[PMID: 38513410 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.03.115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Li-rich disordered rock-salt oxides (DRX) are considered an attractive cathode material in the future battery field due to their excellent energy density and specific capacity. Nevertheless, anionic redox provides high capacity while causing O2 over-oxidation to O2, resulting in voltage hysteresis and capacity decay. Herein, the crystal structure of Li1.3Mn0.4Ti0.3O1.7F0.3 (LMTOF) cathode is stabilized by using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) binders replacing traditional polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) binders. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) reveal that the CMC-based LMTOF electrode has higher electronic conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion kinetics. Moreover, CMC has been demonstrated to improve the O2- reversibility, reduce the amounts of byproducts from electrolyte decomposition and suppress transition metal dissolution by Na+/Li+ exchange reaction. Furthermore, the CMC-based LMTOF electrode also exhibits less volume change upon lithiation/delithiation processes compared to the PVDF-based electrode, resulting in enhanced structural stability during cycling. Benefiting from these features, the CMC binders can effectively improve the cycling life and rate performance of the LMTOF cathode, and the CMC-based LMTOF electrode shows good capacity retention of 94.5 % after 30 cycles at 20 mA/g and 66.7 % after 100 cycles at 200 mA/g. This finding indicates that CMC as a binder can efficiently stabilize the structure and improve the electrochemical performance of Li-rich disordered rock-salt oxides cathode, making it possible for practical Li-ion battery applications.

Abstract
Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) is regarded as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its affordability, non-toxic nature, and excellent structural stability. However, its electrochemical performance is hampered by its poor electronic conductivity. Meanwhile, most of the previous studies utilized spray-drying and sol-gel methods to synthesize Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7), and the large-scale synthesis of the cathode material is still challenging. This study presents a composite cathode material, Na4Fe2.94Al0.04(PO4)2(P2O7)/C, prepared via a straightforward ball-milling technique. By substituting Al3+ minimally into the Fe2+ site of NFPP, Fe defects are introduced into the structure, hindering the formation of NaFePO4 and thereby enhancing Na-ion diffusion kinetics and conductivity. Additionally, the average length of AlO bonds (2.18 Å) is slightly smaller than that of FeO bonds (2.19 Å), contributing to the superior structural stability. The smaller ionic radii of Al3+ induce lattice contraction, further enhancing the structural stability. Moreover, the surface of material particles is coated with a thin layer of carbon, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and outstanding structure stability. As a result, the Na4Fe2.94Al0.04(PO4)2(P2O7)/C cathode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, leading to high discharge capacity (128.1 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C), outstanding rate performance (98.1 mAh g-1 at 10 C), and long cycle stability (83.7 % capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 10 C). This study demonstrates a low-cost, ultra-stable, and high-rate cathode material prepared by simple mechanical activation for sodium-ion batteries which has application prospects for large-scale production.

Abstract
Olivine FePO4 is widely regarded as an optimal cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its impressive theoretical capacity of 177.7 mAh g-1. Nonetheless, the material's limited application stems from its intrinsic low electronic and ionic conductivities and ion diffusion rate. Previously, most modifications of olivine FePO4 are conducted through electrochemical or ion exchange processes in organic solvents, which severely restricted its potential for large-scale applications. In this research, a novel water-based ion exchange method is proposed for the synthesis of Ni-doped, Mn-doped, and Ni, Mn co-doped FePO4@C, which is non-toxic, cost-effective, and demonstrating promising prospects for various applications. Fe2.7Mn0.2Ni0.1PO4@C (0.2Mn0.1Ni-FP@C) is synthesized by a straightforward ion exchange method in aqueous media. The material exhibits a discharge capacity of 154.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1C rate. After 300 cycles at 1C, the capacity retention rate remains at 70.7 %. Numerous tests and calculations conducted in this study demonstrate that 0.2Mn0.1Ni-FP@C, modified through Mn3+ and Ni3+ co-doping, exhibits superior electrochemical performance due to its enhanced electronic conductivity and ion diffusion rate.

Abstract
Lithium-ion hybrid capacitors (LICs) have become promising electrochemical energy storage systems that overcome the limitations of lithium-ion batteries and electrical double-layer capacitors. The asymmetric combination of these devices enhances the overall electrochemical performance by delivering simultaneous energy and power capabilities. Lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12, LTO), a spinel zero-strain material, has been studied extensively as an anode material for LIC applications because of its high-rate capability, negligible volume change, and enhanced cycling performance. Here, the different synthetic methods and modifications of the intercalation-type LTO to enhance the overall electrochemical performance of LICs are mainly focused. Moreover, the cathodic part (i.e., the activated carbon derived from various sources, including natural products, polymers, and inorganic materials) is also dealt with as it contributes substantially to the overall performance of the LIC. Not only do the anode and cathode, but also the electrolytes have a substantial influence on LIC performance. The electrolytes used in LTO-based LICs as well as in flexible and bendable configurations are also mentioned. Overall, the previous work along with other available reports on LTO-based LICs in a simplified way is analyzed.

Third, several commonly used low-temperature anode materials are briefly introduced. Fourth, recent progress in the engineering of these low-temperature anode materials is summarized in terms of structural design, morphology control, surface & interface modifications, and multiphase materials.

Abstract
Anode materials with excellent properties have become the key to develop sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) that combine the advantages of both batteries and capacitors. Amorphous modulation is an effective strategy to realize high energy/power density in SIHCs. Herein, atomically amorphous Nb-O/N clusters with asymmetric coordination are in situ created in N-doped hollow carbon shells (Nb-O/N@C). The amorphous clusters with asymmetric Nb-O3/N1 configurations have abundant charge density and low diffusion energy barriers, which effectively modulate the charge transport paths and improve the reaction kinetics. The clusters are also enriched with unsaturated vacancy defects and isotropic ion-transport channels, and their atomic disordering exhibits high structural stress buffering, which are strong impetuses for realizing bulk-phase-indifferent ion storage and enhancing the storage properties of the composite. Based on these features, Nb-O/N@C achieves notably improved sodium-ion storage properties (reversible capacity of 240.1 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 after 8000 cycles), and has great potential for SIHCs (230 Wh Kg-1 at 4001.5 W Kg-1). This study sheds new light on developing high-performance electrodes for sodium-ion batteries and SIHCs by designing amorphous clusters and asymmetric coordination.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) exhibit superior power density and cyclability compared to lithium-ion batteries. However, the low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of amorphous carbon anodes (e.g., hard carbon (HC) and soft carbon (SC)) limits the energy density of LICs by underutilizing cathode capacity. Here, a solution-based deep prelithiation strategy for carbon anodes is applied using a contact-ion pair dominant solution, offering high energy density based on a systematic electrode balancing based on the cathode capacity increased beyond the original theoretical limit. Increasing the anode ICE to 150% over 100%, the activated carbon (AC) capacity is doubled by activating Li+ cation storage, which unleashes rocking-chair LIC operation alongside the dual-ion-storage mechanism. The increased AC capacity results in an energy density of 106.6 Wh kg-1 AC+SC , equivalent to 281% of that of LICs without prelithiation. Moreover, this process lowers the cathode-anode mass ratio, reducing the cell thickness by 67% without compromising the cell capacity. This solution-based deep chemical prelithiation promises high-energy LICs based on transition metal-free, earth-abundant active materials to meet the practical demands of power-intensive applications.

Abstract
The development prospects of conventional Li-ion batteries are limited by the paucity of Li resources. Mg-Li hybrid batteries (MLIBs) combine the advantages of Li-ion batteries and magnesium batteries. Li+ can migrate rapidly in the cathode materials, and the Mg anode has the advantage of being dendrite-free. In this study, a type of Li4Ti5O12 composite material doped with Sn4+ and a conductive carbon skeleton (Li4Ti4.9Sn0.1O12/C, Sn0.1-LTO/C) was prepared by a simple one-pot sol-gel method. The doped Sn4+ replaces part of Ti4+ in the crystal lattice, which makes Ti3+ require charge compensation, thus improving the ionic conductivity. The intervention of the conductive carbon skeleton further improves the conductivity of the Sn0.1-LTO/C composite material. The performance of Sn0.1-LTO/C as the cathode of MLIBs is explored. The initial discharge capacity was 159.1 mA h g-1 at 0.5 C, and it was maintained at 105 mA h g-1 even after 500 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to a small amount of Sn doping and the involvement of the conductive carbon skeleton, which indicated that the Sn0.1-LTO/C composite material provides great potential application in MLIBs.

Abstract
In principle, hybrid energy storages can utilize the advantages of capacitor-type cathodes and battery-type anodes, but their cathode and anode materials still cannot realize a high energy density, fast rechargeable capability, and long-cycle stability. Herein, we report a strategy to synthesize cathode and anode materials as a solution to overcome this challenge. Firstly, 3D nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous graphitic carbon (NHPGC) frameworks were synthesized as cathode materials using Co-Zn mixed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). A high capacity is achieved due to the abundant nitrogen and micropores produced by the MOF nanocages and evaporation of Zn. Also, fast ion/electron transport channels were derived through the Co-catalyzed hierarchical porosity control and graphitization. Moreover, tin oxide precursors were introduced in NHPGC to form the SnO2@NHPGC anode. Operando X-ray diffraction revealed that the rescaled subnanoparticles as anodic units facilitated the high capacity during ion insertion-induced rescaling. Besides, the Sn-N bonds endowed the anode with a cycling stability. Furthermore, the NHPGC cathode and SnO2@NHPGC achieved an ultrahigh energy density (up to 244.5 W h kg-1 for Li and 146.1 W h kg-1 for Na), fast rechargeable capability (up to 93C-rate for Li and 147C-rate for Na) as exhibited by photovoltaic recharge within a minute and a long-cycle stability with ∼100% coulombic efficiency over 10 000 cycles.

Abstract
Zinc ion capacitors (ZICs) have shown potential for breaking the energy density ceiling of traditional supercapacitors (SCs) via appropriate device design. Nevertheless, a significant challenge remains in advancing ZIC positive electrode materials with excellent conductivity, high specific capacitance, and reliable cycle stability. A highly attractive option for carbon-based electrode materials is reduced graphene oxide (RGO) due to its vast specific surface area, prominent porosity, and 3D cross-linked frame. However, the tight stacking of RGO sheets driven by van der Waals forces can restrict active sites, decrease specific capacitance, and elevate electrochemical impedance. To overcome these challenges, 3D defective RGO (DRGO) hydrogels were prepared by a metal Co cocatalytic gasification reaction. This method produced mesoporous defects on the surface of RGO hydrogels via a low-temperature hydrothermal self-assembly strategy. The surface of the layer has a wide and uniform distribution, which can offer abundant redox active sites, rich ion transfer channels, and fast reaction kinetics. In this work, 3D DRGO//Zn exhibited a wide operating window (0-1.8 V), high specific capacitance (189.39 F g-1 at 1 A g-1), outstanding energy density (85.23 W h kg-1 at 960.31 W kg-1; 52.36 W h kg-1 at 17454.87 W kg-1), and persistent cycling life (98.86% initial capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles at 10 A g-1). This study emphasizes the device design of ZIC and promising prospects of using 3D DRGO hydrogel as a feasible positive electrode for ZIC.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) is highly valued based on the stable construction among the polyanionic compounds. Nevertheless, the drawback of low intrinsic conductivity has been impeded its further application. In this paper, the internal channels of the crystal structure are extended by the introduction of larger radius Ce3+, which increases the transport rate of Na+. The introduction of Mo6+ replacing the V site leads to a beneficial n-type doping effect and facilitates the transportation of electrons. Besides, CeO2 cladding is introduced to further enhance the electronic conductivity of NVP system. Initially, CeO2 serves as an n-type semiconductor and functions as a conductive additive to significantly enhance the electronic conductivity of the electrode, thereby improving the electrochemical characteristics. Moreover, CeO2 functions as an oxygen buffer, aiding in the maintenance of active metal dispersion during operation and enabling efficient electron transfer between CeO2 and [VO6] octahedra in NVP, thus fostering outstanding electrical connectivity between the oxides. CeO2 cladding can be effectively integrated with the carbon layer to stabilize the NVP system. Comprehensively, the modified Na3V1.79Ce0.07Mo0.07(PO4)3/C@8wt.%CeO2 (CeMo0.07@8wt.%CeO2) composite exhibits excellent rate and cycling properties. It delivers a capacity of 113.4 mAh/g at 1C with a capacity retention rate of 80.3 % after 150 cycles. Even at 10C and 40C, it also submits high capacities of 84.7 mAh/g and 76 mAh/g, respectively. Furthermore, the CHC//CeMo0.07@8wt.%CeO2 asymmetric full cell possesses excellent sodium storage property, indicating its prospective application potentials.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors have faced the limitations of low energy density for decades, owing to the low capacity of electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC)-type positive electrodes. In this work, we reveal the functions of interlayer confined water in iron vanadate (FeV3O8.7·nH2O) for sodium-ion storage in nonaqueous electrolyte. Using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, in situ Raman, and ex situ X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we demonstrate that both nonfaradaic (surficial EDLC) and faradaic (pseudocapacitance-dominated Na+ intercalation) processes are involved in the charge storages. The interlayer confined water is able to accelerate the fast Na+ intercalations and is highly stable (without the removal of water or co-intercalation of [Na-diglyme]+) in the nonaqueous environment. Furthermore, coupling the pseudocapacitive FeV3O8.7·nH2O with EDLC-type activated carbon (FeVO-AC) as the positive electrode brings comprehensive enhancements, displaying the enlarged compaction density of ∼2 times, specific capacity of ∼1.5 times, and volumetric capacity of ∼3 times compared to the AC electrode. Furthermore, the as-assembled hybrid sodium-ion capacitor, consisting of an FeVO-AC positive electrode and a mesocarbon microbeads negative electrode, shows a high energy density of 108 Wh kg-1 at 108 W kg-1 and 15.3 Wh kg-1 at 8.3 kW kg-1. Our results offer an emerging route for improving both specific and volumetric energy densities of electrochemical capacitors.

Abstract
Highlights Hierarchically structured Nb2O5 microflowers consiste of porous and ultrathin nanosheets. Nb2O5 microflowers exhibit enhanced capacity and rate performance boosting Na ion storage. Planar NIMSCs with charge and kinetics matching show superior areal capacitance and lifespan. Abstract Planar Na ion micro-supercapacitors (NIMSCs) that offer both high energy density and power density are deemed to a promising class of miniaturized power sources for wearable and portable microelectronics. Nevertheless, the development of NIMSCs are hugely impeded by the low capacity and sluggish Na ion kinetics in the negative electrode. Herein, we demonstrate a novel carbon-coated Nb2O5 microflower with a hierarchical structure composed of vertically intercrossed and porous nanosheets, boosting Na ion storage performance. The unique structural merits, including uniform carbon coating, ultrathin nanosheets and abundant pores, endow the Nb2O5 microflower with highly reversible Na ion storage capacity of 245 mAh g−1 at 0.25 C and excellent rate capability. Benefiting from high capacity and fast charging of Nb2O5 microflower, the planar NIMSCs consisted of Nb2O5 negative electrode and activated carbon positive electrode deliver high areal energy density of 60.7 μWh cm−2, considerable voltage window of 3.5 V and extraordinary cyclability. Therefore, this work exploits a structural design strategy towards electrode materials for application in NIMSCs, holding great promise for flexible microelectronics.

Abstract
Solid-state zinc-ion capacitors are emerging as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage owing to improved safety, mechanical and thermal stability and easy-to-direct stacking. Hydrogel electrolytes are appealing solid-state electrolytes because of eco-friendliness, high conductivity and intrinsic flexibility. However, the electrolyte/electrode interfacial contact and anti-freezing properties of current hydrogel electrolytes are still challenging for practical applications of zinc-ion capacitors. Here, we report a class of hydrogel electrolytes that couple high interfacial adhesion and anti-freezing performance. The synergy of tough hydrogel matrix and chemical anchorage enables a well-adhered interface between hydrogel electrolyte and electrode. Meanwhile, the cooperative solvation of ZnCl2 and LiCl hybrid salts renders the hydrogel electrolyte high ionic conductivity and mechanical elasticity simultaneously at low temperatures. More significantly, the Zn||carbon nanotubes hybrid capacitor based on this hydrogel electrolyte exhibits low-temperature capacitive performance, delivering high-energy density of 39 Wh kg-1 at -60 °C with capacity retention of 98.7% over 10,000 cycles. With the benefits of the well-adhered electrolyte/electrode interface and the anti-freezing hydrogel electrolyte, the Zn/Li hybrid capacitor is able to accommodate dynamic deformations and function well under 1000 tension cycles even at -60 °C. This work provides a powerful strategy for enabling stable operation of low-temperature zinc-ion capacitors.

Abstract
Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5), as an important dielectric and semiconductor material, has numerous crystal polymorphs, higher chemical stability than water and oxygen, and a higher melt point than most metal oxides. Nb2O5 materials have been extensively studied in electrochemistry, lithium batteries, catalysts, ionic liquid gating, and microelectronics. Nb2O5 polymorphs provide a model system for studying structure-property relationships. For example, the T-Nb2O5 polymorph has two-dimensional layers with very low steric hindrance, allowing for rapid Li-ion migration. With the ever-increasing energy crisis, the excellent electrical properties of Nb2O5 polymorphs have made them a research hotspot for potential applications in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs). The basic properties, crystal structures, synthesis methods, and applications of Nb2O5 polymorphs are reviewed in this article. Future research directions related to this material are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
The practical application of supercapacitors (SCs) has been known to be restricted by low energy density, and zinc ion capacitors (ZICs) with a capacitive cathode and a battery-type anode have emerged as a unique technology that can effectively mitigate the issue. To this end, the design of electrodes with low electrochemical impedance, high specific capacitance, and outstanding reaction stability represents a critical first step. Herein, we report the synthesis of hierarchical Ti3C2TX@PANI heterostructures by uniform deposition of conductive polyaniline (PANI) polymer nanofibers on the exposed surface of the Ti3C2TX nanosheets, which are then assembled into a three-dimensional (3D) cross-linking framework by a graphene oxide (GO)-assisted self-convergence hydrothermal strategy. This resulting 3D Ti3C2TX@PANI-reduced graphene oxide (Ti3C2TX@PANI-RGO) heterostructure hydrogel shows a large surface area (488.75 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1), outstanding electrical conductivity, and fast reaction kinetics, making it a promising electrode material. Separately, defective RGO (DRGO) hydrogels are prepared by a patterning process, and they exhibit a broad and uniform distribution of mesopores, which is conducive to ion transport with an excellent specific capacitance (223.52 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1). A ZIC is subsequently constructed by utilizing Ti3C2TX@PANI-RGO as the anode and DRGO as the cathode, which displays an extensive operating voltage (0-3.0 V), prominent energy density (1060.96 Wh kg-1 at 761.32 W kg-1, 439.87 Wh kg-1 at 9786.86 W kg-1), and durable cycle stability (retaining 67.9% of the original capacitance after 4000 cycles at 6 A g-1). This study underscores the immense prospect of the Ti3C2TX-based heterostructure hydrogel and DRGO as a feasible anode and cathode for ZICs, respectively.

[PMID: 37867670 PMCID: PMC10586283 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Demand for high-performance energy storage devices is growing tremendously. Supercapacitors possess an excellent candidature to fulfill the energy storage requisites such as high energy density when compared to conventional capacitors, high power density, and cycling stability as compared to batteries, though not only for large-scale devices for higher energy/power density applications but also for macro- to microdevices for miniaturized electrical components. With the aid of various routes, many materials have been explored with well-tuned properties with controlled surface architecture through various preparative parameters to find those best suited for supercapacitive electrodes. Growth of a thin film can be accomplished through chemical or physical (vacuum-assisted) routes. Vacuum-assisted (physical) growth yields high purity, precise dimensions with a line-of-sight deposition, along with high adhesion between the film and the substrates, and hence, these techniques are necessary to manufacture many macro- to microscale supercapacitor devices. Still, much effort has not been put forth to explore vacuum-assisted techniques to fabricate supercapacitive electrodes and energy storage applications. The present review explores the first comprehensive report on the growth of widespread materials through vacuum-assisted physical deposition techniques inclusive of thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation, sputtering, and laser beam ablation toward supercapacitive energy storage applications on one platform. The theoretical background of nucleation and growth through physical deposition, optimization of process parameters, and characterization to supercapacitor applications from macro- to microscale devices has been well explored to a provide critical analysis with literature-reviewed materials. The review ends with future challenges to bring out upcoming prospects to further enhance supercapacitive performance, as much work and materials need to be explored through these routes.

Abstract
Benefiting from the merits of low cost, nonflammability, and high operational safety, aqueous rechargeable batteries have emerged as promising candidates for large-scale energy-storage applications. Among various metal-ion/non-metallic charge carriers, the proton (H+ ) as a charge carrier possesses numerous unique properties such as fast proton diffusion dynamics, a low molar mass, and a small hydrated ion radius, which endow aqueous proton batteries (APBs) with a salient rate capability, a long-term life span, and an excellent low-temperature electrochemical performance. In addition, redox-active organic molecules, with the advantages of structural diversity, rich proton-storage sites, and abundant resources, are considered attractive electrode materials for APBs. However, the charge-storage and transport mechanisms of organic electrodes in APBs are still in their infancy. Therefore, finding suitable electrode materials and uncovering the H+ -storage mechanisms are significant for the application of organic materials in APBs. Herein, the latest research progress on organic materials, such as small molecules and polymers for APBs, is reviewed. Furthermore, a comprehensive summary and evaluation of APBs employing organic electrodes as anode and/or cathode is provided, especially regarding their low-temperature and high-power performances, along with systematic discussions for guiding the rational design and the construction of APBs based on organic electrodes.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LIC) combine the energy storage mechanisms of lithium-ion batteries and electric double layer capacitors (EDLC) and are supposed to promise the best of both worlds: high energy and power density combined with a long life. However, the lack of lithium cation sources in the carbon cathode demands the cumbersome step of prelithiation of the graphite anode, mainly by using sacrificial lithium metal, hindering the mass adoption of LICs. Here, in a conceptually new class of devices termed lithium metal capacitors (LMC), we replace the graphite anode with a lithium metal anode stabilized by a complex yet stable solid-electrolyte interface (SEI). Via a specialized formation process, the well-explored synergetic reaction between the LiNO3 additive and controlled amounts of polysulfides in an ether-based electrolyte stabilizes the SEI on the lithium metal electrode. Optimized devices at the coin cell level deliver 55 mAh g-1 at a fast 30C discharge rate and maintain 95% capacity after 8000 cycles. At the pouch-cell level, energy densities of 13 Wh kg-1 are readily achieved, indicating the transferability of the technology to practical scales. The LMC, a new class of capacitive device, eliminates the prelithiation process of the conventional LIC, allowing practical production at scale and offering exciting avenues for exploring versatile cathode chemistries on account of using a lithium metal anode.

Abstract
In response to the current trend of miniaturization of electronic devices and sensors, the complementary coupling of high-efficiency energy conversion and low-loss energy storage technologies has given rise to the development of photocapacitors (PCs), which combine energy conversion and storage in a single device. Photovoltaic systems integrated with supercapacitors offer unique light conversion and storage capabilities, resulting in improved overall efficiency over the past decade. Consequently, researchers have explored a wide range of device combinations, materials, and characterization techniques. This review provides a comprehensive overview of photocapacitors, including their configurations, operating mechanisms, manufacturing techniques, and materials, with a focus on emerging applications in small wireless devices, Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Everything (IoE). Furthermore, we highlight the importance of cutting-edge materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and organic materials for supercapacitors, as well as novel materials in photovoltaics, in advancing PCs for a carbon-free, sustainable society. We also evaluate the potential development, prospects, and application scenarios of this emerging area of research.

Introducing micropores into carbon nanoparticles synthesized via a solution plasma process by thermal treatment and their charge storage properties in supercapacitors. RSC Adv 2023; 13:16136-16144.

Abstract
Carbon materials synthesized via a solution plasma process (SPP) have recently shown great potential for various applications. However, they mainly possess a meso-macroporous structure with a lack of micropores, which limits their applications for supercapacitors. Herein, carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were synthesized from benzene via SPP and then subjected to thermal treatment at different temperatures (400, 600, 800, and 1000 °C) in an argon environment. The CNPs exhibited an amorphous phase and were more graphitized at high treatment temperatures. A small content of tungsten carbide particles was also observed, which were encapsulated in CNPs. An increase in treatment temperature led to an increase in the specific surface area of CNPs from 184 to 260 m2 g-1 through the development of micropores, while their meso-macropore structure remained unchanged. The oxygen content of CNPs decreased from 14.72 to 1.20 atom% as the treatment temperature increased due to the degradation of oxygen functionality. The charge storage properties of CNPs were evaluated for supercapacitor applications by electrochemical measurements using a three-electrode system in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The CNPs treated at low temperatures exhibited an electric double layer and pseudocapacitive behavior due to the presence of quinone groups on the carbon surface. With increasing treatment temperature, the electric double layer behavior became more dominant, while pseudocapacitive behavior was suppressed due to the quinone degradation. Regarding cycling stability, the CNPs treated at high temperatures (with a lack of oxygen functionality) were more stable than those treated at low temperatures. This work highlights a way of introducing micropores into CNPs derived from SPP via thermal treatment, which could be helpful for controlling and adjusting their pore structure for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
The second-generation supercapacitor comprises the hybridized energy storage mechanism of Lithium-ion batteries and electrical double-layer capacitors, i.e, Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs). The electrospun SnO2 nanofibers are synthesized by a simple electrospinning technique and are directly used as anode material for LICs with activated carbon (AC) as a cathode. However, before the assembly, the battery-type electrode SnO2 is electrochemically pre-lithiated (LixSn + Li2O), and AC loading is balanced with respect to its half-cell performance. First, the SnO2 is tested in the half-cell assembly with a limited potential window of 0.005 to 1 V vs. Li to avoid the conversion reaction of Sn0 to SnOx. Also, the limited potential window allows only the reversible alloy/de-alloying process. Finally, the assembled LIC, AC/(LixSn + Li2O), displayed a maximum energy density of 185.88 Wh kg-1 with ultra-long cyclic durability of over 20,000 cycles. Further, the LIC is also exposed to various temperature conditions (-10, 0, 25, & 50 °C) to study the feasibility of using them in different environmental conditions.

Abstract
Carbon materials have been the most common anodes for sodium-ion storage. However, it is well-known that most carbon materials cannot obtain a satisfactory rate performance because of the sluggish kinetics of large-sized sodium-ion intercalation in ordered carbon layers. Here, we propose an integration of co-intercalation and adsorption instead of conventional simplex-intercalation and adsorption to promote the rate capability of sodium-ion storage in carbon materials. The experiment was demonstrated by using a typical carbon material, reduced graphite oxide (RGO400) in an ether-solvent electrolyte. The ordered and disordered carbon layers efficiently store solvated sodium ions and simplex sodium ions, which endows RGO400 with enhanced reversible capacity (403 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1 after 100 cycles) and superior rate performance (166 mA h g-1 at 20 A g-1). Furthermore, a symmetric sodium-ion capacitor was demonstrated by employing RGO400 as both the anode and cathode. It exhibits a high energy density of 48 W h g-1 at a very high power density of 10,896 W kg-1. This work updates the sodium-ion storage mechanism and provides a rational strategy to realize high rate capability for carbon electrode materials.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed Zn moieties are efficient active sites for accelerating the electrode kinetics of carbons for sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs), but the low utilization and symmetric configuration of Zn single-atom greatly hamper the Na ion storage capability. Herein, a molecular design strategy is employed to synthesize high-density Zn single atoms with asymmetric Zn-N3 S coordination embedded in nitrogen/sulfur codoped carbon (Zn-N3 S-NSC). The key to this strategy lies in the Zn power-catalyzed condensation of trithiocyanuric acid molecules to generate S-doped g-C3 N4 , which can in situ coordinate with Zn sources to form Zn-N3 S moieties during pyrolysis. By virtue of the highly exposed Zn-N3 S moieties, Zn-N3 S-NSC presents ultrahigh reactivity, efficient electron transfer, and decreased ion diffusion barriers for SIHCs, rendering an impressive energy density of 215 Wh kg-1 and a maximum power density of 15625 W kg-1 . Moreover, the pouch cell displays a high capacity of 279 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles. This work provides a new avenue for the regulation of the coordination configuration of single metal atoms in carbons toward high-performance electrochemical energy technologies at the molecular level.

Abstract
Exploring stable and durable cathodes for cost-effective reversible aqueous batteries is highly desirable for grid-scale energy storage applications, but significant challenges remain. Herein, we disclosed an ultrastable Cu2+ intercalation chemistry in mass-produced exfoliated NbS2 nanosheets to build ultralong lifespan aqueous batteries with cost advantages. Anisotropic interplanar expansion of NbS2 lattices balanced dynamic Cu2+ incorporation and the highly reversible redox reaction of Nb4+/Nb(4-δ)+ couple were illuminated by operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy, affording an extraordinary capacity of approximately 317 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and a good stability of 92.2% capacity retention after 40000 cycles at 10 A g-1. Impressively, a budget NbS2||Fe hybrid ion cell involving an aqueous electrolyte/Fe-metal anode is established and provides a reliable energy supply of 225.4 Wh kg-1 at 750 W kg-1, providing insights for building advanced aqueous battery systems for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Due to the upstream pressure of lithium resources, low-cost sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have become the most potential candidates for energy storage systems in the new era. However, anode materials of SIBs have always been a major problem in their development. To address this, V2 C/Fe7 S8 @C composites with hierarchical structures prepared via an in situ synthesis method are proposed here. The 2D V2 C-MXene as the growth substrate for Fe7 S8 greatly improves the rate capability of SIBs, and the carbon layer on the surface provides a guarantee for charge-discharge stability. Unexpectedly, the V2 C/Fe7 S8 @C anode achieves satisfactory sodium storage capacity and exceptional rate performance (389.7 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ). The sodium storage mechanism and origin of composites are thoroughly studied via ex situ characterization techniques and first-principles calculations. Furthermore, the constructed sodium-ion capacitor assembled with N-doped porous carbon delivers excellent energy density (135 Wh kg-1 ) and power density (11 kW kg-1 ), showing certain practical value. This work provides an advanced system of sodium storage anode materials and broadens the possibility of MXene-based materials in the energy storage.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are flourishing toward high energy density and high safety, which depend significantly on the performance of the intercalation-type anodes used in LICs. However, commercially available graphite and Li4 Ti5 O12 anodes in LICs suffer from inferior electrochemical performance and safety risks due to limited rate capability, energy density, thermal decomposition, and gassing issues. Here a safer high-energy LIC based on a fast-charging ω-Li3 V2 O5 (ω-LVO) anode with a stable bulk/interface structure is reported. The electrochemical performance, thermal safety, and gassing behavior of the ω-LVO-based LIC device are investigated, followed by the exploration of the stability of the ω-LVO anode. The ω-LVO anode exhibits fast lithium-ion transport kinetics at room/elevated temperatures. Paired with an active carbon (AC) cathode, the AC||ω-LVO LIC with high energy density and long-term endurability is achieved. The accelerating rate calorimetry, in situ gas assessment, and ultrasonic scanning imaging technologies further verify the high safety of the as-fabricated LIC device. Theoretical and experimental results unveil that the high safety originates from the high structure/interface stability of the ω-LVO anode. This work provides important insights into electrochemical/thermochemical behaviors of ω-LVO-based anodes within LICs and offers new opportunities to develop safer high-energy LIC devices.

Abstract
Group IIIA-VA metal sulfides (GMSs) have attracted increasing attention because of their unique Na-storage mechanisms through combined conversion and alloying reactions, thus delivering large theoretical capacities and low working potentials. However, Na+ diffusion within GMSs anodes leads to severe volume change, generally representing a fundamental limitation to rate capability and cycling stability. Here, monodispersed In6 S7 /nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon hollow microspindles (In6 S7 /NSC HMS) are produced by morphology-preserved thermal sulfurization of spindle-like and porous indium-based metal organic frameworks. The resulting In6 S7 /NSC HMS anode exhibits theoretical-value-close specific capacity (546.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), ultrahigh rate capability (267.5 mAh g-1 at 30.0 A g-1 ), high initial coulombic efficiency (≈93.5%), and ≈92.6% capacity retention after 4000 cycles. This kinetically favored In6 S7 /NSC HMS anode fills up the kinetics gap with a capacitive porous carbon cathode, enabling a sodium-ion capacitor to deliver an ultrahigh energy density of 136.3 Wh kg-1 and a maximum power density of 47.5 kW kg-1 . The in situ/ex situ analytical techniques and theoretical calculation both show that the robust and fast Na+ charge storage of In6 S7 /NSC HMS arises from the multi-electron redox mechanism, buffered volume expansion, negligible morphological change, and surface-controlled solid-state Na+ transport.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) attract enormous attention because of the urgent demands for high power and energy density devices. However, the intrinsic imbalance between anodes and cathodes with different charge-storage mechanisms blocks the further improvement in energy and power density. MXenes, novel two-dimensional materials with metallic conductivity, accordion-like structure, and regulable interlayer spacing, are widely employed in electrochemical energy storage devices. Herein, we propose a holey Ti3C2 MXene-derived composite (pTi3C2/C) with enhanced kinetics for LICs. This strategy effectively decreases the surface groups (-F and -O) and generates expanded interplanar spacing. The in-plane pores of Ti3C2Tx lead to increased active sites and accelerated lithium-ion diffusion kinetics. Benefiting from the expanded interplanar spacing and accelerated lithium-ion diffusion, the pTi3C2/C as an anode implements excellent electrochemical property (capacity retention about 80% after 2000 cycles). Furthermore, the LIC fabricated with a pTi3C2/C anode and an activated carbon cathode displays a maximum energy density of 110 Wh kg-1 and a considerable energy density of 71 Wh kg-1 at 4673 W kg-1. This work provides an effective strategy to achieve high antioxidant capability and boosted electrochemical properties, which represents a new exploration of structural design and tuneable surface chemistry for MXene in LICs.

Abstract
Zn-ion capacitors are attracting great attention owing to the abundant and relatively stable Zn anodes but are impeded by the low capacitance of porous carbon cathodes with insufficient energy storage sites. Herein, using ball-milled graphene with different defect densities as the models, we reveal that the self-doping defects of carbon show a capacitive energy storage behavior with robust charge-transfer kinetics, providing a capacitance contribution of ca. 90 F g-1 per unit of defect density (AD/AG value from Raman spectra) in both aqueous and organic electrolytes. Furthermore, a simple NaCl-assisted ball-milling method is developed to prepare novel graphene blocks (BSG) with abundant self-doping defect density, enriched pores, balanced electric conductivity, and high compact density (0.83 g cm-3). The optimized ion and electron transfer paths promote efficient utilization of the self-doping defects in BSG, contributing to improved gravimetric and volumetric capacitance (224 F g-1/186 F cm-3 at 0.5 A g-1) and remarkable rate performance (52.2% capacitance retention at 20 A g-1). The defect engineering strategy may open up a new avenue to improve the capacitive performance of dense carbons for Zn-ion capacitors.

Abstract
Sodium-ion storage technologies are promising candidates for large-scale grid systems due to the abundance and low cost of sodium. However, compared to well-understood lithium-ion storage mechanisms, sodium-ion storage remains relatively unexplored. Herein, we systematically determine the sodium-ion storage properties of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2(A)). During the initial sodiation process, a thin surface layer (~3 to 5 nm) of crystalline TiO2(A) becomes amorphous but still undergoes Ti4+/Ti3+ redox reactions. A model explaining the role of the amorphous layer and the dependence of the specific capacity on the size of TiO2(A) nanoparticles is proposed. Amorphous nanoparticles of ~10 nm seem to be optimum in terms of achieving high specific capacity, on the order of 200 mAh g-1, at high charge/discharge rates. Kinetic studies of TiO2(A) nanoparticles indicate that sodium-ion storage is due to a surface-redox mechanism that is not dependent on nanoparticle size in contrast to the lithiation of TiO2(A) which is a diffusion-limited intercalation process. The surface-redox properties of TiO2(A) result in excellent rate capability, cycling stability and low overpotentials. Moreover, tailoring the surface-redox mechanism enables thick electrodes of TiO2(A) to retain high rate properties, and represents a promising direction for high-power sodium-ion storage.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are promising energy storage devices because they feature the high energy density of lithium-ion batteries and the high power density of supercapacitors. However, the mismatch of electrochemical reaction kinetics between the anode and cathode in LICs makes exploring anode materials with fast ion diffusion and electron transfer channels an urgent task. Herein, the two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2 MXene with controllable terminal groups was introduced into 1D carbon nanofibers to form a 3D conductive network by the electrospinning strategy. In such Ti3C2 MXene and carbon matrix composites (named KTi-400@CNFs), the 2D nanosheet structure endows Ti3C2 MXene with more active sites for Li+ ion storage, and the carbon framework is favorable to the conductivity of the composites. Impressively, Ti-O-C bonds are formed at the interface between Ti3C2 MXene and the carbon framework. Such chemical bonding in the composites builds a bridge for rapid electron transportation and quick ion diffusion in the longitudinal direction from layer to layer. As a result, the optimized KTi-400@CNFs composites maintain a good capacity of 235 mA h g-1 for 500 cycles at a current density of 5 A g-1. The LIC consisting of the KTi-400@CNFs//AC configuration achieves high energy density (114.3 W h kg-1) and high power density (12.8 kW kg-1). This paper provides guidance for designing 2D materials and the KTi-400@CNFs composites with such a unique structure and superior electrochemical performance have great potential in the next-generation energy storage fields. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL Supplementary material is available for this article at 10.1007/s40843-022-2268-9 and is accessible for authorized users.

Abstract
The design and development of advanced energy storage devices with good energy/power densities and remarkable cycle life has long been a research hotspot. Metal-ion hybrid capacitors (MHCs) are considered as emerging and highly prospective candidates deriving from the integrated merits of metal-ion batteries with high energy density and supercapacitors with excellent power output and cycling stability. The realization of high-performance MHCs needs to conquer the inevitable imbalance in reaction kinetics between anode and cathode with different energy storage mechanisms. Featured by large specific surface area, short ion diffusion distance, ameliorated in-plane charge transport kinetics, and tunable surface and/or interlayer structures, 2D nanomaterials provide a promising platform for manufacturing battery-type electrodes with improved rate capability and capacitor-type electrodes with high capacity. In this article, the fundamental science of 2D nanomaterials and MHCs is first presented in detail, and then the performance optimization strategies from electrodes and electrolytes of MHCs are summarized. Next, the most recent progress in the application of 2D nanomaterials in monovalent and multivalent MHCs is dealt with. Furthermore, the energy storage mechanism of 2D electrode materials is deeply explored by advanced characterization techniques. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of 2D nanomaterials-based MHCs are prospected.

Abstract
New structurally flexible 1-methyl- and 1,2-dimethyl-imidazolium phosphate ionic liquids (ILs) bearing oligoethers have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. These novel ILs revealed high thermal stabilities, low glass transitions, high conductivity and wide electrochemical stability windows up to 6 V. Both the cations and anions of 1-methyl-imidazolium ILs diffuse faster than the ions of 1,2-dimethyl-imidazolium ILs, as determined by pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR). The 1-methyl-imidazolium phosphate ILs showed relatively higher ionic conductivities and ion diffusivity as compared with the 1,2-dimethyl-imidazolium phosphate ILs. As expected, the diffusivity of all the ions increases with an increase in the temperature. The 1-methyl-imidazolium phosphate ILs formed hydrogen bonds with the phosphate anions, the strength of which is decreased with increasing temperature, as confirmed by variable temperature 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. One of the representative IL, [EmDMIm][DEEP], presented promising elevated temperature performance as an electrolyte in a supercapacitor composed of multiwall carbon nanotubes and activated charcoal (MWCNT/AC) composite electrodes.

Abstract
Alkaline metal-ion batteries (AIBs) such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (NIBs), and potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are potential energy storage systems. Currently, although LIBs are widely used in consumer electronics and electric vehicles, the electrochemical performance, safety, and cost of current AIBs are still unable to meet the needs for many future applications, such as large-scale energy storage, due to the low theoretical capacity of cathode/anode materials, flammability of electrolytes and limited Li resources. It is thus imperative to develop new materials to improve the properties of AIBs. Several promising cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes have been developed and among the new battery materials, phosphorus-based (P-based) materials have shown great promise. For example, P and metal phosphide anodes have high theoretical capacity, resource abundance, and environmental friendliness boding well for future high-energy-density AIBs. Besides, phosphate cathode materials have the advantages of low cost, high safety, high voltage, and robust stability, and P-based materials like LiPF6 and lithium phosphorus oxynitride are widely used electrolytes. In this paper, the latest development of P-based materials in AIBs, challenges, effective solutions, and new directions are discussed.

Abstract
The ever-growing market of portable electronics and electric vehicles has spurred extensive research for advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy density. High-capacity alloy- and conversion-type anodes are explored to replace the conventional graphite anode. However, one common issue plaguing these anodes is the large initial capacity loss caused by the solid electrolyte interface formation and other irreversible parasitic reactions, which decrease the total energy density and prevent further market integration. Prelithiation becomes indispensable to compensate for the initial capacity loss, enhance the full cell cycling performance, and bridge the gap between laboratory studies and the practical requirements of advanced LIBs. This review summarizes the various emerging anode and cathode prelithiation techniques, the key barriers, and the corresponding strategies for manufacturing-compatible and scalable prelithiation. Furthermore, prelithiation as the primary Li+ donor enables the safe assembly of new-configured "beyond LIBs" (e.g., Li-ion/S and Li-ion/O2 batteries) and high power-density Li-ion capacitors (LICs). The related progress is also summarized. Finally, perspectives are suggested on the future trend of prelithiation techniques to propel the commercialization of advanced LIBs/LICs.

Abstract
Carbon materials, as promising anode candidates for K+ storage due to their low cost, abundant sources, and high physicochemical stability, however, encounter limited specific capacity and unfavorable cycling stability that seriously hinder their practical applications. Herein, a feasible strategy to tailor and stabilize the nitrogen species in unique P/N co-doped disk-like carbon through the Sn incorporation (P/NSn -CD) is presented, which can largely enhance the specific capacity and cycling capability for K+ storage. Specifically, it delivers a high specific capacity of 439.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and ultra-stable cycling capability with a capacity retention of 93.5% at 5000 mA g-1 over 5000 cycles for K+ storage. The underlying mechanism for the superior K+ storage performance is investigated by systematical experimental data combined with theoretical simulation results, which can be derived from the increased edge-nitrogen species, improved content and stability of P/N heteroatoms, and enhanced ionic/electronic kinetics. After coupling P/NSn -CD anode with activated carbon cathode, the KIHCs can deliver a high energy density of 171.7 Wh kg-1 at 106.8 W kg-1 , a superior power density (14027.0 W kg-1 with 31.2 Wh kg-1 retained), and ultra-stable lifespan (89.7% retention after 30 K cycles with cycled at 2 A g-1 ).

Abstract
Stretchable sodium-ion capacitors (SSICs) are promising energy storage devices for wearable electronic devices, and the development bottleneck is the realization of stretchable battery-type electrodes with desirable electrochemical properties during dynamic deformation. Herein, we find that electrostatic modification of acidified carbon nanotubes with polyamines can introduce active sites and modulate the surface pH microenvironment, thereby developing a route to realize the in situ coaxial nanometerization of sodium titanate (nCNT@NTO). The nCNT@NTO anode material has a fast Na+ transport and the high capacitive contribution, which can deliver a high specific capacity (206.5 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and high rate performance (maintain 51% capacity at 10 A g-1), and the ideal cycle stability (∼93% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1). In addition, acrylate-rubber with high stickiness and stretchability are served as the elastic matrix both of the stretchable electrodes and quasi-solid-state electrolytes, which endows strong adhesion between electrodes and electrolytes. Thus, the accordingly assembled SSIC delivers high energy density of 8.8 mW h cm-3 (at a power density of 0.024 W cm-3), and excellent deformation stability (89% capacitance retention after 500 stretching cycles under 100% strain).
