Developing carbon scaffolds showing rational pore structures as cathode hosts is essential for achieving superior electrochemical performances of lithium-selenium (Li-Se) batteries. Hierarchically porous N-doped carbon polyhedrons anchored on crumpled graphene balls (NPC/CGBs) are synthesized by carbonizing a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)/CGB composite precursor, producing an unprecedented effective host matrix for high-performance Li-Se batteries. Mesoporous CGBs obtained by one-pot spray pyrolysis are used as a highly conductive matrix for uniform polyhedral ZIF-8 growth. During carbonization, ZIF-8 polyhedrons on mesoporous CGBs are converted into N-doped carbon polyhedrons showing abundant micropores, forming a high-surface-area, high-pore-volume hierarchically porous NPC/CGB composite whose small unique pores effectively confine Se during melt diffusion, thereby providing conductive electron pathways. Thus, the integrated NPC/CGB-Se composite ensures high Se utilization originating from complete electrochemical reactions between Se and Li ions. The NPC/CGB-Se composite cathode exhibits high discharge capacities (998 and 462 mA h g-1 at the 1st and 1000th cycles, respectively, at a 0.5 C current density), good capacity retention (68%, calculated from the 3rd cycle), and excellent rate capability. A discharge capacity of 409 mA h g-1 is achieved even at an extremely high (15.0 C) current density.

We present a unique three-dimensional palladium (Pd)-decorated crumpled reduced graphene oxide ball (Pd-CGB) nanocomposite for hydrogen (H2) detection in air at room temperature. Pd-CGB nanocomposites were synthesized using a rapid continuous flame aerosol technique. Graphene oxide reduction and metal decoration occurred simultaneously in a high-temperature reducing jet (HTRJ) process to produce Pd nanoparticles that were below 5 nm in average size and uniformly dispersed in the crumpled graphene structure. The sensors made from these nanocomposites were sensitive over a wide range of H2 concentrations (0.0025-2%) with response value, response time, and recovery time of 14.8%, 73 s, and 126 s, respectively, at 2% H2. Moreover, they were sensitive to H2 in both dry and humid conditions. The sensors were stable and recoverable after 20 cycles at 2% H2 with no degradation associated with volume expansion of Pd. Unlike two-step methods for fabricating Pd-decorated graphene sensors, the HTRJ process enables single-step formation of Pd- and other metal-decorated graphene nanocomposites with great potential for creating various gas sensors by simple drop-casting onto low-cost electrodes.
