Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a promising technology for large-scale energy storage have received unprecedented attention. However, the cathodes in SIBs generally suffer from detrimental cathode-electrolyte interfacial side reactions and structural degradation during cycling, which leads to severe capacity fade and voltage decay. Here, we have developed an ultra-stable Na0.72Ni0.20Co0.21Mn0.55Mg0.036O2 (NCM-CS-GMg) cathode material in which a Mg-free core is encapsulated by a shell with gradient distribution of Mg using coprecipitation method with Mg-hysteretic cascade feedstock followed by calcination. From the interior to outer surface of the shell, as the content of electrochemically inactive Mg gradually increases, the Na+ deintercalation amount gradually decreases after charged. Benefiting from this surface gradient desodiation, the surface transition metal (TM) ion migration from TM layers to Na layers is effectively inhibited, thus suppressing the layered-to-rock-salt phase transition and the resultant microcracks. Besides, the less formation of high-valence TM ions on the surface contributes to a stable cathode-electrolyte interface. The as-prepared NCM-CS-GMg exhibits remarkable cycling life over 3000 cycles with a negligible voltage drop (0.127 mV per cycle). Our findings highlight an effective way to developing sustainable cathode materials without compromising on the initial specific capacity for SIBs.

Abstract
Co-free spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is emerging as a promising contender for designing next generation high-energy-density and fast-charging Li-ion batteries, due to its high operating voltage and good Li+ diffusion rate. However, further improvement of the Li+ diffusion ability and simultaneous resolution of Mn dissolution still pose significant challenges for their practical application. To tackle these challenges, a simple co-doping strategy is proposed. Compared to Pure-LNMO, the extended lattice in resulting LNMO-SbF sample provides wider Li+ migration channels, ensuring both enhanced Li+ transport kinetics, and lower energy barrier. Moreover, Sb creating structural pillar and stronger TM─F bond together provides a stabilized spinel structure, which stems from the suppression of detrimental irreversible phase transformation during cycling related to Mn dissolution. Benefiting from the synergistic effect, the LNMO-SbF material exhibits a superior reversible capacity (111.4 mAh g-1 at 5C, and 70.2 mAh g-1 after 450 cycles at 10C) and excellent long-term cycling stability at high current density (69.4% capacity retention at 5C after 1000 cycles). Furthermore, the LNMO-SbF//graphite full cell delivers an exceptional retention rate of 96.9% after 300 cycles, and provides a high energy density at 3C even with a high loading. This work provides valuable insight into the design of fast-charging cathode materials for future high energy density lithium-ion batteries.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202409152.

Abstract
Na+/vacancy ordering in sodium-ion layered oxide cathodes is widely believed to deteriorate the structural stability and retard the Na+ diffusion kinetics, but its unexplored potential advantages remain elusive. Herein, we prepared a P2-Na0.8Cu0.22Li0.08Mn0.67O2 (NCLMO-12 h) material featuring moderate Na+/vacancy and transition-metal (TM) honeycomb orderings. The appropriate Na+/vacancy ordering significantly enhances the operating voltage and the TM honeycomb ordering effectively strengthens the layered framework. Compared with the disordered material, the well-balanced dual-ordering NCLMO-12 h cathode affords a boosted working voltage from 2.85 to 3.51 V, a remarkable ~20 % enhancement in energy density, and a superior cycling stability (capacity retention of 86.5 % after 500 cycles). The solid-solution reaction with a nearly "zero-strain" character, the charge compensation mechanisms, and the reversible inter-layer Li migration upon sodiation/desodiation are unraveled by systematic in situ/ex situ characterizations. This study breaks the stereotype surrounding Na+/vacancy ordering and provides a new avenue for developing high-energy and long-durability sodium layered oxide cathodes.

Abstract
The development of the electric vehicle industry has spurred demand for secondary batteries capable of rapid-charging and slow-discharging. Among them, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with layered oxide as the cathode exhibit competitive advantages due to their comprehensive electrochemical performance. However, to meet the requirements of rapid-charging and slow-discharging scenarios, it is necessary to further enhance the rate performance of the cathode material to achieve symmetrical capacity at different rates. Simultaneously, minimizing lattice strain during asymmetric electrochemical processes is also significant in alleviating strain accumulation. In this study, the ordered distribution of transition metal layers and the diffusion pathway of sodium ions are optimized through targeted K-doping of sodium layers, leading to a reduction of the diffusion barrier and endowment of prominent rate performance. At a 20C rate, the capacity of the cathode can reach 94% of that at a 0.1C rate. Additionally, the rivet effect of the sodium layers resulted in a global volume strain of only 0.03% for the modified cathode during charging at a 10C rate and discharging at a 1C rate. In summary, high-performance SIBs, with promising prospects for rapid-charging and slow-discharging capability, are obtained through the regulation of sodium layers, opening up new avenues for commercial applications.

Abstract
P2-type layered materials (Na x TMO2) have become attractive cathode electrodes owing to their high theoretical energy density and simple preparation. However, they still face severe phase transition and low conductivity. Current research on Na x TMO2 is mostly focused on the modification of bulk materials, and the application performances have been infrequently addressed. This review summarizes the information on current common P2-Na x TMO2 materials and discusses their sodium-storage mechanisms. Furthermore, modification strategies to improve their performance are addressed for practical applications based on a range of key parameters (output voltage, specific capacity, and lifespan). We also discuss the future development trends and application prospects for P2 cathode materials.

Abstract
Currently, a major target in the development of Na-ion batteries is the concurrent attainment of high-rate capacity and long cycling stability. Herein, an advanced Na-ion battery with high-rate capability and long cycle stability based on Li/Ti co-doped P2-type Na0.67Mn0.67Ni0.33O2, a host material with high-voltage zero-phase transition behavior and fast Na+ migration/conductivity during dynamic de-embedding process, is constructed. Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that the two-element doping strategy promotes a mutually reinforcing effect, which greatly facilitates the transfer capability of Na+. The cation Ti4+ doping is a dominant high voltage, significantly elevating the operation voltage to 4.4 V. Meanwhile, doping Li+ shows the function in charge transfer, improving the rate performance and prolonging cycling lifespan. Consequently, the designed P2-Na0.75Mn0.54Ni0.27Li0.14Ti0.05O2 cathode material exhibits discharge capacities of 129, 104, and 85 mAh g- 1 under high voltage of 4.4 V at 1, 10, and 20 C, respectively. More importantly, the full-cell delivers a high initial capacity of 198 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C (17.3 mA g-1) and a capacity retention of 73% at 5 C (865 mA g-1) after 1000 cycles, which is seldom witnessed in previous reports, emphasizing their potential applications in advanced energy storage.

Abstract
Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as an advanced electrochemical energy storage technology with potential to alleviate the dependence on lithium resources. Similar to Li-ion batteries, the cathode materials play a decisive role in the cost and energy output of SIBs. Among various cathode materials, Na layered transition-metal (TM) oxides have become an appealing choice owing to their facile synthesis, high Na storage capacity/voltage that are suitable for use in high-energy SIBs, and high adaptivity to the large-scale manufacture of Li layered oxide analogues. However, going from the lab to the market, the practical use of Na layered oxide cathodes is limited by the ambiguous understanding of the fundamental structure-performance correlation of cathode materials and lack of customized material design strategies to meet the diverse demands in practical storage applications. In this review, we attempt to clarify the fundamental misunderstandings by elaborating the correlations between the electron configuration of the critical capacity-contributing elements (e.g., TM cations and oxygen anion) in oxides and their influence on the Na (de)intercalation (electro)chemistry and storage properties of the cathode. Subsequently, we discuss the issues that hinder the practical use of layered oxide cathodes, their origins and the corresponding strategies to address their issues and accelerate the target-oriented research and development of cathode materials. Finally, we discuss several new Na layered cathode materials that show prospects for next-generation SIBs, including layered oxides with anion redox and high entropy and highlight the use of layered oxides as cathodes for solid-state SIBs with higher energy and safety. In summary, we aim to offer insights into the rational design of high-performance Na layered oxide cathode materials towards the practical realization of sustainable electrochemical energy storage at a low cost.

P2-phase layered cathodes play a pivotal role in sodium-ion batteries due to their efficient Na+ intercalation chemistry. However, limited by crystal disintegration and interfacial instability, bulk and interfacial failure plague their electrochemical performance. To address these challenges, a structural enhancement combined with surface modification is achieved through trace Y doping. Based on a synergistic combination of experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the introduction of partial Y ions at the Na site (2d) acts as a stabilizing pillar, mitigating the electrostatic repulsions between adjacent TMO2 slabs and thereby relieving internal structural stress. Furthermore, the presence of Y effectively optimizes the Ni 3d-O 2p hybridization, resulting in enhanced electronic conductivity and a notable rapid charging ability, with a capacity of 77.3 mA h g-1 at 40 C. Concurrently, the introduction of Y also induces the formation of perovskite nano-islands, which serve to minimize side reactions and modulate interfacial diffusion. As a result, the refined P2-Na0.65 Y0.025[Ni0.33Mn0.67]O2 cathode material exhibits an exceptionally low volume variation (≈1.99%), an impressive capacity retention of 83.3% even at -40 °C after1500 cycles at 1 C.

Abstract
Heterogenizing the molecular catalysts on conductive scaffolds to achieve the isolated molecular dispersion and expected coordination structures is significant yet still challenging. Herein, a sulfur-driving strategy to anchor monodispersed cobalt phthalocyanine on nitrogen and sulfur co-doped graphene (NSG-CoPc) is demonstrated. Experimental and theoretical analysis prove that the incorporation of S dramatically improves the adsorption capability of NSG and evokes the monodispersion of the CoPc molecule, promoting the axial Co─N coordination and the electron delocalization of the Co catalytic center. Benefiting from the reduced activation energy barrier and boosted electron transfer, as well as the maximized active site utilization, NSG-CoPc exhibits outstanding H2O2 oxidization and sensing performance (used as a representative reaction). Moreover, the usage of NSG as a substrate can be readily extended to other metal (Ni, Cu, and Fe) phthalocyanine molecules with molecular-level dispersion. This work clarifies the mechanism of heteroatoms decoration and provides a new paradigm in devising monodispersed molecular catalysts with modulated chemical surroundings for broad applications.

Abstract
The growing global energy demand necessitates the development of renewable energy solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. To efficiently utilize renewable yet intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind power, there is a critical need for large-scale energy storage systems (EES) with high electrochemical performance. While lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been successfully used for EES, the surging demand and price, coupled with limited supply of crucial metals like lithium and cobalt, raised concerns about future sustainability. In this context, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have emerged as promising alternatives to commercial LIBs. Leveraging the low cost of potassium resources, abundant natural reserves, and the similar chemical properties of lithium and potassium, PIBs exhibit excellent potassium ion transport kinetics in electrolytes. This review starts from the fundamental principles and structural regulation of PIBs, offering a comprehensive overview of their current research status. It covers cathode materials, anode materials, electrolytes, binders, and separators, combining insights from full battery performance, degradation mechanisms, in situ/ex situ characterization, and theoretical calculations. We anticipate that this review will inspire greater interest in the development of high-efficiency PIBs and pave the way for their future commercial applications.

Abstract
Layered transition metal oxides are highly promising host materials for K ions, owing to their high theoretical capacities and appropriate operational potentials. To address the intrinsic issues of KxMnO2 cathodes and optimize their electrochemical properties, a novel P3-type oxide doped with carefully chosen cost-effective, electrochemically active and multi-functional elements is proposed, namely K0.57Cu0.1Fe0.1Mn0.8O2. Compared to the pristine K0.56MnO2, its reversible specific is increased from 104 to 135 mAh g-1. In addition, the Cu and Fe co-doping triples the capacity under high current densities, and contributes to long-term stability over 500 cycles with a capacity retention of 68 %. Such endeavor holds the potential to make potassium-ion batteries particularly competitive for application in sustainable, low-cost, and large-scale energy storage devices. In addition, the cathode is also extended for sodium storage. Facilitated by the interlayer K ions that protect the layered structure from collapsing and expand the diffusion pathway for sodium ions, the cathode shows a high reversible capacity of 144 mAh g-1, fast kinetics and a long lifespan over 1000 cycles. The findings offer a novel pathway for the development of high-performance and cost-effective sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are key in electrochemical energy storage, offering cost-effectiveness and a broad potential window. However, their full potential is limited by poor understanding of their slow reaction kinetics and stability issues. This study diverges from conventional complex nano-structuring, concentrating instead on spin-related charge transfer and orbital interactions to enhance the reaction dynamics and stability of TMOs during energy storage processes. We successfully reconfigured the orbital degeneracy and spin-dependent electronic occupancy by disrupting the symmetry of magnetic cobalt (Co) sites through straightforward strain stimuli. The key to this approach lies in the unfilled Co 3d shell, which serves as a spin-dependent regulator for carrier transfer and orbital interactions within the reaction. We observed that the opening of these 'spin gates' occurs during a transition from a symmetric low-spin state to an asymmetric high-spin state, resulting in enhanced reaction kinetics and maintained structural stability. Specifically, the spin-rearranged Al-Co3O4 exhibited a specific capacitance of 1371 F g-1, which is 38 % higher than that of unaltered Co3O4. These results not only shed light on the spin effects in magnetic TMOs but also establish a new paradigm for designing electrochemical energy storage materials with improved efficiency.

Abstract
The matching of long cycle life, high power density, and high energy density has been an inevitable requirement for the development of efficient anode materials for lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). Here, we introduce an N-doped carbon nanotube hollow polyhedron structure (Co3O4-CNT-800) with high specific surface area and active sites, which is anchored with two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx nanosheets with metallic conductivity and abundant surface functional groups by electrostatic adsorption to form a hierarchical multilevel hollow semi-covered framework structure. Benefiting from the synergistic effect between Co3O4-CNT-800 and Ti3C2Tx, the composites exhibit superior energy storage efficiency and long cycling stability. The Co3O4-CNT-800/Ti3C2Tx electrodes exhibit a high specific capacity of 817C/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g under the three-electrode system, and the capacity retention rate is 91 % after 5000 cycles at a current density of 2 A/g. Additionally, we assembled Co3O4-CNT-800/Ti3C2Tx as the anode and Activated carbon (AC) cathode to form LIC devices, which showed an electrochemical test result of 90.01 % capacitance retention after 8000 cycles at 2 A/g, and the maximum power density of the LIC was 3000 W/kg and the maximum energy density was 121 Wh/kg. This work pioneered the combination of N-doped carbon nanotube hollow polyhedron structure with two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx, which provides an effective strategy for preparing LIC negative electrode materials with high specific capacitance and long cycling stability.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have garnered significant attention as ideal candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their notable advantages in terms of resource availability and cost-effectiveness. However, there remains a substantial energy density gap between SIBs and commercially available lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), posing challenges to meeting the requirements of practical applications. The fabrication of high-energy cathodes has emerged as an efficient approach to enhancing the energy density of SIBs, which commonly requires cathodes operating in high-voltage regions. Layered oxide cathodes (LOCs), with low cost, facile synthesis, and high theoretical specific capacity, have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for commercial applications. However, LOCs encounter significant challenges when operated in high-voltage regions such as irreversible phase transitions, migration and dissolution of metal cations, loss of reactive oxygen, and the occurrence of serious interfacial parasitic reactions. These issues ultimately result in severe degradation in battery performance. This review aims to shed light on the key challenges and failure mechanisms encountered by LOCs when operated in high-voltage regions. Additionally, the corresponding strategies for improving the high-voltage stability of LOCs are comprehensively summarized. By providing fundamental insights and valuable perspectives, this review aims to contribute to the advancement of high-energy SIBs.

Abstract
P2-type layered metal oxides are regarded as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their high voltage platform and rapid Na+ diffusion kinetics. However, limited capacity and unfavorable cycling stability resulting from inevitable phase transformation and detrimental structure collapse hinder their future application. Herein, based on P2-type Na0.67Ni0.18Mn0.67Cu0.1Zn0.05O2, we synthesized a series of secondary spherical morphology cathodes with different radii derived from controlling precursors prepared by a coprecipitation method, which can be promoted to large-scale production. Consequently, the synthesized materials possessed a high tap density of 1.52 g cm-3 and a compacted density of 3.2 g cm-3. The half cells exhibited a specific capacity of 111.8 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 C as well as an 82.64% capacity retention with a high initial capacity of 85.80 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles under a rate of 5 C. Notably, in situ X-ray diffraction revealed a reversible P2-OP4 phase transition and displayed a tiny volume change of 6.96% during the charge/discharge process, indicating an outstanding cycling stability of the modified cathode. Commendably, the cylindrical cell achieved a capacity of 4.7 Ah with almost no change during 1000 cycles at 2 C, suggesting excellent potential for future applications.

Abstract
Cation doping is an effective strategy for improving the cyclability of layered oxide cathode materials through suppression of phase transitions in the high voltage region. In this study, Mg and Sc are chosen as dopants in P2-Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2, and both have found to positively impact the cycling stability, but influence the high voltage regime in different ways. Through a combination of synchrotron-based methods and theoretical calculations it is shown that it is more than just suppression of the P2 to O2 phase transition that is critical for promoting the favorable properties, and that the interplay between Ni and O activity is also a critical aspect that dictates the performance. With Mg doping, the Ni activity can be enhanced while simultaneously suppressing the O activity. This is surprising because it is in contrast to what has been reported in other Mn-based layered oxides where Mg is known to trigger oxygen redox. This contradiction is addressed by proposing a competing mechanism between Ni and Mg that impacts differences in O activity in Na0.67MgxNi0.33- xMn0.67O2 (x < 0 < 0.33). These findings provide a new direction in understanding the effects of cation doping on the electrochemical behavior of layered oxides.

Abstract
The shortage of resources such as lithium and cobalt has promoted the development of novel battery systems with low cost, abundance, high performance, and efficient environmental adaptability. Due to the abundance and low cost of sodium, sodium-ion battery chemistry has drawn worldwide attention in energy storage systems. It is widely considered that wide-temperature tolerance sodium-ion batteries (WT-SIBs) can be rapidly developed due to their unique electrochemical and chemical properties. However, WT-SIBs, especially for their electrode materials and electrolyte systems, still face various challenges in harsh-temperature conditions. In this review, we focus on the achievements, failure mechanisms, fundamental chemistry, and scientific challenges of WT-SIBs. The insights of their design principles, current research, and safety issues are presented. Moreover, the possible future research directions on the battery materials for WT-SIBs are deeply discussed. Progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the emerging chemistry for WT-SIBs comprehensively discussed in this review will accelerate the practical applications of wide-temperature tolerance rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Owing to the strong basicity and reactivity, residual sodium compounds (RSCs) on the surface of Na-based layered oxides for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) cause the deterioration of the electrochemical performance and processability of the oxide cathode materials. Herein, considering P2-type Na0.66Ni0.26Zn0.07Mn0.67O2 as the model material, the water-washing treatment is proven to be a facile, economic, and highly efficient method to improve the electrochemical performance of P2-type Ni/Mn-based layered oxides. Experimental results show that RSCs on material surfaces can be effectively removed by water washing without causing severe damage to the bulk structure. Notably, water washing triggers the formation of an ultrathin (2-3 nm thick) Na-poor disordered interfacial layer on the surface of Na0.66Ni0.26Zn0.07Mn0.67O2. This layer plays a passivating role in further enhancing the material's resistance to water and reduces the reactivity of the material surface with the electrolyte. These compositional and structural optimizations for P2-type Na0.66Ni0.26Zn0.07Mn0.67O2 effectively suppress the release of gaseous CO2, formation of thick cathode-electrolyte interphase films, and consumption of active Na+, enabling good Na+ transport kinetics during cycling. The water-washed Na0.66Ni0.26Zn0.07Mn0.67O2 exhibits significantly improved cycling stability with a capacity retention of 89.1% at 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles and rate capability with a discharge capacity of 76.3 mA g-1 at 2000 mA g-1; these values are higher than those of the unwashed Na0.66Ni0.26Zn0.07Mn0.67O2 (83.3%, 71.4 mA h g-1). This work provides fundamental insights into the detrimental effect of RSCs on the electrochemical performance of layered oxides and highlights the importance of regulating interfacial compositions for developing high-performance layered-oxide cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
P2-type Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 has attracted considerable attraction as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its high operating voltage and theoretical specific capacity. However, when the charging voltage is higher than 4.2 V, the Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 cathode undergoes a detrimental irreversible phase transition of P2-O2, leading to a drastic decrease in specific capacity. To address this challenge, we implemented a Cu-doping strategy (Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2) in this work to stabilize the structure of the transition metal layer. The stabilization strategy involved reinforcing the transition metal-oxygen (TMO) bonds, particularly the MnO bond and inhibiting interlayer slip during deep desodiation. As a result, the irreversible phase transition voltage is delayed, with the threshold voltage increasing from 4.2 to 4.4 V. Ex-situ X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2 cathode maintains the P2 phase within the voltage window of 2.5-4.3 V, whereas the P2-Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 cathode transforms entirely into O2-type Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 when the voltage exceeds 4.3 V. Furthermore, absolute P2-O2 phase transition of the Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2 cathode occurred at 4.6 V, indicating that Cu2+ doping enhances the stability of the layer structure and increases the threshold voltage. The resulting Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2 cathode exhibited superior electrochemical properties, demonstrating an initial reversible specific capacity of 89.1 mAh/g at a rate of 2C (360 mA g-1) and retaining more than 78 % of its capacity after 500 cycles.

Abstract
P2-type Fe-Mn-based oxides offer excellent discharge specific capacity and are as affordable as typical layered oxide cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). After Cu modification, though they can improve the cycling performance and air stability, the discharge specific capacity will be reduced. Considering the complementary nature of biphasic phases in electrochemistry, hybridizing P2/O3 hybrid phases can enhance both the storage performance of the battery and specific capacity. Herein, a hybrid phase composite with high capacity and good cycle performance is deliberately designed and successfully prepared by controlling the amount of Mg doping in the layered oxide. It has been found that the introduction of Mg can activate anion redox in the oxide layer, resulting in a significant increase in the specific discharge capacity of the material. Meanwhile, the dual-phase structure can produce an interlocking effect, thus effectively alleviating structure strain. The degradation of cycling performance caused by structural damage during the high-voltage charging and discharging process is clearly mitigated. The results show that the specific discharge capacity of Na0.67Cu0.2Mg0.1Fe0.2Mn0.5O2 is as high as 212.0 mAh g-1 at 0.1C rate and 186.2 mAh g-1 at 0.2C rate. After 80 cycles, the capacity can still maintain 88.1%. Moreover, the capacity and cycle performance as well as the stability can still remain stable even in the high-voltage window. Therefore, this work offers an insightful exploration for the development of composite cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Despite the promising potential of transition metal oxides (TMOs) as capacitive deionization (CDI) electrodes, the actual capacity of TMOs electrodes for sodium storage is significantly lower than the theoretical capacity, posing a major obstacle. Herein, we prepared the kinetically favorable ZnxNi1 - xO electrode in situ growth on carbon felt (ZnxNi1 - xO@CF) through constraining the rate of OH- generation in the hydrothermal method. ZnxNi1 - xO@CF exhibited a high-density hierarchical nanosheet structure with three-dimensional open pores, benefitting the ion transport/electron transfer. And tuning the moderate amount of redox-inert Zn-doping can enhance surface electroactive sites, actual activity of redox-active Ni species, and lower adsorption energy, promoting the adsorption kinetic and thermodynamic of the Zn0.2Ni0.8O@CF. Benefitting from the kinetic-thermodynamic facilitation mechanism, Zn0.2Ni0.8O@CF achieved ultrahigh desalination capacity (128.9 mgNaCl g-1), ultra-low energy consumption (0.164 kW h kgNaCl-1), high salt removal rate (1.21 mgNaCl g-1 min-1), and good cyclability. The thermodynamic facilitation and Na+ intercalation mechanism of Zn0.2Ni0.8O@CF are identified by the density functional theory calculations and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, respectively. This research provides new insights into controlling electrochemically favorable morphology and demonstrates that Zn-doping, which is redox-inert, is essential for enhancing the electrochemical performance of CDI electrodes.

Abstract
P2-Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 cathode materials have garnered significant attention due to their high cationic and anionic redox capacity under high voltage. However, the challenge of structural instability caused by lattice oxygen evolution and P2-O2 phase transition during deep charging persists. A breakthrough is achieved through a simple one-step synthesis of Cr, Mg co-doped P2-NaNMCM, resulting in a bi-functional improvement effect. P2-NaNMCM-0.01 exhibits an impressive capacity retention rate of 82% after 100 cycles at 1 C. In situ X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the "pillar effect" of Mg mitigates the weakening of the electrostatic shielding and effectively suppresses the phase transition of P2-O2 during the charging and discharging process. This successfully averts serious volume expansion linked to the phase transition, as well as enhances the Na+ migration. Simultaneously, in situ Raman spectroscopy and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests demonstrate that the strong oxygen affinity of Cr forms a robust TM─O bond, effectively restraining lattice oxygen evolution during deep charging. This study pioneers a novel approach to designing and optimizing layered oxide cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, promising high operating voltage and energy density.

Abstract
Fe/Mn-based layered oxide cathode is regarded as a competitive candidate for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of its high theoretical capacity, earth abundance and low cost. However, its poor cycling stability still remains a major bottleneck. Herein, P2/O3 biphasic Na0.67Fe0.425Mn0.425Cu0.15O2 layered oxide is successfully synthesized via a sol-gel method. It is observed that Cu substitution can facilitate the conversion of P2 to O3 phase, and the P2/O3 composite structure can be obtained with an appropriate amount of Cu. Meanwhile, in-situ XRD reveals that constructing P2/O3 composite structure can realize the highly reversible phase transition process of P2/O3-P2/P3-OP4/OP2 and decrease the lattice mismatch during Na+ insertion/extraction. Consequently, the biphasic P2/O3-Na0.67Fe0.425Mn0.425Cu0.15O2 electrode exhibits 87.1 % capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1C, while the single phase P2-Na0.67Fe0.5Mn0.5O2 electrode has only 36.4 %. Therefore, the constructing biphasic structure is proved to be an effective strategy for designing high-performance Fe/Mn-based layered oxide cathodes.

Abstract
Layered oxides are widely accepted to be promising cathode candidate materials for K-ion batteries (KIBs) in terms of their rich raw materials and low price, while their further applications are restricted by sluggish kinetics and poor structural stability. Here, the high-entropy design concept is introduced into layered KIB cathodes to address the above issues, and an example of high-entropy layered K0.45Mn0.60Ni0.075Fe0.075Co0.075Ti0.10Cu0.05Mg0.025O2 (HE-KMO) is successfully prepared. Benefiting from the high-entropy oxide with multielement doping, the developed HE-KMO exhibits half-metallic oxide features with a narrow bandgap of 0.19 eV. Increased entropy can also reduce the surface energy of the {010} active facets, resulting in about 2.6 times more exposure of the {010} active facets of HE-KMO than the low-entropy K0.45MnO2 (KMO). Both can effectively improve the kinetics in terms of electron conduction and K+ diffusion. Furthermore, high entropy can inhibit space charge ordering during K+ (de)insertion, and the transition metal-oxygen covalent interaction of HE-KMO is also enhanced, leading to suppressed phase transition of HE-KMO in 1.5-4.2 V and better electrochemical stability of HE-KMO (average capacity drop of 0.20%, 200 cycles) than the low-entropy KMO (average capacity drop of 0.41%, 200 cycles) in the wide voltage window.

In Situ Growth of Sodium Manganese Hexacyanoferrate on Carbon Nanotubes for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries. Molecules 2024; 29:313. [PMID: 38257223 PMCID: PMC10821419 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Sodium manganese hexacyanoferrate (NaMnHCF) has emerged as a research hotspot among Prussian blue analogs for sodium-ion battery cathode materials due to its advantages of high voltage, high specific capacity, and abundant raw materials. However, its practical application is limited by its poor electronic conductivity. In this study, we aim to solve this problem through the in situ growth of NaMnHCF on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using a simple coprecipitation method. The results show that the overall electronic conductivity of NaMnHCF is significantly improved after the introduction of CNTs. The NaMnHCF@10%CNT sample presents a specific capacity of 90 mA h g-1, even at a current density of 20 C (2400 mA g-1). The study shows that the optimized composite exhibits a superior electrochemical performance at different mass loadings (from low to high), which is attributed to the enhanced electron transport and shortened electron pathway. Surprisingly, the cycling performance of the composites was also improved, resulting from decreased polarization and the subsequent reduction in the side reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface. Furthermore, we revealed the evolution of potential plateau roots from the extraction of crystal water during the charge-discharge process of NaMnHCF based on the experimental results. This study is instructive not only for the practical application of NaMnHCF materials but also for advancing our scientific understanding of the behavior of crystal water during the charge-discharge process.

Abstract
Layered indium selenide (InSe) is a new 2D semiconductor material with high carrier mobility, widely adjustable bandgap, and high ductility. However, its ion storage behavior and related electrochemical reaction mechanism are rarely reported. In this study, InSe nanoflakes encapsulated in conductive polypyrrole (InSe@PPy) are designed in consideration of restraining the severe volume change in the electrochemical reaction and increasing conductivity via in situ chemical oxidation polymerization. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the construction of heterostructure can generate an internal electric field to accelerate electron transfer via additional driving forces, offering synergistically enhanced structural stability, electrical conductivity, and Na+ diffusion process. The resulting InSe@PPy composite shows outstanding electrochemical performance in the sodium ion batteries system, achieving a high reversible capacity of 336.4 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 and a long-term cyclic stability with capacity of 274.4 mA h g-1 after 2800 cycles at 5 A g-1 . In particular, the investigation of capacity fluctuation within the first cycling reveals the alternating significance of intercalation and conversion reactions and evanescent alloying reaction. The combined reaction mechanism of insertion, conversion, and alloying of InSe@PPy is revealed by in situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract
The introduction of a superlattice structure into layered oxide cathode materials is a novel strategy to improve the structural stability of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the superlattice structure gradually disappears during cycling, which shortens the long life of SIBs. Here, the highly electronegative Zn is introduced into a P2-type layered oxide to regulate the superlattice structure. The obtained P2-Na0.80Li0.13Ni0.20Zn0.03Mn0.64O2 exhibits excellent cycling performance (the capacity retention is 96.7% after 100 cycles at 0.5C) and rate capability (95.8 mAh g-1 at 5C). Zn effectively inhibits the Li migration and the Mn dissolution, which ensures the integrity of the Li/Mn superlattice structure during long cycling, thus achieving an ultralong cycling life of SIBs. The introduction of Zn dramatically increases the length of the c-axis, leading to a faster de-embedding rate of Na+ and a better diffusion kinetics. Meanwhile, the larger pristine volume can withstand more stress/strain due to the sharp increase in the level of O-O repulsion during the desodiation process. In addition, Raman test results show that Zn can inhibit the Na+/vacancy ordering transition and improve the structural stability. This study confirms the feasibility of a Zn-regulated superlattice structure. It provides inspiration for the construction of stable layered oxide cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Ni/Mn-based oxide cathode materials have drawn great attention due to their high discharge voltage and large capacity, but structural instability at high potential causes rapid capacity decay. How to moderate the capacity loss while maintaining the advantages of high discharge voltage remains challenging. Herein, the replacement of Mn ions by Ga ions is proposed in the P2-Na2/3 Ni0.2 Mn0.8 O2 cathode for improving their cycling performances without sacrificing the high discharge voltage. With the introduction of Ga ions, the relative movement between the transition metal ions is restricted and more Na ions are retained in the lattice at high voltage, leading to an enhanced redox activity of Ni ions, validated by ex situ synchrotron X-ray absorption spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Additionally, the P2-O2 phase transition is replaced by a P2-OP4 phase transition with a smaller volume change, reducing the lattice strain in the c-axis direction, as detected by operando/ex situ X-ray diffraction. Consequently, the Na2/3 Ni0.21 Mn0.74 Ga0.05 O2 electrode exhibits a high discharge voltage close to that of the undoped materials, while increasing voltage retention from 79% to 93% after 50 cycles. This work offers a new avenue for designing high-energy density Ni/Mn-based oxide cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) often struggle with challenges related to low electronic conductivity and unsatisfactory cyclic stability toward cationic intercalation. In this work, we tackle these issues by exploring an innovative strategy: leveraging heightened π-donation to activate the t2g orbital, thereby enhancing both electron/ion conductivity and structural stability of TMOs. We engineered Ni-doped layered manganese dioxide (Ni-MnO2), which is characterized by a distinctive Ni-O-Mn bridging configuration. Remarkably, Ni-MnO2 presents an impressive capacitance of 317 F g-1 and exhibits a robust cyclic stability, maintaining 81.58% of its original capacity even after 20,000 cycles. Mechanism investigations reveal that the incorporation of Ni-O-Mn configurations stimulates a heightened π-donation effect, which is beneficial to the π-type orbital hybridization involving the O 2p and the t2g orbital of Mn, thereby accelerating charge-transfer kinetics and activating the redox capacity of the t2g orbital. Additionally, the charge redistribution from Ni to the t2g orbital of Mn effectively elevates the low-energy orbital level of Mn, thus mitigating the undesirable Jahn-Teller distortion. This results in a subsequent decrease in the electron occupancy of the π*-antibonding orbital, which promotes an overall enhancement in structural stability. Our findings pave the way for an innovative paradigm in the development of fast and stable electrode materials for intercalation energy storage by activating the low orbitals of the TM center from a molecular orbital perspective.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly P2-type layered iron manganese oxides appear to be one of the most potential cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, their practical application is hindered by the unfavorable phase transitions, dissolution of transition metals, and poor air stability. One effective strategy by either single-cation doping or high-cost Li involved co-doping is used to alleviate the problems. Here, low-cost Cu/Ti co-doping is introduced to boost P2-Na0.7Cu0.2Fe0.2Mn0.5Ti0.1O2 as an air and electrochemical stable cathode material for SIBs. The resulting electrode delivers an initial capacity of 130 mAh g-1 at 0.1C within 2.0-4.2 V, a reversible discharge capacity of 61.0 mAh g-1 at a high rate of 5C and a capacity retention ratio exceeding 71.1% after 300 cycles. In particular, the co-doped crystal structure is well-maintained after 1 month of exposure to air, and even 3 days of soaking in water. Furthermore, the enhancement is elucidated by the effectively mitigated P2-Z and the completely suppressed P2-P'2 phase transitions, the decreased volume variation proved by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as the lowered transition-metal dissolution evidenced by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The low-lost Cu/Ti doping strategy could thus be effective for designing and preparing environmentally friendly and high-performance cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Recently, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received considerable attention for large-scale energy storage applications. However, the low initial Coulombic efficiency of traditional SIBs severely impedes their further development. Here, a highly active Na2 S-based composite is employed as a self-sacrificial additive for sodium compensation in SIBs. The in situ synthesized Na2 S is wrapped in a carbon matrix with nanoscale particle size and good electrical conductivity, which helps it to achieve a significantly enhanced electrochemical activity as compare to commercial Na2 S. As a highly efficient presodiation additive, the proposed Na2 S/C composite can reach an initial charge capacity of 407 mAh g-1 . When 10 wt.% Na2 S/C additive is dispersed in the Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 cathode, and combined with a hard carbon anode, the full cell achieves 24.3% higher first discharge capacity, which corresponds to a 18.3% increase in the energy density from 117.2 to 138.6 Wh kg-1 . Meanwhile, it is found that the Na2 S additive does not generate additional gas during the initial charging process, and under an appropriate content, its reaction product has no adverse impact on the cycling stability and rate performance of SIBs. Overall, this work establishes Na2 S as a highly effective additive for the construction of advanced high-energy-density SIBs.

Abstract
Activating anionic redox chemistry in layered oxide cathodes is a paradigmatic approach to devise high-energy sodium-ion batteries. Unfortunately, excessive oxygen redox usually induces irreversible lattice oxygen loss and cation migration, resulting in rapid capacity and voltage fading and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, the reductive coupling mechanism (RCM) of uncommon electron transfer from oxygen to copper ions is unraveled in a novel P2-Na0.8Cu0.22Li0.08Mn0.67O2 cathode for boosting the reversibility and kinetics of anionic redox reactions. The resultant strong covalent Cu-(O-O) bonding can efficaciously suppress excessive oxygen oxidation and irreversible cation migration. Consequently, the P2-Na0.8Cu0.22Li0.08Mn0.67O2 cathode delivers a marvelous rate capability (134.1 and 63.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1C and 100C, respectively) and outstanding long-term cycling stability (82% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 10C). The intrinsic functioning mechanisms of RCM are fully understood through systematic in situ/ex situ characterizations and theoretical computations. This study opens a new avenue toward enhancing the stability and dynamics of oxygen redox chemistry.

Abstract
Constructing an inorganic-rich and robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is one of the crucial approaches to improving the electrochemical performance of sodium metal batteries (SMBs). However, the low conductivity and distribution of common inorganics in SEI disturb Na+ diffusion and induce nonuniform sodium deposition. Here, we construct a unique SEI with evenly scattered high-conductivity inorganics by introducing a self-sacrifice LiTFSI into the sodium salt-base carbonate electrolyte. The reductive competition effect between LiTFSI and FEC facilitates the formation of the SEI with evenly scattered inorganics. In which the high-conductive Li3N and inorganics provide fast ions transport domains and high-flux nucleation sites for Na+, thus conducive to rapid sodium deposition at a high rate. Therefore, the SEI derived from LiTFSI and FEC enables the Na∥Na3V2(PO4)3 cell to show 89.15% capacity retention (87.62 mA h g-1) at an ultrahigh rate of 60 C after 10,000 cycles, while the cell without LiTFSI delivers only 48.44% capacity retention even after 8000 cycles. Moreover, the Na∥Na3V2(PO4)3 pouch cell with the special SEI presents a stable capacity retention of 92.05% at 10 C after 2000 cycles. This unique SEI design elucidates a new strategy to propel SMBs to operate under extreme high-rate conditions.

Abstract
P2-type layered transition-metal (TM) oxides, NaxTMO2, are highly promising as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their excellent rate capability and affordability. However, P2-type NaxTMO2 is afflicted by issues such as Na+/vacancy ordering and multiple phase transitions during Na-extraction/insertion, leading to staircase-like voltage profiles. In this study, we employ a combination of high Na content and Li dual-site substitution strategies to enhance the structural stability of a P2-type layered oxide (Na0.80Li0.024[Li0.065Ni0.22Mn0.66]O2). The experimental results reveal that these approaches facilitate the oxidation of Mn ions to a higher valence state, thereby affecting the local environment of both TM and Na ions. The resulting modification in the local structure significantly improves the Na-ion storage capabilities as required for cathode materials in SIBs. Furthermore, it induces a solid-solution reaction and enables nearly zero-strain operation (ΔV = 0.7%) in the Na0.80Li0.024[Li0.065Ni0.22Mn0.66]O2 cathode during cycling. The assembled full cells demonstrate an exceptional rate performance, with a retention rate of 87% at 10 C compared to that of 0.1 C, as well as an ultrastable cycling capability, maintaining a capacity retention of 73% at 2 C after 1000 cycles. These findings offer valuable insights into the electronic and structural chemistry of ultrastable cathode materials with "zero-strain" Na-ion storage.

Abstract
Mn-based layered oxide is extensively investigated as a promising cathode material for potassium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and natural abundance of manganese. However, the Jahn-Teller distortion caused by high-spin Mn3+ (t2g 3 eg 1 ) destabilizes the host structure and reduces the cycling stability. Here, K0.02 Na0.55 Mn0.70 Ni0.25 Zn0.05 O2 (denoted as KNMNO-Z) is reported to inhibit the Jahn-Teller effect and reduce the irreversible phase transition. Through the implementation of a Zn-doping strategy, higher Mn valence is achieved in the KNMNO-Z electrode, resulting in a reduction of Mn3+ amount and subsequently leading to an improvement in cyclic stability. Specifically, after 1000 cycles, a high retention rate of 97% is observed. Density functional theory calculations reveals that low-valence Zn2+ ions substituting the transition metal position of Mn regulated the electronic structure around the MnO bonding, thereby alleviating the anisotropic coupling between oxidized O2- and Mn4+ and improving the structural stability. K0.02 Na0.55 Mn0.70 Ni0.25 Zn0.05 O2 provided an initial discharge capacity of 57 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and a decay rate of only 0.003% per cycle, indicating that the Zn-doped strategy is effective for developing high-performance Mn-based layered oxide cathode materials in PIBs.

Abstract
Sodium manganese hexacyanoferrate (NaMnHCF) is an attractive candidate as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its low cost and high energy density. However, its practical application is hindered by poor electrochemical stability caused by the Jahn-Teller effect of Mn and the unstable structure of NaMnHCF. Here, this paper aims to address this issue by introducing highly stable AMnHCF (where A = K, Rb, or Cs) through a facile method to composite with NaMnHCF. The findings reveal that all AMnHCFs have a "pillar effect" on the crystal structure of NaMnHCF. It is observed that the degree of pillar effect varies depending on the specific AMnHCF used. The less electrochemically inactive the alkaline ion is and the greater the degree of compositing with NaMnHCF, the more dramatic the pillar effect. KMnHCF shows limited pillar effect due to its rough composition with NaMnHCF and the loss of K+ upon (de)intercalation. RbMnHCF has lower electrochemical activity and can be better composited with NaMnHCF. On the other hand, CsMnHCF exhibits the strongest pillar effect due to the inactivation of Cs+ and the excellent coherent structure formed by CsMnHCF and NaMnHCF. This research provides a new perspective on stabilizing NaMnHCF with other alkaline elements.

Abstract
Due to their high capacity and sufficient Na+ storage, O3-NaNi0.5Mn0.5O2 has attracted much attention as a viable cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the challenges of complicated irreversible multiphase transitions, poor structural stability, low operating voltage, and an unstable oxygen redox reaction still limit its practical application. Herein, using O3-NaNi0.5Mn0.5-xSnxO2 cathode materials as the research model, a universal strategy based on bridging microstructure engineering and local electronic structure manipulation is proposed. The strategy can modulate the physical and chemical properties of electrode materials, so as to restrain the unfavorable and irreversible multiphase transformation, improve structural stability, manipulate redox potential, and stabilize the anion redox reaction. The effect of Sn substitution on the intrinsic local electronic structure of the material is articulated by density functional theory calculations. Meanwhile, the universal strategy is also validated by Ti substitution, which could be further extrapolated to other systems and guide the design of cathode materials in the field of SIBs.

Abstract
Though considerable Mg-doped layered cathodes have been exploited, some new differences relative to previous reports can be concluded by doping a heavy dose of Mg via two rational strategies. Unlike the common unit cell of the P63/mmc group by X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction reveals a large supercell of the P63 group and enhanced ordering for Na11/18Mg1/18[Ni1/4Mg1/9Mn11/18]O2 with Mg occupying both the Na and Mn sites. Compared with only one obvious voltage plateau of Na0.5[Ni0.25Mn0.75]O2 (NNM), Na11/18Mg1/18[Ni1/4Mg1/9Mn11/18]O2 (NMNMM) shows more severe voltage plateaus but with excellent electrochemical performance. Na0.5[Mg0.25Mn0.75]O2 (NMM) with Mg only occupying the Ni site displays a highly reversible whole-voltage-range oxygen redox chemistry and smooth voltage curves without any voltage hysteresis. Cationic Ni2+/Ni4+ couples are responsible for the charge compensations of NNM and NMNMM, while only the oxygen anionic reaction accounts for the capacity of NMM between 2.5 and 4.3 V. Interestingly, the Mn3+/Mn4+ pair contributes all capacity for all cathodes between 1.5 and 2.5 V. All cathodes undergo a double-phase mechanism: an irreversible P2-O2 phase transition for NNM, an enhanced reversible P2-O2 phase transition for NMNMM, and a highly reversible P2-OP4 phase transition for NMM. In addition, the designed cathodes display excellent rate capability and long-term cycling stability but with a large difference in the various voltage ranges of 2.5-4.3 and 1.5-2.5 V, respectively. This work provides a good understanding of ion doping and some new insights into exploiting high-performance materials.

Abstract
Anionic redox has been considered as a promising strategy to break the capacity limitation of cathode materials that solely relies on the intrinsic cationic redox in secondary batteries. Vacancy, as a kind of defect, can be introduced into transition metal layer to trigger oxygen redox, thus enhancing the energy density of layer-structured cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Herein, the formation process, recent progress in working mechanisms of triggering oxygen redox, as well as advanced characterization techniques for transition metal (TM) vacancy were overviewed and discussed. Strategies applied to stabilize the vacancy contained structures and harness the reversible oxygen redox were summarized. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for further understanding TM vacancy were particularly emphasized.

Abstract
Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have been widely studied owing to their relatively high energy density and abundant resources. However, they still need systematic improvement to fulfill the harsh operating conditions for their commercialization. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in SMBs in terms of sodium anode modification, electrolyte exploration, and cathode design. Firstly, we give an overview of the current challenges facing Na metal anodes and the corresponding solutions. Then, the traditional liquid electrolytes and the prospective solid electrolytes for SMBs are summarized. In addition, insertion- and conversion-type cathode materials are introduced. Finally, an outlook for the future of practical SMBs is provided.

Abstract
Controllably tailoring alloying anode materials to achieve fast charging and enhanced structural stability is crucial for sodium-ion batteries with high rate and high capacity performance, yet remains a significant challenge owing to the huge volume change and sluggish sodiation kinetics. Here, a chemical tailoring tool is proposed and developed by atomically dispersing high-capacity Ge metal into the rigid and conductive sulfide framework for controllable reconstruction of GeS bonds to synergistically realize high capacity and high rate performance for sodium storage. The integrated GeTiS3 material with stable Ti-S framework and weak GeS bonding delivers high specific capacities of 678 mA h g-1 at 0.3 C over 100 cycles and 209 mA h g-1 at 32 C over 10 000 cycles, outperforming most of the reported alloying type anode materials for sodium storage. Interestingly, in situ Raman, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterizations reveal the formation of well-dispersed Nax Ge confined in the rigid Ti-S matrix with suppressed volume change after discharge. The synergistically coupled alloying-conversion and surface-dominated redox reactions with enhanced capacitive contribution and high reaction reversibility by a binding-energy-driven atomic scissors method would break new ground on designing a high-rate and high-capacity sodium-ion batteries.
