Hyphae Carbon Coupled with Gel Composite Assembly for Construction of Advanced Carbon/Sulfur Cathodes for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2307579.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of novel carbon hosts with high conductivity, accelerated electrochemical catalytic activities, and superior physical/chemical confinement on sulfur and its reaction intermediates polysulfides are essential for the construction of high-performance C/S cathodes for lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). In this work, a novel biofermentation coupled gel composite assembly technology is developed to prepare cross-linked carbon composite hosts consisting of conductive Rhizopus hyphae carbon fiber (RHCF) skeleton and lamellar sodium alginate carbon (SAC) uniformly implanted with polarized nanoparticles (V2O3, Ag, Co, etc.) with diameters of several nanometers. Impressively, the RHCF/SAC/V2O3 composites exhibit enhanced physical/chemical adsorption of polysulfides due to the synergistic effect between hierarchical pore structures, heteroatoms (N, P) doping, and polar V2O3 generation. Additionally, the catalytic conversion kinetics of cathodes are effectively improved by regulating the 3D carbon structure and optimizing the V2O3 catalyst. Consequently, the LSBs assembled with RHCF/SAC/V2O3-S cathode show exceptional cycle stability (capacity retention rate of 94.0% after 200 cycles at 0.1 C) and excellent rate performance (specific capacity of 578 mA h g-1 at 5 C). This work opens a new door for the fabrication of hyphae carbon composites via fermentation for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Biomass-based carbon aerogels hold promising application prospect in the field of supercapacitors. In this research, starch was selected as a raw material for preparing carbon aerogels. The preparation process of starch hydrogels was simplified by using KOH, which can change starch suspension into hydrogels at room temperature. Moreover, the molecular mixing of KOH and starch was realized, so that KOH can be fully utilized in the activation process. The specific surface area of the starch-based carbon aerogels prepared by this method was 1349 m2/g, and the proportion of micropores was 43.7 %. Remarkably, as electrode materials for supercapacitors, the starch-based carbon aerogels exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance. In a three-electrode system, the carbon aerogels exhibited specific capacitance of 211.5 F/g at 0.5 A/g and 138.5 F/g at 10 A/g, suggesting their suitability for high-current applications. In a symmetrical supercapacitor configuration, the materials exhibited an energy density of 11.3 Wh/kg at a power density of 0.5 kW/kg and the specific capacitance can maintain 98.91 % after 10,000 cycles. Overall, this work provides a new method for mixing activators, which will foster potential advances in starch based carbon aerogels.

Abstract
Supercapacitors as potential candidates for novel green energy storage devices demonstrate a promising future in promoting sustainable energy supply, but their development is impeded by limited energy density, which can be addressed by developing high-capacitance electrode materials with efforts. Carbon materials derived from biopolymers have received much attention for their abundant reserves and environmentally sustainable nature, rendering them ideal for supercapacitor electrodes. However, the limited capacitance has hindered their widespread application, resulting in the proposal of various strategies to enhance the capacity properties of carbon electrodes. This paper critically reviewed the recent research progress of biopolymers-based carbon electrodes. The advances in biopolymers-based carbon electrodes for supercapacitors are presented, followed by the strategies to improve the capacitance of carbon electrodes which include pore engineering, doping engineering and composite engineering. Furthermore, this review is summarized and the challenges of biopolymer-derived carbon electrodes are discussed. The purpose of this review is to promote the widespread application of biopolymers in the domain of supercapacitors.

Abstract
Electrochemical crosslinking of alginate strands by in situ iron oxidation was explored using a potentiostatic regime. Carbon-based materials co-doped with iron, nitrogen, and/or sulfur were prepared via electrolyte composition variation with a nitrogen-rich compound (rivanol) or through post-treatments with sodium sulfide. Nanometer-sized iron particles were confirmed by transmission and field emission scanning electron microscopy in all samples as a consequence of the homogeneous dispersion of iron in the alginate scaffold and its concomitant growth-limiting effect of alginate chains. Raman spectra confirmed a rise in structural disorder with rivanol/Na2S treatment, which points to more defect sites and edges known to be active sites for oxygen reduction. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra confirmed the presence of different iron, nitrogen, and sulfur species, with a marked difference between Na2S treated/untreated samples. The most positive onset potential (-0.26 V vs. saturated calomel electrode, SCE) was evidenced for the sample co-doped with N, S, and Fe, surpassing the activity of those with single and/or double doping. The mechanism of oxygen reduction in 0.1 M KOH was dominated by the 2e- reduction pathway at low overpotentials and shifted towards complete 4e- reduction at the most negative explored values. The presented results put forward electrochemically formed alginate gels functionalized by homogeneously dispersed multivalent cations as an excellent starting point in nanomaterial design and engineering.

Abstract
Among the vast class of porous carbon materials, N-doped porous carbons have emerged as promising materials in catalysis due to their unique properties. The introduction of nitrogen into the carbonaceous matrix can lead to the creation of new sites on the carbon surface, often associated with pyridinic or pyrrolic nitrogen functionalities, which can facilitate various catalytic reactions with increased selectivity. Furthermore, the presence of N dopants exerts a significant influence on the properties of the supported metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, including the metal dispersion, interactions between the metal and support, and stability of the metal nanoparticles. These effects play a crucial role in enhancing the catalytic performance of the N-doped carbon-supported catalysts. Thus, N-doped carbons and metals supported on N-doped carbons have been revealed to be interesting heterogeneous catalysts for relevant synthesis processes of valuable compounds. This review presents a concise overview of various methods employed to produce N-doped porous carbons with distinct structures, starting from diverse precursors, and showcases their potential in various catalytic processes, particularly in fine chemical synthesis.

Hepar-on-a-sensor-platform with hybridization chain reaction amplification strategy to intuitively monitor the hepatoxicity of natural compounds. Acta Biomater 2023; 160:73-86.

Abstract
The irrational use of natural compounds in the treatment of diseases can lead to serious side effects, especially hepatoxicity, and its toxic effects are usually cumulative and imperceptible. Therefore, an accurate sensing platform is urgently needed to monitor the hepatotoxicity of natural compounds. Here, we deposited a thermo-responsive alginate-RGD/Pluronic hydrogel to construct an in vitro three-dimensional(3D) hepar-platform, and a thorough validation was adopted to evaluate the bioprinted hepatic constructs. The engineered hepar-platform was then employed to access its biological response toward Emodin (EM) and Triptolide (TP), two typical hepatotoxic natural compounds. Subsequently, we integrated it with a robust fluorescent sensor based on hybridization chain reaction amplification strategy (HCR) to monitor the early hepatotoxic biomarker - glutathione-S-transferase-alpha (GST-α) secreted by this 3D constructs. Our study was the first attempt to construct an accurate hepar-on-a-sensor platform that could effectively detect GST-α for monitoring the hepatoxic effects of natural compounds. The limit of detection of the platform was 0.3 ng ml-1 and the accuracy of this platform was verified by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Furthermore, the variation of GST-α induced by EM and TP was consistent with hepatotoxicity studies, thus providing an important application value for evaluating the hepatotoxicity of natural compounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: 1. We deposited a thermo-responsive alginate-RGD/Pluronic hydrogel to construct an in vitro three-dimensional(3D) hepar-platform, and elucidated the essential reasons why hybrid bioinks more suitable for 3D extrusion from biomaterials itself. Also, a thorough validation associated with a series of important proteins and genes involved in liver cell metabolism was adopted to evaluate the bioprinted hepatic constructs accurately 2. Glutathione-S-transferase-alpha is a soluble trace biomarker for acute hepatotoxic injury, the hepatotoxic effects of natural compounds on the secretion of GST-α has not been reported to date. We integrated our 3D hepar-platform with recognition molecules-aptamers and HCR amplification strategy to monitor the variation of GST-α, aiming at developing a robust and stable fluorescent biosensing platform to monitor the hepatoxicity of natural compounds.

Abstract
Traditional polymer-based separators and solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) often suffer from inherent poor flame retardancy and unsatisfied ionic conductivity, which seriously affect the safety and energy storage performance of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Inspired by the mechanism of Li+ conductivity, an alginate fiber (AF)-grafted polyetheramine (AF-PEA) separator with efficient Li+ transport and excellent flame retardancy is dedicatedly designed, which also can act as the backbone for PEO-based SPEs (PEO@AF-PEA). Based on the intrinsic flame retardancy of the AF, the AF-PEA shows self-extinguishing ability, and its Li+ transport ability (1.8 mS cm-1 at 25 °C) is enhanced by grafting the ion-conductive PEA chain segment. By simulating the transport and distribution of Li+ in the AF-PEA, the PEA with 7-segment chain lengths can uniformly fill the Li+ transport space between the alginate backbone to promote the Li+ adsorption and the utilization of Li+ anchoring points in PEA side chains, increasing the Li+ transport rate and migration capacity. The LiFePO4/Li solid-state battery assembled using PEO@AF-PEA SPEs exhibits high safety and excellent cycling performance (exceeding 100 mAh g-1 after 1500 cycles at 2 C current density and 80 °C with less than 0.016% capacity decay for each cycle).

Abstract
Coconut husk biomass waste was used as the carbon precursor to develop a simple and economical process for the preparation of hierarchical porous activated carbon, and the electrochemical properties of the electrode material were explored. The important process variables of carbonization, the weight ratios of the coconut shell/KOH, the amount of source dopant, and the carbonization temperature were investigated in order to reveal the influence of the as-obtained microporous/mesoporous/macroporous hierarchical porous carbon materials on the powder properties. Using a BET specific surface area analyzer, Raman analysis, XPS and SEM, surface morphology, pore distribution and specific surface area of the hierarchical porous carbon materials are discussed. The results show that the as-prepared N-, S- and O-heteroatom-co-doped activated carbon electrode was manufactured at 700 °C for electrochemical characteristics. The electrochemical behavior has the characteristics of pseudo-capacitance, and could reach 186 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 when measured by the galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) test. After 7000 cycles of the charge-discharge test, the initial capacitance value retention rate was 95.6%. It is predicted that capacitor materials made when using coconut shell as a carbon source will have better energy storage performance than traditional carbon supercapacitors.

Abstract
Fungal keratitis is a severe infectious corneal disease with a high rate of incidence and blindness. Since traditional treatments natamycin (NATA) eye drops, exhibit poor dissolution and bioavailability, and the efficacy of current therapeutic approaches remains limited. In this study, we innovatively utilized mesoporous carbon (Meso-C) and microporous carbon (Micro-C) as nanocarriers loaded with the antifungal drug NATA and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). Porous carbon loaded with NATA and Ag-NPs has not previously been studied in fungal keratitis. Due to the mesoporous structure, high surface area and larger pore volume of Meso-C, it displayed greater superiority in sustained drug release and drug dispersity than Micro-C. Moreover, Meso-C could adsorb inflammatory cytokines during fungal infection. In vitro, Meso-C/NATA/Ag showed excellent antifungal effects. In vivo, compared with pure NATA treatment, Meso-C/NATA/Ag exhibited significantly improved therapeutic effects and reduced dosing frequency when treating fungal keratitis. Our study is the first to report the sustained drug release and improved drug dispersity of Meso-C/NATA and demonstrates that NATA and Ag-NPs-loaded Meso-C has therapeutic effects against fungal keratitis.

Abstract
Alginate is an excellent biodegradable and renewable material that is already used for a broad range of industrial applications, including advanced fields, such as biomedicine and bioengineering, due to its excellent biodegradable and biocompatible properties. This biopolymer can be produced from brown algae or a microorganism culture. This review presents the principles, chemical structures, gelation properties, chemical interactions, production, sterilization, purification, types, and alginate-based hydrogels developed so far. We present all of the advanced strategies used to remarkably enhance this biopolymer's physicochemical and biological characteristics in various forms, such as injectable gels, fibers, films, hydrogels, and scaffolds. Thus, we present here all of the material engineering enhancement approaches achieved so far in this biopolymer in terms of mechanical reinforcement, thermal and electrical performance, wettability, water sorption and diffusion, antimicrobial activity, in vivo and in vitro biological behavior, including toxicity, cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, immunological response, biodegradation, porosity, and its use as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. These improvements to overcome the drawbacks of the alginate biopolymer could exponentially increase the significant number of alginate applications that go from the paper industry to the bioprinting of organs.

Abstract
The research on low-cost, high-performance non platinum group metal (PGM) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is of great significance for the rapid promotion of fuel cells' practical applications. In this work, Mn-N-C catalyst with outstanding activity was prepared through using hydrogel formed by coordination of sodium alginate (SA) and Mn2+as the precursor. During the preparation process, g-C3N4was added to improve the surface area enrich the pore structure of catalysts, as well as to function as the nitrogen source. Compare with commercial Pt/C catalyst, the optimum Mn-N-C catalyst possesses extraordinary ORR activity in alkaline electrolytes, with a half-wave potential (E1/2) of 0.90 V. In addition, the Mn-N-C catalyst also displays exceptional stability in alkaline and acidic electrolytes, much superior to Pt/C catalyst.

Abstract
In this study, a novel nano-La(OH)3/porous carbon composites derived from La alginate xerogel with egg-box structure had been successfully synthesized by a gradient heat treatment in nitrogen atmosphere. This facile fabrication strategy can be easily employed to considerably encapsulate La(OH)3 nanoparticles uniformly into the porous carbon matrix derived from the alginate macromolecule framework. The optimized sample, labeled as LS-550(N), exhibited extremely high phosphate uptake and great selectivity. The adsorption kinetic process dramatically followed pseudo-second-order model. The Langmuir model fitted maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity is 133.58 mg·g-1. The phosphate adsorption mechanisms could be consist of electrostatic interaction, complexation and ligand exchange interaction on the surface of LS-550(N). The prominent practical applicability of LS-550(N) in the regeneration test suggests that the LS-550(N) could be a potential adsorption candidate for the decontamination of phosphate-containing natural water bodies.

Abstract
Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an efficiency-determining process at the cathode in several energy storage and conversion devices, typically such as metal-air batteries and fuel cells. To date, a considerable amount of ORR electrocatalysts have been purposely exploited to address the key issues of high overpotentials and sluggish electrochemical kinetics. Electrospinning is a popular additive manufacturing technology, enabling the production of one-dimensional (1D) electrocatalysts with outstanding chemical stability and structural diversity. However, compared with the well-studied composite/structural design as well as performance advancement, insights into structure-activity relationship are yet to be settled. To clarify this key issue, herein, a dedicated review on the structure-activity relationship between the 1D architectures of electrospun electrocatalysts and their catalytic ORR property is presented. First, the development and principles of electrospinning technique, the composition regulation- and structure design-oriented fundamentals are summarized by imputing the perspectives of mechanistic understanding. Then, the typical examples of nanofiber-shaped and nanofiber-supported electrocatalysts with different compositions and structures for ORR are implemented to establish different structure-activity relationship by comparative studies. Finally, we also identify some ongoing challenges and present future perspectives to direct the precise manipulation of structure-activity relationship for further activation and optimization of electrospun 1D electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key reaction for many electrochemical devices. To date, many OER electrocatalysts function well in alkaline media, but exhibit poor performances in neutral and acidic media, especially the acidic stability. Herein, sodium-decorated amorphous/crystalline RuO2 with rich oxygen vacancies (a/c-RuO2 ) was developed as a pH-universal OER electrocatalyst. The a/c-RuO2 shows remarkable resistance to acid corrosion and oxidation during OER, which leads to an extremely high catalytic stability, as confirmed by a negligible overpotential increase after continuously catalyzing OER for 60 h at pH=1. Besides, a/c-RuO2 also exhibits superior OER activities to commercial RuO2 and most reported OER catalysts under all pH conditions. Theoretical calculations indicated that the introduction of Na dopant and oxygen vacancy in RuO2 weakens the adsorption strength of the OER intermediates by engineering the d-band center, thereby lowering the energy barrier for OER.

Abstract
Ru nanoparticles (NPs) and single atoms (SAs)-based materials have been investigated as alternative electrocatalysts to Pt/C for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Exploring the dominant role of atomic- and nano-ruthenium as active sites in acidic and alkaline media is very necessary for optimizing the performance. Herein, an electrocatalyst containing both Ru SAs and NPs anchored on defective carbon (RuSA+NP /DC) has been synthesized via a Ru-alginate metal-organic supramolecules conversion method. RuSA+NP /DC exhibits low overpotentials of 16.6 and 18.8 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in acidic and alkaline electrolytes, respectively. Notably, its mass activities are dramatically improved, which are about 1.1 and 2.4 times those of Pt/C at an overpotential of 50 mV in acidic and alkaline media, respectively. Theoretical calculations reveal that Ru SAs own the most appropriate H* adsorption strength and thus, plays a dominant role for HER in acid electrolyte, while Ru NPs facilitate the dissociation of H2 O that is the rate-determining step in alkaline electrolyte, leading to a remarkable HER activity.

Abstract
We report CoFe2O4 and carbon nanotubes hybrid aerogels as a novel anode material for potassium ion batteries (KIBs). The synthetic route take the advantage of marine biobased materials as the precursor and facilely produce large-scale production of hybrid CoFe2O4 and carbon nanotubes aerogels as the advanced anode. The hybrid aerogels deliver a remarkable capacity of 180 mAh g-1 with high stability over 200 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g-1. The high rate charge/discharge reveals a relatively high capacity of 83 mAh g-1 even at the current density of 1.0 A g-1. In-situ XRD investigations reveal the phase evolution during charge/discharge, demonstrating the high stability of hybrid aerogels for the potassium intercalation/extraction. The high specific surface area and large numbers of mesopores with more active sites can benefit the effective transmission of electrons and K ions, leading to an improved specific capacity and cycle stability.

Abstract
At present, the world is at the peak of production of traditional fossil fuels. Much of the resources that humanity has been consuming (oil, coal, and natural gas) are coming to an end. The human being faces a future that must necessarily go through a paradigm shift, which includes a progressive movement towards increasingly less polluting and energetically viable resources. In this sense, nanotechnology has a transcendental role in this change. For decades, new materials capable of being used in energy processes have been synthesized, which undoubtedly will be the cornerstone of the future development of the planet. In this review, we report on the current progress in the synthesis and use of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials (specifically nanowires, nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanorods), with compositions based on oxides, nitrides, or metals, for applications related to energy. Due to its extraordinary surface-volume relationship, tunable thermal and transport properties, and its high surface area, these 1D nanostructures have become fundamental elements for the development of energy processes. The most relevant 1D nanomaterials, their different synthesis procedures, and useful methods for assembling 1D nanostructures in functional devices will be presented. Applications in relevant topics such as optoelectronic and photochemical devices, hydrogen production, or energy storage, among others, will be discussed. The present review concludes with a forecast on the directions towards which future research could be directed on this class of nanostructured materials.

Abstract
Carbonaceous materials are promising electrode materials for enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) due to their excellent electrical conductivity, chemical and physical stability and biocompatibility. Design and preparation of carbon materials with a hollow structure and a rough surface are of great significance for immobilization of enzymes both inside and outside the carbon materials for EBFC applications. We report herein the synthesis of novel carbonaceous materials consisting of bamboo-shaped hollow N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) and C3N4 nanosheets (denoted as N-CNTs@C3N4) as electrode materials for dual-capture of enzymes in glucose/O2 EBFCs. The combination of one-dimensional N-CNTs with an open structure and two-dimensional C3N4 nanosheets forms a three-dimensional crosslinking network that significantly enhances the immobilization of enzymes, electrode stability, and mass transfer of substrates, thus boosting the EBFC performance. As a result, EBFCs equipped with N-CNTs@C3N4 can generate a high open circuit potential of 0.93 V and output a maximum power density of 0.57 mW cm-2 at 0.47 V. Additionally, the as-fabricated glucose/O2 EBFCs are capable of directly harvesting energy from various soft drinks, which indicates the promising applications of the N-CNTs@C3N4 nanocomposite as an electrode material for EBFCs.

Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon precursor is a well-established and researched material for electrodes in energy storage applications due to its good physical properties and excellent electrochemical performance. However, in the fight of preserving the environment and pioneering renewable energy sources, environmentally sustainable carbon precursors with superior electrochemical performance are needed. Therefore, bio-based materials are excellent candidates to replace PAN as a carbon precursor. Depending on the design requirement (e.g. carbon morphology, doping level, specific surface area, pore size and volume, and electrochemical performance), the appropriate selection of carbon precursors can be made from a variety of biomass and biowaste materials. This review provides a summary and discussion on the preparation and characterization of the emerging and recent bio-based carbon precursors that can be used as electrodes in energy storage applications. The review is outlined based on the morphology of nanostructures and the precursor's type. Furthermore, the review discusses and summarizes the excellent electrochemical performance of these recent carbon precursors in storage energy applications. Finally, a summary and outlook are also given. All this together portrays the promising role of bio-based carbon electrodes in energy storage applications.

Abstract
Fire hazards and infectious diseases result in great threats to public safety and human health, thus developing multi-functional materials to deal with these issues is critical and yet has remained challenging to date. In this work, we report a facile and eco-friendly synthetic approach for the preparation of calcium alginate/silver chloride (CA/AgCl) nanocomposites with dual functions of excellent flame-retardant and antibacterial activity. Multi characterization techniques and antibacterial assays were performed to investigate the flame-retardant and antibacterial properties of the CA/AgCl nanocomposites. The obtained results show that the CA/AgCl nanocomposites exhibited much higher limiting oxygen index value (> 60%) than that of CA (48%) with a UL-94 rating of V-0. Moreover, CA/AgCl particularly displayed an efficiently smoke-suppressive feature by achieving a total smoke release value of 2.7 m2/m2, which was reduced by 91%, compared to CA. The antibacterial rates of the CA/AgCl nanocomposites against E. coli and S. aureus were measured to be 99.67% and 99.77%, respectively, while CA showed quite weak antibacterial rates. In addition, the flame-retardant and antibacterial mechanisms were analyzed and proposed based on the experimental data. This study provides a novel nanocomposite material with both flame-retardant and antibacterial properties which show promising application prospects in the fields of decorative materials and textile industry.

Abstract
This review summarizes and broadly classifies all of the major sustainable natural carbohydrate bio-macromolecular manifestations in nature - from botanical (cellulose, starch, and pectin), seaweed (alginate, carrageenan, and agar), microbial (bacterial cellulose, dextran, and pullulan), and animal (hyaluronan, heparin, chitin, and chitosan) sources - that have been contrived into electrospun fibers. Furthermore, a relative study of these biomaterials for the fabrication of nanofibers by electrospinning and their characteristics viz. solution behavior, blending nature, as well as rheological and fiber attributes are discussed. The potential multidimensional applications of nanofibers (filtration, antimicrobial, biosensor, gas sensor, energy storage, catalytic, and tissue engineering) originating from these polysaccharides and their major impacts on the properties, functionalities, and uses of these electrospun fibers are compared and critically examined.

Abstract
The multistage reclamation of materials has made contributions to sustainable development, but further progress is still sought after. In this work, functionalized seaweed-based composites were successfully prepared and utilized in multiple stages. Specifically, Co2+-containing alginate hydrogels (CHB-Co2+) prepared by sol-gel self-assembly and adsorption method using interior/exterior co-functionalized calcium alginate as raw materials were utilized for efficient reduction of p-nitrophenol. After coupling with freeze-drying and carbonization procedures, a high-performance Co/N co-doped carbonaceous microwave absorber was obtained and investigated in detail. By virtue of unique 3D interconnected network, heterogeneous interfaces and doped heteroatom N species, by which endowing the absorber with optimal impedance matching and attenuation ability, as-fabricated NC-Co-700 exhibited prominent microwave absorption performance with -54.2 dB of RLmin at 6.4 GHz and 5.3 GHz of maximum absorption bandwidth (from 12.7 to 18.0 GHz). Additionally, in view of the dielectric loss and magnetic loss caused by the synergy effect among the functional components, the underlying absorption mechanism was proposed. This work provided a novel idea for designing biomass-based functional materials and simultaneously achieved economic benefits through the rational utilization of other products in the preparation process.

Abstract
The fabrication of nitrogen-doped activated carbons (N-ACs) from leather solid wastes (LSW), a huge underutilized bioresource, by different activation methods was investigated. N-AC prepared by KOH activation (named KNAC) exhibited superior physical and chemical properties with much higher BET surface area (2247 m2 g-1) and more abundant hierarchical micropores than those activated by nano-CaCO3 (CNAC) or by direct carbonization (NNAC). KOH activation decreased the total nitrogen content in KNAC, but it increased the ratio of surface nitrogen species. KOH activation also significantly promoted the conversion of nitrogen species in the carbon material to pyridinic N. Potential applications of the prepared N-ACs were evaluated, and they were tested as adsorbents to remove phenols from water and as the anodes of lithium batteries. The high surface area, abundant micropores, and plentiful surface pyridinic N guaranteed KNAC a superior nitrogen-doped activated carbon that could serve as an excellent adsorbent to remove phenols (282 mg/g) from waste water as well as an outstanding electrode material with a high and stable charge/discharge capacity (533.54 mAh g-1 after 150th cycle). The strategy of LSW conversion to versatile N-ACs turns waste into treasure and could promote the sustainable development of our society.

Abstract
Potassium-ion energy-storage devices are highly attractive in the large-scale energy storage field, but the intercalation of large K ions greatly worsens the stability of electrode structures and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) films, causing slow reaction dynamics and poor durability. In this Article, inspired by bubble wraps in our life, a bubble-wrap-like carbon sheet (BPCS) with a rigid-flexible coupling porous architecture is fabricated on the microscale, exhibiting strong structural stability and good accommodation for volume expansion. In the meantime, a K2CO3·1.5H2O-dominated SEI is created by an interfacial transfer behavior of carbonate groups. These K2CO3·1.5H2O nanograins not only enhance the stability of the SEI by constructing a stable scaffold but also create more diffusion routes for K ions. On the basis of the above, using the BPCS as the anode of potassium-ion batteries delivers reversible capacities of 463 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and 195 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 with a long cycling life. The assembled BPCS//NPC potassium-ion hybrid capacitor exhibits a high energy density of 167 Wh kg-1 and a superior cycling capability with 80.8% capacity retention over 10 000 cycles with nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency. Even at the higher current density of 10 A g-1, the device could deliver an energy density of 92.9 Wh kg-1 over 5000 cycles at a power density of 9200 W kg-1 with only 0.002% fading per cycle, which can rival lithium-ion hybrid supercapacitors.

Abstract
The fabrication of nanorattles with controllable compositions and structures is very important for catalytic applications. Herein, we propose a facile method for synthesis of very unique all-metallic nanorattle consisting of a Pt core and a mesoporous PtPd shell (named Pt@mPtPd). Owing to its spatially and locally separated active inner Pt core and mesoporous PtPd shell, the Pt@mPtPd nanorattle shows the enhanced performance for oxygen reduction reaction. The newly designed Pt@mPtPd nanorattle is quite different from traditional nanorattles with porous carbon and silica shell in its catalytically functional mesoporous metallic shell. The proposed facile method is highly valuable for the design of all-metallic nanorattle with controllable compositions and desired functions.

Abstract
A scalable fabrication of 3D hierarchical porous carbon structure (3D-HPC) has been achieved via a simple sonochemical route at different pyrolysis temperatures. It is worth noting that all the 3D-HPC samples possess oxygen-functional groups after activation by KOH and self-doped by nitrogen, which are beneficial to improving their surface wettability as well as increasing the electro-active surface area between the electrode and the surrounding electrolyte, consequently enhancing their electrochemical performance. Remarkably, the resulting carbon sample pyrolyzed at 850 °C (AC-850) possesses a maximum doping level of 2.75 at% and a high surface area of 1376.19 m2 g-1, which exhibits high electrochemical performance with high capacitance up to 269.19 F g-1 at a current density of 2 A g-1. Moreover remarkably, the AC-850-based symmetric supercapacitor delivers a high energy density of 21.4 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 531.2 W kg-1 with excellent rate performance and superior cycling stability (94.7% retention over 5000 cycles). The present approach is very suitable for large scale production of high-quality porous carbon materials at low cost, which can be used in different aspects, such as energy storage, gas storage, environmental remediation, and so on.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum causes a disease in chickens known as fowl typhoid. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) has been shown to be crucial in eliminating salmonellosis infection because of its strong association with T-cell responses. This study was undertaken to compare the expression of IFN-γ in chickens generated by different vaccine formulations. Eighty one-day-old Lohmann layer chicks were divided into four groups of 20 birds each for the experiment. This comprised an unvaccinated negative control group (NEG), a group vaccinated with the live 9R vaccine by the injection route (SC), a group vaccinated with alginate-coated chitosan microparticles encapsulating live plasmid-cured S. Gallinarum strain 9 (PC) by the oral route, and a group vaccinated with a weak attenuated live S. Gallinarum strain 9 encapsulated in alginate-coated chitosan microparticles (VM) given orally. Vaccinations were done at 10 and 14 weeks of age followed by challenge at 16 weeks of age. IgG was measured using ELISA. qRT-PCR was used to compare the mRNA fold expression of IFN-γ in the PC, VM and SC groups using the unvaccinated/unchallenged group as the control. There were significant differences in the IgG levels between each vaccinated group and the unvaccinated group (P < 0.05) after booster vaccination and post-challenge. There was 100% protection of the birds in SC and VM groups, 80% protection in PC group and 0% protection in the NEG group. Using 2-ΔΔCT calculation, IFN-γ was more highly expressed in the PC group than in the SC group or VM group. In conclusion, the IFN-γ was more highly expressed in the PC group (though not significantly higher) compared to the SC and VM groups and this could be attributed to the alginate-coated chitosan microparticles which acted as an adjuvant.

Abstract
The polar surface of (001) wurtzite-structured MnO possesses substantial electrostatic instabilities that facilitate a wurtzite to graphene-like sheet transformation during the lithiation/delithiation process when used in battery technologies. This transformation results in cycle instability and loss of cell efficiency. In this work, we synthesized MnO hexagonal sheets (HSs) possessing abundant oxygen vacancy defects (MnO-Vo HSs) by pyrolyzing and reducing MnCO3 HSs under an atmosphere of Ar/H2. The oxygen vacancies (Vos) were generated in the reduction process and have been characterized using a range of techniques: X-ray absorption fine structure, electron-spin resonance, X-ray absorption near edge structure, Artemis modeling, and R space Feff modeling. The data arising from these analyses inform us that the introduction of one Vo defect within each O atom layer can reduce the charge density by 3.2 × 10-19 C, balancing the internal nonzero dipole moment and rendering the wurtzite structure more stable, so inhibiting the change to a graphene-like structure. Density function theory calculations demonstrate that the incorporation of Vos sites significantly improves the charge accumulation around Li atoms and increases Li+ adsorption energies (-2.720 eV). When used as an anode material for lithium ion batteries, the MnO-Vo HSs exhibit high specific capacity (1228.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and excellent cell cycling stabilities (∼88.1% capacity retention after 1000 continuous charge/discharge cycles at 1.0 A g-1).

Abstract
Hybridization of nanostructured cobalt oxides with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is considered to be an operative approach to harvest high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). On the other hand, there are numerous related works, most of which adopted a "post-combination" strategy, which is not only complicated but also ecologically unpromising for using toxic acid for surface modification of CNTs. Herein, we productively fabricate Co@Co3O4/CNTs nanocomposite with excellent conductivity through arc discharge following low-temperature oxidation in air. As the anode material for LIBs, this nanocomposite shows an exceedingly high reversible capacity of 820 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 after 250 cycles, much higher than its theoretical capacity. The rate performance of the material is also outstanding, with a capacity of 760 mA h g-1 after 350 cycles at 1 A g-1 (103% of the initial capacity) and 529 mA h g-1 after 600 cycles at 2 A g-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests are accomplished to disclose the true cause of extra capacity. And for the first time, we propose an "electron-sharing" storage mode, where extra electrons and Li+ can separate and be stored at the interface of cobalt metal/Li2O. This not only gives a reasonable revelation for this unusual capacity exceeding the theoretical value but also directs the capacitor-like electrochemical behavior extra capacity.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) with high theoretical specific capacity and superior electrochemical performance are promising anode material candidates for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the structural pulverization because of the severe volume change in the discharge/charge process leads to a severe capacity decay, limited rate performance, and poor cycling stability, which inhibits their practical application. Herein, we report a novel strategy for the synthesis of TMS hollow nanoparticles@carbon fibers (TMS-HNP@CFs- T) by using seaweed-derived alginate as the template and precursor. When evaluated as anode materials for SIBs, the hybrids display excellent sodium storage performance. For instance, CoS-HNP@CFs-900 exhibits high reversible specific capacity, significant cycling stability (392.2 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 over 100 cycles), and rate performance (334.2 mA h g-1 can be achieved at 5000 mA g-1). The hollow TMP NPs and conductive carbon fibers could synergistically reduce the expansion of volume and shorten the ion transport path to boost the sodium storage performance.
