TL;DR: Carbon-based materials have multiple advantages including abundant sources, tunable molecular structures, high electronic conductivity, and environmental compatibility as mentioned in this paper. But, there is no systematic review yet covering all the general methods to boost carbon-based electrocatalysts for ORR/OER/HER, and reporting their most recent progress.

TL;DR: T-carbon, a previously predicted but experimentally unobserved carbon allotrope, has been produced from pseudo-topotactic conversion of a multi-walled carbon nanotube suspension in methanol by picosecond pulsed-laser irradiation, revealing the phase transformation to be first order in nature.

TL;DR: The thermal decomposition temperature of violet phosphorus was measured to be 52 °C higher than its black phosphorus counterpart which was assumed to be the most sable one, indicating that violet phosphorus is the most stable phosphorus allotrope.

TL;DR: The electrochemical performances of the hybrid structures have been demonstrated as anodes for lithium ion batteries to be significantly increased by breaking MoS2 nanotubes into nanosheets (patches) on MWCNT surfaces, especially at high current rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review about the electrochemical performances of red/black phosphorus composites with different hierarchical structures is presented, and the development challenges and future perspectives of phosphorus structures as anodes for LIBs and SIBs are discussed.
