Electrochemical energy storage devices are ubiquitous for personal electronics, electric vehicles, smart grids, and future clean energy demand. SCs are EES devices with excellent power density and superior cycling ability. Herein, we focused on the fabrication and DFT calculations of Na₃-δ-MnO₂ nanocomposite, which has layered MnO₂ redox-active sites, supported on carbon cloth. MnO₂ has two-dimensional diffusion channels and is not labile to structural changes during intercalation; therefore, it is considered the best substrate for intercalation. Cation pre-intercalation has proven to be an effective way of increasing inter-layered spacing, optimizing the crystal structure, and improving the relevant electrochemical behavior of asymmetric aqueous supercapacitors. We successfully established Na⁺ pre-intercalated δ-MnO₂ nanosheets on carbon cloth via one-pot hydrothermal synthesis. As a cathode, our prepared material exhibited an extended potential window of 0–1.4 V with a remarkable specific capacitance of 546 F g⁻¹(300 F g⁻¹ at 50 A g⁻¹). Moreover, when this cathode was accompanied by an N-AC anode in an asymmetric aqueous supercapacitor, it illustrated exceptional performance (64 Wh kg⁻¹ at a power density of 1225 W kg⁻¹) and incomparable potential window of 2.4 V and 83% capacitance retention over 10,000 cycles with a great Columbic efficiency.

It is well-known that racemic molecules are elliptically inactive. Herein, we found novel racemic multilayer polymers and oligomers that are generated from catalytic polymerization can asymmetrically rotate the plane-polarized circular light to the right-handed direction in THF-H2O cosolvents. The specific rotation depends on the water ratios (fw) of co-solvents and UV-vis radiation time inside polarimeter. The aggregation of polymers and oligomers was proven via AIE (aggregation-induced emission) appeared as they dissolved in THF-H2O co-solvents, which would be responsible for this abnormal phenomenon. This discovery is anticipated to lead to a new research topic in chemical, medical, and materials sciences, and provide an alternative clue to the origin of life on earth in the future.
