MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:1037. [PMID: 38473509 DOI: 10.3390/ma17051037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
It is highly attractive to develop a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform based on a non-noble-metal nano array architecture. In this paper, a PEC hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) biosensor based on Ni/WS2/WC heterostructures was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal synthesis method and melamine carbonization process. The morphology, structural and composition and light absorption properties of the Ni/WS2/WC catalyst were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The average size of the Ni/WS2/WC nanosheets was about 200 nm. Additionally, the electrochemical properties toward H2O2 were studied using an electrochemical workstation. Benefiting from the Ni and C atoms, the optimized Ni/WS2/WC catalyst showed superior H2O2 sensing performance and a large photocurrent response. It was found that the detection sensitivity of the Ni/WS2/WC catalyst was 25.7 μA/cm2/mM, and the detection limit was 0.3 mmol/L in the linear range of 1-10 mM. Simultaneously, the synthesized Ni/WS2/WC electrode displayed excellent electrocatalytic properties in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), with a relatively small overpotential of 126 mV at 10 mA/cm2 in 0.5 M H2SO4. This novel Ni/WS2/WC electrode may provide new insights into preparing other efficient hybrid photoelectrodes for PEC applications.

Cobalt Oxide 2D Nanosheets Formed at a Polarized Liquid|Liquid Interface toward High-Performance Li-Ion and Na-Ion Battery Anodes. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:58320-58332. [PMID: 38052006 PMCID: PMC10739576 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c11795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
Cobalt oxide (Co3O4)-based nanostructures have the potential as low-cost materials for lithium-ion (Li-ion) and sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery anodes with a theoretical capacity of 890 mAh/g. Here, we demonstrate a novel method for the production of Co3O4 nanoplatelets. This involves the growth of flower-like cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanostructures at a polarized liquid|liquid interface, followed by conversion to flower-like Co3O4 via calcination. Finally, sonication is used to break up the flower-like Co3O4 nanostructures into two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatelets with lateral sizes of 20-100 nm. Nanoplatelets of Co3O4 can be easily mixed with carbon nanotubes to create nanocomposite anodes, which can be used for Li-ion and Na-ion battery anodes without any additional binder or conductive additive. The resultant electrodes display impressive low-rate capacities (at 125 mA/g) of 1108 and 1083 mAh/g, for Li-ion and Na-ion anodes, respectively, and stable cycling ability over >200 cycles. Detailed quantitative rate analysis clearly shows that Li-ion-storing anodes charge roughly five times faster than Na-ion-storing anodes.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted tremendous attentions in recent years due to the abundance and wide distribution of Na resource on the earth. However, SIBs still face the critical issues of low energy density and unsatisfactory cyclic stability at present. The enhancement of electrochemical performance of SIBs depends on comprehensive and precise understanding of the underlying sodium storage mechanism. Although extensive transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations have been performed to reveal the sodium storage property and mechanism of SIBs, a dedicated review on the in situ TEM investigations of SIBs has not been reported. In this review, recent progress in the in situ TEM investigations on the morphological, structural, and chemical evolutions of cathode materials, anode materials, and solid-electrolyte interface during the sodium storage of SIBs is comprehensively summarized. The detailed relationship between structure/composition of electrode materials and electrochemical performance of SIBs has been clarified. This review aims to provide insights into the effective selection and rational design of advanced electrode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Cobalt-based electrodes receive emerging attention for their high theoretical capacity and rich valence variation ability, but state-of-the-art cobalt-based electrodes present performance far below the theoretical value. Herein, the in-depth reaction mechanisms in the alkaline electrolyte are challenged and proven to be prone to the surface-redox pseudocapacitor behavior due to the low adsorption energy to OH. Using the atomic-level structure engineering strategy after substitution metal searching, the adsorption energy is effectively enhanced, and the peak of CoOOH can be observed from in situ characterization for the first time, leading to the successful transition of charge storage behavior from "supercapacitor" to "battery". When used in a Zn-Co battery as a proof of concept, it shows comprehensive electrochemical performance with a flat discharge voltage plateau of ≈1.7 V, an optimal energy density of 506 Wh kg-1 , and a capacity retention ratio of 85.1% after 2000 cycles, shining among the reported batteries. As a practical demonstration, this battery also shows excellent self-discharge performance with the capacity retention of 90% after a 10 h delay. This work subtly tunes the intrinsic electrochemical properties of the cobalt-based material through atomic-level structure engineering, opening a new opportunity for the advance of energy storage systems.

Abstract
The group "beyond Li-ion" batteries (Na/Mg-ion batteries) have the advantages of abundant reserves and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the sluggish kinetics resulting from large ion radius (Na+) and polarity (Mg2+) seriously limit the battery performance. Herein, we prepared Nb-doped anatase TiO2 with Ti vacancies (Nb-TiO2) through a simple solvothermal and subsequent calcination process. The Nb doping widens the channels for metal ion diffusion, and the cationic vacancies can act as ion storage sites and improve the electrode conductivity. Thus, Nb-TiO2 exhibits improved performance for rechargeable Na/Mg-ion batteries.

Abstract
Nanoscale optimization of late transition-metal oxides for fixing the reversible lithiation/delithiation mechanism with an in-depth mechanistic understanding of nanocrystal (NC) conversion chemistry is important for furthering next-generation Li-ion battery (LIB) technologies. Herein, 1 nm-thin Ni3CoOx (1 nm-NCO) nanosheets synthesized through isomorphic transformation of NiCo layered double hydroxides within a two-dimensional (2D)-SiO2 envelope are chosen. The interconversion of metal/metal-oxide NCs under redox-switching thermal treatment, while retaining reversibility, inspired the accomplishment of identical consequences under the harsh operational conditions of LIB redox cycles by application of the thin-NCO-defined 2D nanospace. During charge/discharge cycles, 1 nm-NCO covered with an in situ formed solid-electrolyte-interphase layer enables fully reversible interconversion between the reactive NC redox pairs, as evidenced by detailed morphological and electrochemical analyses, thus providing high-rate capability with a specific capacity of 61.2% at 5.0 C relative to 0.2 C, outstanding cycle stability delivering a reversible capacity of 1169 mAh g-1, and 913 mAh g-1 with high average Coulombic efficiency (>99.2%) at 3.0 and 5.0 C for 1000 cycles, respectively, which has not been achieved with other transition-metal oxides. Such a nanospace-confinement effect on sustainability of reactive NCs to follow-up a highly reversible conversion reaction at fast charging in LIBs is operative within a slit-like ultrathin 2D nanogap from 1 nm-NCO only, as a relatively thicker 7 nm-NCO anode, with accompanying larger space available, has evidenced poor reversibility of NCs and inadequate cyclic stability under potential high-power density LIB application.

Abstract
Two-dimensional van der Waals (2D vdW) materials have attracted much attention because of their unique electronic and optical properties. Since the successful isolation of graphene in 2004, many interesting 2D materials have emerged, including elemental olefins (silicene, germanene, etc.), transition metal chalcogenides, transition metal carbides (nitrides), hexagonal boron, etc. On the other hand, 2D binary oxide materials are an important group in the 2D family owing to their high structural diversity, low cost, high stability, and strong adjustability. This review systematically summarizes the research progress on 2D binary oxide materials. We discuss their composition and structure in terms of vdW and non-vdW categories in detail, followed by a discussion of their synthesis methods. In particular, we focus on strategies to tailor the properties of 2D oxides and their emerging applications in different fields. Finally, the challenges and future developments of 2D binary oxides are provided.

Abstract
Nanomaterials (NMs) with unique structures and compositions can give rise to exotic physicochemical properties and applications. Despite the advancement in solution-based methods, scalable access to a wide range of crystal phases and intricate compositions is still challenging. Solid-state reaction (SSR) syntheses have high potential owing to their flexibility toward multielemental phases under feasibly high temperatures and solvent-free conditions as well as their scalability and simplicity. Controlling the nanoscale features through SSRs demands a strategic nanospace-confinement approach due to the risk of heat-induced reshaping and sintering. Here, we describe advanced SSR strategies for NM synthesis, focusing on mechanistic insights, novel nanoscale phenomena, and underlying principles using a series of examples under different categories. After introducing the history of classical SSRs, key theories, and definitions central to the topic, we categorize various modern SSR strategies based on the surrounding solid-state media used for nanostructure growth, conversion, and migration under nanospace or dimensional confinement. This comprehensive review will advance the quest for new materials design, synthesis, and applications.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) oxides have unique electrical, optical, magnetic, and catalytic properties, which are promising for a wide range of applications in different fields. However, it is difficult to fabricate most oxides as 2D materials unless they have a layered structure. Here, we present a facile strategy for the synthesis of ultrathin oxide nanosheets using a self-formed sacrificial template of carbon layers by taking advantage of the Maillard reaction and violent redox reaction between glucose and ammonium nitrate. To date, 36 large-area ultrathin oxides (with thickness ranging from ~1.5 to ~4 nm) have been fabricated using this method, including rare-earth oxides, transition metal oxides, III-main group oxides, II-main group oxides, complex perovskite oxides, and high-entropy oxides. In particular, the as-obtained perovskite oxides exhibit great electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction in an alkaline solution. This facile, universal, and scalable strategy provides opportunities to study the properties and applications of atomically thin oxide nanomaterials.

Abstract
Tunable band gaps make two-dimensional (2D) SnO a promising candidate for a wide variety of applications in optoelectronic devices. In this work, we calculated the structural, electronic, and optical properties of monolayer and mutilayer SnO up to seven layers based on density functional theory. We found that the band gaps of SnO can vary from 0.61 eV to 4.05 eV as the layer number of SnO decreases from seven to one, which is mainly because of the interlayer coupling effect. The interlayer coupling ensures improved carrier transport properties between neighbouring layers, which can benefit the performance of 2D SnO in photovoltaic applications. In particular, a suitable band gap of 1.20 eV for solar cell applications is obtained in trilayer SnO, and the predicted theoretical efficiency of solar cells with trilayer SnO as the active material achieves a high value exceeding 16%, which is relatively high for 2D materials.

Avvaru VS, Vincent M, Fernandez IJ, Hinder SJ, Etacheri V. Unusual pseudocapacitive lithium-ion storage on defective Co 3O 4nanosheets. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2022; 33:225403. [PMID: 35158338 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/ac54de] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Secondary lithium-ion batteries are restricted in large-scale applications including power grids and long driving electric vehicles owing to the low specific capacity of conventional intercalation anodes possessing sluggish Li-ion diffusion kinetics. Herein, we demonstrate an unusual pseudocapacitive lithium-ion storage on defective Co3O4nanosheet anodes for high-performance rechargeable batteries. Cobalt-oxide nanosheets presented here composed of various defects including vacancies, dislocations and grain boundaries. Unique 2D holey microstructure enabled efficient charge transport as well as provided room for volume expansions associated with lithiation-delithiation process. These defective anodes exhibited outstanding pseudocapacitance (up to 87%), reversible capacities (1490 mAh g-1@ 25 mA g-1), rate capability (592 mAh g-1@ 30 A g-1), stable cycling (85% after 500 cycles @ 1 A g-1) and columbic efficiency (∼100%). Exceptional Li-ion storage phenomena in defective Co3O4nanosheets is accredited to the pseudocapacitive nature of conversion reaction resulting from ultrafast Li-ion diffusion through various crystal defects. The demonstrated approach of defect-induced pseudocapacitance can also be protracted for various low-cost and/or eco-friendly transition metal-oxides for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
As a promising alternative to the market-leading lithium-ion batteries, low-cost sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are attractive for applications such as large-scale electrical energy storage systems. The energy density, cycling life, and rate performance of SIBs are fundamentally dependent on dynamic physiochemical reactions, structural change, and morphological evolution. Therefore, it is essential to holistically understand SIBs reaction processes, degradation mechanisms, and thermal/mechanical behaviors in complex working environments. The recent developments of advanced in situ and operando characterization enable the establishment of the structure-processing-property-performance relationship in SIBs under operating conditions. This Review summarizes significant recent progress in SIBs exploiting in situ and operando techniques based on X-ray and electron analyses at different time and length scales. Through the combination of spectroscopy, imaging, and diffraction, local and global changes in SIBs can be elucidated for improving materials design. The fundamental principles and state-of-the-art capabilities of different techniques are presented, followed by elaborative discussions of major challenges and perspectives.

Abstract
Atomically thin materials (ATMs) with thicknesses in the atomic scale (typically <5 nm) offer inherent advantages of large specific surface areas, proper crystal lattice distortion, abundant surface dangling bonds, and strong in-plane chemical bonds, making them ideal 2D platforms to construct high-performance electrode materials for rechargeable metal-ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries. This work reviews the synthesis and electronic property tuning of state-of-the-art ATMs, including graphene and graphene derivatives (GE/GO/rGO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), phosphorene, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides (MXenes), transition metal oxides (TMOs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for constructing next-generation high-energy-density and high-power-density rechargeable batteries to meet the needs of the rapid developments in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and smart electricity grids. We also present our viewpoints on future challenges and opportunities of constructing efficient ATMs for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
To date, nanotechnology has increasingly been identified as a promising and efficient means to address a number of challenges associated with public health. In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) biomaterials, as a unique nanoplatform with planar topology, have attracted explosive interest in various fields such as biomedicine due to their unique morphology, physicochemical properties and biological effect. Motivated by the progress of graphene in biomedicine, dozens of types of ultrathin 2D biomaterials have found versatile bio-applications, including biosensing, biomedical imaging, delivery of therapeutic agents, cancer theranostics, tissue engineering, as well as others. The effective utilization of 2D biomaterials stems from the in-depth knowledge of structure-property-bioactivity-biosafety-application-performance relationships. A comprehensive summary of 2D biomaterials for biomedicine is still lacking. In this comprehensive review, we aim to concentrate on the state-of-the-art 2D biomaterials with a particular focus on their versatile biomedical applications. In particular, we discuss the design, fabrication and functionalization of 2D biomaterials used for diverse biomedical applications based on the up-to-date progress. Furthermore, the interactions between 2D biomaterials and biological systems on the spatial-temporal scale are highlighted, which will deepen the understanding of the underlying action mechanism of 2D biomaterials aiding their design with improved functionalities. Finally, taking the bench-to-bedside as a focus, we conclude this review by proposing the current crucial issues/challenges and presenting the future development directions to advance the clinical translation of these emerging 2D biomaterials.

Abstract
Nanostructured transition-metal oxides have been under intensive investigation for their tantalizing potential as anodes of next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the exact mechanism for nanostructures to influence the LIB performance remains largely elusive. In this work, we discover the nanostructure-mediated lithiation mechanism in Co3O4 anodes using ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffractometry: while Co3O4 nanosheets exhibit a typical two-step conversion reaction (from Co3O4 to CoO and then to Co0), Co3O4 nanoarrays can go through a direct conversion from Co3O4 to Co0 at a high discharge rate. Such nanostructure-dependent lithiation can be rationalized by the slow lithiation kinetics intrinsic to Co3O4 nanoarrays, which at a high discharge rate may cause local accumulation of lithium to initiate a one-step Co3O4-to-Co0 conversion. Combined with the larger volume change observed in Co3O4 nanoarrays, the slow lithiation kinetics can lead to inhomogeneous expansion with large stress developed at the reaction front, which can eventually cause structure failure and irreversible capacity loss, as explicitly observed by in situ TEM as well as galvanostatic discharge-charge measurement. Our observation resolves the nanostructure-dependent lithiation mechanism of Co3O4 and provides important insights into the interplay among lithiation kinetics, phase evolution, and lithium-storage performance, which can be translated into electrode design strategies for next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
Conversion-type materials have been considered as potentially high-energy-density alternatives to commercially dominant intercalation-based electrodes for rechargeable ion batteries and have attracted tremendous research effort to meet the performance for viable energy-storage technologies. In situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been extensively employed to provide mechanistic insights into understanding the behavior of battery materials. Noticeably, a great portion of previous in situ TEM studies has been focused on conversion-type materials, but a dedicated review for this group of materials is missing in the literature. Herein, recent developments of in situ TEM techniques for investigation of dynamic phase transformation and associated structural, morphological, and chemical evolutions during conversion reactions with alkali ions in secondary batteries are comprehensively summarized. The materials of interest broadly cover metal oxides, chalcogenides, fluorides, phosphides, nitrides, and silicates with specific emphasis on spinel metal oxides and recently emerged 2D metal chalcogenides. Special focus is placed on the scientific findings that are uniquely obtained by in situ TEM to address fundamental questions and practical issues regarding phase transformation, structural evolution, electrochemical redox, reaction mechanism, kinetics, and degradation. Critical challenges and perspectives are discussed for advancing new knowledge that can bridge the gap between prototype materials and real-world applications.

Abstract
As typical 2D materials, VSe2 and MoSe2 both play a complementary role in Li/Na/K storage. Therefore, we designed and optimized the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure to gain highly efficient Li/Na/K-ion batteries. Most importantly, achieving fast Li/Na/K-ion diffusion kinetics in the interlayer of VSe2/MoSe2 is a key point. First of all, first-principles calculations were carried out to systematically investigate the packing structure, mechanical properties, band structure, and Li/Na/K storage mechanism. Our calculated results suggest that a large interlayer spacing (3.80 Å), robust structure, and metallic character pave the way for achieving excellent charge-discharge performance for the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure. Moreover, V and Mo ions both suffer a very mild redox reaction even if Li/Na/K ions fill the interlayer space. These structures were all further verified to show thermal stability (300 K) by means of the AIMD method. By analyzing the Li/Na/K diffusion behavior and the effect of vacancy defect on the structural stability and energy barrier for Li interlayer diffusion, it is found that the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure exhibits very low-energy barriers for Na/K interlayer diffusion (0.21 eV for Na and 0.11 eV for K). Compared with the VSe2/MoSe2 heterostructure, the V0.92Se1.84/MoSe2 heterostructure not only can still maintain a stable structure and metallic character but also has much lower energy barrier for Li interlayer diffusion (0.07 vs 0.48 eV). These discoveries also break new ground to eliminate the obstacles preventing Li+ diffusion in the interlayer of other heterostructure materials. Besides, both VSe2/MoSe2 and V0.92Se1.84/MoSe2 heterostructures have low average open-circuit voltage (OCV) values during Li/Na/K interlayer diffusion (1.07 V for V0.92Se1.84/MoSe2 vs Li+, 0.86 V for VSe2/MoSe2 vs Na+, and 0.54 V for VSe2/MoSe2 vs K+), such low OCV values are beneficial for anode materials with excellent electrochemical properties. The above findings offer a new route to design anode materials for Li/Na/K-ion batteries.

Abstract
Bismuth-based materials have attracted increasing attention in the research field of sodium/potassium-ion batteries owing to the high theoretical capacity. Unfortunately, the large volume variation and poor electrical conductivity limit their electrochemical performance and applications. Herein, we report a composite of heterostructured Bi2S3/MoS2 encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon shell (BMS@NC) obtained by a solvothermal reaction as a novel anode material for sodium/potassium-ion batteries. The coating of the carbon layer could effectively relieve structural strains stemmed from the large volume change and improve electrical conductivity. More importantly, by skillfully constructing the heterostructure, an internal electric field formed on the heterointerface provides a rapid diffusion of ion and charge. As a consequence, the BMS@NC composite showed an excellent electrochemical performance for both sodium-ion batteries (a capacity of 381.5 mA h g-1 achieved at a current density of 5.0 A g-1 and 412 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 400 cycles) and potassium-ion batteries (a high specific capacity of 382.8 mA h g-1 achieved after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1). The design of the Bi2S3/MoS2 heterostructure provides an effective strategy to develop energy storage materials with good electrochemical properties.

Abstract
Li metal is the most ideal anode material to assemble rechargeable batteries with high energy density. However, nonuniform Li-ion flux during repeated Li plating and stripping leads to continuous Li dendrite growth and dead Li formation, which causes safety risks and short lifetime and thus impedes the commercialization of Li metal batteries. Here, parallelly aligned holey nanosheets on a Li metal anode are reported to simultaneously redistribute the Li-ion flux in the electrolyte and in the solid-electrolyte interphase, which allows uniform Li-ion distribution as well as fast Li-ion diffusion for reversible Li plating and stripping. With holey MgO nanosheets as an example, the protected Li anodes achieve Coulombic efficiency of ≈99% and ultralong-term reversible Li plating/stripping over 2500 h at a high current density of 10 mA cm-2 . A full-cell battery, using the protected anode, a 4 V Li-ion cathode, and a commercial carbonate electrolyte, shows capacity retention of 90.9% after 500 cycles.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) were investigated as recently as in the seventies. However, they have been overshadowed for decades, due to the success of lithium-ion batteries that demonstrated higher energy densities and longer cycle lives. Since then, the witness a re-emergence of the SIBs and renewed interest evidenced by an exponential increase of the publications devoted to them (about 9000 publications in 2019, more than 6000 in the first six months this year). This huge effort in research has led and is leading to an important and constant progress in the performance of the SIBs, which have conquered an industrial market and are now commercialized. This progress concerns all the elements of the batteries. We have already recently reviewed the salts and electrolytes, including solid electrolytes to build all-solid-state SIBs. The present review is then devoted to the electrode materials. For anodes, they include carbons, metal chalcogenide-based materials, intercalation-based and conversion reaction compounds (transition metal oxides and sulfides), intermetallic compounds serving as functional alloying elements. For cathodes, layered oxide materials, polyionic compounds, sulfates, pyrophosphates and Prussian blue analogs are reviewed. The electrode structuring is also discussed, as it impacts, importantly, the electrochemical performance. Attention is focused on the progress made in the last five years to report the state-of-the-art in the performance of the SIBs and justify the efforts of research.

Abstract
Despite the ever-growing demand in safe and high power/energy density of Li+ ion and Li metal rechargeable batteries (LIBs), materials-related challenges are responsible for the majority of performance degradation in such batteries. These challenges include electrochemically induced phase transformations, repeated volume expansion and stress concentrations at interfaces, poor electrical and mechanical properties, low ionic conductivity, dendritic growth of Li, oxygen release and transition metal dissolution of cathodes, polysulfide shuttling in Li-sulfur batteries, and poor reversibility of lithium peroxide/superoxide products in Li-O2 batteries. Owing to compelling physicochemical and structural properties, in recent years two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates to address the challenges in LIBs. This Review highlights the cutting-edge advances of LIBs by using 2D materials as cathodes, anodes, separators, catalysts, current collectors, and electrolytes. It is shown that 2D materials can protect the electrode materials from pulverization, improve the synergy of Li+ ion deposition, facilitate Li+ ion flux through electrolyte and electrode/electrolyte interfaces, enhance thermal stability, block the lithium polysulfide species, and facilitate the formation/decomposition of Li-O2 discharge products. This work facilitates the design of safe Li batteries with high energy and power density by using 2D materials.

Abstract
Mg2+/Li+ hybrid ion batteries (MLIBs) are regarded as promising candidates for electrical energy devices due to their combination of a fast lithium intercalation cathode and a safe magnesium anode. Herein, two-dimensional Nb2O5 holey nanosheets are synthesized using a graphene oxide sacrificial template method and these are then used as the cathode of a MLIB for the first time. It exhibits a high discharge capacity (195.9 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1), excellent rate performance (72.1 mA h g-1 at 2000 mA g-1) and a long cycling life (exhibiting a capacity fading rate of 0.032% per cycle at 2000 mA g-1 over 1000 cycles). The remarkable electrochemical performance can be attributed to the unique two-dimensional holey nanosheet structure, which is beneficial for improving electronic conductivity and lithium ion conductivity.

Abstract
Ternary transition metal oxides (TMOs) are highly potential electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to abundant defects and synergistic effects with various metal elements in a single structure. However, low electronic/ionic conductivity and severe volume change hamper their practical application for lithium storage. Herein, nanosheet-assembled hollow single-hole Ni-Co-Mn oxide (NHSNCM) spheres with oxygen vacancies can be obtained through a facile hydrothermal reaction, which makes both ends of each nanosheet exposed to sufficient free space for volume variation, electrolyte for extra active surface area, and dual ion diffusion paths compared with airtight hollow structures. Furthermore, oxygen vacancies could improve ion/electronic transport and ion insertion/extraction process of NHSNCM spheres. Thus, oxygen-vacancy-rich NHSNCM spheres embedded into a 3D porous carbon nanotube/graphene network as the anode film ensure efficient electrolyte infiltration into both the exterior and interior of porous and open spheres for a high utilization of the active material, showing an excellent electrochemical performance for LIBs (1595 mAh g-1 over 300 cycles at 2 A g-1 , 441.6 mAh g-1 over 4000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ). Besides, this straightforward synthetic method opens an efficacious avenue for the construction of various nanosheet-assembled hollow single-hole TMO spheres for potential applications.

Abstract
Intercalation in few-layer (2D) materials is a rapidly growing area of research to develop next-generation energy-storage and optoelectronic devices, including batteries, sensors, transistors, and electrically tunable displays. Identifying fundamental differences between intercalation in bulk and 2D materials will play a key role in developing functional devices. Herein, advances in few-layer intercalation are addressed in the historical context of bulk intercalation. First, synthesis methods and structural properties are discussed, emphasizing electrochemical techniques, the mechanism of intercalation, and the formation of a solid-electrolyte interphase. To address fundamental differences between bulk and 2D materials, scaling relationships describe how intercalation kinetics, structure, and electronic and optical properties depend on material thickness and lateral dimension. Here, diffusion rates, pseudocapacity, limits of staging, and electronic structure are compared for bulk and 2D materials. Next, the optoelectronic properties are summarized, focusing on charge transfer, conductivity, and electronic structure. For energy devices, opportunities also emerge to design van der Waals heterostructures with high capacities and excellent cycling performance. Initial studies of heterostructured electrodes are compared to state-of-the-art battery materials. Finally, challenges and opportunities are presented for 2D materials in energy and optoelectronic applications, along with promising research directions in synthesis and characterization to engineer 2D materials for superior devices.

Abstract
Nonaqueous Na-ion capacitors (NICs) have been recently regarded as potential sustainable power devices due to their high specific energy/power and the abundant distribution of sodium resources on the Earth. However, the power performance of current NICs is usually restricted by the kinetics imbalance between sodium deintercalation/intercalation in the anode and surface ion adsorption/desorption in the cathode. Herein, we demonstrate superior sodium-ion storage properties of nitrogen/sulfur co-doped hierarchical hollow carbon nanofibers (N/S-HCNFs) for their application as an ideal anode material for NICs. The N/S-HCNFs are fabricated through in situ gas sulfuration of a hollow polyaniline nanofiber precursor, which is obtained with the aid of citric acid templates. Benefiting from the positive synergistic effects of both N and S co-doping in carbon and the hierarchical hollow one-dimensional structure, the sodium-storage performance of N/S-HCNFs half-cell versus Na/Na+ exhibits a high capacity (∼447 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1), excellent rate capability (∼185 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1), and outstanding cycling stability (no capacity decay after 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1), which is among the best sodium-ion storage performances of carbonaceous Na-storage anodes. Furthermore, a dual-carbon NIC device is constructed with N/S-HCNFs as an anode and activated carbon (AC) as a cathode, and it has a large energy density of 116.4 W h kg-1, a high power density of 20 kW kg-1 (at 48.2 W h kg-1) and a long cycle life of 3000 cycles, which is superior to most reported AC-based NICs.

Abstract
Spinel Co3O4 thin films were synthesized using a sol–gel technique to study the annealing atmosphere effect on resistive switching (RS) and magnetic modulation properties. Compared with oxygen and air annealed Pt/Co3O4/Pt stacks, the nitrogen annealed Pt/Co3O4/Pt stack shows optimal switching parameters such as a lower forming voltage, uniform distribution of switching voltages, excellent cycle-to-cycle endurance (>800 cycles), and good data retention. Improvement in switching parameters is ascribed to the formation of confined conducting filaments (CFs) which are composed of oxygen vacancies. From the analysis of current–voltage characteristics and their temperature dependence, the carrier transport mechanism in the high-field region of the high resistance state was dominated by Schottky emission. Besides, temperature dependent resistance and magnetization variations revealed that the physical mechanism of RS can be explained based on the formation and rupture of oxygen vacancy based CFs. In addition, multilevel saturation magnetization under different resistance states is attributed to the variation of oxygen vacancy concentration accompanied with the changes in the valence state of cations. Results suggested that using a nitrogen annealing atmosphere to anneal the thin films is a feasible approach to improve RS parameters and enhance the magnetic properties of Co3O4 thin film, which shows promising applications to design multifunctional electro-magnetic coupling nonvolatile memory devices. The resistive switching and magnetic properties can be enhanced by controlling oxygen vacancies via the annealing atmosphere effect.![]()

Abstract
Layered hydroxides (LHs) have emerged as an important class of functional materials owing to their unusual physicochemical properties induced by various intercalated species. While both the electrochemistry and interlayer engineering of the materials have been reported, the role of interlayer engineering in improving the Li-ion storage of these materials remains unclear. Here, we rationally introduce pillar ions with conjugated anion dicarboxylate groups, cobalt oxalate ions ([CoOx2]2-), into the interlayers of Co(OH)2 nanosheets [denoted as I-Co(OH)2 NSs]. The pillar ion guarantees excellent structural stability, high electrical conductivity, and accelerated Li-ion diffusion. The structure delivers high-rate cycling performance for lithium-ion batteries. This work provides insights for the design of LH-based high-performance electrode materials by a rational interlayer-engineering strategy.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a type of porous material, have aroused great interest as precursors or templates for the derivation of metal oxides and composites for the next generation of electrochemical energy storage applications owing to their high specific surface areas, controllable structures, and adjustable pore sizes. The electrode materials, which affect the performance in practical applications, are pivotal components of batteries and supercapacitors. Metal oxide composites derived from metal-organic frameworks possessing high reversible capacity and superior rate and cycle performance are excellent electrode materials. In this Review, potential applications for MOF-derived metal oxide composites for lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium-oxygen batteries, and supercapacitors are studied and summarized. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for future research on MOF-derived metal oxide composites are proposed on the basis of academic knowledge from the reported literature as well as from experimental experience.

Abstract
Tin-based alloys (Sn-M, M = Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) have been considered as promising alternatives for graphite anode in advanced Li-ion batteries, but their practical application is hindered by huge volume change-induced poor cycle life. We propose here a facile inorganic-organic double-network nanostructured hydrogel-enabled methodology for uniformly immobilizing ultrafine Sn-M alloys in hierarchical carbon frameworks. The double-network nanostructured gel, consisting of three-dimensional (3D) intertwined cyano-bridged Sn(IV)-Fe(II) inorganic gel and chitosan-glutaraldehyde organic polymer gel, can realize 3D space confinement in molecular scale and thus obtain ultrafine Sn-Fe alloy particles (average size ∼2.7 nm) uniformly embedded in hierarchical 1D to 3D carbon framework. These unique structural features enable the Sn-Fe@C framework electrodes to exhibit long cycle life (516 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.1 A g-1) and high rate capability (491 and 270 mA h g-1 at 1 and 10 A g-1, respectively). This work provides new insight into controlled synthesis of ultrafine alloys in hierarchical 3D carbon frameworks for improving energy storage properties.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have huge potential for applications in large-scale energy storage systems due to their low cost and abundant sources. It is essential to develop new electrode materials for SIBs with high performance in terms of energy density, cycle life, and cost. Metal binary compounds that operate through conversion reactions hold promise as advanced anode materials for sodium storage. This Review highlights the storage mechanisms and advantages of conversion-type anode materials and summarizes their recent development. Although conversion-type anode materials have high theoretical capacities and abundant varieties, they suffer from multiple challenging obstacles to realize commercial applications, such as low reversible capacity, large voltage hysteresis, low initial coulombic efficiency, large volume changes, and low cycling stability. These key challenges are analyzed in this Review, together with emerging strategies to overcome them, including nanostructure and surface engineering, electrolyte optimization, and battery configuration designs. This Review provides pertinent insights into the prospects and challenges for conversion-type anode materials, and will inspire their further study.

Abstract
In this study, the potential of conversion-type anode materials for alkali-ion batteries has been examined and analyzed in terms of the parameters of prime importance for practical alkali-ion systems. Issues like voltage hysteresis, discharge profile, rate stabilities, cyclic stabilities, irreversible capacity loss, and Columbic efficiencies have been specifically addressed and analyzed as the key subjects. Relevant studies on achieving a better performance by addressing one or more of the issues have been carefully selected and outlook has been presented on the basis of this literature. Mechanistic insights into the subject of conversion reactions are discussed in light of the use of recent and advanced techniques like in situ transmission electron microscopy, in operando X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Three-dimensional plots depicting the performance of different materials, morphologies, and compositions with respect to these parameters are also presented to highlight the systematic of multiparameter dependencies. Inferences are drawn from these plots in the form of a short section at the end, which should be helpful to the readers, especially young researchers. We believe that this study differs from others on the subject in being focused toward addressing the practical limitations and providing possible research directions to achieve the best possible results from conversion-type anode materials.

Abstract
Research on 2D nanomaterials is rising to an unprecedented height and will continue to remain a very important topic in materials science. In parallel with the discovery of new candidate materials and exploration of their unique characteristics, there are intensive interests to rationally control and tune the properties of 2D nanomaterials in a predictable manner. Considerable attention is focused on modifying these materials structurally or engineering them into designed architectures to meet requirements for specific applications. Recent advances in such structural engineering strategies have demonstrated their ability to overcome current material limitations, showing great promise for promoting device performance to a new level in many energy-related applications. Existing in many forms, these strategies can be categorized based on how they intrinsically or extrinsically alter the pristine structure. Achieved through various synthetic routes and practiced in a range of different material systems, they usually share common descriptors that predestine them to be effective in certain circumstances. Therefore, understanding the underlying mechanism of these strategies to provide fundamental insights into structural design and property tailoring is of critical importance. Here, the most recent development of structural engineering of 2D nanomaterials and their significant effects in energy storage and catalysis technologies are addressed.
