Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) hold great potential for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their multielectron conversion reactions, yet face challenges of poor intrinsic conductivity, sluggish diffusion kinetics, severe phase transitions, and structural collapse during cycling. Herein, a self-templating strategy is proposed for the synthesis of a class of metal cobalt-doped NiSe nanoparticles confined within three-dimensional (3D) N-doped macroporous carbon matrix nanohybrids (Co-NiSe/NMC). The cation defect engineering within the developed Co-NiSe and 3D N-doped carbon plays a crucial role in enhancing intrinsic conductivity, reinforcing structural stability, and reducing the barrier to sodium ion diffusion, which are verified by a series of electrochemical kinetic analyses and density functional theory calculations. Significantly, such cation defect engineering not only reduces overpotential but also accelerates conversion reaction kinetics, ensuring both exceptional high-rate capability and extended durability. Consequently, the optimally engineered Co-NiSe/NMC demonstrates a remarkable rate performance, delivering 390 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1. Moreover, it exhibits an unprecedented lifespan, maintaining a remarkable capacity of 403 mAh g-1 after 1400 cycles and 318 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles, even at high rates of 1.0 and 2.0 A g-1, respectively. This work marks a substantial advancement in achieving both high performance and prolonged cycle life in sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Hard-soft carbon hybrid materials, harvesting the expanded interlayer spacing of hard carbon and the high conductivity of soft carbon, hold great promise as anode materials for potassium-ion batteries, but efficient and precise structural control remains a major challenge. Herein, hollow porous bowl-like hard-soft carbon hybrid materials (BHSCs) are facilely synthesized by an in situ hard-template strategy. It is found that the outer and inner walls of the hard carbon bowls are uniformly wrapped by graphene-like soft carbon, which accelerates electron transport and promotes the insertion of potassium ions. Finite element simulation further reveals that the soft-hard-soft carbon shell structure releases stress during the insertion of potassium ions. As a result, BHSC anode exhibits an extraordinary rate capability (209 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1) and excellent cycle stability with a capacity of 208 mAh g-1 after 5000 cycles at 2 A g-1. Impressively, the as-assembled potassium-ion hybrid capacitor based on BHSC anode delivers a great energy/power density (116 Wh kg-1/12980 W kg-1) and outstanding capacity retention of 83% after 8000 cycles. This work provides guidance for rational structural design of hard-soft carbon hybrid materials to improve their potassium-ion storage performance.

Abstract
The interfacial electric field (IEF) in the heterostructure can accelerate electron transport and ion migration, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Nevertheless, the quantification and modulation of the IEF for high-efficiency PIB anodes currently remains a blank slate. Herein, we achieve for the first time the quantification and tuning of IEF via amorphous carbon-coated undifferentiated cobalt-doped FeSe/Fe3Se4 heterostructure (denoted UN-CoFe4Se5/C) for efficient potassium storage. Co doping can increase the IEF in FeSe/Fe3Se4, thereby improving the electron transport, promoting the potassium adsorption capacity, and lowering the diffusion barrier. As expected, the IEF magnitude in UN-CoFe4Se5/C is experimentally quantified as 62.84 mV, which is 3.65 times larger than that of amorphous carbon-coated FeSe/Fe3Se4 heterostructure (Fe4Se5/C). Benefiting from the strong IEF, UN-CoFe4Se5/C as a PIB anode exhibits superior rate capability (145.8 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1) and long cycle lifespan (capacity retention of 95.1 % over 3000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1). Furthermore, this undifferentiated doping strategy can universally regulate the IEF magnitude in CoSe2/Co9Se8 and FeS2/Fe7S8 heterostructures. This work can provide fundamental insights into the design of advanced PIB electrodes.

Abstract
As a promising anode material, silicon-carbon composites encounter great challenges related to internal stress release and contact between the composites during lithiation. These issues lead to material degradation and concomitantly rapid capacity decline. Here, we report a type of shell-shell silicon-carbon (SS-Si/C) composite, which consists of a carbon shell tightly coated with a silicon shell. The mechanical analysis unveils that the dominant inward expansion of the Si shell is achieved through the synergistic effect of the outer carbon shell and the inner hollow structure. Benefiting from the well-tailored shell-shell structure, the SS-Si/C anode exhibits exceptional performance, boasting a high specific capacity (1690.3 mA h g-1 after 550 cycles at 0.5 A g-1), a high areal capacity (2.05 mA h cm-2 after more than 400 cycles at 0.5 mA cm-2), and an extended cycling life (1055.6 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 8 A g-1), far exceeding commercially available Si/C anodes. Using the well-designed SS-Si/C anode, full cells assembled with LiCoO2 (LCO) or LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes achieve favorable rate capability and cyclic stability. Notably, at a high rate of 6 C (1 C = 170 and 270 mA g-1 for LFP and LCO, respectively), these full cells deliver high specific capacities of 79.5 mA h g-1 and 64.9 mA h g-1 when using LCO and LFP, respectively, demonstrating the potential of SS-Si/C anodes for practical applications. The straightforward and safe synthesis method in this work enables the rational design of hollow structures with distinct properties.

Abstract
The heterostructure of transition-metal chalcogenides is a promising approach to boost alkali ion storage due to fast charge kinetics and reduction of activation energy. However, cycling performance is a paramount challenge that is suffering from poor reversibility. Herein, it is reported that Se-rich particles can chemically interact with local hexagonal ZnSe/MnSe@C heterostructure environment, leading to effective ions insertion/extraction, enabling high reversibility. Enlightened by theoretical understanding, Se-rich particles endow high intrinsic conductivities in term of low energy barriers (1.32 eV) compared with those without Se-rich particles (1.50 eV) toward the sodiation process. Moreover, p orbitals of Se-rich particles may actively participate and further increase the electronegativity that pushes the Mn d orbitals (dxy and dx2-y2) and donate their electrons to dxz and dyz orbitals, manifesting strong d-d orbitals interaction between ZnSe and MnSe. Such fundamental interaction will adopt a well-stable conducive electronic bridge, eventually, charges are easily transferred from ZnSe to MnSe in the heterostructure during sodiation/desodiation. Therefore, the optimized Se-rich ZnSe/MnSe@C electrode delivered high capacity of 576 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles and 384 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 2500 cycles, respectively. In situ and ex situ measurements further indicate the integrity and reversibility of the electrode materials upon charging/discharging.

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
In recent years, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have gained a foothold in specific applications related to lithium-ion batteries, thanks to continuous breakthroughs and innovations in materials by researchers. Commercial graphite anodes suffer from small interlayer spacing (0.334 nm), limited specific capacity (200 mAh g-1), and low discharge voltage (<0.1 V), making them inefficient for high-performance operation in SIBs. Hence, the current research focus is on seeking negative electrode materials that are compatible with the operation of SIBs. Many studies have been reported on the modification of transition metal selenides as anodes in SIBs, mainly targeting the issue of poor cycling life attributed to the volume expansion of the material during sodium-ion extraction and insertion processes. However, the intrinsic electronic structure of transition metal selenides also influences electron transport and sodium-ion diffusion. Therefore, modulating their electronic structure can fundamentally improve the electron affinity of transition metal selenides, thereby enhancing their rate performance in SIBs. This work provides a comprehensive review of recent strategies focusing on the modulation of electronic structures and the construction of heterogeneous structures for transition metal selenides. These strategies effectively enhance their performance metrics as electrodes in SIBs, including fast charging, stability, and first-cycle coulombic efficiency, thereby facilitating the development of high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Metal chalcogenides as an ideal family of anode materials demonstrate a high theoretical specific capacity for potassium ion batteries (PIBs), but the huge volume variance and poor cyclic stability hinder their practical applications. In this study, a design of a stress self-adaptive structure with ultrafine SnSe nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanofiber (SnSe@CNF) via the electrospinning technology is presented. Such an architecture delivers a record high specific capacity (272 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1) and high-rate performance (125 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1) as a PIB anode. It is decoded that the fundamental understanding for this great performance is that the ultrafine SnSe particles enhance the full utilization of the active material and achieve stress relief as the stored strain energy from cycling is insufficient to drive crack propagation and thus alleviates the intrinsic chemo-mechanical degradation of metal chalcogenides.

Abstract
Manganese sulfide (MnS) is a promising converion-type anode for sodium storage, owing to the virtues of high theoretical capacity, coupled with it crustal abundance and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, MnS suffers from inadequate electronic conductivity, sluggish Na+ reaction kinetics and considerable volume variation during discharge/charge process, thereby impeding its rate capability and capacity retention. Herein, a novel lamellar heterostructured composite of Fe-doped MnS nanoparticles/positively charged reduced graphene oxide (Fe-MnS/PG) was synthesized to overcome these issues. The Fe-doping can accelerate the ion/electron transfer, endowing fast electrochemical kinetics of MnS. Meanwhile, the graphene space confinement with strong MnSC bond interactions can facilite the interfacial electron transfer, hamper volume expansion and aggregation of MnS nanoparticles, stabilizing the structural integrity, thus improving the Na+ storage reversibility and cyclic stability. Combining the synergistic effect of Fe-doping and space confinement with strong MnSC bond interactions, the as-produced Fe-MnS/PG anode presents a remarkable capacity of 567 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g and outstanding rate performance (192 mAh/g at 10 A/g). Meanwhile, the as-assembled sodium-ion capacitor (SIC) can yield a high energy density of 119 Wh kg-1 and a maximum power density of 17500 W kg-1, with capacity retention of 77 % at 1 A/g after 5000 cycles. This work offers a promising strategy to develop MnS-based practical SICs with high energy and long lifespan, and paves the way for fabricating advanced anode materials.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 674:289-296. [PMID: 38936085 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Iron sulfides (FeS2) are promising anode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs); however, their inferior electronic conductivity, large volume swelling, and sluggish sodium ion diffusion kinetics lead to unsatisfactory rate performance and cycling durability. Heteroatom doping plays a crucial role in modifying the physicochemical properties of FeS2 anodes to enhance its sodium storage. Herein, ultra-fine Ni-doped FeS2 nanocrystals derived from a metal-organic framework (MOF) and in-situ anchored on a nitrogen doped carbon skeleton (Ni-FeS2@NC) are proposed to enhance both structural stability and reaction kinetics. Material characterization, electrochemical performance, and kinetics analysis demonstrate the critical role of Ni doping in sodium storage, particularly in accelerating Na+ diffusion efficiency. The N-doped carbon derived from the MOF can buffer the volume expansion and enhance the structural stability of electrode materials during sodiation/desodiation processes. As expected, Ni-FeS2@NC exhibits a high reversible capacity of 656.6 ± 65.1 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 200 cycles, superior rate performance (308.8 ± 6.0 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1), and long-term cycling durability over 2000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1. Overall, this study presents an effective approach for enhancing the sodium storage performance and kinetics of anode materials for high efficiency SIBs.

Abstract
Functional separators modified by transition metal compounds have been proven to be effective in suppressing the shuttle effect of polysulfides and accelerating sluggish electrode dynamics in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). However, the behaviors of heterojunctions composed of transition metals and their compounds in LSBs are still rarely studied. Herein, we report a novel Ni-CoSe2 heterostructure coated with nitrogen-doped carbon. Compared to homogeneous cobalt diselenide, it exhibits much stronger adsorption and catalytic conversion abilities towards polysulfides. With the modified separators, the lithium-sulfur batteries exhibit significantly improved capacity retention and reduced polarization during cycling.

Abstract
Coupling sites of nitrogen-dopants and intrinsic carbon defects (N/DC) are highly attractive to improve potassium-storage capacity and cycling stability, yet it is hard to effectively construct them. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed to establish abundant N/DC sites in N-doped carbon (ZIF8/NaBr-1-900) by pyrolyzing the mixture of metal-organic framework (ZIF8)/sodium bromide (NaBr). Systematic investigations disclose that the introduced NaBr can promote the full conversion of Zn-N4 moieties into zinc oxide (ZnO) via a "bait and switch" mechanism. Such formed endogenous ZnO can etch the carbon matrix of the confined domains around the N dopants during pyrolysis process, and meanwhile the released N-atoms from Zn-N4 moieties can largely form edge-N. As such, these N/DC coupling sites enable the resultant carbon to have a more significant capacitive behavior related to fast K-ion migration and high structural stability, leading to 255.3 mAh/g at 2 A/g with a prolonged cycle lifespan over 2000 cycles. Moreover, the assembled K-full battery presents a high energy density of 171.2 Wh kg-1 and excellent cyclability over 5000 cycles. This NaBr-mediated endogenous ZnO domain-confined etching strategy provides a new insight into the exploration of advanced carbon anode.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been widely studied as cathodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their three-dimensional framework structure and easily adjustable composition. However, the phase transition behavior and [Fe(CN)6]4- anionic defects severely deteriorate electrochemical performances. Herein, we propose a defect-free potassium iron manganese hexacyanoferrate (K1.47Fe0.5Mn0.5[Fe(CN)6]·1.26H2O, KFMHCF-1/2) as the cathode material for PIBs. The Fe-Mn binary synergistic and defect-free effects can inhibit the cell volume change and octahedral slip during the K-ion insertion/extraction process, so that the phase transformation behavior (monoclinic ↔ cubic) is effectively inhibited, achieving a zero-strain solid solution mechanism employing Fe and Mn as dual active-sites. Thus, KFMHCF-1/2 contributes the highest initial capacity of 155.3 mAh·g-1 with an energy density of 599.5 Wh·kg-1 at 10 mA·g-1 among the reported PBA cathodes, superior rate capability, and cyclic stability over 450 cycles. The assembled K-ion full battery using K deposited on graphite (K@G) as anode also delivers high reversible specific capacity of 131.1 mAh·g-1 at 20 mA·g-1 and ultralong lifespans over 1000 cycles at 50 mA·g-1 with the lowest capacity decay rate of 0.044% per cycle. This work will promote the rapid application of high-energy-density PIBs.

Abstract
In the past few decades, great efforts have been made to develop advanced transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials as metal-ion battery electrodes. However, due to existing conversion reactions, they still suffer from structural aggregation and restacking, unsatisfactory cycling reversibility, and limited ion storage dynamics during electrochemical cycling. To address these issues, extensive research has focused on molecular modulation strategies to optimize the physical and chemical properties of TMDs, including phase engineering, defect engineering, interlayer spacing expansion, heteroatom doping, alloy engineering, and bond modulation. A timely summary of these strategies can help deepen the understanding of their basic mechanisms and serve as a reference for future research. This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent advances in molecular modulation strategies for TMDs. A series of challenges and opportunities in the research field are also outlined. The basic mechanisms of different modulation strategies and their specific influences on the electrochemical performance of TMDs are highlighted.

Abstract
Atomic-scale interface engineering is a prominent strategy to address the large volume expansions and sluggish redox kinetics for reinforcing K-storage. Here, to accelerate charge transport and lower the activation energy, dual carbon-modified interfacial regions are synthesized with high lattice-matching degree, which is formed from a CoSe2 /FeSe2 heterostructure coated onto hollow carbon fibers. State-of-the-art characterization techniques and theoretical analysis, including ex-situ soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray tomography, ultrasonic transmission mapping, and density functional theory, are conducted to probe local atomic structure evolution, mechanical degradation mechanisms, and ion/electron migration pathways. The results suggest that the heterostructure composed of the same crystal system and space group can sharply regulate the redox kinetics of transition metal selenium and dual carbon-modified approach can tailor physicochemical degradation. Overall, this work presents the design of a stable heterojunction synergistic superior hollow carbon substrate, inspiring a pathway of interface engineering strategy toward high-performance electrode.

Abstract
Engineering transition metal compounds (TMCs) catalysts with excellent adsorption-catalytic ability has been one of the most effective strategies to accelerate the redox kinetics of sulfur cathodes. Herein, this review focuses on engineering TMCs catalysts by cation doping/anion doping/dual doping, bimetallic/bi-anionic TMCs, and TMCs-based heterostructure composites. It is obvious that introducing cations/anions to TMCs or constructing heterostructure can boost adsorption-catalytic capacity by regulating the electronic structure including energy band, d/p-band center, electron filling, and valence state. Moreover, the electronic structure of doped/dual-ionic TMCs are adjusted by inducing ions with different electronegativity, electron filling, and ion radius, resulting in electron redistribution, bonds reconstruction, induced vacancies due to the electronic interaction and changed crystal structure such as lattice spacing and lattice distortion. Different from the aforementioned two strategies, heterostructures are constructed by two types of TMCs with different Fermi energy levels, which causes built-in electric field and electrons transfer through the interface, and induces electron redistribution and arranged local atoms to regulate the electronic structure. Additionally, the lacking studies of the three strategies to comprehensively regulate electronic structure for improving catalytic performance are pointed out. It is believed that this review can guide the design of advanced TMCs catalysts for boosting redox of lithium sulfur batteries.

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

Abstract
New-fashioned electrode hosts for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are elaborately engineered to involve multifunctional active components that can synergistically conquer the critical issues of severe volume deformation and sluggish reaction kinetics of electrodes toward immensely enhanced battery performance. Herein, it is first reported that single-phase CoPS, a new metal phosphosulfide for SIBs, in the form of quantum dots, is successfully introduced into a leaf-shaped conductive carbon nanosheet, which can be further in situ anchored on a 3D interconnected branch-like N-doped carbon nanofiber (N-CNF) to construct a hierarchical branch-leaf-shaped CoPS@C@N-CNF architecture. Both double carbon decorations and ultrafine crystal of the CoPS in-this exquisite architecture hold many significant superiorities, such as favorable train-relaxation, fast interfacial ion-migration, multi-directional migration pathways, and sufficiently exposed Na+ -storage sites. In consequence, the CoPS@C@N-CNF affords remarkable long-cycle durability over 10 000 cycles at 20.0 A g-1 and superior rate capability. Meanwhile, the CoPS@C@N-CNF-based sodium-ion full cell renders the potential proof-of-feasibility for practical applications in consideration of its high durability over a long-term cyclic lifespan with remarkable reversible capacity. Moreover, the phase transformation mechanism of the CoPS@C@N-CNF and fundamental springhead of the enhanced performance are disclosed by in situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ high-resolution TEM, and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Assembling two-dimensional (2D) MXene nanosheets into monolithic three-dimensional (3D) structures is an efficient pathway to transfer the nanoscale properties to practical applications. Nevertheless, the majority of the preparation schemes described in the literature are carried out at relatively high temperatures, which inevitably leads to the notorious high-temperature oxidation issue of MXenes. Preparing MXene-based hydrogels at lower temperatures or even room temperature is of great research importance. In this study, we report a novel and efficient room-temperature gelation method for fabricating 3D macro-porous Ti3C2Tx MXene/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) hybrid hydrogels, using anhydrous sodium sulfide (Na2S) as the primary reducing agent and l-cysteine as the auxiliary crosslinker. This room-temperature preparation technique successfully prevents the oxidation issue of MXenes and generates porous aerogels with excellent structural robustness after freeze-drying. As the self-standing anode for sodium-ion storage, the optimized 3D Ti3C2Tx MXene/RGO electrode possesses a specific capacity of 152 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g and good cycling stability with no significant capacity degradation after 500 cycles, which is significantly higher than that of the vacuum-filtered MXene film. This work demonstrates a straightforward room-temperature gelation method for constructing 3D MXene-based hydrogels to avoid the oxidation of MXenes, and casts new insight on the mechanism of the graphene oxide (GO)-assisted gelation.

Abstract
Molybdenum selenium (MoSe2 ) has tremendous potential in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its large interlayer distance, favorable bandgap, and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the poor conductivity and large K+ insertion/extraction in MoSe2 inevitably leads to sluggish reaction kinetics and poor structural stability. Herein, Coinduced engineering is employed to illuminate high-conductivity electron pathway and mobile ion diffusion of MoSe2 nanosheets anchored on reduced graphene oxide substrate (Co-MoSe2 /rGO). Benefiting from the activated electronic conductivity and ion diffusion kinetics, and an expanded interlayer spacing resulting from Co doping, combined with the interface coupling with highly conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) substrate through Mo-C bonding, the Co-MoSe2 /rGO anode demonstrates remarkable reversible capacity, superior rate capability, and stable long-term cyclability for potassium storage, as well as superior energy density and high power density for potassium-ion capacitors. Systematic performance measurement, dynamic analysis, in-situ/ex-situ measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate the performance-enhancing mechanism of Co-MoSe2 /rGO in view of the electronic and ionic transport kinetics. This work offers deep atomic insights into the fundamental factors of electrodes for potassium-ion batteries/capacitors with superior electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Defect-rich carbon materials are considered as one of the most promising anodes for potassium-ion batteries due to their enormous adsorption sites of K+ , while the realization of both rate capability and cycling stability is still greatly limited by unstable electrochemical kinetics and inevitable structure degradation. Herein, an Fe3+ -induced hydrothermal-pyrolysis strategy is reported to construct well-tailored hybrid carbon nanotubes network architecture (PP-CNT), in which the short-range graphitic nanodomains are in-situ localized in the pea pod shape hypocrystalline carbon. The N,O codoped hypocrystalline carbon region contributes to abundant defect sites for potassium ion storage, ensuring high reversible capacity. Meanwhile, the short-range graphitic nanodomains with expanded interlayer spacing facilitate stable K+ migration and fast electron transfer. Furthermore, the finite element analysis confirms the volume expansion caused by K+ intercalation can be availably buffered due to the multidirection stress release effect of the unique porous pea pod shape, endowing carbon nanotubes with superior structural integrity. Consequently, the PP-CNT anode exhibits superior potassium-storage performance, including high reversible capacity, exceptional rate capability, and ultralong cycling stability. This work opens a new avenue for the fabrication of advanced carbon materials for achieving durable and fast potassium storage.

Abstract
The exploration of anode materials that can store large-sized K-ion to solve the poor kinetics and large volume expansion issues has become the key scientific bottlenecks hindering the development of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Herein, ultrafine CoTe2 quantum rods physiochemically encapsulated by graphene and nitrogen-doped carbon (CoTe2@rGO@NC) are regarded as anode electrodes for PIBs. Dual physicochemical confinement and quantum size effect not only enhance electrochemical kinetics but also restrain large lattice stress during repeated K-ion insertion/extraction process. Superior electronic conductivity, K-ion adsorption, and diffusion ability can be acquired for CoTe2@rGO@NC, confirmed through first-principles calculations and kinetics study. K-ion insertion/extraction proceeds via a typical conversion mechanism relying on Co as the redox site, where the robust chemical bond of COCo plays an important role in maintaining the electrode stability. Accordingly, CoTe2@rGO@NC contributes a high initial capacity of 237.6 mAh·g-1 at 200 mA·g-1, a long lifetime over 500 cycles with low-capacity decay of 0.10% per cycle. This research will lay the materials science foundation for the construction of quantum-rod electrodes.

Abstract
Na4MnV(PO4)3 (NMVP) is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of its extraordinary three-dimensional structure that provides plenty of channels for sodium-ion migration. However, the unsatisfied electrical conductivity of NMVP limits its utilization in SIBs. Herein, Zn-doped NMVP with a uniform carbonized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) coating layer, named NMZVP@cPAN, was synthesized via a sol-gel method, and carbonized PAN was uniformly distributed on the surface of NMVP. Therefore, the NMZVP@cPAN cathodes exhibited an outstanding discharge capacity of 70.6 mA·h·g-1 at 30 C and remarkable cycling stability with an admirable retention of 89.64% after 1000 cycles at 5 C. Rietveld refinement and ex situ X-ray diffraction analyses were performed to determine the change in the crystal structure. Density functional theory calculations were performed to determine the effects of Zn doping on the density of states and the migration energy barriers. Finally, the NMZVP@cPAN cathodes were successfully modified and could be used in SIBs as NMVP cathodes.

Abstract
Developing cost-effective, highly catalytic active, and stable electrocatalysts in alkaline electrolytes is important for the development of highly efficient anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE). To this end, metal oxides/hydroxides have attracted wide research interest for efficient electrocatalysts in water splitting owing to their abundance and tunable electronic properties. It is very challenging to achieve an efficient overall catalytic performance based on single metal oxide/hydroxide-based electrocatalysts due to low charge mobilities and limited stability. This review is mainly focused on the advanced strategies to synthesize the multicomponent metal oxide/hydroxide-based materials that include nanostructure engineering, heterointerface engineering, single-atom catalysts, and chemical modification. The state of the art of metal oxide/hydroxide-based heterostructures with various architectures is extensively discussed. Finally, this review provides the fundamental challenges and perspectives regarding the potential future direction of multicomponent metal oxide/hydroxide-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Pyrite FeS2 now emerges as a promising anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its low cost and high theoretical capacity. However, the significant volume expansion, low electrical conductivity, and the ambiguous mechanism related to potassium storage severely hinder its development for PIBs anodes. Herein, FeS2 nanostructures are skillfully dispersed on the graphene surface layer by layer (FeS2@C-rGO) to form a sandwich structure by using Fe-based metal organic framework (Fe-MOF) as precursors. The unique structural design can improve the transfer kinetics of K+ and effectively buffer the volume expansion during cycling, thereby enhancing the potassium storage performance. As a result, the FeS2@C-rGO delivers a high capacity of 550 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g. At a high rate of 2 A/g, the capacity can maintain 171 mAh/g even after 500 cycles. Moreover, the electrochemical reaction mechanism and potassium storage behavior are revealed by in-situ X-ray diffractionand density functional theory calculations. This work not only provides a novel insight into the structural design of electrode materials for high-performance PIBs, but also proposes a valuable understanding of the potassium storage mechanism of the FeS2-based anode.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) anode suffers from huge volume expansion which causes poor structural stability in terms of electrode material, solid electrolyte interface, and electrode, limiting its practical application in high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. Rationally designing architectures to optimize the stress distribution of Si/carbon (Si/C) composites has been proven to be effective in enhancing their structural stability and cycling stability, but this remains a big challenge. Here, metal-organic frameworks (ZIF-67)-derived carbon nanotube-reinforced carbon framework is employed as an outer protective layer to encapsulate the inner carbon-coated Si nanoparticles (Si@C@CNTs), which features dual carbon stress-buffering to enhance the structural stability of Si/C composite and prolong their cycling lifetime. Finite element simulation proves the structural advantage of dual carbon stress-buffering through significantly relieving stress concentration when Si lithiation. The outer carbon framework also accelerates the charge transfer efficiency during charging/discharging by the improvement of lithium-ion diffusion and electron transport. As a result, the Si@C@CNTs electrode exhibits excellent long-term lifetime and good rate capability, showing a specific capacity of 680 mAh g-1 even at a high rate of 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. This work provides insight into the design of robust architectures for Si/C composites by stress optimization.

Abstract
The unique properties of self-healing materials hold great potential in battery systems, which can exhibit excellent deformability and return to its original shape after cycling. Herein, a Cu3 BiS3 anode material with self-healing mechanisms is proposed for use in ultrastable potassium-ion battery (PIB) and potassium-ion hybrid capacitor (PIHC). Different from the binder design, Cu3 BiS3 anode can exhibit the dual advantages of phase and morphological reversibility, further remaining original property after potassiation/depotassiation and exhibiting ultrastable cycling performance. The reversible electrochemical reconstruction during the continuous charge/discharge processes is beneficial to maintain the structure and function of the material. Furthermore, the conversion reactions during the charge and discharge process produce two advantages: i) suppressing the shuttle effect due to the formation of the heterostructure interface between Cu (111) and Bi (012); ii) Cu can avoid the agglomeration of Bi nanoparticles (NPs), further improving the electrochemical performance and long-cycle stability of the Cu3 BiS3 electrode. As a result, the Cu3 BiS3 electrode not only exhibits a long cycle life in half cells, but also 2000 cycles and 12000 cycles in PIB and PIHC full cells, respectively.

Three-dimensional Ti 3C 2T x and MnS composites as anode materials for high performance alkalis (Li, Na, K) ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 633:468-479.

Abstract
Exploring capable and universal electrode materials could promote the development of alkalis (Li, Na, K) ion batteries. 2D MXene material is an ideal host for the alkalis (Li, Na, K) ion storage, but its electrochemical performance is limited by serious re-stacking and aggregation problems. Herein, we cleverly combined electrostatic self-assembly with gas-phase vulcanization method to successfully combine Ti3C2Tx-MXene with ultra-long recyclability and high conductivity with MnS, which presents high specific capacity but poor conductivity. The as-prepared 3D hierarchical Ti3C2Tx/MnS composites have an unique sandwich-like constituent units. The tiny MnS nanoparticles are restricted between the Ti3C2Tx layers and play a key role in expanding the Ti3C2Tx interlayer spacing. As a result, the 3D Ti3C2Tx/MnS composites as the anode of LIBs exhibits a superior capacities of 826 and 634 mAh/g after 1000 and 3000 cycles at 0.5 and 1.0 A/g, respectively. More importantly, we reveal the reaction mechanism that the specific capacity first increases and then gradually stabilizes with the increase of charge and discharge cycle times when the as-prepared 3D Ti3C2Tx/MnS was used as the anode of LIBs. In addition, we have also used this material in SIBs and PIBs and achieved remarkable electrochemical capability, with a specific capacity of 107 mAh/g after 2500 cycles at 0.5 A/g or 127 mAh/g after the 2000th cycle at 0.2 A/g, respectively.

Abstract
Nickel-based materials have been extensively deemed as promising anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their superior capacity. Unfortunately, the rational design of electrodes as well as long-term cycling performance remains a thorny challenge due to the huge irreversible volume change during the charge/discharge process. Herein, the heterostructured ultrafine nickel sulfide/nickel phosphide (NiS/Ni2P) nanoparticles closely attached to the interconnected porous carbon sheets (NiS/Ni2P@C) are designed by facile hydrothermal and annealing methods. The NiS/Ni2P heterostructure promotes ion/electron transport, thus accelerating the electrochemical reaction kinetics benefited from the built-in electric field effect. Moreover, the interconnected porous carbon sheets offer rapid electron migration and excellent electronic conductivity, while releasing the volume variance during Na+ intercalation and deintercalation, guaranteeing superior structural stability. As expected, the NiS/Ni2P@C electrode exhibits a high reversible specific capacity of 344 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and great rate stability. Significantly, the implementation of NiS/Ni2P@C//Na3(VPO4)2F3 SIB full cell configuration exhibits relatively satisfactory cycle performance, which suggests its widely practical application. This research will develop an effective method for constructing heterostructured hybrids for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
The fast electrochemical kinetics behavior and long cycling life have been the goals in developing anode materials for potassium ion batteries (PIBs). On account of high electron conductivity and theoretical capacity, transition metal selenides have been deemed as one of the promising anode materials for PIBs. Herein, a systematic structural manipulation strategy, pertaining to the confine of Fe3 Se4 particles by 3D graphene and the dual phosphorus (P) doping to the Fe3 Se4 /3DG (DP-Fe3 Se4 /3DG), has been proposed to fulfill the efficient potassium-ion (K-ion) evolution kinetics and thus boost the K-ion storage performance. The theoretical calculation results demonstrate that the well-designed dual P doping interface can effectively promote K-ion adsorption behavior and provide a low energy barrier for K-ion diffusion. The insertion-conversion and adsorption mechanism for multi potassium storage behavior in DP-Fe3 Se4 /3DG composite has been also deciphered by combining the in situ/ex situ X-ray diffraction and operando Raman spectra evidences. As expected, the DP-Fe3 Se4 /3DG anode exhibits superior rate capability (120.2 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 ) and outstanding cycling performance (157.9 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1 ).

Abstract
Li3VO4 (LVO) is considered as a novel alternative anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high capacity and good safety. However, the inferior electronic conductivity impedes its further application. Here, nanofibers (nLICVO/NC) with In/Ce co-doped Li3VO4 strengthened by nitrogen-modified carbon are prepared. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that In/Ce co-doping can substantially reduce the LVO band gap and achieve orders of magnitude increase (from 2.79 × 10-4 to 1.38 × 10-2 S cm-1) in the electronic conductivity of LVO. Moreover, the carbon-based nanofibers incorporated with 5LICVO nanoparticles can not only buffer the structural strain but also form a good framework for electron transport. This 5LICVO/NC material delivers high reversible capacities of 386.3 and 277.9 mA h g-1 at 0.1 and 5 A g-1, respectively. Furthermore, high discharge capacities of 335 and 259.5 mA h g-1 can be retained after 1200 and 4000 cycles at 0.5 and 1.6 A g-1, respectively (with the corresponding capacity retention of 98.4 and 78.7%, respectively). When the 5LICVO/NC anode assembles with commercial LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (NCM111) into a full cell, a high discharge capacity of 191.9 mA h g-1 can be retained after 600 cycles at 1 A g-1, implying an inspiring potential for practical application in high-efficiency LIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted increasing attention because of their higher safety and nontoxicity compared to traditional LIBs. However, crucial shortcomings impede their practical applications. A narrow electrochemical window restricts the capacity of aqueous LIBs so the ultrahigh concentration electrolyte lithium bistrifluoromethosulfonimide (LiTFSI) is introduced to widen the electrochemical window in this work. With the addition of LiTFSI, the electrochemical window of the created aqueous LIBs is improved to 2 V. Moreover, the material design promotes the high density of aqueous LIBs, in which hollow Co3O4 nanocrystals obtained by the metal organic framework (MOF) template are connected with NiCo2O4 nanorods to form three-dimensional nanohybrids. The formed Co3O4/NiCo2O4 (CN) materials can provide NiCo2O4 channels for electron transfer between hollow Co3O4 which can offer more lithium-ions insertion. These effects work together synergistically to achieve aqueous LIBs with a wide electrochemical window and high energy density (93.07 W h kg-1 at 0.5 C). CN-6/LiMn2O4-based aqueous LIBs with LiTFSI as the electrolyte take into account both environmental friendliness and sustainable energy storage and exhibit great potential for producing novel clean energy storage devices from the concepts of material design and synthesis.
