Summary: In this study, WS2/MoS2 samples with different film thickness were prepared by magnetron sputtering technique, and the surface and structural morphology were analyzed. WS2/MoS2 showed the best performance in a three electrode assembly with a maximum specific capacity of 306.6 C g-1. A hybrid battery-supercapacitor device using WS2/MoS2 and activated carbon as electrodes demonstrated good specific capacity with energy and power densities of 32 Wh kg-1 and 51,00 W kg-1, respectively. The hybrid nature of the device was confirmed by computing b-values using power's law. Sputtered WS2/MoS2 shows promise as an electrode for battery-supercapacitor devices.

Summary: As a new type of smart device, soft actuators have gained attention for their simple structure, fast response, and wide range of applications. However, most soft actuators are driven by a single stimulus and lack versatile functionalities. To address this issue, a multi-functional and integrated actuator based on PANI@CNT-CNF composites is proposed. This actuator can respond to humidity and light, making it suitable for biomimetic applications and has the ability of energy storage. Furthermore, an integrated actuator that combines actuation and energy storage is designed and demonstrated to have potential for applications in smart devices.

Summary: Biochar is a carbon-rich solid derived from biomass through thermal treatment in an oxygen-limited environment. Its structural and electrochemical properties can be optimized through customization techniques like increasing porosity, enlarging surface area, enhancing graphitization, and modifying surface functionalities with heteroatoms. This review mainly focuses on the preparation strategies of biochar-based materials for energy and hydrogen storage, as well as the tuning and optimization of their structural properties for specific applications. The hierarchical porous structure with heteroatom surface functionalities is desirable for supercapacitor application, while the graphitic structure and interlayer spacing are critical for battery applications. High surface area, micropore-dominant structure, and oxygen-rich functional groups are required for H2 storage in biochar.

Summary: This study investigated the electrochemical and thermal performances of single-crystal LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode cells based on a perfluorinated electrolyte and found that the capacity of the battery cycling in the perfluorinated electrolyte was as high as 110.12% after 200 cycles. The test results demonstrate that the perfluorinated electrolyte can increase the trigger temperature of thermal runaway by 12.5 degrees C, decrease the highest temperature by 41.2 degrees C, and reduce oxygen release and crack formation, providing a novel direction for addressing the thermal safety issues of high-nickel lithium-ion batteries.
