Rational Integration of ZIF-8 and BiPO for Energy Storage and Environmental Applications.

Environmental pollution and energy storage are among the most pivotal challenges of today's world. The development of multifunctional materials is required to address these challenges. Our study presents the rational design and synthesis of a hybrid material (ZIF-8@BiPO) with dual functionality: an outstanding supercapacitor electrode and an excellent photocatalyst.

Scalable Fabrication of MXene-PVDF Nanocomposite Triboelectric Fibers via Thermal Drawing.

In the data-driven world, textile is a valuable resource for improving the quality of life through continuous monitoring of daily activities and physiological signals of humans. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) are an attractive option for self-powered sensor development by coupling energy harvesting and sensing ability. In this study, to the best of the knowledge, scalable fabrication of Ti C T MXene-embedded polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite fiber using a thermal drawing process is presented for the first time.
