Abstract
Fast-charging technology is set to revolutionize the field of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), driving the creation of next-generation devices with the ability to get charged within a short span of time. From the anode perspective, it is of paramount importance to design materials that can withstand continuous Li+ insertion/deinsertion at high charging rates and still remain unaffected by factors such as mechanical fractures, electrolyte side reactions, polarisation, lithium plating and heat generation. Herein, the recent advancements in the design of amorphous materials as anodes for fast-charging LIBs have been discussed. While the development of this particular class of materials for application in high-rate anodes has been paid limited attention in recent literature, it holds immense promise for improving the fast-charging capabilities. This concept summarizes the recent strides made in this emerging field, outlining the strategies employed in the design of amorphous anodes and emphasizing the crucial role played by the amorphous nature in achieving fast-charging performance. Further, the successive initiatives that can be undertaken to drive the progress of amorphous materials for fast charging LIBs have also been detailed, which could potentially improve their commercial viability.

SMALL METHODS 2024; 8:e2301294.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon-coated ZnPS3 is prepared via direct phosphosulfurization and high energy mechanical milling (HEMM) with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and first introduced as an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The HEMM process with MWCNTs reduces the particle size of as-synthesized ZnPS3 bulk to 100-500 nm and yields the ≈5 nm thick graphitic carbon coated ZnPS3 nanoparticles, which are the nanocomposites of 5 nm sized nanocrystallites embedded in the amorphous matrix. The ZnPS3 electrode undergoes the combined conversion and alloying reactions with Li and Na ions and exhibits high initial discharge and charge capacities in both LIBs and SIBs. The graphitic carbon-coated ZnPS3 electrode exhibits excellent high-rate capability and long-term cyclability. The superior electrochemical properties can be attributed to high electrical conductivity, high Li ion mobility, and high reversibility and structural stability derived from the graphitic carbon-coated nanoparticles. This study demonstrates that the novel graphitic carbon-coated ZnPS3 is a promising anode material for both LIBs and SIBs and the graphitic carbon coating methodology by HEMM is expected to apply to the various metal oxides, sulfides, and phosphides.

Boosting Solid-State Reconversion Reactivity to Mitigate Lithium Trapping for High Initial Coulombic Efficiency. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2304900. [PMID: 37549425 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202304900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/09/2023]
Abstract
An initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) higher than 90% is crucial for industrial lithium-ion batteries, but numerous electrode materials are not standards compliant. Lithium trapping, due to i) incomplete solid-state reaction of Li+ generation and ii) sluggish Li+ diffusion, undermines ICE in high-capacity electrodes (e.g., conversion-type electrodes). Current approaches mitigating lithium trapping emphasize ii) nanoscaling (<50 nm) to minimize Li+ diffusion distance, followed by severe solid electrolyte interphase formation and inferior volumetric energy density. Herein, this work accentuates i) instead, to demonstrate that the lithium trapping can be mitigated by boosting the solid-state reaction reactivity. As a proof-of-concept, ternary LiFeO2 anodes, whose discharged products contain highly reactive vacancy-rich Fe nanoparticles, can alleviate lithium trapping and enable a remarkable average ICE of ≈92.77%, much higher than binary Fe2 O3 anodes (≈75.19%). Synchrotron-based techniques and theoretical simulations reveal that the solid-state reconversion reaction for Li+ generation between Fe and Li2 O can be effectively promoted by the Fe-vacancy-rich local chemical environment. The superior ICE is further demonstrated by assembled pouch cells. This work proposes a novel paradigm of regulating intrinsic solid-state chemistry to ameliorate electrochemical performance and facilitate industrial applications of various advanced electrode materials.

Abstract
High-entropy oxides (HEOs) can be well suited for lithium-ion battery anodes because of their multi-principal synergistic effect and good stability. The appropriate selection and combination of elements play a crucial role in designing conversion-type anode materials with outstanding electrochemical performance. In this study, we have successfully built a single-phase spinel-structured HEO material of (Mn0.23Fe0.23Co0.22Cr0.19Zn0.13)3O4 (HEO-MFCCZ). When the HEO-MFCCZ materials transform into a coexisting state of amorphous and nanocrystalline structures during the cycling process, the inert Zn element can initiate a pegging effect, causing enhanced stability. The transition also introduces many defect sites, effectively reducing the potential barrier for ion transport and accelerating ion transport. The increased electronic and ionic conductivities and pseudocapacitive contribution significantly enhance the rate performance. As a result, a unique and practical approach is provided for developing anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Chem Sci 2023; 14:12219-12230. [PMID: 37969610 PMCID: PMC10631223 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc04377k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) plays a critical role in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its important influence on electrochemical performance, such as cycle stability, coulombic efficiency, etc. Although LiOH has been recognized as a key component of the SEI, its influence on the SEI and electrochemical performance has not been well clarified due to the difficulty in precisely controlling the LiOH content and characterize the detailed interface reactions. Here, a gradual change of LiOH content is realized by different reduction schemes among Co(OH)2, CoOOH and CoO. With reduced Co nanoparticles as magnetic "probes", SEI characterization is achieved by operando magnetometry. By combining comprehensive characterization and theoretical calculations, it is verified that LiOH leads to a composition transformation from lithium ethylene di-carbonate (LEDC) to lithium ethylene mono-carbonate (LEMC) in the SEI and ultimately results in capacity decay. This work unfolds the detailed SEI reaction scenario involving LiOH, provides new insights into the influence of SEI composition, and has value for the co-development between the electrode materials and electrolyte.

Abstract
Conversion-alloying anodes have garnered escalating attention with high theoretical capacity, however, they are seriously hindered by large volume distortion and capacity fading. To counter, structural modification needs more exploration. Herein, advantageous structure and high-performance are realized in new amorphous PbSb2 O6 (PSO-a) nanosphere via facile instantaneous precipitation induced amorphization; conversion-alloying mechanism endows it with prominent lithium-storage capability; nanostructure can shorten ion-transfer distance and accommodate volume change outside the bulk of PSO-a; and loosely-stacked isotropic amorphous structure can enhance kinetics both at electrode/electrolyte interfaces and in the bulk. Volume change is synergistically stabilized from within to outside the bulk, leading to accelerated capacity and cycling. As expected, when employed in half-cells with 1 m LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate/dimethyl carbonate/fluoroethylene carbonate (3:3:3:1 by mass) as electrolyte, glass microfiber filter as separator, and pure lithium foil as counter electrode, it realizes eminent performance with high specific capacity of 1512.6 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and 755.1 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 3 A g-1 . To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first time PbSb2 O6 is utilized as high-performance anode for lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, this facile strategy provides a promising direction for high-performance amorphous anode material.

Abstract
High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have emerged as promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Among them, spinel HEOs with vacant lattice sites allowing for lithium insertion and diffusion seem particularly attractive. In this work, electrospun oxygen-deficient (Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Zn) HEO nanofibers are produced under environmentally friendly calcination conditions and evaluated as anode active material in LIBs. A thorough investigation of the material properties and Li+ storage mechanism is carried out by several analytical techniques, including ex situ synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The lithiation process is elucidated in terms of lithium insertion, cation migration, and metal-forming conversion reaction. The process is not fully reversible and the reduction of cations to the metallic form is not complete. In particular, iron, cobalt, and nickel, initially present mainly as Fe3+ , Co3+ /Co2+ , and Ni2+ , undergo reduction to Fe0 , Co0 , and Ni0 to different extent (Fe < Co < Ni). Manganese undergoes partial reduction to Mn3+ /Mn2+ and, upon re-oxidation, does not revert to the pristine oxidation state (+4). Zn2+ cations do not electrochemically participate in the conversion reaction, but migrating from tetrahedral to octahedral positions, they facilitate Li-ion transport within lattice channels opened by their migration. Partially reversible crystal phase transitions are observed.

Abstract
Transition metal oxide (TMO) anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) usually suffer from serious volume expansion leading to the pulverization of structures, further giving rise to lower specific capacity and worse cycling stability. Herein, by introducing polyoxometalate (POM) clusters into TMOs and precisely controlling the amount of POMs, the MnZnCuOx -phosphomolybdic acid hybrid sub-1 nm nanosheets (MZC-PMA HSNSs) anode is successfully fabricated, where the special electron rich structure of POMs is conducive to accelerating the migration of lithium ions on the anode to obtain higher specific capacity, and the non-covalent interactions between POMs and TMOs make the HSNSs possess excellent structural and chemical stability, thus exhibiting outstanding electrochemical performance in LIBs, achieving a high reversible capacity (1157 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 ) and an admirable long-term cycling stability at low and high current densities.

Abstract
K metal battery is a kind of high-energy-density storage device with economic advantages. However, due to the dendrite growth and difficult processing characteristics, it is difficult to prepare stable K metal anode with thin thickness and fixed area capacity, which severely limits its development. In this work, a multi-functional 3D skeleton (rGCA) is synthesized by simple vacuum filtration and thermal reduction, and K metal anodes with controllable thickness and area capacity (K content) can be fabricated by changing the raw material mass and graphene layer spacing of rGCA. Moreover, the graphene sheet layer of rGCA can relax stress and relieve volume expansion; carbon nanotubes can serve as the fast transport channel of electrons, reducing internal impedance and local current density; Ag nanoparticles can induce the uniform nucleation and deposition of K+ . The K metal composite anodes (rGCA-K) based on the conductive skeleton can effectively suppress dendrites and exhibit excellent electrochemical performance in symmetric and full cells. The controllable fabrication process of stable K metal anode is expected to help K metal batteries move toward the stage of commercial production.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used for portable electronics and electric vehicles; however, the low capacity in the graphite anode limits the improvement of energy density. Transition-metal selenides are promising anode material candidates due to their high theoretical capacity and controllable structure. In this study, we successfully synthesize a bimetallic transition-metal selenide nanocube composite, which is well embedded in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (denoted as CoNiSe2/NC). This material shows a high capacity and excellent cycling for Li-ion storage. Specifically, the reversible capacity approaches ∼1245 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. When cycled at 1 A g-1, the capacity still remains at 642.9 mA h g-1 even after 1000 cycles. In-operando XRD tests have been carried out to investigate the lithium storage mechanism. We discover that the outstanding performance is due to the unique CoNiSe2/NC nanocomposite characteristics, such as the synergistic effect of bimetallic selenide on lithium storage, the small particle size, and the stable and conductive carbon structure. Therefore, this morphology structure not only reduces the volume change of metal selenides but also produces more lithium storage active sites and shortens lithium diffusion paths, which results in high capacity, good rate, and long cycling.

Abstract
Configurational entropy-stabilized single-phase high-entropy oxides (HEOs) have been considered revolutionary electrode materials with both reversible lithium storage and high specific capacity that are difficult to fulfill simultaneously by conventional electrodes. However, precise understanding of lithium storage mechanisms in such HEOs remains controversial due to complex multi-cationic oxide systems. Here, distinct reaction dynamics and structural evolutions in rocksalt-type HEOs upon cycling are carefully studied by in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) including imaging, electron diffraction, and electron energy loss spectroscopy at atomic scale. The mechanisms of composition-dependent conversion/alloying reaction kinetics along with spatiotemporal variations of valence states upon lithiation are revealed, characterized by disappearance of the original rocksalt phase. Unexpectedly, it is found from the first visualization evidence that the post-lithiation polyphase state can be recovered to the original rocksalt-structured HEOs via reversible and symmetrical delithiation reactions, which is unavailable for monometallic oxide systems. Rigorous electrochemical tests coupled with postmortem ex situ TEM and bulk-level phase analyses further validate the crucial role of structural recovery capability in ensuring the reversible high-capacity Li-storage in HEOs. These findings can provide valuable guidelines to design compositionally engineer HEOs for almighty electrodes of next-generation long-life energy storage devices.

Abstract
In lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the stabilized capacities of transition metal compound anodes usually exhibit higher values than their theoretical values due to the interfacial charge storage, the formation of reversible electrolyte-derived surface layer, or interfacial magnetization. But the effectively utilizing the mechanisms to achieve novel anodes is rarely explored. Herein, a novel nanosized cobalt ditelluride (CoTe2 ) anodes with ultra-high capacity and long term stability is reported. Electrochemical tests show that the lithium storage capacity of the best sample reaches 1194.7 mA h g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.12 A g-1 , which increases by 57.8% compared to that after 20 cycles. In addition, the sample offers capacities of 546.6 and 492.1 mA h g-1 at 0.6 and 1.8 A g-1 , respectively. During cycles, CoTe2 particles (average size 20 nm) are gradually pulverized into the smaller nanoparticles (<3 nm), making the magnetization more fully due to the larger contact area of Co/Li2 Te interface, yielding an increased capacity. The negative capacity fading is observed, and verified by ex situ structural characterizations and in situ electrochemical measurements. The proposed strategy can be further extended to obtain other high-performance ferromagnetic metal based electrodes for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Biphasic or multiphase heterostructures have promising futures in advanced electrode materials for energy-related applications because of their desirable synergistic effects. Here we prepared a rational NiO/NiSe2@C heterostructure microsphere through carbonization, selenization, and oxidation using Ni-MOF as a precursor. Electrochemical studies were conducted to examine the Li+ storage characteristics, and density functional theory (DFT) was utilized to comprehend the underlying mechanism. When employed as the anode for LIBs, the NiO/NiSe2@C showed a high specific capacity and long-term cyclic stability, with a specific capacity of 992 mAh g-1 for 600 cycles at a current density of 0.2 A g-1. The NiO/NiSe2@C exhibits a significantly enhanced lithium-ion diffusion coefficient ( [Formula: see text] ) value. The DFT results show that an electron-rich area forms at the NiO/NiSe2 heterointerface, where the metalloid selenium transfers electrons to the oxygen atoms. The lithiation reactions were improved dramatically by redistributing interfacial charges, which can trigger a built-in electric field that dramatically promotes the capacitance contribution of electrode materials, enhances the lithium storage capacity, and accelerates the ion/electron transmission. The rational synthesis of NiO/NiSe2@C heterostructure can provide an idea for designing novel heterostructure anode materials.

Abstract
Abundant availability of seawater grants economic and resource-rich benefits to water electrolysis technology requiring high-purity water if undesired reactions such as chlorine evolution reaction (CER) competitive to oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are suppressed. Inspired by a conceptual computational work suggesting that OER is kinetically improved via a double activation within 7 Å-gap nanochannels, RuO2 catalysts are realized to have nanoscopic channels at 7, 11, and 14 Å gap in average (dgap ), and preferential activity improvement of OER over CER in seawater by using nanochanneled RuO2 is demonstrated. When the channels are developed to have 7 Å gap, the OER current is maximized with the overpotential required for triggering OER minimized. The gap value guaranteeing the highest OER activity is identical to the value expected from the computational work. The improved OER activity significantly increases the selectivity of OER over CER in seawater since the double activation by the 7 Å-nanoconfined environments to allow an OER intermediate (*OOH) to be doubly anchored to Ru and O active sites does not work on the CER intermediate (*Cl). Successful operation of direct seawater electrolysis with improved hydrogen production is demonstrated by employing the 7 Å-nanochanneled RuO2 as the OER electrocatalyst.

Abstract
Environmental and safety concerns of energy storage systems call for application of aqueous battery systems which have advantages of low cost, environmental benignity, safety, and easy assembling. Among the aqueous battery systems, aqueous dual-ion batteries (ADIBs) provide high possibility for achieving excellent battery performance. Compared with the "rocking chair" batteries with only one type of carrier involved in the charging and discharging, ADIBs with both cations and anions as charge carriers possess diverse selections of electrodes and electrolytes. Charge carriers are the basis of the configuration of ADIBs. In this Review, cations and anions that could be applied in ADIBs are demonstrated with corresponding electrode materials and favorable electrolytes. Some insertion mechanisms are emphasized to provide insights for the possibilities to enhance the practical performances of ADIBs.

Abstract
Transition metal oxalates (TMOxs, represented by iron oxalate) have attracted considerable interest in anode materials due to their excellent lithium storage properties and consistent cyclic performance. Although investigations into their electrochemical capabilities and lithium storage mechanisms are gradually deepening, the complex and varied electrochemical reactions in the initial cycle, poor inherent conductivity, and high irreversible capacity constrain their further development. Herein, to solve the above-mentioned problems, we controlled the hydrothermal synthesis conditions of iron oxalate with the assistance of organic solvents, which induced the growth of iron oxalate crystals with nano Ge metal as the core. The metal Ge space sites compounded to the stacked iron oxalate particles act as conductive nodes and metal frames, which enhances both the strength of iron oxalate samples and electronic conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion inside the electrode materials. This special structure enhances the electrochemical activity of iron oxalates and improves their lithium storage capability. The iron oxalate @ nano Ge metal composite (FCO@Ge-1) exhibits an excellent cycling performance and an appreciable reversible specific capacity (1090 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 1 A g-1). The obvious polarization and variation of the electrochemical reaction in the initial cycle of iron oxalate are reduced by compositing nano Ge metal. It is demonstrated that nano Ge metal can promote reversible capacity retention from 67.72% to 80.69% in the early cycles. The distinctive structure of iron oxalate @ nano Ge metal composite provides a fresh pathway to enhance oxalate electrochemical reversible lithium storage activity and develop high-energy electrode material by constructing composite space conductive sites.

Abstract
Nanoscale optimization of late transition-metal oxides for fixing the reversible lithiation/delithiation mechanism with an in-depth mechanistic understanding of nanocrystal (NC) conversion chemistry is important for furthering next-generation Li-ion battery (LIB) technologies. Herein, 1 nm-thin Ni3CoOx (1 nm-NCO) nanosheets synthesized through isomorphic transformation of NiCo layered double hydroxides within a two-dimensional (2D)-SiO2 envelope are chosen. The interconversion of metal/metal-oxide NCs under redox-switching thermal treatment, while retaining reversibility, inspired the accomplishment of identical consequences under the harsh operational conditions of LIB redox cycles by application of the thin-NCO-defined 2D nanospace. During charge/discharge cycles, 1 nm-NCO covered with an in situ formed solid-electrolyte-interphase layer enables fully reversible interconversion between the reactive NC redox pairs, as evidenced by detailed morphological and electrochemical analyses, thus providing high-rate capability with a specific capacity of 61.2% at 5.0 C relative to 0.2 C, outstanding cycle stability delivering a reversible capacity of 1169 mAh g-1, and 913 mAh g-1 with high average Coulombic efficiency (>99.2%) at 3.0 and 5.0 C for 1000 cycles, respectively, which has not been achieved with other transition-metal oxides. Such a nanospace-confinement effect on sustainability of reactive NCs to follow-up a highly reversible conversion reaction at fast charging in LIBs is operative within a slit-like ultrathin 2D nanogap from 1 nm-NCO only, as a relatively thicker 7 nm-NCO anode, with accompanying larger space available, has evidenced poor reversibility of NCs and inadequate cyclic stability under potential high-power density LIB application.

Abstract
Mn3O4 is regarded as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on its ultrahigh theoretical capacity (937 mAh g-1) and low cost but suffers from poor electronic conductivity and large volume variation during the lithiation/delithiation process, which result in dramatic capacity fading and inferior rate capability. Ti3C2Tx MXene, a novel two-dimensional transition metal carbide with metallic conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and hydrophilic surface, could be an ideal candidate to improve the lithium storage performance of Mn3O4. Here, a unique flexible, 2D-2D Mn3O4/MXene film is fabricated by assembling 2D Mn3O4 with Ti3C2Tx nanosheets through a simple vacuum filtration approach. In this unique 2D-2D nanostructure, MXene nanosheets buffer the volume change of Mn3O4 during the charge/discharge process. Moreover, the introduction of MXene enables the fabricated 2D-2D nanostructure with excellent flexibility and can be directly used as an electrode for LIBs, which is beneficial for enhancing the energy density of the assembled batteries. As a result, the flexible film of Mn3O4-MXene-8-2 shows excellent lithium storage performances in terms of specific capacity (931 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), rate capability (624 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1), and cycling stability, demonstrating its great potential for the application in LIBs.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) as high-capacity electrodes have several drawbacks owing to their inherent poor electronic conductivity and structural instability during the multi-electron conversion reaction process. In this study, the authors use an intrinsic high-valent cation substitution approach to stabilize cation-deficient magnetite (Fe3 O4 ) and overcome the abovementioned issues. Herein, 5 at% of Mo4+ -ions are incorporated into the spinel structure to substitute octahedral Fe3+ -ions, featuring ≈1.7 at% cationic vacancies in the octahedral sites. This defective Fe2.93 ▫0.017 Mo0.053 O4 electrode shows significant improvements in the mitigation of capacity fade and the promotion of rate performance as compared to the pristine Fe3 O4 . Furthermore, physical-electrochemical analyses and theoretical calculations are performed to investigate the underlying mechanisms. In Fe2.93 ▫0.017 Mo0.053 O4 , the cationic vacancies provide active sites for storing Li+ and vacancy-mediated Li+ migration paths with lower energy barriers. The enlarged lattice and improved electronic conductivity induced by larger doped-Mo4+ yield this defective oxide capable of fast lithium intercalation. This is confirmed by a combined characterization including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. This study provides a valuable strategy of vacancy-mediated reaction to intrinsically modulate the defective structure in TMOs for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Carbon nanoparticle-entrapped macroporous Mn 3O 4 microsphere anodes with improved cycling stability for Li-ion batteries. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11992.

Abstract
Manganese oxide (Mn3O4) has garnered substantial attention as a low-cost, environment-friendly anode material. It undergoes a conversion reaction involving the formation of Li2O and metallic Mn to provide high-energy Li-ion batteries. However, its low electrical conductivity and significant volume change reduce its capacity during the initial lithiation/delithiation, hindering its practical application. To improve the cycle performance, we propose a new composite structure wherein we entrap carbon nanoparticles in macroporous Mn3O4 microspheres with a unique maze-like porous interior. We fabricate the Mn3O4/C composites using a scalable two-step process involving the thermal decomposition of MnCO3 in water vapor and mixing in a carbon-dispersed solution. The fabricated Mn3O4/C composites with varying carbon contents exhibit a high maximum discharge capacity retention of 86% after 50 cycles, compared to the 18% given by bare Mn3O4. The entrapped carbon nanoparticles improve the cycle performance both electrochemically and physically. The microstructure of the composite particles and the fabrication process developed in this study will help improve the performance of other conversion-type anode materials that suffer from cycle degradation, including inexpensive transition metal oxides and sulfides.

Abstract
In-plane tungsten oxide nanostructures, including hexagonally patterned cylinders and holes in a matrix, were fabricated via sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) on self-assembled block copolymer templates. Using the tailored morphology and porosity of these model electrodes with in situ grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering, the intrinsic structural change of nanoscale active materials during the conversion reaction of WO3 + 6Li ↔ W + 3Li2O was investigated at controlled electrochemical conditions. Reversible electrode volume expansion and contraction was observed during lithiation and delithiation cycles, respectively. The potential where the electrode's thickness expansion started was ∼1.6 V, which is close to the thermodynamically expected one for the conversion reaction of WO3 with lithium (1.65 V). The temporal evolution of the electrode volume at constant electrode potentials revealed high overpotential for bulk lithiation and slow conversion reaction kinetics, despite the tailored porosity of the SIS electrodes. Oxide cylinders showed a smaller overall electrode thickness change, likely due to unconstrained lateral volume change, as compared to a matrix with holes. On the other hand, better connectivity and guided volume change of the latter electrode morphology provided improved cycling stability. In addition, heterogeneity in an electrode, from internal pores and density gradients, was found to aggravate the fragmentation of the electrode during the conversion reaction. Insights into oxide conversion reaction kinetics and the relationship between electrode mesostructure and cycling behavior obtained from this study can help guide the more rational design of conversion electrodes for high-performing batteries.

Abstract
Amid the burgeoning environmental concerns, electrochemical energy storage is of great demand, inspiring the rapid development of electrolytes. Quasi-liquid solid electrolytes (QLSEs) demonstrate exciting properties that combine high ionic conductivity and safety. Herein, a QLSE system is constructed by confining ionic liquids (ILs) into 2D materials-based membranes, which creates a subtle platform for the investigation of the nanoconfined ion transport process. The highest ionic conductivity increment of 506% can be observed when ILs are under nanoconfinement. Correlation of experimental results and simulation evidently prove the diffusion behaviors of ILs are remarkably accelerated when confined in nanochannels, ascribing from the promoted dissociation of ILs. Concurrently, nanoconfined ILs demonstrate a highly ordered distribution, lower interplay, and higher free volume compared against bulk systems. This work reveals and analyzes the phenomenon of ionic conductivity elevation in nanoconfined ILs, and offers inspiring opportunities to fabricate the highly stable and efficient QLSEs based on layered nanomaterials for energy storage applications.

Abstract
The drawbacks of common anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs), such as the high voltage plateau of Li4Ti5O12 (1.55 V vs. Li/Li+) and the moderate capacity of graphite (372 mAh-g-1), have established a need for better materials. Conversion materials, and in particular iron oxide and CaFe2O4 (CFO), have amassed recent attention as potential anode replacements. In this study, we evaluate the material and electrochemical effects of the solution combustion synthesis (SCS) of porous CFO across novel fuel-to-oxidizer ratios and calcination temperatures. We demonstrate that nearly doubling the amount of fuel used during synthesis increases capacities between 120 and 150% at high current densities (~ 1000 mA-g-1) and across 500 additional charging-discharging cycles, an effect brought on in part by enhanced compositional purity in these samples. However, in order to ensure long-term cyclic stability, it is necessary to also calcine porous CFO to 900 °C to enhance crystallite size, particle size and spacing, and compositional purity.

Abstract
In this work, a rapid coprecipitation reaction is developed to obtain nano-sized Zn-doped tin oxide samples (Zn-SnO-II or Zn-SnO2-IV) for the first time by simply mixing tin ion (Sn2+ or Sn4+) and zinc ion (Zn2+) containing salts in a mild aqueous condition. Characterization results illustrate the Zn-SnO-II sample is constituted by an overwhelming quantity of Zn-doped SnO nanobelts and a small quantity of Zn-doped SnO2 nanoparticles. The redox reaction between the Sn2+ ions from the Zn-SnO-II sample and the surface oxygen-containing functional groups from functionalized carbon nanotube (F-CNT) and graphene oxide (GO) leads to the formation of the final Zn-SnO2/CNT@RGO composites. As an anode active material for lithium-ion batteries, the Zn-SnO2/CNT@RGO product showed superior electrochemical performance than the controlled Zn-SnO2/CNT and Zn-SnO2/RGO samples, which had a high gravimetric capacity of 901.3 mAh·g-1 at a high charge and discharge current of 1000 mA·g-1 after 300 cycles and excellent rate capability. The reaction mechanism for the successful synthesis of the Zn-doped tin oxide samples has been proposed, and the insight into the outstanding lithium-ion storage performance for the Zn-SnO2/CNT@RGO composite has been revealed. The synthetic processes for both the Zn-doped tin oxides and derived carbon supported composites are straightforward and involve no harsh conditions nor complicated treatment, which have good potential for massive production and application in wider fields.

Abstract
Iron oxides are potential electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacities, low cost, rich resources, and their non-polluting properties. However, iron oxides demonstrate large volume expansion during the lithium intercalation process, resulting in the electrode material being crushed, which always results in poor cycle performance. In this paper, to solve the above problem, iron oxide/carbon nanocomposites with a hollow core-shell structure were designed. Firstly, an Fe2O3@polydopamine nanocomposite was prepared using an Fe2O3 nanocube and dopamine hydrochloride as precursors. Secondly, an Fe3O4@N-doped C composite was obtained by means of further carbonization treatment. Finally, Fe3O4@void@N-Doped C-x composites with core-shell structures with different void sizes were obtained by means of Fe3O4 etching. The effect of the etching time on the void size was studied. The electrochemical properties of the composites when used as lithium-ion battery materials were studied in more detail. The results showed that the sample that was obtained via etching for 5 h using 2 mol L-1 HCl solution at 30 °C demonstrated better electrochemical performance. The discharge capacity of the Fe3O4@void@N-Doped C-5 was able to reach up to 1222 mA g h-1 under 200 mA g-1 after 100 cycles.

Abstract
High-entropy materials are an emerging kind of solid-solution material, demonstrating various exotic physicochemical properties, that have led to increased research activity as electrode materials for rechargeable batteries. Here, a kind of high-entropy spinel oxide, (Co0.2Cr0.2Fe0.2Mn0.2Ni0.2)3O4 (CCFMNO), was successfully fabricated via a solution combustion method. Due to the entropy stabilization effect and the intrinsic high mechanical strength of CCFMNO, an excellent cycling stability can be achieved. In addition, the fruitful oxygen vacancies in CCFMNO increase extra Li-ion accommodation sites, accelerating electronic conductivity and promoting Li-ion migration, thus enabling a high rate performance of 428 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 10 A g-1. More impressively, CCFMNO electrodes demonstrate excellent temperature adaptability with no capacity degeneration after 50 cycles at 0, 25, and 50 °C. Meanwhile, a full cell based on a CCFMNO anode and LiFePO4 cathode delivers an impressive high energy density of 372 Wh kg-1. All these impressive lithium storage performances strongly suggest that CCFMNO could be a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Upgrading the energy density and cycling life of current lithium ion batteries is urgently needed for developing advanced portable electronics and electric vehicles. Amorphous transition metal oxides (TMO) with inherent lattice disorders exhibit enormous potential as electrode materials owing to their high specific capacity, fast ion diffusion, and excellent cyclic stability. Yet, challenges remain in their controllable synthesis. In this study, the amorphous phase is induced into α-MoO3 crystal nanobelts at room temperature with the aid of Jahn-Teller effect via enhanced lattice distortion triggered by the accumulation of low-valent molybdenum centers. The optimized HI-MoO3-36 h exhibits high reversible capacities of 886.0 at 0.1 A g-1 and 491.1 mA h g-1 at 1.0 A g-1, respectively, along with outstanding stability retaining 83.4% initial capacity after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1. The crystal engineering strategy proposed in this work is believed to be a salutary reference towards the synthesis of high-performance TMO anodes for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Volume expansion hinders conversion-type transition-metal oxides (TMOs) as potential anode candidates for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. While nanostructuring and nanosizing have been employed to improve the cycling stability of TMOs, we show here that both high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and stable cycling reversibility are achieved in the layered compound Li0.9Nb0.9Mo1.1O6 (L0.9NMO) by inherent properties of the bulk crystal structure. In this model, MoO6 octahedra as active centers react with lithium ions and endow capacity, while a grid composed of NbO6 octahedra effectively suppresses the volume expansion, enhances the conductivity, and supports the structural skeleton from collapse. As a result, bulk L0.9NMO not only delivers a high discharge capacity of 1128 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 with a considerable ICE of 87% but also exhibits long cycling stability and good rate performance (339 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 with an average Coulombic efficiency approaching 100%). The self-confined structure provides a competitive strategy for stable conversion-type lithium storage.

Abstract
More people, more cities; the energy demand increases in consequence and much of that will rely on next-generation smart materials. Zn-ferrites (ZnFe2O4) are nonconventional ceramic materials on account of their unique properties, such as chemical and thermal stability and the reduced toxicity of Zn over other metals. Furthermore, the remarkable cation inversion behavior in nanostructured ZnFe2O4 extensively cast-off in the high-density magnetic data storage, 5G mobile communication, energy storage devices like Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and water splitting for hydrogen production, among others. Here, we review how aforesaid properties can be easily tuned in various ZnFe2O4 nanostructures depending on the choice, amount, and oxidation state of metal ions, the specific features of cation arrangement in the crystal lattice and the processing route used for the fabrication.

Abstract
The development of battery systems with high specific capacity and power density could fuel various energy-related applications from personal electronics to grid storage. (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4 possessing high theoretical specific capacity has been considered as a promising high rate anode material for lithium ion batteries due to the replacement of Fe3+ (0.64 Å) by Ti4+ (0.68 Å) with a larger radius to expand the interlayer space for ion intercalation. However, its extreme volume variation upon cycling as well as poor electrical conductivity hinder its further application. To tackle the above problems, in this work, we successfully synthesized two-dimensional (2D) (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4/C/MXene architecture derived from Ti3C2Tx MXene via solvo-hydrothermal, ultrasound hybridizing and high temperature annealing processes. The (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4/C/MXene shows a high discharge capacity of 757.2 mAh g-1 after 800 cycles at a current density of 3 A g-1 with excellent rate performance. The superior electrochemical performances are triggered primarily by the incorporation of carbon and MXene into (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4 moiety to construct a 2D layered structure, which can improve the ion diffusion and electron transport. In addition, the synergistic contributions from diffusion controlled and capacitive processes for (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4/C/MXene improve the ion diffusion rate and offer high specific capacity at high current density. The MXene-derived synthesis strategy in this work should be a promising pathway to synthesize other anode materials with 2D layered architecture for high performance lithium storage.
