Abstract
Photocatalytic oxidative coupling of amines is considered a mild, efficient, and sustainable strategy for the synthesis of imines. As a versatile organic semiconductor, conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) are attractive in photocatalysis areas due to the diversity of their polymeric monomers. Herein, we report that in addition to the design of monomers, size-confined polymerization is also a feasible strategy to modulate the structure and photocatalysis properties of CMPs. We adopted dibromopyrazine as polymeric units to prepare pyrazine-involved hollow spherical CMPs (H-PyB) using a template method and successfully performed size-confined polymerization of hollow samples by resizing the templates. Interestingly, the small confinement space induced the formation of CMPs with better conjugate extensibility, resulting in enhanced conductivity, narrowed bandgaps, improved photoelectric performance, etc. As a result, small-sized H-PyB CMPs had superior activity for the photocatalytic oxidation of amines. Particularly, the smallest H-PyB CMPs that we designed in the present work exhibited excellent performance for the photocatalytic coupling oxidation of amines. When using benzylamine as a model substrate, the yield of the corresponding imine reached ∼ 113 mmol·g-1·h-1, accompanied by almost 100 % selectivity. Furthermore, the as-designed confined samples exhibited stable photocatalytic activity as well as good applicability for oxidative coupling of different amines. This work not merely reports a kind of CMP photocatalysts with excellent performance for the imine coupling oxidation but also proposes an alternative strategy for constructing high-performance organic photocatalysts by size-confined synthesis.

Abstract
The development of granular carbon materials with outstanding selectivity for the separation of alkenes and alkanes is highly desirable in the petrochemical industry but remains a significant challenge due to closely similar molecular sizes and physical properties of adsorbates. Herein, we report a facile approach of using natural biomass to prepare novel granular carbon molecule sieves with a molecular recognition accuracy of 0.44 Å and propose a new three-region model for the pore size distribution of amorphous porous carbons. Coffee bean-based granule carbon molecular sieves (CFGCs) were prepared with precise micropore regulation with subangstrom accuracy and characterized using molecular probes to reveal the evolution of carbon structure during preparation. The CFGC-0.09-750 demonstrates exceptional selectivity adsorption toward C3H6 while excluding C3H8, with an uptake ratio of 106.75 and a C3H6 uptake of 1.88 mmol/g at 298 K and 100 kPa, showcasing its immense potential in industrial applications for separating C3H6 and C3H8. The novel three-region model established in this work can clearly and reasonably elucidate why the samples CFGCs can screen propylene from propane at the subangstrom level. This study provides important guidance for the development of new carbon molecular sieves with subangstrom accuracy in molecular recognition and separation capacity.

Abstract
Despite great efforts on economical and functionalized carbon materials, their scalable applications are still restricted by the unsatisfying energy storage capability under high-rate conditions. Herein, theoretical and methodological insights for surface-to-bulk engineering of multi-heteroatom-doped hollow porous carbon (HDPC), with subtly designed Zn(OH)F nanoarrays as the template are presented. This fine-tuned HDPC delivers an ultrahigh-rate energy storage capability even at a scan rate of 3000 mV s-1 (fully charged within 0.34 s). It preserves a superior capacitance of 234 F g-1 at a super-large current density of 100 A g-1 and showcases an ultralong cycling life without capacitance decay after 50 000 cycles. Through dynamic and theoretical analysis, the key role of in situ surface-modified heteroatoms and defects in decreasing the K+-adsorption/diffusion energy barrier is clarified, which cooperates with the porous conductive highways toward enhanced surface-to-bulk activity and kinetics. In situ Raman aids in visualizing the reversibly dynamic adsorption/releasing of the electrolyte ions on the tailored carbon structure during the charge/discharge process. The potential of the design concept is further evidenced by the enhanced performances in water-in-salt electrolytes. This surface-to-bulk nanotechnology opens the path for developing high-performance energy materials to better meet the practical requirements in the future.

Abstract
The synthesis of nanoparticles with a hollow and anisotropic structure have attracted considerable interest in synthetic methodology and diverse potential applications, but endowing them with delicate control of the hollow structure and outer anisotropic morphology remains a significant challenge. In this study, anisotropic nanoparticles with hat-like morphology are prepared via a kinetics-controlled growth and dissolution strategy. Starting from forming solid polymer nanospheres with location-specific compositional chemistry distribution based on the distinct reactivity and growth kinetics of two reactants. After etching by acetone, the inhomogeneity nanospheres transformed to hat-like nanoparticles through the kinetics-controlled dissolution of two kinds of precursors. Due to chemical etching and repolymerization reactions occurring within a single nanospheres, an autonomous asymmetrical repolymerization and concave process are observed, which is novel at the nanoscale. Moreover, regulating the amount of ammonia significantly impacts the growth kinetics of precursors, primarily affecting the composition and subsequent dissolution process of solid polymer nanospheres, which play an important role in constructing polymer nanoparticles with varying morphologies and internal structures. The as-synthesized hat-like carbon nanoparticles with an open carbon structure, highly porous shell, and favorable N-doped functionalities demonstrate a potential candidate for lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract
In addressing the demand for hierarchically mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (HMMOFs) with adjustable large mesopores, a method based on the synergistic effects of low-temperature microemulsions and Hofmeister ions is developed. Low temperature dramatically enhanced the solubility of hydrophobic solvent in the microemulsion core, enlarging the mesopores in HMMOFs replica. Meanwhile, Hofmeister salt-in ions continuously controlled mesopore expansion by modulating the permeability of swelling agent into the microemulsion core. The large mesopores up to 33 nm provided sufficient space for the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enrichment, and retained the remaining channel to facilitate the free mass diffusion. Leveraging these advantages, a colorimetric sensor is successfully developed using large-mesopore HMMOFs for femtomolar ALP detection based on the enrichment and cycling amplification principles. The sensor exhibited a linear detection range of 100 to 7500 fm and a limit of detection of 42 fm, presenting over 4000 times higher sensitivity than classic para-nitrophenyl phosphate colorimetric methods. Such high sensitivity highlights the importance of adjustable mesoporous structures of HMMOFs in advanced sensing applications, and prefigures their potential for detecting large biomolecules in diagnostics and biomedical research.

Abstract
The fast transport of electrons and ions within electrodes is crucial to the final electrochemical properties. Herein, we have developed a unique ultra-long one-dimensional (1D) skin-core multilayer structure based on electrospun carbon nanofibers mainly through a facile Stöber method combined with resorcinol-formaldehyde resin, which not only achieves bicontinuous electron/ion transport during the charge/discharge process, but also provides large surface area for ion adsorption. Particularly, controlling the number of active layers as well as regulating the active sites in layer both can obviously improve capacitive properties. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of the desirable architecture, such the rational-designed skin-core structural carbon nanofibers as supercapacitor electrode can deliver a high specific capacitance up to 255 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, favorable rate capability with 89% capacitance retention of initial capacitance at 8 A g-1, and excellent cycling stability with nearly 93% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles at 2 A g-1. Furthermore, the as-assembled symmetric supercapacitor devices also present a maximum energy density of 8.77 Wh kg-1 at 0.25 kW kg-1 and a maximum power density of 3.70 kW kg-1 at 6.74 Wh kg-1. Such skin-core carbon nanofibers provide an effective strategy to design high-performance supercapacitor electrode for the next-generation energy storage devices.

Abstract
Pursuing high power density with low platinum catalysts loading is a huge challenge for developing high-performance fuel cells (FCs). Herein, a new super fuel cell (SFC) is proposed with ultrahigh output power via specific electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC) + oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) parallel discharge, which is achieved using the newly prepared catalyst, single-atomic platinum on bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived hollow porous carbon nanorods (PtSA /HPCNR). The PtSA-1.74 /HPCNR-based SFC has a 3.4-time higher transient specific power density and 13.3-time longer discharge time with unique in situ self-charge and energy storage ability than 20% Pt/C-based FCs. X-ray absorption fine structure, aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscope, and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the synergistic effect of Pt single-atoms anchored on carbon defects significantly boosts its electron transfer, ORR catalytic activity, durability, and rate performance, realizing rapid " ORR+EDLC" parallel discharge mechanism to overcome the sluggish ORR process of traditional FCs. The promising SFC leads to a new pathway to boost the power density of FCs with extra-low Pt loading.

Abstract
Porous carbon particles (PCPs) present considerable potential for applications across a wide range of fields, particularly within the realms of energy and catalysis. The control of their overall morphologies and pore structures has remained a big challenge. Here, using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the precursor and polymer cubosomes (PCs) as the template, nitrogen-doped carbon cubosomes (SP-NCs) with a single primitive bicontinuous architecture are prepared. SP-NCs inherit the high porosity of MOFs, generating a high specific surface area of 825 m2 g-1 and uniformly distributed active sites with a 5.9 at % nitrogen content. Thanks to the presence of three-dimensional continuous mesochannels that enable much higher accessibility of internal active sites over those of their porous counterparts' lack of continuous channels, SP-NCs exhibit superior electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction with a half-wave potential of 0.87 V, situating them in the leading level of the reported carbon electrocatalysts. Serving as an air cathode catalyst of the Zn-air battery, SP-NCs exhibit excellent performance, outperforming the commercial Pt/C catalysts.

Abstract
Core-shell microspheres refer to duo-layer or multilayer microspheres, which are widely used in drug delivery, microreactors, etc. Accurate manipulation of microspheres is a research hot spot, while traditional manipulation methods including ultrasonic manipulation and laser manipulation still face some limitations. In this study, magnetic core-shell microspheres were adopted to realize the accurate manipulation of microspheres. Combined with microfluidic technology, polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSA)/Fe3O4 magnetic fluid was utilized as the core material and photosensitive acrylic resin became the shell material. After UV curing, a magnetic core-shell microsphere with an average size of 55 μm could be achieved, and the diameter was uniform and controllable. By adjusting the flow rate of the dispersed phase, the dual-core microspheres with different core particle sizes that ranged from 9.3 to 28.4 μm could be prepared. Experimental results showed that the prepared Fe3O4/acrylic resin core-shell microspheres can be used as functionalized microspheres that have good magnetic response properties and self-assembly ability. In addition, the magnetic manipulation and self-assembly of the prepared core-shell microspheres were presented with different external magnetic fields. The magnetic core-shell microspheres have shown great potential in the fields of biomedical engineering and targeted delivery of drugs.

Abstract
Herein, we report a versatile solvent-mediated polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) strategy to directly synthesize highly N-doped hierarchically porous structured carbon spheres with a tunable meso-macroporous configuration. The introduction of intermolecular hydrogen bonds is verified to enhance the interfacial interactions between block copolymers, oil droplets, and polyphenols. Moreover, the dominant hydrogen-bond-driven interactions can be systematically manipulated by selecting different cosolvent systems to generate diverse porous structures from the transformation of micellar and precursor co-assembly. Impressively, hierarchically structured meso-macroporous N-doped carbon spheres present simultaneously tunable sphere sizes and mesopores and macropores, ranging from 1.2 μm, 9/50 and 227 nm to 1.0 μm, 40, and 183 nm and 480, 24, and 95 nm. As a demonstration, dendritic-like N-doped hierarchically meso-macroporous carbon spheres manifest excellent enzyme-like activity, which is attributed to the continuous mass transport from the multiordered porosity. The current study provides a new platform for the synthesis of novel well-defined porous materials.

Abstract
Hollow carbon nanocages (HCNCs) consisting of sp2 carbon shells featured by a hollow interior cavity with defective microchannels (or customized mesopores) across the carbon shells, high specific surface area, and tunable electronic structure, are quilt different from the other nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. These structural and morphological characteristics make HCNCs a new platform for advanced electrochemical energy storage and conversion. This review focuses on the controllable preparation, structural regulation, and modification of HCNCs, as well as their electrochemical functions and applications as energy storage materials and electrocatalytic conversion materials. The metal single atoms-functionalized structures and electrochemical properties of HCNCs are summarized systematically and deeply. The research challenges and trends are also envisaged for deepening and extending the study and application of this hollow carbon material. The development of multifunctional carbon-based composite nanocages provides a new idea and method for improving the energy density, power density, and volume performance of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices.

Abstract
Supported metal catalysts have played an important role in optimizing selective semihydrogenation of alkynes for fine chemicals. There into, nitrogen-doped carbons, as a type of promising support materials, have attracted extensive attentions. However, due to the general phenomenon of random doping for nitrogen species in the support, it is still atremendous challenge to finely identify which nitrogen configuration dominates the catalytic property of alkynes' semihydrogenation. Herein, it is reported that uniform mesoporous N-doped carbon spheres derived from mesoporous polypyrrole spheres are used as supports to immobilized subnanometric Pd clusters, which provide a particular platform to research the influence of nitrogen configurations on the alkynes' semihydrogenation. Comprehensive experimental results and density functional theory calculation indicate that pyridinic nitrogen configuration dominates the catalytic behavior of Pd clusters. The high contents of pyridinic nitrogen sites offer abundant coordination sites, which greatly reduces the energy barrier of the rate-determining reaction step and makes Pd clusters own high catalytic activity. The electron effect between pyridinic nitrogen sites and Pd clusters makes the reaction highly selective. Additionally, the good mesostructures also promote the fast transport of substrate. Based on the above, catalyst Pd@PPy-600 exhibits high catalytic activity (99%) and selectivity (96%) for phenylacetylene (C8 H6 ) semihydrogenation.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) mesoporous polymers, combining the advantages of organic polymers, porous materials, and 2D materials, have received great attention in adsorption, catalysis, and energy storage. However, the synthesis of 2D mesoporous polymers is not only challenged by the complex 2D structure construction, but also by the low yield and difficulty in controlling the dynamics of the assembly during the generation of mesopores. Herein, a facile multi-dimensional molecular self-assembly strategy is reported for the preparation of 2D mesoporous polydiaminopyridines (MPDAPs), which features tunable pore sizes (17-35 nm) and abundant N content up to 18.0 at%. Benefitting from the abundant N sites, 2D nanostructure, and uniform-large mesopores, the 2D MPDAPs exhibit excellent catalytic performance for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. After calcination under N2 atmosphere, the obtained 2D N-doped mesoporous carbon (NMCs) with large and uniform pore sizes, high surface areas, abundant N content (up to 23.1%), and a high ratio of basic N species (57.0% pyridinic N and 35.9% pyrrolic N) can show an excellent CO2 uptake density (11.7 µmol m-2 at 273 K), higher than previously reported porous materials.

Abstract
The enormous complexity of the carbon material family has provoked a phenomenological approach to develop its potential in different applications. Although the electronic, chemical, mechanical, and magnetic properties of carbon materials have been widely discussed based on defect control engineering, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of the carbon surface chemistry, which leads to many controversial conclusions. Here, by analyzing various defects on carbon surface, some commonly neglected aspects and misunderstandings in this field are pointed out, clarifying how surface chemistry affects the chemical behaviors of carbon in some specific chemical reactions. With this full-scale consideration of the carbon surface chemistry, the behaviors of carbon materials with various functions can be well defined, which is indispensable for their scalable applications. Perspectives on future developments of carbon surface chemistry are also provided to enable practically accessible design of advanced carbon in those applications.

Abstract
Rapid and highly efficient C3H6/C3H8 separation over porous carbons is seriously hindered by the trade-off effect between adsorption capacity and selectivity. Here, we report a new type of porous carbon nanoplate (CNP) featuring an ultrathin thickness of around 8 nm and easily accessible ultramicropores (approximately 5.0 Å). The ultrathin nature of the material allows a high accessibility of gas molecules into the interior transport channels, and ultramicropores magnify the difference in diffusion behavior between C3H6 and C3H8 molecules, together ensuring a remarkable C3H6/C3H8 separation performance. The CNPs show a high and steady C3H6 capacity of up to 3.03 mmol g-1 at 298 K during consecutive dynamic cycles, which is superior to that of the state-of-the-art porous carbons and even porous crystalline materials. In particular, the CNPs show a rapid gas diffusivity, which is 1000 times higher than that of conventional activated carbons. This research provides a promising design principle for addressing the selectivity-capacity trade-off for other types of adsorbent materials.

Abstract
Asymmetric materials have attracted tremendous interest because of their intriguing physicochemical properties and promising applications, but endowing them with precisely controlled morphologies and porous structures remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a facile micelle anisotropic self-assembly approach on a droplet surface is demonstrated to fabricate asymmetric carbon hemispheres with a jellyfish-like shape and radial multilocular mesostructure. This facile synthesis follows an interface-energy-mediated nucleation and growth mechanism, which allows easy control of the micellar self-assembly behaviors from isotropic to anisotropic modes. Furthermore, the micelle structure can also be systematically manipulated by selecting different amphiphilic triblock copolymers as a template, resulting in diverse novel asymmetric nanostructures, including eggshell, lotus, jellyfish, and mushroom-shaped architectures. The unique jellyfish-like hemispheres possess large open mesopores (∼14 nm), a high surface area (∼684 m2 g-1), abundant nitrogen dopants (∼6.3 wt %), a core-shell mesostructure and, as a result, manifest excellent sodium-storage performance in both half and full-cell configurations. Overall, our approach provides new insights and inspirations for exploring sophisticated asymmetric nanostructures for many potential applications.

Abstract
Synthetic polymer-derived hollow carbon spheres have great utilitarian value in many fields for which the synthesis of proper polymer precursors is a key process. The exploration of new suitable polymer precursors and the construction of refined hollow structures in emerging polymers are both of great significance for synthetic methodology and novel carbon materials. Here, for the first time Schiff base polymer (SBP) colloid spheres with refined hollow structures were synthesized by tandem gradient growth and confined polymerization processes. The Hill equation was employed as a mathematical model to explain the gradient growth of SBP spheres. The size-dependent inner structure of SBP spheres can be adjusted from hollow to multichamber-surrounded hollow, and then to a multichamber structure. SBP-derived carbon spheres having similar surface area and chemical composition but different inner structures provide an effective way to investigate the relationship between inner structure and performance.

Nanoemulsion-directed growth of MOFs with versatile architectures for the heterogeneous regeneration of coenzymes. Nat Commun 2022; 13:1879. [PMID: 35388007 PMCID: PMC8986779 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-29535-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
As one of the most appealing strategies for the synthesis of nanomaterials with various architectures, emulsion-directed methods have been rarely used to control the structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, we report a versatile salt-assisted nanoemulsion-guided assembly to achieve continuous architecture transition of hierarchical Zr-based MOFs. The morphology of nanoemulsion can be facilely regulated by tuning the feed ratio of a dual-surfactant and the introduced amount of compatible hydrophobic compounds, which directs the assembly of MOFs with various architectures such as bowl-like mesoporous particle, dendritic nanospheres, walnut-shaped particles, crumpled nanosheets and nanodisks. The developed dendritic nanospheres with highly open and large mesochannels is successfully used as matrix for the co-immobilization of coenzymes and corresponding enzymes to realize the in situ heterogeneous regeneration of NAD+. This strategy is expected to pave a way for exploring sophisticated hierarchical MOFs which can be competent for practical applications with bulk molecules involved. Controlling the structure of hierarchical metal-organic frameworks via soft template remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a salt-assisted nanoemulsion-guided strategy to achieve continuous structure transition of hierarchical Zr-based MOFs.

Nanoengineering of N-doped Mesoporous Carbon Nanoparticles with Adjustable Internal Cavities via Emulsion-Induced Assembly. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15072591. [PMID: 35407924 PMCID: PMC9000577 DOI: 10.3390/ma15072591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The preparation of mesoporous carbonaceous materials with particularly adjustable morphology is currently a hot area of research in mesoporous materials. Herein, a novel approach is reported for the construction of N-doped multicavity mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (NMMCNs) based on the “emulsion swelling–acid curing mechanism” using a nanoemulsion assembly method under a high-speed shearing force. Intriguingly, this approach adopted a novel acid (HCl) curing procedure. Impressively, the morphology evolution from an internal multicavity to a single cavity and then to a non-cavity interior structure could be accomplished by simply varying the synthesis parameters. Additionally, this synthesis approach ingeniously overcame the following problems: (i) technically, the employment of high temperatures and high pressures in traditional hydrothermal reaction curing environments is avoided; (ii) this approach removes the requirement for silicon coating, which provides a limited pyrolysis condition, to obtain a multi-chamber structure. Resveratrol (Res) is an insoluble natural medicine and was successfully loaded into NMMCNs, thereby the Res–NMMCNs delivery system was constructed. Importantly, the Res–NMMCNs delivery system could still retain the antitumor and antioxidant activity of Res in vitro.

Abstract
The assembly of molecules into hierarchical superstructures is ubiquitous in the construction of novel geometrically complex hierarchical superstructures, attracting great attention. Herein, a metal-ligand cross-linking strategy is developed for the fabrication of ferric ion-dopamine coordination hierarchical superstructures. A range of superstructures with highly complex morphologies, such as flower-like, octopus-like, and hedgehog-like superstructures, are synthesized. The mechanism for formation of hierarchical superstructures involves the pre-cross-linking of ferric ion with dopamine molecules, the fabrication of iron-dopamine precursors aggregated into the spherical aggregates, the nanoscale aggregates sintering and ordering themselves upon equilibration, the nanodots polymerizing into nanorods, and finally the nanorods self-assembling into hierarchical superstructures. In-depth research illustrates that as the permittivity (ξ) of the reaction system increases, the resulting hierarchical superstructures tend to converge into spherical shape. As a proof of concept, the 0D nanospheres, 1D nanorods, and 3D hierarchical superstructures are fabricated through adjusting system permittivity. The hierarchical superstructure is utilized as peroxidase-like ligase mimics to enhance the effect of tumor photothermal treatment. Further in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrate that the hierarchical superstructure can effectively ablate tumor cells. This work opens new horizons in hierarchical superstructures with complex architectures, and has great potential in nanozymology, biomedical science, and catalysis.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers possess better electron conductivity due to large π-electron conjugated configuration endowing them significant scientific and technological interest. However, the obvious deficiency of active-site underutilization impairs their electrochemical performance. Therefore, designing and engineering π-conjugated polymers with rich redox functional groups and mesoporous architectures could offer new opportunities for them in these emerging applications and further expand their application scopes. Herein, a series of 1, 3, 5-tris(4-aminophenyl) benzene (TAPB)-based π-conjugated mesoporous polymers (π-CMPs) are constructed by one-pot emulsion-induced interface assembly strategy. Furthermore, co-induced in-situ polymerization on 2D interfaces by emulsion and micelle is explored, which delivered sandwiched 2D mesoporous π-CMPs coated graphene oxides (GO@mPTAPB). Benefiting from specific redox-active functional groups, excellent electron conductivity and 2D mesoporous conjugated framework, GO@mPTAPB exhibits high capability of accommodating Li+ anions (up to 382 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 ) and outstanding electrochemical stability (87.6% capacity retention after 1000 cycles). The ex-situ Raman and impedance spectrum are further applied to reveal the high reversibility of GO@mPTAPB. This work will greatly promote the development of advanced π-CMPs-based organic anodes towards energy storage devices. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel type of electrode material for high-performance hybrid supercapacitors is designed. The electrode mainly uses nitrogen-doped atoms to anchor the nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide on the inner wall of wood-derived carbon tracheids from Chinese fir wood scraps. The specific capacity of the composite single electrode is 14.26 mAh cm-2 at 10 mA cm-2. The hybrid supercapacitor with a composite electrode cathode and nitrogen-doped wood-derived monolithic carbon materials as the anode has a high specific capacitance of 4.74F cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2, and the capacitance retention rate is 93.15% after 8000 charge-discharge cycles. The highest energy density and power density reach 1.48 mWh cm-2 and 22.40 mW cm-2, respectively. After doping with nitrogen, the combination with the nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide is more uniform and stable, and the capacitance and cycling stability are significantly improved.

Abstract
Carbon materials modified with pores and heteroatoms have been pursued as promising electrode for supercapacitors due to the synergic storage of electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC) and pseudocapacitance. A vital problem that the actual effect of pores and heteroatoms on energy storage varies with the carbon matrix used presents in numerous carbon electrodes, but is ignored greatly, which limits their sufficient utilization. Moreover, most of modified carbon electrodes still suffer from severe capacitance degeneration under high mass load caused by the blocked surface and inaccessible bulk phase. Here, we shape an interconnected hollow carbon sphere (HCS) as the matrix by regulating and selectively-etching low molecular weight component in the inhomogeneous precursors, accompanied with the decoration of rich oxygen groups (15.9at%) and micropores (centering at 0.6-1.4 nm). Finite-element calculation and energy storage kinetics reveal the modified HCS electrode exposes accessible dual active surface with highly-matched electrons and ions for pores and oxygen groups to improve both EDLC and pseudocapacitance. Under a commercial-level load of 11.2 mg cm-2, the HCS exhibits a high specific capacitance of 288.3 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, performing a retention of 91.8% relative to 314 F g-1 under 2.8 mg cm-2 load, applicable for solar charging station to efficiently drive portable electronics.

Abstract
The design of porous noble metal catalysts holds great promise in various electrocatalytic applications. However, it is still a challenge to improve the durability performance through constructing stable framework. Here, we develop an interface and charge induced strategy to synthesize large-sized continuous reduced graphene oxide@mesoporous platinum (denoted as rGO@mPt) sheets under kinetic control by molecular self-assembly design. Graphene oxide (GO) is a promising large-sized growth interface for platinum. Cationic surfactant dioctadecyldimethylammonium chloride bridges the negatively charged GO and platinum precursors, while creating interconnected mesopores. The successful synthesis of rGO@mPt sheets relies on proper kinetic control, which is achieved by controlling pH, temperature and the complexation of bromide ions. rGO@mPt sheets present strong crystallinity with a pure face-centered cubic Pt phase. Worm-like mesostructures with an average pore size of 2.2 nm exist throughout the sheets. rGO@mPt sheets possess both stable framework and abundant active sites, which markedly improve the durability on methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) while maintaining relatively good catalytic activity. Long-term stability test shows a slight loss of 1.2% activity after 250 cycles. Amperometric i-t curves reveal the mass current three times higher compared to commercial Pt/C at 3000 s.

Abstract
Metal-free carbon nanozymes could be promising with the unique features of intrinsic catalytic ability, structure diversity, and strong tolerance to acidic/alkaline media. However, to date, the study of metal-free carbon nanozymes fell far behind metal-based nanomaterials, in which, the majority reported much more peroxidase-like activity than other enzyme-mimicking behavior (e.g., oxidase). Thus, the exploit of high-performance carbon nanozymes is of importance but challenging. In this work, the nitrogen-rich conjugated polymer (Aza-CPs) with rigid network structure is utilized as precursor to yield N-doped carbon material QAU-Z1 in high yield via a direct pyrolysis method. Surprisingly, QAU-Z1 stood out in oxidase-like behavior, which significantly outperformed the control materials GNC-900 and QAU-Z2 with nucleobase or conjugated small molecule as precursor, respectively. More importantly, it is a crucial revelation that the catalytic performance is closely related to the change of zeta potential for carbon nanozyme during the substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine oxidation process, as well as its catalytical capacity to O2 , which could be insightful to understand the inherent mechanism. This work not only presents the potential of conjugated polymers in constructing highly efficient carbon nanozyme, but also reveals the vital role of interaction mode between the nanozyme and substrate in the catalytic performance.

Abstract
Confined polymerization is an effective method for precise synthesis, which can further control the micro-nano structure inside the composite material. Polyaniline (PANI)-based composites are usually prepared by blending and original growth methods. However, due to the strong rigidity and hydrogen bonding of PANI, the content of PANI composites is low and easy to agglomerate. Here, based on confined polymerization, it is reported that polyaniline /polyether ether ketone (PANI/PEEK) film with high PANI content is synthesized in situ by a one-step method. The micro-nano structure of the two polymers in the confined space is further explored and it is found that PANI grows in the free volume of the PEEK chain, making the arrangement of the PEEK chain more orderly. Under the best experimental conditions, the prepared 16 µm-PANI/PEEK film has a dielectric constant of 205.4 (dielectric loss 0.401), the 75 µm-PANI/PEEK film has a conductivity of 3.01×10-4 S m-1 . The prepared PANI/PEEK composite film can be further used as electronic packaging materials, conductive materials, and other fields, which has potential application prospects in anti-static, electromagnetic shielding materials, corrosion resistance, and other fields.

Abstract
Designing ingenious and stable carbon nanostructures is critical but still challenging for use in energy storage devices with superior electrochemistry kinetics, durable capacitive activity, and high rate survivability. To pursue the objective, a simple self-assembly strategy is developed to access carbon superstructures built of nanoparticle embedded plates. The carbon precursors, 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone can form porous organic polymer with "protic salt"-type rigid skeleton linked by -NH2 + Cl- - "rivets", which provides the cornerstone for hydrogen-bonding-guided self-assembly of the organic backbone to superstructures by π-π plane stacking. The ameliorative charge density distribution and decreased adsorption energy in as-fabricated carbon superstructures allow the high accessibility of the build-in protophilic sites and efficient ion diffusion with a low energy barrier. Such superstructures thus deliver ultra-stable charge storage and fast proton-coupled kinetics at the structural-chemical defects, contributing to unprecedented lifespan (1 000 000 cycles), high-rate capability (100 A g-1 ) for carbon-based supercapacitors, and an ultrahigh energy density (128 Wh kg-1 ) for Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors. The self-assembled carbon superstructures significantly improve the all-round electrochemical performances, and hold great promise for efficient energy storage.

Abstract
Nanoreactors with a delimited void space and a large number of mesoporous structures have attracted great attention as potential heterogeneous catalysts. In this work, a cobalt and nitrogen co-doped binary carbon@silica@carbon hydrophobic nanoreactor was synthesized by an in situ synthesis method. Cobalt porphyrin was used as an active component to construct Co-Nx sites, and the purpose of the double carbon layer coating was to enhance the hydrophobicity of the surface of the nanoreactor. The optimal nanoreactor could achieve 96.9% ethylbenzene conversion and 99.1% acetophenone selectivity and showed outstanding universality to many other aromatic alkanes. The superior performance was mainly due to the presence of double carbon layers and the high content of Co-Nx sites. The double hydrophobic carbon layer coating could not only promote the adsorption of organic molecules, but also implant Co-Nx active sites on both the inner and outer surfaces of the nanoreactor. This work proposed a meaningful strategy to obtain a highly efficient nanoreactor for C-H bond oxidation.

Abstract
Functional carbon nanospheres are exceptionally useful, yet controllable synthesis of them with well-defined porosity and complex multi-shelled nanostructure remains challenging. Here, we report a lamellar micelle spiral self-assembly strategy to synthesize multi-shelled mesoporous carbon nanospheres with unique chirality. This synthesis features the introduction of shearing flow to drive the spiral self-assembly, which is different from conventional chiral templating methods. Furthermore, a continuous adjustment in the amphipathicity of surfactants can cause the packing parameter changes, namely, micellar structure transformations, resulting in diverse pore structures from single-porous, to radial orientated, to flower-like, and to multi-shelled configurations. The self-supported spiral architecture of these multi-shelled carbon nanospheres, in combination with their high surface area (~530 m2 g−1), abundant nitrogen content (~6.2 weight %), and plentiful mesopores (~2.5 nm), affords them excellent electrochemical performance for potassium-ion storage. This simple but powerful micelle-directed self-assembly strategy offers inspiration for future nanostructure design of functional materials.

Abstract
Triazine-based materials with porous structure have recently received numerous attentions as a fascinating new class because of their superior potential for various applications. However, it is still a formidable challenge to obtain triazine-based materials with precise adjustable meso-scaled pore sizes and controllable pore structures by reported synthesis approaches. Herein, we develop a solvent polarity induced interface self-assembly strategy to construct mesoporous triazine-based carbon materials. In this method, we employ a mixed solvent system within a suitable range of polarity (0.223≤Lippert-Mataga parameter (Δf) ≤0.295) to induce valid self-assembly of skeleton precursor and surfactant. The as-prepared mesoporous triazine-based carbon materials possess uniform tunable pore sizes (8.2-14.0 nm), high surface areas and ultrahigh nitrogen content (up to 18 %). Owing to these intriguing advantages, the fabricated mesoporous triazine-based carbon materials as functionalized porous solid absorbents exhibit predominant CO2 adsorption performance and exceptional selectivity for the capture of CO2 over N2 .

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal carbonitrides (MXene) have demonstrated great potential in many fields. However, the serious aggregation and poor thermodynamic stability of MXene greatly hinder their applications. Here, an interface-induced self-assembly strategy to synthesize ordered mesoporous carbon/Ti3 C2 Tx heterostructures (OMCTs) was developed. In this method, the composite monomicelles formed by Pluronic F127 and low-molecular-weight phenolic resol self-assembled on the surface of Ti3 C2 Tx to prevent the restacking of Ti3 C2 Tx and maintain its thermostability. The obtained OMCTs possessed high specific surface areas (259-544 m2 g-1 ), large pore volumes (0.296-0.481 cm3 g-1 ), and excellent thermodynamic stability (up to 600 °C). Benefiting from these advantages, OMCTs serving as the electrode materials for supercapacitor exhibited superior supercapacitor performances, including high capacitance of 247 F g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 , satisfactory rate performance of 190 F g-1 at 5 A g-1 , and cyclability.

Abstract
Coke resources are abundantly available worldwide and are a large by-product of tar production. Moreover, their utilization presents a series of environmental pollution problems. Common technologies for coal tar production applications urgently need to be upgraded because coal tar is listed as a national hazardous waste. This review associates coal tar development with deep processing technology for extracting environmentally beneficial compounds from coal tar, which have never been reported. Recent studies on the innovative approaches for extracting phenols and nitrogen-containing compounds from coal tar have been addressed, as well as a preparation method of carbon materials with high catalytic activity and a well-ordered structure by confined polymerization. Tremendous demand for further research and exploration of selectively extracted compounds from coal tar implies a new opportunity for polymerizing the resin and a great challenge for the current technology implemented for valorizing coal tar into ordered carbon materials. Consequently, more concerted efforts should be implemented to achieve a wide range of polymer resin applications and improve the quality of carbon precursors extracted from the coal tar, thus increasing the economic benefit and scientific value of coal tar.

Abstract
Polymeric fiber molecular sieves (PFMs) with ultrahigh surface areas, well-defined Murray's-law hierarchical nanoporous structures, and superior self-standing properties are of great interest for molecular-level separation applications. However, creating such PFMs has been proven extremely challenging. Herein, we report a cross-scale pore-forming strategy to create intriguing sponge fiber molecular sieves with hierarchical, tailorable, and molecularly defined nanoporosity by nanospace-confined chain-packing modulation at the molecular level. Robust secondary ultramicropores (<7 Å) and micropores (<2 nm) are in situ constructed in the macro/mesoporous skeletons of sponge fibers to realize a tunable pore size distribution. The resultant PFMs exhibit the integrated properties of ultrahigh surface area (860 m2 g-1), large pore volume (0.6 cm3 g-1), self-standing properties, and excellent molecular sieving performance and are widely applied in acetophenone/phenyl ethanol separation, hydrogen peroxide purification, ethyl acetate separation, and CO2 adsorption fields. The fabrication of such PFMs provides a feasible way for the design and development of polymeric fibrous sieves for molecular separation in large-scale chemical, energy, and environmental operation processes.

Abstract
Anisotropic particles have attracted significant attention due to their alluring features that distinguish them from isotropic particles. One of the most appealing strategies for the synthesis of anisotropic particles is the emulsion-guided method. However, morphological control and the understanding of formation mechanisms have remained a major challenge. Based on a novel mechanism, here, a facile one-pot emulsion-templating method for the tunable construction of anisotropic polymeric particles (APPs) with different defined structures is reported. Three types of monocomponent APPs with new morphologies and sizes in the range of 240-650 nm, including Janus mushroom-like mesoporous poly(m-phenylenediamine) (PmPD) particles, wheel-shaped particles, and acorn-like PmPD particles, are obtained by controlling the average size of the oil droplets in the emulsion. Furthermore, the APPs demonstrate the ability for conversion to nitrogen-doped anisotropic carbon particles (ACPs) by pyrolysis at 800 °C under a N2 atmosphere, thereby inheriting their structures. These novel ACPs show appreciable potential as metal-free electrocatalysts for use in oxygen reduction reactions. Compared to their isotropic counterpart, these ACPs exhibit remarkable advantages such as enhanced specific surface area and pore volume, reduced stacking density, and easy fabrication of continuous and uniform membrane electrodes.

Abstract
In this paper, we have adopted a simple and etching-free method to prepare mesoporous carbon spheres in one step. Selenium can be deposited in the internal cavity, which can avoid pulverization due to the combined effect of volume expansion and a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) film while charging and discharging. Therefore, the as-prepared selenium and nitrogen codoped mesoporous carbon nanosphere (Se@NMCS) composites can deliver an outstanding sodium-storage performance of 336.6 mAh g-1 at a present density of 200 mA g-1 and great long-cycling performance. For a further understanding of the Na+ storage mechanism of the Se@NMCS anode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), the phase evolution of the Se@NMCS anode has been explored during the charge/discharge process by conducting in situ Raman investigation.

Abstract
Increasing the energy density of electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) can broaden their applications in energy storage but remains a formidable challenge. Herein, micropore-rich yolk-shell structured N-doped carbon spheres (YSNCSs) were constructed by a one-pot surfactant-free self-assembly method in aqueous solution. The resultant YSNCSs after activation possessed an ultrahigh surface area of 2536 m2 g-1 , among which 80 % was contributed from micropores. When applied in EDLCs, the activated YSNCSs demonstrated an unprecedentedly high capacitance (270 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 ) in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIM][BF4 ]) ionic liquid, affording an ultrahigh energy density (133 Wh kg-1 at 943 W kg-1 ). The present contribution provides insight into engineering porous carbons for capacitive energy storage.

Abstract
Carbon-encapsulated metal-organic framework (MOF) composite is one kind of emerging new catalyst with high efficiency and has gained much attention. However, for this kind of composite catalyst, the key to improving its catalytic activity and durability is to realize the effective dispersion of MOF nanoparticles (NPs) and enhance the interaction between MOF NPs and the carbon matrix, which remain a significant challenge. Herein, ultrafine MOF NPs within multichamber carbon spheres (MOF@MCCS), for the first time, have been rationally synthesized by a two-step double-solvent strategy for high-performance catalysts. The precise loading of guest MOFs can be achieved by adjusting the multichamber structure and calcination extent of the multichamber polymer (MCP), and the particle size of MOFs can be as low as 13.2 nm. Due to the formation of abundant carbon defects in the pyrolysis process of MCPs, the special structure and synergistic effect make the material exhibit higher catalytic activity and durability. More importantly, this method is universal and can be extended to different MOF systems. The two-step double-solvent strategy not only prepares a unique structure of MOF@MCCS-type host-guest-encapsulated catalysts but also provides a new idea for the design of high-efficiency catalysts with better performance and higher durability.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped porous carbon spheres have attracted great interest in diversified fields owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. However, the synthesis of nitrogen-doped porous carbon spheres with hierarchical superstructures and refined micropore structures is still a challenge. Herein, we develop a molecular-scale silica templating strategy to prepare nitrogen-doped microporous carbon spheres (MCSSs) with high porosity and a well-defined micropore structure. Octa(aminophenyl) polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane is used as a building block in MCSS precursors to provide precise molecular-scale templating and nitrogen doping. The morphology of MCSSs can be easily tuned by choosing the proper solvent. The as-synthesized MCSS with a large surface area (2036 m2 g-1), narrow micropore size distribution, nitrogen doping, and hierarchical geometry can serve as an efficient selective adsorbent for CO2 and organic pollutants. Furthermore, the MCSS decorated with Fe-N-C active sites (MCSS-Fe) shows enhanced electrocatalytic ORR activity in alkaline solution. This novel approach may open a new avenue for controllable fabrication of porous carbon spheres with desired geometry and well-designed pore structure and show potential applications in selective adsorption and catalysis.
