This technology involves the interaction of two or more bodies of water with varying concentrations of salt ions. The movement of these ions across a membrane generates electricity. However, the efficiency of these systems faces a challenge due to membrane performance degradation over time, often caused by channel blockages. One potential solution to enhance system efficiency is the use of nanofluidic membranes. These specialized membranes offer high ion exchange capacity, abundant ion sources, and customizable channels with varying sizes and properties. Graphene oxide (GO)-based membranes have emerged as particularly promising candidates in this regard, garnering significant attention in recent literature. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the literature surrounding GO membranes and their applications in RED systems. It also highlights recent advancements in the utilization of GO membranes within these systems.

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. In conclusion, this review provides insights into current challenges and suggests potential research directions for GFSCs.</p>","PeriodicalId":33706,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Energy","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cey2.625","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143110518","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}

To mitigate the present and future environmental issues, replacing fossil feedstocks with renewable sources is of primary importance, aiming to meet future generations' demands for energy and commodities.

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.

In this study, the AF-ASSBs are demonstrated with reliable and robust electrochemical properties by employing Cu–Sn nanotube (NT) thin layer (~1 µm) on the Cu current collector for regulating Li electrodeposition. Li_<i>x</i>Sn phases with high Li-ion diffusivity in the lithiated Cu–Sn NT layer enable facile Li diffusion along with its one-dimensional hollow geometry.
