Article Abstract
Sustainable and high-performance energy storage materials are crucial to address global energy and environmental challenges. In this study, was used as the carbon and nitrogen source, and -based nanoporous biochar (SNPB) was synthesized through chemical activation using KOH as the activating agent in N atmosphere. SNPB-800-4 was characterized by N adsorption-desorption and XPS, showing a high specific surface area (2923.7 m g) and abundant heteroatomic oxygen (13.78%) and nitrogen (2.55%). SNPB-800-4 demonstrated an exceptional capacitance of 348 F g at a current density of 1 A g and a remarkable capacitance retention of 94.14% after 10,000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g in 6 M KOH. Notably, symmetric supercapacitors SNPB-800-4//SNPB-800-4 achieved the maximum energy and power densities of 17.99 Wh kg and 162.48 W kg, respectively, at a current density of 0.5 A g, and still maintained 2.66 Wh kg when the power density was increased to 9685.08 W kg at a current density of 30 A g. This work provides an easily scalable and straightforward way to convert waste algae biomass into in situ N, O-dually doped biochar for ultra-high-power supercapacitors.

Climate change is increasing the frequency of large-scale, extreme environmental events and flattening environmental gradients. Whether such changes will cause spatially synchronous, large-scale population declines depends on mechanisms that limit metapopulation synchrony, thereby promoting rescue effects and stability. Using long-term data and empirical dynamic models, we quantified spatial heterogeneity in density dependence, spatial heterogeneity in environmental responses, and environmental gradients to assess their role in inhibiting synchrony across 36 marine fish and invertebrate species.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising candidates for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) owing to their safety features and compatibility with lithium metal anodes. However, the inferior ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of SPEs hinder their application in high-voltage solid-state LMBs (HVSSLMBs). Here, a strategy is proposed to develop a dual-anion-rich solvation structure by implementing ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) nanoparticles (NPs) and dual lithium salts into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SPEs for HVSSLMBs.

Recovering diagnostic-quality cardiac MR images from highly under-sampled data is a current research focus, particularly in addressing cardiac and respiratory motion. Techniques such as Compressed Sensing (CS) and Parallel Imaging (pMRI) have been proposed to accelerate MRI data acquisition and improve image quality. However, these methods have limitations in high spatial-resolution applications, often resulting in blurring or residual artifacts.

Traditional window glazing, with inherently adverse energy-efficient optical properties, leads to colossal energy losses. Energy-saving glass requires a customized optical design for different climate zones. Compared with the widely researched radiative cooling technology which is preferable to be used in low-altitude hot regions; conversely in high-latitude cold regions, high solar transmittance (T) and low mid-infrared thermal emissivity (ε) are the key characteristics of high-performance radiative warming window glass, while the current low-emissivity (low-e) glass is far from ideal.
