Abstract
Gas-evolving electrodes often suffer from the blocking of catalytic active sites-due to unwanted and unavoidable adhesion of generated gas bubbles, which elevates the overpotential for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER)- by raising the resistance of the electrode. Here, a catalyst-free and self-healable superaerophobic coating having ultra-low bubble adhesion is introduced for achieving significantly depleted overpotentials of 209 and 506 mV at both low (50 mA cm-2 ) and high (500 mA cm-2 ) current densities, respectively, compared to a bare nickel-foam electrode. The optimized coating ensured an early detachment of the generated tiny (0.8 ± 0.1 mm) gas bubble-and thus, prevented the undesired rise in resistance of the coated electrode. The systematic association of physical (i.e., ionic interactions, H-bonding, etc.) cross-linkage, β-amino ester type covalent cross-linkage and reinforced halloysite nano clay enables the design of such functional material embedded with essential characteristics-including improved mechanical (toughness of 63.7 kJ m-3 , and tensile modulus of 26 kPa) property and chemical (extremes of pH (1 and 14), salinity, etc.) stability, rapid (<10 min) self-healing ability (even at alkaline condition) and desired bubble-wettability (bubble contact angle of 158.2 ± 0.2° ) with ultralow force (4.2 ± 0.4 µN) of bubble adhesion.

Abstract
The creation and development of carbon nanomaterials promoted material science significantly. Bottom-up synthesis has emerged as an efficient strategy to synthesize atomically precise carbon nanomaterials, namely, molecular carbons, with various sizes and topologies. Different from the properties of the feasibly obtained mixture of carbon nanomaterials, numerous properties of single-component molecular carbons have been discovered owing to their well-defined structures as well as potential applications in various fields. This Perspective introduces recent advances in molecular carbons derived from fullerene, graphene, carbon nanotube, carbyne, graphyne, and Schwarzite carbon acquired with different synthesis strategies. By selecting a variety of representative examples, we elaborate on the relationship between molecular carbons and carbon nanomaterials. We hope these multiple points of view presented may facilitate further advancement in this field.

Advancements in Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition for Producing Vertical Graphene Nanowalls. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2533. [PMID: 37764562 PMCID: PMC10537120 DOI: 10.3390/nano13182533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, vertical graphene nanowalls (VGNWs) have gained significant attention due to their exceptional properties, including their high specific surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, scalability, and compatibility with transition metal compounds. These attributes position VGNWs as a compelling choice for various applications, such as energy storage, catalysis, and sensing, driving interest in their integration into next-generation commercial graphene-based devices. Among the diverse graphene synthesis methods, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) stands out for its ability to create large-scale graphene films and VGNWs on diverse substrates. However, despite progress in optimizing the growth conditions to achieve micrometer-sized graphene nanowalls, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying physicochemical mechanisms that govern nanostructure formation remains elusive. Specifically, a deeper exploration of nanometric-level phenomena like nucleation, carbon precursor adsorption, and adatom surface diffusion is crucial for gaining precise control over the growth process. Hydrogen's dual role as a co-catalyst and etchant in VGNW growth requires further investigation. This review aims to fill the knowledge gaps by investigating VGNW nucleation and growth using PECVD, with a focus on the impact of the temperature on the growth ratio and nucleation density across a broad temperature range. By providing insights into the PECVD process, this review aims to optimize the growth conditions for tailoring VGNW properties, facilitating applications in the fields of energy storage, catalysis, and sensing.

Abstract
Developing high-efficiency electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions (HER/HOR) in alkaline electrolytes is of critical importance for realizing renewable hydrogen technologies. Ruthenium phosphides (RuPx ) are promising candidates to substitute Pt-based electrodes; however, great challenges still remain in their electronic structure regulation for optimizing intermediate adsorption. Herein, it is reported that a homologous RuP@RuP2 core-shell architecture constructed by a phosphatization-controlled phase-transformation strategy enables strong electron coupling for optimal intermediate adsorption by virtue of the emergent interfacial functionality. Density functional theory calculations show that the RuP core and RuP2 shell present efficient electron transfer, leading to a close to thermoneutral hydrogen adsorption Gibbs free energy of 0.04 eV. Impressively, the resulting material exhibits superior HER/HOR activities in alkaline media, which outperform the benchmark Pt/C and are among the best reported bifunctional hydrogen electrocatalysts. The present work not only provides an efficient and cost-effective bifunctional hydrogen electrocatalyst, but also offers a new synthetic protocol to rationally synthesize homologous core-shell nanostructures for widespread applications.

Abstract
Self-active metal-free graphdiyne (GDY) is used, which has a precise chemical structure, as a model carbon-based metal-free electrocatalyst to assess its activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and to understand the origin of electrocatalytic performance at the atomic level. The studies reveal that the unusual electrocatalytic properties of GDY originate from its unique nanostructure, which can simultaneously provide highly active sites for hydrogen adsorption and facilitate the electron-transfer process for proton reduction. Accordingly, GDY can act as a metal-free efficient HER electrocatalyst with Pt-like HER activity, but with long-term durability superior to that of Pt/C under the wide pH range (from acidic to basic). To the best of knowledge, such HER performance is better than that of other reported metal-free electrocatalysts and most transition-metal electrocatalysts-even Pt-based ones.

Abstract
The growing energy demand worldwide has led to increased use of fossil fuels. This, in turn, is making fossil fuels dwindle faster and cause more negative environmental impacts. Thus, alternative, environmentally friendly energy sources such as fuel cells and electrolyzers are being developed. While significant progress has already been made in this area, such energy systems are still hard to scale up because of their noble metal catalysts. In this concept paper, first, various scalable nanocarbon-based electrocatalysts that are being synthesized for energy conversions in these energy systems are introduced. Next, notable heteroatom-doping and nanostructuring strategies that are applied to produce different nanostructured carbon materials with high electrocatalytic activities for energy conversions are discussed. The concepts used to develop such materials with different structures and large density of dopant-based catalytic functional groups in a sustainable way, and the challenges therein, are emphasized in the discussions. The discussions also include the importance of various analytical, theoretical, and computational methods to probe the relationships between the compositions, structures, dopants, and active catalytic sites in such materials. These studies, coupled with experimental studies, can further guide innovative synthetic routes to efficient nanostructured carbon electrocatalysts for practical, large-scale energy conversion applications.

Near-Equilibrium Growth of Chemically Stable Covalent Organic Framework/Graphene Oxide Hybrid Materials for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2021; 61:e202113067.

Abstract
Facile synthesis and post-processing of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) under mild synthetic conditions are highly sought after and important for widespread utilizations in catalysis and energy storage. Here we report the synthesis of the chemically stable aza-fused COFs BPT-COF and PT-COF by a liquid-phase method. The process involves the spontaneous polycondensation of vicinal diamines and vicinal diketones, and is driven by the near-equilibrium growth of COF domains at a very low monomer concentration. The method permits in situ assembly of COFs and COF-GO hybrid materials and leads to the formation of a uniform conducting film on arbitrary substrates on vacuum filtration. When used as electrocatalysts, the as-prepared membranes show a fast hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with a low overpotential (45 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) and a small Tafel slope (53 mV dec-1 ), which are the best among metal-free catalysts. Our results may open a new route towards the preparation of highly π-conjugated COFs for multifunctional applications.

Abstract
To mitigate the energy crisis and environmental pollution, efficient and earth-abundant hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts are essential for hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting. Graphene-based materials as metal-free catalysts have attracted significant attention but suffer from insufficient activity and stability. Therefore, a novel and economical approach is developed to prepare highly active, robust, and self-supported reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/SiO2 ceramic composites as electrocatalysts in HER. Through intercalation and pressure sintering, the rGO sheets are parallelly aligned and embedded into a dense and chemically inert SiO2 matrix, ensuring the electrical conductivity and stability of the prepared composites. After directional cutting, the edges of the oriented rGO sheets become fully exposed on the composite surface, acting as highly electrocatalytic active sites in HER, as confirmed by density functional theory calculations. The 4 vol% rGO/SiO2 composite displays superior electrocatalytic performance, featuring a low overpotential (134 mV) at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 , a small Tafel slope (103 mV dec-1 ), and excellent catalytic durability in 0.5 m H2 SO4 . This study provides a new yet cost-effective strategy to prepare metal-free, robust, and edge-rich rGO/ceramic composites as a highly electrocatalytic active catalyst for HER applications.

Abstract
Twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) exhibits a host of innovative physical phenomena owing to the formation of moiré superlattice. Especially, the discovery of superconducting behavior has generated new interest in graphene. The growing studies of tBLG mainly focus on its physical properties, while the fabrication of high-quality tBLG is a prerequisite for achieving the desired properties due to the great dependence on the twist angle and the interfacial contact. Here, the cutting-edge preparation strategies and challenges of tBLG fabrication are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of chemical vapor deposition, epitaxial growth on silicon carbide, stacking monolayer graphene, and folding monolayer graphene methods for the fabrication of tBLG are analyzed in detail, providing a reference for further development of preparation methods. Moreover, the characterization methods of twist angle for the tBLG are presented. Then, the unique physicochemical properties and corresponding applications of tBLG, containing correlated insulating and superconducting states, ferromagnetic state, soliton, enhanced optical absorption, tunable bandgap, and lithium intercalation and diffusion, are described. Finally, the opportunities and challenges for fabricating high-quality and large-area tBLG are discussed, unique physical properties are displayed, and new applications inferred from its angle-dependent features are explored, thereby impelling the commercialization of tBLG from laboratory to market.

Abstract
Exploring low-cost and earth-abundant oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst is essential for fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Among them, non-metal nanocarbon with multiple advantages of low cost, abundance, high conductivity, good durability, and competitive activity has attracted intense interest in recent years. The enhanced ORR activities of the nanocarbons are normally thought to originate from heteroatom (e.g., N, B, P, or S) doping or various induced defects. However, in practice, carbon-based materials usually contain both dopants and defects. In this regard, in terms of the co-engineering of heteroatom doping and defect inducing, we present an overview of recent advances in developing non-metal carbon-based electrocatalysts for the ORR. The characteristics, ORR performance, and the related mechanism of these functionalized nanocarbons by heteroatom doping, defect inducing, and in particular their synergistic promotion effect are emphatically analyzed and discussed. Finally, the current issues and perspectives in developing carbon-based electrocatalysts from both of heteroatom doping and defect engineering are proposed. This review will be beneficial for the rational design and manufacturing of highly efficient carbon-based materials for electrocatalysis.

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
Carbon materials, with their diverse allotropes, have played significant roles in our daily life and the development of material science. Following 0D C60 and 1D carbon nanotube, 2D graphene materials, with their distinctively fascinating properties, have been receiving tremendous attention since 2004. To fulfill the efficient utilization of 2D graphene sheets in applications such as energy storage and conversion, electrochemical catalysis, and environmental remediation, 3D structures constructed by graphene sheets have been attempted over the past decade, giving birth to a new generation of graphene materials called 3D graphene materials. This review starts with the definition, classifications, brief history, and basic synthesis chemistries of 3D graphene materials. Then a critical discussion on the design considerations of 3D graphene materials for diverse applications is provided. Subsequently, after emphasizing the importance of normalized property characterization for the 3D structures, approaches for 3D graphene material synthesis from three major types of carbon sources (GO, hydrocarbons and inorganic carbon compounds) based on GO chemistry, hydrocarbon chemistry, and new alkali-metal chemistry, respectively, are comprehensively reviewed with a focus on their synthesis mechanisms, controllable aspects, and scalability. At last, current challenges and future perspectives for the development of 3D graphene materials are addressed.

Abstract
It is still challenging to develop non-precious free-standing bifunctional electrocatalysts with high efficiency for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. Herein, for the first time, we present a novel hybrid electrocatalyst synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction, which is constructed from ultrafine NiSe2 nanoparticles/nanosheets homogeneously anchored on 3D graphene/nickel foam (NiSe2/3DSNG/NF). This hybrid delivers superior catalytic performances for hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions and overall water splitting: it shows an ultra-small Tafel slope of 28.56 mV dec-1 for hydrogen evolution in acid, and a small Tafel slope of 42.77 mV dec-1 for the oxygen evolution reaction; particularly, in a two-electrode setup for water splitting, it requires an ultra-small potential of 1.59 V to obtain 10 mA cm-2 with nearly 100% faradaic efficiencies for H2 and O2. This study presents a new approach of catalyst design and fabrication to achieve highly efficient and low-cost water electrolysis.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped functionalized graphene nanosheets (N-fGNS) were synthesized by a simple and green method and used for the visible-light-driven water splitting. Under visible light irradiation, N-fGNS produced H2 and O2 (1380 and 689 μM g-1 h-1, respectively) efficiently without co-catalysts. The excellent photocatalytic water splitting performance of N-fGNS is attributed to nitrogen doping and abundant surface defects as active sites.

Abstract
Their highly functional nature has endowed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with diverse applications. On this basis, a higher demand has been proposed for the preparation of novel-structured MOFs. Hollow MOFs have been intensively studied and exhibited versatile properties, and among the various methods, secondary-component incorporation has been proved promising in the design and preparation of complex structures with requisite properties. Herein, the synthesis and applications of secondary component incorporated MOFs and their derivatives are systematically reviewed. Two main methodologies, preincorporation and postmodification, are discussed in detail, and the role of the secondary component is demonstrated. Based on these introductions, the applications of those materials, including chemical catalysis, electrocatalysis, and energy storage applications, are summarized. Finally, a personal outlook for the future opportunities and challenges in this field is given.

Abstract
Mesoporous carbons attract increasing attention owing to their potential applications in supercapacitors. So far, controlled synthesis of mesoporous carbons with a narrow pore size distribution relies largely on the complicated template methods. To avoid the use of templates, a surfactant-free emulsion polymerization method is presented for the fabrication of a melamine-modified phenolic resin microrod (MPRR) assembled by micron-sized spherical cells and thin walls. In addition, one-step KOH activation strategy is adopted to synthesize hierarchical mesoporous activated carbon with 2-10 nm narrow mesopores by using MPRR as carbon precursors. The as-prepared mesoporous activated carbon has a high specific surface area of about 2758 m2 g-1 and a mesopore volume of 0.54 cm3 g-1 (calculated by density functional theory), comprising ∼43.5% of total pore volume (∼1.43 cm3 g-1). Hierarchical mesopores can significantly accelerate ion transfer and increase micropore accessibility, which endow the carbon with high specific capacitance equal to 409 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and 268 F g-1 at 100 A g-1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte, with a high capacitance retention of 66%. Moreover, the assembled symmetric supercapacitor also exhibits good cycling stability in KOH electrolyte and delivers high power density equal to 12080 W kg-1 when energy density is 5.02 Wh kg-1. This finding provides an insight into directional tailoring of mesoporous structures of phenolic resin-based carbon materials at the molecular level for high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
The atomic-level understanding of the electrocatalytic activity is pivotal for developing new metal-free carbon electrocatalysts towards efficient renewable energy conversion. Here, by utilizing the amidated-carbon fibers, we demonstrate a rational surface modulation strategy on both structural and electronic properties, which will significantly boost the hydrogen evolution reaction activity of electrocatalysts. Theoretical calculations reveal the amidation decorated surface will promote significantly more 2D electrons towards the localization at the C=O branch. The modified surface displays a self-activated electron-extraction characteristic that was actualized by a fast reversible bond-switching between HO-C=Ccatalyst and O=C-Ccatalyst. Experimentally, this metal-free electrode exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction activities and long-term stabilities in both acidic and alkaline media, even surpassing the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst. Thus, this strategy can extend to a general blueprint for achieving precise tuning on highly efficient electron-transfer of hydrogen evolution reaction for broad applications under universal pH conditions. While hydrogen as a renewable fuel can be produced from water, there is a scarcity of metal-free materials that serve as effective electrocatalysts. Here, authors functionalize carbon fiber cloth with amides to improve hydrogen evolution activities in both acid and alkaline water.

Abstract
Due to the anthropogenic pollution, especially the environmental crisis caused by air pollutants, the development of air pollutant degradation photocatalyst has become one of the major directions to the crisis relief. Among them, titania (titanium dioxide, TiO2) family materials were extensively studied in the past two decades due to their strong activity in the photocatalytic reactions. However, TiO2 had a drawback of large bandgap which limited its applications, several modification techniques were hence developed to enhance its catalytic activity and light sensitivity. In recent years, other metal oxide based materials have been developed as replacements for TiO2 photocatalysts. In this review, background information and developments from pure TiO2 to chemically modified TiO2-based materials as photocatalysts were discussed in detail, which covered their basic properties and their role in the air pollutant removal. It also proposes to solve the shortcomings of TiO2 by developing other metal oxide-based materials and predict the future development of TiO2 materials in future environmental applications.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the use of heterostructures comprised of Co/β-Mo2 C@N-CNT hybrids for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline electrolyte. The Co can not only create a well-defined heterointerface with β-Mo2 C but also overcomes the poor OER activity of β-Mo2 C, thus leading to enhanced electrocatalytic activity for HER and OER. DFT calculations further proved that cooperation between the N-CNTs, Co, and β-Mo2 C results in lower energy barriers of intermediates and thus greatly enhances the HER and OER performance. This study not only provides a simple strategy for the construction of heterostructures with nonprecious metals, but also provides in-depth insight into the HER and OER mechanism in alkaline solution.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials are perceived to be ideally suited candidates for high-end energy applications, owing to their unparalleled advantages including superior electric and thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and high specific surface areas. It has been demonstrated through several research contributions that the electrochemical performance of carbon nanomaterials significantly depends upon their versatile electronic structures and microstructures. These can be precisely tailored by rational defect engineering, heteroatom doping, heterostructure coupling, and pore fabrication, which largely affect the intrinsic nature of active sites and facilitate the ion/electron transfer. Herein, the recent progress in tailoring carbon nanostructures toward high-end electrocatalysis and supercapacitor applications is summarized, with an emphasis on synthesis strategies, advanced characterizations, and specific elucidation of structure-performance relationship. The challenges and opportunities for the rational design and detection of variously tailored carbon nanomaterials that can further improve the fundamental understanding and practical applications in the field of energy storage and conversion are also discussed.
