Here we report an electrostatic spray deposition method to prepare three-dimensional porous graphene electrodes for supercapacitor applications. The symmetric supercapacitor exhibits excellent specific capacitance (366 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) in 6 M KOH) and long cycle life (108% capacitance retention up to 40 000 cycles). Moreover, the energy densities of the organic and aqueous electrolyte based supercapacitors reach 22.9 and 8.1 Wh kg(-1) when the power densities are 119.2 and 15.4 kW kg(-1), respectively. Compared with the previously reported graphene based supercapacitors, the improved properties could be attributed to the excellent three-dimensional open porous electrode structure, which is favorable for the ion diffusion and electron transport. In addition, this method provides a simple electrode-fabrication route without the involvement of conducting additives and binders. It may find vast applications in thin and miniaturized energy storage scenarios.

Ether-based electrolytes are widely acknowledged for their potential to form stable solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs) for stable anode performance. However, conventional ether-based electrolytes have shown a tendency for cation-solvent co-intercalation phenomena on graphite electrodes, resulting in lower capacity and higher voltage platforms compared to those of neat cation insertion in ester-based electrolytes. In response, we propose the development of weakly solvating ether solvents to weaken the interaction between cations and solvents, thereby suppressing co-intercalation behavior.

Ni-Fe (oxy)hydroxides are among the most active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts in alkaline media. However, achieving precise control over local asymmetric Fe-O-Ni active sites in Ni-Fe oxyhydroxides for key oxygenated intermediates' adsorption steric configuration regulation of the OER is still challenging. Herein, we report a two-step dealloying strategy to fabricate asymmetric Fe-O-Ni pair sites in the shell of NiOOH@FeOOH/NiOOH heterostructures from NiFe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanocubes, involving anion exchange and structure reconstruction.

Dual-ion batteries (such as alkali metal ion-hexafluorophosphate anion systems) have demonstrated an excellent performance; however, identifying suitable cathode materials with superior electrochemical properties remains a major challenge impeding their advancement. In this work, the feasibility of biphenylite as a dual-ion battery cathode material is investigated systematically by first-principles calculations. The calculated result indicates that biphenylite has an ultrahigh cathode specific capacity for PF anions (107.

A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based electrochemical sensor has been developed for the selective detection of naringenin (NAR) in various real-world samples, including plant extracts, wine, and herbal supplements. To enhance the active surface area and porosity of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), a 2D/0D nanocomposite composed of graphene oxide (GO) and cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles, CFO_GO, was incorporated into the sensor design. 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) was selected as the functional monomer to prepare the MIPs.

Electrochemical sensors capable of detecting different types of biomolecules using a single electrode are highly desirable for simplifying analytical platforms and expanding their practical applicability. Herein, we develop a multifunctional electrochemical sensor based on a 3D honeycomb-like porous rGO/PPy-POM composite film for the independent detection of dopamine (DA) and folic acid (FA), two chemically distinct and clinically relevant biomolecules. The electrode is fabricated through a facile, low-cost, and environmentally friendly breath figure method to create a 3D porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO) framework, followed by codeposition of polypyrrole (PPy) and polyoxometalates (POMs).
