Tuning the structural architecture of the pristine two dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets through rational surface engineering have proven advantageous in the fabrication of competent catalytic materials. Inspired by the performance of h-BN based nanomaterials in expediting key organic transformations, we channelized our research efforts towards engineering the inherent surface properties of the exclusively stacked h-BN nanosheets through the incorporation of a novel competent copper complex of a bidentate chelating ligand 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (BP). Delightfully, this hybrid nanomaterial worked exceptionally well in boosting the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of azide and nitriles, providing a facile access to a diverse variety of highly bioactive tetrazole motifs. A deep insight into the morphology of the covalently crafted h-BN signified the structural integrity of the exfoliated h-BN@OH nanosheets that exhibited lamellar like structures possessing smooth edges and flat surface. This interesting morphology could also be envisioned to augment the catalysis by allowing the desired surface area for the reactants and thus tailoring their activity. The work paves the way towards rational design of h-BN based nanomaterials and adjusting their catalytic potential by the use of suitable complexes for promoting sustainable catalysis, especially in view of the fact that till date only a very few h-BN nanosheets based catalysts have been devised.

“…The shape of these spectra is close to that of Co 3 O 4 , 59 which testifies to the oxidation of surface Co. To reveal the contribution from different Co species, the spectra were fitted with synthetic components attributed to Co 0 , Co 2+ , and Co 3+ . As a Co 0 component, the spectrum of pure metallic cobalt was used, while the Co 2p spectra of ScCo 0.95 Fe 0.05 O 3 60 and CoO 59 were chosen as synthetic components for Co 3+ and Co 2+ , respectively. The fitting results are shown in Fig.…”

This article studies the doping of Li-rich cathode materials. Aluminum and iron were chosen as dopants. Li-rich cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, which were composed of Li1.2Ni0.133Mn0.534Co0.133O2 with a partial replacement of cobalt (2 at %) by iron and aluminum, were synthesized. The dopants were introduced at the precursor synthesis stage by co-precipitation. The presence of Fe and Al in the composition of the synthesized samples was proved by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction analysis and X-ray microanalysis. The cathode materials were tested electrochemically. The incorporation of Al and Fe into the structure of lithium-enriched materials improved the cyclability and reduced the voltage fade of the cathodes. An analysis of the electrochemical data showed that the structural changes that occur in the initial cycles are different for the doped and starting materials and affect their cycling stability. The partial cation substitution suppressed the unfavorable phase transition to lower-voltage structures and improved the electrochemical performance of the materials under study.
