Abstract
2D conjugated covalent organic frameworks (c-COFs) provide an attractive foundation as organic electrodes in energy storage devices, but their storage capability is long hindered by limited ion accessibility within densely π-π stacked interlayers. Herein, two kinds of 2D c-COFs based on dioxin and dithiine linkages are reported, which exhibit distinct in-plane configurations-fully planar and undulated layers. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals wavy square-planar networks in dithiine-bridged COF (COF-S), attributed to curved C─S─C bonds in the dithiine linkage, whereas dioxin-bridged COF (COF-O) features densely packed fully planar layers. Theoretical and experimental results elucidate that the undulated stacking within COF-S possesses an expanded layer distance of 3.8 Å and facilitates effective and rapid Li+ storage, yielding a superior specific capacity of 1305 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, surpassing that of COF-O (1180 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1). COF-S also demonstrates an admirable cycle life with 80.4% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. As determined, self-expanded wavy-stacking geometry, S-enriched dithiine in COF-S enhances the accessibility and redox activity of Li storage, allowing each phthalocyanine core to store 12 Li+ compared to 8 Li+ in COF-O. These findings underscore the elements and stacking modes of 2D c-COFs, enabling tunable layer distance and modulation of accessible ions.

Abstract
Li-ion batteries stand out among energy storage systems due to their higher energy and power density, cycle life, and high-rate performance. Development of advanced, high-capacity anodes is essential for enhancing their performance, safety, and durability, and recently, two-dimensional materials have garnered extensive attention in this regard due to distinct properties, particularly their ability to modulate van der Waals gap through intercalation. Covalently intercalated Graphene oxide interlayer galleries with mono-Boc-ethylenediamine (GO-EnBoc) was synthesized via the ring opening of epoxide, forming an amino alcohol moiety. This creates three coordination sites for Li ion exchange on the graphene oxide nanosheets' surface. Consequently, the interlayer d-spacing expands from 8.47 Å to 13.17 Å, as anticipated. When explored as an anode, Li-GO-EnBoc shows a significant enhancement in the stable and reversible capacity of 270 mA h g-1 at a current density of 25 mA g-1 compared to GO (80 mA h g-1), without compromising the mechanical or chemical stability. Through 13C, 7Li and 6Li MAS NMR, XPS, IR, Raman microscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we confirm the positioning of Li+ ions at multiple sites of the interlayer gallery, which enhances the electrochemical performance. Our findings suggest that these novel systematically modulated van der Waals gap GO-engineered materials hold promise as efficient anodes for Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Seawater batteries that directly utilize natural seawater as electrolytes are ideal sustainable aqueous devices with high safety, exceedingly low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the present seawater batteries are either primary batteries or rechargeable half-seawater/half-nonaqueous batteries because of the lack of suitable anode working in seawater. Here, a unique lattice engineering to unlock the electrochemically inert anatase TiO2 anode to be highly active for the reversible uptake of multiple cations (Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+) in aqueous electrolytes is demonstrated. Density functional theory calculations further reveal the origin of the unprecedented charge storage behaviors, which can be attributed to the significant reduction of the cations diffusion barrier within the lattice, i.e., from 1.5 to 0.4 eV. As a result, the capacities of anatase TiO2 with 2.4% lattice expansion are ≈100 times higher than the routine one in natural seawater, and ≈200 times higher in aqueous Na+ electrolyte. The finding will significantly advance aqueous seawater energy storage devices closer to practical applications.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with high-voltage nickel-rich cathodes show great potential as energy storage devices due to their exceptional capacity and power density. However, the detrimental parasitic side reactions at the cathode electrolyte interface result in rapid capacity decay. Herein, a polymerizable electrolyte additive, pyrrole-1-propionic acid (PA), which can be in situ electrochemically polymerized on the cathode surface and involved in forming cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) film during cycling is proposed. The formed CEI film prevents the formation of microcracks in LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) secondary particles and mitigates parasitic reactions. Additionally, the COO- anions of PA promote the acceleration of Li+ transport from cathode particles and increase charging rates. The Li||NCM811 batteries with PA in the electrolyte exhibit a high capacity retention of 83.83% after 200 cycles at 4.3 V, and maintain 80.88% capacity after 150 cycles at 4.6 V. This work provides an effective strategy for enhancing interface stability of high-voltage nickel-rich cathodes by forming stable CEI film.

Abstract
The confinement effect, restricting materials within nano/sub-nano spaces, has emerged as an innovative approach for fundamental research in diverse application fields, including chemical engineering, membrane separation, and catalysis. This confinement principle recently presents fresh perspectives on addressing critical challenges in rechargeable batteries. Within spatial confinement, novel microstructures and physiochemical properties have been raised to promote the battery performance. Nevertheless, few clear definitions and specific reviews are available to offer a comprehensive understanding and guide for utilizing the confinement effect in batteries. This review aims to fill this gap by primarily summarizing the categorization of confinement effects across various scales and dimensions within battery systems. Subsequently, the strategic design of confinement environments is proposed to address existing challenges in rechargeable batteries. These solutions involve the manipulation of the physicochemical properties of electrolytes, the regulation of electrochemical activity, and stability of electrodes, and insights into ion transfer mechanisms. Furthermore, specific perspectives are provided to deepen the foundational understanding of the confinement effect for achieving high-performance rechargeable batteries. Overall, this review emphasizes the transformative potential of confinement effects in tailoring the microstructure and physiochemical properties of electrode materials, highlighting their crucial role in designing novel energy storage devices.

Abstract
The structure tuning of bulk graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a critical way to promote the charge carriers dynamics for enhancing photocatalytic H2-evolution activity. Exploring feasible post-treatment strategies can lead to effective structure tuning, but it still remains a great challenge. Herein, a supercritical CH3OH (ScMeOH) post-treatment strategy (250-300 °C, 8.1-11.8 MPa) is developed for the structure tuning of bulk g-C3N4. This strategy presented advantages of time-saving (less than 10 min), high yield (over 80%), and scalability due to the enhanced mass transfer and high reactivity of ScMeOH. During the ScMeOH post-treatment process, CH3OH molecules diffused into the interlayers of g-C3N4 and subsequently participated in N-methylation and hydroxylation reactions with the intralayers, resulting in a partial phase transformation from g-C3N4 into carbon nitride with a poly(heptazine imide)-like structure (Q-PHI) as well as abundant methyl and hydroxyl groups. The modified g-C3N4 showed enhanced photocatalytic activity with an H2-evolution rate 7.2 times that of pristine g-C3N4, which was attributed to the synergistic effects of the g-C3N4/Q-PHI isotype heterojunction construction, group modulation, and surface area increase. This work presents a post-treatment strategy for structure tuning of bulk g-C3N4 and serves as a case for the application of supercritical fluid technology in photocatalyst synthesis.

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
Transition metal oxides with high theoretical capacities are promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the sluggish reaction kinetics remain a bottleneck for fast-charging applications due to its slow Li+ migration rate. Herein, a strategy is reported of significantly reducing the Li+ diffusion barrier of amorphous vanadium oxide by constructing a specific ratio of the VO local polyhedron configuration in amorphous nanosheets. The optimized amorphous vanadium oxide nanosheets with a ratio ≈1:4 for octahedron sites (Oh ) to pyramidal sites (C4v ) revealed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) demonstrate the highest rate capability (356.7 mA h g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 ) and long-term cycling life (455.6 mA h g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 over 1200 cycles). Density functional theory (DFT)calculations further verify that the local structure (Oh :C4v = 1:4) intrinsically changes the degree of orbital hybridization between V and O atoms and contributes to a higher intensity of electron occupied states near the Fermi level, thus resulting in a low Li+ diffusion barrier for favorable Li+ transport kinetics. Moreover, the amorphous vanadium oxide nanosheets possess a reversible VO vibration mode and volume expansion rate close to 0.3%, as determined through in situ Raman and in situ transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract
The development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is still facing challenges due to the design and optimization of anode materials and their Li-ion storage mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to address this issue by constructing three-dimensional hierarchical heterojunction structures using a double needle electrospinning strategy. The heterostructure was composed of insertion-type Li3VO4 and conversion/alloying-type Ga2O3 embedded porous carbon nanofibers (Li3VO4-Ga2O3@PCNF). The designed heterostructured Ga2O3 and Li3VO4 materials were found to effectively enhance charge transfer dynamics, thereby improving capacity and rate capability. Additionally, the facilitated efficient contact between the electrode and electrolyte, enabling the diffusion of ions and electrons. When applied as an anode material in LIBs, the Li3VO4-Ga2O3@PCNF composite achieved a high capacity of 630.0 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, and full capacity recovery after 6 periods of rate testing over 480 cycles. When simulating the practical application under a high discharge current of 6.0 A g-1, the Li3VO4-Ga2O3@PCNF could still deliver a high discharge capacity of 322.0 mA h g-1 after 2000 cycles. Furthermore, the composite exhibited a remarkable capacity retention of 77.2% after 2000 cycles at 6.0 A g-1. This research provides valuable guidance for the design of high-performance Li3VO4-based anodes, particularly in addressing the issue of inferior electronic conductivity.

Abstract
To better satisfy the increasing demands for electric vehicles, it is crucial to develop fast-charging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the fast-charging capability of commercial graphite anodes is limited by the sluggish Li+ insertion kinetics. Herein, we report a synergistic engineering of uniform nano-sized T-Nb2 O5 particles on graphite (Gr@Nb2 O5 ) with C-O-Nb heterointerfaces, which prevents the growth and aggregation of T-Nb2 O5 nanoparticles. Through detailed theoretical calculations and pair distribution function analysis, the stable existence of the heterointerfaces is proved, which can accelerate the electron/ion transport. These heterointerfaces endow Gr@Nb2 O5 anodes with high ionic conductivity and excellent structural stability. Consequently, Gr@10-Nb2 O5 anode, where the mass ratio of T-Nb2 O5 /graphite=10/100, exhibits excellent cyclic stability and incredible rate capabilities, with 100.5 mAh g-1 after 10000 stable cycles at an ultrahigh rate of 20 C. In addition, the synergistic Li+ storage mechanism is revealed by systematic electrochemical characterizations and in situ X-ray diffraction. This work offers new insights to the reasonable design of fast-charging graphite-based anodes for the next generation of LIBs.

Abstract
The emergence and development of thick electrodes provide an efficient way for the high-energy-density supercapacitor design. Wood is a kind of biomass material with porous hierarchical structure, which has the characteristics of a straight channel, uniform pore structure, good mechanical strength, and easy processing. The wood-inspired low-tortuosity and vertically aligned channel architecture are highly suitable for the construction of thick electrochemical supcapacitor electrodes with high energy densities. This review summarizes the design concepts and processing parameters of thick electrode supercapacitors inspired by natural woods, including wood-based pore structural design regulation, electric double layer capacitances (EDLCs)/pseudocapacitance construction, and electrical conductivity optimization. In addition, the optimization strategies for preparing thick electrodes with wood-like structures (e.g., 3D printing, freeze-drying, and aligned-low tortuosity channels) are also discussed in detail. Further, this review presents current challenges and future trends in the design of thick electrodes for supercapacitors with wood-inspired pore structures. As a guideline, the brilliant blueprint optimization will promote sustainable development of wood-inspired structure design for thick electrodes and broaden the application scopes.

Abstract
Graphene has long been recognized as a potential anode for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The past decade has witnessed the rapid advancement of graphene anodes, and considerable breakthroughs are achieved so far. In this review, the aim is to provide a research roadmap of graphene anodes toward practical LIBs. The Li storage mechanism of graphene is started with and then the approaches to improve its electrochemical performance are comprehensively summarized. First, morphologically engineered graphene anodes with porous, spheric, ribboned, defective and holey structures display improved capacity and rate performance owing to their highly accessible surface area, interconnected diffusion channels, and sufficient active sites. Surface-modified graphene anodes with less aggregation, fast electrons/ions transportation, and optimal solid electrolyte interphase are discussed, demonstrating the close connection between the surface structure and electrochemical activity of graphene. Second, graphene derivatives anodes prepared by heteroatom doping and covalent functionalization are outlined, which show great advantages in boosting the Li storage performances because of the additionally introduced defect/active sites for further Li accommodation. Furthermore, binder-free and free-standing graphene electrodes are presented, exhibiting great prospects for high-energy-density and flexible LIBs. Finally, the remaining challenges and future opportunities of practically available graphene anodes for advanced LIBs are highlighted.

Abstract
Fast ion diffusion in anode hosts enabling uniform distribution of Li/Na/K is essential for achieving dendrite-free alkali-metal batteries. Common strategies, e.g. expanding the interlayer spacing of anode materials, can enhance bulk diffusion of Li but are less efficient for Na and K due to their larger ionic radius. Herein, a universal strategy to drastically improve the mass-transport efficiency of Na/K by introducing open mesochannels in carbon hosts is proposed. Such pore engineering can increase the accessible surface area by one order of magnitude, thus remarkably accelerating surface diffusion, as visualized by in situ transmission electron microscopy. In particular, once the mesochannels are filled by the Na/K metals, they become the superfast channels for mass transport via the mechanism of interfacial diffusion. Thus-modified carbon hosts enable Na/K filling in their inner cavities and uniform deposition across the whole electrodes with fast kinetics. The resulting Na-metal anodes can exhibit stable dendrite-free cycling with outstanding rate performance at a high current density of up to 30 mA cm-2 . This work presents an inspiring attempt to address the sluggish transport issue of Na/K, as well as valuable insights into the mass-transport mechanism in porous anodes for high-performance alkali-metal storage.

Abstract
Although heteroatom doping and pore management separately influence the Li+ adsorption and Li+ diffusion properties, respectively, merging their functions into a single unit is intriguing and has not been fully investigated. Herein, we have successfully incorporated both heteroatom doping and pore management within the same functional unit of N4-vacancy motifs, which is realized via acid etching of formamide-derived Zn-N4-functionalized carbon materials (Zn1NC). The N4-vacancy-rich porous carbon (V-NC) renders multiple merits: (1) a high N content of 13.94 atom % for large Li-storage capacity, (2) edged unsaturated N sites favoring highly efficient Li+ adsorption and desolvation, and (3) a shortening of the Li+ diffusion length through N4 vacancy, thereby enhancing the Li-storage kinetics and high-rate performance. This work serves as an inspiration for the creation of heteroatom-edged porous structures with controllable pore sizes for high-rate alkali-ion battery applications.
