Abstract
Multifunctional devices integrated with electrochromic and supercapacitance properties are fascinating because of their extensive usage in modern electronic applications. In this work, vanadium-doped cobalt chloride carbonate hydroxide hydrate nanostructures (V-C3H NSs) are successfully synthesized and show unique electrochromic and supercapacitor properties. The V-C3H NSs material exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1219.9 F g-1 at 1 mV s-1 with a capacitance retention of 100% over 30 000 CV cycles. The electrochromic performance of the V-C3H NSs material is confirmed through in situ spectroelectrochemical measurements, where the switching time, coloration efficiency (CE), and optical modulation (∆T) are found to be 15.7 and 18.8 s, 65.85 cm2 C-1 and 69%, respectively. A coupled multilayer artificial neural network (ANN) model is framed to predict potential and current from red (R), green (G), and blue (B) color values. The optimized V-C3H NSs are used as the active materials in the fabrication of flexible/wearable electrochromic micro-supercapacitor devices (FEMSDs) through a cost-effective mask-assisted vacuum filtration method. The fabricated FEMSD exhibits an areal capacitance of 47.15 mF cm-2 at 1 mV s-1 and offers a maximum areal energy and power density of 104.78 Wh cm-2 and 0.04 mW cm-2, respectively. This material's interesting energy storage and electrochromic properties are promising in multifunctional electrochromic energy storage applications.

Abstract
The development of LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) as a cathode material for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) intends to address the driving limitations of electric vehicles. However, the commercialization of this technology has been hindered by poor cycling stability at high cutoff voltages. The potential instability and drastic capacity fade stem from irreversible parasitic side reactions at the electrode-electrolyte interface. To address these issues, a stable nanoscale lithium fluoride (LiF) coating is deposited on the NMC811 electrode via atomic layer deposition. The nanoscale LiF coating diminishes the direct contact between NMC811 and the electrolyte, suppressing the detrimental parasitic reactions. LiF-NMC811 delivers cycling stability superior to uncoated NMC811 with high cutoff voltage for half-cell (3.0-4.6 V vs Li/Li+) and full-cell (2.8-4.5 V vs graphite) configurations. The structural, morphological, and chemical analyses of the electrodes after cycling show that capacity decline fundamentally arises from the electrode-electrolyte interface growth, irreversible phase transformation, transition metal dissolution and crossover, and particle cracking. Overall, this work demonstrates that LiF is an effective electrode coating for high-voltage cycling without compromising rate performance, even at high discharge rates. The findings of this work highlight the need to stabilize the electrode-electrolyte interface to fully utilize the high-capacity performance of NMC811.

Abstract
Developing improved anode materials is critical to the performance enhancement and the lifespan prolonging of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). In this context, carbon-based nanostructures have emerged as a promising candidate. In this work, we have synthesized N, B, and P tri-doped carbon (NBPC) spheres using a one-step carbonization method. The as-prepared NBPC exhibits exceptional properties, including an expanded layer space, sufficient structural defects, and enhanced electrical conductivity. These characteristics synergistically contribute to the remarkable rate capability and ultra-long lifespan when NBPC is employed as an anode material for SIBs. The as-prepared NBPC demonstrates a reversible capacity of 290.6 mAh/g at 0.05 A/g, with a capacity retention of 98.4% after 800 cycles. Furthermore, NBPC exhibits an impressively ultra-long cycle life of 2400 cycles at 1.0 A/g with a reversible capacity of 140.2 mAh/g. First principle calculations confirm that the introduction of N, B, and P heteroatoms in carbon enhances the binding strength of sodium ions within NBPC. This work presents a novel approach for fabricating advanced anode materials, enabling the development of long-life SIBs for practical applications.

Abstract
The creation of nanoscale organic-inorganic hybrid coatings with uniform architecture and high surface area, while maintaining their structural and morphological integrity, remains a significant challenge in the field. In this study, we present a novel solution, by utilizing Atomic/Molecular Layer Deposition (ALD/MLD) to coat patterned vertically aligned carbon nanotube micropillars with a conformal amorphous layer of Fe-NH2TP, which is a trivalent iron complex complexed with 2-amino terephthalate. The effectiveness of the coating is verified through multiple analytical techniques, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Fe-NH2TP hybrid film exhibits hydrophobic properties, as confirmed by water contact angle measurements. Our findings contribute to advancing the understanding of how to grow high-quality one-dimensional materials using ALD/MLD and hold promise for future research in this area.

Abstract
Organic/inorganic hybrid fibers (OIHFs) are intriguing materials, possessing an intrinsic high specific surface area and flexibility coupled to unique anisotropic properties, diverse chemical compositions, and controllable hybrid architectures. During the last decade, advanced OIHFs with exceptional properties for electrochemical energy applications, including possessing interconnected networks, abundant active sites, and short ion diffusion length have emerged. Here, a comprehensive overview of the controllable architectures and electrochemical energy applications of OIHFs is presented. After a brief introduction, the controllable construction of OIHFs is described in detail through precise tailoring of the overall, interior, and interface structures. Additionally, several important electrochemical energy applications including rechargeable batteries (lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries), supercapacitors (sandwich-shaped supercapacitors and fiber-shaped supercapacitors), and electrocatalysts (oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and hydrogen evolution reaction) are presented. The current state of the field and challenges are discussed, and a vision of the future directions to exploit OIHFs for electrochemical energy devices is provided.

Abstract
Li and Mn-rich nickel cobalt manganese oxide (LMR-NCM) is one of the most promising cathode materials for realizing next-generation Li-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity of >250 mA h g-1 and operating potential > 4.5 V. Nevertheless, being plagued by severe capacity fading and voltage decay, the commercialization of LMR-NCM appears to be a distant goal. The anionic activity of oxygen and associated phase transformations are the reasons behind the unstable electrochemical performance. The tendency of LMR-NCM to react with CO2 and moisture further makes it prone to interfacial instability and degradation. Here, we report a neoteric method to mitigate the stability issues and improve the electrochemical performance of LMR-NCM by changing the electronic configuration of constituting O and transition metals via diethylzinc-assisted atomic surface reduction (Zn-ASR) using an extremely facile protocol. With the proposed Zn-ASR, a 2-3 nm thin layer of a reduced surface enriched with complex ZnOx or ZnOxRy was obtained on the LMR-NCM particles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggested the transfer of ethyl groups of diethylzinc to O atoms on the LMR-NCM surface, which ultimately led to the reduction of near-surface Mn and Ni atoms and impeded irreversible anionic activity. The presence of ZnOx/ZnOxRy also resulted in superior charge transfer and resistance against HF. As a result, in contrast to LMR-NCM, the Zn-ASR-treated sample exhibited substantially improved rate capabilities, facilitated charge transfer, enhanced capacity retention, reduced parasitic reactions, and long-term stability as reflected from in-depth electrochemical analysis, in operando gaseous evolution studies, and post-mortem microscopic analysis.

Abstract
Cr8O21 can be used as the cathode material in all-solid-state batteries with high energy density due to its high reversible specific capacity and high potential plateau. However, the strong oxidation of Cr8O21 leads to poor compatibility with polymer-based solid electrolytes. Herein, to improve the cycle performance of the battery, Al2O3 atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating is applied on Cr8O21 cathodes to modify the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, etc., are used to estimate the morphology of the ALD coating and the interface reaction mechanism. The electrochemical properties of the Cr8O21 cathodes are investigated. The results show that the uniform and dense Al2O3 layer not only prevents the polyethylene oxide from oxidization but also enhances the lithium-ion transport. The 12-ALD-cycle-coated electrode with approximately 4 nm Al2O3 layer displays the optimal cycling performance, which delivers a high capacity of 260 mAh g−1 for the 125th cycle at 0.1C with a discharge-specific energy of 630 Wh kg−1.

Abstract
Powder materials are a class of industrial materials with many important applications. In some circumstances, surface modification and functionalization of these materials are essential for achieving or enhancing their expected performances. However, effective and precise surface modification of powder materials remains a challenge due to a series of problems such as high surface area, diffusion limitation, and particle agglomeration. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a cutting-edge thin film coating technology traditionally used in the semiconductor industry. ALD enables layer by layer thin film growth by alternating saturated surface reactions between the gaseous precursors and the substrate. The self-limiting nature of ALD surface reaction offers angstrom level thickness control as well as exceptional film conformality on complex structures. With these advantages, ALD has become a powerful tool to effectively fabricate powder materials for applications in many areas other than microelectronics. This review focuses on the unique capability of ALD in surface engineering of powder materials, including recent advances in the design of ALD reactors for powder fabrication, and applications of ALD in areas such as stabilization of particles, catalysts, energetic materials, batteries, wave absorbing materials and medicine. We intend to show the versatility and efficacy of ALD in fabricating various kinds of powder materials, and help the readers gain insights into the principles, methods, and unique effects of powder fabrication by ALD.

The fabrication and surface/interface engineering of electrode materials with refined structures are indispensable for achieving optimal performances for the different energy-related devices. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) techniques, the gas-phase thin film deposition processes with self-limiting and saturated surface reactions, have emerged as powerful techniques for surface and interface engineering in energy-related devices due to their exceptional capability of precise thickness control, excellent uniformity and conformity, tunable composition and relatively low deposition temperature. In the past few decades, ALD and MLD have been intensively studied for energy storage and conversion applications with remarkable progress. In this review, we give a comprehensive summary of the development and achievements of ALD and MLD and their applications for energy storage and conversion, including batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells, and photoelectrochemical water splitting. Moreover, the fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in different devices will be deeply reviewed. Furthermore, the large-scale potential of ALD and MLD techniques is discussed and predicted. Finally, we will provide insightful perspectives on future directions for new material design by ALD and MLD and untapped opportunities in energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Designing of multicomponent transition metal oxide system through the employment of advanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique over nanostructures obtained from wet chemical process is a novel approach to construct rational supercapacitor electrodes. Following the strategy, core-shell type NiO/Co3 O4 nanocone array structures are architectured over Ni-foam (NF) substrate. The high-aspect-ratio Co3 O4 nanocones are hydrothermally grown over NF following the precision controlled deposition of shell NiO considering Co3 O4 nanocone as host. NiO thickness of 5 nm exhibits the highest specific capacity of 1242 C g-1 (2760 F g-1 ) at current density 2 A g-1 , which is greater than pristine Co3 O4 @NF (1045.8 C g-1 or 2324 F g-1 ). The rate capability with 5 nm NiO/Co3 O4 @NF nanocone structures is about 77% whereas Co3 O4 @NF retains 46 % of capability at 10 A g-1 . The ultrathin ALD 5 nm NiO accelerates both rate capability and 95.5% cyclic stability after 12 000 charge-discharge cycles. An asymmetric device fabricated between 5 nm NiO/Co3 O4 @NF (positive) || activated carbon (negative) achieves an energy density of 81.45 Wh kg-1 (4268 W kg-1 ) with good cycling device stability. Additionally, LEDs can be energized by two ASC device in series. This work opens the path in both advanced electrode material and surface modification of earth-abundant systems for efficient and real-time supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
Rechargeable alkaline batteries (RABs) have received remarkable attention in the past decade for their high energy, low cost, safe operation, facile manufacture, and eco-friendly nature. To date, expensive electrode materials and current collectors were predominantly applied for RABs, which have limited their real-world efficacy. In the present work, we propose a scalable process to utilize electronic waste (e-waste) Cu wires as a cost-effective current collector for high-energy wire-type RABs. Initially, the vertically aligned CuO nanowires were prepared over the waste Cu wires via in situ alkaline corrosion. Then, both atomic-layer-deposited NiO and NiCo-hydroxide were applied to the CuO nanowires to form a uniform dendritic-structured NiCo-hydroxide/NiO/CuO/Cu electrode. When the prepared dendritic-structured electrode was applied to the RAB, it showed excellent electrochemical features, namely high-energy-density (82.42 Wh kg-1), excellent specific capacity (219 mAh g-1), and long-term cycling stability (94% capacity retention over 5000 cycles). The presented approach and material meet the requirements of a cost-effective, abundant, and highly efficient electrode for advanced eco-friendly RABs. More importantly, the present method provides an efficient path to recycle e-waste for value-added energy storage applications.

Abstract
Multicolored photonic crystal carbon fiber (CF) yarns and fabrics with mechanical robustness in a full spectrum are reported. By facilely controlling the thickness of the periodic layer, a series of photonic CF yarns and fabrics with vivid structural colors ranging from purple, green, yellow, orange, to red are obtained. Interestingly, the prepared multicolored CF yarns show anisotropic optical reflection properties because of their unique axisymmetric geometry, while the plain-woven fabrics exhibit vivid colors even under ambient scattering light. Most importantly, they can withstand cyclical mechanical rubbing, laundering, and accelerated light aging, indicating great potential for practical uses. Finally, considering such impressive characteristics as well as reflection in the visible and near-infrared regions, the above photonic crystal microstructure is further used as a new material for the application of outdoor reflective cooling of the textile surface, demonstrating a superior temperature reduction up to ∼12 °C with respect to the control sample.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen thin films were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on the surface of silicon and stainless-steel using lithium bis (trimethylsilyl) amide (LiHMDS) and different counter-reagents (water, ozone, oxygen plasma). The deposited films were non-stable at storage in the air atmosphere. Results of scanning electron microscopy showed that films show a tendency to crystallization and peeling from the substrate surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy revealed that films mainly consist of LiOH/Li2CO3. Coating the surface of lithium-oxygen films with an aluminum oxide layer using the ALD trimethylaluminum (TMA) and water as precursors did not lead to a significant improvement in stability. Nevertheless, the stable films can be obtained using ALD supercycles consisting of sequential pulsing of LiHMDS-water-TMA-water at 250°C.

Abstract
In this work, we designed ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as anode material for lithium ion batteries. ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates were fabricated on copper foil by depositing unit of 26 cycles ZnO/26 cycles TiO2 repeatedly using ALD. ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates are much more stable than pristine ZnO films during electrochemical cycling process. Therefore, ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates exhibit excellent lithium storage performance with an improved cycling performance and superior rate capability compared to pristine ZnO films. Moreover, coulombic efficiency (CE) of ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates is above 99%, which is much higher than the value of pristine ZnO films. Excellent ultralong-life performance is gained for ZnO/TiO2 nanolaminates, retaining a reversible capacity of ~667 mAh g-1 within cut-off voltage of 0.05-2.5 V after 1200 cycles of charge-discharge at 500 mA g-1. Constructing nanolaminates structures via ALD might open up new opportunities for improving the performance of anode materials with large volume expansion in lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
Sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type lithium aluminum germanium phosphate (LAGP) has attracted increasing attention as a solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), due to the good ionic conductivity and highly stable interface with Li metal. However, it still remains challenging to achieve high density and good ionic conductivity in LAGP pellets by using conventional sintering methods, because they required high temperatures (>800 °C) and long sintering time (>6 h), which could cause the loss of lithium, the formation of impurity phases, and thus the reduction of ionic conductivity. Herein, we report the utilization of a spark plasma sintering (SPS) method to synthesize LAGP pellets with a density of 3.477 g cm-3, a relative high density up to 97.6%, and a good ionic conductivity of 3.29 × 10-4 S cm-1. In contrast to the dry-pressing process followed with high-temperature annealing, the optimized SPS process only required a low operating temperature of 650 °C and short sintering time of 10 min. Despite the least energy and short time consumption, the SPS approach could still achieve LAGP pellets with high density, little voids and cracks, intimate grain-grain boundary, and high ionic conductivity. These advantages suggest the great potential of SPS as a fabrication technique for preparing solid electrolytes and composite electrodes used in ASSLIBs.

Abstract
The large-scale application of supercapacitors (SCs) for portable electronics is restricted by low energy density and cycling stability. To alleviate the limitations, a unique interface engineering strategy is suggested through atomic layer deposition (ALD) and nitrogen plasma. First, commercial carbon cloth (CC) is treated with nitrogen plasma and later inorganic NiCo2 O4 (NCO)/NiO core-shell nanowire arrays are deposited on nitrogen plasma-treated CC (NCC) to fabricate the ultrahigh stable SC. An ultrathin layer of NiO deposited on the NCO nanowire arrays via conformal ALD plays a vital role in stabilizing the NCO nanowires for thousands of electrochemical cycles. The optimized NCC/NCO/NiO core-shell electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 2439 F g-1 with a remarkable cycling stability (94.2% over 20 000 cycles). Benefiting from these integrated merits, the foldable solid-state SCs are fabricated with excellent NCC/NCO/NiO core-shell nanowire array electrodes. The fabricated SC device delivers a high energy density of 72.32 Wh kg-1 at a specific capacitance of 578 F g-1 , with ultrasmall capacitance decline rate of 0.0003% per cycle over 10 000 charge-discharge cycles. Overall, this strategy offers a new avenue for developing a new-generation high-energy, ultrahigh stable supercapacitor for real-life applications.

Abstract
In this work, TiN film deposited by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) is adopted to modify the commercial anatase TiO2 powders. A series of analyses indicate that the surface modification of 20, 50 and 100 cycles of TiN by PEALD does not change the morphology, crystal size, lattice parameters, and surface area of TiO2 nano powders, but forms an ultrathin amorphous layer of nitrogen doped TiO2 (TiOxNy) on the powder surfaces. This ultrathin TiOxNy can facilitate the absorption of TiO2 in visible light spectrum. As a result, TiOxNy coated TiO2 powders exhibit excellent photocatalytic degradation towards methyl orange under the visible light with good photocatalytic stability compared to pristine TiO2 powders. TiOxNy (100 cycles PEALD TiN) coated TiO2 powders exhibit the excellent photocatalytic activity with the degradation efficiency of 96.5% in 2 hours, much higher than that of pristine TiO2 powder of only 4.4%. These results clearly demonstrate that only an ultrathin surface modification layer can dramatically improve the visible light photocatalytic activity of commercial TiO2 powders. Therefore, this surface modification using ALD is an extremely promising route to prepare visible light active photocatalysts.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries are the enabling technology for a variety of modern day devices, including cell phones, laptops and electric vehicles. To answer the energy and voltage demands of future applications, further materials engineering of the battery components is necessary. To that end, metal fluorides could provide interesting new conversion cathode and solid electrolyte materials for future batteries. To be applicable in thin film batteries, metal fluorides should be deposited with a method providing a high level of control over uniformity and conformality on various substrate materials and geometries. Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a method widely used in microelectronics, offers unrivalled film uniformity and conformality, in conjunction with strict control of film composition. In this review, the basics of lithium-ion batteries are shortly introduced, followed by a discussion of metal fluorides as potential lithium-ion battery materials. The basics of ALD are then covered, followed by a review of some conventional lithium-ion battery materials that have been deposited by ALD. Finally, metal fluoride ALD processes reported in the literature are comprehensively reviewed. It is clear that more research on the ALD of fluorides is needed, especially transition metal fluorides, to expand the number of potential battery materials available.

Abstract
Iron oxides (FeO x ), such as Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 materials, have attracted much attention because of their rich abundance, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, FeO x , which is similar to most transition metal oxides, possesses a poor rate capability and cycling life. Thus, FeO x -based materials consisting of FeO x , carbon, and metal-based materials have been widely explored. This article mainly discusses FeO x -based materials (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) for electrochemical energy storage applications, including supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries (e.g., lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries). Furthermore, future perspectives and challenges of FeO x -based materials for electrochemical energy storage are briefly discussed.

Highly Enhanced Visible-Light-Driven Photoelectrochemical Performance of ZnO-Modified In 2S 3 Nanosheet Arrays by Atomic Layer Deposition. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2018; 10:45. [PMID: 30393694 PMCID: PMC6199096 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-018-0199-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2018] [Accepted: 03/23/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Photoanodes based on In2S3/ZnO heterojunction nanosheet arrays (NSAs) have been fabricated by atomic layer deposition of ZnO over In2S3 NSAs, which were in situ grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide glasses via a facile solvothermal process. The as-prepared photoanodes show dramatically enhanced performance for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, compared to single semiconductor counterparts. The optical and PEC properties of In2S3/ZnO NSAs have been optimized by modulating the thickness of the ZnO overlayer. After pairing with ZnO, the NSAs exhibit a broadened absorption range and an increased light absorptance over a wide wavelength region of 250-850 nm. The optimized sample of In2S3/ZnO-50 NSAs shows a photocurrent density of 1.642 mA cm-2 (1.5 V vs. RHE) and an incident photon-to-current efficiency of 27.64% at 380 nm (1.23 V vs. RHE), which are 70 and 116 times higher than those of the pristine In2S3 NSAs, respectively. A detailed energy band edge analysis reveals the type-II band alignment of the In2S3/ZnO heterojunction, which enables efficient separation and collection of photogenerated carriers, especially with the assistance of positive bias potential, and then results in the significantly increased PEC activity.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received extensive attention as ideal candidates for large-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) owing to the rich resources and low cost of sodium (Na). However, the larger size of Na+ and the less negative redox potential of Na+ /Na result in low energy densities, short cycling life, and the sluggish kinetics of SIBs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop appropriate Na storage electrode materials with the capability to host larger Na+ and fast ion diffusion kinetics. 1D materials such as nanofibers, nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowires, are generally considered to be high-capacity and stable electrode materials, due to their uniform structure, orientated electronic and ionic transport, and strong tolerance to stress change. Here, the synthesis of 1D nanomaterials and their applications in SIBs are reviewed. In addition, the prospects of 1D nanomaterials on energy conversion and storage as well as the development and application orientation of SIBs are presented.

Abstract
Self-supported hollow nanoarrays with hierarchical pores and rich reaction sites are promising for advanced electrocatalysis. Herein, we report a rational design of novel CoS2 nanotube arrays assembled on a flexible support which can be directly utilized as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. Uniform wire-like metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoarrays were first fabricated and a sulfidation process by thermal treatment was carried out to transform the MOF arrays into CoS2 nanotube arrays. The unique hollow CoS2 tubular arrays are shown to provide high surface area for an efficient electrochemical reaction, and the well-defined electrical/mechanical connection to the substrate enhances both mass and electron transfer. The CoS2 nanotube arrays exhibited a high electrochemical activity in catalyzing both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions, in terms of low onset potential, high current density and excellent stability. Using the CoS2 nanotube arrays as catalysts, a water-splitting current density of 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline solution is achieved with a cell voltage of 1.67 V, and the stable current can be maintained for 20 h even when the electrode is in a bent state.

Abstract
Electrode materials and electrolytes play a vital role in device-level performance of rechargeable Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, electrode structure/component degeneration and electrode-electrolyte sur-/interface evolution are identified as the most crucial obstacles in practical applications. Thanks to its congenital advantages, atomic layer deposition (ALD) methodology has attracted enormous attention in advanced LIBs. This review mainly focuses upon the up-to-date progress and development of the ALD in high-performance LIBs. The significant roles of the ALD in rational design and fabrication of multi-dimensional nanostructured electrode materials, and finely tailoring electrode-electrolyte sur-/interfaces are comprehensively highlighted. Furthermore, we clearly envision that this contribution will motivate more extensive and insightful studies in the ALD to considerably improve Li-storage behaviors. Future trends and prospects to further develop advanced ALD nanotechnology in next-generation LIBs were also presented.

Atomic-Layer-Deposition Assisted Formation of Wafer-Scale Double-Layer Metal Nanoparticles with Tunable Nanogap for Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering. Sci Rep 2017; 7:5161.

Abstract
A simple high-throughput approach is presented in this work to fabricate the Au nanoparticles (NPs)/nanogap/Au NPs structure for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). This plasmonic nanostructure can be prepared feasibly by the combination of rapid thermal annealing (RTA), atomic layer deposition (ALD) and chemical etching process. The nanogap size between Au NPs can be easily and precisely tuned to nanometer scale by adjusting the thickness of sacrificial ALD Al2O3 layer. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation data indicate that most of enhanced field locates at Au NPs nanogap area. Moreover, Au NPs/nanogap/Au NPs structure with smaller gap exhibits the larger electromagnetic field. Experimental results agree well with FDTD simulation data, the plasmonic structure with smaller nanogap size has a stronger Raman intensity. There is highly strong plasmonic coupling in the Au nanogap, so that a great SERS effect is obtained when detecting methylene blue (MB) molecules with an enhancement factor (EF) over 107. Furthermore, this plasmonic nanostructure can be designed on large area with high density and high intensity hot spots. This strategy of producing nanoscale metal gap on large area has significant implications for ultrasensitive Raman detection and practical SERS application.

Abstract
We report the fabrication of 3D flower-like MoS2 nanosheets arrays on carbon cloth as a binder-free anode for sodium ion battery. Ultrathin and conformal TiO2 layers are used to modify the surface of MoS2 by atomic layer deposition. The electrochemical performance measurements demonstrate that the ALD TiO2 layer can improve the cycling stability and rate capability of MoS2. The MoS2 nanosheets with 0.5-nm TiO2 coating electrode show the highest initial discharge capacity of 1392 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1, which is increased by 53% compared with that of bare MoS2. After 150 cycles, the capacity retention rate of the TiO2-coated MoS2 achieves 75.8% of its second cycle's capacity at 200 mA h g-1 in contrast to that of 59% of pure MoS2. Furthermore, the mechanism behind the experimental results is revealed by ex situ scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) characterizations, which confirms that the ultrathin TiO2 modifications can prevent the structural degradation and the formation of SEI film of MoS2 electrode.

Abstract
To employ Li-based batteries to their full potential in a wide range of energy-storage applications, their capacity and performance stability must be improved. Si is a viable anode material for Li-based batteries in electric vehicles due to its high theoretical capacity and good economic feasibility. However, it suffers from physical and chemical degradation, leading to unstable electrochemical performance and preventing its incorporation in new Li-based battery systems. Herein, we applied a poly(vinyl alcohol)-PO4 protective coating for Si-graphite anodes and confirmed an improvement in the electrochemical performance. The experimental results revealed that the polymer acts as a binder to alleviate the pulverization of the electrode. Furthermore, the oxide coating reduces the loss of Li2O, which has high ionic conductivity, during operation, resulting in the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase. Our findings suggest that a stable and ion-conducting anode/interphase can be developed by applying an oxide and polymer coating in combined approach. Therefore, this study is expected to provide a basis for the further development and design of high-performance Li-based battery systems.

Abstract
The hybrid supercapacitor using carbon/AlPO4 hybrid-coated H2Ti12O25/activated carbon is fabricated as a cylindrical cell and investigated against electrochemical performances. The hybrid coating shows that the conductivity for the electron and Li ion is superior and it prevented active material from HF attack. Consequently, carbon/AlPO4 hybrid-coated H2Ti12O25 shows enhanced rate capability and long-term cycle life. Also, the hybrid coating inhibits swelling phenomenon caused by gas generated as decomposition reaction of electrolyte. Therefore, the hybrid supercapacitor using carbon/AlPO4 hybrid-coated H2Ti12O25/activated carbon can be applied to an energy storage system that requires a long-term life.
