It is a great challenge to explore cheap, abundant and eco-friendly electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

A NiMoS₄ nanoarray on Ti mesh (NiMoS₄/Ti), developed via topotactic hydrothermal conversion from its Ni(OH)₂ nanoarray (Ni(OH)₂/Ti), drives hydrogen-evolution current densities of 10 and 50 mA cm⁻² at overpotentials of 194 and 263 mV in 0.1 M KOH, respectively.

Two-dimensional 1T′ phase MoS₂ that was intercalated with a series of alkylated p-phenylenediamines exhibits excellent catalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction, supported by first-principles calculations.

Amino acid-functionalized graphene oxide nanosheet-incorporated composite membranes significantly enhanced the CO₂/CH₄(N₂) diffusivity, reactivity and solubility selectivities.

A simple strategy was developed to grow NiO nanosheets on carbon cloth as a binder-free electrode for a high-performance flexible all-solid-state supercapacitor device.

A porous nickel oxide–hydroxide film is deposited on passivated 3D nickel foam by anodic electrodeposition for a high performance supercapacitor electrode.

A novel Zr-MOF based smart adsorbent was fabricated for the simultaneous detection and removal of organophosphorus pesticides in wastewater.

An ultrastable Zn-MOF shows recyclable and multi-responsive sensing for Cr(iii), Cr(vi) and 4-nitrophenol in an aqueous system with high selectivity and sensitivity.

A novel 2-D photonic crystal hydrogel for selective glucose sensing is produced by attaching a 2-D colloidal array onto the phenylboronic acid modified hydrogel.

A vacancy induced 2D/2D Z-scheme bifunctional photocatalyst La₂Ti₂O₇/g-C₃N₄ was constructed and applied for enhanced solar-to-energy conversion.
