Abstract
Subnanometer pores/channels (SNPCs) play crucial roles in regulating electrochemical redox reactions for rechargeable batteries. The delicately designed and tailored porous structure of SNPCs not only provides ample space for ion storage but also facilitates efficient ion diffusion within the electrodes in batteries, which can greatly improve the electrochemical performance. However, due to current technological limitations, it is challenging to synthesize and control the quality, storage, and transport of nanopores at the subnanometer scale, as well as to understand the relationship between SNPCs and performances. In this review, we systematically classify and summarize materials with SNPCs from a structural perspective, dividing them into one-dimensional (1D) SNPCs, two-dimensional (2D) SNPCs, and three-dimensional (3D) SNPCs. We also unveil the unique physicochemical properties of SNPCs and analyse electrochemical couplings in SNPCs for rechargeable batteries, including cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, and functional materials. Finally, we discuss the challenges that SNPCs may face in electrochemical reactions in batteries and propose future research directions.

Abstract
Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have been widely studied owing to their relatively high energy density and abundant resources. However, they still need systematic improvement to fulfill the harsh operating conditions for their commercialization. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in SMBs in terms of sodium anode modification, electrolyte exploration, and cathode design. Firstly, we give an overview of the current challenges facing Na metal anodes and the corresponding solutions. Then, the traditional liquid electrolytes and the prospective solid electrolytes for SMBs are summarized. In addition, insertion- and conversion-type cathode materials are introduced. Finally, an outlook for the future of practical SMBs is provided.

Abstract
The development of large-scale energy storage systems (EESs) is pivotal for applying intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy. Lithium-ion batteries with LiFePO4 cathode have been explored in the integrated wind and solar power EESs, due to their long cycle life, safety, and low cost of Fe. Considering the penurious reserve and regional distribution of lithium resources, the Fe-based sodium-ion battery cathodes with earth-abundant elements, environmental friendliness, and safety appear to be the better substitutes in impending grid-scale energy storage. Compared to the transition metal oxide and Prussian blue analogs, the Fe-based polyanionic oxide cathodes possess high thermal stability, ultra-long cycle life, and adjustable voltage, which is more commercially viable in the future. This review summarizes the research progress of single Fe-based polyanionic and mixed polyanionic oxide cathodes for the potential sodium-ion batteries EESs candidates. In detail, the synthesized method, crystal structure, electrochemical properties, bottlenecks, and optimization method of Fe-based polyanionic oxide cathodes are discussed systematically. The insights presented in this review may serve as a guideline for designing and optimizing Fe-based polyanionic oxide cathodes for coming commercial sodium-ion batteries EESs.

Abstract
The poor electronic conductivity of Na2FeSiO4 always limits its electrochemical reactivities and no effective solution has been found to date. Herein, the novel Ni-substituted Na2Fe1-xNixSiO4@C nanospheres (50-100 nm) encapsulated with a 3D hierarchical porous skeleton (named as alveolation-like configuration) constructed using in situ carbon are first synthesized via a facile sol-gel method, and the effects of Ni substitution combined with the design of a unique carbon network on Na-storage properties are assessed systematically, focusing on alleviating the inherent defects of the Na2FeSiO4 cathode material. A series of characterization technologies such as X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and so forth, coupled with the electrochemical measurements and first-principles calculations, are used to explore the structure, morphology and electrochemical behaviors of the as-prepared materials. The results show that the synergism between Ni substitution and the special alveolation-like configuration enables fast Na ions mobility (from 10-14 to 10-12 cm2 s-1), reduces band gap energy (from 2.82 to 1.79 eV) and lowers Na-ion diffusion barriers, finally reciprocating the vigorous electrochemical kinetics of the electrode. Especially, the elaborately designed material-Na2Fe0.97Ni0.03SiO4@C-displays superior Na-storage properties of around 197.51 mA h g-1 (corresponding to 1.43 Na+ intercalation) at 0.1 C within 1.5-4.5 V along with desirable capacity retention (84.44% after 100 cycles), and the rate capability is also markedly enhanced (a capacity of 133.62 mA h g-1 at 2 C). Such the effective methodology employed in this work opens a potential pathway to synthesize the silicate cathode material with excellent electrochemical properties.
