Abstract
The carbonaceous anodes in sodium ion batteries suffer from low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and poor cyclability due to rampant solid electrolyte interface (SEI) growth. The concept of the weakly solvating electrolyte (WSE) has been popularized for SEI regulation on the anode by adjusting the cation solvation structure. Nevertheless, the effects on the solvation sheath from the electrode/electrolyte interface are ignored in most WSE applications. In this work, we extend the WSE from the bulk electrolyte to the electrolyte/carbon interface. By recycling asphalt wastes into sp2 C enriched few-layer carbon on hard carbon, a weakly solvating interface is fabricated with lower adsorption energy to electrolyte solvent molecules than a pristine anode (-0.89 vs -1.08 eV for Na/diglyme). Accordingly, more anionic groups are attracted into the solvent-weakened solvation sheath during sodiation (2.30 vs 1.96 coordination number for PF6-). The anion-mediated contact ion pairs facilitate a thin, inorganic-rich SEI layer with a homogeneous distribution, which confers a high ICE of 97.9% and a high capacity of 335.6 mA h g-1 at 1 C (89.5% retention, 1000 cycles). The full battery also manifests an energy density of 209 W h kg-1. This interfacial design is applicable in both ether- and ester-based electrolytes, which is promising in cost-effective modification for carbonaceous electrodes.

Abstract
Hard carbons, as one of the most commercializable anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), have to deal with the trade-off between the rate capability and specific capacity or initial Columbic efficiency (ICE), and the fast performance decline at low temperature (LT) remains poorly understood. Here, a comprehensive regulation on the interfacial/bulk electrochemistry of hard carbons through atomic Zn doping is reported, which demonstrates a record-high reversible capacity (546 mAh g-1 ), decent ICE (84%), remarkable rate capability (140 mAh g-1 @ 50 A g-1 ), and excellent LT capacity (443 mAh g-1 @ -40 °C), outperforming the state-of-the-art literature. This work reveals that the Zn doping can generally induce a local electric field to enable fast bulk Na+ transportation, and meanwhile catalyze the decomposition of NaPF6 to form a robust inorganic-rich solid-electrolyte interphase, which elaborates the underlying origin of the boosted electrochemical performance. Importantly, distinguished from room temperature, the intrinsic Na+ migration/desolvation ability of the electrolyte is disclosed to be the crucial rate-determining factors for the SIB performance at LT. This work provides a fundamental understanding on the charge-storage kinetics at varied temperatures.

Abstract
Transition metals can deliver high lithium storage capacity, but the reason behind this remains elusive. Herein, the origin of this anomalous phenomenon is uncovered by in situ magnetometry taking metallic Co as a model system. It is revealed that the lithium storage in metallic Co undergoes a two-stage mechanism involving a spin-polarized electron injection to the 3d orbital of Co and subsequent electron transfer to the surrounding solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) at lower potentials. These effects create space charge zones for fast lithium storage on the electrode interface and boundaries with capacitive behavior. Therefore, the transition metal anode can enhance common intercalation or pseudocapacitive electrodes at high capacity while showing superior stability to existing conversion-type or alloying anodes. These findings pave the way for not only understanding the unusual lithium storage behavior of transition metals but also for engineering high-performance anodes with overall enhancement in capacity and long-term durability.

Abstract
The powerful and rapid development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in secondary batteries field makes lithium resources in short supply, leading to rising battery costs. Under the circumstances, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with low cost, inexhaustible sodium reserves, and analogous work principle to LIBs, have evolved as one of the most anticipated candidates for large-scale energy storage devices. Thereinto, the applicable electrode is a core element for the smooth development of SIBs. Among various anode materials, metal selenides (MSex ) with relatively high theoretical capacity and unique structures have aroused extensive interest. Regrettably, MSex suffers from large volume expansion and unwished side reactions, which result in poor electrochemistry performance. Thus, strategies such as carbon modification, structural design, voltage control as well as electrolyte and binder optimization are adopted to alleviate these issues. In this review, the synthesis methods and main reaction mechanisms of MSex are systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the major challenges of MSex and the corresponding available strategies are proposed. Furthermore, the recent research progress on layered and nonlayered MSex for application in SIBs is presented and discussed in detail. Finally, the future development focuses of MSex in the field of rechargeable ion batteries are highlighted.

Abstract
MOF-based materials are a class of efficient precursors for the preparation of heteroatom-doped porous carbon materials that have been widely applied as anode materials for Na-ion batteries. Thereinto, sulfur is often introduced to increase defects and act as an active species to directly react with sodium ions. Although the sulfur introduction and high surface area can synergistically improve capacity and rate capability, the initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and electrical conductivity of carbon material are inevitably reduced. Therefore, balancing sodium storage capacity and ICE is still the bottleneck faced by adsorbent carbon materials. Here, sulfur-encapsulated microporous carbon material with nitrogen, sulfur dual-doping (NSPC) is synthesized by postprocessing, achieving the reduced specific surface area by encapsulating sulfur in micropores, and the increased active sites by edge sulfur doping. The synergy between encapsulation and sulfur doping effectively balances specific capacity, rate capability, and ICE. The NSPC material exhibits capacities of 591.5 and 244.2 mAh g-1 at 0.5 and at 10 A g-1, respectively, and the ICE is as high as 72.3%. Moreover, the effect of nitrogen and sulfur on the improvement of electron/ion diffusion kinetics is resonantly demonstrated by density functional theory calculations. This synergistic preparation method may reveal a feasible thought for fabricating excellent-performance adsorption-type carbon materials for Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Structure engineering of electrode materials can significantly improve the life cycle and rate capability of the sodium-ion battery (SIB), yet remains a challenging task due to the lack of an effective synthetic strategy. Herein, the microstructure of VS4 hollow spheres is successfully engineered through a facile hydrothermal method. The hollow VS4 microspheres possess rich porosity and are covered with 2D ultrathin nanosheets on the surface. The finite element simulation (FES) reveals that such heterostructures can effectively relieve the stress induced by the sodiation and thereby enhance the structural integrity. The SIB with the hollow VS4 microspheres as anode displays impressively high specific capacity, excellent stability upon ultra-long cycling, and extraordinary rate capacity, e.g., a reversible capacity of ≈378 mA h g-1 at ultra-high 10 A g-1 , while retaining 73.2% capacity after 1000 cycles. The Na storage mechanism is also elucidated through in situ/ex situ characterizations. Moreover, the hollow VS4 microspheres demonstrate reliable rate performance at a low temperature of -40 °C (e.g., the capacity is ≈163 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1 ). This work provides novel insights toward high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is regarded as the most promising anode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, and low working potential. However, the large volume variation during the continuous lithiation/delithiation processes easily leads to structural damage and serious side reactions. To overcome the resultant rapid specific capacity decay, the nanocrystallization and compound strategies are proposed to construct hierarchically assembled structures with different morphologies and functions, which develop novel energy storage devices at nano/micro scale. The introduction of assembly strategies in the preparation process of silicon-based materials can integrate the advantages of both nanoscale and microstructures, which significantly enhance the comprehensive performance of the prepared silicon-based assemblies. Unfortunately, the summary and understanding of assembly are still lacking. In this review, the understanding of assembly is deepened in terms of driving forces, methods, influencing factors and advantages. The recent research progress of silicon-based assembled anodes and the mechanism of the functional advantages for assembled structures are reviewed from the aspects of spatial confinement, layered construction, fasciculate structure assembly, superparticles, and interconnected assembly strategies. Various feasible strategies for structural assembly and performance improvement are pointed out. Finally, the challenges and integrated improvement strategies for assembled silicon-based anodes are summarized.

Abstract
Metallic Na (K) are considered a promising anode materials for Na-metal and K-metal batteries because of their high theoretical capacity, low electrode potential, and abundant resources. However, the uncontrolled growth of Na (K) dendrites severely damages the stability of the electrode/electrolyte interface, resulting in battery failure. Herein, a heterogeneous interface layer consisting of metal vanadium nanoparticles and sodium sulfide (potassium sulfide) is introduced on the surface of a Na (K) foil (i.e., Na2 S/V/Na or K2 S/V/K). Experimental studies and theoretical calculations indicate that a heterogeneous Na2 S/V (K2 S/V) protective layer can effectively improve Na (K)-ion adsorption and diffusion kinetics, inhibiting the growth of Na (K) dendrites during Na (K) plating/stripping. Based on the novel design of the heterogeneous layer, the symmetric Na2 S/V/Na cell displays a long lifespan of over 1000 h in a carbonate-based electrolyte, and the K2 S/V/K electrode can operate for over 1300 h at 0.5 mA cm-2 with a capacity of 0.5 mAh cm-2 . Moreover, the Na full cell (Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 ||Na2 S/V/Na) exhibits a high energy density of 375 Wh kg-1 and a high power density of 23.5 kW kg-1 . The achievements support the development of heterogeneous protective layers for other high-energy-density metal batteries.

Abstract
Efficient electrode materials, that combine high power and high energy, are the crucial requisites of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which have unwrapped new possibilities in the areas of grid-scale energy storage. Hard carbons (HCs) are considered as the leading candidate anode materials for SIBs, however, the primary challenge of slow charge-transfer kinetics at the low potential region (<0.1 V) remains unresolved till date, and the underlying structure-performance correlation is under debate. Herein, ultrafast sodium storage in the whole-voltage-region (0.01-2 V), with the Na+ diffusion coefficient enhanced by 2 orders of magnitude (≈10-7 cm2 s-1 ) through rationally deploying the physical parameters of HCs using a ZnO-assisted bulk etching strategy is reported. It is unveiled that the Na+ adsorption energy (Ea ) and diffusion barrier (Eb ) are in a positive and negative linear relationship with the carbon p-band center, respectively, and balance of Ea and Eb is critical in enhancing the charge-storage kinetics. The charge-storage mechanism in HCs is evidenced through comprehensive in(ex) situ techniques. The as prepared HCs microspheres deliver a record high rate performance of 107 mAh g-1 @ 50 A g-1 and unprecedented electrochemical performance at extremely low temperature (426 mAh g-1 @ -40 °C).

Abstract
Recent efforts have observed nanoscaled chemical short-range order in bulk high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Simultaneously inspired with the nanostructuring technology, HEA nanoparticles (NPs) with complete chemical order may be achieved. Herein, structurally ordered HEA (OHEA) NPs are constructed on a novel 2D nitrogen-rich mesoporous carbon sandwich framework (OHEA-mNC) by combining a ligand-assisted interfacial assembly with NH3 annealing. Characterization results show that the resultant materials possess an ultrathin 2D nanosheet structure with large mesopores (≈10 nm), where structurally ordered HEA NPs with an L12 phase are homogeneously dispersed. The atom-resolved chemical analyses explicitly determine the location of each atomic site. When being evaluated for the oxygen reduction reaction, the OHEA-mNC NPs afford a greatly enhanced catalytic performance, including a large half-wave potential (0.90 eV) and a high durability (0.01 V decay after 10 000 cycles) compared with the disordered HEA and commercial Pt/C catalysts. The excellent performance is attributed to the enhanced mass transfer rate, improved electron conductivity, and the presence of the stable chemically ordered HEA phase, as revealed by both the experimental results and theoretical calculation. This study suggests a highly feasible process to achieve structurally ordered HEA NPs with advanced mesoporous function in the electrochemical field.

Abstract
The lithium metal anode (LMA) is regarded as a very promising candidate for next-generation lithium batteries. The interfacial issue plays a pivotal role in affecting the lithium plating/stripping behavior, Coulombic efficiency and cycling lifespan of an LMA. The lithium reduction reaction (LRR) is an advanced regulating technique for optimizing the LMA interphase, which intelligently utilizes lithium metal itself as an interphase precursor. This strategy also possesses moderate operating conditions, high efficiency, great convenience and scalability. In this review, the latest developments of LRRs in interfacial regulation for LMAs are summarized, focusing on the interfacial regulation mechanism and the construction of various inorganic/organic interfaces in lithium metal liquid/solid batteries. The target interface properties and corresponding influence factors during LRRs are investigated in detail. Besides this, the superiority and insufficiency of LRRs are discussed and possible directions for LRRs are presented. This review highlights in situ modification characteristics for anode interface regulation during the LRR and can be extended to other metal anodes such as sodium, potassium and zinc.

Abstract
The shuttling of soluble lithium polysulfides between the electrodes leads to serious capacity fading and excess use of electrolyte, which severely bottlenecks practical use of Li-S batteries. Here, selective catalysis is proposed as a fundamental remedy for the consecutive solid-liquid-solid sulfur redox reactions. The proof-of-concept Indium (In)-based catalyst targetedly decelerates the solid-liquid conversion, dissolution of elemental sulfur to polysulfides, while accelerates the liquid-solid conversion, deposition of polysulfides into insoluble Li2 S, which basically reduces accumulation of polysulfides in electrolyte, finally inhibiting the shuttle effect. The selective catalysis is revealed, experimentally and theoretically, by changes of activation energies and kinetic currents, modified reaction pathway together with the probed dynamically changing catalyst (LiInS2 catalyst), and gradual deactivation of the In-based catalyst. The In-based battery works steadily over 1000 cycles at 4.0 C and yields an initial areal capacity up to 9.4 mAh cm-2 with a sulfur loading of ≈9.0 mg cm-2 .
