Here we present the first example of a mild and high-efficiency protocol enabling a process in water using 1 atm of H2 for the efficient and selective hydrogenation of nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones, and aldehydes to yield primary amines and alcohols with satisfactory yields of up to >99%.
All-printed flexible micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) based on two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with in-plane interdigital configurations are regarded as promising miniaturized power source units, but they chronically suffer from self-aggregation and inadequate matching of electrode materials, thus resulting in inefficient electrolyte ions intercalation. Herein, an innovative multicomponent interlaced architecture essentially consisting of 2amino-8-naphthol 6-sulfonic acid (ANS)-anchored pristine graphene and highly conductive multiwalled carbon nanotubes is reported. The assembled and optimized Gr@ANS electrodes offer sufficient absorption/desorption and redox-active sites, delivering a high areal capacitance of 33.7 mF/cm 2 for screen-printed MSCs. Particularly, the well-modified Gr@ANS/CNTsinterlaced complex structure effectively prevents the usual restacking of the delaminated Gr@ANS nanosheets and maximizes ion accessibility in electrodes. Ascribed to the optimized electron-transferring kinetics, the achieved Gr@ANS/CNTs MSCs exhibit excellent capacitance (40.2 mF/cm 2 and 18.8 F/cm 3 ), simultaneously significantly increasing the rate capability of Gr@ANS MSCs (from 3.9 to 60.0%). Arising from the multicomponent synergism, the all-solid-state MSCs exhibit outstanding bending stability and cycling performance (73.8% after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles). The new charge reservoir engineering evidenced in graphene-based micro-supercapacitors would serve as a stepping stone toward the scalable manufacture of hybrid energy storage micro-devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
