Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an exceptional class of crystalline materials that have been extensively used to fabricate membranes for various applications such as gas separation, ion transport, and desalination due to their well-defined pore structure, chemical features, and simple synthesis process. The incorporation of graphitic carbon materials in MOFs has garnered significant attention as it can provide abundant nucleation sites and modulate gas transport by influencing the orientation or rigidity of MOF crystals without changing their porous structure. This review insights of previous studies utilizing graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoribbons for MOF-based gas separation membranes, particularly focusing on polycrystalline MOF membrane hybridization with graphitic materials. We also briefly discuss the use of carbon/MOF hybrid materials for preparing mixed matrix membranes.

Renewable Carbon Materials as Electrodes for High-Performance Supercapacitors: From Marine Biowaste to High Specific Surface Area Porous Biocarbons. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:18782-18798. [PMID: 37273638 PMCID: PMC10233711 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c00816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Waste, in particular, biowaste, can be a valuable source of novel carbon materials. Renewable carbon materials, such as biomass-derived carbons, have gained significant attention recently as potential electrode materials for various electrochemical devices, including batteries and supercapacitors. The importance of renewable carbon materials as electrodes can be attributed to their sustainability, low cost, high purity, high surface area, and tailored properties. Fish waste recovered from the fish processing industry can be used for energy applications and prioritizing the circular economy principles. Herein, a method is proposed to prepare a high surface area biocarbon from glycogen extracted from mussel cooking wastewater. The biocarbon materials were characterized using a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analyzer to determine the specific surface area and pore size and by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, Raman analysis, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical characterization was performed using a three-electrode system, utilizing a choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvent (DES) as an eco-friendly and sustainable electrolyte. Optimal time and temperature allowed the preparation of glycogen-based carbon materials, with a specific surface area of 1526 m2 g-1, a pore volume of 0.38 cm3 g-1, and an associated specific capacitance of 657 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1, at 30 °C. The optimal material was scaled up to a two-electrode supercapacitor using a DES-based solid-state electrolyte (SSE@DES). This prototype delivered a maximum capacitance of 703 F g-1 at a 1 A g-1 of current density, showing 75% capacitance retention over 1000 cycles, delivering the highest energy density of 0.335 W h kg-1 and power density of 1341 W kg-1. Marine waste can be a sustainable source for producing nanoporous carbon materials to be incorporated as electrode materials in energy storage devices.

Microstructural tailoring of porous few-layer graphene-like biochar from kitchen waste hydrolysis residue in molten carbonate medium: Structural evolution and conductive additive-free supercapacitor application. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 871:162045.

Abstract
Biomass-derived graphene-like material is a promising candidate for supercapacitor electrodes, while it is critical to controllably convert biomass into structure-tunable graphene. Herein, few-layer graphene-like biochar (FLGBS) was successfully fabricated from waste biomass in molten carbonate medium. Molten carbonate acted as the effective catalyst for graphitizing and the liquid medium for microcrystal relinking to achieve the rearrangement of carbon structure. It was found that the stacking of graphene layer and formation of porous structure were influenced by the volume of reaction medium and biomass pre‑carbonation. Namely, increasing the dosage of molten K2CO3 was in favor to form few layer-type graphene structure, but excess dosage could destroy the nanopore structure to expand the aperture. In addition, pre‑carbonation at high temperature impeded the exfoliation of graphene layers. When FLGBSs were applied to fabricate conductive additive-free electrode, they displayed a superior supercapacitor performance (up to 237.4 F g-1 at 0.5 Ag-1). This excellent performance should be attributed to the large specific surface area, hierarchical pore structure and graphene-like structure. In short, this work could help to get insights into the structural evolution of biomass carbon to graphene-like biochar in molten carbonate medium and achieve the tailoring of microstructure for further application in energy storage.

Recent developments in microplastic contaminated water treatment: Progress and prospects of carbon-based two-dimensional materials for membranes separation. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 316:137704.

Abstract
Micro (nano)plastics pollution is a noxious menace not only for mankind but also for marine life, as removing microplastics (MPs) is challenging due to their physiochemical properties, composition, and response toward salinity and pH. This review provides a detailed assessment of the MPs pollution in different water types, environmental implications, and corresponding treatment strategies. With the advancement in nanotechnology, mitigation strategies for aqueous pollution are seen, especially due to the fabrication of nanosheets/membranes mostly utilized as a filtration process. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are increasingly used for membranes due to their diverse structure, affinity, cost-effectiveness, and, most importantly, removal efficiency. The popular 2D materials used for membrane-based organic and inorganic pollutants from water mainly include graphene and MXenes however their effectiveness for MPs removal is still in its infancy. Albeit, the available literature asserts a 70- 99% success rate in micro/nano plastics removal achieved through membranes fabricated via graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and MXene membranes. This review examined existing membrane separation strategies for MPs removal, focusing on the structural properties of 2D materials, composite, and how they adsorb pollutants and underlying physicochemical mechanisms. Since MPs and other contaminants commonly coexist in the natural environment, a brief examination of the response of 2D membranes to MPs removal was also conducted. In addition, the influencing factors regulate MPs removal performance of membranes by impacting their two main operating routes (filtration and adsorption). Finally, significant limitations, research gaps, and future prospects of 2D material-based membranes for effectively removing MPs are also proposed. The conclusion is that the success of 2D material is strongly linked to the types, size of MPs, and characteristics of aqueous media. Future perspectives talk about the problems that need to be solved to get 2D material-based membranes out of the lab and onto the market.

Abstract
High-throughput DFT calculations are performed to explore the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalytic activity of a series of 2D graphene-based systems with TMO3 or TMO4 functional units. By screening the 3d/4d/5d transition metal (TM) atoms, a total of twelve TMO3@G or TMO4@G systems had extremely low overpotential of 0.33 ∼ 0.59 V, in which the V/Nb/Ta atom in VB group and Ru/Co/Rh/Ir atom in VIII group served as the active sites. The mechanism analysis reveals that the filling of outer electrons of TM atom can play an important role in determining the overpotential value by affecting the ΔGO* value as an effective descriptor. Especially, in addition to the general situation of OER on the clean surface of the systems containing the Rh/Ir metal centers, the self-optimization process of TM-sites was carried out, and it made most of these single-atom catalysts (SAC) systems to have high OER catalytic activity. All these fascinating findings can contribute to an in-depth understanding of the OER catalytic activity and mechanism of the excellent graphene-based SAC systems. This work will facilitate the design and implementation of non-precious and highly efficient OER catalysts in the near future.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) is a biocompatible nanomaterial that has an inhibitory effect on insulin amyloid fibrillation. In order to enhance the inhibitory effect of GO and explore the rules of electrostatic interactions on the inhibitory effect, carboxyl group, PEI and PEG were coupled to the GO nanoplatelet surface to prepare inhibitors of different surface electrical properties. The effects of surface electrical properties of inhibitors on insulin fibrillation were investigated. The results showed that GO, carboxyl group modified GO (GO-COOH), PEI modified GO (GO-PEI), and PEG modified GO (GO-PEG) inhibited insulin fibrillation in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with GO, positive charge-modified GO-PEI and negative charge-modified GO-COOH enhanced the inhibitory effect, while uncharged polymer-modified GO-PEG weakened the inhibitory effect. The inhibitory effect of the inhibitors increased with the increase of surface charge density. The difference in inhibitory effect between GO-PEI and GO-COOH was due to the different electrostatic interactions between inhibitors and insulin, and the different inhibition mechanisms. In addition, inhibitors mainly interact with insulin during the nucleation phase to hinder insulin fibrillation. The charge modifications of graphene oxide enhanced the inhibitory effect on insulin fibrillation based on electrostatic interactions, which will provide new thoughts for the development of anti-amyloid fibrillation drugs.

Abstract
In this work, the thermal conductivity performance of graphene kirigami (GK) was systematically investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results indicate that the degree of defects (DD) on GK has a significant influence on thermal conductivity. Reducing the DD is the most effective way to decrease the thermal conductivity of GK. For zigzag-incised GK sheets, the change rate of thermal conductivity can reach up to 1.86 W/mK per 1% change in DD by tuning the incision length. The rate of changing thermal conductivity with DD can be slowed down by changing the width among incisions. Compared with the zigzag-incised GK sheets, heat transfer across the armchair-incised GK comes out more evenly, without significant steep and gentle stages along the heat transfer routes. More importantly, the GK structure can adjust the thermal conductivity by stretching, which the previously reported nanoporous graphene does not have. The change rate of thermal conductivity achieves about 0.17 W/mK with 1% stretching strain for simulated GK and can be further reduced at high tensile strain rates, benefiting the precise and variable control of the thermal conductivity of the monolayer graphene.

Abstract
We present a comparative investigation between thin films of graphene oxide (GO) and chemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) deposited onto glass substrates via spray pyrolysis. Two reduction techniques are investigated: (1) the exposition of a sprayed layer of GO to vapors of hydrazine hydrate to produce rGOV and (2) the addition of liquid hydrazine hydrate to a suspended GO solution, which is then sprayed onto a substrate to produce rGOL. Three different spectroscopy techniques, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-Vis-NIR, show that the two reduced samples have less lattice disorder in comparison to GO, with rGOL having the highest degree of reduction. Interestingly, topography characterization by atomic force microscopy reveals a morphological change occurring during the exposure to hydrazine hydrate vapors, resulting in a thickness of 110 nm for the rGOV film, which is a factor of 16 larger than rGOL and GO. Finally, I-V measurements show a significant decrease of the GO's resistivity after the reduction process, where rGOL features a resistivity 90 times lower than rGOV, confirming that rGOL has the highest degree of reduction. Our results indicate that the reduction process for rGOV is susceptible to introducing intercalated water molecules in the material while the fabrication technique for rGOL is a suitable route to obtain a material with minimal lattice disorder and properties approaching those of graphene.

Abstract
The excellent electrical conductivity of graphene is due to its highly-conjugated structures. Manipulation of the electronic and mechanical properties of graphene can be achieved by controlling the destruction of its in-sheet conjugation system. Herein, we report the preparation of CoCeSx -SA@BPMW@RGO through π-π stacking interactions at the molecular level. In this study, sodium alginate was reacted with Co2+ and Ce3+ , and the composite was loaded onto a graphene surface. The graphene sheets were prepared using a bi-pyrene terminated molecular wire (BPMW) to avoid re-stacking of the grapheme sheets, thereby forming nanoscale spaces between sheets. The angle between the BPMW coplanar pyrene group and the phenyl group was 33.2°, and the graphene layer is supported in an oblique direction. Finally, a three-dimensional porous composite was obtained after annealing and vulcanization. The obtained CoCeSx -SA@BPMW@RGO exhibited excellent electrical conductivity and remarkable cycle stability. When the current density was 1 A g-1 , its specific capacitance was as high as 1004 F g-1 . BPMW modifies graphene through the synergistic effect of π-π stacking interaction and special structure to obtain excellent electrochemical performance. Moreover, a solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor device was fabricated based on the synthesized CoCeSx -SA@BPMW@RGO hybrid, which exhibited a power density of 979 W kg-1 at an energy density of 23.96 Wh kg-1 .

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) organic materials hold great promise for use in a multitude of contemporary applications due to their outstanding chemical and physical properties. Herein, 2D sheets of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are prepared from a commercially available PEDOT:PSS suspension using ice as a template. The 2D PEDOT:PSS sheets grow in the boundaries of ice crystals as the polymers are "squeezed" out of the suspension when the water solidifies. The mechanical robustness of the sheets can be enhanced by incorporating WO3 nanowires, and the PSS component can be conveniently removed with a concentrated solution of H2SO4 to afford stable suspensions of PEDOT or WO3@PEDOT sheets, either of which can be converted into flexible films with tunable thicknesses via filtration. Swagelok- or pouch-type supercapacitor devices prepared from the WO3@PEDOT films exhibit outstanding energy-storage characteristics, including high rate capability, thickness-independent energy storage (e.g., 701 mF cm-2 is achieved with a 1-mm-thick film), high resistance toward mechanical deformation, and good cycling stability. Additionally, a high energy density of 0.083 mWh cm-2 is measured for a device prepared using a 1-mm-thick film at a high power density of 10 mW cm-2. The methodology described establishes an efficient and readily scalable approach for accessing 2D organic sheets.

Abstract
In this study, a novel nanohybrid composite containing nitrogen-doped multiwalled carbon nanotubes/carboxymethylcellulose (N-MWCNT/CMC) was synthesized for supercapacitor applications. The synthesized composite materials were subjected to an ultrasonication-mediated solvothermal hydrothermal reaction. The synthesized nanohybrid composite electrode material was characterized using analytical methods to confirm its structure and morphology. The electrochemical properties of the composite electrode were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanic charge-discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using a 3 M KOH electrolyte. The fabricated composite material exhibited unique electrochemical properties by delivering a maximum specific capacitance of approximately 274 F g-1 at a current density of 2 A g-1. The composite electrode displayed high cycling stability of 96% after 4000 cycles at 2 A g-1, indicating that it is favorable for supercapacitor applications.
