Abstract
The utilization of sustained and green energy is believed to alleviate increasing menace of global environmental concerns and energy dilemma. Interfacial assembly of 2D graphene-derived ion channels (2D-GDICs) with tunable ion/fluid transport behavior enables efficient harvesting of renewable green energy from ubiquitous water, especially for osmotic energy harvesting. In this review, various interfacial assembly strategies for fabricating diverse 2D-GDICs are summarized and their ion transport properties are discussed. This review analyzes how particular structure and charge density/distribution of 2D-GDIC can be modulated to minimize internal resistance of ion/fluid transport and enhance energy conversion efficiency, and highlights stimuli-responsive functions and stability of 2D-GDIC and further examines the possibility of integrating 2D-GDIC with other energy conversion systems. Notably, the presented preparation and applications of 2D-GDIC also inspire and guide other 2D materials to fabricate sophisticated ion channels for targeted applications. Finally, potential challenges in this field is analyzed and a prospect to future developments toward high-performance or large-scale real-word applications is offered.

Abstract
Currently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as viable candidates for enduring electrode materials in nonenzyme glucose sensing. However, given the inherent water susceptibility of MOFs and their complete self-reconstruction during the process of electrochemical oxygen evolution in alkaline conditions, we are motivated to explore the truth of MOFs catalyzing glucose oxidation. In this work, we fabricated a two-dimensional cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) as the electrode material for catalyzing glucose oxidation in alkaline conditions. Our explorations revealed that while the initial glucose catalytic response varied among ZIF-L samples with differing thicknesses, the ultimate steady-state catalytic performance remained largely consistent. This phenomenon arose from the transformation of ZIF-L with distinct thicknesses into CoOOH with uniform morphological and structural characteristics during the glucose catalysis process. And in situ Raman spectroscopy elucidated the sustained equilibrium within the glucose catalytic system, wherein the dynamic interconversion between CoOOH and Co(OH)2 governs the overall process. This study contributes to an enhanced understanding of the glucose catalytic mechanism aspects of nonenzymatic glucose sensor electrode materials, offering insights that serve as inspiration for the development of advanced glucose electrode materials.

Abstract
Asa low-cost carbon-rich resource, coal has been widely used to prepare excellent electrochemical energy-storage carbon materials such as graphene. However, the different structures of carbon source will affect the performance of carbon materials. To explore the feasibility of preparing high-performance graphene from the carbon source affected by tectonic stress in coal, in this paper, series products of coal-based graphene are prepared by tectonically deformed coal (TDC) and normal structural coal (NSC). The structural parameters are characterized by HRTEM, XRD, Raman, and low-temperature CO2 and N2 adsorption, and the electrochemical performance of coal-based graphene lithium battery is tested by galvanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry. The results show that tectonic stress makes the proportion of the medium-long aromatic fringes, preferred orientation degree (POD), and multilayer stacking in TDC aromatic fringes slightly higher than those in NSC. At the same temperature, the relatively large microcrystalline size, the high order degree, and more pore structures make the local molecular oriented (LMO) domain vertical height (d) and graphitization degree (G) of the coal-based graphite microcrystalline structure prepared by TDC better than those of NSC, which indicates that the carbon source in TDC contains more graphitizable carbon structures. This makes the graphene prepared by TDC not only possess perfectly ordered crystal planes but also relatively abundant nanochannels. High lithium-storage capacity and low charge-transfer resistance make the electrochemical performance of graphene prepared by TDC as an anode electrode material for lithium-ion batteries superior to that by NSC.

Abstract
Assembling two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials into laminar membranes with a subnanometer (subnm) interlayer spacing provides a material platform for studying a range of nanoconfinement effects and exploring the technological applications related to the transport of electrons, ions and molecules. However, the strong tendency for 2D nanomaterials to restack to their bulk crystalline-like structure makes it challenging to control their spacing at the subnm scale. It is thus necessary to understand what nanotextures can be formed at the subnm scale and how they can be engineered experimentally. In this work, with dense reduced graphene oxide membranes as a model system, we combine synchrotron-based X-ray scattering and ionic electrosorption analysis to reveal that their subnanometric stacking can result in a hybrid nanostructure of subnm channels and graphitized clusters. We demonstrate that the ratio of these two structural units, their sizes and connectivity can be engineered by stacking kinetics through the reduction temperature to allow the realization of high-performance compact capacitive energy storage. This work highlights the great complexity of subnm stacking of 2D nanomaterials and provides potential methods to engineer their nanotextures at will.

Abstract
Carbon hollow sphere encapsulated Ni3Se4 (Ni3Se4@CHS) nanocrystals are prepared using the Ni-soc-MOF by pyrolysis and further selenization. Ni3Se4@CHS exhibits a capacitance of 1720 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and a capacitance retention of 97% after 6000 cycles at 5 A g-1. Moreover, the asymmetric supercapacitor of Ni3Se4@CHS//AC displays a wide potential window of 1.6 V, an energy density of 45.2 W h kg-1 at a power density of 800 W kg-1, and excellent cycling stability (89% capacitance retention) after 5000 cycles. Overall, this work establishes a significant step to synthesize a new carbon-based material with appreciable capacitance and long cycling durability for potential applications in energy storage and beyond.
