Abstract
Grid-scale energy storage solutions are necessary for using renewable energy sources efficiently. A supercapattery (supercapacitor + battery) has recently been introduced as a new variety of hybrid devices that engage both capacitive and faradaic charge storage processes. Nano-chain architectures of Ni0.5Co0.5S electrode materials consisting of interconnected nano-spheres are rationally constructed by tailoring the surface structure. Nano-chains of the bimetallic sulfide Ni0.5Co0.5S are presented to have a superior charge storage capacity. The Ni0.5Co0.5S nano-chain electrode presents a capacitance of 2001.6 F g-1 at 1 mV s-1, with a specific capacity of 267 mA h g-1 (1920 F g-1) at 1 A g-1 in 4 M KOH aqueous electrolyte through the galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) method. The reason behind the high charge storage capacity of the materials is the predominant redox-mediated diffusion-controlled pseudocapacitive mechanism coupled with surface capacitance (electrosorption), as the surface (outer) and intercalative (inner) charges stored by the Ni0.5Co0.5S electrodes are close to 46.0% and 54.0%, respectively. Additionally, a Ni0.5Co0.5S//AC two electrode full cell operating in asymmetric supercapacitor cell (ASCs) mode in 4 M KOH electrolyte exhibits an impressive energy density equivalent to 257 W h kg-1 and a power density of 0.73 kW kg-1 at a current rate of 1 A g-1.

Abstract
Propelled by the widespread adoption of portable electronic devices, electrochemical energy storage systems, particularly lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), have become ubiquitous in modern society. The electrode is the critical battery component, where intricate interactions between the materials govern both the energy output and the overall lifespan of the battery under operational conditions. However, the poor interfacial properties of traditional electrode materials fall short in meeting escalating performance demands. To facilitate the advent of next-generation lithium-ion batteries, attention must be devoted to the interfacial chemistry that dictates and modulates the various dynamic and transport processes across multiple length scales within the composite electrodes. Recent research has concentrated on systematically understanding the properties of distinct electrode components to engineer meticulously tailored electrode formulations. These are geared towards composite electrodes with heightened chemical stability, thermal robustness, enhanced local conductivities, and superior mechanical resilience. This review elucidates the latest advances in understanding the impact of interfacial interactions in achieving high-capacity, high-stability electrodes. Through comprehensive insights into the interfacial interactions between the various electrode components, we can create improved integrated systems that outperform those developed through empirical methods. In light of this, the adoption of a holistic approach to enhance the interactions among electrode materials becomes of paramount importance. This concerted effort ensures the attainment of heightened rate capability, facilitation of lithium-ion transport, and overall system stability throughout the entirety of the cyclic process.

Abstract
MnOx-based nanomaterials are promising large-scale electrochemical energy storage devices due to their high specific capacity, low toxicity, and low cost. However, their slow diffusion kinetics is still challenging, restricting practical applications. Here, a one-pot and straightforward method was reported to produce Zn-doped MnOx nanowires with abundant defects and tunable small cross-sections, exhibiting an outstanding specific capacitance. More specifically, based on a facile hydrothermal strategy, zinc sites could be uniformly dispersed in the α-MnOx nanowires structure as a function of composition (0.3, 2.1, 4.3, and 7.6 wt.% Zn). Such a process avoided the formation of different crystalline phases during the synthesis. The reproducible method afforded uniform nanowires, in which the size of cross-sections decreased with the increase of Zn composition. Surprisingly, we found a volcano-type relationship between the storage performance and the Zn loading. In this case, we demonstrated that the highest performance material could be achieved by incorporating 2.1 wt.% Zn, exhibiting a remarkable specific capacitance of 1082.2 F.g-1 at a charge/discharge current density of 1.0 A g-1 in a 2.0 mol L-1 KOH electrolyte. The optimized material also afforded improved results for hybrid supercapacitors. Thus, the results presented herein shed new insights into preparing defective and controlled nanomaterials by a simple one-step method for energy storage applications.

Abstract
In recent years, researchers and politicians have become concerned about the ever-increasing energy consumption of ICT gadgets. Any effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions should take the ICT industry's carbon emissions into account, given the widespread usage of ICT products across all economic sectors. Employing Driscoll-Kraay Panel Corrected Estimators for E7 economies from 2000 to 2020, we examine the direct impacts of ICT on ecology as well as the indirect implications through connections with the availability of clean fuel and technology for cooking and trade while also adjusting for population and renewable energy. From the empirical findings, it was observed that the two proxies of ICT services (i.e., internet-penetration and mobile-subscriptions) were negatively significantly connected with E7's (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey) carbon emissions. Similarly, access to clean fuel and technologies for cooking and renewable energy decreases emission levels within the E7 economies, while trade openness and population growth increase emission levels within the said economies. Moreover, the method of moment quantile regression used as a robustness check affirms the baseline technique. According to the findings, the E7 economies can safely boost internet usage and associated technologies to lower emissions. They may lessen their negative impact on the ecosystem by increasing the utilization of renewable energy and expanding access to clean fuel and cooking technologies.

Recent progress, trends, and new challenges in the electrochemical production of green hydrogen coupled to selective electrooxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). RSC Adv 2023; 13:28307-28336. [PMID: 37753399 PMCID: PMC10519153 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra05623f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The production of clean electrical energy and the correct use of waste materials are two topics that currently concern humanity. In order to face both problems, extensive work has been done on the electrolytic production of green H2 coupled with the electrooxidative upgrading of biomass platform molecules. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is obtained from forest waste biomass and can be selectively oxidized to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) by electrochemical pathways. FDCA is an attractive precursor to polyethylene furanoate (PEF), with the potential to replace petroleum-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). An integrated electrochemical system can simultaneously produce H2 and FDCA at a lower energy cost than that required for electrolytic water splitting. Here, the benefits of the electrochemical production of H2 and FDCA over other production methods are presented, as well as the innovative applications of each reaction product and the advantages of carrying out both reactions in a coupled system. The recently reported progress is disclosed, through an exploration of electrocatalyst materials used in simultaneous production, including the use of nickel foams (NF) as modification substrates, noble and non-noble metals, metal non-oxides, metal oxides, spinel oxides and the introduction of oxygen vacancies. Based on the latest trends, the next challenges associated with its large-scale production are proposed for its implementation in the industrial world. This work can offer a guideline for the detailed understanding of the electrooxidation of HMF towards FDCA with the production of H2, as well as the design of advanced electrocatalysts for the sustainable use of renewable resources.
