D_(0)→~7 F_(2)).The ratio values of 610 to 598 nm in Ba_(2)LuNbO_(6):Eu^(3+)phosphors exceed 1 when the content of Eu^(3+)is larger than 0.4 mol,because the occupation of Eu^(3+)ions is changed from Lu^(3+)ions with symmetric sites to Ba^(2+)ions with asymmetric ***,the optimized concentration of Eu^(3+)at the~5D_(0)→~7 F_(2)transitions is obtained when x=1,indicating that there is non-concentration quenching in Ba_(2)LuNbO_(6):Eu^(3+)***,the CIE chromaticity coordinates of Ba_(2)LuNbO_(6):Eu^(3+)was calculated to be(0.587,0.361),the color purity was calculated to be 72.26%and internal quenching efficiency(IQE)was measured to be 67%.Finally,the thermal stability of Ba_(2)LuNbO_(6):Eu^(3+)phosphors was also *** work demonstrates that the novel double-perovskite red-emitting Ba_(2)LuNbO_(6):Eu^(3+)phosphors are prospective red emitting elements for WLEDs applications.

MXenes,a new family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides or nitrides,have attracted tremendous attention for various applications due to their unique properties such as good electrical conductivity,hydrophilicity,and ion *** this work,Ti_(3)C_(2) MXene,or MX,is converted to MX-TiO_(2) composites using a simple and rapid microwave hydrothermal treatment in HCl/NaCl mixture solution that induces formation of fine TiO_(2) particles on the MX parent structure and imparts photocatalytic activity to the resulting MX-TiO_(2) *** composites were used for enrofloxacin(ENR),a frequently found contaminating antibiotic,removal from *** relative amount of the MX and TiO_(2) can be controlled by controlling the hydrothermal temperature resulting in composites with tunable adsorption/photocatalytic *** addition was found to play important role as composites synthesized without NaCl could not adsorb enrofloxacin *** NaCl into the hydrothermal treatment causes sodium ions to be simultaneously intercalated into the composite structure,improving ENR adsorption greatly from 1 to 6 mg ENR/g *** also slows down the MX to TiO2 conversion leading to a smaller and more uniform distribution of TiO_(2) particles on the ***-TiO_(2)/NaCl composites,which have sodium intercalated in their structures,showed both higher ENR adsorption and photocatalytic activity than composites without NaCl despite the latter having higher TiO2 *** ENR on the composites can be efficiently degraded by free radicals generated from the photoexcited TiO2 particles,leading to high photocatalytic degradation *** demonstrates the synergetic effect between adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of the synthesized compounds.
