MXenes with applications in supercapacitors and secondary batteries: A comprehensive review

ZIF-67/wood derived self-supported carbon composites for electromagnetic interference shielding and sound and heat insulation

“…However, the high cost of materials, such as carbon nanotubes, AgNWs, and MXenes, makes them unsuitable for production applications. 21,22 Moreover, although wood-based porous carbon and its composite materials have good conduction loss, magnetic loss is also an important EM wave loss mechanism. 23 Therefore, adding magnetic metal particles in EMI shielding materials can also introduce magnetic loss while improving the electrical loss and consequently improving the EM shielding performance.…”

Rare Earth-Doped MoS2 for Supercapacitor Application

“…Renewable natural energy sources such as the sun and wind help to produce energy only when they are uninterrupted, only when the sun’s intensity is high, and only when the wind blows. , Supercapacitors, batteries, and hydrogen-oxygen-producing fuel cells are the best alternatives to solve the problems in the use of such renewable energy sources. Supercapacitors, which have attracted enormous research interest today, are believed as the best energy storage materials because of their longevity life, more rapid charge/discharge, elevated energy and power density, and green environmentally friendly properties even in severe circumstances. − They also support applications such as portable electronics, regenerative braking system, backup power supply, industrial power and energy management, etc., with subsidiary to batteries. Furthermore, the energy storage capacity of the supercapacitor greatly depends on the working electrode material and its fabrication.…”

High performance supercapacitors based on wood-derived thick carbon electrodes synthesized via green activation process

“…18 Alternatively, the "top-down" method refers to the regulation of the pore structure and chemical composition of integral carbonaceous precursors by porosity tuning (dry/wet activation) and/or heteroatom engineering (in situ and ex situ) to achieve excellent capacitive performance. [19][20][21] Among a variety of carbonaceous scaffolds, carbon monoliths derived from renewable wood blocks are a promising choice due to their abundant vertical channels for buffering and transport of electrolyte ions, and perforated pits on the channel walls, which are conducive to the infiltration of electrolytes between adjacent units. The self-supporting structure can eliminate the addition of inactive components and maximize the loading of active materials.…”
