Two-dimensional (2D) graphene-based materials are widely applied as electrodes for supercapacitors due to their vast surface area and excellent charge mobility. However, the pursuit of the theoretical capacitance of graphene has lasted besides the improvements of charge/discharge rate and cycling life. In this work, a nitrogen and fluorine co-doped holey graphene hydrogel (NF-HGH) was synthesized by using consecutive solvothermal treatments for creating vacancies on the graphene basal plane and introducing heteroatoms into the graphene framework. The NF-HGH as an electrode for supercapacitors exhibited a remarkable electrochemical performance of 345.4 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 in 6 M KOH electrolyte. In addition, the specific capacitance of the assembled all-solid-state flexible symmetric supercapacitor (SSC) was 67.3 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, with an outstanding long-term cycling stability over 10 000 cycles. The delivered maximum energy and power densities were 7.99 W h kg−1 and 10.08 kW kg−1, respectively. The abundant pyrrolic-N doped at the edge of etched vacancies and the formed semi-ionic C–F bonds around pyrrolic-N were critical for electrochemical developments, which provided a sensational method to construct carbonaceous frameworks for energy storage systems.

Novel nanocomposites of spherical graphite-carbon encased tungsten carbide (GC-WC) are synthesized by solid state reaction with melamine and WO 3 as precursors under N 2 atmosphere. The diameters of the GC-WC composites range from 50 to 200 nm and the WC nanoparticles inside with an average size of ca. 15 nm distribute uniformly. The characterization results indicate that the GC-WC is composed of few layers of graphite carbon and WC nanoparticles with high crystallization and purity. Moreover, the electrocatalytic performance of GC-WC for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline medium is further investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), rotating disk electrode (RDE) and chronoamperometry test with or without 3 M methanol. The results show that GC-WC has a considerable performance for ORR in the view of activity, stability and methanol tolerance, which may further used as proper supports for noble-metal based ORR catalysts in alkaline fuel cell . The synergetic interaction between the carbide nanoparticles and graphite carbon, which means that the surface graphite carbon layers are activated by WC nanoparticles for ORR and in turn protect inner WC from highly oxidizing environments has also been verified.

The graphene–chitosan composite film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated and used to determine 4-aminophenol (4-AP). In 0.1 M pH 6.3 phosphate buffer solution , the redox peak currents of 4-AP increased significantly and the peak-to-peak separation decreased greatly at graphene–chitosan composite film modified GCE compared with bare GCE and chitosan modified GCE, indicating that graphene possessed electrocatalytic activity towards 4-AP. The experimental conditions were optimized and the kinetic parameters were investigated. The oxidation mechanism was discussed. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the oxidation peak current was proportional to 4-AP concentration in the range from 0.2 to 550 μM with the correlation coefficient of 0.9930. The detection limit was 0.057 μM (S/N = 3). Using the proposed method, 4-AP was successfully determined in water samples and paracetamol tablets with standard addition method, suggesting that this method can be applied to determine 4-AP in environments and pharmaceuticals.

The double-coated Si-based composite (nano-Si@carbon@void@graphene sheets) with the excellent electrochemical properties have been successfully designed and prepared via a spray drying method. The composite electrode at 0.1 A g −1 presents a high initial discharge/charge capacity of 2744.9/2389.8 mAh g −1 , representing high initial coloumbic efficiency of 87.1%. After 200 cycles, a high charge capacity of 1325.2 mAh g −1 is obtained. Even at 0.8 A g −1 and 1.6 A g −1 , the composite electrode still maintain high capacities of 1466.1 mAh g −1 and 561.5 mAh g −1 , respectively. The enhanced performance is mainly attributed to the double-coated structure with void space resulting from the carbon layer and wrinkled graphene sheets . The three-dimensional network structure from carbon shell and graphene is capable of improving the electrical conductivity of the composite, buffering the significant volume expansion due to the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium-ions on the Si-based electrode, providing accommodation space for the volume changes and diffusion paths for lithium-ions. Furthermore, the part amorphous structure derived from the nano-silicon exhibits a cushioning effect on the electrode structure during the discharge/charge process of lithium-ion batteries.

Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based porous materials with a combination of low density, superelasticity , excellent mechanical resilience and tunable functionalities can be used in diverse applications. Here we report an approach of fabricating the stable and flexible 3D graphene aerogel materials with tunable functionality via a general silane-assisted processing that maintains an effective control of the chemistry, architecture and functionality of these porous structures. Simultaneous reduction and functionalization were achieved under both a low temperature and a low graphene oxide concentration in aqueous solution via using a facile one-step co-assembly method. The introduction of silane bonding tailors both the porous microstructure and the surface property of the lightweight aerogel effectively, subsequently providing improved mechanical properties and versatile functionalities including super compressive elasticity, outstanding cyclic resilient property, good electrical conductivity , stable viscoelastic properties, high level energy absorption capacity, excellent hydrophobicity , remarkable thermal stability and extremely high sensitivity of elasticity-dependent electrical conductivity. This opens up scalable and low-cost ways to the integration of microscopic two-dimensional graphene sheets into macroscopic 3D graphene aerogel materials, thus providing the possibility of fabricating novel lightweight porous aerogel materials with controllable functionalities and reversible compressibility for applications in numerous fields.

A large area graphene platform electrode (GPE) was fabricated by transferring chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene on Cu foils onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates with the aid of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) was electrodeposited on GPE by cyclic voltammetry. The morphology and electrochemical properties of CoHCF/GPE were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the electrochemical measurements. The CoHCF/GPE showed favorable sensing effect toward H 2 O 2 . A novel non-enzyme H 2 O 2 sensor was constructed. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the proposed sensor responded to the addition of H 2 O 2 very quickly (about 2 s) with a wide linear rang (0.005–1.2 mM) and a low detection limit (7.1 nM). This sensor was easy to be fabricated and showed excellent stability and anti-interference ability.

The use of nanocarbon materials to enhance the toughness of fragile cementitious materials has attracted increasing attention for investigation. This study examines the effects of incorporating graphene oxide (GO) into NaOH-activated slag (AAS) pastes and mortars, focusing on workability, phase composition, mechanical properties, and the local mechanical properties of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between sand and paste. The experimental results indicate that the addition of GO decreases the flowability of NaOH-AAS pastes, with noticeable aggregation at concentrations above 0.03 wt%. Furthermore, GO enhances the hydration degree of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), leading to an increased amount of C-A-S-H gel without introducing new phases. In terms of macro performance, incorporating 0.03 wt% GO significantly improves the compressive and flexural strengths of NaOH-AAS mortars by 10.6 % and 17.9 %, respectively. Additionally, the presence of GO reduces the ITZ thickness from 30 to 15 micrometres in NaOH-AAS mortars, which likely contributes to the enhanced mechanical performance.

Bisphenol A (BPA) was successfully electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode modified with the chitosan-graphene (Chit-GR/GCE) by multiple sweep voltammetry under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The experimental conditions of the BPA deposits and the probable oxidation mechanism were investigated. Two oxidation peaks (peakII=0.12 V, peakIII=0.20 V) appeared in a suitable potential range of 0.0V and 0.2V at the Chit-GR/GC eletrode in the presence of UV light, and it could be seen that the oxidation peak current increased with the increase of UV irradiation time. The emerging peakIII was reported firstly in the work, which showed that the Chit-GR modified electrode had catalytic activity on the oxidation of BPA. Based on the oxidation peak (III) of BPA oxidative porducts on the Chit-GR/GC electrode under UV irradiation, the electrochemical sensor was fabiracated for determination of BPA. The calibration curve was obtained in the range of 5.0 to 200.0 μM with the limit of detection of 0.34 μM (S/N=3) and the response sensitivity of 0.33 μA μM -1 , which was higher than those of the method of determining BPA based on the direct oxidtation of BPA (0.98 μM (S/N=3), 0.12 μA μM -1 ). It was applied successfully for determination of BPA in lake, soil and plastic bottle samples. The new strategy, based on anodic electrodeposition and photocatalytic oxidation of BPA oxidation porducts, was provided for determination of BPA under UV irradiation. It was green, evironmental and effective.

At present, the topic of building high-performance, miniaturized and mechanically flexible energy storage modules which can be directly integrated into textile based wearable electronics is a hotspot in the wearable technology field. In this paper, we reported a highly flexible fiber-shaped electrode fabricated through a one-step convenient hydrothermal process. The prepared graphene hydrogels/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-cotton thread derived from natural cotton thread is electrochemically active and mechanically strong. Fiber-shaped supercapacitor based on the prepared fiber electrodes and polyvinyl alcohol-H 3 PO 4 gel electrolyte exhibits good capacitive performance (97.73 μF cm −1 at scan rate of 2 mV s −1 ), long cycle life (95.51% capacitance retention after 8000 charge-discharge cycles) and considerable stability (90.75% capacitance retention after 500 continuous bending cycles). Due to its good mechanical and electrochemical properties , the graphene hydrogels/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-cotton thread based all-solid fiber-shaped supercapacitor can be directly knitted into fabrics and maintain its original capacitive performance. Such a low-cost textile thread based versatile energy storage device may hold great potential for future wearable electronics applications.

The interface performance of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) is one of the key factors that affect their properties. In order to improve the interface adhesion between CF and epoxy (EP), a green method is proposed. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and graphene oxide (GO) are introduced to the CF surface through the hydrogen bonds, and they can form high micromechanical interlocking composite architectures, which can enhance the micromechanical interaction in the interface of CF and EP. It is found that CMC and GO can significantly improve the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of EP/CF composite. This means that it has great potential to improve the interface of CFRPs and strengthen their performance by natural cellulose fibers. This modification method does no harm to CF and is environmental friendliness, which lays a research foundation for using natural cellulose to enhance the interface performance of CFRPs.

The resource scarcity and pollution leakage risk caused by discarding the spent power lithium-ion batteries has aroused growing concern. Recovering and regenerating the cathode material from spent power lithium-ion batteries in an easy and environmentally friendly manner remains a significant challenge and an area of focus in battery research. Hence, a green and convenient method to recover FePO 4 from spent LiFePO 4 cathode powder by using Na 2 S 2 O 8 as an oxidizer and as cathode materials for lithium/sodium-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs) is reported. Benefiting from the remarkable graphene oxide (GO) and vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ) coating, the regenerated FePO 4 –V 2 O 5 –graphene oxide (FePO 4 –V 2 O 5 –GO) is suitable for Li/Na storage (153 mAh g −1 at 0.2C/118 mAh g −1 at 0.5C). The high capacity retention, that stable for 300 cycles in LIBs and 300 cycles for SIBs, is also realized due to the stable structure. This work provides a green strategy for regenerating the cathode of spent lithium-ion batteries and designing cathodes of alkali metal ion batteries.
