Carbon matrix metal organic frameworks (MOFs) hybrid is often used as electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we report three dimensional (3D) puffed rice inspired porous carbon (3DPRC) supported Co-MOFs derived composite by facile method. Co/C nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed on porous carbon sheets surface, forming unique 3D structures. As anode of LIBs, the prepared Co/C-3DPRC electrode shows excellent electrochemical properties when compared with the pristine Co/C electrode. With capacity of 430 mAh g at 1C and 300 mAh g at 10C is obtained in the composite electrode, respectively. The excellent properties can attribute to the Co/C-3DPRC interconnected porous framework with a high electrical conductivity and large surface area. Our developed design strategies can be extended for fabrication of other heteroatom doped carbon matrix hybrid for environmental energy fields.

In this study, stems and leaves of the papaya plant were employed to prepare a high-quality porous adsorbent carbonization and chemical activation using phosphoric acid. This adsorbent demonstrates superior adsorption capabilities for the efficient removal of hazardous alizarin red s (ARS) and methylene blue (MB) dyes. Thus, it contributes to waste reduction and promotes sustainable practices in environmental remediation, aligning with global efforts to develop sustainable materials that address water pollution while supporting circular economy principles.

Adsorption-based processes are showing substantial potential for carbon capture. Due to the vast space of potential solid adsorbents and their influence on the process performance, the choice of the material is not trivial but requires systematic approaches. In particular, the material choice should be based on the performance of the resulting process.

Bio-inspired by tactile function of human skin, piezoionic skin sensors recognize strain and stress through converting mechanical stimulus into electrical signals based on ion transfer. However, ion transfer inside sensors is significantly restricted by the lack of hierarchical structure of electrode materials, and then impedes practical application. Here, a durable nanocomposite electrode is developed based on carbon nanotubes and graphene, and integrated into piezoionic sensors for smart wearable applications, such as facial expression and exercise posture recognitions.

Mineral precipitation is ubiquitous in natural and engineered environments, such as carbon mineralization, contaminant remediation, and oil recovery in unconventional reservoirs. The precipitation process continuously alters the medium permeability, thereby influencing fluid transport and subsequent reaction kinetics. The diversity of preferential precipitation zones controls flow and transport efficiency as well as the capacity of mineral sequestration and immobilization.

Supercritical (sc) CO in geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) can chemically and mechanically deteriorate wellbore cement, raising concerns for long-term operations. In contrast to the conventional view of "sulfate attack" on cement, we found that adding 0.15 M sulfate to the acidic brine can significantly reduce the impact of scCO attack on Portland cement, resulting in stronger cement than that found in a sulfate-free system.
