Abstract
In this work, novel proton-exchange membranes (PEMs) based on sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) and two-dimensional (2D) sulfonated niobium disulphide (S-NbS2) nanoflakes are synthesized by a solution-casting method and used in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). The NbS2 nanoflakes are produced by liquid-phase exfoliation of their bulk counterpart and chemically functionalized with terminal sulfonate groups to improve dimensional and chemical stabilities, proton conductivity (σ) and fuel barrier properties of the as-produced membranes. The addition of S-NbS2 nanoflakes to SPEEK decreases the vanadium ion permeability from 5.42 × 10-7 to 2.34 × 10-7 cm2 min-1. Meanwhile, it increases the membrane σ and selectivity up to 94.35 mS cm-2 and 40.32 × 104 S min cm-3, respectively. The cell assembled with the optimized membrane incorporating 2.5 wt% of S-NbS2 nanoflakes (SPEEK:2.5% S-NbS2) exhibits high efficiency metrics, i.e., coulombic efficiency between 98.7 and 99.0%, voltage efficiency between 90.2 and 73.2% and energy efficiency between 89.3 and 72.8% within the current density range of 100-300 mA cm-2, delivering a maximum power density of 0.83 W cm-2 at a current density of 870 mA cm-2. The SPEEK:2.5% S-NbS2 membrane-based VRFBs show a stable behavior over 200 cycles at 200 mA cm-2. This study opens up an effective avenue for the production of advanced SPEEK-based membranes for VRFBs.

Abstract
The printing of three-dimensional (3D) porous electrodes for Li-ion batteries is considered a key driver for the design and realization of advanced energy storage systems. While different 3D printing techniques offer great potential to design and develop 3D architectures, several factors need to be addressed to print 3D electrodes, maintaining an optimal trade-off between electrochemical and mechanical performances. Herein, we report the first demonstration of 3D printed Si-based electrodes fabricated using a simple and cost-effective fused deposition modelling (FDM) method, and implemented as anodes in Li-ion batteries. To fulfil the printability requirement while maximizing the electrochemical performance, the composition of the FDM filament has been engineered using polylactic acid as the host polymeric matrix, a mixture of carbon black-doped polypyrrole and wet-jet milling exfoliated few-layer graphene flakes as conductive additives, and Si nanoparticles as the active material. The creation of a continuous conductive network and the control of the structural properties at the nanoscale enabled the design and realization of flexible 3D printed anodes, reaching a specific capacity up to ∼345 mA h g-1 at the current density of 20 mA g-1, together with a capacity retention of 96% after 350 cycles. The obtained results are promising for the fabrication of flexible polymeric-based 3D energy storage devices to meet the challenges ahead for the design of next-generation electronic devices.

Abstract
A sulfonated graphene oxide@metal-organic framework-modified forward osmosis nanocomposite (SGO@UiO-66-TFN) membrane was developed to improve stability and heavy metal removal performance. An in situ growth method was applied to uniformly distribute UiO-66 nanomaterial with a frame structure on SGO nanosheets to form SGO@UiO-66 composite nanomaterial. This nanomaterial was then added to a polyamide layer using interfacial polymerization. The cross-linking between SGO@UiO-66 and m-phenylenediamine improved the stability of the nanomaterial in the membrane. Additionally, the water permeability was improved because of additional water channels introduced by SGO@UiO-66. SGO, with its lamellar structure, and UiO-66, with its frame structure, made the diffusion path of the solute more circuitous, which improved the heavy metal removal and salt rejection performances. Moreover, the hydrophilic layer of the SGO@UiO-66-TFN membrane could block contaminants and loosen the structure of the pollution layer, ensuring that the membrane maintained a high removal rate. The water flux and reverse solute flux of the SGO@UiO-66-TFN membrane reached 14.77 LMH and 2.95 gMH, and compared with the thin-film composite membrane, these values were increased by 41 and 64%, respectively. The membrane also demonstrated a good heavy metal ion removal performance. In 2 h, the heavy metal ion removal rate (2000 ppm Cu2+ and Pb2+) was greater than 99.4%, and in 10 h the removal rate was greater than 97.5%.

Abstract
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells are still limited as state-of-art proton exchange membranes perform poorly at high and low temperature and are easily damaged by harsh electrochemical conditions such as reactive peroxide species. One effective solution to this issue is to develop new types of proton conductive materials that are capable of working in a broad temperature range. A simple vacuum-assisted filtration method is employed to obtain a well-ordered new proton-conducting membrane by immobilizing nanosized bismuth oxide clusters [H6Bi12O16] (NO3)10·6(H2O) {H6Bi12O16} onto graphene oxide (GO) supports (named as {H6Bi12O16}/GO). {H6Bi12O16}/GO is stable in acidic media and has high proton conductivity over the temperature range from -40 to 80 °C. The proton conductivity of the {H6Bi12O16}/GO membrane is 0.564 S cm-1 at 80 °C in aqueous solution (in plane), and 0.1 S cm-1 at 80 °C and 97% RH (out of plane), respectively. Without loss of high proton conductivity, the membrane also exhibited 100-fold lower methanol permeability than a Nafion 117 membrane. Moreover, {H6Bi12O16}/GO displayed good catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and superior humidity response and recovery properties. These advantages mean that {H6Bi12O16}/GO holds great promise as a solid-state electrolyte that can potentially be applied in energy conversion devices in the future.

Abstract
Functional polymer brush modified graphene oxide (FPGO) with functional linear polysiloxane brushes was synthesized via surface precipitation polymerization (sol-gel) and chemical modification. Then, FPGO was covalently cross-linked to the sulfonated polysulfone (SPSU) matrix to obtain novel SPSU/FPGO cross-linked nanocomposite membranes. Meanwhile, SPSU/GO composite membranes and a pristine SPSU membrane were fabricated as control groups. Reduced agglomeration of the inorganic filler and better interfacial interaction, which are benefit to increase diffusion resistance of methanol and to generate continuous channels for fast proton transportation at elevated temperature, were observed in SPSU/FPGO cross-linked membranes. Moreover, the enhanced membrane stability (thermal, oxidative and dimensional stability) and good mechanical performance also guaranteed their proton conducting durability. It is noteworthy that the SPSU/FPGO-1 cross-linked membrane possesses the best comprehensive properties among all the prepared membranes and Nafion®117, it acquires the highest proton conductivity of 0.462 S cm-1 at 90 °C under hydrated conditions together with a low methanol permeability of 1.71 × 10-6 cm2 s-1 at 30 °C. The resulting high membrane selectivity displays the great potential of the SPSU/FPGO cross-linked membrane for DMFCs application.
