TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic state emission plays a leading role, as opposed to defect state emission in GQDs, and the luminescence mechanism (the competition between both the defect state emissions and intrinsic state emissions) is explored in detail.

TL;DR: In this paper, nongraphitic carbons as K-ion anodes with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as the binder are systematically investigated, and a hard-soft composite carbon with 20 wt% soft carbon distributed in the matrix phase of hard carbon microspheres exhibits highly amenable performance: high capacity, high rate capability, and very stable long-term cycling.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step method was used to synthesize GQDs with tunable surface chemistry (increasing oxidation degree) by an efficient two-stage method, which can be used as pH sensors.

TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of hard carbons structure can be modified systematically by heteroatom doping, and these structural changes greatly affect Na-ion storage properties, which reveals the mechanisms for Na storage in hard carbon.

TL;DR: Characteristics of several redox electrolytes are reported to illustrate operational/self-discharge mechanisms and the design rules for high performance in electrochemical double-layer capacitors.
