Abstract
The energy storage capacity of porous carbon materials is closely tied to their surface structure and chemical properties. However, developing an innovative and straightforward approach to synthesize yolk-shell carbon spheres (YCs) remains a great challenge till date. Herein, we prepared a series of porous nitrogen-doped yolk-shell carbon spheres (NYCs) via a "pyrolysis-capture" method. This method involves coating the resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin sphere with a layer of compact silica shell induced by 2-methylimidazole (ME) catalysis to produce a confined nano-space. Based on the confined effect of compact silica shell, volatile gases emitted from the RF resin and ME during pyrolysis can not only diffuse into the pores of the RF resin but can also be captured to form an outer carbon shell. This results in the tunable structures of NYCs materials. As the pyrolysis temperature rises, the shell thickness of NYCs reduces, the pore size expands, the roughness increases, and the N/O content of surface elements is enhanced. Notably, as an electrode material used forsupercapacitors,the optimized NYCs-800 exhibits excellent performance with a capacitance of 301.2F g-1 at the current density of 1 A/g and outstanding cycling life stability of 96.1% after 10,000 cycles. These results signify that controlling the surface structure and chemical properties of NYCs materials is an effective approach for constructing advanced energy storage materials.

Abstract
Hierarchical hollow tubular porous carbons have been widely used in applications of supercapacitors, batteries, CO2 capture and catalysis due to their hollow tubular morphology, large aspect ratio, abundant pore structure and superior conductivity. Herein, hierarchical hollow tubular fibrous brucite-templated carbons (AHTFBCs) were prepared using natural mineral fiber brucite as the template and KOH as the chemical activator. The effects of different KOH additions on the pore structure and capacitive performance of AHTFBCs were systematically studied. The specific surface area and micropore content of AHTFBCs after KOH activation were higher than those of HTFBC. The specific surface area of the HTFBC is 400 m2 g-1, while the activated AHTFBC5 has a specific surface area of up to 625 m2 g-1. In particular, compared with HTFBC (6.1%), a series of AHTFBCs (22.1% for AHTFBC2, 23.9% for AHTFBC3, 26.8% for AHTFBC4 and 22.9% for AHTFBC5) with significantly increased micropore content were prepared by controlling the amount of KOH added. The AHTFBC4 electrode displays a high capacitance of 197 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and the capacitance retention of 100% after 10 000 cycles at 5 A g-1 in the three-electrode system. And an AHTFBC4//AHTFBC4 symmetric supercapacitor exhibits the capacitance of 109 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 in 6 M KOH and an energy density of 5.8 W h kg-1 at 199.0 W kg-1 in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. In addition, the capacity retention of AHTFBC4 in the symmetric supercapacitor was maintained at 92% after 5000 cycles in both 6 M KOH and 1 M Na2SO4 electrolytes.

Abstract
The MnO/C composites were obtained by co-precipitation method, which used Mn3O4nanomaterials as precursors and dopamine solution after ultrasonic mixing and calcination under N2atmosphere at different temperatures. By studying the difference of MnO/C nanomaterials formed at different temperatures, it was found that with the increase of calcination temperature, the materials appear obvious agglomeration. The optimal calcination temperature is 400 °C, and the resulting MnO/C is a uniformly dispersed slender nanowire structure. The specific capacitance of MnO/C nanowires can reach 356 F g-1at 1 A g-1. In the meantime, the initial capacitance of MnO/C nanowires remains 106% after 5000 cycles. Moreover, the asymmetric supercapacitor was installed, which displays a tremendous energy density of 30.944 Wh kg-1along with a high power density of 10 kW kg-1. The composite material reveals a promising prospect in the application of supercapacitors.

Abstract
Lignin, one of the renewable constituents in natural plant biomasses, holds great potential as a sustainable source of functional carbon materials. Tremendous research efforts have been made on lignin-derived carbon electrodes for rechargeable batteries. However, lignin is considered as one of the most promising carbon precursors for the development of high-performance, low-cost porous carbon electrode materials for supercapacitor applications. Yet, these efforts have not been reviewed in detail in the current literature. This review, therefore, offers a basis for the utilization of lignin as a pivotal precursor for the synthesis of porous carbons for use in supercapacitor electrode applications. Lignin chemistry, the synthesis process of lignin-derived porous carbons, and future directions for developing better porous carbon electrode materials from lignin are systematically reviewed. Technological hurdles and approaches that should be prioritized in future research are presented.
