Nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) is pyrolytically prepared by using the nanocomposites of graphene Quantum dots (GQDs) and chitosan (CS) as the precursor. Due to the existence of GQDs nanofiller, the three-dimensional (3D) interconnected frameworks of CS are well preserved after the pyrolysis treatment; meanwhile, CS in the nanocomposites functions as nitrogen source for the N-C. The obtained N-C exhibits a considerable specific capacitance (545Fg at 1Ag), high rate capability and excellent cyclic stability (88.9% capacitance retention after 5000cycles at 10Ag) when it is used as the electrode materials in supercapacitors. The well-preserved 3D frameworks and N-doping are believed to be responsible for the excellent supercapacitive behaviors of the N-C.

Transition-metal nitrides (TMNs) have garnered considerable attention for energy conversion applications owing to their exceptional electronic structures and high catalytic activities. However, the scarcity of active sites in TMNs impedes their large-scale application. This study describes the use of wetness impregnation and ionic-liquid methods to enhance the electrocatalytic efficiency of molybdenum nitride (MoN) atomic clusters finely dispersed on nitrogen-doped carbon (MoN@NC) substrates.

Herein, NaCl-templated mesoporous hard carbons (NMCs) have been designed and engineered with tunable surface properties as anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) and hybrid capacitors (KICs). By utilizing "water-in-oil" emulsions, the size of NaCl templates is precisely modified, leading to smaller particles that enable the formation of primary carbon structures with reduced particle size and secondary structures with 3D interconnected mesoporosity. These features significantly enhance electrode density, reduce particle-to-particle resistance, and improve electrolyte wettability.

Metal selenides hold promise as feasible anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), but still face problems such as poor potassium storage kinetics and dramatic volume expansion. Coupling heterostructure engineering with structural design could be an effective strategy for rapid and stable K+ storage. Herein, CoSe/MoSe2 heterojunction encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon polyhedron and further interconnected by three-dimensional nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (CoMoSe@NCP/NCFs) is ingeniously constructed.
