Carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs), which hold a transformative potential across fields from aerospace to wearable electronics, have been reported as superstrong fibers, while the fabrication of continuous fibers with excellent strength remains a challenge. Herein, we proposed a mixed carbon-source strategy that engineered carbon nanotube (CNT) aerogels with optimally aligned and controlled-entanglement CNT bundles, ensuring structural uniformity and enabling densification into highly oriented architectures via chlorosulfonic acid-assisted stretching, thus yielding continuous high-performance CNTFs. These continuous CNTFs exhibited superior tensile strength (4.10 ± 0.17 N·tex⁻¹, exceeding T1100), modulus (268 ± 16 N·tex⁻¹, 1.4 times of T1100), thermal conductivity (400 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹, over 30 times of T1100) and electrical conductivity (1480 S·m²·kg⁻¹), along with exceptional flexibility indicated by knot-strength retention exceeding 45%. Comprehensive multi-point assessments confirmed that this method yielded a remarkable uniformity in both structural and functional properties across kilometer-scale lengths. These findings highlight the crucial role of nanotube alignment and interfacial engineering in enabling the scalable industrial implementation of high-performance CNTFs.

High-temperature carbonized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derivatives have demonstrated their superiority for promising electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers, but they still suffer from limited EMW absorption capacity and narrow bandwidth. Considering the advantage of microstructure and chemical composition regulation for the design of EMW absorber, hierarchical heterostructured MoS₂/CoS₂-Co₃O₄@cabonized cotton fabric (CF) (MCC@CCF) is prepared by growing ZIF-67 MOFs onto CF surface, chemical etching, and carbonization. Aside from the dual loss mechanism of magnetic-dielectric multicomponent carbonized MOFs, chemical etching and carbonization process can effectively introduce abundant micro-gap structure that can result in better impedance matching and stronger absorption capacity via internal reflection, doped heteroatoms (Mo, N, S) to supply additional dipolar polarization loss, and numerous heterointerfaces among MoS₂, CoS₂, Co₃O₄, and CCF that produce promoted conduction loss and interfacial polarization loss. Thus, a minimal reflection loss of −52.87 dB and a broadest effective absorption bandwidth of 6.88 GHz were achieved via tunning the sample thickness and filler loading, showing excellent EMW absorption performances. This research is of great value for guiding the research on MOFs derivatives based EMW absorbing materials.

The search for wearable electronics has been attracted great efforts, and there is an ever-growing demand for all-solid-state flexible energy storage devices. However, it is a challenge to obtain both positive and negative electrodes with excellent mechanical strength and match positive and negative charges to achieve high energy densities and operate voltages to satisfy practical application requirements. Here, flexible MXene (Ti₃C₂T_x)/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) composite film negative electrodes (MCNF) were fabricated with a vacuum filtration method, as well as positive electrodes (CP) by combining polyaniline (PANI) with carbon cloth (CC) using an in-situ polymerization method. Both positive and negative free-standing electrodes exhibited excellent electrochemical behavior and bendable/foldable flexibility. As a result, the all-pseudocapacitance asymmetric device of MCNF//CP assembled with charge-matched between anode and cathode achieves an extended voltage window of 1.5 V, high energy density of 30.6 Wh·kg⁻¹ (1211 W·kg⁻¹), and 86% capacitance retention after 5000 cycles, and the device maintains excellent bendability, simultaneously. This work will pave the way for the development of all-pseudocapacitive asymmetric supercapacitors (ASC) with simultaneously preeminent mechanical properties, high energy density, and wide operating voltage window.
