Abstract
Electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies involving controlled catalysis provide a sustainable way to handle the intermittency of renewable energy sources, as well as to produce green chemicals/fuels in an ecofriendly manner. Core to such technology is the development of efficient electrocatalysts with high activity, selectivity, long-term stability, and low costs. Here, two-dimensional (2D) carbonaceous materials have emerged as promising contenders for advancing the chemistry in electrocatalysis. We review the emerging 2D carbonaceous materials for electrocatalysis, focusing primarily on the fine engineering of active structures through thermal condensation, where the design, fabrication, and mechanism investigations over different types of active moieties are summarized. Interestingly, all the recipes creating two-dimensionality on the carbon products also give specific electrocatalytic functionality, where the special mechanisms favoring 2D growth and their consequences on materials functionality are analyzed. Particularly, the structure-activity relationship between specific heteroatoms/defects and catalytic performance within 2D metal-free electrocatalysts is highlighted. Further, major challenges and opportunities for the practical implementation of 2D carbonaceous materials in electrocatalysis are summarized with the purpose to give future material design guidelines for attaining desirable catalytic structures.

Abstract
Air pollution is on the priority list of global safety issues, with the concern of fatal environmental and public health deterioration. 2D materials are potential adsorbent materials for environmental decontamination, owing to their high surface area, manageable interlayer binding, large surface-to-volume ratio, specific binding capability, and chemical, thermal, and mechanistic stability. Specifically, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide have been attracting attention, taking advantage of their low cost synthesis, excessive oxygen containing surface functionalities, and intrinsic aqueous dispersibility, making them desirable for the development of cost-effective, high performance air filters. Many different material designs have been proposed to expand their filtration capability, including the functionalization and integration with other metals and metal oxides, which act not only as binding agents to the target pollutants but also as antimicrobial agents. This review highlights the advantages and drawbacks of 2D materials for air filtration and summarizes the interrelationships among various strategies and the resultant filtration performance in terms of structural engineering, morphology control, and material compositions. Finally, potential future directions are suggested toward the idealized designs of 2D material based air filters.

Abstract
Freestanding carbon-based electrodes with large surface areas and pore volumes are essential to fast ion transport and long-term energy storage. Many of the current porous carbon substrates are composed of particulates, making it difficult to form a self-supported structure. Herein, novel highly porous nitrogen-doped graphene fiber webs (N-GFWs) are prepared using a facile wet-spinning method. The wet chemical process facilitates simultaneous N-doping and surface wrinkling of graphene fibers in a one-pot process. The atomic structure and electrical conductivity of N-GFWs are tailored by tuning the degree of N-doping and thermal reduction for multi-battery charge storage in both lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) and lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). The N-GFW900 electrode presents an excellent electrocatalytic activity and the cathode with a high areal loading of 7.5 mg cm-2 delivers a remarkable areal capacity of 2 mA h cm-2 at 0.2 mA cm-2 for LOBs. The N-GFW700 interlayer with abundant oxygenated and nitrogen functional groups demonstrates effective entrapment of polysulfides in LSBs, delivering a much improved specific capacity after 200 cycles at 0.5C with a remarkable decay rate of 0.04%. The current approach paves the way for rational design of porous graphene-based electrodes, satisfying multifunctional requirements for high-energy storage applications.

Abstract
The elastic anisotropy and thermodynamic properties of the recently synthesized Pnnm-CN have been investigated using first-principles calculations under high temperature and high pressure. The calculated equilibrium crystal parameters and normalized volume dependence of the resulting pressure agree with available experimental and theoretical results. Within the considered pressure range of 0-90 GPa, the dependences of the bulk modulus, Young's modulus, and shear modulus on the crystal orientation for Pnnm-CN have been systematically studied. The results show that the Pnnm-CN exhibits a well-pronounced elastic anisotropy. The incompressibility is largest along the c-axis. For tension or compression loading, the Pnnm-CN is stiffest along [001] and the most obedient along [100] direction. On the basis of the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we have explored the Debye temperature, heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, and Grüneisen parameters within the pressure range of 0-90 GPa and temperature range of 0-1600K.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThe composition and properties of the sp2-bonded carbon nitride precursor paracyanogen (pCN) has been studied at high pressures and temperatures. Paracyanogen decomposes to carbon and molecular nitrogen with the decomposition temperature increasing with pressure over the range of 3 to 19 GPa. Prior to decomposition, pCN can be transformed to an atmospheric-pressure quenchable phase that is more than 25% higher in density and over an order of magnitude harder than the starting material. Structural analysis of this quenchable phase shows, however, that it consists of a sp2-bonded network. In addition, the decomposition kinetics of paracyanogen have been studied in detail. Rapid, self-propagating decomposition occurs above a threshold temperature. Below this, decomposition rates exhibit an Arrhenius behavior with activation energy and volume of 2.7 eV and 3.9 Å3, respectively The decomposition rates depend on the nitrogen density and decrease significantly with lower nitrogen concentration. Kinetic effects favoring a graphite-like, sp2-bonded structure may preclude the high-pressure synthesis of superhard, sp3-bonded carbon nitride solids below their thermodynamic stability limit, unless an optimally designed precursor is employed.

Abstract
Besides temperature at one atmosphere, the applied pressure is another important parameter for influencing and controlling reaction pathways and final reaction products. This is relevant not only for the genesis of natural minerals, but also for synthetic chemical products and technological materials. The present critical review (316 references) highlights recent developments that utilise high pressures and high-temperatures for the synthesis of new materials with unique properties, such as high hardness, or interesting magnetic or optoelectronic features. Novel metal nitrides, oxonitrides as well as the new class of nitride-diazenide compounds, all formed under high-pressure conditions, are highlighted. Pure oxides and carbides are not considered here. Moreover, syntheses under high-pressure conditions require special equipment and preparation techniques, completely different from those used for conventional synthetic approaches at ambient pressure. Therefore, we also summarize the high-pressure techniques used for the synthesis of new materials on a laboratory scale. In particular, our attention is focused on reactive gas pressure devices with pressures between 1.2 and 600 MPa, multi-anvil apparatus at P < 25 GPa and the diamond anvil cell, which allows work at pressures of 100 GPa and higher. For example, some of these techniques have been successfully upgraded to an industrial scale for the synthesis of diamond and cubic boron nitride.
