Article Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as one of the most promising alternative technology to lithium-ion batteries on account of their low flammability and cost-benefits. Among various cathode materials in AZIBs, environment-friendly and sustainable organic electrode materials stand out owing to their structural diversity and tunability. However, their limited rate capability and cycle stability remain the obstacles to their further application in AZIBs. Herein, a mixed cathode design strategy including polymerization and carbon materials hybridization is adopted to assemble high-rate and durable AZIBs. Specifically, a polymer/graphene composite cathode with active carbonyls and secondary amine moieties is prepared to construct high-performance aqueous Zn-organic batteries. Furthermore, a hybrid energy storage mechanism involving dual-ion mechanism is confirmed by various ex situ characterization techniques, providing promising battery chemistry. Thus, this work opens up a new path to high performance AZIBs through a rational cathode design.

Decoupled water electrolysis using solid-state redox mediators (SRMs) enables spatial and temporal separation of hydrogen and oxygen production without relying on membranes. Here, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic quinone polymer (PYTQ) was integrated with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) via vacuum-assisted filtration to synthesize the composite material (PYTQ-RGO). Benefiting from the multiple active sites for PYTQ and the strong π-π interactions between PYTQ and RGO, the composite exhibits high specific capacity and excellent stability.

Thiocyanate (SCN) poses dual health threats as both a toxic food additive in dairy products and a biomarker for tobacco smoke exposure in smokers' saliva. Existing detection platforms fail to simultaneously address the conflicting demands for high-sensitivity food analysis (0.1-10 ppm) and rapid point-of-care testing in biological fluids (50-200 μM).

Polymer/graphene (Py/GN) composites under the influence of external electric fields often exhibit unique nonlinear conducting behaviors. However, the underlying mechanism of this field effect at the molecular level is still obscure until now. Herein, the evolution of electrical properties of Py/GN composites induced by electric fields has been explored by combining high-throughput first-principles calculations with machine learning models.

Indoor formaldehyde pollution can cause inestimable harm to human health and even cancers, thus studies on the removal of formaldehyde attract extensive attentions. In this paper, an environmentally friendly and low-cost biomass material, sodium alginate (SA) was utilized to prepare pyrene functionalized amido-amine-alginic acid (AmAA-Py) by acidification and two-step amidation, which is subsequently self-assembled on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by π-π stacking interaction, and the final composites were acidified to afford a highly porous composite material for chemical removal of formaldehyde. The formaldehyde chemical removal performance of composite is evaluated at different conditions and find that 1.
