Herein, we report the design of four novel metal–salen-incorporated conjugated microporous polymers as robust artificial leaves for photoreduction of atmospheric CO₂ with gaseous water. Owing to the rich nitrogen and oxygen moieties in the polymeric frameworks, they show a maximum CO₂ adsorption capacity of 46.1 cm³ g⁻¹ and adsorption selectivity for CO₂/N₂ of up to 82 at 273 K. Under air atmosphere and simulated solar light (100 mW cm⁻²), TEPT-Zn shows an excellent CO yield of 304.96 μmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹ with a selectivity of approximately 100%, which represents one of the best results in terms of organic photocatalysts for gas-phase CO₂ photoreduction so far. Furthermore, only small degradation in the CO yield is observed even after 120-h continuous illumination. More importantly, a good CO yield of 152.52 μmol g⁻¹ was achieved by directly exposing the photocatalytic reaction of TEPT-Zn in an outdoor environment for 3 h (25–28°C, 52.3 ± 7.9 mW cm⁻²).

One potential solution to enhance system efficiency is the use of nanofluidic membranes.

Nevertheless, inherent challenges in graphene fibers (GFs), particularly the restricted ion-accessible specific surface area (SSA) and sluggish ion transport kinetics, hinder the achievement of optimal capacitance and rate performance. Despite existing reviews on GFSCs, a notable gap exists in thoroughly exploring the kinetics governing the energy storage process in GFSCs. This review aims to address this gap by thoroughly analyzing the energy storage mechanism, fabrication methodologies, property manipulation, and wearable applications of GFSCs. Through theoretical analysis of the energy storage process, specific parameters in advanced GF fabrication methodologies are carefully summarized, which can be used to modulate nano/micro-structures, thereby enhancing energy storage kinetics. In particular, enhanced ion storage is realized by creating more ion-accessible SSA and introducing extra-capacitive components, while accelerated ion transport is achieved by shortening the transport channel length and improving the accessibility of electrolyte ions. Building on the established structure–property relationship, several critical strategies for constructing optimal surface and structure profiles of GF electrodes are summarized. Capitalizing on the exceptional flexibility and wearability of GFSCs, the review further underscores their potential as foundational elements for constructing multifunctional e-textiles using conventional textile technologies.

The ammonia generation by reacting air and water and using sunlight as an inexhaustible source of energy is the closest approach to the ideal situation for zero-carbon energy and chemical production. To promote solar-to-ammonia production, the photocatalyst plays a crucial role.
