Abstract
Phase transitions of Mn-based cathode materials associated with the charge and discharge process play a crucial role on the rate capability and cycle life of zinc ion batteries. Herein, a microscopic electrochemical failure mechanism of Zn-MnO2 batteries during the phase transitions from δ-MnO2 to λ-ZnMn2O4 is presented via systematic first-principle investigation. The initial insertion of Zn2+ intensifies the rearrangement of Mn. This is completed by the electrostatic repulsion and co-migration between guest and host ions, leading to the formation of λ-ZnMn2O4. The Mn relocation barrier for the λ-ZnMn2O4 formation path with 1.09 eV is significantly lower than the δ-MnO2 re-formation path with 2.14 eV, indicating the irreversibility of the layered-to-spinel transition. Together with the phase transition, the rearrangement of Mn elevates the Zn2+ migration barrier from 0.31 to 2.28 eV, resulting in poor rate performance. With the increase of charge-discharge cycles, irreversible and inactive λ-ZnMn2O4 products accumulate on the electrode, causing continuous capacity decay of the Zn-MnO2 battery.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 319:120974.

Abstract
Using surface functionalization and related applications to 2D materials as innovative solutions to environmental pollution has gained considerable attention among researchers. Fluorinated graphene has derivative-based synergistic components with high thermal and chemical stability because of its structure and bonding. Fluorine-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rFGO-TiO2) demonstrated enhanced hydrophilicity and wettability, highly efficient photocatalytic disinfection, and an algicidal effect. This study presents the hydrothermal synthesis of rFGO-TiO2 to realize antibacterial properties with high stability, which was conducted against the gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. To optimize antibacterial performance, the effects of multiple synthetic conditions were investigated. The antibacterial performance was optimized at an rFGO content of 1 wt%, hydrothermal temperature of 200 °C, and hydrothermal time of 1 h. The rFGO-TiO2 composite demonstrated an antibacterial efficiency of 5.76 log under ultraviolet A irradiation for 10 min and around 2 log under visible light. In the absence of light, rFGO-TiO2 took 6 h to reach an antibacterial efficiency of 6 log. Increasing the rFGO content and hydrothermal temperature beyond the optimal conditions reduced the antibacterial efficiency because of the excess rFGO and disruption of rFGO-TiO2 binding. Measurements with electron spin resonance spectroscopy confirmed that hydroxyl radicals and superoxide ions caused stress and damaged the membrane of a cell, which led to cell death.

Abstract
It is urgently desired yet challenging to synthesize porous graphitic carbon (PGC) in a bottom-up manner while circumventing the need for high-temperature pyrolysis. Here we present an effective and scalable strategy to synthesize PGC through acid-mediated aldol triple condensation followed by low-temperature graphitization. The deliberate structural design enables its graphitization in situ in solution and at low pyrolysis temperature. The resulting material features ultramicroporosity characterized by a sharp pore size distribution. In addition, the pristine homogeneous composition of the reaction mixture allows for solution-processability of the material for further characterization and applications. Thin films of this PGC exhibit several orders of magnitude higher electrical conductivity compared to analogous control materials that are carbonized at the same temperatures. The integration of low-temperature graphitization and solution-processability not only allows for an energy-efficient method for the production and fabrication of PGC, but also paves the way for its wider employment in applications such as electrocatalysis, sensing, and energy storage.

Abstract
Wafer-scale nanoribbon field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors fabricated by straightforward top-down processes are demonstrated as sensing platforms with high sensitivity to a broad range of biological targets. Nanoribbons with 350 nm widths (700 nm pitch) were patterned by chemical lift-off lithography using high-throughput, low-cost commercial digital versatile disks (DVDs) as masters. Lift-off lithography was also used to pattern ribbons with 2 μm or 20 μm widths (4 or 40 μm pitches, respectively) using masters fabricated by photolithography. For all widths, highly aligned, quasi-one-dimensional (1D) ribbon arrays were produced over centimeter length scales by sputtering to deposit 20 nm thin-film In2O3 as the semiconductor. Compared to 20 μm wide microribbons, FET sensors with 350 nm wide nanoribbons showed higher sensitivity to pH over a broad range (pH 5 to 10). Nanoribbon FETs functionalized with a serotonin-specific aptamer demonstrated larger responses to equimolar serotonin in high ionic strength buffer than those of microribbon FETs. Field-effect transistors with 350 nm wide nanoribbons functionalized with single-stranded DNA showed greater sensitivity to detecting complementary DNA hybridization vs 20 μm microribbon FETs. In all, we illustrate facile fabrication and use of large-area, uniform In2O3 nanoribbon FETs for ion, small-molecule, and oligonucleotide detection where higher surface-to-volume ratios translate to better detection sensitivities.

Abstract
Recently, binary ZnCo2 O4 has drawn enormous attention for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as attractive anode owing to its large theoretical capacity and good environmental benignity. However, the modest electrical conductivity and serious volumetric effect/particle agglomeration over cycling hinder its extensive applications. To address the concerns, herein, a rapid laser-irradiation methodology is firstly devised toward efficient synthesis of oxygen-vacancy abundant nano-ZnCo2 O4 /porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrids as anodes for LIBs. The synergistic contributions from nano-dimensional ZnCo2 O4 with rich oxygen vacancies and flexible rGO guarantee abundant active sites, fast electron/ion transport, and robust structural stability, and inhibit the agglomeration of nanoscale ZnCo2 O4 , favoring for superb electrochemical lithium-storage performance. More encouragingly, the optimal L-ZCO@rGO-30 anode exhibits a large reversible capacity of ≈1053 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 , excellent cycling stability (≈746 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 250 cycles), and preeminent rate capability (≈686 mAh g-1 at 3.2 A g-1 ). Further kinetic analysis corroborates that the capacitive-controlled process dominates the involved electrochemical reactions of hybrid anodes. More significantly, this rational design holds the promise of being extended for smart fabrication of other oxygen-vacancy abundant metal oxide/porous rGO hybrids toward advanced LIBs and beyond.

Abstract
Although nanostructured materials have recently enabled a dramatic improvement of the current energy-storage units in portable electronics with enhanced functionality, it is still challenging to provide a cost-efficient solution to attain the ultrahigh energy and power densities of supercapacitors (SCs) since nearly arbitrary electrodes are limited to the thinner porous structure with de facto rather low mass loading (∼1 mg cm-2) because of the huge limitations of pronounced impaired ion transport in subnanometer pores in thicker compact electrodes. In this contribution, we report the fabrication of a macro/mesoporous hybrid hierarchical nanocomposite SiC/holey-graphene/holey-MnO2 (SiC/HG/h-MnO2) with tailored porosity by knitting together the quasi-aligned single-crystalline doped 3C-SiC nanowire array and in situ surface-reduced holey graphene framework into a three-dimensional quasi-ordered structure, which enables the mass growth of ultrathin h-MnO2 nanosheets at approximately practical levels of mass loading. The produced synergistically favorable interconnected porous architecture allows for the highly efficient electron transfer and rapid ion transport up to interior surfaces of the network. Remarkably, the all-solid-state flexible asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) made with SiC/HG/h-MnO2 and SiC/graphitic carbon (GC) nanoarrays are mechanically robust and show a high areal capacity (0.32 mWh cm-2) and a high rate capability (280 mW cm-2) at ultrahigh mass loading (6.5 mg cm-2), much higher than most of previous superior SCs in aqueous or gelled electrolytes and thus offer an entirely new prototype of textile-based ASCs, which represents a critical step toward practical applications for various portable electronics.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable zinc-based batteries have sparked a lot of enthusiasm in the energy storage field recently due to their inherent safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Although remarkable progress has been made in the exploration of performance so far, there are still many challenges such as low working voltage and dissolution of electrode materials at the material and system level. Herein, the central tenet is to establish a systematic summary for the construction and mechanism of different aqueous zinc-based batteries. Details for three major zinc-based battery systems, including alkaline rechargeable Zn-based batteries (ARZBs), aqueous Zn ion batteries (AZIBs), and dual-ion hybrid Zn batteries (DHZBs) are given. First, the electrode materials and energy storage mechanism of the three types of zinc-based batteries are discussed to provide universal guidance for these batteries. Then, the electrode behavior of zinc anodes and strategies to deal with problems such as dendrite and passivation are recommended. Finally, some challenge-oriented solutions are provided to facilitate the next development of zinc-based batteries. Combining the characteristics of zinc-based batteries with good use of concepts and ideas from other disciplines will surely pave the way for its commercialization.

Abstract
Chemical synthesis for graphenes with uniform pore structures opens a new way for the precise modulation toward the performances of graphene-based materials. A family of porous graphenes with continuous and ordered pore distributions was designed by tracking the synthetic paths and studied by using density functional theory calculations. Three compounds with different pore sizes and orientations have remarkably different energy band structures. Introduction of pores opens the band gap of graphene. While the valence band maximum (VBM) is subject to small changes, the conduction band minimum (CBM) shifts with pore size and orientation. Furthermore, distinct in-plane anisotropy was noted in electron delocalization for the VBM and CBM bands. Enlargement of pore size alters the electron delocalization between the longitudinal and transverse directions. Confined by the ribbons and bridges that are separated by pores, electric dipoles cost more energy to respond to the applied fields, and electron excitations become more difficult in less conjugated systems. Our calculations reveal that for the graphenes with uniform pore structures, their band structures and optoelectronic properties are expected to be modulated by careful control over pore size and orientation through chemical synthesis.

Abstract
In situ monitoring the evolution of electrode materials in micro/nano scale is crucial to understand the intrinsic mechanism of rechargeable batteries. Here a novel on-chip Langmuir-Blodgett nanowire (LBNW) microdevice is designed based on aligned and assembled MnO2 nanowire quasimonolayer films for directly probing Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) in real-time. With an interdigital device configuration, a splendid Ohmic contact between MnO2 LBNWs and pyrolytic carbon current collector is demonstrated here, enabling a small polarization voltage. In addition, this work reveals, for the first time, that the conductance of MnO2 LBNWs monotonically increases/decreases when the ZIBs are charged/discharged. Multistep phase transition is mainly responsible for the mechanism of the ZIBs, as evidenced by combined high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and in situ Raman spectroscopy. This work provides a new and adaptable platform for microchip-based in situ simultaneous electrochemical and physical detection of batteries, which would promote the fundamental and practical research of nanowire electrode materials in energy storage applications.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received great attention because of the abundance source and low cost. To date, some Na+ storage materials have achieved great performance, but the larger Na+ radius and more complex Na+ storage mechanism compared with Li+ still limit the energy density and power density. This review systematically summarizes emerging synthetic technologies of vanadium-based materials from simple nanowires to complicated modified/optimized structures. In addition, vanadium-based nanowire materials are reviewed at both the cathode and anode side, and advantages and drawbacks are proposed to explain the challenges facing application of novel materials. Furthermore, a vanadium-based single-nanowire device is reported to reveal the Na+ storage mechanism, which contributes to the understanding of the reaction in SIBs. Finally, this review summarizes the current development challenges of SIBs and looks forward to the future development prospects of vanadium-based nanowires, providing a new direction for further applications of SIBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries are regarded as one of the most practical electrochemical energy storage devices that are able to convert and store the electrical energy generated from renewable resources, and they function as the key power sources for electric vehicles and portable electronics. The ultimate goals for electrochemical energy storage devices are high power and energy density, long lifetime, and high safety. To achieve the above goals, researchers have tried to apply various morphologies of nanomaterials as the electrodes to enhance the electrochemical performance. Among them, one-dimensional (1D) materials show unique superiorities, such as cross-linked structures for external stress buffering and large draw ratios for internal stress dispersion. However, a homogeneous single-component electrode material can hardly have the characteristics of high electronic/ionic conductivity and high stability in the electrochemical environment simultaneously. Therefore, designing well-defined functional 1D hetero-nanostructures that combine the advantages and overcome the limitations of different electrochemically active materials is of great significance. This Account summarizes fabrication strategies for 1D hetero-nanostructures, including nucleation and growth, deposition, and melt-casting and electrospinning. Besides, the chemical principles for each strategy are discussed. The nucleation and growth strategy is suitable for growing and constructing 1D hetero-nanostructures of partial transition metal compounds, and the experimental conditions for this strategy are relatively accessible. Deposition is a reliable strategy to synthesize 1D hetero-nanostructures by decorating functional layers on 1D substrate materials, on the condition that the preobtained substrate materials must be stable in the following deposition process. The melt-casting strategy, in which 1D hetero-nanostructures are synthesizes via a melting and molding process, is also widely used. Additionally, the main functions of 1D hetero-nanostructures are summarized into four aspects and reviewed in detail. Appropriate surface modification can effectively restrain the structure deterioration and the regeneration of the solid-electrolyte interphase layer caused by the volume change. A porous or semihollow external conducting material coating provides advanced electron/ion bicontinuous transmission. Suitable atomic heterogeneity in the crystal structure is beneficial to the expansion and stabilization of the ion diffusion channels. Multiphase-assisted structural design is also an accessible way for the sulfur electrode material restriction. Moreover, some outlooks about the further industrial production, more effective and cheaper fabrication strategies, and new heterostructures with smaller-scale composition are given in the last part. By providing an overview of fabrication methods and performance-enhancing mechanisms of 1D hetero-nanostructured electrode materials, we hope to pave a new way to facile and efficient construction of 1D hetero-nanostructures with practical utility.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries are highly desirable for grid-scale applications due to their low cost and high safety; however, the poor cycling stability hinders their widespread application. Herein, a highly durable zinc-ion battery system with a Na2V6O16·1.63H2O nanowire cathode and an aqueous Zn(CF3SO3)2 electrolyte has been developed. The Na2V6O16·1.63H2O nanowires deliver a high specific capacity of 352 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and exhibit a capacity retention of 90% over 6000 cycles at 5000 mA g-1, which represents the best cycling performance compared with all previous reports. In contrast, the NaV3O8 nanowires maintain only 17% of the initial capacity after 4000 cycles at 5000 mA g-1. A single-nanowire-based zinc-ion battery is assembled, which reveals the intrinsic Zn2+ storage mechanism at nanoscale. The remarkable electrochemical performance especially the long-term cycling stability makes Na2V6O16·1.63H2O a promising cathode for a low-cost and safe aqueous zinc-ion battery.

Abstract
The development of manganese dioxide as the cathode for aqueous Zn-ion battery (ZIB) is limited by the rapid capacity fading and material dissolution. Here, a highly reversible aqueous ZIB using graphene scroll-coated α-MnO2 as the cathode is proposed. The graphene scroll is uniformly coated on the MnO2 nanowire with an average width of 5 nm, which increases the electrical conductivity of the MnO2 nanowire and relieves the dissolution of the cathode material during cycling. An energy density of 406.6 Wh kg-1 (382.2 mA h g-1 ) at 0.3 A g-1 can be reached, which is the highest specific energy value among all the cathode materials for aqueous Zn-ion battery so far, and good long-term cycling stability with 94% capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 3 A g-1 are achieved. Meanwhile, a two-step intercalation mechanism that Zn ions first insert into the layers and then the tunnels of MnO2 framework is proved by in situ X-ray diffraction, galvanostatic intermittent titration technique, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations. The graphene scroll-coated metallic oxide strategy can also bring intensive interests for other energy storage systems.

Abstract
Amorphous hydrated manganese dioxide (MnO2) was prepared as an electrode material for supercapacitors by liquid co-precipitation in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) respectively. The obtained samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and electrochemical methods. Physical characterizations confirmed that the addition of surfactants played an important role in the preparation of MnO2. The specific surface areas of MnO2 with the addition of PEG, SDBS and PVP were 169.92 m2/g, 137.40 m2/g and 196.64 m2/g, respectively, and the corresponding capacitances were 207.9 F/g, 187.5 F/g and 238.7 F/g. Compared with the sample without surfactants, the specific surface area and capacitance of the sample with the addition of PVP were improved by 92.2% and 53.1%, respectively. Moreover, the electrode showed good cycle stability at the current density of 120 mA/g, and 91.1% of its specific capacitance still remained after 500 cycles. It was concluded that this performance improvement was attributed to the electrostatic stabilization of the multivariate alkyl residue and cyano group (-NCO) as anchoring group, as well as the steric hindrance effect from lateral polarity groups of pentabasic ring in PVP structure.

Abstract
K-ion battery (KIB) is a new-type energy storage device that possesses potential advantages of low-cost and abundant resource of K precursor materials. However, the main challenge lies on the lack of stable materials to accommodate the intercalation of large-size K-ions. Here we designed and constructed a novel earth abundant Fe/Mn-based layered oxide interconnected nanowires as a cathode in KIBs for the first time, which exhibits both high capacity and good cycling stability. On the basis of advanced in situ X-ray diffraction analysis and electrochemical characterization, we confirm that interconnected K0.7Fe0.5Mn0.5O2 nanowires can provide stable framework structure, fast K-ion diffusion channels, and three-dimensional electron transport network during the depotassiation/potassiation processes. As a result, a considerable initial discharge capacity of 178 mAh g-1 is achieved when measured for KIBs. Besides, K-ion full batteries based on interconnected K0.7Fe0.5Mn0.5O2 nanowires/soft carbon are assembled, manifesting over 250 cycles with a capacity retention of ∼76%. This work may open up the investigation of high-performance K-ion intercalated earth abundant layered cathodes and will push the development of energy storage systems.

Abstract
A sandwich-like 2D-mesoporous-carbon/MoS2 -nanosheet heterostructure is fabricated for the first time. The hybrid structure is composed of three well-stacked monolayers: an ordered-mesoporous-carbon monolayer, a MoS2 monolayer, and a further ordered-mesoporous-carbon monolayer. This unique heterostructure exhibits excellent electrochemical performance as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Ultrathin Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) nanosheets with ordered microstructures were prepared via a polyether-assisted hydrothermal process. Pluronic P123, a polyether, can impede the growth of Li2TiO3 in the precursor and also act as a structure-directing agent to facilitate the (Li1.81H0.19)Ti2O5·2H2O precursor to form the LTO nanosheets with the ordered microstructure. Moreover, the addition of P123 can suppress the stacking of LTO nanosheets during calcining of the precursor, and the thickness of the nanosheets can be controlled to be about 4 nm. The microstructure of the as-prepared ultrathin and ordered nanosheets is helpful for Li(+) or Na(+) diffusion and charge transfer through the particles. Therefore, the ultrathin P123-assisted LTO (P-LTO) nanosheets show a rate capability much higher than that of the LTO sample without P123 in a Li battery with over 130 mAh g(-1) of capacity remaining at the 64C rate. For intercalation of larger size Na(+) ions, the P-LTO still exhibits a capacity of 115 mAh g(-1) at a current rate of 10 C and a capacity retention of 96% after 400 cycles.
