Summary: Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly electrochemical desalination process. Nanoporous carbon aerogel (CA) has been considered the ideal electrode material. Waste corn stalks, a common agricultural waste, can be carbonized to provide a mesoporous structure due to its natural sponge-like porous channel structure. Carbon aerogels synthesized from waste corn stalks exhibited a high surface area of 370.37 m(2) g(-1), which can be further increased to 721.42 m(2) g(-1) through KOH activation. The CDI-utilized carbon aerogel electrodes made from waste biomass showed a promising green process with a higher NaCl removal capacity compared to activated carbon from the same source.

Summary: The performance of activated carbon can be improved by optimizing the pore structure and increasing the specific surface area. A high proportion of ultramicropores and a suitable mesopore structure can provide more charge storage sites and promote the diffusion of the electrolyte, thereby reducing the internal resistance of the material. Ultramicropores also enhance the capacitance values of AC-based electrodes. This study provides guidance for improving the application of commercial activated carbon materials as electrodes in supercapacitors.

Summary: The assembly pattern of micelles plays a crucial role in determining the architectures of carbon materials prepared via soft-templating method. In this study, a kinetics-controlled strategy is developed to fabricate ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) single crystals from liquefied wood by regulating the polymerization rate of carbon precursors using melamine. The addition of melamine slows down the reaction kinetics, allowing composite micelles to orderly aggregate and form OMC single crystals with high specific surface areas, uniform mesopore size, and ordered Im3m mesostructure. These OMC single crystals show excellent catalytic performance for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol when coupled with Ag nanoparticles.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
