Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for the development of efficient renewable energy supply systems to reduce the mismatch between energy demand and utilization, supercapacitors have attracted increasing attention in the energy industry. However, the development of energy storage electrode materials to be applied at the industrial level is still challenging due to the unsatisfactory durability and scalable production issues. This study suggested a facile and scalable one-pot fabrication method of using graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (G/BN)-based one-dimensional (1D) van der Waals superlattice heterostructures (vdWSLs) as highly stable electrode materials to enhance the energy storage performance by improving the mesopore volume content, specific surface area, electrical properties, and interfacial interaction between the stacked G/BN layers. The G/BN-based vdWSLs were fabricated by a simple scrolling process through the electromagnetic interaction between the attached magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) on the surface of a G/BN vdW heterostructure (vdWH) and the applied magnetic field. The investigation results demonstrate that the changed morphology of the fabricated G/Fe/BN(NS) strongly affects the fine pore distribution, electrochemical performance, and electrical properties. Consequently, as a synergistic effect of an increased mesopore volume content, specific surface area, and C-B-N heterojunction interfacial area, the fabricated G/Fe/BN(NS) electrode showed a 100% enhancement of specific capacitance (207 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1) and almost 7 times enhancement of electrical conductivity (800 S cm-1) with a nearly 2.3 times increase of carrier mobility (716 cm2 V-1 s-1) compared to that of the G/Fe/BN electrode. Furthermore, it exhibited outstanding long-term cycling stability with almost 119% capacitance retention even after 100 000 charge-discharge cycles. These results suggest that G/Fe/BN(NS) has tremendous potential as an electrode to fabricate high-performance supercapacitors with excellent cycling stability.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2305921.

Abstract
Silicon has gained significant attention as a lithium-ion battery anode material due to its high theoretical capacity compared to conventional graphite. Unfortunately, silicon anodes suffer from poor cycling performance caused by their extreme volume change during lithiation and de-lithiation. Compositing silicon particles with 2D carbon materials, such as graphene, can help mitigate this problem. However, an unaddressed challenge remains: a simple, inexpensive synthesis of Si/graphene composites. Here, a one-step laser-scribing method is proposed as a straightforward, rapid (≈3 min), scalable, and less-energy-consuming (≈5 W for a few minutes under air) process to prepare Si/laser-scribed graphene (LSG) composites. In this research, two types of Si particles, Si nanoparticles (SiNPs) and Si microparticles (SiMPs), are used. The rate performance is improved after laser scribing: SiNP/LSG retains 827.6 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A gSi+C -1, while SiNP/GO (before laser scribing) retains only 463.8 mAh g-1. This can be attributed to the fast ion transport within the well-exfoliated 3D graphene network formed by laser scribing. The cyclability is also improved: SiNP/LSG retains 88.3% capacity after 100 cycles at 2.0 A gSi+C -1, while SiNP/GO retains only 57.0%. The same trend is found for SiMPs: the SiMP/LSG shows better rate and cycling performance than SiMP/GO composites.

Abstract
This review article addresses the antioxidant properties of different natural products, including ascorbic acid, gallic acid, oxalic acid, L-glutathione (GSH), bacteriorhodopsin, green tea polyphenols, glucose, hydroxycinnamic acid, ethanoic acid, betanin, and L-glutathione, in the reduction of graphene oxide (rGO). rGO can cause damage to cells, including oxidative stress and inflammation, limiting its application in different sectors that use graphene, such as technologies used in medicine and dentistry. The natural substances reviewed have properties that help reduce this damage, neutralizing free radicals and maintaining cellular integrity. This survey demonstrates that the combination of these antioxidant compounds can be an effective strategy to minimize the harmful effects of rGO and promote cellular health.

Abstract
Downsizing the electrochemically active materials in both cathodic and anodic electrodes commonly brings about enhanced lithium-ion storage performances. It is particularly meaningful to explore simplified and effective strategies for exploiting nanosized electrode materials in the advanced lithium-ion batteries. In this work, the spontaneous reaction between few-layered graphene oxide (GO) and metallic cobalt (Co) foils in mild hydrothermal condition is for the first time employed to synthesize a reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supported nanosized cobalt monoxide (CoO) anode material (CoO@RGO). Furthermore, the CoO@RGO sample is converted to nanosized lithium cobalt oxide cathode material (LiCoO2, LCO) by taking the advantages of the self-templated effect. As a result, both the CoO@RGO anode and the LCO cathode exhibit inspiring lithium-ion storage properties. In half-cells, the CoO@RGO sample maintains a reversible capacity of 740.6 mAh·g-1 after 300 cycles at the current density of 1000 mA·g-1 while the LCO sample delivers a reversible capacity of 109.1 mAh·g-1 after 100 cycles at the current density of 100 mA·g-1. In the CoO@RGO//LCO full-cells, the CoO@RGO sample delivers a reversible capacity of 553.9 mAh·g-1 after 50 cycles at the current density of 200 mA·g-1. The reasons for superior electrochemical behaviors of the samples have been revealed, and the strategy in this work can be considered to be straightforward and effective for engineering both anode and cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Tin based materials are widely investigated as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Effectively dispersing SnO2 nanocrystals in carbonaceous supporting skeleton using simplified methods is both promising and challenging. In this work, water soluble chitosan (CS) chains are employed to modulate the redox coprecipitation reaction between stannous chloride (SnCl2) and few-layered graphene oxide (GO), where the excessive restacking of the corresponding reduced graphene oxide sheets (RGO) has been effectively inhibited and the grain size of the in-situ formed SnO2 nanoparticles have been significantly controlled. In particular, the CS molecules are gradually detached from the RGO sheets with the GO deoxygenation process, leaving only a small quantity of CS remnants in the intermediate SnO2@CS@RGO sample. The final SnO2/CSC/RGO sample with significantly improved microstructure is synthesized after a simple thermal treatment, which delivers a high specific capacity of 842.9 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA·g-1 for 1000 cycles in half cells and a specific capacity of 410.5 mAh g-1 at 200 mA·g-1 for 100 cycles in full cells. The reasons for the good lithium-ion storage performances for the SnO2/CSC/RGO composite have been studied.

Abstract
A straightforward and eco-friendly method is demonstrated to engineer magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles well dispersed by an amorphous amylose-derived carbon (AMC) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) framework. Naturally available amylose (AM) serves as both reducing agent for few-layered graphene oxide (GO) in the first mild redox coprecipitation system and precursor for small-sized pyrolytic AMC in the following thermal treatment. In particular, the presence of the AM molecules effectively limits the crystal growth kinetics for the akaganeite (FeOOH) in the intermediate FeOOH@AM/RGO sample, which contributes to the transformation to Fe3O4 nanoparticles with significantly controlled size in the final Fe3O4@AMC/RGO composite. As a result, both Fe3O4 nanoparticles and AMC domains are adjacently anchored on the larger sized RGO sheets, and a unique hierarchical structure has been engineered in the Fe3O4@AMC/RGO sample. Compared with the controlled Fe3O4@RGO sample, the Fe3O4@AMC/RGO composite exhibits remarkably enhanced initial coulombic efficiency, superior cycling stability and rate performance for lithium-ion storage. The mechanisms of the interaction between GO sheets and AM molecules as well as the inspiring electrochemical behaviors of the Fe3O4@AMC/RGO electrode have been revealed. The Fe3O4@AMC/RGO sample possesses good potential for scaling-up and finding applications in wider fields.

Abstract
Ferric gallate (Fe-GA), an ancient metal-organic framework (MOF) material, has been recently employed as an eco-friendly and cost-effective precursor sample to synthesize a porous carbon confined nano-iron composite (Fe/RPC), and the Fe element in the Fe/RPC sample could be further oxidized to Fe3O4 nanocrystals in a 180 °C hydrothermal condition. On this foundation, this work reports an optimized approach to engineering a hierarchical one-dimensional porous carbon and two-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supporting framework with Fe3O4 nanoparticles well dispersed. Under mild hydrothermal condition, the redox reaction between metal iron atoms from Fe/RPC and surface functional radicals from few-layered graphene oxide sheets (GO) is triggered. As a result, reinforced microstructure and improved atomic efficiency have been achieved for the Fe3O4@RPC/RGO sample. The homogeneously dispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles with controlled size are anchored on the surface of the larger sized RGO coating layers while the smaller sized RPC domains are embedded between the RGO sheets as spacer. Challenges including spontaneous aggregation of RPC, over exposure of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and excessive restacking of RGO have been significantly inhibited. Furthermore, micro-sized carbon fiber (CF) is chosen as a structural reinforcement additive during electrode fabrication, and the Fe3O4@RPC/RGO sample delivers a good specific capacity of 1170.5 mAh·g-1 under a current rate of 1000 mA·g-1 for 500 cycles in the half cell form. The reasons for superior electrochemical behaviors have been revealed and the lithium-ion storage performances of the Fe3O4@RPC/RGO sample in the full cell form have been preliminarily investigated.

Abstract
Immobilizing nanosized electrochemically active materials with supportive carbonaceous framework usually brings in improved lithium-ion storage performance. In this work, magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) are stabilized by both porous carbon domains (PC) and reduced graphene oxide sheets (RGO) to form a hierarchical composite (Fe3O4@PC/RGO) via a straightforward approach. The PC confined iron nanoparticle intermediate sample (Fe@PC) was first fabricated, where sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC) was employed not only as a cross-linker to trap ferric ions for synthesizing a Fe-CMC precursor sample, but also as the carbon source for PC domains and iron source for Fe nanoparticles in a pyrolysis process. The final redox reaction between Fe@PC and few-layered graphene oxide (GO) sheets contributed to the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with reduced size, avoiding any severe aggregation or excessive exposure. The Fe3O4@PC/RGO sample delivered a specific capacity of 522.2 mAh·g-1 under a current rate of 1000 mA·g-1 for 650 cycles. The engineered Fe@PC and Fe3O4@PC/RGO samples have good prospects for application in wider fields.

Abstract
In this work, a hierarchical reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supportive matrix consisting of both larger two-dimensional RGO sheets and smaller three-dimensional RGO spheres was engineered with ZnO and SnO2 nanoparticles immobilized. The ZnO and SnO2 nanocrystals with controlled size were in sequence engineered on the surface of the RGO sheets during the deoxygenation of graphene oxide sample (GO), where the zinc-containing ZIF-8 sample and metal tin foil were used as precursors for ZnO and SnO2, respectively. After a spray drying treatment and calcination, the final ZnO@SnO2/RGO-H sample was obtained, which delivered an outstanding specific capacity of 982 mAh·g-1 under a high current density of 1000 mA·g-1 after 450 cycles. Benefitting from the unique hierarchical structure, the mechanical strength, ionic and electric conductivities of the ZnO@SnO2/RGO-H sample have been simultaneously promoted. The joint contributions from pseudocapacitive and battery behaviors in lithium-ion storage processes bring in both large specific capacity and good rate capability. The industrially mature spray drying method for synthesizing RGO based hierarchical products can be further developed for wider applications.

Abstract
Silicon anodes are considered as promising electrode materials for next-generation high capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the capacity fading due to the large volume changes (∼300%) of silicon particles during the charge-discharge cycles is still a bottleneck. The volume changes of silicon lead to a fracture of the silicon particles, resulting in recurrent formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer, leading to poor capacity retention and short cycle life. Nanometer-scaled silicon particles are the favorable anode material to reduce some of the problems related to the volume changes, but problems related to SEI layer formation still need to be addressed. Herein, we address these issues by developing a composite anode material comprising silicon nanoparticles and nanographite. The method developed is simple, cost-efficient, and based on an aerogel process. The electrodes produced by this aerogel fabrication route formed a stable SEI layer and showed high specific capacity and improved cyclability even at high current rates. The capacity retentions were 92 and 72% of the initial specific capacity at the 171st and the 500th cycle, respectively.

Abstract
Ni3S2 nanocrystals wrapped by thin carbon layer and anchored on the sheets of reduced graphene oxide (Ni3S2@C/RGO) have been synthesized by a spray-coagulation assisted hydrothermal method and combined with a calcination process. Cellulose, dissolved in Thiourea/NaOH aqueous solution is chosen as carbon sources and mixed with graphene oxide via a spray-coagulation method using graphene suspension as coagulation bath. The resulted cellulose/graphene suspension is utilized as solvent for dissolving of Ni(NO3)2 and then used as raw materials for hydrothermal preparation of the Ni3S2@C/RGO composites. The structure of the composites has been investigated and their electrochemical properties are evaluated as anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The Ni3S2@C/RGO sample exhibits increasing reversible capacities upon cycles and shows a superior rate performance as well. Such kinds of promising performance have been ascribed to the wrapping effect of carbon layer which confines the dislocation of the polycrystals formed upon cycles and the enhanced conductivity as the integration of RGO conductive substrate. Discharge capacities up to 850 and 630 mAh·g−1 at current densities of 200 and 5000 mA·g−1, respectively, are obtained. The evolution of electrochemical performance of the composites with structure variation of the encapsulated Ni3S2 nanocrystals has been revealed by ex-situ TEM and XRD measurements.

Abstract
We report a simple new approach for green preparation of gallic acid supported reduced graphene oxide encapsulated gold nanoparticles (GA-RGO/AuNPs) via one-pot hydrothermal method. The as-prepared composites were successfully characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction techniques (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and elemental analysis. The GA-RGO/AuNPs modified electrode behaves as a hybrid electrode material for sensitive and selective detection of dopamine (DA) in presence of ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA). The GA-RGO/AuNPs modified electrode displays an excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of DA and exhibits a wide linear response range over the DA concentrations from 0.01-100.3 μM with a detection limit (LOD) of 2.6 nM based on S/N = 3. In addition, the proposed sensor could be applied for the determination of DA in human serum and urine samples for practical analysis.
