Enhancement of zinc-ion storage capability by synergistic effects on dual-ion adsorption in hierarchical porous carbon for high-performance aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 667:700-712. [PMID: 38670013 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion capacitors (AZICs) are considered potential energy storage devices thanks to their ultrahigh power density, high safety, and extended cycling life. Carbon-based materials widely used as cathodes in AZICs face challenges, such as inappropriate pore sizes, poor electrolyte-electrode wettability, and insufficient vacancy defects and active sites. These limitations hinder efficient energy storage capacity and long-term stability. To address these issues, the B and F co-doped hierarchical porous carbon cathode materials (BFPC) are constructed through a facile annealing treatment process. The BFPC-2//Zn device exhibited high capacities of 222.4 and 118.3 mAh g-1 at current densities of 0.2 and 10 A g-1, respectively. Notably, the BFPC-2//Zn device demonstrated long-term cycling stability with a high capacity retention of 96.9 % after 20,000 cycles at 10 A g-1. Additionally, the assembled BFPC-2 based AZICs displayed a maximum energy density of 175.8 Wh kg-1 and an ultrahigh power density of 17.3 kW kg-1. Mechanism studies revealed that the exceptional energy storage ability and charge-transfer process of the BFPC cathode are attributed to the synergistic effect of B and F heteroatoms and the coupling effect between vacancy defects and pore size. This work presents a novel design strategy by incorporating B and F active sites into hierarchical porous carbon materials, providing enhanced energy storage capabilities for practical application in AZICs.

Abstract
In this work, a bimetallic sulfide-coupled graphene hybrid was designed and constructed for capacitive energy storage. The hybrid structure involved decorating copper-cobalt-sulfide (CuCo2S4) nanoparticles onto graphene layers, with the nanoparticles anchored within the graphene layers, forming a hybrid energy storage system. In this hybrid structure, rGO can work as the substrate and current collector to support the uniform distribution of the nanoparticles and provides efficient transportation of electrons into and out of the electrode. In the meantime, CuCo2S4-active materials are expected to offer an evident enhancement in electrochemical activities, due to the rich valence change provided by Cu and Co. Benefiting from the integrated structure of CuCo2S4 nanoparticles and highly conductive graphene substrates, the prepared CuCo2S4@rGO electrode exhibited a favorable capacitive performance in 1 M KOH. At 1 A g-1, CuCo2S4@rGO achieved a specific capacitance of 410 F g-1. The capacitance retention at 8 A g-1 was 70% of that observed at 1 A g-1, affirming the material's excellent rate capability. At the current density of 5 A g-1, the electrode underwent 10,000 charge-discharge cycles, retaining 98% of its initial capacity, which indicates minimal capacity decay and showcasing excellent cycling performance.

Abstract
Due to ever-increasing global energy demands and dwindling resources, there is a growing need to develop materials that can fulfil the World's pressing energy requirements. Electrochemical energy storage devices have gained significant interest due to their exceptional storage properties, where the electrode material is a crucial determinant of device performance. Hence, it is essential to develop 3-D hierarchical materials at low cost with precisely controlled porosity and composition to achieve high energy storage capabilities. After presenting the brief updates on porous carbons (PCs), then this review will focus on the nitrogen (N) doped porous carbon materials (NPC) for electrochemical supercapacitors as the NPCs play a vital role in supercapacitor applications in the field of energy storage. Therefore, this review highlights recent advances in NPCs, including developments in the synthesis of NPCs that have created new methods for controlling their morphology, composition, and pore structure, which can significantly enhance their electrochemical performance. The investigated N-doped materials a wide range of specific surface areas, ranging from 181.5 to 3709 m2 g-1 , signifies a substantial increase in the available electrochemically active surface area, which is crucial for efficient energy storage. Moreover, these materials display notable specific capacitance values, ranging from 58.7 to 754.4 F g-1 , highlighting their remarkable capability to effectively store electrical energy. The outstanding electrochemical performance of these materials is attributed to the synergy between heteroatoms, particularly N, and the carbon framework in N-doped porous carbons. This synergy brings about several beneficial effects including, enhanced pseudo-capacitance, improved electrical conductivity, and increased electrochemically active surface area. As a result, these materials emerge as promising candidates for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. The challenges and outlook in NPCs for supercapacitor applications are also presented. Overall, this review will provide valuable insights for researchers in electrochemical energy storage and offers a basis for fabricating highly effective and feasible supercapacitor electrodes.

Distinguished Roles of Nitrogen-Doped Sp 2 and Sp 3 Hybridized Carbon on Extraordinary Supercapacitance in Acidic Aqueous Electrolyte. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023:e2310422.

Abstract
The acidic aqueous supercapacitors have been found to deliver appealing capacitive properties due to fast ion diffusion caused by the applied smallest size of hydrion. However, their practical applications are largely inhibited by the narrow electrochemical stability window of water (1.23 V). Herein, A nitrogen-enriched porous carbon materials (RNOPCs) is reported, consisting of varied nitrogen doping bonded on sp2 and sp3 carbon sites, which are capable of stimulating a wider potential window up to 1.4 V and thus resulting in a great enhancement of capacitive performance in aqueous acidic electrolytes. Together with the improved electrical conductivity and preferable hydrion diffusion, RNOPCs exhibit an ultrahigh volumetric capacitance (1084 F cm-3 ) in 0.5 M H2 SO4 . Besides, a fully packed RNOPCs-based symmetrical supercapacitor can deliver a high gravimetric and volumetric energy density of 31.8 Wh Kg-1 and 54.3 Wh L-1 respectively, approaching those of lead acid batteries (25-35 Wh Kg-1 ). The first-principles calculations reveal that the lone pair electrons of the doped nitrogen can be delocalized on its neighboring carbon atoms, improving charge uptakes and overpotentials. Such facile and scale-up production of carbon-based supercapacitors can bridge the gap of energy density between traditional supercapacitors and batteries in aqueous electrolytes.

Abstract
Carbon neutrality calls for renewable energies, and the efficient use of renewable energies requires energy storage mediums that enable the storage of excess energy and reuse after spatiotemporal reallocation. Compared with traditional energy storage technologies, mobile energy storage technologies have the merits of low cost and high energy conversion efficiency, can be flexibly located, and cover a large range from miniature to large systems and from high energy density to high power density, although most of them still face challenges or technical bottlenecks. In this review, we provide an overview of the opportunities and challenges of these emerging energy storage technologies (including rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, and electrochemical and dielectric capacitors). Innovative materials, strategies, and technologies are highlighted. Finally, the future directions are envisioned. We hope this review will advance the development of mobile energy storage technologies and boost carbon neutrality.

Abstract
Despite tremendous efforts that have been dedicated to high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices (EESDs), traditional electrode fabrication processes still face the daunting challenge of limited energy/power density or compromised mechanical compliance. 3D thick electrodes can maximize the utilization of z-axis space to enhance the energy density of EESDs but still suffer from limitations in terms of poor mechanical stability and sluggish electron/ion transport. Direct ink writing (DIW), an eminent branch of 3D printing technology, has gained popularity in the manufacture of 3D electrodes with intricately designed architectures and rationally regulated porosity, promoting a triple boost in areal mass loading, ion diffusion kinetics, and mechanical flexibility. This focus review highlights the fundamentals of printable inks and typical configurations of 3D-printed devices. In particular, preparation strategies for high-performance and multifunctional 3D-printed EESDs are systemically discussed and classified according to performance evaluation metrics such as high areal energy density, high power density, high volumetric energy density, and mechanical flexibility. Challenges and prospects for the fabrication of high-performance 3D-printed EESDs are outlined, aiming to provide valuable insights into this thriving field.

Abstract
Demand for high-performance energy storage devices is growing tremendously. Supercapacitors possess an excellent candidature to fulfill the energy storage requisites such as high energy density when compared to conventional capacitors, high power density, and cycling stability as compared to batteries, though not only for large-scale devices for higher energy/power density applications but also for macro- to microdevices for miniaturized electrical components. With the aid of various routes, many materials have been explored with well-tuned properties with controlled surface architecture through various preparative parameters to find those best suited for supercapacitive electrodes. Growth of a thin film can be accomplished through chemical or physical (vacuum-assisted) routes. Vacuum-assisted (physical) growth yields high purity, precise dimensions with a line-of-sight deposition, along with high adhesion between the film and the substrates, and hence, these techniques are necessary to manufacture many macro- to microscale supercapacitor devices. Still, much effort has not been put forth to explore vacuum-assisted techniques to fabricate supercapacitive electrodes and energy storage applications. The present review explores the first comprehensive report on the growth of widespread materials through vacuum-assisted physical deposition techniques inclusive of thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation, sputtering, and laser beam ablation toward supercapacitive energy storage applications on one platform. The theoretical background of nucleation and growth through physical deposition, optimization of process parameters, and characterization to supercapacitor applications from macro- to microscale devices has been well explored to a provide critical analysis with literature-reviewed materials. The review ends with future challenges to bring out upcoming prospects to further enhance supercapacitive performance, as much work and materials need to be explored through these routes.

Abstract
The development of scientific and technological foundations for the creation of high-performance energy storage devices is becoming increasingly important due to the rapid development of microelectronics, including flexible and wearable microelectronics. Supercapacitors are indispensable devices for the power supply of systems requiring high power, high charging-discharging rates, cyclic stability, and long service life and a wide range of operating temperatures (from -40 to 70 °C). The use of printing technologies gives an opportunity to move the production of such devices to a new level due to the possibility of the automated formation of micro-supercapacitors (including flexible, stretchable, wearable) with the required type of geometric implementation, to reduce time and labour costs for their creation, and to expand the prospects of their commercialization and widespread use. Within the framework of this review, we have focused on the consideration of the key commonly used supercapacitor electrode materials and highlighted examples of their successful printing in the process of assembling miniature energy storage devices.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets have been assembled into various macroscopic structures for wide engineering applications. To fully explore their exceptional thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties, 2D nanosheets must be aligned into highly ordered structures due to their strong structural anisotropy. Structures stacked layer by layer such as films and fibers have been readily assembled from 2D nanosheets due to their planar geometry. However, scalable manufacturing of macroscopic structures with vertically aligned 2D nanosheets remains challenging, given their large lateral size with a thickness of only a few nanometers. Herein, we report a scalable and efficient microfluidics-enabled sheet-aligning process to assemble 2D nanosheets into a large-area film with a highly ordered vertical alignment. By applying microchannels with a high aspect ratio, 2D nanosheets were well aligned vertically under strong channel size confinement and high flow shear stress. A vertically aligned graphene sheet film was obtained and applied to effectively improve the heat transfer of thermal interfacial materials (TIMs). Superior through-plane thermal conductivity of 82.7 W m-1 K-1 at a low graphene content of 11.8 vol% was measured for vertically aligned TIMs. Thus, they demonstrate exceptional thermal management performance for switching power supplies with high reliability.

Abstract
The constructing of artificial channels with gating functions is an important undertaking for gaining insight into biological process and achieving efficient bionic functions. Typically, controllable transport within such channels relies on either electrostatic or specific interactions between the transporting species and the channel. However, for molecules with weak interactions with the channel, achieving precise gating of the transport remains a significant challenge. In this regard, this study proposes a voltage gating membrane of two-dimensional channels that selectively transport of neutral molecules glucose with a dimension of 0.60 nm. The permeation of glucose is switched on/off by electrochemically manipulating the water dynamics in the nanochannel. Voltage driven-intercalation of ion into the two-dimensional channel causes water to stratify and move closer to the channel walls, thereby resulting in the channel center being emptier for glucose diffusion. Due to the sub-nanometer size dimension of the channel, selective permeation of glucose over sucrose is also achieved in this approach.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are essential for electrochemical energy storage because of their high-power density, good cycle stability, fast charging and discharging rates, and low maintenance cost. Macrocycles, including cucurbiturils, calixarene, and cyclodextrins, are cage-like organic compounds (with a nanocavity that contains O and N heteroatoms) with unique potential in supercapacitors. Here, we review the applications of macrocycles in supercapacitor systems, and we illustrate the merits of organic macrocycles in electrodes and electrolytes for improving the electrochemical double-layer capacitors and pseudocapacitance via supramolecular strategies. Then, the observed relationships between electrochemical performance and macrocyclic structures are introduced. This comprehensive review describes recent progress on macrocycle-block supercapacitors for researchers.

Abstract
Electrochemical behavior of novel electrode materials based on polydiphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (PDPAC) binary and ternary nanocomposite coatings was studied for the first time. Nanocomposite materials were obtained in acidic or alkaline media using oxidative polymerization of diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid (DPAC) in the presence of activated IR-pyrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (IR-PAN-a) only or IR-PAN-a and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). Hybrid electrodes are electroactive layers of stable suspensions of IR-PAN-a/PDPAC and IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPAC nanocomposites in formic acid (FA) formed on the flexible strips of anodized graphite foil (AGF). Specific capacitances of electrodes depend on the method for the production of electroactive coatings. Electrodes specific surface capacitances Cs reach 0.129 and 0.161 F∙cm-2 for AGF/IR-PAN-a/PDPACac and AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACac, while for AGF/IR-PAN-a/PDPACalk and AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACalk Cs amount to 0.135 and 0.151 F∙cm-2. Specific weight capacitances Cw of electrodes with ternary coatings reach 394, 283, 180 F∙g-1 (AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACac) and 361, 239, 142 F∙g-1 (AGF/IR-PAN-a/SWCNT/PDPACalk) at 0.5, 1.5, 3.0 mA·cm-2 in an aprotic electrolyte. Such hybrid electrodes with electroactive nanocomposite coatings are promising as a cathode material for SCs.

Abstract
Transition-metal-oxide-based electrochemical electrodes usually suffer from poor electron and ion transport, leading to deteriorated rate performance and cycling stability. Herein, we address these issues by developing a facile "conducting encapsulation" strategy toward a nanoporous PEDOT nanowire/MnO2 nanoparticle/PEDOT nanowire composite electrode. Through encapsulation of the PEDOT nanowire network, the overall electrochemical performance of the resultant composite electrode is substantially enhanced. Specifically, the rate capability and capacitance retention are improved by ∼48.2 and ∼33%, respectively, which are 89.8% at 0.8-40 mA/cm2 and 93% after 3000 charge/discharge cycles at 2.0 mA/cm2, respectively. Moreover, the specific capacitance is increased by ∼6 times of that of the MnO2@PEDOT NW electrode at ∼200 mA/cm2. We find that a nanoporous conducting nanowire network that encapsulates a MnO2 nanoparticle layer can provide efficient electron and ion transport paths and stabilize the structure of MnO2 from collapse during charge/discharge cycling and mechanical deformation. This strategy can be applied to other pseudocapacitive material-based electrochemical electrodes, such as transition-metal oxides and conducting polymers.

Abstract
Fast ion diffusion in anode hosts enabling uniform distribution of Li/Na/K is essential for achieving dendrite-free alkali-metal batteries. Common strategies, e.g. expanding the interlayer spacing of anode materials, can enhance bulk diffusion of Li but are less efficient for Na and K due to their larger ionic radius. Herein, a universal strategy to drastically improve the mass-transport efficiency of Na/K by introducing open mesochannels in carbon hosts is proposed. Such pore engineering can increase the accessible surface area by one order of magnitude, thus remarkably accelerating surface diffusion, as visualized by in situ transmission electron microscopy. In particular, once the mesochannels are filled by the Na/K metals, they become the superfast channels for mass transport via the mechanism of interfacial diffusion. Thus-modified carbon hosts enable Na/K filling in their inner cavities and uniform deposition across the whole electrodes with fast kinetics. The resulting Na-metal anodes can exhibit stable dendrite-free cycling with outstanding rate performance at a high current density of up to 30 mA cm-2 . This work presents an inspiring attempt to address the sluggish transport issue of Na/K, as well as valuable insights into the mass-transport mechanism in porous anodes for high-performance alkali-metal storage.

Abstract
Hierarchical porous carbons equipped with heteroatoms and diffusion pores have a wide application prospect in adsorption. Herein, we report N-autodoped porous carbons (PTPACs), which were derived from rigid N-rich conjugated microporous poly(aniline)s (CMPAs) and show their all-around applicability in heavy metal adsorption. Their molecular structure could be delicately tuned from 3D organic networks to graphitic carbons through simply adjusting the pyrolysis temperature, affording unique hybrid features of hierarchical micro-meso-macroporosity and amount-tunable nitrogen defects, as validated by the enhanced CO2 adsorption capacities reaching 5.0 mmol g-1, a 230% increase compared to the precursor (2.15 mmol g-1). They therefore show promising a Langmuir adsorption capacity of 434.8 mg g-1 toward mercury ions, which could be rapidly achieved within a short 20 min. Based on the comprehensive experimental, characterization, and DFT calculation studies, we rationally reveal these impressive adsorptions arise from the hybrid function of chemisorption contributed by populated nitrogen defects and physical adsorption achieved by synergistic functions in the diffusion and storage pores. Outcomes mark the high merits of PTPACs in addressing recent global challenges in environmental engineering.

Abstract
Biomass-based carbon nanofibers (CNF) were synthesized using lignin extracted from sawdust and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) (30:70) with the help of the electrospinning method and subsequent stabilization at 220 °C and carbonization at 800, 900, and 1000 °C. The synthesized CNFs were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. The temperature effect shows that CNF carbonized at 800 °C has excellent stability at different current densities and high capacitance. CNF 800 in the first test cycle at a current density of 100 mA/g shows an initial capacity of 798 mAh/g and an initial coulomb efficiency of 69.5%. The CNF 900 and 1000 show an initial capacity of 668 mAh/g and 594 mAh/g, and an initial Coulomb efficiency of 52% and 51%. With a long cycle (for 500 cycles), all three samples at a current density of 500 mA/g show stable cycling in different capacities (CNF 800 in the region of 300-400 mAh/g, CNF 900 and 1000 in the region of 100-200 mAh/g).

Abstract
Biochars are considered as promising materials in energy storage and environmental remediation because of their unique physicochemical properties and low cost. However, the fabrication of multifunctional biochar materials with a well-developed hierarchical porous structure as well as self-doped functionalities via a facile strategy remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a heteroatom-doped porous biochar, prepared by a hydrothermal pretreatment followed by a molten salt activation route. With the creation of a high specific surface area (1501.9 m2/g), a hierarchical porous structure, and the incorporation of oxygen-/nitrogen-functional groups, the as-prepared biochar (BC-24) exhibits great potential for supercapacitor application and organic pollutant elimination. The assembled biochar electrode delivers a specific capacitance of 378 F/g at 0.2 A/g with a good rate capability of 198 F/g at 10 A/g, and excellent cycling stability with 94.5% capacitance retention after 10,000 recycles. Moreover, BC-24 also exhibits superior catalytic activity for phenol degradation through peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation. The phenol (0.2 mM) can be effectively absorbed and then completely degraded within only 25 min over a wide pH range with low catalyst and PDS dosages. More importantly, TOC analysis indicates 81.7% of the phenol is mineralized within 60 min, confirming the effectiveness of the BC-24/PDS system. Quenching experiments and EPR measurements reveal that SO4·− and ·OH as well as 1O2 are involved in the phenol degradation, while the non-radical pathway plays the dominant role. This study provides valuable insights into the preparation of cost-effective carbon materials for supercapacitor application and organic contaminant remediation.

Abstract
Fiber-based supercapacitors (F-SCs) have inspired widespread interest in the fields of wearable technology, energy, and carbon neutralization due to their highly deformable flexibility, fast charging/discharging capability, long-term stability, and energy conservation ability. In this review, we summarize the latest developments for fabricating fibrous electrodes of F-SCs where advanced micro two-dimensional (2D) building blocks (e.g., MXene and graphene) are chemically assembled and constructed into ordered mesofibers and multifunctional macrofabrics. Diverse fundamental principles of 2D hybrid nanosheets with respect to surface controls, pseudocapacitive modifications, and microstructural manipulations, promoting rapid electron transfer and charge conduction, are introduced. Additionally, various spinning methods for assembling and fabricating sophisticated fibers with advanced nano/microstructures, including hierarchical skeletons, anisotropic backbones, surface/entire porous frameworks, and vertical-aligned networks, for boosting ionic kinetic transport/storage are presented. Likewise, the structure-activity relationships between the porous structure and electrochemical performance are clarified. Moreover, multifunctional fabrics in terms of high flexibilities/strengths, superior electrical conductivities, and stabilized operations, which realize large energy density, deformable capability, and robust stability under harsh conditions, are emphasized. In particular, the potential power-supply applications, including flexible electronic devices, self-powered functions, and energy-sensor systems, are highlighted. Finally, a short conclusion and outlook, along with the current challenges and future opportunities of next-generation F-SCs, are proposed.

Abstract
Realizing high energy-density and actual applications of fibre-based electrochemical supercapacitors (FESCs) are pivotal but challenging, as the ability to construct advanced fibres for accelerating charges kinetic diffusion and Faradaic storage remain key bottlenecks. Here, we demonstrate high-performance FESCs based on hetero-structured polymetallic oxides/porous graphene core-sheath fibres, where the large pseudo-active polymetallic oxide (PMO) sheath is uniformly loaded on a hierarchical porous graphene fibre (PGF) core. Due to the abundant micro-/mesoporous pathways, large accessible surface, excellent redox activity and good interface electron conduction, the PMO-PGF possesses high areal capacitance (2959.78 mF cm-2 ) and manageable Faradaic reversibility in a 6 M KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, the PMO-PGF-based solid-state FESCs present high energy-density (187.22 μ Wh cm-2 ), long-life cycles (95.8 % capacitive retention after 20 000 cycles), diverse-powered capabilities and actual energy-supply applications.

Abstract
The structural design of transition metal-based electrode materials with gigantic energy storage capabilities is a crucial task. In this work, we report an assembly of thin layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets arrayed throughout the luminal and abluminal parts of polypyrrole tunnels fastened onto both sides of a carbon cloth as a battery-type energy storage system. Electron microscopy images reveal that the resulting electrode (NiCo-LDH@H-PPy@CC, where H-PPy@CC represents carbon cloth-supported hollow polypyrrole fibers) is constructed by combining luminal and abluminal NiCo-LDH nanosheets onto a long polypyrrole tunnel on a carbon cloth. The primary sample shows an excellent specific capacity of 149.16 mAh g-1 at 1.0 mA cm-2, a remarkable rate capability of 80.45%, and comprehensive cyclic stability (93.4%). The improved performance is mainly attributed to the strategic organization of the electrode materials with superior Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and conductivity. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor device assembled with NiCo-LDH@H-PPy@CC and vanadium phosphate-incorporated carbon nanofiber (VPO@CNFs900) electrodes contributes a specific energy density of 32.42 Wh kg-1 at 3 mA cm-2 with a specific power density of 359.16 W kg-1. When the current density is increased by 6-fold, the specific power density reaches 1999.89 W kg-1 at a specific energy density of 20.06 Wh kg-1. This is a simple, cost-effective, and convenient synthetic strategy for the synthesis of porous nanosheet arrays assimilated into hollow fiber architectures, which can illuminate the ideal approach for the fabrication of novel materials with an immense potential for energy storage.

Abstract
Most of the biomass-derived carbon-based supercapacitors using organic electrolytes exhibit very low energy density due to their low operating potential range between 2.7 and 3.0 V. A novel insight into the concept of the different porous architecture of electrode materials that is employed to extend a device's operating potential up to 3.4 V using TEABF4 in acetonitrile, is reported. The combination of two high surface area activated carbons derived from abundant natural resources such as industrial waste cotton and wheat flour as sustainable and green carbon precursors is explored as an economical and efficient supercapacitor carbon electrode. Benefitting from the simultaneous achievement of the higher potential window (3.4 V) with higher volumetric capacitance (101 F cm-3), the supercapacitor electrodes exhibit higher volumetric energy density (42.85 Wh L-1). Bimodal pore size distribution of carbon with a tuned pore size and high specific surface area of the electrode can promote the fast transport of cations and anions. Hence, it exhibits a high rate capability even at 30 A g-1. In addition, the electrodes remain stable during operation cell voltage at 3.4 V upon 15 000 charging-discharging cycles with 90% capacitance retention.

Abstract
Large micropore surface area, superior electrical conductivity and suitable pore size are simultaneously desired characteristics for high-performance capacitive carbons. However, these desired features tend to be mutually competing, and are generally difficult to integrate into a single carbon. Considering this challenge, we developed a sustainable, less time-demanding, pollution-free strategy to construct highly graphitized porous carbon (GPC) by one-step heat-treatment. This approach achieves the need of the abovementioned characteristics for capacitive carbons, wherein potassium ferrate works as both an activating agent and graphitization catalyst to achieve synchronous hierarchical porosity and graphitization of wasted natural wood, and the resultant carbon materials possess a large micropore surface area of 870.4 m2 g-1, a highly graphitic carbon skeleton and a well-interconnected micro-meso-macropore structure. The assembled GPC-based symmetrical capacitors exhibited a satisfactory capacitive performance in different aqueous electrolytes (H2SO4, KOH and Na2SO4), including high specific capacitance, prominent rate capability, satisfactory energy density and good cycle stability. Meanwhile, we compared the contributions of porosity and the graphitized structure to capacitive performance, and porosity was dominant in determining capacitance and the graphitized skeleton had a positive effect in enhancing the capacitive performance. In addition, we established the relationship between the structure of GPC and electrochemical capacitive performance in different aqueous electrolytes, providing a valuable reference for GPC-based supercapacitors in different practical applications. More importantly, this strategy holds great promise to sustainably convert biowaste to high-added-value capacitive carbons for advanced energy storage applications in the future.

Abstract
With the ever-rapid miniaturization of portable, wearable electronics and Internet of Things, the volumetric performance is becoming a much more pertinent figure-of-merit than the conventionally used gravimetric parameters to evaluate the charge-storage capacity of electrochemical capacitors (ECs). Thus, it is essential to design the ECs that can store as much energy as possible within a limited space. As the most critical component in ECs, "porous and yet dense" electrodes with large ion-accessible surface area and optimal packing density are crucial to realize desired high volumetric performance, which have demonstrated to be rather challenging. In this review, the principles and fundamentals of ECs are first observed, focusing on the key understandings of the different charge storage mechanisms in porous electrodes. The recent and latest advances in high-volumetric-performance ECs, developed by the rational design and fabrication of "porous and yet dense" electrodes are then examined. Particular emphasis of discussions then concentrates on the key factors impacting the volumetric performance of porous carbon-based electrodes. Finally, the currently faced challenges, further perspectives and opportunities on those purposely engineered porous electrodes for high-volumetric-performance EC are presented, aiming at providing a set of guidelines for further design of the next-generation energy storage devices.

Abstract
Atomically thin materials (ATMs) with thicknesses in the atomic scale (typically <5 nm) offer inherent advantages of large specific surface areas, proper crystal lattice distortion, abundant surface dangling bonds, and strong in-plane chemical bonds, making them ideal 2D platforms to construct high-performance electrode materials for rechargeable metal-ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries. This work reviews the synthesis and electronic property tuning of state-of-the-art ATMs, including graphene and graphene derivatives (GE/GO/rGO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), phosphorene, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXenes), transition metal oxides (TMOs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for constructing next-generation high-energy-density and high-power-density rechargeable batteries to meet the needs of the rapid developments in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and smart electricity grids. We also present our viewpoints on future challenges and opportunities of constructing efficient ATMs for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Fiber-based supercapacitors (FSCs) that display small volume, robust weavability, high power density, and long-term stability, have urgently become the indispensable power supplies in smart wearable industries. Graphene fiber is regarded as an ideal FSCs electrode due to its remarkable natures of anisotropic framework, adjustable layer spacing, porous structures, large specific-surface-area, processable electroactivity, and high electronical and mechanical properties. This review, mainly focuses on the graphene fiber-based supercapacitors (GFSCs), with respect to fiber preparation, micro-nanostructure modulation, supercapacitor construction, performance optimization, and wearable applications. Various fiber fabrication strategies, including wet-spinning, dry-spinning, film conversion, confined hydrothermal self-assembly, and microfluidic-spinning are presented for fiber's structure manipulation and large-scale production. Advanced nanostructures and electroactivity with various building principles, such as oriented alignment, porous network, hierarchical, and heterogeneous skeleton, engineered active-sites, and mechanical regulation are discussed for boosting charge transfer, and ionic kinetic diffusion and storage. Especially, the optimizing approaches for regular unit alignment, enhanced interlayer interactions, modulated structural nano-architecture are presented to deliver high capacitance and energy density. Moreover, the flexibility and stretchability of graphene fiber, together with wearable applications of power supply are highlighted. Finally, a short summary, current challenges and future perspectives for designing high energy density GFSCs are proposed.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are increasingly used in short-distance electric transportation due to their long lifetime (≈15 years) and fast charging capability (>10 A g-1 ). To improve their market penetration, while minimizing onboard weight and maximizing space-efficiency, materials costs must be reduced (<10 $ kg-1 ) and the volumetric energy-density increased (>8 Wh L-1 ). Carbon nanofibers display good gravimetric capacitance, yet their marketability is hindered by their low density (0.05-0.1 g cm-3 ). Here, the authors increase the packing density of low-cost, free-standing carbon nanofiber mats (from 0.1 to 0.6 g cm-3 ) through uniaxial compression. X-ray computed tomography reveals that densification occurs by reducing the inter-fiber pore size (from 1-5 µm to 0.2-0.5 µm), which are not involved in double-layer capacitance. The improved packing density is directly proportional to the volumetric performances of the device, which reaches a volumetric capacitance of 130 F cm-3 and energy density of 6 Wh L-1 at 0.1 A g-1 using a loading of 3 mg cm-2 . The results outperform most commercial and lab-scale porous carbons synthesized from bioresources (50-100 F cm-3 , 1-3 Wh L-1 using 10 mg cm-2 ) and contribute to the scalable design of sustainable electrodes with minimal 'dead volume' for efficient supercapacitors.

Abstract
Electrolyte-accessibly porous yet densely packed MXene composite electrodes with high ion-accessible surface and rapid ion transport rate have shown exceptional promise for high-volumetric-performance supercapacitors (SCs), but they are largely limited by the insufficient rate capability and poor electrochemical cyclability, in association with the instability in mechanical robustness of the porous network structures. Taking advantage of chemical bonding design, herein a black phosphorus (BP)@MXene compact film of 3D porous network structure is successfully made by in situ growth of BP nanoparticles on crumbled MXene flakes. The strong interfacial interaction (Ti-O-P bonds) formed at the BP-MXene interfaces not only enhances the atomic charge polarization in the BP-MXene heterostructures, leading to efficient interfacial electron transport, but also stabilizes the 3D porous yet dense architecture with much improved mechanical robustness. Consequently, fully packaged SCs using the BP@MXene composite films with a practical-level of mass loading (∼15 mg cm-2) deliver a high stack volumetric energy density of 72.6 Wh L-1, approaching those of lead-acid batteries (50-90 Wh L-1), together with a long-term stability (90.58% capacitance retention after 50000 cycles). The achievement of such high energy density bridges the gap between traditional batteries and SCs and represents a timely breakthrough in designing compact electrodes toward commercial-level capacitive energy storage.

Abstract
Fabricating covalent organic frameworks (COFs) membranes with tight structure, which can fully utilize well-defined framework structure and thus achieve superior conduction performance, remains a grand challenge. Herein, through molecular precursor engineering of COFs, we reported the fabrication of tight COFs membrane with the ever-reported highest hydroxide ion conductivity over 200 mS cm-1 at 80 °C, 100 % RH. Six quaternary ammonium-functionalized COFs were synthesized by assembling functional hydrazides and different aldehyde precursors. In an organic-aqueous reaction system, the impact of the aldehyde precursors with different size, electrophilicity and hydrophilicity on the reaction-diffusion process for fabricating COFs membranes was elucidated. Particularly, more hydrophilic aldehydes were prone to push the reaction zone from the interface region to the aqueous phase of the reaction system, the tight membranes were thus fabricated via phase-transfer polymerization process, conferring around 4-8 times the anion conductivity over the loose membranes via interfacial polymerization process.

Abstract
In this study, carbon-supported MnO2 nanocomposites have been prepared using the microwave-assisted heating method followed by two different approaches. The MnO2/C nanocomposite, labeled as sample S1, was prepared directly by the microwave-assisted synthesis of mixed KMnO4 and carbon powder components. Meanwhile, the other MnO2/C nanocomposite sample labeled as S2 was prepared indirectly via a two-step procedure that involves the microwave-assisted synthesis of mixed KMnO4 and MnSO4 components to generate MnO2 and subsequent secondary microwave heating of synthesized MnO2 species coupled with graphite powder. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy have been used for characterization of MnO2/C nanocomposites morphology, structure, and composition. The electrochemical performance of nanocomposites has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements in a 1 M Na2SO4 solution. The MnO2/C nanocomposite, prepared indirectly via a two-step procedure, displays substantially enhanced electrochemical characteristics. The high specific capacitance of 980.7 F g−1 has been achieved from cyclic voltammetry measurements, whereas specific capacitance of 949.3 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 has been obtained from galvanostatic charge/discharge test for sample S2. In addition, the specific capacitance retention was 93% after 100 cycles at 20 A g−1, indicating good electrochemical stability.

Abstract
Soft electro-chemo-mechanical actuators have received enormous interest in biomimetic technologies, wearable electronics, and microelectromechanical systems due to their low voltage-driven large deformation, fast response, high strain, and working durability. Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets, which can highly promote ion-induced micromotion to macrodeformation, have outstandingly been used as prime actuator electrodes because of their ordered microstructures, tunable interlayer spaces, controllable electrochemical activities, and excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Here, this review primarily focuses on the recent advances in key 2D electro-chemo-mechanical actuator electrodes, including graphene, MXenes, graphitic carbon nitride, molybdenum disulfide, black phosphorus, and graphdiyne. Various synthetic strategies of electrode design, such as microstructural architecture, active-site regulation, and channel construction, for achieving high ionic kinetic transport, charge storage, and electrochemical-mechanical performances are discussed. The advanced structures with diverse building principles that provide ordered and active ionic pathways for high actuation speed and strain are emphasized. Furthermore, the innovative applications of electro-chemo-mechanical actuators toward biomimetic robots and smart devices are highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives are also proposed. The aim of this review is to provide the guiding significance for scientific researchers and industrial engineers to design higher performance next-generation electro-chemo-mechanical actuators.

Abstract
Graphene (G)-based two dimensional (2D) mesoporous materials combine the advantages of G, ultrathin 2D morphology, and mesoporous structures, greatly contributing to the improvement of power and energy densities of energy storage devices. Despite considerable research progress made in the past decade, a complete overview of G-based 2D mesoporous materials has not yet been provided. In this review, we summarize the synthesis strategies for G-based 2D mesoporous materials and their applications in supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The general aspect of synthesis procedures and underlying mechanisms are discussed in detail. The structural and compositional advantages of G-based 2D mesoporous materials as electrodes for SCs and LIBs are highlighted. We provide our perspective on the opportunities and challenges for development of G-based 2D mesoporous materials. Therefore, we believe that this review will offer fruitful guidance for fabricating G-based 2D mesoporous materials as well as the other types of 2D heterostructures for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Due to excellent flexibility and hydrophilicity, cellulose fibers (CFs) have become one of the most potential substrate materials in flexible and wearable electronics. In previous work, we prepared cobalt oxyhydroxide with crystal defects modified polypyrrole (PPy)@CFs composites with good electrochemical performance. In this work, we redesigned the crystalline and nanoscale cobalt oxyhydroxide with zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-67 (ZIF-67) as precursor. The results showed that the PPy@ZIF-67 derived cobalt oxyhydroxide@CFs (PZCC) hybrid electrode materials possess far better capacitance of 696.65 F·g−1 than those of PPy@CFs (308.75 F·g−1) and previous PPy@cobalt oxyhydroxide@CFs (571.3 F·g−1) at a current density of 0.2 A·g−1. The PZCC delivers an excellent cyclic stability (capacitance retention of 92.56%). Moreover, the PZCC-supercapacitors (SCs) can provide an energy density of 45.51 mWh cm−3 at a power density of 174.67 mWh·cm−3, suggesting the potential application in energy storage area.

Abstract
The hard-template method belongs to an effective route for preparing porous carbon materials with ideal hierarchical pores. In this work, a kind of hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) with high gravimetric and volumetric capacitance is fabricated by the use of Al-Cu double hydroxides (Al-Cu DHs) as hard templates and polyethylene glycol-200 as carbon precursors. It is found that the Al/Cu molar ratio has a profound influence on the morphology and composition of Al-Cu DHs and the obtained hierarchical porous architecture of HPCs owing to the template and catalyst functions of both Cu and Al2O3. For Al/Cu molar ratios of 5:1 and 7:1, the prepared HPC-05 and HPC-07 display a large specific surface area and appropriate hierarchical porous architecture. They can be used as the electrode materials of supercapacitors without any activation. The HPC-05 exhibits gravimetric capacitance (296.9 F g-1) and high volumetric capacitance (183.3 F cm-3). Moreover, the capacitance retention is 105% in 1 M Na2SO4electrolyte with an ultrahigh gravimetric energy density of 16.32 W h kg-1and a volumetric energy density of 10.09 W h l-1. This paper provides a tunable double-hydroxide-template way to construct HPC materials with high gravimetric and volume capacitance.

Abstract
High volumetric performance is a challenging issue for carbon-based electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). Herein, collapsed N,S dual-doped carbon nanocages (cNS-CNC) are constructed by simple capillary compression, which eliminates the surplus meso- and macropores, leading to a much increased density only at the slight expense of specific surface area. The N,S dual-doping induces strong polarity of the carbon surface, and thus much improves the wettability and charge transfer. The synergism of the high density, large ion-accessible surface area, and fast charge transfer leads to state-of-the-art volumetric performance under the premise of high rate capability. At a current density of 50 A g-1 , the optimized cNS-CNC delivers a high volumetric capacitance of 243 and 199 F cm-3 in KOH and EMIMBF4 electrolyte, with high energy density of 7.9 and 93.4 Wh L-1 , respectively. A top-level stack volumetric energy density of 75.3 Wh L-1 (at power density of 0.7 kW L-1 ) and a maximal stack volumetric power density of 112 kW L-1 (at energy density of 18.8 Wh L-1 ) are achieved in EMIMBF4 , comparable to the lead-acid battery in energy density but better in power density with 2-3 orders. This study demonstrates an efficient strategy to design carbon-based materials for high-volumetric-performance EDLCs with wide practical applications.

Abstract
To construct a high-performance next-generation carbon-based flexible supercapacitor, high porosity, large mass density, and high flexibility are three significant challenging goals. However, one side always affects another. Herein, high-density tetratomic-doped porous composite carbon derived from sustainable biomaterials is achieved via two-step processes of carbonization and acid-washing treatment. The assembled carbon-based electrodes are highly doped with various heteroatoms (B, O, N, and P) for 33.59 atom %, resulting in abundant porosity, high densities, high pseudocapacitive contribution for 84.5%, and superior volumetric capacitive performance. The fabricated flexible electrode exhibits high flexibility, high mass loading (316 mg cm-3), and remarkable tensile strength (44.6 MPa). Generally, the volumetric performance is key and a significant parameter to appraise the electrochemical characteristics of flexible supercapacitors within a limited space. The aqueous symmetric supercapacitor demonstrates a high volumetric energy density and an excellent power density of 2.08 mWh cm-3 and 498.4 mW cm-3, respectively, along with 99.6% capacitance retention after 20 000 cycles, making it competitive to even some pseudocapacitors.

Abstract
Electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs), with one-dimensional (1D) morphology, tunable size, mechanical flexibility, and functionalities by themselves and those that can be added onto them, have witnessed the intensive development and extensive applications in energy storage and conversion, such as supercapacitors, batteries, and fuel cells. However, conventional solid CNFs often suffer from a rather poor electrical conductivity and low specific surface area, compared with the graphene and carbon nanotube counterparts. A well-engineered porous structure in CNFs increases their surface areas and reactivity, but there is a delicate balance between the level and type of pores and mechanical robustness. In addition, CNFs by themselves often show unsatisfactory electrochemical performance in energy storage and conversion, where, to endow them with high and durable activity, one effective approach is to dope CNFs with certain heteroatoms. Up to now, various activation strategies have been proposed and some of them have demonstrated great success in addressing these key issues. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the issue-oriented schemes for activating the electrospun CNFs in terms of enhancing the conductivity, modulating pore configuration, doping with heteroatoms, and reinforcing mechanical strength, in close reference to their applications in supercapacitors. The basic scientific principles involved in these activation processes and their effectiveness in boosting the electrochemical performance of CNFs are examined. Finally, some of the on-going challenges and future perspectives in engineering CNFs for better performance are highlighted.
