Abstract
Titanium-based oxides including TiO2 and M-Ti-O compounds (M = Li, Nb, Na, etc.) family, exhibit advantageous structural dynamics (2D ion diffusion path, open and stable structure for ion accommodations) for practical applications in energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and hybrid pseudocapacitors. Further, Ti-based oxides show high operating voltage relative to the deposition of alkali metal, ensuring full safety by avoiding the formation of lithium and sodium dendrites. On the other hand, high working potential prevents the decomposition of electrolyte, delivering excellent rate capability through the unique pseudocapacitive kinetics. Nevertheless, the intrinsic poor electrical conductivity and reaction dynamics limit further applications in energy storage devices. Recently, various work and in-depth understanding on the morphologies control, surface engineering, bulk-phase doping of Ti-based oxides, have been promoted to overcome these issues. Inspired by that, in this review, the authors summarize the fundamental issues, challenges and advances of Ti-based oxides in the applications of advanced electrochemical energy storage. Particularly, the authors focus on the progresses on the working mechanism and device applications from lithium-ion batteries to sodium-ion batteries, and then the hybrid pseudocapacitors. In addition, future perspectives for fundamental research and practical applications are discussed.

Abstract
The predictive self-assembly of tunable nanostructures is of great utility for broad nanomaterial investigations and applications. The use of equilibrium-based approaches however prevents independent feature size control. Kinetic-controlled methods such as persistent micelle templates (PMTs) overcome this limitation and maintain constant pore size by imposing a large thermodynamic barrier to chain exchange. Thus, the wall thickness is independently adjusted via addition of material precursors to PMTs. Prior PMT demonstrations added water-reactive material precursors directly to aqueous micelle solutions. That approach depletes the thermodynamic barrier to chain exchange and thus limits the amount of material added under PMT-control. Here, an ex situ hydrolysis method is developed for TiO2 that mitigates this depletion of water and nearly decouples materials chemistry from micelle control. This enables the widest reported PMT range (M:T = 1.6-4.0), spanning the gamut from sparse walls to nearly isolated pores with ≈2 Å precision adjustment. This high-resolution nanomaterial series exhibits monotonic trends where PMT confinement within increasing wall-thickness leads to larger crystallites and an increasing extent of lithiation, reaching Li0.66 TiO2 . The increasing extent of lithiation with increasing anatase crystallite dimensions is attributed to the size-dependent strain mismatch of anatase and bronze polymorph mixtures.

Abstract
Monodisperse ZnO particles with adjustable size have been produced on a large scale by two-step seeding-growth polyol reactions. Through spin coating of supersaturated ZnO/diethylene glycol solution and evaporation of solvent, opaline ZnO photonic crystal (PC) film with good crystallinity and uniform photonic structures can be prepared from these ZnO particles. Compared with a disorderly stacked ZnO film, the ZnO PC film shows a higher activity in photocatalytic reduction of CO2 due to the generated slow photons at the edge of the photonic band gap and their promotion to the light absorption. When the electronic band gap of ZnO matches the red edge of the photonic band gap of ZnO PC, the enhancement factor of photocatalytic activity represented by CO evolution can be maximized to 2.64-fold in the current experiment. Compared to the traditional inverse opal photocatalysts, the opaline ZnO photocatalysts are prepared by simplified and scalable procedures, and they still possess the same enhancement in activity compared to ZnO without the photonic structure, which might be broadly used in solar energy utilization, environment protection, and many other green chemical processes in the future.

Abstract
Solar light is widely recognized as one of the most valuable renewable energy sources for the future. However, the development of solar-energy technologies is severely hindered by poor energy-conversion efficiencies due to low optical-absorption coefficients and low quantum-conversion yield of current-generation materials. Huge efforts have been devoted to investigating new strategies to improve the utilization of solar energy. Different chemical and physical strategies have been used to extend the spectral range or increase the conversion efficiency of materials, leading to very promising results. However, these methods have now begun to reach their limits. What is therefore the next big concept that could efficiently be used to enhance light harvesting? Despite its discovery many years ago, with the potential for becoming a powerful tool for enhanced light harvesting, the slow-photon effect, a manifestation of light-propagation control due to photonic structures, has largely been overlooked. This review presents theoretical as well as experimental progress on this effect, revealing that the photoreactivity of materials can be dramatically enhanced by exploiting slow photons. It is predicted that successful implementation of this strategy may open a very promising avenue for a broad spectrum of light-energy-conversion technologies.

Abstract
A simple and green method is developed for the preparation of nanostructured TiO2 supported on nitrogen-doped carbon foams (NCFs) as a free-standing and flexible electrode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), in which the TiO2 with 2.5-4 times higher loading than the conventional TiO2 -based flexible electrodes acts as the active material. In addition, the NCFs act as a flexible substrate and efficient conductive networks. The nanocrystalline TiO2 with a uniform size of ≈10 nm form a mesoporous layer covering the wall of the carbon foam. When used directly as a flexible electrode in a LIB, a capacity of 188 mA h g-1 is achieved at a current density of 200 mA g-1 for a potential window of 1.0-3.0 V, and a specific capacity of 149 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g-1 is maintained. The highly conductive NCF and flexible network, the mesoporous structure and nanocrystalline size of the TiO2 phase, the firm adhesion of TiO2 over the wall of the NCFs, the small volume change in the TiO2 during the charge/discharge processes, and the high cut-off potential contribute to the excellent capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability of the TiO2 /NCFs flexible electrode.

Abstract
Highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles supported on high-surface-area 3D ordered macroporous (3DOM) Ce0.6 Zr0.3 Y0.1 O2 (CZY) are synthesized via a bubbling cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide/P123-assisted reduction route. The 1.1 wt% Pt/3DOM CZY catalyst shows supercatalytic activity for methane combustion, which is attributed to a higher oxygen adspecies amount, larger surface area, better low-temperature reducibility, and unique nanovoid-walled 3DOM structure.

Abstract
As lithium-ion batteries (LIB) see increasing use in areas beyond consumer electronics, such as the transportation sector, research has been directed at improving LIBs to better suit these applications. Of particular interest are materials and methods to increase Li(+) capacity at various charge/discharge rates, to improve retention of Li(+) capacity from cycle-to-cycle, and to enhance various safety aspects of electrode synthesis, cell construction, and end use. This work focuses on the synthesis and testing of three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) TiO2/C LIB anode materials prepared using low toxicity precursors, including ammonium citratoperoxotitanate(IV) and sucrose, which provide high capacities for reversible Li(+) insertion/extraction. When the composites are pyrolyzed at 700 °C, the carbon phase restricts sintering of TiO2 crystallites and keeps the size of these crystallites below 5 nm. Slightly larger crystallites are produced at higher temperatures, alongside a titanium oxycarbide phase. The composites exhibit excellent capacities as LIB anodes at low to moderate charge/discharge rates (in the window from 1 to 3 V vs Li/Li(+)). Composites pyrolyzed at 700 °C retain over 200 mAh/g TiO2 of capacity after 100 cycles at a C/2 rate (C = 335 mA/g), and do not suffer from extensive cycle-to-cycle capacity fading. A substantial improvement of overall capacities, especially at high rates, is attained by cycling the composite anodes in a wider voltage window (0.05 to 3 V vs Li/Li(+)), which allows for Li(+) intercalation into carbon. At currents of 1500 mA/g of active material, over 200 mAh/g of capacity is retained. Other structural aspects of the composites are discussed, including how rutile TiO2 is found in these composites at sizes below the thermodynamic stability limit in the pure phase.
