In this study, the electrospinning method is employed to synthesize one-dimensional(1 D) Fe_(2)TiO_(5) nanochains. The as-prepared Fe_(2)TiO_(5) nanochains exhibited superior specific capacity(500 mAh·g^(-1) at 0.10 A·g^(-1)),excellent rate performance(180 mAh·g^(-1) at 5.00 A·g^(-1)),and good cycling stability(retaining 100% of the initial specific capacity at a current density of 1.00 A·g^(-1) after1000 cycles). The as-assembled Fe_(2)TiO_(5)/SCCB lithiumion capacitor(LIC) also delivered a competitive energy density(137.8 Wh·kg^(-1))andpowerdensity(11,250 W·kg^(-1)). This study proves that the as-fabricated1 D Fe_(2)TiO_(5) nanochains are promising anode materials for high-performance LICs.展开更多

The as-prepared samples showed excellent adsorption and photodegradation performance toward the hazardous antibiotic doxycycline under simulated sunlight irradiation. The morphology, phase composition and in situ carbon doping could be precisely controlled by adjusting processing parameters. The carbon doping in Bi_2 MoO_6/In_2O_3-ZnO was derived from the cotton template, and the carbon content could be varied in the range 0.9–4.4 wt.% via controlling the heat treatment temperature. The sample with Bi_2 MoO_6/In_2O_3-ZnO molar ratio of 1:2 and carbon content of1.1 wt.% exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity toward doxycycline degradation,which was 3.6 and 4.3 times higher than those of pure Bi_2 MoO_6 and Zn In Al-CLDH(calcined layered double hydroxides), respectively. It is believed that the Z-scheme heterojunction with C-doping, the 3D hierarchically micro–meso–macro porous structure, as well as the high adsorption capacity, contributed significantly to the enhanced photocatalytic activity.展开更多
