Flexible, miniature, and lightweight supercapacitor is ideal power source for next-generation portable and wearable electronics. However, their widespread application is limited by a critical drawback, self-discharge, which leads to energy loss during idle periods. To this end, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based nanofiber separator with piezoelectric properties that can effectively suppress self-discharge in supercapacitors, was prepared via electrospinning. By incorporating hydrophilic cellulose acetate (CA) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into the PVDF matrix, both the electrolyte affinity and piezoelectric output of the separator are significantly enhanced. The resulting rGO/CA/PVDF composite membrane exhibits outstanding mechanical flexibility, high porosity, excellent electrolyte uptake, making it highly suitable separator for flexible supercapacitor. Supercapacitors equipped with such separator exhibit superior electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 178.2 F/g at 10 A/g. Notably, an impressive capacitance retention of 79 % was achieved after 24 h of self-discharge test. The reduction in self-discharge is primarily due to the limited diffusion of electrolyte ions, induced by the polarized rGO/CA/PVDF composite separator endowed with improved piezoelectric characteristics. This work highlights the potential of piezoelectric separators as an effective strategy for long-term energy retention, and offers new insights into the rational design of functional separators with self-discharge mitigation capabilities.

Sodium ion capacitors (SICs) represent a promising alternative of energy storage device with high energy/power densities as well as long life span. Exploration of novel anode materials with typically high rate performance is a shortcut to boost the performance of SICs. Here, we present a WSe2/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite synthesized by a home-made chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. WSe2 nanoparticle is deposited uniformly at the surface of rGO nanosheets. The unique structure endows the composite with outstanding electrochemical properties. The specific capacity of 133.3 mAh g−1 at an ultrahigh current density of 60 A g−1 can be delivered. The sodium ion storage kinetics was investigated, exhibiting very high ratio of capacitive contribution during the sodium ion reaction process. The SICs based on the WSe2/rGO nanocomposite as anode show the maximum energy density of 42.8 W h kg−1 and maximum power density of 14.4 kW kg−1 as well as the superior cyclic stability, proving the promising of WSe2/rGO anode for SICs application.

Structure supercapacitors (SSC) have aroused tremendous interest in building energy storage due to their dual function of electrochemical-mechanical properties. As well known, the low energy storage capacity limits their development. To enhance the energy density of SSC, lots of high-performance structural electrodes were developed. Herein, Mg and S elements were used to regulate the microstructure of the binary metal hydroxide, which could improve the electrode’s electrochemical performance. As we expected, rGO/N 1 C 3 Mg-S 4 ′ electrode exhibits high areal capacitance (10.20F/cm 2 ), which boosts the electrochemical capacitance of SSC. Our device based on rGO/N 1 C 3 Mg-S 4 ′ electrode exhibits a high areal capacitance (179.21 mF/cm 2 ) and a high energy density (56 μWh/cm 2 ) at 3 mA/cm 2 . More importantly, the electrochemical performance of our device doesn’t change obviously under a certain amount of pressure, demonstrating its good practical application potential in buildings.

Solar steam generation has become the most promising solar-thermal applications in recent years. Scientists often focus on the search for superior materials, efficient structures, while ignoring the use of residual heat from the water at the bottom. In this paper, a membrane distillation system that utilizes residual heat was added in a new solar house of a domestic hot water and drinking water supply system in the first place. The pDA-rGO-PTFE membrane as an excellent evaporator was characterized in solar steam generation system, which possesses good hydrophilicity capacity and high intrinsic absorption properties . And at the optimal concentration of 20 mg/mL, the evaporation rate and efficiency of pDA-rGO-PTFE membrane could reach up 1.45 kg·m −2 ·h −1 and 93.8% respectively in one sun (one sun = 1kw·m −2 ). The PTFE membrane as a separator was applied in a membrane distillation system. Under average 0.66 sun in the natural environment, the average evaporation rate of a new solar house could reach about 1.10 kg·m −2 ·h −1 , and there is an additional 0.71 kg·m −2 ·h −1 membrane permeation flux by the residual heat. In addition, the new solar house showed an excellent durability and desalination ability, the ions rejection rations of the collected condensate water were close to 99.8%. Hence, we conclude that further ideas of a new solar house were provided for solving water scarcity, domestic water consumption and the application of solar steam generation in the future.

A novel chiral sensor was developed to produce the distinguishing response to the enantiomers of tyrosine (Tyr), with high sensitivity and selectivity. The electrochemical sensor was modified by the inorganic-organic nanohybrid material with the functionalization of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to be the amplifier and a chiral hetero-multifarene[3,2,1] (CHMF[3,2,1]) as the chiral receptor. The as-prepared rGO-CHMF was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. It was observed that the composites exhibited different binding ability for Tyr enantiomers. The proposed sensor presented significant difference with peak potential separation value (ΔE p = 70 mV) and the ratio of peak current ( I L-Tyr / I D-Tyr = 1.58) for Tyr enantiomers by differential pulse voltammetry. In addition, the peak currents increased linearly with the concentration of Tyr enantiomers in the concentration range 0.1–10 μM with detection limits of 78 nM and 83 nM for l -Tyr and d -Tyr (S/N = 3), respectively. It also exhibited the ability to determine the percentage of one Tyr enantiomer in the racemic mixture. Moreover, the selectivity, reproducibility, and stability of the chiral sensor were investigated to give satisfactory results. The above discoveries offered an alternative technology for chiral recognition with electrochemical response to actualize a real-time and quantitative determination.

It is still a challenging project for developing electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption materials with the properties of multi-band absorption in the field of microwave absorption . Herein, honeycomb-like MoSe 2 @reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composites are successfully constructed by a facile one-step solvothermal method. The polarization and conductive loss can be precisely tailored by vertically implanting MoSe 2 nanosheets on the RGO sheet. It is notable that three-band absorption, including S, X, and Ku bands, was achieved in the composites. The optimized MoSe 2 @RGO composite exhibits excellent microwave absorption performance, the maximum reflection loss (RL) value can reach −56.9 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) value can reach 4.12 GHz. The excellent microwave attenuation capability is attributed to the synergy effect of conductive loss, multiple relaxations, and excellent impedance matching in the composites. Therefore, this work provides a new paradigm for developing efficient multifunctional EM wave absorbers.

MoS 2 as cathode materials of aluminum ion batteries can significantly improve the specific discharge capacity in the initial cycles. However, it electrical conductivity is poor and has strong interactions with higher charge density of Al 3+ cations. So MoS 2 cathode material suffers from rapid specific capacity decaying, which prevents the further development for aluminum ion batteries. Herein, a new phase engineering strategy is demonstrated for making MoS 2 -RGO (Reduced graphene oxide) composites for boosting the performance of aluminum ion batteries. Because the structure of MoS 2 is analogous to graphene, it can be used as a novel substrate for the growth of MoS 2 , which can increase the contact area of graphene and MoS 2 with forming perfect interlayer-overlapped composites. The Al/MoS 2 -RGO battery has a specific discharge capacity of 278.1 mAh/g in the initial cycles, and still maintains 150.2 mAh/g after 100 cycles.

A carbon nanomaterials-modified MOF-derived Co 3 O 4 p–p heterojunction was successfully constructed using a solution-combination-calcination method. The morphological and structural characteristics and their gas sensing performances were comprehensively investigated. Particularly, the synergistic effect between different carbon nanomaterials and Co 3 O 4 mesoporous structures was carefully studied. The gas sensing results revealed that the sensor based on the CNT-rGO-Co 3 O 4 nanocomposites exhibited better gas sensing properties toward the ethanol gas, including higher response, admirable antihumidity, and shorter response–recovery time than the other Co 3 O 4 samples. The gas sensitivity of CNT-rGO-Co 3 O 4 nanocomposites reached to be as high as 127.1, which was 5.8 times higher than that of a pure Co 3 O 4 gas sensor when exposed to 100 ppm ethanol. The enhanced gas sensing performance of the sensor fabricated by the CNT-rGO-Co 3 O 4 nanocomposites could be attributed to the promising synergistic effect between carbon nanomaterials and Co 3 O 4 nanobox, implying that the heterojunction structure and coupling effect would dramatically optimize the gas sensing reaction process, resulting in improved gas sensing performance.

Gas sensors with high performance and low energy consumption are necessary for system integration in the environment monitoring of explosives. High-performance room-temperature hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) gas sensors were fabricated based on the hybrids of tungsten oxide (WO 3 )/reduced graphene oxide (rGO). WO 3 nanocubes modified with different contents of rGO were synthesized by acid-based hydrothermal method. The optimal amount of rGO in the composite is 5 wt%, at which the room-temperature operating sensor presents the highest sensitivity of approximately 32.7 to 500 ppb H 2 S, a fast recovery time of ~ 180 s, as well as an excellent sensing selectivity. The overall improvement in sensing performances demonstrated an important progress made in H 2 S sensor fabrication for portable and real-time gas detection. The improved gas-sensing performance is attributed to the large specific surface area of the WO 3 nanocubes, the formation of WO 3 /rGO heterojunctions, and the enhanced electron transfer efficiency.

Hybrid CuO-Co 3 O 4 nanosphere building blocks have been embedded between the layered nanosheets of reduced graphene oxides with a three dimensional (3D) hybrid architecture (CuO-Co 3 O 4 -RGO), which are successfully applied as enhanced anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The CuO-Co 3 O 4 -RGO sandwiched nanostructures exhibit a reversible capacity of ~847 mA·h·g −1 after 200 cycles’ cycling at 100 mA·g −1 with a capacity retention of 79%. The CuO-Co 3 O 4 -RGO compounds show superior electrochemical properties than the comparative CuO-Co 3 O 4 , Co 3 O 4 and CuO anodes, which may be ascribed to the following reasons: the hybridizing multicomponent can probably give the complementary advantages; the mutual benefit of uniformly distributing nanospheres across the layered RGO nanosheets can avoid the agglomeration of both the RGO nanosheets and the CuO-Co 3 O 4 nanospheres; the 3D storage structure as well as the graphene wrapped composite could enhance the electrical conductivity and reduce volume expansion effect associated with the discharge-charge process.

ZnCo 2 O 4 is considered a highly promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), attributed to its impressive capacity and excellent electrochemical characteristics. However, its practical application is constrained by significant volume expansion during repeated charge–discharge cycles, leading to structural instability and performance degradation over time. To address this challenge, a composite material consisting of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coating the exterior of ZnCo 2 O 4 microspheres (denoted as ZCO@r-3) was designed and synthesized in this study, making it an anode material with high cycling stability for LIBs. This design aims to increase the structural stability and electrochemical properties through the effective incorporation of rGO, mitigating volume expansion during redox reactions when redox reactions occur. In this composite structure, rGO serves as a conductive network that significantly enhances ion diffusion, while its excellent mechanical properties help mitigate the volume expansion of ZnCo 2 O 4 during redox reactions. This dual action of rGO not only strengthens the structural stability of ZnCo 2 O 4 microspheres but also enhances their electrochemical performance, providing an effective and practical solution. As expected, the ZCO@r-3 composite exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 1582.1 mAh g −1 in the first cycle and initial reversible specific capacity of 1087.9 mAh g −1 after the second cycle at 0.1 A g −1 . Even after 500 charge/discharge cycles under the same conditions, the composites maintained a reversible capacity of 966.7 mAh g −1 . This demonstrates exceptional cycling stability, validating the effectiveness of the rGO coating in enhancing the material's long-term performance. This confirms that the method proposed in this study effectively addresses the volume expansion issue of ZnCo 2 O 4 .

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are considered a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for next-generation energy storage due to the abundance and competitive cost of potassium resources. However, the excavation and the development of proper electrodes for PIBs are still confronted with great challenges. Herein, a self-assembled bismuth sulfide microsphere wrapped with reduced graphene oxide was fabricated to form a heterostructured Bi2S3@RGO composite via a visible-light-assisted method and served as the anode for PIBs. The as-prepared Bi2S3@RGO composite presented a high reversible specific capacity of 538 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 and superior rate capability of 237 mA h g−1 at a high current density of 2 A g−1 after 300 cycles. In particular, the high capacity could be ascribed to the synergistic effect of the conversion and alloying reactions during the electrochemical processes, which was validated by ex situ X-ray diffraction. The fabrication of a unique heterostructure combining the self-assembled Bi2S3 microspheres and flexible RGO boosted the facile charge transfer, leading to the enhanced cyclic stability and rate performance.
