Abstract
Transition metal oxide nanocomposites with heterostructures have gained a lot of attention for use in supercapacitors owing to their low cost, high surface area, fast transport of ions and electrons and high specific capacitance due to efficacious interplay between the electrode and the electrolytes. In this study, we fabricated tri-metallic Cu, Mn, Ni(CMNO), bi-metallic Mn, Ni(MNO) and mono-metallic Ni(NO) oxides through a facile hydrothermal route. All the fabricated materials were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), and their electrochemical properties were studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD). The CMNO material showed remarkable electrochemical performance with a specific capacitance of 790.63 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1, surpassing the performance of MNO (438.4 F g-1) and NO (290.82 F g-1). Furthermore, CMNO showed high cycling stability with a retention of 96.7% specific capacitance after 8000 cycles. Based on remarkable and unique properties, the CMNO material is regarded as a promising material for new-generation pseudo-capacitor applications.

Abstract
Heterogeneous electrode materials possess abundant heterointerfaces with a localized "space charge effect", which enhances capacity output and accelerates mass/charge transfer dynamics in energy storage devices (ESDs). These promising features open new possibilities for demanding applications such as electric vehicles, grid energy storage, and portable electronics. However, the fundamental principles and working mechanisms that govern heterointerfaces are not yet fully understood, impeding the rational design of electrode materials. In this study, the heterointerface evolution during charging and discharging process as well as the intricate interaction between heterointerfaces and charge/mass transport phenomena, is systematically discussed. Guidelines along with feasible strategies for engineering structural heterointerfaces to address specific challenges encountered in various application scenarios, are also provided. This review offers innovative solutions for the development of heterogeneous electrode materials, enabling more efficient energy storage beyond conventional electrochemistry. Furthermore, it provides fresh insights into the advancement of clean energy conversion and storage technologies. This review contributes to the knowledge and understanding of heterointerfaces, paving the way for the design and optimization of next-generation energy storage materials for a sustainable future.

Thermodynamic Origin-Based In Situ Electrochemical Construction of Reversible p-n Heterojunctions for Optimal Stability in Potassium Ion Storage. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2308582. [PMID: 38477538 PMCID: PMC11109633 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202308582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Heterojunctions in electrode materials offer diverse improvements during the cycling process of energy storage devices, such as volume change buffering, accelerated ion/electron transfer, and better electrode structure integrity, however, obtaining optimal heterostructures with nanoscale domains remains challenging within constrained materials. A novel in situ electrochemical method is introduced to develop a reversible CuSe/PSe p-n heterojunction (CPS-h) from Cu3PSe4 as starting material, targeting maximum stability in potassium ion storage. The CPS-h formation is thermodynamically favorable, characterized by its superior reversibility, minimized diffusion barriers, and enhanced conversion post K+ interaction. Within CPS-h, the synergy of the intrinsic electric field and P-Se bonds enhance electrode stability, effectively countering the Se shuttling phenomenon. The specific orientation between CuSe and PSe leads to a 35° lattice mismatch generates large space at the interface, promoting efficient K ion migration. The Mott-Schottky analysis validates the consistent reversibility of CPS-h, underlining its electrochemical reliability. Notably, CPS-h demonstrates a negligible 0.005% capacity reduction over 10,000 half-cell cycles and remains stable through 2,000 and 4,000 cycles in full cells and hybrid capacitors, respectively. This study emphasizes the pivotal role of electrochemical dynamics in formulating highly stable p-n heterojunctions, representing a significant advancement in potassium-ion battery (PIB) electrode engineering.

Abstract
Metal sulfides have been considered promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to their high capacity. However, the poor cycle stability induced by the sluggish kinetics and poor structural stability hampers their practical application in LIBs. In this work, MoS2/MnS/SnS trimetallic sulfides heterostructure coated with N-doped carbon nanorods (MMSS@NC) is designed through a simple method involving co-precipitation, metal chelate-assisted reaction, and in-situ sulfurization method. In such designed MMSS@NC, a synergetic effect of heterojunctions and carbon layer is simultaneously constructed, which can significantly improve ionic and electronic diffusion kinetics, as well as maintain the structural stability of MMSS@NC during the repeated lithiation/delithiation process. When applied as anode materials for LIBs, the MMSS@NC composite shows superior long-term cycle performance (1145.0 mAh/g after 1100 cycles at 1.0 A/g), as well as excellent rate performance (565.3 mAh/g at 5.0 A/g). This work provides a unique strategy for the construction of multiple metal sulfide anodes for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
The 2H-MoS2/nitrogen-doped carbon (2H-MoS2/NC) composite is a promising anode material for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Various transition metal doping has been adopted to optimize the poor intrinsic electronic conductivity and lack of active sites in the intralayer of 2H-MoS2. However, its optimization mechanisms have not been well probed. In this paper, using Cobalt (Co) as an example, we aim to investigate the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2H-MoS2/NC via first-principles calculation. Co doping is found to be effective in improving the electronic conductivity and the areas of active sites on different positions (C surface, interface, and MoS2 surface) of 2H-MoS2/NC. The increased active sites can optimize K adsorption and diffusion capability/processes, where general smaller K adsorption energies and diffusion energy barriers are found after Co doping. This helps improve the rate performance. Especially, the pyridinic N (pyN), pyrrolic N (prN), and graphitic N (grN) are first unveiled to respectively work best in K kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability. These findings are instructive to experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials. The roles of different N types provide new ideas for optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Abstract
The exploration of cost-effective multifunctional electrodes with high activity toward energy storage and conversion systems, such as self-powered alkaline water electrolysis, is very meaningful, although studies remain quite limited. Herein, a heterogeneous nickel-molybdenum (NiMo)-based electrode is fabricated for the first time as a trifunctional electrode for asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC), hydrogen evolution reaction, and oxygen evolution reaction. The trifunctional electrode consists of Ni4 Mo and MoO2 (denoted Ni4 Mo/MoO2 ) with hierarchical nanorod heterostructure and abundant heterogeneous nanointerfaces creating sufficient active sites and efficient charge transfer for achieving high performance self-power electrochemical devices. The ASC consists of the as-prepared Ni4 Mo/MoO2 positive electrode, showing a broad potential window of 1.6 V, and a maximum energy density of 115.6 Wh kg-1 , while the alkaline overall water splitting (OWS) assembled using the as-prepared Ni4 Mo/MoO2 as bifunctional catalysts only requires a low cell voltage of 1.48 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in aqueous alkaline electrolyte. Finally, by integrating the Ni4 Mo/MoO2 -based ASC and OWS devices, an aqueous self-powered OWS is assembled, which self-power the OWS to generate hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, verifying great potential of the as-prepared Ni4 Mo/MoO2 for sustainable and renewable energy storage and conversion system.

Abstract
It is indispensable to develop and design high capacity, high rate performance, long cycling life, and low-cost electrodes materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, MoO2 /MoS2 /C, with dual heterogeneous interfaces, is designed to induce a built-in electric field, which has been proved by experiments and theoretical calculation can accelerate electrochemical reaction kinetics and generate interfacial interactions to strengthen structural stability. The carbon foam serves as a conductive frame to assist the movement of electrons/ions, as well as forms heterogeneous interfaces with MoO2 /MoS2 through CS and CO bonds, maintaining structural integrity and enhancing electronic transport. Thanks to these unique characteristics, the MoO2 /MoS2 /C renders a significantly enhanced electrochemical performance (324 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles for SIB and 500 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 500 cycles for LIBs). The current work presents a simple, useful and cost-effective route to design high-quality electrodes via interfacial engineering.
