Vanadium-based compounds with high theoretical capacities and relatively stable crystal structures are potential cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Nevertheless, their low electronic conductivity and sluggish zinc-ion diffusion kinetics in the crystal lattice are greatly obstructing their practical application. Herein, a general and simple nitrogen doping strategy is proposed to construct nitrogen-doped VO2(B) nanobelts (denoted as VO2-N) by the ammonia heat treatment. Compared wit...

Abstract N-doped TiO , denoted as T_400, was prepared simply by the facile thermal hydrolysis of TiOSO using NH OH as both a precipitating agent and a nitrogen source. Compared to TiO without nitrogen doping, T_400 provides superior photocatalytic activity toward the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol and benzylamine under visible light irradiation, with > 85 % conversion and > 95 % selectivity to benzaldehyde and N-benzylidenebenzylamine products, respectively. The increased photoactivity...
