Planar microsupercapacitors (MSCs) are of great value for flexible and wearable electronics. The rational design of electrode materials with rapid ionic kinetics and sufficient active site exposure is critical but challenging for realizing high-energy MSCs. Herein, we report the dot-tube-sheet multidimensional heterostructure films (MHFs) with versatile patterns by a simple mask-assisted strategy, consisting of 0D carbon dots (CDs), 1D carboxyl-carbon nanotubes (c-CNTs), and 2D TiC MXene nanosheets. Thanks to the high electrical conductivity, enlarged interlayer spacing, abundant porous channels, and excellent mechanical strength, the CDs/c-CNTs/TiC MHF electrodes deliver a remarkable areal capacitance of 1162.6 mF cm at 0.8 mA cm and prominent cycling stability (107.1% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles) in a 1 M HSO electrolyte. Moreover, the fabricated solid-state CDs/c-CNTs/TiC MSCs achieve a high energy density (11.1 mWh cm) and long-term cycling lifespan (102.1% capacitance retention after 8000 cycles), superior to those of state-of-the-art MSCs. The parallel and serial interconnected modular power sources highlight the potential for powering the actual energy consumption products.

The reduced structural complexity of atomically thin amorphous carbons makes it suitable for semiconductor technology. Inherent challenges arise from transfer processes subsequent to growth on metallic substrates, posing significant challenges to the accurate characterization of amorphous materials, thereby compromising the reliability of spectroscopic analysis. Here this work presents a novel approach: direct growth of ultra-thin amorphous carbon with tuned disorder on a dielectric substrate (SiO/Si) using photochemical reaction and thermal annealing process with a solid precursor.

Confinement of reactants within nanoscale spaces of low-dimensional materials has been shown to provide reorientation of strained reactants or stabilization of unstable reactants for synthesis of molecules and tuning of chemical reactivity. While few studies have reported chemistry within zero-dimensional pores and one-dimensional nanotubes, organic reactions in confined spaces between two-dimensional materials have yet to be explored. Here, we demonstrate that reactants confined between atomically thin sheets of graphene or hexagonal boron nitride experience pressures as high as 7 gigapascal, which allows the propagation of solvent-free organic reactions that ordinarily do not occur under standard conditions.

It is an arduous issue to significantly improve the charge separation efficiency of polymer photocatalysts due to their inherently high exciton binding energy. Herein, based on an interfacial coupling and atom diffusion strategy, a metal-free 3D/2D van der Waals (VdW) heterojunction is fabricated through the modification of rich-vacancy wrinkle-like S (Vs-S) microspheres on the surface of S-doped polymeric carbon nitride (S-PCN) nanosheets. The insight into the mechanism reveals that the interfacial coupling effect induces a strong built-in electric field from S-PCN to Vs-S, and the carrier transfer behavior abides by the type-II charge transfer pathway, thereby dramatically improving the separation efficiency and transport kinetics of photogenerated carriers.
