A hierarchical porous polymeric network (HPPN) with ultrahigh specific surface area up to 2870 m2 g−1 was synthesized via a one-step ionothermal synthesis method without using templates. As the electrode material of supercapacitors, HPPN-400-30 exhibits a specific capacitance of 129 F g−1 at 10 A g−1 and demonstrates an excellent cycling stability with 99.93% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles at 10 A g−1. Furthermore, an all-solid-state supercapacitor (ASSS) based on HPPN-400-30 exhibits an energy density of 8.1 W h kg−1 at the high power density of 5027 W kg−1.

Graphene-directed two-dimensional (2D) nitrogen-doped porous carbon frameworks (GPF) as the hosts for sulfur were constructed via the ionothermal polymerization of 1,4-dicyanobenzene directed by the polyacrylonitrile functionalized graphene nanosheets. As cathodes for lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries, the prepared GPF/sulfur nanocomposites exhibited a high capacity up to 962 mA h g−1 after 120 cycles at 2 A g−1. A high reversible capacity of 591 mA h g−1 was still retained even at an extremely large current density of 20 A g−1. Such impressive electrochemical performance of GPF should benefit from the 2D hierarchical porous architecture with an extremely high specific surface area, which could facilitate the efficient entrapment of sulfur and polysulfides and afford rapid charge transfer, fast electronic conduction as well as intimate contact between active materials and the electrolyte during cycling.

Biomass such as hair, silk and feathers is regarded as an appealing candidate for the fabrication of heteroatom-doped carbon nanomaterials. In this work, we report a facile and efficient approach to synthesise photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) from goose feathers by microwave-hydrothermal treatment. These goose feather generated CDs possess a uniform two-dimensional morphology with a diameter of ∼21.5 nm and a height of ∼4.5 nm. Inheriting the heteroatom-rich nature of goose feathers, the resulting CDs contain a large amount of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur atoms and have a high photoluminescence efficiency of ∼17.1%. Used as label-free photoluminescence probes, the goose feather derived CDs exhibit highly sensitive and selective detection behavior of Fe3+ ions with a low detection limit of 196 nM.

Abstract
It is highly desirable to develop electroactive organic materials and their derivatives as green alternatives of cathodes for sustainable and cost-effective lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in energy storage fields. Herein, compact two-dimensional coupled graphene and porous polyaryltriazine-derived frameworks with tailormade pore structures are fabricated by using various molecular building blocks under ionothermal conditions. The porous nanosheets display nanoscale thickness, high specific surface area, and strong coupling of electroactive polyaryltriazine-derived frameworks with graphene. All these features make it possible to efficiently depress the dissolution of redox moieties in electrolytes and to boost the electrical conductivity of whole electrode. When employed as a cathode in LIBs, the two-dimensional porous nanosheets exhibit outstanding cycle stability of 395 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1 for more than 5100 cycles and excellent rate capability of 135 mAh g−1 at a high current density of 15 A g−1.
