Abstract
In sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), TiO2or sodium titanates are discussed as cost-effective anode material. The use of ultrafine TiO2particles overcomes the effect of intrinsically low electronic and ionic conductivity that otherwise limits the electrochemical performance and thus its Na-ion storage capacity. Especially, TiO2nanoparticles integrated in a highly conductive, large surface-area, and stable graphene matrix can achieve an exceptional electrochemical rate performance, durability, and increase in capacity. We report the direct and scalable gas-phase synthesis of TiO2and graphene and their subsequent self-assembly to produce TiO2/graphene nanocomposites (TiO2/Gr). Transmission electron microscopy shows that the TiO2nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the graphene nanosheets. TiO2/Gr nanocomposites with graphene loadings of 20 and 30 wt% were tested as anode in SIBs. With the outstanding electronic conductivity enhancement and a synergistic Na-ion storage effect at the interface of TiO2nanoparticles and graphene, nanocomposites with 30 wt% graphene exhibited particularly good electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 281 mAh g-1at 0.1 C, compared to pristine TiO2nanoparticles (155 mAh g-1). Moreover, the composite showed excellent high-rate performance of 158 mAh g-1at 20 C and a reversible capacity of 154 mAh g-1after 500 cycles at 10 C. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the Na-ion storage is dominated by surface and TiO2/Gr interface processes rather than slow, diffusion-controlled intercalation, explaining its outstanding rate performance. The synthesis route of these high-performing nanocomposites provides a highly promising strategy for the scalable production of advanced nanomaterials for SIBs.

Abstract
Alginates are linear anionic polysaccharides, which are well-known for their biocompatible, nontoxic, and biodegradable nature. The polymer consists of alternating units of β-(1 → 4)-linked D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-(1 → 4)-linked L-guluronic acid (G) that have hydroxyl and carboxyl groups as the main functional groups. As a large number of free carboxyl and hydroxyl groups are present in the polymeric chain, the polymer is predominantly hydrophilic. The food and pharmaceutical industries have been the most extensive utilizers of alginates to produce gelling and thickening agents. However, by imparting hydrophobicity to alginates, the range of applications can be widened. Although there are reviews on alginate and its chemical modifications, reviews focusing on hydrophobically associated alginates have not been presented. The commonly used chemical modifications to incorporate hydrophobicity include esterification, Ugi reaction, reductive amination, and graft copolymerization. The hydrophobically modified alginates play an important role in delivery of hydrophobic drugs and pesticides as the modification increases the affinity toward hydrophobic components and helps in their sustained release. Due to their nontoxic and edible nature, they find use in the food industry as emulsion stabilizer to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and to improve creaming ability. Further, alginate-based materials such as membranes, aerogels, and films are hydrophobically modified to improve their functionality and applicability to water treatment and food packaging. This Review aims to highlight the important chemical modifications and methods that are done to impart hydrophobicity to alginate, and the applications of hydrophobically modified alginates in different sectors ranging from drug delivery to food packaging are discussed.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) can serve as a candidate anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with the merits of their low cost, abundance, and environment friendliness. However, its low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and sluggish sodium-ion diffusion greatly limit its further practical applications. Herein, we report a one-step prepotassiation strategy to modify commercial TiO2 by a spontaneous chemical reaction using potassium naphthalene (K-Nt). Prepotassiation effectively compensates for the irreversible Na loss and induces a homogeneous, dense, and robust artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on its surface. The well-distributed artificial SEI suppresses the excessive electrolyte decomposition, contributing to rapid interfacial kinetics and stable Na+ insertion/extraction. Therefore, such modified commercial TiO2 anodes demonstrate significantly improved ICE (72.4%) and outstanding rate performance (176.4 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1). This simple and efficient method for promoting ICEs and interfacial chemistry also demonstrates universality and practical value for other anodes in SIBs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) hold great promise owing to the naturally abundant sodium resource and high safety. The research focus of SIBs is usually directed toward electrode materials, while the binder as an important component is rarely investigated. Herein, a cross-linked sodium alginate (SA)/graphene oxide (GO) binder is judiciously designed to serve as a robust artificial interphase on the surface of both anode and cathode of SIBs. Benefiting from the cross-linking continuous network structure as well as the highly hydrophilic nature, the SA-GO binder possesses a large tensile strength of 197.7 Mpa and a high ionic conductivity of 0.136 mS cm-1 , superior to pure SA (93.8 Mpa, 0.025 mS cm-1 ). Moreover, the structural design of SA-GO binder exhibits a strong binding ability to guarantee structural integrity during cycling. To demonstrate its effectiveness, polyanion-type phosphates (e.g., Na3 (VO)2 (PO4 )2 F) and chalcogenides (e.g., MoS2 , VS2 ) are adopted as cathode and anode materials of SIBs, respectively. As compared to traditional binders (e.g., PVDF, SA), electrodes with the SA-GO binder exhibits significantly increased rate capability and cycling stability, such as Na3 (VO)2 (PO4 )2 F (40 C fast-charge, 84% capacity retention after 1000 cycles). This work highlights the role of novel aqueous-based binders in developing next-generation sodium-storage devices.

Abstract
The incompatibility of poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) with acidic ionic liquid electrolytes and the use of toxic and high-cost N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) solvents hinder the wide application of aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs). In this work, sodium alginate (Na-Alg) is developed as an aqueous binder for the fabrication of graphite positive electrodes in AIBs. The compatibility of various binders with the ionic liquid electrolyte is evaluated, and interaction between various binders and graphite particles before and after cycling is compared and discussed. The results demonstrate that the well compatibility of Na-Alg in ionic liquids and its reasonable distribution on the graphite surface facilitate fast charge transfer and ion diffusion, reduce electrode polarization, and thus contributing to significantly improved cycling stability and rate capability of AIBs. This work provides a new insight into the development of low-cost, eco-friendly, and high-performance binders for AIBs.

Abstract
The powerful and rapid development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in secondary batteries field makes lithium resources in short supply, leading to rising battery costs. Under the circumstances, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with low cost, inexhaustible sodium reserves, and analogous work principle to LIBs, have evolved as one of the most anticipated candidates for large-scale energy storage devices. Thereinto, the applicable electrode is a core element for the smooth development of SIBs. Among various anode materials, metal selenides (MSex ) with relatively high theoretical capacity and unique structures have aroused extensive interest. Regrettably, MSex suffers from large volume expansion and unwished side reactions, which result in poor electrochemistry performance. Thus, strategies such as carbon modification, structural design, voltage control as well as electrolyte and binder optimization are adopted to alleviate these issues. In this review, the synthesis methods and main reaction mechanisms of MSex are systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the major challenges of MSex and the corresponding available strategies are proposed. Furthermore, the recent research progress on layered and nonlayered MSex for application in SIBs is presented and discussed in detail. Finally, the future development focuses of MSex in the field of rechargeable ion batteries are highlighted.

Abstract
Changing the solvation sheath of hydrated Zn ions is an effective strategy to stabilize Zn anodes to obtain a practical aqueous Zn-ion battery. However, key points related to the rational design remain unclear including how the properties of the solvent molecules intrinsically regulate the solvated structure of the Zn ions. This study proposes the use of a stability constant (K), namely, the equilibrium constant of the complexation reaction, as a universal standard to make an accurate selection of ligands in the electrolyte to improve the anode stability. It is found that K greatly impacts the corrosion current density and nucleation overpotential. Following this, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid with a superhigh K effectively suppresses Zn corrosion and induces uniform Zn-ion deposition. As a result, the anode has an excellent stability of over 3000 h. This work presents a general principle to stabilize anodes by regulating the solvation chemistry, guiding the development of novel electrolytes for sustainable aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) are one of the promising options for large-scale electrical energy storage owing to their safety, affordability and environmental friendliness. During the past decade, there have been remarkable advancements in the AZBs technology, which are achieved through intensive efforts not only in the area of electrode materials but also in the fundamental understandings of non-electrode components such as electrolytes, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), current collectors, binders, and separators. In particular, the breakthroughs in the non-electrode components should not be underestimated in having enabled the AZBs to attain a higher energy and power density beyond that of the conventional AZBs, proving their critical role. In this article, the recent research progress is comprehensively reviewed with respect to non-electrode components in AZBs, covering the new-type of electrolytes that have been introduced, attempts for the tailoring of SEI, and the design efforts for multi-functional current collectors, binders and separators, along with the remaining challenges associated with these non-electrode components. Finally, perspectives are discussed toward future research directions in this field. This extensive overview on the non-electrode components is expected to guide and spur further development of high-performance AZBs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion battery (SIB) has attracted extensive research attention owing to its high theoretical capacity and low cost. Herein, we synthesize bio-waste-derived activated carbon (BAC) through a facile synthesis process followed by selenium loading (using melt-infusion method) to form BAC@Se composites. The synthesized BAC and its composite BAC@Se revealed excellent rate performance, great cycling stability, and good reversibility. The BAC revealed a maximum specific capacity of 257 mAh/g at 20 mA/g current density. The BAC@Se showed the maximum specific capacity of 701 mAh/g at 50 mA/g current density (equivalent to a specific energy of about 1051 WhKg-1/75 WKg-1) and good rate performance with 226 mAh/g specific capacity at a high current density of 2500 mA/g. Moreover, the composite revealed good cycling stability by retaining 348 mAh/g capacity at 500 mA/g after 500 cycles. The excellent electrochemical properties were attributed to the unique design of composites, which not only provided the physio-chemically trapped selenium but also ensure the fast kinetics of Na ions through interconnected 3-D channels and high restrain against the dissolution of polyselenides into an electrolyte. This work may shed light on recycling different bio-wastes into energy materials for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Before the viability of a cell formulation can be assessed for implementation in commercial sodium ion batteries, processes applied in cell production should be validated and optimized. This review summarizes the steps performed in constructing sodium ion (Na-ion) cells at research scale, highlighting parameters and techniques that are likely to impact measured cycling performance. Consistent process-structure-performance links have been established for typical lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells, which can guide hypotheses to test in Na-ion cells. Liquid electrolyte viscosity, sequence of mixing electrode slurries, rate of drying electrodes and cycling characteristics of formation were found critical to the reported capacity of laboratory cells. Based on the observed importance of processing to battery performance outcomes, the current focus on novel materials in Na-ion research should be balanced with deeper investigation into mechanistic changes of cell components during and after production, to better inform future designs of these promising batteries.

Enhanced Electrochemical Properties of Na0.67MnO2 Cathode for Na-Ion Batteries Prepared with Novel Tetrabutylammonium Alginate Binder. BATTERIES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
Both the binder and solid–electrolyte interface play an important role in improving the cycling stability of electrodes for Na-ion batteries. In this study, a novel tetrabutylammonium (TBA) alginate binder is used to prepare a Na0.67MnO2 electrode for sodium-ion batteries with improved electrochemical performance. The ageing of the electrodes is characterized. TBA alginate-based electrodes are compared to polyvinylidene fluoride- (PVDF) and Na alginate-based electrodes and show favorable electrochemical performance, with gravimetric capacity values of up to 164 mAh/g, which is 6% higher than measured for the electrode prepared with PVDF binder. TBA alginate-based electrodes also display good rate capability and improved cyclability. The solid–electrolyte interface of TBA alginate-based electrodes is similar to that of PVDF-based electrodes. As the only salt of alginic acid soluble in non-aqueous solvents, TBA alginate emerges as a good alternative to PVDF binder in battery applications where the water-based processing of electrode slurries is not feasible, such as the demonstrated case with Na0.67MnO2.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 292:118277. [PMID: 34610413 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we firstly used alginate to enhance an electrokinetic technology to remediate soil contaminated with divalent heavy metals (Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+). The mechanisms of alginate-associated migration of metal ions in electric field were confirmed. Alginate resulted in a high electrical current during electrokinetic process, and soil conductivity also increased after remediation. Obvious changes in both electroosmotic flow and soil pH were observed. Moreover, these factors were affected by increasing alginate dosage. The highest Cu (95.82%) and Zn (97.33%) removal efficiencies were obtained by introducing 1 wt% alginate. Alginate can desorb Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions from soil by forming unstable gels, which could be dissociated through electrolysis. However, Pb2+ ions did not easily migrate out of the contaminated soil. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations show Pb2+ ions could form a more stable coordination sphere in metal complexes than Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions. The metal removal efficiency was decreased by increasing alginate dosage at a high level. More alginate could provide more carboxyl ligands for divalent metal ions to stabilize gels, which were difficult to dissociate by electrolysis. In summary, the results indicate it is potential for introducing alginate into an electrokinetic system to remediate Cu- and Zn- contaminated soil.

Abstract
Nature produces materials using available molecular building blocks following a bottom-up approach. These materials are formed with great precision and flexibility in a controlled manner. This approach offers the inspiration for manufacturing new artificial materials and devices. Synthetic artificial materials can find many important applications ranging from personalized therapeutics to solutions for environmental problems. Among these materials, responsive synthetic materials are capable of changing their structure and/or properties in response to external stimuli, and hence are termed "smart" materials. Herein, this review focuses on alginate-based smart materials and their stimuli-responsive preparation, fragmentation, and applications in diverse fields from drug delivery and tissue engineering to water purification and environmental remediation. In the first part of this report, we review stimuli-induced preparation of alginate-based materials. Stimuli-triggered decomposition of alginate materials in a controlled fashion is documented in the second part, followed by the application of smart alginate materials in diverse fields. Because of their biocompatibility, easy accessibility, and simple techniques of material formation, alginates can provide solutions for several present and future problems of humankind. However, new research is needed for novel alginate-based materials with new functionalities and well-defined properties for targeted applications.

Abstract
A silicon suboxide-carbon (SiO x /C, 1 ≤ x ≤ 2) composite anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with enhanced performance is prepared using an aqueous multicomponent binder technology. Considering the adhesive force, electrolyte absorption, and stability, different binders including sodium alginate (SA), polyacrylamide gel (PAM), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and their composites are evaluated. It is indicated that compared to other anodes with single- or multicomponent binders, the SiO x /C composite anode with PAM/SA/PTFE663 (PSAP663) binders exhibits strong adhesion, moderate electrolyte absorption ability, and a specific capacity of 427 mA h g-1 charge-discharged at 0.5 A g-1 after 300 cycles. The improvement of electrochemical performance is attributed to the comprehensive effects of composite binders, including the adhesion of active substances, surface protection, solution adsorption, conductive path, and so on. These results show that the PSAP663 binder has promising potential for application, which not only gives alternative practical schemes of the green binders for the SiO x /C anodes but also provides ideas to develop a high-performance adhesive technology for LIBs.

Abstract
The sodium storage performance of a hard carbon (HC) anode in ether electrolytes exhibits a higher initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and better rate performance compared to conventional ester electrolytes. However, the mechanism behind faster Na storage kinetics for HC in ether electrolytes remains unclear. Herein, a unique solvated Na+ and Na+ co-intercalation mechanism in ether electrolytes is reported using designed monodispersed HC nanospheres. In addition, a thin solid electrolyte interphase film with a high inorganic proportion formed in an ether electrolyte is visualized by cryo transmission electron microscopy and depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which facilitates Na+ transportation, and results in a high ICE. Furthermore, the fast solvated Na+ diffusion kinetics in ether electrolytes are also revealed via molecular dynamics simulation. Owing to the contribution of the ether electrolytes, an excellent rate performance (214 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 with an ultrahigh plateau capacity of 120 mAh g-1 ) and a high ICE (84.93% at 1 A g-1 ) are observed in a half cell; in a full cell, an attractive specific capacity of 110.3 mAh g-1 is achieved after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1 .

Abstract
The increasing amount of electric vehicles on our streets as well as the need to store surplus energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar and tidal parks, has brought small and large scale batteries into the focus of academic and industrial research. While there has been huge progress in performance and cost reduction in the past years, batteries and their components still face several environmental issues including safety, toxicity, recycling and sustainability. In this review, we address these challenges by showcasing the potential of polysaccharide-based compounds and materials used in batteries. This particularly involves their use as electrode binders, separators and gel/solid polymer electrolytes. The review contains a historical section on the different battery technologies, considerations about safety on batteries and requirements of polysaccharide components to be used in different types of battery technologies. The last sections cover opportunities for polysaccharides as well as obstacles that prevent their wider use in battery industry.

Abstract
A simple and selective photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was constructed for Hg2+ detection based on zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) dye-sensitized CdS using alginate not only as a carrier but also as a binder. First, CdS as a photoactive material was in situ modified on the electrode surface using a rapid and simple electrodeposition to obtain an initial photocurrent signal. Second, ZnPc was loaded in the amphiphilic alginate micelle and then was coated onto the CdS film surface via alginate as the binder. The photocurrent was subsequently enhanced due to the favorable dye sensitization effect of ZnPc to CdS. Finally, the thymine-rich probe DNA was immobilized on the modified ITO surface via coupling reaction between the carbonyl groups of the amphiphilic polymer and the amino groups of the probe DNA. In the presence of Hg2+, the thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) structure was formed due to the specific bond of Hg2+ with thymine, resulting in the decrease of photocurrent due to the increase of steric hindrance on the modified electrode surface. The proposed PEC biosensor for Hg2+ detection possessed a wide linear range from 10 pM to 1.0 μM with a detection limit of 5.7 pM. This biosensor provides a promising platform for detecting other biomolecules of interest.

Evolution of Internal Stress in Heterogeneous Electrode Composite during the Drying Process. ENERGIES 2021.

Abstract
The mechanical behavior of electrode composite during the drying preparation has played a crucial role in the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Our work aimed at developing an integrated analysis method to study the component distribution, mechanical properties, and internal stress of composite coating in the process of electrode drying. The main influence factors of drying stress were thoroughly investigated. It was found that this present model could capture not only the heterogeneity effect of inactive ingredients but also the porosity-dependent viscoelasticity of electrode composite. Meanwhile, the calculated effective modulus and stress evolution upon drying time were in acceptable accord with the experimental data. Furthermore, the rapid solidification markedly increased the drying stress in electrodes and significantly impaired the tensile strength of electrode composite due to the highly gradient distributed constituents. However, the stress level at high drying temperature could be significantly reduced by an aqueous sodium alginate binder instead of poly(vinylidene fluoride). The obtained results will be a great help in efficiently manufacturing LIB electrodes with adequate mechanical integrity.

Abstract
Binders play an important role in electrode processing for energy storage systems. While conventional binders often require hazardous and costly organic solvents, there has been increasing development toward greener and less expensive binders, with a focus on those that can be processed in aqueous conditions. Due to their functional groups, many of these aqueous binders offer further beneficial properties, such as higher adhesion to withstand the large volume changes of several high-capacity electrode materials. In this review, we first discuss the roles of binders in the construction of electrodes, particularly for energy storage systems, summarize typical binder characterization techniques, and then highlight the recent advances on aqueous binder systems, aiming to provide a stepping stone for the development of polymer binders with better sustainability and improved functionalities.

Abstract
Capillary suspensions are ternary solid-liquid-liquid systems produced via the addition of a small amount of secondary fluid to the bulk fluid that contained the dispersed solid particles. The secondary fluid could exert strong capillary forces between the particles and dramatically change the rheological properties of the suspension. So far, research has focused on capillary suspensions that consist of additive-free fluids, whereas capillary suspensions with additives, particularly those of large molecular weight that are highly relevant for industrial purposes, have been relatively less studied. In this study, we performed a systematic analysis of the properties of capillary suspensions that consist of paraffin oil (bulk phase), water (secondary phase), and α-Al2O3 microparticles (particle phase), in which the aqueous secondary phase contained an important eco-friendly polymeric binder, sodium alginate (SA). It was determined that the yield stress of the suspension increased significantly with the increase in the SA content in the aqueous secondary phase, which was attributed to the synergistic effect of the capillary force and hydrogen bonding force that may be related to the increase in the number of capillary bridges. The amounts of SA used to induce a significant change in the yield stress in this study were very small (<0.02% of the total sample volume). The addition of Ca2+ ions to the SA-containing secondary phase further increased the yield stress with possible gelation of the SA chains-in the presence of excess Ca2+ ions, however, the yield stress decreased because of the microscopic phase separation that occurred in the aqueous secondary phase. The microstructures of the sintered porous materials that were produced by using capillary suspensions as precursors were qualitatively well correlated to the rheological behavior of the precursor suspensions, suggesting a new method for the subtle control of the microstructures of porous materials using the addition of minute amounts of polymeric additives.

Revisiting the Sodiation Mechanism of TiO2 via Operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
The sodiation mechanism of TiO2 anatase was thoroughly investigated via X-ray absorption spectroscopy under operando conditions. The data set was analysed via an innovative and smart approach based on chemometric tools that allows the unbiased and reliable extraction of the maximum amount of meaningful information. The resulting data analysis reveals that the electrochemical sodiation mechanism is mainly based on the reduction of Ti4+ to Ti3+, going along with the irreversible amorphisation of the pristine anatase structure. At least one semi-amorphous intermediate is formed during the first discharge, whose local structure resembles those obtained at the end of the charge.

Abstract
Recent studies on anatase TiO2 have demonstrated its capability of performing as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) even though, due to poor conductivity, realistic applications have not yet been foreseen. In order to try to address this issue, herein, we shall introduce a cost effective and facile route based on the co-precipitation method for the synthesis of Mo-doped anatase TiO2 nanoparticles with AlF3 surface coating. The electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the Mo-doped anatase TiO2 nanoparticles deliver an ∼40% enhanced reversible capacity compared to pristine TiO2 (139.8 vs. 100.7 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C after 50 cycles) due to an improved electronic/ionic conductivity. Furthermore, upon AlF3 coating, the overall system can deliver a much higher reversible capacity of 178.9 mA h g-1 (∼80% increase with respect to pristine TiO2) with good cycling stability and excellent rate capabilities of up to 10 C. The experimental results indicate that the AlF3 surface coating could indeed effectively reduce the solid electrolyte interfacial resistance, enhance the electrochemical reactivity at the surface/interface region, and lower the polarization during cycling. The improved performance achieved using a cost-effective fabrication approach makes the dually modified anatase TiO2 a promising anode material for high-performance SIBs.

Mechanical Integrity of Conductive Carbon-Black-Filled Aqueous Polymer Binder in Composite Electrode for Lithium-Ion Battery. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12071460.

Abstract
The mechanical stability of aqueous binder and conductive composites (BCC) is the basis of the long-term service of composite electrodes in advanced secondary batteries. To evaluate the stress evolution of BCC in composite electrodes during electrochemical operation, we established an electrochemical–mechanical model for multilayer spherical particles that consists of an active material and a solid-electrolyte-interface (SEI)-enclosed BCC. The lithium-diffusion-induced stress distribution was studied in detail by coupling the influence of SEI and the viscoelasticity of inorganic-filler-doped polymeric bonding material. It was found that tensile hoop stress plays a critical role in determining whether a composite electrode is damaged or not—and circumferential cracks may primarily initiate in BCC, rather than in other electrode components. Further, the peak tensile stress of BCC is at the interface with SEI and does not occur at full lithiation due to the relaxation nature of polymer composite. Moreover, mechanical damage would be greatly misled if neglecting the existence of SEI. Finally, the structure integrity of the binder and conductive system can be effectively improved by (1) increasing the carbon black content as much as possible in the context of meeting cell capacity requirements—it is greater than 27% and 50% for sodium alginate and the mixtures of carboxy styrene butadiene latex and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, respectively, for composite graphite anode; (2) reducing the elastic modulus of SEI to less than that of BCC; (3) decreasing the lithiation rate.

Abstract
Sustainable sources of energy have been identified as a possible way out of today's oil dependency and are being rapidly developed. In contrast, storage of energy to a large extent still relies on heavy metals in batteries. Especially when built from biomass-derived organics, organic batteries are promising alternatives and pave the way towards truly sustainable energy storage. First described in 2008, research on biomass-derived electrodes has been taken up by a multitude of researchers worldwide. Nowadays, in principle, electrodes in batteries could be composed of all kinds of carbonized and noncarbonized biomass: On one hand, all kinds of (waste) biomass may be carbonized and used in anodes of lithium- or sodium-ion batteries, cathodes in metal-sulfur or metal-oxygen batteries, or as conductive additives. On the other hand, a plethora of biomolecules, such as quinones, flavins, or carboxylates, contain redox-active groups that can be used as redox-active components in electrodes with very little chemical modification. Biomass-based binders can replace toxic halogenated commercial binders to enable a truly sustainable future of energy storage devices. Besides the electrodes, electrolytes and separators may also be synthesized from biomass. In this Review, recent research progress in this rapidly emerging field is summarized with a focus on potentially fully biowaste-derived batteries.

Abstract
Co9S8 is a potential anode material for its high sodium storage performance, easy accessibility, and thermostability. However, the volume expansion is a great hindrance to its development. Herein, a composite containing Co9S8 nanofibers and hollow Co9S8 nanospheres with N, S co-doped carbon layer (Co9S8@NSC) is successfully synthesized through a facile solvothermal process and a high-temperature carbonization. Ascribed to the carbon coating and the large specific surface area, severe volume stress can be effectively alleviated. In particular, with N and S heteroatoms introduced into the carbon layer, which is conducive to the Na+ adsorption and diffusion on the carbon surface, Co9S8@NSC can perform more capacitive sodium storage mechanism. As a result, the electrode can exhibit a favorable reversible capacity of 226 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 and a favorable capacity retention of 83.1% at 1 A g-1 after 800 cycles. The unique design provides an innovative thought for enhancing the sodium storage performance.

Abstract
To increase the energy storage density of lithium-ion batteries, silicon anodes have been explored due to their high capacity. One of the main challenges for silicon anodes are large volume variations during the lithiation processes. Recently, several high-performance schemes have been demonstrated with increased life cycles utilizing nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanowires, and thin films. However, a method that allows the large-scale production of silicon anodes remains to be demonstrated. Herein, we address this question by suggesting new scalable nanomaterial-based anodes. Si nanoparticles were grown on nanographite flakes by aerogel fabrication route from Si powder and nanographite mixture using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). This silicon-nanographite aerogel electrode has stable specific capacity even at high current rates and exhibit good cyclic stability. The specific capacity is 455 mAh g−1 for 200th cycles with a coulombic efficiency of 97% at a current density 100 mA g−1.

Abstract
To predict the cyclic stability of secondary battery electrodes, the mechanical behaviors of polymer binders and conductive composites (BCC) is of great significance. In terms of uniaxial tension, tensile stress relaxation, and bonding strength tests, the present study encompasses a systematic investigation of the mechanical properties of two typical aqueous binders with different contents of Super-S carbon black (SS) under a liquid electrolyte. Meanwhile, the microstructure of cured film and the surface morphology of the bonding interface are investigated in detail. When the weight ratio of SS increases from 0% to 50%, the cured BCC films manifest a higher ratio of tensile strength to modulus and a shorter characteristic relaxation time. Moreover, suitable loadings of SS can improve the tensile shear strength and remarkably reduce the percentage of interface failure of aqueous polymer-bonded Cu current collector. Nevertheless, an excess of carbon black amount cannot maintain its enhancing effect and can even impair the adhesive layer. Finally, a sodium alginate-based polymer composite holds much more superior mechanical properties than the mixture of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and styrene-butadiene rubber at the same content of carbon black. Noticeably, the two kinds of aqueous polymer doped by 50 wt % of SS exhibit the best adhesive properties.

Abstract
Anatase TiO2 used as the sodium-storage anode is coupled with a graphite cathode to construct dual-ion batteries. The batteries display wide voltage window (1.0-4.7 V), long cycling stability (98 mAh g-1 after 1400 cycles at 500 mA g-1), and considerable rate performance (102 mAh g-1 at 1500 mA g-1). Furthermore, the kinetic behaviors of Na+ and PF6- ions are investigated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique, and the potentiostatic intermittent titration technique. The corresponding apparent ion diffusion coefficient is calculated, and the results indicate that the transport of PF6- anions in the graphite cathode is swift.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising candidates applied to large-scale energy storage systems owing to abundant sodium resources and high economic efficiency. Layered manganese-based oxides as a prevailing cathode for sodium-ion batteries have been extensively studied, where doping or coating has been demonstrated to improve the electrochemical performance. However, the binder that tends to be the popular poly(vinylidene difluoride), is revealed to generate swellability upon cycling, leading to electrode material cracks and disconnection with current collectors. For the above issues, in this work, environmentally friendly sodium alginate is utilized as the aqueous binder in a conventional layered transition-metal oxide cathode P2-Na2/3MnO2 for SIBs. Through credible comparative experiments, sodium alginate is testified to play an essential role in suppressing cracks on the surface of materials, preventing surge in charge-transfer resistance and restraining detachment between electrode and current collector. Therefore, sodium alginate is proved to be an ideal binder to match with P2-Na2/3MnO2, where some issues existed before, as a promising cathode material with excellent performance and low cost. This study displays that improving battery performance by exploring suitable binder systems can equal or even exceed the performance improvement through modification of the material itself, and this perspective of enhancement should not be ignored.

Abstract
The sluggish kinetic in electrode materials is one of the critical challenges in achieving high-power sodium ion storage. We report a coaxial core-shell nanostructure composed of carbon nanotube (CNT) as the core and TiO2@MoO2@C as shells for a hierarchically nanoarchitectured anode for improved electrode kinetics. The 1D tubular nanostructure can effectively reduce ion diffusion path, increase electrical conductivity, accommodate the stress due to volume change upon cycling, and provide additional interfacial active sites for enhanced charge storage and transport properties. Significantly, a synergistic effect between TiO2 and MoO2 nanostructures is investigated through ex situ solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. The electrode exhibits a good rate capability (150 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1) and superior cycling stability with a reversibly capacity of 175 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 for over 8000 cycles.

Abstract
Based on multielectron conversion reactions, layered transition metal dichalcogenides are considered promising electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries, but suffer from poor cycling performance and rate capability due to their low intrinsic conductivity and severe volume variations. Here, interlayer-expanded MoSe2/phosphorus-doped carbon hybrid nanospheres coated by anatase TiO2 (denoted as MoSe2/P-C@TiO2) are prepared by a facile hydrolysis reaction, in which TiO2 coating polypyrrole-phosphomolybdic acid is utilized as a novel precursor followed by a selenization process. Benefiting from synergistic effects of MoSe2, phosphorus-doped carbon, and TiO2, the hybrid nanospheres manifest unprecedented cycling stability and ultrafast pseudocapacitive sodium storage capability. The MoSe2/P-C@TiO2 delivers decent reversible capacities of 214 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 for 8000 cycles, 154 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 for 10000 cycles, and an exceptional rate capability up to 20.0 A g-1 with a capacity of ≈175 mAh g-1 in a voltage range of 0.5-3.0 V. Coupled with a Na3V2(PO4)3@C cathode, a full cell successfully confirms a reversible capacity of 242.2 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 for 100 cycles with a coulombic efficiency over 99%.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of electrode materials, electrolytes, and separators of energy-storage devices to address the fundamental needs of emerging technologies such as electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. However, binders, as an important component of energy-storage devices, are yet to receive similar attention. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has been the dominant binder in the battery industry for decades despite several well-recognized drawbacks, i.e., limited binding strength due to the lack of chemical bonds with electroactive materials, insufficient mechanical properties, and low electronic and lithium-ion conductivities. The limited binding function cannot meet inherent demands of emerging electrode materials with high capacities such as silicon anodes and sulfur cathodes. To address these concerns, in this review we divide the binding between active materials and binders into two major mechanisms: mechanical interlocking and interfacial binding forces. We review existing and emerging binders, binding technology used in energy-storage devices (including lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors), and state-of-the-art mechanical characterization and computational methods for binder research. Finally, we propose prospective next-generation binders for energy-storage devices from the molecular level to the macro level. Functional binders will play crucial roles in future high-performance energy-storage devices.

Abstract
In the challenging scenario of anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, TiO2 nanotubes could represent a winning choice in terms of cost, scalability of the preparation procedure, and long-term stability upon reversible operation in electrochemical cells. In this work, a detailed physicochemical, computational, and electrochemical characterization is carried out on TiO2 nanotubes synthesized by varying growth time and heat treatment, viz. the two most significant experimental parameters during preparation. A chemometric approach is proposed to obtain a concrete and solid multivariate analysis of sodium battery electrode materials. Such a statistical approach, combined with prolonged galvanostatic cycling and density functional theory analysis, allows identifying anatase at high growth time as the TiO2 polymorph of choice as an anode material, thus creating a benchmark for sodium-ion batteries, which currently took the center stage of the research in the field of energy storage systems from renewables.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped TiO2-C composite nanofibers (TiO2/N-C NFs) were manufactured by a convenient and green electrospinning technique in which urea acted as both the nitrogen source and a pore-forming agent. The TiO2/N-C NFs exhibit a large specific surface area (213.04 m2 g-1) and a suitable nitrogen content (5.37 wt%). The large specific surface area can increase the contribution of the extrinsic pseudocapacitance, which greatly enhances the rate capability. Further, the diffusion coefficient of sodium ions (D Na+) could be greatly improved by the incorporation of nitrogen atoms. Thus, the TiO2/N-C NFs display excellent electrochemical properties in Na-ion batteries. A TiO2/N-C NF anode delivers a high reversible discharge capacity of 265.8 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and an outstanding long cycling performance even at a high current density (118.1 mAh g-1) with almost no capacity decay at 5 A g-1 over 2000 cycles. Therefore, this work sheds light on the application of TiO2-based materials in sodium-ion batteries.
