Abstract
Slow charging speed has been a serious constraint to the promotion of electric vehicles (EVs), and therefore the development of advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with fast-charging capability has become an urgent task. Thanks to its low price and excellent overall electrochemical performance, graphite has dominated the anode market for the past 30 years. However, it is difficult to meet the development needs of fast-charging batteries using graphite anodes due to their fast capacity degradation and safety hazards under high-current charging processes. This feature article describes the failure mechanism of graphite anodes under fast charging, and then summarizes the basic principles, current research progress, advanced strategies and challenges of fast-charging anodes represented by graphite, lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12) and niobium-based oxides. Moreover, we look forward to the development prospects of fast-charging anodes and provide some guidance for future research in the field of fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
The combination of spinel Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) with carbon nanostructures, such as graphene (G) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), provides all of the required properties for modern chemical power sources such as Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs). G/LTO and CNT/LTO composites demonstrate a superior reversible capacity, cycling stability, and good rate performances. In this paper, an ab initio attempt to estimate the electronic and capacitive properties of such composites was made for the first time. It was found that the interaction between LTO particles and CNTs was higher than that with graphene due to the larger amount of transfer charge. Increasing the graphene concentration raised the Fermi level and enhanced the conductive properties of G/LTO composites. For CNT/LTO samples, the radius of CNT did not affect the Fermi level. For both G/LTO and CNT/LTO composites, an increase in the carbon ratio resulted in a similar reduction in quantum capacitance (QC). It was observed that during the charge cycle in the real experiment, the non-Faradaic process prevailed during the charge cycle, while the Faradaic process prevailed during the discharge cycle. The obtained results confirm and explain the experimental data and improve the understanding of the processes occurring in G/LTO and CNT/LTO composites for their usages in LIBs and SCs.

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

Abstract
Anode materials based on lithium titanate (LTO)/graphene composites are considered as ideal candidates for high-rate lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Considering the blocking effects of graphene nanosheets in electrodes during ion-transfer processes, construction of LTO/graphene composite structures with enhanced electrical and ionic conductivity via facile and scalable techniques is still challenging for high-rate LIB. In this work, structures of anode materials based on LTO nanoplates embedded with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are demonstrated for high-rate LIB. The hybrids can be facilely prepared viain situintroduction of GQDs during the process LTO preparation, which enables a uniform dispersion of GQDs within LTO. This method is convenient, rapid, and can be easily scaled-up. The introduction of 0.05 wt.% GQDs can greatly enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrodes. The electrodes with 0.05 wt.% GQDs deliver a specific discharge capacity of 185, 181 and 179 mAh g-1at 5, 10, and 20 C, respectively. The performance enhancement is suggested to be due to the synergistic interactions between LTO and GQDs. The strategy as well as as-designed structures of LTO/GQDs show potentials for application as high-rate anode materials in LIBs application.
