The lithium/sulfuryl chloride battery has been used as a primary power source because of its high energy/power density and level of safety. However, disadvantages regarding the sluggish kinetics of the electrode materials have limited its further energy related applications. Herein, we report an efficient approach to prepare nitrogen-doped graphene nanocages with high surface roughness to overcome this issue. The combination of a porous wrinkled surface and hollow structure can properly accommodate the volume-change, promote charge transfer, and enhance structural stability. The designed composite electrode can deliver an initial voltage as high as 3.58 V, an advanced discharge time of 840 s, and an outstanding relative capacity (63.20 mA h) and rate capability (29.36%). This unique structure engineering strategy also provides a potentially cost-effective way for synthesizing other carbon materials and their application in various electrochemical energy storage devices.

Article Synopsis
- Superhydrophobic surfaces with hierarchical micro/nanostructures, like the developed O-Ph-POSS on fluorinated graphene, achieve high water contact angles (152°) and low surface energy (5.6 mJ/m²), making them highly robust and effective in water-repelling applications.
- The O-Ph-POSS-FG hybrid demonstrated remarkable oil absorption (200-500 wt%) and was successfully used to coat polyurethane sponges, achieving oil-water separation efficiencies of 90%-99%, even after multiple cycles.
- Durability tests showed that the sponges maintained superhydrophobic properties over time, retaining effective water contact angles and separation efficiency after one year and multiple mechanical stress tests.

Enabling high-efficiency solar thermal conversion (STC) at catalytic active site is critical but challenging for harnessing solar energy to boost catalytic reactions. Herein, we report the direct integration of full-spectrum STC and high electrocatalytic oxygen evolution activity by fabricating a hierarchical nanocage architecture composed of graphene-encapsulated CoNi nanoparticle. This catalyst exhibits a near-complete 98 % absorptivity of solar spectrum and a high STC efficiency of 97 %, which is superior than previous solar thermal catalytic materials.

Transition-metal sulfide is considered to be an admirable transformational electrode material due to low cost, large specific capacity, and good reversibility in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, the reduced graphene oxide-wrapped open bimetallic sulfide (NiS-CoS@rGO) nanocage, derived from nickel-cobalt Prussian blue, was obtained by two-step calcination. There are luxuriant pore structures in the nanocage composite with a specific surface area of 85.

Active compounds based on LDH (ternary layered double hydroxide) are considered the perfect supercapacitor electrode materials on account of their superior electrochemical qualities and distinct structural characteristics, and flexible supercapacitors are an ideal option as an energy source for wearable electronics. However, the prevalent aggregation effect of LDH materials results in significantly compromised actual specific capacitance, which limits its broad practical applications. In this research, a 3D eggshell-like interconnected porous carbon (IPC) framework with confinement and isolation capability is designed and synthesized by using glucose as the carbon source to disperse the LDH active material and enhance the conductivity of the composite material.
