Abstract
This review focuses on the advanced design and optimization of nanostructured zinc-air batteries (ZABs), with the aim of boosting their energy storage and conversion capabilities. The findings show that ZABs favor porous nanostructures owing to their large surface area, and this enhances the battery capacity, catalytic activity, and life cycle. In addition, the nanomaterials improve the electrical conductivity, ion transport, and overall battery stability, which crucially reduces dendrite growth on the zinc anodes and improves cycle life and energy efficiency. To obtain a superior performance, the importance of controlling the operational conditions and using custom nanostructural designs, optimal electrode materials, and carefully adjusted electrolytes is highlighted. In conclusion, porous nanostructures and nanoscale materials significantly boost the energy density, longevity, and efficiency of Zn-air batteries. It is suggested that future research should focus on the fundamental design principles of these materials to further enhance the battery performance and drive sustainable energy solutions.

Abstract
In the present work, Mg1-xZnxFe2O4 (MZFO) nanoparticles with x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.35, and 0.5 were synthesized via a chemical coprecipitation method. The study aimed to explore the effect of substituting Mg with Zn in MZFO on its structural, dielectric, and gas-sensing properties. The spinel phase formation was confirmed using X-ray diffraction, and the morphology of the prepared nanoparticles was revealed using scanning electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis confirmed the band ranges of 500-600 cm-1 for tetrahedral and 390-450 cm-1 for octahedral lattice sites. The dielectric data showed that Zn substitution in MZFO decreased both the dielectric constant and loss with increasing frequencies and attained a stagnant value at higher frequencies. Furthermore, the gas-sensing characteristics of Zn-substituted spinel ferrites at room temperature for CO2, O2, and N2 were studied. The nanostructured MZFO exhibited high sensitivity in the order of CO2 > O2 ≫ N2 and showed a good response time of (∼1 min) for CO2, demonstrating that MZFO can be a good potential candidate for gas-sensing applications.

Abstract
High-efficiency, sustainable, non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts with bifunctional catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are essential for metal-air batteries. In this research, a bifunctional electrocatalyst is developed by synthesizing a novel nanoporous vanadium oxide/carbon composite (NVC-900) through pyrolysis of a highly efficient vanadium metal-organic framework, MIL-101 (V). The fabrication process was conveniently carried out by pyrolyzing the synthesized MIL-101 (V) at 900 °C, producing vanadium oxide nanoparticles embedded in the extensively distributed pores of the carbon network. The evenly distributed nanopores substantially improve the performance of the efficient electrocatalyst for both the oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reactions (ORR/OER) by increasing surface area and facilitating access to stable catalytic active sites. The unique structure was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the electrocatalyst established a promising limiting current density (J L) of 5.2 mA cm-2 at 1600 rpm at an onset potential of 1.18 V and a half-wave potential of 0.82 V, and for OER, a current density of 10 mA cm-2 was delivered at a potential of 1.48 V. In comparison to 10% Pt/C, the synthesized bifunctional electrocatalyst being almost equally active towards bifunctional activity, showed much better long-term cyclic stability. The one-step thermal pyrolysis strategy to synthesize the nanoporous functional material and the proposed electrocatalytic material's long-term bifunctional activity and durability make it an ideal fit for next-generation portable green metal-air batteries.

Abstract
A straightforward in situ thermal (IST) method is developed to synthesize bimetallic Co/Zn embedded in nitrogen-doped three-dimensional carbon (CoZn@NC_IST). The facile IST process is a single-step thermal treatment of a mixture of metals (Co/Zn) and 2-methylimidazole precursors under solvent-free conditions. This straightforward method is advantageous over the traditional synthesis derived from CoZn-ZIF (CoZn@NC_Solv). During the IST method, the bimetallic Co/Zn bridged with 2-methylimidazole forming zeolitic-imidazole frameworks (ZIFs) under low-temperature (<200 °C) conditions before being de-coordinated and sacrificed their structure into a carbon material at high temperature (>500 °C). Loading zinc into the mixture of precursors contributed to the metal distribution and increased the surface area compared with the sample without zinc (Co@NC_IST). CoZn@NC_IST exhibits a bifunctional electrocatalytic ability for the ORR (0.855 V@E1/2) and OER (overpotential of 325 mV@10 mA cm-2). Applying CoZn@NC_IST in a zinc-air battery confirmed its excellent and effective dual-function electrocatalytic performance. Herein, using the advanced single-step method of IST in the absence of any solvent, we provide a powerful and green synthesis of an electrocatalyst that is a potential candidate for industrial applications.

Abstract
Owing to the advantages of high theoretical capacity, low cost, and excellent chemical stability, Ni(OH)2 is considered as a potential candidate for electrode materials of supercapacitors. However, its further applications are limited by its adverse surface chemical properties. In this paper, a composite material consisting of ZIF-67 derived Co-C-N nanosheets and Ni(OH)2 was synthesized facilely on carbon cloth in situ, and based on the collective advantages of the various components, excellent electrochemical performance could be achieved when used as a flexible electrode material of supercapacitors. In detail, the as-obtained sample Ni(OH)2/Co-C-N/CC exhibits an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 2100 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. Moreover, the further assembled asymmetric supercapacitor device exhibits a maximum energy density of 78.6 W h kg-1 at a power density of 749.4 W kg-1. Furthermore, the device also shows outstanding cycling stability with 90.2% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles of charge-discharge. Basically, the remarkable performance can be attributed to the well-developed structure, abundant active sites, complex beneficial components, and their intrinsic properties. Significantly, rational design can broaden the research directions of corresponding electrode materials.

Abstract
In the presence of dry ice, a series of graphitic materials with carboxylated edges (ECGs) were synthesized by ball milling graphite for varied times (24, 36, and 46 h). The influence of carboxylation on the physiochemical characteristics and electrochemical performance as effective electrodes for supercapacitors were assessed and compared with pure graphite. Several characterization techniques were employed to investigate into the morphology, texture, microstructure, and modification of the materials. Due to its interconnected micro-mesoporous carbon network, which is vital for fast charge-discharge at high current densities, storing static charges, facilitating electrolyte transport and diffusion, and having excellent rate performance, the ECG-46 electrode among the investigated samples achieved the highest specific capacitance of 223 F g−1 at 0.25 A g−1 current density and an outstanding cycle stability, with capacitance retention of 90.8% for up to 10,000 cycles. Furthermore, the symmetric supercapacitor device based on the ECG-46 showed a high energy density of 19.20 W h kg−1 at 450.00 W kg−1 power density. With these unique features, ball milling of graphitic material in dry ice represents a promising approach to realize porous graphitic material with oxygen functionalities as active electrodes.

Abstract
In order to lower energy consumption it is critical to develop highly efficient and stable non-precious metal bifunctional catalysts. In this study, we found that rational design of novel nanostructures is able to increase the number of active sites, conductivity and accelerate electron transfer, thus promoting enhanced performance of the catalyst. We successfully synthesized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) containing a hollow polyhedral (CNTHPs) structure through annealing, etching and phosphating. The unique hollow shape not only provides a stable structure but also facilitates mass and charge transfer. Thus, CoP/CNTHPs can catalyze the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions effectively with overpotentials of 147 and 238 mV at 10 mA cm-2. Simultaneously, CoP/CNTHPs only needs a voltage of 1.54 V to attain a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in the electrocatalytic water splitting process, demonstrating its bifunctional activity. Furthermore, the electrolytic catalytic performance does not weaken significantly after 12 hours of electrolysis, demonstrating excellent stability. Overall, this research offers useful insights into rational design of high-performance non-noble metal catalysts.

Abstract
Functional nanoporous materials are categorized as an important class of nanostructured materials because of their tunable porosity and pore geometry (size, shape, and distribution) and their unique chemical and physical properties as compared with other nanostructures and bulk counterparts. Progress in developing a broad spectrum of nanoporous materials has accelerated their use for extensive applications in catalysis, sensing, separation, and environmental, energy, and biomedical areas. The purpose of this review is to provide recent advances in synthesis strategies for designing ordered or hierarchical nanoporous materials of tunable porosity and complex architectures. Furthermore, we briefly highlight working principles, potential pitfalls, experimental challenges, and limitations associated with nanoporous material fabrication strategies. Finally, we give a forward look at how digitally controlled additive manufacturing may overcome existing obstacles to guide the design and development of next-generation nanoporous materials with predefined properties for industrial manufacturing and applications.

Abstract
The continuous carbon dioxide (CO2 ) gas emissions associated with fossil fuel production, valorization, and utilization are serious challenges to the global environment. Therefore, several developments of CO2 capture, separation, transportation, storage, and valorization have been explored. Consequently, we documented a comprehensive review of the most advanced strategies adopted in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for CO2 capture and separation. The enhancements in CO2 capture and separation are generally achieved due to the chemistry of MOFs by controlling pore window, pore size, open-metal sites, acidity, chemical doping, post or pre-synthetic modifications. The chemistry of defects engineering, breathing in MOFs, functionalization in MOFs, hydrophobicity, and topology are the salient advanced strategies, recently reported in MOFs for CO2 capture and separation. Therefore, this review summarizes MOF materials' advancement explaining different strategies and their role in the CO2 mitigations. The study also provided useful insights into key areas for further investigations.

Abstract
Binary transition metal oxides exhibit improved properties including good redox potentials and electrical conductivities compared with single metal oxides as electrode materials in energy storage. Herein, ZIF-67 is prepared by a one-step method using Co2+ as the central metal ion, 2-methylimidazole as the organic ligand, and methanol as an organic solvent at room temperature. Hollow NiCo2O4 and sheet-like Co3O4/NiCo2O4 derived from bimetallic imidazolate framework precursors were synthesized by adding cobalt and nickel ions in appropriate proportions. A hollow and porous structure is achieved for the reaction between a nickel salt and ZIF-67, and this unique nanostructure provides a high active surface area, which is beneficial to the electrochemical properties. Several samples are prepared and used as electrode materials for electrochemical tests in 6 M KOH. As a result, the Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode with a sheet nanostructure showed a high specific capacitance of 846 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. This Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode material is promising for future studies on high-performance supercapacitors to solve emerging energy-related problems. [Formula: see text]

An Investigation of the Electrochemical Properties of CuCo2O4@NiCo2O4 Composite as Binder-Free Electrodes of a Supercapacitor. ENERGIES 2021.

Abstract
Metallic oxides are considered promising candidates for supercapacitors owing to their inherent pseudocapacitive behavior and superior electrochemical properties. In this work, NiCo2O4, CuCo2O4, and CuCo2O4@NiCo2O4 composite electrodes are synthesized directly on a nickel foam substrate via the facile hydrothermal method. The phase of the prepared materials was analyzed using the X-ray diffraction method. The morphology of the prepared binder-free electrodes was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical testing was done in a 2 M KOH solution against an Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The CuCo2O4@NiCo2O4 composite electrode demonstrated a value of specific capacitance as high as 422 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1 and thus outperformed the NiCo2O4 and CuCo2O4 in terms of its electrochemical performance. The CuCo2O4@NiCo2O4 composite retained a specific capacitance of 278 F g−1 even with the increase of current density to 10 A g−1, which corresponds to a 34% loss of capacitance compared to 40% and 48% of individual NiCo2O4 and CuCo2O4 electrodes, respectively. Hence, the synergy in a composite material demonstrates it to be a potential candidate as an electrode in supercapacitors.

Abstract
In this study, zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) derived nano-porous carbon structures that were further hybridized with MnO2 were tested for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as cathode material for fuel cells. The prepared electrocatalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX). Cyclic voltammetry was performed on these materials at different scan rates under dissolved oxygen in basic media (0.1 M KOH), inert and oxygen rich conditions to obtain their I–V curves. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Chronoamperometry was also performed to observe the materials’ impedance and stability. We report improved performance of hybridized catalyst for ORR based on cyclic voltammetry and EIS results, which show that it can be a potential candidate for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
The present analysis focuses on the synthetic methods used for the application of supercapacitors with various mysterious architectures derived from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). ZIFs represent an emerging and unique class of metal–organic frameworks with structures similar to conventional aluminosilicate zeolites, consisting of imidazolate linkers and metal ions. Their intrinsic porous properties, robust functionalities, and excellent thermal and chemical stabilities have resulted in a wide range of potential applications for various ZIF materials. In this rapidly expanding area, energetic research activities have emerged in the past few years, ranging from synthesis approaches to attractive applications of ZIFs. In this analysis, the development of high-performance supercapacitor electrodes and recent strategies to produce them, including the synthesis of various heterostructures and nanostructures, are analyzed and summarized. This analysis goes via the ingenuity of modern science when it comes to these nanoarchitecture electrodes. Despite these significant achievements, it is still difficult to accurately monitor the morphologies of materials derived from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) because the induction force during structural transformations at elevated temperatures is in high demand. It is also desirable to achieve the direct synthesis of highly functionalized nanosized materials derived from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and the growth of nanoporous structures based on ZIFs encoded in specific substrates for the construction of active materials with a high surface area suitable for electrochemical applications. The latest improvements in this field of supercapacitors with materials formed from ZIFs as electrodes using ZIFs as templates or precursors are discussed in this review. Also, the possibility of usable materials derived from ZIFs for both existing and emerging energy storage technologies is discussed. The present analysis focuses on the synthetic methods used for the application of supercapacitors with various mysterious architectures derived from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs).![]()
