TL;DR: A critical review on how polyoxometalates emerged from being molecular clusters for fundamental studies, to next-generation materials for energy applications is provided in this article, highlighting how exploiting the versatility and activity of these molecules can lead to improved performance in energy devices such as supercapacitors and batteries, and in energy catalyst applications.

TL;DR: 3D binder-free electrode based on nickel oxide deposited on graphene (G-NiO) was fabricated by a simple two-step method, showing high cyclic stability and retention of specific capacity after 5,000 cycles, and is highly suitable for large scale production of highly stable and binders-free electrodes for electrochemical energy storage devices.

TL;DR: By pyrolysis of a simple Cobalt Metal Organic Framework (MOF) was able to synthesize a high-performance hybrid composite electrode with fibrous morphology conformal to the MOF, in a single step and at relatively low temperature (700°C) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the tetraethylammonium derivative of phosphotungstate [PW12O40]3− (PW 12) can be homogeneously distributed throughout the pores of activated carbon (AC) in organic solvents such as N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) and demonstrate the use of this hybrid electrode material in an organic electrolyte (1 M TEABF4 in acetonitrile) supercapacitor.

TL;DR: In this article, NiO was electrodeposited on a 3D graphene electrode to produce a nanocomposite with enhanced electrochemical properties, and the electrodeposition process parameters such as electrolyte concentration, deposition time, and deposition potential were statistically optimised using response surface methodology.
