Abstract
Low-cost sodium-ion batteries have demonstrated great prospects in energy storage, among which layered transition metal oxides hold great potential as a cathode material. However, the notorious phase transition in layered cathode materials has greatly hampered their cycle life due to large volume changes upon desodiation/sodiation. In this study, by adopting an O3-type NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 (NFM) with controlled synthesis temperatures, we have revealed that the grain size is closely related to its phase transition behaviors. The layered material with a smaller grain size and more distorted lattice tends to experience a shorter plateau of the O3-P3-O3 phase transitions during the charge/discharge process. Despite having a lower nominal discharge capacity without the phase transition plateau, its cycling stability increases from 77.4% to 96.2% after 100 cycles with greatly reduced intragranular cracks. The smaller grain size and lattice distortion act as a barrier that prevents the smooth layer from gliding upon sodium intercalation and deintercalation. This study focuses on the influence of grain size on battery cycle stability and provides a basis for future analysis of the structural instability of layered materials.

Tuning interfacial microstructure of alginate-based amphiphile by dynamic bonding for stabilizing Pickering emulsion. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 310:120720.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based soft colloidal particles mediated by the dynamic bonding-engineered interfacial self-assembly can regulate the properties of oil-water interfacial films, availing the stability of emulsions under a wide pH range. The amphiphilic phenylboronic alginate soft colloidal particles (Alg-PBA) were designed to stabilize pH-responsive Pickering emulsions (PEs). Combining stability analysis with quartz crystal microbalance and dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), the microstructure and viscoelasticity of Alg-PBA at the oil-water interface were determined. The results showed that PEs stabilized by Alg-PBA due to a thicker and stronger viscoelastic interface film induced by BO bonds and hydrogen bonds. The structure-function relationship of the Alg-PBA emulsifier driven by dynamic bonds was further elaborated at multiple scales by laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Meanwhile, the microstructure of aerogels templated by emulsion could be tuned by adjusting dynamic bonds, which provides a new idea for polysaccharide soft material engineering.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Major oil spills highlight the need for environmentally responsible and cost-effective recovery technologies. However, challenges remain for heavy oil spill recovery because of its high viscosity and low fluidity. To achieve this goal, an ecofriendly bio-based aerogel with efficient photothermal conversion ability was developed as a novel absorbent to achieve the fast removal of heavy oil spill by reducing the oil viscosity. EXPERIMENTS From the renewable and abundant raw material sodium alginate (SA), hydrophobic and antibacterial SA/graphene oxide/ZIF-8 aerogel (SAGZM) was successfully fabricated via freezing-drying and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. A series of characterization and tests, including aerogel structure, selective wettability, photothermal conversion ability, crude oil removal capability, and antibacterial ability, have been investigated in detail. SAGZM aerogels have rich pore structure, high porosity, excellent mechanical properties, and better photothermal conversion efficiency. FINDINGS Under sunlight illumination, the recovery ability of SAGZM for heavy crude oil was investigated through infrared thermal imaging, oil permeability behavior analysis, and the continuous absorption for crude oil. In addition, these results are well supported by the theoretical liquid absorption coefficient. This study indicates that SAGZM is highly efficient in in situ regulating oil viscosity through its remarkably photothermal conversion capability. Importantly, SAGZM possesses an excellent antibacterial ability that is often neglected in the design of environmentally friendly materials in extending its service life. The findings of this work not only provide an eco-friendly bio-based aerogel material but also demonstrate that the photo-responsive SAGZM is efficient in heavy crude oil absorption. The proposed solar-heated SA-based aerogel provides a sustainable approach and material to solve the recovery problem of viscous crude oil spills.

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.

Abstract
Attempts to utilize lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale electrochemical energy storage systems have achieved initial success, and solid-state LIBs using metallic lithium as the anode have also been well developed. However, the sharply increased demands/costs and the limited reserves of the two most important metal elements (Li & Co) for LIBs have raised concerns about future development. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) equipped with advanced cobalt-free cathodes show great potential in solving both "lithium panic" and "cobalt panic", and have made remarkable progress in recent years. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances of high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials for advanced SIBs, systematically analyze the conflicts of structural/electrochemical stability with intrinsic insufficiencies of cobalt-free cathode materials, and extensively discuss the strategies of constructing stable cobalt-free cathode materials by making full use of non-cobalt transition-metal elements and suitable crystal structures, all of which aim to provide insights into the key factors (e.g., phase transformation, particle cracks, crystal defects, lattice distortion, lattice oxygen oxidation, morphology, transition-metal migration/dissolution, and the synergistic effects of composite structures) that can determine the stability of cobalt-free cathode materials, provide guidelines for future research, and stimulate more interest on constructing high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials.

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
The continuous growth of the solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) and material crushing are the fundamental issues that hinder the application of Ge anodes in lithium-ion batteries. Solving Ge deformation crushing during discharge/charge cycles is challenging using conventional carbon coating modification methods. Due to the chemical stability and high melting point of carbon (3500 °C), Ge/carbon hybridization at the atomic level is challenging. By selecting a suitable carbon source and introducing an active medium, we have achieved the Ge/carbon doping at the atom-level, and this Ge/carbon anode shows excellent electrochemical performance. The reversible capacity is maintained at 1127 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles (2 A g-1 (2-71 cycles), 4 A g-1 (72-1000 cycles)) with a retention of 84 % compared to the second cycle. The thickness of the SEI is only 17.4 nm after 1000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance and stable SEI fully reflect the application potential of this material.

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.

Abstract
A binder is an important component in lithium-ion batteries and plays a significant role in maintaining the properties of active substances. Most studies in the field of binders have only focussed on physical properties such as bonding performance. Here, a polyacrylic acid-modified binder was designed and adapted to Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2, which enhanced the electrochemical stability of Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2 from 30.2 to 66.6% (300 cycles at 1 C). We for the first time discovered that this was caused by a chemical reaction between polyacrylic acid and the residual lithium on the surface during the cycling, which formed a lithium propionic acid coating layer and maintained the stability of the layered structure.

Abstract
Bio-based aerogels serve as potential materials in separation of oil/water mixtures. Nevertheless, there remain some key challenges, including expensive/toxic organic cross-linkers, unpromising reusability, and poor performance in emulsion separation. Hereby, a novel, robust, and superhydrophobic sodium alginate/graphene oxide/silicon oxide aerogel (SA/GO/SiO2-M) was fabricated by simple calcium ion cross-linking self-assembly, freeze-drying, and chemical vapor deposition methods based on the renewable and abundant raw materials. The as-prepared SA-based aerogel possesses high absorbency for varieties of organic solvents and oils. Importantly, it shows high efficiency in the separation of surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions. SA/GO/SiO2-M aerogels display excellent reusability in both absorption and separation because of their good mechanical properties in the air and oil phase, and the mechanism in emulsion separation is discussed. This study shows that SA/GO/SiO2-M aerogels are a promising material in treating oil contaminants from different fields.
