Abstract
One of the major challenges in the field of electrochemical energy storage device performance improvement is the development of suitable synthetic materials for electrodes that can provide high power and high energy density features combined with their long-term stability. Here, we have developed a novel two-step approach based on DC glow discharge plasma pre-treatment of a carbon cloth substrate followed by electric field-assisted laser ablation for the synthesis of ZnO/C nanocomposites in a liquid and their simultaneous assembly into hierarchically organized nanostructures onto the pre-processed carbon cloth to produce a supercapacitor electrode. To form such nanostructures, a processed carbon cloth was included in the electrical circuit as a cathode during laser ablation of zinc in water, while a zinc target served as an anode. A series of studies have been performed to explore the structure, morphology, composition and electrochemical characteristics of the synthesized ZnO/C nanocomposites. Application of the external field provided additional possibilities for tuning the particle morphology. The parameters of the obtained nanostructures were shown to depend on the direction of the applied electric field and liquid composition. SEM studies revealed a nanoflower-like morphology of the prepared nanomaterial having potential in supercapacitor applications due to a large surface area. The ZnO/C nanoflowers, deposited onto a carbon cloth substrate, were tested for energy storage by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) analysis. The results showed a pseudocapacitor behavior with a maximum specific capacitance of about 3045 F g-1 (at a scan rate of 1 mV s-1). These results demonstrate a promising storage efficiency of the synthesized ZnO/C nanocomposite as a material for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are widely used energy storage systems in the modern world due to their excellent electrochemical performance, fast charging capability, easy handling, and high power density. In the present work, pure MoS2 and MoS2/Bi2S3 nanocomposites with different compositions of bismuth were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The structural properties of the electrode materials were studied using the XRD technique, which confirmed the formation of MoS2 and the secondary phase of Bi2S3 while increasing Bi substitution. The morphological studies of the synthesized electrode materials were performed using SEM, TEM, and HRTEM techniques, which indicated the 3D layered hierarchical structure of MoS2 nanospheres and the nanosheet-like structure of Bi2S3. The electrochemical properties of pristine MoS2 and MoS2/Bi2S3 nanocomposites were analysed by CV, CP, and EIS techniques using a 2 M KOH electrolyte in a three-electrode system. The CV curves show evidence of significant improvement in the electrochemical performance of MoS2/Bi2S3 composites compared to that of pure MoS2. The calculated specific capacitances of MoS2/Bi2S3 nanocomposites were relatively higher than those of pristine MoS2. The 20 mol% Bi added sample showed a maximum specific capacitance of 371 F g-1, compared to pristine MoS2 and other samples at a current density of 1 A g-1. The kinetics of the electrochemical process was studied. The Nyquist plots indicated that the Bi-added nanocomposites had lower Resr and RCT values, which resulted in high electrochemical performance. The experimental results revealed that Bi-substitution can further enhance the electrochemical energy storage performance of MoS2 for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Technologies for wastewater remediation have been growing ever since the environmental and health concern is realized. Development of nanomaterials has enabled mankind to have different methods to treat the various kinds of inorganic and organic pollutants present in wastewater from many resources. Among the many materials, semiconductor materials have found many environmental applications due to their outstanding photocatalytic activities. TiO2 and ZnO are more effectively used as photocatalyst or adsorbents in the withdrawal of inorganic as well as organic wastes from the wastewater. On the other hand, graphene is tremendously being investigated for applications in environmental remediation in view of the superior physical, optical, thermal, and electronic properties of graphene nanocomposites. In this work, graphene-TiO2 and graphene-ZnO nanocomposites have been reviewed for photocatalytic wastewater treatment. The various preparation techniques of these nanocomposites have been discussed. Also, different design strategies for graphene-based photocatalyst have been revealed. These nanocomposites exhibit promising applications in most of the water purification processes which are reviewed in this work. Along with this, the development of these nanocomposites using biomass-derived graphene has also been introduced. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Graphene-TiO2 and graphene-ZnO nanocomposites are effective for wastewater treatment through photocatalysis. These nanocomposite photocatalysts have been used in the form of membrane as well as antibacterial agents. Synthetic strategies and design considerations of graphene-based photocatalyst play a major role. Biomass-derived graphene-TiO2 and graphene-ZnO nanocomposites have also found application in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A novel binary nanocomposite, ZnO/nitrogen-doped graphene (ZnO/NG), is synthesized via a facile solution method. In this prepared ZnO/NG composite, highly-crystalline ZnO nanoparticles with a size of about 10 nm are anchored uniformly on the N-doped graphene nanosheets. Electrochemical properties of the ZnO/NG composite as anode materials are systematically investigated in lithium-ion batteries. Specifically, the ZnO/NG composite can maintain the reversible specific discharge capacity at 870 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles at 100 mA g−1. Besides the enhanced electronic conductivity provided by interlaced N-doped graphene nanosheets, the excellent lithium storage properties of the ZnO/NG composite can be due to nanosized structure of ZnO particles, shortening the Li+ diffusion distance, increasing reaction sites, and buffering the ZnO volume change during the charge/discharge process.

Abstract
Flower-shaped self-assembled zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoflakes were successfully synthesized via a temperature-controlled hydrothermal method. The crystallinity and phase formation of the compound were determined from powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) result. Surface morphology investigations reveal the self-assembled ZnO nanoflakes to form a spherical flower-like structure. In addition, the particle size was determined from high-resolution transmission electron microscope measurement as 18[Formula: see text]nm which is in accord with XRD and UV results. X-ray photo electron spectroscopy studies reveal the chemical composition and oxidation state of the ZnO nanoparticle. The specific surface area was calculated, and mesoporous nature was confirmed using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis. Results support the superior interaction between the electrode and electrolyte ions through surface pores. Capacitive performance of the ZnO electrode material was determined using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge studies, and a maximum specific capacitance of 322[Formula: see text]F/g was obtained at 5[Formula: see text]mV/sec. Electrochemical impedance spectrum reveals the materials fast charge transfer kinetics.

Abstract
A series of SnS/Graphene (SnS/G) nanocomposites at various concentrations of graphene were synthesized by a wet chemical route and the prepared composites were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) for its structural and morphological investigation. Results show that the prepared SnS nanoparticles in the composite are [Formula: see text]30[Formula: see text]nm sized and uniformly dispersed on graphene sheets. To test the supercapacitance behavior, electrochemical measurements were carried out in 6[Formula: see text]M KOH electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 984[Formula: see text]F/g was observed for SnS/G-c at 5[Formula: see text]mVs[Formula: see text] scan rate. Galvanostatic charge/discharge curves showed an excellent cyclic stability with higher charge/discharge duration, and hence could be used for high performance supercapacitor applications.
