Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries possess desirable characteristics in large-scale energy storage applications. However, severe polarization, sluggish kinetics and structural instability caused by high charge density Mg2+ hinder the development of high-performance cathode materials. Herein, the anionic redox chemistry in VS4 is successfully activated by inducing cations reduction and introducing anionic vacancies via polyacrylonitrile (PAN) intercalation. Increased interlayer spacing and structural vacancies can promote the electrolyte ions migration and accelerate the reaction kinetics. Thanks to this "three birds with one stone" strategy, PAN intercalated VS4 exhibits an outstanding electrochemical performance: high discharge specific capacity of 187.2 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 after stabilization and a long lifespan of 5000 cycles at 2 A g-1 are achieved, outperforming other reported VS4-based materials to date for magnesium storage under the APC electrolyte. Theoretical calculations confirm that the intercalated PAN can indeed induce cations reduction and generate anionic vacancies by promoting electron transfer, which can accelerate the electrochemical reaction kinetics and activate the anionic redox chemistry, thus improving the magnesium storage performance. This approach of organic molecular intercalation represents a promising guideline for electrode material design on the development of advanced multivalent-ion batteries.

Abstract
Frequent oil spills and illegal industrial pollutant discharge cause ecological and resource damages, so it is necessary to establish efficient adsorption and recovery strategies for oils in wastewater. Herein, inspired by solar-driven viscosity-breaking, we propose a facile approach to fabricate multifunctional nanofibrillated cellulose-based aerogel with high elasticity, excellent photothermal conversion, efficient selective oil adsorption and antibacterial properties. Firstly, copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles were in situ deposited on the template of oxidative nanofibrillated cellulose (ONC), aiming at achieving efficient photothermal effect and antibacterial properties. Ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) was employed to establish multiple crosslinking network between CuS@ONC and polyethyleneimine (PEI). A thin hydrophobic PMTS layer deposited on the surface of aerogel via a facile gas-solid reaction ensured stable oil selectivity. The resulting composite aerogel can rapidly adsorb oil under solar self-heating, significantly reducing the adsorption time from 25 to 5 min. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent adsorption capacities for various oils, retaining over 92 % of its initial capacity even after 20 adsorption-desorption cycles, and the antibacterial properties extend its lifespan. This work offers a promising method for constructing multifunctional aerogels for efficient oil-water separation, especially beneficial for high-viscosity and high-melting-point oil cleanup.

Abstract
Bismuth and bismuth-based compounds have been extensively studied as anodes as prospective candidates for rechargeable magnesium batteries (rMBs). However, the unsatisfactory magnesium-storage capability caused by the typical alloying reaction mechanism severely restricts the practical option for anodes in rMBs. Herein, polyaniline intercalated Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets are prepared by an effective interlayer engineering strategy to fine-tune the layer structure of Bi2O2CO3, achieving enhanced magnesium-storage capacity, rate performance, as well as long cycle life. Excitedly, a stepwise insertion-conversion-alloying reaction is aroused to stabilize the performance, which is elucidated by in/ex situ investigations. Moreover, first-principles calculations confirm that the coupling of Bi2O2CO3 and polyaniline not only increases the conductivity induced by the strong density of states and the interior self-built-in electric field but also significantly reduces the energy barrier of Mg shuttles. Our findings shed light on exploring new electrode materials with an appropriate working mechanism toward high-performance rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMB) have emerged as one of the most promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries due to the prominent advantages of magnesium metal anodes. Nevertheless, their application is hindered by sluggish Mg-ion storage kinetics in cathodes, although various structural modifications of cathode materials have been performed. Herein, an electrolyte design using an anion-incorporated Mg-ion solvation structure is developed to promote the Mg-ion storage reactions of conversion-type cathode materials. The addition of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion (OTf- ) in the ether-based Mg-ion electrolyte modulates the solvation structure of Mg2+ from [Mg(DME)3 ]2+ to [Mg(DME)2.5 OTf]+ (DME = dimethoxy ethane), which facilitates Mg-ion desolvation and thus significantly expedites the charge transfer of the cathode material. As a result, the as-prepared CuSe cathode material on copper current collector exhibits a considerable increase in magnesium storage capacity from 61% (228 mAh g-1 ) to 95% (357 mAh g-1 ) of the theoretical capacity at 0.1 A g-1 and a more than twofold capacity increase at a high current density of 1.0 A g-1 . This work provides an efficient strategy via electrolyte modulation to achieve high-rate conversion-type cathode materials for RMBs. The incorporation of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion in the Mg-ion solvation structure of the borate-based Mg-ion electrolyte enables the fast magnesium storage kinetics of the conversion-type cathode materials. The as-prepared copper selenide cathode achieved a more than twofold capacity increase at a high rate and the highest reversible capacities compared to those of the previously reported metal selenide cathodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are a promising large-scale energy-storage technology with low cost and high reliability. However, developing high-performance cathode materials remains the most prominent obstacle because of the insufficient magnesium-storage active sites and unfavorable magnesium cation transport paths, as well as the strong interaction between the cathode material and the bivalent magnesium cation. Herein, ammonium tetrathiomolybdate is demonstrated to be a high-performance RMB cathode material. Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate exhibits a high capacity of 333 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and a good rate performance of 129 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 (∼15 C). An amorphous structure with plenty of efficient magnesium-storage active sites and open magnesium transport paths is in situ formed during the first cycle via ammonium extraction. The covalent-like bond between the molybdenum and sulfur delocalizes the negative charge, weakening the interaction with the bivalent magnesium cation and accelerating the kinetics. The covalent-like molybdenum-sulfur bond also promotes the simultaneous redox of molybdenum and sulfur, leading to a high specific capacity. The present work introduces a high-capacity and high-power RMB cathode material, elucidates the origin of the high performance, and provides insights for the design and optimization of RMB cathode materials.

Abstract
Pt counter electrodes (CEs) have been widely used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to their high conductivity and electrocatalytic activity. However, industrialization of DSSCs is limited by shortcomings of Pt CEs such as being expensive, and weak corrosion resistance in electrolytes. Reported in this paper is two simple approaches to Pt-free Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs. Nanocrystalline Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs were fabricated via two processes, that is, a solvothermal process to Cu1.8S1-xSex powder followed by CE fabrication, and a solvothermal process and CE fabrication to Cu1.8S films followed by selenylation to Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs. Photoelectric conversion efficiencies (PCE) of 4.02% and 4.16% were achieved respectively by the as-fabricated Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs. Compared with the cells with Cu1.8S CEs fabricated by the same processes, increases of 19% and 45% were achieved, respectively. The PCE improvement comes from the enhancement of charge transfer at the CE/electrolyte interface induced by the selenylation of the CEs.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are promising candidates to replace currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale energy storage applications owing to their merits of abundant resources, low cost, high theoretical volumetric capacity, etc. However, the development of RMBs is still facing great challenges including the incompatibility of the electrolyte and the lack of suitable cathode materials with high reversible capacity and fast kinetics of Mg2+ . While tremendous efforts have been made to explore compatible electrolytes and appropriate electrode materials, the rational design of unconventional Mg-based battery systems is another effective strategy for achieving high electrochemical performance. This review specifically discusses the recent research progress of various Mg-based battery systems. First, the optimization of electrolyte and electrode materials for conventional RMBs is briefly discussed. Furthermore, various Mg-based battery systems, including Mg-chalcogen (S, Se, Te) batteries, Mg-halogen (Br2 , I2 ) batteries, hybrid-ion batteries, and Mg-based dual-ion batteries are systematically summarized. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of different Mg-based battery systems, which can inspire latecomers to explore new strategies for the development of high-performance and practically available RMBs.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg)-ion batteries with low cost and good safety characteristics has attracted a great deal of attention recently. However, the high polarity and the slow diffusion of Mg2+ in the cathode material limit the development of practical Mg cathode materials. In this paper, an anion-rich electrode material, NiS2 , and its composite with Ni-based carbon nanotubes (NiS2 /NCNTs) are explored as the cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries. These NiS2 /NCNTs with excellent Mg2+ storage property is synthesized by a simple in situ growth of NiS2 nanoparticles on NCNTs. NiS2 with both a large regular cavity structure and abundant sulfur-sulfur (SS) bonds with high electronegativity can provide a large number of active sites and unobstructed transport paths for the insertion-disinsertion of Mg2+ . With the aid of 3D NCNTs skeleton as the transport channel of the electron, the NiS2 /NCNTs exhibit a high capacity of 244.5 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and an outstanding rate performance (94.7 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 ). It achieves capacitance retention of 58% after 2000 cycles at 200 mA g-1 . Through theoretical density functional theory (DFT) calculations and a series of systematic ex situ characterizations, the magnesiation/demagnesiation mechanisms of NiS2 and NiS2 /NCNTs and are elucidated for fundamental understanding.

Abstract
In this work, a hollow double-shelled architecture, based on n-type ZnIn2S4 nanosheet-coated p-type CuS hollow octahedra (CuS@ZnIn2S4 HDSOs), is designed and fabricated as a p-n heterojunction photocatalyst for selective CO2 photoreduction into CH4. The resulting hybrids provide rich active sites and effective charge migration/separation to drive CO2 photoreduction, and meanwhile, CO detachment is delayed to increase the possibility of eight-electron reactions for CH4 production. As expected, the optimized CuS@ZnIn2S4 HDSOs manifest a CH4 yield of 28.0 μmol g-1 h-1 and a boosted CH4 selectivity up to 94.5%. The decorated C60 both possesses high electron affinity and improves catalyst stability and CO2 adsorption ability. Thus, the C60-decorated CuS@ZnIn2S4 HDSOs exhibit the highest CH4 evolution rate of 43.6 μmol g-1 h-1 and 96.5% selectivity. This work provides a rational strategy for designing and fabricating efficient heteroarchitectures for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
The conversion-type copper chalcogenide cathode materials hold great promise for realizing the competitive advantages of rechargeable magnesium batteries among next-generation energy storage technologies; yet, they suffer from sluggish kinetics and low redox reversibility due to large Coulombic resistance and ionic polarization of Mg2+ ions. Here we present an anionic Te-substitution strategy to promote the reversible Cu0/Cu+ redox reaction in Te-substituted CuS1-xTex nanosheet cathodes. X-ray absorption fine structure analysis demonstrates that Te dopants occupy the anionic sites of sulfur atoms and result in an improved oxidation state of the Cu species. The kinetically favored CuS1-xTex (x = 0.04) nanosheets deliver a specific capacity of 446 mAh g-1 under a 20 mA g-1 current density and a good long-life cycling stability upon 1500 repeated cycles with a capacity decay rate of 0.0345% per cycle at 1 A g-1. Furthermore, the CuS1-xTex (x = 0.04) nanosheets can also exhibit an enhanced rate capability with a reversible specific capacity of 100 mAh g-1 even under a high current density of 1 A g-1. All the obtained electrochemical characteristics of CuS1-xTex nanosheets significantly exceed those of pristine CuS nanosheets, which can contribute to the improved redox reversibility and favorable kinetics of CuS1-xTex nanosheets. Therefore, anionic Te-substitution demonstrates a route for purposeful cathode chemistry regulation in rechargeable magnesium batteries.

Abstract
Transition-metal compounds have attracted enormous attention as potential energy storage materials for their high theoretical capacity and energy density. However, the most present transition-metal compounds still suffer from severe capacity decay and limited rate capability due to the lack of robust architectures. Herein, a general metal-organic framework-derived route is reported to fabricate hierarchical carbon-encapsulated yolk-shell nickelic spheres as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. The nickelic metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) precursors can be in situ converted into hierarchical carbon-encapsulated Ni2P (Ni2P/C), NiS2 (NiS2/C) and NiSe2 (NiSe2/C) by phosphorization, sulfuration, and selenation reaction, respectively, and maintain their yolk-shell sphere-like morphology. The as-synthesized Ni2P/C sample can deliver much lower polarization and discharge platform, smaller voltage gap, and faster kinetics in comparison with that of the other two counterparts, and thus achieve higher initial specific capacity (3222.1/1979.3 mAh g-1) and reversible capacity of 765.4 mAh g-1 after 110 cycles. This work should provide new insights into the phase and structure engineering of carbon-encapsulated transition-metal compound electrodes via MOFs template for advanced battery systems.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides have received considerable interest as the anodes for sodium-ion (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) owing to their high theoretical capacity and suitable working potential. However, they suffer from poor electrochemical reversibility and limited cycle lives. Herein, we design and synthesize a Se-substituted CuS material, which demonstrates superior electrochemical properties for both potassium and sodium storage because of the enhanced electronic conductivity, lowered diffusion barrier, and shortened diffusion pathway. The anode delivers a specific capacity of 374 mA h g-1 at a current density of 5 A g-1 in SIBs and 341 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 in PIBs and nearly 100% capacity retention over 2000 cycles (SIBs) and 600 cycles (PIBs), respectively. Moreover, a combined measurement including X-ray diffraction, Raman, and transmission electron microscopy reveals an interesting discharge product of Na2S0.8Se0.2, which could accelerate the conversion reaction and enhance the electrochemical reversibility.

Abstract
Owing to its low cost, high theoretical capacity, and environmentally friendly characteristics, pyrite FeS2 demonstrates promise as a cathode material for high-energy metal-anode-based rechargeable batteries. When it is used in a rechargeable magnesium battery (RMB), the electrode couple exhibits an extremely low theoretical volume change upon full discharge. However, its electrochemical Mg-ion storage is considerably hindered by slow reaction kinetics. In this study, a high-performance FeS2 cathode for RMBs using a copper current collector is reported, which is involved in cathode reactions via a reversible redox process between copper and cuprous sulfide. This phase transformation with the formation of copper nanowires during discharge activates the redox reactions of FeS2 via a two-step and four-electron Mg-ion transfer that dominates the cathode reactions. As a result, the as-prepared FeS2 nanomaterial cathode delivers a significantly enhanced reversible capacity of 679 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 . The corresponding energy density of 714 Wh kg-1 is superior to those of all previously reported metal chalcogenide cathodes in RMBs or hybrid batteries using a Mg metal anode. Notably, the as-assembled FeS2 -Mg battery can operate over 1000 cycles with a good capacity retention at 400 mA g-1 .

Abstract
Magnesium ion battery is one of the promising next-generation energy storage systems. Nevertheless, lack of appropriate cathode materials to ensure massive storage and efficient migration of Mg cations is a big obstacle for development of Mg-ion batteries. Herein, by means of first principles calculations, the geometric structure, electronic structure, Mg intercalation behavior and Mg diffusion behavior of the layered MoO2and two MoOSe (MoOSe(I) and MoOSe(V)) were systematically investigated. Layered MoO2shows semiconductor properties, while MoOSe displays metallic characteristics which ensure higher conductivity. The Mg cations tend to intercalate into octahedral sites for both MoO2and MoOSe. The maximum Mg-storage phases of the layered MoO2, MoOSe(I) and MoOSe(V) correspond to Mg0.666MoO2, Mg0.666MoOSe(I) and Mg0.666MoOSe(V), with theoretical specific capacities of 279, 191 and 191 mAh g-1, respectively. The calculated discharge plateaus of MoO2and two MoOSe are all about 1 V, which ensure that the layered MoO2and MoOSe electrodes can act as cathodes for Mg-ion batteries in the early stage. Moreover, comparing with other cathodes, the diffusion barrier of Mg cations and volume expansion during Mg intercalation process are competitive. The results suggest that layered MoO2and MoOSe are the promising cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries.

Abstract
Curtains with light-to-heat conversion capacity can warm up a room under solar radiation and improve the thermal energy efficiency of buildings, thereby reducing energy consumption during winter. Herein, a photothermal silk fibroin aerogel is synthesized by freeze-drying and curing method, using silk fibroin (SF) as template and scaffold, copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) as photothermal conversion material, polyethylene glycol (PEG) as plasticizer, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the package agent. The results reveal that SF as the template may guide the growth of CuS NPs, and the introduction of PEG improves the flexibility of the prepared CuS@SF aerogel. The composite CuS@SF-PEG/PDMS aerogel not only preserves the initial characteristics of SF aerogel but also integrates hydrophobic, rapid antibacterial ability, high-performance photothermal conversion efficiency, and stable switching effect. The lightweight, self-heating SF-based aerogel can be applied to the preparation of home textiles such as smart curtains. Additionally, it can be used as absorbent for cleaning up viscous oil from water, which could expand the applications of SF-based biomaterials toward meeting the requirements of sustainable developments.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are regarded as promising candidates for beyond-lithium-ion batteries owing to their high energy density. Moreover, as Mg metal is earth-abundant and has low propensity for dendritic growth, RMBs have the advantages of being more affordable and safer than the currently used lithium-ion batteries. However, the commercial viability of RMBs has been negatively impacted by slow diffusion kinetics in most cathode materials due to the high charge density and strongly polarizing nature of the Mg2+ ion. Nanostructuring of potential cathode materials such as metal chalcogenides offers an effective means of addressing these challenges by providing larger surface area and shorter migration routes. In this article, a review of recent research on the design of metal chalcogenide nanostructures for RMBs' cathode materials is provided. The different types and structures of metal chalcogenide cathodes are discussed, and the synthetic strategies through which nanostructuring of these materials can be achieved are described. An organized summary of their electrochemical performance is also presented, along with an analysis of the current challenges and future directions. Although particular focus is placed on RMBs, many of the nanostructuring concepts that are discussed here can be carried forward to other next-generation energy storage systems.

Abstract
Copper sulfides are broadly explored as the possible cathode materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries on account of their high theoretical capacity of 560 mAh g-1. However, the CuS cathodes usually suffer from serious capacity decay caused by structure collapse during the repeated magnesiation/demagnesiation process. Herein, we present a cuprous self-doping strategy to synthesize mesoporous CuS nanotubes with robust structural stability for rechargeable magnesium batteries and regulate their electrochemical magnesium storage behavior. Electrochemical results show that the mesoporous CuS nanotubes can exhibit high specific capacity, remarkable cycling performance, and good rate capability. The observed discharge capacity of the mesoporous CuS nanotubes could reach about 281.2 mAh g-1 at 20 mA g-1 and 168.9 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1. Furthermore, a remarkable ultralong-term cyclic stability with a reversible capacity of 72.5 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 is obtained after 550 cycles. These results demonstrate that the mesoporous nanotube structure and the simple cuprous self-doping effect could promote the practical application of copper sulfide cathode materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries.

Abstract
Owing to the advantages of high safety, low cost, high theoretical volumetric capacities, and environmental friendliness, magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) have more feasibility for large-scale energy storage compared to lithium-ion batteries. However, lack of suitable cathode materials due to sluggish kinetics of magnesium ion is one of the biggest challenges. Herein, water-pillared sodium vanadium bronze nanowires (Na2 V6 O16 ·1.63H2 O) are reported as cathode material for MIBs, which display high performance in magnesium storage. The hydrated sodium ions provide excellent structural stability. The charge shielding effect of lattice water enables fast Mg2+ diffusion. It exhibits high specific capacity of 175 mAh g-1 , long cycle life (450 cycles), and high coulombic efficiency (≈100%). At high current density of 200 mA g-1 , the capacity retention is up to 71% even after 450 cycles (compared to the highest capacity), demonstrating excellent long-term cycling performance. The nature of charge storage kinetics is explored. Furthermore, a highly reversible structure change during the electrochemical process is proved by comprehensive electrochemical analysis. The remarkable electrochemical performance makes Na2 V6 O16 ·1.63H2 O a promising cathode material for low-cost and safe MIBs.
