Summary: This study evaluated the suitability of niobium phosphate (NbPO5) thin films for energy storage applications. The NbPO5 thin films were synthesized using a hydrothermal technique and analyzed for their structural, morphological, elemental, and electrochemical characteristics. The NbPO5 thin films exhibited an orthorhombic crystal structure with a unique surface morphology, and the NbP-6 sample showed excellent energy storage performance and long-term cycling stability. These findings suggest that NbPO5 thin films are promising candidates for supercapacitor applications.

Summary: This study reports the application of composite electrode materials composed of carbon materials and transition metal oxides as electrodes for supercapacitors. In situ N-doped activated carbon (NAC) was prepared by carbonization and KOH activation using polyurethane as raw material, and then hierarchical porous N-doped activated carbon (Cu2O/CuO@NAC) was prepared using Cu(CH3NOO)2 as copper source through impregnation adsorption and hydrothermal treatment. The Cu2O/CuO@NAC composites exhibit high specific surface area and 3D hierarchical porous structure, which is favorable for the capacitive performance, with a remarkable specific capacitance of 1393.4 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. Thus, the composite electrode materials of activated carbon and copper oxide have good prospects for application in supercapacitors.

Summary: A new type of hybrid nanomaterials based on leaf-like copper-based quaternary transition metals and spongy monolayer graphene is developed, showing improved catalysis in water oxidation and electrochemical sensing of glucose. The synergetic catalytic effect of the quaternary Cu-Ni-Fe-Co alloy with dendritic morphology and the highly conductive and spongy structure of the graphene monolayer contribute to the enhanced performance. The hybrid catalyst demonstrates superior efficiency and sensitivity compared to many noble-metal and non-precious metal electrocatalysts in water oxidation and electrochemical sensing applications.
