Abstract
The practical application of high-energy density lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries is severely impeded by the notorious cycling stability and safety, which mainly comes from slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at cathodes, causing inferior redox overpotentials and reactive lithium metal in flammable liquid electrolyte. Herein, a bifunctional electrode, a safe gel polymer electrolyte (GPE), and a robust lithium anode are proposed to alleviate above problems. The bifunctional electrode is composed of N-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) and Co4N by in situ chemical vapor deposition self-catalyzed growth on carbon cloth (N-CNTs@Co4N@CC). The self-supporting, binder-free N-CNTs@Co4N@CC electrode has a strong and stable three-dimensional (3D) interconnected conductive structure, which provides interconnectivity between the active sites and the electrode to promote the transfer of electrons. Furthermore, the N-CNT-intertwined Co4N ensures efficient catalytic activity. Hence, the electrode demonstrates improved electrochemical properties even under a large current density (2000 mA g-1) and long cycling operation (250 cycles). Moreover, a highly safe and flexible rechargeable cell using the 3D N-CNTs@Co4N@CC electrode, GPE, and robust lithium anode design has been explored. The open circuit voltage is stable at ∼3.0 V even after 9800 cycles, which proves the mechanical durability of the integrated GPE cell. The stable cable-type Li-air battery was demonstrated to stably drive the light-emitting diodes (LEDs), highlighting the reliability for practical use.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries represent an attractive option for energy storage applications. A deeper understanding of the multistep lithium-sulfur reactions and the electrocatalytic mechanisms are required to develop advanced, high-performance batteries. We have systematically investigated the lithium-sulfur redox processes catalyzed by a cobalt single-atom electrocatalyst (Co-SAs/NC) via operando confocal Raman microscopy and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The real-time observations, based on potentiostatic measurements, indicate that Co-SAs/NC efficiently accelerates the lithium-sulfur reduction/oxidation reactions, which display zero-order kinetics. Under galvanostatic discharge conditions, the typical stepwise mechanism of long-chain and intermediate-chain polysulfides is transformed to a concurrent pathway under electrocatalysis. In addition, operando cobalt K-edge XAS studies elucidate the potential-dependent evolution of cobalt's oxidation state and the formation of cobalt-sulfur bonds. Our work provides fundamental insights into the mechanisms of catalyzed lithium-sulfur reactions via operando methods, enabling a deeper understanding of electrocatalysis and interfacial dynamics in electrical energy storage systems.

Abstract
Due to the unique electronic structure of aluminum ions (Al3+ ) with strong Coulombic interaction and complex bonding situation (simultaneously covalent/ionic bonds), traditional electrodes, mismatching with the bonding orbital of Al3+ , usually exhibit slow kinetic process with inferior rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) performance. Herein, to break the confinement of the interaction mismatch between Al3+ and the electrode, a previously unexplored Se2.9 S5.1 -based cathode with sufficient valence electronic energy overlap with Al3+ and easily accessible structure is potentially developed. Through this new strategy, Se2.9 S5.1 encapsulated in multichannel carbon nanofibers with free-standing structure exhibits a high capacity of 606 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 , high rate-capacity (211 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 ), robust stability (187 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 3,000 cycles), and enhanced flexibility. Simultaneously, in/ex-situ characterizations also reveal the unexplored mechanism of Sex Sy in RABs.

Abstract
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is considered as one of the most promising options because the redox couple has almost the highest theoretical specific energy (2600 Wh kg-1 ) among all solid anode-cathode candidates for rechargeable batteries. The "solid-liquid-solid" mechanism has become a dominating phase transformation process since it was first reported, although this cathode mode suffers from a tough "shuttle" phenomenon due to the dissolution of the soluble intermediate polysulfides generated during the charging-discharging process, which causes rapid loss of energy-bearing material and shortened lifespan. For decades, tremendous efforts have been made to restrict the shuttle effect. Changing sulfur conversion to "solid-solid" mode or "quasi-solid" mode, which successfully exceed the limit of the dissolution of the intermediates, and may address the root of the problem. In this review, the main focus is on the fundamental chemistry of the "solid-solid" and "quasi-solid" phase transformation of the sulfur cathode. First, the strategies of sulfur immobilization in "solid-liquid-solid" multi-phase conversions as well as the pivotal influence factors for the electrochemical conversion process are briefly introduced. Then, the different routes are summarized to realize the "solid-solid" and "quasi-solid" redox mechanisms. Finally, a perspectives on building high-energy-density Li-S batteries are provided.

Abstract
Selenium disulfide that combines the advantages of S and Se elements is a new material for Li-chalcogen battery cathodes. However, like Li-S batteries, the shuttle effect seriously restricts the performance of Li-SeS2 batteries. In this work, we have synthesized a kind of nitrogen-rich lithophilic covalent organic framework (ATG-DMTZ-COF) as a separator coating material for Li-SeS2 batteries. Here, the N atom in the ATG-DMTZ-COF channel preferentially interacts with the lithium ion in the electrolyte to form N…Li bond, which significantly improves the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions during the charge and discharge. More importantly, we prove that the pore size of ATG-DMTZ-COF will decrease sharply because there is a large amount of TFSI- in the channel, and finally the shuttling of polysulfide and polyselenide is suppressed by the sieving effect. As a consequence, Li-SeS2 batteries using the ATG-DMTZ-COF separator coating show excellent performances with an initial discharge capacity of 1028.7 mAh g−1 at 0.5 C under a SeS2 loading of 2.38 mg cm−2. Furthermore, when the current density is 1C, the specific capacity of 404.7 mAh g−1 can be maintained after 700 cycles.

Abstract
We design a vanadium nitride (VN) modified porous carbon nanofiber film as the host to load SeS2 as the cathode (SeS2@VN/CNFs) for improving Li storage capacity. The conductive porous carbon nanofibers can accommodate active SeS2 and release the volume change. The introduced VN nanoparticles can chemically anchor the intermediate species and improve the utilization of SeS2. As a result, the SeS2@VN/CNFs cathode displays a superior electrochemical performance including a high reversible capacity of 806 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and good long-term cycling stability in Li-SeS2 batteries.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction reaction (E-CO2RR) to formate with high selectivity driven by renewable electricity is one of the most promising routes to carbon neutrality. Herein, we developed a novel indium (In)-doped bismuth subcarbonate (BOC) nanosheets (BOC-In-x NSs) through transformation of In-doped bismuth (Bi) nanoblocks (Bi-In-x NBs). The BOC-In-0.1 NSs achieved a maximum Faraday efficiency of formate (FEformate) nearly 100% with high stability (22 h) and an appreciable average FEformate of 93.5% in a wide potential window of 450 mV. The experimental and theoretical calculations indicate that the incorporation of In into BOC nanosheets enhanced the adsorption of CO2 and the intermediates during the process of E-CO2RR, and reduced the energy barrier for the formation of formate.

Abstract
Herein, a facile and efficient synthesis of microstructured Co3 O4 for both supercapacitor and water-splitting applications is reported. Metal cations (Fe3+ , Cu2+ ) serve as structure-directing agents regulating the structure of Co compounds, which are subsequently annealed to yield Co3 O4 . Detailed characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the in situ Cl-doping introduces oxygen defects and provides abundant electroactive sites, and narrows the bandgap, which enhances the electron excitation of the as-formed Co3 O4 . The as-prepared Cl-doped Co3 O4 hierarchical nanospheres (Cl-Co3 O4 -h) display a high specific capacitance of 1629 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 as an electrode for supercapacitors, with excellent rate capability and cyclability. The Cl-Co3 O4 -h//activated carbon (AC) asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) electrode achieves a specific capacitance of 237 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 , with an energy density of 74 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 807 W kg-1 and even maintains 47 Wh kg-1 at the higher-power density of 24.2 kW kg-1 . An integrated electrolyzer for water-splitting with Cl-Co3 O4 -h as both cathode and anode can be driven by Cl-Co3 O4 -h//AC ASC. The electrolyzer provides a high current density of 35 mA cm-2 at a cell voltage of 1.6 V, with good current density retention over 50 h.

Abstract
The safety problem caused by lithium dendrite of lithium metal anode and the rapid capacity decay problem caused by the shuttle effect of polysulfide and polyselenide during the charge and discharge of selenium disulfide cathode limit the application of lithium selenium disulfide batteries significantly. Here, a fibrous ATFG-COF, containing rich carbonyl and amino functional groups, was applied as the separator coating layer. Density Functional Theory (DFT) theoretical calculations and experimental results showed that the abundant carbonyl group in ATFG-COF had a positive effect on lithium ions, and the amino group formed hydrogen bonds with bis ((trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl) azanide anionics (TFSI−), which fixed TFSI− in the channel, so as to improve the transfer number of lithium ions and narrow the channels. Therefore, ATFG-COF fiber coating can not only form a rapid and uniform lithium-ion flow on the lithium anode to inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites, but also effectively screen polysulfide and polyselenide ions to suppress the shuttle effect. The Li-SeS2 cell with ATFG-COF/polypropylene (ATFG-COF/PP) separator exhibited good cycle stability at 0.5 C and maintained a specific capacity of 509 mAh/g after 200 cycles. Our work provides insights into the design of dual-function separators with high-performance batteries.

Abstract
Regeneration of Fe(II) is a key issue for heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) using iron-based catalysts. Herein, a hybrid catalyst was developed from α-Fe2O3 and SeS2 to enhance the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycling in both hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system and persulfate (PS) system. The regeneration of Fe(II) was evidenced by the increased Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio in the used catalyst (205.8% in the H2O2 system or 125.4% in the PS system), compared to 68.4% in the fresh hybrid catalyst Fe/Se-3. Methyl orange was used as a model pollutant to evaluate the degradation performance of the hybrid catalyst. Owing to the promotion of Fe(II) regeneration, Fe/Se-3 achieved a pollutant removal efficiency of 100.0% in 12 min in both systems, significantly higher than that with pure α-Fe2O3 (33.9 ± 3.6% in the H2O2 system or 30.7 ± 2.8% in the PS system). The dominant active species were identified as hydroxyl radicals in the H2O2 system and sulfate radicals in the PS system. In the proposed mechanism, soluble and surface-bound Fe species are provided by α-Fe2O3 to activate H2O2 or PS to radicals, and SeS2 participates in the reactions via Se(IV) reducing Fe(III) to Fe(II) and S atoms being released through protonation to expose more active Se sites.

Abstract
Selenium sulfide as a new alternative cathode material can effectively address the inferior electronic conductivity of sulfur, which is the main cause for poor electrochemical reactivity of conventional lithium-sulfur batteries (Li-S batteries). Therefore, in this work, hollow carbon spheres loaded with NiSe2 nanoplates were prepared as SeS2 hosts for Li-SeS2 batteries. The unique micro-mesoporous hollow carbon spheres not only provide channels for the diffusion of SeS2, but also afford spaces for alleviating the volume expansion of the active substance. Besides, the external polar NiSe2 nanoplates increase active sites for capturing polysulfides or polyselenides during the charge/discharge process. Meanwhile, the excellent electronic conductivity of NiSe2 can accelerate the catalytic reaction on the surface, thus reducing the loss of soluble intermediate products and finally suppressing the "shuttle effect". These extraordinary features of the as-proposed cathode offer many superiorities in electrochemical performances in terms of a high initial discharge capacity of 1139 mA h g-1 at a current rate of 0.1C and an excellent cycling life of up to 1000 cycles at 1C.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been regarded as a promising next-generation energy storage technology for their ultrahigh theoretical energy density compared with those of the traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, the practical applications of Li-S batteries are still blocked by notorious problems such as the shuttle effect and the uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites. Recently, the rapid development of electrospinning technology provides reliable methods in preparing flexible nanofibers materials and is widely applied to Li-S batteries serving as hosts, interlayers, and separators, which are considered as a promising strategy to achieve high energy density flexible Li-S batteries. In this review, a fundamental introduction of electrospinning technology and multifarious electrospinning-based nanofibers used in flexible Li-S batteries are presented. More importantly, crucial parameters of specific capacity, electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio, sulfur loading, and cathode tap density are emphasized based on the proposed mathematic model, in which the electrospinning-based nanofibers are used as important components in Li-S batteries to achieve high gravimetric (WG ) and volume (WV ) energy density of 500 Wh kg-1 and 700 Wh L-1 , respectively. These systematic summaries not only provide the principles in nanofiber-based electrode design but also propose enlightening directions for the commercialized Li-S batteries with high WG and WV .

Abstract
Selenium-based materials are considered as desirable candidates for potassium-ion and sodium-ion storage. Herein, an in situ fabrication method is developed to prepare an integrated cuprous selenide electrode by means of directly chemical selenization of the copper current collector with commercial selenium powder. Interestingly, only the electrolyte of 1 m potassium hexafluorophosphate dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane with higher highest occupied molecular orbital energy and lower desolvation energy facilitates the formation of polyselenide intermediates and the further selenization of the copper current collector. Benefiting from the unique thin-film-like nanosheet morphology and the robust structural stability of the integrated electrode, the volume change and the loss of selenide species could be effectively restrained. Therefore, high performance is achieved in both potassium-ion batteries (462 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 for 300 cycles) and sodium-ion batteries (775 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 for 4000 cycles). The facile fabrication strategy paves a new direction for the design and preparation of high-performance electrodes.

Abstract
Owing to the low cost, high energy density, and high theoretical specific capacity, lithium-sulfur batteries have been deemed as a potential choice for future energy storage devices. However, they also have suffered from several scientific and technical issues including low conductivity, polysulfides migration, and volume changes. In this study, CoS2-TiO2@carbon core-shell fibers were fabricated through combination of coaxial electrospinning and selective vulcanization method. The core-shell fibers are able to efficiently host sulfur, confine polysulfides, and accelerate intermediates conversion. This electrode delivers an initial specific capacity of 1181.1 mAh g-1 and a high capacity of 736.5 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles with high coulombic efficiency over 99.5% (capacity decay of 0.06% per cycle). This strategy of isolating interactant and selective vulcanization provides new ideas for effectively constructing heterostructure materials for lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract
Selenium-sulfur solid solutions (Se1-x S x ) are considered to be a new class of promising cathodic materials for high-performance rechargeable lithium batteries owing to their superior electric conductivity than S and higher theoretical specific capacity than Se. In this work, high-performance Li-Se1-x S x batteries employed freestanding cathodes by encapsulating Se1-x S x in a N-doped carbon framework with three-dimensional (3D) interconnected porous structure (NC@SWCNTs) are proposed. Se1-x S x is uniformly dispersed in 3D porous carbon matrix with the assistance of supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) technique. Impressively, NC@SWCNTs host not only provides spatial confinement for Se1-x S x and efficient physical/chemical adsorption of intermediates, but also offers a highly conductive framework to facilitate ion/electron transport. More importantly, the Se/S ratio of Se1-x S x plays an important role on the electrochemical performance of Li- Se1-x S x batteries. Benefiting from the rationally designed structure and chemical composition, NC@SWCNTs@Se0.2S0.8 cathode exhibits excellent cyclic stability (632 mA h g-1 at 200 cycle at 0.2 A g-1) and superior rate capability (415 mA h g-1 at 2.0 A g-1) in carbonate-based electrolyte. This novel NC@SWCNTs@Se0.2S0.8 cathode not only introduces a new strategy to design high-performance cathodes, but also provides a new approach to fabricate freestanding cathodes towards practical applications of high-energy-density rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
SeS2 has become a promising cathode material owing to its enhanced electrical conductivity over sulfur and higher theoretical specific capacity than selenium; however, the working Li-SeS2 batteries have to face the practical challenges from the severe shuttling of soluble dual intermediates of polysulfide and polyselenide, especially in high-SeS2-loading cathodes. Herein, a natural organic polymer, Nicandra physaloides pectin (NPP), is proposed to serve as an effective polysulfide/polyselenide captor to address the shuttling issues. Informed by theoretical calculations, NPP is competent to provide a Lewis base-based strong binding interaction with polysulfides/polyselenides via forming lithium bonds, and it can be homogeneously deposited onto a three-dimensional double-carbon conductive scaffold to finally constitute a polysulfide/polyselenide-immobilizing interlayer. Operando spectroscopy analysis validates the enhanced polysulfide/polyselenide trapping and high conversion efficiency on the constructed interlayer, hence bestowing the Li-SeS2 cells with ultrahigh rate capability (448 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1), durable cycling lifespan (≈ 0.037% capacity attenuation rate per cycle), and high areal capacity (> 6.5 mAh cm-2) at high SeS2 loading of 15.4 mg cm-2. Importantly, pouch cells assembled with this interlayer exhibit excellent flexibility, decent rate capability with relatively low electrolyte-to-capacity ratio, and stable cycling life even under a low electrolyte condition, promising a low-cost, viable design protocol toward practical Li-SeS2 batteries.

Abstract
Li-chalcogen batteries, especially the Li-S batteries (LSBs), have received paramount interests as next generation energy storage techniques because of their high theoretical energy densities. However, the associated challenges need to be overcome prior to their commercialization. Elemental selenium, another chalcogen member, would be an attractive alternative to sulfur owing to its higher electronic conductivity, comparable capacity density, and moreover, excellent compatibility with carbonate electrolytes. Unlike LSBs, the research and development of Li-Se batteries (LSeBs) have garnered burgeoning attention but are still in their infant stage, where a comprehensive yet in-depth overview is highly imperative to guide future research. Herein, a critical review of LSeBs, in terms of the underlying mechanisms, cathode design, blocking layer engineering, and emerging solid-state electrolytes is provided. First, the electrolyte-dependent electrochemistry of LSeBs is discussed. Second, the advances in Se-based cathodes are comprehensively summarized, especially highlighting the state-of-the-art Sex Sy cathodes, and mainly focusing on their structures, compositions, and synthetic strategies. Third, the versatile separators/interlayers optimization and interface regulation are outlined, with a particular focus on the emerging solid-state electrolytes for advanced LSeBs. Last, the remaining challenges and research orientations in this booming field are proposed, which are expected to motivate more insightful works.

Abstract
With many apparent advantages including high surface area, tunable pore sizes and topologies, and diverse periodic organic-inorganic ingredients, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as versatile precursors or sacrificial templates for preparing functional materials as advanced electrodes or high-efficiency catalysts for electrochemical energy storage and conversion (EESC). In this Mini Review, we first briefly summarize the material design strategies to show the rich possibilities of the chemical compositions and physical structures of MOFs derivatives. We next highlight the latest advances focusing on the composition/structure/performance relationship and discuss their practical applications in various EESC systems, such as supercapacitors, rechargeable batteries, fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and carbon dioxide/nitrogen reduction reactions. Finally, we provide some of our own insights into the major challenges and prospective solutions of MOF-derived functional materials for EESC, hoping to shed some light on the future development of this highly exciting field.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold the promise of the next generation energy storage system beyond state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries. Despite the attractive gravimetric energy density (WG ), the volumetric energy density (WV ) still remains a great challenge for the practical application, based on the primary requirement of Small and Light for Li-S batteries. This review highlights the importance of cathode density, sulfur content, electroactivity in achieving high energy densities. In the first part, key factors are analyzed in a model on negative/positive ratio, cathode design, and electrolyte/sulfur ratio, orientated toward energy densities of 700 Wh L-1 /500 Wh kg-1 . Subsequently, recent progresses on enhancing WV for coin/pouch cells are reviewed primarily on cathode. Especially, the "Three High One Low" (THOL) (high sulfur fraction, high sulfur loading, high density host, and low electrolyte quantity) is proposed as a feasible strategy for achieving high WV , taking high WG into consideration simultaneously. Meanwhile, host materials with desired catalytic activity should be paid more attention for fabricating high performance cathode. In the last part, key engineering technologies on manipulating the cathode porosity/density are discussed, including calendering and dry electrode coating. Finally, a future outlook is provided for enhancing both WV and WG of the Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Sulfur (S) and selenium (Se) have been considered as promising high capacity cathode materials for rechargeable batteries. They have differences in their physical properties (e.g., electronic conductivity) but the same number of electrons in their outermost shells, which leads to similarity in their electrochemical behavior in batteries. In recent years, some efforts have been taken to combine them in electrodes in the hope of improved battery performance. The S-Se bonds of these electrode materials lead to unusual properties and intriguing electrochemical behavior, which have attracted increasing interest. In this Minireview, electrode materials containing S-Se bonds are summarized, including inorganic Sx Sey solid solutions, organic compounds, and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Our understanding in these materials is still premature, but they have shown unique properties to be electrode materials. We hope this Minireview could provide a new insight into the design, synthesis, and understanding of these materials, which could enable high energy density rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Although Li-ion batteries have emerged as the battery of choice for electric vehicles and large-scale smart grids, significant research efforts are devoted to identifying materials that offer higher energy density, longer cycle life, lower cost, and/or improved safety compared to those of conventional Li-ion batteries based on intercalation electrodes. By moving beyond intercalation chemistry, gravimetric capacities that are 2-5 times higher than that of conventional intercalation materials (e.g., LiCoO2 and graphite) can be achieved. The transition to higher-capacity electrode materials in commercial applications is complicated by several factors. This Review highlights the developments of electrode materials and characterization tools for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, with a focus on the structural and electrochemical degradation mechanisms that plague these systems.

Abstract
A flexible free-standing S@lithium-ion-intercalated V2C MXene/rGO-CNT (S@V2C-Li/C) electrode was rationally prepared to address the neglected issue of Li-ion transport for high-rate lithium-sulfur batteries. In this unique nanoarchitecture, rGO and CNTs serve as a flexible skeleton with high conductivity, whereas V2C-Li MXene plays a vital role in both the chemical absorption of polysulfides and the enhanced transport of lithium ions due to its high polarity and enlarged interlayer distance. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of strong chemical absorption capability and fast lithium-ion migration and exchange, the as-prepared S@V2C-Li/C electrode demonstrates long-term cycling stability with small capacity decay rates of 0.053 and 0.051% per cycle over 500 cycles at 1 and 2 C, respectively.

Abstract
Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries can offer great opportunities for the next-generation energy storage systems with tremendous energy density. However, challenges still exist in practical Li-S batteries including low sulfur utilization, and poor cycling stability and rate capability. Herein, we propose a novel hybrid catalyst structure by in situ implanting nanocrystal CoS2 in three-dimensional honeycomb-like hierarchical porous graphitic carbon (HPGC) for high-performance Li-S batteries. A unique synergistic absorption-catalysis-functional effect is demonstrated by comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis: strong physical and chemical co-absorption effects are originated from the large quantity of microporous HPGC and the polar surface of metallic CoS2; the introduced nanocrystal CoS2 with a large specific area can impose an exceptional catalytic effect on the liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, and solid-solid phase redox reactions in Li-S batteries; the reaction dynamics are further guaranteed by the multifunctional properties of the HPGC backbone, including the capabilities in polysulfide sustention, reaction product transportation, electrolyte compensation, and efficiency in assisting diverse electrochemical reaction dynamics. In this way, our results not only develop a novel CoS2@HPGC structure, but also provide fundamental understanding on the catalytic dynamics during each reaction process. Moreover, we further propose the necessity and philosophy of the rational design of catalysts' special structure, which can fulfill the functional dynamics requirements of Li-S batteries, and can be promoted to other Li-S-related cathode design and composite catalytic structure design.

Abstract
Sb-based nanocomposites are attractive anode materials for batteries as they exhibit large theoretical capacity and impressive working voltage. However, tardy potassium ion diffusion characteristics, unstable Sb/electrolyte interphase, and huge volume variation pose a challenge, hindering their practical use for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Now, a simple robust strategy is presented for uniformly impregnating ultrasmall Sb nanocrystals within carbon nanofibers containing an array of hollow nanochannels (denoted u-Sb@CNFs), resolving the issues above and yielding high-performance PIBs. u-Sb@CNFs can be directly employed as an anode, thereby dispensing with the need for conductive additives and binders. Such a judiciously crafted u-Sb@CNF-based anode renders a set of intriguing electrochemical properties, representing large charge capacity, unprecedented cycling stability, and outstanding rate performance. A reversible capacity of 225 mAh g-1 is retained after 2000 cycles at 1 A g-1 .

Abstract
Alkali metal-sulfur/selenium batteries have attracted much attention because they offer promising high energy density. However, the shuttle effect of the polysulfide dissolutions, poor electrical conductivity, and relatively large volume variations greatly hinder their potential applications. Herein, a novel organic carbon/selenium sulfide (OC/SeS2) composite has been prepared by a one-step in situ method by heating the mixture of commercial polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with selenium sulfide powder in vacuum. The carbonized PAN matrix with an N-doped carbon ring structure could effectively confine SeS2 in the form of small molecules and regulate its electronic structure. The superior sodium/potassium storage performance of the OC/SeS2 composite electrodes stems from their rational chemical structure design, including high electrical conductivity of the N-doped organic carbon network and chemical binding with SeS2 molecules. As a result, the OC/SeS2 cathode delivers a reversible capacity of 416 mAh g-1 after 700 cycles for sodium-ion batteries and 216 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles for potassium-ion batteries at 0.5 A g-1, respectively. These findings could open a new window to develop selenium sulfide cathode for metal-sulfur/selenium batteries.

Abstract
K-SeS2 batteries could provide a low-cost and high energy density energy storage system, because the earth-abundant element potassium (K) shows a low reduction potential and a high gravimetric capacity. But the K-SeS2 battery has never been reported because of the lack of high-performance electrode materials. Herein, we design an advanced K-SeS2 battery by encapsulation of SeS2 in the nitrogen-doped free-standing porous carbon matrix (SeS2@NCNFs). The self-supported SeS2@NCNFs electrode achieves a high reversible capacity of 417 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles with 85% capacity retention at 0.5 Ag1- with nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency. The nanosized SeS2 nanoparticles are encapsulated in the carbon matrix, which minimizes the volume expansion during cycling and shortens the ion transport pathways, thus enhancing the rate capability. The interconnected porous carbon nanofiber structure could improve the flexibility and offer a continuous pathway for rapid ionic/electronic transport. The DFT calculations confirm that high content N-doping (11.2 at. %) can enhance the chemical affinity between the discharge product and the N-doped carbon. The pyrrolic and pyridinic N-doping lead to stronger adsorption than that of the graphitic N-doping. This proposed design holds great promise for practical application of high energy density K-SeS2 batteries.

Abstract
In this work, MoS2-based hybrid tubular nanostructures are facilely synthesized via a self-assembly-assisted process and evaluated as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs). By simply mixing the reactants under ambient conditions, (NH4)2MoS4/polydopamine (PDA) hybrid nanospheres are formed. The protonated dopamine is linked to tetrahedral [MoS4]2- via weak N-H···S and O-H···S interactions, causing the PDA nanospheres merging together and forming nanorods under stirring-induced shear force. Moreover, the oxidative polymerization of dopamine proceeds on the surface of the nanorods, whereas it is prohibited inside the nanorods owing to lack of oxygen, leading to outward diffusion of dopamine and hence cavitation. After annealing, the tubular morphology is perfectly retained, while ultrafine MoS2 monolayers are formed due to the confinement of the framework. Benefiting from these unique structural features, the MoS2/C hybrid nanotubes possess abundant active sites and high surface area, as well as boost electronic and ionic transport, remarkably enhancing their electrocatalytic activities. The onset and half-wave potentials are 0.91 and 0.82 V, respectively, for ORR, close to those of Pt/C. Moreover, low onset potential and small Tafel slope are also observed for HER, demonstrating the potential of the hybrid nanotubes as a promising non-noble metal bifunctional electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Rechargeable aprotic lithium (Li)-O2 batteries with high theoretical energy densities are regarded as promising next-generation energy storage devices and have attracted considerable interest recently. However, these batteries still suffer from many critical issues, such as low capacity, poor cycle life, and low round-trip efficiency, rendering the practical application of these batteries rather sluggish. Cathode catalysts with high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and evolution reaction activities are of particular importance for addressing these issues and consequently promoting the application of Li-O2 batteries. Thus, the rational design and preparation of the catalysts with high ORR activity, good electronic conductivity, and decent chemical/electrochemical stability are still challenging. In this Review, the strategies are outlined including the rational selection of catalytic species, the introduction of a 3D porous structure, the formation of functional composites, and the heteroatom doping which succeeded in the design of high-performance cathode catalysts for stable Li-O2 batteries. Perspectives on enhancing the overall electrochemical performance of Li-O2 batteries based on the optimization of the properties and reliability of each part of the battery are also made. This Review sheds some new light on the design of highly active cathode catalysts and the development of high-performance lithium-O2 batteries.
