High-performance capacitive carbon materials, derived from tobacco stalk, were prepared by a one-step carbonization process in molten carbonate. Owing to the high specific surface area (SSA) (1165.9 m2 g[Formula: see text] and heteroatom doping by the activation effect of molten salt medium for 3 h, the as-obtained carbon material with hierarchically porous structure exhibits an ideal capacitive property with delivering specific capacitances of 219.8, 188.0, 176.4, and 168.4 F g[Formula: see text] at 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2 A g[Formula: see text], respectively, acceptable rate performance with 76.6% capacitance retention in range of 0.2–2 A g[Formula: see text], and good cyclic stability with 93% capacitance retention after 3000 charge–discharge cycles at 1 A g[Formula: see text], as well as energy density of 30.5 Wh kg[Formula: see text] at 0.2 A g[Formula: see text] and power density of 989.6 W kg[Formula: see text] at 2 A g[Formula: see text] in 1 mol L[Formula: see text] H2SO4 aqueous solution using a three-electrode system. Moreover, it delivers specific capacitances of 143.3, 140.2, 137.4, and 134.3 F g[Formula: see text] at 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2 A g[Formula: see text], respectively, and excellent rate performance with 93.7% capacitance retention in range of 0.2–2 A g[Formula: see text], as well as energy density of 4.9 Wh kg[Formula: see text] at 0.2 A g[Formula: see text] and power density of 488.6 W kg[Formula: see text] at 2 A g[Formula: see text] in 6 mol L[Formula: see text] KOH aqueous solution using a symmetrical two-electrode system. The correlation between hierarchically porous structure with heteroatom doping and capacitive performance is also discussed.

Three SAP (self-assembling peptide)-tagged fluorinases (FLAs) are successfully prepared. All three SAP-tagged FLAs bear enzymatic activity and they form nano-sized particles in aqueous solution. One of them displays improved enzyme activity, thermostability and reusability.

Inspired by the self-assembly approach, in this work, the chromogen, 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), was successfully co-precipitated in aqueous solution to form collective nanoparticles (NPs) of signal molecules (TMB-NPs).

While both field experience and laboratory experiments have shown that the efficiency of adsorbed corrosion inhibitor films improves upon exposure of the aqueous solution to a hydrocarbon phase, a credible explanation of these results is lacking. Using a combination of experiments and molecular simulations, this study examines how exposure to oil molecules affects the nature of adsorbed corrosion inhibitor films on metal surfaces. It is found that oil molecules get coadsorbed in the corrosion inhibitor films, making them more hydrophobic, structurally more ordered, and well packed. Corrosion inhibitor molecules with a bulky polar head adsorb in nonplanar, cylinder-like morphologies. Coadsorption of oil molecules changes the morphology of these films to a planar self-assembled monolayer.
