Abstract
Bimetallic spinel transition metal oxides play a major part in actualizing eco-friendly electrochemical energy storage systems (ESSs). However, structural precariousness and low electrochemical capacitance restrict their actual implementation in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To address these demerits, the sacrificial template approach has been considered as a prospective way to strengthen electrochemical stability and rate performance. Herein, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived XMn2O4-BDC (H2BDC = 1,4-dicarboxybenzene, X = Zn, Co, Cu, Ni) are prepared by a hydrothermal approach in order to discover the effects of various metal cations on the electrochemical performance. Among them, ZnMn2O4-BDC displays best electrochemical properties (1321.5 mAh g-1 at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 after 300 cycles) and high efficiency with accelerated Li+ diffusivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm the ZnMn2O4 possesses the weakest adsorption energy on Li+ with a minimized value of -0.92 eV. In comparison with other XMn2O4 through traditional fabrication method, MOF-derived XMn2O4-BDC possesses a higher number of Li+ transport channels and better electric conductivity. This tactic provides a feasible and effective method for preparing bimetallic transition metal oxides and enhances energy storage applications.

Abstract
Complex hollow structure nanostructure is regarded as the desired approach to alleviating the volume change of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, ZnS/NiS/NiS2 composite with a distinctive hierarchical hollow porous urchin-like structure was prepared through pyrolysis of bimetal-organic frameworks obtained by one-step solvothermal and firstly used as anodes for LIBs. Varying the metal molar ratios allows the control of the surface area and pore size distribution of ZnS/NiS/NiS2. The obtained composite with a hollow porous urchin-like structure exhibits high porosity, large specific surface area, and strong synergetic interaction between ZnS and NiS/NiS2 can greatly buffer the volume expansion to keep the mechanical stability, ensure sufficient contact region between electrolyte and electrodes and shorten the Li+ transfer distance, meanwhile, the carbon derived from organic ligand of bimetal-organic frameworks also constructs the conductive matrix to accelerate electrons transfer. Based on the above outstanding properties, the obtained material delivers excellent rate capacity, superior reversible capacity, and long-cycle stability, especially disclosing a capacity of 615 mAh·g-1 after 300 cycles at 2 A·g-1. This work proposes a feasible strategy to obtain a unique hollow porous urchin-like structure through pyrolysis of bimetal organic frameworks, it can be extended to fabricate other mixed metal sulfides nanostructures with excellent electrochemical performances.

Abstract
Conversion anode materials such as Mn3O4 draw much attention due to their considerable theoretical capacity for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, poor conductivity, slow solid-state Li-ion diffusion, and huge volume expansion of the active materials during charge/discharge lead to unsatisfied electrochemical performance. Despite several strategies like nanocrystallization, fabricating hierarchical nanostructures, and introducing a matrix are valid to address these crucial issues, the achieved electrochemical performance still needs to be further enhanced. What is worse, the matrix with less or no Li-ion storage activity may lower the achieved capacity of the electrodes. Herein, ultra-thin CuMnO2 nanosheets with the thickness of 5-8 nm were evaluated for LIBs. The ultra-thin sheet-like nanostructure offers sufficient contact areas with electrolyte and shortens the Li-ion diffusion distance. Moreover, the in-situ generated Mn and Cu along with their oxides could play the role of matrix and conductive agent in turn at different stages, relieving the stress brought by volume expansion. Therefore, the as-prepared ultra-thin CuMnO2 nanosheets electrode displays a remarkable reversible capacity, long cycling stability, and outstanding rate capability (a reversible capacity of 1160.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1A g-1 was retained after 100 cycles with a capacity retention of 95.1 %, and 717.8 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 after 400 cycles).

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries with conversion-type anode electrodes have attracted increasing interest in providing higher energy storage density than those with commercial intercalation-type electrodes. However, conversion-type materials exhibit severe structural instability and capacity fade during cycling. In this work, a molecular layer deposition (MLD)-derived conductive Al2O3/carbon layer was employed to stabilize the structure of the cactus-like NiCo2O4 nanocrystal (NC) anode. The conductive Al2O3/carbon network and cactus-like NiCo2O4 NCs are beneficial for fast Li+/e- transport. Moreover, the Al2O3/carbon buffer-layer can prevent the NiCo2O4 NCs from agglomeration and form a steady solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), thus hampering the penetration of the electrolyte. Owing to these advantages, the assembled NiCo2O4@Al2O3/carbon half battery shows a high reversible capacity (931.2 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1) and long-term stability of 290 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 over 500 cycles. Quantitative analyses further reveal the fast kinetics and the capacitance-battery dual model mechanism in the 3D core-shell structures. The design and introduction of MLD-derived hybrid coating may open a new way to conversion-type and alloy-type anode materials beyond NiCo2O4 to achieve high cyclability.

Abstract
Transition metal nitrides are of great interest as potential anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high theoretical capacity. However, poor cycling stability and rate performance greatly hinder their practical applications. To better alleviate these problems, a unique 3D hierarchical nanocomposite constructed by dual carbon-coated Co5.47N nano-grains wrapped with carbon and reduced graphene oxide (Co5.47N@C@rGO) was synthesized through one-step simultaneous nitridation and carbonization of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks@GO precursor. The 3D hierarchical Co5.47N@C@rGO composite can combine the good conductivity and mechanical strength of rGO and a high theoretical capacity of Co5.47N. When explored as anode material for LIBs, Co5.47N@C@rGO exhibits a high reversible capacity of ~860 mAh g-1 at a current density of 1.0 A g-1 after 500 cycles and excellent high-rate capability (665 and 573 mAh g-1 at current densities of 3.2 and 6.4 A g-1, respectively). The excellent electrochemical performance of Co5.47N@C@rGO can be ascribed to its hierarchically porous structure and the synergistic effect between Co5.47N nano-grains and rGO.

Abstract
Herein, a synthetic strategy for growing trimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) polyhedrons on copper foam (CF) and interweaving with copper nanowires (CNWs) is proposed. Subsequently, in situ annealing under N2 atmosphere leads to the formation of multi-doped CNWs/Cu0.39Zn0.14Co2.47O4-ZnO/CF (CNWs/CZCOZ/CF). The unique structural characteristics of CNWs/CZCOZ/CF allow it to be directly assembled as a working electrode, without additional conductive additives or binders. When it's used as the lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode, this electrode exhibits a significantly high capacity of 2305 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 500 cycles. More importantly, kinetic analysis on the basis of cyclic voltammograms (CVs) indicates that the pseudocapacitive effect is the primary contributor to the high lithium storage capacity and also accounts for the exceptionally high rate capacity of 713 mAh g-1 even if the current density is at a maximum of 10 A g-1. Moreover, the superior battery performance originates from their advantageous structural diversity and unique compositional features, including synergistic effects among polymetallic components and two highly conductive substrates (CNWs and CF), forming unhindered paths for fast charge transfer.

Abstract
Although the Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted remarkable attentions, their practical development is hindered by the low rate performance and poor unit area capacity, which is significantly caused by the low conductivity of the active electrode materials. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) architecture consisting of Ag nanodots embedded MoSe2 sheets wrapping Cu(OH)2 nanorods (Cu(OH)2/MoSe2/Ag) hybrids were in-situ synthesized on self-standing Cu- foam collector for LIBs application. The 2D MoSe2 nanoflakes supported on 1D highly conductive Cu nanowires provides efficient pathways for both electrons and ions. The embedded Ag nanodots in the MoSe2 as the internal-plane active sites not only improves the intrinsic conductivity but also allows the reversible formation and decompose of Ag-Li alloy, and thus leading to the promotion of Li+ ion storage. As a result, the Cu(OH)2/MoSe2/Ag electrode exhibits a high reversible discharge capacity of 1285.5 mAh g-1 (current density of 0.2 C), good rate performance (discharge-specific capacity remained 544.8 mAh g-1 at 5.0C), and excellent cycling stability (with almost no decay after 500 cycles). Significantly, the 3D Cu(OH)2/MoSe2/Ag electrode exhibits a high areal capacity of 2.50 mAh cm-2 at a high current density of 1.82 mA cm-2. This work provides the new insight into interfaces engineering for 3D architecture toward advanced self-standing LIB electrodes.

Abstract
Inspite of their impressive high theoretical capacity as Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anodes, spinel transition-metal oxides (TMOs) suffer serious volume expansion, aggregation and the pulverization of crystal structures during lithiation/delithiation, and this process severely restrict their industrial application. Multi-dimensional morphological engineering of spinel TMO nanostructures is an effective way to solve this issue. In this work, using facile hydrothermal synthetic methods, spinel CuCo2O4 nanowires arrays are synthesized and supported on g-C3N4 nanosheets, thus forming a unique sandwich-like interconnected three-dimensional mesoporous structure containing high amount of void spaces. Addition of g-C3N4 nanosheets to CuCo2O4 nanowire arrays may shorten the Li+ diffusion distance and electron transfer pathway, and may also provide more active sites for Li+ diffusion into electrolyte and buffer for the volume expansion and aggregation of CuCo2O4. As a LIB anode material, CuCo2O4@g-C3N4 shows initial lithiation capacity of 840.6 mAh g-1, and capacity retention of 641.2 mAh g-1 after 60 cycles at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 and 499.2 mAh g-1 after 40 cycles at high current of 1 A g-1, which is significantly better than value of pure CuCo2O4 nanowires. This work affords a new way to tackle the problem of volume expansion of high capacity spinel TMO anode materials using g-C3N4 nanosheets as buffering agent.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have been investigated as promising anodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries, but they usually suffer from poor conductivity and large volume variation, thus leading to unsatisfactory performance. Although nanostructure engineering and hybridization with conductive materials have been proposed to address this concern, a better performance toward practical device applications is still highly desired. Herein, we report an iron-doping-induced structural phase transition from pyrite-type (cubic) to marcasite-type (orthorhombic) phases in porous carbon/rGO-coupled CoSe2. The dual-carbon-confined orthorhombic CoSe2 ( o-Fe xCo1- xSe2@NC@rGO) composites exhibit dramatically enhanced lithium storage performance (920 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1) over cubic CoSe2-based composites ( c-CoSe2@NC@rGO). The combined experimental studies and density functional theory calculations reveal that this doping-induced structural phase transformation strategy could create a favorable electronic structure and ensure a rapid charge transfer. These results demonstrate that the phase-transformation engineering may provide another opportunity in the design of high-performance TMC-based electrodes.
