Abstract
Plastics are a vital component of our daily lives in the contemporary globalization period; they are present in all facets of modern life. Because the bulk of synthetic plastics utilized in the market are non-biodegradable by nature, the issues associated with their contamination are unavoidable in an era dominated by polymers. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is extensively used in industries such as automotive, packaging, textile, food, and beverages production represents a major share of these non-biodegradable polymer productions. Given its extensive application across various sectors, PET usage results in a considerable amount of post-consumer waste, majority of which require disposal after a certain period. However, the recycling of polymeric waste materials has emerged as a prominent topic in research, driven by growing environmental consciousness. Numerous studies indicate that products derived from polymeric waste can be converted into a new polymeric resource in diverse sectors, including organic coatings and regenerative medicine. This review aims to consolidate significant scientific literatures on the recycling PET waste for electrochemical device applications. It also highlights the current challenges in scaling up these processes for industrial application.

Abstract
The most appealing and prominent approach for improving energy storage and conversion performance is the development of heterojunction interfaces with efficient and unique metal oxide nanostructures. Rhombus Co3O4, nanocapsule CuO, and their heterojunction composites were synthesized using a single-step hydrothermal process. The resulting heterojunction Co3O4-CuO nanocomposite outperformed the pristine Co3O4 and CuO nanostructures for the electrochemical supercapacitor and water splitting performances. The composite showed 2.4 and 1.3 times higher specific capacitance than the associated pristine CuO and Co3O4 nanostructures, while its capacitance was 395 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. In addition, long-term GCD results with more than 90% stability and significant capacity retention at higher scan rates revealed the unaffected structures interfaced during the electrochemical reactions. The composite photoelectrode demonstrated more than 20% of photocurrent response with light illumination than the dark condition in water splitting. Co3O4-CuO heterostructured composite electrode showed a 0.16 mA/cm2 photocurrent density, which is 3.2 and 1.7 times higher than the pristine CuO and Co3O4 electrodes, respectively. This performance was attributed to its unique structural composition, high reactive sites, strong ion diffusion, and fast electron accessibility. Electron microscopic and spectroscopic techniques confirmed the properties of the electrodes as well as their morphological properties. Overall, the heterojunction interface with novel rhombus and capsule structured architectures showed good electrochemical performance, suggesting their energy storage and conversion applications.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) with high safety and low cost are considered to be one of the alternatives to Li-ion batteries. In recent years, AZIBs have become a research hotspot, mainly focusing on the research of cathode, anode and electrolyte. Although many efforts have been made in cathode materials, their low specific capacity and poor cycle life remain unsolved. In fact, side reactions of zinc metal anodes, such as dendrite growth, zinc corrosion, and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), are also the main factors restricting the electrochemical performance of AZIBs. In this review, we first discuss the fundamental of these adverse reactions. Then, the various solution strategies are summarized based on advanced materials and structural design. It includes surface modification and the internal structure optimization of Zn electrodes, the regulation of electrolytes and separators. Finally, we propose the future challenges and development prospects of zinc anode.

Abstract
Bimetallic oxide nanostructures (NS) of Gdx: α-Sb2O4 (x = 5, 8, 10 wt.%) emerged as novel electrode material for batteries as they exhibit large specific capacity and cyclic stability. Crystal structure of Gd: α-Sb2O4 NS investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and identified as mixed orthorhombic phase. Surface chemical composition, binding energies of the metal oxides and incorporation of Gd into α-Sb2O4 NS analysed by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectral) studies. Microstructure analysis reveals that distinctive flower/flake like arrays with agglomeration. Morphology, structure and physical/chemical properties of the resulting nanostructure were analysed by SEM (scanning electron microscopy), SEM-EDX (scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller), XPS, UV-Visible and XRD studies. Electrochemical performances of Gdx: α-Sb2O4 (x = 10 wt.%) in 6 M KOH aqueous solution dipped in three electrode system evaluated by CV (cyclic voltammetry), GCD (galvanostatic charge-discharge) and EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) measurements. The as-synthesized NS exhibited higher specific capacitance of 958 mAh/g at a current density of 0.15 A/g and excellent cyclic stability with 86.5% capacitive retention after 1000 cycles. Distinctive flower/flake like structure, large surface area, and abundant active sites of Gdx: α-Sb2O4 NS could be the reason for significant increase in charge transfer and storage. In brief this work offers facile method to synthesize Gdx: α-Sb2O4 NS are promising electrode materials for potential applications in high performance super capacitor.

Abstract
Perovskite oxides, as a kind of functional materials, have been widely studied in recent years due to its unique physical, chemical, and electrical properties. Here, we successfully prepared perovskite-type LaCoO3 (LCOs) nanomaterials via an improved sol-gel method followed by calcination, and investigated the influence of calcination temperature and time on the morphology, structure, and electrochemical properties of LaCoO3 nanomaterials. Then, based on the optimal electrochemical performance of LCO-700-4 electrode sample, the newly synthesized nanocomposites of Sr-doping (LSCO-0.2) and rGO-compounding (rGO@LCO) through rational design exhibited a 1.45-fold and 2.03-fold enhancement in its specific capacitance (specific capacity). The rGO@LCO electrode with better electrochemical performances was further explored by assembling rGO@LCO//rGO asymmetric supercapacitor system (ASS) with aqueous electrolyte. The result showed that the ASS delivers a high energy density of 17.62 W h kg-1 and an excellent cyclic stability with 94.48% of initial capacitance after 10,000 cycles, which are good electrochemical performances among aqueous electrolytes for green and new efficient energy storage devices.

Abstract
Herein, we propose a new highly porous natural carbon material from renewable and inexpensive jujube fruits as a carbon source applied in supercapacitors. The combination of pre-carbonization and chemical activation approaches is employed to product hierarchical porous carbon from natural jujube fruits. The specific surface area of the prepared porous carbon is increased from 85.4 to 1135 m2 g-1 after the completion of NaOH activation at an optimized condition, which is beneficial to enhancing electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. A 3-electrode configuration was utilized to explore the electrochemical ability of porous carbon in 6 M KOH electrolyte. The acquired results demonstrate that porous carbon displays the specific capacitance of 587, 460 and 324 F g-1 at 0.1, 1 and 100 A g-1, respectively, which is confirmed by its admirable capacitance and rate behaviors. The porous carbon also shows a wonderful durability with a capacitance retention of 92.2% after 130,000 cycles at 50 A g-1. Moreover, the assembled symmetrical coin-like supercapacitors with wide potential window of 2.5 V in 1 M Et4NBF4/AN organic electrolyte offer a high energy density of 23.7 Wh kg-1 at 0.629 kW kg-1 with remaining 94% capacitance over 10,000 cycles at 30 A g-1, indicating its practical application prospect. As a result, the present study proves the natural jujube fruits is a promising sustainable carbon source for making more economical and efficient electrode material of high performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
Recent studies advocate the use of cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) as a sustainable carbohydrate polymer in numerous innovative electronics for their quintessential features such as flexibility, low thermal expansion and self-/directed assembly within multiphase matrices. Herein, we review the contemporary advances in CN-built electrochemical systems and highlight the constructive effects of these nanoscopic entities once engineered in conductive composites, proton exchange membranes (PEMs), electrochromics, energy storage devices and piezoelectric sensors. The adopted strategies and designs are discussed in view of CN roles as copolymer, electrolyte reservoir, binder and separator. Finally, physiochemical attributes and durability of resulting architectures are compared to conventional materials and the possible challenges/solutions are delineated to realize the promising capabilities. The volume of the up-to-present literature in the field indeed implies to nanocellulose overriding importance and the presented angles perhaps shed more lights on prospect of the biosphere's most dominant biomaterial in the energy-related arena that deserve attention.
