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
Sulfur (S) is an efficient dopant to enhance the sodium storage of carbon, yet the conventional in-situ/post treatments cause unstable S configuration or lower S content, and hence unsatisfied electrochemical performance. Herein, we investigate sulfurization at various cross-link state of coal tar pitch (CTP) (pristine, coke, and carbonized states), and the microstructure of the products (SCTP). Experimental and calculational results reveal that introducing S in the coke state of CTP is essential for achieving abundant and stable C-Sx-C bonds between carbon layers. Moreover, this innovative strategy not only achieves a high S content, but also avoids the liquid carbonization, resulting in a hierarchically porous structure with a small particle size. As a result, the SCTP delivers a sodium storage capacity of 318 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 200th cycle, and the capacity maintains 207 mA h g-1 with capacity retention of 99 % after 1000th cycle at 2.0 A g-1, in half-cells. Moreover, the sample shows a considerable discharge capacity of 328 mA h g-1anode at 0.05 A g-1 in full-cells. Consequently, this approach offers a novel pathway for large-scale production of thermoplastic-derived carbons in battery industry.

Abstract
Developing high-performance carbonaceous anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is still a grand quest for a more sustainable future of energy storage. Introducing sulfur within a carbon framework is one of the most promising attempts toward the development of highly efficient anode materials. Herein, a microporous sulfur-rich carbon anode obtained from a liquid sulfur-containing oligomer is introduced. The sodium storage mechanism shifts from surface-controlled to diffusion-controlled at higher synthesis temperatures. The different storage mechanisms and electrode performances are found to be independent of the bare electrode material's interplanar spacing. Therefore, these differences are attributed to an increased microporosity and a thiophene-rich chemical environment. The combination of these properties enables extending the plateau region to higher potential and achieving reversible overpotential sodium storage. Moreover, in-operando small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) reveals reversible electron density variations within the pore structure, in good agreement with the pore-filling sodium storage mechanism occurring in hard carbons (HCs). Eventually, the depicted framework will enable the design of high-performance anode materials for sodium-ion batteries with competitive energy density.

Abstract
Zinc hybrid supercapacitors (Zn-HSCs) hold immense potential toward the next-generation energy storage systems, effectively spanning the divide between conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors. Unfortunately, the energy density of most of Zn-HSCs has not yet rivalled the levels observed in LIBs. The electrochemical performance of aqueous Zn-HSCs can be enhanced through the chemical functionalization of graphene-based cathode materials with thiol moieties as they will be highly suitable for favoring Zn2+ adsorption/desorption. Here, a single-step reaction is employed to synthesize thiol-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGOSH), incorporating both oxygen functional groups (OFGs) and thiol functionalities, as demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies. Electrochemical analysis reveals that rGOSH cathodes exhibit a specific capacitance (540 F g-1) and specific capacity (139 mAh g-1) at 0.1 A g-1 as well as long-term stability, with over 92% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles, outperforming chemically reduced graphene oxide (CrGO). Notably, rGOSH electrodes displayed an exceptional maximum energy density of 187.6 Wh kg-1 and power density of 48.6 kW kg-1. Overall, this study offers an unprecedented powerful strategy for the design and optimization of cathode materials, paving the way for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions to meet the increasing demands of modern energy applications.

Abstract
Nonconjugated organic radicals with an open-shell radical active group exhibit unique functionality due to their radical pendant site. Compared with the previously studied doped conjugated polymers, radical polymers reveal superior processability, stability, and optical properties. Despite the success of organic radical polymer conductors based on the TEMPO radicals, it still requires potential design substitutions to meet the fundamental limits of charge transport in the radical polymer. To do so, we demonstrate that the amorphous, nonconjugated radical polymer with backbone-pendant group interaction and low glass transition temperature enables the macromolecules to have rapid charge transport in the solid state, resulting in conductivity higher than 32 S m-1. This charge transport is due to the formation of the local ordered regime with an energetically favored orientation caused by the strong coupling between the backbone and pendant group, which can significantly modulate the polymer packing with active electronic communications. The nonconjugate nature of the radical polymer maintains an optical transparency up to 98% at a 1.5 μm thick film. Thus, this effort will be a dramatically advanced model in the organic radical community for the creation of next-generation polymer conductors.

Abstract
The development of all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) is impeded by low coulomb efficiency, short lifetime, poor rate performance, and other problems caused by the rapid growth of lithium (Li) dendrites. Herein, a multiple-diffusion-channel N,S-doped soft carbon with expanded layer spacing is designed/developed by thiourea calcination for dendrite-free anodes. Since the enlarged layer spacing can improve Li+ transportation rate within the layers and N,S-doping can facilitate Li+ transport between the layers, the bulk phase diffusion (not just surface diffusion) kinetics can be improved, which in turn reduces the local current density, inhibits the growth of Li dendrites, and improves the rate performance. The resulting ASSLMB achieves record-high current density (15 mA cm-2 ), areal capacity (20 mAh cm-2 ), energy density (403 Wh kg-1 ), and ultra-long cycle life (13 000 cycles). >305 Wh kg-1 pouch cells are realized, representing one of the most critical breakthroughs for real-world application of ASSLMBs.

Abstract
This study devised a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the quantitative detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). 3-Polythiophene acetic acid (3-PTAA) nanoparticles were anchored onto a few-layer graphene (FLG) nanosheet, and the resulting nanocomposite was utilized as the immunosensor platform. The AFP antibody (anti-AFP) was immobilized on 3-PTAA@FLG via a covalent interaction between the amine group of anti-AFP and the carboxylic group of 3-PTAA via ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) coupling. FLG is largely responsible for providing electrochemical signals, whereas 3-PTAA nanoparticles are well-known for their ability to be compatible with biological molecules in neutral aqueous solutions. Moreover, the carboxyl group present in 3-PTAA effectively binds anti-AFP through EDC/NHS conjugation. Owing to good dispersibility and higher surface area of 3-PTAA, it is very convenient for casting the polymer directly on the electrode substrate followed by immobilization of anti-AFP. Thus, it is feasible to regulate the activity of AFP proteins and control the spatial distribution of the immobilized anti-AFP proteins. The electrochemical sensing performance was assessed via cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. For an increase in the bioconjugate concentration, the results demonstrated a surge in charge-transfer resistance and a consequent decline in the current response. This approach effectively detected AFP at an extended dynamic range of 0.0001-250 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.047 pg/mL. Furthermore, the sensing capacity of the immunosensor for AFP detection has been demonstrated to be steady in real human serum cultures. Our approach exhibits good electrochemical performance in terms of reproducibility, selectivity, and stability, which would surely impart budding applications in the clinical diagnosis of several other tumor markers.

Abstract
Iron/iron phosphide nanospheres supported on ginkgo leaf-derived carbon (Fe&FeP@gl-C) are prepared using a post-phosphidation approach, with varying amounts of iron (Fe). The activity of the catalysts in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) outperforms iron/iron carbide nanospheres supported on ginkgo leaf-derived carbon (Fe&Fex C@gl-C), due to enhanced work function, electron transfer, and Volmer processes. The d-band centers of Fe&FeP@gl-C-15 move away from the Fermi level, lowering the H2 desorption energy and accelerating the Heyrovsky reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the hydrogen-binding free energy |ΔGH* | value is close to zero for the Fe&FeP@gl-C-15 catalyst, showing a good balance between Volmer and Heyrovsky processes. The Fe&FeP@gl-C-15 catalyst shows excellent hydrogen evolution performance in 0.5 m H2 SO4 , driving a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of 92 mV. Notably, the Fe&FeP@gl-C-15 catalyst outperforms a 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst, with a smaller overpotential required to drive a higher current density above 375 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
Heteroatom doping represents a promising strategy for enhancing the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) during the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) using carbon-based catalysts; however, it remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we systematically controlled the structure of metal-free carbon-based materials by introducing different heteroatoms to investigate their efficacy in degrading organic pollutants in water via PMS activation. The results of reactive oxygen species detection showed that the dominant free radical in the four samples was different: CN (•SO4- and •OH), CNS (•O2-), CNCl (1O2), and CNClS (1O2). This led to the transformation of active species from free radicals to non-free radicals. The tri-doped carbons with nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine (CNClS) exhibited exceptional performance in PMS activation and achieved a remarkable degradation efficiency of 95% within just 6 min for tetracycline. Moreover, a strong linear correlation was observed between the ratio of pyridine-N/graphite-N and ID/IG with the yield of 1O2, indicating that N species and defects play a crucial role in CNClS as they facilitate the transition from radical to non-radical pathways during PMS activation. These findings highlight the possibility that adjustable tri-heteroatom doping will expand the Fenton-like reaction for the treatment of actual wastewater.

Abstract
Mesoporous carbon spheres (MCSs) show great potential for using as high-performance anodes in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Design and synthesis of MCSs with suitable multiscale structures and heteroatom doping or co-doping in MCSs are successfully employed to optimize the ion and electron transportation, however, it is still a challenge to explore MCS-based anodes with satisfactory potassium storage performance. In this work, we report novel S-doped MCS samples with abundant internal surfaces for potassium storage. The S doping sites are controlled during the synthesis, and the effect of different doping sites on the potassium storage is systematically studied. It is found that S doping between the carbon layers enlarges interlayer spacing and facilitates potassium ion adsorption. Consequently, the optimized sample shows an excellent rate capability of 144 mAh/g at 5.0 A/g, and a high reversible specific capacity of 325 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 0.1 A/g with a capacity retention of 91.2%. The important role of element doping sites on ion adsorption and ion storage performance is confirmed by theoretical investigations. Controlling the doping sites in MCSs provides a new approach to designing high-performance electrodes for energy storage and conversion applications.

Abstract
Currently, Zn-based catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions are limited by their moderate carbophilicity, resulting in low catalytic activity and CO selectivity. To this end, we selected 5-mercapto-1-methylimidazole, a small molecule that possesses the ability to both coordinate to Zn and interact with the intermediates, to modify electrochemically deposited Zn nanosheets. The interaction between them effectively enhances intermediate adsorption by lowering the Gibbs free energy, which leads to an increase of the Faraday efficiency to 1.9 times and the CO partial current density to 3.0 times that of the pristine sample (-1.0 V vs. RHE).

Abstract
Hard Carbon have become the most promising anode candidates for sodium-ion batteries, but the poor rate performance and cycle life remain key issues. In this work, N-doped hard carbon with abundant defects and expanded interlayer spacing is constructed by using carboxymethyl cellulose sodium as precursor with the assistance of graphitic carbon nitride. The formation of N-doped nanosheet structure is realized by the CN• or CC• radicals generated through the conversion of nitrile intermediates in the pyrolysis process. This greatly enhances the rate capability (192.8 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 ) and ultra-long cycle stability (233.3 mAh g-1 after 2000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 ). In situ Raman spectroscopy, ex situ X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis in combination with comprehensive electrochemical characterizations, reveal that the interlayer insertion coordinated quasi-metallic sodium storage in the low potential plateau region and adsorption storage in the high potential sloping region. The first-principles density functional theory calculations further demonstrate strong coordination effect on nitrogen defect sites to capture sodium, especially with pyrrolic N, uncovering the formation mechanism of quasi-metallic bond in the sodium storage. This work provides new insights into the sodium storage mechanism of high-performance carbonaceous materials, and offers new opportunities for better design of hard carbon anode.

Abstract
Carbon-based materials have received wide attention as electrodes for energy storage and conversion owing to their rapid mass transfer processes, outstanding electronic conductivities, and high stabilities. Here, sulfur-doped carbonized bacterial cellulose (S-CBC) was prepared as a high-performance anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) by simultaneous carbonization and sulfidation using the bacterial cellulose membrane produced by microbial fermentation as the precursor. Doping sublimed sulfur powder into CBC results in a greater degree of disorder and defects, buffering the volume expansion during the cycle. Significantly, the three-dimensional (3D) network structure of bacterial cellulose endows S-CBC with flexible self-support. As an anode for sodium ion batteries, S-CBC exhibits a high specific capacity of 302.9 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 50 cycles and 177.6 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. Compared with the CBC electrode, the S-CBC electrode also exhibits enhanced rate performance in sodium storage. Moreover, theoretical simulations reveal that Na+ has good adsorption stability and a faster diffusion rate in S-CBC. The doping of the S element introduces defects that enlarge the interlayer distance, and the synergies of adsorption and bonding are the main reasons for its high performance. These results indicate the potential application prospects of S-CBC as a flexible binder-free electrode for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Sulfur (S) doping is an effective method for constructing high-performance carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries. However, traditional designs of S-doped carbon often exhibit low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE), poor rate capability, and impoverished cycle performance, limiting their practical applications. This study proposes an innovative design strategy to fabricate S-doped carbon using sulfonated sugar molecules as precursors via high-energy ball milling. The results show that the high-energy ball milling can immobilize S for sulfonated sugar molecules by modulating the chemical state of S atoms, thereby creating a S-rich carbon framework with a doping level of 15.5 wt %. In addition, the S atoms are present mainly in the form of C-S bonds, facilitating a stable electrochemical reaction; meanwhile, S atoms expand the spacing between carbon layers and contribute sufficient capacitance-type Na-storage sites. Consequently, the S-doped carbon exhibits a large capacity (>600 mAh g-1), a high ICE (>90%), superior cycling stability (490 mAh g-1 after 1100 cycles at 5 A g-1), and outstanding rate performance (420 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 50 A g-1). Such excellent Na-storage properties of S-doped carbon have rarely been reported in the literatures before.

Abstract
An abundant hollow nanostructure is crucial for fast Li+ and K+ diffusion paths and sufficient electrolyte penetration, which creates a highly conductive network for ionic and electronic transport. In this study, we successfully developed a molecular-bridge-linked, organic-inorganic hybrid interface that enables the preparation of in situ nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanospheres. Moreover, the prepared HCNSs, with high nitrogen content of up to 10.4%, feature homogeneous and regular morphologies. The resulting HCNSs exhibit excellent lithium and potassium storage properties when used as electrode materials. Specifically, the HCNS-800 electrode demonstrates a stable reversible discharge capacity of 642 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 after 500 cycles for LIBs. Similarly, the electrode maintains a discharge capacity of 205 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 500 cycles for KIBs. Moreover, when coupled with a high-mass-loading LiFePO4 cathode to design full cells, the HCNS-800‖LiFePO4 cells provide a specific discharge capacity of 139 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C. These results indicate that the HCNS electrode has promising potential for use in high-energy and environmentally sustainable lithium-based and potassium-based batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as promising energy storage devices owing to the similar "rocking chair" working mechanism as lithium-ion batteries and abundant and low-cost sodium resource. However, the large ionic radius of the Na-ion (1.07 Å) brings a key scientific challenge, restricting the development of electrode materials for SIBs, and the infeasibility of graphite and silicon in reversible Na-ion storage further promotes the investigation of advanced anode materials. Currently, the key issues facing anode materials include sluggish electrochemical kinetics and a large volume expansion. Despite these challenges, substantial conceptual and experimental progress has been made in the past. Herein, we present a brief review of the recent development of intercalation, conversion, alloying, conversion-alloying, and organic anode materials for SIBs. Starting from the historical research progress of anode electrodes, the detailed Na-ion storage mechanism is analyzed. Various optimization strategies to improve the electrochemical properties of anodes are summarized, including phase state adjustment, defect introduction, molecular engineering, nanostructure design, composite construction, heterostructure synthesis, and heteroatom doping. Furthermore, the associated merits and drawbacks of each class of material are outlined, and the challenges and possible future directions for high-performance anode materials are discussed.

Abstract
Sulfur-rich molecular complexes of dithiolene-like ligands are appealing candidates as molecular spin qubits because spin coherence properties are enhanced in hydrogen-free environments. Herein, we employ the hydrogen-free mononegative 1,3,2-dithiazole-4-thione-5-thiolate (dttt-) ligand as an alternative to common dinegative dithiolate ligands. We report the first synthesis and structural characterization of its Cu2+, Ni2+, and Pt2+ neutral complexes. The XPS analysis of thermal deposition of [Cu(dttt)2] in UHV conditions indicates that films of intact molecules can be deposited on surfaces by sublimation. Thanks to a combined approach employing DC magnetometry and DFT calculations, we highlighted AF exchange interactions of 108 cm-1 and 36 cm-1 attributed to the two different polymorph phases. These couplings are exclusively mediated by S···S VdW interactions, which are facilitated by the absence of counterions and made particularly efficient by the diffuse electron density on S atoms. Furthermore, the spin dynamics of solid-state magnetically diluted samples was investigated. The longest observed T m is 2.3 μs at 30 K, which significantly diverges from the predicted T m > 100 μs. These results point to the diluting matrix severely affecting the coherence lifetime of Cu2+ species via different factors, such as the contributions of neighboring 14N nuclei and the formation of radical impurities in a non-completely controllable way. However, the ease of processing [Cu(dttt)2] via thermal sublimation can allow dispersion in matrices better suited for coherent spin manipulation of isolated molecules and the realization of AF-coupled VdW structures on surfaces.

Abstract
Amorphous carbon monoliths with tunable microstructures are candidate anodes for future lithium-based energy storage. Enhancing lithium storage capability and solid-state diffusion kinetics are the precondition for practical applications. Transforming intrinsic oxygen-rich defects into active sites and engineering enlarged interlayer spacing are of great importance. Herein, a novel explosion strategy is designed based on oxalate pyrolysis producing CO and CO2 to successfully prepare lignin-derived carbon monolith (LSCM) with active carbonyl (C═O) groups and enlarged interlayer spacing. Explosion promotes the demethylation of methoxyl groups and cleavage of carboxyl groups to form C═O groups. CO2 etches carbon atoms in a short time to improve the heteroatom level, expanding the interlayer spacing. ZnC2O4 is decomposed at 400 °C, simultaneously producing CO and CO2, which constructs less C═O groups and large interlayer spacing. MgC2O4 is decomposed at 450 and 480 °C, staged-weakly producing CO and CO2, which constructs more C═O groups and larger interlayer spacing. CaC2O4 is decomposed at 480 and 700 °C, staged-uniformly producing CO and CO2, which constructs abundant C═O groups and largest interlayer spacing. The LSCM prepared by staged-uniform explosion exhibits high lithium storage capacity, superior rate capability, and cycling performance. The assembled lithium ion capacitor device achieves excellent energy/power densities of 78 Wh kg-1/100 W kg-1 and superior durability (capacitance retention of 8 4.6% after 20,000 cycles). This work gives a novel insight to engineer advanced oxygen-functionalized carbons for enhanced lithium storage.

Abstract
Sustainable, high-performance carbonaceous anode materials are highly required to bring sodium-ion batteries to a more competitive level. Here, we exploit our expertise to control the deposition of a nm-sized conformal coating of carbon nitride with tunable thickness to improve the electrochemical performance of anode material derived from sodium lignosulfonate. In this way, we significantly enhanced the electrochemical performances of the electrode, such as the first cycle efficiency, rate-capability, and specific capacity. In particular, with a 10 nm homogeneous carbon nitride coating, the specific capacity is extended by more than 30% with respect to the bare carbon material with an extended plateau capacity, which we attribute to a heterojunction effect at the materials' interface. Eventually, the design of (inter)active electrochemical interfaces will be a key step to improve the performance of carbonaceous anodes with a negligible increase in the material weight.

Abstract
The application of nitrogen-doped porous carbon for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) has attracted tremendous attention. Herein, a series of edge-nitrogen enriched porous carbon nanosheets (ENPCNs) are synthesized by annealing g-C3 N4 and glucose in a sealed graphite crucible at different temperatures (T = 700, 800, and 900 °C). Surprisingly, under the closed thermal treatment condition, the ENPCNs-T possess a high N-doping level (>12.62 at%) and different carbon interlayer distance ranging from 0.429 to 0.487 nm. By correlating the carbon interlayer distance with the N configurations of ENPCNs-T materials, a reasonable perception of the important influence of pyrrolic N on the increase of carbon interlayer distance is proposed. When applied as anode materials for SIBs, the ENPCNs-800 exhibits a remarkable capacity (294.1 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), excellent rate performance (132.8 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 ), and outstanding cycle life (180.6 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of 104.7%). Meanwhile, the characterizations of cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic intermittent titration technique, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrate that the edge-nitrogen doping and enlarged carbon interlayer distance improve the capacity and fast charging performance of ENPCNs-800. Considering the detailed investigation of the Na+ storage mechanism and excellent electrochemical performance of ENPCNs-800, this work can pave a new avenue for the research of SIBs.

Abstract
A novel, metal-free electrode based on heteroatom (S, N, P, O)-doped carbon nanoplates (SNPO-CPL) modifying lead pencil graphite (LPG) has been synthesized by carbonizing a unique heteroatom (S, N, P, O)-containing novel polymer, poly(cyclcotriphosphazene-co-2,5-dioxy-1,4-dithiane) (PCD), for precise screening of dopamine (DA). The designed electrode, SNPO-CPL-800, with optimized percentage of S, N, P, O doping through the sp2-carbon chain, and a large number of surface defects (thus leading to a maximum exposition number of catalytic active sites) led to fast molecular diffusion through the micro-porous structure and facilitated strong binding interaction with the targeted molecules in the interactive signaling transducer at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The designed SNPO-CPL-800 electrode exhibited a sensitive and selective response towards DA monitoring, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.01 nM. We also monitored DA levels in commercially available chicken samples using the SNPO-CPL-800 electrode even in the presence of interfering species, thus proving the effectiveness of the designed electrode for the precise monitoring of DA in real samples. This research shows there is a strong potential for opening new windows for ultrasensitive DA monitoring with metal-free electrodes.

Abstract
Hydrogen is one of the cleanest renewable and environmentally friendly energy resource that can be generated through water splitting. However, hydrogen evolution occurs at high overpotential, and efficient hydrogen evolution catalysts are desired to replace state-of-the-art catalysts such as platinum. In the present work, a novel molybdenum disulfide decorated banana peel porous carbon (MoS2@BPPC) catalyst has been developed using banana peel carbon and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Banana peel porous carbon (BPPC) was initially synthesized from the banana peel (biowaste) by a simple carbonization method. Subsequently, 20 wt% of bare MoS2 was distributed on the pristine BPPC matrix using the dry-impregnation method. The resulting MoS2@BPPC composites were systematically investigated to determine the morphology and structure. Finally, using a three-electrode cell system, pristine BPPC, bare MoS2, and MoS2@BPPC composite were used as HER electrocatalysts. The developed MoS2@BPPC composite showed greater HER activity and possessed excellent stability in the acid solution, including an overpotential of 150 mV at a current density of -10 mA cm-2, and a Tafel slope of 51 mV dec-1. This Tafel study suggests that the HER takes place by Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism with a rate-determining Heyrovsky step. The excellent electrochemical performance of MoS2@BPPC composite for HER can be ascribed to its unique porous nanoarchitecture. Further, due to the synergetic effect between MoS2 and porous carbon. The HER activity using the MoS2@BPPC electrode advises that the prepared catalyst may hold great promise for practical applications.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an important reaction in water splitting. However, the high cost and slow-rate catalysts hinder commercial applications. Although an important process for manufacturing of hollow structures, it is difficult to construct complicated hollow structures with an excellent and regulable shape for multi-component materials. In this study, we demonstrate that sulfur-Co,Fe bimetallic nitrogen carbon hollow composite hybrids (x-S-CoFe@NC) can be synthesized by regulating the amount of sulfur and using the hydrothermal method. For OER, 32-S-CoFe@NC exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity with a low overpotential of 232 mV, which is higher than those of 0-S-CoFe@NC (270 mV), 23-S-CoFe@NC (247 mV), and RuO2 (243 mV) catalysts at 10 mA cm-2. In addition, with air as the cathode, a rechargeable Zn-air battery with outstanding long-life cycling stability for 80 hours based on 32-CoFe@NC + Pt/C is proposed. The advanced technique described here supplies a new route for preparing hollow transition bimetal carbon hybrids with an adjustable composite arrangement for electrocatalysis and water splitting.

Abstract
Solid-state supercapacitors have shown extraordinary promise for flexible and wearable electronics. To date, they are still limited by relatively poor energy volumetric performances, which are largely determined by the pore structures and physicochemical properties of electrode materials. Moreover, the poor mechanical properties afforded because of the intrinsic shortcomings of electrode materials need to be resolved. Herein, we designed a flexible and solid-state yarn electrode with high porosity and high affinity toward electrolytes using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and Korean heritage paper (KHP). To maximize the volumetric capacitive energy storage, PEDOT-loaded conductive KHP sheets (two-dimensional) were transformed into a biscrolled yarn (one-dimensional) via simple twisting. The volumetric capacitance of the biscrolled yarn supercapacitors with 1 mm cell diameter exhibited a volumetric specific capacitance of ∼6576 mF/cm3 at a scan rate of 25 mV/s, which is attributable to the high mass loading of PEDOT as a conductive support and increased packing density. Moreover, multiple optimized yarn supercapacitors can be connected to yield a total length of 1 m, demonstrating enormous potential as a portable and wearable power supply for operating smartwatches.

Abstract
In this study, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from Magnolia Grandiflora flower as a carbon precursor were obtained using a hydrothermal method under the optimized conditions affected by various heating times (14, 16, 18, and 20 min) and various electric power inputs (900-1400 W). Then, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) was added to dope the CQDs under the same manner. The aqueous solution of the S-CQDs were characterized by FTIR, XPS, EDX/SEM, and TEM, with nanoparticle size at around 4 nm. Then, the as-prepared S-CQDs were successfully applied with fine corn starch for detection of minutiae latent fingerprints on non-porous surface materials. It is demonstrated that the minutiae pattern is more clearly seen under commercial UV lamps with a bright blue fluorescence intensity. Therefore, this research has proved that the S-CQDs derived from plant material have a better potential as fluorescent probes for latent fingerprint detection.

Abstract
In this study, the anionic state of Ceftriaxone sodium (Cefx) and Ceftazidime (Cefz) medication corrosion inhibition capabilities for Al in 0.1 M NaOH solution are explored using various electrochemical analyses. Furthermore, the morphological structure and surface chemical composition of the impact of these drugs on the Al substrate in NaOH are investigated. For the prediction and analysis of interactions between molecule structure and inhibition efficiency, quantum chemical calculations (QC), Monte Carlo simulations (MC), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (MD) are performed. The electrochemical findings reveal that the inhibitory effectiveness increases with increasing drug concentrations and declines with rising temperature, reaching a maximum value of 78.4% for 300 ppm Cefx while 59.5% for 300 ppm Cefz at 293 K, implying that Cefx outperforms for Cefz. In addition, the studied drugs act as cathodic inhibitors, and their adsorption is spontaneous and mixed type adsorption in its nature that obeys Freundlich isotherm for Cefz while Temkin isotherm is the best-fitted one for Cefx. Surface analysis and wettability measurements imply that Cefx and Cefz shield the Al against corrosion by surface adsorption and generating a protective hydrophobic film. Thermodynamic activation parameters in the absence and presence of 300 ppm of the studied drugs are calculated and discussed. The energies of the border molecular orbitals and computed molecular parameters for the investigated drugs revealed that anionic Cefx is more readily adsorbed on the Al surface than Cefz. This finding is validated further using MC and MD simulations. Overall, the proposed cephalosporin drugs delivered a cost-effective and facile approach for boosting the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors for Al under aggressive conditions.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) have raised broad interest because of their great potential in the fluorescence related fields, such as photocatalysis and bioimaging. CDs exhibit different optical properties when dissolved in various solvents. However, the effects of solvents during the process of preparation on the fluorescence emission of CDs are still unclear. In this work, CDs were prepared by a simple one-pot solvothermal route. Typical critic acid and thiourea were used as precursors. Through changing the volume ratio of water to N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), we have obtained color tunable CDs, with the emission wavelength from 450 to 640 nm. TEM images, Raman and XPS spectra indicate that the particle size of CDs and the content of surface functional groups (C-N/C-S and C≡N bonds) increase with the increasing ratio of DMF to water, which results in the optimal emission wavelength red-shifted. The prepared multicolor CDs may have prospects in the lighting applications.

Abstract
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) provides a sustainable strategy to relieve global warming and achieve carbon neutrality. However, the practical application of CO2 RR is still limited by the poor selectivity and low current density. Here, the surface molecular functionalization of unusual phase metal nanomaterials for high-performance CO2 RR under industry-relevant current density is reported. It is observed that 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole (MMT)-modified 4H/face-centered cubic (fcc) gold (Au) nanorods demonstrate greatly enhanced CO2 RR performance than original oleylamine (OAm)-capped 4H/fcc Au nanorods in both an H-type cell and flow cell. Significantly, MMT-modified 4H/fcc Au nanorods deliver an excellent carbon monoxide selectivity of 95.6% under the industry-relevant current density of 200 mA cm-2 . Density functional theory calculations reveal distinct electronic modulations by surface ligands, in which MMT improves while OAm suppresses the surface electroactivity of 4H/fcc Au nanorods. Furthermore, this method can be extended to various MMT derivatives and conventional fcc Au nanostructures in boosting CO2 RR performance.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors, also known as supercapacitors (SCs), have lately played an important role in energy storage and conversion systems due to their specific characteristics such as high strength, durability, and environmental friendliness. A wide range of materials is used as electrodes for SC applications because the electrochemical efficiency is primarily determined by the electrode materials used. Carbonaceous materials with unique surface, chemical, electrochemical, and electronic characteristics have become attractive for energy storage research, but they cannot meet the rising need for high specific energy and specific power. Besides, heteroatom-doped carbon materials have shown pseudocapacitance characteristics and improved specific energy, specific power, and conductivity. This makes them more adaptable in SC application. Among different heteroatom doping of carbon, S-doped carbon has gained considerable attention in SC applications due to its unpaired electrons and easily polarizable nature. S-doped carbon materials-based SCs have demonstrated enhanced surface wettability, improved conductivity, and induced pseudocapacitance effect, thereby delivering improved specific energy and specific power. Many reports on S-doped carbon for SC applications have been published, but there is no specific Review on the preparation of S-doped carbon for SC applications. This Review focuses on recent developments in the field of SC electrodes made from S-doped carbon materials. Herein, the preparation methods and applications of S-doped carbon for SCs were summarized following a brief discussion of different electrochemical characterization techniques of SCs. Finally, the challenges of S-doped carbon materials and their potential prospects were discussed to give crucial insights into the favorable factors for future innovations of SC electrodes. This Review aims to provide insight for further research on the preparation of S-doped carbon for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Fluorine (F) atoms with the highest electronegativity and low polarizability can easily modify the surface and composition of carbon-based electrode materials. However, this is accompanied by complete irreversibility and uncontrolled reactivity, thus hindering their use in rechargeable electronic devices. Therefore, understanding the electrochemical effects of the C-F configuration might lead to achieving superior electrochemical properties. Here, we demonstrate that the fluorinated and simultaneously reduced graphene oxide (FrGO) was easily synthesized through direct gas fluorination. The as-prepared 11%-FrGO electrode exhibited a high capacity (1365 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), remarkable rate capability, and good stability (64% retention after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1). Furthermore, the annealed FrGO (11%-FrGO(A)) electrode in which the C-F bond configurations were controlled by facile thermal treatment shows long-term stability (80% retention after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1). Above a certain content, F atoms enhance Li-ion adsorption and electron transfer, accelerate Li-ion diffusion, and facilitate the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase layer. In particular, the C-F configuration plays a significant role in retaining the capacity under harsh recharging conditions. The results in this study could provide valuable insights into the field of rechargeable devices.

Abstract
Traditional disposal techniques for the spent layered adsorbents after capturing organics suffer from intractable obstacles, such as resource waste and secondary pollution. To address this diploma, we here developed the "resource-utilization" strategy, i.e., converting the organic layered double hydroxide (as representative) to magnetic sulfur (S)-doped graphene-like carbon-supported layered double oxide (MG/S-LDO) to be reutilized in water purification. The as-prepared MG/S-LDO exhibited outstanding remediation ability toward methyl orange (MO) and lead(II), with the adsorption capacity of 1456 and 656 mg g-1, respectively. Specifically, the residue concentration of Pb2+ was reduced to 0.15 mg L-1 within 1 h, which met the discharge limit of the secondary industrial wastewater. MG/S-LDO could also maintain the preeminent adsorption capability under various interferences (such as wide pH and co-existing ions), even in the authentic water matrices. The removal mechanisms were systematically investigated to unveil that MO removal was dominated by metal-complexation, "memory effect", and π-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA). While for Pb2+ removal, besides the released OH- from LDO as precipitate agent, the vacancy defect resulting from the S doping played a crucial role in electron interaction between Pb2+ and S-doped graphene. Additionally, the MG/S-LDO was further confirmed as an eco-friendly adsorbent with excellent reusability via the acute toxicity tests using green algae and multiple cycle experiments. This work provides a novel resource-utilization strategy for organic layered wastes to construct the functional eco-friendly materials in wastewater purification realm.

Abstract
Durian peels are an agricultural waste in Asian countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which can be used as a precursor for the production of activated carbon. The objective of this work is to produce activated carbon from durian peels by chemical activation using sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) as an activating and sulfur-doping agent. The process parameter investigated in this study was the activation temperature (500-900 °C) at a fixed impregnation ratio (durian to activating agent of 1:1, by weight). Specific surface areas and pore structures were determined by nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurements, and elemental compositions were characterized by CHNSO analysis. The chemical structure and surface functionality were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of the obtained activated carbon was characterized in 6 M KOH using a three-electrode configuration. It was found that the sulfur content decreases with activation temperature. In contrast, the specific surface area of the activated carbon increases with activation temperature. However, the sample activated at 900 °C with the highest specific surface area (1499 m2 g-1) has a lower specific capacitance (166 F g-1) than the one activated at 700 °C (183 F g-1). This could be due to the presence of a pseudocapacitance caused by the organic sulfur functional groups such as thiophene, sulfone, and sulfoxide, which can trigger a surface redox reaction, leading to a higher capacitance.

Abstract
Numerous studies have reported that the enhancement of rate capability of carbonaceous anode by heteroatom doping is due to the increased diffusion-controlled capacity induced by expanding interlayer spacing. However, percentage of diffusion-controlled capacity is less than 30% as scan rate is larger than 1 mV s-1 , suggesting there is inaccuracy in recognizing principle of improving rate capability of carbonaceous anode. In this paper, it is found that the heteroatom doping has little impact on interlayer spacing of carbon in bulk phase, meaning that diffusion-controlled capacity is hard to be enhanced by doping. After synergizing with tensile stress, however, the interlayer spacing in subsurface region is obviously expanded to 0.40 nm, which will increase the thickness of accessible subsurface region at high current density. So SRNDC-700 electrodes display a high specific capacity of 160.6 and 69.5 mAh g-1 at 20 and 50 A g-1 , respectively. Additionally, the high reversibility of carbon structure insures ultralong cycling stability and hence attenuation of SRNDC-700 is only 0.0025% per cycle even at 10 A g-1 for 6000 cycles. This report sheds new insight into mechanism of improving electrochemical performance of carbonaceous anode by doping and provides a novel design concept for doping carbon.

Abstract
A preparation of colloidal activated carbon (CAC) for phenol remediation from groundwater was introduced. The CAC prepared by a simple pulverization technique was an excellent metal-free catalyst for persulfate (PS) activation due to high contact surface area. The removal efficiency of phenol in the PS/CAC system (~100%) was higher than that in the PS/activated carbon (AC) system (90.1%) and was superior to the conventional PS/Fe2+ system (27.9%) within 30 min. The phenol removal reaction occurred both in bulk solution and at the surface of the CAC, as confirmed by Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) kinetic model fitting, FT-IR, and electron spin resonance (ESR) analyses. The downsizing of particle size from AC to CAC played a critical role in the radical oxidation mechanism by leading to the formation of predominant superoxide radical (O2•-) species in the PS/CAC system. Anions NO3-, SO42-, and Cl- slightly inhibited the phenol removal efficiency, whereas CO32-, HCO3- and PO43- did not. Ferulic acid (C10H10O4) was detected as an organic byproduct of phenol oxidation. The use of CAC as a metal-free bifunctional catalyst has an important implication in the PS activation for phenol degradation in groundwater.

Abstract
Superamphiphilic materials have great potential to enhance the mass transfer between phases in liquid-liquid catalysis due to their special affinities. Constructing superamphiphilic surfaces that possess superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic properties simultaneously has been a tough assignment. So, exploration of simple methods to prepare such materials using renewable and abundant feedstocks is highly desired. Here, we reported an effective strategy to construct superamphiphilic carbon directly from sodium lignosulfonate, which is a renewable resource from paper industry wastes. From the characterization of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for superamphiphilic carbon, we found that element C was responsible for the hydrophobic nature and the existence of O and S endowed the carbon with hydrophilic characteristics. Further, micro/nanohierarchical pores were found beneficial for the superamphiphilicity of carbon. Meantime, in the selective hydrogenation of styrene, phenylacetylene, and cis-stilbene in liquid-liquid systems, conversion became double using superamphiphilic carbon compared with blank results, and the yields were three times more than those in blank experiments. The reasons were that superamphiphilic carbon induced the formation of Pickering emulsions and enriched the reactants around catalysts, as concluded by the characterization of confocal laser scanning microscopy and relating contrastive experiments. This work revealed a different route to obtain superamphiphilic carbon and provided a diverse perspective to promote Pickering emulsion catalysis by the superamphiphilicity of carbon.

Abstract
Rationally nanostructured electrode materials exhibit excellent sodium-ion storage performance. In particular, yolk-shell configurations of metal chalcogenide@void@C are introduced in various synthetic strategies for use as superior anode materials. Herein, yolk-shell-structured nanospheres, with goat pupil-like configuration of S-doped SnSe yolks and hollow carbon shells, are synthesized by salt-infiltration and a simple post-treatment procedure. Impressively, the co-infiltration of thiourea and selenium oxide enables the doping of sulfur into SnSe (SnSeS) and carbon shells, as well as the formation of a goat pupil-like yolk-shell architecture. High-reactivity thiourea-derived H2 S gas forms nanocrystals inside the carbon nanospheres. The nanocrystals act as seeds for the crystal growth of SnSeS through Ostwald ripening. The unique yolk-shell structure and composition with a heterointerface provide not only structural stability but also fast electrode reaction kinetics during repeated cycling. The SnSeS@C electrode shows an excellent cycle life (186 mA h g-1 for 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 ) and rate capability (112 mA h g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 ).
