  Supercapacitor is a promising solution for alternating current (AC) filtering to result in miniaturized electronic devices by virtue of its much higher specific capacitance than conventional mainstream electrolytic capacitors. Here, this work reports a novel electrode design for satisfying the high frequency response requirement of AC filtering based on the growth of carbon nanotube (CNT) electrode materials onto the pre-etched porous aluminum substrate, via an atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method. The developed supercapacitors with such CNT electrodes displayed a high areal specific capacitance of 586 μF cm− 2, a phase angle of − 80◦, and a resistor-capacitor (RC) time constant of 0.232 milliseconds (ms) at 120 Hz, demonstrating both improved areal capacitance and the high frequency handling capability. More importantly, a wide voltage window (2.7 V) is promised by the utilization of a commercial organic electrolyte, which is benefiting to boost the energy density and facilitate the design of high voltage filtering device in comparison with the most reported aqueous filtering supercapacitors.

  It is well known that multicomponent catalysts can improve catalytic performance, however their rational design and precise control of catalytic activities by varying the composition of the elements is challenging. Herein, we present a facile and scalable synthetic strategy for production of senary and septenary metal oxide nanoparticles with a chemical composition of MSbOx and MSb2Ox (M: Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, and Zn). All samples were formed in a tetragonal crystal structure with space group 136 and crystallographic symmetry P42/mnm while the details of their constituent unit cells are different, belonging to rutile or trirutile structures. These nanocomposites have an oxygen vacancy-rich construction with uniform elemental distributions that produce various surface functionalities. They showed instantaneous hydrogenation catalytic performance for reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol at room temperature. Among our samples, the senary catalyst with MSbOx chemical composition showed better durability and reusability owning to its morphological and microstructural properties. It showed 100% conversion of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol within 4 min at the 18th run without any by-products.

  In this paper, we explore the synthesis of new antimonide compounds based upon concepts of high entropy alloys (HEA). HEAs are usually multi-element (⪆5) alloys with near the equiatomic composition. They have been given very large attention due to their vast potential within many fields. We investigated the thermoelectric transport properties of antimony-based high entropy alloys. The observed electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity were comparable to those of cutting-edge half-Heusler thermoelectric alloys. Alloys with different valence electron counts (VEC) were synthesized and correlated with measured electrical properties.

  Transition metal antimonides form a class of intermetallic compounds, which has drawn considerable attention due to their potential applications in various fields. However, the formation of nanostructures containing multiple transition metal elements has been a challenge. Here, a new class of multicomponent antimonide nanoparticles with chemical composition ranging from quaternary to senary were synthesized via a simple, reproducible, and scalable thermal treatment method. This method allows uniform elemental distributions in a single nanoparticle, demonstrating the ability to obtain medium- and high-entropy antimonide nanostructures. The mechanism of formation was proposed and the characteristics of obtained nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Under the achieved optimal synthesis conditions, the formation of a single-phase with a hexagonal structure (P63/mmc) was observed for the quaternary and quinary samples, whereas in the case of the senary samples, a trace of minor impurity can be observed.
