Abstract
The huge volume expansion/contraction of silicon (Si) during the lithium (Li) insertion/extraction process, which can lead to cracking and pulverization, poses a substantial impediment to its practical implementation in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The development of low-strain Si-based composite materials is imperative to address the challenges associated with Si anodes. In this study, we have engineered a TiSi2 interface on the surface of Si particles via a high-temperature calcination process, followed by the introduction of an outermost carbon (C) shell, leading to the construction of a low-strain and highly stable Si@TiSi2@NC composite. The robust TiSi2 interface not only enhances electrical and ionic transport but also, more critically, significantly mitigates particle cracking by restraining the stress/strain induced by volumetric variations, thus alleviating pulverization during the lithiation/delithiation process. As a result, the as-fabricated Si@TiSi2@NC electrode exhibits a high initial reversible capacity (2172.7 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1), superior rate performance (1198.4 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1), and excellent long-term cycling stability (847.0 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 2.0 A g-1). Upon pairing with LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 (NCM622), the assembled Si@TiSi2@NC||NCM622 pouch-type full cell exhibits exceptional cycling stability, retaining 90.1% of its capacity after 160 cycles at 0.5 C.

Promoting threshold voltage of P2-Na 0.67Ni 0.33Mn 0.67O 2 with Cu 2+ cation doping toward high-stability cathode for sodium-ion battery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 659:422-431. [PMID: 38183808 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.12.170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
P2-type Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 has attracted considerable attraction as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its high operating voltage and theoretical specific capacity. However, when the charging voltage is higher than 4.2 V, the Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 cathode undergoes a detrimental irreversible phase transition of P2-O2, leading to a drastic decrease in specific capacity. To address this challenge, we implemented a Cu-doping strategy (Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2) in this work to stabilize the structure of the transition metal layer. The stabilization strategy involved reinforcing the transition metal-oxygen (TMO) bonds, particularly the MnO bond and inhibiting interlayer slip during deep desodiation. As a result, the irreversible phase transition voltage is delayed, with the threshold voltage increasing from 4.2 to 4.4 V. Ex-situ X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2 cathode maintains the P2 phase within the voltage window of 2.5-4.3 V, whereas the P2-Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 cathode transforms entirely into O2-type Na0.67Ni0.33Mn0.67O2 when the voltage exceeds 4.3 V. Furthermore, absolute P2-O2 phase transition of the Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2 cathode occurred at 4.6 V, indicating that Cu2+ doping enhances the stability of the layer structure and increases the threshold voltage. The resulting Na0.67Ni0.23Cu0.1Mn0.67O2 cathode exhibited superior electrochemical properties, demonstrating an initial reversible specific capacity of 89.1 mAh/g at a rate of 2C (360 mA g-1) and retaining more than 78 % of its capacity after 500 cycles.

Abstract
Since the initial MXenes were discovered in 2011, several MXene compositions constructed using combinations of various transition metals have been developed. MXenes are ideal candidates for different applications in energy conversion and storage, because of their unique and interesting characteristics, which included good electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, and simplicity of large-scale synthesis. Herein, we study the current developments in two-dimensional (2D) MXene nanosheets for energy storage and conversion technologies. First, we discuss the introduction to energy storage and conversion devices. Later, we emphasized on 2D MXenes and some specific properties of MXenes. Subsequently, research advances in MXene-based electrode materials for energy storage such as supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries is summarized. We provide the relevant energy storage processes, common challenges, and potential approaches to an acceptable solution for 2D MXene-based energy storage. In addition, recent advances for MXenes used in energy conversion devices like solar cells, fuel cells and catalysis is also summarized. Finally, the future prospective of growing MXene-based energy conversion and storage are highlighted.

Abstract
Improving cycling stability while maintaining a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of the antimony (Sb) anode is always a trade-off for the design of electrodes of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we prepare a carbon-free Sb8Bi1 anode with an ICE of 87.1% at 0.1 A g-1 by a one-step electrochemical reduction of Sb2O3 and Bi2O3 in alkaline solutions. The improved ICE of the Sb8Bi1 anode is due to the alloying of bismuth (Bi) that prevents irreversible interfacial reactions during the sodiation process. Unlike carbon buffers, the use of Bi will reduce the number of side reactions between the carbon buffer and sodium. Moreover, Bi2O3 can promote the reduction of Sb2O3 and reduce the particle size of Sb from ∼20 μm to below 300 nm. The electrolytic products can be modulated by controlling the cell voltages and electrolysis time. The electrolytic Sb8Bi1 anode delivered a capacity of 625 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles with an ICE of 87.1% at 0.1 A g-1 and even 625 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 over 100 cycles. Hence, alloying Bi into Sb is an effective way to make a long-lasting Sb anode while maintaining a high Coulombic efficiency.

Abstract
Ultra-fine nanoparticles (uf-NPs) embedded in hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) have been proven to possess intriguing properties for various energy storage applications, but effective synthetic control is still lacking. Herein, we present an efficient coordination anchor activation (CAA) strategy for the scalable synthesis and elaborate control of a series of uf-NPs embedded in HPC (Sb@HPC and FeSb2@HPC as examples), which is achieved by taking advantage of the coordination capability of industrial ionic exchange resins. The in situ coordination-anchored uf-NPs and the tailored hierarchical porous HPC enables superior rate capability (533.1 mA h g-1 at 3.30 A g-1 for Sb@HPC, 276.0 mA h g-1 at 5.37 A g-1 for FeSb2@HPC), enhanced cycling stability, and high reversible areal capacity (5.02 mA h cm-2). Our study demonstrates a potentially scalable uf-NP synthesis strategy with industrial raw materials that can be applied to a large variety of energy materials.

Abstract
Due to the scarce of lithium resources, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted extensive attention due to their similar electrochemical properties to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and more abundant potassium resources. Even though there is considerable progress in SbBi alloy anode for LIBs and PIBs, most studies are focused on the morphology/structure tuning, while the inherent physical features of alloy composition's effect on the electrochemical performance are rarely investigated. Herein, combined the nanonization, carbon compounding, and alloying with composition regulation, the anode of nitrogen-doped carbon-coated Sbx Bi1-x (Sbx Bi1-x @NC) with a series of tuned chemical compositions is designed as an ideal model. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation and experimental investigation results show that the K+ diffusion barrier is lower and the path is easier to carry out when element Bi dominates the potassiation reaction, which is also the reason for better circulation. The optimized Sb0.25 Bi0.75 @NC shows an excellent cycling performance with a reversible specific capacity of 301.9 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 . Meanwhile, the charge-discharge mechanism is intuitively invetigated and analyzed by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in detail. Such an alloy-type anode synthesis approach and in situ observation method provide an adjustable strategy for the designing and investigating of PIB anodes.

Abstract
Due to the energy requirements for various human activities, and the need for a substantial change in the energy matrix, it is important to research and design new materials that allow the availability of appropriate technologies. In this sense, together with proposals that advocate a reduction in the conversion, storage, and feeding of clean energies, such as fuel cells and electrochemical capacitors energy consumption, there is an approach that is based on the development of better applications for and batteries. An alternative to commonly used inorganic materials is conducting polymers (CP). Strategies based on the formation of composite materials and nanostructures allow outstanding performances in electrochemical energy storage devices such as those mentioned. Particularly, the nanostructuring of CP stands out because, in the last two decades, there has been an important evolution in the design of various types of nanostructures, with a strong focus on their synergistic combination with other types of materials. This bibliographic compilation reviews state of the art in this area, with a special focus on how nanostructured CP would contribute to the search for new materials for the development of energy storage devices, based mainly on the morphology they present and on their versatility to be combined with other materials, which allows notable improvements in aspects such as reduction in ionic diffusion trajectories and electronic transport, optimization of spaces for ion penetration, a greater number of electrochemically active sites and better stability in charge/discharge cycles.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) has been pursued as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, it suffers from severe volume expansion during the sodiation-desodiation process. Encapsulating Sb into a carbon matrix can effectively buffer the volume change of Sb. However, the sluggish Na+ diffusion kinetics in traditional carbon shells is still a bottleneck for achieving high-rate performance in Sb/C composite materials. Here we design and synthesize a yolk-shell Sb@Void@graphdiyne (GDY) nanobox (Sb@Void@GDY NB) anode for high-rate and long cycle life SIBs. The intrinsic in-plane cavities in GDY shells offer three-dimensional Na+ transporting channels, enabling fast Na+ diffusion through the GDY shells. Electrochemical kinetics analyses show that the Sb@Void@GDY NBs exhibit faster Na+ transport kinetics than traditional Sb@C NBs. In situ transmission electron microscopy analysis reveals that the hollow structure and the void space between Sb and GDY successfully accommodate the volume change of Sb during cycling, and the plastic GDY shell maintains the structural integrity of NBs. Benefiting from the above structural merits, the Sb@Void@GDY NBs exhibit excellent rate capability and extraordinary cycling stability.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous sodium ion batteries (ASIBs) are rising as an important alternative to lithium ion batteries, owing to their safety and low cost. Metal anodes show a high theoretical capacity and nonselective hydrated ion insertion for ASIBs, yet their large volume expansion and sluggish reaction kinetics resulted in poor electrochemical stability. Herein, we demonstrate an electrode cyclability enhancement mechanism by inlaying bismuth (Bi) nanoparticles on graphene nanosheets through chemical bond, which is achieved by a unique laser induced compounding method. This anchored metal-graphene heterostructure can effectively mitigate volume variation, and accelerate the kinetic capability as the active Bi can be exposed to the electrolyte. Our method can achieve a reversible capacity of 122 mAh g-1 at a large current density of 4 A g-1 for over 9500 cycles. This finding offers a desirable structural design of other metal anodes for aqueous energy storage systems.

Abstract
Development of advanced anode material is highly desired in the energy storage field, not only for the current dominant lithium ion battery (LIB), but also for the sodium ion battery (SIB) with high potential in large-scale and low-cost stationary energy storage systems. Herein, we present a sea cucumber-like hybrid (Sb/VOx-CNFs) which integrates Sb and amorphous VOx composite structure into carbon fibers through electrospinning and sequential annealing treatment. With the specific structural and composition advantages brought synergistically by the Sb/VOx composite structure and the carbon fiber skeleton, the as-prepared Sb/VOx-CNFs delivers a high rate capacity and long-cycle life for both Na+ (∼337 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1) and Li+ (∼554 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 0.5 A g-1) when applied as anode materials in the assembled SIB and LIB coin cells due to the improved charge transfer, enlarged active sites and enhanced structural stabilities. The practical applicability of Sb/VOx-CNFs is also demonstrated by the assembly and tests of Sb/VOx-CNFs//Na3V2(PO4)3 full cell where the commercial Na3V2(PO4)3 is employed as the cathode material. Importantly, the presented strategy with favorable synergistic effect could provide expansion opportunities for the design of composite structured nanomaterials in the energy storage fields.

Abstract
The ever-growing demand in modern power systems calls for the innovation in electrochemical energy storage devices so as to achieve both supercapacitor-like high power density and battery-like high energy density. Rational design of the micro/nanostructures of energy storage materials offers a pathway to finely tailor their electrochemical properties thereby enabling significant improvements in device performances and enormous strategies have been developed for synthesizing hierarchically structured active materials. Among all strategies, the direct conversion of precursor templates into target micro/nanostructures through physical and/or chemical processes is facile, controllable, and scalable. Yet the mechanistic understanding of the self-templating method is lacking and the synthetic versatility for constructing complex architectures is inadequately demonstrated. This review starts with the introduction of five main self-templating synthetic mechanisms and the corresponding constructed hierarchical micro/nanostructures. Subsequently, the structural merits provided by the well-defined architectures for energy storage are elaborately discussed. At last, a summary of current challenges and future development of the self-templating method for synthesizing high-performance electrode materials is also presented.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) demonstrates ascendant reactive activation with lithium ions thanks to its distinctive puckered layer structure. Compared with graphite, Sb can reach a considerable theoretical specific capacity of 660 mAh g-1 by constituting Li3Sb safer reaction potential. Hereupon, with a self-supported organic carbon as a three-dimensional polymer network structure, Sb/carbon (3DPNS-Sb/C) composites were produced through a hydrothermal reaction channel followed by a heat disposal operation. The unique structure shows uniformitarian Sb nanoparticles wrapped in a self-supported organic carbon, alleviating the volume extension of innermost Sb alloying, and conducive to the integrality of the construction. When used as anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), 3DPNS-Sb/C exhibits a high invertible specific capacity of 511.5 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 after 100 cycles and a remarkable rate property of 289.5 mAh g-1 at a current density of 10 A g-1. As anodes, LIBs demonstrate exceptional electrochemical performance.

Abstract
As a new two-dimensional material, black arsenic phosphorus (B-AsP) has emerged as a promising electrode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its large theoretical capacity and ability to absorb large amounts of Li atoms. However, the poor electronic conductivity and large volume expansion during the lithiation/delithiation process have largely impeded the development of B-AsP electrodes. In this study, graphene oxide (GO)/B-AsP/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with remarkable lithium-storage property were fabricated via CVD and ultrasound-assisted method. The electrochemical behavior of the GO/B-AsP/CNTs was investigated as an anode in lithium-ion batteries. From the results, as a new-type anode for LIBs, GO/B-AsP/CNTs composite demonstrated a stable capacity of 1286 and 339 mA h g−1 at the current density of 0.1 and 1 A g−1, respectively. The capacity of GO/B-AsP/CNTs was 693 mA h g−1 after 50 cycles, resulting in capacity retention of almost 86%. In addition, the stable P-C and As-C bonds were formed between B-AsP, GO, and CNTs. Thus, volume expansion of B-AsP was alleviated and the capacity was increased due to the confining effect of GO and CNTs.

Abstract
Bi-doped carbon dots (Bi-CDs) with rich polar groups and good compatibility were employed as co-deposition electrolyte additives to homogenize Li+ flux for dendrite-free Li deposition. High coulombic efficiency (99.0%) and long-term stability (800 h) with reduced overpotential (∼15 mV) were achieved after introducing Bi-CDs in conventional electrolyte for high-performance Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Secondary batteries have been widespread in the daily life causing an ever-growing demand for long-cycle lifespan and high-energy alkali-ion batteries. As an essential constituent part, electrode materials with superior electrochemical properties play a vital role in the battery systems. Here, an outstanding electrode of yolk-shell ZnS@C nanorods is developed, introducing considerable void space via a self-sacrificial template method. Such carbon encapsulated nanorods moderate integral electronic conductivity, thus ensuring rapid alkali-ions/electrons transporting. Furthermore, the porous structure of these nanorods endows enough void space to mitigate volume stress caused by the insertion/extraction of alkali-ions. Due to the unique structure, these yolk-shell ZnS@C nanorods achieve superior rate performance and cycling performance (740 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 540 cycles) for lithium-ion batteries. As a potassium-ion batteries anode, they achieve an ultra-long lifespan delivering 211.1 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 5700 cycles. The kinetic analysis reveals that these ZnS@C nanorods with considerable pseudocapacitive contribution benefit the fast lithiation/delithiation. Detailed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate that such yolk-shell ZnS@C anode is a typical reversible conversion reaction mechanism accomplished by alloying processes. This rational design strategy opens a window for the development of superior energy storage materials.

Abstract
Inspired by the fermentation of multiple small bread embryos to form large bread embryos, in this study, the expansion of tin foil inlaid with sodium rings in the process of repeated sodium inlaid and removal was utilized to maximum extent to realize the formation of sodium-tin alloy anode and the improvement of sodium storage characteristics. The special design of Sn foil inlaid with Na ring realized the in-situ electrochemical formation of fluffy porous sodium-tin alloy, effectively alleviated the volume expansion and shrinkage of non-electrochemical active Sn metal, and inhibited the generation of sodium dendrites. The abundance of sodium ions provided by the Na metal ring compensated for the active sodium components consumed during the repeated formation of SEI. When sodium-tin alloy in situ derived by Sn foil inlaid with Na ring was used as negative electrodes matched with SCDC and Na0.91MnO2 hexagonal tablets (NMO HTs) positive electrodes, the as-assembled sodium-ion energy storage devices present high specific capacity and excellent cycle stability.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) layered antimony (Sb) materials are of importance due to their unique physicochemical properties, and they can be easily electrochemically exfoliated from bulk Sb in Na2SO4 electrolyte solution. However, the exfoliation yield is quite low and the exfoliated products are easily oxidized to Sb2O3, which prohibits their practical engineering applications. Herein, an antimonene/carbon composite is successfully fabricated with a high exfoliation yield through electrochemical exfoliation of bulk antimony chunk in a mixed electrolyte solution consisting of Na2SO4 and ethylene glycol. When the as-fabricated antimonene/carbon composite is added into PAO6 oil, the lubrication system exhibits a selective lubrication performance when sliding against GCr15 and YG8 ball, and the antiwear enhancement can be further improved by sliding against a YG8 ball. Besides, the antimonene/carbon composite can provide reliability and enough ion corridors during the charge/discharge processes. When tested as an anodic material for sodium-ion batteries, it exhibits a large capacity of 485.0 mA h g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 after 150 cycles and a remarkable rate capability (334.5 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1).

Abstract
Alloying-type anode materials are regarded as promising alternatives beyond intercalation-type carbonaceous materials for sodium storage owing to the high specific capacities. The rapid capacity decay arising from the huge volume change during Na+-ion insertion/extraction, however, impedes the practical application. Herein, we report an ultrafine antimony embedded in a porous carbon nanocomposite (Sb@PC) synthesized via facile in situ substitution of the Cu nanoparticles in a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived octahedron carbon framework for sodium storage. The Sb@PC composite displays an appropriate redox potential (0.5-0.8 V vs Na/Na+) and excellent specific capacities of 634.6, 474.5, and 451.9 mAh g-1 at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 A g-1 after 200, 500, and 250 cycles, respectively. Such superior sodium storage performance is primarily ascribed to the MOF-derived three-dimensional porous carbon framework and ultrafine Sb nanoparticles, which not only provides a penetrating network for rapid transfer of charge carriers but also alleviates the agglomeration and volume expansion of Sb during cycling. Ex situ X-ray diffraction and in situ Raman analysis clearly reveal a five-stage reaction mechanism during sodiation and desodiation and demonstrate the excellent reversibility of Sb@PC for sodium storage. Furthermore, post-mortem analysis reveals that the robust structural integrity of Sb@PC can withstand continuous Na+-ion insertion/extraction. This work may provide insight into the effective design of high-capacity alloying-type anode materials for advanced secondary batteries.

Abstract
Nanoengineering of metal anode materials shows great potential for energy storage with high capacity. Zero-dimensional nanoparticles are conducive to acquire remarkable electrochemical properties in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of their enlarged surface active sites. However, it is still difficult to fulfill the requirements of practical applications in batteries owing to the deficiency of efficient and scalable preparation approaches of high-performance metal electrode materials. Herein, an electrochemical cathodic corrosion method is proposed for the tunable preparation of nanostructured antimony (Sb) by the introduction of a surfactant, which can efficiently avoid the agglomeration of Sb atom clusters generated from the Zintl compound and further stacking into bulk during the electrochemical process. Subsequently, graphene as the support and conductive matrix is uniformly interspersed by generating Sb nanoparticles (Sb/Gr). Moreover, the reversible crystalline-phase evolution of Sb ⇋ NaSb ⇋Na3Sb for Sb/Gr was studied by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD). Benefiting from the interconnection of the conductive network, Sb/Gr anodes deliver a high capacity of 635.34 mAh g-1, a retained capacity of 507.2 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.1 C (1 C = 660 mAh g-1), and excellent rate performance with the capacities of 473.41 and 405.09 mAh g-1 at 2 and 5 C, respectively. The superior cycle stability with a capacity of 346.26 mAh g-1 is achieved after 500 cycles at 2 C. This electrochemical approach offers a new route toward developing metal anodes with designed nanostructures for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
For the past few years, a new generation of energy storage systems with large theoretical specific capacity has been urgently needed because of the rapid development of society. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for novel battery systems, since their resurgence at the end of the 20th century Li-S batteries have attracted ever more attention, attributed to their notably high theoretical energy density of 2600 W h kg-1 , which is almost five times larger than that of commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). One of the determining factors in Li-S batteries is how to design/prepare the sulfur cathode. For the sulfur host, the major technical challenge is avoiding the shuttling effect that is caused by soluble polysulfides during the reaction. In past decades, though the sulfur cathode has developed greatly, there are still some enormous challenges to be conquered, such as low utilization of S, rapid decay of capacity, and poor cycle life. This article spotlights the recent progress and foremost findings in improving the performance of Li-S batteries by employing multifunctional metal phosphides as host materials. The current state of development of the sulfur electrode of Li-S batteries is summarized by emphasizing the relationship between the essential properties of metal phosphide-based hybrid nanomaterials, the chemical reaction with lithium polysulfides and the latter's influence on electrochemical performance. Finally, trends in the development and practical application of Li-S batteries are also pointed out.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) is considered a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity and moderate working potential. However, the non-negligible volume variation leads to the rapid decay of capacity, which hinders the practical application of Sb anode materials. Here, an economical and scalable route with high yield is proposed to obtain Sb ultrafine nanocrystals embedded in a porous carbon skeleton. Notably, the synergetic effect of the heterogeneous structure is maximized by inducing the interfacial coupling SbOC and creating buffering space for the volume effect of Sb. The high-entropy phase interface creates the doping site breaking the periodicity of atoms and alters the electronic structure, also bridging the slip of intergranular defects. Thus, the electronic conductivity and phase interface structural stability are reinforced. The mechanism of accelerating electron migration at the heterogeneous phase interface is visualized through the density functional theory method, and the mass/charge-transfer kinetics is analyzed via the calculation of surface-induced capacitive contribution.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been dedicated to the development of high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices. The development of lithium- and sodium-ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs) with high energy densities is urgently needed to meet the growing demands for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large-scale smart grids. Anode materials with high theoretical capacities that are based on alloying storage mechanisms are at the forefront of research geared towards high-energy-density LIBs or SIBs. However, they often suffer from severe pulverization and rapid capacity decay due to their huge volume change upon cycling. So far, a wide variety of advanced materials and electrode structures are developed to improve the long-term cyclability of alloying-type materials. This review provides fundamentals of anti-pulverization and cutting-edge concepts that aim to achieve high-performance alloying anodes for LIBs/SIBs from the viewpoint of architectural engineering. The recent progress on the effective strategies of nanostructuring, incorporation of carbon, intermetallics design, and binder engineering is systematically summarized. After that, the relationship between architectural design and electrochemical performance as well as the related charge-storage mechanisms is discussed. Finally, challenges and perspectives of alloying-type anode materials for further development in LIB/SIB applications are proposed.

Abstract
Antimony (Sb) has been regarded as one of the most promising anode materials for both lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and attracted much attention in recent years. Alleviating the volumetric effect of Sb during charge and discharge processes is the key point to promote Sb-based anodes to practical applications. Carbon dioxide (CO2) activation is applied to improve the rate performance of the Sb/C nanohybrid anodes caused by the limited diffusion of Li/Na ions in excessive carbon components. Based on the reaction between CO2 and carbon, CO2 activation can not only reduce the excess carbon content of the Sb/C nanohybrid but also create abundant mesopores inside the carbon matrix, leading to enhanced rate performance. Additionally, CO2 activation is also a fast and facile method, which is perfectly suitable for the fabrication system we proposed. As a result, after CO2 activation, the average capacity of the Sb/C nanohybrid LIB anode is increased by about 18 times (from 9 mA h g-1 to 160 mA h g-1) at a current density of 3300 mA g-1. Moreover, the application of the CO2-activated Sb/C nanohybrid as a SIB anode is also demonstrated, showing good electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Solar energy has long been regarded as a promising alternative and sustainable energy source. In this regard, photocatalysts emerge as a versatile paradigm that can practically transform solar energy into chemical energy. At present, unsatisfactory conversion efficiency is a major obstacle to the widespread deployment of photocatalysis technology. Many structural engineering strategies have been proposed to address the issue of insufficient activity for semiconductor photocatalysts. Among them, creation of yolk-shell nanostructures which possess many beneficial features, such as large surface area, efficient light harvesting, homogeneous catalytic environment and enhanced molecular diffusion kinetics, has attracted particular attention. This review summarizes the developments that have been made for the preparation and photocatalytic applications of yolk-shell nanostructures. Additional focus is placed on the realization of interfacial charge dynamics and the possibility of achieving spatial separation of charge carriers for this unique nanoarchitecture as charge transfer is the most critical factor determining the overall photocatalytic efficiency. A future perspective that can facilitate the advancement of using yolk-shell nanostructures in sophisticated photocatalytic systems is also presented.

Abstract
Vanadium-based oxides with relatively high theoretical capacity have been regarded as promising electrode materials for boosting energy conversion and storage. However, their poor electrical conductivity usually leads to unsatisfied performance and poor cycling stability. Herein, uniform V2O3/N-doped carbon hollow nanospheres (V2O3/NC HSs) with mesoporous structures were successfully synthesized through a melamine-assisted simple hydrothermal reaction and carbonization treatment. We demonstrated that the introduction of melamine played an essential role in the construction of V2O3/NC HSs. Benefitting from the special mesoporous structure and large specific surface area, the as-obtained sample exhibited enhanced conductivity and structural stability. As a proof of concept, well-defined V2O3/NC HSs exhibited excellent cycling stability and rate performance for sodium-ion batteries, and achieved a discharge capacity of 263.8 mA h g-1 at a current density of 1.0 A g-1 after 1000 cycles, one of the best performances of V-based compounds. The enhanced performance could be attributed to the synergistic effect of the hollow structure and surface carbon coating. The present work describes the design of the morphology and structure of vanadium-based oxides for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Germanium (Ge)-based materials are considered to be one of the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Nevertheless, the practical electrochemical performance is severely hampered by poor cyclability due to volumetric expansion of Ge upon cycling. Herein, double-carbon confined cobalt germanium hydroxide (CGH@C/rGO) composites has been facilely synthesized with the supportion of l-ascorbic acid and graphene oxide (GO) as anode materials for sodium-ion storage. As a result, the CGH@C/rGO anode delivers a high cyclic stability with a reversible capacity of 416 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and an excellent rate capability of 206 mA h g-1 at 2000 mA g-1 compared with CGH, CGH@C and CGH/rGO composites. Besides, the reversible capacity of 266 mA h g-1 still remained even after 500 cycles at current density of 1 A g-1. Such outstanding electrochemical performance could be accredited to a strong interaction between CGH, carbon, and graphene, which increases the electronic conductivity, relieves the volume expansion aroused by sodiation/desodiation, shortens the pathway of electron/ion transportation that further improving the reaction kinetics and endowing the material with remarkable cycling capability. Obviously, this in situ hydrothermal synthesis of double carbon coating strategy can be extended to designing other candidates of anode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Great efforts have been made to design high-performing Si/C composite anodes for Li-ion batteries to improve their energy density and cycling life. However, challenges remain in achieving fast electrical conductivity while accommodating significant electrode volumetric changes. Here, we report a unique Si/C-based anode architecture, a Si-SiOx-CNx composite, which is simultaneously constructed via the pyrolysis of a polyaminosiloxane precursor. The obtained structure features high-purity Si nanocrystals embedded in an amorphous silica matrix and then embraced by N-doped carbon layers. Notably, in this structure, all three components derived from the polyaminosiloxane precursor are linked by chemical bonding, forming a compact Si-SiOx-CNx triple heterostructure. Because of the improvement in the volumetric efficiency for accommodating Si active materials and electrical properties, this anode design enables promising electrochemical performance, including excellent cycle performance (830 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1) and outstanding rate performance (400 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1). Moreover, this composite anode demonstrates great potential for high-energy Li-ion batteries, where a Si-SiOx-CNx//LiNi0.9Co0.1O2 full-cell shows a high capacity of 180 mAh g-1 as well as stable cycle performance (150 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.19 A g-1).

Abstract
Alloying anodes exhibit very high capacity when used in potassium-ion batteries, but their severe capacity fading hinders their practical applications. The failure mechanism has traditionally been attributed to the large volumetric change and/or their fragile solid electrolyte interphase. Herein, it is reported that an antimony (Sb) alloying anode, even in bulk form, can be stabilized readily by electrolyte engineering. The Sb anode delivers an extremely high capacity of 628 and 305 mAh g-1 at current densities of 100 and 3000 mA g-1 , respectively, and remains stable for more than 200 cycles. Interestingly, there is no need to do nanostructural engineering and/or carbon modification to achieve this excellent performance. It is shown that the change in K+ solvation structure, which is tuned by electrolyte composition (i.e., anion, solvent, and concentration), is the main reason for achieving this excellent performance. Moreover, an interfacial model based on the K+ -solvent-anion complex behavior is presented. The electronegativity of the K+ -solvent-anion complex, which can be tuned by changing the solvent type and anion species, is used to predict and control electrode stability. The results shed new light on the failure mechanism of alloying anodes, and provide a new guideline for electrolyte design that stabilizes metal-ion batteries using alloying anodes.

Abstract
Integrating carbon-coating and nanostructuring has been considered as the most promising strategy to accommodate the dramatic volume expansion represented by high-capacity antimony (Sb) upon sodiation. Suitable coating source and synthetic strategy that are both economical and strong are yet to be explored. In this regard, by using renewable bio-oil as carbon source and self-wrapping precursor, robust Sb@C composite anode with Sb nanoparticles homogeneously impregnated into the cross-linked 2D ultrathin carbon nanosheets is developed via a facile NaCl template-assisted self-assembly and followed carbothermal reduction method. Such judiciously crafted interconnected macroporous framework can mitigate of mechanical stress and alleviate the volume change of inner Sb, guaranteeing high-performance sodium-ion battery anode. At a current density of 0.1 A g-1, ultrahigh reversible capacity of 520 mAh g-1 can be achieved. Notably, a stable capacity of 391 mAh g-1 is even retained after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1. Such a facile and cost-effective synthetic method is promising for high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the most successful commercial energy storage devices, are now widespread in our daily life. However, the lack of appropriate electrode materials with long lifespan and superior rate capability is the urgent bottleneck for the development of high-performance LIBs. Herein, a hierarchical Bi@C bulk is developed via a scalable pyrolysis method. Due to the ultrafine size of Bi nanoparticles and in situ generated porous carbon framework, this Bi@C anode evidently facilitates the diffusion of Li+/electron, availably inhibits the agglomeration of active nano-Bi, and effectively mitigates the volume fluctuation. This hierarchical Bi@C bulk exhibits stable cycling performance for both LIBs (256 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 over 1400 cycles) and potassium-ion batteries (271 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 for 200 cycles). More importantly, when coupled with a commercial LiCoO2 cathode, the assembled LiCoO2//Bi@C cells provide an output voltage of 2.9 V and retain a capacity of 202 mAh g-1 at 0.15 A g-1. Moreover, kinetic analysis and in situ X-ray diffraction characterization reveal that the Bi@C anode displays a dominated pseudocapacitance behavior and a typical alloying storage mechanism during the cycling process.

Abstract
Next-generation high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy and power density, long cycle life and uncompromising safety standards require new electrode materials beyond conventional intercalation compounds. However, these materials face a tradeoff between the high capacity and stable cycling because more Li stored in the materials also brings instability to the electrode. Stress-resilient electrode materials are the solution to balance this issue, where the decoupling of strong chemomechanical effects on battery cycling is a prerequisite. This review covers the (de)lithiation behaviors of the alloy and conversion-type anodes and their stress mitigation strategies. We highlight the reaction and degradation mechanisms down to the atomic scale revealed by in situ methods. We also discuss the implications of these mechanistic studies and comment on the effectiveness of the electrode structural and chemical designs that could potentially enable the commercialization of the next generation LIBs based on high-capacity anodes.
