Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) emerge as promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), heralding a new era of energy storage solutions. Despite their potential, the mechanisms underlying their performance enhancement and susceptibility to failure in ether-based electrolytes remain elusive. This study delves into these aspects, employing CoS2 electrodes as a case in point to elucidate the phenomena. The investigation reveals that CoS2 undergoes a unique irreversible and progressive solid-liquid-solid phase transition from its native state to sodium polysulfides (NaPSs), and ultimately to a Cu1.8S/Co composite, accompanied by a gradual morphological transformation from microspheres to a stable 3D porous architecture. This reconstructed 3D porous structure is pivotal for its exceptional Na+ diffusion kinetics and resilience to cycling-induced stress, being the main reason for ultrastable cycling and ultrahigh rate capability. Nonetheless, the CoS2 electrode suffers from an inevitable cycle life termination due to the microshort-circuit induced by Na metal corrosion and separator degradation. Through a comparative analysis of various TMCs, a predictive framework linking electrode longevity is established to electrode potential and Gibbs free energy. Finally, the cell failure issue is significantly mitigated at a material level (graphene encapsulation) and cell level (polypropylene membrane incorporation) by alleviating the NaPSs shuttling and microshort-circuit.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen production is a prevalent method for hydrogen synthesis. However, high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers and high activation energy barrier of H remain persistent challenge. Here, the two-step hydrothermal method is utilized to prepare dual S-defect mediated catalyst molybdenum sulfide/zinc indium sulfide (MSv/ZISv), which has high hydrogen production rate of 8.83 mmol g-1h-1 under simulated sunlight. The achieved rate is 21.91 times higher than pure ZnIn2S4 substrate. Defects in ZIS within MSv/ZISv modify the primitive electronic structure by creating defect state that retaining good reducing power, leading to the rapid separation of electron-hole pairs and the generation of additional photogenerated carriers. The internal electric field further enhances the migration toward to cocatalyst. Simultaneously, the defects introduced on the MoS2 cause electron rearrangement, leading to electron clustering on both S vacancies and edge S. Thereby MSv/ZISv exhibits the lowest activation energy barrier and |ΔGH*|. This work explores the division of synergies between different types of S defects, providing new insights into the coupling of defect engineering.

Abstract
The development of sodium-ion battery (SIB) anodes is still hindered by their rapid capacity decay and poor rate capabilities. Although there have been some new materials that can be used to fabricate stable anodes, SIBs are still far from wide applications. Strategies like nanostructure construction and material modification have been used to prepare more robust SIB anodes. Among all the design strategies, the hollow structure design is a promising method in the development of advanced anode materials. In the past decade, research efforts have been devoted to modifying the synthetic route, the type of templates, and the interior structure of hollow structures with high capacity and stability. A brief introduction is made to the main material systems and classifications of hollow structural materials first. Then different morphologies of hollow structural materials for SIB anodes from the latest reports are discussed, including nanoboxes, nanospheres, yolk shells, nanotubes, and other more complex shapes. The most used templates for the synthesis of hollow structrual materials are covered and the perspectives are highlighted at the end. This review offers a comprehensive discussion of the synthesis of hollow structural materials for SIB anodes, which could be potentially of use to research areas involving hollow materials design for batteries.

Abstract
Transition-metal sulfides have been regarded as perspective anode candidates for high-energy Na-ion batteries. Their application, however, is precluded severely by either low charge storage or huge volumetric change along with sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, an effective synergetic Sn incorporation-Zn substitution strategy is proposed based on copper-based sulfides. First, Na-ion storage capability of copper sulfide is significantly improved via incorporating an alloy-based Sn element. However, this process is accompanied by sacrifice of structural stability due to the high Na-ion uptake. Subsequently, to maintain the high Na-ion storage capacity, and concurrently improve cycling and rate capabilities, a Zn substitution strategy (taking partial Sn sites) is carried out, which could significantly promote Na-ion diffusion/reaction kinetics and relieve mechanical strain-stress within the crystal framework. The synergetic Sn incorporation and Zn substitution endow copper-based sulfides with high specific capacity (≈560 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 ), ultrastable cyclability (80 k cycles with ≈100% capacity retention), superior rate capability up to 200 A g-1 , and ultrafast charging feature (≈4 s per charging with ≈190 mAh g-1 input). This work provides in-depth insights for developing superior anode materials via synergetic multi-cation incorporation/substitution, aiming at solving their intrinsic issues of either low specific capacity or poor cyclability.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides (TMSs) have drawn promising attention due to their low cost and high theoretical capacity for sodium storage. However, the critical issues of TMSs with huge volume changes and lower ionic/electronic conductivity are the major challenges for their practical application in sodium-ion batteries. Herein, we constructed cobalt-doped ZnS encapsulated in an N-doped carbon shell (denoted as Co-ZnS@NC), which effectively alleviates the volume expansion and improves sodium storage performance. The mechanism analysis and ion diffusion kinetics analysis (GITT, EIS, and CV) prove the acceleration of Na+ diffusion by the built-in electric field and buffer carbon layer in the Co-ZnS@NC, optimizing the cycle life and rate capability. The as-prepared Co-ZnS@NC has a high reversible capacity of 456.8 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 and superior rate capability (368.8 mA h g-1 at 20.0 A g-1), with Na metal as the counter electrode. Moreover, the assembled full cell shows a high energy density of 214.4 W h kg-1. This work provides insight on heteroatom doping for optimizing the rate capability of TMS anodes.

Abstract
Heterostructure engineering combined with carbonaceous materials shows great promise toward promoting sluggish kinetics, improving electronic conductivity, and mitigating the huge expansion of transition metal sulfide electrodes for high-performance sodium storage. Herein, the iron sulfide-based heterostructures in situ hybridized with nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (Fe7S8/FeS2/NCNT) have been prepared through a successive pyrolysis and sulfidation approach. The Fe7S8/FeS2/NCNT heterostructure delivered a high reversible capacity of 403.2 mAh g-1 up to 100 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 and superior rate capability (273.4 mAh g-1 at 20.0 A g-1) in ester-based electrolyte. Meanwhile, the electrodes also demonstrated long-term cycling stability (466.7 mAh g-1 after 1,000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1) and outstanding rate capability (536.5 mAh g-1 at 20.0 A g-1) in ether-based electrolyte. This outstanding performance could be mainly attributed to the fast sodium-ion diffusion kinetics, high capacitive contribution, and convenient interfacial dynamics in ether-based electrolyte.

Abstract
Molybdenum trioxide has served as a promising cathode material of rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs), because of its rich valence states and high theoretical capacity; yet, it still suffers from sluggish (de)intercalation kinetics and inreversible structure change for highly polarized Mg2+ in the interlayer and intralayer of structure. Herein, F- substitutional and H+ interstitial doping is proposed for α-MoO3 materials (denoted HMoOF) by the intralayer/interlayer engineering strategy to boost the performance of RMBs. F- substitutional doping generates molybdenum vacancies along the Mo-O-□ or Mo-F-□ configurations (where □ represents the cationic vacancy) for unlocking the inactive basal plane of the layered crystal structure, and it further accelerates Mg2+ diffusion along the b-axis. Interstitial-doped H+ can expand interlayer spacing for reducing Mg2+ energy barrier along the ac plane and serve as a "pillar" to stabilize the interlayer structure. Moreover, anion and cation dual doping trigger shallow impurity levels (acceptors levels and donor levels), which helps to easily acquire the electrons from the valence band and donate the electrons to the conduction band. Consequently, the HMoOF electrode exhibits a high reversible capacity (241 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), an excellent rate capability (137.4 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1), and a long cycling stability (capacity retention of 98% after 800 cycles at 1 A g-1) in RMBs. This work affords meaningful insights in layered materials for developing high-kinetics and long-life RMBs.

Abstract
Transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) with tunable direct bandgaps and interlayer spacing are attractive for energy-related applications. Semiconducting zinc chalcogenides, especially their selenides (ZnSe) and tellurides (ZnTe), with enhanced conductivity, high theoretical capacity, low operation voltage and abundance, have appeared on the horizon and receive increasing interest in terms of electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Despite the existing typical obstruction owing to the large volume change, relatively low electrical conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics into the bulk phase, several effective strategies such as compositing, doping, nanostructuring, and electrode/cell design have exhibited promising applications. We herein provide a timely and systematic overview of recent research and significant advances regarding ZnSe, ZnTe and their hybrids/composites, covering synthesis to electrode design and to applications, especially in advanced Li/Na/K-ion batteries, as well as the reaction mechanisms thereof. It is hoped that the overview will shed new light on the development of ZnSe and ZnTe for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Constructing hierarchical micro/nanostructures as anodes for sodium ion batteries is an important approach for exploiting efficient energy storage devices. Herein, sandwich structure hierarchical nanofibers composed of hollow carbon fibers as the substrate, and MoS2 as the interlayer with Co and/or ZnS nanoparticles anchoring in carbon skeletons as the outer shell (carbon nanofiber/MoS2 /Co-ZnS⊂NC) are prepared via a multistep reaction strategy. Profiting from the unique hierarchical structure, abundant migration channels of Na+ , and multicomponent synergistic effects, the rapid diffusion kinetics are ensured and the utilization of active materials is maximized. The coaxial structure can evenly disperse volumetric strain, making structural stability guaranteed. Hierarchical nanofibers deliver a high reversible capacity of 352.3 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 over 3000 cycles. A discharge capacity of 182.5 mAh g-1 is retained even after 10 000 cycles at 10.0 A g-1 as well as a high rate capacity of 202.0 mAh g-1 up to 30 A g-1 . The optimal atomic ratio of Co element is further verified by the kinetic analysis. The full-cells assembled with Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 cathode provide a high capacity of 179.2 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 for 500 cycles. Combining in situ and ex situ characterizations and theoretical calculations, possible sodium storage mechanisms and the origin of superior electrochemical properties are revealed.
