Abstract
A class of electrode materials with favorable structures and compositions and powerful electrochemical (EC) properties are needed to boost the supercapacitor capacity significantly. In this study, an inventive technique was established to produce a well-aligned nickel-cobalt alloy nanoparticles-encapsulated N-doped carbon nanotubes with porous structure and good conductivity on carbon cloth (NiCo@NCNTs/CC) as a substrate. Then, nanosheets of nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) were grown on NiCo@NCNTs/CC via a simple EC deposition method to construct a self-supported monolithic hierarchical nanosheets/nanotubes composite electrode of NiCo-LDH/NiCo@NCNTs/CC. In such a composite electrode, the NiCo@NCNTs can act as a good conductor and structural scaffold to grow NiCo-LDH nanosheets with a three-dimensional open and porous structure, which helps to improve the electron/ion-transfer performance, increase the number of exposed reactive sites, and inhibit the aggregation of NiCo-LDH nanosheets, thereby boosting the capacitance and stability. As a positive electrode, the NiCo-LDH/NiCo@NCNTs/CC hierarchical nanosheets/nanotubes electrode displays 1898 mF cm-2 (1262 A g-1) of high capacitance, long-term stability with a capacitance retention of around 100% after 8000 cycles, and nearly 103% Coulombic efficiency. After assembling into an asymmetric supercapacitor with a Co(OH)2/NiCo@NCNTs/CC negative electrode, 2 V of operating voltage with 73.1 μW h cm-2 (52.8 W h kg-1) of energy density was achieved. Our investigation gives a potential approach for constructing the integrated composite electrode of transition-metal compounds-carbon materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
To address the longstanding issue of conventional supercapacitors, viz. their energy and power deliveries are largely attenuated by the poor packing density of particularly the active electrodes, an ultracompact yet porous monolithic electrode is put forward in the present study. Particularly, it is built on electroactive α'-NaxV2O5 with the areal mass loading amounting to 33.24 mg cm-2 densely packed into a 330-μm-thick carbon cloth and more importantly, with a hierarchical meso-/nano-pore structure in favor of the ion transport throughout this 330 μm-thick α'-NaxV2O5/CC heavy electrode. In such context, a series of superior performances including the areal, gravimetric and volumetric capacitances reaching 12.47 F cm-2, 375.2 F g-1 and 377.93 F cm-3, and the energy and power densities amounting to 1.38 mW h cm-2 and 34.1 mW cm-2 are successfully delivered by this compact monolith at the electrode- and device-level, respectively, altogether outperforming significantly those of additional modern and promising electrodes and energy storage devices reported in the literature.

Abstract
Capacity reduction mainly caused by the shuttle effect and low conductivity restricts the commercial application of lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein, we developed a method to overcome these two obstacles synchronously by designing nitrogenous carbon decorated hollow Co3-xMnxO4/C nanocages as hosts of sulfur. These hosts were derived from manganese doped ZIF-67 by a facile sintering method, which provided polar surface to anchor lithium polysulfides and considerable electronic conductivity. The polar material Co3-xMnxO4 and special hollow frame contribute to efficient synergistic sulfur-fixation, resulting in great cycling stabilities. The manganese elements ensure an efficient conversion among LSPs. At the same time, N-doped carbon provides excellent electrical conductivity, thereby leading to splendid rate performances. Thus, a battery with great stability and high capacity could be achieved. As a result, Co3-xMnxO4/C/S with 66 wt% sulfur content delivered a high initial capacity of 1082 mA h g-1 at 1C, together with a slow average capacity decay of 0.056% per cycle at 10C over 500 cycles. When the average sulfur loading is 1.3 mg cm-2, a capacity of 628 mA h g-1 can be maintained at 5C after 500 cycles.

Abstract
Porous carbon electrodes that accumulate charges at the electrode/electrolyte interface have been extensively investigated for use as electrochemical capacitor (EC) electrodes because of their great attributes for driving high-performance energy storage. Here, we report porous carbon nanofibers (p-CNFs) for EC electrodes made by the formation of a composite of monodisperse silica nanoparticles and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), oxidation/carbonization of the composite, and then silica etching. The pore features are controlled by changing the weight ratio of PAN to silica nanoparticles. The electrochemical performances of p-CNF as an electrode are estimated by measuring cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge. Particularly, the p-CNF electrode shows exceptional areal capacitance (13 mF cm-2 at a current of 0.5 mA cm-2), good rate-retention capability (~98% retention of low-current capacitance), and long-term cycle stability for at least 5000 charge/discharge cycles. Based on the results, we believe that this electrode has potential for use as high-performance EC electrodes.

Abstract
Nowadays, transition-metal oxides are regarded as the most potential materials for the supercapacitor and electrocatalyst. However, the poor electrical conductivity and insufficient active sites limited their development in various fields. Herein, we report the method of phosphorous-doped NiCo2O4 (named as P-NCO) prepared by the two-step strategy: the NiCo2O4 nanostructure is grown on the nickel foams by hydrothermal treatment and subsequently phosphatized in a tube furnace. Successfully, the rich oxygen vacancies and the P element introduced into the NiCo2O4 structure obviously improve the electrical conductivity, and the resulting P-NCO NWs/NF material shows an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 2747.8 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 and a prominent rate performance (maintain 50% at 100 A g-1). Furthermore, the assembled P-NCO NWs/NF//RGO asymmetric supercapacitor has an energy density of 28.2 W h kg-1 even at a high power density of 7750.35 W kg-1. After 10,000 cycles, the capacitance still also has an 88.48% retention rate. As an electrocatalyst, P-NCO NWs/NF has an excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (55 mV at 10 mA cm-2) and oxygen evolution reaction (300 mV at 10 mA cm-2) activities in 1 M KOH solution. This study provides an effective strategy to prepare multifunctional materials.

Abstract
Graphene is a 2D sheet of sp2 bonded carbon atoms and tends to aggregate together, due to the strong π-π stacking and van der Waals attraction between different layers. Its unique properties such as a high specific surface area and a fast mass transport rate are severely blocked. To address these issues, various kinds of 2D holey graphene and 3D porous graphene are either self-assembled from graphene layers or fabricated using graphene related materials such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide. Porous graphene not only possesses unique pore structures, but also introduces abundant exposed edges and accelerates mass transfer. The properties and applications of these porous graphenes and their composites/hybrids have been extensively studied in recent years. Herein, recent progress and achievements in synthesis and functionalization of various 2D holey graphene and 3D porous graphene are reviewed. Of special interest, electrochemical applications of porous graphene and its hybrids in the fields of electrochemical sensing, electrocatalysis, and electrochemical energy storage, are highlighted. As the closing remarks, the challenges and opportunities for the future research of porous graphene and its composites are discussed and outlined.
