Abstract
Copper Sulfide (CuS) semiconductors have garnered interest, but the effect of transition metal doping on charge carrier kinetics and bandgap remains unclear. In this study, the interactions between dopant atoms (Nickel, Cobalt, and Manganese) and the CuS lattice using spectroscopy and electrochemical analysis are explored. The findings show that sp-d exchange interactions between band electrons and the dopant ions, which replace Cu2+, are key to altering the material's properties. Specifically, these interactions result in a reduced bandgap by shifting the conduction and valence band edges and increasing carrier concentration. It is observed that undoped CuS nanoflowers exhibit a carrier lifetime of 2.16 ns, whereas Mn-doped CuS shows an extended lifetime of 2.62 ns. This increase is attributed to longer carrier scattering times (84 ± 5 fs for Mn-CuS compared to 53 ± 14 fs for CuS) and slower trapping (∼1.5 ps) with prolonged de-trapping (∼100 ps) rates. These dopant-induced energy levels enhance mobility and carrier lifetime by reducing recombination rates. This study highlights the potential of doped CuS as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries and emphasizes the applicability of metal sulfides in energy solutions.

Abstract
Fossil fuels have clearly failed to meet people's growing energy needs due to their limited reserves, potential pollution of the environment, and high costs. The development of cleaner, renewable energy sources as well as secondary batteries for energy storage is imminent, in a modern society where energy demand is soaring. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have become the focus of large-scale energy storage systems as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The development of SIBs relies on the construction of high performance electrode materials. The design of low cost and high performance anode materials is a key link in this regard. Copper-based anodes are characterized by high theoretical capacity, abundant reserves, low cost and environmental friendliness. A variety of copper-based anode materials, which include cobalt oxides, sulfides, selenides and phosphides, have been synthesized and evaluated in the scientific literature for sodium storage. In detail, the preparation methods, response mechanisms, strengths and weaknesses, the relationship between morphology structure and electrochemical performance are discussed, as well as highlighting strategies to improve the electrochemical performance of copper-based anode materials. Finally, we offer our perspective on the challenges and potential for the development of copper-based anodes as a means of developing practical and high performing SIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion battery (AZIBs) has attracted the attention of many researchers because of its safety, economy, environmental protection, and high ionic conductivity of electrolytes. However, the battery greatly suffers from zinc dendrite produced by zinc metal anode leading to poor cycle life and even unsafe problems, which limit its further development for various important applications. It is known that the success of the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is mainly due to replacement of lithium metal anode with graphite, which avoids the formation of Li dendrite. Therefore, it is an important step to develop aqueous zinc ion anode to replace conventional zinc metal one with zinc-metal free anode material. In this review, the working principle and development prospect of "rocking-chair" AZIBs are introduced. The research progress of different types of zinc metal-free anode materials and cathode materials in "rocking-chair" AZIBs is reviewed. Finally, the limitations and challenges of the Zn metal-free "rocking-chair" AZIBs as well as solutions are deeply discussed, aiming to provide new strategies for the development of advanced zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
The latest view suggests the inactive core, surface pulverization, and polysulfide shuttling effect of metal sulfides are responsible for their low capacity and poor cycling performance in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Whereas overcoming the above problems based on conventional nanoengineering is not efficient enough. In this work, erythrocyte-like CuS microspheres with an elastic buffering layer of ultrathin polyaniline (PANI) were synthesized through one-step self-assembly growth, followed by in situ polymerization of aniline. When CuS@PANI is used as anode electrode in SIBs, it delivers high capacity, ultrahigh rate capability (500 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, and 214.5 mAh g-1 at 40 A g-1), and superior cycling life of over 7500 cycles at 20 A g-1. A series of in/ex situ characterization techniques were applied to investigate the structural evolution and sodium-ion storage mechanism. The PANI swollen with electrolyte can stabilize solid electrolyte interface layer, benefit the ion transport/charge transfer at the PANI/electrolyte interface, and restrain the size growth of Cu particles in confined space. Moreover, finite element analyses and density functional simulations confirm that the PANI film effectively buffers the volume expansion, suppresses the surface pulverization, and traps the polysulfide.

Abstract
Inferior electrical conductivity and large volume variation are two disadvantages of metal selenides. In this work, we have designed a core-shell structure of FeSe2@C composite with low cost using facile hydrothermal method. The FeSe2particles as the 'core' and the carbon layer as the 'shell' displayed good synergistic effect that attributed to alleviate volume expansion of electrode and improving the electrical conductivity, which achieved the fast potassium storage. The core-shell structural FeSe2@C electrode achieved 286 mA h g-1at 1 A g-1over 1000 cycles with 99.8% coulombic efficiency and delivered excellent rate capacity with 273 mA h g-1at 2 A g-1, which was ascribed to dispersed FeSe2particles and the strong carbon shell coating. This work will provide the basis for the further development of the application of metal selenides in the field of flexible electrodes.

The Effect of Deposition Parameters on Morphological and Optical Properties of Cu2S Thin Films Grown by Chemical Bath Deposition Technique. PHOTONICS 2022.

Abstract
The chemical bath deposition technique has been used for the deposition of Cu2S thin films on glass substrates. The thickness of deposited thin films strongly depends on the deposition parameters. The present study revealed that the thickness increased from 185 to 281 nm as deposition time increased and from 183 to 291 nm as bath temperature increased. In addition, the thickness increased from 257 to 303 nm with the increment of precursors concentration and from 185 to 297 nm as the pH value increased. However, the thickness decreased from 299 to 234 nm with the increment of precursors concentration. The morphology of Cu2S thin films remarkably changed as the deposition parameters varied. The increase in deposition time, bath temperature, and CuSO4.5H2O concentration leads to the increase in particle sizes, homogeneity, compactness of the thin films, and the number of clusters, and agglomeration, while the increase in thiourea concentration leads to the decrease in particle sizes and quality of films. Optical results demonstrated that the transmission of thin films rapidly increased in the UV–VIS region at (λ = 350–500 nm) until it reached its maximum peak at (λ = 600–650 nm) in the visible region, then it decreased in the NIR region. The high absorption was obtained in the UV–VIS region at (λ = 350–500 nm) before it decreased to its minimum value in the visible region, and then increased in the NIR region. The energy bandgap of thin films effectively depends on the deposition parameters. It decreased with the increasing deposition time (3.01–2.95 eV), bath temperature (3.04–2.63 eV), CuSO4.5H2O concentration (3.1–2.6 eV), and pH value (3.14–2.75 eV), except for thiourea concentration, while it decreased with the increasing thiourea concentration (2.79–3.09 eV).

Abstract
Various electrode materials are considered for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and one important prerequisite for developments of SIBs is a detailed understanding about charge storage mechanisms. Herein, we present a rigorous study about Na storage properties of ultra-small Fe3S4 nanoparticles, synthesized applying a solvothermal route, which exhibit a very good electrochemical performance as anode material for SIBs. A closer look into electrochemical reaction pathways on the nanoscale, utilizing synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption techniques, reveals a complicated conversion mechanism. Initially, separation of Fe3S4 into nanocrystalline intermediates occurs accompanied by reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ cations. Discharge to 0.1 V leads to formation of strongly disordered Fe0 finely dispersed in a nanosized Na2S matrix. The resulting volume expansion leads to a worse long-term stability in the voltage range 3.0-0.1 V. Adjusting the lower cut-off potential to 0.5 V, crystallization of Na2S is prevented and a completely amorphous intermediate stage is formed. Thus, the smaller voltage window is favorable for long-term stability, yielding highly reversible capacity retention, e.g., 486 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles applying 0.5 A g-1 and superior coulombic efficiencies >99.9%. During charge to 3.0 V, Fe3S4 with smaller domains are reversibly generated in the 1st cycle, but further cycling results in loss of structural long-range order, whereas the local environment resembles that of Fe3S4 in subsequent charged states. Electrokinetic analyses reveal high capacitive contributions to the charge storage, indicating shortened diffusion lengths and thus, redox reactions occur predominantly at surfaces of nanosized conversion products.

Abstract
The pseudo-layered sulfide NiCr2 S4 exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance as anode material in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The Na storage mechanism is investigated by synchrotron-based X-ray scattering and absorption techniques as well as by electrochemical measurements. A very high reversible capacity in the 500th cycle of 489 mAh g-1 is observed at 2.0 A g-1 in the potential window 3.0-0.1 V. Full discharge includes irreversible generation of Ni0 and Cr0 nanoparticles embedded in nanocrystalline Na2 S yielding shortened diffusion lengths and predominantly surface-controlled charge storage. During charge, Ni0 and Cr0 are oxidized, Na2 S is consumed, and amorphous Ni and Cr sulfides are formed. Limiting the potential window to 3.0-0.3 V an unusual nickel extrusion sodium insertion mechanism occurs: Ni2+ is reduced to nanosized Ni0 domains, expelled from the host lattice, and is replaced by Na+ cations to form O3-type like NaCrS2 . Surprisingly, the discharge and charge processes comprise Na+ shuttling between highly crystalline NiCr2 S4 and NaCrS2 enabling a superior long-term stability for 3000 cycles. The results not only provide valuable insights for the electrochemistry of conversion materials but also extend the scope of layered electrode materials considering the reversible nickel extrusion sodium insertion reaction as new concept for SIBs.

Abstract
Highly crystalline CuFeS2 containing earth-abundant and environmentally friendly elements prepared via a high-temperature synthesis exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance as an anode material in sodium-ion batteries. The initial specific capacity of 460 mAh g-1 increases to 512 mAh g-1 in the 150th cycle and then decreases to a still very high value of 444 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 in the remaining 550 cycles. Even for a large current density, a pronounced cycling stability is observed. Here, we demonstrate that combining the results of X-ray powder diffraction experiments, pair distribution function analysis, and 23Na NMR and Mössbauer spectroscopy investigations performed at different stages of discharging and charging processes allows elucidation of very complex reaction mechanisms. In the first step after uptake of 1 Na/CuFeS2, nanocrystalline NaCuFeS2 is formed as an intermediate phase, which surprisingly could be recovered during charging. On increasing the Na content, Cu+ is reduced to nanocrystalline Cu, while nanocrystalline Na2S and nanosized elemental Fe are formed in the discharged state. After charging, the main crystalline phase is NaCuFeS2. At the 150th cycle, the mechanisms clearly changed, and in the charged state, nanocrystalline CuxS phases are observed. At later stages of cycling, the mechanisms are altered again: NaF, Cu2S, and Cu7.2S4 appeared in the discharged state, while NaF and Cu5FeS4 are observed in the charged state. In contrast to a typical conversion reaction, nanocrystalline phases play the dominant role, which are responsible for the high reversible capacity and long-term stability.

Abstract
Metal sulfides have aroused considerable attention for efficient sodium storage because of their high capacity and decent redox reversibility. However, the poor rate capability and fast capacity decay greatly hinder their practical application in sodium-ion batteries. Herein, a self-template-based strategy is designed to controllably synthesize hierarchical microoctahedra assembled with Cu2 S/MoS2 heterojunction nanosheets in the porous carbon framework (Cu2 S/MoS2 ⊂PCF) via a facile coprecipitation method coupled with vulcanization treatment. The Cu2 S/MoS2 ⊂PCF microoctahedra with 2D hybrid nanosubunits reasonably integrate several merits including facilitating the diffusion of electrons and Na+ ions, enhancing the electric conductivity, accelerating the ion and charge transfer, and buffering the volume variation. Therefore, the Cu2 S/MoS2 ⊂PCF composite manifests efficient sodium storage performance with high capacity, long cycling life, and excellent rate capability.

Abstract
Electrochemical conversion reactions offer a new avenue to build high-capacity anodes for sodium-ion batteries. However, poor long-term cyclability and low coulombic efficiency at the first cycle remain a significant challenge for practical Na-ion battery applications. Herein, a novel hyperbranched polymer is used as a template and electrode additive to construct unique hierarchical Cu9S5 nanoplates. With an internal uniform distribution, the additive could regulate the morphology and microstructure of Cu9S5 and offer a buffering matrix to alleviate nanoparticle aggregation and enhance solid-state Na+ ion diffusion. This Cu9S5 composite anode exhibits a high reversible capacity of 429 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1, a high coulombic efficiency of 94.3% at the first cycle, a superior rate capability of 300 mA h g-1 at 20 A g-1, and an outstanding cyclability with 82.2% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. The kinetic study reveals that Cu9S5-AHP nanoplates show a low charge transfer resistance and high Na+ diffusion coefficient (∼10-9 cm2 s-1). The present work suggests a potentially feasible anode material for sodium-ion batteries and, more significantly, demonstrates a novel strategy for the construction of high-performance conversion materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Voltage polarization during cycling, the charge potential increase of anode or discharge plateau decrease of cathode, is widely observed and would lower the output voltage. Conversely, an anomalous potential plateau negative migration phenomenon was observed in Cu xS anode of sodium-ion battery. In this study, the background mechanism was clarified from the switch of intercalation-conversion reactions and structure evolution. The dynamic cooperation between intercalation and conversion reactions may root the potential plateau negative migration during cycling. In the initial stage, the intercalation-type reaction with Na3Cu4S4 and Na4Cu2S3 products at 2.13 and 1.92 V would dominate the early migration process of potential plateaus. In the second stage, the conversion-type reaction dominated by Na2S and metallic copper formed at 1.85 and 1.53 V in the later period. The aforementioned results would provide new perspective on the electrochemical behavior of transition-metal sulfide anode and provide a clue for reducing voltage polarization.

Abstract
Novel nanoflower-like N-doped C/CoS2 spheres assembled from 2D wrinkled CoS2 nanosheets were synthesized through a facile one-pot solvothermal method followed by sulfurization. Ascribed to the optimized 3D nanostructure and rational surface engineering, the unique hierarchical structure of the nanoflower-like C/CoS2 composites showed an excellent sodium ion storage capacity accompanied by high specific capacity, superior rate performance and long-term cycling stability. Specifically, the conductive interconnected wrinkled nanosheets create a number of mesoporous structures and thus can greatly release the mechanical stress caused by Na+ insertion/extraction. Besides, it was observed from the experiments that many extra defect vacancies and Na+ storage sites are introduced by the nitrogen doping process. It was also observed that the crosslinked 2D nanosheets can effectively reduce the diffusion lengths of sodium ions and electrons, resulting in an outstanding rate performance (>700 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 and 458 mA h g-1 at even 10 A g-1) and extraordinary cycling stability (698 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 500 cycles). The results provide a facile approach to fabricate promising anode materials for high-performance sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).

Abstract
Due to the severe volume expansion and poor cycle stability, transition metal oxide anode is still not meeting the commercial utilization. We herein demonstrate the synthetic method of core-shell pomegranate-shaped Fe2O3/C nano-composite via one-step hydrothermal process for the first time. The electrochemical performances were measured as anode material for Li-ion batteries. It exhibits excellent cycling performance, which sustains 705 mAh g-1 reversible capacities after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1. The anodes also showed good rate stability with discharge capacities of 480 mAh g-1 when cycling at a rate of 2000 mA g-1. The excellent Li storage properties can be attributed to the unique core-shell pomegranate structure, which can not only ensure good electrical conductivity for active Fe2O3, but also accommodate huge volume change during cycles as well as facilitate the fast diffusion of Li ion.

Abstract
Magnesium secondary batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage systems with high safety, because of the dendrite-free electrodeposition of the magnesium anode. However, the search for available cathode materials remains a significant challenge, hindering their development. In this work, we report copper sulfide nanoparticles as high-performance cathode materials for magnesium secondary batteries, which deliver a high reversible capacity of 175 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1. The cathode also shows an excellent rate capability providing 90 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 and an outstanding long-term cyclability over 350 cycles. The beneficial properties are ascribed to the small-sized copper sulfide particles which facilitate the solid-state diffusion kinetics. Further investigation on the mechanism demonstrates that the reaction is a typical conversion reaction, and the excellent cycling stability is due to the CuS nanoparticles which are not facile to aggregate during cycling. This work introduces an abundant, low-cost and high-performance cathode material for magnesium secondary batteries, and provides feasibility for the practical application of magnesium secondary battery systems in large-scale energy storage devices.

Abstract
In this work, nonstoichiometric Cu2- xSe fabricated by a facile water evaporation process is used as high-performance Al-ion battery cathode materials. Cu2- xSe electrodes show high reversible capacity and excellent cycling stability, even at a high current density of 200 mA g-1, the specific charge capacity in the initial cycle is 241 mA h g-1 and maintains 100 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles with a Coulombic efficiency of 96.1%, showing good capacity retention. The prominent kinetics of Cu2- xSe electrodes is also revealed by the GITT, which is attributed to the ultrahigh electronic conductivity of the Cu2- xSe material. Most importantly, an extensive research is dedicated to investigating the detailed intercalation and de-intercalation of relatively large chloroaluminate anions into the cubic Cu2- xSe, which is conducive to better understand the reaction mechanism of the Al/Cu2- xSe battery.

Abstract
In this study, one-dimensional Cu2- xSe nanorods synthesized by a simple water evaporation-induced self-assembly approach are served as the anode material for Na-ion batteries for the first time. Cu2- xSe electrodes express outstanding electrochemical properties. The initial discharge capacity is 149.3 mA h g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1, and the discharge capacity can remain at 106.2 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles. Even at a high current density of 2000 mA g-1, the discharge capacity of the Cu2- xSe electrode still remains at 62.8 mA h g-1, showing excellent rate performance. Owing to the excellent electronic conductivity and one-dimensional structure of Cu2- xSe, the Cu2- xSe electrodes manifest fast Na+ ion diffusion rate. Moreover, detailed Na+ insertion/extraction mechanism is further investigated by ex situ measurements and theoretical calculations.
