Abstract
Transition metal compounds are a promising substitute for graphite as lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes. In this study, mesocrystalline Mn2O3/TiO2 and MnTiO3/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized using a layered titanic acid H1.07Ti1.73O4 (HTO) precursor. The β-MnOOH layer is intercalated into the interlayer of HTO by Mn2+-exchange treatment of H2O2-intercalated HTO, which includes ion-exchange of Mn2+ with H+ in the interlayer and oxidation of Mn2+ to the β-MnOOH layer by H2O2 in the interlayer space. Mesocrystalline Mn2O3/TiO2 and MnTiO3/TiO2 nanocomposites with a platelike morphology were obtained by heat treatment of a sandwich layered HTO/β-MnOOH under air and H2/Ar atmospheres, respectively. The electrochemical results suggest that the mesocrystalline Mn2O3/TiO2 and MnTiO3/TiO2 nanocomposites show a synergistic effect for enhanced cycling stability and a mesocrystalline effect for enhanced discharge-charge specific capacity by improving the Li+ mobility and enhancing the pseudocapacitance of the mesocrystalline nanocomposites as LIB anode materials. The discharge-charge specific capacity of the mesocrystalline Mn2O3/TiO2 nanocomposite is twice as high as that of the polycrystalline one caused by the mesocrystalline effect. Furthermore, the synergistic and mesocrystalline effects led to a stable large discharge-charge specific capacity of 710 mA h g-1 for the mesocrystalline Mn2O3/TiO2 nanocomposite. This work proposes a new concept to enhance the performance of anode materials for LIBs using mesocrystalline materials.

Abstract
Detection sensitivity of an electrochemical immunosensor mainly depends on the accessible distance toward the sensing interface; regulating the electrochemical interfacial region thereon is an effective strategy for signal amplification. Herein, a photothermal-regulated sensing interface was designed based on a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive hydrogel probe for ultrasensitive detection of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4). Silver nanoparticle-deposited graphene oxide nanosheet (AgNPs@GO) hybrids as electrochemical signal tags and a photothermal transducer, which were encapsulated in the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) hydrogel, were used to develop the NIR-responsive GO@AgNPs-pNIPAM hydrogel probe. Under NIR light irradiation, the excellent photothermal effect of AgNPs@GO hybrids not only rapidly converted NIR light into heat for temperature readout but also triggered the shrinkage behavior of the hydrogel for electrochemical signal amplification. Compared with the conventional sandwich immunoassay, the shrinkage behavior of the hydrogel signal probe endowed itself with interface regulation capability to improve the electrochemical reaction efficiency; on the basis of ensuring the extended outer Helmholtz plane (OHP) region, the proposed photothermal-induced interface regulation also shortened the OHP, leading to higher sensitivity. Moreover, the obtained dual-mode signals provided satisfactory accuracy for the detection of tumor markers. Therefore, this detection scheme provided an opportunity for the broad applications of the photothermal effect in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 architectures have attracted significant attention recently as they can improve the electrochemical stability and realize the full potential of TiO2-based anodes in lithium ion batteries. Here, flower-like rutile TiO2 spheres with radially assembled nanorods (c-channels) were fabricated via a simple hydrothermal method. The 3D radial architecture affords massive active sites to fortify the lithium storage. Moreover, the presence of c-channels facilitates electrolyte infiltration and offers facile pathways for efficient Li+ transport. As a result, this flower-like rutile TiO2 anode gives significantly enhanced specific capacities (615 mA h g-1 at 1 C and 386 mA h g-1 at 2 C after 400 cycles) and a superior long-term cyclability (up to 10 000 cycles with a specific capacity of 67 mA h g-1 at 100 C). Kinetic analysis reveals that the enhanced diffusion-controlled and surface capacitive storage leads to the excellent electrochemical behavior. This work not only exhibits the enormous advantages of 3D architectures with c-channels, but also provides access to structural design and crystal phase selection for TiO2-based anode materials.

Abstract
The grain aggregation engendered kinetics failure is regarded as the main reason for the electrochemical decay of nanosized anode materials. Herein, we proposed a dual immobilization strategy to suppress the migration and aggregation of SnOx nanoparticles and corresponding lithiation products through constructing SnOx/TiO2@PC composites. The N-doped carbon could anchor the tin oxide particles and inhibit their aggregation during the preparation process, leading to a uniform distribution of ultrafine SnOx nanoparticles in the matrix. Meanwhile, the incorporated TiO2 component works as parclose to suppress the migration and coarsening of SnOx and corresponding lithiation products. In addition, the N-doped carbon and TiO2/LixTiO2 can significantly improve the electrical and ionic conductivities of the composites, enabling a good diffusion and charge-transfer dynamics. Owing to the dual immobilization from the "synergistic effect" of N-doped carbon and the "parclose effect" of TiO2, the conversion reaction of SnOx remains fully reversible throughout the cycling. Thereby, the composites exhibit excellent cycling performance in half cells and can be fully utilized in full cells. This work may provide an inspiration for the rational design of tin-based anodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Particular recent interest has been given to the Li2TiSiO5 (LTSO) anode material owing to its low lithiation potential (0.28 V vs. Li/Li+) and decent theoretical capacity (308 mA h g-1). However, its poor electronic conductivity (∼10-7 S m-1) fundamentally limits the utilization of this material, and current strategies fail to tackle such issues in practical ways. Herein, a hierarchical microparticulate LTSO-carbon composite (LTSO/C) is fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), where microsized LTSO/C particles assembled from nanospheres guarantee a practical tap density of ∼1.3 g mL-1. Meanwhile, significantly elevated conductivity of LTSO/C (∼103 S m-1) is achieved by a thin layer (15 nm) of graphitic carbon growth on LTSO, which is theoretically catalyzed by the surface functional groups on the parent LTSO. The electrochemical characterization of LTSO/C reveals a superior graphite-like volumetric capacity of 441.1 mA h cm-3 and Li4Ti5O12-like rate capability (120.1 mA h cm-3 at 4.5 A g-1), providing inspiring guidance for designing analogous Ti or Si-based compounds for ultrafast lithium storage materials.

Abstract
An impedimetric immunoassay was designed for ultrasensitive determination of zearalenone (ZEN). It is making use of the peroxidase-like activity of strip-shaped Co3O4 (ssCo3O4) which catalyzes the oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol to produce an insoluble precipitate in the presence of H2O2. The precipitate is electrically nonconductive and accumulates on the electrode, thereby retarding the electron transfer from the redox probe ferro/ferricyanide to the surface of electrode. This amplifies the impedimetric signal in accordance with logarithm of the concentration of ZEN. The electrode was further modified with TiO2 mesocrystals (TiO2 MCs) which improve the capture of more analytes and increase the performance of the immunoassay. Under optimized experimental condition, the impedimetric signal increased linearly with the logarithm of the ZEN concentration range between 0.1 fg·mL-1 to 10 pg·mL-1. The detection limit is of 33 ag· mL-1. Graphical abstractThis work describes an impedimetric immunoassay based on the use of strip-shaped Co3O4 that catalyzes the production of an insoluble precipitate in the presence of H2O2 on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. The effect was used for signal amplification in an electrochemical immunoassay for zearalenone.

Abstract
Hierarchical TiO2 superstructures with desired architectures and intriguing physico-chemical properties are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for solving the serious issues related to global energy exhaustion as well as environmental deterioration via the well-known photocatalytic process. In particular, TiO2 mesocrystals, which are built from TiO2 nanocrystal building blocks in the same crystallographical orientation, have attracted intensive research interest in the area of photocatalysis owing to their distinctive structural properties such as high crystallinity, high specific surface area, and single-crystal-like nature. The deeper understanding of TiO2 mesocrystals-based photocatalysis is beneficial for developing new types of photocatalytic materials with multiple functionalities. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the recent advances toward fabricating and modifying TiO2 mesocrystals is provided, with special focus on the underlying mesocrystallization mechanism and controlling rules. The potential applications of as-synthesized TiO2 mesocrystals in photocatalysis are then discussed to shed light on the structure–performance relationships, thus guiding the development of highly efficient TiO2 mesocrystal-based photocatalysts for certain applications. Finally, the prospects of future research on TiO2 mesocrystals in photocatalysis are briefly highlighted.

Abstract
Energy production and storage technologies have attracted a great deal of attention for day-to-day applications. In recent decades, advances in lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology have improved living conditions around the globe. LIBs are used in most mobile electronic devices as well as in zero-emission electronic vehicles. However, there are increasing concerns regarding load leveling of renewable energy sources and the smart grid as well as the sustainability of lithium sources due to their limited availability and consequent expected price increase. Therefore, whether LIBs alone can satisfy the rising demand for small- and/or mid-to-large-format energy storage applications remains unclear. To mitigate these issues, recent research has focused on alternative energy storage systems. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as the best candidate power sources because sodium is widely available and exhibits similar chemistry to that of LIBs; therefore, SIBs are promising next-generation alternatives. Recently, sodiated layer transition metal oxides, phosphates and organic compounds have been introduced as cathode materials for SIBs. Simultaneously, recent developments have been facilitated by the use of select carbonaceous materials, transition metal oxides (or sulfides), and intermetallic and organic compounds as anodes for SIBs. Apart from electrode materials, suitable electrolytes, additives, and binders are equally important for the development of practical SIBs. Despite developments in electrode materials and other components, there remain several challenges, including cell design and electrode balancing, in the application of sodium ion cells. In this article, we summarize and discuss current research on materials and propose future directions for SIBs. This will provide important insights into scientific and practical issues in the development of SIBs.
