Stabilizing the cycling stability of rechargeable lithium metal batteries with tris(hexafluoroisopropyl)phosphate additive. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2022; 67:725-732. [PMID: 36546137 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2022.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 12/31/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
The application of rechargeable lithium metal batteries (LMBs) has been hindered by the fast growth of lithium dendrites during charge and the limited cycling life because of the decomposition of the electrolyte at the interface. Here, we have developed a non-flammable triethyl phosphate (TEP)-based electrolyte with tris(hexafluoroisopropyl)phosphate (THFP) as an additive. The polar nature of the C-F bonding and the rich CF3 groups in THFP lowers its LUMO energy and HOMO energy to help form a stable, LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer through the reduction of THFP and increases the binding ability of the PF6- anions, which significantly suppresses lithium dendrite growth and reduces the electrolyte decomposition. Moreover, THFP participates in the formation of a thin, C-F rich electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer to provide the stable cycling of the cathode at a high voltage. The symmetric Li||Li and full Li/NCM622 cells with THFP additive have small polarization and long cycling life, which demonstrates the importance of the additive to the application of the LMBs.

Abstract
In recent years, micrometer-sized Si-based anode materials have attracted intensive attention in the pursuit of energy-storage systems with high energy and low cost. However, the significant volume variation during repeated electrochemical (de)alloying processes will seriously damage the bulk structure of SiOx microparticles, resulting in rapid performance fade. This work proposes to address the challenge by preparing in situ magnesium-doped SiOx (SiMgy Ox ) microparticles with stable structural evolution against Li uptake/release. The homogeneous distribution of magnesium silicate in SiMgy Ox contributes to building a bonding network inside the particle so that it raises the modulus of lithiated state and restrains the internal cracks due to electrochemical agglomeration of nano-Si. The prepared micrometer-sized SiMgy Ox anode shows high reversible capacities, stable cycling performance, and low electrode expansion at high areal mass loading. A 21700 cylindrical-type cell based on the SiMgy Ox -graphite anode and LiNi0.8 Co0.15 Al0.05 O2 cathode demonstrates a 1000-cycle operation life using industry-recognized electrochemical test procedures, which meets the practical storage requirements for consumer electronics and electric vehicles. This work provides insights on the reasonable structural design of micrometer-sized alloying anode materials toward realization of high-performance Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Various electrode materials are considered for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and one important prerequisite for developments of SIBs is a detailed understanding about charge storage mechanisms. Herein, we present a rigorous study about Na storage properties of ultra-small Fe3S4 nanoparticles, synthesized applying a solvothermal route, which exhibit a very good electrochemical performance as anode material for SIBs. A closer look into electrochemical reaction pathways on the nanoscale, utilizing synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption techniques, reveals a complicated conversion mechanism. Initially, separation of Fe3S4 into nanocrystalline intermediates occurs accompanied by reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ cations. Discharge to 0.1 V leads to formation of strongly disordered Fe0 finely dispersed in a nanosized Na2S matrix. The resulting volume expansion leads to a worse long-term stability in the voltage range 3.0-0.1 V. Adjusting the lower cut-off potential to 0.5 V, crystallization of Na2S is prevented and a completely amorphous intermediate stage is formed. Thus, the smaller voltage window is favorable for long-term stability, yielding highly reversible capacity retention, e.g., 486 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles applying 0.5 A g-1 and superior coulombic efficiencies >99.9%. During charge to 3.0 V, Fe3S4 with smaller domains are reversibly generated in the 1st cycle, but further cycling results in loss of structural long-range order, whereas the local environment resembles that of Fe3S4 in subsequent charged states. Electrokinetic analyses reveal high capacitive contributions to the charge storage, indicating shortened diffusion lengths and thus, redox reactions occur predominantly at surfaces of nanosized conversion products.

Abstract
Spontaneous self-assembly is one of the available synthetic routes to achieve structurally versatile and unique crystal complexes with selected metal-ligand combinations in the spirit of pseudohalides. In this endeavour, we designed a novel 1D coordination polymer (CP), [(Cd)(Pb)(L)(η1-NCS)(η1-SCN)] n (1), using a compartmental Salen ligand (H3L) in the presence of NaSCN. The characterization of the CP was accomplished using several spectroscopic techniques: MALDI-TOF, PXRD, SEM, EDX mapping, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The CP crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. SCXRD reveals Cd(ii) and Pb(ii) metal ions fulfilled distorted square pyramidal and hemi-directed coordination spheres. Cd(ii) is placed in the inner N2O2 and heavier Pb(ii) in the outer O4 compartments of the de-protonated form of the ligand [L]2-. Supramolecular interactions in the intricate crystal structure produced attractive molecular architectures of the compound. The flexible aliphatic -OH pendent group coordinates with the Pb(ii) ions. This unique binding further elevates the supramolecular crystal topographies. The supramolecular interactions were authenticated by Hirshfeld surface analysis (HSA). The observation of the recurring unconventional tetrel bonds was rationalized by DFT calculations and surface plots of molecular electrostatic potential (MEP). In the 1D polymeric chain in the complex, the O-atom of the -OH groups shows a tetrel bonding interaction with the Pb atom. We have found that the combination of QTAIM/NCI and QTAIM/ELF plots helps reveal the nature of these contacts. Moreover, the QTAIM/ELF plot determines the donor-acceptor interaction between the O-atom and the Pb atom, establishing the σ-hole. Agreeably, the σ-hole interaction also helps Pb(ii) serve as a Lewis acid in the complex. Finally, spodium and tetrel bonds are formed, possible thanks to a hemi-directional coordination sphere of the Pb atoms in the polymer described.

Abstract
Metal chalcogenides (MCs) have received widespread attentions in potassium ion storage, due to their high theoretical specific capacity and low cost. However, practical applications are still a challenge because of the slow diffusion rate and large ionic radius, leading to dramatic volume expansion and slow rate performance. Herein, we introduce a simple and large scale solvothermal method to synthesize high-quality two-dimensional (2D) layered CuSbS2 nanosheets with a thickness of about 5 nm. The thin 2D layered structure has a weak van der Waals gap and a large exposed surface area to contact the electrolyte and promotes rapid K+ diffusion kinetics. In addition, the in-situ copper exsolution during potassiation process enhances the rate capability of K+ storage. CuSbS2 half cells exhibited excellent rate performance, delivering specific capacities of 573, 505, 476, 230, 177 mAh g-1 at current densities of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 A g-1, respectively. The unique K+ electrochemical storage mechanism and resistance change during reaction process was revealed in detail by operando XRD, XPS and TEM. Finally, potassium ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) with CuSbS2 nanosheets as anode and AC as cathode demonstrated excellent performances with the maximum energy density of 127 W h kg-1 and the power density of 2415 W kg-1, providing an example of rationally design a high rate battery-type PIHC anode.

Abstract
Small molecule organic acids as electrode materials possess the advantages of high theoretical capacity, low cost, and good processability. However, these electrode materials suffer from poor cycling stability due to the inevitable dissolution of organic molecules in the electrolytes. Here, a eutectic mixture of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and N-methylamine is employed as a eutectic electrolyte in Li-ion batteries with small molecule organic acids as electrodes. To enhance the cycling stability of the electrolyte, fluoroethylene carbonate is used as an additive. The electrolyte exhibits nonflammability, high ionic conductivity, and good electrochemical stability. Molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory are performed to further investigate the solvation chemistry of the eutectic electrolyte. The well-designed eutectic electrolyte inhibits the dissolution of terephthalic acid effectively and displays superior performance with a capacity retention of ≈84% after 2000 cycles at a high current density of 1 A g-1 . It also enables stable cycling of more than 900 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g-1 at 60 °C. This study provides a strategy to enhance the cycling stability and safety of Li-ion batteries with organic electrode materials.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS The synthetic strategies and fundamental mechanisms of various asymmetric carbon- and silica-based nanomaterials were systematically summarized. The advantages of asymmetric structure on their related applications were clarified by some representative applications of asymmetric carbon- and silica-based nanomaterials. The future development prospects and challenges of asymmetric carbon- and silica-based nanomaterials were proposed. ABSTRACT Carbon- and silica-based nanomaterials possess a set of merits including large surface area, good structural stability, diversified morphology, adjustable structure, and biocompatibility. These outstanding features make them widely applied in different fields. However, limited by the surface free energy effect, the current studies mainly focus on the symmetric structures, such as nanospheres, nanoflowers, nanowires, nanosheets, and core–shell structured composites. By comparison, the asymmetric structure with ingenious adjustability not only exhibits a larger effective surface area accompanied with more active sites, but also enables each component to work independently or corporately to harness their own merits, thus showing the unusual performances in some specific applications. The current review mainly focuses on the recent progress of design principles and synthesis methods of asymmetric carbon- and silica-based nanomaterials, and their applications in energy storage, catalysis, and biomedicine. Particularly, we provide some deep insights into their unique advantages in related fields from the perspective of materials’ structure–performance relationship. Furthermore, the challenges and development prospects on the synthesis and applications of asymmetric carbon- and silica-based nanomaterials are also presented and highlighted. [Image: see text]

Abstract
The investigation of novel growth mechanisms for electrodes and the understanding of their in situ energy storage mechanisms remains major challenges in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Herein, a novel mechanism for the growth of high-purity diversified Li3 VO4 nanostructures (including hollow nanospheres, uniform nanoflowers, dispersed hollow nanocubes, and ultrafine nanowires) has been developed via a microwave irradiation strategy. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and in situ transmission electron microscope observations are applied to gain deep insight into the intermediate Li3+ x VO4 and Li3+ y VO4 phases during the lithiation/delithiation mechanism. The first-principle calculations show that lithium ions migrate into the nanosphere wall rapidly along the (100) plane. Furthermore, the Li3 VO4 hollow nanospheres deliver an outstanding reversible capacity (299.6 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles) and excellent cycling stability (a capacity retention of 99.0% after 500 cycles) at 200 mA g-1 . The unique nanostructure offers a high specific surface area and short diffusion path, leading to fast thermal/kinetic reaction behavior, and preventing undesirable volume expansion during long-term cycling.

Abstract
The ever-growing market of electric vehicles and the upcoming grid-scale storage systems have stimulated the fast growth of renewable energy storage technologies. Aluminum-based batteries are considered one of the most promising alternatives to complement or possibly replace the current lithium-ion batteries owing to their high specific capacity, good safety, low cost, light weight, and abundant reserves of Al. However, the anode problems in primary and secondary Al batteries, such as, self-corrosion, passive film, and volume expansion, severely limit the batteries' practical performance, thus hindering their commercialization. Herein, an overview of the currently emerged Al-based batteries is provided, that primarily focus on the recent research progress for Al anodes in both primary and rechargeable systems. The anode reaction mechanisms and problems in various Al-based batteries are discussed, and various strategies to overcome the challenges of Al anodes, including surface oxidation, self-corrosion, volume expansion, and dendrite growth, are systematically summarized. Finally, future research perspectives toward advanced Al batteries with higher performance and better safety are presented.

Abstract
A strategy of lattice-reversible binary intermetallic compounds of metallic elements is proposed for applications in flexible lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode with high capacity and cycling stability. First, the use of metallic elements can ensure excellent electronic conductivity and high capacity of the active anode substance. Second, binary intermetallic compounds possess a larger initial lattice volume than metallic monomers, so that the problem of volume expansion can be alleviated. Finally, the design of binary intermetallic compounds with lattice reversibility further improves the cycle stability. In this work, the feasibility of this strategy is verified using an indium antimonide (InSb) system. The volumetric expansion and lithium storage mechanism of InSb are investigated by in situ Raman characterization and theoretical calculations. The active material utilization is significantly improved and the growth of In whiskers is inhibited in the micron-sized ball-milled and carbon coated InSb (bInSb@C) anode, which exhibits a reversible capacity of 733.8 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C, and provides a capacity of 411.5 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 3 C with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.95%. This strategy is validated in pouch cells, illustrating the great potential of lattice-reversible binary intermetallic compounds for use as commercial flexible LIB anodes.

Abstract
Silicon, which has been widely studied by virtue of its extremely high theoretical capacity and abundance, is recognized as one of the most promising anode materials for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon undergoes tremendous volume change during cycling, which leads to the destruction of the electrode structure and irreversible capacity loss, so the promotion of silicon materials in commercial applications is greatly hampered. In recent years, many strategies have been proposed to address these shortcomings of silicon. This Review focused on different coatings materials (e. g., carbon-based materials, metals, oxides, conducting polymers, etc.) for silicon materials. The role of different types of materials in the modification of silicon-based material encapsulation structure was reviewed to confirm the feasibility of the protective layer strategy. Finally, the future research direction of the silicon-based material coating structure design for the next-generation lithium-ion battery was summarized.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) containing materials cannot be used in commercial lithium ion batteries due to the mechanical stress problem triggered by volume expansion during cycling. The high-volume change causes mechanical instability of Si anode materials during charging/discharging, resulting fast capacity fading. It is thought that piezoelectric materials can be a solution for the volume expansion problem because of their ability to generate electric field when pressure is applied on them. For this purpose, PZT-8 and PZT-5H type piezoelectric materials were mixed with silicon and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) to obtain anode composites and tested electrochemically versus lithium metal. The piezoelectiric effect on the electrochemical activity of these anodes is investigated by preparing the anode composite without any piezoelectric material additive (Sample #3). At the end of the 50 charge/discharge cycles, the capacities reached 420 mAh/g, 300 mAh/g and 100 mAh/g for PZT-8-added, PZT-5H-added and no-PZT samples, respectively. These results showed that PZT addition improves capacity performance of Si-MWCNT anodes. Additionally, the obtained anode composites were characterized with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract
Attempts to utilize lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale electrochemical energy storage systems have achieved initial success, and solid-state LIBs using metallic lithium as the anode have also been well developed. However, the sharply increased demands/costs and the limited reserves of the two most important metal elements (Li & Co) for LIBs have raised concerns about future development. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) equipped with advanced cobalt-free cathodes show great potential in solving both "lithium panic" and "cobalt panic", and have made remarkable progress in recent years. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances of high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials for advanced SIBs, systematically analyze the conflicts of structural/electrochemical stability with intrinsic insufficiencies of cobalt-free cathode materials, and extensively discuss the strategies of constructing stable cobalt-free cathode materials by making full use of non-cobalt transition-metal elements and suitable crystal structures, all of which aim to provide insights into the key factors (e.g., phase transformation, particle cracks, crystal defects, lattice distortion, lattice oxygen oxidation, morphology, transition-metal migration/dissolution, and the synergistic effects of composite structures) that can determine the stability of cobalt-free cathode materials, provide guidelines for future research, and stimulate more interest on constructing high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries provide crucial energy storage systems for renewable energy sources, as well as consumer electronics and electrical vehicles. There are a number of important parameters that determine the suitability of electrode materials for battery applications, such as the average voltage and the maximum specific capacity which contribute to the overall energy density. Another important performance criterion for battery electrode materials is their volume change upon charging and discharging, which contributes to determine the cyclability, Coulombic efficiency, and safety of a battery. In this work, we present deep neural network regression machine learning models (ML), trained on data obtained from the Materials Project database, for predicting average voltages and volume change upon charging and discharging of electrode materials for metal-ion batteries. Our models exhibit good performance as measured by the average mean absolute error obtained from a 10-fold cross-validation, as well as on independent test sets. We further assess the robustness of our ML models by investigating their screening potential beyond the training database. We produce Na-ion electrodes by systematically replacing Li-ions in the original database by Na-ions and, then, selecting a set of 22 electrodes that exhibit a good performance in energy density, as well as small volume variations upon charging and discharging, as predicted by the machine learning model. The ML predictions for these materials are then compared to quantum-mechanics based calculations. Our results reaffirm the significant role of machine learning techniques in the exploration of materials for battery applications.

Abstract
The pseudo-layered sulfide NiCr2 S4 exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance as anode material in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The Na storage mechanism is investigated by synchrotron-based X-ray scattering and absorption techniques as well as by electrochemical measurements. A very high reversible capacity in the 500th cycle of 489 mAh g-1 is observed at 2.0 A g-1 in the potential window 3.0-0.1 V. Full discharge includes irreversible generation of Ni0 and Cr0 nanoparticles embedded in nanocrystalline Na2 S yielding shortened diffusion lengths and predominantly surface-controlled charge storage. During charge, Ni0 and Cr0 are oxidized, Na2 S is consumed, and amorphous Ni and Cr sulfides are formed. Limiting the potential window to 3.0-0.3 V an unusual nickel extrusion sodium insertion mechanism occurs: Ni2+ is reduced to nanosized Ni0 domains, expelled from the host lattice, and is replaced by Na+ cations to form O3-type like NaCrS2 . Surprisingly, the discharge and charge processes comprise Na+ shuttling between highly crystalline NiCr2 S4 and NaCrS2 enabling a superior long-term stability for 3000 cycles. The results not only provide valuable insights for the electrochemistry of conversion materials but also extend the scope of layered electrode materials considering the reversible nickel extrusion sodium insertion reaction as new concept for SIBs.

Abstract
Germanium-based materials attract more interest as anodes for lithium-ion batteries, stemming from their physical and chemical advantages. However, these materials inevitably undergo capacity attenuation caused by significant volumetric variation in repeated electrochemical processes. Herein, we designed 3D porous Ge/N-doped carbon nanocomposites by the encapsulation of 3D porous Ge in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (denoted as 3D porous Ge/NC). The 3D porous structure can accommodate the volume change during alloying/dealloying processes and improve the penetration of the electrolyte. Furthermore, the doping of N in the carbon framework could introduce more defects and active sites, which can also contribute to electron transportation and lithium-ion diffusion. The half-cell test found that at a current density of 1 C (1 C = 1600 mA h g-1), the specific capacity stabilized at 917.9 mA h g-1 after 800 cycles; and the specific capacity remained at 542.4 mA h g-1 at 10 C. When assembled into a 3D porous Ge/NC//LiFePO4 full cell, the specific capacity was stabilized at 101.3 mA h g-1 for 100 cycles at a current density of 1 C (1 C = 170 mA h g-1), and the cycle specific capacity was maintained at 72.6 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 5 C. This work develops a low-cost, scalable and simple strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of these alloying type anode materials with huge volume change in the energy storage area.

Abstract
The rational design of hierarchical hollow nanomaterials is of critical significance in energy storage materials. Herein, dual-wall hollow nanospheres (DWHNS) Sn/MoS2@C are constructed by in situ confined growth and interface engineering. The inner hollow spheres of Sn/MoS2 are formed by atomic soldering MoS2 nanosheets with liquid Sn at high temperature. The formation mechanism of the hierarchical structure is explored by the morphology evolutions at different temperatures. The DWHNS Sn/MoS2@C manifest abundant inner space and high specific surface area, which provides more support sites for Li+/Na+/K+ storage and alleviates the volume effect of tin-based electrode materials to a certain extent. The composite material manifests an outstanding specific capacity and satisfactory reversibility of lithium ion batteries (∼931 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 500 cycles), sodium ion batteries (∼432 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 400 cycles), and potassium ion batteries (∼226 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 300 cycles). Additionally, the morphology evolution and mechanism analysis of DWHNS Sn/MoS2@C in alkali metal ion batteries are verified by ex situ measurement, which confirms the three-in-one hybrid storage mechanism, i.e., intercalation reaction of carbon shells, conversion reaction of MoS2, and alloying reaction of tin.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of transition metal oxides (TMOs) for hybrid supercapacitors has been optimized through various methods in previous reports. However, most previous research was mainly focused on well-crystalline TMOs. Herein, the electrochemical lithiation–delithiation method was performed to synthesise low-crystallinity TMOs for hybrid supercapacitors. It was found that the lithiation–delithiation process can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of “conversion-type” TMOs, such as CoO, NiO, etc. The as-prepared low-crystallinity CoO exhibits high specific capacitance of 2154.1 F g−1 (299.2 mA h g−1) at 0.8 A g−1, outstanding rate capacitance retention of 63.9% even at 22.4 A g−1 and excellent cycling stability with 90.5% retention even after 10 000 cycles. When assembled as hybrid supercapacitors using active carbon (AC) as the active material of the negative electrode, the devices show a high energy density of 50.9 W h kg−1 at 0.73 kW kg−1. Another low-crystallinity NiO prepared by the same method also possesses a much higher specific capacitance of 2317.6 F g−1 (302.6 mA h g−1) compared to that for pristine commercial NiO of 497.2 F g−1 at 1 A g−1. The improved energy storage performance of the low-crystallinity metal oxides can be ascribed to the disorder of as-prepared low-crystallinity metal oxides and interior 3D-connected channels originating from the lithiation–delithiation process. This method may open new opportunities for scalable and facile synthesis of low-crystallinity metal oxides for high-performance hybrid supercapacitors. The electrochemical performance of transition metal oxides (TMOs) for hybrid supercapacitors has been optimized through various methods in previous reports.![]()

Abstract
Understanding the complicated interplay of the continuously evolving electrode materials in their inherent 3D states during the battery operating condition is of great importance for advancing rechargeable battery research. In this regard, the synchrotron X-ray tomography technique, which enables non-destructive, multi-scale, and 3D imaging of a variety of electrode components before/during/after battery operation, becomes an essential tool to deepen this understanding. The past few years have witnessed an increasingly growing interest in applying this technique in battery research. Hence, it is time to not only summarize the already obtained battery-related knowledge by using this technique, but also to present a fundamental elucidation of this technique to boost future studies in battery research. To this end, this review firstly introduces the fundamental principles and experimental setups of the synchrotron X-ray tomography technique. After that, a user guide to its application in battery research and examples of its applications in research of various types of batteries are presented. The current review ends with a discussion of the future opportunities of this technique for next-generation rechargeable batteries research. It is expected that this review can enhance the reader's understanding of the synchrotron X-ray tomography technique and stimulate new ideas and opportunities in battery research.

Abstract
Elaborate nanoarchitectured solid/liquid interface design of felt electrodes is arguably the most effective pathway to promote the pore-level transport-reaction processes of redox flow batteries. Herein, we conceive a new type of nanocatalytic-layer-architectured graphite felt via introducing the vertically standing carbon nanosheet-confined Bi nanodots onto carbon fiber surfaces. The vertically standing carbon nanosheets construct a nanoporous layer with straight channels for vanadium ion shuttling, where highly dispersed Bi nanodots are stiffly confined to afford abundant active sites. The vanadium redox flow battery utilizing the rationally designed electrodes achieves an energy efficiency of 89% at 150 mA cm-2, which is substantially higher than those of raw felt (61%) and oxidized felt (77%). Also, the battery with the present electrode maintains an energy efficiency of over 73% even at 400 mA cm-2, showing the excellent capability of withstanding fast charging and discharging. The multiphysics simulation shows that the vertically standing architecture optimizes the vanadium ion accessibility to the solid/liquid interfaces and thus maximizes the catalytic activity. Moreover, the battery can sustain more than 1000 cycles without obvious efficiency decay, confirming the superb stability of the present electrode. These encouraging results indicate that engineering vertically standing structures with tailored compositions may open up new avenues for advancing the flow battery technology.

Abstract
Integrating the battery behavior and supercapacitor behavior in a single electrode to obtain better electrochemical performance has been widely researched. However, there is still a lack of research studies on an integrated battery-capacitor supercapacitor electrode (BatCap electrode). In this work, an integrated BatCap electrode porous carbon-coated Mn-Ni-layered double oxide (Mn-Ni LDO-C) was fabricated successfully using controllable heat treatment of polypyrrole-precoated Mn-Ni-layered double hydroxide (Mn-Ni LDH@PPy). This Mn-Ni LDO-C electrode was grown on Ni foam directly and possessed a hierarchical structure that consisted of a pyridinic N (N-6)-doped porous carbon shell and a Mn-Ni LDO core within abundant oxygen vacancies. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of N-6-doped porous carbon and increased oxygen vacancies, Mn-Ni LDO-C exhibited excellent electrochemical performance. The capacity of Mn-Ni LDO-C reached 2.36 C cm-2 (1478.1 C g-1) at 1 mA cm-2 and remained at 92.1% of the initial capacity after 5000 cycles at a current density of 20 mA cm-2. The aqueous battery-supercapacitor hybrid device Mn-Ni LDO-C//active carbon (Mn-Ni LDO-C//AC) also presented superior cycle stability: it retained 85.3% of the original capacity after 5000 cycles at 2 A g-1. Meanwhile, Mn-Ni LDO-C//AC could work normally under a wider potential window (2.0 V), so that the device held the highest energy density of 78.2 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 499.7 W kg-1 and retained 39.1 Wh kg-1 at the highest power density of 31.3 kW kg-1. Two Mn-Ni LDO-C//AC devices connected in series could light a light-emitting diode (LED) bulb easily and keep the LED brightly illuminated for more than 10 min. In general, this work synthesized an integrated BatCap electrode Mn-Ni LDO-C; the integrated electrode exhibited high electrochemical performance, thus has a promising application prospect in the field of energy storage.

Abstract
Wadsley-Roth crystallographic shear structure niobium-based oxides are of great interest in fast Li+ storage due to their unique 3D open tunnel structures that offer facile Li+ diffusion paths. Their moderate lithiation potential and reversible redox couples hold the great promise in the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that are characterized by high power density, long lifespan, and high safety. Despite these outstanding merits, there is still extensive advancement space for further enhancing their electrochemical kinetics. And the industrial feasibility of Wadsley-Roth crystallographic shear structure niobium-based oxides as anode materials for LIBs requires more systematic research. In this review, recent progress in this field is summarized with the aim of realizing the practical applications of Wadsley-Roth phase anode materials in commercial LIBs. The review focuses on research toward the crystalline structure analyses, electrochemical reaction mechanisms, modification strategies, and full cell performance. In addition to highlighting the current research advances, the outlook and perspective on Wadsley-Roth anode materials is also concisely provided.

Abstract
The oxygen-related electrochemical process, including the oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction, is usually a kinetically sluggish reaction and thus dominates the whole efficiency of energy storage and conversion devices. Owing to the dominant role of the oxygen-related electrochemical process in the development of electrochemical energy, an abundance of oxygen-related electrocatalysts is discovered. Among them, perovskite-type materials with flexible crystal and electronic structures have been researched for a long time. However, most perovskite materials still show low intrinsic activity, which highlights the importance of activation strategies for perovskite-type structures to improve their intrinsic activity. In this review, the recent progress of the activation strategies for perovskite-type structures is summarized and their related applications in oxygen-related electrocatalysis reactions, including electrochemistry water splitting, metal-air batteries, and solid oxide fuel cells are discussed. Furthermore, the existing challenges and the future perspectives for the designing of ideal perovskite-type structure catalysts are proposed and discussed.

Abstract
The continuous growth of the solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) and material crushing are the fundamental issues that hinder the application of Ge anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Solving Ge deformation crushing during discharge/charge cycles is challenging using conventional carbon coating modification methods. Due to the chemical stability and high melting point of carbon (3500 °C), Ge/carbon hybridization at the atomic level is challenging. By selecting a suitable carbon source and introducing an active medium, we have achieved the Ge/carbon doping at the atom-level, and this Ge/carbon anode shows excellent electrochemical performance. The reversible capacity is maintained at 1127 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles (2 A g-1 (2-71 cycles), 4 A g-1 (72-1000 cycles)) with a retention of 84 % compared to the second cycle. The thickness of the SEI is only 17.4 nm after 1000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance and stable SEI fully reflect the application potential of this material.

Abstract
Despite that bond dissociation energies (BDEs) are among the most fundamental and relevant chemical properties they remain poorly characterized for most elementary lanthanide hydroxides and halides. Lanthanide ions Ln+ = Eu+, Tm+ and Yb+ are here shown to react with H2O to yield hydroxides LnOH+. Under low-energy conditions such reactions must be exothermic, which implies a lower limit of 499 kJ mol-1 for the Ln+-OH BDEs. This limit is significantly higher than previously reported for YbOH+ and is unexpectedly similar to the BDE for Yb+-F. To explain this apparent anomaly, it is considered feasible that the inefficient hydrolysis reactions observed here in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer may actually be endothermic. More definitive and broad-based evaluations and comparisons require additional and more reliable BDEs and ionization energies for key lanthanide molecules, and/or energies for ligand-exchange reactions like LnF + OH ↔ LnOH + F. The hydroxide results motivated an assessment of currently available lanthanide monohalide BDEs. Among several intriguing relationships is the distinctively higher BDE for neutral LuF versus cationic LuF+, though quantifying this comparison awaits a more accurate value for the anomalously high ionization energy of LuF.

Abstract
Advanced templating techniques have enabled delicate control of both nano- and microscale structures and have helped thrust functional materials into the forefront of society. Cellulose nanomaterials are derived from natural polymers and show promise as a templating source for advanced materials. Use of cellulose nanomaterials in templating combines nanoscale property control with sustainability, an attribute often lacking in other templating techniques. Use of cellulose nanofibers for templating has shown great promise in recent years, but previous reviews on cellulose nanomaterial templating techniques have not provided extensive analysis of cellulose nanofiber templating. Cellulose nanofibers display several unique properties, including mechanical strength, porosity, high water retention, high surface functionality, and an entangled fibrous network, all of which can dictate distinctive aspects in the final templated materials. Many applications exploit the unique aspects of templating with cellulose nanofibers that help control the final properties of the material, including, but not limited to, applications in catalysis, batteries, supercapacitors, electrodes, building materials, biomaterials, and membranes. A detailed analysis on the use of cellulose nanofibers templating is provided, addressing specifically how careful selection of templating mechanisms and methodologies, combined toward goal applications, can be used to directly benefit chosen applications in advanced functional materials.

Abstract
Metallic lithium is one of the most promising anode materials to build next generation electrochemical power sources such as Li-air, Li-sulfur, and solid-state lithium batteries. The implementation of rechargeable Li-based batteries is plagued by issues including dendrites, pulverization, and an unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI). Herein, we report the use of nanostructured CuO in situ grown on commercial copper foil (CuO@Cu) via chemical etching as a Li-reservoir substrate to stabilize SEI formation and Li stripping/plating. The lithiophilic interconnected CuO layer enhances electrolyte wettability. Besides, a mechanically stable Li2O- and LiF-rich SEI is generated on CuO@Cu during initial discharge, which permits dense and uniform lithium deposition upon subsequent cycling. Compared with bare Cu, the CuO@Cu electrode exhibits superior performance in terms of Coulombic efficiency, discharge/charge overpotentials, and cyclability. By pairing with the Li-CuO@Cu anodes, full cells with LiFePO4 and LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathodes sustain 300 cycles with 98.8% capacity retention at 1 C and deliver a specific capacity of 80 mAh g-1 at 10 C, respectively. This work would shed light on the design of advanced current collectors with SEI modulation to upgrade lithium anodes.

Abstract
The quest for getting more efficient carbonous anodes for sodium ion batteries (NIBs) prepared by simple and economical methods continues to be an important endeavor. Herein, a plasma-controlled method is developed for preparing semi-ionic CF bonds decorating nitrogen-enriched electrospinning carbon nanofibers (NCNFs) as a free-standing anode for NIBs. The semi-ionic CF bonds are beneficial to the fast ion and electron transfer for a free-standing electrode, which remarkably improves the rate performances of NCNFs as the NIBs anodes. The optimized sample delivers a reversible capacity of 199 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and displays excellent long-term stability with reversible specific capacity around 150 mA h g-1 over 2000 cycles at 500 mA g-1 after the rate capability test. Moreover, the presence of semi-ionic CF bonds on plasma nitrogen-enriched electrospinning carbon nanofibers surfaces can reduce the resistance of the anode, thereby showing a more stable solid electrolyte interphase SEI) after electrochemical cycles.

Abstract
Owing to the energy crisis and environmental pollution, developing efficient and robust electrochemical energy storage (or conversion) systems is urgently needed but still very challenging. Next-generation electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices, mainly including fuel cells, metal-air batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-ion batteries, have been viewed as promising candidates for future large-scale energy applications. All these systems are operated through one type of chemical conversion mechanism, which is currently limited by poor reaction kinetics. Single atom catalysts (SACs) perform maximum atom efficiency and well-defined active sites. They have been employed as electrode components to enhance the redox kinetics and adjust the interactions at the reaction interface, boosting device performance. In this Review, we briefly summarize the related background knowledge, motivation and working principle toward next-generation electrochemical energy storage (or conversion) devices, including fuel cells, Zn-air batteries, Al-air batteries, Li-air batteries, Li-CO2 batteries, Li-S batteries, and Na-S batteries. While pointing out the remaining challenges in each system, we clarify the importance of SACs to solve these development bottlenecks. Then, we further explore the working principle and current progress of SACs in various device systems. Finally, future opportunities and perspectives of SACs in next-generation electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices are discussed.

Abstract
Alkali metal-carbon dioxide (Li/Na-CO2) batteries have generated widespread interest in the past few years owing to the attractive strategy of utilizing CO2 while still delivering high specific energy densities. Among these systems, Na-CO2 batteries are more cost effective than Li-CO2 batteries because the former uses cheaper and abundant Na. Herein, a Ru/carbon nanotube (CNT) as a cathode material was used to compare the mechanisms, stabilities, overpotentials, and energy densities of Li-CO2 and Na-CO2 batteries. The potential of Na-CO2 batteries as a viable energy storage technology was demonstrated.

Abstract
This review paper examines the current state-of-the-art in fabrication of aligned fibers via electrospinning techniques and the effects of these techniques on the mechanical and dielectric properties of electrospun fibers. Molecular orientation, system configuration to align fibers, and post-drawing treatment, like hot/cold drawing process, contribute to better specific strength and specific stiffness properties of nanofibers. The authors suggest that these improved, aligned nanofibers, when applied in composites, have better mechanical and dielectric properties for many structural and multifunctional applications, including advanced aerospace applications and energy storage devices. For these applications, most fiber alignment electrospinning research has focused on either mechanical property improvement or dielectric property improvement alone, but not both simultaneously. Relative to many other nanofiber formation techniques, the electrospinning technique exhibits superior nanofiber formation when considering cost and manufacturing complexity for many situations. Even though the dielectric property of pure nanofiber mat may not be of general interest, the analysis of the combined effect of mechanical and dielectric properties is relevant to the present analysis of improved and aligned nanofibers. A plethora of nanofibers, in particular, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun nanofibers, are discussed for their mechanical and dielectric properties. In addition, other types of electrospun nanofibers are explored for their mechanical and dielectric properties. An exploratory study by the author demonstrates the relationship between mechanical and dielectric properties for specimens obtained from a rotating mandrel horizontal setup.
