Abstract
Recently, laser-induced graphene (LIG), which has been successfully applied in CDI technology (directly without a complex preparation process), has gained considerable attention. However, the raw LIG electrode with a limited number of active sites exhibits low adsorption efficiency. Therefore, the search for a suitable and effective method to modify LIG to improve its electroadsorption performance is significant. Herein, a very simple titration hydrolysis method is adopted to modify LIG, resulting in a layer of hydrated titanium oxide (HTO) being synthesized on the surface of LIG. The LIG/HTO composites possess a good adsorption property since covering the surface of LIG with a layer of HTO can greatly improve the adsorption capacity of LIG. Moreover, with the addition of HTO, not only the proton transfer ability of LIG has been enhanced but also considerable specific capacitance has been enlarged. As a result, LIG/HTO composite as CDI electrode displays a maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of 1780.89 mg/g at 1.2 V, and the capacitance of LIG/HTO composite material is 4.74 times higher than LIG. During the electroadsorption process, Ti4+ is reduced to Ti3+ under external voltage, and O2- is produced through oxidation. Meanwhile, part of the U (VI) is hydrolyzed into UO3·2H2O under the action of -OH, and some combine with O2- to produce UO4·4H2O.

Abstract
Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs), owing to their exceptional performances in device efficiency, color purity/tunability in the visible region and solution-processing ability on various substrates, become a potential candidate for flexible and ultrathin electroluminescent (EL) lighting and display. Moreover, beyond the lighting and display, flexible QLEDs are enabled with endless possibilities in the era of the internet of things and artificial intelligence by acting as input/output ports in wearable integrated systems. Challenges remain in the development of flexible QLEDs with the goals for high performance, excellent flexibility/even stretchability, and emerging applications. In this paper, the recent developments of QLEDs including quantum dot materials, working mechanism, flexible/stretchable strategies and patterning strategies, and highlight its emerging multifunctional integrations and smart applications covering wearable optical medical devices, pressure-sensing EL devices, and neural smart EL devices, are reviewed. The remaining challenges are also summarized and an outlook on the future development of flexible QLEDs made. The review is expected to offer a systematic understanding and valuable inspiration for flexible QLEDs to simultaneously satisfy optoelectronic and flexible properties for emerging applications.

Abstract
Since it was reported in 2014, laser-induced graphene (LIG) has received growing attention for its fast speed, non-mask, and low-cost customizable preparation, and has shown its potential in the fields of wearable electronics and biological sensors that require high flexibility and versatility. Laser-induced graphene has been successfully prepared on various substrates with contents from various carbon sources, e.g., from organic films, plants, textiles, and papers. This paper reviews the recent progress on the state-of-the-art preparations and applications of LIG including mechanical sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, electrochemical sensors, electrophysiological sensors, heaters, and actuators. The achievements of LIG based devices for detecting diverse bio-signal, serving as monitoring human motions, energy storage, and heaters are highlighted here, referring to the advantages of LIG in flexible designability, excellent electrical conductivity, and diverse choice of substrates. Finally, we provide some perspectives on the remaining challenges and opportunities of LIG.

Abstract
This study demonstrates a novel application of laser-induced graphene (LIG) as a reusable conductive particulate matter (PM) filter. Four types of LIG-based filters were fabricated based on the laser-induced pyrolysis of thin polyimide (PI) sheets, each pyrolyzed on either a single side or both sides, with or without densification. The LIG filters exhibited a high removal efficiency while maintaining minimal pressure drop compared to a commercial fiberglass filter. The densified LIG (dLIG) filters displayed a higher PM2.5 removal efficiency (>99.86%) than regular LIG filters. The dLIG filters also exhibited excellent durability when tested for washability by ultrasonication in tap water. After being cleaned and left to dry, the structures of the dLIG filters were well-maintained; their filtration efficiencies were also well-maintained (less than a 7% change in PM2.5 removal efficiency), and their resistances only marginally increased (less than a 7% increase after five uses). These results demonstrate the robustness and reusability of the dLIG filters and the accessibility of their cleaning (not requiring aggressive cleaning agents). These promising features will enable the application of LIG in economical, scalable, and high-performance air cleaning.
