Abstract
Biomass-based porous carbon with renewability and flexible structure tunability is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors. However, there is a huge gap between experimental research and practical applications. How to maintain good electrochemical performance of high mass-loading electrodes and suppress the self-discharge of supercapacitors is a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed. The structure regulation of electrode materials such as heteroatom doping is a promising optimization strategy for high mass-loading electrodes. In this work, nitrogen-doped cellulose-derived porous carbon fibers (N-CHPCs) were prepared by a facile bio-template method using cotton cellulose as raw material and urea as dopant. The prepared N-CHPCs have high specific surface area, excellent hierarchical porous structure, partial graphitization properties and suitable heteroatom content. The assembled high mass-loading (12.8 mg cm-2 ; 245 μm) aqueous supercapacitor has excellent electrochemical performance, i. e., low open-circuit voltage attenuation rate (21.39 mV h-1 ), high voltage retention rate (78.81 %), high specific capacitance (295.8 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), excellent area capacitance (3.79 F cm-2 at 0.1 A g-1 ), excellent cycling stability (97.28 % over 20,000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 ). The excellent performance of high mass-loading N-CHPCs is of great significance for their practical applications in advanced aqueous supercapacitors.

Abstract
The most prominent and highly visible advantage attributed to supercapacitors of any type and application, beyond their most notable feature of high current capability, is their high stability in terms of lifetime, number of possible charge/discharge cycles or other stability-related properties. Unfortunately, actual devices show more or less pronounced deterioration of performance parameters during time and use. Causes for this in the material and component levels, as well as on the device level, have only been addressed and discussed infrequently in published reports. The present review attempts a complete coverage on these levels; it adds in modelling approaches and provides suggestions for slowing down ag(e)ing and degradation.

Effect of Pretreatment with Acids on the N-Functionalization of Carbon Nanofibers Using Melamine. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:ma15228239.

Abstract
Nowadays, N-functionalized carbon nanomaterials attract a growing interest. The use of melamine as a functionalizing agent looks prospective from environmental and cost points of view. Moreover, the melamine molecule contains a high amount of nitrogen with an atomic ratio C/N of 1/2. In present work, the initial carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were synthesized via catalytic pyrolysis of ethylene over microdispersed Ni-Cu alloy. The CNF materials were pretreated with 12% hydrochloric acid or with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids, which allowed etching of the metals from the fibers and oxidizing of the fibers' surface. Finally, the CNFs were N-functionalized via their impregnation with a melamine solution and thermolysis in an inert atmosphere. According to the microscopic data, the initial structure of the CNFs remained the same after the pretreatment and post-functionalization procedures. At the same time, the surface of the N-functionalized CNFs became more defective. The textural properties of the materials were also affected. In the case of the oxidative treatment with a mixture of acids, the highest content of the surface oxygen of 11.8% was registered by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The amount of nitrogen introduced during the post-functionalization of CNFs with melamine increased from 1.4 to 4.3%. Along with this, the surface oxygen concentration diminished to 6.4%.

Abstract
A facile method for preparing hierarchical carbon composites that contain activated carbon (AC), carbon nanospheres (CNSs), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as the electrode material in supercapacitors (SCs) was developed. The CNS/CNT network enabled the formation of three-dimensional conducting pathways within the highly porous AC matrix, effectively reducing the internal resistance of an SC electrode. The specific capacitance, cyclability, voltage window, temperature profile during charging/discharging, leakage current, gas evolution, and self-discharge of the fabricated SCs were systematically investigated and the optimal CNS/CNT ratio was determined. A 2.5 V floating aging test at 70 °C was performed on SCs made with various hierarchical carbon electrodes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, postmortem electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses were conducted to examine the electrode aging behavior. A hierarchical carbon architecture with an appropriate AC/CNS/CNT constituent ratio could significantly improve charge-discharge performance, increase cell reliability, and decrease the aging-related degradation rate.

Abstract
Functionalized carbon nanomaterials are potential candidates for use as anode materials in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). The inevitable defect sites in the architectures significantly affect the physicochemical properties of the carbon nanomaterials, thus defect engineering has recently become a vital research area for carbon-based electrodes. However, one of the major issues holding back its further development is the lack of a complete understanding of the effects accounting for the potassium (K) storage of different carbon defects, which have remained elusive. Owing to pressing research demands, the construction strategies, adsorption difficulties, and structure-activity relationships of the carbon defect-involved reaction centers for the K adsorption are systematically summarized using first principles calculations. Carbon defects affect the ability to trap K by affecting the geometry, charge distribution, and conductive behavior of the carbon surface. The results show that carbon doping with pyridinic-N, pyrrolic-N, and P defect sites tend to act as trapping K sites because of electron-deficient sites. However, graphite-N and sulfur doping are less capable of trapping K. In addition, it has been proved using calculations that the defects can inhibit the growth of the K dendrite. Finally, using the molten salt method, we prepared the undoped and nitrogen-doped carbon materials for comparison, verifying the results of the calculation.
