Abstract
The utilization of solar-thermal energy and universal cold energy has led to many innovative designs that achieve effective temperature regulation in different application scenarios. Numerous studies on passive solar heating and radiation cooling often operate independently (or actively control the conversion) and lack a cohesive framework for deep connections. This work provides a concise overview of the recent breakthroughs in solar heating and radiation cooling by employing a mechanism material in the application model. Furthermore, the utilization of dynamic Janus-like behavior serves as a novel nexus to elucidate the relationship between solar heating and radiation cooling, allowing for the analysis of dynamic conversion strategies across various applications. Additionally, special discussions are provided to address specific requirements in diverse applications, such as optimizing light transmission for clothing or window glass. Finally, the challenges and opportunities associated with the development of solar heating and radiation cooling applications are underscored, which hold immense potential for substantial carbon emission reduction and environmental preservation. This work aims to ignite interest and lay a solid foundation for researchers to conduct in-depth studies on effective and self-adaptive regulation of cooling and heating.

Abstract
2D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides (MXenes) have emerged as promising electrode materials for electrochemistry ion capture but always suffer from severe layer-restacking and irreversible oxidation that restrains their electrochemical performance. Here we design a dual strategy of microstructure tailoring and heterostructure construction to synthesize a unique 3D grape string-like heterostructure consisting of Ti3C2Tx MXene hollow microspheres wrapped by fungi-derived N-doping carbon nanoribbons (denoted as GMNC). The 3D grape string-like heterostructure effectively avoids the aggregation of Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets and enhances the stability of MXenes, providing abundant active sites for ion capture, and an interconnected conductive bionic nanofiber network for high-rate electron transport. In consequence, GMNC achieves a superior adsorption capacity for sodium ions (Na+) in capacitive deionization (CDI) (162.37 mg gNaCl-1) with an ultra-high instantaneous adsorption rate (30.52 mg g-1 min-1) at an applied voltage of 1.6 V and satisfactory cycle stability over 100 cycles, which is a strong performer among the state-of-the-art values for MXene-based CDI electrodes. In addition, in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D) measurement combined with density functional theory (DFT) reveals the mechanisms of the Na+ capture process in the GMNC heterostructure. This work opens a new avenue for designing high-performance MXenes with a 3D hierarchical heterostructure for advanced electrochemical applications.

Abstract
The practical application of carbon anode in capacitive deionization (CDI) is greatly hindered by their poor adsorption capacity and co-ion effect. Herein, an N-doped graphene-like carbon (NC) decorated with Fe/Fe3C nanoparticles composite (Fe/Fe3C@NC) with large specific surface area and plentiful porosity is fabricated via a facile and scalable method, namely sol-gel method combined with Fe-catalyzed carbonization. As expected, it exhibits superior CDI performance as a Cl-storage electrode, with Cl- adsorption capacity as high as 102.3 mg g-1 at 1000 mg L-1 Cl- concentration and 1.4 V voltage, and a stable capacity of 68.5 mg g-1 for 60 cycles in 500 mg L-1 Cl- concentration and 100 mA g-1 current density. More importantly, on the basis of electrochemical tests, ex-situ X-ray diffraction, ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and XPS analysis with argon ion depth etching, it is revealed that the chlorine storage mechanism of the Fe/Fe3C@NC electrode is dominated by the surface-related redox pseudocapacitance behavior of Fe2+/Fe3+ couple occurring on or near the surface, enabling fast and reversible ion storage. This work proposes an economical and environmentally friendly general method for the design and development of high-performance Cl-storage electrodes for CDI, and offers an in-depth insight into the Cl- storage mechanism of Fe decorated carbon electrodes, further promoting the development of CDI technology.

Abstract
The capacitive deionization (CDI) technology was adopted to reduce the low concentrations of nickel in electroplating wastewater to meet the discharge standard. The composite anode and the composite cathode (Resin-CGA) were prepared by incorporating anion-exchange resin (AR-CGA) and cation exchange resin (CR-CGA) into the titanium mesh by the conductive graphite adhesive, respectively. The electrolytic performances of the Resin-CGA electrodes at different cell voltages, initial electrolyte pH and initial nickel concentrations were investigated. The adsorbed amount of nickel on the CR-CGA electrodes and the removal percentage of nickel were 0.095 mg g-1 and 95%, respectively. The Ni2+ concentrations were reduced to 0.005 mg L-1 and the electricity consumption was 1.6 kWh per ton of the electroplating wastewater at the initial Ni2+ concentrations of 1.0 mg L-1 under the optimal conditions, exhibiting better electrolytic performance than the cation-exchange resin and the electrodes prepared by the conductivity graphite adhesive (CGA). In addition, the spent electrodes were electrochemically regenerated and the electrolytic performance of the Resin-CGA electrodes kept stable during the cycles. This study provided a promising method to reduce the low concentrations of Ni2+ to less than 0.1 mg L-1 in the treatment of electroplating wastewater.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) has been considered as a promising technology for removing phosphate from water but suffer inferior selectivity and electrosorption performances for phosphate of current carbon electrodes in CDI. Herein, we achieved highly selective phosphate removal from a ternary effluent of Cl-, PO43-, and SO42- by using nitric acid-treated activated carbon (AC) with various modification times and pure AC as the anode and cathode, a novel phosphate selective asymmetric CDI reactor. The results showed that carboxyl groups greatly grafted on the materials after modification (varying from 0.00084 to 0.0012 mol g-1). The phosphate selectivity of the present research was higher than that of unmodified CDI, and it increased with the increase of carboxyl groups content. The highest phosphate selectivity (2.01) in modified materials is almost six times higher than that of pure AC. Moreover, the modified electrodes exhibited good regenerative ability with a phosphate desorption efficiency of around 72.12% during the adsorption/desorption process and great stability during the cycling experiment. These results demonstrated that the innovative application of nitric acid-modified AC can effectively selectively remove phosphate from mixed anion solution, opening a hopeful window to selective adsorption in water treatment by CDI.

Abstract
Carbon materials derived from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and composites thereof have been intensively investigated in supercapacitors. The particle size of the used ZIF-8 ranges from dozens of nanometers to several microns. However, the influence of the particle size of ZIF-8 on the capacitive performances is still not clear. A series of ZIF-8 with different particle sizes (from 25 to 296 nm) has been synthesized and carbonized for supercapacitors. Based on TEM, EDX mapping, XRD, Raman, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, XPS, and the results of electrochemical tests, the optimal particle size (≈70 nm) for superior supercapacitor performances in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes has been obtained. This important result provides a significant reference to guide future ZIF-8 related research to achieve the best electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising electrochemical water treatment technology. Development of new electrode materials with higher performance is key to improve the desalination efficiency of CDI. Carbon nanomaterials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted wide attention for their porous nanostructures and large specific surface areas. The desalination capacity and cycling stability of MOF-derived carbons (MOFCs) have been greatly improved by means of morphology control, heteroatom doping, Faradaic material modification, etc. Despite progress has been made to improve their CDI performance, quite a lot of MOFCs are too costly to be applied in a large scale. It remains crucial to develop MOFCs with both high desalination efficiency and low cost. In this review, we summarized three modification methods of MOFCs, namely morphology control, heteroatom doping, and Faradaic material doping, and put forward some constructive advice on how to enhance the desalination performance of MOFCs effectively at a low cost. We hope that more efforts could be devoted to the industrialization of MOFCs for CDI.

Abstract
The performance of the cathode significantly affects the ability of the electro-Fenton (EF) process to degrade chemicals. In this study, a simple method to modify the graphite felt (GF) cathode was proposed, i.e. oxidizing GF by hydrothermal treatment in nitric acid. The surface physical and electrochemical properties of modified graphite felt were characterized by several techniques: scanning electron microscope (SEM), water contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy and linear scanning voltammetry (LSV). Compared with an unmodified GF (GF-0), the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of a modified GF was significantly improved due to the introduction of more oxygen-containing functional groups (OGs). Furthermore, the results showed that GF was optimally modified after 9 h (GF-9) of treatment. As an example, the H2O2 generation by GF-9 was 2.26 times higher than that of GF-0. After optimizing the process parameters, which include the initial Fe2+ concentration and current density, the apparent degradation rate constant of levofloxacin (LEV) could reach as high as 0.40 min-1. Moreover, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate and mineralization current efficiency (MCE) of the modified cathode were much higher than that of the GF-0. Conclusively, GF-9 is a promising cathode for the future development in organic pollutant removal via EF.

Abstract
In the past few decades, membrane-based processes have become mainstream in water desalination because of their relatively high water flux, salt rejection, and reasonable operating cost over thermal-based desalination processes. The energy consumption of the membrane process has been continuously lowered (from >10 kWh m-3 to ~3 kWh m-3) over the past decades but remains higher than the theoretical minimum value (~0.8 kWh m-3) for seawater desalination. Thus, the high energy consumption of membrane processes has led to the development of alternative processes, such as the electrochemical, that use relatively less energy. Decades of research have revealed that the low energy consumption of the electrochemical process is closely coupled with a relatively low extent of desalination. Recent studies indicate that electrochemical process must overcome efficiency rather than energy consumption hurdles. This short perspective aims to provide platforms to compare the energy efficiency of the representative membrane and electrochemical processes based on the working principle of each process. Future water desalination methods and the potential role of nanotechnology as an efficient tool to overcome current limitations are also discussed.

Abstract
Carbon-based materials have attracted intensive attentions for a wide range of energy and environment-related applications. Energy storage/conversion devices with improved performance have been achieved by utilization of metal-organic-framework (MOF)-derived carbon structures as active materials in recent years. However, the effects of MOF precursors on the performance of derived carbon materials are rarely investigated. Here, we report that the incorporation of small amount of Fe or Ni in Co-based MOFs leads to a significant enhancement for the derived carbon nanotube-based frameworks (CNTFs) in Na+/Cl- ion electrosorption. Further investigation revealed the enhanced performance can be attributed to the improved specific surface area, electrical conductivity, and electrochemical activity. Notably, the CoFe-CNTF derived from bimetallic CoFe-MOFs achieves a high ion adsorption capacity of 37.0 mg g-1, superior to most of recently reported carbon-based materials. Furthermore, the CoFe-CNTF also demonstrates high catalytic activity toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with a Tafel slope of 87.7 mV dec-1. After combination with three-dimensional graphene foam (3DG), the resultant CoFe-CNTF-coated 3DG is used as air-cathode to fabricate a flexible all-solid-state Zn-air battery, which exhibits a high open circuit potential of 1.455 V. Importantly, the fabricated flexible battery can light a light-emitting diode (LED) even when it is bent. This work provides new insights into designs of high-performance and flexible electrode based on MOF-derived materials.
