The unique structure and properties of TCM including graphene and carbon nanotubes to activated carbon and carbon dots, have projected them as next-generation technological materials for innovation. A careful and critical discussion of state-of-the-art research sheds light on their effectiveness in catalyzing the breakdown of PAHs, which projects TCM suitable for managing other environmental pollutants-of-concerns like polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pharmaceuticals, micro/nano-plastics, textile waste, industrial effluents, etc. Beyond this viewpoint, this article expands the scope of TCM for 1) biomedical and healthcare, 2) energy storage and conversion, and 3) advanced electronics. The challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives related to the role of TCM for environmental applications, inspiring further research, and innovation in photo-induced degradation techniques are also carefully discussed in this article. This focused article serves as a valuable resource for researchers and industrialists interested in harnessing the capabilities of carbon-based materials for efficient and sustainable photocatalytic degradation of PAHs and other environmental pollutants.

Despite the emerging research enthusiasm in this field, the intrinsic correlation between the design and application of SCFs has not been explicitly stated, which severely hinders their further development. In this review, we establish an internal connection between the design and application for the first time by elaborately analyzing the key properties of the SCFs, aiming to provide comprehensive guidance for the application-oriented design. First, the design of structures, conductive materials, and preparation methods, which determine the mechanical and electrical properties of the SCFs, is summarized in detail. Then, the key properties of SCFs as well as their relationship with design and applications are analyzed. Next, several representative applications of SCFs that possess high dependency on the key properties are described.

Interestingly, it opens the door for the development of the 2D materials family, which includes different classes of 2D materials. Among them, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and transition metal carbide MXenes (TMCs) have emerged. TMDs have unique layered structures, low cost, and are composed of earth abundant elements, but their poor electronic conductivity, poor cyclic stability, their structural and morphological changes during electrochemical measurements hinder their practical use. Recently, TMC MXenes have garnered attention in the 2D material world, but the issue of restacking and aggregation limits their direct use in large-scale energy conversion and storage. To address these challenges, hetero structures based on conductive TMCs MXenes and electrochemically active TMDs have emerged as a promising solution. However, understanding the solid/solid interface in heterostructured materials remains a challenge. To tackle this, 2D single component crystals with high capacity, low diffusion barrier, and good electronic conductivity are highly sought. The emergence of transition metal carbo-chalcogenides (TMCCs) has provided a potential solution, as these 2D nanosheets consist of TM₂X₂C, where TM represents transition metal, X is either S or Se, and C atom. This new class of 2D materials serves as a remedy by avoiding the challenges related to solid/solid interfaces often encountered in heterostructures. This review focuses on the latest developments in TMCCs, including their synthetic strategies, surface/interface engineering, and potential application in batteries, water splitting, and other electro-catalytic processes. The challenges and future perspectives of the design of TMCCs for electrochemical energy conversion and storage are also discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":411,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Materials Science","volume":"144 ","pages":"Article 101287"},"PeriodicalIF":37.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140208913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The membrane separation has proven to be highly promising to address energy, resource, and environmental challenges.

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), as promising building materials have received substantial attention for membranes separation over the last decade. Different from conventional polymers, PIMs are a new class of microporous polymer materials that possess favorable solubility, well-defined pore architectures, and steerable post-modification due to the designability of synthesis monomer at a molecular level. In this review, we first discuss the state of the art of PIMs-based separation membranes and highlight their critical merits for membrane design. We then describe rational strategies towards fabricating PIM-based membranes and their applications, with a focus on the recent advances in gas separation, pervaporation (PV), nanofiltration (NF) and organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). Furthermore, the physical aging issue of PIMs and its advanced strategies are also discussed and summarized.

This has led to a major research field over the past two decades to characterize and model the properties and mechanisms induced by such hierarchical biological structures. However, the inability to manufacture synthetic structural materials incorporating these natural designs in the form of bioinspired materials has been a major “road block”. Here we examine recent processes that can serve to overcome this issue, specifically by infiltrating a metal melt into porous scaffolds of reinforcement. Indeed, the melt infiltration technique offers an effective means for constructing bioinspired architectures in metallic materials, thereby affording the creation of high-performance bioinspired metal composites. The bioinspired architectures, wherein the constituents are mutually interpenetrated in 3D space often in line with specific configurations, have been proven to be effective for combining the property advantages of constituents, retarding the evolution of damage, and playing a toughening role by resisting crack propagation; as such, these effects confer a great potential towards achieving outstanding properties.

The formation, structure, and mechanical and functional properties of these composites are elaborated in conjunction with the state-of-the-art progress to provide a special focus on the effects of bioinspired architectures.
