Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) has received very little exploration on its importance in the realm of battery-type energy storage technologies. They are abundantly present in seawater, and if successfully extracted and utilized in energy storage systems, it could lead to the long-term advancement of human civilization. Here, we fabricated an all-solid-state supercapacitor (ASSSC) using tellurium nanotubes decorated cobalt magnesium telluride microtubes (Te NTs@CoMgTe MTs) clad on nickel foam (NF). Owing to the unique mixed phase hierarchical structure, Te NTs@CoMgTe MTs showcases some advancement in energy storage performance. When tested in a three-electrode system, multiphasic hybrid of elemental Te and metal tellurides, Te NTs@CoMgTe MTs outperforms the monometallic telluride owing to the strong synergistic interaction effect triggered from conductive three components and delivers a long-life span performance up to 15,000 cycles. The fabricated Te NT@CoMgTe MT//AC solid-state device exhibits a maximum areal capacity of 59.2 μAh cm-2 (56.3 mAh g-1) at a current density of 6 mA cm-2 with a maximum energy density of 42.2 Wh kg-1 (46.5 μWh cm-2) at a power density of 6857.1 W kg-1 (7574.6 μW cm-2). The performance of the device is rigid even at different bending angles (0 to 180°) which validates the extensibility of the process for future applications.

Developments in conducting polymer-, metal oxide-, and carbon nanotube-based composite electrode materials for supercapacitors: a review. RSC Adv 2024; 14:9406-9439. [PMID: 38516158 PMCID: PMC10951819 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08312h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Supercapacitors are the latest development in the field of energy storage devices (ESDs). A lot of research has been done in the last few decades to increase the performance of supercapacitors. The electrodes of supercapacitors are modified by composite materials based on conducting polymers, metal oxide nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, MXenes, chalcogenides, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), etc. In comparison to rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors have advantages such as quick charging and high power density. This review is focused on the progress in the development of electrode materials for supercapacitors using composite materials based on conducting polymers, graphene, metal oxide nanoparticles/nanofibres, and CNTs. Moreover, we investigated different types of ESDs as well as their electrochemical energy storage mechanisms and kinetic aspects. We have also discussed the classification of different types of SCs; advantages and drawbacks of SCs and other ESDs; and the use of nanofibres, carbon, CNTs, graphene, metal oxide-nanofibres, and conducting polymers as electrode materials for SCs. Furthermore, modifications in the development of different types of SCs such as pseudo-capacitors, hybrid capacitors, and electrical double-layer capacitors are discussed in detail; both electrolyte-based and electrolyte-free supercapacitors are taken into consideration. This review will help in designing and fabricating high-performance supercapacitors with high energy density and power output, which will act as an alternative to Li-ion batteries in the future.

Abstract
Metal-organic cages/polyhedra (MOCs) are versatile building blocks for advanced polymer networks with properties that synergistically blend those of traditional polymers and crystalline frameworks. Nevertheless, constructing polyMOCs from very stable Pt(II)-based MOCs or mixtures of metal ions such as Pd(II) and Pt(II) has not, to our knowledge, been demonstrated, nor has exploration of how the dynamics of metal-ligand exchange at the MOC level may impact bulk polyMOC energy dissipation. Here, we introduce a new class of polymer metal-organic cage (polyMOC) gels featuring polyethylene glycol (PEG) strands of varied length cross-linked through bis-pyridyl-carbazole-based M6L12 cubes, where M is Pd(II), Pt(II), or mixtures thereof. We show that, while polyMOCs with varied Pd(II) content have similar network structures, their average stress-relaxation rates are tunable over 3 orders of magnitude due to differences in Pd(II)- and Pt(II)-ligand exchange rates at the M6L12 junction level. Moreover, mixed-metal polyMOCs display relaxation times indicative of intrajunction cooperative interactions, which stands in contrast to previous materials based on point metal junctions. Altogether, this work (1) introduces a novel MOC architecture for polyMOC design, (2) shows that polyMOCs can be prepared from mixtures of Pd(II)/Pt(II), and (3) demonstrates that polyMOCs display unique relaxation behavior due to their multivalent junctions, offering a strategy for controlling polyMOC properties independently of their polymer components.

Abstract
The quest for eco-friendly materials with anticipated positive impact for sustainability is crucial to achieve the UN sustainable development goals. Classical strategies of composite materials can be applied on novel nanomaterials and green materials. Besides the actual technology and applications also processing and manufacturing methods should be further advanced to make entire technology concepts sustainable. Here, they show an efficient way to combine two low-cost materials, cellulose and zinc oxide (ZnO), to achieve novel functional and "green" materials via paper-making processes. While cellulose is the most abundant and cost-effective organic material extractable from nature. ZnO is cheap and known of its photocatalytic, antibacterial, and UV absorption properties. ZnO nanowires are grown directly onto cellulose fibers in water solutions and then dewatered in a process mimicking existing steps of large-scale papermaking technology. The ZnO NW paper exhibits excellent photo-conducting properties under simulated sunlight with good ON/OFF switching and long-term stability (90 minutes). It also acts as an efficient photocatalyst for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation (5.7 × 10-9 m s-1) with an envision the possibility of using it in buildings to enable large surfaces to spontaneously produce H2O2 at its outer surface. Such technology promise for fast degradation of microorganisms to suppress the spreading of diseases.

Abstract
Ionic conductors (ICs) find widespread applications across different fields, such as smart electronic, ionotronic, sensor, biomedical, and energy harvesting/storage devices, and largely determine the function and performance of these devices. In the pursuit of developing ICs required for better performing and sustainable devices, cellulose appears as an attractive and promising building block due to its high abundance, renewability, striking mechanical strength, and other functional features. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary regarding ICs fabricated from cellulose and cellulose-derived materials in terms of fundamental structural features of cellulose, the materials design and fabrication techniques for engineering, main properties and characterization, and diverse applications. Next, the potential of cellulose-based ICs to relieve the increasing concern about electronic waste within the frame of circularity and environmental sustainability and the future directions to be explored for advancing this field are discussed. Overall, we hope this review can provide a comprehensive summary and unique perspectives on the design and application of advanced cellulose-based ICs and thereby encourage the utilization of cellulosic materials toward sustainable devices.

Abstract
Transition-metal-oxide-based electrochemical electrodes usually suffer from poor electron and ion transport, leading to deteriorated rate performance and cycling stability. Herein, we address these issues by developing a facile "conducting encapsulation" strategy toward a nanoporous PEDOT nanowire/MnO2 nanoparticle/PEDOT nanowire composite electrode. Through encapsulation of the PEDOT nanowire network, the overall electrochemical performance of the resultant composite electrode is substantially enhanced. Specifically, the rate capability and capacitance retention are improved by ∼48.2 and ∼33%, respectively, which are 89.8% at 0.8-40 mA/cm2 and 93% after 3000 charge/discharge cycles at 2.0 mA/cm2, respectively. Moreover, the specific capacitance is increased by ∼6 times of that of the MnO2@PEDOT NW electrode at ∼200 mA/cm2. We find that a nanoporous conducting nanowire network that encapsulates a MnO2 nanoparticle layer can provide efficient electron and ion transport paths and stabilize the structure of MnO2 from collapse during charge/discharge cycling and mechanical deformation. This strategy can be applied to other pseudocapacitive material-based electrochemical electrodes, such as transition-metal oxides and conducting polymers.

Abstract
Negatively charged surfaces and readily oxidizabile characteristics fundamentally restrict the use of MXene building blocks as anodes for anion intercalation. Herein, by embedding bacterial cellulose nanofibers with conformal polypyrrole coating (BC@PPy) and populating them between MXene (Ti3C2Tx) interlayers, we enable the fabricated MXene/BC@PPy (MBP) composite films to be highly efficient anodes for Cl--capturing in asymmetric capacitive deionization (CDI) systems. Performance gains are realized due to the surface electronegativity of MXene nanosheets becoming compensated by positively charged BC@PPy nanofibers, alleviating electrostatic repulsion, thus realizing reversible Cl- intercalation. More crucially, the anodization voltage of MBP is effectively enhanced as a result of the increase of the Ti valence state in MXene nanosheets with the addition of the BC@PPy spacer. Furthermore, BC@PPy nanopillars effectively enlarge the interlayer space for facile Cl- de-/intercalation, improve the vertical electron transfer between loosely deposited MXene nanosheets, and perform as additional active materials for Cl--capturing. Consequently, the MBP anode exhibits a promising desalination capacity of up to 17.56 mg g-1 at 1.2 V with a high capacity retention of 94.6% after 30 cycles in an asymmetric CDI system. This work offers a simple and effective strategy to unlock the application potential of MXene building blocks as anodes for Cl--capturing in electrochemical desalination.

Abstract
Flexible microelectronic devices have seen an increasing trend toward development of miniaturized, portable, and integrated devices as wearable electronics which have the requirement for being light weight, small in dimension, and suppleness. Traditional three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) electronics gadgets fail to effectively comply with these necessities owing to their stiffness and large weights. Investigations have come up with a new family of one-dimensional (1D) flexible and fiber-based electronic devices (FBEDs) comprising power storage, energy-scavenging, implantable sensing, and flexible displays gadgets. However, development and manufacturing are still a challenge owing to their small radius, flexibility, low weight, weave ability and integration in textile electronics. This paper will provide a detailed review on the importance of substrates in electronic devices, intrinsic property requirements, fabrication classification and applications in energy harvesting, energy storage and other flexible electronic devices. Fiber- and textile-based electronic devices for bulk/scalable fabrications, encapsulation, and testing are reviewed and presented future research ideas to enhance the commercialization of these fiber-based electronics devices.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2)-based nanostructures are promising electrode materials for supercapacitors (SCs) due to their low cost, eco-friendly nature, and high theoretical capacitance. However, the conductivity of MnO2 is poor, which is a big problem when trying to achieve the desired capacitance value. Herein, hexagonal-phase MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are directly grown on a 3D conductive carbon cloth (CC) (denoted as MnO2-NPs@CC) as a binder-free electrode through a simple and scalable hydrothermal strategy. The results show that MnO2-NPs@CC with a large specific surface area and high porosity could be employed as a positive electrode material for high-performance SCs. Owing to these attractive properties, the MnO2-NPs@CC electrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 660 F/g at a current density of 2 A/g in 6 M KOH aqueous electrolytes. Moreover, the MnO2-NPs@CC electrode demonstrates excellent cycling stability with high capacitance retention of 92.8% over 10,000 cycles. Such remarkable findings suggest that MnO2-NPs@CC with enhanced electrochemical performance is a favorable electrode material for next-generation high-performance SCs.

Water activated disposable paper battery. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11919. [PMID: 35902666 PMCID: PMC9334575 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-15900-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
We developed a disposable paper battery aiming to reduce the environmental impact of single-use electronics for applications such as point of care diagnosis, smart packaging and environmental sensing. The battery uses Zinc as a biodegradable metal anode, graphite as a nontoxic cathode material and paper as a biodegradable substrate. To facilitate additive manufacturing, we developed electrodes and current collector inks that can be stencil printed on paper to create water-activated batteries of arbitrary shape and size. The battery remains inactive until water is provided and absorbed by the paper substrate, taking advantage of its natural wicking behavior. Once activated, a single cell provides an open circuit potential of 1.2 V and a peak power density of 150 µW/cm2 at 0.5 mA. As a proof of concept, we fabricated a two cell battery and used it to power an alarm clock and its liquid crystal display.

Abstract
Here, we report the performance of a biodegradable polymer-based Plastic chip Electrode (PCE) as a current collector in supercapacitor applications. Its production was evaluated using two redox materials (conducting polymers polyaniline and poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)) and a layered material, rGO. The conducting polymers were directly deposited over the Eco-friendly PCE (EPCE) using the galvanostatic method. The rGO was prepared in the conventional way and loaded over the EPCE using a binder. Both conducting polymers and rGO showed proper specific capacitance compared to previous studies with regular current collectors. Electrodes were found highly stable during experiments in high acidic medium. The supercapacitive performance was evaluated with cyclic voltammetry, charge–discharge measurements, and impedance spectroscopy. The supercapacitive materials were also characterized for their electrical and microscopic properties. Polyaniline and PEDOT were deposited over EPCEs showing >150 Fg−1 and >120 Fg−1 specific capacitance, respectively, at 0.5 Ag−1. rGO continued to show higher particular capacitance of >250 Fg−1 with excellent charge–discharge cyclic stability. The study concludes that EPCs can be used as promising electrodes for electrical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Nowadays, the study of metallopolymers is one of the fastest growing areas of polymer science. Metallopolymers have great potential for application in multiple technological and various biomedical processes. The macromolecules with the possibility of varying the number and type of metal ions along the entire length of the polymer chain are of particular interest. In this regard, this study presents results on two successfully synthesized homopolymers, random and block copolymers based on PMMA, containing ferrocene and terpyridine moieties in the side chain. Different architectures of copolymers may attribute interesting properties when creating complexes with various metal ions. A detailed hydrodynamic study of these structures was carried out, the consistency of hydrodynamic data was established using the concept of a hydrodynamic invariant, the absolute values of the molar masses of the studied objects were calculated, and the conformational parameters of macromolecules were determined. Using the Fixman-Stockmayer theory, the equilibrium rigidities of the studied systems were calculated and the relationship between the chemical structure and conformational characteristics was established. The studied copolymers can be attributed to the class of flexible-chain macromolecules. An increase in the equilibrium rigidity value with an increase of the side chain, which is characteristic of comb-shaped polymers, was determined.

Abstract
The application of flexible electronics in the field of communication has made the transition from rigid physical form to flexible physical form. Flexible electrode technology is the key to the wide application of flexible electronics. However, flexible electrodes will break when large deformation occurs, failing flexible electronics. It restricts the further development of flexible electronic technology. Flexible stretchable electrodes are a hot research topic to solve the problem that flexible electrodes cannot withstand large deformation. Flexible stretchable electrode materials have excellent electrical conductivity, while retaining excellent mechanical properties in case of large deformation. This paper summarizes the research results of flexible stretchable electrodes from three aspects: material, process, and structure, as well as the prospects for future development.

Abstract
In recent years, flexible energy storage devices have attracted the growing demand for flexible electronic systems. Therefore, research on reliable electrodes with high mechanical flexibility and good electronic and lithium-ion conductivity has become critical. Carbon-coated Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) nanostructures find essential applications in high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). Nevertheless, the conventional copper current collector with a thickness of several micrometers accounts for a large proportion of the LiB, making the low-energy density LiB with much less flexibility. Here, hundred nm-thick (LTO/Cu) copper foil-LTO nanostructures are fabricated using a scalable and straightforward process which can be assembled into a film into a flexible, lightweight electrode by etching a conventional copper foil to form an ultra-thin copper layer for LIBs (<1 μm). This process provides essential flexibility to the as-prepared electrode and provides template support for simple fabrication. The LiB cell using the novel LTO/Cu as the anode exhibits an energy capacity of 123 mA h/g during 40 charge-discharge cycles at a 0.1C rate. Besides, the coulombic efficiency of the LiB using LTO/Cu remains over 99% after 40 cycles. These results show the uses of this novel anode and its potential in high-density and flexible commercial lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Intrinsically conducting polymers constituting a subclass of macromolecules, as well as a still growing family of large, conjugated molecules, oligomers, and polymers, have attracted research interest for the recent decades. Closely corresponding to the fascination of these materials, combining typical properties of organic polymers and metallic materials, numerous applications have been suggested, explored, and sometimes transferred into products. In electrochemistry, they have been used in various functions beyond the initially proposed and obvious application as active masses in devices for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. This perspective contribution wraps up basic facts that are necessary to understand the behavior and properties of the oligo and polymers and their behavior in electrochemical cells for energy conversion by electrode reactions and associated energy storage. Representative examples are presented and discussed, and an overview of the state of research and development is provided. Particular attention is paid to stability and related aspects of practical importance. Future trends and perspectives are indicated.

Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has excellent physical properties and has been used in a wide range of applications in various fields. Adsorption research on PTFE is essential as primary research for the further application of PTFE. We attempted to adsorb coal tar dyes and model drugs such as lidocaine onto PTFE as a guideline to search for medicines that adsorb onto PTFE. Saturation curves were obtained after analyzing the adsorption of coal tar dyes on PTFE using the Hanes-Woolf plot. In addition, we collected multiple cases of ATR-FTIR spectral changes and/or retention depending on TPM derivatives and other adsorbates. Lidocaine matched some coal tar dye for the apparent spectral changes between the adsorbed molecules and its crystalline powder. The apparent spectral changes are blue-shifted, suggesting a hydrophobic interaction between the dyes/lidocaine and porous PTFE. This work provides a promising strategy for further application of PTFE.

Abstract
The ability to tune the interfacial region in core-shell nanocomposites with a surface reconstruction as a source for surface energy (de)stabilization is presented. We consider Zn-doped nickel molybdate (NiMoO4) (ZNM) as a core crystal structure and AWO4 (A = Co or Mg) as a shell surface. Based on the density-functional theory method, the interfacial models of Zn-doped NiMoO4@AWO4 (ZNM@AW) core@shell structures are simulated and revealed to undergo surface reconstruction on the (-110) and (-202) surfaces of the AW shells, where the surface degradation of ZNM@MW(-110) is observed. The theoretical simulation is validated against the electrochemical performance of supercapacitor studies. To verify, we synthesize the hierarchical ZNM@AW core@shell semiconductor structured nanocomposites grown on a nickel foam conductive substrate using a facile and green two-step hydrothermal method. The morphology and chemical and electrochemical properties of the hierarchically structured nanocomposites are characterized in detail. The performance of the core@shell is significantly affected by the chosen intrinsic properties of metal oxides and exhibited high performance compared to a single-component system in supercapacitors. The proposed asymmetric device, Zn-doped NiMoO4@CoWO4 (ZNM@CW)||activated carbon, exhibits a superior pseudo-capacitance, delivering a high areal capacitance of 0.892 F cm-2 at a current density of 2 mA cm-2 and an excellent cycling stability of 96% retention of its initial capacitance after 1000 charge-discharge cycles. These fundamental theoretical and experimental insights with the extent of the surface reconstruction sufficiently explain the storage properties of the studied materials.

Abstract
Since the discovery of polydopamine (PDA), there has been a lot of progress on using this substance to functionalize many different surfaces. However, little attention has been given to prepare functionalized surfaces for the preparation of flexible electrochemical paper-based devices. After fabricating the electrodes on paper substrates, we formed PDA on the surface of the working electrode using a chemical polymerization route. PDA nanofilms on carbon were characterized by contact angle (CA) experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy (topography and electrical measurements) and electrochemical techniques. We observed that PDA introduces chemical functionalities (RNH2 and RC═O) that decrease the CA of the electrode. Moreover, PDA nanofilms did not block the heterogeneous electron transfer. In fact, we observed one of the highest standard heterogeneous rate constants (ks ) for electrochemical paper-based electrodes (2.5 ± 0.1) × 10-3 cm s-1 , which is an essential parameter to obtain larger currents. In addition, our results suggest that carbonyl functionalities are ascribed for the redox activity of the nanofilms. As a proof-of-concept, the electrooxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide showed remarkable features, such as, lower oxidation potential, electrocatalytic peak currents more than 30 times higher when compared to unmodified paper-based electrodes and electrocatalytic rate constant (kobs ) of (8.2 ± 0.6) × 102 L mol-1 s-1 .

Abstract
This work demonstrates the fabrication of tellurium-nanowires (Te-NWs)/paper based device encapsulated using laser assisted mircopyramid patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films. Although there are multiple reports published on 1D Te, most of them are limited to establishing its properties and studying its behavior as a sensor and research on the utilization of Te-NWs for physical sensors remain unexplored. Further, reports on p-type photodetectors also remain scarce. The fabricated Te-NWs/paper with micropyramid structured PDMS films encapsulation was used as a strain sensor, and it exhibited considerable improvement (∼60%) in sensitivity compared to smooth PDMS films. The gauge factor of the developed strain sensor was found to be ∼15.3. In addition, fabricated Te-NWs/paper device with contacts was used as a photodetector and it showed photoresponsivity of ∼22.5 mA W-1and ∼14.5 mA W-1in visible and NIR regions, respectively. Furthermore, the device exhibited long-term mechanical stability under harsh deformations. Fabricated 1D Te-NWs/paper device was utilized as a strain sensor to monitor the angular movements in the human body and successfully monitored various human motions, including wrist bending, finger knuckle, elbow joint, and knee joint. The successful demonstration of Te-NWs based physical sensors and utilization in broadband photodetectors opens avenues of research for tellurium based flexible and wearable devices.

Wang Z, Lee YH, Kim SW, Seo JY, Lee SY, Nyholm L. Why Cellulose-Based Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices? ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2021; 33:e2000892. [PMID: 32557867 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202000892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Recent findings demonstrate that cellulose, a highly abundant, versatile, sustainable, and inexpensive material, can be used in the preparation of very stable and flexible electrochemical energy storage devices with high energy and power densities by using electrodes with high mass loadings, composed of conducting composites with high surface areas and thin layers of electroactive material, as well as cellulose-based current collectors and functional separators. Close attention should, however, be paid to the properties of the cellulose (e.g., porosity, pore distribution, pore-size distribution, and crystallinity). The manufacturing of cellulose-based electrodes and all-cellulose devices is also well-suited for large-scale production since it can be made using straightforward filtration-based techniques or paper-making approaches, as well as utilizing various printing techniques. Herein, the recent development and possibilities associated with the use of cellulose are discussed, regarding the manufacturing of electrochemical energy storage devices comprising electrodes with high energy and power densities and lightweight current collectors and functional separators.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2021; 33:e2000657. [PMID: 32267033 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202000657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 25.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2020] [Revised: 02/07/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
It is inherently challenging to recapitulate the precise hierarchical architectures found throughout nature (such as in wood, antler, bone, and silk) using synthetic bottom-up fabrication strategies. However, as a renewable and naturally sourced nanoscale building block, nanocellulose-both cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibrils-has gained significant research interest within this area. Altogether, the intrinsic shape anisotropy, surface charge/chemistry, and mechanical/rheological properties are some of the critical material properties leading to advanced structure-based functionality within nanocellulose-based bottom-up fabricated materials. Herein, the organization of nanocellulose into biomimetic-aligned, porous, and fibrous materials through a variety of fabrication techniques is presented. Moreover, sophisticated material structuring arising from both the alignment of nanocellulose and via specific process-induced methods is covered. In particular, design rules based on the underlying fundamental properties of nanocellulose are established and discussed as related to their influence on material assembly and resulting structure/function. Finally, key advancements and critical challenges within the field are highlighted, paving the way for the fabrication of truly advanced materials from nanocellulose.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has transformed the world with its diverse applications, ranging from industrial developments to impacting our daily lives. It has multiple applications throughout financial sectors and enables the development of facilitating scientific endeavors with extensive commercial potentials. Nanomaterials, especially the ones which have shown biomedical and other health-related properties, have added new dimensions to the field of nanotechnology. Recently, the use of bioresources in nanotechnology has gained significant attention from the scientific community due to its 100 % eco-friendly features, availability, and low costs. In this context, jute offers a considerable potential. Globally, its plant produces the second most common natural cellulose fibers and a large amount of jute sticks as a byproduct. The main chemical compositions of jute fibers and sticks, which have a trace amount of ash content, are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. This makes jute as an ideal source of pure nanocellulose, nano-lignin, and nanocarbon preparation. It has also been used as a source in the evolution of nanomaterials used in various applications. In addition, hemicellulose and lignin, which are extractable from jute fibers and sticks, could be utilized as a reductant/stabilizer for preparing other nanomaterials. This review highlights the status and prospects of jute in nanotechnology. Different research areas in which jute can be applied, such as in nanocellulose preparation, as scaffolds for other nanomaterials, catalysis, carbon preparation, life sciences, coatings, polymers, energy storage, drug delivery, fertilizer delivery, electrochemistry, reductant, and stabilizer for synthesizing other nanomaterials, petroleum industry, paper industry, polymeric nanocomposites, sensors, coatings, and electronics, have been summarized in detail. We hope that these prospects will serve as a precursor of jute-based nanotechnology research in the future.

Abstract
Cellulosic materials are widely used in daily life for paper products and clothing as well as for emerging applications in sustainable packaging and inexpensive medical diagnostics. Cellulose has a high density of hydroxyl groups that create strong intra- and interfiber hydrogen bonding. These abundant hydroxyl groups also make cellulose superhydrophilic. Schemes for hydrophobization and spatially selective hydrophobization of cellulosic materials can expand the application space for cellulose. Cellulose is often hydrophobized through wet chemistry surface modification methods. This work reports a new modification method using a combination of atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atmospheric heating to alter the wettability of purely cellulosic chromatography paper. We find that once the cellulosic paper is coated with a single ALD cycle (1cy-ALD) of Al2O3, it can be made sticky superhydrophobic after a 150 °C ambient post-ALD heating step. An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation reveals that the ALD-modified cellulosic surface becomes more susceptible to adsorption of adventitious carbon upon heating than an untreated cellulosic surface. This conclusion is further supported by the ability to use alternating air plasma and heat treatments to reversibly transition between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic states. We attribute the apparent abruptness of this wetting transition to a Cassie-Wenzel-like phenomenon, which is also consistent with the sticky hydrophobic wetting behavior. Using scanning probe methods, we show that the surfaces have roughness at multiple length scales. Using a Cassie-Wenzel model, we show how a small change in the surface's Young's contact angle-upon adsorption of adventitious carbon-can lead to an abrupt increase in hydrophobicity for surfaces with such roughnesses. Finally, we demonstrate the ability to spatially pattern the wettability on these 1cy-ALD-treated cellulosic papers via selective heating. This ALD-treated hydrophobic paper also shows promise for microliter droplet manipulation and patterned lab-on-paper devices.

Abstract
Organic polymer-based batteries represent a promising alternative to present-day metal-based systems and a valuable step toward printable and customizable energy storage devices. However, most scientific work is focussed on the development of new redox-active organic materials, while straightforward manufacturing and sustainable materials and production will be a necessary key for the transformation to mass market applications. Here, a new synthetic approach for 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperinidyl-N-oxyl (TEMPO)-based polymer particles by emulsion polymerization and their electrochemical investigation are reported. The developed emulsion polymerization protocol based on an aqueous reaction medium allowed the sustainable synthesis of a redox-active electrode material, combined with simple variation of the polymer particle size, which enabled the preparation of nanoparticles from 35 to 138 nm. Their application in cell experiments revealed a significant effect of the size of the active-polymer particles on the performance of poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperinidyl-N-oxyl methacrylate) (PTMA)-based electrodes. In particular rate capabilities were found to be reduced with larger diameters. Nevertheless, all cells based on the different particles revealed the ability to recover from temporary capacity loss due to application of very high charge/discharge rates.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a new terthiophene bearing stable radical II is described. Through a cross coupling reaction between 2-tributylstannylthiophene and 6-(2,5-dibromo-thiophene-3-yl)pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (2), 6-[2,2′:5′,2″]terthiophen-3′-ylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (3) was prepared. The condensation of 3 with 2, 4-diisopropylcarbonohydrazide bis-hydrochloride affords the heterocyclic tetrazane (4), which was oxidized with 1,4-benzoquinone to form the stable radical II. II characterized by IR, ESR, and cyclic voltammetry. Oxidative electropolymerization of II and its precursor 4 at oxidation peak potential of the terthiophene using cyclic voltammetric scans produces radical functionalized polyterthiophene on a platinum electrode (poly(II)-Pt).

Abstract
The development of intelligent and multifunctional hydrogels having photothermal properties, good mechanical properties, sustained drug release abilities with low burst release, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility is highly desirable in the biomaterial field. Herein, mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) nanoparticles wrapped with graphene oxide (GO) were physically cross-linked in cellulose nanofibril (CNF) hydrogel to obtain a novel MPDA@GO/CNF composite hydrogel for controllable drug release. MPDA nanoparticles exhibited a high drug loading ratio (up to 35 wt %) for tetracycline hydrochloride (TH). GO was used to encapsulate MPDA nanoparticles for extending the drug release time and reinforcing the physical strength of the obtained hydrogel. The mechanical strength of the as-fabricated MPDA@GO/CNF composite hydrogel was five times greater compared to that of the pure CNF hydrogel. Drug release experiments demonstrated that burst release behavior was significantly reduced by adding MPDA@GO. The drug release time of the MPDA@GO/CNF composite hydrogel was 3 times and 7.2 times longer than that of the polydopamine/CNF hydrogel and pure CNF hydrogel, respectively. The sustained and controlled drug release behaviors of the composite hydrogel were highly dependent on the proportion of MPDA and GO. Moreover, the rate of drug release could be accelerated by near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation and pH value change. The drug release kinetics of the as-prepared composite hydrogel was well described by the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, and the drug release mechanism of TH from the composite hydrogel was anomalous transport. Importantly, this carefully designed MPDA@GO/CNF composite hydrogel showed good biocompatibility through an in vitro cytotoxicity test. In particular, the toxicity of GO was well shielded by the CNF hydrogel. Therefore, this novel MPDA@GO/CNF composite hydrogel with an encapsulation structure for controllable drug release and toxicity shielding of GO could be used as a very promising controlled drug delivery carrier, which may have potential applications for chemical and physical therapies.

Abstract
The emergence of "green" electronics is a response to the pressing global situation where conventional electronics contribute to resource depletion and a global build-up of waste. For wearable applications, green electronic textile (e-textile) materials present an opportunity to unobtrusively incorporate sensing, energy harvesting, and other functionality into the clothes we wear. Here, we demonstrate electrically conducting wood-based yarns produced by a roll-to-roll coating process with an ink based on the biocompatible polymer:polyelectrolyte complex poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). The developed e-textile yarns display a, for cellulose yarns, record-high bulk conductivity of 36 Scm-1, which could be further increased to 181 Scm-1 by adding silver nanowires. The PEDOT:PSS-coated yarn could be machine washed at least five times without loss in conductivity. We demonstrate the electrochemical functionality of the yarn through incorporation into organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). Moreover, by using a household sewing machine, we have manufactured an out-of-plane thermoelectric textile device, which can produce 0.2 μW at a temperature gradient of 37 K.

Abstract
Batteries have become an integral part of everyday life-from small coin cells to batteries for mobile phones, as well as batteries for electric vehicles and an increasing number of stationary energy storage applications. There is a large variety of standardized battery sizes (e.g., the familiar AA-battery or AAA-battery). Interestingly, all these battery systems are based on a huge number of different cell chemistries depending on the application and the corresponding requirements. There is not one single battery type fulfilling all demands for all imaginable applications. One battery class that has been gaining significant interest in recent years is polymer-based batteries. These batteries utilize organic materials as the active parts within the electrodes without utilizing metals (and their compounds) as the redox-active materials. Such polymer-based batteries feature a number of interesting properties, like high power densities and flexible batteries fabrication, among many more.

Abstract
Multifunctional cellulose membranes were developed from A4-sized printing paper via chemical modification. A4 paper is a widely used and easily accessible product with high cellulose content. Inspired by cellulose chemistry, we report a simple modification of the A4 paper, converting it from a common office supply to a user-modifiable functionalized cellulose membrane for practical applications. The hydroxyl groups of cellulose enable a facile tuning of its internal structure and polarity via chemical modification. In addition, the functionalized cellulose membrane has more stable mechanical strength compared to commercial cellulose-based filtration membranes. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the separation of a water/oil mixture using the functionalized A4 membrane; we have extended this idea to origami-assisted membrane applications. Finally, this versatile A4 paper chemistry may offer a promising strategy for the development of functional membranes.

Abstract
Planar and rigid conventional electronics are intrinsically incompatible with curvilinear and deformable devices. The recent development of organic and inorganic flexible and stretchable electronics enables the production of various applications, such as soft robots, flexible displays, wearable electronics, electronic skins, bendable phones, and implantable medical devices. To power these devices, persistent efforts have thus been expended to develop a flexible energy storage system that can be ideally deformed while maintaining its electrochemical performance. In this review, the enabling technologies of the electrochemical and mechanical performances of flexible devices are summarized. The investigations demonstrate the improvement of electrochemical performance via the adoption of new materials and alternative reactions. Moreover, the strategies used to develop novel materials and distinct design configurations are introduced in the following sections.

Abstract
This work presents an alternative method for fabricating Li-ion electrodes in which the use of aluminum/copper current collectors and expensive binders is avoided. Low-cost natural cellulose fibers with a 2-mm length are employed as binder and support for the electrode. The objective of this method is to eliminate the use of heavy and inactive current collector foils as substrates and to replace conventional costly binders with cellulose fibers. Moreover, no harmful solvents, such as N-methylpyrrolidone, are employed for film fabrication. Water-soluble carbons are also utilized to reduce the preparation time and to achieve a better repartition of carbon in the electrode, thus improving the electrochemical performance. Flexible and resistant LiFePO4 (LFP), Li4Ti5O12 (LTO), organic 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), and graphite electrodes are obtained with active mass loadings similar to those obtained by the current casting method. The initial discharge capacity of approximately 130 mAh·g−1 at 2 C is obtained for an LFP/LTO paper battery with an approximately 91.6% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. An all-organic prelithiated PTCDA/graphite cell without a transition metal is prepared and electrochemically tested. It is one of the first self-standing batteries that is composed of organic redox active molecules and biodegradable components reported in literature.

Abstract
Flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices based on polymer substrates have attracted worldwide attention. However, the current OLED polymer substrates are limited due to weak thermal stability, which is not compatible with the high temperature in OLED fabrication. Here, we developed a novel nanocellulose/polyarylate (PAR) hybrid polymer substrate with both high transparency and excellent thermal properties. Benefiting from the nanometer scale of the cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and the efficient interfacial interaction with PAR, the substrate exhibited greatly improved thermal stability, with a glass transition temperature of 192 °C, the thermal decomposition temperature of 501 °C, and upper operating temperature up to over 220 °C. Meanwhile, the hybrid substrate exhibits outstanding mechanical properties. Notably, no apparent transparency loss was observed after the CNF addition, and the hybrid substrate maintains a high transmittance of 85% and a low haze of 1.75%@600 nm. Moreover, OLED devices fabricated on the hybrid substrates exhibit a much improved optoelectrical performance than that of the devices fabricated on the conventional poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrates. We anticipate this research will open up a new route for fabricating flexible high-performance OLEDs.

Abstract
In recent years, numerous discoveries and investigations have been remarked for the development of carbon-based polymer nanocomposites. Carbon-based materials and their composites hold encouraging employment in a broad array of fields, for example, energy storage devices, fuel cells, membranes sensors, actuators, and electromagnetic shielding. Carbon and its derivatives exhibit some remarkable features such as high conductivity, high surface area, excellent chemical endurance, and good mechanical durability. On the other hand, characteristics such as docility, lower price, and high environmental resistance are some of the unique properties of conducting polymers (CPs). To enhance the properties and performance, polymeric electrode materials can be modified suitably by metal oxides and carbon materials resulting in a composite that helps in the collection and accumulation of charges due to large surface area. The carbon-polymer nanocomposites assist in overcoming the difficulties arising in achieving the high performance of polymeric compounds and deliver high-performance composites that can be used in electrochemical energy storage devices. Carbon-based polymer nanocomposites have both advantages and disadvantages, so in this review, attempts are made to understand their synergistic behavior and resulting performance. The three electrochemical energy storage systems and the type of electrode materials used for them have been studied here in this article and some aspects for example morphology, exterior area, temperature, and approaches have been observed to influence the activity of electrochemical methods. This review article evaluates and compiles reported data to present a significant and extensive summary of the state of the art.

Abstract
Herein, a one-step synthesis protocol was developed for synthesizing freestanding/flexible paper electrodes composed of nanostructured molybdenum oxide (MoO3-x ) embedded in a carbon nanotube (CNT) and Cladophora cellulose (CC) matrix. The preparation method involved sonication of the precursors, nanostructured MoO3-x , CNTs, and CC with weight ratios of 7:2:1, in a water/ethanol mixture, followed by vacuum filtration. The electrodes were straightforward to handle and possessed a thickness of approximately 12 μm and a mass loading of MoO3-x -CNTs of approximately 0.9 mg cm-2 . The elemental mapping showed that the nanostructured MoO3-x was uniformly embedded inside the CNTs-CC matrix. The MoO3-x -CNTs-CC paper electrodes featured a capacity of 30 C g-1 , normalized to the mass of MoO3-x -CNTs, at a current density of 78 A g-1 (corresponding to a rate of approximately 210 C based on the MoO3 content, assuming a theoretical capacity of 1339 C g-1 ), and exhibited a capacity retention of 91 % over 30 000 cycles. This study paves the way for the manufacturing of flexible/freestanding nanostructured MoO3-x -based electrodes for use in charge-storage devices at high charge/discharge rates.

Abstract
This paper describes the use of aluminum and zinc as anodic materials for a battery employing nickel (II) oxide (NiO) as cathode. Comparison of both materials resulted in the development of a compact, cost effective, and easy to use primary NiO/Al battery employing an alkaline electrolyte. The system features electrodes composed of powder forms of the active materials on modified paper substrates that are contained in a simple multilayer design utilizing thin laminated plastic materials to provide structure and flexibility to the battery as well as a paper separator. Various concentrations of potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte were examined and maximum performance was observed at 6 M KOH. A maximum current density and power density of 1.94 mA/cm2 and 1 mW/cm2 , respectively was achieved. This user-friendly device was able to produce a maximum capacity of 2.33 mAh/g when 2 mA/g was applied. This work demonstrates the viability of a paper-based battery featuring powder electrodes as a possible power source for microelectronic devices.

This article focuses on the use of graphene oxide-polyaniline (GO-PANI) nanocomposite as fluorescent probe for sensing of adenine (A) and guanine (G). Swollen liquid crystalline mesophase were used for the synthesis of graphene oxide-polyaniline nanocomposite. GO-PANI nanocomposite showed enhanced fluorescent at 441 nm (ƛ excitation = 361 nm) on interaction of purines viz A and G solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide, GO exhibited quenching at 540 nm (ƛ excitation = 261 nm). The fluorescence emission spectra of GO-PANI nanocomposite and GO were recorded in the the pressence of A and G concentrations upto 1.2 × 10-4 M. The limits of detection (LOD) calculated from the concentration dependence study for GO-PANI nanocomposite and GO are 7.5 × 10-6 M and 13.4 × 10-6 M respectively. The LOD in the case of GO is identical for both A (13.0 × 10-6) and G (13.6 × 10-6 M). The binding constant (Kb) determined for GO-PANI with purines are in the range of 0.05-0.08 × 103 M-1 which is higher in the case of GO (2.42-7.52 × 103 M-1). The lifetime measurement demonstrates, an excited state interaction of GO-PANI nanocomposite and GO with purines. This is evident from the increasing lifetime from 4.3 ns to 29.2 ns for GO-PANI nanocomposite, while 17.5 ns to 37.2 ns for GO respectively. The relatively short lifetime of the GO-PANI nanocomposite in comparison with GO suggest an electronic charge dissipation of the excited state between polyaniline and graphene oxide possibly due to the alignment of polyaniline on the graphene oxide sheet. The photopysical properties of GO-PANI nanocomposite and GO observed in this study is new and has potential for application as fluorescent probe for the detection of purines.

Abstract
In times of spreading mobile devices, organic batteries represent a promising approach to replace the well-established lithium-ion technology to fulfill the growing demand for small, flexible, safe, as well as sustainable energy storage solutions. In the last years, large efforts have been made regarding the investigation and development of batteries that use organic active materials since they feature superior properties compared to metal-based, in particular lithium-based, energy-storage systems in terms of flexibility and safety as well as with regard to resource availability and disposal. This Review compiles an overview over the most recent studies on the topic. It focuses on the different types of applied active materials, covering both known systems that are optimized and novel structures that aim at being established.

Abstract
A solution may be in one of three states: stable, unstable, or metastable. If the solution is unstable, phase separation is spontaneous and proceeds by spinodal decomposition. If the solution is metastable, the solution must overcome an activation barrier for phase separation to proceed spontaneously. This mechanism is called nucleation and growth. Manipulating morphology using phase separation has been of great research interest because of its practical use to fabricate functional materials. The Cahn–Hilliard theory, incorporating Flory–Huggins free energy, has been used widely and successfully to model phase separation by spinodal decomposition in the unstable region. This model is used in this paper to mathematically model and numerically simulate the phase separation by nucleation and growth in the metastable state for a binary solution. Our numerical results indicate that Cahn–Hilliard theory is able to predict phase separation in the metastable region but in a region near the spinodal line.

Abstract
Hollow nanostructures have shown great promise for energy storage, conversion, and production technologies. Significant efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of hollow nanostructures with diverse compositional and geometric characteristics in the past decade. However, the correlation between their structure and energy-related performance has not been reviewed thoroughly in the literature. Here, some representative examples of designing hollow nanostructure to effectively solve the problems of energy-related technologies are highlighted, such as lithium-ion batteries, lithium-metal anodes, lithium-sulfur batteries, supercapacitors, dye-sensitized solar cells, electrocatalysis, and photoelectrochemical cells. The great effect of structure engineering on the performance is discussed in depth, which will benefit the better design of hollow nanostructures to fulfill the requirements of specific applications and simultaneously enrich the diversity of the hollow nanostructure family. Finally, future directions of hollow nanostructure design to solve emerging challenges and further improve the performance of energy-related technologies are also provided.
