Article Abstract
Li-CO batteries could capture and convert CO into a valuable energy storage medium. The slow kinetics and high activation barrier associated with the breakdown cleavage of discharge products pose a significant hurdle in the advancement of reversible Li-CO batteries. Herein, cotton-derived self-standing carbon fibers were utilized to disperse Ru nanoparticles which could avoid depletion of active sites caused by stacking of graphite-based supports. Consequently, CBRu cathode presents small voltage polarization of 1.41 V at high current density of 200 μA cm, and high energy efficiency of 76.0 % at 20 μA cm as well as long-term cyclability over 1000 h. According to in/ex-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations, the unique cross-linked structure of the carbon fibers offers ample space for the deposition of discharge products while these ultrafine Ru nanoparticles regulate the growth path of LiCO and accelerate reaction kinetics. This study offers a novel perspective on the selection of self-standing cathode carbon matrix for Li-CO batteries.

The construction of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) on gold coatings is one of the most effective strategies for bestowing anticoagulation and antimicrobial properties on the material. However, the poor chemical affinity between fluorinated porous precursors and gold substrates causes the agglomeration of nanostructures, resulting in uneven nanoporous morphology and accelerating lubricant leakage. Simultaneously, the weak interfacial adhesion between the nanostructures and the substrate may lead to the detachment of nanostructures under blood circulation.

The practical application of formic acid for large-scale hydrogen storage is constrained by its low H production rates. Conventional strategies rely on excessive chemical additives to accelerate the initial deprotonation step for efficient dehydrogenation. However, this approach is energy-consuming and compromises the intrinsic hydrogen storage density (53 g L) of formic acid.

This study provides valuable guidance for simplifying fabrication procedures and enhancing the structural integrity and safety of carbon fiber (CF) laminate transfemoral (TF) prosthetic sockets. While the high specific strength of CF laminate sockets offers advantages over conventional plastics, essential production data-their orientation-dependent strength and optimal cure conditions-are lacking, often requiring complex, costly cure cycles. This study investigated (i) the influence of fiber orientation on TF prosthetic CF socket strength via finite element analysis (FEA) during standing, and (ii) optimal single-step Vacuum-Bag-Only (VBO) cure conditions for prepreg in a low-cost conventional oven.

Noncrystalline carbon materials typically encounter challenges of low volumetric capacity, high discharge plateau, and poor rate capability when utilized as sodium-storage anode materials. The effect of the orientation of carbon layers in noncrystalline carbon materials on sodium storage behavior remains unclear. This study clarifies the sodium storage behavior of high-carbon layer orientation soft carbon fiber materials and reveals the desolvation process of their ordered carbon layer structures as well as pore structure filling and sodium deposition processes, which enhanced the sodium storage capacity.

The electrochemical urea oxidation reaction (UOR) presents an energy-efficient alternative to the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER), operating at a substantially lower thermodynamic potential and thereby reducing the energy input for hydrogen production by approximately 70%. Simultaneously, UOR facilitates wastewater remediation, offering dual environmental and energy benefits. In this work, we report a MnCO/Ni(OH) heterostructured nanoflower array directly grown on conductive carbon cloth that exhibits outstanding UOR catalytic activity and stability.
