However, it is currently limited by its low photothermal conversion efficiency, salt accumulation, and poor reliability. Herein, inspired by human intestinal villi structure, we design and fabricate a novel intestinal villi-like nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes solar steam generator (N-CNTs SSG) consisting of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical carbon nanotube matrices for ultrahigh solar evaporation efficiency. The 3D matrices with radial direction nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube clusters achieve ultrahigh surface area, photothermal efficiency, and hydrophilicity, which significantly intensifies the whole interfacial solar evaporation process. The new solar evaporation efficiency reaches as high as 96.8%. Furthermore, our ab initio molecular dynamics simulation reveals that N-doped carbon nanotubes exhibit a greater number of electronic states in close proximity to the Fermi level when compared to pristine carbon nanotubes. The outstanding absorptivity in the full solar spectrum and high solar altitude angles of the 3D hierarchical carbon nanotube matrices offer great potential to enable ultrahigh photothermal conversion under all-day and all-season circumstances.","PeriodicalId":33706,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Energy","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cey2.655","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the commonly utilized precursors, such as polyacrylonitrile and pitch, exhibit a lack of environmental sustainability, and their costs are heavily reliant on fluctuating petroleum prices. To meet the substantial market demand for CFs, significant efforts have been made to develop cost-effective and sustainable CFs derived from biomass. Lignin, the most abundant polyphenolic compound in nature, is emerging as a promising precursor which is well-suited for the production of CFs due to its renewable nature, low cost, high carbon content, and aromatic structures. Nevertheless, the majority of lignin raw materials are currently derived from pulping and biorefining industrial by-products, which are diverse and heterogeneous in nature, restricting the industrialization of lignin-derived CFs. This review classifies fossil-derived and biomass-derived CFs, starting from the sources and chemical structures of raw lignin, and outlines the preparation methods linked to the performance of lignin-derived CFs. A comprehensive discussion is presented on the relationship between the structural characteristics of lignin, spinning preparation, and structure-morphology-property of lignin-derived CFs. Additionally, the potential applications of these materials in various domains, including energy, catalysis, composites, and other advanced products, are also described with the objective of spotlighting the unique merits of lignin. Finally, the current challenges faced and future prospects for the advancement of lignin-derived CFs are proposed.","PeriodicalId":33706,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Energy","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cey2.662","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metal-free carbon nitride has extensive applications but with almost no absorption and utilization of near-infrared light, accounting for 50% of sunlight. Here, a molten salt-assisted in-plane “stitching” and interlayer “cutting” protocol is developed for constructing a highly crystalline carbon nitride catalyst containing structural oxygen (HC-CN). HC-CN is highly efficient for the photothermal cascade transformation of biomass-derived glucose into lactic acid (LA) with an unprecedented yield (94.3%) at 25°C under full-spectrum light irradiation within 50 min, which is also applicable to quantitatively photo-upgrading various saccharides. Theoretical calculations expound that the light-induced glucose-to-catalyst charge transfer can activate the C\u0000 β\u0000 –H bond to promote the rate-determining step of intramolecular hydrogen shift in glucose-to-fructose isomerization. Meanwhile, the introduced structural oxygen in HC-CN can not only facilitate the local electric field formation to achieve rapid charge transport/separation and regulate selective •O2\u0000 − generation for oriented C3–C4 bond cleavage of fructose but also narrow the energy band gap to broaden the light absorption range of HC-CN, contributing to enhanced LA production without exogenous heating. Moreover, HC-CN is highly recyclable and exhibits negligible environmental burden and low energy consumption, as disclosed by the life cycle assessment. Tailored construction of full-spectrum light adsorption and versatile reaction sites provides a reference for implementing multi-step biomass and organic conversion processes under mild conditions.","PeriodicalId":33706,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Energy","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cey2.675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-depth structural and surface chemical characterizations during the electrocatalytic process combined with theoretical calculations reveal that Ni(1−x)FexPS3 undergoes surface reconstruction under alkaline conditions to form the metal oxyhydroxide/phosphorus trichalcogenide (NiFeOOH/Ni1−xFexPS3) heterostructure. Interestingly, the generated heterointerface facilitates BA oxidation with a low onset potential of 1.39 V and Faradaic efficiency of 53% for benzonitrile (BN) synthesis.

This innovative design aligns the reaction rates of the cathode and anode in SABs, achieving stable discharge around 1.7 V for 188 h. Furthermore, an all-in-one quasi-solid-state SAB (QSSSAB) was first developed using a suitable acid–base gel electrolyte. This all-in-one QSSSAB showcases good safety, low cost, and portability, with open-circuit voltage of 1.6 V and energy density of 300.2 Wh kg−1, surpassing the energy density of most previously reported aqueous SABs.

Herein, experimental and numerical studies on the geometric optimization of a hygroscopic-membrane heat sink (HMHS) are conducted. The HMHS is based on water evaporation from a membrane-encapsulated hygroscopic salt solution, in which pin fins are used for thermal conductivity enhancement. A comprehensive heat and mass transfer model is developed and validated. To obtain the HMHS configuration with the maximum cooling performance, an approach that couples the Taguchi method with numerical simulations is utilized. The contribution ratio of each design factor is determined. Experimentally validated results demonstrate that the maximum temperature reduction provided by the HMHS can be further improved from 15.5°C to 17.8°C after optimization, achieving a temperature reduction of up to 21°C at a fixed heat flux of 25 kW/m2 when compared with a similarly sized fin heat sink. Remarkably, the optimized HMHS extends the effective cooling time by ∼343% compared with traditional phase-change materials, achieving a maximum temperature reduction ranging from 7.0°C to 20.4°C. Meanwhile, the effective heat transfer coefficient achieved is comparable with that of forced liquid cooling. Our findings suggest that the proposed cooling approach provides a new pathway for intermittent thermal management, which is expected to be used for thermal regulation of electronics, batteries, photovoltaic panels, and LED lights.","PeriodicalId":33706,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Energy","volume":"7 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cey2.665","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
