Herein, N-doped graphitic hierarchically porous carbon nanofibers (NGHPCF) were prepared by electrospinning the composite of bimetallic-coordination metal-organic frameworks and polyacrylonitrile, followed by a pyrolysis and acid wash process. Control over the N content, specific surface area, and degree of graphitization of NGHPCF materials has been realized by adjusting the Co/Zn metal coordination content as well as the pyrolysis temperature. The obtained NGHPCF with a high specific surface area (623 m2 g-1) and nitrogen content (13.83 wt%) exhibit a high capacitance of 326 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1. In addition, the capacitance of 170 F g-1 is still maintained at a high current density (40 A g-1); this indicates a high capacitance retention capability. Furthermore, a superb energy density (9.61 W h kg-1) is obtained with a high power density (62.4 W kg-1) using an organic electrolyte. These results fully illustrate that the prepared NGHPCF binder-free electrodes are promising candidates for high-performance supercapacitors.

This work developed a novel oxidized hierarchical porous carbon (OHPC) with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls via a method of air oxidation and used as an efficient adsorbent for Congo red (CR) and Malachite green (MG) removal. Results show that the OHPC2 oxidized at 400 °C possesses three-dimensional hierarchical pores with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls. The prepared OHPC2 not only has a large specific surface area of 1020 m g with a high pore volume, but also has abundant oxygen-containing functional groups.

Glutathione (GSH) is a bioactive tripeptide with important physiological functions in animals, plants, and microorganisms. GSH participates in various biochemical reactions in vivo and is known for its antioxidant, anti-allergy, and detoxification properties. This study introduces an innovative photoelectrochemical (PEC) method for GSH detection, leveraging a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode enhanced by TiO nanoflowers and graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs).

The efficient utilization of light and the prolonged lifetime of photo-induced charge carriers are essential elements that contribute to superior photocatalytic activity. Yolk-shell nanostructures with porous shells and mobile cores offer significant structural advantages in achieving these goals. However, designing yolk-shell multicomponent nanocomposites with diverse architectures remains a persistent challenge.

A lignin-based Fe/N co-doped carbonaceous catalyst was synthesized via freeze-drying followed by pyrolysis to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for efficient degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). The Fe/N co-doped biochar exhibited a high specific surface area (364.84 m/g), hierarchical porous structures, and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups (hydroxyl and carboxyl groups), which enhancing the dispersion of FeO nanoparticle and exposure of catalytic site.

The growth of complex organic macromolecular materials in solution is a pervasive phenomenon in both natural and synthetic systems, yet the underlying growth mechanisms remain largely unresolved. Using liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we elucidate the real-time growth pathways of covalent organic framework (COF) onion nanostructures, which involve graphitic layer formation, subsequent layer attachment, onion ring closure, and structural relaxation. This process is marked by variations in orientation and curvature, driven by the dynamic formation of the COF structure, which further regulates order-disorder transition and defect generation within the framework.
