Abstract
As the most promising anodic candidate for alkali ion batteries, red phosphorus (P) still faces big challenges, such as the poor rate and cycling performance, which are caused by the insulative nature and the large volume change throughout the alloy/dealloy process. To ameliorate above issues, the traditional way is confining P into the carbon host. However, investigations on maximizing P utilization are inadequate; in other words, how to achieve entire confinement with a high loading amount is still a problem. Additionally, the application of P in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) is in its infant stage, and the corresponding potassiation product is controversial. Herein, a nitrogen-doped stripped-graphene CNT (N-SGCNT) as carbon framework is prepared to exclusively confine ultrafine P to construct P@N-SGCNT composites. Benefitting from the in situ cross-linked structure, N-SGCNT loaded with 41.2 wt % P (P2@N-SGCNT) shows outstanding Na+/K+ storage performance. For instance, P2@N-SGCNT exhibits high reversible capacities of 2480 mAh g-1 for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and 762 mAh g-1 for PIBs, excellent rate capabilities of 1770 mAh g-1 for SIBs and 354 mAh g-1 for PIBs at 2.0 A g-1, and long cycling stability (a capacity of 1936 mAh g-1 after 2000 cycles for SIBs and 319 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles for PIBs). Furthermore, due to this exclusively confined P structure, the K+ storage mechanism with the end product of K4P3 has been identified by experimental and theoretical results.

Abstract
Red phosphorus (P) is considered to be the most suitable electrode for sodium-ion batteries due to its low cost, earth abundance and high theoretical capacity. Numerous studies have focused on improving the low conductivity and the extremely large volume change of red P during the cycling process. However, these strategies heavily decrease the P mass loading in the electrode. Herein, inspired by natural wood, we successfully develop an ultra-thick bulk red Phosphorus@Carbon-Wood (red P@C-Wood) electrode via the vaporization-condensation process. The sodium-ion batteries assembled with the fabricated red P@C-Wood electrode provide a high areal capacity of 18 mA h cm-2 (≈5 times those of other reported electrodes) and the P mass loading of up to 8.4 mg cm-2 (≥2 times those of other reported electrodes). The combination of red phosphorus and carbonized wood provides a new strategy for people to improve the areal energy density of lithium and sodium batteries.

Abstract
Considering the environmental problems caused by a large amount of cotton textile waste and its possible applications in flexible electrodes, it is very promising to reuse the cotton textile waste as an electrode material, reducing the cost of flexible electrodes and alleviating environmental problems. In this work, we present a rechargeable flexible Zn-air battery based on cotton textile waste, which employs Ni-metallized cotton textile waste (NMCTW) as a flexible substrate for Zn anodes and air cathodes. The transparent NiFe hydroxide thin film horizontally grown on the surface of the NMCTW substrate was synthesized in situ by the electrodeposition method, which exhibits excellent catalytic activity because of the high surface area of the two-dimensional (2D) thin film, large contact area between the thin film and substrate, and fast charge transport of the 2D thin-film structure. In view of the high catalytic performance of the NiFe hydroxide thin film, it was used as the catalytic material of the air cathode for the flexible Zn-air battery. The assembled Zn-air battery based on cotton textile waste demonstrated a good rate performance and outstanding charge and discharge cycling stability. The assembled Zn-air battery was applied to power the light-emitting diode, which exhibits exceptional flexibility and stable output power even under severe mechanical bending deformation, proving the feasibility for its application in flexible electronics.

Abstract
MXenes have great application prospect in energy storage fields due to a series of special physicochemical properties. However, the application of MXenes is greatly limited due to low intrinsic capacity. Here, through spray drying and vapor deposition methods, N-doped Ti3C2Tx and phosphorus composites (N-Ti3C2Tx/P) were prepared for the first time. The red phosphorus particles were absorbed to a walnut-like N-Ti3C2Tx matrix, facilitating the transport of Li+ and electrons. When used as anodes for lithium-ion batteries, the battery can cycle up to 1040 cycles with a high stable capacity of 801 mAh/g at 500 mA/g. Impressively, there is an obvious increase of capacity in the subsequent cycles at higher current density due to the increment of interlayer spacing of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets. XPS measurements confirm that the Ti-O-P bond was formed in the composites, granting the robust structure of the composites and leading to superior performances during cycling. The facile synthesis method of red phosphorus by vapor deposition will facilitate the development of other 2D materials combined with high-capacity red phosphorus for energy storage.

Abstract
Wearable electronics have received considerable attention in recent years. These devices have penetrated every aspect of our daily lives and stimulated interest in futuristic electronics. Thus, flexible batteries that can be bent or folded are desperately needed, and their electrochemical functions should be maintained stably under the deformation states, given the increasing demands for wearable electronics. Carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and/or their composites, as flexible materials exhibit excellent properties that make them suitable for use in flexible batteries. Herein, the most recent progress on flexible batteries using carbon nanomaterials is discussed from the viewpoint of materials fabrication, structure design, and property optimization. Based on the current progress, the existing advantages, challenges, and prospects are outlined and highlighted.

Abstract
Red phosphorus (RP) has attracted extensive attention as an anodic material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical specific capacity of 2596 mA h g- 1 and earth abundance. However, the facile and large-scale preparation of the red phosphorus nanomaterials via a solution synthesis remains a challenge. Herein, we develop a simple and facile solution method to prepare red phosphorus nanoparticles (RP NPs). PCl3 readily reacts with HSiCl3 in the presence of amines at room temperature to produce amorphous RP NPs with sizes about 100-200 nm in high yields. When used as an anode for rechargeable lithium ion battery, the RP NP electrode exhibits good electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 1380 mA h g- 1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g- 1, and Coulombic efficiencies reaching almost 100% for each cycle. The study shows that this solution synthesis is a facile and convenient approach for large-scale production of RP NP materials for use in high-performance Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Amorphous red phosphorus/pyrolyzed bacterial cellulose (P-PBC) free-standing films are prepared by thermal carbonization and a subsequent vaporization-condensation process. The distinctive bundle-like structure of the flexible pyrolyzed bacterial cellulose (PBC) matrix not only provides sufficient volume to accommodate amorphous red-phosphorus (P) but also restricts the pulverization of red-P during the alternate lithiation/delithiation process. When the mass ratio of raw materials, red-P to PBC, is 70 : 1, the free-standing P-PBC film anode exhibits high reversible capacity based on the mass of the P-PBC film (1039.7 mA h g−1 after 100 cycle at 0.1C, 1C = 2600 mA g−1) and good cycling stability at high current density (capacity retention of 82.84% after 1000 cycles at 2C), indicating its superior electrochemical performances. A novel freestanding anode was prepared by combining amorphous red-P with a pyrolyzed bacterial cellulose (PBC) matrix for the first time.![]()
