Routine or incremental work, however competently researched and reported, should not be recommended for publication if it does not meet our expectations with regard to novelty and impact.It is the responsibility of authors to provide fully convincing evidence for the homogeneity and identity of all compounds they claim as new. Evidence of both purity and identity is required to establish that the properties and constants reported are those of the compound with the new structure claimed.Thank you for your effort in reviewing this submission. It is only through the continued service of referees that we can maintain both the high quality of the publication and the rapid response times to authors.Corn husk, a renewable biomass, has been successfully explored as low-cost crude carbon source to prepare advanced higher-value 3D HPCs by means of KOH pre-treatment and direct pyrolysis, and the route is simple, self-template and easy to implement scale-up for industrialization. The CHHPCs present many advantages for supercapacior application, including higher surface area (928 m 2 g -1 ), hierarchical porosity consisting of macro, meso, and micropores, turbostratic carbon structure, uniform pore size, 3D architecture and rich O-doping (17.1 wt%). The supercapacitor performance of CHHPCs was evaluated in 6 M KOH electrolyte and 1 M Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte. The CHHPCs exhibits a high specific capacitance of 356 F g -1 and 300 F g -1 at 1 A g -1 , 20 A g -1 , respectively, ultra-high rate capability with 88% retention rate from 1 to 10 A g -1 and outstanding cycling stability with 95% capacitance retention after 2500 cycles. The CHHPCs symmetric supercapacitor displays a high energy density of 21 Wh kg -1 at a power density of 875 W kg -1 and retains as high as 11 Wh kg -1 at 5600 W kg -1 in 1M Na 2 SO 4 electrolyte. The facile, efficient and template-free synthesis strategy for novel 3D-HPCs from biomass sources may promote commercial application of 3D-HPCs in the fields of supercapacitors, lithium ion batteries, fuel cells and sorbents.

“…Among the most prominent catalytic materials are noteworthy supported metal nanoparticles, composite materials, metal oxide nanoparticles, metal organic frameworks and more recently bioconjugates. From an environmental point of view, special attention has received the bening‐by‐design of biomass‐derived catalyst, including materials with specific properties for application such as electro‐ and photo‐catalysis . Biomass is a wide concept, which includes lignocellulosic materials, starch/oilseed/sugar, aquatic cultures, and bio‐derived wastes (agricultural/animal/anthropological residues).…”

Environmental catalysis plays a crucial role in sustainable development by the design of novel catalytic materials and technologies. Several environmental issues are addressed by catalytic processes such as decomposition of pollutants for air, water and soil remediation, hydrogen production, CO2 reduction and biomass valorization, just to name a few. This contribution aims to provide a general overview of the main concepts and current advances in the environmental catalysis field. Special attention has been paid to photocatalysis and electrocatalysis, as sub‐areas of catalysis with tremendous potential in sustainable applications, in particular with regard to the promotion of sustainable energies. In this contribution, the partnership between Catalysis and Green Chemistry is presented, in a comprehensive way, as an open research line which is imperative and decisive for a more sustainable future.

Carbon‐neutral hydrogen has potential to alleviate the energy crisis and ease environmental problems. Water electrolysis is a sustainable way for large‐scale hydrogen production when electricity is generated from renewable energy resources. The key challenge in water splitting is the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Thus, it is important and necessary to develop highly efficient electrocatalysts in a cost‐effective way for OER. Porous materials have proven to be versatile in catalysis due to their large surface area, the fast mass diffusion, and the buffer ability of volume change. Herein, we summarize the recent progress of representative methodologies for the synthesis of porous materials toward electrocatalytic OER. The materials discussed in this Review include the cheap transition‐metal‐based (Co, Ni, and Fe) and metal‐free porous materials. This Review sheds light on the different strategies to construct catalysts with porous structures to facilitate OER.
