Here, we report a novel CuCo-oxide/N-GCNT composite, synthesized via a scalable, solvent-free method, and evaluated for supercapacitors, catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol, HMF oxidation, and water splitting. The composite exhibited a high specific capacitance of 162.63 F/g at 1 A/g, an energy density of 22.5 Wh/kg, and a power density of 1267.3 kW/kg, with 88.08% retention after 10,000 cycles, demonstrating excellent supercapacitor stability. In environmental catalysis, the material enabled complete 4-nitrophenol reduction in 3 min with a pseudo-first-order rate constant (89.72 × 10⁻² s⁻¹). It also achieved 98.7% HMF conversion and 68.6% FDCA yield using 70% t-BuOOH as an oxidant. As a bifunctional electrocatalyst, CuCo-oxide/N-GCNT delivered overpotentials of 258 mV (OER) and 185 mV (HER) at 100 mA/cm², with Tafel slopes of 56.5 mV/dec (OER) and 84.0 mV/dec (HER). The enhanced performance is attributed to synergistic bimetallic interactions, high porosity, and uniform active site dispersion. This study establishes CuCo-oxide/N-GCNT as a sustainable, high-performance alternative to noble-metal catalysts for next-generation energy and environmental applications.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"8 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":21.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-025-01374-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145062302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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, MOF materials encounter substantial challenges in practical applications, including poor spatial dispersion, severe agglomeration, and insufficient interfacial compatibility with polymer matrix, which substantially impede their incorporation into polymer composite materials. Building upon the foundational research of our group in MOF surface modification and nanocomposite engineering, this work systematically investigates the hierarchical integration strategies of MOFs with dimensionally controlled nanomaterials (encompassing 0D nanoparticles, 1D nanofibers/nanotubes, 2D nanosheets, and 3D interconnected networks). Through precise modulation of interfacial chemistry and architectural design, we have successfully addressed the dispersion limitations of MOFs and significantly enhanced the synergistic effects within the composite matrix. Experimental results demonstrate that this novel integration approach effectively mitigates nanofiller aggregation and substantially enhances the flame retardancy, mechanical strength, and electrical conductivity of the resultant composites. A detailed examination has been conducted exploring how MOF-based nanocomposites integrate within the polymer matrix, encompassing fabrication approaches, physical and chemical properties, and prospective uses. Our investigation addresses existing obstacles while evaluating future directions within this expanding research domain. By offering both fundamental scientific understanding and concrete recommendations, this work aims to facilitate advances in developing advanced functional materials incorporating MOF-based nanomaterials.

To address these limitations, we have developed novel nanomaterials that integrate both adsorption and photocatalytic functions, thereby enhancing treatment efficiency. The composite materials were synthesized by co-precipitating CeO₂ onto the surface of NiAl-Layered Double Hydroxides (NiAl-LDHs). These composites were then employed for the degradation of Naphthol Blue Black (NBB) effluent. The results revealed that the optimized CeO₂@NiAl-LDHs achieved a 96.2% removal of NBB, which represents a 67.9% improvement compared to pure NiAl-LDHs. The primary mechanisms of NBB adsorption onto CeO₂@NiAl-LDHs were identified as ligand exchange and electrostatic attraction. Additionally, CeO₂@NiAl-LDHs form a direct Z-scheme heterojunction, which promotes efficient electron–hole separation and enhances the generation of ·OH and O₂^·⁻, key species involved in NBB degradation. After 8 h of treatment, the CeO₂@NiAl-LDHs system reduced biological toxicity of wastewater, while improving its biodegradability (BOD/COD increased to 0.41). Even after 5 cycles, the composite material’s removal rate for NBB only slightly decreased from 96.2% to 88.6%.

This is achieved through selective surface delignification, directional NaIO₄ oxidation, and subsequent cell wall reconstruction via hot-pressing, effectively overcoming these longstanding challenges. Within this structure, the protective layer of the resulting tooth-mimetic bamboo hierarchical composite (TMB) forms via plasticization induced by the hydroxyl-aldehyde condensation reaction of dialdehyde cellulose, while the core layer densifies during hot-pressing. Consequently, TMB exhibits exceptional waterproofing, demonstrating a 99.0% reduction in surface water absorption rate compared to natural bamboo (NB). Remarkably, the protective layer maintains its waterproofing efficacy even after enduring over 100 cycles of abrasion and peeling. Additionally, TMB effectively repels common household liquids (e.g., coffee, milk, juice), and stubborn stains such as those from oil-based markers can be readily wiped off.
