Article Abstract
Hard carbon (HC), recognized as the most promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), exhibits multiple forms of sodium storage (adsorption on graphitic layers, insertion between graphitic sheets, and filling in closed pores). Low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and low plateau region capacity are the main issues with HC, and it is necessary to understand the evolution laws of graphitic layers and closed pores. Here, we regulate the structure of graphitic layers by deliberately changing the oxygen content in HC materials and reveal the mechanism of formation of closed pores. Additionally, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation results provide crucial evidence for the promotion of interlayer spacing increase by the introduction of oxygen atoms into the graphitic layers. The improved sample with the largest number of closed pores (5.16 × 10 g) displays the largest plateau capacity (218.8 mAh g), proportion (76.0%), ICE (84.8%), and excellent kinetic performance (, = 1.26 × 10 cm s, , = 3.72 × 10 cm s). This work reveals the structural regulation mechanism of HC by adjusting the oxygen content and introduces a strategy to develop HC for high-performance SIBs.

Aramid films are potential separator candidates for high-safety lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their inherent flame retardancy and outstanding thermal stability. However, both weak liquid electrolyte wettability and poor mechanical properties of aramid separators for lithium-ion batteries result in low ionic conductivity and unsatisfactory electrochemical performance for LIBs. Herein, a novel asymmetric porous composite separator composed of a relatively dense nanocellulose (CNC) layer and a porous poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) supporting layer has been fabricated by using a water-induced phase conversion process.

Precise control of particle size, pore size distribution, and carbon layer spacing under green and low-energy conditions is critical for developing advanced carbon electrodes for supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we proposed a new strategy to prepare an MgAl bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) via a pre-ionization strategy, effectively avoiding harsh conditions and using organic solvents in hydrothermal synthesis. By fine-tuning the Mg/Al ratio and pyrolysis conditions, the particle size, pore size distribution and carbon layer spacing of rod porous carbon (RPC) were precisely adjusted.

Iron-carbon materials have emerged as promising heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of emerging organic contaminants. However, their practical applications are substantially hindered by complex preparation procedures and irreversible deactivation of iron centers. Herein, a novel double-layer core-shell catalyst Fe@FeC@Graphite (Fe-CTS-3000) is one-step synthesized by a high-temperature carbothermal shock (CTS) strategy.

The discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea may pose a significant environmental and health risk due to radionuclides such as Cs and Sr. Consequently, the efficient removal of these nuclides has emerged as a focal point in the field of radioactive wastewater treatment. Traditional restoration methods, which rely on physical and chemical interventions as well as bioremediation, are economically burdensome and unsuitable for large-scale restoration efforts.
