J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 669:647-656. [PMID: 38733876 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Alloying-type anode materials are considered promising candidates for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacities. However, their application is limited by the severe capacity decay stemming from dramatic volume changes during Na+ insertion/extraction processes. Here, Pb nanospheres encapsulated in a carbon skeleton (Pb@C) were successfully synthesized via a facile metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived method and used as anodes for SIBs. The nanosized Pb particles are uniformly incorporated into the porous carbon framework, effectively mitigating volume changes and enhancing Na+ ion transport during discharging/charging. Benefiting from this unique architecture, a reversible capacity of 334.2 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 is achieved after 6000 cycles corresponding to an impressive 88.2 % capacity retention and a minimal capacity loss of 0.00748 % per cycle. Furthermore, a high-performance full sodium-ion battery of Pb@C//NVPF was constructed, demonstrating a high energy density of 291 Wh kg-1 and power density of 175 W kg-1. This facile MOFs-derived method offers insights into the design of high-capacity alloy-type anode materials using Pb sources, opening up new possibilities for innovative approaches to Pb recycling and pollution prevention.

Abstract
MoSe2 has attracted significant interest for Na+ storage due to its large interlayer distance, favorable band gap structure, and satisfying theoretical specific capacity. Nevertheless, the poor conductivity and large volume stress/strain always lead to poor cycle stability and limited rate capability. Herein, the P-Se bond and phase engineering strategies are proposed to enhance the stability of MoSe2 with the assistance of carbon compositing. Systematical characterizations confirm that the presence of a strong P-Se bond can ensure the good structural stability and enlarge the layer distance of the MoSe2 anode. 1T phase-enriched composition endows excellent conductivity and thus fast Na+ transport kinetics. Additionally, the combination of carbon contributes to the improvement of electron conductivity, further enhancing the reversible Na+ storage and cyclic stability. Consequently, an ultrastable reversible specific capacity of 347.8 mAh g-1 with a high retention ratio of 99.1% can be maintained after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1, which is superior to the previous reports of MoSe2 nanosheets. The presented strategy is ingenious, offering an effective guidance to designing advanced electrodes to be applied in rechargeable batteries with a long lifespan.

Abstract
Alloying-type anodes show capacity and density advantages for sodium/potassium-ion batteries (SIBs/PIBs), but they encounter serious structural degradation upon cycling, which cannot be resolved through conventional nanostructuring techniques. Herein, we present an in-depth study to reveal the intrinsic reason for the pulverization of bismuth (Bi) materials upon (de)alloying, and report a novel particle-in-bulk architecture with Bi nanospheres inlaid in the bulk carbon (BiNC) to achieve durable Na/K storage. We simulate the volume-expansion-resistant mechanism of Bi during the (de)alloying reaction, and unveil that the irreversible phase transition upon (de)alloying underlies the fundamental origin for the structural degradation of Bi anode, while a proper compressive stress (~10 %) raised by the bulk carbon can trigger a "domino-like" Bi crystal recovering. Consequently, the as obtained BiNC exhibits a record high volumetric capacity (823.1 mAh cm-3 for SIBs, 848.1 mAh cm-3 for PIBs) and initial coulombic efficiency (95.3 % for SIBs, 96.4 % for PIBs), and unprecedented cycling stability (15000 cycles for SIBs with only 0.0015 % degradation per cycle), outperforming the state-of-the-art literature. This work provides new insights on the undesirable structural evolution, and proposes basic guidelines for design of the anti-degradation structure for alloy-type electrode materials.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as the ideal candidates for the next generation of electrochemical energy storage devices. The major challenges of anode lie in poor cycling stability and the sluggish kinetics attributed to the inherent large Na+ size. In this work, Bi nanosphere encapsulated in N-doped carbon nanowires (Bi@N-C) is assembled by facile electrospinning and carbonization. N-doped carbon mitigates the structure stress/strain during alloying/dealloying, optimizes the ionic/electronic diffusion, and provides fast electron transfer and structural stability. Due to the excellent structure, Bi@N-C shows excellent Na storage performance in SIBs in terms of good cycling stability and rate capacity in half cells and full cells. The fundamental mechanism of the outstanding electrochemical performance of Bi@N-C has been demonstrated through synchrotron in-situ XRD, atomic force microscopy, ex-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Importantly, a deeper understanding of the underlying reasons of the performance improvement is elucidated, which is vital for providing the theoretical basis for application of SIBs.

Abstract
The sluggish ions-transfer and inhomogeneous ions-nucleation induce the formation of randomly oriented dendrites on Zn anode, while the chemical instability at anode-electrolyte interface triggers detrimental side reactions. Herein, this report in situ designs a multifunctional hybrid interphase of Bi/Bi2O3, for the first time resulting in a novel synergistic regulation mechanism involving: (i) chemically inert interface protection mechanism suppresses side reactions; and more fantastically, (ii) innovative thermodynamically favorable Zn atomic clusters dissociation mechanism impedes dendrites formation. Assisted by collaborative modulation behavior, the Zn@Bi/Bi2O3 symmetry cell delivers an ultrahigh cumulative plating capacity of 1.88 Ah cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2 and ultralong lifetimes of 300 h even at high current density and depth of discharge (10 mA cm-2, DODZn: 60%). Furthermore, under a low electrolyte-to-capacity ratio (E/C: 45 µL mAh-1) and negative-to-positive capacity ratio (N/P: 6.3), Zn@Bi/Bi2O3||MnO2 full-cell exhibits a superior capacity retention of 86.7% after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1, which outperforms most existing interphases. The scaled-up Zn@Bi/Bi2O3||MnO2 battery module (6 V, 1 Ah), combined with the photovoltaic panel, presents excellent renewable-energy storage ability and long output lifetime (12 h). This work provides a fantastic synergistic mechanism to achieve the ultrastable Zn anode and can be greatly promised to apply it into other metal-based batteries.

Abstract
High-loading electrodes play a crucial role in designing practical high-energy batteries as they reduce the proportion of non-active materials, such as current separators, collectors, and battery packaging components. This design approach not only enhances battery performance but also facilitates faster processing and assembly, ultimately leading to reduced production costs. Despite the existing strategies to improve rechargeable battery performance, which mainly focus on novel electrode materials and high-performance electrolyte, most reported high electrochemical performances are achieved with low loading of active materials (<2 mg cm-2). Such low loading, however, fails to meet application requirements. Moreover, when attempting to scale up the loading of active materials, significant challenges are identified, including sluggish ion diffusion and electron conduction kinetics, volume expansion, high reaction barriers, and limitations associated with conventional electrode preparation processes. Unfortunately, these issues are often overlooked. In this review, the mechanisms responsible for the decay in the electrochemical performance of high-loading electrodes are thoroughly discussed. Additionally, efficient solutions, such as doping and structural design, are summarized to address these challenges. Drawing from the current achievements, this review proposes future directions for development and identifies technological challenges that must be tackled to facilitate the commercialization of high-energy-density rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
A highly viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries for stationary electrochemical energy-storage systems is the potassium dual-ion hybrid capacitor (PIHC), especially toward fast-charging capability. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics of negative electrode materials seriously impedes their practical implementation. In this paper, a new negative electrode Bi@RPC (Nano-bismuth confined in nitrogen- and oxygen-doped carbon with rationally designed pores, evidenced by advanced characterization) is developed, leading to a remarkable electrochemical performance. PIHCs building with the active carbon YP50F positive electrode result in a high operation voltage (0.1-4 V), and remarkably well-retained energy density at a high-power density (11107 W kg-1 at 98 Wh kg-1 ). After 5000 cycles the proposed PHICs still show a superior capacity retention of 92.6%. Moreover, a reversible mechanism of "absorption-alloying" of the Bi@RPC nanocomposite is revealed by operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. With the synergistic potassium ions storage mechanism arising from the presence of well-structured pores and nano-sized bismuth, the Bi@RPC electrode exhibits an astonishingly rapid kinetics and high energy density. The results demonstrate that PIHCs with Bi@RPC-based negative electrode is the promising option for simultaneously high-capacity and fast-charging energy storage devices.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are considered reliable supplies for next-generation energy devices. However, there is a limited understanding of strategies to prevent the performance deterioration of SIBs under extreme temperature conditions. This study aimed to address this challenge by developing modified electrolyte chemistry to achieve stable wide-temperature SIBs. Weakly Na+-solvating solvent 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MeTHF) was used to promote the kinetics of Na+ de-solvation. Moreover, 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) was introduced as a co-solvent because of the high solubility for Na salts and the coupling reaction mechanism with the Bi electrode. The formulated electrolyte not only endows an anion-dominated NaF-rich solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer, but also reduces the energy required for the Na+ across the SEI layer (from 291.2 to 89.6 meV). Consequently, Na||Bi half batteries achieve stable cycles at 400 mA g-1 at -20, 20 and 60 °C, respectively. Meanwhile, the extreme operating temperature of the batteries can be extended to -40 and 80 °C, which exceeds those of most current lithium/sodium-based batteries. Furthermore, full batteries employing Na3V2(PO4)3 as the cathode material exhibit stable operation over a wide temperature range of -20 to 60 °C. This electrolyte design strategy presented in this study shows significant promise for enabling wide-temperature SIBs with improved performance.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to produce formic acid is gaining prominence as a critical technology in the pursuit of carbon neutrality. Nonetheless, it remains challenging to attain both substantial formic acid production and high stability across a wide voltage range, particularly when utilizing bismuth-based catalysts. Herein, we present a novel graphene quantum dot-mediated synthetic strategy to achieve the uniform deposition of highly dispersed bismuth nanoparticles on porous graphene. This innovative design achieves an elevated faradaic efficiency for formate of 87.0% at -1.11 V vs. RHE with high current density and long-term stability. When employing a flow cell, a maximum FEformate of 80.0% was attained with a total current density of 156.5 mA cm-2. The exceptional catalytic properties can be primarily attributed to the use of porous graphene as the support and the auxiliary contribution of graphene quantum dots, which enhance the dispersion of bismuth nanoparticles. This improved dispersion, in turn, has a significantly positive impact on CO2 activation and the generation of *HCOO intermediates to facilitate the formation of formate. This work presents a straightforward technique to create uniform metal nanoparticles on carbon materials for advancing various electrolytic applications.

[PMID: 37838943 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202305957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023]
Abstract
Transition-metal sulfides have been regarded as perspective anode candidates for high-energy Na-ion batteries. Their application, however, is precluded severely by either low charge storage or huge volumetric change along with sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, an effective synergetic Sn incorporation-Zn substitution strategy is proposed based on copper-based sulfides. First, Na-ion storage capability of copper sulfide is significantly improved via incorporating an alloy-based Sn element. However, this process is accompanied by sacrifice of structural stability due to the high Na-ion uptake. Subsequently, to maintain the high Na-ion storage capacity, and concurrently improve cycling and rate capabilities, a Zn substitution strategy (taking partial Sn sites) is carried out, which could significantly promote Na-ion diffusion/reaction kinetics and relieve mechanical strain-stress within the crystal framework. The synergetic Sn incorporation and Zn substitution endow copper-based sulfides with high specific capacity (≈560 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 ), ultrastable cyclability (80 k cycles with ≈100% capacity retention), superior rate capability up to 200 A g-1 , and ultrafast charging feature (≈4 s per charging with ≈190 mAh g-1 input). This work provides in-depth insights for developing superior anode materials via synergetic multi-cation incorporation/substitution, aiming at solving their intrinsic issues of either low specific capacity or poor cyclability.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging tumor microenvironment-responsive cancer therapeutic strategy based on Fenton/Fenton-like reactions. However, the effectiveness of CDT is subject to the slow kinetic rate and non-homogeneous distribution of H2 O2 . In this study, a conceptual non-metallic "Fenton-active" center construction strategy is proposed to enhance CDT efficiency using Bi0.44 Ba0.06 Na0.5 TiO2.97 (BNBT-6) nanocrystals. The separated charge carriers under a piezoelectric-induced electric field synchronize the oxidation of H2 O and reduction of H2 O2 , which consequently increases hydroxyl radical (·OH) yield even under low H2 O2 levels. Moreover, acceptor doping induces electron-rich oxygen vacancies to facilitate the dissociation of H2 O2 and H2 O and further promote ·OH generation. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that BNBT-6 induces extensive intracellular oxidative stress and enhances cell-killing efficiency by activating necroptosis in addition to the conventional apoptotic pathway. This study proposes a novel design approach for nanomaterials used in CDT and presents a new treatment strategy for apoptosis-resistant tumors.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenide (TMD) electrodes in sodium-ion batteries exhibit intrinsic shortcomings such as sluggish reaction kinetics, unstable conversion thermodynamics, and substantial volumetric strain effects, which lead to electrochemical failure. This report unlocks a design paradigm of VSe2- x /C in-plane heterojunction with built-in anion vacancy, achieved through an in situ functionalization and self-limited growth approach. Theoretical and experimental investigations reveal the bifunctional role of the Se vacancy in enhancing the ion diffusion kinetics and the structural thermodynamics of Nax VSe2 active phases. Moreover, this in-plane heterostructure facilitates complete face contact between the two components and tight interfacial conductive contact between the conversion phases, resulting in enhanced reaction reversibility. The VSe2- x /C heterojunction electrode exhibits remarkable sodium-ion storage performance, retaining specific capacities of 448.7 and 424.9 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at current densities of 5 and 10 A g-1 , respectively. Moreover, it exhibits a high specific capacity of 353.1 mAh g-1 even under the demanding condition of 100 A g-1 , surpassing most previous achievements. The proposed strategy can be extended to other V5 S8- x and V2 O5- x -based heterojunctions, marking a conceptual breakthrough in advanced electrode design for constructing high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) has attracted attention as a promising anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its suitable potential and high theoretical capacity. However, the large volumetric changes during cycling leads to severe degradation of electrochemical performance and limits its practical application. Herein, Bi nanoflowers are encapsulated in N-doped carbon frameworks to construct a novel Bi@NC composite via a facile solvothermal method and carbonization strategy. The well-designed composite structure endows the Bi@NC with uniformly dispersed Bi nanoflowers to alleviate the attenuation while the N-doped carbon frameworks improve the conductivity and ion transport of the whole electrode. As for sodium-ion half-cell, the electrode exhibits a high specific capacity (384.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ) and excellent rate performance (341.5 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 ), and the capacity retention rate still remains at 94.9% after 5000 cycles at 10 A g-1 . Furthermore, the assembled full-cell with Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 cathode and Bi@NC anode can deliver a high capacity of 251.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , and its capacity attenuates only 0.009% in each cycle after 2000 times at 5.0 A g-1 . This work offers a convenient, low-cost, and eco-friendliness approach for high-performance electrodes in the field of sodium ion electrochemical storage technology.

Abstract
Sodium ion capacitors (SICs) that combine the merits of both rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors have gained widespread recognition for their high energy density and extended cycle life as new energy storage devices. However, the purposeful design of advanced battery-type anodes has become an urgent need to remedy the dynamics mismatch with the capacitive cathode. Herein, we propose a simple but efficient bottom-up approach to build three-dimensional Mo2C/C hybrid architectures in situ as anodes for SICs. By finely regulating the ratio of carbon and molybdenum sources, the optimized Mo2C/C, where even thinner subunit assembled Mo2C nanodisk (∼47.1 nm in thickness) arrays are immobilized on carbon nanosheet substrate via the synchronous embedded growth, rapid electron and ion diffusion/transport expressways, abundant active sites and robust structural stability were achieved for efficient sodium storage. Benefiting from the synergistic contributions of the components, the optimum Mo2C/C anode displays an outstanding rate and long-cycle properties as a competitive anode. Moreover, the constructed Mo2C/C-based SICs exhibited an energy density of ∼16.7 W h kg-1 at 10 kW h kg-1, along with ∼22.5% capacitance degradation over 4000 cycles at 1 A g-1. This contribution will guide the precise synthesis of other versatile Mo2C-based hybrids towards energy-related applications and beyond.

Abstract
Bismuth is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high capacity and suitable working potential. However, the large volume change during alloying/dealloying would lead to poor cycling performance. Herein, we have constructed a 3D hierarchical structure assembled by bismuth nanosheets, addressing the challenges of fast kinetics, and providing efficient stress and strain relief room. The uniform bismuth nanosheets are prepared via a molten salt-assisted aluminum thermal reduction method. Compared with the commercial bismuth powder, the bismuth nanosheets present a larger specific surface area and interlayer spacing, which is beneficial for sodium ion insertion and release. As a result, the bismuth nanosheet anode presents excellent sodium storage properties with an ultralong cycle life of 6500 cycles at a high current density of 10 A g-1, and an excellent capacity retention of 87% at an ultrahigh current rate of 30 A g-1. Moreover, the full SIBs that paired with the Na3V2(PO4)3/rGO cathode exhibited excellent performance. This work not only presents a novel strategy for preparing bismuth nanosheets with significantly increased interlayer spacing but also offers a straightforward synthesis method utilizing low-cost precursors. Furthermore, the outstanding performance demonstrated by these nanosheets indicates their potential for various practical applications.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted tremendous attention as promising low-cost energy storage devices in future grid-scale energy management applications. Bismuth is a promising anode for SIBs due to its high theoretical capacity (386 mAh g-1 ). Nevertheless, the huge volume variation of Bi anode during (de)sodiation processes can cause the pulverization of Bi particulates and rupture of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), resulting in quick capacity decay. It is demonstrated that rigid carbon framework and robust SEI are two essentials for stable Bi anodes. A lignin-derived carbonlayer wrapped tightly around the bismuth nanospheres provides a stable conductive pathway, while the delicate selection of linear and cyclic ether-based electrolytes enable robust and stable SEI films. These two merits enable the long-term cycling process of the LC-Bi anode. The LC-Bi composite delivers outstanding sodium-ion storage performance with an ultra-long cycle life of 10 000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1 and an excellent rate capability of 94% capacity retention at an ultrahigh current density of 100 A g-1 . Herein, the underlying origins of performance improvement of Bi anode are elucidated, which provides a rational design strategy for Bi anodes in practical SIBs.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) has emerged as a promising candidate for sodium-ion battery anodes because of its unique layered crystal structure, superior volumetric capacity, and high theoretical gravimetric capacity. However, the large volume expansion and severe aggregation of Bi during the alloying/dealloying reactions are extremely detrimental to cycling stability, which seriously hinders its practical application. To overcome these issues, we propose an effective synthesis of composite materials, encapsulating Bi nanoparticles in N,S co-doped carbon nanoribbons and composites with carbon nanotubes (N,S-C@Bi/CNT), using Bi2S3 nanobelts as templates. The uniform distribution of Bi nanoparticles and the structure of carbon nanoribbons can reduce the diffusion path of ions/electrons, efficiently buffer the large volume change and prevent Bi from aggregating during cycles. As expected, the N,S-C@Bi/CNT electrode shows superior sodium storage performance in half cells, including a high specific capacity (345.3 mA h g-1 at 1.0 A g-1), long cycling stability (1000 cycles), and superior rate capability (336.0 mA h g-1 at 10.0 A g-1).

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) with the particular features of severe hypoxia, insufficient endogenous H2O2, and overexpression of glutathione (GSH) markedly reduced the antitumor efficacy of monotherapy. Herein, a TME-responsive multifunctional nanoplatform (Bi2S3@Bi@PDA-HA/Art NRs) was presented for synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to achieve better therapeutic outcomes. The Z-scheme heterostructured bismuth sulfide@bismuth nanorods (Bi2S3@Bi NRs) guaranteed excellent photothermal performance of the nanoplatform. Moreover, its ability to produce O2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) synchronously could relieve tumor hypoxia and improve PDT outcomes. The densely coated polydopamine/ammonium bicarbonate (PDA/ABC) and hyaluronic acid (HA) layers on the surface of the nanoplatform enhanced the cancer-targeting capacity and induced the acidic TME-triggered in situ "bomb-like" release of Art. The CDT treatment was achieved by activating the released Art through intracellular Fe2+ ions in an H2O2-independent manner. Furthermore, decreasing the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) levels by Art could also increase the PDT efficiency of Bi2S3@Bi NRs. Owing to the synergistic effect, this nanoplatform displayed improved antitumor efficacy with minimal toxicity both in vitro and in vivo. Our design sheds light on the application of phototherapy combined with the traditional Chinese medicine monomer-artesunate in treating the hypoxic tumor.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 643:409-419. [PMID: 37084621 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.04.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023]
Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) is a promising material as the anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its characteristics such as reasonable price and high theoretical volumetric capacity (3800 mAh cm-3). Nevertheless, considerable drawbacks have hindered the practical applications of Bi, including its relatively low electrical conductivity and inevitable volumetric change during the alloying/dealloying processes. To solve these problems, we proposed a novel design:Bi nanoparticles were synthesized via a single-step low-pressure vapor-phase reaction and embedded onto the surfaces of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). After being vaporized at 650℃ and 10-5 Pa, Bi nanoparticles less than 10 nm were uniformly distributed in the three-dimensional (3D) MWCNT networks to form a Bi/MWNTs composite. In this unique design, the nanostructured Bi can reduce the risk of structural rupture during cycling, and the structure of the MWCMT network is beneficial in shortening the electron/ion transport path. In addition, MWCNTs can improve the overall conductivity of the Bi/MWCNTs composite and prevent particle aggregation, thus improving the cycling stability and rate performance. As an anode material for SIB, the Bi/MWCNTs composite has demonstrated excellent fast charging performance with a reversible capacity of 254 mAh/g at 20 A/g. A capacity of 221mAhg-1 after cycling at 10 A/g for 8000 cycles has also been achieved for SIB. As an anode material for PIB, the Bi/MWCNTs composite has delivered excellent rate performances with a reversible capacity of 251 mAh/g at 20 A/g. A specific capacity of 270mAhg-1 after cycling at 1Ag-1 for 5000 cycles has also been achieved for PIB.

Abstract
High capacity, long cycle life, and fast kinetics are highly desired for alloying anodes in sodium ion capacitors (SICs). However, the huge repeatedly volume changes during the alloying/dealloying process cause electrode pulverization, seriously degrading the capacity and cycling stability. To address this issue, we developed a microwave irradiation technology for the in-situ growth of nano-sized Bi uniformly anchored on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The as-synthesized freestanding electrode film effectively retards the pulverization of Bi nanoparticles, enabling fast sodium storage kinetics for high-power performance (278.1 mAh g-1 @ 30 A g-1), as well as high-capacity retention of 94% for over 3,500 cycles. The coin-cell type SICs of a Bi/CNTs anode paired with an activated carbon (AC)/CNTs cathode can deliver a maximum energy density of 128.5 Wh kg-1 and a high power density of 12.3 kW kg-1 with a remaining energy density of 85 Wh kg-1. Additionally, the flexible quasi-solid SICs using a gel electrolyte demonstrated a high volumetric energy density of 21 mWh cm-3 with good cycling stability (90%) for over 1500 cycles. These results show great promise for our developed SICs as the next-generation energy storage to bridge the performance gap between batteries and supercapacitors, as well as for flexible energy storage applications.

Abstract
A dual-mechanism energy storage strategy is proposed, involving the electrochemical process of sodium ion battery (SIB) and sodium metal battery (SMB). This strategy is expected to achieve a higher capacity than SIB, and obtain dendrite-free growth of SMB with a well-designed anode. Here, self-constructed bismuth with "sodiophilic" framework and rapid ion transmission characteristics is employed as the sodium host (anode) integrating alloy/de-alloy and plating/stripping process that suppresses the dendrite growth and overcomes the limited capacity of traditional anode. Benefited from this, the capacity (capacity contributed by alloy and plating of sodium in total) of 2000 mAh g-1 can be reached, which can retain up to 800 h at 1 A g-1 . Also, the capacity of 3100 mAh g-1 can be achieved that is ≈7.7 times than that of alloyed-bismuth (Bi). This work proposes a dual-mechanism strategy to tackle the dilemma of high-performance sodium (Na) storage devices, which opens a new avenue for the development of next-generation energy storage device.

Abstract
Alloy-type anodes are the most promising candidates for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their impressive Na storage capacity and suitable voltage platform. However, the implementation of alloy-type anodes is significantly hindered by their huge volume expansion during the alloying/dealloying processes, which leads to their pulverization and detachment from current collectors for active materials and the unsatisfactory cycling performance. In this work, bimetallic Bi-Sb solid solutions in a porous carbon matrix are synthesized by a pyrolysis method as anode material for SIBs. Adjustable alloy composition, the introduction of porous carbon matrix, and nanosized bimetallic particles effectively suppress the volume change during cycling and accelerate the electrons/ions transport kinetics. The optimized Bi1Sb1@C electrode exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance with an ultralong cycle life (167.2 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 over 8000 cycles). In situ X-ray diffraction investigation is conducted to reveal the reversible and synchronous sodium storage pathway of the Bi1Sb1@C electrode: (Bi,Sb) Na(Bi,Sb) Na3(Bi,Sb). Furthermore, online electrochemical mass spectrometry unveils the evolution of gas products of the Bi1Sb1@C electrode during the cell operation.

Abstract
Metal oxides, as promising electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries, usually need to be formed by exposure to oxygen, which usually thermally corrodes the carbon material with which they are compounded, reducing their flexibility and electrical conductivity. Herein, we present for the first time a preoxidation-assisted mechanism to prepare bismuth oxide and carbon nanofibers (Bi2O3@C-NFs) by electrospinning, using Bi2S3 nanorods as multifunctional templates. The bismuth could be oxidized by C═O bonds formed through the cyclization reaction in the high-temperature calcination process, effectively avoiding thermal corrosion of carbon in oxygen atmosphere at high temperature. More importantly, the uniformly distributed Bi2O3 nanodots and longitudinal tunnels are formed inside the S- and N-doped carbon nanofibers with the continuous diffusion of Bi generated from the decomposition of Bi2S3 nanorods and the conversion to Bi─O bonds with C═O bonds being broken. Benefiting from the structural and composition merits arising from preoxidation, Bi2O3@C-NFs self-supporting anodes show high specific capacity (439 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), superior rate performance (243 mAh g-1 at a current density of 20 A g-1), and outstanding cycling stability (211 mAh g-1 after 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1). The effective combination of the well-established electrospinning technology and the preoxidation assisted mechanism provides a new way for the preparation of metal oxide and carbon composites.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous sodium ion batteries (ASIBs) are rising as an important alternative to lithium ion batteries, owing to their safety and low cost. Metal anodes show a high theoretical capacity and nonselective hydrated ion insertion for ASIBs, yet their large volume expansion and sluggish reaction kinetics resulted in poor electrochemical stability. Herein, we demonstrate an electrode cyclability enhancement mechanism by inlaying bismuth (Bi) nanoparticles on graphene nanosheets through chemical bond, which is achieved by a unique laser induced compounding method. This anchored metal-graphene heterostructure can effectively mitigate volume variation, and accelerate the kinetic capability as the active Bi can be exposed to the electrolyte. Our method can achieve a reversible capacity of 122 mAh g-1 at a large current density of 4 A g-1 for over 9500 cycles. This finding offers a desirable structural design of other metal anodes for aqueous energy storage systems.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) has emerged as a promising anode material for fast-charging and long-cycling sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, its dramatically volumetric variations during cycling will undesirably cause the pulverization of active materials, severely limiting the electrochemical performance of Bi-based electrodes. Constructing hollow nanostructures is recognized as an effective way to resolve the volume expansion issues of alloy-type anodes but remains a great challenge for metallic bismuth. Here, we report a facile iodine-ion-assisted galvanic replacement approach for the synthesis of Bi nanotubes (NTs) for high-rate, long-term and high-capacity sodium storage. The hollow tubular structure effectively alleviates the structural strain during sodiation/desodiation processes, resulting in excellent structural stability; the thin wall and large surface area enable ultrafast sodium ion transport. Benefiting from the structural merits, the Bi NT electrode exhibits extraordinary rate capability (84% capacity retention at 150 A g-1) and outstanding cycling stability (74% capacity retention for 65,000 cycles at 50 A g-1), which represent the best rate performance and longest cycle life among all reported anodes for SIBs. Moreover, when coupled with the Na3(VOPO4)2F cathode in full cells, this electrode also demonstrates excellent cycling performance, showing the great promise of Bi NTs for practical application. A combination of advanced research techniques reveals that the excellent performance originates from the structural robustness of the Bi NTs and the fast electrochemical kinetics during cycling.

Abstract
Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) have aroused widespread interest in large-scale applications due to their low cost, high volumetric capacity, and safety. However, magnesium (Mg) metals are incompatible with conventional electrolytes, making it difficult to plate and strip reversibly. Therefore, developing novel Mg2+ host anodes remains a huge challenge. Herein, we present a rational design and fabrication of binary Bi@Sn alloy nanoparticles embedded in carbon sheets (Bi@Sn-C) as a superior anode for MIBs employing phase separation during the annealing of bimetallic MOFs. The Bi@Sn-C simultaneously integrates the nanostructure design and multi-element coordination strategies which is favorable to improve the overall structural stability and Mg2+ diffusion kinetics. Benefiting from the aforementioned features, the Bi@Sn-C electrodes deliver good cycling stability of 214 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles and rate capability with 200 mA h g-1 at 500 mA g-1. And when using all-phenyl complex with lithium chloride (LiCl-APC) dual-salt electrolyte, the electrochemical performance of Bi@Sn-C is further optimized and shows enhanced rate performance (238 mA h g-1 at 500 mA g-1) and reversible capacity (308 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles). This novel strategy holds great promise for designing efficient alloy electrode materials for MIBs.

Abstract
It is challenging to develop alloying anodes with ultrafast charging and large energy storage using bulk anode materials because of the difficulty of carrier-ion diffusion and fragmentation of the active electrode material. Herein, a rational strategy is reported to design bulk Bi anodes for Na-ion batteries that feature ultrafast charging, long cyclability, and large energy storage without using expensive nanomaterials and surface modifications. It is found that bulk Bi particles gradually transform into a porous nanostructure during cycling in a glyme-based electrolyte, whereas the resultant structure stores Na ions by forming phases with high Na diffusivity. These features allow the anodes to exhibit unprecedented electrochemical properties; the developed Na-Bi half-cell delivers 379 mA h g-1 (97% of that measured at 1C) at 7.7 A g-1 (20C) during 3500 cycles. It also retained 94% and 93% of the capacity measured at 1C even at extremely fast-charging rates of 80C and 100C, respectively. The structural origins of the measured properties are verified by experiments and first-principles calculations. The findings of this study not only broaden understanding of the underlying mechanisms of fast-charging anodes, but also provide basic guidelines for searching battery anodes that simultaneously exhibit high capacities, fast kinetics, and long cycling stabilities.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as an alternative technology because of their merits in abundance and cost. Realizing their real applications, however, remains a formidable challenge. One is that among the limitations of anode materials, the alloy-type candidates tolerate fast capacity fading during cycling. Here, a 3D framework superstructure assembled with carbon nanobelt arrays decorated with a metallic bismuth (Bi) nanospheres coated carbon layer by thermolysis of Bi-based metal-organic framework nanorods is synthesized as an anode material for SIBs. Due to the unique structural superiority, the anode design promotes excellent sodium-storage performance in terms of high capacity, excellent cycling stability, and ultrahigh rate capability up to 80 A g-1 with a capacity of 308.8 mAh g-1 . The unprecedented sodium-storage ability is not only attributed to the unique hybrid architecture, but also to the production of a homogeneous and thin solid electrolyte interface layer and the formation of uniform porous nanostructures during cycling in the ether-based electrolyte. Importantly, deeper understanding of the underlying cause of the performance improvement is illuminated, which is vital to provide the theoretical basis for application of SIBs.

Abstract
Layered transition-metal oxides are promising candidate cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their abundant raw materials and high theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, a long-time high-temperature heat treatment is required in traditional preparation methods, leading to low synthesis efficiency and waste of energy. Herein, an ultrafast preparation method of layered transition-metal oxides was proposed through minute calcination of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The homogeneous distribution of different atoms in MOFs allows fast phase transition during the calcination process. P'2-phase layered sodium manganese oxide was successfully obtained and demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance, with a high reversible capacity of 212 mA h g-1 and a cycling performance of 84% capacity retention after 100 cycles. Furthermore, this method can be expanded to a wide variety of MOF precursors and oxide electrode materials for different types of batteries. Our findings provide an efficient and cost-effective synthesis method for high-performance layered transition-metal oxide cathodes.

Abstract
Although transitional metal dichalcogenides have been regarded as appealing electrodes for sodium/potassium-ion batteries (SIBs/PIBs) owing to their high theoretical capacity, it is a key challenge to realize dichalcogenide anodes with long-period cycling performance and high-rate capability because of their poor conductivity and large volumetric change. Herein, polypyrrole-encapsulated VSe2 nanoplates (VSe2@PPy) were prepared by the selenization of VOOH hollow nanospheres and subsequent in situ polymerization and coating by pyrrole. Benefiting from the inherent metallicity of VSe2, the improvement in the conductivity and the structural protection provided by the PPy layer, the VSe2@PPy nanoplates exhibited enhanced sodium/potassium-storage performances, delivering a superior rate capability with a capacity of 260.0 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 in SIBs and 148.6 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 in PIBs, as well as revealing an ultrastability in cycling of 324.6 mA h g-1 after 2800 cycles at 4 A g-1 in SIBs. Moreover, the insertion and conversion mechanisms of VSe2@PPy in SIBs with intermediates of Na0.6VSe2, NaVSe2, and VSe were elucidated by in situ/ex situ X-ray diffraction combined with ex situ transmission electron microscopy observation and in situ potentio-electrochemical impedance spectroscopy during the sodiation and desodiation processes. Density functional theory calculations show that the strong coupling between VSe2 and PPy not only causes it to have a stronger total density of states and a built-in electric field, leading to an increased electrical conductivity, but also effectively decreases the ion diffusion barrier.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered to be strong candidates for large-scale energy storage with the benefits of cost-effectiveness and sodium abundance. Reliable electrolytes, as ionic conductors that regulate the electrochemical reaction behavior and the nature of the interface and electrode, are indispensable in the development of advanced SIBs with high Coulombic efficiency, stable cycling performance and high rate capability. Conventional carbonate-based electrolytes encounter numerous obstacles for their wide application in SIBs due to the formation of a dissolvable, continuous-thickening solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer and inferior stability with electrodes. Comparatively, ether-based electrolytes (EBEs) are emerging in the secondary battery field with fascinating properties to improve the performance of batteries, especially SIBs. Their stable solvation structure enables highly reversible solvent-co-intercalation reactions and the formation of a thin and stable SEI. However, although EBEs can provide more stable cycling and rapid sodiation kinetics in electrodes, benefitting from their favorable electrolyte/electrode interactions such as chemical compatibility and good wettability, their special chemistry is still being investigated and puzzling. In this review, we provide a thorough and comprehensive overview on the developmental history, fundamental characteristics, superiorities and mechanisms of EBEs, together with their advances in other battery systems. Notably, the relation among electrolyte science, interfacial chemistry and electrochemical performance is highlighted, which is of great significance for the in-depth understanding of battery chemistry. Finally, future perspectives and potential directions are proposed to navigate the design and optimization of electrolytes and electrolyte/electrode interfaces for advanced batteries.

Abstract
Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) is an auspicious anode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity and abundant Bi resources. However, the poor electronic conductivity and huge volume expansion of Bi2O3 during cycling lead to the low coulombic efficiency and unstable cycling stability. Aiming to suppress these issues, we use highly conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a continuous skeleton to fabricate a Bi2O3@rGO heterostructure. It exhibits high reversibility and stability for electrochemical sodium storage by delivering a reversible capacity of 161 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 50 mA g−1, which completely outperforms Bi2O3 (43 mAh g−1). In addition, the coulombic efficiency of the heterostructure stabilizes at >90% upon only 3 cycles. The results can be attributed to the dual function of rGO in supporting Bi2O3 nanoparticles and providing conductive pathways to fasten electron transport.

Abstract
Metal selenides, as potential alternative candidates for sodium storage, have promising applicability due to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, their huge volume change and sluggish electrode kinetics during sodium ion uptake and release processes can result in insufficient cycling life and inferior rate performance, hindering their practical application. Herein, nitrogen (N)-doped carbon-confined cobalt selenide anchored on multiwalled carbon nanotube networks (denoted as CoSe2@NC/MWCNTs) was designed and successfully built through a selenization process with ZIF-67 MOF as the template. The existence of the interconnected MWCNT network plays a crucial role in not only enhancing the electronic conductivity and ion/electron-transfer efficiency but also ensuring structural stability. Consequently, the optimized CoSe2@NC/MWCNTs composite delivers a high reversible capacity of 479.6 mA h g-1 at a current rate of 0.2 A g-1, accompanied by a 92.0% capacity retention over 100 cycles and a predominant rate performance of 227.4 mA h g-1 even under 20 A g-1 when examined as the anode in Na-ion batteries. Moreover, the kinetic behaviors were confirmed using CV profiles at various rates, as well as the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Besides, the HRTEM images clearly reveal the sodium-ion storage mechanism of the CoSe2 hybrid. These results make CoSe2@NC/MWCNTs a prospective anode material in advanced sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Electrochemical deionization (EDI) is hopefully the next generation of water treatment technology. Bismuth (Bi) is a promising anode material for EDI, due to its high capacity and selectivity toward Cl-, but the large volume expansion and severe pulverization aggressively attenuated the EDI cycling performance of Bi electrodes. Herein, carbon-layer-encapsulated nano-Bi composites (Bi@C) were prepared by a simple pyrolysis method using a Bi-based metal-organic framework as a precursor. Bi nanoparticles are uniformly coated within the carbon layer, in which the Bi-O-C bond enhances the interaction between Bi and C. Such a structure effectively relieves the stress caused by volume expansion by the encapsulation effect of the carbon layer. Moreover, the introduction of a carbon skeleton provides a conductive network. As a consequence, the Bi@C composite delivered excellent electrochemical performance with a capacity of 537.6 F g-1 at 1 mV s-1. The Cl- removal capacity was up to 133.5 mg g-1 at 20 mA g-1 in 500 mg L-1 NaCl solution. After 100 cycles, the Bi@C electrode still maintains 71.8% of its initial capacity, which is much higher than the 26.3% of the pure Bi electrode. This study provides a promising strategy for improving EDI electrode materials.

Abstract
Sodium-based dual-ion batteries have received increased attention owing to their appealing cell voltage (i.e., >3 V) and cost-effective features. However, the development of high-performance anode materials is one of the key elements for exploiting this electrochemical energy storage system at practical levels. Here, we report a source-template synthetic strategy for fabricating a variety of nanowire-in-nanotube MSxTey@C (M = Mo, W, Re) structures with an in situ-grown carbon film coating, termed as nanocables. Among the various materials prepared, the MoS1.5Te0.5@C nanocables are investigated as negative electrode active material in combination with expanded graphite at the positive electrode and NaPF6-based non-aqueous electrolyte solutions for dual-ion storage in coin cell configuration. As a result, the dual-ion lab-scale cells demonstrate a prolonged cycling lifespan with 97% capacity retention over 1500 cycles and a reversible capacity of about 101 mAh g−1 at specific capacities (based on the mass of the anode) of 1.0 A g−1 and 5.0 A g−1, respectively. Sodium-based dual-ion batteries are promising electrochemical energy storage devices. Here, the authors report a source-template synthetic strategy to prepare carbon-coated MoS1.5Te0.5 nanocables and their use as anode active materials in Na-based dual ion cells.

Abstract
Bismuth is a promising anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its suitable redox potential, large theoretical capacity, and superior electronic conductivity. Herein, we report a Bi@C (Bi nanoparticles uniformly embedded in a carbon skeleton) composite anode which delivers a superior rate performance of 244.3 mA h g−1 at 10.0 A g−1 and a reversible capacity of 255.6 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles in an optimized ether-based electrolyte. The outstanding electrochemical performance results from its robust structural design with fast reaction kinetics, which are confirmed by both experimental characterization studies and first-principles calculations. The reversible potassium storage mechanism of the Bi@C composite was also investigated by in situ X-ray diffraction. In addition, the full PIB cell assembled with a Bi@C composite anode and nickel-based Prussian blue analogue cathode exhibits high discharge voltage (3.18 V), remarkable power density (>10 kW kg−1), and an excellent capacity retention of 87.8% after 100 cycles. The results demonstrate that the PIBs with Bi anodes are promising candidates for power-type energy storage devices. An ultrahigh power density (>10 kW kg−1) potassium-ion full cell was fabricated by using a designed Bi@C composite as the anode. This workproves that potassium-ion batteries are promising candidates for power-type large-scale energy storage devices.![]()

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) has emerged as a prospective candidate as Na-ion and potassium-ion battery anodes because of its unique advantages of low cost, high theoretical gravimetric capacity (386 mAh g-1), and superior volumetric capacity (3800 mAh cm-3). However, the low electronic conductivity and the huge volume expansion of Bi during the alloying/dealloying reactions are extremely detrimental to cycling stability, which seriously hinder its practical application. To overcome these issues, we propose a rational design: Bi@C nanospheres with the unique petaloid core-shell structure are synthesized in one step for the first time and then combined with different contents of graphene (GR) nanosheets to form the composites Bi@C@GR. The Bi@C nanospheres with a core-shell structure are beneficial to shortening the transmission path of electrons/ions and reducing the risk from structural rupture of the particles during cycling. In addition, the combination of Bi@C nanospheres and porous GR could greatly improve the conductivity and prevent the aggregation of particles, which is conducive to better cycling stability and rate performance. Consequently, Bi@C@GR-2 presents a superior reversible capacity for sodium storage (300 mAh g-1 over 80 cycles) and potassium storage (200 mAh g-1 over 70 cycles) at 0.1 A g-1. Furthermore, in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and ex situ transmission electron microscopy are carried out to analyze and reflect the kinetic reaction mechanism and the phase change of the Bi@C@GR-2 electrode during the charge/discharge processes.

Abstract
Tuning optical or magnetic properties of nanoparticles, by addition of impurities, for specific applications is usually achieved at the cost of band gap and work function reduction. Additionally, conventional strategies to develop nanoparticles with a large band gap also encounter problems of phase separation and poor crystallinity at high alloying degree. Addressing the aforementioned trade-offs, here we report Ni-Zn nanoferrites with energy band gap (Eg) of ≈3.20 eV and a work function of ≈5.88 eV. While changes in the magnetoplasmonic properties of the Ni-Zn ferrite were successfully achieved with the incorporation of bismuth ions at different concentrations, there was no alteration of the band gap and work function in the developed Ni-Zn ferrite. This suggests that with the addition of minute impurities to ferrites, independent of their changes in the band gap and work function, one can tune their magnetic and optical properties, which is desired in a wide range of applications such as nanobiosensing, nanoparticle based catalysis, and renewable energy generation using nanotechnology.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are considered as low-cost electrochemical energy storage technologies because of the abundant potassium resources. However, the practical applications of KIBs are mainly hampered by the unsatisfactory electrochemical performance of anode materials which often undergo large volume variations during potassiation-depotassiation, limiting their cycling life. Here, low-cost sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (S-PAN) is reported as an attractive anode candidate for KIBs. It provides a high potassium storage capacity of 569 mAh g(S-PAN)-1 with decent rate capability and cycling stability (no capacity loss after 1500 cycles, running time ∼188 days). Detailed ex situ spectroscopic and in situ microscopic characterizations reveal that the distinguished electrochemical performance of S-PAN is attributed to the high reversibility of its covalent C-S and S-S bonds which undergo repeated cleavage-redimerization during potassiation-depotassiation concomitant with relatively small volume variation (less than 24.2%). Subsequently, a full-cell constructed by pairing high-voltage K2MnFe(CN)6 cathode with high-capacity S-PAN anode demonstrates an attractive energy density (290.9 Wh kg-1) and long-term cycling stability (1200 cycles with 95.4% capacity retention). Given the high performance and low cost of both anode and cathode materials, it is believed that the present full-cell promises it as a competitive energy storage system for the cost-sensitive grid-scale applications.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries are promising energy-storage systems, but they are facing huge challenges for developing fast-charging anode materials. Bismuth (Bi)-based anode materials are considered as candidates for fast-charging anodes of sodium-ion batteries due to their excellent rate performance. Herein, we designed a two-dimensional Bi/MXene anode material based on a hydrogen thermal reduction strategy. Benefitting from microstructure advantages, Bi/MXene anodes exhibited an excellent rate capability and superior cycle performance in Na//Bi/MXene half-batteries and Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 /C//Bi/MXene full-batteries. Moreover, full-batteries can complete a charge/discharge cycle in 7 min and maintain an excellent cycle life (over 7000 cycles). The electrochemical test results showed that Bi/MXene is a promising anode material with fast charge/discharge capability for sodium-ion batteries.

As a favorable candidate for the next-generation anode materials, metallic lithium is faced with two crucial problems: uncontrollable lithium plating/stripping process and huge volume expansion during cycling. Herein, a 3D lithiophilic skeleton modified with nanoscale Bi sheets (Ni@Bi Foam, i.e., NBF) through one-step facile substitution reaction is constructed. Benefiting from the nanoscale modification, smooth and dense lithiophilic Li3 Bi layer is in situ formed, which improves the uniform deposition of Li subsequently. Meanwhile, the 3D structure inhibits the growth of Li dendrites effectively by reducing local areal current density. Consequently, the NBF exhibits outstanding cycling stability with a high average Coulombic efficiency of 98.46% at 1 mA cm-2 with 1 mAh cm-2 (>500 cycles). Symmetrical cell with NBF exhibits a high reversibility at 1 mA cm-2 with 1 mAh cm-2 (>2000 h). Moreover, superior long-term cycling and rate performance of NBF@Li anode are also acquired when assembled with high areal loading of LiFePO4 (10.1 mg cm-2 ) cathode (Negative/Positive ratio: 2.91). Even in anode-free metal lithium batteries, NBF has higher capacity during cycling compared with NF. To conclude, NBF shows excellent electrochemical performance and provides an idea of facile preparation method which can be extend to other metal batteries.
