MgH used in solid-state hydrogen storage still suffers from high thermal stability and slow hydrogen absorption-desorption kinetics. Here, we report a hybrid of MgH-TiC/graphene prepared through a facile wet chemical method followed by a ball-milling method. It was confirmed that the coupling of TiC and graphene possesses a synergistic effect on the hydrogen desorption and absorption reactions of MgH/Mg. The initial temperature of MgH-TiC/graphene to desorb hydrogen was reduced to 169 °C significantly and it could desorb 6.8 wt% H within 6 min at a constant temperature of 300 °C. Moreover, the desorbed sample could start to absorb hydrogen at room temperature and achieve a capacity of 6.0 wt% when the temperature was gradually increased to 350 °C. These results are far superior to pristine MgH, disclosing that the addition of two-dimensional TiC/graphene is an efficient strategy to boost the hydrogen storage performance of MgH.

Although carbon-based supercapacitors (SCs) hold the advantages of high-power and large-current characteristics, they are difficult to realize ultrahigh-power density (> 200 kW kg) and maintain almost constant energy density at ultrahigh power. This limitation is mainly due to the difficulty in balancing the structural order related to the electrical conductivity of carbon materials and the structural disorder related to the pore structure. Herein, we design a novel super-structured tubular carbon (SSTC) with a crosslinked porous conductive network to solve the structure order-disorder tradeoff effect in carbon materials.

TEMPO-CNF film modified by two-dimension transition metal MXene has certain antibacterial properties. However, the problem of long-lasting stability greatly restricts the feasibility of long-term use of the composite film. Here, we introduced polyaniline (PANI) as a modifying molecule, which was electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the MXene nanosheets to prevent its self-stacking and delay its oxidation.

The ternary complex effectively prevents droplet aggregation, Ostwald ripening, and phase separation through its gel network, thereby demonstrating its capability in bioactive compound delivery. In this work, the influence of varying chickpea protein isolate (CPI) levels on the microstructure, gel characteristics, stability and functional properties of grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSP) and konjac gum (KGM) stabilized ternary complexes was investigated. Visual appearance indicated the formation of a non-stratified ternary complex as the CPI enhanced to 3-4 %.

The development of electrode materials for aqueous ammonium-ion supercapacitors (NH-SCs) has garnered significant attention in recent years. Poor intrinsic conductivity, sluggish electron transfer and ion diffusion kinetics, as well as structural degradation of vanadium oxides during the electrochemical process, pose significant challenges for their efficient ammonium-ion storage. In this work, to address the above issues, the core-shell VO·nHO@poly(3,4-ethylenedioxithiophene) composite (denoted as VOH@PEDOT) is designed and prepared by a simple agitation method to boost the ammonium-ion storage of VO·nHO (VOH).
