Article Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for renewable energy sources necessitates efficient methods for harvesting and storing clean energy. A photosupercapacitor is an energy storage device that shows improved charge storage performance in the presence of light, which is necessary to mitigate the current energy crisis. Here, we have presented rGO-g-CN-ZnCoO as a photoelectrode for a photoassisted supercapacitor. Photoelectrode selection was based on the suitable relative energy level positions of each component. The sample was synthesized by hydrothermal and thermal exfoliation processes and characterized by XRD, SEM, DRS, and XPS. We have achieved a 25-30% enhancement in capacitance under illumination (1 Sun AM 1.5G). In addition, we have also analyzed diffusive and capacitive contributions exhibited by the sample in order to understand the charge storage mechanism. In order to analyze light-induced enhancement, PL and TRPL were conducted, which verify the transfer of photogenerated holes from g-CN to ZnCoO. Hence, this work demonstrates a sustainable strategy for charge storage enhancement in next-generation energy storage devices.

Hard carbon has emerged as the most widely studied and commercialized anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, improving the charge transfer kinetics within the plateau potential range of the hard carbon anode is crucial for the development of fast-charging SIBs. In this study, we prepared a novel composite material, ZAPA-1300, by uniformly mixing starch, asphalt, and zinc oxide (ZnO), followed by a two-step treatment process.

Azo dyes, prevalent in various industries, including textile dyeing, food, and cosmetics, pose significant environmental and health risks due to their chemical stability and toxicity. This study introduces the synthesis and application of a copper hydrogen-π-bonded benzoate framework (Cu-HBF) and its derived marigold flower-like copper oxide (MFL-CuO) in a synergetic adsorption-photocatalytic process for efficiently removing cationic azo dyes from water, specifically crystal violet (CV), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RhB). The Cu-HBF, previously available only in single crystal form, is prepared here as a crystalline powder for the first time, using a low-cost and facile procedure, allowing its application as an adsorbent and also serving as a precursor for synthesizing well-structured copper oxide (MFL-CuO).

Core-shell electrodes provide a potential and innovative approach for significantly enhancing the performance and capacity of supercapacitors (SCs) by combining two distinct materials. The capabilities of these advanced electrodes surpass those of conventional single electrodes. Specifically, these exhibit better energy storage, higher power density, and improved overall performance.

Neuromorphic Visual Devices hold considerable promise for integration into neuromorphic vision systems that combine sensing, memory, and computing. This potential arises from their synergistic benefits in optical signal detection and neuro-inspired computational processes. However, current devices face challenges such as insufficient light/dark resistance ratios, mismatched transient photo-response, and volatile retention characteristics, limiting their adaptability to complex artificial vision systems.

Lithium metavanadate (LiVO) is a material of growing interest due to its monoclinic 2/ structure, which supports efficient lithium-ion diffusion through one-dimensional channels. This study presents a detailed structural, electrical, and dielectric characterization of LiVO synthesized a solid-state reaction, employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and impedance/dielectric spectroscopy across a temperature range of 473-673 K and frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed high crystallinity and single-phase purity with lattice parameters = 10.
