Abstract
Breaking through the limitations of lithium-ion transmission is imperative for high-power rechargeable batteries. As a promising anode material for fast-charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) has garnered considerable research attention due to its exceptional rate performance, stable lithium storage performance and high safety attributes. Nevertheless, the limited intrinsic conductivity of Nb2O5, coupled with its structural degradation during the cycling process, imposes constraints on its viability as a commercially viable electrode material. Herein, a ruthenium (Ru) doping method is employed to regulate the oxygen defects and the interlayer spacing of the tetragonal Nb2O5 (M-Nb2O5), offering superior reaction kinetics, higher stability for lithium storage sites and more unobstructed lithium-ion transport channels. Ru-doped Nb2O5 (RNO) manifests excellent electrochemical properties, including remarkable rate capacity (166 mAh/g at 80C), reversible capacity (246.98 mAh/g at 0.5C), improved initial Coulombic efficiency (95.77 % compared to 81.44 % of the pure sample) and cycling stability (maintaining a capacity of 113.5 mAh/g at 10C for 2,000 cycles). The enhancement mechanism of Ru doping on the structural stability and ion transport kinetics in tetragonal Nb2O5 is comprehensively elucidated through diverse electrochemical analyses and in-situ techniques.

Abstract
"Fast-charging" lithium-ion batteries have gained a multitude of attention in recent years since they could be applied to energy storage areas like electric vehicles, grids, and subsea operations. Unfortunately, the excellent energy density could fail to sustain optimally while lithium-ion batteries are exposed to fast-charging conditions. In actuality, the crystal structure of electrode materials represents the critical factor for influencing the electrode performance. Accordingly, employing anode materials with low diffusion barrier could improve the "fast-charging" performance of the lithium-ion battery. In this Review, first, the "fast-charging" principle of lithium-ion battery and ion diffusion path in the crystal are briefly outlined. Next, the application prospects of "fast-charging" anode materials with various crystal structures are evaluated to search "fast-charging" anode materials with stable, safe, and long lifespan, solving the remaining challenges associated with high power and high safety. Finally, summarizing recent research advances for typical "fast-charging" anode materials, including preparation methods for advanced morphologies and the latest techniques for ameliorating performance. Furthermore, an outlook is given on the ongoing breakthroughs for "fast-charging" anode materials of lithium-ion batteries. Intercalated materials (niobium-based, carbon-based, titanium-based, vanadium-based) with favorable cycling stability are predominantly limited by undesired electronic conductivity and theoretical specific capacity. Accordingly, addressing the electrical conductivity of these materials constitutes an effective trend for realizing fast-charging. The conversion-type transition metal oxide and phosphorus-based materials with high theoretical specific capacity typically undergoes significant volume variation during charging and discharging. Consequently, alleviating the volume expansion could significantly fulfill the application of these materials in fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
With the accelerated penetration of the global electric vehicle market, the demand for fast charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that enable improvement of user driving efficiency and user experience is becoming increasingly significant. Robust ion/electron transport paths throughout the electrode have played a pivotal role in the progress of fast charging LIBs. Yet traditional graphite anodes lack fast ion transport channels, which suffer extremely elevated overpotential at ultrafast power outputs, resulting in lithium dendrite growth, capacity decay, and safety issues. In recent years, emergent multiscale porous anodes dedicated to building efficient ion transport channels on multiple scales offer opportunities for fast charging anodes. This review survey covers the recent advances of the emerging multiscale porous anodes for fast charging LIBs. It starts by clarifying how pore parameters such as porosity, tortuosity, and gradient affect the fast charging ability from an electrochemical kinetic perspective. We then present an overview of efforts to implement multiscale porous anodes at both material and electrode levels in diverse types of anode materials. Moreover, we critically evaluate the essential merits and limitations of several quintessential fast charging porous anodes from a practical viewpoint. Finally, we highlight the challenges and future prospects of multiscale porous fast charging anode design associated with materials and electrodes as well as crucial issues faced by the battery and management level.

Abstract
Anode materials with fast charging capabilities and stability are critical for realizing next-generation Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (SIBs). The present work employs a simple synthetic strategy to obtain NbO2 and studies its applications as an anode for LIB and SIB. In the case of the LIB, it exhibited a specific capacity of 344 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1. It also demonstrated remarkable stability over 1000 cycles, with 92% capacity retention. Additionally, it showed a unique fast charging capability, which takes 30 s to reach a specific capacity of 83 mAh g-1. For the SIB, NbO2 exhibited a specific capacity of 244 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and showed 70% capacity retention after 500 cycles. Furthermore, detailed density functional theory reveals that various factors like bulk and surface charging processes, lower ion diffusion energy barriers, and superior electronic conductivity of NbO2 are responsible for the observed battery performances.

Abstract
High-rate batteries will play a vital role in future energy storage systems, yet while good progress is being made in the development of high-rate lithium-ion batteries, there is less progress with post-lithium-ion chemistry. In this study, we demonstrate that pseudohexagonal Nb2O5(TT-Nb2O5) can offer a high specific capacity (179 mAh g-1 ∼ 0.3C), good lifetime, and an excellent rate performance (72 mAh g-1 at ∼15C) in potassium-ion batteries (KIBs), when it is composited with a highly conductive carbon framework; this is the first reported investigation of TT-Nb2O5 for KIBs. Specifically, multiwalled carbon nanotubes are strongly tethered to Nb2O5 via glucose-derived carbon (Nb2O5@CNT) by a one-step hydrothermal method, which results in highly conductive and porous needle-like structures. This work therefore offers a route for the scalable production of a viable KIB anode material and hence improves the feasibility of fast-charging KIBs for future applications.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides with high capacity still confront the challenges of low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE, generally <70%) and inferior cyclic stability for practical lithium-storage. Herein, a hollow slender carambola-like Li0.43 FeO1.51 with Fe vacancies is proposed by a facile reaction of Fe3+ -containing metal-organic frameworks with Li2 CO3 . Synthesis experiments combined with synchrotron-radiation X-ray measurements identify that the hollow structure is caused by Li2 CO3 erosion, while the formation of Fe vacancies is resulted from insufficient lithiation process with reduced Li2 CO3 dosage. The optimized lithium iron oxides exhibit remarkably improved ICE (from 68.24% to 86.78%), high-rate performance (357 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ), and superior cycling stability (884 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 ). Paring with LiFePO4 cathodes, the full-cells achieve extraordinary cyclic stability with 99.3% retention after 100 cycles. The improved electrochemical performances can be attributed to the synergy of structural characteristics and Fe vacancy engineering. The unique hollow structure alleviates the volume expansion of Li0.43 FeO1.51 , while the in situ generated Fe vacancies are powerful for modulating electronic structure with boosted Li+ transport rate and catalyze more Li2 O decomposition to react with Fe in the first charge process, hence enhancing the ICE of lithium iron oxide anode materials.
