Sodium-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost and resource abundance. However, their cathode materials suffer from poor conductivity and limited cycling stability. Here, we report a Prussian blue (PB)-based cathode hybridized with carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via a glutamic acid-assisted in situ coordination route.

Organic battery electrode materials represent a sustainable alternative compared to most inorganic electrodes, yet challenges persist regarding their energy density and cycling stability. In this work, a new organic electrode material is described, which is obtained via ionothermal polymerization of low-cost starting materials, melem (2,5,8-triamino-tri-s-triazine) and perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA). The resulting networked polymer Melem-PDI exhibits favorable thermal and electrochemical properties, prompting investigation into its performance as a positive electrode material in rechargeable lithium and magnesium batteries.

In this study, porous polysiloxane (PS)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposite films were developed as high-performance triboelectric layers for flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). TENGs convert mechanical motion into electricity and offer a promising solution for self-powered electronic systems. The nanocomposites were fabricated using a doctor blading method, and porosity was introduced a simple, scalable salt-leaching technique.

Ice formation on asphalt roads poses severe safety hazards and maintenance issues, especially in cold climates. Traditional deicing methods are typically energy intensive, environmentally adversive, and economically inadvisable. Alternative superhydrophobic coatings (SHCs) have emerged as promising passive anti-icing solutions.

We report a facile one-pot synthesis of AuPt spine-like nanotubes (AuPt SNTs) with abundant defective sites and lattice strain surfaces, which synergistically enhance EOR performance. The synthesis involves controlled co-reduction of Au and Pt precursors in the presence of octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride as a structure-directing agent, followed by ascorbic acid-mediated growth at 3-5 °C regulated by a cryogenic coolant circulation system. The unique spine-like nanotube architecture, coupled with defect-rich surfaces and lattice strain, provides optimized electronic structures, enhanced active site exposure, and improved reactant diffusion kinetics.
