文摘Two-dimensional(2D)materials show great potential as novel membrane materials due to their atomic thickness and periodic pore structure.Currently,free-standing membranes based on 2D materials open up new avenues for ultra-fast and highly selective separation.With the absence of porous substrates,free-standing membranes offer shortened transport paths for efficient mass transfer.The interfacial defects between the substrate and selective layer are eliminated to alleviate the internal membrane fouling,enabling the intact structure for precise separation.Hence,this review aims to outline the superiority of 2D material-based free-standing membranes for selective separation applications.Free-standing 2D material membranes composed of the most representative graphenebased materials,MXene,covalent organic framework(COF),metal organic framework(MOF),and hydrogen-bonded organic framework(HOF)are summarized with the discussion on the influence of substrate on their structural properties.The separation performance enhancement strategies in regard to the 2D material,membrane structure,and mechanical properties are examined.Finally,we propose several critical challenges and perspectives in terms of pore size control,mechanical strength improvement,understanding the underlying mass transfer mechanism,issues related to membrane fabrication optimization,scale production,and separation application versatility.This review will provide researchers with practical guidelines for advancing free-standing 2D material membranes for future selective separation applications.

文摘Latent heat thermal energy storage(TES)effectively reduces the mismatch between energy supply and demand of renewable energy sources by the utilization of phase change materials(PCMs).However,the low thermal conductivity and poor shape stability are the main drawbacks in realizing the large-scale application of PCMs.Promisingly,developing composite PCM(CPCM)based on porous supporting mate-rial provides a desirable solution to obtain performance-enhanced PCMs with improved effective thermal conductivity and shape stability.Among all the porous matrixes as supports for PCM,three-dimensional carbon-based porous supporting material has attracted considerable attention ascribing to its high ther-mal conductivity,desirable loading capacity of PCMs,and excellent chemical compatibility with various PCMs.Therefore,this work systemically reviews the CPCMs with three-dimensional carbon-based porous supporting materials.First,a concise rule for the fabrication of CPCMs is illustrated in detail.Next,the experimental and computational research of carbon nanotube-based support,graphene-based support,graphite-based support and amorphous carbon-based support are reviewed.Then,the applications of the shape-stabilized CPCMs including thermal management and thermal conversion are illustrated.Last but not least,the challenges and prospects of the CPCMs are discussed.To conclude,introducing carbon-based porous materials can solve the liquid leakage issue and essentially improve the thermal conductivity of PCMs.However,there is still a long way to further develop a desirable CPCM with higher latent heat capacity,higher thermal conductivity,and more excellent shape stability.

文摘Rechargeable magnesium batteries(RMBs)are a cutting-edge energy storage solution,with several advantages over the state-of-art lithiumion batteries(LIBs).The use of magnesium(Mg)metal as an anode material provides a much higher gravimetric capacity compared to graphite,which is currently used as the anode material in LIBs.Despite the significant advances in electrolyte,the development of cathode material is limited to materials that operate at low average discharge voltage(<1.0 V vs.Mg/Mg^(2+)),and developing high voltage cathodes remains challenging.Only a few materials have been shown to intercalate Mg^(2+)ions reversibly at high voltage.This review focuses on the structural aspects of cathode material that can operate at high voltage,including the Mg^(2+)intercalation mechanism in relation to its electrochemical properties.The materials are categorized into transition metal oxides and polyanions and subcategorized by the intrinsic Mg^(2+)diffusion path.This review also provides insights into the future development of each material,aiming to stimulate and guide researchers working in this field towards further advancements in high voltage cathodes.
