Abstract
Multichannel carbon nanofibers (MCNFs), characterized by complex hierarchical structures comprising multiple channels or compartments, have attracted considerable attention owing to their high porosity, large surface area, good directionality, tunable composition, and low density. In recent years, electrospinning (ESP) has emerged as a popular synthetic technique for producing MCNFs with exceptional properties from various polymer blends, driven by phase separation between polymers. These interactions, including van der Waals forces, covalent bonding, and ionic interactions, are crucial for MCNF production. Over time, the applications of MCNFs have expanded, making them one of the most intriguing topics in material research. MCNFs with tailored porous channels, controllable dimensions, confined spaces, high surface areas, designed architectures, and easy electrolyte access to active walls are considered optimal for electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies. This review provides an exhaustive overview of the working principle, synthesis methods, and structural properties of MCNFs, and examines their advantages, limitations, and potential for producing multichannel architectures. Furthermore, this review explores the relationship between the composition of MCNF electrode materials for EES devices (supercapacitors and batteries) and their electrochemical performance. This review also addresses future directions and challenges in the development and utilization of MCNFs and provides insights into potential research avenues for advancing this exciting field.

Abstract
Ultrasmall mesoporous nanoparticles (<50 nm), a unique porous nanomaterial, have been widely studied in many fields in the last decade owing to the abundant advantages, involving rich mesopores, low density, high surface area, numerous reaction sites, large cavity space, ultrasmall size, etc. This paper presents a review of recent advances in the preparation, functionalization, and applications of ultrasmall inorganic mesoporous nanoparticles for the first time. The soft monomicelles-directed method, in contrast to the hard-template and template-free methods, is more flexible in the synthesis of mesoporous nanoparticles. This is because the amphiphilic micelle has tunable functional blocks, controlled molecule masses, configurations and mesostructures. Focus on the soft micelle directing method, monomicelles could be classified into four types, i.e., the Pluronic-type block copolymer monomicelles, laboratory-synthesized amphiphilic block copolymers monomicelles, the single-molecule star-shaped block copolymer monomicelles, and the small-molecule anionic/cationic surfactant monomicelles. This paper also reviews the functionalization of the inner mesopores and the outer surfaces, which includes constructing the yolkshell structures (encapsulated nanoparticles), anchoring the active components packed on the shell and building an asymmetric Janus architecture. Then, several representative applications, involving catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicines are presented. Finally, the prospects and challenges of controlled synthesis and large-scale applications of ultrasmall mesoporous nanoparticles in the future are foreseen.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the predominant energy storage power source. However, the urgent issues of enhancing electrochemical performance, prolonging lifetime, preventing thermal runaway-caused fires, and intelligent application are obstacles to their applications. Herein, bio-inspired electrodes owning spatiotemporal management of self-healing, fast ion transport, fire-extinguishing, thermoresponsive switching, recycling, and flexibility are overviewed comprehensively, showing great promising potentials in practical application due to the significantly enhanced durability and thermal safety of LIBs. Taking advantage of the self-healing core-shell structures, binders, capsules, or liquid metal alloys, these electrodes can maintain the mechanical integrity during the lithiation-delithiation cycling. After the incorporation of fire-extinguishing binders, current collectors, or capsules, flame retardants can be released spatiotemporally during thermal runaway to ensure safety. Thermoresponsive switching electrodes are also constructed though adding thermally responsive components, which can rapidly switch LIB off under abnormal conditions and resume their functions quickly when normal operating conditions return. Finally, the challenges of bio-inspired electrode designs are presented to optimize the spatiotemporal management of LIBs. It is anticipated that the proposed electrodes with spatiotemporal management will not only promote industrial application, but also strengthen the fundamental research of bionics in energy storage.

Abstract
Controlled synthesis of lead-halide perovskite crystals is challenging yet attractive because of the pivotal role played by the crystal structure and growth conditions in regulating their properties. This study introduces data-driven strategies for the controlled synthesis of oriented quasi-spherical CsPbBr3, alongside an investigation into the synthesis mechanism. High-throughput rapid characterization of absorption spectra and color under ultraviolet illumination was conducted using 23 possible ligands for the synthesis of CsPbBr3 crystals. The links between the absorption spectra slope (difference in the absorbance at 400 nm and 450 nm divided by a wavelength interval of 50 nm) and crystal size were determined through statistical analysis of more than 100 related publications. Big data analysis and machine learning were employed to investigate a total of 688 absorption spectra and 652 color values, revealing correlations between synthesis parameters and properties. Ex situ characterization confirmed successful synthesis of oriented quasi-spherical CsPbBr3 perovskites using polyvinylpyrrolidone and Acacia. Density functional theory calculations highlighted strong adsorption of Acacia on the (110) facet of CsPbBr3. Optical properties of the oriented quasi-spherical perovskites prepared with these data-driven strategies were significantly improved. This study demonstrates that data-driven controlled synthesis facilitates morphology-controlled perovskites with excellent optical properties.

Abstract
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are thought of as portable, sustainable, and non-polluting energy devices. The exploration of efficient and affordable catalysts for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) is significant for the industrial application of DMFCs. In this study, nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (HCS) derived from polydopamine were proposed for the catalyst support for platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) for serving as the anode catalyst for DMFCs, and a composite support material was fabricated by in-situ oxidation of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT) with HCS to get core-shell structured poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT)-embellished hollow carbon spheres (HCS) (PProDOT/HCS) for further improving the catalytic activity for supported catalyst. The results indicated that the platinum (Pt) on the surface of HCS was well dispersed, and the Pt became smaller and more evenly distributed with the introduction of PProDOT. Simultaneously, the Schottky junction formed between PProDOT and Pt NPs contributes to enhanced charge transfer and catalytic activity of the catalyst. Notably, the core-shell structure of the ternary catalyst, its excellent charge transfer capability, and the interaction between platinum and the support contribute to its high electrocatalytic activity. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the PProDOT/HCS/Pt catalyst exhibited a mass activity of 1169.6 mA mg-1Pt for methanol oxidation in acidic electrolytes, surpassing the activity of the HCS/Pt catalyst (472.4 mA mg-1Pt) and commercial Pt/C (281.0 mA mg-1Pt).

Abstract
Hollow nanoreactors (HoNRs) have regarded as an attractive catalytic material for photocatalysis due to their exceptional capabilities in enhancing light harvesting, facilitating charge separation and transfer, and optimizing surface reactions. Developing novel HoNRs offers new options to realize controllable catalytic behavior. However, the catalytic mechanism of photocatalysis occurring in HoNRs has not yet been fully revealed. Against this backdrop, this review elaborates on three aspects: 1) the fundamental theoretical insights of HoNRs-driven photocatalytic kinetics; 2) structure-performance relationship of HoNRs to photocatalysis; 3) catalytic advantages of HoNRs in photocatalytic applications. Specifically, the review focuses on the fundamental theories of HoNRs for photocatalysis and their structural advantages for strengthening light scattering, promoting charge separation and transfer, and facilitating surface reaction kinetics, and the relationship between key structural parameters of HoNRs and their photocatalytic performance is in-depth discussed. Also, future prospects and challenges are proposed. It is anticipated that this review paper will pave the way for forthcoming investigations in the realm of HoNRs for photocatalysis.

Abstract
Highly ordered mesoporous materials with a single-crystalline structure have attracted broad interest due to their wide applications from catalysis to energy conversion/storage, but constructing them with good controllability and high yields remains a highly daunting task. Herein, we construct a new class of three-dimensionally ordered mesoporous SnO2 single crystals (3DOm-SnO2) with well-defined facets and excellent mesopore tunability. Mechanism studies demonstrate that the silanol groups on ordered silica nanospheres (3DO-SiO2) can induce the efficient heterogeneous crystallization of uniform SnO2 single crystals in its periodic voids by following the hard and soft acid and base theory, affording a much higher yield of ∼96% for 3DOm-SnO2 than that of its solid counterpart prepared in the absence of 3DO-SiO2 (∼1.5%). Benefiting from its permanent ordered mesopores and favorable electronic structure, Pd-supported 3DOm-SnO2 can efficiently catalyze the unprecedented sequential hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenylacetylene to produce 4-nitrostyrene, then 4-nitroethylbenzene, and finally 4-aminoethylbenzene. DFT calculations further reveal the favorable synergistic effect between Pd and 3DOm-SnO2 via moderate electron transfer for realizing this sequential hydrogenation reaction. Our work underlines the crucial role of silanol groups in inducing the high-yield heterogeneous crystallization of 3DOm-SnO2, shedding light on the rational design and construction of various 3DO single crystals that are of great practical significance.

Abstract
The practical applications of alkaline zinc-based batteries are challenged by poor rechargeability with an insufficient zinc utilization ratio. Herein, a sphere-confined reversible zinc deposition behavior from a free-standing Zn anode is reported, which is composed of bi-continuous ZnO-protected interconnected and hollowed Zn microspheres by the Kirkendall effect. The cross-linked Zn network with in situ formed outer ZnO shell and inner hollow space not only inhibits side reactions but also ensures long-range conductivity and accommodates shape change, which induces preferential reversible zinc dissolution-deposition process in the inner space and maintains structural integrity even under high zinc utilization ratio. As a result, the Zn electrode can be stably cycled for 390 h at a high current density of 20 mA cm-2 (60% depth of discharge), outperforming previously reported alkaline Zn anodes. A stable zinc-nickel oxide hydroxide battery with a high cumulative capacity of 8532 mAh cm-2 at 60% depth of discharge is also demonstrated.

Herein, we report a unique silicon-carbon composite fabricated by uniformly dispersing amorphous Si nanodots (SiNDs) in carbon nanospheres (SiNDs/C) that are welded on the wall of the macroporous carbon framework (MPCF) by vertical graphene (VG), labeled as MPCF@VG@SiNDs/C. The high dispersity and amorphous features of ultrasmall SiNDs (~ 0.7 nm), the flexible and directed electron/Li+ transport channels of VG, and the MPCF impart the MPCF@VG@SiNDs/C more lithium storage sites, rapid Li+ transport path, and unique low-strain property during Li+ storage. Consequently, the MPCF@VG@SiNDs/C exhibits high cycle stability (1301.4 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles without apparent decay) and high rate capacity (910.3 mAh g-1, 20 A g-1) in half cells based on industrial electrode standards. The assembled pouch full cell delivers a high energy density (1694.0 Wh L-1; 602.8 Wh kg-1) and an excellent fast-charging capability (498.5 Wh kg-1, charging for 16.8 min at 3 C). This study opens new possibilities for preparing advanced silicon-carbon composite anodes for practical applications.

Abstract
The development of sodium-ion battery (SIB) anodes is still hindered by their rapid capacity decay and poor rate capabilities. Although there have been some new materials that can be used to fabricate stable anodes, SIBs are still far from wide applications. Strategies like nanostructure construction and material modification have been used to prepare more robust SIB anodes. Among all the design strategies, the hollow structure design is a promising method in the development of advanced anode materials. In the past decade, research efforts have been devoted to modifying the synthetic route, the type of templates, and the interior structure of hollow structures with high capacity and stability. A brief introduction is made to the main material systems and classifications of hollow structural materials first. Then different morphologies of hollow structural materials for SIB anodes from the latest reports are discussed, including nanoboxes, nanospheres, yolk shells, nanotubes, and other more complex shapes. The most used templates for the synthesis of hollow structrual materials are covered and the perspectives are highlighted at the end. This review offers a comprehensive discussion of the synthesis of hollow structural materials for SIB anodes, which could be potentially of use to research areas involving hollow materials design for batteries.

Rational design of one-dimensional skin-core multilayer structure for electrospun carbon nanofibers with bicontinuous electron/ion transport toward high-performance supercapacitors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:148-158.

Abstract
The fast transport of electrons and ions within electrodes is crucial to the final electrochemical properties. Herein, we have developed a unique ultra-long one-dimensional (1D) skin-core multilayer structure based on electrospun carbon nanofibers mainly through a facile Stöber method combined with resorcinol-formaldehyde resin, which not only achieves bicontinuous electron/ion transport during the charge/discharge process, but also provides large surface area for ion adsorption. Particularly, controlling the number of active layers as well as regulating the active sites in layer both can obviously improve capacitive properties. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of the desirable architecture, such the rational-designed skin-core structural carbon nanofibers as supercapacitor electrode can deliver a high specific capacitance up to 255 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, favorable rate capability with 89% capacitance retention of initial capacitance at 8 A g-1, and excellent cycling stability with nearly 93% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles at 2 A g-1. Furthermore, the as-assembled symmetric supercapacitor devices also present a maximum energy density of 8.77 Wh kg-1 at 0.25 kW kg-1 and a maximum power density of 3.70 kW kg-1 at 6.74 Wh kg-1. Such skin-core carbon nanofibers provide an effective strategy to design high-performance supercapacitor electrode for the next-generation energy storage devices.

Abstract
The fabrication of hollow nanoelectrocatalysts with multilayered heterogeneous interfaces, derived from metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, represents a highly efficient strategy that promotes the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Within this research, we successfully synthesized a hollow nanobox of Ir-doped ZIF-67@CoFe PBA with bilayer heterointerfaces. The distinctive structure of Ir-ZIF-67@CoFe PBA provides a substantial number of active sites for reaction intermediates, resulting in improved utilization of precious metals. Furthermore, experimental results indicate the outstanding electrocatalytic performance of the optimized Ir-ZIF-67@CoFe PBA, as indicated by a mere 269 mV overpotential at 10 mA·cm-2, accompanied by a small Tafel slope of 80.1 mV·dec-1. Moreover, the Schottky junction formed between the heterojunction and Ir within Ir-ZIF-67@CoFe PBA accelerates the electron-transfer rate, contributing to its exceptional catalytic performance compared to that of a catalyst derived solely from ZIF-67. This distinctive feature of the catalyst holds tremendous application value.

Abstract
High-performance metabolic diagnosis-based laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) improves the precision diagnosis of diseases and subsequent treatment. Inorganic matrices are promising for the detection of metabolites by LDI-MS, while the structure and component impacts of the matrices on the LDI process are still under investigation. Here, we designed a multiple-shelled ZnMn2O4/(Co, Mn)(Co, Mn)2O4 (ZMO/CMO) as the matrix from calcined MOF-on-MOF for detecting metabolites in LDI-MS and clarified the synergistic impacts of multiple-shells and the heterostructure on LDI efficiency. The ZMO/CMO heterostructure allowed 3-5 fold signal enhancement compared with ZMO and CMO with the same morphology. Furthermore, the ZMO/CMO heterostructure with a triple-shelled hollow structure displayed a 3-fold signal enhancement compared to its nanoparticle counterpart. Taken together, the triple-shelled hollow ZMO/CMO exhibits 102-fold signal enhancement compared to the commercial matrix products (e.g., DHB and DHAP), allowing for sensitive metabolic profiling in bio-detection. We directly extracted metabolic patterns by the optimized triple-shelled hollow ZMO/CMO particle-assisted LDI-MS within 1 s using 100 nL of serum and used machine learning as the readout to distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma from healthy controls with the area under the curve value of 0.984. Our approach guides us in matrix design for LDI-MS metabolic analysis and drives the development of a nanomaterial-based LDI-MS platform toward precision diagnosis.

Abstract
With the advantages of high energy/power density, long cycling life and low cost, dual-carbon potassium ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) have great potential in the field of energy storage. Here, a novel bilayer-shelled N, O-doped hollow porous carbon microspheres (NOHPC) anode has been prepared by a self-template method, which is consisted of a dense thin shell and a hollow porous spherical core. Excitingly, the NOHPC anode possesses a high K-storage capacity of 325.9 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and a capacity of 201.1 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 6000 cycles. In combination with ex situ characterizations and density functional theory calculations, the high reversible capacity has been demonstrated to be attributed to the co-doping of N/O heteroatoms and porous structure improved K+ adsorption and intercalation capabilities, and the stable long-cycling performance originating from the bilayer-shelled hollow porous carbon sphere structure. Meanwhile, the hollow porous activated carbon microspheres (HPAC) cathode with a high specific surface area (1472.65 m2 g-1) deriving from etching NOHPC with KOH, contributing to a high electrochemical adsorption capacity of 71.2 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1. Notably, the NOHPC//HPAC PIHC delivers a high energy density of 90.1 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 939.6 W kg-1 after 6000 consecutive charge-discharge cycles.

Abstract
The biotoxins with high toxicity have the potential to be manufactured into biochemical weapons, seriously threatening international public security. Developing robust and applicable sample pretreatment platforms and reliable quantification methods has been recognized as the most promising and practical approach to solving these problems. Through the integration of the hollow-structured microporous organic networks (HMONs) as the imprinting carriers, we proposed a molecular imprinting platform (HMON@MIP) with enhanced adsorption performance in terms of specificity, imprinting cavity density as well as adsorption capacity. The HMONs core of MIPs provided a hydrophobic surface that enhanced the adsorption of biotoxin template molecules during the imprinting process, resulting in an increased imprinting cavity density. The HMON@MIP adsorption platform could produce a series of MIP adsorbents by changing the biotoxin template, such as aflatoxin and sterigmatocystin, and showed promising generalizability. The limits of detection (LOD) of the HMON@MIP-based preconcentration method for AFT B1 and ST were 4.4 and 6.7 ng L-1, respectively, and the method was applicable to food sample with satisfied recoveries of 81.2-95.1%. And the specific recognition and adsorption sites left on HMON@MIP by the imprinting process can achieve outstanding selectivity for AFT B1 and ST. The developed imprinting platforms hold great potential for application in the identification and determination of various food hazards in complex food sample matrices and contribute to precise food safety inspection.

Abstract
The design of water-stable photo and electrocatalysts of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for its promising catalytic applications at long-term irradiations or persisted current loads is extremely necessary but still remains as challenging. A limited number of reports on Ti-MOF-based catalysts for water splitting are only available to explain and understand the correlation between the nature of materials and MOFs array. Herein, spherical Ti-MOFs and corresponding partially annealed hollow core-shell Ti-MOFs (Ti-MOF/D) are designed and the correlation with their photo(electro)catalytic water splitting performance is evaluated. The switchable valence state of Ti for the Ti-MOF as a function of molecular bonding is the possible reason behind the observed photocatalytic hydrogen generation and light-harvesting ability of the system. Besides, the defect state, solid core-shell mesoporous structure, and active sites of Ti-MOF help to trap the charge carriers and the reduction of the recombination process. This phenomenon is absent for hollow core-shells Ti-MOF/D spheres due to the rigid TiO2 outer surface although there is a contradiction in surface area with Ti-MOF. Considering the diversity of Ti-MOF and Ti-MOF/D, further novel research can be designed using this way to manipulate their properties as per the requirements.

Abstract
Multistage amorphous materials have promising applications in the catalytic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Herein, an amorphous sheet-raspberry sandwich-like ZnCo2S4@MnCo2S4/CP composite material was rationally designed and developed as a counter electrode (CE) for DSSCs by applying a three-step hydrothermal method. The first development of the amorphous composites as CEs resulted in lower charge transfer resistance at the CE/electrolyte interface and improved the fill factor and short-circuit current density. The excellent catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the large number of unsaturated coordination sites generated by the undirected structure of the lamellar-raspberry intercalated amorphous material, the smooth ion transport interface with a self-built corrosion-resistant layer, coupled with the dual catalytic performance of the Zn, Co, and Mn composites, and the good electrical conductivity of the C substrate. When ZnCo2S4@MnCo2S4/CP was used as the CE on a Ti substrate, the photoelectric conversion efficiency was as high as 11.68% (Voc = 0.821, Jsc = 20.14 mA cm-2, and FF = 0.71) under 100 mW cm-2 light illumination. This paper provides a design idea for amorphous materials in terms of catalytic performance and a method for developing alternatives to Pt electrodes.

Abstract
Lithium-organosulfur (Li-OS) batteries, despite possessing high theoretical specific capacity, encounter a few practical challenges, including unsatisfactory lifespan and low active material utilization under realistic conditions. Here, diisoropyl xanthogen polysulfide (DIXPS) has been selected as a model organosulfur compound to investigate the practical feasibility of Li-OS batteries under realistic conditions. A well-designed freestanding carbon sponge decorated with Fe3 N nanoparticles (C@Fe3 N) is introduced into the Li-OS cells as a scaffold for both Li and DIXPS. The lithiophilic property of the C@Fe3 N host guides uniform lithium deposition at the anode, and the catalysis of the DIXPS conversion reaction promotes the kinetics at the cathode. Impressively, the synergistic effect of C@Fe3 N leads to an extremely stable cycling performance over 1 000 cycles in a Li-OS full cell under realistic conditions.

Abstract
Multi-chambered architectures have attracted much attention due to the ability to establish multifunctional partitions in different chambers, but manipulating the chamber numbers and coupling multi-functionality within the multi-chambered mesoporous nanoparticle remains a challenge. Herein, we propose a nanodroplet remodeling strategy for the synthesis of hierarchical multi-chambered mesoporous silica nanoparticles with tunable architectures. Typically, the dual-chambered nanoparticles with a high surface area of ~469 m2 g−1 present two interconnected cavities like a calabash. Furthermore, based on this nanodroplet remodeling strategy, multiple species (magnetic, catalytic, optic, etc.) can be separately anchored in different chamber without obvious mutual-crosstalk. We design a dual-chambered mesoporous nanoreactors with spatial isolation of Au and Pd active-sites for the cascade synthesis of 2-phenylindole from 1-nitro-2-(phenylethynyl)benzene. Due to the efficient mass transfer of reactants and intermediates in the dual-chambered structure, the selectivity of the target product reaches to ~76.5%, far exceeding that of single-chambered nanoreactors (~41.3%). Multi-chambered structures have attracted great attention due to their ability to create multifunctional partitions in different chambers. Here, the authors prepared mesoporous silica nanoreactors with hierarchical chambers for catalytic cascades.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs), as an alternative and promising energy storage system, have attracted considerable attention due to the abundant reserves and low cost of sodium. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve high capacity and rate capability required for practical applications. Herein, hollow octahedral Co3Se4 particles encapsulated in reduced graphene oxide (Co3Se4@rGO) were designed and synthesized and exhibited excellent electrochemical performances as anodes of SIBs, especially rate capability. Sodiation/desodiation processes and involved mechanisms were investigated by using in situ TEM and in situ XRD. During sodiation, a crystalline Na2Se layer with numerous amorphous fine Co nanoparticles dispersed on it was observed to appear on the surface of the original Co3Se4@rGO particles, and the movable Co-Na2Se composites further migrated to the rGO network with high electron/ion dual conductivity, resulting in ultrafast sodium storage kinetics and remarkable rate performance of the Co3Se4@rGO anode evidenced by delivering a discharge capacity of 229.3 mAh g-1 at a large current density of 50 A g-1. Our findings reveal the fundamental mechanism behind the enhanced performance of the Co3Se4@rGO anode and offer valuable insights into the rational design of electrode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Co-based compounds have attracted much attention due to their competitive catalytic activities. To enhance their intrinsic electrocatalytic activity, morphology engineering is one of the effective strategies. Hollow structures have fascinating properties due to their low density and high loading capacity. In this work, we introduce a Ga-based liquid alloy as a reactive template for the synthesis of varying Co-based hollow nanoparticles. The fluidity character of the Ga-based liquid alloy facilitates the large-scale production of nanoparticles via a top-down shearing process. The pre-installed active species (here is Zn) in the liquid alloy serve as a sacrificial source to quantitatively reduce Co2+ ions and form Co-based compounds. Well-structured Ga/CoOOH core-shell nanospheres are thus successfully prepared, and more varied Co-based hollow nanoparticles can be obtained by post-treatment and reaction. Hollow structures can offer enhanced interfacial area and increased active sites, benefiting the catalytic performance. Among the prepared Co-based catalysts, CoSe2 hollow nanoparticles exhibited the best oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity with an overpotential of 340 mV at the current density of 10 mA/cm2. This work provides a novel strategy for the rational design and simple preparation of hollow nanoparticles.

Abstract
The development of highly active carbon-based bifunctional electrocatalysts for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is highly desired, but still full of challenges in rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have gained great attention for various applications due to their attractive features of structural tunability, high surface area and high porosity. Herein, a core-shell structured carbon-based hybrid electrocatalyst (H-NSC@Co/NSC), which contains high density active sites of MOF-derived shell (Co/NSC) and COF-derived hollow core (H-NSC), is successfully fabricated by direct pyrolysis of covalently-connected COF@ZIF-67 hybrid. The core-shell H-NSC@Co/NSC hybrid manifests excellent catalytic properties toward both OER and ORR with a small potential gap (∆E = 0.75 V). The H-NSC@Co/NSC assembled Zn-air battery exhibits a high power-density of 204.3 mW cm-2 and stable rechargeability, outperforming that of Pt/C+RuO2 assembled Zn-air battery. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the electronic structure of the carbon frameworks on the Co/NSC shell can be effectively modulated by the embedded Co nanoparticles (NPs), facilitating the adsorption of oxygen intermediates and leading to enhanced catalytic activity. This work will provide a strategy to design highly-efficient electrocatalysts for application in energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) with tunable direct bandgaps and interlayer spacing are attractive for energy-related applications. Semiconducting zinc chalcogenides, especially their selenides (ZnSe) and tellurides (ZnTe), with enhanced conductivity, high theoretical capacity, low operation voltage and abundance, have appeared on the horizon and receive increasing interest in terms of electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Despite the existing typical obstruction owing to the large volume change, relatively low electrical conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics into the bulk phase, several effective strategies such as compositing, doping, nanostructuring, and electrode/cell design have exhibited promising applications. We herein provide a timely and systematic overview of recent research and significant advances regarding ZnSe, ZnTe and their hybrids/composites, covering synthesis to electrode design and to applications, especially in advanced Li/Na/K-ion batteries, as well as the reaction mechanisms thereof. It is hoped that the overview will shed new light on the development of ZnSe and ZnTe for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
As one of the most appealing options for large-scale energy storage systems, the commercialization of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) has received considerable attention due to their cost effectiveness and inherent safety. A potential cathode material for the commercialization of AZIBs is the manganese-based cathode, but it suffers from poor cycle stability, owing to the Jahn–Teller effect, which leads to the dissolution of Mn in the electrolyte, as well as low electron/ion conductivity. In order to solve these problems, various strategies have been adopted to improve the stability of manganese-based cathode materials. Among those, the doping strategy has become popular, where the dopant is inserted into the intrinsic crystal structures of electrode materials, which would stabilize them and tune the electronic state of the redox center to realize high ion/electron transport. Herein, we summarize the ion doping strategy from the following aspects: (1) synthesis strategy of doped manganese-based oxides; (2) valence-dependent dopant ions in manganese-based oxides; (3) optimization mechanism of ion doping in zinc-manganese battery. Lastly, an in-depth understanding and future perspectives of ion doping strategy in electrode materials are provided for the commercialization of manganese-based zinc-ion batteries.

Strategies for Controlling or Releasing the Influence Due to the Volume Expansion of Silicon inside Si-C Composite Anode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15124264.

Abstract
Currently, silicon is considered among the foremost promising anode materials, due to its high capacity, abundant reserves, environmental friendliness, and low working potential. However, the huge volume changes in silicon anode materials can pulverize the material particles and result in the shedding of active materials and the continual rupturing of the solid electrolyte interface film, leading to a short cycle life and rapid capacity decay. Therefore, the practical application of silicon anode materials is hindered. However, carbon recombination may remedy this defect. In silicon/carbon composite anode materials, silicon provides ultra-high capacity, and carbon is used as a buffer, to relieve the volume expansion of silicon; thus, increasing the use of silicon-based anode materials. To ensure the future utilization of silicon as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries, this review considers the dampening effect on the volume expansion of silicon particles by the formation of carbon layers, cavities, and chemical bonds. Silicon-carbon composites are classified herein as coated core-shell structure, hollow core-shell structure, porous structure, and embedded structure. The above structures can adequately accommodate the Si volume expansion, buffer the mechanical stress, and ameliorate the interface/surface stability, with the potential for performance enhancement. Finally, a perspective on future studies on Si-C anodes is suggested. In the future, the rational design of high-capacity Si-C anodes for better lithium-ion batteries will narrow the gap between theoretical research and practical applications.

The practical commercial application of LSBs is mainly hindered by the severe "shuttle effect" of the lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and the serious damage of lithium dendrites. Various carbon materials with different characteristics have played an important role in overcoming the above-mentioned problems. Carbon spheres (CSs) are extensively explored to enhance the performance of LSBs owing to their superior structures. The review presents the state-of-the-art advances of CSs for advanced high-energy LSBs, including their preparation strategies and applications in inhibiting the "shuttle effect" of the LiPSs and protecting lithium anodes. The unique restriction effect of CSs on LiPSs is explained from three working mechanisms: physical confinement, chemical interaction, and catalytic conversion. From the perspective of interfacial engineering and 3D structure designing, the protective effect of CSs on the lithium anode is also analyzed. Not only does this review article contain a summary of CSs in LSBs, but also future directions and prospects are discussed. The systematic discussions and suggested directions can enlighten thoughts in the reasonable design of CSs for LSBs in near future.

Abstract
Porous particles have found widespread applications in therapeutic diagnosis, drug delivery, and tissue engineering due to their typical properties of large surface area, extensive loading capacity, and hierarchical microstructures. Attempts in this aspect are focusing on the development of effective methods to generate functional porous particles. Herein, a simple droplet microfluidics for continuously and directly generating porous particles by introducing bubble-propelled nanomotors into the system is presented. As the nanomotors can continuously generate gas bubbles in the unsolidified droplet templates, the desirable porous microparticles can be obtained after droplet polymerization. It is demonstrated that the generation process is highly controlled and the resultant microparticles show excellent porosity and monodispersity. In addition, the obtained porous microparticles can serve as microcarriers for 3D cell culture, because of their characteristic porous structures and favorable biocompatibility. Moreover, owing to the existence of oxygen in these microparticles, they can be used to improve the healing effects of wounds in the type I diabetes rat models. These remarkable features of the generation strategy and the porous microparticles point to their potential values in various biomedical fields.

Ultrafine cobalt nanoparticle-embedded leaf-like hollow N-doped carbon as an enhanced catalyst for activating monopersulfate to degrade phenol. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 606:929-940. [PMID: 34487940 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.08.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
While cobalt (Co) stands out as the most effective non-precious metal for activating monopersulfate (MPS) to degrade organic pollutants, Co nanoparticles (NPs) are easily aggregated, losing their activities. As many efforts have attempted to immobilize Co NPs on supports/substrates to minimize the aggregation issue, recently hollow-structured carbon-based materials (HSCMs) have been regarded as promising supports owing to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Herein, in this study, a special HSCM is developed by using a special type of ZIF (i.e., ZIF-L) as a precursor. Through one-step chemical etching with tannic acid (TA), the resultant product still remains leaf-like morphology of pristine ZIF-L but the inner part of this product becomes hollow, which is subsequently transformed to ultrafine Co-NP embedded hollow-structured N-doped carbon (CoHNC) via pyrolysis. Interestingly, CoHNC exhibits superior catalytic activities than CoNC (without hollow structure) and the commercial Co3O4 NPs for activating MPS to degrade phenol. The Ea value of phenol degradation by CoHNC + MPS was determined as 44.3 kJ/mol. Besides, CoHNC is also capable of effectively activating MPS to degrade phenol over multiple-cycles without any significant changes of catalytic activities, indicating that CoHNC is a promising heterogeneous catalyst for activating MPS to degrade organic pollutants in water.

Abstract
Inorganic materials have been extensively studied for visible electrochromism in the past few decades. However, the single inorganic electrochromic (EC) material commonly exhibits a single color change, leading to a narrow spectrum of modulation, which offsets or limits the maximally energy-saving ability. Here, we present a wide-spectrum modulated EC device designed by combining the complementary EC nanocomposite of manganese dioxide (MnO2) and Prussian blue (PB) for enhanced energy savings. Porous MnO2 nanostructures serve as host frameworks for the templated growth of PB, resulting in MnO2/PB nanocomposites. The complementary optical modulation ranges of MnO2 and PB enable a widen-spectrum modulation across the solar region with the development of the MnO2/PB nanocomposite. The colored MnO2/PB device exhibited an optical modulation of 32.1% in the wide solar spectrum range of 320-1100 nm and blocked 72.0% of the solar irradiance. Furthermore, fast switching responses (2.7 s for coloration and 2.1 s for bleaching) and a high coloration efficiency (83.1 cm2·C-1) of the MnO2/PB EC device are also achieved. The high EC performance of the MnO2/PB nanocomposite device provides a new strategy for the design of high-performance energy-saving EC smart windows.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is known as a promising mean of nitrogen fixation to mitigate the energy crisis and facilitate fertilizer production under mild circumstances. For electrocatalytic reactions, the design of efficient catalysts is conducive to reducing activation energy and accelerating lethargic dynamics. Among them, hollow structural materials possess cavities in their structures, which can slack off the escape rate of N2 and reaction intermediates, prolong the residence time of N2 , enrich the reaction intermediates' concentration, and shorten electron transportation path, thereby further enhancing their NRR activity. Here, the basic synthetic strategies of hollow structural materials are introduced first. Then, the recent breakthroughs in hollow structural materials as NRR catalysts are reviewed from the perspective of intrinsic, mesoscopic, and microscopic regulations, aiming to discuss how structures affect and improve the catalytic performance. Finally, the future research directions of hollow structural materials as NRR catalysts are discussed. This review is expected to provide an outlook for optimizing hollow structural NRR catalysts.

Abstract
Intricate hollow carbon structures possess vital function for anchoring polysulfides and enhancing the utilization of sulfur in room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. However, their synthesis is extremely challenging due to the complex structure. Here, a facile and efficient strategy is developed for the controllable synthesis of N/O-doped multichambered carbon nanoboxes (MCCBs) by selective etching and stepwise carbonization of ZIF-8 nanocubes. The MCCBs consist of porous carbon shells on the outside and connected carbon grids with a hollow structure on the inside, bringing about a MCCBs structure. As a sulfur host, the multichambered structure has better spatial encapsulation and integrated conductivity via the inner interconnected carbon grids, which combines the characteristics of short charge transfer path and superb physicochemical adsorption along with mechanical strength. As expected, the S@MCCBs cathode realizes decent cycle stability (0.045% capacity decay per cycle over 800 cycles at 5 A g-1) and enhanced rate performance (328 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1). Furthermore, in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation confirms the good structural stability of the S@MCCBs during the (de)sodiation process. Our work demonstrates an effective strategy for the rational design and accurate construction of intricate hollow materials for high-performance energy storage systems.

Self-templated hollow nanospheres of B-site engineered non-stoichiometric perovskite for supercapacitive energy storage via anion-intercalation mechanism. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 600:729-739. [PMID: 34051462 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.03.147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2020] [Revised: 03/21/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The continual increase in energy demand and inconsistent supply have attracted attention towards sustainable energy storage/conversion devices, such as electrochemical capacitors with high energy densities and power densities. Perovskite oxides have received significant attention as anion-intercalation electrode materials for electrochemical capacitors. In this study, hollow nanospheres of non-stoichiometric cubic perovskite fluorides, KNi1-xCoxF3-δ (x = 0.2; δ = 0.33) (KNCF-0.2) have been synthesized using a localized Ostwald ripening. The electrochemical performance of the non-stoichiometric perovskite has been studied in an aqueous 3 M KOH electrolyte to categorically investigate the fluorine-vacancy-mediated charge storage capabilities. High capacities up to 198.55 mA h g-1 or 714.8 C g-1 (equivalent to 1435 F g-1) have been obtained through oxygen anion-intercalation mechanism (peroxide pathway, O-). The results have been validated using ICP (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) analysis and cyclic voltammetry. An asymmetric supercapacitor device has been fabricated by coupling KNCF-0.2 with activated carbon to deliver a high energy density of 40 W h kg-1 as well as excellent cycling stability of 98% for 10,000 cycles. The special attributes of hollow-spherical, non-stoichiometric perovskite (KNCF-0.2) have exhibited immense promise for their usability as anion-intercalation type electrodes in supercapacitors.

Engineering Nanostructured Antimony-Based Anode Materials for Sodium Ion Batteries. COATINGS 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/coatings11101233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for energy storage due to their low cost and the large abundance of sodium resources. The search for new anode materials for SIBs has become a vital approach to satisfying the ever-growing demands for better performance with higher energy/power densities, improved safety and a longer cycle life. Recently, antimony (Sb) has been extensively researched as a promising candidate due to its high specific capacity through an alloying/dealloying process. In this review article, we will focus on different categories of the emerging Sb based anode materials with distinct sodium storage mechanisms including Sb, two-dimensional antimonene and antimony chalcogenide (Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3). For each part, we emphasize that the novel construction of an advanced nanostructured anode with unique structures could effectively improve sodium storage properties. We also highlight that sodium storage capability can be enhanced through designing advanced nanocomposite materials containing Sb based materials and other carbonaceous modification or metal supports. Moreover, the recent advances in operando/in-situ investigation of its sodium storage mechanism are also summarized. By providing such a systematic probe, we aim to stress the significance of novel nanostructures and advanced compositing that would contribute to enhanced sodium storage performance, thus making Sb based materials as promising anodes for next-generation high-performance SIBs.
