Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24244625.

Abstract
A facile strategy, engineered for low-cost mass production, to synthesize biomass-derived activated carbon/reduced graphene oxide composite electrodes (GBPCs) by one-pot carbonization of blotting papers containing graphene oxide (GO) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was proposed. Benefitting from the water absorption characteristic of blotting papers in which the voids between the celluloses can easily absorb the GO/ZnCl2 solution, the chemical activation and reduction of GO can synchronously achieve via one-step carbonization process. As a result, the GBPCs deliver a large specific surface area to accumulate charge. Simultaneously, it provides high conductivity for electron transfer. The symmetric supercapacitor assembled with the optimal GBPCs in 6 M KOH electrolyte exhibits an excellent specific capacitance of 204 F g−1 (0.2 A g−1), outstanding rate capability of 100 F g−1 (20 A g−1). Meanwhile, it still keeps 90% of the initial specific capacitance over 10,000 cycles. The readily available raw material, effective chemical activation, simple rGO additive, and resulting electrochemical properties hold out the promise of hope to achieve low-cost, green, and large-scale production of practical activated carbon composite materials for high-efficiency energy storage applications.

Abstract
Thin films of several microns in thickness are ubiquitously used in packaging, electronics, and acoustic sensors. Here we demonstrate that natural wood can be directly converted into an ultrathin film with a record-small thickness of less than 10 μm through partial delignification followed by densification. Benefiting from this aligned and laminated structure, the ultrathin wood film exhibits excellent mechanical properties with a high tensile strength of 342 MPa and a Young’s modulus of 43.6 GPa, respectively. The material’s ultrathin thickness and exceptional mechanical strength enable excellent acoustic properties with a 1.83-times higher resonance frequency and a 1.25-times greater displacement amplitude than a commercial polypropylene diaphragm found in an audio speaker. As a proof-of-concept, we directly use the ultrathin wood film as a diaphragm in a real speaker that can output music. The ultrathin wood film with excellent mechanical property and acoustic performance is a promising candidate for next-generation acoustic speakers. Thin films of several microns in thickness are ubiquitously used in packaging, electronics, and acoustic sensors. Here the authors demonstrate an ultrathin wood film with an aligned and laminal structure and acoustic properties which allows application of the film as diaphragm for an audio speaker.

Abstract
Metal oxides can deliver high capacity to Li-ion batteries, surpassing conventional graphite, but they suffer from a huge volume change during charging-discharging and poor cycle life. Herein, we merge the dual strategies of 3D-network support and sandwiching design to tackle such issue. We develop a skillful O2-NH3 reactive pyrolysis of cellulose, where the preoxidation and the aminolysis result in the spatially separated charring of cellulose chains. A cellulose fiber is wonderfully converted into several ultrathin twisted graphenic sheets instead of a dense carbon fiber, and consequently, a cellulose paper is directly transformed into a porous flexible carbon paper with high surface area and conductivity (denoted as CP). CP is further fabricated as a 3D-network support into the hybrid CP@Fe3O4@RGO, where RGO is reduced graphene oxide added for sandwiching Fe3O4 particles. As a binder-free free-standing anode, CP@Fe3O4@RGO effectively fastens Fe3O4 and buffers the volume changes on cycling, which stabilizes the passivating layer and lifts the Coulombic efficiency. The anode thus presents an ultralong cycle life of >2000 running at a high capacity level of 1160 mAh g-1. It additionally facilitates electron and ion transports, boosting the rate capability. CP and CP@Fe3O4@RGO represent a technological leap underpinning next-generation long-life high-capacity high-power batteries.

Abstract
Aerogels are unique solid-state materials composed of interconnected 3D solid networks and a large number of air-filled pores. They extend the structural characteristics as well as physicochemical properties of nanoscale building blocks to macroscale, and integrate typical characteristics of aerogels, such as high porosity, large surface area, and low density, with specific properties of the various constituents. These features endow aerogels with high sensitivity, high selectivity, and fast response and recovery for sensing materials in sensors such as gas sensors, biosensors and strain and pressure sensors, among others. Considerable research efforts in recent years have been devoted to the development of aerogel-based sensors and encouraging accomplishments have been achieved. Herein, groundbreaking advances in the preparation, classification, and physicochemical properties of aerogels and their sensing applications are presented. Moreover, the current challenges and some perspectives for the development of high-performance aerogel-based sensors are summarized.

Abstract
The development of high-kinetic catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in a neutral electrolyte is of great importance but unfortunately remains a challenge so far. Herein, we report hybrids with abundant Ru-S-Sb bonds and engineered ultrathin antimonene (Ru-S-Sb/antimonene) as highly kinetic, active, stable electrocatalysts for the HER in an aqueous neutral electrolyte. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that Ru-S-Sb bonds coupling with antimonene synergistically work to promote HER activity. The present study brings us one step closer to understand the structure-composition-property relationships and practical electrolytic H2 production.

Abstract
Porous carbon materials are the most commonly used electrode materials for supercapacitors because of their abundant structures, excellent conductivities, and chemical stability. However, the manufacture of carbon materials possessing sizable pores and remarkable wettability with the electrolyte remains challenging. Herein, we developed a facile and industrially scalable method for the production of nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheets (PNDC-4) with excellent pore size distribution, large specific surface area (>1200 m2 g-1), high conductivity (>700 S m-1), and superb wettability either in aqueous or organic electrolyte. Particularly, PNDC-4 shows a high capacitance of 387 F g-1 (1 A g-1) in a three-electrode system with 3 M KOH and 80 F g-1 (1 A g-1) in a symmetric two-electrode system with EMIMBF4. The device exhibits an ultrahigh energy density of 81 W h kg-1 at a power density of 1.3 kW kg-1 and can still maintain at 60.8 W h kg-1 when the power density is increased to 266.6 kW kg-1. Moreover, the devices show superb stability that 94% of its initial capacitance is still maintained after 100 000 cycles at 20 A g-1.

Abstract
Solid acid catalysts (SACs) have attracted continuous research interest in past years as they play a pivotal role in establishing environmentally friendly and sustainable catalytic processes for various chemical industries. Development of low-cost and efficient SACs applicable to different catalysis processes are of immense significance but still very challenging so far. Here, we report a new kind of SACs consisting of sulfonated carbon nanofibers that are prepared via incomplete carbonization of low-cost natural nanofibrous cellulose followed by sulphonation with sulfuric acid. The prepared SACs feature nanofibrous network structures, high specific surface area, and abundant sulfonate as well as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. Remarkably, the nanofibrous SACs exhibit superior performance to the state-of-the-art SACs for a wide range of acid-catalyzed reactions, including dimerization of α-methylstyrene, esterification of oleic acid, and pinacol rearrangement. The present approach holds great promise for developing new families of economic but efficient SACs based on natural precursors via scalable and sustainable protocols in the future.

Abstract
The growth of white-rot fungi is related to the superior infiltrability and biodegradability of hyphae on a lignocellulosic substrate. The superior biodegradability of fungi toward plant substrates affords tailored microstructures, which benefits subsequently high efficient carbonization and chemical activation. Here, the mechanism underlying the direct growth of mushrooms toward the lignocellulosic substrate is elucidated and a fungi-enabled method for the preparation of porous carbons with ultrahigh specific surface area (3439 m2 g-1 ) is developed. Such porous carbons could have potential applications in energy storage, environment treatment, and electrocatalysis. The present study reveals a novel pore formation mechanism in root-colonizing fungi and anticipates a valuable function for fungi in developing the useful porous carbons with a high specific surface area.

Abstract
Polyaniline (PANI) nanorods were randomly deposited on oxidized 2D sugarcane pith-based porous carbon nanosheets by using dilute polymerization methods. The random stacked morphology of the PANI nanorods on the oxidized pith-based porous carbon nanosheets (SPCN) can be effectively controlled by simply changing the molar mass of aniline monomer. When the molar mass of the aniline monomer is increased to 0.02 M, the PANI nanorods can be randomly and uniformly stacked on the oxidized SPCN. Most of these stacked pores derived from random stack of the PANI nanorods on the oxidized SPCN are mesopore and macropore. These stacked pores not only facilitate the diffusion of ions in the stacked layer of the PANI nanorods, but also mitigate mechanical deformation of the PANI nanorods during the doping/dedoping process. Furthermore, the relationship between the properties of the oxidized SPCN/PANI-X (X represents the molar mass of aniline monomer) electrode materials and molar mass of aniline monomer is explored in detail. The oxidized SPCN/PANI-0.02 exhibits the best electrochemical performance in 1 M H2SO4. The largest specific electrode capacitance is up to 513 F g−1 at a current density of 0.25 A g−1. The oxidized SPCN/PANI-0.02 also exhibits excellent electrochemical cycling stability. Polyaniline nanorods are randomly stacked on the oxidized sugarcane bagasse pith-based carbon sheets by using the dilute polymerization methods, which exhibits excellent electrochemical performance.![]()
