Nitrogen pollution in surface water bodies, caused by the indiscriminate discharge of industrial and domestic wastewater, has become a global environmental concern. The excessive accumulation of nitrogenous wastes poses a serious threat to human health and disrupts the natural nitrogen cycle. Traditional water purification methods, such as chemical redox processes, physical adsorption, and biological treatments, often face limitations, including high energy consumption, low efficiency, large space requirements, prolonged treatment times, sludge generation, and high operating costs. Emerging electrochemical degradation techniques offer promising solutions for efficiently degrading nitrogenous wastes. These electrochemical technologies demonstrate advantages in cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, high efficiency, and broad applicability, while also presenting opportunities to generate added value during the electrodegradation processes. Nitrogen-containing wastes in wastewater can be classified into electrophiles (e.g., nitrate and nitrite) and nucleophiles (e.g., ammonia nitrogen, hydrazine, and urea) according to their redox properties. Based on the different properties of nitrogenous wastes, coupling corresponding electrochemical degradation reactions with tailored electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices provides opportunities for additional energy and value generation. Herein, advanced insights into valorization strategies during the electrodegradation processes of representative nitrogenous wastes in sewage are subtly provided, where the approaches for enhanced value output efficiency are highlighted, including (i) coupling the electroreduction of electrophilic pollutants with Zn-electrophile batteries to achieve energy output and simultaneous chemical production, (ii) coupling electro-oxidation of nucleophilic pollutants with hybrid direct fuel cells to realize energy output, (iii) applying hybrid water electrolysis systems assisted with nucleophilic wastes for energy-saving and clean H₂ production, (iv) assembling Zn-nucleophile batteries for energy storage and hydrogen production, and (v) producing valuable chemicals via C-N coupling processes. The cell design, coupled with selection criteria and optimizing strategies of advanced electrodes and cell configuration, is highlighted. Finally, an in-depth analysis of current challenges and future prospects is provided to deepen the understanding of advanced electrochemical cells and bridge the gap between experimental trials and practical applications with respect to mechanism investigation, electrode design and evaluation, and cell design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":6964,"journal":{"name":"物理化学学报","volume":"41 9","pages":"Article 100108"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144205004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their widespread application is severely hampered by uncontrolled zinc dendrite growth and detrimental side reactions (e.g., hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and passivation), which lead to reduced Coulombic efficiency and shortened cycle life. Current strategies to improve zinc anode stability mainly focus on artificial interface coatings, electrode structure design, and electrolyte optimization. Among these approaches, electrolyte additive engineering is considered the most promising for practical applications due to its simplicity, low cost, and excellent scalability. Nevertheless, conventional additives (including metal ions, polymers, and surfactants) typically address only single issues (either dendrite suppression or side reaction mitigation), failing to achieve synergistic effects. In this work, we developed sulfur-doped carbon dots (S-CDs) as a novel bifunctional electrolyte additive to significantly enhance AZIB performance. The carbon dot additive was synthesized via a facile calcination method, followed by systematic characterization of its structure and properties using methods such as fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Comprehensive electrochemical evaluations were conducted to investigate the influence of S-CDs on zinc deposition behavior and overall battery performance. Experimental results demonstrate the successful synthesis of sulfur-doped carbon dots with abundant surface functional groups. During battery operation, the strong binding affinity between S-CDs and Zn&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; effectively reconstructs the Zn&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; solvation shell, reducing water molecule content and thereby minimizing electrode corrosion and side reactions caused by interfacial active water molecules. Moreover, the S-CDs induce the formation of stable (002) crystallographic planes that continuously renew during plating/stripping cycles, with particularly pronounced effects under high current densities, significantly enhancing the structural stability of the electrode. The synergistic effect of these dual functions leads to remarkable improvement in zinc electrode performance and ultimately endows the battery with ultra-long cycling life. Benefiting from the positive effects of the carbon dot additive, the symmetric cell achieves exceptional stability for nearly 2000 h at a high current density of 10 mA cm&lt;sup&gt;−2&lt;/sup&gt;, far outperforming conventional electrolyte systems.

Free radical trapping experiments demonstrated that the superoxide free radical (·O₂⁻) and h⁺ were the primary active species.

The development of multifunctional ARC that can simultaneously enhance visible light transmittance while suppressing ultraviolet (UV) light transmission, along with excellent adhesion and wear resistance on glass substrates, remains a significant challenge in current research. Herein, we propose ultra-thin ARC made of multilayer dioxides, SiO₂–TiO₂–SiO₂ (STS) films, optimized using a machine learning approach with a Bayesian optimization algorithm. This process involved parameterized modeling of multilayer dioxide ARC, physical simulations using the Transfer Matrix Method (TMM), and evaluation of antireflective performance. The optimal configuration of STS ARC consists of 100 ​nm SiO₂, 10 ​nm TiO₂, and 10 ​nm SiO₂, increasing the transmittance of FTO glass by 9.2% in the 400–800 ​nm wavelength range. The ARC effectively enhances external quantum efficiency, achieving 96.94%, thereby increasing the short-circuit current density (<em>J</em>_SC) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) by 4%.
