Abstract
All-solid-state batteries with nonflammable inorganic solid electrolytes are the key to addressing the safety issues of lithium-ion batteries with flammable organic liquid electrolytes. However, conventional electrode materials suffer from substantial volume changes during Li+ (de)intercalation, leading to mechanical failure of interfaces between electrode materials and solid electrolytes and then severe performance degradation. In this study, we report strain-free charge storage via the interfaces between transition metal carbides (MXenes) and solid electrolytes, where MXene shows negligible structural changes during Li+ (de)intercalation. Operando scanning electron transmission microscopy with electron energy-loss spectroscopy reveals the pillar effect of trapped Li+ in the interlayer spaces of MXene to achieve the strain-free features. An all strain-free solid-state battery, which consists of a strain-free Ti3C2Tx negative electrode and a strain-free disordered rocksalt Li8/7Ti2/7V4/7O2 positive electrode, demonstrates long-term stable operation while preserving the interfacial contact between electrode materials and solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Achieving high energy density has always been the goal of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). SiOx has emerged as a compelling candidate for use as a negative electrode material due to its remarkable capacity. However, the huge volume expansion and the unstable electrode interface during (de)lithiation, hinder its further development. Herein, we report a facile strategy for the synthesis of surface fluorinated SiOx (SiOx@vG-F), and investigate their influences on battery performance. Systematic experiments investigations indicate that the reaction between Li+ and fluorine groups promotes the in situ formation of stable LiF-rich solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the surface of SiOx@vG-F anode, which effectively suppresses the pulverization of microsized SiOx particles during the charge and discharge cycle. As a result, the SiOx@vG-F enabled a higher capacity retention of 86.4 % over 200 cycles at 1.0 C in the SiOx@vG-F||LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full cell. This approach will provide insights for the advancement of alternative electrode materials in diverse energy conversion and storage systems.

Abstract
Ni-rich NCM and SiOx electrode materials have garnered the most attention for advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs); however, severe parasitic reactions occurring at their interfaces are critical bottlenecks in their widespread application. In this study, an effective additive combination (VL) composed of vinylene carbonate (VC) and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) is proposed for both Ni-rich NCM and SiOx electrode materials. The LiDFOB additive individually delivers inorganic-rich cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) and solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers in anodic and cathodic polarizations before the VC additive. Subsequently, the VC additive is capable of the formation of additional CEI and SEI layers composed of relatively organic-rich components through an electrochemical reaction; thus, inorganic-organic hybridized CEI and SEI layers are simultaneously formed at the Ni-rich NCM and SiOx electrodes. Accordingly, the VL-assisted electrolyte exhibits remarkably prolonged cycling retention for the Ni-rich NCM cathode (86.5%) and SiOx anode (72.7%), whereas the standard electrolyte shows a substantial decrease in cycling retention for the Ni-rich NCM cathode (59.2%) and SiOx anode (18.1%). Further systematic analyses prove that VL-assisted electrolytes form effective interphases for Ni-rich NCM and SiOx electrodes simultaneously, thereby leading to stable and prolonged cycling behaviors of LIBs that offer high energy densities.

Abstract
The application of Si anodes is hindered by some critical issues such as large volume changes of bare Si and fragile solid-electrolyte interface (SEI), resulting in low coulombic efficiency and rapid capacity decay. Herein, a multifunctional SEI film with high content of LiF is in situ constructed via the surface grafting of carbon-fluorine functionalized groups on silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) during cycling. Mechanical study demonstrates that the incorporation of LiF with high modulus and unbroken carbon-fluorine groups with highly elastic guarantee the rigid-soft coupling SEI film on Si electrode. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the rigid-soft coupling SEI film can effectively accommodate the volume expansion of Si nanoparticles during lithiation process, with the electrode expanding rate of only 114.16% after 100 cycles (263.87% for bare Si without surface modification). Afterward, with the aid of well-designed rigid-soft coupling SEI, the initial Coulomb efficiency of 89.8% is achieved, showing a reversible capacity of 1477 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 1.2 A g-1 . This work provides a simple and efficient solution that can potentially facilitate the practical application of Si anodes.

Abstract
Stabilizing a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film on the Si surface is a prerequisite for realizing silicon (Si) anode applications. Interfacial engineering is one of the effective strategies to construct stable SEI films on Si surfaces and improve the electrochemical performance of the Si anodes. This work develops a silver (Ag)-decorated mucic acid (MA) buffer interface on the Si surface and the obtained Si@MA*Ag anode retains 1567 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 2.1 A g-1 and exhibits 1740 mAh g-1 at 126 A g-1, which are significantly higher than those of the bare Si anode of 247 and 145 mAh g-1 under the same conditions, respectively. Analysis indicates that the improved electrochemical performance is because of the depressed volume effect of the Si particles and the sustained integrity of the electrode laminate during cycling, the enhanced lithium diffusion on the Si surface, and the improved electronic conductivity of the Si anode, as well as the facilitated formation of inorganic components in the SEI film.

Abstract
The properties and applications of MXenes (a family of layered transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have aroused enormous research interests for a decade since the successful synthesis of few-layer transition metal carbides in 2011. Though MXenes, as the building blocks, have already been applied in various fields (such as wearable electronics) owing to the distinctive optical, mechanical and electrical properties, their thermal stability and intrinsic thermal properties were less thoroughly investigated compared to other characteristics in early reports. The pioneering theoretical prediction of the thermoelectric nature of MXenes was performed in 2013 while the first experiment-based report concerning the degradation behavior of the 2D structure at elevated temperatures in a controlled atmosphere was published in 2015, followed by numerous discoveries regarding the thermal properties of MXenes. Herein, after a brief description of the synthesis, this Review summarized the latest insights into the thermal stability and thermophysical properties of MXenes, and further associated these unique properties with relevant applications by multiple examples. Finally, current hurdles and challenges in this field were provided along with some advices on potential research directions in the future.

Abstract
Conjugated quinones are promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. However, the contemporary primary conjugated quinones cathodes still hold to limited capacity, poor rate performance and low cyclability, due to the poor electronic and ionic conductivity. Herein, a series of high-performance conjugated-quinones@MXene hybrid cathodes is constructed by an in situ polymerization-assembly strategy based on the hydrogen bond and S-Ti interaction. The PAQS@Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrid, as a typical example, exhibits sandwiched structure with intimate PAQS@MXene contact, resulting in efficient interfacial mass transfer. The assembled MXene is able to build interconnected conductive channels in the hybrid cathodes for continuous and fast electrons/ions transport, which is verified by both the experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. As a result, the optimal PAQS@MXene hybrid electrode delivers excellent electrochemical performances with high capacity (∼242 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1), superior fast-charge/discharge ability (∼148 and 121 mA h g-1 at 5 and 10 A g-1, respectively), and ultralong cycle life (capacity as high as 57 mA h g-1 after 9000 cycles at 5 A g-1), which are more superior to that of the pure PAQS electrodes. Besides, the analogous PPTS@Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrid cathode also shows better performances compared to the pure materials.

Abstract
We report hierarchical-ordered ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx MXene core-sheath fibers, in which a ZIF-L(Zn) nanowall array sheath is grown vertically on an anisotropic Ti3 C2 Tx core by Ti-O-Zn/Ti-F-Zn chemical bonds. Through highly efficient microfluidic assembly and microchannel reactions, ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibits well-developed micro-/mesoporosity, ordered ionic pathways, fast interfacial electron conduction and large-scale fabrication, significantly boosting charges dynamic transport and intercalation. The resultant ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx fiber presents large capacitance (1700 F cm-3 ) and outstanding rate performance in a 1 M H2 SO4 electrolyte. Additionally, ZIF-L(Zn)@Ti3 C2 Tx fiber-based solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors deliver high energy density (19.0 mWh cm-3 ), excellent capacitance (854 F cm-3 ), large deformable/wearable capabilities and long-time cyclic stability (20 000 cycles), which realize natural sunlight-induced self-powered applications to drive water level/earthquake alarm devices.

Abstract
Electrochemical carbon dioxide conversion at ambient temperature is an efficient route to synchronously provide a continuous power supply and produce useful chemicals such as carbonates. Rigid catalysts with rational morphological and structural design are used to overcome the sluggish reaction kinetics and contribute to a better cycle life in Li-CO2 batteries. In this report, a two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene/carbon heterostructure assembled parallel-aligned tubular architecture was delicately synthesized through a self-sacrificial templating method and delivered an ultralow overpotential of 1.38 V at 0.2 A·g-1. The heterostructure that inherited the high catalytic performance of Ti3C2Tx MXene and the outstanding stability of carbon material promoted the adsorption of CO2 and accelerated the decomposition of lithium carbonate, which was proved by in situ and ex situ characterizations and density functional theory calculations. The tubular architecture with large surface area was demonstrated to provide a high durability for long cycle life and ensure good contacts among gas, electrolyte, and electrode.

Abstract
Recently, the frequency of combining MXene, which has unique properties such as metal-level conductivity and large specific surface area, with silicon to achieve excellent electrochemical performance has increased considerably. There is no doubt that the introduction of MXene can improve the conductivity of silicon and the cycling stability of electrodes after elaborate structure design. However, most exhaustive contacts can only improve the electrode conductivity on the plane. Herein, a MXene@Si/CNTs (HIEN-MSC) composite with hierarchical interpenetrating electroconductive networks has been synthesized by electrostatic self-assembly. In this process, the CNTs are first combined with silicon nanoparticles and then assembled with MXene nanosheets. Inserting CNTs into silicon nanoparticles can not only reduce the latter's agglomeration, but also immobilizes them on the three-dimensional conductive framework composed of CNTs and MXene nanosheets. Therefore, the HIEN-MSC electrode shows superior rate performance (high reversible capacity of 280 mA h-1 even tested at 10 A g-1 ), cycling stability (stable reversible capacity of 547 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 1 A g-1 ) and applicability (a high reversible capacity of 101 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles when assembled with NCM622 into a full cell). These results may provide new insights for other electrodes with excellent rate performance and long-cycle stability.

Abstract
Silicon anodes are promising for high energy batteries because of their excellent theoretical gravimetric capacity (3579 mA h g-1). However, silicon's large volume expansion and poor conductivity hinder its practical application; thus, binders and conductive additives are added, effectively diluting the active silicon material. To address this issue, reports of 2D MXene nanosheets have emerged as additives for silicon anodes, but many of these reports use high MXene compositions of 22-66 wt%, still presenting the issue of diluting the active silicon material. Herein, this report examines the question of what minimal amount of MXene nanosheets is required to act as an effective additive while maximizing total silicon anode capacity. A minimal amount of only 4 wt% MXenes (with 16 wt% sodium alginate and no carbon added) yielded silicon anodes with a capacity of 900 mA h gSi-1 or 720 mA h gtotal-1 at the 200th cycle at 0.5 C-rate. Further, this approach yielded the highest specific energy on a total electrode mass basis (3100 W h kgtotal-1) as comapared to other silicon-MXene constructs (∼115-2000 Wh kgtotal-1) at a corresponding specific power. The stable electrode performance even with a minimal MXene content is attributed to several factors: (1) highly uniform silicon electrodes due to the dispersibility of MXenes in water, (2) the high MXene aspect ratio that enables improved electrical connections, and (3) hydrogen bonding among MXenes, sodium alginate, and silicon particles. All together, a much higher silicon loading (80 wt%) is attained with a lower MXene loading, which then maximizes the capacity of the entire electrode.
