Abstract
In this study, N-doped layered porous carbon prepared by the high-temperature solid-state method is used as electrode material. Nano calcium carbonate (CaCO3) (40 nm diameter) is used as the hard template, sucrose (C12H22O11) as the carbon source, and melamine (C3H6N6) as the nitrogen source. The materials prepared at 850 °C, 750 °C, and 650 °C are compared with YP-50F commercial super-activated carbon from Japan Kuraray Company. The electrode material at 850 °C pyrolysis temperature has a higher specific surface area and more pores suitable for ion adsorption. Due to these advantages, the salt adsorption capacity (SAC) of the N-doped layered porous carbon at 850 °C reached 12.56 mg/g at 1.2 V applied DC voltage, 500 mg/L initial solution concentration, and 15 mL/min inlet solution flow rate, which is better than the commercial super activated carbon as a comparison. In addition, it will be demonstrated that the N-doped layered porous carbon at 850 °C has a high salt adsorption capacity CDI performance than YP-50F by studying parameters with different applied voltages and flow rates as well as solution concentrations.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based soft and stretchable materials with skin/tissue-like mechanical properties provide new avenues for the design and fabrication of wearable sensors. However, synthesizing multifunctional hydrogels that simultaneously possess excellent mechanical, electrical and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness is still a great challenge. In this work, the freeze-casting method is employed to fabricate a multifunctional hydrogel by filling Fe3O4 clusters into poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite aqueous solution. The hydrogel possesses superior electrical and mechanical properties as well as great electromagnetic wave shielding properties. Benefiting from the high stretchability (∼904.5%) and fast sensing performance (response time ∼9 ms and self-recovery time ∼12 ms within the strain range ∼100%), the monitoring of human activities and manipulation of a remote-controlled toy car using the hydrogel-based stretchable strain sensors are successfully demonstrated. In addition, a great EMI shielding effectiveness with more than 46 dB in the frequencies of 8-12.5 GHz can be obtained, which provides an alternative strategy for designing next-generation EMI shielding materials. These results indicate that the multifunctional hydrogels can be used as flexible and stretchable sensing electronics requiring effective EMI shielding.
