Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) have plenteous exciting features due to their attractive combination of microporosity with π-conjugation. Nevertheless, electrodes based on their pristine forms suffer from severe poverty of electrical conductivity, precluding their employment within electrochemical appliances. The electrical conductivity of POPs may be significantly improved and their porosity properties could be further customized by direct carbonization. In this study, we successfully prepared a microporous carbon material (Py-PDT POP-600) by the carbonization of Py-PDT POP, which was designed using a condensation reaction between 6,6'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) (PDA-4NH2) and 4,4',4'',4'''-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl)tetrabenzaldehyde (Py-Ph-4CHO) in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a solvent. The obtained Py-PDT POP-600 with a high nitrogen content had a high surface area (up to 314 m2 g-1), high pore volume, and good thermal stability based on N2 adsorption/desorption data and a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Owing to the good surface area, the as-prepared Py-PDT POP-600 showed excellent performance in CO2 uptake (2.7 mmol g-1 at 298 K) and a high specific capacitance of 550 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 compared with the pristine Py-PDT POP (0.24 mmol g-1 and 28 F g-1).

Abstract
As increasing attention has been paid to applications of lignin-derived energy storage materials in the last decade, most studies pursue the improvement of electrochemical performance obtained from novel lignin sources, or structure and surface modifications of synthesized materials, while the study on the mechanisms of lignin thermochemical conversion is rare. This review emphasizes on establishing a process-structure-properties-performance correlation across multiple key aspects associated with valorizing lignin from a byproduct of biorefineries to high performance energy storage materials. Such information is the key to a rationally designed process for the low-cost production of carbon materials from lignin.

Super-tough and self-healable all-cellulose-based electrolyte for fast degradable quasi-solid-state supercapacitor. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 304:120502.

Abstract
Recyclable and degradable supercapacitors have promising applications for a sustainable energy storage industry. Herein, we prepare a dual-physical crosslinking (DP) carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel with high-toughness, healability, and electric conductivity by integrating abundant ions into the matrix. The prepared hydrogel displays a maximum compressive fracture stress of 4.42 MPa, fast healing in five seconds, and full degradation within eight days. Moreover, the fabricated supercapacitor shows high specific capacitance (309 F g-1) and volumetric capacitance (2.60 F cm-3). The supercapacitor achieves a healing efficiency of 93.9 % after five cuttings, and exhibits a cycling stability of 84.6 % capacitance retention after 1000 cycles. These merits ensure that the all-cellulose-based supercapacitor can operate in case of sudden collision and deformation, which contribute to reducing the environmental hazards from supercapacitor's preparation to its abandonment.

Construction of PVA-lignosulfonate hydrogels for improved mechanical performances and all-in-one flexible supercapacitors. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 225:1494-1504.

Abstract
All-in-one supercapacitors are one of the best candidates for realizing flexible supercapacitors because of their outstanding flexibility and stability. The pursuit of improved electrochemical performance while meeting the requirements of flexible functionalization has always been a long-term goal. To this aim, lignosulfonate (LS) can be used in the field of all-in-one supercapacitors and contribute to its unique three-dimensional structure and abundant functional groups. By doping a small amount of LS, a simple approach is developed to achieve a one-step improvement in electrochemical performance and flexible functional design in this study. PVA-lignosulfonate hydrogel (PLH) obtains a compact and regular three-dimensional porous structure, higher ionic conductivity (0.17 S/cm), bending flexibility, and compression resistance. Polyaniline (PANI) based solid-state supercapacitors PANI-PVA and PANI-PLH show specific capacitance values of 505 and 558 mF/cm2, respectively, at a current density of 0.5 mA/cm2. After 5000 charge-discharge cycles, the capacitance retention rate increases from 53 % to 73 %, and the PANI-PLH can maintain the stability of electrochemical performance under bending, folding, puncturing, and squeezing. After 1600 times folding, the capacity remains almost 100 %. This study presents a one-step optimization for the construction of functional and high-performance all-in-one supercapacitors in a simple way and a novel idea for the potential application of the high-value lignin.

Abstract
In this work, a novel alkali lignin-based adsorption material, alkali lignin-based poly(tetraethylene pentamine-pyrogallol) (AL-PTAP), was prepared using a Mannich reaction and catechol-amine reaction for removal of Cr(vi). It was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of tetraethylene pentamine (TEPA) dosage, pyrogallol (PL) dosage, contact time, pH, temperature and other factors on the adsorption behavior of the adsorbent were systematically investigated. These experimental data show that the adsorption behavior conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity is 769.2 mg g-1 at 303 K, which is much higher than that of alkali lignin (AL). AL-PTAP can achieve a removal rate of almost 100% for Cr(vi) solutions with a concentration of less than 90 mg L-1 at 1 min. Furthermore, the toxic Cr(vi) is partly reduced to nontoxic Cr(iii) during the adsorption process. Therefore, AL-PTAP is a fast and efficient alkali lignin-based adsorbent, which is expected to improve the utilization value of alkali lignin in Cr(vi) wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) play an important role in controlled cancer drug delivery. Anticancer drugs can be conjugated or encapsulated by polymeric nanocarriers, which are known as polymeric nanomedicine. Polymeric nanomedicine has shown its potential in providing sustained release of drugs with reduced cytotoxicity and modified tumor retention, but until now, few delivery systems loading drugs have been able to meet clinical demands, so more efforts are needed. This research reviews the current state of the cancer drug-loading system by exhibiting a series of published articles that highlight the novelty and functions from a variety of different architectures including micelles, liposomes, dendrimers, polymersomes, hydrogels, and metal–organic frameworks. These may contribute to the development of useful polymeric NPs to achieve different therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Because of their rapid charging and discharging, high power densities, and excellent cycling life stabilities, supercapacitors have great potential for use in electric vehicles, portable electronics, and for grid frequency modulation. The growing need for supercapacitors that are both efficient and ecologically friendly has generated curiosity in developing sustainable biomass-based electrode materials and electrolytes. Lignin, an aromatic polymer with remarkable electroactive redox characteristics and a large number of active functional groups, is one such candidate for use in renewable supercapacitors. Because its chemical structure features an abundance of quinone groups, lignin undergoes various surface redox processes, storing and releasing both electrons and protons. Accordingly, lignin and its derivatives have been tested as electroactive materials in supercapacitors. This review discusses recent examples of supercapacitors incorporating electrode materials and electrolytes derived from lignin, focusing on the pseudocapacitance provided by the quinone moieties, with the goal of encouraging the use of lignin as a raw material for high-value applications. Employing lignin and its derivatives as active materials in supercapacitor electrodes and as a redox additive in electrolytes has the potential to minimize environmental pollution and energy scarcity while also providing economic benefits.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices have been swiftly developed in recent years. Stimuli-responsive EES devices that respond to different external stimuli are considered the most advanced EES devices. The stimuli-responsive EES devices enhanced the performance and applications of the EES devices. The capability of the EES devices to respond to the various external stimuli due to produced advanced EES devices that distinguished the best performance and interactions in different situations. The stimuli-responsive EES devices have responsive behavior to different external stimuli including chemical compounds, electricity, photons, mechanical tensions, and temperature. All of these advanced responsiveness behaviors have originated from the functionality and specific structure of the EES devices. The multi-responsive EES devices have been recognized as the next generation of stimuli-responsive EES devices. There are two main steps in developing stimuli-responsive EES devices in the future. The first step is the combination of the economical, environmental, electrochemical, and multi-responsiveness priorities in an EES device. The second step is obtaining some advanced properties such as biocompatibility, flexibility, stretchability, transparency, and wearability in novel stimuli-responsive EES devices. Future studies on stimuli-responsive EES devices will be allocated to merging these significant two steps to improve the performance of the stimuli-responsive EES devices to challenge complicated situations.

Abstract
The cellulose-based polydopamine modified separator (LID-PDA) and polydopamine/graphene/polypyrrole modified electrode (LID-PDA-GR/PPy) were successfully fabricated by dissolving-regenerating and phase-inversion methods via dopamine polymerization and doping modification of graphene (GR) and polypyrrole (PPy) in a lithium chloride/N,N-dimethylacetamide solvent system. The structure and physical properties of the LID-PDA film material play a positive role in its application in supercapacitor separators and electrodes. The effect of PPy content on the electrochemical performance of the electrode shows that the LID-PDA-GR/PPy-30 electrode has the best performance (2.2 Ω, 237.2 F/g at 0.5 A/g). The cellulose-based supercapacitor assembled from the LID-PDA-GR/PPy-30 electrode and LID-PDA separator shows good electrochemical energy storage properties (439.0 F/g at 0.2 A/g, 36.2 Wh/kg corresponding to 2.2 kW/kg). Based on the microstructural properties of natural and renewable cellulose substrates, combining polymerization and doping to realize the complementarity between materials is meaningful for the application and development of energy storage materials.

Abstract
The development of a novel preparation strategy for 3D porous network structures with an aligned channel or wall is always in challenge. Herein, a 3D porous network composed of an aligned graphene-based wall is fabricated by a confined self-assembly strategy in which holey reduced graphene oxide (HrGO)/lignin sulfonate (Lig) composites are orientedly anchored on the framework of the Lig/single-wall carbon nanotube (Lig/SWCNT) hydrogel by vacuum-assisted filtration accompanied with confined self-assembly and followed with hydrothermal treatment. After freeze drying, the obtained ultralight Lig/SWCNT/HrGOal aerogel exhibits excellent shape memory properties and can roll back to the original shape even if suffering from a high compressive strain of 86.2%. Furthermore, the as-prepared aerogel used as a water-driven artificial muscle shows powerful driving force and can lift ultrahigh weight cargo that is 1030.6 times its own weight. When the prepared Lig/SWCNT/HrGOal aerogel is used as a pressure sensor, it also exhibits high sensitivity (2.28 kPa-1) and a wide detection region of 0.27-14.1 kPa. Additionally, the symmetric flexible supercapacitor assembled with as-prepared aerogel films shows superior stored energy performance that can tolerate 5000 cycles of bending. The present work not only fabricates a high-performance multifunctional material but also develops a new strategy for the preparation a wood-like 3D porous aligned wall network structure.

Abstract
Effective dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is of great importance to achieve their intrinsic performance. Normally, it is believed that CNT dispersion is decided by interactions between CNTs and their dispersants, while other interactions are often neglected. Herein, three ionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), are used to disperse CNTs in a ternary composite, i.e., poly(p-phenylenediamine)-phosphomolybdic acid@reduced graphene oxide (DMoG), respectively, leading to three different DMoGC composites. It has been found that the CNT dispersion in DMoGC was mainly controlled by electrostatic interactions between the surfactants and DMoG, which further exerted vital influences on the constitution, content, morphology, porous structure and supercapacitive performance of the DMoGC composites. Among the three surfactants, cationic CTAB showed the best CNT dispersion, while amphoteric BS-12 could hardly disperse CNTs in DMoGC, leading to DMoGC-CTAB with a 2 times larger specific surface area (152.3 m2 g-1) and 1.5 times higher specific capacitance (422 F g-1) than those of DMoGC-(BS-12). Our study can provide valuable guidelines for selecting/designing effective dispersants to prepare multi-component composites containing uniformly dispersed CNTs.

Abstract
Herein, we design a dynamic redox system of using high contents of lignosulfonate (LS) and Al3+ to prepare poly acrylic acid (PAA) (LS-g-PAA-Al) hydrogels. The presence of high LS and Al3+ contents, in combination with the effective Al3+ complexes formed, renders the resultant hydrogel with some unique attributes, including excellent ionic conductivity (as high as 7.38 S·m-1) and antibacterial activity; furthermore, a very fast gelation (in 1 min) was obtained. As a flexible strain sensor, the LS-g-PAA-Al hydrogel with high conductivity demonstrates superior sensitivity in human movement detection. In addition, the rich anionic hydrophilic groups, such as sulfonic groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, in the hydrogels impart the resultant hydrogels with excellent adsorption capacity for cationic dyes: when using Rhodamine B (RB) as a model cationic dye, the adsorption capacity of the resultant hydrogel reaches 334.64 mg·g-1; as a moist-induced power generator, it generates maximum 150.5 mV open circuit voltage with moist air flow. When the hydrogel electrolyte is assembled into a supercapacitor assembly, it shows high specific capacitance of 245.4 F·g-1, with the maximum energy density of 21.8 Wh·kg-1, power density of 2.37 kW·kg-1, and capacitance retention of 95.1% after 5000 consecutive charge-discharge cycles.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have received extensive attention due to being highly toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic organic pollutants. As a result, a series of adsorbents have been designed and developed to solve the problem. In this paper, CuZnFeAl–S has been explored as a highly efficient adsorbent for PAHs. First, CuZnFeAl–LDH was prepared using a coprecipitation method and then calcined at 500 °C to obtain CuZnFeAlO. Finally, CuZnFeAl–S was prepared by modifying CuZnFeAlO with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption–desorption, SEM, ICP, FT-IR, TG-DSC, and IGC; subsequently their adsorption performance was investigated. The results show that the surface properties of CuZnFeAl–S changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic after SDS modification, which enhanced the adsorption of PAHs obviously. The removal of naphthalene and phenanthrene on CuZnFeAl–S reached 97.3% and 90.3%, respectively. And the adsorption process of naphthalene and phenanthrene conforms to Langmuir adsorption and Freundlich adsorption, respectively. Besides, the adsorption thermodynamics indicate that the adsorption of PAHs was a spontaneous exothermic reaction. The highly efficient PAH adsorption performance of CuZnFeAl–S is the synergistic result of various molecule interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, π–π interactions, and electrostatic attraction. CuZnFeAl–S improves the adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which has a profound impact on environmental treatment.![]()

Abstract
Two-electrode electrochemical tests provide a close performance approximation to that of an actual supercapacitor device. This study presents mesoporous carbon materials successfully derived from Washingtonia robusta bark (Mexican fan palm) and their electrical performance in a 2-electrode supercapacitor device. The triad relationship among carbon materials “processing, properties, and performance” was comprehensively investigated. X-ray diffraction reveal that amorphousness increases with activating KOH ratio and decreases with both activation time and temperature. Raman spectroscopy shows an increase in structural defects and degree of graphitization with an increase in KOH ratio, temperature and time while transmission electron microscopy shows conversion of aggregated particles to materials with interconnected porosity and subsequent destruction of porosity with an increase in KOH ratio. A nitrogen-sorption study reveals varying trends between BET, micro and mesopore surface areas, however, pore size and volume and hysteresis loop size decreases with KOH ratio and temperature. Electrochemical studies on the other hand reveal that both the specific capacitance and charge–discharge time increase with KOH ratio, temperature and time while both charge transfer and Warburg resistances decrease and the phase angles increases towards the ideal −90° with an increase in KOH ratio, temperature and time. The device fabricated with the HHPB sample prepared at 700 °C, KOH ratio 3 for 60 min attained a specific capacitance of 179.3 and 169 F g−1 at a scan rate of 5 mV s−1 and current density of 0.5 A g−1, respectively, good cycling stability with 95% capacitance retention and 100% coulombic efficiency when cycled 5000 times at a current density of 2 A g−1. HHPB electrodes reveal perfect EDLC behavior with an energy density of 20 W h kg−1 and power density of 2000 W kg−1 when used in a symmetric coin supercapacitor cell with 6 M KOH solution. These findings show the potential of fan palm bark as electrode materials with good stability and high-rate capability for supercapacitor application. Electrode materials processing conditions, electrode properties and supercapacitor device performance show a triad relationship.![]()

Abstract
The biomass-based inter-transmission network architecture is expected to act on all-solid-state supercapacitors (ASSSCs) by building excellent conductive paths and achieving high ionic conductivity to promote their development as future electronic devices. Here, biomass-derived hybrid organogel electrodes constructed by incorporating polyaniline (PANI) into cellulose/dealkaline lignin (C/DL) film architectures exhibit an impressive specific capacitance (582 F g-1 at 1 A g-1) due to the effective dispersion and doping of PANI. Moreover, the specific capacitance of the best C/DL-PANI electrode is nearly 19 times higher than that of a cellulose-PANI electrode, which is attributed to the contribution of DL to the pseudocapacitance. ASSSCs assembled using the C/DL-PANI electrodes and the DL gel electrolyte exhibit excellent specific capacitance (344 F g-1 at 1 A g-1), Coulombic efficiency (∼100% for 5000 cycles), cycle stability (85.7% for 5000 cycles at 1 A g-1), and energy density (58.1 W h kg-1 at 0.5 kW kg-1). The ASSSCs showed a comparable or even higher electrochemical performance than the reported PANI-based or biomass-based ASSSCs, which can be due to the conductive network of the biomass-derived electrodes, the migration of ions between the electrodes through the gel electrolyte ion pathway, and the interfacial synergy. This innovative work paves the way for the development of ASSSC applications based on biomass materials.

Abstract
To meet critical requirements on flexible electronic devices, multifunctionalized flexible sensors with excellent electromechanical performance and temperature perception are required. Herein, lignin-reinforced thermoresponsive poly(ionic liquid) hydrogel is prepared through an ultrasound-assisted synthesized method. Benefitting from the electrostatic interaction between lignin and ionic liquid, the hydrogel displays high stretchability (over 1425%), excellent toughness (over 132 kPa), and impressive stress loading-unloading cyclic stability. The hydrogel strain sensor presents excellent electromechanical performance with a high gauge factor (1.37) and rapid response rate (198 ms), which lays the foundation for human body movement detection and smart input. Moreover, owing to the thermal-sensitive feature of poly(ionic liquid), the as-prepared hydrogel displays remarkable thermal response sensitivity (0.217°C−1) in body temperature range and low limit of detection, which can be applied as a body shell temperature indicator. Particularly, the hydrogel can detect dual stimuli of strain and temperature and identify each signal individually, showing the specific application in human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence. By integrating the hydrogel strain sensor into a wireless sensation system, remote motion capture and gesture identification is realized in real-time.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for wearable electronics (such as smartwatch equipment, wearable health monitoring systems, and human-robot interface units), flexible energy storage systems with eco-friendly, low-cost, multifunctional characteristics, and high electrochemical performances are imperative to be constructed. Nanocellulose with sustainable natural abundance, superb properties, and unique structures has emerged as a promising nanomaterial, which shows significant potential for fabricating functional energy storage systems. This review is intended to provide novel perspectives on the combination of nanocellulose with other electrochemical materials to design and fabricate nanocellulose-based flexible composites for advanced energy storage devices. First, the unique structural characteristics and properties of nanocellulose are briefly introduced. Second, the structure-property-application relationships of these composites are addressed to optimize their performances from the perspective of processing technologies and micro/nano-interface structure.

Abstract
Because of increasing interest in environmentally benign supercapacitors, earth-abundant biopolymers have found their way into value-added applications. Herein, a promising nanocomposite based on an interpenetrating network of polyaniline and sulfonated lignin (lignosulfonate, LS) is presented. On the basis of an appropriate regulation of the nucleation kinetics and growth behavior via applying a series of rationally designed potential pulse patterns, a uniform PANI-LS film is achieved. On the basis of the fast rate of H+ insertion-deinsertion kinetics, rather than the slow SO42- doping-dedoping process, the PANI-LS nanocomposite delivers specific capacitance of 1200 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 surpassing the best conducting polymer-lignin supercapacitors known. A symmetric PANI-LS||PANI-LS device delivers a high specific energy of 21.2 W h kg-1, an outstanding specific power of 26.0 kW kg-1, along with superb flexibility and excellent cycling stability. Thus, combining charge storage attributes of polyaniline and lignosulfonate enables a waste-to-wealth approach to improve the supercapacitive performance of polyaniline.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are of paramount importance for next-generation applications, demonstrating high energy output and an ultra-long cycle life, and utilizing green and sustainable materials. Herein, we utilize celery, a common biomass from vegetables, by a facile low-cost pyrolysis and activation method for use in high-voltage, high-energy, and high-power supercapacitors. The as-synthesized hierarchically porous carbon materials with a high surface area of 1612 m2 g-1 and a large quantity of nitrogen and phosphorus heteroatoms exhibit a high specific capacitance of 1002.80 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and excellent cycling stability of 95.6% even after 10 000 cycles (10 A g-1) in aqueous electrolytes. Moreover, the assembled symmetric cell delivers a high energy density of 32.7 W h kg-1 at 1200 W kg-1 and an ultra-high stability (loss of 4.8% after 10 000 cycles). Therefore, the outstanding electrochemical performance of the materials will be of use in the development of high-performance, green supercapacitors for advanced energy storage systems.

Abstract
Water pollution is one of the most serious threats facing mankind today and has obtained widespread attention. Significant advances have been made in the past decades to apply porous materials in wastewater treatment, due to their large specific surface areas (SBET) for interaction with the aimed ions or molecules. However, the majority of porous materials are prepared from fossil-based resources and still possess some drawbacks, such as high cost and non-degradability, which inevitably cause secondary pollution to the environment from their production to disposal. Lignin is the most abundant and the only scalable renewable aromatic resource on earth. Due to its unique physicochemical properties including high carbon content, plentiful functional groups and environmental friendliness, the lignin-based porous materials (LPMs) have shown promising prospects in efficient removal of soluble pollutants from wastewater. In this review, we firstly described the structural and chemical basis of LPMs, following presented the recent progress in the decontamination of heavy metal ions, organic dyes, antibiotics, anions and radionuclides from aqueous systems. Additionally, the outlook was provided to promote more practical implementation of LPMs in the near future.

Abstract
Lignin, an abundant natural polymer but presently under-utilized, has received much attention for its green/sustainable advantages. Herein, we report a facile method to fabricate lignosulfonate (LS) ionic hydrogels by simple crosslinking with poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE). The as-obtained LS-PEGDGE hydrogels were comprehensively characterized by mechanical measurements, FT-IR, and SEM. The rich sulfonic and phenolic hydroxyl groups in LS hydrogels play key roles in imparting multifunctional smart properties, such as adhesiveness, conducting, sensing and dye adsorption, as well as superconductive behavior when increasing the moisture content. The hydrogels have a high adsorption capacity for cationic dyes, using methylene blue as a model, reaching 211 mg·g-1. As a moist-induced power generator, the maximum output voltage is 181 mV. The LS-PEGDGE hydrogel-based flexible strain sensors exhibit high sensitivity when detecting human movements. As the hydrogel electrolyte, the assembled supercapacitor shows high specific capacitance of 236.9 F·g-1, with the maximum energy density of 20.61 Wh·kg-1, power density of 2306.4 W·kg-1, and capacitance retention of 92.9% after 10,000 consecutive charge-discharge cycles. Therefore, this multifunctional LS hydrogels may have promising applications in various fields, providing a new platform for the value-added utilization of lignin from industrial waste.

Abstract
The high value-added conversion of biomass lignin has been paramount in the field of lignin utilization, especially for high performance energy conversion and storage devices. A majority of lignin-based supercapacitors generally exhibit inferior electrochemical performance with low capacitance and slow diffusion kinetics due to the poor interfacial compatibility, low conductivity, and uncontrollable morphology. Herein, we designed all-lignin converted graphene quantum dot and graphene sheet (GQD/Gr) hetero-junction for simultaneous fast charging and boosted specific capacitance. The conversion from lignin to GQDs and then refusion into graphene allows the in situ growth of GQDs on graphene, endowing good interfacial compatibility with the GQD/Gr hetero-junction. Furthermore, both GQDs and graphene sheets exhibit highly crystalline structure with obvious graphene lattice, giving GQDs/Gr good conductivity. GQDs play an additive role for avoiding stacks and agglomerates between graphene layers, which endow the assembled GQDs/Gr with massive electron capacitive sites and more hierarchical channels. Therefore, the GQD/Gr hetero-junction gives rise to a high specific capacitance of 404.6 F g-1 and a short charging time constant (τ 0) of 0.3 s, 2.5 times higher and 7.5 times faster than that of the unmodified lignin electrode with 162 F g-1 and 2.3 s, respectively. This proposed strategy could offer the opportunity to unblock the critical roadblocks for a superior electrochemical performance lignin-based supercapacitor by composing a 0D/2D GQD/Gr hetero-junction system and also paves a bright way for the high-value industrial lignin conversion into cheap, scalable, and high-performance electrochemical energy devices.

Unveiling the exceptional synergism-induced design of Co-Mg-Al layered triple hydroxides (LTHs) for boosting catalytic activity toward the green synthesis of indol-3-yl derivatives under mild conditions. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 599:227-244.

Abstract
The current study provides a novel insight into the role of synergism of the changes in Mg2+/ Al3+ in the best catalytic activity of indol-3-yl derivatives. A series of Co-Mg-Al layered triple hydroxides (LTHs) catalysts were produced by altering the Al3+/Mg2+ ratio with respect to Co2+. The physicochemical properties of LTHs were well characterized by ICP-AES, XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, BET, Zeta-sizer, and VSM. The results show that the sample CMA4 (Co2+:Mg2+:Al3+ 2:4:4) is an exception to the physicochemical characteristics of the produced Co-Mg-Al LTHs, which is due to the synergism between the changes in Mg2+ and Al3+. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report the synthesis of indol-3-yl derivatives from indole-3-carbaldehyde using Co-Mg-Al LTHs as highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts, which is an extremely appealing path. The selectivity of the synthesis was studied by condensing various nucleophiles through the one-pot method that established superior reactivity under mild conditions. Notably, the results show that the Co-Mg-Al LTHs system exhibited an extraordinarily catalytic activity, with the highest yield (98%) being obtained under the following optimal conditions: the concentration of Co-Mg-Al LTHs = 5 mol%, 30 min., water/ethanol as solvent. Furthermore, the reusable studies exhibited that the catalysts were found to be stable and reusable for up to six cycles without substantial loss of catalytic activity. Finally, a plausible reaction mechanism of the Co-Mg-Al LTHs system for indol-3-yl derivatives was put forward according to our comprehensive analysis. Our work illuminates a cheap and flexible strategy for the synthesis of indol-3-yl derivatives using Co-Mg-Al LTHs.

Abstract
Two dimensional MXenes with fascinating characteristics of high electrical conductivity, high density and electroactivity show promising applications in various fields. However, the direct applications of MXenes have been limited due to their inferior mechanical properties and easy restacking. Herein, a kind of nacre-like composite film constructed with Ti3C2Tx, cellulose nanofiber (HCNF) and sodium lignosulfonate (Lig) obtained through the hydrothermal process, named Ti3C2Tx/HCNF@Lig, has been successfully synthesized. The hydrothermal cellulose nanofiber (HCNF) film shows an enhanced mechanical strength (114 MPa) compared to that of the CNF film (95 MPa). Wood-inspired HCNF@Lig composite films present an enhanced mechanical tensile strength of up to 133 MPa. Nacre-like deformable Ti3C2Tx/HCNF@Lig(3@1) composite films exhibit high conductivity (up to 1.75 × 105 S m-1) and mechanical properties (up to 258 MPa). The electrodes of Ti3C2Tx/HCNF@Lig(3@1)97/3 composite film assembled flexible solid-state supercapacitors possess an excellent volumetric specific capacitance of 748.96 F cm-3. The corresponding deformable supercapacitors show an excellent energy density of 16.2 W h L-1 and outstanding electrochemical cycling stability. The as-prepared nacre-like Ti3C2Tx/HCNF@Lig composite films with high mechanical properties and electrochemical performance are expected to be practically applied in flexible/wearable energy storage devices.

Abstract
Water splitting is the most potential method to produce hydrogen energy, however, the conventional electrocatalysts encounter the hindrances of high overpotential and low hydrogen production efficiency. Herein, we report a carbon-based nanocomposite (denoted as CCW-x, x stands for the calcination temperature) derived from watermelon peels and CoCl2, and the as-synthesized CCW-x is used as the electrocatalyst. The overpotential and the Tafel slope of CCW-700 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is 237 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and 69.8 mV dec-1, respectively, both of which are lower than those of commercial RuO2. For hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the overpotential of CCW-700 (111 mV) is higher than that of the widely studied Pt/C (73 mV) but still lower than those of lots of carbon-based nanomaterials (122-177 mV). In the light of CCW-700 is highly active for both OER and HER, we assembled a water-splitting electrocatalyst by employing nickel foam loaded with CCW-700 as the anode and cathode in 1 M KOH. The water-splitting voltage is only 1.54 V for the CCW-700//CCW-700 electrodes and 1.62 V for the RuO2//Pt/C ones. Therefore, the so-denoted CCW-x powder possesses good electrocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency.

Abstract
Flexible all-solid-state supercapacitors (ASSSs) are excellent energy storage devices for portable/wearable electronics, although the development of an excellent comprehensive performance film electrode for the extraordinary flexible ASSSs still faces a great challenge. Here, bendable, foldable and anti-exfoliative Ti3C2Tx MXene-based films utilized as supercapacitor electrodes are reported. Polyaniline/Ti3C2Tx composites (i-PANI@Ti3C2Tx) were prepared by in situ oxidant-free polymerization of aniline on Ti3C2Tx nanosheets with p-phenylenediamine (PPD) as an initiator. Lignosulfonate (Lig) and Ti3C2Tx were constructed into a compact composite (Lig@Ti3C2Tx) film based on the hydrogen bonds formed between Lig and Ti3C2Tx. The Lig@Ti3C2Tx/i-PANI@Ti3C2Tx(5/5) hybrid film was produced by vacuum-assisted filtration of the mixed two composite dispersions. The as-prepared films can be arbitrarily deformed (such as bending and folding). They show high tensile strength and vertical-plane (the plane of film) tensile strength with 33.2 and 0.28 MPa for the i-PANI@Ti3C2Tx film, 75.4 and 0.77 MPa for the Lig@Ti3C2Tx film, and 53.7 and 0.58 MPa for the Lig@Ti3C2Tx/i-PANI@Ti3C2Tx(5/5) film (those of Ti3C2Tx film are 17.4 and 0.21 MPa), respectively. The enhanced vertical-plane tensile strength of the as-prepared composite films indicates that the large binding force generated between the Ti3C2Tx nanosheets can effectively prevent the exfoliation of films. The electrodes of the as-prepared i-PANI@Ti3C2Tx, Lig@Ti3C2Tx and Lig@Ti3C2Tx/i-PANI@Ti3C2Tx(5/5) films assembled into symmetric flexible ASSSs can deliver excellent specific capacitances of 310 F g-1 (∼1001 F cm-3), 271 F g-1 (∼881 F cm-3) and 295 F g-1 (∼959 F cm-3), respectively. In addition, the corresponding supercapacitors exhibit ultrahigh energy densities of 34.8, 30.6 and 33.3 W h L-1, respectively. It is expected that the as-prepared MXene-based films can be applied in various fields, such as electromagnetic-interference shielding and batteries. Furthermore, the as-prepared flexible ASSSs can be practically used as a wearable energy storage device.

Abstract
Biobased N-doped hierarchically porous carbon (N-HPC) electrodes were successfully prepared by utilizing marine crustacean derivatives and chitin nanofibers (ChNF), as versatile bio-templates of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) to form ChNF@ZIF-8 nanocomposites, followed by a subsequent carbonization process. The ZIF-8 nanoparticles were in situ synthesized on ChNF surfaces to avoid fragmentation for fabricating hierarchically porous carbon structure (N-HPC), which is efficiently doped with rich nitrogen content that originates in ChNF and ZIF-8. The results show that N-HPC electrodes demonstrate improved electrochemical performance and the constructed symmetric supercapacitor assembled with N-HPC exhibits enhanced capacitive performance of specific capacity (128.5 F·g-1 at 0.2 A·g-1) and excellent electrochemical stability even after 5000 cycles. This facile and effective preparation method of N-HPC electrodes derived from marine crustacean nanomaterials will have great potential in the construction of next-generation electrochemical energy-storage devices with excellent capacitance performance.

Abstract
High-performance hydrogels play a crucial role as solid electrolytes for flexible electrochemical supercapacitors (ESCs). More specifically, all solid-state ESCs based on renewable, biodegradable and/or biocompatible hydrogels doped with inorganic salts as electrolytes are attractive not only because of their contribution to reducing resource consumption and/or the generation of electronic garbage, but also due to their potential applicability in the biomedical field. Here, computer simulations have been combined with experimental measurements to probe the outstanding capability as solid electrolytes of photo-crosslinked unsaturated polyesteramide hydrogels containing phenylalanine, butenediol and fumarate, and doped with NaCl (UPEA-Phe/NaCl). Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have shown the influence of the hydrogel pore structure in the migration of Na+ and Cl- ions, suggesting that UPEA-Phe/NaCl hydrogels prepared without completing the photo-crosslinking reaction will exhibit better behavior as solid electrolytes. Theoretical predictions have been confirmed by potentiodynamic and galvanostatic studies on ESCs fabricated using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) electrodes and UPEA-Phe/NaCl hydrogels, which were obtained using different times of exposure to UV radiation (i.e. 4 and 8 h for incomplete and complete photo-crosslinking reaction). Moreover, the behavior as a solid electrolyte of the UPEA-Phe/NaCl hydrogel prepared using a photo-polymerization time of 4 h has been found to be significantly superior to those exhibited by different polypeptide and polysaccharide hydrogels, which were analyzed using ESCs with identical electrodes and experimental conditions.

Abstract
Hydrogels derived from lignin are typically weak and contain only a small amount of lignin, which limits their broad application prospects. In the present work, a novel lignin/poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) hydrogel with a high lignin content, superb toughness, and ultrahigh antioxidative performance is constructed by employing a facile dissolve-dry-swell solvent exchange method. Through this process, lignin and PDMA are self-assembled into a multienergy dissipative structure containing rigid lignin-rich domains. Precisely, the PDMA chains both interpenetrated inside and adhered on the surface of these domains through hydrophobic associations. This structure enables the lignin hydrogels to dissipate energy efficiently during the fracture process. At an optimized ultrahigh lignin content of 58% (dry weight basis), the prepared lignin hydrogel exhibited remarkable mechanical properties, such as a high elastic modulus (2.5 MPa), tensile strength (2.5 MPa), and super tensile strain (11.3), and an extremely high fracture energy above 16 000 J m-2. In addition, the tough lignin hydrogel exhibited a commendable antioxidant property and nontoxicity. All these advantageous properties provide the lignin/PDMA hydrogels with the potential for use in biomedical materials applications.

Abstract
Lignin is the second most earth-abundant biopolymer having aromatic unit structures, but it has received less attention than other natural biomaterials. Recent advances in the development of lignin-based materials, such as mesoporous carbon, flexible thin films, and fiber matrix, have found their way into applications to photovoltaic devices, energy-storage systems, mechanical energy harvesters, and catalytic components. In this Review, we summarize and suggest another dimension of lignin valorization as a building block for the synthesis of functional materials in the fields of energy and environmental applications. We cover lignin-based materials in the photovoltaic and artificial photosynthesis for solar energy conversion applications. The most recent technological evolution in lignin-based triboelectric nanogenerators is summarized from its fundamental properties to practical implementations. Lignin-derived catalysts for solar-to-heat conversion and oxygen reduction are discussed. For energy-storage applications, we describe the utilization of lignin-based materials in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors (e.g., electrodes, binders, and separators). We also summarize the use of lignin-based materials as heavy-metal adsorbents for environmental remediation. This Review paves the way to future potentials and opportunities of lignin as a renewable material for energy and environmental applications.

Abstract
For the development of advanced flexible and wearable electronic devices, functional electrolytes with excellent conductivity, temperature tolerance, and desirable mechanical properties need to be engineered. Herein, an alkaline double-network hydrogel with high conductivity and superior mechanical and antifreezing properties is designed and promisingly utilized as the flexible electrolyte in all-solid-state zinc-air batteries. The conductive hydrogel is comprised of covalently cross-linked polyelectrolyte poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid potassium salt) (PAMPS-K) and interpenetrating methyl cellulose (MC) in the presence of concentrated alkaline solutions. The covalently cross-linked PAMPS-K skeleton and interpenetrating MC chains endow the hydrogel with good mechanical strength, toughness, an extremely rapid self-recovery capability, and an outstanding antifatigue property. Gratifyingly, the entrapment of a concentrated alkaline solution in the hydrogel matrix yields an extremely high ionic conductivity (105 mS cm-1 at 25 °C) and an excellent antifreezing capacity. The hydrogel retains comparable conductivity and eligible strength to withstand various mechanical deformations at -20 °C. The all-solid-state zinc-air batteries using PAMPS-K/MC hydrogels as flexible alkaline electrolytes exhibit comparable values of specific capacity (764.7 mAh g-1), energy capacity (850.2 mWh g-1), cycling stability, and mechanical flexibility. The batteries still possess competitive electrochemical performances even when the operating temperature drops to -20 °C.

Abstract
Polymers obtained from biomass are an interesting alternative to petro-based polymers due to their low cost of production, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. This is the case of lignin, which is the second most abundant biopolymer in plants. As a consequence, the exploitation of lignin for the production of new materials with improved properties is currently considered as one of the main challenging issues, especially for the paper industry. Regarding its chemical structure, lignin is a crosslinked polymer that contains many functional hydrophilic and active groups, such as hydroxyls, carbonyls and methoxyls, which provides a great potential to be employed in the synthesis of biodegradable hydrogels, materials that are recognized for their interesting applicability in biomedicine, soil and water treatment, and agriculture, among others. This work describes the main methods for the preparation of lignin-based hydrogels reported in the last years, based on the chemical and/or physical interaction with polymers widely used in hydrogels formulations. Furthermore, herein are also reviewed the current applications of lignin hydrogels as stimuli-responsive materials, flexible supercapacitors, and wearable electronics for biomedical and water remediation applications.

Abstract
Gel electrolytes are important components in flexible solid-state supercapacitors. An urgent need exists for gel electrolytes that can store abundant electrolyte ions and provide high ionic conductivity, with performance characteristics similar to the liquid electrolyte, enabling high-power capability for devices. Herein, we have reported a general and scalable strategy toward various high-performance gel electrolytes including the first freeze of chemical cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) followed by infusing with different electrolytes (acid, neutral, and alkaline). The engineering not only endows robust electrolyte ion retention ability and outstanding ion migration rate but also strengthens the mechanical properties for gel electrolytes. As a proof of application, we demonstrate that an all-in-one supercapacitor with a H2SO4 gel electrolyte can deliver excellent rate capability (58.2% retention under the 50-fold increase in current densities), high areal capacitance (644.4 mF cm-2), and long operating lifetime (63.6% retention after 50 000 cycles), representing the best performance among the previously reported all-in-one devices. Thus, we anticipate that the method has a potential application for flexible solid-state energy storage.
