TL;DR: In this article, the NiSe@NiOx core-shell nanowires were used for the conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) for improving the sluggish kinetics of selective oxidation alcohol groups.

TL;DR: A series of hierarchical Ni-Co-based transition metal oxide catalysts for HMF oxidation by electrocatalysis are reported, which may open up new potential materials for highly efficient electrochemical biomass upgrading.

TL;DR: A bimetallic selenide encapsulated in nitrogen, sulfur-codoped hollow carbon nanospheres interconnected reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (rGO@MCSe) are successfully designed as advanced anode materials for Na/K-ion batteries and show excellent energy storage properties in Na/ K-ion full cells when coupled with Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 O2 F and PTCDA@450 °C cathodes.

TL;DR: An organic weak acid, 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid (PTCA), confined on the electrode surface is discovered, revealing a reversible and ultrafast protonation/deprotonation non-Faradaic process but exhibiting analogous voltammetric peaks (capacitive peaks).

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of surface treatment and electrolyte-wetting on the properties of supercapacitors was investigated and the contribution of pseudocapacitance and double-layer capacitance increased with the content of PA due to the increased redox groups and enlarged electrolyte accessible area.
