The growing demand for efficient energy storage devices holding high specific energy has accelerated the search for advanced electrode materials. Transition metal-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs), particularly those containing nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co), have emerged as promising candidates due to their tunable layered structure and chemical composition. In this study, LDH and its hybrids were prepared using a simple hydrothermal technique. In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements approve the presence of H 2 O molecules and carbonate anions in the interlamellar space due to their extended interlayer spacing. The quaternary NiCo LDH/manganese dioxide (MnO₂)/polypyrrole (PPy)/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) hybrid nanocomposite exhibits a specific capacitance of 2389 F/g at 1 A/g, with 88 % retention after 5000 cycles at a higher current density of 10 A/g. The superior electrochemical performance is accredited to reduced aggregation and enhanced electronic conductivity. Charge storage kinetics were analysed using Dunn's method and power law, reveals increased diffusive contribution in the quaternary nanocomposite. A hybrid supercapacitor device was fabricated using quaternary hybrid as cathode and activated carbon (AC) as anode delivers a high specific capacitance of 260 F/g at 1 A/g, with 95 % cyclic stability after 10,000 cycles. The assembled device achieves a specific energy of 82 Wh/kg at a specific power of 750 W/kg and a coulombic efficiency of 99 %, demonstrating excellent potential for energy storage applications.

In this study, we synthesized an amidoximated polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membrane (P-Oxime). Subsequently, we grafted reactive green 19 (RG19) dye onto its surface, resulting in the formation of the P-Oxime-RG19 membrane. Further enhancement was achieved by physically attaching poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) to the P-Oxime-RG19 membrane, leading to the formation of the P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB membrane. Extensive characterization of the nanofiber membranes was conducted, focusing on crucial physical and mechanical properties such as functional group content, morphology, and thermostability. The optimization of various modification conditions, including initial dye and PHMB concentrations, duration, temperature, and nitrile group conversion to oxime concentrations, played a pivotal role in achieving superior antibacterial performance in P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB nanofiber membranes. In-depth analyses involved the application of kinetic and equilibrium thermodynamic models to unravel the modification processes of RG19 dye and PHMB in the nanofiber membranes. Under the carefully tuned optimal modification conditions, the P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB nanofiber membrane exhibited remarkable antibacterial efficacy, achieving nearly 100% disinfection of E. coli . In addition to exploring its antimicrobial capabilities, we thoroughly examined the repeatability and biocompatibility of the nanofiber membranes. The results indicated not only the P-Oxime-RG19-PHMB nanofiber membrane was a highly promising antibacterial material but also highlighted its potential for diverse applications, particularly in food and textile fabrication, owing to its exceptional performance and suitability.
