It is highly desirable, but challenging to develop multifunctional electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing material for practical applications in some harsh environments. Herein, we successfully embedded highly dispersed Co/CoS nanoparticles into a three-dimensional (3D) honeycomb porous carbon skeleton (the carbon skeleton is derived from longan shell-derived S, N co-doped porous carbon) as a multifunctional material with outstanding EMW absorption properties, hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance. Its superior versatility is attributed to synergistic effects of the S and N dopants, large specific surface area, abundant carbon defects, and 3D porous characteristics. Minimal reflection loss (RL) and efficient absorption bandwidth (EAB) of the optimized material as EMW absorbers can achieve -59.9 dB and 6.8 GHz at a thickness of 2.7 mm, respectively, which are superior to most of the reported carbon-based absorbents. Meanwhile, theoretical simulations of the radar scattering cross section (RCS) further confirm that this multifunctional material has outstanding EMW attenuation performance and actual application potential. In addition, the material possesses strong hydrophobicity (124°) and anti-corrosion properties, expanding the scope of potential applications of microwave absorbers. Therefore, this work provides an effective development strategy for the design of anti-corrosion, super-hydrophobic, and high-performance EMW absorbing materials.

Water splitting by an electrochemical method to generate hydrogen gas is an economic and green approach to resolve the looming energy and environmental crisis. Designing a composite electrocatalyst having integrated multichannel charge separation, robust stability, and low-cost facile scalability could be considered to address the issue of electrochemical hydrogen evolution. Herein, we report a superhydrophilic, noble-metal-free bimetallic nanostructure TiO/NiP coated on graphitic polyacrylonitrile carbon fibers (g-C/TiO/NiP) using a facile hydrothermal method followed by phosphorylation.

Porous liquids have traditionally been designed with sterically hindered solvents. Alternatively, recent efforts rely on dispersing microporous frameworks in simpler solvents like water. Here we report a unique strategy to construct macroporous water by selectively incorporating hydrophilicity on the surfaces of hydrophobic hollow carbon spheres (HCS).

Potassium metal batteries are emerging as a promising high-energy density storage solution, valued for their cost-effectiveness and low electrochemical potential. However, understanding the role of potassiphilic sites in nucleation and growth remains challenging. This study introduces a single-atom iron, coordinated by nitrogen atoms in a 3D hierarchical porous carbon fiber (Fe─N-PCF), which enhances ion and electron transport, improves nucleation and diffusion kinetics, and reduces energy barriers for potassium deposition.

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.
