Abstract
The covalent functionalization of graphene for enhancing their stability, improving their electrical or optical properties, or creating hybrid structures has continued to attract extensive attention; however, a fine control of nanoparticle (NP) size between graphene layers via covalent-bridging chemistry has not yet been explored. Herein, precision covalent chemistry-assisted sandwiching of ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (US-AuNP) between graphene layers is described for the first time. Covalently interconnected graphene (CIG) nanoscaffolds with a preadjusted finely tuned graphene layer-layer distance facilitated the formation of sandwiched US-AuNPs (∼1.94 ± 0.20 nm, 422 AuNPs). The elemental composition analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy displayed an aniline group addition per ∼55 graphene carbon atoms. It provided information on covalent interconnection via amidic linkages, while Raman spectroscopy offered evidence of covalent surface functionalization and the number of graphene layers (≤2-3 layers). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images indicated a layer-layer distance of 2.04 nm, and low-angle X-ray diffraction peaks (2θ at 24.8 and 12.5°) supported a layer-layer distance increase compared to the characteristic (002) reflection (2θ at 26.5°). Combining covalent bridging with NP synthesis may provide precise control over the metal/metal oxide NP size and arrangement between 2D layered materials, unlocking new possibilities for advanced applications in energy storage, electrochemical shielding, and membranes.

Abstract
Sub-1 nm pores can lead to an anomalous increase in the supercapacitive performance [1], but it still faces great challenges from its relatively low sub-1 nm pore content, complicated preparation process, low yield and high cost. Here we successfully prepared a sub-1 nm pore-rich carbon from biomass wastes using a facile method by pre-treating walnut shell powder at 380 ℃ in air for different times to delicately tailor carbon defects, followed by KOH activation at 700 ℃. The as-prepared optimal material delivers the highest sub-1 nm pore content (Vsub-1 nm = 0.57 cm3 g-1, Vsub-1 nm/Vt = 58.4 %) among all reported porous carbons. A supercapacitor made from the material accomplishes an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 298.7F g-1 at 1 A g-1 in a two-electrode device, excellent rate capability (78.8 % retention from 1 to 10 A g-1) and long-cyclic life (94 % retention after 10,000 cycles at 10 A g-1) in KOH. Even in Et4NBF4 electrolyte that is often used in commercial supercapacitors, a high energy density of 82.8 Wh kg-1 at 7 kW kg-1 and excellent cycling performance (90 % retention after 10,000 cycles at 5 A g-1) can be achieved, ranking the best among all reported carbon-based electrical double layer capacitors tested in the same electrolyte. More importantly, it drives a light-emitting-diode (LED) to operate for as long as 20 min, vividly demonstrating the great potential of sub-1 nm pore-rich carbon-based high performance supercapacitors in practical applications.

Abstract
A holey carbon material with ordered sub-nanometer hole defects was synthesized from oxidative cyclodehydrogenation of a polyhexaphenylbenzene precursor. Band gap of around 2.2 eV is formed due to the narrow connection between the hexabenzocoronene subunits. It has weak interlayer interaction energy compared with graphene and shows easy dispersion in a wide range of solvents, surprisingly including water. Density functional theory calculations confirmd the excellent dispersion of this material in water. This new carbon material was then proved as effective support for various inorganic nanoparticles of small sizes. The supported iron nanoparticles showed enzyme-like catalysis behavior in nitrophenyl reduction reaction by NaBH4, exemplifying the great potential of this new material in catalysis.

Abstract
Recently, graphene-based materials have become ubiquitous in electrochemical devices including electrochemical sensors, electrocatalysts, capacitive and membrane desalination and energy storage devices. However, many of the electrochemical properties of graphene (particularly the capacitance and ionic transport) are not yet fully understood. This paper explores the capacitance and ionic transport properties of size dependent graphene (from 100 nm to 1 μm) prepared through the liquid phase exfoliation of graphite in which the size of graphene was finely selected using a multi-step centrifugation technique. Our experiment was then expanded to include basal plane graphene using highly ordered pyrolytic graphite as a model electrode, describing the assumed theoretical graphene capacitance (quoted as 550 F g-1 or 21 μF cm-2) and the electrochemical surface area of the carbon-based materials. This work improves our understanding of graphene electrochemistry (capacitance and ion transport), which should lead to the continuing development of many high-performance electrochemical devices, especially supercapacitors, capacitive desalination and ion-based selective membranes.

Abstract
To get carbon electrode with both excellent gravimetric and volumetric capacitances at high mass loadings is critical to supercapacitors. Herein, cracked defective graphene nanospheres (GNS) well meet above requirements. The morphology and structure of the GNS are controlled by polystyrene sphere template/glucose ratio, microwave heating time, and Fe content. The typical GNS with specific surface area of 2794 m2 g-1 , pore volume of 1.48 cm3 g-1 , and packing density of 0.74 g cm-3 performs high gravimetric and volumetric capacitances of 529 F g-1 and 392 F cm-3 at 1A g-1 with a capacitance retention of 62.5% at 100 A g-1 in a three-electrode system in 6 mol L-1 KOH aqueous electrolyte. In a two-electrode system, the GNS possesses energy density of 18.6 Wh kg-1 (13.8 Wh L-1 ) at the power density of 504 W kg-1 , which is higher than all reported pure carbon materials in gravimetric energy density and higher than all reported heteroatom-doped carbon materials in volumetric energy density, in aqueous solution, as far as it is known. A structural feature of carbon materials that possess both high energy density and high power density is pointed out here.

Abstract
Monoatomic nanosheets can form 2-dimensional channels with tunable chemical properties, for ion storage and filtering applications. Here, we demonstrate transport of K+, Na+, and Li+ cations and F- and Cl- anions on the centimeter scale in graphene oxide membranes (GOMs), triggered by an electric bias. Besides ion transport, the GOM channels foster also the aggregation of the selected ions in salt crystals, whose composition is not the same as that of the pristine salt present in solution, highlighting the difference between the chemical environment in the 2D channels and in bulk solutions.

Abstract
The combination of exceptional functionalities offered by 3D graphene-based macrostructures (GBMs) has attracted tremendous interest. 2D graphene nanosheets have a high chemical stability, high surface area and customizable porosity, which was extensively researched for a variety of applications including CO2 adsorption, water treatment, batteries, sensors, catalysis, etc. Recently, 3D GBMs have been successfully achieved through few approaches, including direct and non-direct self-assembly methods. In this review, the possible routes used to prepare both 2D graphene and interconnected 3D GBMs are described and analyzed regarding the involved chemistry of each 2D/3D graphene system. Improvement of the accessible surface of 3D GBMs where the interface exchanges are occurring is of great importance. A better control of the chemical mechanisms involved in the self-assembly mechanism itself at the nanometer scale is certainly the key for a future research breakthrough regarding 3D GBMs.

Abstract
Graphene is the prototype of two-dimensional (2D) materials, whose main feature is the extremely large surface-to-mass ratio. This property is interesting for a series of applications that involve interactions between particles and surfaces, such as, for instance, gas, fluid or charge storage, catalysis, and filtering. However, for most of these, a volumetric extension is needed, while preserving the large exposed surface. This proved to be rather a hard task, especially when specific structural features are also required (e.g., porosity or density given). Here we review the recent experimental realizations and theoretical/simulation studies of 3D materials based on graphene. Two main synthesis routes area available, both of which currently use (reduced) graphene oxide flakes as precursors. The first involves mixing and interlacing the flakes through various treatments (suspension, dehydration, reduction, activation, and others), leading to disordered nanoporous materials whose structure can be characterized a posteriori, but is difficult to control. With the aim of achieving a better control, a second path involves the functionalization of the flakes with pillars molecules, bringing a new class of materials with structure partially controlled by the size, shape, and chemical-physical properties of the pillars. We finally outline the first steps on a possible third road, which involves the construction of pillared multi-layers using epitaxial regularly nano-patterned graphene as precursor. While presenting a number of further difficulties, in principle this strategy would allow a complete control on the structural characteristics of the final 3D architecture.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) pillared with tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (TKAM) molecules shows a narrow distribution of pore size, relatively high specific surface area, but it is hydrophilic and electrically not conductive. Analysis of XRD, N2 sorption, XPS, TGA and FTIR data proved that the pillared structure and relatively high surface area (∼350 m2 g−1) are preserved even after thermal reduction of GO pillared with TKAM molecules. Unlike many other organic pillaring molecules, TKAM is stable at temperatures above the point of GO thermal reduction, as demonstrated by TGA. Therefore, gentle annealing results in the formation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) pillared with TKAM molecules. The TKAM pillared reduced graphene oxide (PrGO/TKAM) is less hydrophilic as found using dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) and more electrically conductive compared to pillared GO, but preserves an increased interlayer-distance of about 12 Å (compared to ∼7.5 Å in pristine GO). Thus we provide one of the first examples of porous rGO pillared with organic molecules and well-defined size of hydrophobic slit pores. Analysis of pore size distribution using nitrogen sorption isotherms demonstrates a single peak for pore size of ∼7 Å, which makes PrGO/TKAM rather promising for membrane and molecular sieve applications. The porous structure of tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)methane (TKAM)-pillared graphene oxide preserves after thermal reduction providing rare example of true pillared reduced GO material with precise slit pore size and sizable surface area.![]()

Abstract
The structural and electronic properties of molecularly pillared graphene sheets were explored by performing Density Functional based Tight Binding calculations. Several different architectures were generated by varying the density of the pillars, the chemical composition of the organic molecule acting as a pillar and the pillar distribution. Our results show that by changing the pillars density and distribution we can tune the band gap transforming graphene from metallic to semiconducting in a continuous way. In addition, the chemical composition of the pillars affects the band gap in a lesser extent by introducing additional states in the valence or the conduction band and can act as a fine band gap tuning. These unique electronic properties controlled by design, makes Mollecular Pillared Graphene an excellent material for flexible electronics.

Abstract
The development of carbon-based membrane adsorbent materials for water treatment has become a hot topic in recent years. Among them, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising materials because of its large surface area, high aspect ratio, great chemical reactivity, and low cost. In this work, free-standing CNT adsorbents are fabricated from chemically cross-linked single-walled CNTs. We have demonstrated that by controlling the degree of cross-linking, the nanostructure, porous features, and specific surface area of the resulting materials can be tuned, in turn allowing the control of the adsorption capacities and the improvement of the adsorption performance. The cross-linked CNT adsorbents exhibit a notably selective sorption ability and good recyclability for removal of organics and oils from contaminated water.

Abstract
Graphene-based materials are extensively studied as promising candidates for supercapacitors (SCs) owing to the high surface area, electrical conductivity, and mechanical flexibility of graphene. Reduced graphene oxide (RGO), a close graphene-like material studied for SCs, offers limited specific capacitances (100 F·g-1) as the reduced graphene sheets partially restack through π-π interactions. This paper presents pillared graphene materials designed to minimize such graphitic restacking by cross-linking the graphene sheets with a bifunctional pillar molecule. Solid-state NMR, X-ray diffraction, and electrochemical analyses reveal that the synthesized materials possess covalently cross-linked graphene galleries that offer additional sites for ion sorption in SCs. Indeed, high specific capacitances in SCs are observed for the graphene materials synthesized with an optimized number of pillars. Specifically, the straightforward synthesis of a graphene hydrogel containing pillared structures and an interconnected porous network delivered a material with gravimetric capacitances two times greater than that of RGO (200 F·g-1 vs 107 F·g-1) and volumetric capacitances that are nearly four times larger (210 F·cm-3 vs 54 F·cm-3). Additionally, despite the presence of pillars inside the graphene galleries, the optimized materials show efficient ion transport characteristics. This work therefore brings perspectives for the next generation of high-performance SCs.

Abstract
Lamellar activated carbons derived from Konjac sponges (KACs) have been successfully fabricated through a facile KOH activation method. By manipulating the activation temperature and KOH/C ratio, the achieved KACs exhibit ultrahigh specific surface area up to ∼3000 m2/g and hierarchical pore structure with tunable micro/mesopore distribution. Notably, KACs possess plenty of worm-shaped micropores formed by graphene stacking layers with the lateral distance close to size of hydrated electrolyte ions. Owing to optimized pore structure, high graphitization, and extra O/N doping, KACs exhibited much enhanced specific capacitance (253.0 F/g), superior rate ability (77% retention of capacitance at 10 A/g), and remarkable cycling stability (0.4% decay under 5 A/g after 2000 cycles) in the acid electrolyte. The mass production ability of KAC materials and the knowledge of correlation between texture properties and capacitive performance open new opportunities for the application of such novel biomass-derived carbons in supercapacitor devices.

Abstract
From graphene oxide wrapped iron oxide particles with etching/reduction process, high-performance anode and cathode materials of lithium-ion hybrid supercapacitors are obtained in the same process with different etching conditions, which consist of partially etched crumpled graphene (CG) wrapped spiky iron oxide particles (CG@SF) for a battery-type anode, and fully etched CG for a capacitive-type cathode. The CG is formed along the shape of spikily etched particles, resulting in high specific surface area and electrical conductivity, thus the CG-based cathode exhibits remarkable capacitive performance of 210 F g-1 and excellent rate capabilities. The CG@SF can also be ideal anode materials owing to spiky and porous morphology of the particles and tightly attached crumpled graphene onto the spiky particles, which provides structural stability and low contact resistance during repetitive lithiation/delithiation processes. The CG@SF anode shows a particularly high capacitive performance of 1420 mAh g-1 after 270 cycles, continuously increases capacity beyond the 270th cycle, and also maintains a high capacity of 170 mAh g-1 at extremely high speeds of 100 C. The full-cell exhibits a higher energy density up to 121 Wh kg-1 and maintains high energy density of 60.1 Wh kg-1 at 18.0 kW kg-1 . This system could thus be a practical energy storage system to fill the gap between batteries and supercapacitors.

Abstract
A major stumbling block in the development of high energy density graphene-based supercapacitors has been maintaining high ion-accessible surface area combined with high electrode density. Herein, we develop an ionic liquid (IL)-surfactant microemulsion system that is found to facilitate the spontaneous adsorption of IL-filled micelles onto graphene oxide (GO). This adsorption distributes the IL over all available surface area and provides an aqueous formulation that can be slurry cast onto current collectors, leaving behind a dense nanocomposite film of GO/IL/surfactant. By removing the surfactant and reducing the GO through a low-temperature (360 °C) heat treatment, the IL plays a dual role of spacer and electrolyte. We study the effect of IL content and operating temperature on the performance, demonstrating a record high gravimetric capacitance (302 F/g at 1 A/g) for 80 wt % IL composites. At 60 wt % IL, combined high capacitance and bulk density (0.76 g/cm3), yields one of the highest volumetric capacitances (218 F/cm3, at 1 A/g) ever reported for a high-voltage IL-based supercapacitor. While achieving promising rate performance and cycle-life, the approach also eliminates the long and costly electrolyte imbibition step of cell assembly as the electrolyte is cast directly with the electrode material.

Abstract
Popcorn-derived porous carbon flakes have been successfully fabricated from the biomass of maize. Utilizing the "puffing effect", the nubby maize grain turned into materials with an interconnected honeycomb-like porous structure composed of carbon flakes. The following chemical activation method enabled the as-prepared products to possess optimized porous structures for electrochemical energy-storage devices, such as multilayer flake-like structures, ultrahigh specific surface area (SBET: 3301 m2 g-1), and a high content of micropores (microporous surface area of 95%, especially the optimized sub-nanopores with the size of 0.69 nm) that can increase the specific capacitance. The as-obtained sample displayed excellent specific capacitance of 286 F g-1 at 90 A g-1 for supercapacitors. Moreover, the unique porous structure demonstrated an ideal way to improve the volumetric energy density performance. A high energy density of 103 Wh kg-1 or 53 Wh L-1 has been obtained in the case of ionic liquid electrolyte, which is the highest among reported biomass-derived carbon materials and will satisfy the urgent requirements of a primary power source for electric vehicles. This work may prove to be a fast, green, and large-scale synthesis route by using the large nubby granular materials to synthesize applicable porous carbons in energy-storage devices.
