Summary: Ion desolvation and confinement processes in porous carbon-based supercapacitors undergoing charging and discharging cycles were investigated. It was found that electrolyte species adsorb at the electrode surface and in subnanometric pores. The nanoporosity of the electrodes is filled with ions and scarce water molecules, contributing to about 20% of the overall capacitance. Some desolvated ions are irreversibly trapped in the core of electrodes during discharge. Anodes and cathodes do not carry the same amount of ions at all time steps, leading to charge imbalance.

Summary: This study provides new insights into the synergistic effects of oxygen and nitrogen dual-dopants on carbon-catalyzed NH3-SCR. Density functional theory calculations reveal a new reaction pathway involving the enhancement of O2 activation and NO oxidation by quaternary N and the decrease of energy barriers of intermediate NH2NO evolution by carboxyl as Bronsted acid site coupling H2O as H mediator. Experimental verification using model activated cokes with controllable doping patterns further supports this mechanism. The dual-doped activated coke exhibits superior NO conversion (around 90%) and N2 selectivity (above 90%) with the presence of H2O, and kinetic and in-situ characterizations provide evidence for the reaction pathway on dual-doped carbon. This work offers guidance for the design of high-performance heteroatom doped carbon catalysts for NH3-SCR.

This study reveals the in situ dynamic regulation of the interfacial microenvironment induced by pulsed electrocatalysis in the oxygen reduction reaction process. The coupling of pulsed electrocatalysis and hierarchical pore structure breaks the limitation of proton transfer, resulting in favorable H2O2 production kinetics. The pulsed electric field stimulates the cation effect to activate C-*OOH and reduces the reaction energy barrier, leading to more favorable *OOH formation thermodynamics.
