In this work, the hierarchical porous Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4 composite was prepared by growing Ni1.5Co1.5S4 nanoparticles on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets via a hydrothermal route. Due to the self-assembly of larger size g-C3N4 nanosheets as a skeleton, the prepared nanocomposite possesses a unique hierarchical porous structure that can provide short ions diffusion and fast electron transport. As a result, the Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4 composite exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1827 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1, which is 1.53 times that of pure Ni1.5Co1.5S4 (1191 F g−1). In particular, the Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4//activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor delivers a high energy density of 49.0 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 799.0 W kg−1. Moreover, the assembled device shows outstanding cycle stability with 95.5% capacitance retention after 8000 cycles at a high current density of 10 A g−1. The attractive performance indicates that the easily synthesized and low-cost Ni1.5Co1.5S4/g-C3N4 composite would be a promising electrode material for supercapacitor application.

Hierarchical porousα-FeOOH nanoparticles were controlled and prepared via a facile polystyrene (PS) microspheres-templated method. Theα-Fe2O3was obtained by the calcination of the as-preparedα-FeOOH. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N2-sorption techniques. The adsorption and photodegradation of Rhodamine B performance were evaluated under UV light at room temperature. The results indicated that the photocatalytic activity of theα-FeOOH nanoparticles is superior toα-Fe2O3-200 andα-Fe2O3-300 due to the hierarchically multiporous structure and high surface area. This convenient and low-cost process provides a rational synthesis alternative for the preparation of multiporous materials and the as-synthesis products have great foreground applications in many aspects.

A template-free oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst Fe and N co-doped hierarchical porous graphitic carbon (Fe,N/PGC) was prepared by pyrolyzing a nontoxic and low-cost iron-coordinated polydopamine polymer precursor at 800 °C. The obtained catalyst manifests outstanding oxygen reduction activity in a wide range of pH.

In this work, the hierarchically porous biomass carbon (HPBC) was originally prepared for desalination through a simple activation of cheap biomass carbon (BC). Such crucial activated conditions as the KOH/C ratio, the activation time and the activation temperature were deeply investigated. It is demonstrated that the activated conditions had a great influence on the structure properties and electrochemical performance. According to structure and surface analyses, the HPBC with larger surface area and hierarchical porous structure could be well obtained in suitable activation conditions. The electrochemical analyses showed that the HPBC showed increased electrosorption capacitance, lower inner resistance and good stability, which can be attributed to large accessible surface area and smooth ion transportation. In the further desalination test, the HPBC electrode exhibited enhanced desalination efficiency and capacity. Hence, HPBC can be a promising candidate electrode material for desalination with low cost and high efficiency.
