Molecules 2024; 29:1569. [PMID: 38611848 PMCID: PMC11013582 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Sugar industries generate substantial quantities of waste biomass after the extraction of sugar water from sugarcane stems, while biomass-derived porous carbon has currently received huge research attention for its sustainable application in energy storage systems. Hence, we have investigated waste sugarcane bagasse (WSB) as a cheap and potential source of porous carbon for supercapacitors. The electrochemical capacitive performance of WSB-derived carbon was further enhanced through hybridization with silicon dioxide (SiO2) as a cost-effective pseudocapacitance material. Porous WSB-C/SiO2 nanocomposites were prepared via the in situ pyrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)-modified WSB biomass. The morphological analysis confirms the pyrolytic growth of SiO2 nanospheres on WSB-C. The electrochemical performance of WSB-C/SiO2 nanocomposites was optimized by varying the SiO2 content, using two different electrolytes. The capacitance of activated WSB-C was remarkably enhanced upon hybridization with SiO2, while the nanocomposite electrode demonstrated superior specific capacitance in 6 M KOH electrolyte compared to neutral Na2SO4 electrolyte. A maximum specific capacitance of 362.3 F/g at 0.25 A/g was achieved for the WSB-C/SiO2 105 nanocomposite. The capacitance retention was slightly lower in nanocomposite electrodes (91.7-86.9%) than in pure WSB-C (97.4%) but still satisfactory. A symmetric WSB-C/SiO2 105//WSB-C/SiO2 105 supercapacitor was fabricated and achieved an energy density of 50.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 250 W kg-1, which is substantially higher than the WSB-C//WSB-C supercapacitor (22.1 Wh kg-1).

Abstract
The development of renewable energy conversion and storage has triggered the development of electrode materials for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and supercapacitors. Here we report a highly active Cu doped NiFe nanosheets hydroxide electrode with rich oxygen vacancies (OVs) (denoted as H-NiFeCuO/NF) prepared by in situ anodic electrodeposition on the three-dimensional macroporous nickel foam (NF) substrate followed by heat treatment with H2. The as-prepared H-NiFeCuO/NF electrode showed the initial potential of 1.44 V (versus RHE) for OER and 980 F g-1 specific capacity as supercapacitor in 1 M KOH. Further investigation suggested that the tuning of composition and structure by doping copper ions and creating OVs helped accelerate the electrochemical reactions. This practice provides an efficient approach for the fabrication of heteromultimetallic hydroxide monolithic electrode with high performance in OER or supercapacitor application.

Abstract
To address the growing energy demands of sustainable development, it is crucial to develop new materials that can improve the efficiency of energy storage systems. Hierarchically structured porous materials have shown their great potential for energy storage applications owing to their large accessible space, high surface area, low density, excellent accommodation capability with volume and thermal variation, variable chemical compositions and well controlled and interconnected hierarchical porosity at different length scales. Porous hierarchy benefits electron and ion transport, and mass diffusion and exchange. The electrochemical behavior of hierarchically structured porous materials varies with different pore parameters. Understanding their relationship can lead to the defined and accurate design of highly efficient hierarchically structured porous materials to enhance further their energy storage performance. In this review, we take the characteristic parameters of the hierarchical pores as the survey object to summarize the recent progress on hierarchically structured porous materials for energy storage. This is the first of this kind exclusively to survey the performance of hierarchically structured porous materials from different porous characteristics. For those who are not familiar with hierarchically structured porous materials, a series of very significant synthesis strategies of hierarchically structured porous materials are firstly and briefly reviewed. This will be beneficial for those who want to quickly obtain useful reference information about the synthesis strategies of new hierarchically structured porous materials to improve their performance in energy storage. The effect of different organizational, structural and geometric parameters of porous hierarchy on their electrochemical behavior is then deeply discussed. We outline the existing problems and development challenges of hierarchically structured porous materials that need to be addressed in renewable energy applications. We hope that this review can stimulate strong intuition into the design and application of new hierarchically structured porous materials in energy storage and other fields.

Abstract
In quest of a stable structure throughout redox reactions, an approach of B-site ordering (0D arrangement) of cations in double perovskites is adopted. Here, we report B-site cation ordering in double perovskite Sr2CoMoO6-δ (DP-SCM) that tends to a favorable rock salt structure (0D arrangement). The synergy of Co/Mo having good redox ability further facilitates high oxygen mobility. A high content of oxygen vacancy examined using XPS and EPR facilitates a high oxygen anion diffusion rate (2.03 × 10-11 cm2 s-1). Moreover, fast kinetics (ΔEP ≈ 0.013 V@ 1 mV s-1) of charge storage prohibits any phase transformation reflecting the excellent cycle life (125% retention up to 5000 cycles). Such fast kinetics is majorly furnished from anion intercalation with little involvement from double layer mechanism (Cdl ≈ 42.1 F g-1). DP-SCM achieves a resultant capacitance of 747 F g-1@ 1 A g-1 with a rate capability of 56% up to 10 A g-1. Motivated by outstanding performance of DP-SCM electrodes, a symmetric cell is assembled with a 1.4 V operating potential that delivers a high energy density of 64 Wh kg-1@855 W kg-1. This work on double perovskites suggests that the advance understanding of cation ordering and charge storage mechanism can provide a new direction to fabricate highly capacitive electrode materials.

Abstract
The metallic phase (1T) of molybdenum sulfide is critical, pertaining to its exceptional interlayer structure and metastability, but forms up with low content. Herein, 1T-phase-prominent vanadium-incorporated MoS2 (MVS) nanoroses were synthesized through a hydrothermal process. A significant increase in 1T content (50 %) occurred with the addition of vanadium, enhancing the prompt diffusion of lithium ions by two orders. More exposed electroactive basal planes increased the number of redox active sites to 84 %, suggesting an excellent charge storage of 451 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 . On assembling MVS with MnO2 to form an asymmetric cell (MnO2 ∥MVS), a high energy density (62.7 Wh kg-1 at 428 W kg-1 ) with a threefold increment from the MVS‖MVS symmetric cell (21.8 Wh kg-1 at 255 Wkg-1 ) was achieved. The asymmetric cell also exhibited a superior cycling stability with 98 % retention of its capacitance after 10 000 cycles.
