Abstract
Porous materials, characterized by their controllable pore size, high specific surface area, and controlled space functionality, have become cross-scale structures with microenvironment effects and multiple functions and have gained tremendous attention in the fields of catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicine. They have evolved from initial nanopores to multiscale pore-cavity designs with yolk-shell, multishells, or asymmetric structures, such as bottle-shaped, multichambered, and branching architectures. Various synthesis strategies have been developed for the interfacial engineering of porous structures, including bottom-up approaches by using liquid-liquid or liquid-solid interfaces "templating" and top-down approaches toward chemical tailoring of polymers with different cross-linking degrees, as well as interface transformation using the Oswald ripening, Kirkendall effect, or atomic diffusion and rearrangement methods. These techniques permit the design of functional porous materials with diverse microenvironment effects, such as the pore size effect, pore enrichment effect, pore isolation and synergistic effect, and pore local field enhancement effect, for enhanced applications. In this review, we delve into the bottom-up and top-down interfacial-oriented synthesis approaches of porous structures with advanced structures and microenvironment effects. We also discuss the recent progress in the applications of these collaborative effects and structure-activity relationships in the areas of catalysis, energy storage, electrochemical conversion, and biomedicine. Finally, we outline the persisting obstacles and prospective avenues in terms of controlled synthesis and functionalization of porous engineering. The perspectives proposed in this paper may contribute to promote wider applications in various interdisciplinary fields within the confined dimensions of porous structures.

Abstract
Cyclized polyacrylonitrile (cPAN) with decently flexible, elastic, and conductive properties is a promising substrate or binder material for flexible devices. However, it is infeasible to accommodate the large volume expansion and contribute the exceptional rate capability of silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries only counting on the limited elasticity and conductivity of cPAN. Herein, we report a robust silicon/carbon-cPAN-graphene (SC-CP-G) composite membrane with excellent flexibility based on a multifunctional structure design in multiple dimensions, which can be used as a free-standing integrated anode for lithium ion batteries. In this integrated electrode, silicon nanoparticles are encapsulated in porous carbon with in situ formed confined space, and the silicon/carbon particles are further embedded in cPAN nanofibers, which are inextricably interwoven with a reduced graphene oxide film, forming an interpenetrating network architecture. The unique hierarchical and functional structure design greatly improves the mechanical performance, cycling stability, and capacity accessibility of silicon electrodes, delivering a specific capacity of 1847 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 and a capacity retention of 87% after 150 cycles.

Abstract
A large variety of synthetic methods have been developed for hierarchically porous materials by which the performance of a wide range of applications can be dramatically enhanced. Herein, hierarchically porous micropillar arrays are demonstrated by employing electrochemical etching to silicon micropillars. The approach relies on the steering of current flow through the three-dimensional silicon-electrolyte interface to enable nanopores to grow on the entire surface of the micropillars, simultaneously. The pores grow perpendicular to the surface of the micropillars, whereas the pore diameter and porosity vary depending on the locations of the surfaces. The finite element analysis shows that the spatial variation of the pore diameter and porosity is determined by the distribution of current density. Further, the thickness of the porous layer can be tuned by etching time so that sponge-like porous structures are conveniently obtained by regulating the etching time. In addition to the effect of current density flowing through the etched surfaces, the growth of pores also depends on the crystal orientations of the etched surfaces. The etching results on square micropillar arrays and microgroove arrays show that the growth direction and rate of nanopores inside the microstructure also depend on the exposed crystal planes. The facile characteristics of the fabrication method can serve as an effective route for a wide range of applications of porous materials with enhanced capabilities.

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
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
In this paper, bifunctional catalysts consisting of perovskite LaCo0.8Fe0.2O3 nanowires (LCFO NWs) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets were prepared for use in lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) battery cathodes. The prepared LCFO@rGO composite was explored as a cathode catalyst for Li-O2 batteries, resulting in an outstanding discharge capacity (ca. 7088.2 mAh g-1) at the first cycle. Moreover, a high stability of the O2-cathode with the LCFO@rGO catalyst was achieved over 56 cycles under the capacity limit of 500 mAh g-1 with a rate of 200 mA g-1, as compared to the Ketjenblack carbon and LCFO NWs. The enhanced electrochemical performance suggests that these hybrid composites of perovskite LCFO NWs with rGO nanosheets could be a perspective bifunctional catalyst for the cathode oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions in the development of next-generation Li-O2 battery cathodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-iodine batteries with abundant raw materials and low cost are promising electrochemical energy storage systems. Herein, we demonstrate that anchoring iodine to N-doped hollow carbon fold-hemisphere (N-FHS) is highly efficient to overcome slow kinetics and low stability of iodine cathode in lithium-iodine batteries. For the first time, significant effects of carbon framework architecture on the lithium storage performance of iodine cathode are studied in detail. Notably, the fold-hemisphere (N-FHS) is more effective than the similar architectures, such as hollow sphere (N-S) or hemisphere (N-HS), in modifying slow ion transport capability and fast structure deterioration. The superior property of iodine@N-FHS is associated with its highly porous structure and strong interconnection to iodine. The iodine deterioration mechanism in lithium-iodine battery is analyzed, and the deterioration processes of iodine in different carbon frameworks during cycling are investigated. This work opens a new avenue to solve the key problems in lithium-iodine batteries, allowing it an important candidate for energy storage.

Abstract
Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) CoFe2O4 (CFO) catalysts were prepared by using the colloidal crystal templating method to be used as bifunctional catalysts of Li-O2 battery positive electrodes. In order to study the relationship between the macropore diameter and charge/discharge behavior, 3DOM CFO catalysts with two different pore diameters of 140 and 60 nm were prepared. The physicochemical properties of the 3DOM CFO catalysts were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. When the 3DOM CFO catalyst with a pore diameter of 140 nm (CFO@140) was used in the O2-electrode of Li-O2 batteries, it exhibited a substantially enhanced discharge capacity (ca. 11 658.5 mA h g-1) in the first cycle. Moreover, the Li-O2 cells with the CFO@140 catalyst showed cycling stability over 47 cycles at a limited capacity of 500 mA h g-1 with a reduced potential polarization of 1.13 V, as compared with that with Ketjen Black carbon and the 3DOM CFO of 60 nm pore diameter (CFO@60). Their high cycling stability, low overpotential, high round-trip efficiency, and high rate performance suggest that these 3DOM CFO catalysts could be promising O2-electrode catalysts for next-generation lithium-oxygen batteries.

Abstract
Biochemistry-directed synthesis of functional nanomaterials has attracted great interest in energy storage, catalysis and other applications. The unique ability of biological systems to guide molecule self-assembling facilitates the construction of distinctive architectures with desirable physicochemical characteristics. Herein, we report a biochemistry-directed "bottom-up" approach to construct hollow porous microspheres of polyanion materials for sodium ion batteries. Two kinds of polyanions, i.e. Na3V2(PO4)3 and Na3.12Fe2.44(P2O7)2, are employed as cases in this study. The microalgae cell realizes the formation of a spherical "bottom" bio-precursor. Its tiny core is subjected to destruction and its tough shell tends to carbonize upon calcination, resulting in the hollow porous microspheres for the "top" product. The nanoscale crystals of the polyanion materials are tightly enwrapped by the highly-conductive framework in the hollow microsphere, resulting in the hierarchical nano-microstructure. The whole formation process is disclosed as a "bottom-up" mechanism. Moreover, the biochemistry-directed self-assembly process is confirmed to play a crucial role in the construction of the final architecture. Taking advantage of the well-defined hollow-microsphere architecture, the abundant interior voids and the highly-conductive framework, polyanion materials show favourable sodium-intercalation kinetics. Both materials are capable of high-rate long-term cycling. After five hundred cycles at 20 C and 10 C, Na3V2(PO4)3 and Na(3.12)Fe2.44(P2O7)2 retain 96.2% and 93.1% of the initial capacity, respectively. Therefore, the biochemistry-directed technique provides a low-cost, highly-efficient and widely applicable strategy to produce high-performance polyanion-based cathodes for sodium ion batteries.

Abstract
Hollow silica-copper-carbon (H-SCC) nanocomposites are first synthesized using copper metal-organic frameworks as skeletons to form Cu-MOF@SiO(2) and then subjected to heat treatment. In the composites, the hollow structure and the void space from the collapse of the MOF skeleton can accommodate the huge volume change, buffer the mechanical stress caused by lithium ion insertion/extraction and maintain the structural integrity of the electrode and a long cycling stability. The ultrafine copper with a uniform size of around 5 nm and carbon with homogeneous distribution from the decomposition of the MOF skeleton can not only enhance the electrical conductivity of the composite and preserve the structural and interfacial stabilization, but also suppress the aggregation of silica nanoparticles and cushion the volume change. In consequence, the resulting material as an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) delivers a reversible capacity of 495 mA h g(-1) after 400 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g(-1). The synthetic method presented in this paper provides a facile and low-cost strategy for the large-scale production of hollow silica/copper/carbon nanocomposites as an anode in LIBs.
