Abstract
Exploring efficient and low-cost oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) bifunctional catalysts is essential for the development of energy storage and conversion devices. Herein, enlightened by the experimentally synthesized cobalt(II) meso-tetraethynylporphyrins (Co-TEP) molecule, we designed a novel 2D covalent organic framework (COF), namely a 2D Co-TEP monolayer, by dimensional expansion. The 2D Co-TEP monolayer, with Co atoms distributed separately and stabilized by uniform pyrrolic-N coordination, features metal-nitrogen-carbon single-atom catalyst activity and shows tunable catalytic activity for the electrochemical ORR/OER by axial ligand (O, OH, Cl, CN, CH3, NO, F) modulation. By means of the state-of-the-art constant-potential first-principles computations and microkinetic simulations, we demonstrated that 2D Co-TEP-CN exhibits good ORR/OER performance in both acidic and alkaline conditions. The difference between the onset-potential for the OER and the half-wave potential for the ORR is only 0.85 V at pH = 1, smaller than that of Pt/IrO2 electrocatalysts. The good electrocatalytic performance is maintained by replacing the center metal atoms with Mn, Fe and/or Ni. Our investigation highlights the role of the pyrrolic-N coordination and the ligands in improving the catalytic activity of 2D COFs and provides new insights into the rational design of efficient bifunctional ORR/OER catalysts.

Abstract
Rechargeable metal-sulfur batteries are considered promising candidates for energy storage due to their high energy density along with high natural abundance and low cost of raw materials. However, they could not yet be practically implemented due to several key challenges: (i) poor conductivity of sulfur and the discharge product metal sulfide, causing sluggish redox kinetics, (ii) polysulfide shuttling, and (iii) parasitic side reactions between the electrolyte and the metal anode. To overcome these obstacles, numerous strategies have been explored, including modifications to the cathode, anode, electrolyte, and binder. In this review, the fundamental principles and challenges of metal-sulfur batteries are first discussed. Second, the latest research on metal-sulfur batteries is presented and discussed, covering their material design, synthesis methods, and electrochemical performances. Third, emerging advanced characterization techniques that reveal the working mechanisms of metal-sulfur batteries are highlighted. Finally, the possible future research directions for the practical applications of metal-sulfur batteries are discussed. This comprehensive review aims to provide experimental strategies and theoretical guidance for designing and understanding the intricacies of metal-sulfur batteries; thus, it can illuminate promising pathways for progressing high-energy-density metal-sulfur battery systems.

Abstract
The shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) poses a crucial challenge for commercializing lithium-sulfur batteries. The functionalization of the separator is an effective strategy for enhancing the cell lifespan through the capture and reuse of LiPSs. Herein, a novel In2O3 nanorod with an ultrathin carbon layer (In2O3@C) was coated on a polypropylene separator. The results demonstrate the adsorption and catalysis of In2O3 on polysulfides, effectively inhibiting the shuttle effect and improving the redox kinetics of LiPSs. Besides, the ultrathin carbon layer increases the reaction sites and accelerates the electrochemical reaction rate. The cell with the In2O3@C interlayer displays excellent reversibility and stability with a 0.029% capacity decay each cycle in 2000 cycles at 2C. In addition, the In2O3@C interlayer significantly improves the cell performance under high current (888.2 mA h g-1 at 2C and room temperature) and low temperature (1007.8 mA h g-1 at 0.1C and -20 °C) conditions.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries have garnered significant interest as potential energy storage systems for the future, owing to their remarkable theoretical specific capacity (1675 mA h g-1) and energy density (2600 W h kg-1). However, their development has been severely impeded by several challenges, including the low intrinsic conductivity of sulfur, volume expansion issues, and the polysulfide shuttle effect. To address these issues, polar metal compounds with nanostructures featuring hollow shells and catalytic functions have emerged as promising materials for designing advanced lithium-sulfur batteries. In this study, bimetallic selenides with varying degrees of hollowness are synthesized using a tannic acid etching and selenization strategy. By comparing the electrochemical characteristics of composite electrodes with different degrees of hollowness, an optimal semi-hollow core-shell structure is identified, implying that reasonable structural designing of metal compounds carries immense importance in improving electrochemical reactions. Moreover, the appropriate degree of hollowness effectively mitigates volume expansion issues associated with the sulfur cathode. Consequently, bimetallic selenides with a hollow core-shell structure coated with conductive MXene material exhibit superior electrochemical performance. The synergistic effect achieved through the judicious design of the hollow core-shell structure and the utilization of polar metal compounds has proved instrumental in enhancing the redox kinetics of lithium-sulfur batteries. As such, this research presents a novel avenue for the development of high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are a promising energy storage technology due to their tempting high theoretical capacity and energy density. Nevertheless, the wastage of active materials that originates from the shuttling effect of polysulfides still hinders advancement of Li-S batteries. The effective design of cathode materials is extremely pivotal to solve this thorny problem. Herein, surface engineering in covalent organic polymers (COPs) has been performed to investigate the influence of pore wall polarity on the performance of COP-based cathodes used for Li-S batteries. With the assistance of experimental investigation and theoretical calculations, performance improvement by increasing pore surface polarity and a synergy effect of the polarized functionalities, along with nano-confinement effect of the COPs, are disclosed, to which the improved performance of Li-S batteries including outstanding Coulombic efficiency (99.0 %) and extremely low capacity decay (0.08 % over 425 cycles at 1.0 C) is attributed. This work not only enlightens the designable synthesis and applications of covalent polymers as polar sulfur hosts with high utilization of active materials, but also provides a feasible guide for the design of effective cathode materials for future advanced Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have become one of the most promising new-generation energy storage systems owing to their ultrahigh energy density (2600 Wh kg-1 ), cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, their practical applications are seriously impeded by the shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and the uncontrolled dendrite growth of metallic Li, which result in rapid capacity fading and battery safety problems. A systematic and comprehensive review of the cooperative combination effect and tackling the fundamental problems in terms of cathode and anode synchronously is still lacking. Herein, for the first time, the strategies for inhibiting shuttle behavior and dendrite-free Li-S batteries simultaneously are summarized and classified into three parts, including "two-in-one" S-cathode and Li-anode host materials toward Li-S full cell, "two birds with one stone" modified functional separators, and tailoring electrolyte for stabilizing sulfur and lithium electrodes. This review also emphasizes the fundamental Li-S chemistry mechanism and catalyst principles for improving electrochemical performance; advanced characterization technologies to monitor real-time LiPS evolution are also discussed in detail. The problems, perspectives, and challenges with respect to inhibiting the shuttle effect and dendrite growth issues as well as the practical application of Li-S batteries are also proposed.

Abstract
The development of highly sophisticated biomimetic models is significant yet remains challenging in the electrochemical energy storage field. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) cells with high sulfur content and high-sulfur-loading cathodes are urgently required to meet the fast-growing demand for electronic devices. Nevertheless, such cathode materials generally suffer from large sulfur agglomeration, nonporous structure, and insufficient conductivity, leading to rapid capacity decay and low sulfur utilization. Herein, inspired by rough endoplasmic reticulum, a 2D polystyrene (PS)-brush-based (G-g-PS) superhigh-sulfur-content (96 wt%) composite(G-g-sPS@S) is fabricated via the vulcanization reaction. The vulcanized PS side-chains and their S8 composites on the nanosheet surface can efficiently provide sulfur species, and the intersheet interstitial pores can provide rapid mass-transfer channels for redox reactions of sulfur species. Furthermore, the highly sulfophilic vulcanized PS side-chains are able to effectively inhibit the shuttle effect of polysulfides and regulate their redox process. With these merits, the cells with G-g-sPS@S cathodes exhibit an ultralow decay rate of 0.02% per cycle over 400 cycles at 2 C and deliver a superior areal capacity of 12.6 mAh cm-2 even with a high sulfur loading of 10.5 mg cm-2 .

Abstract
Translating the performance of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from laboratory to macroscopic reality demands specific morphologies. Thus, the advancement in morphological modulation has recently gained some momentum. A clear understanding of nano- to macroscopic architecture is critical to determine, optimize, and improve performances of this atomically precise porous material. Along with their chemical compositions and molecular frameworks, the prospect of morphology in various applications should be discussed and highlighted. A thorough insight into morphology versus application will help produce better-engineered COFs for practical implications. 2D and 3D frameworks can be transformed into various solids such as nanospheres, thin films, membranes, monoliths, foams, etc., for numerous applications in adsorption, separation photocatalysis, the carbon dioxide reduction, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. However, the research on COF chemistry mainly focuses on correlating structure to property, structure to morphology, and structure to applications. Here, critical insights on various morphological evolution and associated applications are provided. In each case, the underlying role of morphology is unveiled. Toward the end, a correlation between morphology and application is provided for the future development of COFs.

Abstract
The potential for leakage of liquid electrolytes from magnesium (Mg) batteries represents a large hurdle to future application. Despite this, there are no efficient sensing technologies to detect the leakage of liquid electrolytes. Here, we developed a sensor using laccaic acid (L-AIEgen), a naturally occurring aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgens) isolated from the beetle Laccifer lacca. L-AIEgen showed good selectivity and sensitivity for Mg2+, a universal component of electrolytes in Mg batteries. Using L-AIEgen, we then produced a smart film (L-AIE-F) that was able to sense leakage of electrolytes from Mg batteries. L-AIE-F showed a strong "turn-on" AIE-active fluorescence at the leakage point of electrolyte from model Mg batteries. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that AIE technology has been used to sense the leakage of electrolytes.

Abstract
Transition-metal sulfides as late-model electrocatalysts usually remain inactive in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries in spite of their advantages to accelerate the rapid conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Herein, a series of cobalt-doped vanadium tetrasulfide/reduced graphene oxide (x%Co-VS4/rGO) composites with an ultrathin layered structure as an active sulfur-host material are prepared by a one-pot hydrothermal method. The well-designed two-dimensional ultrathin 3%Co-VS4/rGO with heteroatom architecture defects (defect of Co-doping and defect of S-vacancies) can significantly improve the adsorption ability on LiPSs, the electrocatalytic activity in the Li2S potentiostatic deposition, and the active sulfur reduction/oxidation conversion reactions and greatly boost the electrochemical performances of Li-S batteries. On the one hand, the ultrathin 3%Co-VS4/rGO possesses good conductivity inheriting from rGO which contributes to the capacity of internal redox reactions on lithiation from VS4. On the other hand, the hybrid architectures provide strong adsorption and excellent electrocatalytic ability on LiPSs, which benefit from the surface defects caused by heteroatom doping. The S@3%Co-VS4/rGO cathode displays a high specific capacity of 1332.6 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C and a low-capacity decay of only 0.05% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 3 C with a primary capacity of 633.1 mA h g-1. Furthermore, when the sulfur loading (single-side coating) reaches 4.48 mg cm-2, it still can deliver 756.2 mA h g-1 after the 100th cycle at 0.2 C with 89.5% capacity retention. In addition, the in situ X-ray diffraction test reveals that the sulfur conversion mechanism is the processes of α-S8 → Li2S → β-S8 (first cycle) and then β-S8 ↔ Li2S during the subsequent cycles. The designing strategy with heteroatom doping and self-intercalation capacity adopted in this work would provide novel inspiration for fabricating advanced sulfur-host materials to achieve excellent electrochemical capability in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The practical utilization of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with manipulation at the atomic and molecular scale often demands their assembly on the nano-, meso-, and macroscale with precise control. Consequently, synthetic approaches that establish the ability to control the nucleation and growth of COF crystallites and their self-assembly to desired COF nanomorphologies have drawn substantial attention from researchers. On the basis of the dimensionality of the COF morphologies, we can categorize them into zero- (0-D), one- (1-D), two- (2-D), and three-dimensional (3-D) nanomorphologies. In this perspective, we summarize the reported synthetic strategies that enable precise control of the COF nanomorphologies' size, shape, and dimensionality and reveal the impact of the dimensionalities in their physicochemical properties and applications. The aim is to establish a synergistic optimization of the morphological dimensionality while keeping the micro- or mesoporosity, crystallinity, and chemical functionalities of the COFs in perspective. A detailed knowledge along the way should help us to enrich the performance of COFs in a variety of applications like catalysis, separation, sensing, drug delivery, energy storage, etc. We have discussed the interlinking between the COF nanomorphologies via the transmutation of the dimensionalities. Such dimensionality transmutation could lead to variation in their properties during the transition. Finally, the concept of constructing COF superstructures through the combination of two or more COF nanomorphologies has been explored, and it could bring up opportunities for developing next-generation innovative materials for multidisciplinary applications.

Abstract
Hollow nanostructured hosts are important scaffolds to achieve high sulfur loading, fast charge transfer, and conspicuous restraint of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) shuttling in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, developing high-efficiency hollow hosts for improving utilization and conversion of aggregated sulfur in the hollow chamber remains a longstanding challenge. Herein, hollow N-doped carbon nanocubes confined petal-like ZnS/SnS2 heterostructures (ZnS/SnS2 @NC) as a conceptually novel host for Li-S batteries are reported. Specifically, compared to consubstantial hollow double-shelled hosts, the ZnS/SnS2 @NC with higher effective active surface area brings dense contact with sulfur and enhances efficient adsorption sites for binding LiPSs and accelerating their conversion. Benefiting from the unique structure and sophisticated composition, the resulting S@ZnS/SnS2 @NC cathodes exhibit 1294 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C, an ultralow capacity decay of 0.016% per cycle over 500 cycles at 1.0 C, and a high area capacity of 4.77 mAh cm-2 at 0.5 C (5.9 mg cm-2 ). Meanwhile, the performance evolution of S@ZnS/SnS2 @NC cathodes under various sulfur loadings is further investigated by using EIS, which provides the beneficial guidance to explore viable strategies further optimizing their performance. This work sheds new insights into the design of hollow nanostructured hosts with a distinguished ability to regulate LiPSs in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Benefiting from the merits of low cost, ultrahigh-energy densities, and environmentally friendliness, metal-sulfur batteries (M-S batteries) have drawn massive attention recently. However, their practical utilization is impeded by the shuttle effect and slow redox process of polysulfide. To solve these problems, enormous creative approaches have been employed to engineer new electrocatalytic materials to relieve the shuttle effect and promote the catalytic kinetics of polysulfides. In this review, recent advances on designing principles and active centers for polysulfide catalytic materials are systematically summarized. At first, the currently reported chemistries and mechanisms for the catalytic conversion of polysulfides are presented in detail. Subsequently, the rational design of polysulfide catalytic materials from catalytic polymers and frameworks to active sites loaded carbons for polysulfide catalysis to accelerate the reaction kinetics is comprehensively discussed. Current breakthroughs are highlighted and directions to guide future primary challenges, perspectives, and innovations are identified. Computational methods serve an ever-increasing part in pushing forward the active center design. In summary, a cutting-edge understanding to engineer different polysulfide catalysts is provided, and both experimental and theoretical guidance for optimizing future M-S batteries and many related battery systems are offered.

Abstract
The exploration of new application forms of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in Li-S batteries that can overcome drawbacks like low conductivity or high loading when typically applied as sulfur host materials (mostly ≈20 to ≈40 wt % loading in cathode) is desirable to maximize their low-density advantage to obtain lightweight, portable, or high-energy-density devices. Here, we establish that COFs could have implications as microadditives of binders (≈1 wt % in cathode), and a series of anthraquinone-COF based hollow tubes have been prepared as model microadditives. The microadditives can strengthen the basic properties of the binder and spontaneously immobilize and catalytically convert lithium polysulfides, as proved by density functional calculations, thus showing almost doubly enhanced reversible capacity compared with that of the bare electrode.

Abstract
One of the major challenges in the sulfur cathode of the Li-S batteries is to achieve high sulfur loading, fast Li ions transfer, and lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) shuttling suppressing simultaneously. This issue can be well solved by the development of molybdenum carbide decorated N-doped carbon hierarchical double-shelled hollow spheres (Mo2C/C HDS-HSs). The mesoporous thick inner shell and the central void of the HDS-HSs achieve the high sulfur loading, facilitate the ion/electrolyte penetration, and accelerate the charge transfer. The microporous thin outer shell suppresses the LiPSs shuttling and reduces the charge/mass diffusion distance. The double-shelled hollow structure accommodates the volume expansion during lithiation. Furthermore, Mo2C/C composition renders the HDS-HSs cathode with improved conductivity, enhanced affinity to LiPSs, and accelerated kinetics of LiPSs conversion. The structural and compositional advantages render the Mo2C/C/S HDS-HSs electrode with the high specific capacity, excellent rate capability, and ultra-long cycling stability in the composed Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries, which have revolutionized portable electronics over the past three decades, were eventually recognized with the 2019 Nobel Prize in chemistry. As the energy density of current lithium-ion batteries is approaching its limit, developing new battery technologies beyond lithium-ion chemistry is significant for next-generation high energy storage. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, which rely on the reversible redox reactions between lithium and sulfur, appears to be a promising energy storage system to take over from the conventional lithium-ion batteries for next-generation energy storage owing to their overwhelming energy density compared to the existing lithium-ion batteries today. Over the past 60 years, especially the past decade, significant academic and commercial progress has been made on Li-S batteries. From the concept of the sulfur cathode first proposed in the 1960s to the current commercial Li-S batteries used in unmanned aircraft, the story of Li-S batteries is full of breakthroughs and back tracing steps. Herein, the development and advancement of Li-S batteries in terms of sulfur-based composite cathode design, separator modification, binder improvement, electrolyte optimization, and lithium metal protection is summarized. An outlook on the future directions and prospects for Li-S batteries is also offered.

Abstract
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is regarded as a promising secondary battery. However, constant parasitic reactions between the Li anode and soluble polysulfide (PS) intermediates significantly deteriorate the working Li anode. The rational design to inhibit the parasitic reactions is plagued by the inability to understand and regulate the electrolyte structure of PSs. Herein, the electrolyte structure of PSs with anti-reductive solvent shells was unveiled by molecular dynamics simulations and nuclear magnetic resonance. The reduction resistance of the solvent shell is proven to be a key reason for the decreased reactivity of PSs towards Li. With isopropyl ether (DIPE) as a cosolvent, DIPE molecules tend to distribute in the outer solvent shell due to poor solvating power. Furthermore, DIPE is more stable than conventional ether solvents against Li metal. The reactivity of PSs is suppressed by encapsulating PSs into anti-reductive solvent shells. Consequently, the cycling performance of working Li-S batteries was significantly improved and a pouch cell of 300 Wh kg-1 was demonstrated. The fundamental understanding in this work provides an unprecedented ground to understand the electrolyte structure of PSs and the rational electrolyte design in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS Functionalized porphyrin complexes are proposed as new pseudocapacitive cathodes for SIBs based on four-electron transfer. The presence of copper(II) ion partially contributes the charge storage and significantly stabilizes the structure of porphyrin complex for electrochemical energy storage. The electrochemical polymerization of porphyrin complex through the ethynyl groups in self-stabilization process contributes to high rate capability and excellent cycling stability. ABSTRACT Sodium-organic batteries utilizing natural abundance of sodium element and renewable active materials gain great attentions for grid-scale applications. However, the development is still limited by lack of suitable organic cathode materials with high electronic conductivity that can be operated stably in liquid electrolyte. Herein, we present 5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (DEPP) and [5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato]copper(II) (CuDEPP) as new cathodes for extremely stable sodium-organic batteries. The copper(II) ion partially contributes the charge storage and significantly stabilizes the structure of porphyrin complex for electrochemical energy storage. In situ electrochemical stabilization of organic cathode with a lower charging current density was identified which enables both improved high energy density and power density. An excellent long-term cycling stability up to 600 cycles and an extremely high power density of 28 kW kg−1 were achieved for porphyrin-based cathode. This observation would open new pathway for developing highly stable sodium-organic cathode for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with high energy density, which show great application potential in flexible electronic products, have attracted a lot of research enthusiasm. However, the low utilization of sulfur and shuttle effect limit the application of Li-S batteries. Materials with a void structure and high conductivity can be used as a sulfur host to overcome these issues. Herein, a flexible MXene-coated textile fabric electrode (MF@Ti3C2Tx/S) is designed by integrating the MXene-coated textile fabric (MF) with in situ sulfur loaded MXene nanosheets (Ti3C2Tx/S). The MF provides a flexible 3D conductive framework, which is covered with Ti3C2Tx/S nanosheets to form the layer-by-layer structure. This unique structure not only provides enough space for volume expansion to maintain the structural stability in the electrochemical process, but also promotes the physical encapsulation and chemical adsorption of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Consequently, the MF@Ti3C2Tx/S50 electrode exhibits a high initial capacity of 916 mA h g-1 at 1C and an ultralong-term cycling stability of 674 mA h g-1 at 1C after 1000 cycles. Furthermore, this electrode also exhibits excellent rate performance at a high energy density (290 mA h g-1 at 5C after 800 cycles). A pouch cell is prepared by using the MF@Ti3C2Tx/S50 electrode and shows excellent cycle performances at different bending angles, which indicates that this study is valuable in the field of flexible energy storage. This work provides a new concept design for flexible Li-S batteries, which have great application potential as wearable and portable electronic devices.

Abstract
The application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is severely hampered by the shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics. Herein, amorphous cobalt phosphide grown on a reduced graphene oxide-multiwalled carbon nanotube (rGO-CNT-CoP(A)) is designed as the sulfur host to conquer the above bottlenecks. The differences between amorphous cobalt phosphide (CoP) and crystalline CoP on the surface adsorption as well as conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) are investigated by systematical experiments and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Specifically, the amorphous CoP not only strengthens the chemical adsorption to LiPSs but also greatly accelerates liquid-phase conversions of LiPSs as well as the nucleation and growth of Li2S. DFT calculation reveals that the amorphous CoP possesses higher binding energies and lower diffusion energy barriers for LiPSs. In addition, the amorphous CoP features reduced energy gap and the increased electronic concentrations of adsorbed LiPSs near Fermi level. These characteristics contribute to the enhanced chemisorption ability and the accelerated redox kinetics. Simultaneously, the prepared S/rGO-CNT-CoP(A) electrode delivers an impressive initial capacity of 872 mAh g-1 at 2 C and 617 mAh g-1 can be obtained after 200 cycles, exhibiting excellent cycling stability. Especially, it achieves outstanding electrochemical performance even under high sulfur loading (5.3 mg cm-2) and lean electrolyte (E/S = 7 μLE mg-1S) conditions. This work exploits the application potential for amorphous materials and contributes to the development of highly efficient Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are promising electrodes for rechargeable batteries due to their adjustable structures, rich redox sites, and tunable porosity. However, the CTFs usually exhibit inferior electrochemical stability because of the inactivation of the unstable radical intermediates. Here, a methylene-linked CTF has been synthesized and evaluated as a cathode for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and in situ Raman characterizations demonstrated that the redox activity and reversibility of α-C and triazine radical intermediates are essentially important for the charging/discharging process, which have been efficiently stabilized by the synergetic π conjugation and hindrance effect caused by the adjacent rigid triazine rings and benzene rings in the unique CTF-p framework. Additionally, the methylene groups provided extra redox-active sites. As a result, high capacity and cycling stability were achieved. This work inspires the rational modulation of the radical intermediates to enhance the electrochemical performance of organic electrode materials for the next-generation energy storage devices.

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

Abstract
Sodium-selenium (Na-Se) battery has been emerging as one of the most prospective energy storage systems owing to their high volumetric energy density and cost effectiveness. Nevertheless, the shuttle effect of sodium polyselenide (NaPSe) and sluggish electrochemical reaction kinetics present the main bottlenecks for its practical implementation. Herein, a new Se host of 3D nitrogen-doped hierarchical multicavity carbon nanospheres (3D NHMCs) is designed and synthesized via a facile self-sacrifice templating strategy. The 3D NHMCs are verified to hold a favorable structure of a hollow macropore core and numerous micro/mesopores hollow shell for hosting Se, which can not only maximize Se utilization and alleviate the volumetric expansion but also promote the electrical/ionic conductivity and electrolyte infiltration. Moreover, the abundant self-functionalized surfaces as an efficient NaPSe scavenger via robust physical-chemical dual blocking effects demonstrate high-efficiency in situ anchoring-diffusion-conversion of NaPSe, rendering rapid reaction kinetics and remarkable suppressive shuttle effect, as evidenced by systematic experimental analysis and density functional theory calculations. As a result, the high-Se-loading 3D NHMCs/Se cathode exhibits an ultrahigh volumetric capacity (863 mAh cm-3 ) and rate capability (377 mAh g-1 at 20 C) and unexceptionable stability over 2000 cycles at 2 C.

Abstract
The precise regulation of nucleation growth and assembly of polymers is still an intriguing goal but an enormous challenge. In this study, we proposed a pre-polymerization strategy to regulate the assembly and growth of polymers by facilely controlling the concentration of polymerization initiator, and thus obtained two kinds of different nanosheet-based porphyrin polymer materials using tetrakis-5,10,15,20-(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) as the precursor. Notably, due to the π-π stacking and doping of TAPP during the preparation process, the obtained PTAPP-nanocube material exhibits a high intrinsic bulk conductivity reaching 1.49×10-4 S m-1 . Profiting from the large π-conjugated structure of porphyrin units, closely stacked layer structure and excellent conductivity, the resultant porphyrin polymers, as electrode materials for lithium ion batteries, deliver high specific capacity (≈650 mAh g-1 at the current density of 100 mA g-1 ), excellent rate performance and long-cycle stability, which are among the best reports of porphyrin polymer-based electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, such a pre-polymerization approach would provide a new insight for the controllable synthesis of polymers towards custom-made architecture and function.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), materials constructed from organic building blocks joined by robust covalent bonds, have emerged as attractive materials in the context of electrochemical applications because of their high, intrinsic porosities and crystalline frameworks, as well as their ability to be tuned across two- and three-dimensions by the judicious selection of building blocks. Because of the recent and rapid development of this field, we have summarized COFs employed for electrochemical applications, such as batteries and capacitors, water splitting, solar cells, and sensors, with an emphasis on the structural design and resulting performance of the targeted electrochemical system. Overall, we anticipate this review will stimulate the design and synthesis of the next generation of COFs for use in electrochemical applications and beyond.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries severely suffer from the shuttling of soluble polysulfides intermediates, insulation of sulfur and lithium sulfides, and volumetric expansion of sulfur electrodes, which result in the fast capacity decay and low utilization of active materials. To overcome these issues, a new type of porous phthalazinone-based covalent triazine frameworks (P-CTFs) with inherent N and O atoms has been in situ grown onto conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by the sulfur-mediated cyclization of dinitrile monomers to afford the S/P-CTF@rGO hybrids. The well-designed structure endows the S/P-CTF@rGO composites with several features for enhanced Li-S batteries: (i) the nanoporous structure can spatially trap the sulfur species within the P-CTFs; (ii) the covalent binding of sulfur and polar groups of phthalazinone and triazine in P-CTFs exhibits strong chemical attachment and adsorption with polysulfides and further limits the diffusion of polysulfides; (iii) the conductive rGO and semiconductive P-CTFs help faster electronic transportation and accelerate the electrochemical process. Therefore, the S/P-CTF@rGO cathodes show greatly enhanced electrochemical performances with a high initial specific capacity of 1130 mAh g-1 at 0.5C and a good capacity retention of 81.4% after 500 cycles, indicating only 0.04% degradation per cycle.

Abstract
Lithium–sulfur batteries are considered to be promising energy storage devices owing to their high energy density, relatively low price and abundant resources. However, the low utilization of insulated active materials and shuttle effect have severely hindered the further development of lithium–sulfur batteries. Herein, MoO2 nanoparticles embedded in N-doped hydrangea-like carbon have been synthesized by liquid-phase reaction followed by an annealing process and used as a sulfur host. The nitrogen-doped carbon matrix improves electrical conductivity and provides pathways for smooth electron and Li ion transfer to uniformly dispersed sulfur. Meanwhile, MoO2 nanoparticles can absorb polysulfide ions by forming strong chemical bonds, which can effectively alleviate the polysulfide shuttling effect. These results showed a good rate performance: 1361, 1071, 925, 815 and 782 mA h g−1 at the current densities of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 2 A g−1, and capacity retention of 85% after 300 cycles at 1 A g−1. The excellent performance was due to the synergistic effects of the polar MoO2 and nitrogen-doped carbon matrix, which can effectively restrain and reutilize active materials by absorbing polysulfides and catalyzing the transformation of polysulfides. Lithium–sulfur batteries are considered to be promising energy storage devices owing to their high energy density, relatively low price and abundant resources.![]()

Abstract
Lithium-selenium (Li-Se) batteries have recently attracted more and more attentions as new secondary battery systems due to the similarity but better performances than lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. However, the dissolution of selenium in electrolytes results in low selenium utilization, concentration polarization, inferior capacities, and unstable cycling performances. Herein, 46.58 wt% of selenium is loaded on carbon cloths through the calcination process, which were directly used as self-supporting cathodes. Carbonized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber membranes produced by electrospinning are worn as the protective clothing between the cathode and separator to avoid the loss and dissolution of selenium. The stabilization of Li-Se batteries was enhanced by introducing two interlayers, as expected, they exhibit a stable reversible average capacity of 590 mA h g-1 during 1000 cycles at a current density of 0.5 C (1 C = 675 mA g-1). No polyselenide formation is found during charging/discharging, and the effects of the introduced PAN interlayers on improving the stability and reducing the polarization of the assembled Li-Se batteries are confirmed by mechanistic characterizations. These regulated Li-Se batteries present great application potential in the future, and the design idea can also be promoted to explore other energy storage systems.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries hold broad prospects as the low-cost and high-energy storage system. However, the practical application is limited by the intrinsic insulating nature of sulfur and severe shuttle effect of soluble polysulfide intermediates. Herein, we demonstrate a convenient self-assembly strategy for encapsulating carbon nanotubes in nitrogen-doped hollow carbon shells, to construct a nitrogen-doped tube-in-tube carbon nanostructure (NTTC) as a host material of sulfur. In this peculiar structure, the highly conductive carbon nanotube cores facilitate the electron transfer while the hollow porous structure is capable of accommodating high sulfur content of 70 wt% in the composites. Moreover, the nitrogen doping helps to alleviate the shuttle effect owing to enhanced chemisorption towards polysulfides. Benefiting from these merits, the NTTC/S composite with the high areal mass loading of ~2.5 mg cm-2 presents a high reversible capacity (1346.9 mAh g-1 at 0.05 C) and excellent rate capability (533.5 mAh g-1 at 3C). More impressively, NTTC/S electrode exhibits good cycling stability at a high rate of 2 C corresponding to slight capacity decay of 0.055% per cycle over 500 discharge/charge cycles.

Abstract
Porphyrin complexes are well-known for their application in solar-cell systems and as catalysts; however, their use in electrochemical energy-storage applications has scarcely been studied. Here, a tetra-alkenyl-substituted [5,10,15,20-tetra(ethynyl)porphinato]copper(II) (CuTEP) complex was used as anode material in a high-performance lithium-free CuTEP/PP14 TFSI/graphite cell [PP14 TFSI=1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide]. Thereby, the influence of size and morphology on the electrochemical performance of the cell was thoroughly investigated. Three different nanocrystal CuTEP morphologies, namely nanobricks, nanosheets, and nanoribbons, were studied as anode material, and the best cyclability and highest rate capability were obtained for the nanoribbon samples. A high specific power density of 14 kW kg-1 (based on active material) and excellent rechargeability were achieved with negligible capacity decay over 1000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1 . These results indicate that the porphyrin complex CuTEP could be a promising electrode material in high-performance lithium-free batteries.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) is a green oxidizer widely involved in a vast number of chemical reactions. Electrochemical reduction of oxygen to H2 O2 constitutes an environmentally friendly synthetic route. However, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is kinetically sluggish and undesired water serves as the main product on most electrocatalysts. Therefore, electrocatalysts with high reactivity and selectivity are highly required for H2 O2 electrosynthesis. In this work, a synergistic strategy is proposed for the preparation of H2 O2 electrocatalysts with high ORR reactivity and high H2 O2 selectivity. A Co-Nx -C site and oxygen functional group comodified carbon-based electrocatalyst (named as Co-POC-O) is synthesized. The Co-POC-O electrocatalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance for H2 O2 electrosynthesis in O2 -saturated 0.10 m KOH with a high selectivity over 80% as well as very high reactivity with an ORR potential at 1 mA cm-2 of 0.79 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Further mechanism study identifies that the Co-Nx -C sites and oxygen functional groups contribute to the reactivity and selectivity for H2 O2 electrogeneration, respectively. This work affords not only an emerging strategy to design H2 O2 electrosynthesis catalysts with remarkable performance, but also the principles of rational combination of multiple active sites for green and sustainable synthesis of chemicals through electrochemical processes.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries are a major focus of academic and industrial energy-storage research due to their high theoretical energy density and the use of low-cost materials. The high energy density results from the conversion mechanism that lithium-sulfur cells utilize. The sulfur cathode, being naturally abundant and environmentally friendly, makes lithium-sulfur batteries a potential next-generation energy-storage technology. The current state of the research indicates that lithium-sulfur cells are now at the point of transitioning from laboratory-scale devices to a more practical energy-storage application. Based on similar electrochemical conversion reactions, the low-cost sulfur cathode can be coupled with a wide range of metallic anodes, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum. These new "metal-sulfur" systems exhibit great potential in either lowering the production cost or producing high energy density. Inspired by the rapid development of lithium-sulfur batteries and the prospect of metal-sulfur cells, here, over 450 research articles are summarized to analyze the research progress and explore the electrochemical characteristics, cell-assembly parameters, cell-testing conditions, and materials design. In addition to highlighting the current research progress, the possible future areas of research which are needed to bring conversion-type lithium-sulfur and other metal-sulfur batteries into the market are also discussed.
