Carbon electrodes, renowned for their excellent moisture and air stability, present a compelling alternative to unstable hole transport materials and costly metal electrodes. In carbon electrode-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs), organic materials play a crucial role in optimizing the surface characteristics and electrochemical performance of carbon electrodes, thereby enhancing the photoelectric conversion efficiency. By incorporating organic material additives to modulate the pore structure and surface chemistry of carbon electrodes, the processes of photon absorption and electron transport can be effectively promoted, leading to an improvement in device performance. This article comprehensively reviews the latest research progress of organic C-PSCs, covering their device structures, working principles, as well as the modification methods, advantages, and application effects of organic materials in different layers of C-PSCs. Finally, the applications of in-situ characterization and first-principles calculations in this field are briefly introduced, providing theoretical and experimental support for in-depth research. Based on the above research and analysis, optimization strategies such as enhancing charge selectivity, improving the contact between the electrode and the perovskite layer, and enhancing the quality of the perovskite layer are proposed to drive the further development of organic C-PSCs.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) has promising applications in several fields due to their excellent thermal, electrical, mechanical, and biocompatible properties. However, the complexity of its structure leads to the problems of computationally intensive and inefficient synthetic characterization optimization and prediction by traditional research methods, which seriously restricts the development process. Machine learning (ML), as an emerging technology, has been widely used in CNT research due to its ability to reduce computational cost, shorten the development cycle, and improve the accuracy. ML not only optimizes the synthetic control parameters for precise structural control, but also combines various imaging and spectroscopic techniques to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of characterization. In addition, ML helps to improve the performance of CNT devices at the optimization and prediction levels, and achieve accurate performance prediction. However, ML in CNT research still faces challenges such as algorithmic processing of complex data situations, insufficient space for algorithmic combined optimization, and lack of model interpretability. Future research can focus on developing more efficient ML algorithms and unified standardized databases, exploring the deep integration of different algorithms, further improving the performance of ML in CNT research, and promoting its application in more fields.

Electrospun nanofibers have emerged as transformative materials due to their unparalleled surface-to-volume ratios, tunable porosity, and excellent mechanical flexibility, making them suitable for energy storage, catalysis, biomedicine, and environmental remediation. However, their inherent surface limitations—poor chemical stability, insufficient active sites, and limited functionality—restrict their full potential. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has risen as a game-changing postsynthesis modification strategy, enabling atomic-scale precision in surface engineering. This is also impactful for carbonbased nanofibers, where surface inertness limits their electrochemical performance. This review critically examines advanced CVD techniques, including atomic layer deposition (ALD), plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD), and initiated CVD (iCVD), which enable the formation of conformal coatings, hierarchical functionalization, carbon nanotube integration, and interfacial optimization of as-spun nanofibers. We highlight breakthroughs in hydrophobicity, catalytic activity, biocompatibility, and energy storage performance, with applications ranging from oil–water separation to nerve gas detoxification, pH-responsive drug delivery, and high-capacity carbon-composite lithium-ion batteries. By dissecting deposition mechanisms, material innovations, and emerging applications, this work highlights the synergy between as-spun nanofibers and the exploitation of CVD techniques in designing versatile materials. Furthermore, advancements hinge on computational modeling, novel precursors, including carbon-rich sources, and scalable processes to bridge lab-scale innovations with industrial deployment are desired. This comprehensive analysis provides a guiding framework for researchers utilizing CVD techniques as a postmodification tool to develop nanofiber-based solutions addressing global challenges in sustainability, healthcare, and energy.

Thus, there is an urgent need to consider recycling and transformation of these waste tires into functional materials while promoting the circular economy and environmental sustainability. Recent advancements in material science research have highlighted the potential of converting waste tires into valuable porous carbon materials based on their rich carbon polymeric composition. Among the various conversion techniques, carbonization and activation have been shown to yield microporous, mesoporous and macroporous carbon with a large specific surface area up to 2450 m2g− 1 with doped heteroatoms (P, B, N and O) that enhances its surface chemistry in diverse applications. Thus, this review looks to investigate various processes involved in converting waste tires into high-performance porous carbon for electrocatalysis, adsorbents, catalyst support, and electrodes for energy storage devices. It also highlights the recent trend of tire compositions, tire chemistry in terms of vulcanization and devulcanization towards a greener economy. Additionally, it proposes future research directions to enhance the viability of waste tire-derived porous carbon materials.

Doping diamond exhibits excellent photoelectric properties, making it promising for applications in wide-bandgap semiconductors, high-temperature devices, and high-power electronics. However, research on n-type doping remains limited. This paper reviews the main n-type doping methods for diamond: ion implantation (I/I), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high pressure–high temperature (HPHT), deuterated method (DM), surface charge transfer doping (SCTD), and laser irradiation (LI). It analyzes the parameters, advantages, and disadvantages of each technique while classifying common single-element and multi-element co-doping methods. Single-element dopants include Group IA (Li, Na, K), Group ⅡA (Be, Mg), Group VA (N, P, As, Sb), and Group ⅥA (O, S, Se, Te) elements. Multi-element co-doping often combines B-P, B-S, B-O, and B-N pairs. Additionally, we examine the atomic structures of these dopants, introduce commonly used simulation models, and compare the electronic characteristics of synthesized n-type doping diamonds. Finally, we summarize the challenges of n-type doping diamond in doping equipment, processes, and electronic devices, and propose possible improvements and future development directions.

CNT/epoxy composite film (CECF) was prepared and used to fabricate the interlayer stiffened and reinforced photothermal synergistic curing glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites, and the influence of the photothermal effects of CECF on compressive strength and failure mechanism of the composite was investigated. Compared to GFRP composite, the uniform and wide temperature distribution in the in-plane and thickness direction was exhibited due to the heat from the lattice vibrations induced by photothermal conversions of CECF, thereby facilitating the decomposition of the thermal initiator and the increase of the curing degree in the CECF/GFRP composite. The in-plane shear modulus and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the CECF/GFRP composite were 12.2% and 13.7% higher than those of the GFRP composite, respectively, indicating the enhanced deformation resistance and interfacial adhesion of the interlayer region. The compressive strength of the CECF/GFRP composite was increased by 14.1% relative to the GFRP composite, which was ascribed to restricted kink-band and delayed delamination damage during the compression process of composite.

Modifying the softening point (SP) of pitch is crucial owing to its substantial influence on pitch applicability. This study presents a novel fluorination technique for engineering the SP of mesophase pitch (MP). Low-concentration fluorine gas was used to modify the edge sites of the MP, allowing for either an increase or decrease in the SP by controlling the gas reactivity. The fluorination was conducted with 20 vol% F2 gas under reaction temperature of 25, 50, and 75 ℃ for 2 h in atmospheric pressure. A reduction in SP was achieved through edge alkylation, with a decrease of up to 14.1% observed after the fluorination. Conversely, an increase in SP resulted from edge dealkylation at higher reaction temperatures. As the modified MPs retained perfect anisotropy, this study offers an effective strategy for adjusting the SP to meet application needs without causing structural deterioration.

Efficient energy conversion technologies require cost-effective and durable catalysts for water oxidation. This study presents SnS2/ C composite synthesized via solvothermal method to enhance electrocatalytic performance in water splitting. Morphological analysis reveals that carbon incorporation disrupts the flower-like SnS2 nanosheets, increasing active site accessibility and improving charge transfer efficiency. Three different electrolytes (KOH, PBS and H2SO4) are systematically employed to evaluate the material’s electrocatalytic activity comprehensively. The electrochemical tests indicate that pure SnS₂ exhibits an overpotential (η) of 410 mV at 10 mA/cm2 for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1 M KOH. Integration of carbon significantly lowers this value to 180 mV with a tafel slope of 103 mV/dec for SSC12 (1:2 SnS₂/C) composite. For hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media, SSC12 achieves an η of 275 mV at 500 mA/cm2 with a tafel slope of 121 mV/dec. The catalyst further demonstrates strong durability for OER in 1 M KOH but shows diminished HER activity in 0.5 M H2SO4. This study demonstrates the synergistic role of carbon in enhancing SnS₂ catalytic attributes, emphasizing the potential of these composites for sustainable energy conversion applications.

Hard carbon's excellent performance and affordability made it an ideal anode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, hard carbons derived directly from lignin often exhibit poor performance. Optimizing the synthesis process presents a valuable strategy for enhancing performance. In this study, we optimize the synthesis process to minimize costs while integrating green chemistry principles to mitigate environmental impact. Sodium lignosulfonate-formaldehyde resin-derived hard carbon is produced using a simple, low-cost pyrolysis technique involving multiple temperature stages. This process enhances the material's structural stability and electrochemical performance. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy analysis show that higher pyrolysis temperatures lead to a distinct peak, which improves electronic conductivity. In contrast, lower temperatures result in chaotic structural formations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image analyses reveal that the resulting material has a porous structure with unique chemical properties. Tested for 200 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g− 1, the materials exhibited specific capacities of 332.24 mAh g− 1, 180.3 mAh g− 1, and 105.6 mAh g− 1, respectively, for LSHC-1400, LSHC-1200, and LSHC-1000. The promising results can be attributed to the unique porous structure and inherent chemical properties of the lignosulfonate precursor, which enhance the transport and storage of sodium ions. This study highlights the critical role of the synthesis method in determining the sodium storage capacity of the carbon anode in sodium-ion batteries, encouraging further exploration and optimization in this area.

Akaganeite (β-FeOOH) and hybrid active materials (akaganeite/maghemite (γ-Fe2O3)) containing carbon nanoparticles have been successfully developed through hydrothermal process using oxidation debris of graphene oxide and iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate. The obtained akaganeite sample and the hybrid material containing 29% akaganeite and 71% maghemite were confirmed using Mӧssbauer analysis. Two types of cathode made of akaganeite (β-FeOOH) and hybrid active materials supported on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for RGO/AKA-100 and RGO/AKA-29 were taken as the main air electrode. The full-cell zinc–air battery prototypes (with 6 M KOH electrolyte) were tested for 500 cycles at room temperature. The result showed that the discharge capacity was achieved as high as 131.05 mAh/cm2 for RGO/AKA-100 and 137.26 mAh/ cm2 for RGO/AKA-29. These performances are better than that using zinc–air batteries with carbon black/MnO2 (CB/ MnO2) as air cathode, that give a discharge capacity of 115.7 mAh/cm2. The charge–discharge efficiency of RGO/AKA-100 and RGO/AKA-29 was examined in relation to their distinct catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) when incorporated into electrochemically rechargeable zinc–air batteries. In addition, the different morphology of zinc deposit and dendrite was characterized using SEM, TEM, and PXRD analysis. From this study, the high performance of active material was suggested to be due to the hybrid effect among akaganeite, maghemite, and reduced graphene oxide, which can produce a synergetic improvement.

Surface wetting gradient design plays a crucial role in enhancing liquid transportation in smart devices. However, achieving Janus wetting interfacial design to manage high-efficient ion transport paths remains a great challenge in textile electrodes. Herein, a porous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel layer was constructed on one side of the composite electrode, while a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) solution was sprayed onto the opposite side of electrode to obtain an asymmetric Janus-wettability textile electrode. Furthermore, the design of asymmetric wettability gradient and multilevel structure has been facilitated to directional liquid self-drive and ion transmission in a Janus-wettability textile electrode. Compared with the charge transfer resistance (Rct) of pure PDMS superhydrophobic electrode (1.58 Ω), the Rct of Janus-wettability electrode was 1.31 Ω, which reveals that the porous PVA layer is beneficial to promoting a rapid electron transfer. For solid-state supercapacitors (FSCs) with Janus-wettability electrode, the Rct of Janus-FSCs (0.5 Ω) was reduced by 90% compared to the composite FSCs (4.6 Ω) without PDMS coating, confirming a faster ionic diffusion after the introduction of stable PDMS superhydrophobic surface for wettability gradient. Moreover, the Janus-wettability FSCs also achieved a specific energy density of 0.104 mWh cm− 2 at 1.2 mW cm− 2, and cycle stability (96.8% after 10,000 cycles). These insights demonstrate the effectiveness of interface coordination in textile electrodes for enhancing electrochemical performance.

Bisphenol F (BPF) is a substitute agent for bisphenol A and is widely used in the production of materials such as epoxy resins and plastics. BPF accumulates in surface water because of its nonbiodegradable and recalcitrant nature, making it difficult to remove. In this study, the removal of BPF through a photocatalytic process was evaluated using zinc oxide (ZnO)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) microspheres. A spray drying method was used to prepare the ZnO/RGO microspheres, which combine the photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO with the high electron mobility and large surface area of RGO, achieving a bandgap of 2.53 eV. Structural and morphological analyses confirmed the successful hybridization of the ZnO/RGO microsphere composite. The photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/RGO microspheres was evaluated under various light sources, with the highest degradation efficiency achieved under ultraviolet C irradiation. The optimal catalyst dosage of the ZnO/RGO microspheres was determined to be 0.1 g/L for BPF removal (BPF initial concentration = 5 mg/L). Scavenger tests revealed the dominance of superoxide radicals ( O2 ·−) in the degradation process. The effects of pH (3.52–9.59), ions ( Cl−, NO3 −, and SO4 2−), and natural organic matter were also examined to assess the practical applicability of the ZnO/RGO microsphere photocatalytic system. High pH levels and the presence of NO3 − (> 10 mM) were found to enhance BPF removal. This research highlights the potential of the ZnO/RGO microspheres as efficient photocatalysts for the removal of BPF in aqueous solutions.

A hierarchical porous carbon/silicon composite material (CSCM) was prepared through KOH activation and acid leaching using coal gasification fine slag (CGFS) as the raw material. The KOH dosage, activation temperatures, and HCl acid amount were optimized. The obtained CSCMs showed higher pore volume in the range of 0.62–0.96 cm3/ g, and hierarchical porous structure with Vmicro./ Vmeso. ratio in the range of 1.54–3.31. The influence of Vmicro./ Vmeso. ratio of CSCM on CO2 adsorption at 0 °C was higher than that at 25 °C. Under higher specific area and pore volume, hierarchical pores with Vmicro./ Vmeso. ratio in the range of 2.81–2.91 were benefit for CO2 adsorption at 0 °C. The optimized CSCM demonstrated excellent CO2 adsorption capacities of 2.96 and 4.60 mmol/g at 25 and 0 °C, respectively. CO2 adsorption on CSCM was a heterogeneous physical process, and the cycle stability was excellent. Meanwhile, CSCM was mixed with Fe-based catalyst (Fe-K/CS) for CO2/ H2 catalysis. The hierarchical porous structure of CSCM improved the CO2 adsorption and H2 adsorption around the active sites, promoting CO2 conversion. The combination method of Fe-K and CSCM affected the distribution of CO2 hydrogenation products, and reasonable Vmicro./ Vmeso. ratio in CSCM effectively inhibited C–C chain growth, leading to higher olefins selectivity. The Fe-0.1K/CS-P catalyst achieved a CO2 conversion rate of 21.6% and a C2 =-C4 = selectivity of 47.7%. This study presented a promising approach for effectively utilizing CO2 and for the sustainable valorization of industrial solid waste.

In aluminum electrolysis, carbon anodes fulfill dual functions: providing electrical conductivity and participating in electrochemical reactions. However, these anodes face challenges such as cracking and degradation, which adversely affect their performance and longevity. Consequently, improving the quality of carbon anode is crucial to enhancing the production efficiency of electrolyzers. Key properties, including porosity and air permeability, significantly influence anode consumption and durability. This study presents the development of carbon anodes with reduced porosity and air permeability through optimized forming, sintering, and doping processes. Results revealed that using powdered pitch as a binder led to higher densification, improved flatness, and reduced porosity. Molding under a pressure of 20 MPa for 45 min further enhanced anode quality. Sintering reduced layer spacing and increased graphitization, with optimal conditions determined to be 1100 ℃ for 45 min. These conditions produced carbon anodes with maximum bulk density, minimum resistivity, and an air permeability of 2.54 nPm. The introduction of fusible B₂O₃ effectively sealed internal pores, coated the carbon substrate surfaces, and formed a protective film. This innovation reduced air permeability to 2.05 nPm and significantly enhanced the oxidation resistance of the anodes. These findings provide valuable insights into the production of high-performance carbon anodes, contributing to improved efficiency in aluminum electrolysis.

The insulating nature of elemental sulfur has been regarded as a major challenge limiting the electrochemical performance of Li–S batteries. Consequently, previous efforts have focused on developing conductive porous materials to enhance sulfur contact. In this study, we review this conventional assumption and demonstrate that the insulating property of sulfur is not the primary factor affecting Li–S battery performance. Instead, we introduce a novel sulfur host design using polar mesoporous carbon (p-MC), which possesses ultra-low electrical conductivity (6.45 × 10− 7 S cm− 1) and functional groups. Our results demonstrate that all sulfur particles within the nearly insulating p-MC matrix actively participate in electrochemical reduction during the initial discharge. A comparative study with a nonpolar mesoporous carbon host, which features a similar porous structure but higher conductivity (1.07 × 10− 1 S cm− 1), showed that the p-MC host achieved superior cycling stability. This performance is attributed to the strong interaction between the polar functional groups of p-MC and lithium polysulfides, enabling effective and stable confinement of the active materials during cycling. Our findings highlight a paradigm shift in the design of sulfur host materials and the critical role of polar functionalities. This study offers a promising strategy for the development of durable and high-performance Li–S batteries.

Electrochemical exfoliation of graphite to produce graphene flakes is receiving increased attention worldwide due to the simplicity and efficiency of the method. This study examines the effects of different exfoliation mediums, such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and potassium hydroxide, on the characteristics of electrochemically exfoliated graphene flakes (EEGFs) and their performance in supercapacitor applications. The study demonstrates that the choice of exfoliation medium significantly impacts the electrochemical characteristics and energy storage capabilities of the resultant graphene flakes. Graphene exfoliated in hydrochloric acid exhibits superior performance, which is attributed to an optimal balance of high conductivity, low defect density, and accessible surface area. Nitric acid-exfoliated graphene, despite being defect rich, offers competitive performance due to increased active sites and enhanced ion accessibility. In contrast, graphene flakes exfoliated in potassium hydroxide present the lowest electrochemical performance and the highest defect density. These findings provide valuable insights into tailoring the properties of electrochemically exfoliated graphene for high-performance energy storage devices.

Chemical activation consumes copious quantities of chemicals is therefore hampered by its low economic feasibility. However, this issue can be overcome through the recovery and reuse of alkali compounds leached into wastewater. Because the leached potassium compounds exist as the relatively less reactive K2CO3, we explored three different approaches to remove carbonate ions ( CO3 2−) from the wastewater: (i) CO₂ stripping after acidification, (ii) exchanging CO₃2⁻ for OH⁻ using strong basic anion exchange resins, and (iii) inducing a phase transition via a reaction with Ca(OH)2 to precipitate CaCO3. Both ion exchange and phase transition convert K2CO3 into highly reactive potassium compounds such as KOH. The phase transition effectively enhanced the specific surface area of the activated carbon and thus had implications for pore development in carbon precursors, while offering a viable recovery strategy for alkali compounds that reduces costs by approximately 20% compared to traditional methods. These findings suggest that the in-situ recycling of wastewater for the production of activated carbon can improve the economic viability of manufacturing processes.

Porous carbon derived from biomass represents pivotal electrode materials for electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). However, their applications are limited by the low pore utilization and low withstanding voltage (< 2.7 V), which largely hinder the energy density (Eg) of SCs. In this study, fulvic acid-derived porous carbons (FPs) were synthesized through the self-assembly and KOH activation strategy by employing fulvic acid (FA) as the precursor and cationic surfactant PDDA as the soft template. The electrostatic forces between FA and PDDA enable the structural orientation of FA, leading to the formation of stable layered liquid microcrystals. Besides, under the activation process, the decomposition of PDDA contributes to the interconnected pores in FPs. Thus, the obtained sample FP1 exhibits a high specific surface area (2593 m2 g− 1) and high mesopore ratio (48%). Moreover, low oxygen content and stable surface composition promote the withstanding voltage of FPs. In the TEABF4/ PC electrolyte, the sample FP1 is capable of a high voltage of 3.0 V, high-rate capability C10/0.05 of 76.3%, and high energy density of 39 Wh kg− 1.

A considerable amount of the food is wasted each year, creating an urgent global problem with negative economic and environmental effects. Livestock manure, a by-product of intensive animal farming, can contribute to environmental issues if not properly managed. While biochar, a product of pyrolysis, can speed up the composting process and improve compost quality, sawdust is frequently used in composting to balance the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. This study aimed to investigate the effects of biochar on compost quality in co-composting food waste and swine manure and the influence of raw materials in obtaining good quality ecofriendly compost. Experimental manipulations were conducted both with feedstock materials present and absent. The findings revealed that a biochar concentration of 6% had a positive impact on the composting process. Furthermore, the presence or absence of feedstocks influenced the composting rate and the quality of the compost. Through the addition of biochar, moisture balance and porosity were improved, promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms. Organic waste can be managed more sustainably and agricultural systems may be improved by keeping it out of landfills and composting it with biochar. According to this study, a proper balance of feedstock composition is equally important to the addition of biochar. The study contributes to the understanding of the composting process and the role of balancing feedstock components for the production of good quality compost.
