Abstract
Hard carbon as a negative electrode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) has great commercial potential and has been widely studied. The sodium-ion intercalation in graphite domains and the filling of closed pores in the low voltage platform region still remain a subject of controversy. We have successfully constructed hard carbon materials with a pseudo-graphitic structure by using polymerizable p-phenylenediamine and dichloromethane as carbon sources. This was achieved by a halogenated amination reaction and oxidative polymerization. It was found that the capacity of hard carbon materials mainly originates from intercalation into graphite domains. The study found that the prepared hard carbon could store 339.33 mAh g-1 of sodium in a reversible way at a current density of 25 mA g-1, and it had an initial coulomb efficiency of 80.23%. It even maintained a reversible sodium storage capacity of 125.53 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 12.8 A g-1. Based on the analysis of hard carbon structure and electrochemical performance, it was shown that the materials conform with an "adsorption-intercalation" mechanism for sodium storage.

Abstract
Protective masks are critical to impeding microorganism transmission but can propagate infection via pathogen buildup and face touching. To reduce this liability, we integrated electrospun photocatalytic graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanoflakes into standard surgical masks to confer a self-sanitization capacity. By optimizing the purine/melamine precursor ratio during synthesis, we reduced the g-C3N4 band gap from 2.92 to 2.05 eV, eliciting a 4× increase in sterilizing hydrogen peroxide production under visible light. This narrower band gap enables robust photocatalytic generation of reactive oxygen species from environmental and breath humidity to swiftly eliminate accumulated microbes. Under ambient sunlight, the g-C3N4 nanocomposite mask layer achieved a 97% reduction in the bacterial viability during typical use. Because the optimized band gap also allows photocatalytic activity under shadowless lamp illumination, the self-cleaning functionality could mitigate infection risk from residual pathogens in routine hospital settings. Both g-C3N4 and polycaprolactone demonstrate favorable biocompatibility and biodegradability, making this approach preferable over current commercially available metal-based options. Given the abundance and low cost of these components, this scalable approach could expand global access to reusable self-sanitizing protective masks, serving as a sustainable public health preparedness measure against future pandemics, especially in resource-limited settings.

Abstract
Due to the almost unlimited resource and acceptable performance, Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been regarded as a promising alternative for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for grid-scale energy storage. As the key material of SIBs, hard carbon (HC) plays a decisive role in determining the batteries' performance. Nevertheless, the micro-structure of HCs is quite complex and the random organization of turbostratically stacked graphene layers, closed pores, and defects make the structure-performance relationship insufficiently revealed. On the other hand, the impending large-scale deployment of SIBs leads to producing HCs with low-cost and abundant precursors actively pursued. In this work, the recent progress of preparing HCs from different precursors including biomass, polymers, and fossil fuels is summarized with close attention to the influences of precursors on the structural evolution of HCs. After a brief introduction of the structural features of HCs, the recent understanding of the structure-performance relationship of HCs for sodium storage is summarized. Then, the main focus is concentrated on the progress of producing HCs from distinct precursors. After that, the pros and cons of HCs derived from different precursors are comprehensively compared to conclude the selection rules of precursors. Finally, the further directions of HCs are deeply discussed to end this review.

Abstract
Because of its abundant resources, low cost and high reversible specific capacity, hard carbon (HC) is considered as the most likely commercial anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Therefore, reasonable design and effective strategies to regulate the structure of HCs play a crucial role in promoting the development of SIBs. Herein, the progress in the preparation approaches for HC anode materials is systematically overviewed, with a special focus on the comparison between traditional fabrication methods and advanced strategies emerged in recent years in terms of their influence on performance, including preparation efficiency, initial coulombic efficiency (ICE), specific capacity and rate capability. Furthermore, the advanced strategies are categorized into two groups: those exhibiting potential for large-scale production to replace traditional methods and those presenting guidelines for achieving high-performance HC anodes from top-level design. Finally, challenges and future development prospects to achieve high-performance HC anodes are also proposed. We believe that this review will provide beneficial guidance to actualize the truly rational design of advanced HC anodes, facilitating the industrialization of SIBs and assisting in formulating design rules for developing high-end advanced electrode materials for energy storage devices.

Abstract
A key task in today's inorganic synthetic chemistry is to develop effective reactions, routes, and associated techniques aiming to create new functional materials with specifically desired multilevel structures and properties. Herein, we report an ultrathin two-dimensional layered composite of graphene ribbon and silicate via a simple and scalable one-pot reaction, which leads to the creation of a novel carbon-metal-silicate hybrid family: carbosilicate. The graphene ribbon is in situ formed by unzipping carbon nanotubes, while the ultrathin silicate is in situ obtained from bulk silica or commercial glass; transition metals (Fe or Ni) oxidized by water act as bridging agent, covalently bonding the two structures. The unprecedented structure combines the superior properties of the silicate and the nanocarbon, which triggers some specific novel properties. All processes during synthesis are complementary to each other. The associated synergistic chemistry could stimulate the discovery of a large class of more interesting, functionalized structures and materials.

Abstract
The nanoreactor holds great promise as it emulates the natural processes of living organisms to facilitate chemical reactions, offering immense potential in catalytic energy conversion owing to its unique structural functionality. Here, we propose the utilization of precisely engineered carbon spheres as building blocks, integrating micromechanics and controllable synthesis to explore their catalytic functionalities in two-electron oxygen reduction reactions. After conducting rigorous experiments and simulations, we present compelling evidence for the enhanced mass transfer and microenvironment modulation effects offered by these mesoporous hollow carbon spheres, particularly when possessing a suitably sized hollow architecture. Impressively, the pivotal achievement lies in the successful screening of a potent, selective, and durable two-electron oxygen reduction reaction catalyst for the direct synthesis of medical-grade hydrogen peroxide disinfectant. Serving as an exemplary demonstration of nanoreactor engineering in catalyst screening, this work highlights the immense potential of various well-designed carbon-based nanoreactors in extensive applications.

Abstract
Development of bifunctional hydrazine oxidation and oxygen reduction electrocatalysts with high activity and stability is of great significance for the implementation of direct hydrazine fuel cells. Combining zero-dimensional metal nanoparticles with three-dimensional nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets is an attractive strategy for balancing performance and cost. However, the precise construction of these composites remains a significant challenge, and thorough study of their interaction mechanisms is lacking. Herein, the CuNPs/CuSA-NPCF catalyst was constructed by anchoring copper nanoparticles on a three-dimensional nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanosheet framework through coordination of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and copper ions. The Schottky barrier of metal-semiconductor matched the Fermi level of the rectifying contact, thus enabling directional electron transfer. The resulting electron-deficient Cu nanoparticles surface exhibited Lewis acidity, which was beneficial to adsorption of hydrazine molecule. While the electron-enriched Cu-N4/carbon surface improved the adsorption of oxygen molecule, and accelerated electron supply from Cu-N4 active sites to various oxygen intermediates. The CuNPs/CuSA-NPCF Mott-Schottky catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for hydrazine oxidation reaction and oxygen reduction reaction in an alkaline media. The directional manipulation of electron transfer in heterogeneous materials was an attractive universal synthesis method, providing new approach for the preparation of efficient and stable hydrazine fuel cell catalysts.

The reduction of LiHEOFeCl starts at ca. 1.5 V vs. Li+/Li, which is outside the electrochemical window of the Li-S batteries (1.7/2.9 V). The addition of the LiHEOFeCl material to the composite of carbon with sulfur results in improved long-term electrochemical cycling stability and increased charge capacity of this cathode material in Li-S batteries. The carbon/LiHEOFeCl/sulfur cathode provides a charge capacity of 530 mA h g-1 after 100 galvanostatic cycles, which represents ca. 33% increase as compared to the charge capacity of the blank carbon/sulfur composite cathode after 100 cycles. This considerable effect of the LiHEOFeCl material is assigned to its excellent structural and electrochemical stability within the potential window of 1.7 V/2.9 V vs. Li+/Li. In this potential region, our LiHEOFeCl has no inherent electrochemical activity. Hence, it acts solely as an electrocatalyst accelerating the redox reactions of polysulfides. This can be beneficial for the performance of Li-S batteries, as evidenced by reference experiments with TiO2 (P90).

Characterization of solid and liquid carbonization products of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and investigation of the PVC-derived adsorbent for the removal of organic compounds from water.

Abstract
The transformation of plastic wastes into value-added carbon materials is a promising strategy for the recycling of plastics. Commonly used polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics are converted into microporous carbonaceous materials using KOH as an activator via simultaneous carbonization and activation for the first time. The optimized spongy microporous carbon material has a surface area of 2093 m2 g-1 and a total pore volume of 1.12 cm3 g-1, and aliphatic hydrocarbons and alcohols are yielded as the carbonization by-products. The PVC-derived carbon materials exhibit outstanding adsorption performance for removing tetracycline from water, and the maximum adsorption capacity reaches 1480 mg g-1. The kinetic and isotherm patterns for tetracycline adsorption follow the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich models, respectively. Adsorption mechanism investigation indicates that pore filling and hydrogen bond interaction are mainly responsible for the adsorption. This study provides a facile and environmentally friendly approach for valorizing PVC into adsorbents for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Graphite is one of the major anode materials for commercial lithium-ion batteries. Li+ transport in a single graphite granule along intra and interlayer modes is a crucial factor for the battery performance. However, direct evidence and visualized details of the Li+ transports are hardly provided. Here, we report the direct observation of the anisotropic transport behavior of Li+ and investigate the electro-chemo-structure evolution during the lithiation of graphite through both the intra and interlayer pathways via in situ transmission electron microscopy. The in situ experiments of nano batteries give two extreme conditions, in which thermal runaway induced by polarization only occurs along the interlayer, not along the intralayer. The high diffusion energy barrier induced large polarization when the interlayer Li+ transport became dominant. The energy of the polarization electric field would be instantaneously released like a short electric pulse, which generated a substantial amount of joule heat and created an extremely high temperature, causing the melting of the tungsten tip. We provide another possible fundamental mechanism of thermal failure in graphite-based Li-ion batteries and hope this insightful work would help the safety management of graphite-based lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The introduction of metal vacancies into n-type semiconductors could efficiently construct intimate contact interface p-n homojunctions to accelerate the separation of photogenerated carriers. In this work, a cationic surfactant occupancy method was developed to synthesize an indium-vacancy (VIn)-enriched p-n amorphous/crystal homojunction of indium sulfide (A/C-IS) for sodium lignosulfonate (SL) degradation. The amount of VIn in the A/C-IS could be regulated by varying the content of added cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Meanwhile, the steric hindrance of CTAB produced mesopores and macropores, providing transfer channels for SL. The degradation rates of A/C-IS to SL were 8.3 and 20.9 times higher than those of crystalline In2S3 and commercial photocatalyst (P25), respectively. The presence of unsaturated dangling bonds formed by VIn reduced the formation energy of superoxide radicals (•O2-). In addition, the inner electric field between the intimate contact interface p-n A/C-IS promoted the migration of electron-hole pairs. A reasonable degradation pathway of SL by A/C-IS was proposed based on the above mechanism. Moreover, the proposed method could also be applicable for the preparation of p-n homojunctions with metal vacancies from other sulfides.

Abstract
As a straightforward way to fix solar energy, photo/photothermal catalysis with semiconductor provides a promising way to settle the energy shortage and environmental crisis in many fields, especially in clean energy conversion. Topologically porous heterostructures (TPHs), featured with well-defined pores and mainly composed by the derivatives of some precursors with specific morphology, are a major part of hierarchical materials in photo/photothermal catalysis and provide a versatile platform to construct efficient photocatalysts for their enhanced light absorption, accelerated charges transfer, improved stability, and promoted mass transportation. Therefore, a comprehensive and timely review on the advantages and recent applications of the TPHs is of great importance to forecast the potential applications and research trend in the future. This review initially demonstrates the advantages of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis. Then the universal classifications and design strategies of TPHs are emphasized. Besides, the applications and mechanisms of photo/photothermal catalysis in hydrogen evolution from water splitting and COx hydrogenation over TPHs are carefully reviewed and highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis are also critically discussed.

Abstract
The attapulgite@carbon/NiCo layered double hydroxide nanocomposites based on waste adsorbents are manufactured via simple and eco-friendly calcination and hydrothermal methods, by which they would be considerable electrode materials for advanced supercapacitors. To achieve sustainable development, the spent tetracycline-loaded attapulgite can act as a cost-effective available carbon source as well as a matrix material for carbon species and NiCo layered double hydroxide simultaneously. A controlled amount of attapulgite@carbon could be used to regulate the electrochemical properties of nanocomposites. The generated electrodes possess superior electrochemical properties with a specific capacitance of 2013.8 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, a retention rate of 87.7% at 5 A g-1, and a cyclic stability of 64.9% for 4000 cycles at 5 A g-1. Thus, the asymmetric supercapacitor device assembled with attapulgite@carbon/NiCo layered double hydroxide nanocomposites||active carbon shows a maximum capacitance of 231.3 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, with a preeminent energy density of 82.2 Wh kg-1 when its power density is 4318 W kg-1. This approach would contribute to the development of supercapacitors in an efficient and effective manner, as well as provide a feasible strategy for solving tetracycline pollution and recycling waste adsorbents to achieve sustainable development.
