Abstract
Water contamination irritated by Cd(II) brings about severe damage to the ecosystem and to human health. The decontamination of Cd(II) by the adsorption method is a promising technology. Here, we construct aminomethylpyridine-functionalized polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer/apple residue biosorbents (AP-G1.0-AMP and AP-G2.0-AMP) for adsorbing Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The adsorption behaviors of the biosorbents for Cd(II) were comprehensively evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacities of AP-G1.0-AMP and AP-G2.0-AMP for Cd(II) are 1.40 and 1.44 mmol·g-1 at pH 6. The adsorption process for Cd(II) is swift and can reach equilibrium after 120 min. The film diffusion process dominates the adsorption kinetics, and a pseudo-second-order model is appropriate to depict this process. The uptake of Cd(II) can be promoted by increasing concentration and temperature. The adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir model with a chemisorption mechanism. The biosorbents also display satisfied adsorption for Cd(II) in real aqueous media. The adsorption mechanism indicates that C-N, N═C, C-O, CONH, N-H, and O-H groups participate in the adsorption for Cd(II). The biosorbents display a good regeneration property and can be reused with practical value. The as-prepared biosorbents show great potential for removing Cd(II) from water solutions with remarkable significance.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic conversion of polysulfides is crucial to lithium-sulfur batteries and mainly occurs at triple-phase interfaces (TPIs). However, the poor electrical conductivity of conventional transition metal oxides results in limited TPIs and inferior electrocatalytic performance. Herein, a TPI engineering approach comprising superior electrically conductive layered double perovskite PrBaCo2O5+δ (PBCO) is proposed as an electrocatalyst to boost the conversion of polysulfides. PBCO has superior electrical conductivity and enriched oxygen vacancies, effectively expanding the TPI to its entire surface. DFT calculation and in situ Raman spectroscopy manifest the electrocatalytic effect of PBCO, proving the critical role of enhanced electrical conductivity of this electrocatalyst. PBCO-based Li-S batteries exhibit an impressive reversible capacity of 612 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1.0 C with a capacity fading rate of 0.067% per cycle. This work reveals the mechanism of the enriched TPI approach and provides novel insight into designing new catalysts for high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted considerable attention over the last two decades because of a high energy density and low cost. However, the wide application of Li-S batteries has been severely impeded due to the poor electrical conductivity of S, shuttling effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and sluggish redox kinetics of S species, especially under high S loading. To address all these issues, a Ni-CeO2 heterostructure-doped carbon nanofiber (Ni-CeO2 -CNF) is developed as an S host that combines the strong adsorption with the high catalytic activity and the good electrical conductivity, where the LiPSs anchored on the heterostructure surface can directly gain electrons from the current collector and realize a fast conversion between S8 and Li2 S. Therefore, Li-S batteries with S@Ni-CeO2 -CNF cathodes exhibit superior long-term cycling stability, with a capacity decay of 0.046% per cycle over 1000 cycles, even at 2 C. Noteworthy, under a sulfur loading up to 6 mg cm-2 , a high reversible areal capacity of 5.3 mAh cm-2 can be achieved after 50 cycles at 0.1 C. The heterostructure-modified S cathode effectively reconciles the thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of LiPSs for adsorption and conversion, furthering the development of high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Drastic capacity decay as a result of active sulfur loss caused by the severe shuttle effect of dissolved polysulfides is the main obstacle in the commercial application of Li-S batteries. Various methods have been developed to suppress the active sulfur loss, but the results are far from ideal. Herein, we propose a facile sulfur compensation strategy to improve the cyclic stability of Li-S batteries. The strategy is to compensate sulfur to the cathode by chemical reactions between additional sulfur and lithium polysulfides diffusing away from the cathode. The compensatory sulfur can effectively mitigate the loss of active sulfur in the cathode side caused by the shuttle effect and thus maintain the high capacity of the battery during charging and discharging for long life cycle assessments. Using this strategy, the specific capacity of the assembled Li-S batteries was maintained at >700 mA h g-1 for more than 500 cycles at 1 C and >1000 mA h g-1 for ∼100 cycles at 0.1 C, while the capacity of control batteries rapidly decreased to <200 mA h g-1 under the same conditions.

Abstract
The underlying interface effects of sulfur hosts/polysulfides at the molecular level are of great significance to achieve advanced lithium-sulfur batteries. Herein, we systematically study the polysulfide-binding ability and the decomposition energy barrier of Li2S enabled by different kinds of nitrogen (pyridinic N, pyrrolic N and graphitic N) and phosphorus (P-O, PO and graphitic P) doping and decipher their inherent modulation effect. The doping process helps in forming a graphene-like structure and increases the micropores/mesopores, which can expose more active sites to come into contact with polysulfides. First-principles calculations reveal that the PO possesses the highest binding energies with polysulfides due to the weakening of the chemical bonds. Besides, PO as a promoter is beneficial for the free diffusion of lithium ions, and the pyridinic N and pyrrolic N can greatly reduce the kinetic barrier and catalyze the polysulfide conversion. The synergetic effects of nitrogen and phosphorus as bifunctional active centers help in achieving an in situ adsorption-diffusion-conversion process of polysulfides. Benefiting from these features, the graphene-like network achieves superior rate capability (a high reversible capacity of 954 mA h g-1 at 2C) and long-term stability (an ultralow degradation rate of 0.009% around 800 cycles at 5C). Even at a high sulfur loading of 5.6 mg cm-2, the cell can deliver an areal capacity of 4.6 mA h cm-2 at 0.2C.
