[PMID: 38761572 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) hold great potential for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their multielectron conversion reactions, yet face challenges of poor intrinsic conductivity, sluggish diffusion kinetics, severe phase transitions, and structural collapse during cycling. Herein, a self-templating strategy is proposed for the synthesis of a class of metal cobalt-doped NiSe nanoparticles confined within three-dimensional (3D) N-doped macroporous carbon matrix nanohybrids (Co-NiSe/NMC). The cation defect engineering within the developed Co-NiSe and 3D N-doped carbon plays a crucial role in enhancing intrinsic conductivity, reinforcing structural stability, and reducing the barrier to sodium ion diffusion, which are verified by a series of electrochemical kinetic analyses and density functional theory calculations. Significantly, such cation defect engineering not only reduces overpotential but also accelerates conversion reaction kinetics, ensuring both exceptional high-rate capability and extended durability. Consequently, the optimally engineered Co-NiSe/NMC demonstrates a remarkable rate performance, delivering 390 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1. Moreover, it exhibits an unprecedented lifespan, maintaining a remarkable capacity of 403 mAh g-1 after 1400 cycles and 318 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles, even at high rates of 1.0 and 2.0 A g-1, respectively. This work marks a substantial advancement in achieving both high performance and prolonged cycle life in sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Bismuth-based materials have been recognized as the appealing anodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity. However, the kinetics sluggishness and capacity decline induced by the structure distortion predominately retard their further development. Here, a heterostructure of polyaniline intercalated Bi2O2CO3/MXene (BOC-PA/MXene) hybrids is reported via simple self-assembly strategy. The ingenious design of heterointerface-rich architecture motivates significantly the interior self-built-in electric field (IEF) and high-density electron flow, thus accelerating the charge transfer and boosting ion diffusion. As a result, the hybrids realize a high reversible specific capacity, satisfying rate capability as well as long-term cycling stability. The in/ex situ characterizations further elucidate the stepwise intercalation-conversion-alloying reaction mechanism of BOC-PA/MXene. More encouragingly, the full cell investigation further highlights its competitive merits for practical application in further PIBs. The present work not only opens the way to the design of other electrodes with an appropriate working mechanism but also offers inspiration for built-in electric-field engineering toward high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Doping of metal ions shows promising potential in optimizing and modulating the electrical conductivity of layered double hydroxides (LDHs). However, there is still much room for improvement in common metal ions and conventional doping methods. In contrast to previous methodologies, a hollow triangular nanoflower structure of CoFeV-LDHs is devised, which is enriched with a greater number of oxygen vacancies. This resulted in a significant enhancement in the conductivity of the LDHs, leading to an increase in energy density following the appropriate doping of V. To investigate the impact of V-doping on the energy density of the LDHs, in situ XPS and in situ X-ray spectroscopy is employed. Regarding electrochemical performance, the CoFeV-LDHs/NF electrode with optimal doping ratio exhibited a specific capacitance of 881 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. The capacitance remained at 90.53% after 3000 cycles. In addition, the constructed battery-type supercapacitor CoFeV-LDHs/NF-2//AC exhibited an impressive energy density of 124.7 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 850 W kg-1 and capacitance remained almost unchanged at 95.2% after 3000 cycles. All the above demonstrates the great potential of V-doped LDHs and brings a new way for the subsequent research of LDHs.

Abstract
The unique superconductivity and charge density wave transition characteristics of NbSe2 make it worthy of exploring its electrochemical performance and potential applications in the field of batteries. Herein, the bulk NbSe2 was successfully exfoliated into few-layered NbSe2 nanostructures by wet grinding exfoliation approach, which solved the issues of its long activation period and poor cycle stability. The strong Nb-Se bond in the plane and weak van der Waals force between the adjacent layers could render the fast Na+ diffusion, provide abundant reaction sites and multi-directional migration paths, thus accelerate the ionic conductivity. The theoretical calculations verified the high Na+ adsorption tendency between the NbSe2 interlayers stemming from the continuous region of charge accumulation. Thanks to the unique electronic and two-dimensional few-layered structures, the exfoliated NbSe2 exhibited a high cyclic stability with a capacity of 502 mA h g-1 over 2800 cycles at 10 A/g. In addition, the reaction mechanism was studied by in-situ X-ray diffraction and other tests, indicating a reaction mechanism containing of simultaneous intercalation (NbSe2↔NaxNbSe2↔NaNbSe2↔Na1+xNbSe2) and conversion processes in NbSe2. This parallelly running mechanism not only alleviates the volume change but also ensures a high specific capacity. Additionally, different lattice planes of the NaNbSe2 intermediate in the intercalation process experience varying degrees of contraction and expanding in d-spacing due to the influence of Coulombic force.

Abstract
The high potassization/depotassization energy barriers and lack of efficient ion diffusion pathways are two serious obstacles for carbon-based materials to achieve satisfactory potassium ion storage performance. Herein, a facile and controllable one-step exfoliation-doping-etching strategy is proposed to construct heteroatoms (N, O, and S)-doped mesoporous few-layer carbon nanosheets (NOS-C). The mixed molten salts of KCl/K2SO4 are innovatively used as the exfoliators, dopants, and etching agents, which enable NOS-C with expanded interlayer spacing and uniformly distributed mesopores with the adjusted electronic structure of surrounding carbon atoms, contributing efficient dual (vertical and horizontal) K-ion diffusion pathways, low potassization/depotassization energy barriers and abundant active sites. Thus, the NOS anodes achieve a high reversible capacity of 516.8 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1, superior rate capability of 202.8 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 and excellent long-term cyclic stability, and their practical application potential is demonstrated by the assembled potassium-ion full batteries. Moreover, a surface-interlayer synergetic K+ storage mechanism is revealed by a combined theoretical and experimental approach including in situ EIS, in situ Raman, ex situ XPS, and SEM analysis. The proposed K+ storage mechanism and unique structural engineering provide a new pathway for potassium-ion storage devices and even beyond.

Abstract
Polypyrrole-coated CuInS2 (CuInS2@PPy) composite was prepared through the chemical vapor transport method and subsequent in situ polymerized coating strategy. In this unique nanoarchitecture, the PPy coating layer plays a crucial role in improving the conductivity of the composite, suppressing the volume change of CuInS2, and maintaining the structural integrity of electrode material upon cycling. In addition, the electrochemical reaction mechanism and kinetics of CuInS2@PPy were investigated in-depth. Benefitting from the synergism of its combinational intercalation-conversion-intercalation reaction mechanism and the high conductivity of the PPy coating layer, CuInS2@PPy electrode exhibits superior rate capability and cycling stability for sodium-ion batteries, with a capacity of 404.8 mA h g-1 at 4 A g-1 over 2500 cycles.

Abstract
Ammonium vanadate with stable bi-layered structure and superior mass-specific capacity have emerged as competitive cathode materials for aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Nevertheless, fragile NH…O bonds and too strong electrostatic interaction by virtue of excessive NH4+ will lead to sluggish Zn2+ ion mobility, further largely affects the electro-chemical performance of ammonium vanadate in AZIBs. The present work incorporates polypyrrole (PPy) to partially replace NH4+ in NH4V4O10 (NVO), resulting in the significantly enlarged interlayers (from 10.1 to 11.9 Å), remarkable electronic conductivity, increased oxygen vacancies and reinforced layered structure. The partial removal of NH4+ will alleviate the irreversible deammoniation to protect the laminate structures from collapse during ion insertion/extraction. The expanded interlayer spacing and the increased oxygen vacancies by the virtue of the introduction of polypyrrole improve the ionic diffusion, enabling exceptional rate performance of NH4V4O10. As expected, the resulting polypyrrole intercalated ammonium vanadate (NVOY) presents a superior discharge capacity of 431.9 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and remarkable cycling stability of 219.1 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 with 78 % capacity retention after 1500 cycles. The in-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ex-situ high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis investigate a highly reversible intercalation Zn-storage mechanism, and the enhanced the redox kinetics are related to the combined effect of interlayer regulation, high electronic conductivity and oxygen defect engineering by partial substitution NH4+ of PPy incorporation.

Abstract
Titanium disulfide (TiS2) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity, but it suffers from severe volume variation and shuttle effect of the intermediate polysulfides. To overcome the drawbacks, herein the successful fabrication of TiS2@N,S-codoped C (denoted as TiS2@NSC) through a chemical vapor reaction between Ti-based metal-organic framework (NH2-MIL-125) and carbon disulfide (CS2) is demonstrated. The C─N bonds enhance the electronic/ionic conductivity of the TiS2@NSC electrode, while the C─S bonds provide extra sodium storage capacity, and both polar bonds synergistically suppress the shuttle effect of polysulfides. Consequently, the TiS2@NSC electrode demonstrates outstanding cycling stability and rate performance, delivering reversible capacities of 418/392 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 2/5 A g-1. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope analyses reveal that TiS2 undergoes an intercalation-conversion ion storage mechanism with the generation of metallic Ti in a deeper sodiation state, and the pristine hexagonal TiS2 is electrochemically transformed into cubic rock-salt TiS2 as a reversible phase with enhanced reaction kinetics upon sodiation/desodiation cycling. The strategy to encapsulate TiS2 in N,S-codoped porous carbon matrices efficiently realizes superior conductivity and physical/chemical confinement of the soluble polysulfides, which can be generally applied for the rational design of advanced electrodes.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) offer several benefits, including cost-efficiency and fast-charging characteristics, positioning them as attractive substitutes for lithium-ion batteries in energy storage applications. However, the inferior capacity and cycling stability of electrodes in SIBs necessitate further enhancement due to sluggish reaction kinetics. In this respect, the utilization of heterostructures, which can provide an inherent electric field and abundant active sites on the surface, has emerged as a promising strategy for augmenting the cycling stability and rate features of the electrodes. This work delves into the utilization of V1.13Se2/V2O3 heterostructure materials as anodes, initially fabricated via a simplified one-step solid-state sintering technique. The high pseudocapacitance and low characteristic relaxation time constant give the V1.13Se2/V2O3 heterostructure impressive properties, such as a high capacity of 328.5 mAh g-1 even after 1500 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g-1 and rate capability of 278.9 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1. Moreover, the assembled sodium-ion full battery delivers a capacity of 118.5 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1. These findings provide novel insight and guidance for the rapid synthesis of heterojunction materials and the advancement of SIBs.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308263. [PMID: 37946672 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202308263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
Anode materials with excellent properties have become the key to develop sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) that combine the advantages of both batteries and capacitors. Amorphous modulation is an effective strategy to realize high energy/power density in SIHCs. Herein, atomically amorphous Nb-O/N clusters with asymmetric coordination are in situ created in N-doped hollow carbon shells (Nb-O/N@C). The amorphous clusters with asymmetric Nb-O3/N1 configurations have abundant charge density and low diffusion energy barriers, which effectively modulate the charge transport paths and improve the reaction kinetics. The clusters are also enriched with unsaturated vacancy defects and isotropic ion-transport channels, and their atomic disordering exhibits high structural stress buffering, which are strong impetuses for realizing bulk-phase-indifferent ion storage and enhancing the storage properties of the composite. Based on these features, Nb-O/N@C achieves notably improved sodium-ion storage properties (reversible capacity of 240.1 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 after 8000 cycles), and has great potential for SIHCs (230 Wh Kg-1 at 4001.5 W Kg-1). This study sheds new light on developing high-performance electrodes for sodium-ion batteries and SIHCs by designing amorphous clusters and asymmetric coordination.

Abstract
Multinary metal chalcogenides hold considerable promise for high-energy potassium storage due to their numerous redox reactions. However, challenges arise from issues such as volume expansion and sluggish kinetics. Here, a design featuring a layered ternary Bi0.4 Sb1.6 Te3 anchored on graphene layers as a composite anode, where Bi atoms act as a lattice softening agent on Sb, is presented. Benefiting from the lattice arrangement in Bi0.4 Sb1.6 Te3 and structure, Bi0.4 Sb1.6 Te3 /graphene exhibits a mitigated expansion of 28% during the potassiation/depotassiation process and demonstrates facile K+ ion transfer kinetics, enabling long-term durability of 500 cycles at various high rates. Operando synchrotron diffraction patterns and spectroscopies including in situ Raman, ex situ adsorption, and X-ray photoelectron reveal multiple conversion and alloying/dealloying reactions for potassium storage at the atomic level. In addition, both theoretical calculations and electrochemical examinations elucidate the K+ migration pathways and indicate a reduction in energy barriers within Bi0.4 Sb1.6 Te3 /graphene, thereby suggesting enhanced diffusion kinetics for K+ . These findings provide insight in the design of durable high-energy multinary tellurides for potassium storage.

Abstract
The instability and poor electronic conductivity of carbon materials derived from bimetallic zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) pose significant challenges for utilizing these carbon materials as direct electrodes for achieving rapid electron transfer and high-performance capacitive deionization (CDI). However, modifying ZIFs through conductive polymers is a wise tool to enhance the target characteristics of ZIFs. Herein, a strategy is proposed to use polypyrrole (PPy) to interlink the carbon units derived from CoTi-ZIF-9 to construct a blockchain network system with high capacity and fast electrochemical kinetics for high performance CDI. In this system, PPy serves as a branched link connecting each carbon unit, so that the ions in the electrolyte can achieve low barrier and fast transmission in the three-dimensional network structure between the unit structures. As expected, with the improved charge transfer efficiency between electrode materials and electrolyte, the CDI cell exhibits excellent desalination capacity (77.3 mg g-1). In addition, density functional theory calculations also indicate that the introduction of PPy results in a higher electron density near the fermi surface of carbon material, which is conducive to electron transport and reaction kinetics. This work may provide important concepts for the design of CDI electrodes with high-conductivity and high-performance.

Abstract
Layered indium selenide (InSe) is a new 2D semiconductor material with high carrier mobility, widely adjustable bandgap, and high ductility. However, its ion storage behavior and related electrochemical reaction mechanism are rarely reported. In this study, InSe nanoflakes encapsulated in conductive polypyrrole (InSe@PPy) are designed in consideration of restraining the severe volume change in the electrochemical reaction and increasing conductivity via in situ chemical oxidation polymerization. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the construction of heterostructure can generate an internal electric field to accelerate electron transfer via additional driving forces, offering synergistically enhanced structural stability, electrical conductivity, and Na+ diffusion process. The resulting InSe@PPy composite shows outstanding electrochemical performance in the sodium ion batteries system, achieving a high reversible capacity of 336.4 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 and a long-term cyclic stability with capacity of 274.4 mA h g-1 after 2800 cycles at 5 A g-1 . In particular, the investigation of capacity fluctuation within the first cycling reveals the alternating significance of intercalation and conversion reactions and evanescent alloying reaction. The combined reaction mechanism of insertion, conversion, and alloying of InSe@PPy is revealed by in situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenide (TMD) electrodes in sodium-ion batteries exhibit intrinsic shortcomings such as sluggish reaction kinetics, unstable conversion thermodynamics, and substantial volumetric strain effects, which lead to electrochemical failure. This report unlocks a design paradigm of VSe2- x /C in-plane heterojunction with built-in anion vacancy, achieved through an in situ functionalization and self-limited growth approach. Theoretical and experimental investigations reveal the bifunctional role of the Se vacancy in enhancing the ion diffusion kinetics and the structural thermodynamics of Nax VSe2 active phases. Moreover, this in-plane heterostructure facilitates complete face contact between the two components and tight interfacial conductive contact between the conversion phases, resulting in enhanced reaction reversibility. The VSe2- x /C heterojunction electrode exhibits remarkable sodium-ion storage performance, retaining specific capacities of 448.7 and 424.9 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at current densities of 5 and 10 A g-1 , respectively. Moreover, it exhibits a high specific capacity of 353.1 mAh g-1 even under the demanding condition of 100 A g-1 , surpassing most previous achievements. The proposed strategy can be extended to other V5 S8- x and V2 O5- x -based heterojunctions, marking a conceptual breakthrough in advanced electrode design for constructing high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) often struggle with challenges related to low electronic conductivity and unsatisfactory cyclic stability toward cationic intercalation. In this work, we tackle these issues by exploring an innovative strategy: leveraging heightened π-donation to activate the t2g orbital, thereby enhancing both electron/ion conductivity and structural stability of TMOs. We engineered Ni-doped layered manganese dioxide (Ni-MnO2), which is characterized by a distinctive Ni-O-Mn bridging configuration. Remarkably, Ni-MnO2 presents an impressive capacitance of 317 F g-1 and exhibits a robust cyclic stability, maintaining 81.58% of its original capacity even after 20,000 cycles. Mechanism investigations reveal that the incorporation of Ni-O-Mn configurations stimulates a heightened π-donation effect, which is beneficial to the π-type orbital hybridization involving the O 2p and the t2g orbital of Mn, thereby accelerating charge-transfer kinetics and activating the redox capacity of the t2g orbital. Additionally, the charge redistribution from Ni to the t2g orbital of Mn effectively elevates the low-energy orbital level of Mn, thus mitigating the undesirable Jahn-Teller distortion. This results in a subsequent decrease in the electron occupancy of the π*-antibonding orbital, which promotes an overall enhancement in structural stability. Our findings pave the way for an innovative paradigm in the development of fast and stable electrode materials for intercalation energy storage by activating the low orbitals of the TM center from a molecular orbital perspective.

Abstract
To support the global goal of carbon neutrality, numerous efforts have been devoted to the advancement of electrochemical energy conversion (EEC) and electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies. For these technologies, transition metal dichalcogenide/carbon (TMDC/C) heterostructures have emerged as promising candidates for both electrode materials and electrocatalysts over the past decade, due to their complementary advantages. It is worth noting that interfacial properties play a crucial role in establishing the overall electrochemical characteristics of TMDC/C heterostructures. However, despite the significant scientific contribution in this area, a systematic understanding of TMDC/C heterostructures' interfacial engineering is currently lacking. This literature review aims to focus on three types of interfacial engineering, namely interfacial orientation engineering, interfacial stacking engineering, and interfacial doping engineering, of TMDC/C heterostructures for their potential applications in EES and EEC devices. To accomplish this goal, a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches was used to allow the analysis and summary of the fundamental electrochemical properties and preparation strategies of TMDC/C heterostructures. Moreover, this review highlights the design and utilization of the interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures for specific EES and EEC devices. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of using interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures in practical EES and EEC devices are outlined. We expect that this review will effectively guide readers in their understanding, design, and application of interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures.

Abstract
Bismuth and bismuth-based compounds have been extensively studied as anodes as prospective candidates for rechargeable magnesium batteries (rMBs). However, the unsatisfactory magnesium-storage capability caused by the typical alloying reaction mechanism severely restricts the practical option for anodes in rMBs. Herein, polyaniline intercalated Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets are prepared by an effective interlayer engineering strategy to fine-tune the layer structure of Bi2O2CO3, achieving enhanced magnesium-storage capacity, rate performance, as well as long cycle life. Excitedly, a stepwise insertion-conversion-alloying reaction is aroused to stabilize the performance, which is elucidated by in/ex situ investigations. Moreover, first-principles calculations confirm that the coupling of Bi2O2CO3 and polyaniline not only increases the conductivity induced by the strong density of states and the interior self-built-in electric field but also significantly reduces the energy barrier of Mg shuttles. Our findings shed light on exploring new electrode materials with an appropriate working mechanism toward high-performance rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Vanadium selenium has gained attention as a potential anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to the tunable crystal structure, effective channels for Na+ diffusion, and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the pursuit of vanadium selenium remains an enormous challenge. Herein, we demonstrated that V2Se9 nanosheets could be fabricated facilely and efficiently via a one-pot synthesis method with the careful selection of the solvent/surfactant. The V2Se9 anode have demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance for SIBs. An intercalation and conversion mechanism of Na-storage in V2Se9 were clarified by ex situ X-ray diffraction. This work develops an effective strategy to fabricate transition metal chalcogenides for high-performance sodium storage.

Abstract
A sodium-ion battery, with a wide operating range, is much cheaper and safer than a lithium battery. Graphene is regarded as a promising carbon material in the preparation of anode materials. However, the large two-dimensional (2D) graphene sheets restrain the cross-plane diffusion of electrolyte ions, limiting the further improvement of rate performance. Herein, a nanohybrid of FeCo2Se4 and holey graphene (FeCo2Se4/HG) has been successfully prepared by the synchronism of pore creation and active material growth. Specifically, FeCo-oxide nanoparticles serve as the etching agents, generating in-plane nanoholes and subsequently converted into FeCo2Se4. The nanoholes provide a high density of cross-plane diffusion channels for sodium ions, serving as ionic diffusion shortcuts between different graphene layers to accelerate ion transport across the entire electrode. The unique architecture endows FeCo2Se4/HG with superior rate capability (411.2 mA h g-1 at 20 A g-1) and a specific capacity of 432.4 mA h g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 after 2000 cycles with a capacity retention rate of 92.4%. Therefore, pore engineering makes it possible for holey graphene-based electrodes to achieve outstanding rate performance and superb cycling durability.

Abstract
The development of high energy density and long cycle lifespan aqueous zinc ion batteries is hindered by the limited cathode materials and serious zinc dendrite growth. In this work, a defect-rich VS2 cathode material is manufactured by in situ electrochemical defect engineering under high charge cut-off voltage. Owing to the rich abundant vacancies and lattice distortion in the ab plane, the tailored VS2 can unlock the transport path of Zn2+ along the c-axis, enabling 3D Zn2+ transport along both the ab plane and c-axis, and reduce the electrostatic interaction between VS2 and zinc ions, thus achieving excellent rate capability (332 mA h g-1 and 227.8 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 and 20 A g-1, respectively). The thermally favorable intercalation and 3D rapid transport of Zn2+ in the defect-rich VS2 are verified by multiple ex situ characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. However, the long cycling stability of the Zn-VS2 battery is still unsatisfactory due to the Zn dendrite issue. It can be found that the introduction of an external magnetic field enables changing the movement of Zn2+, suppressing the growth of zinc dendrites, and resulting in enhanced cycling stability from about 90 to 600 h in the Zn||Zn symmetric cell. As a result, a high-performance Zn-VS2 full cell is realized by operating under a weak magnetic field, which shows an ultralong cycle lifespan with a capacity of 126 mA h g-1 after 7400 cycles at 5 A g-1, and delivers the highest energy density of 304.7 W h kg-1 and maximum power density of 17.8 kW kg-1.

Abstract
Layered transition metal chalcogenides (MX, M=Mo, W, Sn, V; X=S, Se, Te) have large ion transport channels and high specific capacity, making them promising for large-sized Na+ /K+ energy-storage technologies. Nevertheless, slow reaction kinetics and huge volume expansion will induce an undesirable electrochemical performance. Numerous efforts have been devoted to designing MX anodes and enhancing their electrochemical performance. Based on the metal-organic assembly strategy, nanostructural engineering, combination with carbon materials, and component regulation can be easily realized, which effectively boost the performance of MX anodes. In this Review, we present a comprehensive overview on the synthesis of MX nanostructure using the metal-organic assembly strategy, which can realize the design of MX nanostructures, based on self-sacrificial templates, host@guest tailored templates, post-modified layer and derivative templates. The preparation routes and structure evolution are mainly discussed. Then, Mo-, W-, Sn-, V-based chalcogenides used for Na+ /K+ energy storage are reviewed, and the relationship between the structure and the electrochemical performance, as well as the energy storage mechanism are emphasized. In addition, existing challenges and future perspectives are also presented.

Abstract
The sluggish redox kinetics and the severe shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) are the main key issues which would hinder the development of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. In this work, a nickel-doped vanadium selenide in-situ grows on reduced graphene oxide(rGO) to form a two-dimensional (2D) composite Ni-VSe2/rGO by a simple solvothermal method. When it is used as a modified separator in Li-S batteries, the Ni-VSe2/rGO material with the doped defect and super-thin layered structure can greatly adsorb LiPSs and catalyze the conversion reaction of LiPSs, resulting in effectively reducing LiPSs diffusion and suppressing the shuttle effect. More importantly, the cathode-separator bonding body is first developed as a new strategy of electrode-separator integration in Li-S batteries, which not only could decrease the LiPSs dissolution and improve the catalysis performance of the functional separator as the upper current-collector, but also is good for the high sulfur loading and the low electrolyte/sulfur (E/S) ratio for high energy density Li-S batteries. When the Ni-VSe2/rGO-PP (polypropylene, Celgard 2400) modified separator is applied, the Li-S cell can retain 510.3 mA h g-1 capacity after 1190 cycles at 0.5C. In the electrode-separator integrated system, the Li-S cell can still maintain 552.9 mA h g-1 for 190 cycles at a sulfur loading 6.4 mg cm-2 and 4.9 mA h cm-2 for 100 cycles at a sulfur loading 7.0 mg cm-2. The experimental results indicate that both the doped defect engineering and the super-thin layered structure design might optimally be chosen to fabricate a new modified separator material, and especially, the electrode-separator integration strategy would open a practical way to promote the electrochemical behavior of Li-S batteries with high sulfur loading and low E/S ratio.

Abstract
The exploitation of electrode materials with ability to balance capacity and kinetics between cathode and anode is a challenge for sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs). Mn-based anode materials are limited by poor electrical conductivity, sluggish reaction kinetics, large volume variation, weak cycling stability, and inferior reversible capacity. Herein, MnS nanocubes encapsulated in S-doped porous carbon matrix (MSC) with strong sulfur-bridged bond interactions (CSMn) are successfully synthesized by solvent-free tactics. The CSMn bonds generated between MnS and carbon significantly inhibit the aggregation of nanostructural MnS cubes, restrict the volume expansion, and stabilize the nanostructure, which improves the Na+ storage reversibility and stability. Moreover, S-doped porous carbon enhances the electrical conductivity and electrons/ions diffusion rate, which boosts a fast kinetic reaction. As expected, MSC anode presents an outstanding reversible capacity of 600 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and a long-term stable capacity of 357 mAh g-1 for 1000 cycles at a high current density of 10 A g-1 in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The as-assembled SIHCs deliver a high energy density of 109 W h kg-1 and a high power output of 98 W kg-1 , with 88% capacity retention at 2 A g-1 after 2000 cycles and practical applications (55 LEDs can be lighted for 10 min).

Abstract
As the new generation of energy storage systems, the flexible battery can effectively broaden the application area and scope of energy storage devices. Flexibility and energy density are the two core evaluation parameters for the flexible battery. In this work, a flexible VS2 material (VS2 @CF) is fabricated by growing the VS2 nanosheet arrays on carbon foam (CF) using a simple hydrothermal method. Benefiting from the high electric conductivity and 3D foam structure, VS2 @CF shows an excellent rate capability (172.8 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and cycling performance (130.2 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles) when it served as cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. More importantly, the quasi-solid-state battery VS2 @CF//Zn@CF assembled by the VS2 @CF cathode, CF-supported Zn anode, and a self-healing gel electrolyte also exhibits excellent rate capability (261.5 and 149.8 mAh g-1 at 0.2 and 5 A g-1 , respectively) and cycle performance with a capacity of 126.6 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 1 A g-1 . Moreover, the VS2 @CF//Zn@CF full cell also shows good flexible and self-healing properties, which can be charged and discharged normally under different bending angles and after being destroyed and then self-healing.

Abstract
Nickel-based materials have been extensively deemed as promising anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to their superior capacity. Unfortunately, the rational design of electrodes as well as long-term cycling performance remains a thorny challenge due to the huge irreversible volume change during the charge/discharge process. Herein, the heterostructured ultrafine nickel sulfide/nickel phosphide (NiS/Ni2P) nanoparticles closely attached to the interconnected porous carbon sheets (NiS/Ni2P@C) are designed by facile hydrothermal and annealing methods. The NiS/Ni2P heterostructure promotes ion/electron transport, thus accelerating the electrochemical reaction kinetics benefited from the built-in electric field effect. Moreover, the interconnected porous carbon sheets offer rapid electron migration and excellent electronic conductivity, while releasing the volume variance during Na+ intercalation and deintercalation, guaranteeing superior structural stability. As expected, the NiS/Ni2P@C electrode exhibits a high reversible specific capacity of 344 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and great rate stability. Significantly, the implementation of NiS/Ni2P@C//Na3(VPO4)2F3 SIB full cell configuration exhibits relatively satisfactory cycle performance, which suggests its widely practical application. This research will develop an effective method for constructing heterostructured hybrids for electrochemical energy storage.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1253. [PMID: 36770259 PMCID: PMC9920653 DOI: 10.3390/ma16031253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
As the market for electric vehicles and portable electronic devices continues to grow rapidly, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as energy storage systems to replace lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, sodium-ion is heavier and larger than lithium-ion, resulting in volume expansion and slower ion transfer. It is necessary to find suitable anode materials with high capacity and stability. In addition, wearable electronics are starting to be commercialized, requiring a binder-free electrode used in flexible batteries. In this work, we synthesized nano flake-like VSe2 using organic precursor and combined it with MWCNT as carbonaceous material. VSe2@MWCNT was mixed homogenously using sonication and fabricated film electrodes without a binder and substrate via vacuum filter. The hybrid electrode exhibited high-rate capability and stable cycling performance with a discharge capacity of 469.1 mAhg-1 after 200 cycles. Furthermore, VSe2@MWCNT exhibited coulombic efficiency of ~99.7%, indicating good cycle stability. Additionally, VSe2@MWCNT showed a predominant 85.5% of capacitive contribution at a scan rate of 1 mVs-1 in sodiation/desodiation process. These results showed that VSe2@MWCNT is a suitable anode material for flexible SIBs.
