Article Abstract
Designing advanced electrode materials that can be reliably cycled at high temperatures and used for assembling advanced energy storage devices remain a major challenge. As a representative of novel wide bandgap semiconductors, silicon carbide (SiC) single crystals have broad prospects in high-temperature energy storage due to their excellent characteristics such as low thermal expansion coefficient, high temperature radiation resistance and stable chemical properties. In this work, an N-type SiC single-crystal material with a high-density porous structure was successfully designed and prepared by using an improved electrochemical anodic oxidation strategy. Besides, the N-type SiC single crystals were used in electrochemical energy storage as an integrated electrode material, exhibiting superior electrochemical performance. In addition, the high-temperature supercapacitor device assembled with ionic liquids has a wide operating temperature range and maintains a capacity of 88.24% after 5000 cycles at 150 °C. The reasons for its high energy storage performance are discussed through electrochemical tests and first-principles calculation methods. This study proves that the application of SiC single crystals in supercapacitor devices has great potential in the field of high-temperature energy storage, providing a reference for the further development of novel semiconductors in the field of energy storage and optoelectronic devices.

Carbonized wood has great potential as a self-supported electrode for energy storage/conversion applications. However, developing efficient and economical bifunctional electrodes by customizing the surface structure remains a challenge. This study proposes a novel multifunctional electrode design strategy, using N/P co-doped carbonized wood (NPCW) as carriers and in situ grows copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) as nucleation centers to induce vertical growth of CuCo-layered double hydroxid (LDH) nanosheets along the substrate.

A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) system with superior performance was successfully developed through local chemical modification from thiophene to thiophene sulfone. This approach, leveraging easily accessible tetraphenylthiophene precursors, dramatically enhances the photophysical properties in a simple oxidation step. Notably, the representative 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylthiophene sulfone (3c) demonstrates remarkable solid-state emission characteristics with a fluorescence quantum yield of 72% and an AIE factor of 240, substantially outperforming its thiophene analog.

The rapid development of liquid exfoliation technology has boosted fundamental research and applications of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials. However, the small-sized exfoliated 2D materials with a high specific surface area may exhibit poor chemical stability. Understanding the stability of 2D crystals will be significant for their preservation and service and for the development of new stable phases via the spontaneous transition from unstable structures.

It is anticipated that wide-bandgap semiconductors (WBGSs) would be useful materials for energy production and storage. A well-synthesized, yet scarcely explored, diamond-like quaternary semiconductor LiZnGeS has been considered for this work. Herein, we have employed two well-known functionals GGA and mGGA within a framework of density functional theory (DFT).

Electronic capacitor films based on polymer matrices and inorganic nanofillers capable of storing more energy play a crucial role in advanced modern electrical industries and devices. Herein, a series of nanocomposite films composed of "core-shell-dot" BNNs-PDA@Ag hybrid structures with multiple breakdown strength enhancement mechanisms as fillers and methyl methacrylate--glycidyl methacrylate (MG) copolymers as matrices were successfully synthesized. The introduced 2D and wide-bandgap BNNs not only enhanced the breakdown strength by taking advantage of their excellent physical properties, but also further improved their energy storage properties both at ambient and elevated temperatures through the formation of deeper traps at the organic-inorganic interface.
