Abstract
P2-type layered materials (Na x TMO2) have become attractive cathode electrodes owing to their high theoretical energy density and simple preparation. However, they still face severe phase transition and low conductivity. Current research on Na x TMO2 is mostly focused on the modification of bulk materials, and the application performances have been infrequently addressed. This review summarizes the information on current common P2-Na x TMO2 materials and discusses their sodium-storage mechanisms. Furthermore, modification strategies to improve their performance are addressed for practical applications based on a range of key parameters (output voltage, specific capacity, and lifespan). We also discuss the future development trends and application prospects for P2 cathode materials.

Abstract
Lithium-based batteries (LBBs) have been highly researched and recognized as a mature electrochemical energy storage (EES) system in recent years. However, their stability and effectiveness are primarily confined to room temperature conditions. At temperatures significantly below 0 °C or above 60 °C, LBBs experience substantial performance degradation. Under such challenging extreme contexts, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) emerge as a promising complementary technology, distinguished by their fast dynamics at low-temperature regions and superior safety under elevated temperatures. Notably, developing SIBs suitable for wide-temperature usage still presents significant challenges, particularly for specific applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and deep-space/polar explorations, which requires a thorough understanding of how SIBs perform under different temperature conditions. By reviewing the development of wide-temperature SIBs, the influence of temperature on the parameters related to battery performance, such as reaction constant, charge transfer resistance, etc., is systematically and comprehensively analyzed. The review emphasizes challenges encountered by SIBs in both low and high temperatures while exploring recent advancements in SIB materials, specifically focusing on strategies to enhance battery performance across diverse temperature ranges. Overall, insights gained from these studies will drive the development of SIBs that can handle the challenges posed by diverse and harsh climates.

Abstract
The utilization of Na2MnSiO4 as a Faraday electrode in hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) is investigated to achieve efficient desalination. The Na2MnSiO4/C (NMSO) materials were fabricated via a simple sol-gel method, in which the synthesis process was modulated by adjusting the volume ratio of ethanol to water. When maintaining the volume ratio of water to ethanol at 3:1, the resultant NMSO-3/1 exhibited expected salt adsorption capacity of 31.06 mg g-1 and salt adsorption rate of 20.43 mg g-1 min-1. This distinguished desalination performance was mainly attributed to its inherent multiple redox pairs, as well as the integration of ethanol, which enhanced both specific capacitance and hydrophilicity of the material. This study opens a new perspective for the development of highly efficient materials in HCDI.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2306533.

Abstract
Advanced high-energy-density sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are inseparable from cathode materials with high specific capacities. Layered manganese-rich oxides (NaxMnO2, 0.6 ≤ x ≤1) are promising cathode materials owing to their ease of intercalation and extraction of a considerable amount of sodium ions. However, lattice interactions, especially electrostatic repulsive forces and anisotropic stresses, are usually caused by deep desodiatin/sodiation process, resulting in intragranular cracks and capacity degradation in SIBs. Here, boron ions are introduced into the layered structure to build up B─O─Mn bonds. The regulated electronic structure in Na0.637B0.038MnO2 (B-NMO) materials inhibits the deformation of MnO6 octahedra, which finally achieves a gentle structural transition during the deep sodiation process. B-NMO electrode exhibits a high capacity (141 mAh g-1) at 1 C with a capacity retention of 81% after 100 cycles. Therefore, anchoring boron to manganese-rich materials inhibits the detrimental structural evolution of deep sodiation and can be used to obtain excellent cathode materials for SIBs.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2210966.

Abstract
Increasing the upper cut-off voltage of LiCoO2 (LCO) is one of the most efficient strategies to gain high-energy density for current lithium-ion batteries. However, surface instability is expected to be exaggerated with increasing voltage arising from the high reactivity between the delithiated LCO and electrolytes, leading to serious safety concerns. This work is aimed to construct a physically and chemically stable phosphate-rich cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) on the LCO particles to mitigate this issue. This phosphate-rich CEI is generated during the electrochemical activation by using fluoroethylene carbonate and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyletherare as the solvents. Both solvents also demonstrate high thermal stability, reducing the intrinsic flammability of the commercial organic electrolyte, thereby eliminating the safety concern in the LCO-based systems upon high-voltage operation. This stable CEI layer on the particle surface can also enhance the surface structure by blocking direct contact between LCO and electrolyte, improving the cycling stability. Therefore, by using the proposed electrolyte, the LCO cathode exhibits a high-capacity retention of 76.1% after 200 cycles at a high cut-off voltage of 4.6 V. This work provides a novel insight into the rational design of high-voltage and safe battery systems by adopting the flame-retardant electrolyte.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 is one of the most studied polyanion type cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and offers great promises. However, the inferior rate capability induced by its sluggish diffusion of electrons and ions greatly limits the practical application of electrode materials in SIBs. Herein, we develop an efficient method to fabricate in situ carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 nanosheets by using cost-effective amylopectin. The amylopectin not only could induce the nucleation of Na3V2(PO4)2F3 along its backbone to form a 2D nanostructure, but also act as a source of amorphous carbon for in situ coating on the active material surface. The composite exhibits extraordinary rate capability (104 mA h g-1 at 40 C, 51 mA h g-1 at 150 C) and desirable cycling stability. Such satisfactory achievements, especially the superior rate performance, should be ascribed to its unique 2D nanostructure which shortens the Na+ diffusion length, and the in situ carbon coating endows the composites with effective electron transport. Even applied to full cells, the obtained devices still display an exceptionally high energy density (94.8 W h kg-1), high power density (7295 W kg-1), and excellent cyclic stability.

Abstract
The essential requirement to harness well-known renewable energy sources like wind energy, solar energy, etc. as a component of an overall plan to guarantee global power sustainability will require highly efficient, high power and energy density batteries to collect the derived electrical power and balance out variations in both supply and demand. Owing to the continuous exhaustion of fossil fuels, and ever increasing ecological problems associated with global warming, there is a critical requirement for searching for an alternative energy storage technology for a better and sustainable future. Electrochemical energy storage technology could be a solution for a sustainable source of clean energy. Sodium-ion battery (SIB) technology having a complementary energy storage mechanism to the lithium-ion battery (LIB) has been attracting significant attention from the scientific community due to its abundant resources, low cost, and high energy densities. Layered transition metal oxide (TMO) based materials for SIBs could be a potential candidate for SIBs among all other cathode materials. In this paper, we discussed the latest improvement in the various structures of the layered oxide materials for SIBs. Moreover, their synthesis, overall electrochemical performance, and several challenges associated with SIBs are comprehensively discussed with a stance on future possibilities. Many articles discussed the improvement of cathode materials for SIBs, and most of them have pondered the use of Na x MO2 (a class of TMOs) as a possible positive electrode material for SIBs. The different phases of layered TMOs (Na x MO2; TM = Co, Mn, Ti, Ni, Fe, Cr, Al, V, and a combination of multiple elements) show good cycling capacity, structural stability, and Na+ ion conductivity, which make them promising cathode material for SIBs. This review discusses and summarizes the electrochemical redox reaction, structural transformations, significant challenges, and future prospects to improve for Na x MO2. Moreover, this review highlights the recent advancement of several layered TMO cathode materials for SIBs. It is expected that this review will encourage further development of layered TMOs for SIBs.

Abstract
Polyimide-Al2O3 membranes are developed as a direct alternative to current polyolefin separators by the electrospinning technique and their chemical structures confirm the carbonyl group with the presence of asymmetric and symmetric stretching and bending vibrations at 1778, 1720, and 720 cm-1 and stretching vibration at 1373 cm-1 for the imide group. Porous nanofiber architecture morphology is realized with a nanofiber thickness of ∼200 nm and shows an ultrasmooth surface and >1 μm pore size in the architecture, built with the chemical constituents of carbon, nitrogen, aluminum, and oxygen elements. The galvanostatic cycling study of the Li/PI-Al2O3/LiFePO4 lithium cell delivers stable charge-discharge capacities of 144/143 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and 110/100 mAh g-1 at 1 C for 1-100 cycles. The fabricated MCMB/PI-Al2O3/LiFePO4 lithium-ion full-cell reveals less charge transfer resistance of Rct ∼ 25 Ω and yields stable charge-discharge capacities of 125/119 mAh g-1. The thermogravimetric curve for the PI-Al2O3 separator discloses thermal stability up to 525 °C, and the differential scanning calorimetric curve shows a straight line until 300 °C and depicts high thermal stability than the PP separator. In situ multimode calorimetry analysis of the MCMB/PP/LiFePO4 full-cell showed a pronounced exothermic peak at 225 °C with a higher released heat energy of 211 J g-1 at the thermal runaway event, while the MCMB/PI-Al2O3/LiFePO4 full-cell revealed an almost 8-fold less exothermic released heat energy of 25 J g-1 than the Celgard polypropylene separator, which was because the MCMB anode and LiFePO4 cathode can be mechanically isolated without any additional separator's melting and burning reactions, as a fire-suppressant separator for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Advanced wave-shape non-graphitizable carbon sheets are derived, comprising mesoporous weaved turbostratic micropore enabled stable Na+ ion storage. The non-graphitizable amorphous characteristics are determined from the obtained two broad diffraction peaks at 22.7° and 43.8°. The observed D-band at 1325 cm-1 and G-band at 1586 cm-1 confirm the disordered graphitic structure, attributed to the measured specific surface area of 54 m2 g-1. Mesoporous weaved wave-shape carbon sheet architecture is confirmed by surface morphological studies, showing lattice fringes of disordered graphitic structures and dispersed ring patterns for the non-crystalline characteristics. The predominant stable redox peak at 0.014 V/0.185 V and the broader rectangular shape between 0.9 and 0.15 V depict the adsorption-micropore filling mechanism. The mesoporous hard carbon sheet delivers discharge-charge capacities of 450/311 mAh g-1 (1st cycle) and 263/267 mAh g-1 (250th cycle) at 25 mA g-1, exhibiting a superior anode for sodium-ion batteries. Besides, in situ multimode calorimetry results disclose that the micropore filling Na+ ion storage shows a higher released total heat energy of 721 J g-1 than the adsorption (471 J g-1). Ultimately, differential scanning calorimetry analysis of micropore filling Na+ ion storage (discharged state at 0.01 V) has revealed a predominant exothermic peak at 156 °C with the highest released total heat energy of 2183 J g-1 compared to adsorption (553 J g-1) and deintercalation (85 J g-1), indicating that micropore filling status is more unsafe than the adsorption and deintercalation for SIBs.
