Two-dimensional (2D) conjugated metal-organic frameworks (c-MOFs) are promising materials for supercapacitor (SC) electrodes due to their high electrochemically accessible surface area coupled with superior electrical conductivity compared to traditional MOFs. In this work, porous and non-porous HHB-Cu (HHB=hexahydroxybenzene), derived through surfactant-assisted synthesis are studied as representative 2D c-MOF models with different characteristics, showing diverse reversible redox reactions with Na and Li in aqueous (10 M NaNO) and organic (1.0 M LiPF in ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate) electrolytes, respectively.

- - Perovskite solar cells are promising for future solar technology, but their commercialization is hindered by stability issues, with current aging tests lacking reliability.
- - A new industrial encapsulation process using a highly viscous adhesive helps reduce stress at key interfaces and incorporates hexagonal boron nitride to enhance thermal and barrier properties.
- - This encapsulation method has proven effective in prolonged aging tests, maintaining over 80% efficiency, and is adaptable for various cell types, including semi-transparent designs for building-integrated solar applications.
