Abstract
A straightforward in situ thermal (IST) method is developed to synthesize bimetallic Co/Zn embedded in nitrogen-doped three-dimensional carbon (CoZn@NC_IST). The facile IST process is a single-step thermal treatment of a mixture of metals (Co/Zn) and 2-methylimidazole precursors under solvent-free conditions. This straightforward method is advantageous over the traditional synthesis derived from CoZn-ZIF (CoZn@NC_Solv). During the IST method, the bimetallic Co/Zn bridged with 2-methylimidazole forming zeolitic-imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) under low-temperature (<200 °C) conditions before being de-coordinated and sacrificed their structure into a carbon material at high temperature (>500 °C). Loading zinc into the mixture of precursors contributed to the metal distribution and increased the surface area compared with the sample without zinc (Co@NC_IST). CoZn@NC_IST exhibits a bifunctional electrocatalytic ability for the ORR (0.855 V@E1/2) and OER (overpotential of 325 mV@10 mA cm-2). Applying CoZn@NC_IST in a zinc-air battery confirmed its excellent and effective dual-function electrocatalytic performance. Herein, using the advanced single-step method of IST in the absence of any solvent, we provide a powerful and green synthesis of an electrocatalyst that is a potential candidate for industrial applications.

Abstract
In this paper, we report a simple approach, using interfacial self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) on self-sacrificial templates, for preparing mesoporous carbons with in-plane holey pores, including nitrogen atom-doped carbon nanosheets and nanoflowers (denoted as NHCSs and NHCFs). The approach employed sheet- or flower-like layered double hydroxide as the templates, P123 copolymer as the pore-directing agent, and m-phenylenediamine as the carbon source. The holey mesopores may shorten the mass transfer distance to the internal active sites of stacked nanosheets, while the three-dimensional (3D) packing mode of nanosheets can reduce pore blockage caused by their tight stacking. Profiting from these structural advantages, acting as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), both NHCSs and NHCFs show excellent catalytic performance better than that of carbon nanosheets without holey pores. Particularly, NHCFs exhibit a high half-wave-potential (0.82V) and a limiting current density (5.4 mA cm-2 ), close to those of commercial Pt/C catalysts. This study provides valuable clues on building mesoporous materials with in-plane holey pores as well as on the effect of pore structure and stacking mode of 2D materials on their electrocatalytic ORR performance.

Abstract
It remains urgent challenges to adopt suitable strategies to consume unwanted microwave pollution emitted by high-tech electronic devices satisfactorily. Confronted with narrow effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) and high filler loading bottlenecks of MXene-Based microwave absorber, herein, we employ Lewis molten salt etching approach to both exfoliate Ti3AlCN powders into Ti3CNCl2 suspension and intercalate ferromagnetic composition into interlamination simultaneously. By utilizing the crosslinking effect of dopamine, the Ti3CNCl2 are anchored on the surfaces of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, constructing interconnecting microstructure. Both the 3D conductive network and the modification of MXene manifest crucial impacts on enhancing microwave absorption performance of the resulting ultra-lightweight reduced GO (RGO)-based aerogel. The minimum intensity of reflection loss achieves -62.62 dB with the absorber mass loading of 0.7 wt%. Remarkably, more than 90% of the incident microwave is qualified to be absorbed over the whole Ku band. The EAB is broadened while tailoring the thickness to 3 mm, ranging from 10.2 to 18 GHz. Besides, the aerogel presents valuable thermal insulation properties. Our methodology of synthesizing MXene/RGO aerogel not only provides promising insights into microstructural construction but also endows the possibility for integrating thermal insulation property towards next-generation high-performance microwave absorption devices.

Abstract
Graphene (G)-based two dimensional (2D) mesoporous materials combine the advantages of G, ultrathin 2D morphology, and mesoporous structures, greatly contributing to the improvement of power and energy densities of energy storage devices. Despite considerable research progress made in the past decade, a complete overview of G-based 2D mesoporous materials has not yet been provided. In this review, we summarize the synthesis strategies for G-based 2D mesoporous materials and their applications in supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The general aspect of synthesis procedures and underlying mechanisms are discussed in detail. The structural and compositional advantages of G-based 2D mesoporous materials as electrodes for SCs and LIBs are highlighted. We provide our perspective on the opportunities and challenges for development of G-based 2D mesoporous materials. Therefore, we believe that this review will offer fruitful guidance for fabricating G-based 2D mesoporous materials as well as the other types of 2D heterostructures for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Nitrogen-coordinated single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as a new frontier for accelerating oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) owing to the optimal atom efficiency and fascinating properties. However, augmenting the full exposure of active sites is a crucial challenge in terms of simultaneously pursuing high metal loading of SACs. Here, petal-like porous carbon nanosheets with densely accessible Fe-N4 moieties (FeNC-D) are constructed by combining the space-confinement of silica and the coordination of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid. The resulted FeNC-D catalyst possesses an enhanced mesoporosity and a balanced hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, which can facilitate mass transport and advance the exposure of inaccessible Fe-N4 sites, resulting in efficient utilization of active sites. By virtue of the petal-like porous architecture with maximized active site density, FeNC-D demonstrates superior ORR performance in a broad pH range. Remarkably, when utilized as the air cathode in Zn-air battery (ZAB) and microbial fuel cell (MFC), the FeNC-D-based device displays a large power density (356 mW cm-2 for ZAB and 1041.3 mW m-2 for MFC) and possesses remarkable stability, substantially outperforming the commercial Pt/C catalyst.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon materials attract broad interest as catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation toward an efficient, nonradical advanced oxidation process. However, synthesis of N-rich carbocatalysts is challenging because of the thermal instability of desirable nitrogenous species (pyrrolic, pyridinic, and graphitic N). Furthermore, the relative importance of different nitrogenous configurations (and associated activation mechanisms) are unclear. Herein, we report a "coating-pyrolysis" method to synthesize porous 2D N-rich nanocarbon materials (PCN-x) derived from dopamine and g-C3N4 in different weight proportions. PCN-0.5 calcined at 800 °C had the highest surface area (759 m2/g) and unprecedentedly high N content (18.5 at%), and displayed the highest efficiency for 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation via PMS activation. A positive correlation was observed between 4-CP oxidation rates and the total pyridinic and pyrrolic N content. These N dopants serve as Lewis basic sites to facilitate 4-CP adsorption on the PCN surface and subsequent electron-transfer from 4-CP to PMS, mediated by surface-bound complexes (PMS-PCN-0.5). The main degradation products were chlorinated oligomers (mostly dimeric biphenolic compounds), which adsorbed to and deteriorated the carbocatalyst. Overall, this study offers new insights for rational design of nitrogen-enriched carbocatalysts, and advances mechanistic understanding of the critical role of N species during nonradical PMS activation.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is an emerging nature-inspired biopolymer material that possesses many interesting properties including self-assembly and universal adhesion. PDA is also able to form coordination bonds with various metal ions, which can be reduced to metal nanoparticles (NPs) as a result of thermal annealing under protective environment. In this study, PDA has been utilized as a support material to synthesize Pt NPs in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The catalytic performance of the resulting PDA-Pt nanocomposite was evaluated using an electrochemical workstation which showed comparable activity to Pt/C material for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Furthermore, Cu, Ni, and Cu-Ni NPs supported on PDA were also obtained using this strategy with assistance of subsequent thermal annealing. The phase evolution of the NPs was studied by in-situ X-ray diffraction while the morphology of the nanoparticles was investigated using electron microscopic techniques. Preliminary results showed the NPs supported on PDA also possessed HER activity. This work demonstrates that PDA can be utilized as a potential support for synthesis of metal NPs that can be exploited in engineering applications such as catalysts.

Abstract
Here, the potential of boron doped silicon nanotubes (7, 0) as ORR catalysts is examined. Acceptable paths for the ORR on studied catalysts are examined through DFT. The optimum mechanism of the ORR on the surface of B2-SiNT (7, 0) is shown. The ORR on the surface of B2-SiNTs (7, 0) can continue through LH and ER mechanisms. The calculated beginning voltage for the ORR on B2-SiNTs (7, 0) is 0.37 V and it is smaller than the beginning voltage (0.45 V) for platinum-based catalysts. In the acidic solution the beginning voltage for the oxygen reduction process can be evaluated to be 0.97 V, which corresponds to 0.37 V as a minimum overvoltage for the ORR. The B2-SiNTs (7, 0) are suggested as an ORR catalyst in acidic environments.

Abstract
In this study, the composite of two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and button-shaped polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized and further modified by polydopamine (PDA). The obtained PDA-PANI-GO composite was used to enhance the corrosion protection ability of nontoxic water-based alkyd varnish (WAV). The chemical composition, functional groups and surface morphologies of GO, PANI-GO and PDA-PANI-GO composites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR XPS and SEM. The anticorrosion performance was demonstrated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements and polarization tests. Due to the physical barrier effects and surface hydrophobicity of PANI-GO composite, the approaches of the caustic substances to the surface of the metal was inhibited, while the highly adhesive PDA molecules reinforced compatibility between fillers and WAV. As results, PDA-PANI-GO composite introduced WAV enhanced corrosion prevention performance. Under the optimal conditions, where the ratio of PDA to PANI-GO was kept at 2:1, the impedance values increased by over two orders of magnitude compared with bare steel.

Abstract
Cantilever structures usually function as a key building block in the construction of supramolecular systems. In this work, based on the controllable interfacial self-assembly of monolayer long-chain imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) on multi-walled carbon nanotubes, we design a 3D molecular cantilever with advantages including facile assembly, multi-mechanism actuation and high scalability. Molecular dynamics simulations predict that the lifting of the cation alkyl chain as a cantilever possesses a cobra-like actuation mechanism, including structure-induced and environmental response effects, which is further verified via experimental observations. On one hand, regulating the internal alkyl chain units results in the regular variation of the cantilever tilt angle with respect to the surface; on the other hand, applying external electric fields with various strengths/directions can also drive the cantilever to rise or fall. As expected, the interfacial self-assembly structure of the molecular cantilever directionally induces a change in the phase transition behaviour, delivering significantly enhanced thermal stability for immobilized ILs compared with the bulk state.

Abstract
For lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, a promising candidate for future high-energy storage devices, several prominent problems still need to be solved urgently, such as limited rate capability and poor cycle life caused by the insulating nature of sulfur and the shuttle of soluble polysulfides produced during battery operation. In this work, a facile vacuum filtration method is employed to graft polyethyleneimine to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in a "hand-in-hand" way using the amino and catechol groups from polydopamine. The resulting polymer-reinforced rGO (PPG) film is applied as a free-standing auxiliary functional layer for Li-S batteries. It has been confirmed by both theoretical calculations and experimental methods that, benefiting from the rich amine groups and oxygen-containing functional groups, the as-prepared PPG composite film shows great ability to capture polysulfides. Moreover, its high conductivity enables itself to function as a polysulfide reservoir, thus facilitating the successive reutilization of the trapped active materials and improving sulfur utilization. For this reason, the PPG film can also be regarded as a cathode material, serving as a novel "SPPG cathode" together with the pure sulfur cathode. The cell assembled with the pure sulfur cathode and the PPG auxiliary functional layer displays high reversible capacity, excellent Coulombic efficiency, and good cycling stability, suggesting that the rational auxiliary functional layer design ensures a good match with pure sulfur cathodes and shows the potential to achieve energy-dense Li-S batteries.

Abstract
With the extensive research and development of renewable energy technologies, there is an increasing interest in developing metal-free carbons as a new class of bifunctional electrocatalysts for boosting the performance of metal-air batteries. Along with significant understanding of the electrocatalytic nature and the rapid development of techniques, the activities of carbon electrocatalysts are well-tailored by introducing particular dopants/defects and structure regulation. Herein, the recent advances regarding the rational design of carbon-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction are summarized, with a special focus on the bifunctional applications in Zn-air and Li-air batteries. Specifically, the atomic modulation strategies to regulate the electrocatalytic activities of carbons and structure modification are summarized to gain deep insights into bifunctional mechanisms and boost advanced Zn-air and Li-air batteries. The current challenges and future perspectives are also addressed to accelerate the exploration of promising bifunctional carbon catalysts for renewable energy technologies, particularly metal-air batteries.

Abstract
The development of advanced electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and evolution is of paramount significance to fuel cells, water splitting, and metal-air batteries. Heteroatom-doped carbon materials have exhibited great promise because of their excellent electrical conductivity, abundance, and superior durability. Rationally optimizing active sites of doped carbons can remarkably enhance their electrocatalytic performance. In this study, nitrogen and oxygen codoped carbon nanotubes were readily synthesized from the pyrolysis of polydopamine-carbon nanotube hybrids. Different electron microscopes, Raman spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to survey the morphological and componential properties. The newly-obtained catalyst features high-quality nitrogen and oxygen species, favourable porous structures and excellent electric conductivity, and thus exhibits remarkably bifunctional oxygen electrode activity. This research further helps to advance the knowledge of polydopamine and its potential applications as efficient electrocatalysts to replace noble metals.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) has become more prominent in leading industries. Recently, there have been intense efforts to achieve a fully functional 3D structural electronic device by integrating conductive structures into AM parts. Here, we introduce a simple approach to creating a conductive layer on a polymer AM part by CO2 laser processing. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy were employed to analyze laser-induced modifications in surface morphology and surface chemistry. The results suggest that conductive porous graphene was obtained from the AM-produced carbon precursor after the CO2 laser scanning. At a laser power of 4.5 W, the lowest sheet resistance of 15.9 Ω/sq was obtained, indicating the excellent electrical conductivity of the laser-induced graphene (LIG). The conductive graphene on the AM parts could serve as an electrical interconnection and shows a potential for the manufacturing of electronics components. An interdigital electrode capacitor was written on the AM parts to demonstrate the capability of LIG. Cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge, and cyclability testing demonstrated good electrochemical performance of the LIG capacitor. These findings may create opportunities for the integration of laser direct writing electronic and additive manufacturing.

Abstract
A graphene oxide-polydopamine-(β-cyclodextrin) (GPC) ultrafiltration membrane was fabricated by using the method of drop-coating combined with vacuum filtration. The prepared GPC membrane was characterized with FTIR and XPS spectrophotometry and evaluated for its performances for the rejection of organic molecules (methylene blue) and adsorption of trace heavy metals (Pb2+) from aqueous solutions. The membrane exhibited an excellent rejection coefficient of 99.2% for methylene blue and the permeation flux was 12 L m-2 h-1 at 0.1 bar. The membrane also exhibited fast adsorption kinetics for Pb2+ and the adsorption capacity was 101.6 mg g-1 at a solution pH of 6. The performance of the membrane could almost be completely recovered after a simple clean and regeneration process. These results indicate that the GPC membrane has potential applications in treatment of complex industrial wastewater streams.

Abstract
Inspired by mussel adhesive polydopamine (PDA), effective reinforcement of graphene-based liquid crystalline fibers to attain high mechanical and electrical properties simultaneously is presented. The two-step defect engineering, relying on bioinspired surface polymerization and subsequent solution infiltration of PDA, addresses the intrinsic limitation of graphene fibers arising from the folding and wrinkling of graphene layers during the fiber-spinning process. For a clear understanding of the mechanism of PDA-induced defect engineering, interfacial adhesion between graphene oxide sheets is straightforwardly analyzed by the atomic force microscopy pull-off test. Subsequently, PDA could be converted into an N-doped graphitic layer within the fiber structure by a mild thermal treatment such that mechanically strong fibers could be obtained without sacrificing electrical conductivity. Bioinspired graphene-based fiber holds great promise for a wide range of applications, including flexible electronics, multifunctional textiles, and wearable sensors.

Abstract
Excellent corrosion resistance is crucial for photovoltaic devices to acquire high and stable performance under high corrosive complicated environments. Creative inspiration comes from sandwich construction, whereby Fe3O4 nanoparticles were anchored onto hollow core-shell carbon mesoporous microspheres and wrapped by N-graphene nanosheets (HCCMS/Fe3O4@N-RGO) to obtain integrated high corrosive resistance and stability. The as-prepared multiple composite material possesses outstanding performance as a result of structure optimization, performance improvement, and interface synergy. Therefore, it can effectively suppress corrosion from the electrolyte in recycled tests many times, indicating the ultrahigh corrosion resistance life of this double carbon-based nanocomposite. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity and conversion efficiency of the composite are well maintained due to the triple synergistic interactions, which could serve as a guideline in establishing high-performance multifunctional HCCMS/Fe3O4@N-RGO with great prospects in energy devices, such as lithium batteries, supercapacitors and electrode materials, etc.

Abstract
Exploration of economical electrocatalysts for highly efficient and stable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is believed to be essential for diverse future renewable energy applications. Herein, cobalt sulfide nanowire core encapsulated in a N, S codoped graphitic carbon shell (CoS NWs@NSC) is successfully fabricated via the calcination of polydopamine-coated Co(CO3 )0.5 (OH)0.11 H2 O NWs with sulfur powder under argon atmosphere. The uniform encapsulation of CoS core by N, S codoped graphitic carbon shell favors the interaction of the core-shell structure for generating stable and numerous ORR active sites homogeneously dispersed throughout the materials. Meanwhile, the wire-like CoS NWs@NSC stacks to form 3D mesoporous conductive networks, which improves the mass and charge transport capability of catalyst. Accordingly, the resultant CoS NWs@NSC electrocatalysts possess excellent ORR activity through the four-electron pathway with superior stability and methanol tolerance over the Pt/C in 0.1 m KOH. This strategy can offer inspiration for designing and fabricating novel core-shell-structured nanomaterials with active sites derived from uniform morphology as potential electrocatalysts for various vital renewable energy devices.

Abstract
The exploration of highly efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline conditions is highly imperative but still remains a great challenge. In this work, the nanohybrid of carbon quantum dots and molybdenum phosphide nanoparticle (CQDs/MoP) has been firstly demonstrated as an efficient alkaline HER electrocatalyst. The CQDs/MoP nanohybrid is readily prepared through a charge-directed self-assembly of CQDs with phosphomolybdic acid (H3PMo12O40) at the molecular level, followed by facile phosphatizing at 700 °C. The introduction of CQDs greatly helps to alleviate the agglomeration and surface oxidation of MoP nanoparticles and ensures each MoP nanoparticle to be electronically addressed, thus significantly enhancing the intrinsic catalytic activity of MoP. The optimized CQDs/MoP exhibits high-efficiency synergistic catalysis toward HER in 1 M KOH electrolyte with a low onset potential of -0.08 V and a small Tafel slope of 56 mV dec-1 as well as high durability with negligible current loss for at least 24 h.

Abstract
Nitrogen containing mesoporous carbon obtained by the pyrolysis of graphene oxide (GO) wrapped ZIF-8 (Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks-8) micro crystals is demonstrated to be an efficient catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). ZIF-8 synthesis in the presence of GO sheets helped to realize layers of graphene oxide over ZIF-8 microcrystals and the sphere-like structures thus obtained, on heat treatment, transformed to highly porous carbon with a nitrogen content of about 6.12% and surface area of 502 m2/g. These catalysts with a typical micromeso porous architecture exhibited an onset potential of 0.88Vvs RHE in a four electron pathway and also demonstrated superior durability in alkaline medium compared to that of the commercial Pt/C catalyst. The N-doped porous carbon derived from GO sheathed ZIF-8 core-shell structures could therefore be employed as an efficient electrocatalyst for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
We report a novel and sensitive amperometric sensor for chlorpromazine (CPZ) based on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and polydopamine (PDA) composite modified glassy carbon electrode. The RGO@PDA composite was prepared by electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with PDA. The RGO@PDA composite modified electrode shows an excellent electro-oxidation behavior to CPZ when compared with other modified electrodes such as GO, RGO and GO@PDA. Amperometric i-t method was used for the determination of CPZ. Amperometry result shows that the RGO@PDA composite detects CPZ in a linear range from 0.03 to 967.6 μM. The sensor exhibits a low detection limit of 0.0018 μM with the analytical sensitivity of 3.63 ± 0.3 μAμM–1 cm–2. The RGO@PDA composite shows its high selectivity towards CPZ in the presence of potentially interfering drugs such as metronidazole, phenobarbital, chlorpheniramine maleate, pyridoxine and riboflavin. In addition, the fabricated RGO@PDA modified electrode showed an appropriate recovery towards CPZ in the pharmaceutical tablets.

Abstract
Heterogeneous sulphate radical based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have lately been raised as a promising candidate for water treatment. Despite the progress made, either the stability or the performance of the current catalysts is still far from satisfactory for practical applications. Herein, using polydopamine-cobalt ion complex that inspired by mussel proteins as medium, we facilely fabricate a robust SR-AOPs catalyst with cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide matrix (NRGO@Co). The NRGO scaffold with high porosity and surface area not only stabilizes the NPs but also greatly facilitates the accessibility and adsorption of substrates to the active sites. With the synergistic effect arising from the NRGO and Co NPs, the NRGO@Co hybrid catalyst exhibits enhanced catalytic activity for activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade organic pollutants in water. Furthermore, taking advantage of the favorable magnetic properties, the catalyst can be easily recycled and reused for at least 4 runs with negligible loss of activity. Coupled with systematic investigation in terms of influential factors, mineralization, and radicals identification, make the catalyst hold significant potential for application in remediation of organic pollutants in water.

Abstract
The development of a new catalyst for the low-cost, environmentally friendly and highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is important for the commercialization of fuel cells. Herein, a smart strategy was proposed for the preparation of a novel nitrogen-doped nanoporous carbon (N-PC) using resource-rich pomelo peel, a type of waste, as starting material. The typical product (N-PC-1000) possesses a high BET surface area (up to 1444.9 m2 g(-1)), porous structure and high graphitic N content. In alkaline and acidic media, the N-PC-1000 shows not only decent catalytic activities in terms of onset potential and current density, but also has excellent tolerance to methanol poisoning effects and durability. This study provides worthy inspiration for using other environmental wastes to prepare related functional carbon materials with a variety of promising practical applications such as supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries.
