Metal oxide choices, such as cobalt oxide as a preferred core and manganese oxide as a shell, are discussed. The review also highlights characterization techniques for assessing structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties of core-shell materials. Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of ongoing TMOs-based core-shell material research for supercapacitors, showcasing their potential to enhance energy storage for applications ranging from gadgets to electric vehicles. The review outlines existing challenges and future opportunities in evolving TMOs-based core-shell materials for supercapacitor advancements, holding promise for high-efficiency energy storage devices.

Abstract
Through co-precipitation and post-heat processing, nanostructured Fe-doped Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were developed. Using the SEM, XRD, BET, FTIR, TGA/DTA, UV-Vis, and techniques were examined. The XRD analysis presented that Co3O4 and Co3O4 nanoparticles that had been doped with 0.25 M Fe formed single cubic phase Co3O4 NPs with average crystallite sizes of 19.37 nm and 14.09 nm, respectively. The as prepared NPs have porous architectures via SEM analyses. The BET surface areas of Co3O4 and 0.25 M Fe-doped Co3O4 NPs were 53.06 m2/g and 351.56 m2/g, respectively. Co3O4 NPs have a band gap energy of 2.96 eV and an extra sub-band gap energy of 1.95 eV. Fe-doped Co3O4 NPs were also found to have band gap energies between 2.54 and 1.46 eV. FTIR spectroscopy was used to determine whether M-O bonds (M = Co, Fe) were present. The doping impact of iron results in the doped Co3O4 samples having better thermal characteristics. The highest specific capacitance was achieved using 0.25 M Fe-doped Co3O4 NPs at 5 mV/s, which corresponding to 588.5 F/g via CV analysis. Additionally, 0.25 M Fe-doped Co3O4 NPs had energy and power densities of 9.17 W h/kg and 472.1 W/kg, correspondingly.

Abstract
Ag doped Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via a co-precipitation method changing the concentration of Ag. The crystal structure, morphology, surface area, functional group, optical band gap, and thermal property were investigated by XRD, SEM, BET, FTIR, UV-Vis, and TGA/DTA techniques. The XRD results showed the formation of single-cubic Co3O4 nanostructured materials with an average crystal size of 19.37 nm and 12.98 nm for pristine Co3O4 and 0.25 M Ag-doped Co3O4 NPs. Morphological studies showed that pristine Co3O4 and 0.25 M Ag-doped Co3O4 NPs having a porous structure with small spherical grains, porous structures with sponge-like structures, and loosely packed porous structures, respectively. The pristine and 0.25 M Ag-doped Co3O4 NPs showed BET surface areas of 53.06 m2/g, and 407.33 m2/g, respectively. The band gap energy of Co3O4 NPs were 2.96 eV, with additional sub-bandgap energy of 1.95 eV. Additionally, it was discovered that the band gap energies of 0.25 M Ag-doped Co3O4 NPs ranged from 2.2 to 2.75 eV, with an extra sub-band with energies ranging from 1.43 to 1.94 eV for all as-prepared samples. The Ag-doped Co3O4 as prepared samples show improved thermal properties due to the doping effect of silver. The CV test confirmed that the 0.25 M Ag-doped Co3O4 NPs exhibited the highest specific capacitance value of 992.7 F/g at 5 mV/s in a 0.1 M KOH electrolyte solution. The energy density and power density of 0.25 M Ag-doped Co3O4 NPs were 27.9 W h/kg and 3816.1 W/kg, respectively.

Abstract
Ongoing efforts to design novel materials with efficient structure-property-performance relations prove challenging. Core-shell structures have emerged as novel materials with controlled production routes and highly tailorable properties that offer extensive advantages in advanced oxidation processing, particularly in photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical applications. WO3 , which is an optoelectronically active semiconductor material, is a popular material in current studies in the field of photo(electro)catalysis. Considerable progress has been made using core-shell WO3 architectures, which warrants an evaluation in terms of processing and preparedness for their use in versatile catalytic and energy storage applications. This paper presents an in-depth assessment of core-shell WO3 architectures by highlighting the design challenges and protocols in powder and thin-film chemical processing. The development of specific core-shell designs for use in targeted applications, such as H2 production, CO2 reduction, wastewater treatment, batteries, supercapacitors, and sensing, is analyzed. The fundamental role of WO3 in core-shell structures to enhance efficiency is also discussed, along with the limitations and improvement strategies. Further, the prospects of core-shell WO3 architectures in energy conversion and environmental applications are suggested.

Energized Composites for Electric Vehicles: A Dual Function Energy-Storing Supercapacitor-Based Carbon Fiber Composite for the Body Panels. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2022; 18:e2107053.

Abstract
The current electric vehicles (EVs) face many challenges like limited charge capacity, low miles/charge, and long charging times. Herein, these issues are addressed by developing a dual-function supercapacitor-based energy-storing carbon fiber reinforced polymer (e-CFRP) that can store electrical energy and function as the structural component for the EV's body shell. This is achieved by developing a unique design, vertically aligned graphene sheets attached to carbon fiber electrodes on which different metal oxides are deposited to obtain high-energy density electrodes. A high-strength multilayer e-CFRP assembly is fabricated using an alternate layer patterning configuration of epoxy and polyacrylamide gel electrolyte. The e-CFRP so developed delivers a high areal energy density of 0.31 mWh cm-2 at 0.3 mm thickness and a high tensile strength of 518 MPa, bending strength of 477 MPa, and impact strength of 2666 J m-1 . To show its application in EVs, a toy car's body panel is fabricated with e-CFRP and the toy car is able to operate using the energy stored in its frame. Moreover, when integrated with a solar cell, this composite powers an Internet of Things device, showing its feasibility in communication satellites.

Abstract
The use of nonrenewable fossil fuels for energy has increased in recent decades, posing a serious threat to human life. As a result, it is critical to build environmentally friendly and low-cost reliable and renewable energy storage solutions. The supercapacitor is a future energy device because of its higher power density and outstanding cyclic stability with a quick charge and discharge process. Supercapacitors, on the other hand, have a lower energy density than regular batteries. It is well known that the electrochemical characteristic of supercapacitors is strongly dependent on electrode materials. The current review highlights advance in the TMOs for supercapacitor electrodes. In addition, the newly discovered hybrid/pseudo-supercapacitors have been discussed. Metal oxides that are employed as electrode materials are the focus of this study. The discovery of nanostructured electrode materials continues to be a major focus of supercapacitor research. To create high-performance electrode materials from a morphological standpoint, various efforts have been attempted. Lastly, we analyze the supercapacitor’s evolving trend and our perspective for the future generations of supercapacitors.

Abstract
In the past decades, the energy consumption of nonrenewable fossil fuels has been increasing, which severely threatens human life. Thus, it is very urgent to develop renewable and reliable energy storage devices with features of environmental harmlessness and low cost. High power density, excellent cycle stability, and a fast charge/discharge process make supercapacitors a promising energy device. However, the energy density of supercapacitors is still less than that of ordinary batteries. As is known to all, the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors is largely dependent on electrode materials. In this review, we firstly introduced six typical transition metal oxides (TMOs) for supercapacitor electrodes, including RuO2, Co3O4, MnO2, ZnO, XCo2O4 (X = Mn, Cu, Ni), and AMoO4 (A = Co, Mn, Ni, Zn). Secondly, the problems of these TMOs in practical application are presented and the corresponding feasible solutions are clarified. Then, we summarize the latest developments of the six TMOs for supercapacitor electrodes. Finally, we discuss the developing trend of supercapacitors and give some recommendations for the future of supercapacitors.
