Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride with ordered two-dimensional structure displays multiple properties, including tunable structure, suitable bandgap, high stability, and facile synthesis. Many achievements on this material have been made in photocatalysis, but the advantages have not yet been fully explored in electrochemical fields. The bulk structure with low conductivity impedes charge-transfer kinetics during electrochemical processes. Excessive nitrogen content leads to insufficient charge transfer, while bulk structures produce tortuous channels for mass transport. Some attempts have been made to address these issues by nanostructure engineering, such as ultrathin structure design, heterogeneous composition, defect engineering, and morphology control. These structure-engineered nanomaterials have been successfully applied in electrochemical fields, including ionic actuators, flexible supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, and electrochemical sensors. Herein, a timely review on the latest advances in graphitic carbon nitride through various engineering strategies for electrochemical applications has been summarized. A perspective on critical challenges and future research directions is highlighted for graphitic carbon nitride in electrochemistry on the basis of existing research works and our experimental experience.

Abstract
The interfacial charge storage is derived from spin-polarized electrons stored on the surface of iron metal nanoparticles, and reasonable utilization can achieve a capacity far beyond the traditional conversion mechanism. Generally, iron oxide is easy to crack, pulverize, and fall off due to its poor conductivity and large volume change during cycling, and causes serious side reactions with the electrolyte. Herein, this pulverization phenomenon was intentionally utilized to in situ form nano-sized iron particles and create a large number of Fe/Li2O interfaces. Specifically, a Li+ conductor like Li2SO4 was utilized to seal micron sized iron oxides and also work as an aggregation barrier. Thus, the in situ formed nanoparticles were separated from the electrolyte and could provide huge capacity through interfacial charge storage. Therefore, the specific capacity of this unique composite continues to rise upon activation cycling and finally reaches 1708 mA h g-1, which is more than twice its theoretical capacity based on the conversion mechanism. The gradually increasing interfacial charge storage capacity was also directly confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests. This novel strategy provides new opportunities for the design and commercialization of advanced energy storage systems.

Abstract
Atomically thin materials (ATMs) with thicknesses in the atomic scale (typically <5 nm) offer inherent advantages of large specific surface areas, proper crystal lattice distortion, abundant surface dangling bonds, and strong in-plane chemical bonds, making them ideal 2D platforms to construct high-performance electrode materials for rechargeable metal-ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries. This work reviews the synthesis and electronic property tuning of state-of-the-art ATMs, including graphene and graphene derivatives (GE/GO/rGO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), phosphorene, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXenes), transition metal oxides (TMOs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for constructing next-generation high-energy-density and high-power-density rechargeable batteries to meet the needs of the rapid developments in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and smart electricity grids. We also present our viewpoints on future challenges and opportunities of constructing efficient ATMs for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Immobilizing nanosized electrochemically active materials with supportive carbonaceous framework usually brings in improved lithium-ion storage performance. In this work, magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) are stabilized by both porous carbon domains (PC) and reduced graphene oxide sheets (RGO) to form a hierarchical composite (Fe3O4@PC/RGO) via a straightforward approach. The PC confined iron nanoparticle intermediate sample (Fe@PC) was first fabricated, where sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC) was employed not only as a cross-linker to trap ferric ions for synthesizing a Fe-CMC precursor sample, but also as the carbon source for PC domains and iron source for Fe nanoparticles in a pyrolysis process. The final redox reaction between Fe@PC and few-layered graphene oxide (GO) sheets contributed to the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with reduced size, avoiding any severe aggregation or excessive exposure. The Fe3O4@PC/RGO sample delivered a specific capacity of 522.2 mAh·g-1 under a current rate of 1000 mA·g-1 for 650 cycles. The engineered Fe@PC and Fe3O4@PC/RGO samples have good prospects for application in wider fields.

Abstract
In this work, a hierarchical reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supportive matrix consisting of both larger two-dimensional RGO sheets and smaller three-dimensional RGO spheres was engineered with ZnO and SnO2 nanoparticles immobilized. The ZnO and SnO2 nanocrystals with controlled size were in sequence engineered on the surface of the RGO sheets during the deoxygenation of graphene oxide sample (GO), where the zinc-containing ZIF-8 sample and metal tin foil were used as precursors for ZnO and SnO2, respectively. After a spray drying treatment and calcination, the final ZnO@SnO2/RGO-H sample was obtained, which delivered an outstanding specific capacity of 982 mAh·g-1 under a high current density of 1000 mA·g-1 after 450 cycles. Benefitting from the unique hierarchical structure, the mechanical strength, ionic and electric conductivities of the ZnO@SnO2/RGO-H sample have been simultaneously promoted. The joint contributions from pseudocapacitive and battery behaviors in lithium-ion storage processes bring in both large specific capacity and good rate capability. The industrially mature spray drying method for synthesizing RGO based hierarchical products can be further developed for wider applications.

Abstract
The spontaneous aggregation and poor electronic conductivity are widely recognized as the main challenges for practically applied nano-sized tin dioxide-based anode candidates in lithium-ion batteries. This work describes a hierarchical graphite and graphene oxide (GO) framework stabilized tin dioxide quantum dot composite (SnO2@C/GO), which is synthesized by a solid-state ball-milling treatment and a water-phase self-assembly process. Characterization results demonstrate the engineered inside nanostructured graphite and outside GO layers from the SnO2@C/GO composite jointly contribute to a good immobilization effect for the SnO2 quantum dots. The hierarchical carbonaceous matrix supported SnO2 quantum dots could maintain good structure stability over a long cycling life under high current densities. As an anodic electrochemically active material for lithium-ion batteries, the SnO2@C/GO composite shows a high reversible capacity of 1156 mAh·g-1 at the current density of 1000 mA·g-1 for 350 continual cycles as well as good rate performance. The large pseudocapacitive behavior in this electrode is favorable for promoting the lithium-ion storage capability under higher current densities. The whole synthetic route is simple and effective, which probably has good potential for further development to massively fabricate high-performance electrode active materials for energy storage.

Abstract
Herein, we report a facile hydrothermal synthesis of MnO₂ nanoparticles anchored multi walled carbon nanotubes (MnO₂@MWCNTs) as potential anode materials for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. The prepared MnO₂@MWCNTs were characterized by several techniques which confirmed the formation of MnO₂ nanoparticles anchored MWCNTs. The X-ray diffraction and Raman-scattering analyses of the prepared material further revealed the effective synthesis of MnO₂@MWCNTs. The fabricated Li-ion battery based on MnO₂@MWCNTs exhibited a reversible capacity of ~823 mAhg-1 at a current density of 100 mAg-1 for the first cycle, and delivered a capacity of ~421 mAhg-1 for the 60 cycles. The coulombic efficiency was found to be ~100% which showed excellent reversible charge-discharge behavior. The outstanding performance of the MnO₂@MWCNTs anode for the Li-ion battery can be attributed to the distinctive morphology of the MnO₂ nanoparticles anchored MWCNTs that facilitated the fast transport of lithium ions and electrons and accommodated a broad volume change during the cycles of charge/discharge.

Abstract
Defect engineering through induction of dislocations is an efficient strategy to design and develop an electrode material with enhanced electrochemical performance in energy storage technology. Yet, synthesis, comprehension, identification, and effect of dislocation in electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are still elusive. Herein, we propose an ethanol-thermal method mediated with surfactant-template and subsequent annealing under air atmosphere to induce dislocation into titanium niobium oxide (Ti2Nb14O39), resultant nanoscale-dislocated-Ti2Nb14O39 (Nano-dl-TNO). High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), fast Fourier transform (FFT), and Geometrical phase analysis (GPA) denote that the high dislocation density engraved with stacking faults forms into the Ti2Nb14O39 lattice. The presence of dislocation could offer an additional active site for lithium-ion storage and tune the electrical and ionic properties of the Ti2Nb14O39. The resultant Nano-dl-TNO delivers superior rate capability, high specific capacity, better cycling stability, and making Ti2Nb14O39 a suitable candidate among fast-charging anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, In-situ High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and Geometrical phase analysis (GPA) evinces that the removal of the dislocated area in the Nano-dl-TNO leads to the contraction of the lattice, alleviation of the total volume expansion, causing the symmetrization and preserves structural stability. The present findings and designed approach reveal the rose-colored perspective of dislocation engineering into mixed transition metal oxides as next-generation anodes for advanced lithium-ion batteries and all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Description of redox reactions is critically important for understanding and rational design of materials for electrochemical technologies, including metal-ion batteries, catalytic surfaces, or redox-flow cells. Most of these technologies utilize redox-active transition metal compounds due to their rich chemistry and their beneficial physical and chemical properties for these types of applications. A century since its introduction, the concept of formal oxidation states (FOS) is still widely used for rationalization of the mechanisms of redox reactions, but there exists a well-documented discrepancy between FOS and the electron density-derived charge states of transition metal ions in their bulk and molecular compounds. We summarize our findings and those of others which suggest that density-driven descriptors are, in certain cases, better suited to characterize the mechanism of redox reactions, especially when anion redox is involved, which is the blind spot of the FOS ansatz.

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
Due to the adjustable structure and the broad application prospects in energy and other fields, the exploration of porous organic materials [metal-organic polymers (MOPs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), etc.] has attracted extensive attention. In this work, an imine-induced metal-organic and covalent organic coexisting framework (Co-MOP@COF) hybrid was designed based on the combination between the amino units from the organic ligands of Co-MOP and the aldehyde groups from COF. The obtained Co-MOP@COF hybrid with layer-decorated microsphere morphology exhibited good electrochemical cycling performance (a large reversible capacity of 1020 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and a reversible capacity of 396 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1 ) as the anode for Li-ion batteries. The coexisting framework structure endowed the Co-MOP@COF hybrid with more surface area exposed in the exfoliated COF structure, which provided rapid Li-ion diffusion, better electrolyte infiltration, and effective activation of functional groups. Therefore, the Co-MOP@COF hybrid material achieved an enhanced Li storage mechanism involving multi-electron redox reactions, related to the CoII center and organic groups (C=C groups of benzene rings and C=N groups), and furthermore improved electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nevertheless, their poor electronic and ionic conductivity as well as huge volume change leads to low capacity release and rapid capacity decay. Herein, a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-encapsulated TMOs strategy is developed to address the above problems. The Co3 O4 -CoFe2 O4 @rGO composites with rGO sheets-encapsulated Co3 O4 -CoFe2 O4 microcubes are successfully constructed through a simple metal-organic frameworks precursor route, in which Co[Fe(CN)5 NO] microcubes are in situ coated by graphene oxide sheets, followed by a two-step calcination process. As anode material of LIBs, Co3 O4 -CoFe2 O4 @rGO exhibits remarkable reversible capacity (1393 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 300 cycles), outstanding long-term cycling stability (701 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 after 500 cycles), and excellent rate capability (420 mAh g-1 at 4.0 A g-1 ). The superior lithium storage performance can be attributed to the unique double-buffer structure, in which the outer flexible rGO shells can prevent the structure collapse of the electrode and improve its conductivity, while the hierarchical porous cores of Co3 O4 -CoFe2 O4 microcubes can buffer the volume expansion. This work provides a general and straightforward strategy for the construction of novel rGO-encapsulated bimetal oxides for energy storage and conversion application.

Abstract
A porous MA-VA-PcNi polymer was prepared by grafting nickel phthalocyanine (PcNi) onto the main chain of a maleic anhydride-vinyl acetate (MA-VA) polymer, and an MA-VA-PcNi electrode is prepared by electrospinning technology to inhibit the agglomeration of the active powder effectively, which produces spherical particles with a diameter of 100-300 nm. The synthesized MA-VA-PcNi polymer is used as the anode for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, exhibiting excellent energy storage behaviors. The MA-VA-PcNi/Li battery displays a high capacity of 610 mA h g-1 and can still remain at 507 mA h g-1 with a retention rate of 83.1% after 400 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1. Even at a high current density of 2 A g-1, the specific capacity can remain at 195 mA h g-1. In addition, the MA-VA-PcNi/Na battery displays a high capacity of 336 mA h g-1 and can still remain at 278 mA h g-1 with a retention rate of 82.7% after 400 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1. A high specific capacity of 164 mA h g-1 can also be achieved at a high current density of 1 A g-1. After nickel phthalocyanine (PcNi) was grafted onto the MA-VA polymer, aggregation between phthalocyanine rings was effectively prevented, and this exposes more active sites. At the same time, the spherical particles obtained by electrospinning technology further improve the dispersion and increase the number of active sites of the active materials. Finally, the electrode materials show excellent energy storage behavior for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, which provides a new idea for designing high-performance energy storage materials for organic electrodes.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely recognized as one of the most fascinating classes of materials from science and engineering perspectives, benefiting from their high porosity and well-defined and tailored structures and components at the atomic level. Although their intrinsic micropores endow size-selective capability and high surface area, etc., the narrow pores limit their applications toward diffusion-control and large-size species involved processes. In recent years, the construction of hierarchically porous MOFs (HP-MOFs), MOF-based hierarchically porous composites, and MOF-based hierarchically porous derivatives has captured widespread interest to extend the applications of conventional MOF-based materials. In this Review, the recent advances in the design, synthesis, and functional applications of MOF-based hierarchically porous materials are summarized. Their structural characters toward various applications, including catalysis, gas storage and separation, air filtration, sewage treatment, sensing and energy storage, have been demonstrated with typical reports. The comparison of HP-MOFs with traditional porous materials (e.g., zeolite, porous silica, carbons, metal oxides, and polymers), subsisting challenges, as well as future directions in this research field, are also indicated.

Abstract
The ever-growing portable electronics and electric vehicle draws the attention of scaling up of energy storage systems with high areal-capacity. The concept of thick electrode designs has been used to improve the active mass loading toward achieving high overall energy density. However, the poor rate capabilities of electrode material owing to increasing electrode thickness significantly affect the rapid transportation of ionic and electron diffusion kinetics. Herein, a new concept named "sub-thick electrodes" is successfully introduced to mitigate the Li-ion storage performance of electrodes. This is achieved by using commercial nickel foam (NF) to develop a monolithic 3D with rich in situ heterogeneous interfaces anode (Cu3 P-Ni2 P-NiO, denoted NF-CNNOP) to reinforce the adhesive force of the active materials on NF as well as contribute additional capacity to the electrode. The as-prepared NF-CNNOP electrode displays high reversible and rate areal capacities of 6.81 and 1.50 mAh cm-2 at 0.40 and 6.0 mA cm-2 , respectively. The enhanced Li-ion storage capability is attributed to the in situ interfacial engineering within the NiO, Ni2 P, and Cu3 P and the 3D consecutive electron conductive network. In addition, cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge curves, and symmetric cell electrochemical impedance spectroscopy consistently reveal improved pseudocapacitance with enhanced transports kinetics in this sub-thick electrodes.

Abstract
Nanostructured transition-metal oxides have been under intensive investigation for their tantalizing potential as anodes of next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the exact mechanism for nanostructures to influence the LIB performance remains largely elusive. In this work, we discover the nanostructure-mediated lithiation mechanism in Co3O4 anodes using ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffractometry: while Co3O4 nanosheets exhibit a typical two-step conversion reaction (from Co3O4 to CoO and then to Co0), Co3O4 nanoarrays can go through a direct conversion from Co3O4 to Co0 at a high discharge rate. Such nanostructure-dependent lithiation can be rationalized by the slow lithiation kinetics intrinsic to Co3O4 nanoarrays, which at a high discharge rate may cause local accumulation of lithium to initiate a one-step Co3O4-to-Co0 conversion. Combined with the larger volume change observed in Co3O4 nanoarrays, the slow lithiation kinetics can lead to inhomogeneous expansion with large stress developed at the reaction front, which can eventually cause structure failure and irreversible capacity loss, as explicitly observed by in situ TEM as well as galvanostatic discharge-charge measurement. Our observation resolves the nanostructure-dependent lithiation mechanism of Co3O4 and provides important insights into the interplay among lithiation kinetics, phase evolution, and lithium-storage performance, which can be translated into electrode design strategies for next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
Recently, spinel structures (AB2O4) Nanoparticles (NPs) having binary and ternary mixtures of metal oxides have been established as promising redox catalysts. Due to the presence of two mixed valence metal cations, transport of electrons takes place easily between multiple transition-metal cations with relatively low energy of activation. Among these, spinel cobaltite (MCo2O4) is very attractive due to its low cost, non-toxicity, higher stability, higher electronic conductivity and electrochemical property. To date, MCo2O4 has been used in the fabrication of supercapacitors, electrodes for oxygen evolution reaction, and electrochemical sensors for glucose. A variety of MMCo2O4materials have been synthesized, characterized, and utilized in the fabrication of super capacitors, electrodes for oxygen evolution reaction, and electrochemical sensors for glucose. The progress in the field of the spinel MCo2O4 materials opens the door to novel and efficient applications in the nanoscience and nanotechnology, and elctrochemistry.

Abstract
Volume expansion hinders conversion-type transition-metal oxides (TMOs) as potential anode candidates for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. While nanostructuring and nanosizing have been employed to improve the cycling stability of TMOs, we show here that both high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and stable cycling reversibility are achieved in the layered compound Li0.9Nb0.9Mo1.1O6 (L0.9NMO) by inherent properties of the bulk crystal structure. In this model, MoO6 octahedra as active centers react with lithium ions and endow capacity, while a grid composed of NbO6 octahedra effectively suppresses the volume expansion, enhances the conductivity, and supports the structural skeleton from collapse. As a result, bulk L0.9NMO not only delivers a high discharge capacity of 1128 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 with a considerable ICE of 87% but also exhibits long cycling stability and good rate performance (339 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 with an average Coulombic efficiency approaching 100%). The self-confined structure provides a competitive strategy for stable conversion-type lithium storage.

Abstract
SnO2, a typical transition metal oxide, is a promising conversion-type electrode material with an ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity of 1494 mAh g−1. Nevertheless, the electrochemical performance of SnO2 electrode is limited by large volumetric changes (~300%) during the charge/discharge process, leading to rapid capacity decay, poor cyclic performance, and inferior rate capability. In order to overcome these bottlenecks, we develop highly ordered SnO2 nanopillar array as binder-free anodes for LIBs, which are realized by anodic aluminum oxide-assisted pulsed laser deposition. The as-synthesized SnO2 nanopillar exhibit an ultrahigh initial specific capacity of 1082 mAh g−1 and maintain a high specific capacity of 524/313 mAh g−1 after 1100/6500 cycles, outperforming SnO2 thin film-based anodes and other reported binder-free SnO2 anodes. Moreover, SnO2 nanopillar demonstrate excellent rate performance under high current density of 64 C (1 C = 782 mA g−1), delivering a specific capacity of 278 mAh g−1, which can be restored to 670 mAh g−1 after high-rate cycling. The superior electrochemical performance of SnO2 nanoarray can be attributed to the unique architecture of SnO2, where highly ordered SnO2 nanopillar array provided adequate room for volumetric expansion and ensured structural integrity during the lithiation/delithiation process. The current study presents an effective approach to mitigate the inferior cyclic performance of SnO2-based electrodes, offering a realistic prospect for its applications as next-generation energy storage devices.

Abstract
A novel solution combustion synthesis of nanoscale spinel-structured Co3O4 powder was proposed in this work. The obtained material was composed of loosely arranged nanoparticles whose average diameter was about 36 nm. The as-prepared cobalt oxide powder was also tested as the anode material for Li-ion batteries and revealed specific capacities of 1060 and 533 mAh·g-1 after 100 cycles at charge-discharge current densities of 100 and 500 mA·g-1, respectively. Moreover, electrochemical measurements indicate that even though the synthesized nanomaterial possesses a low active surface area, it exhibits a relatively high specific capacity measured at 100 mA·g-1 after 100 cycles and a quite good rate capability at current densities between 50 and 5000 mA·g-1.

Abstract
In this work, we fabricated vanadium/zinc metal-organic frameworks (V/Zn-MOFs) derived from self-assembled metal organic frameworks, to further disperse ultrasmall Zn2VO4 nanoparticles and encapsulate them in a nitrogen-doped nanocarbon network (ZVO/NC) under in situ pyrolysis. When employed as an anode for lithium-ion batteries, ZVO/NC delivers a high reversible capacity (807 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1) and excellent rate performance (372 mAh g-1 at 8.0 A g-1). Meanwhile, when used in sodium-ion batteries, it exhibits long-term cycling stability (7000 cycles with 145 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1). Additionally, when employed in potassium-ion batteries, it also shows outstanding electrochemical performance with reversible capacities of 264 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and 140 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 for 1000 cycles. The mechanism by which the pseudocapacitive behaviour of ZVO/NC enhances battery performance under a suitable electrolyte was probed, which offers useful enlightenment for the potential development of anodes of alkali-ion batteries. The performance of Zn2VO4 as an anode for SIBs/PIBs was investigated for the first time. This work provides a new horizon in the design ZVO/NC as a promising anode material owing to the intrinsically synergic effects of mixed metal species and the multiple valence states of V.

Abstract
Vanadium oxide (V2O3) has been considered as a promising anode material for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), but challenging as well for the low electron/ion conductivity and poor structural stability. To tackle these issues, herein, a novel sheetlike hybrid nanoarchitecture constructed by uniformly encapsulating V2O3 nanoparticles in amorphous carbon nanosheets (V2O3@C) with the generation of C-O-V bonding is presented. Such a subtle architecture effectively facilitates the infiltration of electrolyte, relieves the mechanical strain, and reduces the potassium-ion diffusion distance during the repetitive charging/discharging processes. The generated C-O-V bonding not only accelerated charge transfer across the carbon-V2O3 interface but also strengthened the structural stability. Benefiting from the synergistic effects, the as-prepared V2O3@C nanosheets display fast and durable potassium storage behaviors with a reversible capacity of 116.6 mAh g-1 delivered at 5 A g-1, and a specific capacity of 147.9 mAh g-1 retained after 1800 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g-1. Moreover, the insertion/extraction mechanism of V2O3@C nanosheets in potassium-ion storage is systematically demonstrated by electrochemical analysis and ex situ technologies. This study will shed light on the fabricating of other metal oxides anodes for high-performance PIBs and beyond.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in electric vehicles and portable electronic devices due to their high energy density, long cycle life, environmental friendliness, and negligible memory effect, though they also suffer from low power density, safety issues, and an aging effect. Cobalt chalcogenides/phosphides as promising anode materials have attracted intensive interests due to their high theoretical capacity based on the conversion mechanism. Cobaltates (XCo2 O4 , X = the other metal) have attracted attention because the X element can partially replace the high cost and toxic cobalt element. The serious volume variation during the cycling process has an impact, however, on the lithiation environment of above materials. Hierarchical construction can provide more active sites and shorten the diffusion pathways of Li ions as well as accommodating the volume expansion during lithiation processes. Herein, the research progress on the synthesis methods, structural characteristics, and electrochemical performances of cobalt chalcogenides/cobalt phosphides/cobaltates with hierarchical nanostructures for LIBs is presented. The concluding remarks highlight the research challenges and possible development directions of cobalt chalcogenides/cobalt phosphides/cobaltates with tailored hierarchical nanostructures for LIBs.

Abstract
Multi-yolk-shell MnO@mesoporous carbon (MnO@m-carbon) nanopomegranates, featuring MnO nanoparticles within cavities of m-carbon with internal space between the MnO nanoparticle and a cavity carbon shell, were subtly constructed. Moreover, the buffer space was well controlled by means of regulating the size of the cavity in m-carbon or the content of MnO. The results of electrochemical measurements demonstrated that MnO(10)@m-carbon(22) nanopomegranates (MnO nanoparticle, 15 nm; cavity size, 22 nm) had the best cycling and rate performance for lithium ion storage. The pomegranate-like MnO@m-carbon nanostructures have shown several advantages for their excellent performance: the nanocavity in m-carbon can restrict the growth and agglomeration of MnO nanoparticles; the well-interconnected mesoporous carbon matrix provides a "highway" for electrons and lithium ion transport; the voids between the MnO nanoparticle and cavity shell can alleviate the volume expansion.

Abstract
This work reports the preparation of unique hierarchical yolk/double-shelled SiOx @TiO2 @C nanospheres with different voids by a facile sol-gel method combined with carbon coating. In the preparation process, SiOx nanosphere is used as a hard template. Etch time of SiOx yolk affects the morphology and electrochemical performance of SiOx @TiO2 @C. With the increase in etch time, the yolk/double-shelled SiOx @TiO2 @C with 15 and 30 nm voids and the TiO2 @C hollow nanospheres are obtained. The yolk/double-shelled SiOx @TiO2 @C nanospheres exhibit remarkable lithium-ion battery performance as anodes, including high lithium storage capacity, outstanding rate capability, good reversibility, and stable long-term cycle life. The unique structure can accommodate the large volume change of the SiOx yolk, provide a unique buffering space for the discharge/charge processes, improve the structural stability of the electrode material during repeated Li+ intercalation/deintercalation processes, and enhance the cycling stability. The SiOx @TiO2 @C with 30 nm void space exhibits a high discharge specific capacity of ≈1195.4 mA h g-1 at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 after 300 cycles and ≈701.1 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 for over 800 cycles. These results suggest that the proposed particle architecture is promising and may have potential applications in improving various high performance anode materials.

Abstract
The synergetic effect between two or more electrochemically active materials usually leads to superior lithium-ion storage performance. This work demonstrates a straightforward and effective approach to synthesize a reduced graphene oxide (RGO) encapsulated larger goethite (FeOOH) nanoparticles and smaller tin dioxide (SnO2) quantum dots hierarchical composite (SnO2@FeOOH/RGO). The synthesized SnO2@FeOOH/RGO composite exhibits encouraging lithium-ion storage capability than controlled SnO2/RGO and FeOOH/RGO samples with a stable specific capacity of 638 mAh·g-1 under a high current rate of 1000 mA·g-1 for 2000 continual cycles and good rate performance. The redox reaction between reductive metal-atoms or metal-ions and graphene oxide (GO) sheets guarantees an effective immobilization of corresponding nano-sized metal oxide and hydroxide crystals by the RGO framework. Furthermore, the engineered larger FeOOH crystals engage in lithium-ion storage and perform an ideal spacer between the restacked RGO sheets. Therefore, smaller SnO2 quantum dots' inherent excellent rate capability is extensively promoted due to the improvement of electrolyte diffusion and electron transfer condition. The sample design and fabrication method in this work might be developed for broader applications.

Organic molecule confinement reaction for preparation of the Sn nanoparticles@graphene anode materials in Lithium-ion battery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 589:308-317. [PMID: 33472150 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2020.12.086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2020] [Revised: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Sn@Graphene composites as anode materials in Lithium-ion batteries have attracted intensive interest due to the inherent high capacity. On the other side, the high atomic ratio (Li4.4Sn) induces the pulverization of the electrode with cycling. Thus, suppressing pulverization by designing the structure of the materials is an essential key for improving cyclability. Applying the nanotechnologies such as electrospinning, soft/hard nano template strategy, surface modification, multi-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and so on has demonstrated the huge advantage on this aspect. These strategies are generally used for homogeneous dispersing Sn nanomaterials in graphene matrix or constructing the voids in the inner of the materials to obtain the mechanical buffer effect. Unfortunately, these processes induce huge energy consumption and complicated operation. To solve the issue, new nanotechnology for the composites by the bottom-up strategy (Organic Molecule Confinement Reaction (OMCR)) was shown in this report. A 3D organic nanoframes was synthesized as a graphene precursor by low energy nano emulsification and photopolymerization. SnO2 nanoparticles@3D organic nanoframes as the composites precursor were in-situ formed in the hydrothermal reaction. After the redox process by the calcination, the Sn nanoparticles with nanovoids (~100 nm, uniform size) were homogeneously dispersed in a Two-Dimensional Laminar Matrix of graphene nanosheets (2DLMG) by the in-situ patterning and confinement effect from the 3D organic nanoframes. The pulverization and crack of the composites were effectively suppressed, which was proved by the electrochemical testing. The Sn nanoparticles@2DLMG not delivered just the high cyclability during 200 cycles, but also firstly achieved a high specific capacity (539 mAh g-1) at the low loading Sn (19.58 wt%).

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks are a class of extended crystalline organic materials that possess unique architectures with high surface areas and tuneable pore sizes. Since the first discovery of the topological frameworks in 2005, COFs have been applied as promising materials in diverse areas such as separation and purification, sensing or catalysis. Considering the need for renewable and clean energy production, many research efforts have recently focused on the application of porous materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. In this respect, considerable efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of COF-based materials for electrochemical applications, including electrodes and membranes for fuel cells, supercapacitors and batteries. This review article highlights the design principles and strategies for the synthesis of COFs with a special focus on their potential for electrochemical applications. Recently suggested hybrid COF materials or COFs with hierarchical porosity will be discussed, which can alleviate the most challenging drawback of COFs for these applications. Finally, the major challenges and future trends of COF materials in electrochemical applications are outlined.

Abstract
Faradaic electrode materials have significantly improved the performance of membrane capacitive deionization, which offers an opportunity to produce freshwater from seawater or brackish water in an energy-efficient way. However, Faradaic materials hold the drawbacks of slow desalination rate due to the intrinsic low ion diffusion kinetics and inferior stability arising from the volume expansion during ion intercalation, impeding the engineering application of capacitive deionization. Herein, a pseudocapacitive material with hollow architecture was prepared via template-etching method, namely, cuboid cobalt hydroxide, with fast desalination rate (3.3 mg (NaCl)·g-1 (h-Co(OH)2)·min-1 at 100 mA·g-1) and outstanding stability (90% capacity retention after 100 cycles). The hollow structure enables swift ion transport inside the material and keeps the electrode intact by alleviating the stress induced from volume expansion during the ion capture process, which is corroborated well by in situ electrochemical dilatometry and finite element simulation. Additionally, benefiting from the elimination of unreacted bulk material and vertical cobalt hydroxide nanosheets on the exterior surface, the synthesized material provides a high desalination capacity (117 ± 6 mg (NaCl)·g-1 (h-Co(OH)2) at 30 mA·g-1). This work provides a new strategy, constructing microscale hollow faradic configuration, to further boost the desalination performance of Faradaic materials.

Abstract
The past few decades have witnessed transition metal oxides (TMOs) as promising candidates for a plethora of applications in numerous fields. The exceptional properties retained by these materials have rendered them of paramount emphasis as functional materials. Thus, the controlled and scalable synthesis of transition metal oxides with desired properties has received enormous attention. Out of different top-down and bottom-up approaches, template-assisted synthesis predominates as an adept approach for the facile synthesis of transition metal oxides, owing to its phenomenal ability for morphological and physicochemical tuning. This review presents a comprehensive examination of the recent advances in the soft-template-assisted synthesis of TMOs, focusing on the morphological and physicochemical tuning aided by different soft-templates. The promising applications of TMOs are explained in detail, emphasizing those with excellent performances.

Abstract
Free-standing electrodes with high energy density and long life are of critical importance to the development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for flexible/wearable electronic devices. Herein, the free-standing and foldable V2 O3 /multichannel carbon nanofibers (V2 O3 /MCCNFs) composites are prepared via electrospinning and subsequent carbonization. Such V2 O3 /MCCNFs electrode delivers a superior capacity of 881.1 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 240 cycles. More importantly, the ultralong lifespan is achieved with a high capacity of 487.8 mAh g-1 even after 5000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1 with only 0.00323% decay rate, which shows the best performance among the reported V2 O3 -based anodes and other metal oxides based free-standing anodes. Furthermore, this flexible electrode is further applied to the pouch cell, which exhibits prominent capacity of 348.3 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 with 0.094% decay per cycle. The unprecedented performance can be ascribed to synergetic contributions of V2 O3 and multichannel carbon nanofibers, which not only promote the penetration of electrolyte and reduce the transport length of Li+ , but also increase active material/electrolyte contact area and buffer the volume change. This work paves the way to develop free-standing electrode for flexible/wearable electronic devices with ultralong lifespan.

Abstract
The conductivity and stability of materials have always been the main problems hindering the development of lithium-ion battery applications. Here, we successfully construct MnCO3@NiO composites with unique heterogeneous structure via the epitaxial growth of porous NiO nanosheets (thickness: ∼125 nm) on MnCO3 microspheres (diameter: ∼3 μm) to be the anode of lithium-ion batteries. The synergistic effect provided by this special heterogeneous structure effectively improves the electrochemical kinetics, specific surface area as well as structural stability of the composites, finally resulting in predictable enhanced comprehensive electrochemical performance. The electrochemical results show that the MnCO3@NiO composites exhibit a reversible discharge capacity of 624 mA h g-1 at a current density of 1.0 A g-1 up to 300 cycles.

Abstract
Lithium ion batteries have been considered as a promising energy-storage solution, the performance of which depends on the electrochemical properties of each component, including cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator. Currently, fast charging is becoming an attractive research field due to the widespread application of batteries in electric vehicles, which are designated to replace conventional diesel automobiles in the future. In these batteries, rate capability, which is closely linked to the topology and morphology of electrode materials, is one of the determining parameters of interest. It has been revealed that nanotechnology is an exceptional tool in designing and preparing cathodes and anodes with outstanding electrochemical kinetics due to the well-known nanosizing effect. Nevertheless, the negative effects of applying nanomaterials in electrodes sometimes outweigh the benefits. To better understand the exact function of nanostructures in solid-state electrodes, herein, a comprehensive review is provided beginning with the fundamental theory of lithium ion transport in solids, which is then followed by a detailed analysis of several major factors affecting the migration of lithium ions in solid-state electrodes. The latest developments in characterisation techniques, based on either electrochemical or radiology methodologies, are covered as well. In addition, state-of-the-art research findings are provided to illustrate the effect of nanomaterials and nanostructures in promoting the rate performance of lithium ion batteries. Finally, several challenges and shortcomings of applying nanotechnology in fabricating high-rate lithium ion batteries are summarised.

[PMID: 33050348 PMCID: PMC7600623 DOI: 10.3390/nano10101994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
At present, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received widespread attention as substantial energy storage devices; thus, their electrochemical performances must be continuously researched and improved. In this paper, we demonstrate a simple self-template solvothermal method combined with annealing for the synthesis of NiFe2O4 yolk-shell (NFO-YS) and NiFe2O4 solid (NFO-S) nanospheres by controlling the heating rate and coating them with a carbon layer on the surface via high-temperature carbonization of resorcinol and formaldehyde resin. Among them, NFO-YS@C has an obvious yolk-shell structure, with a core-shell spacing of about 60 nm, and the thicknesses of the NiFe2O4 shell and carbon shell are approximately 15 and 30 nm, respectively. The yolk-shell structure can alleviate volume changes and shorten the ion/electron diffusion path, while the carbon shell can improve conductivity. Therefore, NFO-YS@C nanospheres as the anode materials of LIBs show a high initial capacity of 1087.1 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1, and the capacity of NFO-YS@C nanospheres impressively remains at 1023.5 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 200 mA g-1. The electrochemical performance of NFO-YS@C is significantly beyond NFO-S@C, which proves that the carbon coating and yolk-shell structure have good stability and excellent electron transport ability.

Abstract
Despite the high capacity of Co3O4 employed in lithium-ion battery anodes, the reduced conductivity and grievous volume change of Co3O4 during long cycling of insertion/extraction of lithium-ions remain a challenge. Herein, an optimized nanocomposite, Co3O4/nitrogen-doped hemisphere-porous graphene composite (Co3O4/N-HPGC), is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal-template approach with polystyrene (PS) microspheres as a template. The characterization results demonstrate that Co3O4 nanoparticles are densely anchored onto graphene layers, nitrogen elements are successfully introduced by carbamide and the nanocomposites maintain the hemispherical porous structure. As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the composite material not only maintains a relatively high lithium storage capacity (the first discharge specific capacity can reach 2696 mA h g−1), but also shows significantly improved rate performance (1188 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, 344 mA h g−1 at 5 A g−1) and enhanced cycling stability (683 mA h g−1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g−1). The enhanced electrochemical properties of Co3O4/N-HPGC nanocomposites can be ascribed to the synergistic effects of Co3O4 nanoparticles, novel hierarchical structure with hemisphere-pores and nitrogen-containing functional groups of the nanomaterials. Therefore, the developed strategy can be extended as a universal and scalable approach for integrating various metal oxides into graphene-based materials for energy storage and conversion applications. The Co3O4/N-HPGC nanocomposites synthesized by a hydrothermal-template approach with polystyrene microspheres as the template possess excellent electrochemical performance.![]()

Abstract
α-Phase molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) is one of the promising anode materials for lithium storage due to its high theoretical capacity and unique intercalation reaction mechanism. Herein, through an efficient step-by-step solvothermal synthesis strategy, multi-layered MoO3 nanosheets are encapsulated by nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) and ultrathin TiO2 double-shells to obtain hierarchical core-shell nanospheres (MoO3@TiO2@NC). The unique nanostructure enables shortening the Li+ diffusion distance, buffer the volume change during the intercalation/deintercalation process, and increase the active sites for the electrochemical reaction. Based on the hierarchical nanostructure and the synergistic effect of each component, the MoO3@TiO2@NC electrode exhibits a high Li+ storage capacity around 979.6 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.2 A g-1, a stable cycle performance of 800.3 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 700 cycles and an excellent rate capability of 418.0 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1. Furthermore, the MoO3@TiO2@NC-based coin-type full cell with a commercial LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathode exhibited a good cycling stability at 0.2 A g-1 for 100 cycles (∼190 mA h g-1) and rate capability (134 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1).
