Abstract Cost‐effective, non‐fluorinated polymer proton exchange membranes (PEMs) are highly desirable in emerging hydrogen fuel cells (FCs) technology; however, their low conductivities and poor chemical dimension stabilities hinder further development as alternatives to commercial Nafion®. Here, we report the inorganic‐organic hybridization strategy by facilely complexing polymers, polyvinyl butyral (PVB), with inorganic molecular nanoparticles, H 3 PW 12 O 40 (PW) via supramolecular interaction. The strong affinity among them endows obtained nanocomposites amphiphilicity lead phase separation for bi‐continuous structures both inter‐connected transportation channels robust scaffold, enabling high conductivities, mechanical/dimension stability barrier performance, 2 /O FCs equipped composite PEM show promising power densities long‐term stability. Interestingly, hybrid can be fabricated continuously large scale at challenging ~10 μm thickness typical tape casting technique originated from facile hybrids’ excellent mechanical properties. This work not only provides potential material systems PEMs, but also raises interest research on composites PEMs.

The application of traditional electrode materials for high-performance capacitive deionization (CDI) has been persistently limited by their low charge-storage capacities, excessive co-ion expulsion and slow salt removal rates. Here we report a bottom-up approach to the preparation two-dimensional (2D) Ti3 C2 Tx MXene-polydopamine heterostructure having ordered in-plane mesochannels (denoted as mPDA/MXene). Interfacial self-assembly mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) monolayers on MXene nanosheets leads mPDA/MXene heterostructure, which exhibits several unique features: (1) undergoes reversible ion intercalation/deintercalation possesses high conductivity; (2) mPDA layers establish redox characteristics Na+ selectivity, also help prevent self-stacking oxidation MXene; (3) enable smooth transport ions at internal spaces this stacked 2D material. When applied an material CDI, exhibit top-level CDI performance cycling stability compared those so far reported materials. Our study opens avenue rational construction MXene-organic hybrid heterostructures, further motivates development

However, during testing in a two‐electrode system high complexity have become big barrier commercial applications. Thus, herein, simplify research, typical Fe–N–C material with relatively simple constitution structure, selected as model catalyst TM–H–C explore improve such kind Then, different types active sites (centers) coordination systematically summarized discussed, possible attenuation mechanism strategies analyzed. Finally, some challenges faced prospects proposed shed light on future development trend advanced catalysis.
