Herein we report about developing new type of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrates based on Au-decorated carbon nanowalls. The designed substrates possess high specific surface area and high sensitivity. Chemical stability of Au perfectly blends with electrical properties and high value of specific surface area of carbon nanowalls. Created structures were applied to detect signals of a typical molecule used for SERS substrates testing, rhodamine 6G, which exhibits electronic absorption in the visible area of spectrum, and biomacromolecules such as tryptophan, guanine, bovine serum albumin and keratin hydrolysates, whose electronic absorption is in the ultraviolet region of spectrum and lies far from the Au plasmonic resonance. The obtained signals for these compounds suggest that the developed substrate is a prominent platform for the detection of biological macromolecules. The properties of the substrate, including its morphology and Au film thickness, as well as the analyte deposition method, were optimized to achieve the optimum Raman signal enhancement. Electric field distribution in the designed structures was calculated to describe the observed dependence of SERS activity on the substrate morphology.

Multiform NiO nanowalls with a high specific surface area were constructed in situ on carbon foam (CF) to construct NiO@CF/OD composite phase change materials (CPCMs). The synthesis mechanism, microstructures, thermal management capability, and photothermal conversion of NiO@CF/OD CPCMs were systematically studied. Additionally, the collaborative enhancement effects of CF and multiform NiO nanowalls on the thermal properties of OD PCMs were also investigated.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a new bifunctional electrocatalyst called NM@NC/CC, which combines NiSe-MoSe heterojunctions and nitrogen-rich porous carbon to enhance water splitting at high current densities.
- - This catalyst significantly improves the efficiency of both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions by optimizing electron transfer, mass dynamics, and active sites, resulting in rapid water-splitting kinetics.
- - With low overpotentials (91 mV for HER and 280 mV for OER at 10 mA/cm²) even under high current densities, NM@NC/CC demonstrates promising potential for advancing sustainable energy technologies.

The development of advanced Pt-alternative anode electrocatalysts with high activity and reliable stability is critical to overcoming the technical challenges of direct methanol fuel cells. Here, we propose a robust bottom-up strategy for the spatial construction of mesoporous hollow carbon sphere (HCS)-embedded MXene architectures decorated with ultrafine Rh nanocrystals (Rh/HCS-MX) via stereoscopic coassembly reactions. The rational intercalation of HCS effectively separates the MXene nanowalls to achieve a rapid mass-transfer efficiency, while the intimate coupling of the hybrid carrier with Rh nanocrystals enables their electronic structure optimization, thus contributing to strong synergistic catalytic effects.

Flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors (FAASC) represent a highly promising power sources for wearable electronics. However, their energy density is relatively less as compared to the conventional batteries. Herein, a novel ultra-high energy density FAASC is developed using nickel-cobalt sulfide (NiCoS)/polyaniline (PANI)/manganese dioxide (MnO) ternary composite on carbon fiber felt (CF) as positive and N, S-co-doped carbon nanofibers (CNF)/CF as negative electrode, respectively.
