Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C$_3$N$_4$) has garnered interest as a versatile photocatalytic platform owing to its tailorable electronic architecture; however, its solar-to-chemical conversion is bottlenecked by high exciton binding energies and slow charge-carrier transport. To circumvent these impediments, the construction of ``molecular junctions'' within the conjugated polymeric scaffold enables atomically precise modulation of spatial electron configurations. Unlike conventional heterostructures relying on physical contact, molecular junctions employ robust covalent bridging, facilitating molecular orbital hybridization and $\pi$-conjugation.

The growing demand for high-performance energy storage, particularly in electric vehicles and grid applications, has highlighted the limitations of conventional lithium-ion battery manufacturing. Traditional wet-processing electrode fabrication, though widely used, faces challenges such as solvent waste, limited scalability, and inconsistent microstructures. Dry electrode technology (DET) offers a promising alternative by eliminating solvents and drying steps, enhancing sustainability, cost-efficiency, and performance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of DET, emphasizing key microstructural advantages including uniform material distribution, low ion-transport tortuosity, and sup... More >

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems, owing to the high safety, low cost, high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g\(^{-1}\)), and environmental compatibility. However, the practical implementation of zinc metal anodes still faces challenges such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and corrosion, which significantly restrict the cycling life and practical usability. To address these issues, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tunable pore structures and ultrahigh specific surface areas have been widely employed for protecting zinc anodes. Therefore, this review systematically summarizes the... More >
