Abstract
Preoxidation is an effective strategy to inhibit the graphitization of coals during carbonization. However, the single effect of the traditional preoxidation strategy could barely increase surface-active sites, hindering further enhancement of sodium storage. Herein, a multieffect preoxidation strategy was proposed to suppress structural rearrangement and create abundant surface-active sites. Mg(NO3)2·6H2O helps to introduce oxygen-containing functional groups into bituminous coal at 450 °C, which acted as a cross-linking agent to inhibit the rearrangement of carbon layers and promote structural cross-linking during the subsequent thermal carbonization process. Besides, the residue solid decomposition product MgO would react with carbon to create surface-active sites. The obtained coal-based hard carbon contained more pseudographitic domains and sodium storage active sites. The optimized sample could deliver an excellent capacity of 287.1 mAh g-1 at 20 mA g-1, as well as remarkable cycling stability of capacity retention of 96.1% after 200 cycles at 50 mA g-1, and notable capacity retention of 88.9% after 1000 cycles at 300 mA g-1. This work provides an effective and practical strategy to convert low-cost bituminous coal into advanced hard carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).

Abstract
Metal thiophosphites have recently emerged as a hot electrode material system for sodium-ion batteries because of their large theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, the sluggish electrochemical reaction kinetics and drastic volume expansion induced by the low conductivity and inherent conversion-alloying reaction mechanism, require urgent resolution. Herein, a distinctive porous core-shell structure, denoted as SnPS3@C, is controllably synthesized by synchronously phosphor-sulfurizing resorcinol-formaldehyde-coated tin metal-organic framework cubes. Thanks to the 3D porous structure, the ion diffusion kinetics are accelerated. In addition, SnPS3@C features a tough protective carbon layer, which improves the electrochemical activity and reduces the polarization. As expected, the as-prepared SnPS3@C electrode exhibits superior electrochemical performance compared to pure SnPS3, including excellent rate capability (1342.4 and 731.1 mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 4 A g-1, respectively), and impressive long-term cycling stability (97.9% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1). Moreover, the sodium storage mechanism is thoroughly studied by in-situ and ex-situ characterizations. This work offers an innovative approach to enhance the energy storage performance of metal thiophosphite materials through meticulous structural design, including the introduction of porous characteristics and core-shell structures.

Abstract
Aiming at the key problem of Na+ insertion difficulty and low charge transfer efficiency of activated carbon materials. It is an effective strategy to increase the lattice spacing and defect concentration by doping to reduce the ion diffusion resistance and improve the kinetics. Hence, anthracitic coal is used to prepare activated carbon (AC) and B,P-doped activated carbon (B,P-AC) as the cathode and anode materials for high-performance all-carbon SICs, respectively. AC cathode material has high specific surface area and reasonable micropore structure, which shows excellent capacitance performance. B,P-AC anode material has the advantages of extremely high specific surface area (1856.1 m2/g), expanded interlayer spacing (0.40 nm) and uniform distribution of B and P heteroatoms. Hence, B,P-AC anode achieves a highly reversible Na+ storage capacity of 243 mAh/g at a current density of 0.05 A/g. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further verify that B,P-AC has stronger Na+ storage performance. The final assembled B,P-AC//AC SIC offers a high energy density of 109.78 Wh kg-1 and a high-power density of 10.03 kW kg-1. The high-performance coal-derived activated carbon of this work provides a variety of options for industrial production of electrode materials for sodium ion capacitors.

Abstract
Efficient sodium ion storage in graphite is as yet unattainable, because of the thermodynamic instability of sodium ion intercalates-graphite compounds. In this work, sodium fluorozirconate (Na3ZrF7, SFZ) functionalized graphite (SFZ-G) is designed and prepared by the in situ mechanochemical silicon (Si) replacement of sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6, SFS) and functionalization of graphite at the same time. During the mechanochemical process, the atomic Si in SFS is directly replaced by atomic zirconium (Zr) from the zirconium oxide (ZrO2) balls and container in the presence of graphite, forming SFZ-G. The resulting SFZ-G, working as an anode material for sodium ion storage, shows a significantly enhanced capacity of 418.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C-rate, compared to pristine graphite (35 mAh g-1) and simply ball-milled graphite (BM-G, 200 mAh g-1). In addition, the SFZ-G exhibits stable sodium-ion storage performance with 86% of its initial capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2.0 C-rate.

Abstract
Metal selenides show outstanding sodium-ion storage performance when matched with an ether-based electrolyte. However, the intrinsic origin of improvement and deterministic interface characteristics have not been systematically elucidated. Herein, employing FeSe2 anode as the model system, the electrochemical kinetics of metal selenides in ether and ester-based electrolytes and associated solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) are investigated in detail. Based on the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique and in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it is found that the ether-based electrolyte can ensure fast Na+ transfer and low interface impedance. Additionally, the ether-derived thin and smooth double-layer SEI, which is critical in facilitating ion transport, maintaining structural stability, and inhibiting electrolyte overdecomposition, is concretely visualized by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This work provides a deep understanding of the optimization mechanism of electrolytes, which can guide available inspiration for the design of practical electrode materials.

Abstract
Lithium-based batteries (LBBs) have been highly researched and recognized as a mature electrochemical energy storage (EES) system in recent years. However, their stability and effectiveness are primarily confined to room temperature conditions. At temperatures significantly below 0 °C or above 60 °C, LBBs experience substantial performance degradation. Under such challenging extreme contexts, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) emerge as a promising complementary technology, distinguished by their fast dynamics at low-temperature regions and superior safety under elevated temperatures. Notably, developing SIBs suitable for wide-temperature usage still presents significant challenges, particularly for specific applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and deep-space/polar explorations, which requires a thorough understanding of how SIBs perform under different temperature conditions. By reviewing the development of wide-temperature SIBs, the influence of temperature on the parameters related to battery performance, such as reaction constant, charge transfer resistance, etc., is systematically and comprehensively analyzed. The review emphasizes challenges encountered by SIBs in both low and high temperatures while exploring recent advancements in SIB materials, specifically focusing on strategies to enhance battery performance across diverse temperature ranges. Overall, insights gained from these studies will drive the development of SIBs that can handle the challenges posed by diverse and harsh climates.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have undergone rapid development as a complementary technology to lithium-ion batteries due to abundant sodium resources. However, the extended charging time and low energy density pose a significant challenge to the widespread use of SIBs in electric vehicles. To overcome this hurdle, there is considerable focus on developing fast-charging anode materials with rapid Na⁺ diffusion and superior reaction kinetics. Here, the key factors that limit the fast charging of anode materials are examined, which provides a comprehensive overview of the major advances and fast-charging characteristics across various anode materials. Specifically, it systematically dissects considerations to enhance the rate performance of anode materials, encompassing aspects such as porous engineering, electrolyte desolvation strategies, electrode/electrolyte interphase, electronic conductivity/ion diffusivity, and pseudocapacitive ion storage. Finally, the direction and prospects for developing fast-charging anode materials of SIBs are also proposed, aiming to provide a valuable reference for the further advancement of high-power SIBs.

Abstract
Increasing closed pore volume in hard carbon is considered to be the most effective way to enhance the electrochemical performance in sodium-ion batteries. However, there is a lack of systematic insights into the formation mechanisms of closed pores at molecular level. In this study, a regulation strategy of closed pores via adjustment of the content of free radicals is reported. Sufficient free radicals are exposed by part delignification of bamboo, which is related to the formation of well-developed carbon layers and rich closed pores. In addition, excessive free radicals from nearly total delignification lead to more reactive sites during pyrolysis, which competes for limited precursor debris to form smaller microcrystals and therefore compact the material. The optimal sample delivers a large closed pore volume of 0.203 cm3 g-1, which leads to a high reversible capacity of 350 mAh g-1 at 20 mA g-1 and enhanced Na+ transfer kinetics. This work provides insights into the formation mechanisms of closed pores at molecular level, enabling rational design of hard carbon pore structures.

Abstract
Presodiation has shown great promise in compensating sodium storage losses. In the absence of a mechanistic understanding of how presodiation affects the surface of an electrode material, packaging optimization is restricted. Focusing on interfaces, we illustrate the working principle of presodiation in virtue of short-circuiting internal circuits. The presodiated carbon nanotubes (PS-CNTs) provide a thin, denser, and more robust solid electrolyte interfacial layer, enabling a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE), high power density, and cycling stability with the merits of uniformly distributed NaF. As a result, our assembled sodium-ion battery (SIB) full cell with PS-CNT has an ICE of 91.6% and an energy density of 226 Wh kg-1, which was superior to the pristine CNT control electrode (ICE of 42.9% and energy density of 163 Wh kg-1). The gained insights can be practically applied to directly promote the commercial uses of carbon-based materials in sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Because of its abundant resources, low cost and high reversible specific capacity, hard carbon (HC) is considered as the most likely commercial anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Therefore, reasonable design and effective strategies to regulate the structure of HCs play a crucial role in promoting the development of SIBs. Herein, the progress in the preparation approaches for HC anode materials is systematically overviewed, with a special focus on the comparison between traditional fabrication methods and advanced strategies emerged in recent years in terms of their influence on performance, including preparation efficiency, initial coulombic efficiency (ICE), specific capacity and rate capability. Furthermore, the advanced strategies are categorized into two groups: those exhibiting potential for large-scale production to replace traditional methods and those presenting guidelines for achieving high-performance HC anodes from top-level design. Finally, challenges and future development prospects to achieve high-performance HC anodes are also proposed. We believe that this review will provide beneficial guidance to actualize the truly rational design of advanced HC anodes, facilitating the industrialization of SIBs and assisting in formulating design rules for developing high-end advanced electrode materials for energy storage devices.

Abstract
The microstructure of hard carbons (HCs) including interlayer distance and lateral ab direction and pore size distribution plays a key role in regulating the sodium ions storage performance. Herein, by employing the gelatinous agar as a model precursor, series P-doping HCs (P-HC-x, x = 1, 2, 3, 4) are facilely prepared in batches via controllably regulating its crosslinking state by phytic acid (PA) at a low carbonization temperature of 750 °C, in which PA plays three roles (acid, flame retardant, and P-doping precursor) in promoting the final structure of P-HC-x. Among those, the puparium like P-HC-2 with expanded carbon interlayer distance of 3.91 Å and shortened lateral ab direction of 9.4 nm delivers a high reversible capacity of 394 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 with high increased slope capacity of 363 mAh g-1 as well as an ultrafast charge-discharge feature and a superlong cycle life. Pairing with the Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode, the fabricated sodium-ion full cells exhibit the 132 mAh g-1 reversible capacity at 0.1 A g-1, and 86% capacity retention after 100 cycles. This work successfully develops slope-dominated high-performance carbon anode, which will provide new insights for the microstructure regulation and design of other precursor-derivedHCs.

Abstract
Hard carbon (HC) as a potential candidate anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) suffers from unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE), which limits its commercial applications and urgently requires the emergence of a new strategy. Herein, an organic molecule with two sodium ions, disodium phthalate (DP), was successfully engineered on the HC surface (DP-HC) to replenish the sodium loss from solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation. A stabilized and ultrathin (≈7.4 nm) SEI was constructed on the DP-HC surface, which proved to be simultaneously suitable in both ester and ether electrolytes. Compared to pure HC (60.8 %), the as-designed DP-HC exhibited a high ICE of >96.3 % in NaPF6 in diglyme (G2) electrolyte, and is capable of servicing consistently for >1600 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 . The Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (NVP)|DP-HC full-cell with a 98.3 % exceptional ICE can be cycled stably for 450 cycles, demonstrating the tremendous practical application potential of DP-HC. This work provides a molecular design strategy to improve the ICE of HC, which will inspire more researchers to concentrate on the commercialization progress of HC.

Abstract
Although hard carbon in propylene carbonate / ethylene carbonate (PC/EC)-based electrolytes possesses favorable electrochemical characteristics in rechargeable sodium-ion batteries, the underlying mechanism is still vague. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed to solve the puzzle, but none of them have satisfactorily unraveled the reason at the molecular-level. In this study, we firstly attempted to address this mystery through a profound insight into the disparity of the ion solvation/desolvation behavior in electrolyte. Combining the results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments, the work explains that compared to the sole PC-based electrolyte, Na+-EC4 molecules in the PC/EC-based electrolyte preferentially undergo reduction and contribute to the emergence of a more stable protective film on the surface of hard carbon, leading to the preferable durability and rate capability of the cell. Nevertheless, applying the ion solvation/desolvation model, it also reveals that Na+-(solvent)n molecules in the PC/EC-based electrolyte can achieve faster Na+ desolvation processes than in the PC-based electrolyte alone, contributing to the enhancement of charge transfer kinetics. This research holds great importance in uncovering the possible mechanism of the remarkable electrochemical- properties of hard carbon in PC/EC-based electrolytes, and advancing its practical utilization in future sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are a promising electrochemical energy storage system; however, their practical application is hindered by the sluggish kinetics and interfacial instability of anode-active materials. Here, to circumvent these issues, we proposed the multiscale interface engineering of S-doped TiO2 electrodes with minor sulfur/carbon inlaying (S/C@sTiO2), where the electrode-electrolyte interface (SEI) and electrode-current collector interface (ECI) are tuned to improve the Na-storage performance. It is found that the S dopant greatly promotes the Na+ diffusion kinetics. Moreover, the ether electrolyte generates much less NaF in the cycled electrode, but relatively richer NaF in the SEI in comparison to fluoroethylene carbonate-contained ester electrolyte, leading to a thin (9 nm), stable, and kinetically favorable SEI film. More importantly, the minor sodium polysulfide intermediates chemically interact with the Cu current collector to form a Cu2S interface between the electrode and the Cu foil. The conductive tree root-like Cu2S ECI serves not only as active sites to boost the specific capacity but also as a 3D "second current collector" to reinforce the electrode and improve the Na+ reaction kinetics. The synergy of S-doping and optimized SEI and ECI realizes large specific capacity (464.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), ultrahigh rate capability (305.8 mAh g-1 at 50 A g-1), and ultrastable cycling performance (91.5% capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1). To the best of our knowledge, the overall SIB performances of S/C@sTiO2 are the best among all of the TiO2-based electrodes.

Abstract
Hard carbons (HCs), while a leading candidate for sodium-ion battery (SIB) anode materials, face challenges in their unfavorable sodiation kinetics since the intricate microstructure of HCs complicates the Na+ diffusion channel. Herein, a Hovenia dulcis-derived HC realizes a markedly enhanced high-rate performance in virtue of dual-functionalized Ca. The interlayer doped Ca2+ effectively enlarges the interlayer spacing, while the in situ-formed CaSe templates induce the formation of hierarchical pore structures and intrinsic defects, significantly providing fast Na+ diffusion channels and abundant active sites and thus enhancing the sodium storage kinetics. Achieved by the synergistic effect of regulation of intrinsic microcrystalline and pore structures, the optimized HC shows remarkable performance enhancements, including a high reversible capacity of 350.3 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles at 50 mA g-1, a high-capacity retention rate of 95.3% after 1000 cycles, and excellent rate performance (108.4 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1). This work sheds light on valuable insight into the structural adjustment of high-rate HCs, facilitating the widespread utilization of SIBs.

Abstract
Sodium layered-oxides (NaxTMO2) sustain severe interfacial stability issues when subjected to battery applications. Particularly at high potential, the oxidation limits including transition metal dissolution and solid electrolyte interphase reformation are intertwined upon the cathode, resulting in poor cycle ability. Herein, by rearranging the complex and structure of the Helmholtz absorption plane adjacent to NaxTMO2 cathodes, the mechanism of constructing stable cathode/electrolyte interphase (CEI) to push up oxidation limits is clarified. The strong absorbent fluorinated anions replace the solvents into the inner Helmholtz plane, thereby reorganizing the Helmholtz absorption structure and spontaneously inducing anion-dominated interphase to envelop more active sites for layered oxides. More importantly, such multi-component CEI proves effective for the long-term durability of a series of manganese-based oxide cathodes, which achieves a 1500-cycles lifetime against high oxidation voltage limit beyond 4.3 V. This work unravels the key role of breaking high-oxidation limits in attaining higher energy density of layered-oxide systems.

Abstract
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been demonstrated to effectively enhance the potassium storage performance of transition metal selenides due to its robust mechanical properties and high conductivity. However, the impact of rGO on the electrode-electrolyte interface, a crucial factor in the electrochemical performance of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), requires further exploration. In this study, we synthesized a seamless architecture of rGO on FeSe/C nanocrystals (FeSe/C@rGO). Comparative analysis between FeSe/C and FeSe/C@rGO reveals that the rGO layer exhibits robust adsorption energies towards EC and DEC, inducing the formation of organic-rich solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) without damage to the structural integrity. Furthermore, incorporating rGO triggers K+ -ions into the double electrode layer (EDL), markedly improving the transport of K+ -ions. As a PIB anode, FeSe/C@rGO exhibits a reversible capacity of 332 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 after 300 cycles, along with excellent long-term cycling stability, showcasing an ultralow decay rate of only 0.086 % per cycle after 1900 cycles at 1000 mA g-1 .

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.
