Abstract
Owing to high theoretical capacity, low cost and abundant availability, manganese oxides are widely viewed as promising anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nonetheless, their practical application is significantly hindered by poor electrical conductivity, sluggish reaction kinetics and substantial volume change. In this work, an ingenious polypyrrole encapsulation followed by pyrolysis strategy is proposed to produce N-doped carbon encapsulated Mn2O3/MnO heterojunction (Mn2O3/MnO@NC) by using mechanically ground Mn3O4/C3N4 mixture as the precursor. The results show that the selection of precursor plays a pivotal role in the successful preparation of Mn2O3/MnO@NC hybrid. It is revealed that the uniform encapsulation by N-doped carbon significantly enhances the conductivity and structural stability of the final product. Concurrently, the Mn2O3/MnO heterojunction within the resultant hybrid exhibits a unique quantum-dot size, which effectively shortens ion transport pathways and exposes the active sites for lithium storage. Additionally, experimental observations and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the built-in electric fields generated at the interfaces of Mn2O3/MnO heterojunction accelerate the charge transfer and ion diffusion, thereby enhancing the electrochemical reaction kinetics. As a result, the Mn2O3/MnO@NC hybrid displays much enhanced lithium storage performance. Evidently, our work offers a good guidance for the design and synthesis of advanced transition metal oxide/carbon anodes for LIBs.

Abstract
Photo-rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (PRZIBs) have attracted much attention in the field of energy storage due to their high safety and dexterity compared with currently integrated lithium-ion batteries and solar cells. However, challenges remain toward their practical applications, originating from the unsatisfactory structural design of photocathodes, which results in low photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE). Herein, a flexible MoS2/SnO2-based photocathode is developed via constructing a sunflower-shaped light-trapping nanostructure with 3D hierarchical and self-supporting properties, enabled by the hierarchical embellishment of MoS2 nanosheets and SnO2 quantum dots on carbon cloth (MoS2/SnO2 QDs@CC). This structural design provides a favorable pathway for the effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and the efficient storage of Zn2+ on photocathodes. Consequently, the PRZIB assembled with MoS2/SnO2 QDs@CC delivers a desirable capacity of 366 mAh g-1 under a light intensity of 100 mW cm-2, and achieves an ultra-high PCE of 2.7% at a current density of 0.125 mA cm-2. In practice, an integrated battery system consisting of four series-connected quasi-solid-state PRZIBs is successfully applied as a wearable wristband of smartwatches, which opens a new door for the application of PRZIBs in next-generation flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) hold great potential for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) on account of the high theoretical capacity. Unfortunately, the unfavorable volume expansion and low intrinsic electronic conductivity of TMOs lead to irreversible structural degradation, disordered particle agglomeration, and sluggish electrochemical reaction kinetics, which result in perishing rate capability and long-term stability. This work reports an Fe2O3/MoO3@NG heterostructure composite for LIBs through the uniform growth of Fe2O3/MoO3 heterostructure quantum dots (HQDs) on the N-doped rGO (NG). Due to the synergistic effects of the "couple tree"-type heterostructures constructed by Fe2O3 and MoO3 with NG, Fe2O3/MoO3@NG delivers a prominent rate performance (322 mA h g-1 at 20 A g-1, 5.0 times higher than that of Fe2O3@NG) and long-term cycle stability (433.5 mA h g-1 after 1700 cycles at 10 A g-1). Theoretical calculations elucidate that the strong covalent Fe-O-Mo, Mo-N, and Fe-N bonds weaken the diffusion energy barrier and promote the Li+-ion reaction to Fe2O3/MoO3@NG, thereby facilitating the structural stability, pseudocapacitance contribution, and electrochemical reaction kinetics. This work may provide a feasible strategy to promote the practical application of TMO-based LIBs.

Abstract
Li-ion batteries with conversion type anode are attractive choice, for electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, because of their high theoretical capacity and cycle stability. On the contrary, enormous volume change during lithiation/delithiation and irreversible conversion reaction limits use of such anodes. To overcome these challenges, incorporating nano-sized SnOxon flexible carbonaceous matrix is an efficient approach. A facile and scalable fabrication of SnO nanodisc decorated on SnO2quantum dots embedded carbon (SnOx@C) is reported in the present study. Detailed structural and morphological investigation confirms the successful synthesis of SnOx@C composite with 72.3 wt% SnOxloading. The CV profiles of the nanocomposite reveal a partial reversibility of conversion reaction for the active materials SnOx. Such partial reversible conversion enhances the overall capacity of the nanocomposite. It delivers a very high discharge capacity of 993 mAh g-1at current density of 0.05 A g-1after 200 cycles; which is 2.6 times higher than that of commercial graphitic anode (372 mAh g-1) and very close to the calculated capacity of the SnOx@C composite. This unique nanocomposite remarkably improves Li storage performance in terms of reversible capacity, rate capability and cycling performance. It is established that such engineered anode can efficiently reduce the electrode pulverization and in turn make conversion reaction of tin partially reversible.

Abstract
Batteries capable of quick charging as fast as fossil fuel vehicles are becoming a vital issue in the electric vehicle market. However, conversion-type materials promising as a next-generation anode have many problems to satisfy fast charging and long-term cycles due to their low conductivity and large irreversibility despite a high theoretical capacity. Here, we report effective strategies for a SnO2-based anode to enable rapid-charging, long-cycle, and high reversible capacity. The quantum size of SnO2 nanoparticles uniformly embedded within a 3D conductive carbon matrix as a prerequisite for high reversible capacity increases the interdiffusion layer and facilitates a highly reversible conversion reaction between Li2O/Sn and SnO2. In particular, the Sn-C chemical bond achieves ion-site control and direct electron transfer, enabling boost charging. Further, the robust and porous structure of the binder-free three-dimensional electrode buffers the massive volume expansion during Li insertion/desertion and allows for multidimensional rapid-ion diffusion. As a result, our quantum SnO2 anode delivers a high reversible capacity of about 753 mAh g-1 with a 468% capacity increase after 4000 cycles at 10 C. It also presents a gradually increasing capacity up to 548 mAh g-1 even at 20 C and superior cyclability over 20 000 cycles in capacity stabilization. This study will contribute to designing aerofilm-based conversion-type electrodes for fast charging devices.

Abstract
Benefiting from the advantages of cost-effectiveness and sustainability, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are recognized as a next-generation energy technology with great development potential. Herein, niobium oxide hydrate (H3ONb3O8) synthesized by a facile and inexpensive solvothermal method is proposed as the anode of LIBs. It is a layered two-dimensional material composed of negatively charged two-dimensional lamellae and positively charged interlayer hydronium ions. The former consist of NbO6 octahedral units connected by bridging oxygen. Because of the mutual effect of hydronium ions and niobium oxide quantum dots, niobium oxide hydrate exhibits excellent electrochemical activity when used as an anode material. This compound is first applied to lithium-ion batteries, obtaining a high specific capacity (1232 mAh g-1) at 100 mA g-1 and maintaining an outstanding performance after 200 cycles. Therefore, this work not only proposes a simple preparation method of niobium oxide hydrate but also expands the variety of high-performance anode materials.

Abstract
The spontaneous aggregation and poor electronic conductivity are widely recognized as the main challenges for practically applied nano-sized tin dioxide-based anode candidates in lithium-ion batteries. This work describes a hierarchical graphite and graphene oxide (GO) framework stabilized tin dioxide quantum dot composite (SnO2@C/GO), which is synthesized by a solid-state ball-milling treatment and a water-phase self-assembly process. Characterization results demonstrate the engineered inside nanostructured graphite and outside GO layers from the SnO2@C/GO composite jointly contribute to a good immobilization effect for the SnO2 quantum dots. The hierarchical carbonaceous matrix supported SnO2 quantum dots could maintain good structure stability over a long cycling life under high current densities. As an anodic electrochemically active material for lithium-ion batteries, the SnO2@C/GO composite shows a high reversible capacity of 1156 mAh·g-1 at the current density of 1000 mA·g-1 for 350 continual cycles as well as good rate performance. The large pseudocapacitive behavior in this electrode is favorable for promoting the lithium-ion storage capability under higher current densities. The whole synthetic route is simple and effective, which probably has good potential for further development to massively fabricate high-performance electrode active materials for energy storage.

Abstract
Developing emerging materials for high energy-density lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is of great significance to suppress the shuttle effect of polysulfides and to accommodate the volumetric change of sulfur. Here, a novel porous microcapsule system containing a carbon nanotubes/tin dioxide quantum dots/S (CNTs/QDs/S) composite core and a porous shell prepared through a liquid-driven coaxial microfluidic method as Li-S battery cathode is developed. The encapsulated CNTs in the microcapsules provide pathways for electron transport; SnO2 QDs on CNTs immobilize the polysulfides by strong adsorption, which is verified by using density functional theory calculations on binding energies. The porous shell of the microcapsule is beneficial for ion diffusion and electrolyte penetration. The void inside the microcapsule accommodates the volumetric change of sulfur. The Li-S battery based on the porous CNTs/QDs/S microcapsules displays a high capacity of 1025 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 C. When the sulfur loading is 2.03 mg cm-2 , the battery shows a stable cycling life of 700 cycles, a Coulombic efficiency exceeding 99.9%, a recoverable rate-performance during repeated tests, and a good temperature tolerance at both -5 and 45 °C, which indicates a potential for applications at different conditions.

Abstract
With the rapid propagation of flexible electronic devices, flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) are emerging as the most promising energy supplier among all of the energy storage devices owing to their high energy and power densities with good cycling stability. As a key component of FLIBs, to date, researchers have tried to develop newly designed high-performance electrochemically and mechanically stable pliable electrodes. To synthesize better quality flexible electrodes, based on high conductivity and mechanical strength of carbonaceous materials and metals, several research studies have been conducted. Despite both materials-based electrodes demonstrating excellent electrochemical and mechanical performances in the laboratory experimental process, they cannot meet the expected demands of stable flexible electrodes with high energy density. After all, various significant issues associated with them need to be overcome, for instance, poor electrochemical performance, the rapid decay of the electrode architecture during deformation, and complicated as well as costly production processes thus limiting their expansive applications. Herein, the recent progression in the exploration of carbonaceous materials and metals based flexible electrode materials are summarized and discussed, with special focus on determining their relative electrochemical performance and structural stability based on recent advancement. Major factors for the future advancement of FLIBs in this field are also discussed.

A synergistic promotion strategy remarkably accelerated electrochemiluminescence of SnO 2 QDs for MicroRNA detection using 3D DNA walker amplification. Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 173:112820. [PMID: 33227674 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Developing low-cost and efficient methods to enhance the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity of luminophores is highly desirable and challenging. Herein, we develop a synergistic promotion strategy based on three types of co-reaction accelerators to achieve an efficient SnO2 quantum dots (SnO2 QDs)-based ternary ECL system. Specifically, the MnO2 nanoflowers (MnO2 NFs), Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and hemin/G-quadruplex were rationally selected as co-reaction accelerators. Owing to the synergistic effect, the deft integration of three types of co-reaction accelerators enabled better structural stability, more exposed catalytic active sites, and faster charge transfer, thus more effectively facilitating the reduction of co-reactant (S2O82-) compared with that of the single co-reaction accelerator. To demonstrate the practical utility of this principle, an "on-off-super on" ECL biosensor was constructed in combination with a 3D DNA walker, which showed a superior linear range (10 aM-100 pM) and a low detection limit (2.9 aM) for the highly-sensitive miRNA-21 detection. In general, this work firstly reported that three types of co-reaction accelerators were deftly integrated to remarkably amplify the ECL emission of SnO2 QDs, and provided brand-new perspectives for research on the ingenious design of the structure and component of highly efficient co-reaction accelerators.
