Abstract
The ever-increasing demands for advanced lithium-ion batteries have greatly stimulated the quest for robust electrodes with a high areal capacity. Producing thick electrodes from a high-performance active material would maximize this parameter. However, above a critical thickness, solution-processed films typically encounter electrical/mechanical problems, limiting the achievable areal capacity and rate performance as a result. Herein, we show that two-dimensional titanium carbide or carbonitride nanosheets, known as MXenes, can be used as a conductive binder for silicon electrodes produced by a simple and scalable slurry-casting technique without the need of any other additives. The nanosheets form a continuous metallic network, enable fast charge transport and provide good mechanical reinforcement for the thick electrode (up to 450 µm). Consequently, very high areal capacity anodes (up to 23.3 mAh cm−2) have been demonstrated. Developing thick electrodes could enable high-energy-density Li-ion batteries, however, above a critical thickness, the mass transport issues become dominating. Here the authors show that MXene can serve as a conductive binder leading to thick silicon anodes (up to 450 µm) with high areal capacity.

Abstract
Graphene-coated silicon nanoparticles with polydopamine buffers have been designed and successfully fabricated as anodes for lithium ion batteries, where the polydopamine was grown on the silicon nanoparticles and then coated with graphene layers. The expansion cavities for silicon nanoparticles during charging and discharging process are provided by the polydopamine buffer layers. The outermost graphene coating layers not only keep the pulverized silicon particles together without disintegration, but also improve the electric conductivity of silicon nanoparticles. Silicon nanoparticles of an industrial product level with different size distributions and oxidation layers were used in this work. High electrochemical performances with specific capacities of 1100 mAh g-1 were achieved by the designed silicon composites with polydopamine and graphene after 550 cycles at a current rate of 200 mA g-1 .

Abstract
Silicon (Si) has been well recognized as a promising candidate to replace graphite because of its earth abundance and high-capacity storage, but its large volume changes upon lithiation/delithiation and the consequential material fracturing, loss of electrical contact, and over-consumption of the electrolyte prevent its full application. As a countermeasure for rapid capacity decay, a composite electrode of graphite and Si has been adopted by accommodating Si nanoparticles in a graphite matrix. Such an approach, which involves two materials that interact electrochemically with lithium in the electrode, necessitates an analytical methodology to determine the individual electrochemical behavior of each active material. In this work, a methodology comprising differential plots and integral calculus is established to analyze the complicated interplay among the two active batteries and investigate the failure mechanism underlying capacity fade in the blend electrode. To address performance deficiencies identified by this methodology, an aluminum alkoxide (alucone) surface-modification strategy is demonstrated to stabilize the structure and electrochemical performance of the graphite-Si composite electrode. The integrated approach established in this work is of great importance to the design and diagnostics of a multi-component composite electrode, which is expected to be high interest to other next-generation battery system.

Abstract
The structural and interfacial stabilities of metal oxides (MOs) are key issues while facing the volumetric variation and intensive interfacial polarization in electrochemical applications, including lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), supercapacitors, and catalysts. The growth of a seamless all-carbon interfacial layer on MOs with complex dimensions is not only a scientific problem, but also a practical challenge in these fields. Here, the growth of graphdiyne under ultramild condition is successfully implemented in situ for coating MOs of complex dimensions. The seamless all-carbon interface and conductive network are formed at the same time. This method cleverly avoids the structural degradation of MOs at a high temperature in the presence of traditional carbon materials. Under the protection of the high-quality graphdiyne layer, the samples as LIB anodes deliver high performances in terms of Coulomb efficiency, capacity, long-term retention, and structural and interfacial stabilities. Both experimental achievements and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the graphdiyne is a particular protection layer for MOs and plays a crucial role for preventing the structural and interfacial degradation of the electrode. Furthermore, the universality of this method will promote the potential applications of many promising MOs in other electrochemical fields.

Abstract
Elemental Si has a high theoretical capacity and has attracted attention as an anode material for high energy density lithium-ion batteries. Rapid capacity fading is the main problem with Si-based electrodes; this is mainly because of a massive volume change in Si during lithiation-delithiation. Here, we report that combining an ionic-liquid electrolyte with a charge capacity limit of 1000 mA h g-1 significantly suppresses Si volume expansion, improving the cycle life. Phosphorus-doping of Si also enhances the suppression and increases the Li+ diffusion coefficient. In contrast, the Si layer expands significantly in an organic electrolyte even with the charge capacity limit and even in an ionic-liquid electrolyte without the limit. We demonstrated that the homogeneously distributed Si lithiation-delithiation, phase-transition control from the Si to Li-rich Li-Si alloy phases, formation of a surface film with structural and/or mechanical stability, and faster Li+ diffusion contribute to suppressing Si volume expansion.

Abstract
We demonstrate the in situ synthesis of carbon doped porous silicon (Si/C) nanocomposites by a simple thermal displacement process between Mg2Si and inorganic gas CO2 in one-step. Via the decomposition of Mg2Si, the reduction process occurred between Mg and CO2, leading the uniform doping of many distributed tiny carbon nanoparticles into Si. Meanwhile, the porous structure was formed after an acid treatment. When worked as anodes for lithium-ion batteries, the as-prepared s-porous Si/C nanocomposites exhibited good cycling stability and high-rate capability, which were superior to the porous Si and porous Si/C nanocomposites. It was revealed that the enhanced electrochemical properties could be ascribed to the novel porous structure and doped carbon nanoparticles that can buffer the volume expansion, as well as enhance the electronic conductivity of Si. The reaction mechanism was well investigated by studying the influence of reaction temperature and raw Mg2Si particle size on the morphology and component of the porous Si/C nanocomposites.

Abstract
As a newly-developed two-dimensional (2D) material of group-IVA, few-layer silicon (Si) nanosheets were prepared by the liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) method. Its non-linear saturable adsorption property was investigated by 532 and 1064 nm nanosecond lasers. Using Si nanosheets as the saturable absorber (SA), passive Q-switched all-solid-state lasers were demonstrated for the first time. For different laser emissions of Nd3+ at 0.9, 1.06, and 1.34 µm, the narrowest Q-switched pulse widths were 200.2, 103.7, and 110.4 ns, corresponding to the highest peak powers of 2.76, 2.15, and 1.26 W. The results provide a promising SA for solid-state pulsed lasers and broaden the potential application range of Si nanosheets in ultrafast photonics and optoelectronics.

Abstract
To enhance the electrochemical properties of silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries, dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) was selected as a novel electrolyte additive. The addition of 2.5 wt% DMAA to 1.0 M LiPF6/EC : DMC : DEC : FEC (3 : 3 : 3 : 1 weight ratio) electrolyte significantly enhanced the electrochemical properties of the silicon anode including the first coulombic efficiency, rate performance and cycle performance. The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers developed on the silicon anode in different electrolytes were investigated by a combination of electrochemical and spectroscopic studies. The improved electrochemical performances of the Si anode were ascribed to the effective passivation of DMAA on the silicon anode. The addition of DMAA helped develop a uniform SEI layer, which prevented side reactions at the interface of silicon and electrolyte. To enhance the electrochemical properties of silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries, dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) was selected as a novel electrolyte additive.![]()

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are considered favorable candidates for post-lithium-ion batteries, a quality attributed to their low cost, abundance as a resource, and high working potential (-2.93 V for K+/K). Owning to its relatively low potassiation potential and high theoretical capacity, antimony (Sb) is one of the most favorable anodes for KIBs. However, the large volume changes during K-Sb alloying and dealloying causes fast capacity degradation. In this report, nanoporous Sb (NP-Sb) is fabricated by an environmentally friendly vacuum-distillation method. The NP-Sb is formed via evaporating low-boiling-point zinc (Zn). The byproduct Zn can be recycled. It is further found that the morphology and porosity can be controlled by adjusting Zn-Sb composition and distillation temperature. The nanoporous structure can accommodate volume expansion and accelerate ion transport. The NP-Sb anode delivers an improved electrochemical performance. These results suggest that the vacuum-distillation method may provide a direction for the green, large-scale, and tunable fabrication of nanoporous materials.

Abstract
Low conductivity and structural degradation of silicon-based anodes lead to severe capacity fading, which fundamentally hinders their practical application in Li-ion batteries. Here, we report a scalable Si/SiO x@C anode architecture, which is constructed simultaneously by sintering a mixture of SiO/sucrose in argon atmosphere, followed by acid etching. The obtained structure features highly uniform Si nanocrystals embedded in silica matrices with well-controlled internal nanovoids, with all of them embraced by carbon shells. Because of the improvement of the volumetric efficiency for accommodating Si active spices and electrical properties, this hierarchical anode design enables the promising electrochemical performance, including a high initial reversible capacity (1210 mAh g-1), stable cycling performance (90% capacity retention after 100 cycles), and good rate capability (850 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 rate). More notably, the compact heterostructures derived from micro-SiO allow high active mass loading for practical applications and the facile and scalable fabrication strategy makes this electrode material potentially viable for commercialization in Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Binderless, additiveless Si electrode design is developed where a nanoporous ZnO matrix is coated on a Si microparticle electrode to accommodate extreme Si volume expansion and facilitate stable electrochemical cycling. The conversion reaction of nanoporous ZnO forms an ionically and electrically conductive matrix of metallic Zn embedded in Li2O that surrounds the Si microparticles. Upon lithiation, the porous Li2O/Zn matrix expands with Si, preventing extensive pulverization, while Zn serves as active material to form Li xZn to further enhance capacity. Electrodes with a Si mass loading of 1.5 mg/cm2 were fabricated, and a high initial capacity of ∼3900 mAh/g was achieved with an excellent reversible capacity of ∼1500 mAh/g (areal capacity ∼1.7 mAh/cm2) beyond 200 cycles. A high first-cycle Coulombic efficiency was obtained owing to the conversion reaction of nanoporous ZnO, which is a notable feature in comparison to conventional Si anodes. Ex situ analyses confirmed that the nanoporous ZnO coating maintained the coalescence of SiMPs throughout extended cycling. Therefore, the Li2O/Zn matrix derived from conversion-reacted nanoporous ZnO acted as an effective buffer to lithiation-induced stresses from volume expansion and served as a binder-like matrix that contributed to the overall electrode capacity and stability.

Abstract
A syndiotactic-rich PHEMA oligomer ( rr = 74%, DP = 29, PDI = 1.19) was synthesized and subsequently subjected to self-assembly with a varying amount of γ-CDs in its aqueous solution to create mismatched overfit polypseudorotaxanes (PPRs). The inclusion complexation proceeded in an obvious mismatched manner between the cavity of γ-CDs and the cross-sectional area of an incoming PHEMA chain. The 2D-NOESY NMR analysis provided direct evidence indicating that two adjacent pendant hydroxyethyl groups in PHEMA preferably adopt a curled conformation to pass through the cavity of γ-CDs, giving the PPRs characteristics of a mismatched overfit instead of a matched tight-fit crystal structure. The results suggested that the mutual adaption of pendant side chains of HEMA units with the cavity geometry of γ-CDs would play a dominant role in this unfavorable overfit inclusion complexation besides the size of γ-CDs and the stereoregularity of the PHEMA chain.

Abstract
The nanostructure design of a prereserved hollow space to accommodate 300% volume change of silicon anodes has created exciting promises for high-energy batteries. However, challenges with weak mechanical stability during the calendering process of electrode fabrication and poor volumetric energy density remain to be solved. Here we fabricated a pressure-resistant silicon structure by designing a dense silicon shell coating on secondary micrometer particles, each consisting of many silicon nanoparticles. The silicon skin layer significantly improves mechanical stability, while the inner porous structure efficiently accommodates the volume expansion. Such a structure can resist a high pressure of over 100 MPa and is well-maintained after the calendering process, demonstrating a high volumetric capacity of 2041 mAh cm-3. In addition, the dense silicon shell decreases the surface area and thus increases the initial Coulombic efficiency. With further encapsulation with a graphene cage, which allows the silicon core to expand within the cage while retaining electrical contact, the silicon hollow structure exhibits a high initial Coulombic efficiency and fast rise of later Coulombic efficiencies to >99.5% and superior stability in a full-cell battery.

Abstract
Massive volume change of active materials in lithium/sodium ion batteries (LIB/SIB) causes severe structural collapse of electrodes and fast capacity decay of batteries. Here, a coaxial composite of single-wall carbon nanotube bundle (SWCNTB/SnO2 ) nanoparticles (NPs)/N-doped carbon shell (SWCNTB@SnO2 @C) is constructed, where SWCNTBs with exceptional elasticity are explored as a self-adaptive substrate to supply a highly resilient conductive network. Within the confinement of hard carbon shells, SWCNTB can produce radially elastic deformation to accommodate the volume change of SnO2 during Li+ /Na+ insertion/extraction. This overcomes the problem of strain fracturing of the outer carbon shell, as well as maintains close electrical contact between SnO2 and the conductive network. The LIB/SIB with the self-adaptive SWCNTB@SnO2 @C electrode presents a series of superior battery performances, for example, a high specific capacity of 608 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 and 600 cycles in LIB without capacity decay.

Abstract
An elastomer is a three-dimensional network with a cross-linked polymer chain that undergoes large deformation with a small external force and returns to its original state when the external force is removed. Because of this hyperelasticity, elastomers are regarded as one of the best candidates for the matrix material of soft robots. However, the comprehensive performance required of matrix materials is a special challenge because improvement of some matrix properties often causes the deterioration of others. For example, an improvement in toughness can be realized by adding a large amount of filler to an elastomer, but to the impairment of optical transparency. Therefore, to produce an elastomer exhibiting optimum properties suitable for the desired purpose, very elaborate, complicated materials are often devised. Here, we have succeeded in creating an optically transparent, easily fabricated elastomer with good extensibility and high toughness by using a polyrotaxane (PR) composed of cyclic molecules and a linear polymer as a cross-linking agent. In general, elastomers having conventional cross-linked structures are susceptible to breakage as a result of loss of extensibility at high cross-linking density. We found that the toughness of the transparent elastomer prepared using the PR cross-linking agent is enhanced along with its Young's modulus as cross-linking density is increased.

Abstract
Compound-hierarchical-sphere-structured LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 was synthesized to improve the electrochemical performance of this material in lithium-ion battery cathodes. The product was found to have a large specific surface area, good electron and ion conductivities, a stable interface, and a robust nano/microhierarchical structure, all of which improved the rate capability, capacity, and cycling stability of this material. When this material was cycled between 3.0 and 4.3 V, a high discharge capacity of 180.8 mA h g-1 was obtained at 0.2C with 94.0% capacity retention after 100 cycles. In addition, a superior discharge capacity of 148.9 mA h g-1 was observed at a high current density of 1600 mA g-1. This compound-hierarchical-sphere LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 is readily prepared using our ternary coprecipitation method. We also propose an effector unit theory to explain the enhanced cycling stability of this substance and believe that the present results will assist in the design of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
A 3D layered Ni(HCO3)2/rGO nano-architecture was fabricated by coordination self-assembly for high performance storage of Li-ions with fast electrode kinetics and a super-long life.
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been the dominating technology for electric vehicles (EV) and grid storage in the current era, but they are still extensively demanded to further improve energy density, power density, and cycle life. Herein, a novel 3D layered nanoarchitecture network of Ni(HCO3)2/rGO composites with highly uniform Ni(HCO3)2 nanocubes (average diameter of 100 ± 20 nm) wrapped in rGO films is facilely fabricated by a one-step hydrothermal self-assembly process based on the electrostatic interaction and coordination principle. Benefiting from the synergistic effects, the Ni(HCO3)2/rGO electrode delivers an ultrahigh capacity (2450 mA h g–1 at 0.1 A g–1), ultrafast rate capability and ultralong cycling stability (1535 mA h g–1 for the 1000th cycle at 5 A g–1, 803 mA h g–1 for the 2000th cycle at 10 A g–1). The detailed electrochemical reaction mechanism investigated by in situ XRD further indicates that the 3D architecture of Ni(HCO3)2/rGO not only provides a good conductivity network and has a confinement effect on the rGO films, but also benefits from the reversible transfer from LiHCO3 to LixC2 (x = 0–2), further oxidation of nickel, and the formation of a stable/durable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film (LiF and LiOH), which are responsible for the excellent storage performance of the Li-ions. This work could shed light on the design of high-capacity and low-cost anode materials for high energy storage in LIBs to meet the critical demands of EV and mobile information technology devices.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of electrode materials, electrolytes, and separators of energy-storage devices to address the fundamental needs of emerging technologies such as electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. However, binders, as an important component of energy-storage devices, are yet to receive similar attention. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has been the dominant binder in the battery industry for decades despite several well-recognized drawbacks, i.e., limited binding strength due to the lack of chemical bonds with electroactive materials, insufficient mechanical properties, and low electronic and lithium-ion conductivities. The limited binding function cannot meet inherent demands of emerging electrode materials with high capacities such as silicon anodes and sulfur cathodes. To address these concerns, in this review we divide the binding between active materials and binders into two major mechanisms: mechanical interlocking and interfacial binding forces. We review existing and emerging binders, binding technology used in energy-storage devices (including lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors), and state-of-the-art mechanical characterization and computational methods for binder research. Finally, we propose prospective next-generation binders for energy-storage devices from the molecular level to the macro level. Functional binders will play crucial roles in future high-performance energy-storage devices.

Abstract
High-theoretical capacity and low working potential make silicon ideal anode for lithium ion batteries. However, the large volume change of silicon upon lithiation/delithiation poses a critical challenge for stable battery operations. Here, we introduce an unprecedented design, which takes advantage of large deformation and ensures the structural stability of the material by developing a two-dimensional silicon nanosheet coated with a thin carbon layer. During electrochemical cycling, this carbon coated silicon nanosheet exhibits unique deformation patterns, featuring accommodation of deformation in the thickness direction upon lithiation, while forming ripples upon delithiation, as demonstrated by in situ transmission electron microscopy observation and chemomechanical simulation. The ripple formation presents a unique mechanism for releasing the cycling induced stress, rendering the electrode much more stable and durable than the uncoated counterparts. This work demonstrates a general principle as how to take the advantage of the large deformation materials for designing high capacity electrode. Maintaining the structural stability during electrochemical cycling remains a big challenge facing the silicon anode material. Here, the authors have developed 2D silicon nanosheets coated with carbon layers, which show a unique mechanism in releasing internal stress by forming ripple structures.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely applied in portable electronics (laptops, mobile phones, etc.) as one of the most popular energy storage devices. Currently, much effort has been devoted to exploring alternative high-capacity anode materials and thus potentially constructing high-performance LIBs with higher energy/power density. Here, high-capacity anode nanomaterials based on the diverse types of mechanisms, intercalation/deintercalation mechanism, alloying/dealloying reactions, conversion reaction, and Li metal reaction, are reviewed. Moreover, recent studies in atomic-scale storage mechanism by utilizing advanced microscopic techniques, such as in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and other techniques (e.g., spherical aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy, cryoelectron microscopy, and 3D imaging techniques), are highlighted. With the in-depth understanding on the atomic-scale ion storage/release mechanisms, more guidance is given to researchers for further design and optimization of anode nanomaterials. Finally, some possible challenges and promising future directions for enhancing LIBs' capacity are provided along with the authors personal viewpoints in this research field.

Abstract
In situ weaving an all-carbon graphdiyne coat on a silicon anode is scalably realized under ultralow temperature (25 °C). This economical strategy not only constructs 3D all-carbon mechanical and conductive networks with reasonable voids for the silicon anode at one time but also simultaneously forms a robust interfacial contact among the electrode components. The intractable problems of the disintegrations in the mechanical and conductive networks and the interfacial contact caused by repeated volume variations during cycling are effectively restrained. The as-prepared electrode demostrates the advantages of silicon regarding capacity (4122 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 ) with robust capacity retention (1503 mA h g-1 ) after 1450 cycles at 2 A g-1 , and a commercial-level areal capacity up to 4.72 mA h cm-2 can be readily approached. Furthermore, this method shows great promises in solving the key problems in other high-energy-density anodes.

Abstract
A tri-dimensional interweaving kinked silicon nanowires (k-SiNWs) assembly, with a Ni current collector co-integrated, is evaluated as electrode configuration for lithium ion batteries. The large-scale fabrication of k-SiNWs is based on a procedure for continuous metal assisted chemical etching of Si, supported by a chemical peeling step that enables the reuse of the Si substrate. The kinks are triggered by a simple, repetitive etch-quench sequence in a HF and H2O2-based etchant. We find that the inter-locking frameworks of k-SiNWs and multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit beneficial mechanical properties with a foam-like behavior amplified by the kinks and a suitable porosity for a minimal electrode deformation upon Li insertion. In addition, ionic liquid electrolyte systems associated with the integrated Ni current collector repress the detrimental effects related to the Si-Li alloying reaction, enabling high cycling stability with 80% capacity retention (1695 mAh/gSi) after 100 cycles. Areal capacities of 2.42 mAh/cm2 (1276 mAh/gelectrode) can be achieved at the maximum evaluated thickness (corresponding to 1.3 mgSi/cm2). This work emphasizes the versatility of the metal assisted chemical etching for the synthesis of advanced Si nanostructures for high performance lithium ion battery electrodes.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries have been regarded as one of the most promising energy storage devices, and development of low-cost batteries with high energy density is highly desired so that the cost per watt-hour ($/Wh) can be minimized. In this work, we report using ball-milled low-cost silicon (Si) as the starting material and subsequent carbon coating to produce low-cost hierarchical carbon-coated (HCC) Si. The obtained particles prepared from different Si sources all show excellent cycling performance of over 1000 mAh/g after 1000 cycles. Interestingly, we observed in situ formation of porous Si, and it is well confined in the carbon shell based on postcycling characterization of the hierarchical carbon-coated metallurgical Si (HCC-M-Si) particles. In addition, lightweight and free-standing electrodes consisting of the HCC-M-Si particles and carbon nanofibers were fabricated, which achieved 1015 mAh/g after 100 cycles based on the total mass of the electrodes. Compared with conventional electrodes, the lightweight and free-standing electrodes significantly improve the energy density by 745%. Furthermore, LiCoO2 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathodes were used to pair up with the HCC-M-Si anode to fabricate full cells. With LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 as cathode, an energy density up to 547 Wh/kg was achieved by the high-voltage full cell. After 100 cycles, the full cell with a LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode delivers 46% more energy density than that of the full cell with a LiCoO2 cathode. The systematic investigation on low-cost Si anodes together with their applications in lightweight free-standing electrodes and high-voltage full cells will shed light on the development of high-energy Si-based lithium-ion batteries for real applications.

Abstract
With extremely high specific capacity, silicon has attracted enormous interest as a promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, silicon suffers from a large volume variation during charge/discharge cycles, which leads to the pulverization of the silicon and subsequent separation from the conductive additives, eventually resulting in rapid capacity fading and poor cycle life. Here, it is shown that the utilization of a self-healable supramolecular polymer, which is facilely synthesized by copolymerization of tert-butyl acrylate and an ureido-pyrimidinone monomer followed by hydrolysis, can greatly reduce the side effects caused by the volume variation of silicon particles. The obtained polymer is demonstrated to have an excellent self-healing ability due to its quadruple-hydrogen-bonding dynamic interaction. An electrode using this self-healing supramolecular polymer as binder exhibits an initial discharge capacity as high as 4194 mAh g-1 and a Coulombic efficiency of 86.4%, and maintains a high capacity of 2638 mAh g-1 after 110 cycles, revealing significant improvement of the electrochemical performance in comparison with that of Si anodes using conventional binders. The supramolecular binder can be further applicable for silicon/carbon anodes and therefore this supramolecular strategy may increase the choice of amendable binders to improve the cycle life and energy density of high-capacity Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Post-transition elements, together with zinc-group metals and their alloys belong to an emerging class of materials with fascinating characteristics originating from their simultaneous metallic and liquid natures. These metals and alloys are characterised by having low melting points (i.e. between room temperature and 300 °C), making their liquid state accessible to practical applications in various fields of physical chemistry and synthesis. These materials can offer extraordinary capabilities in the synthesis of new materials, catalysis and can also enable novel applications including microfluidics, flexible electronics and drug delivery. However, surprisingly liquid metals have been somewhat neglected by the wider research community. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals underlying liquid metal research, including liquid metal synthesis, surface functionalisation and liquid metal enabled chemistry. Furthermore, we discuss phenomena that warrant further investigations in relevant fields and outline how liquid metals can contribute to exciting future applications.

Abstract
Silicon holds great promise as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries with higher energy density; its implication, however, is limited by rapid capacity fading. A catalytic growth of graphene cages on composite particles of magnesium oxide and silicon, which are made by magnesiothermic reduction reaction of silica particles, is reported herein. Catalyzed by the magnesium oxide, graphene cages can be conformally grown onto the composite particles, leading to the formation of hollow graphene-encapsulated Si particles. Such materials exhibit excellent lithium storage properties in terms of high specific capacity, remarkable rate capability (890 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ), and good cycling retention over 200 cycles with consistently high coulombic efficiency at a current density of 1 A g-1 . A full battery test using LiCoO2 as the cathode demonstrates a high energy density of 329 Wh kg-1 .

Abstract
Building stable and efficient electron and ion transport pathways are critically important for energy storage electrode materials and systems. Herein, a scallop-inspired shell engineering strategy is proposed and demonstrated to confine high volume change silicon microparticles toward the construction of stable and high volumetric capacity binder-free lithium battery anodes. As for each silicon microparticle, the methodology involves an inner sealed but adaptable overlapped graphene shell, and an outer open hollow shell consisting of interconnected reduced graphene oxide, mimicking the scallop structure. The inner closed shell enables simultaneous stabilization of the interfaces of silicon with both carbon and electrolyte, substantially facilitates efficient and rapid transport of both electrons and lithium ions from/to silicon, the outer open hollow shell creates stable and robust transport paths of both electrons and lithium ions throughout the electrode without any sophisticated additives. The resultant self-supported electrode has achieved stable cycling with rapidly increased coulombic efficiency in the early stage, superior rate capability, and remarkably high volumetric capacity upon a facile pressing process. The rational design and engineering of graphene shells of the silicon microparticles developed can provide guidance for the development of a wide range of other high capacity but large volume change electrochemically active materials.

Abstract
New binder concepts have lately demonstrated improvements in the cycle life of high-capacity silicon anodes. Those binder designs adopt adhesive functional groups to enhance affinity with silicon particles and 3D network conformation to secure electrode integrity. However, homogeneous distribution of silicon particles in the presence of a substantial volumetric content of carbonaceous components (i.e., conductive agent, graphite, etc.) is still difficult to achieve while the binder maintains its desired 3D network. Inspired by mucin, the amphiphilic macromolecular lubricant, secreted on the hydrophobic surface of gastrointestine to interface aqueous serous fluid, here, a renatured DNA-alginate amphiphilic binder for silicon and silicon-graphite blended electrodes is reported. Mimicking mucin's structure comprised of a hydrophobic protein backbone and hydrophilic oligosaccharide branches, the renatured DNA-alginate binder offers amphiphilicity from both components, along with a 3D fractal network structure. The DNA-alginate binder facilitates homogeneous distribution of electrode components in the electrode as well as its enhanced adhesion onto a current collector, leading to improved cyclability in both silicon and silicon-graphite blended electrodes.

Abstract
Lithium sulfonate-grafted poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoro propylene) P(VDF-HFP) ionomers are synthesized through covalent attachment of taurine and used as binder for the LiFePO4 cathode of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs). The incorporation of the ionomer binders will add ionic conducting channels inside the electrodes, and prevent electrolyte depletion during rapid charge-discharge processes. It leads to an improved performance of LIBs using the ionomer binders including cycling stability and rate capability compared to that of LIBs using non-ionic binders (PVDF and PVDF-HFP). Therefore, the lithium sulfonate-grafted P(VDF-HFP) ionomers offer a new route to develop high-power LIBs.

Abstract
Silicon is considered as one of the most favorable anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Nanoporous silicon is synthesized via a green, facile, and controllable vacuum distillation method from the commercial Mg2Si alloy. Nanoporous silicon is formed by the evaporation of low boiling point Mg. In this method, the magnesium metal from the Mg2Si alloy can be recycled. The pore sizes of nanoporous silicon can be secured by adjusting the distillated temperature and time. The optimized nanoporous silicon (800 °C, 0.5 h) delivers a discharge capacity of 2034 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1 for 100 cycles, a cycling stability with more than 1180 mA h g-1 even after 400 cycles at 1000 mA g-1, and a rate capability of 855 mA h g-1 at 5000 mA g-1. The electrochemical properties might be ascribed to its porous structure, which may accommodate large volume change during the cycling process. These results suggest that the green, scalable, and controllable approach may offer a pathway for the commercialization of high-performance Si anodes. This method may also be extended to construct other nanoporous materials.

Abstract
Polymeric binder is extremely important for Si-based anode in lithium-ion batteries due to large volume variation during charging/discharging process. Here, natural rubber-incorporated chitosan networks were designed as a binder material to obtain both adhesion and elasticity. Chitosan could strongly anchor Si particles through hydrogen bonding, while the natural rubber could stretch reversibly during the volume variation of Si particles, resulting in high cyclic performance. The prepared electrode exhibited the specific capacities of 1350 mAh/g after 1600 cycles at the current density of 8 A/g and 2310 mAh/g after 500 cycles at the current density of 1 A/g. Furthermore, the cycle test with limiting lithiation capacity was conducted to study the optimal binder properties at varying degree of the volume expansion of silicon, and it was found that the elastic property of binder material was strongly required when the large volume expansion of Si occurred.

Abstract
Developing high-power cathodes is crucial to construct next-generation quick-charge batteries for electric transportation and grid applications. However, this mainly relies on nanoengineering strategies at the expense of low scalability and high battery cost. Another option is provided herein to build high-power cathodes by exploiting inexpensive bulk graphite as the active electrode material, where anion intercalation is involved. With the assistance of a strong alginate binder, the disintegration problem of graphite cathodes due to the large volume variation of >130% is well suppressed, making it possible to investigate the intrinsic electrochemical behavior and to elucidate the charge storage kinetics of graphite cathodes. Ultrahigh power capability up to 42.9 kW kg-1 at the energy density of >300 Wh kg-1 (based on graphite mass) and long cycling life over 10 000 cycles are achieved, much higher than those of conventional cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. A self-activating and capacitive anion intercalation into graphite is discovered for the first time, making graphite a new intrinsic intercalation-pseudocapacitance cathode material. The finding highlights the kinetical difference of anion intercalation (as cathode) from cation intercalation (as anode) into graphitic carbon materials, and new high-power energy storage devices will be inspired.

Abstract
Alloying-type materials are promising anodes for high-performance sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of their high capacities and low Na-ion insertion potentials. However, the typical candidates, such as P, Sn, Sb, and Pb, suffer from severe volume changes (≈293-487%) during the electrochemical reactions, leading to inferior cycling performances. Here, a high-rate and ultrastable alloying-type anode based on the rolled-up amorphous Si nanomembranes is demonstrated. The rolled-up amorphous Si nanomembranes show a very small volume change during the sodiation/desodiation processes and deliver an excellent rate capability and ultralong cycle life up to 2000 cycles with 85% capacity retention. The structural evolution and pseudocapacitance contribution are investigated by using the ex situ characterization techniques combined with kinetics analysis. Furthermore, the mechanism of efficient sodium-ion storage in amorphous Si is kinetically analyzed through an illustrative atomic structure with dangling bonds, offering a new perspective on understanding the sodium storage behavior. These results suggest that nanostructured amorphous Si is a promising anode material for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Silicon has proved to be a promising anode material of high-specific capacity for the next-generation lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, during repeated discharge/charge cycles, Si-based electrodes, especially those in microscale size, pulverize and lose electrical contact with the current collectors due to large volume expansion. Here, we introduce a general method to synthesize Cu@M (M = Si, Al, C, SiO2, Si3N4, Ag, Ti, Ta, SnIn2O5, Au, V, Nb, W, Mg, Fe, Ni, Sn, ZnO, TiN, Al2O3, HfO2, and TiO2) core-shell nanowire arrays on Cu substrates. The resulting Cu@Si nanowire arrays were employed as LIB anodes that can be reused via HCl etching and H2-reduction. Multishelled Cu@Si@Cu microparticles supported on 3D Cu current collectors were further prepared as stable and binder-free LIB anodes. This 3D Cu@Si@Cu structure allows the interior conductive Cu network to effectively accommodate the volume expansion of the electrode and facilitates the contact between the Cu@Si@Cu particles and the current collectors during the repeated insertion/extraction of lithium ions. As a result, the 3D Cu@Si@Cu microparticles at a high Si-loading of 1.08 mg/cm2 showed a capacity retention of 81% after 200 cycles. In addition, charging tests of 3D Cu@Si@Cu-LiFePO4 full cells by a triboelectric nanogenerator with a pulsed current demonstrated that LIBs with silicon anodes can effectively store energy delivered by mechanical energy harvesters.

Abstract
A carbon nanotube (CNT) web electrode comprising magnetite spheres and few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWNTs) linked by the carboxylated conjugated polymer, poly[3-(potassium-4-butanoate) thiophene] (PPBT), was designed to demonstrate benefits derived from the rational consideration of electron/ion transport coupled with the surface chemistry of the electrode materials components. To maximize transport properties, the approach introduces monodispersed spherical Fe3O4 (sFe3O4) for uniform Li+ diffusion and a FWNT web electrode frame that affords characteristics of long-ranged electronic pathways and porous networks. The sFe3O4 particles were used as a model high-capacity energy active material, owing to their well-defined chemistry with surface hydroxyl (-OH) functionalities that provide for facile detection of molecular interactions. PPBT, having a π-conjugated backbone and alkyl side chains substituted with carboxylate moieties, interacted with the FWNT π-electron-rich and hydroxylated sFe3O4 surfaces, which enabled the formation of effective electrical bridges between the respective components, contributing to efficient electron transport and electrode stability. To further induce interactions between PPBT and the metal hydroxide surface, polyethylene glycol was coated onto the sFe3O4 particles, allowing for facile materials dispersion and connectivity. Additionally, the introduction of carbon particles into the web electrode minimized sFe3O4 aggregation and afforded more porous FWNT networks. As a consequence, the design of composite electrodes with rigorous consideration of specific molecular interactions induced by the surface chemistries favorably influenced electrochemical kinetics and electrode resistance, which afforded high-performance electrodes for battery applications.
