Synthesis of Coal Tar‐Based Hypercrosslinked Polymers via Friedel‐Crafts Alkylation: An Efficient Way to Access Carbon Electrode Material for Supercapacitors

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Liquid coal tar (CT) is synthesized into hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) via the Friedel–Crafts alkylation, followed by oxidation‐carbonization to form disordered microporous carbon. The resulting CF2CT exhibits a high three‐electrode specific capacitance of 342 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, and the assembled symmetric supercapacitor illuminates a light sign ...

Balancing the Competing Effects of Carrier and Phonon Transport Mechanisms to Enhance the Thermoelectric Properties of p‐Type Ti2Zr2−xHf2Nb2Fe5.6Ni2.4Sb8 Double Half‐Heusler Alloys via Cation Vacancy Engineering

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
By designing Zr vacancy‐filled p‐type Ti2Zr2Hf2Nb2Fe5.6Ni2.4Sb8‐based thermoelectric materials, multi‐physics mechanisms and multi‐scale microstructural defects are induced to optimize electrical properties and phonon transport while suppressing the bipolar diffusion effect.

Bioinspired Janus Evaporator for Efficient Desalination of Saline‐Alkali and Seawater Through Photothermal‐Capillary Effects

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work combines textile technology to ingeniously integrate a hydrophobic PP/MXene photothermal sheath with a hydrophilic cotton core into functionalized yarns, successfully developing a Janus core‐sheath evaporator (PM‐CSY‐F). The evaporator demonstrates outstanding evaporation rates and efficient desalination efficiency when applied to treating ...
