“…These layers are connected by low energy van der Waals type bonds. This explains the laminated morphology of graphite [42,43]. Graphite is characterized by high thermal and electrical conductivity, good chemical stability, and remarkable plasticity [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50].…”

“…Graphite consists of interconnected carbon atoms arranged to hexagonally form flat networks in the form of layers stacked parallel to each other ( Figure 2b) [42,43]. These layers are connected by low energy van der Waals type bonds.…”

“…Graphite is characterized by high thermal and electrical conductivity, good chemical stability, and remarkable plasticity [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. A good thermal and electrical conductivity is attributed to the delocalization of the π-electrons of the carbon atoms in graphite, and its plasticity can be explained by the possibility of sliding the sheets layers one onto the other [42,43]. These favorable characteristics make graphite interesting materials for improving the transfer and storage of thermal energy, for preparing anodes of lithium-ion batteries, and for electrochemical applications.…”

“…The multisheet nanotubes consist of several graphene sheets wound concentrically with a spacing between two sheets of approximately 3.6 Å, slightly greater than the spacing between two sheets in graphite. The diameter of the nanotubes varies, depending on the number of sheets, from 1 to 50 nm, and their lengths can reach 1 µm [43,105,[108][109][110]. SWCNTs consist of a graphene sheet wound on itself, and they form a tube whose diameter is between 0.4 and 3 nm.…”

“…Carbon nanotubes are therefore composed of one or more sheets of carbon atoms, as in graphite, wound on themselves forming a tube. Carbon nanotubes have good mechanical properties, good adhesion, and excellent electrical conductivity [43,[111][112][113]. Some of these nanotubes have metallic properties [75,114,115], while others are semiconductors [116][117][118][119][120][121].…”

Porous materials constitute an attractive research field due to their high specific surfaces; high chemical stabilities; abundant pores; special electrical, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties; and their often higher reactivities. These materials are currently generating a great deal of enthusiasm, and they have been used in large and diverse applications, such as those relating to sensors and biosensors, catalysis and biocatalysis, separation and purification techniques, acoustic and electrical insulation, transport gas or charged species, drug delivery, and electrochemistry. Porous carbons are an important class of porous materials that have grown rapidly in recent years. They have the advantages of a tunable pore structure, good physical and chemical stability, a variable specific surface, and the possibility of easy functionalization. This gives them new properties and allows them to improve their performance for a given application. This review paper intends to understand how porous carbons involve the removal of pollutants from water, e.g., heavy metal ions, dyes, and organic or inorganic molecules. First, a general overview description of the different precursors and the manufacturing methods of porous carbons is illustrated. The second part is devoted to reporting some applications such using porous carbon materials as an adsorbent. It appears that the use of porous materials at different scales for these applications is very promising for wastewater treatment industries.

Li metal anode attracts tremendous attention in next-generation battery systems with high energy density, but volume change and dendritic growth limit its practical applications. Composite Li electrode can fundamentally suppress the volume effect and decrease the local current density, ensuring long-term cycling life. However, up to now, there is only limited success in preparing multifarious composite Li electrode, especially in thickness, posing great obstacles to further promoting its research and application. In this review, the thickness of composite Li electrode are strategically focussed upon and the merits and existing challenges of ultrathin composite Li electrode are evaluated. Meanwhile, the design principles and fundamental requirements for ultrathin composite Li electrode in the future are summarized and the existing cases related to this field are outlined as much as possible from synthetic chemistry, hoping it can serve as a handbook to provide a comprehensive understanding and guide reliable fabrication of advanced composite Li electrode. Challenges and opportunities regarding this burgeoning field are also critically evaluated at the end of this review.

Carbon-based nanomaterials, including graphene, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes, are attracting significant attention as promising materials for next-generation energy storage and conversion applications. They possess unique physicochemical properties, such as structural stability and flexibility, high porosity, and tunable physicochemical features, which render them well suited in these hot research fields. Technological advances at atomic and electronic levels are crucial for developing more efficient and durable devices. This comprehensive review provides a state-of-the-art overview of these advanced carbon-based nanomaterials for various energy storage and conversion applications, focusing on supercapacitors, lithium as well as sodium-ion batteries, and hydrogen evolution reactions. Particular emphasis is placed on the strategies employed to enhance performance through nonmetallic elemental doping of N, B, S, and P in either individual doping or codoping, as well as structural modifications such as the creation of defect sites, edge functionalization, and inter-layer distance manipulation, aiming to provide the general guidelines for designing these devices by the above approaches to achieve optimal performance. Furthermore, this review delves into the challenges and future prospects for the advancement of carbon-based electrodes in energy storage and conversion.
