Harvesting largely ignored and wasted electromagnetic (EM) energy released by electronic devices converting it into direct current (DC) electricity is an attractive strategy not only to reduce EM pollution but also address the ever-increasing crisis. Here we report synthesis of nanoparticle-templated graphene with monodisperse staggered circular nanopores enabling EM-heat-DC conversion pathway.

Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have been investigated as promising anodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries, but they usually suffer from poor conductivity and large volume variation, thus leading to unsatisfactory performance. Although nanostructure engineering hybridization with conductive materials proposed address this concern, a better performance toward practical device applications is still highly desired. Herein, we report an iron-doping-induced structural phase...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are periodic organic–inorganic materials that have garnered considerable attention for electrocatalytic applications due to their wide tunability. Metal-hydroxide organic (MHOFs), a subset of MOFs combine layered metal hydroxides with ligands various π–π stacking energy, shown promising catalytic functions, such as the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
