Abstract
Heterogeneous composite ZnS/SnS2 is designed to meet various requirements for alkali metal-ion batteries. The composite is prepared using an electrostatic spinning method and encapsulated in N-doped carbon fibers after high-temperature vulcanization. The special structure of the composite provides a dependable interconnection and fast conductive network for alkali metal ions. The conductive carbon network shortens the diffusion path and greatly improves the migration efficiency of the alkali metal ions in the electrode. As expected, when the current density is 0.1 A g-1, the ZnS/SnS2@NCNFs maintain a high discharge capacity of more than 1437.5, 1321.2, and 861.6 mA h g-1 for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion batteries, respectively. What is more, a full cell using a prelithiated composite anode and a LiFePO4 cathode is tested and shows excellent electrochemical performance. This work provides new perspectives for the development of novel anodes that can efficiently store alkali metal ions, as well as for the fine-structure design of materials.

Bio-inspired sustainable synthesis of novel SnS 2/biochar nanocomposite for adsorption coupled photodegradation of amoxicillin and congo red: Effects of reaction parameters, and water matrices. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 334:117496. [PMID: 36801688 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
This study aims to fabricate a novel integrated photocatalytic adsorbent (IPA) via a green solvothermal process employing tea (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) leaf extract as a stabilizing and capping agent for the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. An n-type semiconductor photocatalyst, SnS2, was chosen as a photocatalyst due to its remarkable photocatalytic activity supported over areca nut (Areca catechu) biochar for the adsorption of pollutants. The adsorption and photocatalytic properties of fabricated IPA were examined by taking amoxicillin (AM) and congo red (CR) as two emerging pollutants found in wastewater. Investigating synergistic adsorption and photocatalytic properties under varying reaction conditions mimicking actual wastewater conditions marks the novelty of the present research. The support of biochar for the SnS2 thin films induced a reduction in charge recombination rate, which enhanced the photocatalytic activity of the material. The adsorption data were in accordance with the Langmuir nonlinear isotherm model, indicating monolayer chemosorption with the pseudo-second-order rate kinetics. The photodegradation process follows pseudo-first-order kinetics with the highest rate constant of 0.0450 min-1 for AM and 0.0454 min-1 for CR. The overall removal efficiency of 93.72 ± 1.19% and 98.43 ± 1.53% could be achieved within 90 min for AM and CR via simultaneous adsorption and photodegradation model. A plausible mechanism of synergistic adsorption and photodegradation of pollutants is also presented. The effect of pH, Humic acid (HA) concentration, inorganic salts and water matrices have also been included.The photodegradation activity of SnS2 under visible light coupled with the adsorption capability of the biochar results in the excellent removal of the contaminants from the liquid phase.

Abstract
The integration of multiple electron-accepting skeletons into polymeric structures is the forefront of materials research for high-energy sustainable energy storage. Herein, we report the synthesis of two novel non-conjugated polymers (NCP1 and NCP2) and a model small molecule (M1) incorporated with bio-derived 4-elecron-uptaking carbonylpyridinium redox-units for alkali-ion batteries. Compared to model small molecules, the polymers exhibited improved battery performance when applied as anode materials for Li-, Na-, and K-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs/KIBs) owing to their high electrochemical activity and effective ability to suppress dissolution. By judicious selection of the benzothiadiazole redox-active linker, the performance of NCP2 was further enhanced, delivering the highest capacity and the best cycling stability; at mass loadings of up to 3.5 and 4.7 mg cm-2, the specific capacity remained at 215 and 150 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles, respectively. The Li+/Na+/K+ insertion/extraction mechanisms of NCP2 were elucidated based on experimental analyses. The insertion/extraction of Li+ was much faster than that of Na+ and K+. This study broadens the family of bio-derived carbonylpyridinium-based polymer materials for next-generation electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Bimetallic transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) materials have emerged as attractive anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of the high intrinsic electronic conductivity, rich redox sites and unique reaction mechanism. In this work, we report the synthesis and electrochemical properties of a novel bimetallic TMCs material CuSbSe2 . The as-prepared anode delivers a high reversible capacity of 545.6 mA h g-1 for SIBs and 592.6 mA h g-1 for LIBs at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 , and an excellent rate capability of 425.9 mA h g-1 at 20 A g-1 for SIBs and 226.0 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 for LIBs without any common-used surface modification or carbonaceous compositing. In addition, ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) reveal a combined conversion-alloying reaction mechanism of LIBs and NIBs. Our findings suggest bimetallic CuSbSe2 could be a potential anode material for both SIBs and LIBs.

Abstract
Compared with lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), aqueous zinc batteries (AZIBs) have received extensive attention due to their safety and cost advantages in recent years. The cathode determines the electrochemical performance of AZIBs to a large extent. Vanadium-based materials exhibit excellent capacity when used as AZIB cathodes. However, unexpected structural stress is inevitably induced during cycling and high current densities, which can gradually lead to structural deterioration and capacity decay. In fact, the stress/strain distribution in nanomaterials is crucial for electrochemical performance. In this work, the optimized stress distribution of the hierarchical hollow structure is verified by the finite element simulation of COMSOL software firstly. Guided by this model, a simple solvothermal method to synthesize hierarchical hollow vanadium oxide nanospheres (VO-NSs), consisting of ≈10 nm ultrathin nanosheets and ≈500 nm hollow inner cavities, is employed. And a highly disordered structure is introduced to the VO-NSs by in situ electrochemical oxidation, which can also weaken the structural stress during Zn2+ insertion and extraction. Benefiting from this unique structure, VO-NSs exhibit high-rate and stable Zn2+ storage capability. The strategy of engineering-driven material design provides new insights into the development of AZIB cathodes.

Abstract
Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit broad application prospects in many fields due to the enhanced specific surface area to volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. Because of the atomic thickness and various orientations, ultrathin 2D materials exposing specific facets have drawn great attention for various applications in catalysis, batteries, optoelectronics, magnetism, epitaxial template for material growth, etc. Though maintaining the atomic thickness of 2D materials while controlling crystal facets is an enormous challenge, breakthroughs are being made. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the facet engineering of 2D materials, ranging from a basic understanding of facets and the corresponding approaches and the significance of facet engineering. We also propose current challenges and forecast future development directions including the establishment of a facet database, the fabrication of new 2D materials, the design of specific substrates, and the introduction of theoretical calculations and in situ characterization techniques. This review can guide researchers to design ultrathin 2D materials with unique and distinct facets and provide an insight into the applications of energy, magnetism, optics, biomedicine, and other fields.

Abstract
Transition metal selenides have gained enormous interest as anodes for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Nonetheless, their large volume expansion causing poor rate and inferior cycle stability during Na+ insertion/extraction process hinders their further applications in SIBs. Herein, a confined-regulated interfacial engineering strategy towards the synthesis of FeSe microparticles coated by ultrathin nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) is demonstrated (FeSe@NC). The strong interfacial interaction between FeSeand NC endows FeSe@NC with fast electron/Na+ transport kinetics and outstanding structural stability, delivering unexceptionable rate capability (364 mAh/gat 10 A/g) and preeminent cycling durability (capacity retention of 100 % at 1 A/g over 1000 cycles). Furthermore, variousex situcharacterization techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been applied to demonstrate the Na+ storage mechanism of FeSe@NC. The assembled Na3V2(PO4)2F3@rGO//FeSe@NC full cell also displays a high capacity of 241 mAh/gat 1 A/g with the capacity retention of nearly 100 % over 2000 cycles, and delivers a supreme energy density of 135 Wh kg-1 and a topmost power density of 495 W kg-1, manifesting the latent applications of FeSe@NC in the fast charging SIBs.

Abstract
The drastic need for development of power and electronic equipment has long been calling for energy storage materials that possess favorable energy and power densities simultaneously, yet neither capacitive nor battery-type materials can meet the aforementioned demand. By contrast, pseudocapacitive materials store ions through redox reactions with charge/discharge rates comparable to those of capacitors, holding the promise of serving as electrode materials in advanced electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices. Therefore, it is of vital importance to enhance pseudocapacitive responses of energy storage materials to obtain excellent energy and power densities at the same time. In this Review, we first present basic concepts and characteristics about pseudocapacitive behaviors for better guidance on material design researches. Second, we discuss several important and effective material design measures for boosting pseudocapacitive responses of materials to improve rate capabilities, which mainly include downsizing, heterostructure engineering, adding atom and vacancy dopants, expanding interlayer distance, exposing active facets, and designing nanosheets. Finally, we outline possible developing trends in the rational design of pseudocapacitive materials and EES devices toward high-performance energy storage.

Abstract
Establishing covalent heterointerfaces with face-to-face contact is promising for advanced energy storage, while challenge remains on how to inhibit the anisotropic growth of nucleated crystals on the matrix. Herein, face-to-face covalent bridging in-between the 2D-nanosheets/graphene heterostructure is constructed by intentionally prebonding of laser-manufactured amorphous and metastable nanoparticles on graphene, where the amorphous nanoparticles were designed via the competitive oxidation of Sn-O and Sn-S bonds, and metastable feature was employed to facilitate the formation of the C-S-Sn covalent bonding in-between the heterostructure. The face-to-face bridging of ultrathin SnS2 nanosheets on graphene enables the heterostructure huge covalent coupling area and high loading and thus renders unimpeded electron/ion transfer pathways and indestructible electrode structure, and impressive reversible capacity and rate capability for sodium-ion batteries, which rank among the top in records of the SnS2-based anodes. Present work thus provides an alternative of constructing heterostructures with planar interfaces for electrochemical energy storage and even beyond.

Abstract
Herein, a rational design of SnS2 nanosheets confined into bubble-like carbon nanoreactors anchored on N,S doped carbon nanofibers (SnS2 @C/CNF) is proposed to prepare the self-standing electrodes, which provides tunable void space on carbon fibers for the first time by introducing hollow carbon nanoreactors. The SnS2 @C/CNF provides the stable support with greatly enhanced ion and electron transport, alleviates aggregation and volume expansion of SnS2 nanosheets, and promotes the formation of abundant exposed edges and active sites. The volume balance between SnS2 nanosheets and hollow carbon nanoreactors is reached to accommodate the expansion of SnS2 during cycles by controlling the thickness of SnO2 shells, which achieves the best space utilization. The doping of N,S elements enhances the wettability of the carbon nanofiber matrix to electrolyte and Li ions and further improves the electrical conductivity of the whole electrode. Thus, the SnS2 @C/CNF benefits greatly in structural stability and pseudocapacitive capacity for improved lithium/sodium storage performance. As a result of these improvements, the self-standing SnS2 @C/CNF film electrodes exhibit the highly stable capacity of 964.8 and 767.6 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 , and excellent capacity retention of 87.4% and 82.4% after 1000 cycles at high current density for lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries, respectively.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 608:227-238.

Abstract
The large volume expansion and poor electrical conductivity of copper phosphide (Cu3P) during the cycle limit their further application as anode of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified Cu3(BTC)2-derived (BTC = 1, 3, 5-Benzentricarboxylic acid) in-situ N/P-co-doped Octahedron carbon encapsulated Cu3P nanoparticles (Cu3P@NPC) are successfully prepared through a two-step process of carbonization and phosphating. The N/P-co-doped Octahedron carbon matrix improves the conductivity of Cu3P and moderates the volume expansion during the lithiation/delithiation process. Meanwhile, the interaction between the Cu3P and the doped carbon matrix is methodically explored by using density functional theory (DFT). Through the analysis of the partial charge density, the density of states and the Bader charge, and the calculation results verify the correctness of the experimental observation results, that is, Cu3P@NPC has good electrochemical performance. The results show that Cu3P@NPC, as the anode of Lithium-ion batteries, has excellent electrochemical performance: it exhibits satisfactory rate performance (251.9 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1) and excellent cycle performance (336.4 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 over 1000 cycles). This article provides an effective strategy for the encapsulation of metal phosphide nanoparticles in a doped carbon matrix.

Abstract
2D materials have attracted extensive attention in energy storage and conversion due to their excellent electrochemical performances. Herein, we report utilization of monolayer SnS2 sheets within SnS2/graphene multilayers for efficient lithium and sodium storage. SnS2/graphene multilayers are synthesized through a solution-phase direct assembly method by electrostatic interaction between monolayer SnS2 and PDDA (polydimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride)-graphene nanosheets. It has been shown that the SnS2/graphene multilayer electrode has a large pseudocapacity contribution for enhanced lithium and sodium storage. Typical batteries deliver a stable reversible capacity of ∼160 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 2000 cycles for lithium and a stable reversible capacity of ∼142 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles for sodium. The excellent electrochemical performances of SnS2/graphene multilayers are attributed to the synergistic effect between the monolayer SnS2 sheets and the PDDA-graphene nanosheets. The multilayer structure assembled by different monolayer nanosheets is promising for the further development of 2D materials for energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed a rapidly growing interest toward sodium ion battery (SIB) for large-scale energy storage in view of the abundance and easy accessibility of sodium resources. Key to addressing the remaining challenges and setbacks and to translate lab science into commercializable products is the development of high-performance anode materials. Anode materials featuring combined conversion and alloying mechanisms are one of the most attractive candidates, due to their high theoretical capacities and relatively low working voltages. The current understanding of sodium-storage mechanisms in conversion-alloying anode materials is presented here. The challenges faced by these materials in SIBs, and the corresponding improvement strategies, are comprehensively discussed in correlation with the resulting electrochemical behavior. Finally, with the guidance and perspectives, a roadmap toward the development of advanced conversion-alloying materials for commercializable SIBs is created.

Abstract
Developing flexible electrodes with high active materials loading and excellent mechanical stability is of importance to flexible electronics, yet remains challenging. Herein, robust flexible electrodes with an encapsulated core-multishell structure are developed via a spraying-hydrothermal process. The multilayer electrode possesses an architecture of substrate/reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/bimetallic complex/rGO/bimetallic complex/rGO from the inside to the outside, where the cellulosic fibers serve as the substrate, namely, the core; and the multiple layers of rGO and bimetallic complex, are used as active materials, namely, the shells. The inner two rGO interlayers function as the cement that chemically bind to two adjacent layers, while the two outer rGO layers encapsulate the inside structure effectively protecting the electrode from materials detachment or electrolyte corrosion. The electrodes with a unique core-multishell structure exhibit excellent cycle stability and exceptional temperature tolerance (-25 to 40 °C) for lithium and sodium storage. A combination of experimental and theoretical investigations are carried out to gain insights into the synergetic effects of cobalt-molybdenum-sulfide (CMS) materials (the bimetallic complex), which will provide guidance for future exploration of bimetallic sulfides. This strategy is further demonstrated in other substrates, showing general applicability and great potential in the development of flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been regarded as a promising anode material in the field of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), with the advantages of high theoretical capacity and large interlayer spacings. Unfortunately, its intrinsic poor electrical conductivity and large volume changes during the sodiation/desodiation reactions still limit its practical application. To deal with this shortcoming, we built MoS2 nanosheet/multiwalled carbon nanotube (denoted as MoS2-MSs/MWCNTs) composites with a three-dimensional (3D) micro-spherical structure, assembled in situ from MoS2 nanosheets. These nanosheets are connected to each other by the MWCNTs network, which provides a highly conductive pathway for electrons/ions through interparticle and intraparticle interfaces, accelerating charge transfer and ion diffusion capabilities. More importantly, the carbon network can boost electrical conductivity and relieve structural strain. Consequently, the as-prepared MoS2-MSs/MWCNTs composite presents a high reversible specific capacity of 519 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 94.4% and excellent rate performance (227 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1). Outstanding cycling stability was also achieved (327.1 mA h g-1 over 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1) and was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Our findings provide a simple and effective strategy to explore anode materials with advanced sodium storage properties.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are emerging as the prospective alternatives to lithium-ion batteries in energy storage systems owing to the sufficient resources and relatively low cost of K-related materials. However, serious volume expansion and low specific capacity are found in most materials systems resulting from the large intrinsic radius of K+. Herein, SnS2 nanosheets anchored on nitrogen and sulfur co-doped MXene (SnS2 NSs/MXene) are creatively designed as advanced anode materials for KIBs. SnS2 NSs/MXene with a unique hierarchical structure can not only provide fast transmission channels for K+ but also avoid the accumulation of K+ and volume expansion. These novel features make SnS2 NSs/MXene electrodes exhibit a superior reversible specific capacity of 342.4 mA h g-1 under 50 mA g-1. Also, they maintain 206.1 mA h g-1 at an even higher current density of 0.5 A g-1 over 800 cycles almost without capacity decay. Moreover, the multistep alloying reaction mechanism of SnS2 NSs/MXene composites and K+ is revealed by the ex situ X-ray diffraction measurement. In addition, the density functional theory calculations confirm the existence of Ti-S bonds between SnS2 nanosheets and MXene, which significantly enhance the structural stability and cycling electrochemical performance of SnS2 NSs/MXene composites.

Abstract
In this paper, we have adopted a simple and etching-free method to prepare mesoporous carbon spheres in one step. Selenium can be deposited in the internal cavity, which can avoid pulverization due to the combined effect of volume expansion and a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) film while charging and discharging. Therefore, the as-prepared selenium and nitrogen codoped mesoporous carbon nanosphere (Se@NMCS) composites can deliver an outstanding sodium-storage performance of 336.6 mAh g-1 at a present density of 200 mA g-1 and great long-cycling performance. For a further understanding of the Na+ storage mechanism of the Se@NMCS anode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), the phase evolution of the Se@NMCS anode has been explored during the charge/discharge process by conducting in situ Raman investigation.

Abstract
Rechargeable alkali metal-ion batteries (AMIBs) are receiving significant attention owing to their high energy density and low weight. The performance of AMIBs is highly dependent on the electrode materials. It is, therefore, quite crucial to explore suitable electrode materials that can fulfil the future requirements of AMIBs. Herein, a hierarchical hybrid yolk-shell structure of carbon-coated iron selenide microcapsules (FeSe2 @C-3 MCs) is prepared via facile hydrothermal reaction, carbon-coating, HCl solution etching, and then selenization treatment. When used as the conversion-typed anode materials (CTAMs) for AMIBs, the yolk-shell FeSe2 @C-3 MCs show advantages. First, the interconnected external carbon shell improves the mechanical strength of electrodes and accelerates ionic migration and electron transmission. Second, the internal electroactive FeSe2 nanoparticles effectively decrease the extent of volume expansion and avoid pulverization when compared with micro-sized solid FeSe2 . Third, the yolk-shell structure provides sufficient inner void to ensure electrolyte infiltration and mobilize the surface and near-surface reactions of electroactive FeSe2 with alkali metal ions. Consequently, the designed yolk-shell FeSe2 @C-3 MCs demonstrate enhanced electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and potassium-ion batteries with high specific capacities, long cyclic stability, and outstanding rate capability, presenting potential application as universal anodes for AMIBs.

Abstract
Self-assembly of nanoscale building units into mesoscopically ordered superstructures opens the possibility for tailored applications. Nonetheless, the realization of precise controllability related specifically to the atomic scale has been challenging. Here, first, we explore the key role of a molecular surfactant in adjusting the growth kinetics of two-dimensional (2D) layered SnS2. Experimentally, we show that high pressure both enhances the adsorption energy of the surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) on the SnS2(001) surface at the initial nucleation stage and induces the subsequent oriented attachment (OA) growth of 2D crystallites with monolayer thickness, leading to the formation of a monolayer amorphous carbon-bridged nanosheet mesocrystal. It is notable that such a nanosheet-coalesced mesocrystal is metastable with a flowerlike morphology and can be turned into a single crystal via crystallographic fusion. Subsequently, direct encapsulation of the mesocrystal via FeCl3-induced pyrrole monomer self-polymerization generates conformal polypyrrole (PPy) coating, and carbonization of the resulting nanocomposites generates Fe-N-S-co-doped carbons that are embedded with well-dispersed SnS/FeCl3 quantum sheets; this process skillfully integrated structural phase transformation, pyrolysis graphitization, and self-doping. Interestingly, such an integrated design not only guarantees the flowerlike morphology of the final nanohybrids but also, more importantly, allows the thickness of petalous carbon and the size of the nanoconfined particles to be controlled. Benefiting from the unique structural features, the resultant nanohybrids exhibited the brilliant electrochemical performance while simultaneously acting as a reliable platform for exploring the structure-performance correlation of a Li-ion battery (LIB).

Abstract
Conversion-alloying type anode materials like metal sulfides draw great attention due to their considerable theoretical capacity for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, poor conductivity, severe volume change, and harmful aggregation of the material during charge/discharge lead to unsatisfying electrochemical performance. Herein, a facile and green strategy for yolk-shell structure based on the principle of metal evaporation is proposed. SnS2 nanoparticle is encapsulated in nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanobox (SnS2 @C). The carbon nanoboxes accommodate the volume change and aggregation of SnS2 during cycling, and form 3D continuous conductive carbon matrix by close contact. The well-designed structure benefits greatly in conductivity and structural stability of the material. As expected, SnS2 @C exhibits considerable capacity, superior cycling stability, and excellent rate capability in both SIBs and PIBs. Additionally, in situ Raman technology is unprecedentedly conducted to investigate the phase evolution of polysulfides. This work provides an avenue for facilely constructing stable and high-capacity metal dichalcogenide based anodes materials with optimized structure engineering. The proposed in-depth electrochemical measurements coupled with in situ and ex situ characterizations will provide fundamental understandings for the storage mechanism of metal dichalcogenides.

Abstract
The further improvement of sodium ion batteries requires the elucidation of the mechanisms pertaining to reversibility, which allows the novel design of the electrode structure. Here, through a hydrogel-embedding method, we are able to confine the growth of few-layer SnS2 nanosheets between a nitrogen- and sulfur-doped carbon nanotube (NS-CNT) and amorphous carbon. The obtained carbon-sandwiched SnS2 nanosheets demonstrate excellent sodium storage properties. In operando small-angle X-ray scattering combined with the ex situ X-ray absorption near edge spectra reveal that the redox reactions between SnS2/NS-CNT and the sodium ion are highly reversible. On the contrary, the nanostructure evolution is found to be irreversible, in which the SnS2 nanosheets collapse, followed by the regeneration of SnS2 nanoparticles. This work provides operando insights into the chemical environment evolution and structure change of SnS2-based anodes, elucidating its reversible reaction mechanism, and illustrates the significance of engineered carbon support in ensuring the electrode structure stability.

Abstract
SnS2 as a high energy anode material has attracted extensive research interest recently. However, the fast capacity decay and low rate performance in alkaline-ion batteries associated with repeated volume variation and low electrical conductivity plague them from practical application. Herein, we propose a facile method to solve this problem by synthesizing porous SnS2 microflowers with in-situ formed sulfur vacancies. The flexible porous nanosheets in the three-dimensional flower-like nanostructure provide facile strain relaxation to avoid stress concentration during the volume changes. Rich sulfur vacancies and porous structure enable the fast and efficient electron transport. The porous SnS2-x microflowers exhibit outstanding performance for lithium ion battery in terms of high capacity (1375 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1) and outstanding rate capability (827 mA h g-1 at high rate of 2 A g-1). For sodium ion battery, a high capacity (~522 mAh g-1) can be achieved at 5 A g-1 after 200 cycles for SnS2-x microflowers. The rational design in nanostructures, as well as the chemical compositions, might create new opportunities in designing the new architecture for highly efficient energy storage devices.

Abstract
SnS2 as the promising anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) still encounters the undesirable rate performance and cycle stability. Herein, a unique stable structure is developed, where the SnS2 nanocrystals (NCs) are sturdily encapsulated by carbon shells anchored on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via the one-pot solvothermal process. The well-controlled carbon shells provide the enduring protection for SnS2 NCs through C-S covalent bonds from the corrosion of electrolyte and pulverization of structure. Moreover, both experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that the carbon protective shell effectively enhances the structure stability and conductivity of the resulting materials. Interestingly, the size of SnS2 NCs and the thickness of carbon shells are accurately controlled by regulating the content of glucose. Aided by the advanced electron/ion transfer kinetics and structure stability, the SnS2-based electrode exhibits desired lithium/sodium storage performance and unprecedented long-term cycling stability (capacity retention of 74.7% after 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1 for LIBs and 102% after 200 cycles at 500 mA g-1 for SIBs). This work develops a method for promoting the practical applications and large-scale production of SnS2 composites for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Insertion-type anode materials with beneficial micro- and nanostructures are proved to be promising for high-performance electrochemical metal ion storage. In this work, heterostructured TiO2 shperes with tunable interiors and shells are controllably fabricated through newly proposed programs, resulting in enhanced pseudocapacitive response as well as favorable Na+ storage kinetics and performances. In addition, reasonably designed nanosheets in the extrinsic shells are also able to reduce the excess space generated by hierarchical structure, thus improving the packing density of TiO2 shperes. Lastly, detailed density functional theory calculations with regard to sodium intercalation and diffusion in TiO2 crystal units are also employed, further proving the significance of the surface-controlled pseudocapacitive Na+ storage mechanism. The structure design strategies and experimental results demonstrated in this work are meaningful for electrode material preparation with high rate performance and volume energy density.
