Abstract
An effective approach to producing sophisticated miniaturized and nanoscale materials involves arranging nanomaterials into layered hierarchical frameworks. Nanostructured layered materials are constructed to possess isolated propagation assets, massive surface areas, and envisioned amenities, making them suitable for a variety of established and novel applications. The utilization of various techniques to create nanostructures adorned with metal nanoparticles provides a secure alternative or reinforcement for the existing physicochemical methods. Supported metal nanoparticles are preferred due to their ease of recovery and usage. Researchers have extensively studied the catalytic properties of noble metal nanoparticles using various selective oxidation and hydrogenation procedures. Despite the numerous advantages of metal-based nanoparticles (NPs), their catalytic potential remains incompletely explored. This article examines metal-based nanomaterials that are supported by layers, and provides an analysis of their manufacturing, procedures, and synthesis. This study incorporates both 2D and 3D layered nanomaterials because of their distinctive layered architectures. This review focuses on the most common metal-supported nanocomposites and methodologies used for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes employing layered nanomaterials. The comprehensive examination of biological and ecological cleaning and treatment techniques discussed in this article has paved the way for the exploration of cutting-edge technologies that can contribute to the establishment of a sustainable future.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 679:714-725.

Abstract
Designing rational heterostructures of high-performance electroactive materials on conductive substrates with hierarchical structures is critical for advancing electrochemical energy storage technologies. In this study, a unique spatial structure is fabricated by vertically aligning two-dimensional (2D) structures of Co-ZIF-L on conductive nickel foam (NF) substrate through interruption of ZIF-67 formation. This is followed by an innovative electrochemical synthesis method that disrupts unstable surface coordination bonds in Co-ZIF-L, enabling the in-situ generation of Co(OH)2. The resulting Co(OH)2@ZIF-L/NF binder-free electrodes feature a hierarchical spatial structure and are synthesized in approximately 30 s. These electrodes showcase exceptional area capacity of 3.1 C cm-2 at 1 mA cm-2, attributed to their high specific surface area and layered architecture that promotes electrolyte penetration. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the Co(OH)2@ZIF-L nanostructures have superior electrical conductivity compared to the individual components. Furthermore, a hybrid supercapacitor (HSC) based on Co(OH)2@ZIF-L/NF//AC exhibits an impressive energy density of 42 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 184.7 W kg-1. This research provides new insights into the efficient synthesis of high-performance electroactive materials with unique spatial structures and expands the potential applications of ZIF materials.

Abstract
Bioelectronic implants featuring soft mechanics, excellent biocompatibility, and outstanding electrical performance hold promising potential to revolutionize implantable technology. These biomedical implants can record electrophysiological signals and execute direct therapeutic interventions within internal organs, offering transformative potential in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of various pathological conditions. However, challenges remain in improving excessive impedance at the bioelectronic-tissue interface and thus the efficacy of electrophysiological signaling and intervention. Here, we devise orbit symmetry breaking in MXene (a low-cost scalability, biocompatible, and conductive two dimensionally layered material, which we refer to as OBXene), which exhibits low bioelectronic-tissue impedance, originating from the out-of-plane charge transfer. Furthermore, the Schottky-induced piezoelectricity stemming from the asymmetric orbital configuration of OBXene facilitates interlayered charge transport in the device. We report an OBXene-based cardiac patch applied on the left ventricular epicardium of both rodent and porcine models to enable spatiotemporal epicardium mapping and pacing while coupling the wireless and battery-free operation for long-term real-time recording and closed-loop stimulation.

Abstract
Selecting the right functional linkers and metal centers is crucial for creating multifunctional crystalline coordination polymers, which show promise in energy storage applications. Herein, a new two-dimensional Zn(II)-based CP, named BPHCC-1, has been synthesized using solvothermal methods with 2-amino terephthalic acid (2ATA) and the biomolecule purine as key building blocks. Purine, which is relatively unexplored in CP synthesis, plays a crucial role in the distinct properties of CPs. BPHCC-1, obtained as a stable crystalline solid, was characterized through various analytical techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The material's stability is attributed to extensive hydrogen bonding, π···π interactions, and coordination of the -NH2 group with the Zn(II) center. BPHCC-1 exhibits bright blue luminescence at 435 nm with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 29% in an aqueous dispersion. Furthermore, it demonstrates significant electrochemical energy storage performance, with a specific capacitance of 84 F g-1 at 3 A g-1 and retaining 64% of its original capacitance after 500 cycles. This study introduces a facile approach to designing multifunctional CPs, showcasing BPHCC-1's potential as a luminescent probe and pseudocapacitive supercapacitor. The findings highlight the versatility of BPHCC-1, suggesting broad opportunities for its use across diverse fields.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials are appealing candidates for a wide range of applications, including heterogeneous electrocatalysis and electrochemical energy storage. However, a narrow understanding of the structure-property relationships in these materials hinders the full realization of their potential. Herein, we investigate a family of insoluble perylenediimide (PDI) polymers to interrogate how backbone flexibility affects their thermodynamic and kinetic redox properties. We verify that the polymers generally access the highest percentage of redox-active groups with K+ ions (vs Na+ and Li+) due to its small solvation shell/energy and favorable soft-soft interactions with reduced PDI species. Through cyclic voltammetry, we show that increasing the polymer flexibility does not minimize barriers to ion-insertion processes but rather increases the level of diffusion-limited processes. Further, we propose that the condensation of imides to iminoimides can truncate the imide polymer chain growth for certain diamine monomers, leading to greater polymer solubilization and reduced cycling stability. Together, our results provide insight into how polymer flexibility, ion-electrode interactions, and polymerization side reactions dictate the redox properties of PDI polymers, paving the way for the development of next-generation organic electrode materials.

Abstract
This work presents the impact of cycling in different cationic and anionic aqueous electrolytes on the electrochemical storage performance of the Mn3O4 thin film electrode prepared using the chemical pyrolysis method. Studies on the as-deposited electrode confirmed the formation of Mn3O4 phase. Extensive electrochemical analysis was performed using Na2SO4, NaCl, Li2SO4, K2SO4, and MgSO4 electrolytes to examine the influence of cations and anions on charge storage behaviour. Considerable changes were observed in the specific capacitances owing to different ionic sizes as well as hydrated ionic radius of the electrolyte ions. Accordingly, the electrode unveiled a good performance showing a specific capacitance of around 187 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 in K2SO4 electrolyte. Further, the electrode properties are examined after 500 CV cycles to trace the changes in the structural and morphological properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopic studies illustrate a partial phase transformation of electrodes from Mn3O4 to MnO2 irrespective of the electrolytes. These results are further corroborated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis where there was an increment in the oxidation state of manganese. It has been observed that the surface properties were significantly changed with cycling, as manifested by the wettability studies of the electrodes. The obtained results brings out the significance of electrolyte ions on the charge storage characteristics of Mn3O4 thin film electrodes in light of their possible application in electrochemical capacitors.

Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress in light-material interactions (LMIs), focusing on lasers and flash lights for energy conversion and storage applications. We discuss intricate LMI parameters such as light sources, interaction time, and fluence to elucidate their importance in material processing. In addition, this study covers various light-induced photothermal and photochemical processes ranging from melting, crystallization, and ablation to doping and synthesis, which are essential for developing energy materials and devices. Finally, we present extensive energy conversion and storage applications demonstrated by LMI technologies, including energy harvesters, sensors, capacitors, and batteries. Despite the several challenges associated with LMIs, such as complex mechanisms, and high-degrees of freedom, we believe that substantial contributions and potential for the commercialization of future energy systems can be achieved by advancing optical technologies through comprehensive academic research and multidisciplinary collaborations.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOF's) have gained considerable attention in the field of energy storage and supercapacitors applications. Herein, we synthesized copper oxide (CuO) through the precipitation method and concurrently derived from the solvothermal prepared copper-benzene dicarboxylate (Cu-BDC) by calcination. The integration of MOF-derived nanostructures with traditional CuO to form a hybrid electrode material, has not been extensively explored. The synthesized materials were characterized using x-ray Diffractometry, FTIR, XPS, Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller and morphological analysis was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) affirming the composite's nature. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and cyclic voltammetry were used to evaluate the electrochemical properties of electrode material. With a specific capacitance of 691 Fg-1for CuO obtained from Cu-BDC (benzene dicarboxylic acid) and 236 Fg-1for CuO via the precipitation method, measured at a scan rate of 5 m Vs-1in 6 M KOH was found to be the optimal performance solution for the electrode material. The mesoporous structures are crucial for their absorption ability and improved ion transport, resulting in optimized electrochemical performance. Finally, we demonstrate significant improvements in specific capacitance and cycling stability compared to pure CuO-based electrodes, highlighting the potential of this composite structure for advanced supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
We investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of eight possible Zr2CO2/GaS van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures using first-principles calculations based on a hybrid functional. These structures display favorable stability, indicated by matching crystal structures and negative formation energies. In all considered configurations, these heterostructures act as indirect band gap semiconductors with a type-II band alignment, allowing efficient electron-hole separation. Optical studies reveal their suitability for optoelectronic applications. Zr2CO2/GaS under 4% biaxial compressive strain meets the criteria for photocatalytic water splitting, suggesting their potential for electronic and optoelectronic devices in the visible spectrum. Our findings present prospects for advanced photocatalytic materials and optical devices.

Abstract
Exploitation of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials as active electrodes for energy storage or conversion is reasonably challenging owing to their poor robustness against various acidic/basic conditions and conventionally low electric conductivity. Keeping this in perspective, herein, a 3D ultramicroporous triazolate Fe-MOF (abbreviated as Fe-MET) is judiciously employed using cheap and commercially available starting materials. Fe-MET possesses ultra-stability against various chemical environments (pH-1 to pH-14 with varied organic solvents) and is highly electrically conductive (σ = 0.19 S m-1) in one fell swoop. By taking advantage of the properties mentioned above, Fe-MET electrodes give prominence to electrochemical capacitor (EC) performance by delivering an astounding gravimetric (304 F g-1) and areal (181 mF cm-2) capacitance at 0.5 A g-1 current density with exceptionally high cycling stability. Implementation of Fe-MET as an exclusive (by not using any conductive additives) EC electrode in solid-state energy storage devices outperforms most of the reported MOF-based EC materials and even surpasses certain porous carbon and graphene materials, showcasing superior capabilities and great promise compared to various other alternatives as energy storage materials.

Abstract
Pairing the positive and negative electrodes with their individual dynamic characteristics at a realistic cell level is essential to the practical optimal design of electrochemical energy storage devices. However, the complex relationship between the performance data measured for individual electrodes and the two-electrode cells used in practice often makes an optimal pairing experimentally challenging. Taking advantage of the developed tunable graphene-based electrodes with controllable structure, experiments with machine learning are successfully united to generate a large pool of capacitance data for graphene-based electrode materials with varied slit pore sizes, thicknesses, and charging rates and numerically pair them into different combinations for two-electrode cells. The results show that the optimal pairing parameters of positive and negative electrodes vary considerably with the operation rate of the cells and are even influenced by the thickness of inactive components. The best-performing individual electrode does not necessarily result in optimal cell-level performance. The machine learning-assisted pairing approach presents much higher efficiency compared with the traditional trial-and-error approach for the optimal design of supercapacitors. The new engineering science insights observed in this work enable the adoption of artificial intelligence techniques to efficiently translate well-developed high-performance individual electrode materials into real energy storage devices.

Abstract
Xenes, mono-elemental atomic sheets, exhibit Dirac/Dirac-like quantum behavior. When interfaced with other 2D materials such as boron nitride, transition metal dichalcogenides, and metal carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides, it enables them with unique physicochemical properties, including structural stability, desirable bandgap, efficient charge carrier injection, flexibility/breaking stress, thermal conductivity, chemical reactivity, catalytic efficiency, molecular adsorption, and wettability. For example, BN acts as an anti-oxidative shield, MoS2 injects electrons upon laser excitation, and MXene provides mechanical flexibility. Beyond precise compositional modulations, stacking sequences, and inter-layer coupling controlled by parameters, achieving scalability and reproducibility in hybridization is crucial for implementing these quantum materials in consumer applications. However, realizing the full potential of these hybrid materials faces challenges such as air gaps, uneven interfaces, and the formation of defects and functional groups. Advanced synthesis techniques, a deep understanding of quantum behaviors, precise control over interfacial interactions, and awareness of cross-correlations among these factors are essential. Xene-based hybrids show immense promise for groundbreaking applications in quantum computing, flexible electronics, energy storage, and catalysis. In this timely perspective, recent discoveries of novel Xenes and their hybrids are highlighted, emphasizing correlations among synthetic parameters, structure, properties, and applications. It is anticipated that these insights will revolutionize diverse industries and technologies.

Abstract
A hybrid supercapacitor is designed by coupling a battery electrode with a capacitive electrode in a single device/cell to enhance energy density. In iodine-based hybrid supercapacitors, the nanoporous carbon serves as the electrode material; however, the cathode or positive electrode is charged with iodine via electrodeposition from a redox aqueous electrolyte, while a negative electrode stores charges at the electric double-layer. In this work, iodine is loaded via physical adsorption into the porosity of a carbon electrode, keeping the aqueous electrolyte free from iodide redox moieties. By this way, the risk of polyiodide (I3- and I5-) generation at the positive electrode leading to a shuttling-related performance loss of the hybrid supercapacitor is prevented. Chemical interactions of iodine with the carbon surface and within the pores have been investigated with Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and electron microscopy. Electrochemical methods have been used to test individual electrodes and hybrid supercapacitors in aqueous NaNO3 and aqueous LiTFSI at 5 mol/L concentration for performance parameters such as energy efficiency, capacitance, self-discharge and cyclability. The hybrid supercapacitor in aqueous LiTFSI exhibits stable capacitance and energy efficiency during long-term aging tests at 1.5 V. Carbon nanoarchitecturing with iodine as shown in the present work offers an economical approach to enhance the performance of hybrid supercapacitors.

Abstract
The huge polyoxometalate, N a 48 [ H x M o 256 V I M o 112 V O 1032 ( H 2 O ) 240 ( SO 4 ) 48 ] ({Mo368}), which can be prepared by a facile solution process and can be applied in lithium-ion storage applications as the anode. The large and open hollow nanostructure is promising to store a larger number of lithium ions and expedite the diffusion of lithium ions. A single {Mo368} nanocluster can transfer 624 electrons, referred to as a "huge electron sponge". Pure {Mo368} without any support materials exhibits very high capacities of 964 mA h g-1 with hardly any decay for 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 and still maintains 761 mA h g-1 after 180 cycles at 0.5 A g-1, indicating great cycling stability. The {Mo368} anode provides excellent rate performance and reversibility during the lithiation/delithiation processes, which are contributed by both the diffusion-controlled process and the capacitive process. The capacitive contribution can reach 71.7% at a scan rate of 2 mV s-1. The high DLi+ value measured by GITT confirms the fast reaction kinetics of the {Mo368} electrode. The {Mo368}//NCM111-A full cell is practically applied to light LED lamps. These investigations indicate that {Mo368} nanoclusters are advanced energy storage materials with high capacities, fast charge transfer, and low-cost mass production for lithium-ion storage. Moreover, {Mo368} should be considered a clean energy material because there is no production of environmental pollution during the charge/discharge processes.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) exhibit superior power density and cyclability compared to lithium-ion batteries. However, the low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of amorphous carbon anodes (e.g., hard carbon (HC) and soft carbon (SC)) limits the energy density of LICs by underutilizing cathode capacity. Here, a solution-based deep prelithiation strategy for carbon anodes is applied using a contact-ion pair dominant solution, offering high energy density based on a systematic electrode balancing based on the cathode capacity increased beyond the original theoretical limit. Increasing the anode ICE to 150% over 100%, the activated carbon (AC) capacity is doubled by activating Li+ cation storage, which unleashes rocking-chair LIC operation alongside the dual-ion-storage mechanism. The increased AC capacity results in an energy density of 106.6 Wh kg-1 AC+SC, equivalent to 281% of that of LICs without prelithiation. Moreover, this process lowers the cathode-anode mass ratio, reducing the cell thickness by 67% without compromising the cell capacity. This solution-based deep chemical prelithiation promises high-energy LICs based on transition metal-free, earth-abundant active materials to meet the practical demands of power-intensive applications.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a typical layered material, has important applications in various fields, such as optoelectronics, catalysis, electronic devices, sensors, and supercapacitors. Extensive research has been carried out on few-layered MoS2 in the field of electrochemistry due to its large specific surface area, abundant active sites and short electron transport path. However, the preparation of few-layered MoS2 is a significant challenge. This work presents a simple one-pot hydrothermal method for synthesizing few-layered MoS2. Furthermore, it investigates the exfoliation effect of different amounts of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a stripping agent on the layer number of MoS2. Na+ ions, as alkali metal ions, can intercalate between layers to achieve the purpose of exfoliating MoS2. Additionally, NaBH4 exhibits reducibility, which can effectively promote the formation of the metallic phase of MoS2. Few-layered MoS2, as an electrode for supercapacitor, possesses a wide potential window of 0.9 V, and a high specific capacitance of 150 F g-1 at 1 A g-1. This work provides a facile method to prepare few-layered two-dimensional materials for high electrochemical performance.

Abstract
The rapid development of the Internet of Things has triggered a huge demand for self-sustained technology that can provide a continuous electricity supply for low-power electronics. Here, a self-sustained power supply solution is demonstrated that can produce a 24 h continuous and unipolar electricity output based on thermoelectric devices by harvesting the environmental temperature difference, which is ingeniously established utilizing radiation cooling and selective photothermal conversion. The developed prototype system can stably maintain a large temperature difference of about 1.8 K for a full day despite the real-time changes in environmental temperature and solar radiation, thereby driving continuous electricity output using the built-in thermoelectric device. Specifically, the large output voltage of >102 mV and the power density of >4.4 mW m-2 could be achieved for a full day, which are outstanding among the 24 h self-sustained thermoelectric devices and far higher than the start-up values of the wireless temperature sensor and also the light-emitting diode, enabling the 24 h remote data transmission and lighting, respectively. This work highlights the application prospects of self-sustained thermoelectric devices for low-power electronics.

Abstract
Electroactive materials are central to myriad applications, including energy storage, sensing, and catalysis. Compared to traditional inorganic electrode materials, redox-active organic materials such as porous organic polymers (POPs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging as promising alternatives due to their structural tunability, flexibility, sustainability, and compatibility with a range of electrolytes. Herein, we discuss the challenges and opportunities available for the use of redox-active organic materials in organoelectrochemistry, an emerging area in fine chemical synthesis. In particular, we highlight the utility of organic electrode materials in photoredox catalysis, electrochemical energy storage, and electrocatalysis and point to new directions needed to unlock their potential utility for organic synthesis. This Perspective aims to bring together the organic, electrochemistry, and polymer communities to design new heterogeneous electrocatalysts for the sustainable synthesis of complex molecules.

Abstract
The high surface-area-to-volume ratio of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) positions them as promising materials for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. However, the challenge lies in achieving a highly accessible surface area, while maintaining good electrical conductivity. An efficient supercapacitor demands a dense yet highly porous structure that facilitates efficient ion-surface interactions and supports fast charge mobility. Here we demonstrate the successful development of additive-free ultrahigh energy density electric double-layer capacitors based on quantum dot hierarchical nanopore (QDHN) structures. Lead sulfide QDs are assembled into QDHN structures that strike a balance between electrical conductivity and efficient ion diffusion by employing meticulous control over inter-QD distances without any additives. Using ionic liquid as the electrolyte, the high-voltage ultrathin-film microsupercapacitors achieve a remarkable combination of volumetric energy density (95.6 mWh cm-3) and power density (13.5 W cm-3). This achievement is attributed to the intrinsic capability of QDHN structures to accumulate charge carriers efficiently. These findings introduce innovative concepts for leveraging colloidal nanomaterials in the advancement of high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal oxide (MO) nanostructures have unique properties compared with their bulk or 0D and 1D (nanoparticle and nanowire) counterparts. Their abundant surface area and atomically thin 2D structure are advantageous for their applications in catalysis and energy, as well as integration with 2D layered materials such as graphene and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). However, fast and scalable synthesis of 2D MOs and their nanocomposites remains challenging. Here, we developed a microwave-assisted solid-state synthesis method for the scalable generation of 2D MOs and 2D MO/rGO nanocomposites with tunable structure and composition. The structures and properties of 2D Fe2O3 and 2D ZnO as well as their nanocomposites with rGO were systematically investigated. The excellent electrochemical properties of such 2D MO/rGO nanocomposites also enable us to use them as electrode materials to fabricate microsupercapacitors. This work provides new insights into the scalable and solid-state synthesis of 2D nanocomposites and their potential applications in catalysis, energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) have attracted much attention due to integrating the high energy density of battery and high out power of supercapacitors. However, rapid Na+ diffusion kinetics in cathode is counterbalanced with sluggish anode, hindering the further advancement and commercialization of SIHCs. Here, aiming at conversion-type metal sulfide anode, taking typical VS2 as an example, a comprehensive regulation of nanostructure and electronic properties through NH4 + pre-intercalation and Mo-doping VS2 (Mo-NVS2) is reported. It is demonstrated that NH4 + pre-intercalation can enlarge the interplanar spacing and Mo-doping can induce interlayer defects and sulfur vacancies that are favorable to construct new ion transport channels, thus resulting in significantly enhanced Na+ diffusion kinetics and pseudocapacitance. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the introduction of NH4 + and Mo-doping enhances the electronic conductivity, lowers the diffusion energy barrier of Na+, and produces stronger d-p hybridization to promote conversion kinetics of Na+ intercalation intermediates. Consequently, Mo-NVS2 delivers a record-high reversible capacity of 453 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1 and an ultra-stable cycle life of over 20 000 cycles. The assembled SIHCs achieve impressive energy density/power density of 98 Wh kg-1/11.84 kW kg-1, ultralong cycling life of over 15000 cycles, and very low self-discharge rate (0.84 mV h-1).

Abstract
We have used density functional theory simulations to explore the topological characteristics of a new MXene-like material, V4C3, and its oxide counterpart, assessing their potential as anode materials for Mg-ion batteries. Our research reveals that V4C3 monolayer is a topological type-II nodal line semimetal, protected by time reversal and spatial inversion symmetries. This type-II nodal line is marked by unique drumhead-like edge states that appear either inside or outside the loop circle, contingent upon the edge ending. Intriguingly, even with an increase in metallicity due to oxygen functionalization, the topological features of V4C3 remain intact. Consequently, the monolayer V4C3 has a topologically enhanced electrical conductivity that amplifies further upon oxygen functionalization. During the charging phase, a remarkable storage concentration led to a peak specific capacity of 894.73 mAh g-1 for V4C3, which only decreases to 789.33 mAh g-1 for V4C3O2. When compared to V2C, V4C3 displays a significantly lower specific capacity loss due to functionalization, demonstrating its superior electrochemical properties. Additionally, V4C3 and V4C3O2 exhibit moderate average open-circuit voltages (0.54 V for V4C3 and 0.58 V for V4C3O2) and energy barriers for intercalation migration (ranging between 0.29-0.63 eV), which are desirable for anode materials. Thus, our simulation results support V4C3 potential as an efficient anode material for Mg-ion batteries.

Abstract
Fast charging lithium (Li)-ion batteries are intensively pursued for next-generation energy storage devices, whose electrochemical performance is largely determined by their constituent electrode materials. While nanosizing of electrode materials enhances high-rate capability in academic research, it presents practical limitations like volumetric packing density and high synthetic cost. As an alternative to nanosizing, microscale electrode materials cannot only effectively overcome the limitations of the nanosizing strategy but also satisfy the requirement of fast-charging batteries. Therefore, this review summarizes the new emerging microscale electrode materials for fast charging from the commercialization perspective. First, the fundamental theory of electronic/ionic motion in both individual active particles and the whole electrode is proposed. Then, based on these theories, the corresponding optimization strategies are summarized toward fast-charging microscale electrode materials. In addition, advanced functional design to tackle the mechanical degradation problems related to next generation high capacity alloy- and conversion-type electrode materials (Li, S, Si et al.) for achieving fast charging and stable cycling batteries. Finally, general conclusions and the future perspective on the potential research directions of microscale electrode materials are proposed. It is anticipated that this review will provide the basic guidelines for both fundamental research and practical applications of fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
Preparing electrode material integrated with high gravimetric/volumetric capacitance and fast electron/ion transfer is crucial for the practical application. Owing to the structural contradiction, it is a big challenge to construct electrode material with high packing density, sufficient ion transport channels, and fast electronic transfer pathways. Herein, MnO2 porous carbon composite with abundant porous structure and 3D carbon skeleton was facilely fabricated from Linum usitatissimum. L stems via NaOH activation and MnO2 introduction. The in-situ introduced MnO2 not only increases the packing density and the electrical conductivity of the porous carbon but also provides more active sites for oxidation reactions. These unique characteristics endow the resultant MnO2 porous carbon composite with remarkable gravimetric capacitance of 549 F g-1, volumetric capacitance of 378 F cm-3, and capacitance retention of 54.9 %. Giving the simple process and low cost, this work might offer a new approach for structural design and the practical application of high-performance electrode materials.

Abstract
The reserve of lignin in the biological world is the second largest biomass resource after cellulose. Lignin has the characteristics of wide sources, low cost, and rich active components. Due to environmental pollution and energy scarcity, lignin is often used as a substitute good for petrochemical products. Lignin-based functional materials can be prepared by chemical modification or compounding, which are widely used in the fields of energy storage, chemical industry, and medicine. Among them, lignin-based carbon materials have the features of stable chemical properties, large pH application range, ideal electrical conductivity, developed pore size, and high specific surface area, which have great application prospects as supercapacitor materials. This paper mainly introduces the structural properties of lignin, the methods, and mechanisms of carbonization, pore-making, and pore-expansion, as well as the research progress of lignin-based carbon materials for supercapacitors, while looking forward to the future research direction of lignin carbon materials.

Abstract
Energy is undeniably one of the most fundamental requirements of the current generation. Solar and wind energy are sustainable and renewable energy sources; however, their unpredictability points to the development of energy storage systems (ESSs). There has been a substantial increase in the use of batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), as ESSs. However, low rate capability and degradation due to electric load in long-range electric vehicles are pushing LIBs to their limits. As alternative ESSs, magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) possess promising properties and advantages. Cathode materials play a crucial role in MIBs. In this regard, a variety of cathode materials, including Mn-based, Se-based, vanadium- and vanadium oxide-based, S-based, and Mg2+-containing cathodes, have been investigated by experimental and theoretical techniques. Results reveal that the discharge capacity, capacity retention, and cycle life of cathode materials need improvement. Nevertheless, maintaining the long-term stability of the electrode-electrolyte interface during high-voltage operation continues to be a hurdle in the execution of MIBs, despite the continuous research in this field. The current Review mainly focuses on the most recent nanostructured-design cathode materials in an attempt to draw attention to MIBs and promote the investigation of suitable cathode materials for this promising energy storage device.

Abstract
Kagome lattices may have numerous exotic physical properties, such as stable ferromagnetism and topological states. Herein, combining the particle swarm structure search method with first-principles calculations, we identify a two-dimensional (2D) kagome Mo2Se3 crystal structure with space group P6/mmm. The results show that 2D kagome Mo2Se3 is a 100% spin-polarized topological nodal line semimetal and exhibits excellent ambient stability. The band crossing points form two nodal loops around the high-symmetry points Γ and K. On the other hand, Mo2Se3 shows intrinsic ferromagnetism with a large magnetic moment of 3.05 μB per Mo atom and magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of 4.78 meV. Monte Carlo simulations estimate that Mo2Se3 possesses a high Curie temperature of about 673 K. In addition, its ferromagnetic ground state can be well preserved under external strain, and the MAE can be improved by increasing the strain. More importantly, the position of each nodal line can be adjusted to the Fermi level through hole doping. This multifunctional 2D magnetic material that combines spin and topology has great potential in the field of nanoscale spintronic devices.

Abstract
Efficient and rapid synthesis of transition metal-based hydroxides with tailored microstructures has emerged as a promising approach to fabricate high-performance electrode materials for energy storage devices. However, many conventional synthesis methods are cumbersome, expensive and time-consuming, and the microstructures of electrode materials are usually uncontrollable. Herein, we propose a fast and cost-effective approach to electrochemically in situ grow NiFeCo-based ternary hydroxides (NiFeCo-THs) with layered nanosheet structures on pretreated nickel foam (NF). The in situ grown NiFeCo-THs were in direct contact with the NF to form a monolithic electrode as NiFeCo/NF. By engineering the ion exchange process for controlling the ionic ratio, the monolithic Ni1(Fe/Co = 1/1)0.5/NF electrode was fabricated and found to show the optimum electrochemical behavior with a specific capacitance of 2.32 C cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2 as a result of its characteristic microstructures. Furthermore, a hybrid supercapacitor was constructed utilizing the monolithic Ni1(Fe/Co = 1/1)0.5/NF electrode and activated carbon as the cathode and anode, respectively, and it was found to have an energy density of 81.1 μW h cm-2 at a power density of 808.8 μW cm-2. After 5000 cycles, 84.0% of the initial capacitance of the hybrid supercapacitor was maintained, and the monolithic Ni1(Fe/Co = 1/1)0.5/NF electrode still retained the arrayed nanosheet structure.

Abstract
As a high energy density power system, lithium-carbon dioxide (Li-CO2 ) batteries play an important role in addressing the fossil fuel crisis issues and alleviating the greenhouse effect. However, the sluggish transformation kinetic of CO2 and the difficult decomposition of discharge products impede the achievement of large capacity, small overpotential, and long life span of the batteries, which require exploring efficient catalysts to resolve these problems. In this review, the main focus is on the hot spot regulation strategies of the catalysts, which include the modulation of the active sites, the designing of microstructure, and the construction of composition. The recent progress of promising catalysis with hot spot regulated strategies is systematically addressed. Critical challenges are also presented and perspectives to provide useful guidance for the rational design of highly efficient catalysts for practical advanced Li-CO2 batteries are proposed.

Abstract
For Si/C anodes, achieving excellent performance with a simple fabrication process is still an ongoing challenge. Herein, we report a green, facile and scalable approach for the in situ synthesis of Si@C anodes during the electrode manufacturing process by partially carbonizing Si nanoparticles (Si NPs) and dual polymers at a relatively low temperature. Due to the proper mass ratio of the two polymer precursors and proper carbonization temperature, the resultant Si-based anode demonstrates a typical Si@C core-shell structure and has strong mechanical properties with the aid of dual-interfacial bonding between the Si NPs core and carbon shell layer, as well as between the C matrix and the underlying Cu foil. Consequently, the resultant Si@C anode shows a high specific capacity (3458.1 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1), good rate capability (1039 mAh g-1 at 4 A g-1) and excellent cyclability (77.94% of capacity retention at a high current density of 1 A g-1 after 200 cycles). More importantly, the synthesis of the Si@C anode is integrated in situ into the electrode manufacturing process and, thus, significantly decreases the cost of the lithium-ion battery but without sacrificing the electrochemical performance of the Si@C anode. Our results provide a new strategy for designing next-generation, high-capacity and cost-effective batteries.

Abstract
Strong, conductive, and flexible materials with improving ion accessibility have attracted significant attention in electromagnetic interference (EMI) and foldable wearable electronics. However, it still remains a great challenge to realize high performance at the same time for both properties. Herein, a microscale structural design combined with nanostructures strategy to fabricate TOCNF(F)/Ti3 C2 Tx (M)@AgNW(A) composite films via a facile vacuum filtration process followed by hot pressing (TOCNF = TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils, NW = nanowires) is described. The comparison reveals that different microscale structures can significantly influence the properties of thin films, especially their electrochemical properties. Impressively, the ultrathin MA/F/MA film with enhanced layer in the middle exhibits an excellent tensile strength of 107.9 MPa, an outstanding electrical conductivity of 8.4 × 106 S m-1 , and a high SSE/t of 26 014.52 dB cm2 g-1 . The assembled asymmetric MA/F/MA//TOCNF@CNT (carbon nanotubes) supercapacitor leads to a significantly high areal energy density of 49.08 µWh cm-2 at a power density of 777.26 µW cm-2 . This study proposes an effective strategy to circumvent the trade-off between EMI performance and electrochemical properties, providing an inspiration for the fabrication of multifunctional films for a wide variety of applications in aerospace, national defense, precision instruments, and next-generation electronics.

Abstract
Devices for electrochemical energy storage with exceptional capacitance and rate performance, outstanding energy density, simple fabrication, long-term stability, and remarkable reversibility have always been in high demand. Herein, a high-performance binder-free electrode (3D NiCuS/rGO) was fabricated as a supercapacitor by a simple electrodeposition process on a Ni foam (NF) surface. The thickness of the deposited materials on the NF surface was adjusted by applying a low cycle number of cyclic voltammetry (5 cycles) which produced a thin layer and thus enabled the easier penetration of electrolytes to promote electron and charge transfer. The NiCuS was anchored by graphene layers producing nicely integrated materials leading to a higher electroconductivity and a larger surface area electrode. The as-fabricated electrode displayed a high specific capacitance (2211.029 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1). The NiCuS/rGO/NF//active carbon device can achieve a stable voltage window of 1.5 V with a highly specific capacitance of 84.3 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. At a power density of 749 W kg-1, a satisfactory energy density of 26.3 W h kg-1 was achieved, with outstanding coulombic efficiency of 100% and an admirable life span of 96.2% after 10 000 GCD cycles suggesting the significant potential of the as-prepared materials for practical supercapacitors.

Abstract
Benefiting from the merits of low cost, nonflammability, and high operational safety, aqueous rechargeable batteries have emerged as promising candidates for large-scale energy-storage applications. Among various metal-ion/non-metallic charge carriers, the proton (H+ ) as a charge carrier possesses numerous unique properties such as fast proton diffusion dynamics, a low molar mass, and a small hydrated ion radius, which endow aqueous proton batteries (APBs) with a salient rate capability, a long-term life span, and an excellent low-temperature electrochemical performance. In addition, redox-active organic molecules, with the advantages of structural diversity, rich proton-storage sites, and abundant resources, are considered attractive electrode materials for APBs. However, the charge-storage and transport mechanisms of organic electrodes in APBs are still in their infancy. Therefore, finding suitable electrode materials and uncovering the H+ -storage mechanisms are significant for the application of organic materials in APBs. Herein, the latest research progress on organic materials, such as small molecules and polymers for APBs, is reviewed. Furthermore, a comprehensive summary and evaluation of APBs employing organic electrodes as anode and/or cathode is provided, especially regarding their low-temperature and high-power performances, along with systematic discussions for guiding the rational design and the construction of APBs based on organic electrodes.

Abstract
As a typical pseudocapacitor material, VOx possesses mixed valence states, making it an ideal electrode material for symmetric screen-printed supercapacitors. However, its high internal resistance and low energy density are the main hurdles to its widespread application. In this study, a two-dimensional PANI@VOx nanobelt with a core-shell architecture was constructed via a two-step route. This strategy involves the preparation of VOx using a solvothermal method, and a subsequent in situ polymerization process of the PANI. By virtue of the synergistic effect between the VOx core and the PANI shell, the optimal VOx@PANI has an enhanced conductivity of 0.7 ± 0.04 S/Ω, which can deliver a high specific capacitance of 347.5 F/g at 0.5 A/g, a decent cycling life of ~72.0%, and an outstanding Coulomb efficiency of ~100% after 5000 cycles at 5 A/g. Moreover, a flexible all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor (VOx@PANI SSC) with an in-planar interdigitated structure was screen-printed and assembled on a nickel current collector; it yielded a remarkable areal energy density of 115.17 μWh/cm2 at an areal power density of 0.39 mW/cm2, and possessed outstanding flexibility and mechanical performance. Notably, a "Xiaomi" hygrothermograph (3.0 V) was powered easily by tandem SSCs with an operating voltage of 3.1 V. Therefore, this advanced pseudocapacitor material with core-shell architecture opens novel ideas for flexible symmetric supercapacitors in powering portable/wearable products.

Abstract
Anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs) offer high-energy-density battery systems, but their commercial viability is hindered by irregular lithium dendrite growth and "dead Li" formation caused by current collector defects. This study employed filtered cathode vacuum arc (FCVA) technology to fabricate Cu current collectors (CCs) with a lithiophilic Zn3N2 film. This advanced preparation process ensures an evenly distributed film that reduces the nucleation overpotential, homogenizes the interfacial electric field during plating/stripping processes, inhibits lithium dendrite growth, and forms a stable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Our results show that the advanced Zn3N2@Cu CCs exhibit superior performance with a high CE of above 99.3% after 230 cycles at a current density of 0.5 mA cm-2 and an area capacity of 1 mAh cm-2. Additionally, Li-Zn3N2@Cu||Li-Zn3N2@Cu symmetrical cells had a longer stable cycle time of over 1000 h than that of Li||Li and Li-Cu||Li-Cu symmetrical cells at a current density of 1 mA cm-2 and an area capacity of 2 mAh cm-2. Compared with bare Cu CCs, the capacity retention rate is increased from 14.9 to 63.1% after 100 cycles with a 0.5C rate in the AFLMBs with LFP as the cathode. This work provides a pioneering, eco-friendly, and effective solution for the fabrication of anode CCs in AFLMBs, addressing a significant challenge in their commercial application.

[PMID: 37604148 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/acf224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are reliable and promising cathode materials for aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) owing to their open three-dimensional frameworks, outstanding stability, and low production costs. However, PBAs containing only a single type of transition-metal ion often have limited charge-storage capacities in aqueous systems. This study reports the first example of K0.11Ni0.39Co0.79[Fe(CN)6]·2.04H2O nanoparticles (Ni/Co-PBA) being used as a high-capacity cathode material for ASIBs. Owing to multi-electron redox reactions involving Co and Fe ions, Ni/Co-PBA has an initial capacity of 65 mAh g-1and a capacity retention rate of 80% after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1, indicating its outstanding cycle performance and capacity retention. Ex-situ x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique were used to analyze the redox mechanisms and kinetics of Ni/Co-PBA. Ni/Co-PBA-based ASIBs are among the most promising energy-storage technologies for large-scale fixed energy-storage systems because of their outstanding electrochemical performance, low costs, and high efficiency.

Abstract
To meet the growing demand for efficient and sustainable power sources, it is crucial to develop high-performance energy storage systems. Additionally, they should be cost-effective and able to operate without any detrimental environmental side effects. In this study, rice husk-activated carbon (RHAC), which is known for its abundance, low cost, and excellent electrochemical performance, was combined with MnFe2O4 nanostructures to improve the overall capacitance of asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) and their energy density. A series of activation and carbonization steps are involved in the fabrication process for RHAC from rice husk. Furthermore, the BET surface area for RHAC was determined to be 980 m2 g-1 and superior porosities (average pore diameter of 7.2 nm) provide abundant active sites for charge storage. Additionally, MnFe2O4 nanostructures were effective pseudocapacitive electrode materials due to their combined Faradic and non-Faradic capacitances. In order to assess the electrochemical performance of ASCs extensively, several characterization techniques were employed, including galvanostatic charge -discharge, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Comparatively, the ASC demonstrated a maximum specific capacitance of ~420 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g. The as-fabricated ASC possesses remarkable electrochemical characteristics, including high specific capacitance, superior rate capability, and long-term cycle stability. The developed asymmetric configuration retained 98% of its capacitance even after 12,000 cycles performed at a current density of 6A/g, demonstrating its stability and reliability for supercapacitors. The present study demonstrates the potential of synergistic combinations of RHAC and MnFe2O4 nanostructures in improving supercapacitor performance, as well as providing a sustainable method of using agricultural waste for energy storage.

Abstract
It is of general interest to combine the faradaic processes based high energy density of a battery with the non-faradaic processes based high power density of a capacitor in one cell. Surface area and functional groups of electrode materials strongly affect these properties. For the anode material Li4Ti5O12 (LTO), we suggest a polaron based mechanism that influences Li ion uptake and mobility. Here we show electrolytes containing a lithium salt induce an observable change in the bulk NMR relaxation properties of LTO nano particles. The longitudinal 7Li NMR relaxation time of bulk LTO can change by almost an order of magnitude and, therefore, reacts very sensitively to the cation and its concentration in the surrounding electrolyte. The reversible effect is largely independent of the used anions and of potential anion decomposition products. It is concluded that lithium salt containing electrolytes increase the mobility of surface polarons. These polarons and additional lithium cations from the electrolyte can now diffuse through the bulk, induce the observed enhanced relaxation rate and enable the non-faradaic process. This picture of a Li+ ion equilibrium between electrolyte and solid may help with improving the charging properties of electrode materials.

Abstract
Combining the new two-dimensional conductive MXene with transition metal oxide to build composite structure is a promising path to improve the conductivity of metal oxide. However, a critical challenge still remains in how to achieve a good combination of MXene and metal oxide. Herein, we develop a facile hydrothermal route to synthesize the MnO2/Ti3C2Txcomposite electrode for supercapacitors by synergistically coupling MnO2nanowires with Ti3C2TxMXene nanoflakes. Compared with the pure MnO2electrode, the morphology of the MnO2/Ti3C2Txcomposite electrode changes from nanowires to nanoflowers. Moreover, the overall conductivity and electrochemical performance of the composite electrode are greatly improved due to an addition of Ti3C2TxMXene. The specific capacitance of the MnO2/Ti3C2Txcomposite electrode achieves 210.8 F·g-1at a scan rate of 2 mV·s-1, while that of the pure MnO2electrode is only 55.2 F·g-1. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of the MnO2/Ti3C2Txcomposite electrode still can remain at 97.2% even after 10 000 charge-discharge cycles, revealing an excellent cycle stability. The synthesis strategy of this work can pave the way for the research and practical application of the electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Doping engineering in nanostructured carbon materials is an effective approach to modify heteroatom species and surface electronic structures. Herein, an advanced electrode material based on a honeycomb-like porous carbon matrix with tunable N-doped configurations is prepared via 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy)-assisted pyrolysis of SiO2@ZIF-8 templates and subsequent etching treatment. Interestingly, the amounts of pyridinic-N and graphitic-N can be controlled by rationally varying the content of 4,4'-bpy which acts as the N source in the pyrolysis process. Both experimental results and density functional theory calculations have revealed that synergistically with 3D interconnected porous architecture, pyridinic-N and graphitic-N have different effects on the electrochemical performances in aqueous and ionic liquid gel electrolytes for symmetric supercapacitors. Highly exposed pyridinic-N endows the carbon electrode with a strengthened pseudocapacitance contribution manifested as a high specific capacitance of 436.1 F g-1 and exceptional stability of almost 100% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles at 10 A g-1 in the KOH/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) electrolyte. By contrast, graphitic-N is propitious for reinforced electrical double-layer capacitance contribution, reflected by a maximum energy density of 125.4 Wh kg-1 in the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate/poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (EMIMBF4/PVDF-HFP) electrolyte. This work offers an in-depth insight into the understanding of the energy storage mechanism of N-rich carbon electrodes in different electrolyte media.

Abstract
Garnet electrolytes, possessing high ionic conductivity (10-4 -10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature) and excellent chemical/electrochemical compatibility with lithium metal, are expected to be used in solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, the poor solid-solid interfacial contact between lithium and garnet leads to high interfacial resistance, reducing the battery power capability and cyclability. Garnet electrolytes are commonly believed to be intrinsically lithiophilic, and lithiophobic Li2 CO3 on the garnet surface accounted for the poor interfacial contact. Here, it is proposed that the interfacial lithiophobicity/lithiophilicity of garnets (LLZO, LLZTO) can be transformed above a temperature of ≈380 °C. This transition mechanism is also suitable for other materials such as Li2 CO3 , Li2 O, stainless steel, and Al2 O3 . By using this transition mechanism, uniform and even lithium can be strongly bonded no-surface-treated garnet electrolytes with various shapes. The Li-LLZTO interfacial resistance can be reduced to ≈3.6 Ω cm2 and sustainably withstood lithium extraction and insertion for up to 2000 h at 100 µA cm-2 . This high-temperature lithiophobicity/lithiophilicity transition mechanism can help improve the understanding of lithium-garnet interfaces and build practical lithium-garnet solid-solid interfaces.

Abstract
3D Bi2S3 materials were prepared by the trisodium citrate (Na3Cit)-assisted solvothermal method and applied to aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) to explore the effect of the electrode material morphology on the electrochemical performance. As the concentration of Na3Cit increases, the 3D assembly morphology evolves from coral-like to sphere-like to snowflake-like structures. The electrochemical test results show that the electrode materials of various morphologies possess excellent cycle life, but the specific capacity varies greatly depending on the morphology. Impressively, the Bi2S3-1.2 electrode has the best electrochemical performance, with a capacity of 203.5 mA h g-1 after 4000 charge/discharge cycles at 0.5 A g-1. Furthermore, the Bi2S3-1.2 electrode delivers an ultralong lifetime of over 10 000 cycles with a capacity of 150.2 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1. This work demonstrates a feasible route to prepare ultra-long cycle life AZIBs.

Abstract
As intelligent microsystems develop, many revolutionary applications, such as the swallowing surgeon proposed by Richard Feynman, are about to evolve. Nonetheless, integrable energy storage satisfying the demand for autonomous operations has emerged as a major obstacle to the deployment of intelligent microsystems. A reason for the lagging development of integrable batteries is the challenge of miniaturization through microfabrication procedures. Lithium batteries, generated by the most successful battery chemistry, are not stable in the air, thus creating major manufacturing challenges. Other cations (Na+ , Mg2+ , Al3+ , K+ ) are still in the early stages of development. In contrast, the superior stability of zinc batteries in the air brings high compatibility to microfabrication protocols and has already demonstrated excellent practicability in full-sized devices. To obtain energy-dense and high-power zinc microbatteries within square-millimeter or smaller footprints, sandwich, pillar, and Swiss-roll configurations are developed. Thin interdigital and fiber microbatteries find their applications being integrated into wearable devices and electronic skin. It is foreseeable that zinc microbatteries will find their way into highly integrated microsystems unlocking their full potential for autonomous operation. This review summarizes the material development, configuration innovation, and application-oriented integration of zinc microbatteries.

Abstract
Asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs), employing two dissimilar electrode materials with a large redox peak position difference as cathode and anode, have been designed to further broaden the voltage window and improve the energy density of supercapacitors. Organic molecule based electrodes can be constructed by combining redox-active organic molecules with conductive carbon-based materials such as graphene. Herein, pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PYT), a redox-active molecule with four carbonyl groups, exhibits a four-electron transfer process and can potentially deliver a high capacity. PYT is noncovalently combined with two different kinds of graphene (Graphenea [GN] and LayerOne [LO]) at different mass ratios. The PYT-functionalized GN electrode (PYT/GN 4-5) possesses a high capacity of 711 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 in 1 M H2 SO4 . To match with the PYT/GN 4-5 cathode, an annealed-Ti3 C2 Tx (A-Ti3 C2 Tx ) MXene anode with a pseudocapacitive character is prepared by pyrolysis of pure Ti3 C2 Tx . The assembled PYT/GN 4-5//A-Ti3 C2 Tx ASC delivers an outstanding energy density of 18.4 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 700 W kg-1 . The PYT-functionalized graphene holds great potential for high-performance energy storage devices.

Synergistic effect of nitrogen and oxygen dopants in 3D hierarchical porous carbon cathodes for ultra-fast zinc ion hybrid supercapacitors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 640:1029-1039. [PMID: 36913835 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023]
Abstract
Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor is one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage devices for the applications needing both high energy densities and power densities. Nitrogen doping is an effective way to enhance the capacitive performance of porous carbon cathodes in zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor. However, accurate evidence is yet needed to demonstrate how nitrogen dopants influence the charge storage of Zn2+ and H+ cations. Herein, we prepared 3D interconnected hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets by a one-step explosion method. The effect of nitrogen dopants on pseudocapacitance was analyzed by the electrochemical behaviors of as-prepared porous carbon samples with similar morphology and pore structure but different nitrogen and oxygen doping levels. Ex-situ XPS and DFT calculation demonstrate that nitrogen dopants promote the pseudocapacitive reactions by lowering the energy barrier for the change of oxidation states of carbonyl moieties. Owing to the improved pseudocapacitance by nitrogen/oxygen dopants and fast diffusion of Zn2+ ions in 3D interconnected hierarchical porous carbon matrix, the as-constructed ZIHCs show both high gravimetric capacitance (301 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and excellent rate capability (a capacitance retention of 30% at 200 A g-1).
