Abstract
A resin-based hard carbon with rich closed pores is prepared by the in situ reconstruction of cavities formed after heteroatoms evaporated during a high-temperature carbonization process. Various characterization results confirm that rich defect sites and micropores and enlarged layer spacing in hard carbon promote Na+ transport and facilitate high-performance Na+ storage.

Abstract
Organic material holds immense potential for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their eco-friendly nature, high structural designability, abundant sources, and high theoretical capacity. However, the limited redox-active sites, low electronic conductivity, sluggish ionic diffusion, and high solubility hinder their practical application. Here, we reported the use of a linear polymer called poly(naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride-pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone)-coated graphene nanosheets (NPT/rGO) as a cathode material for LIBs. The NPT polymer has a rotation angle of approximately 63° between each plane, which helps in exposing the active sites and preventing structural pulverization during cycling. The highly conjugated skeleton of the polymer, along with graphene, forms a synergistic effect through a π-π interaction. This combination enhances the conductivity and restricts solubility. Additionally, the linear structure of NPT and the two-dimensional rGO substrates work together to enhance charge transfer and ion diffusion rates, resulting in faster reaction kinetics. Consequently, NPT/rGO exhibits excellent electrochemical performance in terms of high capacity, superior cyclic stability, and good rate capability for LIBs. Moreover, through the combination of experimental investigations and theoretical simulations, a multiple electron reaction mechanism, an efficient Li-ion storage behavior, and a reversible dynamic evolution have been revealed. This study introduces a rational molecular design approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of polyimide derivatives, thereby contributing to the advancement of cutting-edge organic electrode materials for LIBs.

Abstract
The practical application of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) is hindered by the crazy Zn dendrites growth and the H2O-induced side reactions, which rapidly consume the Zn anode and H2O molecules, especially under the lean electrolyte and Zn anode. Herein, a natural disaccharide, d-trehalose (DT), is exploited as a novel multifunctional co-solvent to address the above issues. Molecular dynamics simulations and spectral characterizations demonstrate that DT with abundant polar -OH groups can form strong interactions with Zn2+ ions and H2O molecules, and thus massively reconstruct the coordination structure of Zn2+ ions and the hydrogen bonding network of the electrolyte. Especially, the strong H-bonds between DT and H2O molecules can not only effectively suppress the H2O activity but also prevent the rearrangement of H2O molecules at low temperature. Consequently, the AZIBs using DT30 electrolyte can show high cycling stability even under lean electrolyte (E/C ratio = 2.95 µL mAh-1), low N/P ratio (3.4), and low temperature (-12 °C). As a proof-of-concept, a Zn||LiFePO4 pack with LiFePO4 loading as high as 506.49 mg can be achieved. Therefore, DT as an eco-friendly multifunctional co-solvent provides a sustainable and effective strategy for the practical application of AZIBs.

Abstract
MXenes are considered a promising negative electrode material for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) in view of their low potassium ion diffusion barrier and excellent electrical conductivity. However, the stacking phenomenon in practical applications severely reduces their active surface and leads to slow K+ diffusion. Herein, a facile composite template method is proposed to construct stacking-resistance 3D carbon-supported Ti3 C2 Tx (3D-C@Ti3 C2 Tx ) hollow spheres. Due to the unique structure, when used as a negative electrode material, as-prepared 3D-C@Ti3 C2 Tx hollow spheres show not only improved rate capability with 160.4 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and 133.7 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1 , but also stable cycling performance with 142.5 mAh g-1 specific capacity remained at 2 A g-1 after 4200 cycles. Furthermore, the full cells with 3D-C@Ti3 C2 Tx anode can operate stably for 1000 cycles at 100 mA g-1 . Moreover, the linear fit analysis demonstrates that 3D-C@Ti3 C2 Tx hollow spheres have a fast and stable capacitive potassium storage mechanism. This method is simple and easy to implement, which provide a feasible path to solve the stacking problem of 2D materials.

Abstract
Advances in cathode material design and understanding of intercalation mechanisms are necessary to improve the overall performance of aluminum ion batteries. Therefore, we designed ZnSe/SnSe2 hollow microcubes with heterojunction structure as a cathode material for aluminum ion batteries. ZnSe/SnSe2 hollow microcubes with an average size of about1.4 µm were prepared by selenization of ZnSn(OH)6 microcubes successfully. The shell thickness of ZnSe/SnSe2 hollow microcubes is about 250 nm. On one hand, the hollow cubic structure can effectively alleviate the volume effect, provide shorter ion diffusion paths, and increase the contact area with the electrolyte. On the other hand, ZnSe/SnSe2 heterojunction structure can establish a built-in electric field to facilitate ion transport. The synergistic effect of the two leads to the improved electrochemical performance of ZnSe/SnSe2 as the cathode of aluminum ion batteries. The material delivered a reversible capacity of 124 mAh/g after 150 cycles at a current density of 100 mA/g. Meanwhile, coulombic efficiency remained above 98% in almost all cycles. In addition, the electrochemical reaction mechanism and kinetic process of Al3+ and ZnSe/SnSe2 were studied.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials (OEMs) have shown enormous potential in ion batteries because of their varied structural components and adaptable construction. As a brand-new energy-storage device, rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (RAIBs) have also received a lot of attention due to their high safety and low cost. OEMs are expected to stand out among many traditional RAIB cathode materials. However, how to improve the electrochemical performance of OEMs in RAIBs on a laboratory scale is still challenging. This work reviews and discusses the uses of conductive polymers, carbonyl compounds, imine polymers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organic frameworks, and other organic materials as the cathodes of RAIBs, as well as energy-storage mechanisms and research progress. It is hoped that this Review can provide the design guidelines for organic cathode materials with high capacity and great stability used in aluminum-organic batteries and develop more efficient organic energy storage cathodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs), with abundant aluminum reserves, low cost, and high safety, give them outstanding advantages in the postlithium batteries era. However, the high charge density (364 C mm-3 ) and large binding energy of three-electron-charge aluminum ions (Al3+ ) de-intercalation usually lead to irreversible structural deterioration and decayed battery performance. Herein, to mitigate these inherent defects from Al3+ , an unexplored family of superlattice-type tungsten selenide-sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) (S-WSe2 ) cathode in RABs with a stably crystal structure, expanded interlayer, and enhanced Al-ion diffusion kinetic process is proposed. Benefiting from the unique advantage of superlattice-type structure, the anionic surfactant SDBS in S-WSe2 can effectively tune the interlayer spacing of WSe2 with released crystal strain from high-charge-density Al3+ and achieve impressively long-term cycle stability (110 mAh g-1 over 1500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 ). Meanwhile, the optimized S-WSe2 cathode with intrinsic negative attraction of SDBS significantly accelerates the Al3+ diffusion process with one of the best rate performances (165 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 ) in RABs. The findings of this study pave a new direction toward durable and high-performance electrode materials for RABs.

Abstract
The fabrication of cathode materials with ideal kinetic behavior is important to improve the electrochemical performance of aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs). Transition metal selenides have the advantages of abundant reserves and high discharge specific capacity and discharge voltage plateau, which makes them a promising material for rechargeable AIBs. It is well-known that the low structural stability and relatively poor reaction kinetics pose a considerable challenge to the development of AIBs. The cubic structure of Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se can adapt to the volume change of the active material during cycling and facilitate the intercalation and deintercalation of chloroaluminate anions in the cathode material. We created a two-fold protection mechanism for AIBs with a CMK-3 modified separator and a Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se heterojunction coated with MXene in order to better mitigate the detrimental impacts. In addition to offering numerous electronic transmission routes, MXene and CMK-3 help prevent the solubilization of active species. This novel design enables the Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se@MXene composite to have a high initial discharge capacity of 705.5 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1. Even after 1500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1, the capacity is still maintained at 225.1 mAh g-1. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of AlCl4- intercalated/deintercalated into Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se heterojunction is revealed during charge/discharge. This work to construct novel cathode materials has greatly improved the electrochemical performance of AIBs.

Abstract
Transition metal selenides have shown outstanding performance as cathode materials for aluminum-ion batteries and have thus become a popular choice for cathode materials. Herein, Mn-based carbon fibers (Mn/CNFs) were first synthesized by electrospinning as a precursor, and then MnSe composites were prepared by a melt-diffusion method. However, due to polyselenides and selenides being generated during electrochemical reactions, the cycling stability of MnSe cathode materials is poor. After 200 cycles, the discharge specific capacity is only 176 mA h/g. To suppress the shuttle effect of selenides and polyselenides, a CMK-3-modified separator was used instead of a glass fiber separator. Compared with MnSe-800, the replaced MnSe-800/CMK-3 has a great capacity improvement; the initial discharge specific capacity is 1029.85 mA h/g, which after 3000 cycles, still remains at 297.84 mA h/g. The soft pack battery can still light up the LED normally under different degrees of folding, which proves the application of this material in wearable devices. This work provides a new way to improve the performance of transition metal selenides.

Transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) with tunable direct bandgaps and interlayer spacing are attractive for energy-related applications. Semiconducting zinc chalcogenides, especially their selenides (ZnSe) and tellurides (ZnTe), with enhanced conductivity, high theoretical capacity, low operation voltage and abundance, have appeared on the horizon and receive increasing interest in terms of electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Despite the existing typical obstruction owing to the large volume change, relatively low electrical conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics into the bulk phase, several effective strategies such as compositing, doping, nanostructuring, and electrode/cell design have exhibited promising applications. We herein provide a timely and systematic overview of recent research and significant advances regarding ZnSe, ZnTe and their hybrids/composites, covering synthesis to electrode design and to applications, especially in advanced Li/Na/K-ion batteries, as well as the reaction mechanisms thereof. It is hoped that the overview will shed new light on the development of ZnSe and ZnTe for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Energy storage has become increasingly important as a study area in recent decades. A growing number of academics are focusing their attention on developing and researching innovative materials for use in energy storage systems to promote sustainable development goals. This is due to the finite supply of traditional energy sources, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, and escalating regional tensions. Because of these issues, sustainable renewable energy sources have been touted as an alternative to nonrenewable fuels. Deployment of renewable energy sources requires efficient and reliable energy storage devices due to their intermittent nature. High-performance electrochemical energy storage technologies with high power and energy densities are heralded to be the next-generation storage devices. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have sparked interest among electrode materials because of their intriguing electrochemical properties. Researchers have revealed a variety of modifications to improve their electrochemical performance in energy storage. However, a stronger link between the type of change and the resulting electrochemical performance is still desired. This review examines the synthesis of chalcogenides for electrochemical energy storage devices, their limitations, and the importance of the modification method, followed by a detailed discussion of several modification procedures and how they have helped to improve their electrochemical performance. We also discussed chalcogenides and their composites in batteries and supercapacitors applications. Furthermore, this review discusses the subject’s current challenges as well as potential future opportunities.
