Abstract
Iron, N-codoped carbon materials (Fe-N-C) are promising electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reactions due to their high atom utilization efficiency and intrinsic activity. Nanostructuring of the Fe-N-C materials, such as introducing porosity into the carbon structure, would be conducive to further increasing the exposure of active sites as well as improving the mass transfer. Herein, we explore the potential of iron complex-functionalized micelles of mesoporous SiO2 as a platform for constructing porous Fe-N-C materials. The classical three-dimensional MCM-48 was selected as a proof-of-concept example, which was utilized as the hard template, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide micelles inside it played the role of the main carbon source. Fe-Nx sites were derived from Fe-1,10-phenanthroline complexes in the micelles introduced by in situ incorporation of 1,10-phenanthroline and post Fe2+ insertion in an aqueous solution. After thermal annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere and subsequent removal of the MCM-48 framework, a carbon material that possesses porous structural features with uniformly dispersed Fe-Nx sites (MPC@PhFe) was obtained, which shows superior ORR activity in a 0.1 M KOH solution and great potential for Zn-air battery applications as well. This work demonstrates the feasibility as well as the effectiveness of turning micelles of mesoporous SiO2 into porous carbon structures and might offer a universal strategy for manufacturing carbon materials for future application in energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
The ever-increasing electric vehicles and portable electronics make lithium-ion barreries (LIBs) toward high energy density, resulting in long driving range and standby times. Generally, excellent electrochemical performance can be obtained in thin electrode materials with low mass loadings (<1 mg cm-2), but it is difficult to be achieved in commercial electrodes with high mass loadings (>10 mg cm-2). In this work, we report a facile method for fabricating nitrogen doped carbon microtubes (N-CMTs) consisted of crumped carbon nanosheets for high-performance LIBs with ultrahigh mass loading, where non-tubular biomass waste (i.e., peanut dregs) is employed as the precursor. Benefiting from the hollow tubular conductive network, high graphitization, and hierarchical structure, the as-synthesized N-CMTs exhibit ultrahigh area capacity of 6.27 mAh cm-2 at a current density of 1.5 mA cm-2 with a high mass loading of 15 mg cm-2 and superior cycling stability for LIBs. Our approach provides an effective strategy for the preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon microtubes to develope high energy LIBs with high mass loading electrodes.

Abstract
High-performance energy storage and conversion devices with high energy density, power density and long-term cycling life are of great importance in current consumer electronics, portable electronics and electric vehicles. Carbon materials have been widely investigated and utilized in various energy storage and conversion devices due to their excellent conductivity, mechanical and chemical stability, and low cost. Abundant excellent reviews have summarized the most recent progress and future outlooks for most of the current prime carbon materials used in energy storage and conversion devices, such as carbon nanotubes, fullerene, graphene, porous carbon and carbon fibers. However, the significance of three-dimensional (3D) commercial carbon cloth (CC), one of the key carbon materials with outstanding mechanical stability, high conductivity and flexibility, in the energy storage and conversion field, especially in wearable electronics and flexible devices, has not been systematically summarized yet. In this review article, we present a careful investigation of flexible CC in the energy storage and conversion field. We first give a general introduction to the common properties of CC and the roles it has played in energy storage and conversion systems. Then, we meticulously investigate the crucial role of CC in typical electrochemical energy storage systems, including lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries and supercapacitors. Following a description of the wide application potential of CC in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution/reduction, full-water splitting, etc., we will give a brief introduction to the application of CC in the areas of photocatalytically and photoelectrochemically induced solar energy conversion and storage. The review will end with a brief summary of the typical superiorities that CC has in current energy conversion and storage systems, as well as providing some perspectives and outlooks on its future applications in the field. Our main interest will be focused on CC-based flexible devices due to the inherent superiority of CC and the increasing demand for flexible and wearable electronics.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is one of the most attractive anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical specific capacity, excellent conductivity, abundance, and especially low cost. However, the large volume expansion, originating from the uneven alloying/dealloying reactions in the charge/discharge process, causes structural stress and electrode pulverization, which has long hindered its practical application, especially when assembled with a high-areal-density cathode. Here, an inactive (Cu) and active (Al) co-deposition strategy is reported to homogeneously distribute the alloying sites and disperse the stress of volume expansion, which is beneficial to obtain the structural stability of the Al anode. Owing to the homogeneous reaction and uniform distribution of stress during the charge/discharge process, the assembled full battery (LiFePO4 cathode with a high areal density of ≈7.4 mg cm-2 ) with the Cu-Al@Al anode, achieves a high capacity retention of ≈88% over 200 cycles, suggesting the feasibility of the interfacial design to optimize the structural stability of alloying metal anodes for high-performance LIBs.
