Abstract
Nowadays, solid electrolytes are considered the main alternative to conventional liquid electrolytes in lithium batteries. The fabrication of these materials is however limited by the strict synthesis conditions, requiring high temperatures which can negatively impact the final performances. Here, it is shown that a modification of garnet-based Li7 La3 Zr2 O12 (LLZO) and the incorporation of tellurium can accelerate the synthesis process by lowering the formation temperature of cubic LLZO at temperatures below 700 °C. Optimized synthesis at 750 °C showed a decrease in particle size and cell parameter for samples with higher amounts of Te and the evaluation of electrochemical performances reported for LLZO Te0.25 a value of ionic conductivity of 5,15×10-5 S cm-1 after hot-pressing at 700 °C, two orders of magnitude higher than commercial Al-LLZO undergoing the same working conditions, and the highest value at this densification temperature. Partial segregation of Te-rich phases occurs for high-temperature densification. Our study shows the advantages of Te insertion on the sintering process of LLZO garnet and demonstrates the achievement of highly conductive LLZO with a low-temperature treatment.

Abstract
Reasonable design of materials with complex nanostructures and diverse chemical compositions is of great significance in the field of energy storage. Cu7KS4 (CKS) is considered a potential electrode material for supercapacitors due to its superior electrical conductivity. Transition metal hydroxides are widely used as electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their high theoretical specific capacitance (Cs); however, single metal species with limited active sites restrict their further applications for energy storage. Herein, through a hydrothermal reaction, CKS nanorods were prepared, and then binary metal hydroxide NixCo1-x(OH)2 nanosheets were generated directly on CKS nanorods through a one-step hydrothermal reaction to form a nano-core-shell structure (NCSS). By regulating the mole ratio of nickel nitrate to cobalt nitrate, the resulting Ni0.75Co0.25(OH)2 nanosheets with the best electrochemical activity were prepared and supported on CKS nanorods to form a CKS@N0.75C0.25OH NCSS. The as-prepared CKS@N0.75C0.25OH NCSS has a larger specific surface area, which can provide more active sites, while the abundant metal species composition can generate abundant redox reactions to boost the pseudocapacitance. The prepared CKS@N0.75C0.25OH/NF electrode exhibits outstanding specific capacitance and cycle life. The assembled CKS@N0.75C0.25OH/NF//AC all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor achieves a high energy density of 88.7 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 849.9 W kg-1 with superior cycle life. Therefore, the use of polymetallic hydroxides to construct NCSS electrodes has great research significance and broad application prospects.

Abstract
The slow kinetic of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) hampers the practical application of energy conversion devices, such as fuel cells, metal-air batteries. Here, an efficient ORR electrocatalyst consists of Co, Ni co-decorated nitrogen-doped double shell hollow carbon cage (Ni-Co@NHC) was fabricated by pyrolyzing Ni-doped polydopamine wrapped ZIF-67. During the preparation, polydopamine served as a protective layer can effectively prevent the aggregation of Co and Ni nanoparticles during the pyrolysis process, and at the same time forming a carbon layer to grow a double layer carbon cage. This unique hollow structure endows the catalyst with a high specific surface area as well as more exposed active sites. Also benefited from the synergistic effect between Ni and Co nanoparticles, the Ni-Co@NHC catalyst leads to an outstanding ORR performance of half-wave potential (E1/2, 0.862 V), outperforms that of commercial Pt/C catalyst. Additionally, when Ni-Co@NHC was used in the cathode for the zinc-air battery, the cell exhibits high power density (108 mW cm-2) and high specific capacity (806 mAh g-1) at 20 mA cm-2outperforming Pt/C. This work offers a promising design strategy for the development of high-performance ORR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
To obtain a wide variety of green materials, numerous investigations have been undertaken on industrial waste that can act as sustainable resources. The use of hazardous wastes derived from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), especially the activated carbon used in odor control systems, is a highly abundant, scalable, and cost-effective strategy. The reuse of waste materials is a key aspect, especially for the sustainable development of emerging energy storage systems, such as lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Herein, granular active carbons from two WWTP treatment lines were regenerated in air at low temperature and utilized as the sulfur host with micro-/mesoporous framework. The resulting regenerated carbon and sulfur composites were employed as cathodes for Li-S cells. The SL-ACt3@S composite electrode with 60 wt% loaded sulfur exhibited a remarkable initial capacity of 1100 mAh g-1 at C/10 rate and higher than 800 mAh g-1 at C/2. Even at a rate of 1C, it maintained a high capacity of almost 700 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 85.4 % after 350 cycles, demonstrating a very low capacity fading of only 0.042 % per cycle. It is essential to note that the coulombic efficiency was always higher than 96 % during all the cycles. In this proposal, the only used source material was expired carbon from WWTP that was obtained with a simple and effective regeneration process. This "trash into treasure" strategy leads to a new way for using hazardous waste material as high-performance and environmentally safe electrodes for advanced Li-S batteries.
