Abstract
The low cycle performance and low Coulomb efficiency of tin-based materials confine their large-scale commercial application for lithium-ion batteries. To overcome the shortage of volume expansion of pristine tin, Sn-Co alloy/rGO composites have been successfully synthesized by chemical reduction and sintering methods. The effects of sintering temperature on the composition, structure and electrochemical properties of Sn-Co alloy/rGO composites were investigated by experimental study and first-principles calculation. The results show that Sn-Co alloys are composed of a large number of CoSn and trace CoSn2 intermetallics, which are uniformly anchored on graphene nanosheets. The sintering treatment effectively improves the electrochemical performance, especially for the first Coulomb efficiency. The first charge capacity of Sn-Co alloy/rGO composites sintered at 450 °C is 675 mAh·g-1, and the corresponding Coulomb efficiency reaches 80.4%. This strategy provides a convenient approach to synthesizing tin-based materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Advanced battery materials are urgently desirable to meet the rapidly growing demand for portable electronics and power. The development of a high-energy-density anode is essential for the practical application of B3+ batteries as an alternative to Li-ion batteries. Herein, we have investigated the performance of B3+ on monolayer (MG), bilayer (BG), trilayer (TG), and tetralayer (TTG) graphene sheets using first-principles calculations. The findings reveal significant stabilization of the HOMO and the LUMO frontier orbitals of the graphene sheets upon adsorption of B3+ by shifting the energies from -5.085 and -2.242 eV in MG to -20.08 and -19.84 eV in 2B3+@TTG. Similarly, increasing the layers to tetralayer graphitic carbon B3+@TTG_asym and B3+@TTG_sym produced the most favorable and deeper van der Waals interactions. The cell voltages obtained were considerably enhanced, and B3+/B@TTG showed the highest cell voltage of 16.5 V. Our results suggest a novel avenue to engineer graphene anode performance by increasing the number of graphene layers.

Abstract
The air stable tin(IV) complex [Me2Sn{2-SeC5H2(Me-4,6)2N}2] has been synthesized, characterized by NMR, elemental analysis, and single crystal XRD, and employed as a single source molecular precursor (SSP) for the facile synthesis of orthorhombic SnSe nanosheets. The crystal structure, phase purity, morphology and band gap of the nanosheets were investigated by pXRD, EDS, electron microscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy techniques, respectively. It was found that the preferential orientation of planes and the morphology of the nanosheets rely upon the reaction conditions. The band gaps of the nanosheets were blue shifted with respect to the bulk band gap of the material. The synthesized SnSe nanosheets have been employed as an anode material in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The material exhibits an initial specific capacity of 1134 mA h g-1 at a current density of 50 mA g-1 and was found to retain a capacity of 380 mA h g-1 even after 70 cycles with 100% efficiency.

Abstract
Tin chalcogenides are considered as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical lithium-storage capacity. Herein, we have successfully synthesized the composites of tin chalcogenides and graphite, that is, SnS/C, SnSe/C, and SnS0.5Se0.5/C, via a simple one-pot solid-state method. During the electrochemical test, they exhibit excellent lithium-storage ability and cyclic performance as the anode electrodes of LIBs due to the introduction of carbon. In particular, (i) SnS/C displayed a high specific capacity of 875 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 over 200 cycles; (ii) SnSe/C presents 734 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 100 cycles, and it delivers 690 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 over 300 cycles; and (iii) the SnS0.5Se0.5/C composite electrode delivers a specific capacity of 643 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 over 150 cycles. Furthermore, another series of tin-based composites have also been successfully fabricated (i.e., Sn/C, SnS2/C, SnSe2/C, and SnTe/C), showing the general applicability of the synthetic route applied here. Our synthetic approach demonstrates a promising route for the large-scale production of high-performance tin chalcogenides/C anode materials for LIBs and other battery systems (e.g., Na-ion and K-ion batteries).

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have displayed superior performance compared to other types of rechargeable batteries. However, the depleting lithium mineral reserve might be the most discouraging setback for the LIBs technological advancements. Alternative materials are thus desirable to salvage these limitations. Herein, we have investigated using first-principles DFT simulations the role of polypyrrole, PP functionalization in improving the anodic performance of boron nitride nanosheet, BNNS-based lithium-ion batteries and extended the same to sodium, beryllium, and magnesium ion batteries. The HOMO-LUMO energy states were stabilized by the PP functional unit, resulting in a significantly reduced energy gap of the BNNS by 45%, improved electronic properties, and cell reaction kinetics. The cell voltage, ΔEcell was predicted to improve upon functionalization with PP, especially for Li-ion (from 1.55 to 2.06 V) and Na-ion (from 1.03 to 1.37 V), the trend of which revealed the influence of the size and the charge on the metal ions in promoting the energy efficiency of the batteries. The present study provides an insight into the role of conducting polymers in improving the energy efficiency of metal-ion batteries and could pave the way for the effective design of highly efficient energy storage materials.

Abstract
Tin-based compounds have received much attention as anode materials for lithium/sodium ion batteries owing to their high theoretical capacity. However, the huge volume change usually leads to the pulverization of electrode, giving rise to a poor cycle performance, which have severely hampered their practical application. Herein, highly durable yolk-shell SnSe2 nanospheres (SnSe2 @SeC) are prepared by a multistep templating method, with an in situ gas-phase selenization of the SnO2 @C hollow nanospheres. During this process, Se can be doped into the carbon shell with a tunable amount and form SeC bonds. Density functional theory calculation results reveal that the SeC bonding can enhance the charge transfer properties as well as the binding interaction between the SnSe2 core and the carbon shell, favoring an improved rate performance and a superior cyclability. As expected, the sample delivers reversible capacities of 441 and 406 mAh g-1 after 2000 cycles at 2 and 5 A g-1 , respectively, as the anode material for a sodium-ion battery. Such performances are significantly better than the control sample without the SeC bonding and also other metal selenide-based anodes, evidently showing the advantage of Se doping in the carbon shell.

Abstract
SnSe2 nanosheet is a common anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but its severe agglomeration hinders its practical application. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) SnSe2 nanoflower (F-SnSe2) composed of non-stacking vertical upward hexagonal nanosheets was prepared through a colloidal method as an anode material for LIBs. Benefiting from the advantages of fast reaction-diffusion kinetics and buffering unavoidable volume variation during cycling, the F-SnSe2 electrode displays remarkable specific capacity of 795 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and superior rate performance (282 mAh g-1 at 2,000 mA g-1). This work provides an effective way to get non-stacking nanosheets in energy storage field.

Abstract
In this paper, Co3Se4 nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen-doped porous carbon polyhedra are synthesized via a facile one-step thermal selenization, using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as the template. The electrochemical properties of the fabricated nanocomposite are evaluated for use as anodes for lithium ion batteries and found to exhibit a specific capacity (950 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C) and excellent cyclic stability (899 mAh g-1 at 1 C after 1000 cycles). Both are much higher than those of the state-of-the-art Co-Se based nanocomposites. This extraordinary lithium storage is attributed to the synergetic effect between the Co3Se4 nanocrystals and nitrogen-doped porous carbon framework, and is believed to offer a potential candidate anode material for next-generation lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
As the hostless nature of the conventional Li anodes with planar surfaces inevitably causes volume expansion and parasitic dendrite growth, it is essential to develop a composite electrode structure with improved Li plating/stripping behaviors to mitigate such issues. Herein, a composite Li@NF anode was successfully fabricated through lithium perfusion into the commercial nickel foam (NF) decorated with lithiophilic NiO nanosheets, demonstrating an exceptionally high areal Li loading of 53.2 mg cm-2 with suppressed Li dendrite formation and volume expansion, improved Coulombic efficiency, as well as extended cycling stability in all half, symmetric, and full cell tests. More importantly, density functional theory calculations and control studies with Fe2O3@NF, pristine NF, and Cu2O@CF reveal a linear correlation between the thermodynamics of the surface reactions and the lithiophilicity of the reaction products, attesting to a redox-driven Li perfusion process. Further, through ex situ scanning electron and in situ optical microscopy, the enhanced performance of Li@NF is mainly attributed to the mediation of Li plating/stripping through homogenizing the Li+ flux, decentralizing local charge density, and accommodating multidirectional Li deposition by the conductive 3D scaffolds. Consequently, this study offers important insights into the driving of thermal Li perfusion through appropriate material and surface design for achieving safe and stable lithium metal anodes.

Abstract
Developing anodes with a high and stable energy density for both gravimetric and volumetric storage is vital for high-performance lithium/sodium-ion batteries. Herein, an SnSe/few-layered graphene (FLG) composite with a high tap density (2.3 g cm-3) is synthesized via the plasma-milling method, in which SnSe nanoparticles are strongly bound with the FLG matrix, owing to both Sn-C and Se-C bonds, to form nanosized primary particles and then assemble to microsized secondary granules. The FLG can effectively alleviate the large stress generated from the volume expansion of SnSe during cycling based on its superstrength. Furthermore, as demonstrated by the density-functional theory calculations, the Sn-C and Se-C co-bonding benefitting from the formation of substantial vacancy defects on the P-milling-synthesized FLG enables strong affinity between SnSe nanoparticles and the FLG matrix, preventing SnSe from aggregating and detaching even after long-term cycling. As an anode for lithium-ion batteries, it exhibits high gravimetric and volumetric capacities (864.8 mAh g-1 and 1990 mAh cm-3 at 0.2 A g-1), a high rate (612.6 mAh g-1 even at 5.0 A g-1), and the longest life among the reported SnSe-based anodes (capacity retention of 92.8% after 2000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1). Subsequently, an impressive cyclic life (capacity retention of 91.6% after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1) is also achieved for sodium-ion batteries. Therefore, the SnSe/FLG composite is a promising anode for high-performance lithium/sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Freestanding carbon-based electrodes with large surface areas and pore volumes are essential to fast ion transport and long-term energy storage. Many of the current porous carbon substrates are composed of particulates, making it difficult to form a self-supported structure. Herein, novel highly porous nitrogen-doped graphene fiber webs (N-GFWs) are prepared using a facile wet-spinning method. The wet chemical process facilitates simultaneous N-doping and surface wrinkling of graphene fibers in a one-pot process. The atomic structure and electrical conductivity of N-GFWs are tailored by tuning the degree of N-doping and thermal reduction for multi-battery charge storage in both lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) and lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). The N-GFW900 electrode presents an excellent electrocatalytic activity and the cathode with a high areal loading of 7.5 mg cm-2 delivers a remarkable areal capacity of 2 mA h cm-2 at 0.2 mA cm-2 for LOBs. The N-GFW700 interlayer with abundant oxygenated and nitrogen functional groups demonstrates effective entrapment of polysulfides in LSBs, delivering a much improved specific capacity after 200 cycles at 0.5C with a remarkable decay rate of 0.04%. The current approach paves the way for rational design of porous graphene-based electrodes, satisfying multifunctional requirements for high-energy storage applications.

Abstract
2D materials have shown great promise to advance next-generation lithium-ion battery technology. Specifically, tin-based chalcogenides have attracted widespread attention because lithium insertion can introduce phase transformations via three types of reactions-intercalation, conversion, and alloying-but the corresponding structural changes throughout these processes, and whether they are reversible, are not fully understood. Here, the first real-time and atomic-scale observation of reversible phase transformations is reported during the lithiation and delithiation of SnSe2 single crystals, using in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy complemented by first-principles calculations. Lithiation proceeds sequentially through intercalation, conversion, and alloying reactions (SnSe2 → Lix SnSe2 → Li2 Se + Sn → Li2 Se + Li17 Sn4 ) in a manner that maintains structural and crystallographic integrity, whereas delithiation forms numerous well-aligned SnSe2 nanodomains via a homogeneous deconversion process, but gradually loses the coherent orientation in subsequent cycling. Furthermore, alloying and dealloying reactions cause dramatic structural reorganization and thereby consequently reduce structural stability and electrochemical cyclability, which implies that deep discharge for Sn chalcogenide electrodes should be avoided. Overall, the findings elucidate atomistic lithiation and delithiation mechanisms in SnSe2 with potential implications for the broader class of 2D metal chalcogenides.

Abstract
It has been a challenge to use transition metal oxides as anode materials in Li-ion batteries due to their low electronic conductivity, poor rate capability and large volume change during charge/discharge processes. Here, we present the first demonstration of a unique self-recovery of capacity in transition metal oxide anodes. This was achieved by reducing tungsten trioxide (WO3) via the incorporation of urea, followed by annealing in a nitrogen environment. The reduced WO3 successfully self-retained the Li-ion cell capacity after undergoing a sharp decrease upon cycling. Significantly, the reduced WO3 also exhibited excellent rate capability. The reduced WO3 exhibited an interesting cycling phenomenon where the capacity was significantly self-recovered after an initial sharp decrease. The quick self-recoveries of 193.21%, 179.19% and 166.38% for the reduced WO3 were observed at the 15th (521.59/457.41 mA h g-1), 36th (538.49/536.61 mA h g-1) and 45th (555.39/555.39 mA h g-1) cycles respectively compared to their respective preceding discharge capacity. This unique self-recovery phenomenon can be attributed to the lithium plating and conversion reaction which might be due to the activation of oxygen vacancies that act as defects which make the WO3 electrode more electrochemically reactive with cycling. The reduced WO3 exhibited a superior electrochemical performance with 959.1/638.9 mA h g-1 (1st cycle) and 558.68/550.23 mA h g-1 (100th cycle) vs. pristine WO3 with 670.16/403.79 mA h g-1 (1st cycle) and 236.53/234.39 mA h g-1 (100th cycle) at a current density of 100 mA g-1.

Abstract
The indirect bandgap semiconductor tin selenide (SnSe) has been a research hotspot in the thermoelectric fields since a ZT (figure of merit) value of 2.6 at 923 K in SnSe single crystals along the b-axis is reported. SnSe has also been extensively studied in the photovoltaic (PV) application for its extraordinary advantages including excellent optoelectronic properties, absence of toxicity, cheap raw materials, and relative abundance. Moreover, the thermoelectric and optoelectronic properties of SnSe can be regulated by the structural transformation and appropriate doping. Here, the studies in SnSe research, from its evolution to till now, are reviewed. The growth, characterization, and recent developments in SnSe research are discussed. The most popular growth techniques that have been used to prepare SnSe materials are discussed in detail with their recent progress. Important phenomena in the growth of SnSe as well as the problems remaining for future study are discussed. The applications of SnSe in the PV fields, Li-ion batteries, and other emerging fields are also discussed.

Abstract
The applicability of C44, B22N22, Ge44, and Al22P22 nanocages, as well as variants of those nanocages with an adsorbed halogen atom, as high-performance anode materials in Li-ion, Na-ion, and K-ion batteries was investigated theoretically via density functional theory. The results obtained indicate that, among the nanocages with no adsorbed halogen atom, Al22P22 would be the best candidate for a novel anode material for use in metal-ion batteries. Calculations also suggest that K-ion batteries which utilize these nanocages as anode materials would give better performance and would yield higher cell voltages than the corresponding Li-ion and Na-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes. Also, the results for the nanocages with an adsorbed halogen atom imply that employing them as anode materials would lead to higher cell voltages and better metal-ion battery performance than if the nanocages with no adsorbed halogen atom were to be used as anode materials instead. Results further implied that nanocages with an adsorbed F atom would give higher cell voltages and better battery performance than nanocages with an adsorbed Cl or Br atom. We were ultimately able to conclude that a K-ion battery that utilized Al21P22 with an adsorbed F atom as its anode material would afford the best metal-ion battery performance; we therefore propose this as a novel highly efficient metal-ion battery. Graphical abstract The results of a theoretical investigation indicated that Al22P22 is a better candidate for a high-performance anode material in metal-ion batteries than Ge44 is. Calculations also showed that K-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes would produce higher cell voltages and perform better than the equivalent Li-ion and Na-ion batteries with nanocage-based anodes, and that anodes based on nanocages with an adsorbed F atom would perform better than anodes based on nanocages with an adsorbed Cl or Br atom.

Abstract
A great concern exists about the lifetime, cost, low-temperature performance, and safety of Li-ion batteries. Na-ion batteries (NIB) are an alternative to the Li-ion batteries due to the wide availability of sodium, its low cost, and nontoxicity. Here, we examined the Na and Na+ adsorption on nanosheets of carbon (graphene), AlN, BN, and SiC to explore their potential use as an anode in NIBs. The interaction of atomic Na was found to play the main role in producing different nanosheet cell voltages. Unlike the graphene and SiC nanosheets, the lone pairs on the surface of the AlN and BN nanosheets hinder the Na adsorption and significantly increase the cell voltage. The order of magnitude of the nanosheet cell voltage as an anode in NIBs is as follows: AlN (1.49 V) > BN (1.46 V) > > C (0.69 V) > SiC (0.61 V). The AlN and BN nanosheets may be appropriate compounds for NIBs and their cell voltages are comparable with carbon nanotubes.

Abstract
In this paper, applications of B30N30, B36N36, BNNT(8, 0), and BNNT(10, 0) as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Results show that the average values of voltage cell (Vcell) and adsorption energy (Ead) of BNNT(8, 0) and BNNT(10, 0) were higher than B30N30 and B36N36 by approximately 0.405 V and 5.25 kcal/mol, respectively. The F functionalization of studied nanostructures as a strategy to improve the performance of these systems as anode materials of lithium-ion batteries was investigated. Results show that the F functionalization of studied nanostructures increases the average values of Vcell and Ead by approximately 0.182 V and 8.89 kcal/mol, respectively. Obtained results propose that F functionalized B36N36 and BNNT(10, 0) have larger Vcell and Ead values, and therefore, these nanostructures have a higher potential as anode materials for the lithium-ion battery.

Abstract
It has been recently indicated that the Li-ion batteries may be replaced by Na-ion batteries because of their low safety, high cost, and low-temperature performance, and lack of the Li mineral reserves. Here, using density functional theory calculations, we studied the potential application of B12N12 nanoclusters as anode in Na-ion batteries. Our calculations indicate that the adsorption energy of Na+ and Na are about -23.4 and -1.4kcal/mol, respectively, and the pristine BN cage to improve suffers from a low cell voltage (∼0.92V) as an anode in Na-ion batteries. We presented a strategy to increase the cell voltage and performance of Na-ion batteries. We showed that encapsulation of different halides (X=F-, Cl-, or Br-) into BN cage significantly increases the cell voltage. By increasing the atomic number of X, the Gibbs free energy change of cell becomes more negative and the cell voltage is increased up to 3.93V. The results are discussed based on the structural, energetic, frontier molecular orbital, charge transfer and electronic properties and compared with the performance of other nanostructured anodes.
