Summary: Inspired by the surface structure of the lotus leaf, a novel plains-hills model of carbon structure is proposed to address the trade-off between pseudocapacitance and conductivity in heteroatom-doped carbon materials. By employing CaCl2 as both a complexing agent and an oxygen scavenger, an ultrathin carbon unstacked nanosheet with numerous protuberances is achieved through a facile one-step pyrolysis, leading to the harmonious coexistence of high pseudocapacitance and good conductivity. The obtained plains-hills architecture shows a reversible capacity of 147.2 mAh g(-1) at 10 A g(-1) after 5000 cycles, demonstrating significant energy density enhancement in potassium ion hybrid supercapacitors.

Summary: The synthesis of cassava starch magnetic porous microspheres (AAM-MSMPMs) was accomplished through graft copolymerization in inverse emulsion. The resulting AAM-MSMPM adsorbent exhibited superparamagnetic behavior and demonstrated a high capacity for the adsorption of Cd(II) ions in aqueous solution. The addition of a porogen resulted in a decrease in particle size, an increase in specific surface area, and an enhancement in adsorption capacity. The adsorption process on the AAM-MSMPM followed Langmuir isothermal and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, with chemisorption as the rate-controlling step. The AAM-MSMPM also displayed excellent stability after multiple reuses.

Summary: Developing solid-state electrolyte with sufficient ionic conduction and flexible-intimate interface is crucial for fast-charging solid-state lithium batteries. In this study, a single-ion conducting network polymer electrolyte (SICNP) is proposed to achieve fast lithium-ion locomotion with high ionic conductivity and lithium-ion transference number. The construction of polymer network structure in SICNP facilitates the fast hopping of lithium ions and enables a high dissociation level of the negative charge for close to unity lithium-ion transference number. The solid-state lithium batteries constructed with SICNP and various cathodes exhibit impressive high-rate cycling performance and fast-charging capability. Our study provides a prospective direction for practical fast-charging solid-state lithium batteries.

Summary: Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have potential as a low-cost and high-energy-density energy storage option, but their commercialization is hindered by issues such as the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and slow redox kinetics. Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-derived nanomaterials with their unique physical and chemical configurations have shown promise in effectively managing LiPSs. This review provides an overview of the progress in physical/chemical methods of LiPS management for LSBs and discusses the preparation and application of ZIF-derived nanomaterials for confining and utilizing LiPSs.

Summary: In this study, carbon dots (CDs) with gradually red-shifted fluorescence were synthesized by adjusting the pH values of the reaction system using o-phenylenediamine and dopamine hydrochloride as precursors. The pH adjustment led to enhanced carbonization and cross-linking, resulting in increased sp(2) conjugate domain size and graphitization, which caused the fluorescence red-shift of CDs. Furthermore, the acidic environment favored the formation of carboxyl groups on the CDs surface, promoting the fluorescence red-shift and improving the quantum efficiency. Additionally, CDs-1 was found to have high quantum efficiency (14.8%) and solvent-dependent luminescence, making it a promising fluorescent probe for trace water detection in various solvents.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
