Abstract
Magnesium-lithium-ion hybrid batteries (MLIBs) have gained significant attention since the combination of a dendrite-free and low-cost magnesium anode with lithium-ion storage cathodes. However, the lack of high-performance cathodes has severely hindered their development, limited by the lower operating voltages of electrolytes. Herein, vanadium molybdenum disulfide nanosheets anchoring on flexible carbon cloth (VMS@CC) are constructed as high-performance cathodes for MLIBs, which inherit the electrochemical properties of high-voltage VS2 and high-capacity MoS2, simultaneously. By adjusting the V and Mo atomic ratio, the VMS@CC cathode for MLIBs delivers a record maximum energy density of 275.5 Wh kg-1 with a high working voltage of 1.07 V at 50 mA g-1. Meanwhile, under the synergistic effects of the conductive carbon cloth matrix, abundant hetero-interfaces and defects, as well as expanded interlayer spacing, the VMS@CC cathode displays superior rate capability and long-term cycling stability. Ex situ analyses demonstrate the VMS nanosheets cathode exhibits a Li+/Mg2+ co-insertion/extraction mechanism in MLIBs, following the in situ insertion of organic species in the hybrid electrolyte during the aging process. The fabricated flexible cathode herein provides a new insight into the construction of high-energy density cathodes for MLIBs.

Abstract
Fluorides are viewed as promising conversion-type Li-ion battery cathodes to meet the desired high energy density. FeOF is a typical member of conversion-type fluorides, but its major drawback is sluggish kinetics upon deep discharge. Herein, a heterostructured FeOF-MXene composite (FeOF-MX) is demonstrated to overcome this limitation. The rationally designed FeOF-MX electrode features a microsphere morphology consisting of closely packed FeOF nanoparticles, providing fast transport pathways for lithium ions while a continuous wrapping network of MXene nanosheets ensures unobstructed electron transport, thus enabling high-rate lithium storage with enhanced pseudocapacitive contribution. In/ex situ characterization techniques and theoretical calculations, both reveal that the lithium storage mechanism in FeOF arises from a hybrid intercalation-conversion process, and strong interfacial interactions between FeOF and MXene promote Li-ion adsorption and migration. Remarkably, through demarcating the conversion-type reaction with a controlled potential window, a symmetric full battery with prelithiated FeOF-MX as both cathode and anode is fabricated, achieving a high energy density of 185.5 Wh kg-1 and impressive capacity retention of 88.9% after 3000 cycles at 1 A g-1. This work showcases an effective route toward high-performance MXene engineered fluoride-based electrodes and provides new insights into constructing symmetric batteries yet with high-energy/power densities.

Abstract
Vanadium nitride (VN) is a promising electrode material for sodium-ion storage due to its multivalent states and high electrical conductivity. However, its electrochemical performance has not been fully explored and the storage mechanism remains to be clarified up to date. Here, the possibility of VN/carbon hybrid nanorods synthesized from a metal-organic framework for ultrafast and durable sodium-ion storage is demonstrated. The VN/carbon electrode delivers a high specific capacity (352 mA h g-1), fast-charging capability (within 47.5 s), and ultralong cycling stability (10 000 cycles) for sodium-ion storage. In situ XRD characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that surface-redox reactions at vanadium sites are the dominant sodium-ion storage mechanism. An energy-power balanced hybrid capacitor device is verified by assembling the VN/carbon anode and active carbon cathode, and it shows a maximum energy density of 103 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 113 W kg-1.

Abstract
The synergistic effect between multicomponent electrode materials often makes them have better lithium storage performance than single-component electrode materials. Therefore, to enhance surface reaction kinetics and encourage electron transfer, using multicomponent anode materials is a useful tactic for achieving high lithium-ion battery performance. In this article, ZnS/ZnO composites were synthesized by solvothermal sulfidation and calcination, with the utilization of metal-organic frameworks acting as sacrificial templates. From the point of material design, both ZnS and ZnO have high theoretical specific capacities, and the synergistic effect of ZnS and ZnO can promote charge transport. From the perspective of electrode engineering, the loose porous carbon skeleton that results from the calcination of metal-organic frameworks can enhance composite material conductivity as well as full electrolyte penetration and the area of contact between the electrolyte and active material, all of which are beneficial to enhancing lithium storage performance. As expected, ZnS/ZnO anode materials displayed remarkably high specific capacities and outstanding performance at different rates. Combining material design and electrode engineering, this paper provides another idea for preparing anode materials with excellent lithium storage properties.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted much attention due to their low production cost and abundant resources. Germanium is a promising alloying-type anode with a high theoretical capacity for PIBs, yet suffering significant volume expansion and sluggish potassium-ion transport kinetics. Herein, a rational strategy is formulated to disperse Ge atoms into transition metal V-S sulfide frameworks to form a loosely packed and metallic GeV4S8 medium. The theoretical prediction shows that GeV4S8 is conducive to the adsorption and diffusion of K+. The V-S frameworks provide fast ion/electron diffusion channels and also help to buffer the volume expansion during K+ insertion. In situ and ex situ characterizations manifest that KGe alloy clusters are constrained and dispersed by potassiated VS2 topological structure during discharging, and revert to the original GeV4S8 after charging. Consequently, as a novel anode for PIBs, GeV4S8 provides a high specific capacity of ≈400 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C, maintaining 160 mAh g-1 even at 12.5 C and ≈80% capacity after 1000 cycles at 5 C, superior to most of the state-of-the-art anode materials. The proposed strategy of combining alloy and intercalation dual-functional units is expected to open up a new way for high-capacity and high-rate anode for PIBs.

Abstract
Constructing quantum dot-scale metal sulfides with defects and strongly coupled with carbon is significant for advanced sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, Se substituted V3S4 quantum dots with anionic defects confined in nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (V3S4-xSex/NC) are fabricated. Introducing element Se into V3S4 crystal expands the interlayer distance of V3S4, and triggers anionic defects, which can facilitate Na+ diffusions and act as active sites for Na+ storage. Meanwhile, the quantum dots tightly encapsulated by conductive carbon framework improve the stability and conductivity of the electrode. Theoretical calculations also unveil that the presence of Se enhances the conductivity and Na+ adsorption ability of V3S4-xSex. These properties contribute to the V3S4-xSex/NC with high specific capacity of 447 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, and prominent rate and cyclic performance with 504 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 10 A g-1. The sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) with V3S4-xSex/NC anode and activated carbon cathode can achieve high energy/power density (maximum 144 Wh kg-1/5960 W kg-1), capacity retention ratio of 71% after 4000 cycles at 2 A g-1. This work not only synthesizes V3S4-xSex/NC, but also provides a promising opportunity for designing quantum dots and utilizing defects to improve the electrochemical properties.

Abstract
Aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs) are considered as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to their large theoretical capacity, high safety, and low cost. However, the uneven deposition, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and corrosion during cycling impede the development of AAIBs, especially under a harsh environment. Here, a hydrated eutectic electrolyte (AATH40) composed of Al(OTf)3, acetonitrile (AN), triethyl phosphate (TEP), and H2O was designed to improve the electrochemical performance of AAIBs in a wide temperature range. The combination of molecular dynamics simulations and spectroscopy analysis reveals that AATH40 has a less-water-solvated structure [Al(AN)2(TEP)(OTf)2(H2O)]3+, which effectively inhibits side reactions, decreases the freezing point, and extends the electrochemical window of the electrolyte. Furthermore, the formation of a solid electrolyte interface, which effectively inhibits HER and corrosion, has been demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction tests, and in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry. Additionally, operando synchrotron Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring reveal a three-electron storage mechanism for the Al//polyaniline full cells. Consequently, AAIBs with this electrolyte exhibit improved cycling stability within the temperature range of -10-50 °C. This present study introduces a promising methodology for designing electrolytes suitable for low-cost, safe, and stable AAIBs over a wide temperature range.

Abstract
Batteries with intercalation-conversion-type electrodes tend to achieve high-capacity storage, but the complicated reaction process often suffers from confusing electrochemical mechanisms. Here, we reinterpreted the essential issue about the potential of the conversion reaction and whether there is an intercalation reaction in a lithium/sodium-ion battery (LIB/SIB) with the FeP anode based on the evolution of the magnetic phase. Especially, the ever-present intercalation process in a large voltage range followed by the conversion reaction with extremely low potential was confirmed in FeP LIB, while it is mainly the conversion reaction for the sodium storage mechanism in FeP SIB. The insufficient conversion reaction profoundly limits the actual capacity to the expectedly respectable value. Accordingly, a graphene oxide modification strategy was proposed to increase the reversible capacity of FeP LIB/SIB by 99% and 132%, respectively. The results facilitate the development of anode materials with a high capacity and low operating potential.

Abstract
As a pioneering battery technology, even though sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are safe, non-flammable, and capable of exhibiting better temperature endurance performance than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), because of lower energy density and larger ionic size, they are not amicable for large-scale applications. Generally, the electrochemical storage performance of a secondary battery can be improved by monitoring the composition and morphology of electrode materials. Because more is the intricacy of a nanostructured composite electrode material, more electrochemical storage applications would be expected. Despite the conventional methods suitable for practical production, the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) would offer enormous opportunities for next-generation battery applications by delicately systematizing the structure and composition at the molecular level to store sodium ions with larger sizes compared with lithium ions. Here, the review comprehensively discusses the progress of nanostructured MOFs and their derivatives applied as negative and positive electrode materials for effective sodium storage in SIBs. The commercialization goal has prompted the development of MOFs and their derivatives as electrode materials, before which the synthesis and mechanism for MOF-based SIB electrodes with improved sodium storage performance are systematically discussed. Finally, the existing challenges, possible perspectives, and future opportunities will be anticipated.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials have shown significant potential for aqueous Zn ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their flexible structure designability and cost advantage. However, sluggish ionic diffusion, high solubility, and low capacities limit their practical application. Here, we designed a covalent organic framework (TA-PTO-COF) generated by covalently bonding tris(4-formylbiphenyl)amine (TA) and 2,7-diaminopyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO-NH2). The highly conjugated skeleton inside enhances its electron delocalization and intermolecular interaction, leading to high electronic conductivity and limited solubility. The open channel within the TA-PTO-COF provides ionic diffusion pathways for fast reaction kinetics. In addition, the abundant active sites (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N and C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) endow the TA-PTO-COF with a large reversible capacity. As a result, the well-designed TA-PTO-COF cathode delivers exceptional capacity (255 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), excellent cycling stability, and a superior rate capacity of 186 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1. Additionally, the co-insertion mechanism of Zn2+/H+ within the TA-PTO-COF cathode is revealed in depth by ex situ spectroscopy. This study presents an effective strategy for developing high-performance organic cathodes for advanced AZIBs.

Abstract
Organic small-molecule compounds have become promising cathode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity, efficient utilization of active sites, low cost, and sustainability. However, severe dissolution and poor electronic conductivity limit their further practical applications. Herein, we have synthesized an insoluble organic small molecule, ferrocenyl-3-(λ1-azazyl) pyrazinyl [2,3-f] [1,10] phenanthrolino-2-amine (FCPD), by grafting ferrocene onto pyrazino[2,3-f] [1,10] phenanthroline-2,3-diamine (PPD). The combination of ferrocene (p-type Fe2+ moiety) and PPD (n-type C[double bond, length as m-dash]N groups) in a bipolar manner endows the target FCPD cathode with an increased theoretical capacity and a wide voltage window. The highly conjugated π-π aromatic skeleton inside enhances FCPD's electron delocalization and promotes strong interaction between FCPD units. Additionally, the mesoporous structure within the FCPD can provide numerous electroactive sites, contact area, and ion diffusion channels. Benefiting from the bipolar feature, aromatic, and mesoporous structure, the FCPD cathode demonstrates a large capacity of 250 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, a long lifespan of 1000 cycles and a high-rate capability of 151 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 along with a wide voltage window (1.2-3.8 V). Additionally, in situ synchrotron FT-IR and ex situ XPS reveal its dual ion storage mechanism in depth. Our findings provide essential insights into exploring the molecular design of advanced organic small molecules.

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
Molybdenum sulfide has been widely investigated as a prospective anode material for Li+/Na+ storage because of its unique layered structure and high theoretical capacity. However, the enormous volume variation and poor conductivity limit the development of molybdenum sulfide. The rational design of a heterogeneous interface is of great importance to improve the structure stability and electrical conductivity of electrode materials. Herein, a high-temperature mixing method is implemented in the hydrothermal process to synthesize the hybrid structure of MoS2/V2O3@carbon-graphene (MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO). The MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO composites exhibit superior Li+/Na+ storage performance due to the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components and the introduction of carbon materials, delivering a prominent reversible capacity of 564 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 600 cycles for lithium-ion batteries and 376.3 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 450 cycles for sodium-ion batteries. Theoretical calculations confirm that the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components can accelerate the reaction kinetics and enhance the charge-ionic transport of molybdenum sulfide. The results illustrate that interfacial engineering may be an effective guide to obtain high-performance electrode materials for Li+/Na+ storage.

Abstract
Exploiting high-rate anode materials with fast K+ diffusion is intriguing for the development of advanced potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) but remains unrealized. Here, heterostructure engineering is proposed to construct the dual transition metal tellurides (CoTe2/ZnTe), which are anchored onto two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. Various theoretical modeling and experimental findings reveal that heterostructure engineering can regulate the electronic structures of CoTe2/ZnTe interfaces, improving K+ diffusion and adsorption. In addition, the different work functions between CoTe2/ZnTe induce a robust built-in electric field at the CoTe2/ZnTe interface, providing a strong driving force to facilitate charge transport. Moreover, the conductive and elastic Ti3C2Tx can effectively promote electrode conductivity and alleviate the volume change of CoTe2/ZnTe heterostructures upon cycling. Owing to these merits, the resulting CoTe2/ZnTe/Ti3C2Tx (CZT) exhibit excellent rate capability (137.0 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1) and cycling stability (175.3 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles at 3.0 A g-1, with a high capacity retention of 89.4%). More impressively, the CZT-based full cells demonstrate high energy density (220.2 Wh kg-1) and power density (837.2 W kg-1). This work provides a general and effective strategy by integrating heterostructure engineering and 2D material nanocompositing for designing advanced high-rate anode materials for next-generation KIBs.

Abstract
With a high specific capacity and low electrochemical potentials, metal anode batteries that use lithium, sodium and zinc metal anodes, have gained great research interest in recent years, as a potential candidate for high-energy-density storage systems. However, the uncontainable dendrite growth during the repeated charging process, deteriorates the battery performance, reduces the battery life and more importantly, raises safety concerns. With their unique properties, two-dimensional (2D) materials, can be used to modify various components in metal batteries, eventually mitigating the dendrite growth, enhancing the cycling stability and rate capability, thus leading to safe and robust metal anodes. In this paper, we review the recent advances of 2D materials and summarize current research progress of using 2D materials in the applications of (i) anode design, (ii) separator engineering, and (iii) electrolyte modifications by guiding metal ion nucleation, increasing ion conductivity, homogenizing the electric field and ion flux, and enhancing the mechanical strength for safe metal anodes. The 2D material modifications provide the ultimate solution for obtaining dendrite-free metal anodes, realizes the high energy storage application, and indicates the importance of 2D materials development. Finally, in-depth understandings of subsequent metal growth are lacking due to research limitations, while more advanced characterizations are welcome for investigating the metal deposition mechanism. The more facile and simplified preparation of 2D materials possess great prospects in high energy density metal anode batteries, and thus fulfils the development of EVs.

Abstract
High energy and power density alkali-ion (i.e., Li+ , Na+ , and K+ ) batteries (AIBs), especially lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), are being ubiquitously used for both large- and small-scale energy storage, and powering electric vehicles and electronics. However, the increasing LIB-triggered fires due to thermal runaways have continued to cause significant injuries and casualties as well as enormous economic losses. For this reason, to date, great efforts have been made to create reliable fire-safe AIBs through advanced materials design, thermal management, and fire safety characterization. In this review, the recent progress is highlighted in the battery design for better thermal stability and electrochemical performance, and state-of-the-art fire safety evaluation methods. The key challenges are also presented associated with the existing materials design, thermal management, and fire safety evaluation of AIBs. Future research opportunities are also proposed for the creation of next-generation fire-safe batteries to ensure their reliability in practical applications.

Redox Electrolytes-Assisting Aqueous Zn-Based Batteries by Pseudocapacitive Multiple Perovskite Fluorides Cathode and Charge Storage Mechanisms.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-based batteries (AZBs) have attracted intensive attention. However, to explore advanced cathode materials with in-depth elucidation of their charge storage mechanisms, improve energy storage capacity, and construct novel cell systems remain a great challenge. Herein, a new pseudocapacitive multiple perovskite fluorides (ABF3 ) cathode is designed, represented by KMF-(IV, V, and VI; M = NiCoMnZn/-Mg/-MgFe), and constructed Zn//KMF-(IV, V, and VI) AZBs and their flexible devices. Ex situ tests have revealed a typical bulk phase conversion mechanism of KMF-VI electrode for charge storage in alkaline media dominated by redox-active Ni/Co/Mn species, with transformation of ABF3 nanocrystals into amorphous metal oxide/(oxy)hydroxide nanosheets. By employing single or bipolar redox electrolyte strategies of 20 mm [Fe(CN)6 ]3- or/and 10 mm SO3 2- /Cu[(NH3 )4 ]2+ acting on KMF-(IV, V, and VI) cathode and Zn anode, the AZBs show an improved energy storage owing to additional capacity contribution of redox electrolytes. The as-designed Zn//polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-KOH-K3 [Fe(CN)6 ]//KMF-(IV, V, and VI) redox gel electrolytes-assisting flexible AZBs (RGE-FAZBs) exhibit remarkable performance under different bending angles because of slight dissolution corrosion of zinc anode compared with liquid electrolytes. Overall, the work demonstrates the novel idea of conversion-type multiple ABF3 cathode for redox electrolytes-assisting AZBs (RE-AZBs) and their flexible systems, showing great significance on electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Disposable polypropylene medical masks are widely used to protect people from injury caused by COVID-19 worldwide. However, disposable medical masks are non-biodegradable materials, and the accumulation of waste masks can pollute the environment and waste resources without a reasonable recycling method. The aims of this study are to transform waste masks into carbon materials and to use them as a dispersant in preparing high-quality 8 mol% Y2O3-doped tetragonal zirconia nanopowders. The waste masks were carbonized to get a carbon source in the first step, then KOH was used to etch the carbon source creating a micropores structure in the carbon material after the carbon-bed heat treatment method. The resulting carbon material is a porous tube structure with a high specific surface area (1220.34 m2/g) and adsorption capacity. The as-obtained porous carbon tubes were applied as a dispersant to produce 8 mol% Y2O3-doped tetragonal zirconia nanopowders, and the resulting nanopowders owned well-dispersed and had the smallest particle size than that prepared by activated carbon as a dispersant. Besides, the sintered 8 mol% Y2O3-doped tetragonal zirconia ceramic possessed high density, which resulted in higher ionic conductivity. These findings suggest that waste face masks can be recycled to prepare high-added-value carbon materials and provide a green and low-cost method to reuse polypropylene waste materials.

Abstract
Layered transition metal chalcogenides (MX, M=Mo, W, Sn, V; X=S, Se, Te) have large ion transport channels and high specific capacity, making them promising for large-sized Na+ /K+ energy-storage technologies. Nevertheless, slow reaction kinetics and huge volume expansion will induce an undesirable electrochemical performance. Numerous efforts have been devoted to designing MX anodes and enhancing their electrochemical performance. Based on the metal-organic assembly strategy, nanostructural engineering, combination with carbon materials, and component regulation can be easily realized, which effectively boost the performance of MX anodes. In this Review, we present a comprehensive overview on the synthesis of MX nanostructure using the metal-organic assembly strategy, which can realize the design of MX nanostructures, based on self-sacrificial templates, host@guest tailored templates, post-modified layer and derivative templates. The preparation routes and structure evolution are mainly discussed. Then, Mo-, W-, Sn-, V-based chalcogenides used for Na+ /K+ energy storage are reviewed, and the relationship between the structure and the electrochemical performance, as well as the energy storage mechanism are emphasized. In addition, existing challenges and future perspectives are also presented.

Abstract
Heterostructure construction with mixed transition metal sulfides has been recognized as a promising strategy to boost the performance of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a carbon-decorated MoS2/CoS heterostructure on carbon cloth (MoS2/CoS@CC) as a free-standing anode for SIBs was synthesized via a facile growth-carbonization strategy. In the composite, the generated built-in electric field at MoS2 and CoS heterointerfaces is beneficial for elevating the electron conductivity, thus expediting the Na-ion transport rate. Moreover, different redox potentials between MoS2 and CoS can effectively mitigate the mechanical strain induced by repeated Na+ de-/intercalation, thus ensuring the structural integrity. In addition, the carbon skeleton derived from the carbonization of glucose can enhance the conductivity of the electrode and maintain the structural integrity. Consequently, the resulting MoS2/CoS@CC electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 605 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 100 cycles, and prominent rate performance (366 mA h g-1 at 8.0 A g-1). Theoretical calculations also confirm that the establishment of a MoS2/CoS heterojunction can powerfully promote the electron conductivity, thereby enhancing the Na-ion diffusion kinetics.

Abstract
Mediator design has stimulated ever-increasing attention to help tackle a surge of detrimental caveats in Li-S realms, mainly pertaining to rampant polysulfide shuttling and sluggish redox kinetics. Nevertheless, universal designing philosophy, despite being highly sought-after, remains still elusive to date. Herein, we present a generic and simple material strategy to allow the target fabrication of advanced mediator toward boosted sulfur electrochemistry. This trick is done by the geometric/electronic comodulation of a prototype VN mediator, where the interplay of its triple-phase interface, favorable catalytic activity, and facile ion diffusivity is conducive to steering bidirectional sulfur redox kinetics. In laboratory tests, the thus-derived Li-S cells manifest impressive cyclic performances with a capacity decay rate of 0.07% per cycle over 500 cycles at 1.0 C. Moreover, under a sulfur loading of 5.0 mg cm-2, the cell could sustain a durable areal capacity of 4.63 mAh cm-2. Our work is anticipated to lay a theory-to-application foundation for rationalizing the design and modulation of reliable polysulfide mediators in working Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The rational structural design of the electrode materials is significant to enhance the electrochemical performance for potassium ion storage, benefiting from the shortened ion diffusion distance, increased conductivity, and pseudo-capacitance promotion. Herein, hydrated vanadium oxide (HVO) nanosheets with enriched oxygen defects are well confined into hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCS), producing Od -VOH@C nanospheres through one-step hydrothermal reaction. Attributed to the restricted growth in the HMCS, the HVO nanosheets are loosely packed, generating abundant interfacial boundaries and large specific areas. As a result, Od -VOH@C nanospheres show increased reaction kinetics and well buffer the volume effects for the K+ storage. Od -VOH@C delivers stable capacities of 138 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 over 10 000 cycles in half-cells attributed to the high pseudo-capacitance contribution. The K+ storage mechanism of insertion and conversion reaction is confirmed by ex situ X-ray diffraction, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. Moreover, the symmetric potassium-ion capacitors of Od -VOH@C//Od -VOH@C deliver a high energy density of 139.6 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 948.3 W kg-1 .

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have inspired the potential for widespread use in energy storage owing to the advantages of abundant resources and low cost. Benefiting from the layered structure, 2D-layered materials enable fast interlayer transport of sodium ions and thus are considered promising candidates as anodes for SIBs. Herein, a strategy of adjusting crystal orientation is proposed via a solvothermal method to improve sodium-ion transport at the edge of the interlayers in 2D-layered materials. By introducing surfactants and templates, the 2D-layered V5 S8 nanosheets are controlled to align the interlayer diffusion channels vertically to the surface, which promotes the fast transport of Na+ at the edge of the interlayers as revealed by experimental methods and ab initio calculations. Benefiting from the aligned crystal orientation and rGO coating, the vertical-V5 S8 @rGO hybrid delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 350.6 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 15 A g-1 . This work provides a strategy for the structural design of 2D-layered anode materials by adjusting crystal orientation, which demonstrates the promise for applications in fast-charging alkaline-ion batteries.

Abstract
Electrochemical ultracapacitors derived from green and sustainable materials could demonstrate superior energy output and an ultra-long cycle life owing to large accessible surface area and obviously shortened ion diffusion pathways. Herein, we have established an efficient strategy to fabricate porous carbon (GLAC) from sustainable gingko leaf precursors by a facile hydrothermal activation of H3PO4 and low-cost pyrolysis. In this way, GLAC with a hierarchically porous structure exhibits extraordinary adaptability toward a high energy/power supercapacitor (∼709 F g-1 at 1 A g-1) in an aqueous electrolyte (1 M KOH). Notably, the GLAC-2-based supercapacitor displays an ultra-high stability of ∼98.24% even after 10 000 cycles (10 A g-1) and an impressive energy density as large as ∼71 W h kg-1 at a power density of 1.2 kW kg-1. The results provide new insights that the facile synthetic procedure coupled with the excellent performance contributes to great potential for future application in the electrochemical energy storage field.

Abstract
It is crucial but challenging to promote sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water splitting via finely tuning the hierarchical nanoarchitecture and electronic structure of the catalyst. To address such issues, herein we present iron-doped Ni3Se4/NiSe2 heterostructure-embedded metal-organic framework-derived mesoporous tubes (Ni-MOF-Fe-Se-400) realized by an interfacial engineering strategy. Due to the hierarchical nanoarchitecture of conductive two-dimensional nanosheet-constructed MOF-derived mesoporous tubes, coupled with fine tuning of the electronic structure via Fe-doping and interactions between Ni3Se4/NiSe2 heterostructures, the Ni-MOF-Fe-Se-400 catalyst delivers superior OER activity: it requires only a low overpotential of 242 mV to achieve 10 mA cm-2 (Ej=10), surpassing the benchmark RuO2 (Ej=10 = 286 mV) and displays exceptional durability in the chronoamperometric i-t test with a small current decay (6.2%) after 72 h. Furthermore, the water splitting system comprises a Ni-MOF-Fe-Se-400 anode and a Pt/C cathode requires a low cell voltage of 1.576 V to achieve Ej=10 with an excellent Faradic efficiency (∼100%), outperforming the RuO2-Pt/C combination. This work presents a novel interfacial engineering strategy to finely adjust the morphology and electronic structure of the non-noble metal-based OER catalyst via a facile fabrication method.

Abstract
Transition metal fluoride (TMF) conversion cathodes, with high energy density, are recognized as promising candidates for next-generation high-energy Li/Na-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs). Unfortunately, the poor electronic conductivity and detrimental active material dissolution of TMFs seriously limit the performance of TMF-LIBs/SIBs. A variety of FeF3-based composites are designed to improve their electrochemical characteristics. However, the storage mechanism of the conversion-type cathode for Li+ and Na+ co-storage is still unclear. Here, the storage mechanism of honeycomb iron (III) fluoride and carbon (FeF3@C) as a general cathode for LIBs/SIBs is analyzed by kinetics. In addition, the FeF3@C cathode shows high electrochemical performance in a full-cell system. The results show that the honeycomb FeF3@C shows excellent long-term cycle stability in LIBs (208.3 mA h g-1 at 1.0 C after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 98.1%). As a cathode of SIBs, the rate performance is unexpectedly stable. The kinetic analysis reveals that the FeF3@C cathode exhibit distinct ion-dependent charge storage mechanisms and exceptional long-durability cyclic performance in the storage of Li+/Na+, benefiting from the synergistic contribution of pseudocapacitive and reversible redox behavior. The work deepens the understanding of the conversion-type cathode in Li+/Na+ storage.

Abstract
Bismuth is a promising anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its suitable redox potential, large theoretical capacity, and superior electronic conductivity. Herein, we report a Bi@C (Bi nanoparticles uniformly embedded in a carbon skeleton) composite anode which delivers a superior rate performance of 244.3 mA h g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 and a reversible capacity of 255.6 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles in an optimized ether-based electrolyte. The outstanding electrochemical performance results from its robust structural design with fast reaction kinetics, which are confirmed by both experimental characterization studies and first-principles calculations. The reversible potassium storage mechanism of the Bi@C composite was also investigated by in situ X-ray diffraction. In addition, the full PIB cell assembled with a Bi@C composite anode and nickel-based Prussian blue analogue cathode exhibits high discharge voltage (3.18 V), remarkable power density (>10 kW kg-1), and an excellent capacity retention of 87.8% after 100 cycles. The results demonstrate that the PIBs with Bi anodes are promising candidates for power-type energy storage devices.

Abstract
The weak van der Waals interactions of the one-dimensional (1D) chainlike VS4 crystal structure can enable fast charge-transfer kinetics in metal ion batteries, but its potential has been rarely exploited in depth. Herein, a thermodynamics-driven morphology manipulation strategy is reported to tailor VS4 nanosheets into 3D hierarchical self-assembled architectures including nanospheres, hollow nanospheres, and nanoflowers. The ultrathin VS4 nanosheets are generated via 2D anisotropic growth by the strong driving force of coordination interaction from ammonium ions under microwave irradiation and then evolve into 3D sheet-assembled configurations by adjusting the thermodynamic factors of temperature and reaction time. The as-synthesized VS4 nanomaterials present good electrochemical performances as the anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. In particular, the hollow VS4 nanospheres show a specific capacity of 1226.7 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 current density after 100 cycles. The hierarchical nanostructures with large specific surface area and structural stability can overcome the difficulty of sodium ions embedding into the bulk material interior and provide more reactive materials at the same material mass loading compared with other morphologies. Both experiment and DFT calculations suggest that VS4 nanosheets reduce reaction kinetic impediment of sodium ion in battery operating. This work demonstrates a way of the morphological design of 2D VS4 nanosheets and application in sodium ion storage.

Abstract
Alkali metal-ion batteries (SIBs and PIBs) and multivalent metal-ion batteries (ZIBs, MIBs, and AIBs), among the next-generation rechargeable batteries, are deemed appealing alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their cost competitiveness. Improving the electrochemical properties of electrode materials can greatly accelerate the pace of development in battery systems to cover the increasing demands of realistic applications. Vanadium tetrasulfide (VS4 ) is known as a prospective electrode material due to its unique one-dimensional atomic chain structure with a large chain spacing, weak interactions between adjacent chains, and high sulfur content. This review summarizes the synthetic strategies and recent advances of VS4 as cathodes/anodes for rechargeable batteries. Meanwhile, we describe the structural characteristics and electrochemical properties of VS4 . And we describe in detail its specific applications in batteries such as SIBs, PIBs, ZIBs, MIBs, and AIBs as well as modification strategies. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of VS4 in the domain of energy research are described.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as an alternative technology because of their merits in abundance and cost. Realizing their real applications, however, remains a formidable challenge. One is that among the limitations of anode materials, the alloy-type candidates tolerate fast capacity fading during cycling. Here, a 3D framework superstructure assembled with carbon nanobelt arrays decorated with a metallic bismuth (Bi) nanospheres coated carbon layer by thermolysis of Bi-based metal-organic framework nanorods is synthesized as an anode material for SIBs. Due to the unique structural superiority, the anode design promotes excellent sodium-storage performance in terms of high capacity, excellent cycling stability, and ultrahigh rate capability up to 80 A g-1 with a capacity of 308.8 mAh g-1 . The unprecedented sodium-storage ability is not only attributed to the unique hybrid architecture, but also to the production of a homogeneous and thin solid electrolyte interface layer and the formation of uniform porous nanostructures during cycling in the ether-based electrolyte. Importantly, deeper understanding of the underlying cause of the performance improvement is illuminated, which is vital to provide the theoretical basis for application of SIBs.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have received widespread interest on account of low redox potential, low price, and high abundance of potassium. However, attributing to the large radius of K+ ions, the structure of electrode material is easily damaged during the potassiation/depotassiation process. Herein, the unique chemical bonding of encapsulating V5.45S8 nanoparticles in N,S codoped multichannel carbon nanofibers (CB-VS@NSCNFs) is designed through electrospinning and in situ vulcanization techniques. The anchoring effect (V-C chemical bonding) of the V5.45S8 nanoparticles with carbon carriers assists in shortening the K+/e- transport path and alleviating the structural changes, which is highlighted to acquire a stable cycle lifespan. Also, codoped multichannel carbon nanofibers provide abundant active sites for pseudocapacitive behavior to achieve fast kinetics. As a synergistic result, when CB-VS@NSCNFs are evaluated as anode material for PIBs, they exhibit a high reversible capacity of 411 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, decent rate property with a capacity of up to 123 mA h g-1 at 6 A g-1, and good cycling stability of 500 cycles at 1 A g-1.

Abstract
Metal-organic frames (MOFs) are regarded as excellent candidates for supercapacitors that have attracted much attention because of their diversity, adjustability and porosity. However, both poor structural stability in aqueous alkaline electrolytes and the low electrical conductivity of MOF materials constrain their practical implementation in supercapacitors. In this study, bimetallic CoNi-MOF were synthesized to enhance the electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity of nickel-based MOF, as well as the electrochemical performance of the CoNi-MOF in multiple alkaline electrolytes was investigated. The CoNi-MOF/active carbon device, as-fabricated with a 1 M KOH electrolyte, possesses a high energy density of 35 W h kg-1with a power density of 1450 W kg-1, exhibiting outstanding cycling stability of 95% over 10,000 cycles. The design of MOF-based electrode materials and the optimization selection of electrolytes pave the way for constructing high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
The large-scale burning of coal has led to increasingly serious SO2 environmental pollution problems. The SO2 adsorption and removal technology based on porous carbons has the advantages of less water consumption, no secondary pollution, recycling of pollutants, and renewable utilization of adsorbents, in contrast to the wet desulfurization process. In this work, we developed a series of N-doped coal-based porous carbons (NCPCs) by calcining a mixture of anthracite, MgO, KOH and carbamide at 800 °C. Among them, the NCPC-2 sample achieves a high N-doped amount of 1.29 at%, and suitable pores with a specific surface area of 1370 m2 g−1 and pore volume of 0.62 cm3 g−1. This N-doped porous carbon exhibits excellent SO2 adsorption capacity as high as 115 mg g−1, which is 3.47 times that of commercial coal-based activated carbon, and 2 times that of NCPC-0 without N-doping. Theoretical calculations show that the active adsorption sites of SO2 are located at the edges and gaps of carbon materials, and surface N doping enhances the adsorption affinity of carbon materials for SO2. In addition, the NCPCs prepared in this work are rich in raw materials and cheap, which meets the needs of industrial production, having excellent SO2 adsorption capacity. The abundant pores of NCPCs provides adsorption sites for SO2. Nitrogen doping enhances the affinity energy of carbon to SO2 but reduces the amount of pores. A moderate N-doped coal-based porous carbon achieves SO2 capacity as high as 115 mg g−1.![]()

Abstract
The development of high-capacity anode materials is crucial for sodium-ion batteries. Alloy-type anode materials have attracted tremendous attention due to their high theoretical capacities. Nonetheless, the realizations of high capacity and remarkable cycling stability are actually hindered by the sluggish reaction kinetics of sodium storage. Here, we report a binary metal sulfides CoS@SnS heterostructure confined in carbon microspheres (denoted as (CoSn)S/C) through a facile hydrothermal reaction combined with annealing treatment. The (CoSn)S/C with micro/nanostructure can shorten ion diffusion length and increase mechanical strength of electrode. Besides, the heterogeneous interface between CoS and SnS can improve the inherent conductivity and favor the rapid transfer of Na+. Benefitting from these advantages, (CoSn)S/C composite exhibits a high reversible capacity of 463 mAh g-1 and superior durability (368 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 1000 cycles). Notably, the assembled Na3V2(PO4)3//(CoSn)S/C full cell delivers a reversible capacity of 386 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, proving that the (CoSn)S/C is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil the mechanism and significance of the constructed CoS@SnS heterostructure for the sodium storage at atomic level. This work provides an important reference for in-depth understanding of reaction kinetics of bimetallic sulfides heterostructure.

Abstract
Potassium ion batteries (KIBs) have attracted great attention recently as a promising large-scale energy storage system by virtue of the bountiful K resource and low standard hydrogen potential of K+/K. However, their development is hindered by the limited capacity and inferior cycling stability resulting from the large size of K+. Here, a unique vanadium sulfide@carbon nanorod is designed and synthesized for high-performance KIBs. Thanks to the hybrid structure, abundant active sites, fast ion diffusion, and capacitive-like electrochemical behavior of the electrode, the anode exhibits a large specific capacity (468 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1), predominant rate performance (205 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1), and impressive cycling stability (171 mA h g-1 for 4000 cycles at 3 A g-1). Furthermore, the constructed KIB full cell demonstrates 229 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and 86% capacity retention over 300 cycles.

Abstract
Polyperylenediimide (PDI) is always subject to its modest conductivities, limited reversible active sites and inferior stability for potassium storage. To address these issues, herein, we firstly propose an organic-inorganic hybrid (PDI@Fe-Sn@N-Ti3 C2 Tx ), where Fe/Sn single atoms are bound to the N-doped MXenes (N-Ti3 C2 Tx ) via the unsaturated Fe/Sn-N3 bonds, and functionalized with PDI via d-π hybridization, forming a high conjugated δ skeleton. The resulted hybrid cathode endowed with enhanced electronic/ionic conductivities, lowered dissociation barriers of multiple redox centers and a stable cathode electrolyte interphase layer displays a 14-electron involved high-rate capacities and long cycle life. Moreover, it shows competitive performance in full cells even under different folding states and low operating temperatures.

Abstract
The specific chemical and physical evolutions of electrode materials under operating conditions should be understood to optimize their electrochemical performances. The in-situ/operando techniques including Raman spectrum, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectrum, and magnetization are powerful tools, which can provide the real-time surficial/interfacial changes of electrodes, the transformation of crystal lattice structures, the adjustment of electronic states and even the influence of magnetic properties under operating conditions. In this Review, the advantages and limitations of these in-situ/operando techniques in investigating the inner energy storage mechanisms of various type electrode materials are analyzed. The representative research results such as the ion dependent storage mechanism, step-alloying processes and space charge storage theory are highlighted. In addition, the challenges and opportunities of in-situ/operando characterizations are proposed as well.

Abstract
Metal sulfides are recognized as potential candidates for the anode materials of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high theoretical capacity. However, the low reaction kinetics of metal sulfides leads to their poor cycle life and rate performance, which limits their practical application in the field of energy storage. In this work, we synthesized a self-assembled carbon-free vanadium sulfide (V3S4) nanosheet via a facile and efficient method. The unique mesoporous nanostructure of V3S4 can not only accelerate the migration of ions/electrons, but also alleviate the volume expansion during the lithium ion insertion/extraction process. When used as the anode material of LIBs, the carbon-free V3S4 electrode exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance with ultra-high charge capacity (1099.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), superior rate capability (668.8 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 and 588.8 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1) and impressive cycling ability (369.6 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 10 A g -1), which is very competitive compared with those of most metal sulfides-based anode materials reported so far. The strategy in this work provides inspiration for the rational design of advanced nanostructured electrode materials for energy storage devices.

Abstract
In spite of the excellent electrochemical performance in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), transition-metal compounds usually show inferior capacity and cyclability in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), implying different reaction schemes between these two types of systems. Herein, coupling operando magnetometry with electrochemical measurement, we peformed a comprehensive investigation on the intrinsic relationship between the ion-embedding mechanisms and the electrochemical properties of the typical FeS2/Na (Li) cells. Operando magnetometry together with ex-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurement reveal that only part of FeS2 is involved in the conversion reaction process, while the unreactive parts form "inactive cores" that lead to the low capacity. Through quantification with Langevin fitting, we further show that the size of the iron grains produced by the conversion reaction are much smaller in SIBs than that in LIBs, which may lead to more serious pulverization, thereby resulting in worse cycle performance. The underlying reason for the above two above phenomena in SIBs is the sluggish kinetics caused by the larger Na-ion radius. Our work paves a new way for the investigation of novel SIB materials with high capacity and long durability.

Abstract
Metal sulfides are attractive anodes for alkali metal ion batteries due to the high theoretical capacity, while their practical implementation is hampered by the inherent poor conductivity and vast volume variation during cycles. Approaching rational designed microstructures with good stability and fast charge transfer is of great importance in response to these issues. Herein, a partial sulfuration strategy for the rational construction of multi-yolk-shell (m-Y-S) structures, from which multiple Fe1- x S nanoparticles are confined within hollow carbon nanosheet with tunable interior void space is reported. As anode materials, the m-Y-S Fe1- x S@C composite can display high capacity and excellent rate capability (134, 365, and 447 mA h g-1 for K+ , Na+ , and Li+ storage at 20 A g-1 ). Remarkably, it exhibits ultra-stable potassium storage up to 1200, 6000, and 20 000 cycles under current densities of 0.1, 0.5, and 1 A g-1 , which is much superior to previous yolk-shell structures and metal-sulfide anodes. Based on comprehensive experimental analysis and theoretical calculations, the exceptional performance of m-Y-S structure can be ascribed to the optimized interior void space for good structure stability, as well as the multiple connection points and conductive carbon layer for superior electron/ion transportation.
