Abstract
Two-dimensional semiconductors with suitable indirect band gaps, excellent light absorption capacity, and oxidation resistance are particularly suitable for material applications. Here based on first-principle calculations, we report that the FeP2 monolayer, which is isoelectronic with MoS2, has novel electronic properties and an ultra-low diffusion energy barrier of K on the surface, indicating its potential as an anode material of K-ion batteries. The calculated phonon dispersion curves, molecular dynamics, and elastic constants showed that it has high structural stability and oxidation resistance. The monolayer was a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of 0.68 eV. In addition, the FeP2 monolayer had obvious light absorption in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet regions, which can be widely used in optoelectronic devices. Bonding analysis showed that there were multicenter bonds inside every hexagonal ring. As the anode material of K-ion batteries, the FeP2 monolayer had a capacity of 456.84 mA h g-1, low diffusion energy barrier, and open-circuit voltage. All these characteristics suggest that the FeP2 monolayer is a potential anode material for K-ion batteries, which needs to be further verified by experiments.

Abstract
The design and development of new and light weight two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures as anode materials to enhance the electrochemical properties for Li-ion batteries (LIB's) is a challenge. In this work, using first-principles study, we have demonstrated that the ratio of two-dimensional polyaniline (C3N) and graphene in the multilayer heterostructures plays a major role to define the Li storage properties and to provide metallicity for easy conduction of electrons. We have found that charge transfer between Li and the host depends on the interface and site, which helps in the improvement in specific capacity. The proposed heterostructures shows specific capacity varies from 558 mAh/gm to 423 mAh/gm. The specific capacity is high for heterostructures with more graphene in ratio which is correlated to higher charge accumulation in the host. Also, graphene helps to minimize the open-circuit voltage (OCV) of C3N and maintained an average of 0.4 V. The volume expansion for fully lithiated heterostructures is within 22 %. Li diffusion barrier energy varies in the range of 0.57 to 0.25 eV. The proposed 2D heterostructures could be a future material for anode in LIB's and the description of the interface effect on Li storage properties will help for further development of 2D heterostructure materials.

Abstract
Structural stability and rapid charge-discharge capability of electrode materials are required for high performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The materials derived from polyoxometalates (POMs) show special advantages in inhibiting capacity attenuation, and good dispersion or combination of POMs with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an important method to obtain high activity anode composites for LIBs. In this study, a uniform MoO2/MoS2 heterostructure with surface supported carbon (C-MoO2/MoS2) was successfully fabricated from a [Cu2(BTC)4/3(H2O)2]6[H3PMo12O40] precursor, which showed not only the designed octahedral morphology but also fast charge transfer, long working life, and high rate performance. Superior reversible lithium storage capacity of 1047 mA h g-1 after 300 cycles was obtained at 1 A g-1. Even after 700 cycles at 5 A g-1, the discharge specific capacity of 646 mA h g-1 was maintained, and rate capability of 610 mA h g-1 could be achieved at 10 A g-1. The high capacitive contribution could be explained by the relatively large specific surface area of porous C-MoO2/MoS2, which was mainly caused by the supported carbon network and MoS2 nanosheets, resulting in fast lithiation/delithiation processes.

Abstract
Photocatalytic activity of molybdenum disulfide structures with different dimensions (0D, 1D and 2D) functionalized with polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) is presented. MoS2nanotubes (1D), nanoflakes (2D) and quantum dots (0D, QDs) were used, respectively, as co-catalysts of PCN in photocatalytic water splitting reaction to evolve hydrogen. Although, 2D-PCN showed the highest light absorption in visible range and the most enhanced photocurrent response after irradiation with light from 460 to 727 nm, QDs-PCN showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency. The detailed analysis revealed that the superior photocatalytic activity of QDs-PCN in comparison with other structures of MoS2arose from (i) the most effective separation of photoexcited electron-hole pairs, (ii) the most enhanced up-converted photoluminescence (UCPL), (iii) the highest reactivity of electrons in conduction band. Moreover, a narrowed size of QDs affected shorter diffusion path of charge carriers to active reaction sites, higher number of the sites and higher interfacial area between molybdenum disulfide and PCN.

Abstract
Li-ion batteries attract great attention due to the rapidly increasing and urgent demand for high energy storage devices. MAX phase compounds, layered ternary transition metal carbides and/or nitrides show promise as candidate materials of electrodes for Li-ion batteries. However, the highest specific capacity reported up to now is relatively low (180 mA h g-1), preventing them from use in real applications. Exploring more MAX phase compounds with delaminated two-dimensional structure is an effective solution to increase the specific capacity. Herein, we report the reversible electrochemical intercalation of Li+ into Ti2SnC (MAX phase) nanosheets. Owing to the synergistic effects of intercalation and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-assisted exfoliation, Ti2SnC nanosheets are successfully obtained via sonication in DMSO. Moreover, when using as an anode of a Li-ion battery, Ti2SnC nanosheets exhibited an increasing specific capacity with cycling due to the exfoliation of Ti2SnC nanosheets via reversible Li-ion intercalation. After 1000 charge-discharge cycles, Ti2SnC nanosheets delivered a high specific capacity of 735 mA h g-1 at a current density of 50 mA g-1, which is far better than other MAX phases, such as Ti2SC, Ti3SiC2 and Nb2SnC. The current work demonstrates the Li-ion storage potential and indicates a novel strategy for further intercalation and delamination of MAX phases.

Abstract
Doping of graphene and a controlled induction of disturbances in the graphene lattice allows the production of numerous active sites for lithium ions on the surface and edges of graphene nanolayers and improvement of the functionality of the material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This work presents the process of introducing boron and fluorine atoms into the structure of the reduced graphene during hydrothermal reaction with boron fluoride tetrahydrofuran (BF3·THF). The described process is a simple, one-step synthesis with little to no side products. The synthesized materials showed an irregular, porous structure, with an average pore size of 3.44–3.61 nm (total pore volume (BJH)) and a multi-layer structure and a developed specific surface area at the level of 586–660 m2/g (analysis of specific surface Area (BET)). On the external surfaces, the occurrence of irregular particles with a size of 0.5 to 10 µm was observed, most probably the effect of doping the graphene structure and the formation of sp3 hybridization defects. The obtained materials show the ability to store electric charge due to the development of the specific surface area. Based on cyclic voltammetry, the tested material showed a capacity of 450–550 mAh/g (charged up to 2.5 V).

Abstract
MXenes, as a new type of two-dimensional layered structure material, have attracted much attention. MXenes have high electronic conductivity, a large specific area, excellent mechanical properties and a unique layered structure and have been extensively used in energy storage, adsorption, catalysis and other fields. In recent years, Mxenes and their composite materials have been widely used in the field of secondary batteries. Although oxides, sulfides and other materials have high capacity, there are problems such as low conductivity, volume expansion in the reaction process, poor cycling stability, etc. Therefore, building composite materials with MXenes can not only improve the capacity but also enhance the electronic conductivity of the materials, effectively alleviate volume expansion in the reaction process, and achieve better electrochemical performance. This article reviews the latest research status of MXenes, the synthesis methods, properties and application of MXenes and their composite materials in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), briefly introduces the research background of SIBs, PIBs and MXenes, and focuses on the application research of MXene composite materials in SIBs and PIBs, including classification according to sulfide, oxide and carbon materials. Finally, the development and application prospects of MXenes and their composite materials are summarized.

Abstract
Based on first principles calculation, the adsorption properties of Li atoms and LiF molecules on the fluorographene (CFx) surface with different F/C ratios (x = 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.5 and ∼0.0) have been studied in the present work. The calculated binding energy of Li and CFx is greater than 2.29 eV under different F/C ratios, indicating that the battery has the potential to maintain a high discharge platform during the whole discharge process. But the adsorption energies of LiF on a CFx layer for different F/C ratios are 0.12–1.04 eV, which means LiF is not easy to desorb from a CFx surface even at room temperature. It will stay on the surface for a long time and affect the subsequent discharge. Current calculations also show the structure of the CFx-skeleton will change greatly during the reaction, when there are many unsaturated carbon atoms on the CFx surface, such as at x = 0.8 and 0.5. Moreover, the discharge voltage is strongly dependent on the discharge site. After discharge, the CFx-skeleton may continue to relax and release a lot of heat energy. Based on first principles calculation, the adsorption properties of Li atoms and LiF molecules on the fluorographene (CFx) surface with different F/C ratio (x = 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.5 and ∼0.0) have been studied in the present work.![]()

Abstract
Na-ion batteries are viewed as the alternative to Li-ion batteries for similar electrochemical properties, while they always suffer from a low capacity. Na-O2 batteries are important due to their high energy density; however, they are usually limited by high overpotential. In this manuscript, 16 different heterostructures of TMDs with MXenes (bare and O-terminated case) are constructed and their potential in the application of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and Na-O2 batteries is explored. Among these structures, it is proved that only the heterostructures of VS2 with O-terminated MXenes could load five layers of Na+ ions, while the others will have a distortion when Na+ ions intercalate or diffuse in the interlayer or the second adsorption layer. The ultrasmall diffusion barrier of Na+ ion denotes that these structures have a fast charge/discharge speed, and the ultrasmall open circuit voltages (OCVs) of 0.18 and 0.21 V prove that they are promising candidates for SIBs. The ultralow overpotential 0.55 V/0.20 V for the ηORR/ηOER means that the O facet of the VS2/Ti2CO2 heterostructure also has a great potential in the application of Na-O2 batteries. These simulations prove that the heterostructures constructed by TMDs with MXenes have great potential in SIBs and Na-O2 batteries and are important for future battery design.

Abstract
MXenes, a new family of two-dimensional (2D) materials with excellent electronic conductivity and hydrophilicity, have shown distinctive advantages as a highly conductive matrix material for lithium-ion battery anodes. Herein, a facile electrostatic self-assembly of SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) on Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets is proposed. The as-prepared SnO2/MXene hybrids have a unique 0D-2D structure, in which the 0D SnO2 QDs (~ 4.7 nm) are uniformly distributed over 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene sheets with controllable loading amount. The SnO2 QDs serve as a high capacity provider and the "spacer" to prevent the MXene sheets from restacking; the highly conductive Ti3C2Tx MXene can not only provide efficient pathways for fast transport of electrons and Li ions, but also buffer the volume change of SnO2 during lithiation/delithiation by confining SnO2 QDs between the MXene nanosheets. Therefore, the 0D-2D SnO2 QDs/MXene hybrids deliver superior lithium storage properties with high capacity (887.4 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1), stable cycle performance (659.8 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 91%) and excellent rate performance (364 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1), making it a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) layer-structured titanium carbide MXenes (e.g., 2D Ti3C2 MXene) have received tremendous attention owing to their excellent properties and unique 2D planar topology. Nevertheless, there are still several challenges to be addressed for well dispersibility and easy separation from a heterogeneous system, hindering the practical applications. Herein, 2D Ti3C2 MXene, as the most typical member of 2D MXenes, is functionalized with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles via an in situ growth approach (designated as MXene@Fe3O4), which exhibits the intriguing phenomenon on methylene blue (MB) adsorption in the environmental remediation realm. The maximum adsorption capacity of the MXene@Fe3O4 composites for MB is calculated to be 11.68 mg·g-1 by a Langmuir isotherm model. A thermodynamic study of the adsorption demonstrates that the reaction process is exothermic and entropy-driven. Attractively, the removal process is a pH-independent process, and the optimal MB adsorption capacity is achieved at pH = 3 or 11, which is ascribed to electrostatic interactions and the hydrogen bond effect. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculation results reveal that the adsorption process is based on a combination of Ti-OH···N bonding, electrostatic attraction, and reductivity. Furthermore, multiple cycle runs demonstrate an excellent stability and reusability of MXene@Fe3O4 composites. This study provides a promising approach for the alternative removal of MB and broadens the potential application of 2D MXene for the treatment of practical acidic or alkaline wastewater.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides (MXenes) are widely adopted as potential electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) owing to their metallic conductivity, rich tunable surface chemistry, and atomic thickness with highly exposed active sites. Previously published theoretical results indicate that MXenes functionalized entirely with oxygen have lower ΔGH* for HER. However, MXenes contain many terminal F groups on the basal plane, which is detrimental to the HER. Herein, the development of an ultrathin Ti3 C2 MXene nanosheet fully functionalized with oxygen is reported for the HER. The obtained oxygen-functionalized Ti3 C2 (Ti3 C2 Ox ) exhibits a much higher HER activity (190 mV at 10 mA cm-2 ) than that of Ti3 C2 Tx (T=F, OH, and O). The improved HER performance is attributed to the highly active O sites on the basal plane of Ti3 C2 Tx MXenes. This study paves way for electrocatalytic applications of MXene materials by tuning their surface functional groups.

Abstract
In this work, a facile salt-templated approach is developed for the preparation of hollow FeSe2 /graphitic carbon composite microspheres as sodium-ion battery anodes; these are composed of interconnected multicavities and an enclosed surface in-plane embedded with uniform hollow FeSe2 nanoparticles. As the precursor, Fe2 O3 /carbon microspheres containing NaCl nanocrystals are obtained using one-pot ultrasonic spray pyrolysis in which inexpensive NaCl and dextrin are used as a porogen and carbon source, respectively, enabling mass production of the composites. During post-treatment, Fe2 O3 nanoparticles in the composites transform into hollow FeSe2 nanospheres via the Kirkendall effect. These rational structures provide numerous conductive channels to facilitate ion/electron transport and enhance the capacitive contribution. Moreover, the synergistic effect between the hollow cavities within FeSe2 and the outstanding mechanical strength of the porous carbon matrix can effectively accommodate the large volume changes during cycling. Correspondingly, the composite microsphere exhibits high discharge capacity of 510 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.2 A g-1 with capacity retention of 88% when calculated from the second cycle. Even at a high current density of 5.0 A g-1 , a high discharge capacity of 417 mA h g-1 can be achieved.

In situ synthesis of tin dioxide submicrorods anchored on nickel foam as an additive-free anode for high performance sodium-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2019; 533:733-741.

Abstract
A hybrid of tin dioxide submicrorods anchored on conductive nickel foam (SnO2 submicrorods-Ni foam) is in-situ synthesized via a hydrothermal and a subsequent heat treatment by using stannic chloride and sodium hydroxide as the starting materials. Characterization results indicate that the synthesized SnO2 submicrorods has a length of ∼400 nm and a diameter of ∼150 nm anchoring tightly on Ni foam. The electrochemical properties of the material as an additive-free anode for sodium-ion batteries are investigated. And a comparative research of the reversible sodium storage properties between the additive-free electrode of SnO2 submicrorods-Ni foam and the additive electrode of SnO2 rod-assembly microspheres is carried out. The results demonstrate that the SnO2 submicrorods-Ni foam is a highly attractive anode for sodium ion batteries, which could exhibit much better sodium storage properties than the SnO2 rod-assembly microspheres and other reported SnO2-based additive electrodes. The excellent sodium storage properties of the SnO2 submicrorods-Ni foam electrode can be attributed to its structure advantages without additive-assistant, which increase sodium storage active sites, facilitate the electronic/ionic transport and stabilize the total electrode structure during charge-discharge process.

Abstract
2D oxide nanomaterials constitute a broad range of materials, with a wide array of current and potential applications, particularly in the fields of energy storage and catalysis for sustainable energy production. Despite the many similarities in structure, composition, and synthetic methods and uses, the current literature on layered oxides is diverse and disconnected. A number of reviews can be found in the literature, but they are mostly focused on one of the particular subclasses of 2D oxides. This review attempts to bridge the knowledge gap between individual layered oxide types by summarizing recent developments in all important 2D oxide systems including supported ultrathin oxide films, layered clays and double hydroxides, layered perovskites, and novel 2D-zeolite-based materials. Particular attention is paid to the underlying similarities and differences between the various materials, and the subsequent challenges faced by each research community. The potential of layered oxides toward future applications is critically evaluated, especially in the areas of electrocatalysis and photocatalysis, biomass conversion, and fine chemical synthesis. Attention is also paid to corresponding novel 3D materials that can be obtained via sophisticated engineering of 2D oxides.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have attracted considerable interest owing to their satisfied theoretical capacity, good safety and environmentally benign nature in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the poor conductivity as well as the severe volume changes during the discharge-charge process cause capacity fading rapidly, which severely impede the practical applications of TMCs. To address this challenge, a hollow hybrid architecture assembled by NixCo1-xSe2 nanosheets and strongly coupled porous carbon have been rational designed. Within this structure, the integration of nanosheets rooted on the surface of porous carbon not only provide three-dimensional conductive network but also offer plentiful pathways and active sites for electrolyte penetration and Li storage, and buffer a large volume expansion/contraction caused by lithium intercalation/deintercalation. As evidenced by electrochemical measurements, the NixCo1-xSe2/C composites used as anodes in LIBs exhibit a superior reversible high capacity of 1667 mA h g-1 at current density of 2.0 A g-1 over 600 cycles and an outstanding rate capability (1580 and 1093 mA h g-1 at 3.2 and 6.4 A g-1, respectively).

Abstract
Intensive research effort is currently focused on the development of efficient, reliable, and environmentally safe electrochemical energy storage systems due to the ever-increasing global energy storage demand. Li ion battery systems have been used as the primary energy storage device over the last three decades. However, low abundance and uneven distribution of lithium and cobalt in the earth crust and the associated cost of these materials, have resulted in a concerted effort to develop beyond lithium electrochemical storage systems. In the case of non-Li ion rechargeable systems, the development of electrode materials is a significant challenge, considering the larger ionic size of the metal-ions and slower kinetics. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, MXenes and phosphorene, have garnered significant attention recently due to their multi-faceted advantageous properties: large surface areas, high electrical and thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, etc. Consequently, the study of 2D materials as negative electrodes is of notable importance as emerging non-Li battery systems continue to generate increasing attention. Among these interesting materials, graphene has already been extensively studied and reviewed, hence this report focuses on 2D materials beyond graphene for emerging non-Li systems. We provide a comparative analysis of 2D material chemistry, structure, and performance parameters as anode materials in rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors.

Abstract
Wearable electronic devices represent a paradigm change in consumer electronics, on-body sensing, artificial skins, and wearable communication and entertainment. Because all these electronic devices require energy to operate, wearable energy systems are an integral part of wearable devices. Essentially, the electrodes and other components present in these energy devices should be mechanically strong, flexible, lightweight, and comfortable to the user. Presented here is a critical review of those materials and devices developed for energy conversion and storage applications with an objective to be used in wearable devices. The focus is mainly on the advances made in the field of solar cells, triboelectric generators, Li-ion batteries, and supercapacitors for wearable device development. As these devices need to be attached/integrated with the fabric, the discussion is limited to devices made in the form of ribbons, filaments, and fibers. Some of the important challenges and future directions to be pursued are also highlighted.

Abstract
Ti3 C2 Tx , a typical representative among the emerging family of 2D layered transition metal carbides and/or nitrides referred to as MXenes, has exhibited multiple advantages including metallic conductivity, a plastic layer structure, small band gaps, and the hydrophilic nature of its functionalized surface. As a result, this 2D material is intensively investigated for application in the energy storage field. The composition, morphology and texture, surface chemistry, and structural configuration of Ti3 C2 Tx directly influence its electrochemical performance, e.g., the use of a well-designed 2D Ti3 C2 Tx as a rechargeable battery anode has significantly enhanced battery performance by providing more chemically active interfaces, shortened ion-diffusion lengths, and improved in-plane carrier/charge-transport kinetics. Some recent progresses of Ti3 C2 Tx MXene are achieved in energy storage. This Review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis and electrochemical energy storage applications of Ti3 C2 Tx MXene including supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries. The current opportunities and future challenges of Ti3 C2 Tx MXene are addressed for energy-storage devices. This Review seeks to provide a rational and in-depth understanding of the relation between the electrochemical performance and the nanostructural/chemical composition of Ti3 C2 Tx , which will promote the further development of 2D MXenes in energy-storage applications.

Abstract
Tin sulfide/graphene nanocomposite with hexagonal tin sulfide (SnS2) nanoplates anchored on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets was easily synthesized by one-step controllable hydrothermal growth followed by mild reduction. The SnS2 hexagonal-plates distributed tightly and uniformly on the RGO support in a more favorable face-to-face (FTF) manner. The formation of SnS2 nanoplates with hexagonal morphology may result from the accelerating growth of six energetically equivalent high-index (1 1 0) crystal planes and prohibiting growth of the (0 0 1) crystal plane on graphene. The FTF architecture is beneficial for the optimal electric contact efficiency of SnS2 nanoplates with RGO matrix, thus leading to the greatly enhanced electrochemical performance of SnS2/RGO composite than bare SnS2. The graphene-constructed two-dimensional integrated conductive networks minimize the transport paths of electrons and Na ions between electrode and electrolyte as well as accommodate the mechanical strain during long term cyclic. The SnS2/RGO composite exhibits great application potential as an anode for sodium ion batteries with the advantages of unique structure and superior sodium storage performance.
