Abstract
Tantalum-based oxide electrodes have recently drawn much attention as promising anode materials owing to their hybrid Li+ storage mechanism. However, the utilization of LiTaO3 electrode materials that can deliver a high theoretical capacity of 568 mAh g-1 has been neglected. Herein, we prepare a layered LiTaO3 electrode formed artificially by restacking LiTaO3 nanosheets using a facile synthesis method and investigate the Li+ storage performance of this electrode compared with its bulk counterpart. The designed artificially layered anode reaches specific capacities of 474, 290, and 201 mAh g-1, respectively, at 56 (>500 cycles), 280 (>1000 cycles), and 1120 mAg-1 (>2000 cycles) current densities. We also determine that the Li+ storage capacity of the layered LiTaO3 demonstrates a cycling-induced capacity increase after a certain number of cycles. Adopting various characterization techniques on LiTaO3 electrodes before and after electrochemical cycling, we attribute the origin of the cycling-induced improvement of the Li+ storage capacity in these electrodes to the amorphization of the electrode after cycling, formation of metallic tantalum during the partially irreversible conversion mechanism, lower activation overpotential of electrodes due to the formation of Li-rich species by the lithium insertion mechanism, and finally the intrinsic piezoelectric behavior of LiTaO3 that can regulate Li+ diffusion kinetics.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensors have become increasingly relevant in fields such as medicine, environmental monitoring, and industrial process control. Selectivity, specificity, sensitivity, signal reproducibility, and robustness are among the most important challenges for their development, especially when the target compound is present in low concentrations or in complex analytical matrices. In this context, electrode modification with Mesoporous Thin Films (MTFs) has aroused great interest in the past years. MTFs present high surface area, uniform pore distribution, and tunable pore size. Furthermore, they offer a wide variety of electrochemical signal modulation possibilities through molecular sieving, electrostatic or steric exclusion, and preconcentration effects which are due to mesopore confinement and surface functionalization. In order to fully exploit these advantages, it is central to develop reproducible routes for sensitive, selective, and robust MTF-modified electrodes. In addition, it is necessary to understand the complex mass and charge transport processes that take place through the film (particularly in the mesopores, pore surfaces, and interfaces) and on the electrode in order to design future intelligent and adaptive sensors. We present here an overview of MTFs applied to electrochemical sensing, in which we address their fabrication methods and the transport processes that are critical to the electrode response. We also summarize the current applications in biosensing and electroanalysis, as well as the challenges and opportunities brought by integrating MTF synthesis with electrode microfabrication, which is critical when moving from laboratory work to in situ sensing in the field of interest.

Abstract
In order to improve the electro-microstructural physiognomics of electrode materials for applications in better efficiency supercapacitors, herein graphitic carbon nitride (GCN)-heterostructurized CoS-NiCo2S4 is designed using a controlled material growth synthesis procedure. The developed CoS-NiCo2S4/GCN possesses ample hydrophilicity, possible charge transfer between GCN and CoS-NiCo2S4, uniform phase distribution, and distinctive microstructural characteristics. The preliminary electrochemical studies in the three-electrode setup show GCN-induced lower charge transfer resistance and very unique Warburg profile corresponding to extremely low diffusion resistance in CoS-NiCo2S4/GCN as compared to pristine CoS-NiCo2S4. Furthermore, GCN is found to significantly induce surface-controlled (capacitive-type) charge storage and frequency-independent specific capacitance up to 10 Hz in CoS-NiCo2S4. Furthermore, the CoS-NiCo2S4||N-rGO and CoS-NiCo2S4/GCN||N-rGO all-solid-state hybrid supercapacitor (ASSHSC) devices were fabricated using N-rGO as the negative electrode material, and the inducing effect of GCN on the supercapacitive charge storage performance of the devices is thoroughly studied. Results demonstrate that the mass specific capacitance and areal capacitance of CoS-NiCo2S4/GCN||N-rGO are ∼2 and ∼4 times more than those of the CoS-NiCo2S4||N-rGO ASSHSC device, respectively. Furthermore, the CoS-NiCo2S4/GCN||N-rGO offers more energy density, rate energy density, and additional charge-discharge durability (over ∼10,000 cycles) than the CoS-NiCo2S4||N-rGO ASSHSC device. The multifold performance improvement of CoS-NiCo2S4 with GCN heterostructurization is ascribed to GCN-induced supplemented porosity and pore widening, ionic nonstoichiometry (Ni2±δ, Co2±δ, and Co3±δ), wettability, integrated enhancement in the conductivity, and electroactive-ion accessibility in the CoS-NiCo2S4/GCN heterocomposite. The present study offers vital physicoelectrochemical insights toward the future development of low cost and high-performance electrode materials, and their implementation in high-rate and operationally stable all-solid-state hybrid supercapacitor devices, for application in the next-generation front-line technologies.

Abstract
The novel material class of high entropy oxides with their unique and unexpected physicochemical properties is a candidate for energy applications. Herein, it is reported for the first time about the physico- and (photo-) electrochemical properties of ordered mesoporous (CoNiCuZnMg)Fe2 O4 thin films synthesized by a soft-templating and dip-coating approach. The A-site high entropy ferrites (HEF) are composed of periodically ordered mesopores building a highly accessible inorganic nanoarchitecture with large specific surface areas. The mesoporous spinel HEF thin films are found to be phase-pure and crack-free on the meso- and macroscale. The formation of the spinel structure hosting six distinct cations is verified by X-ray-based characterization techniques. Photoelectron spectroscopy gives insight into the chemical state of the implemented transition metals supporting the structural characterization data. Applied as photoanode for photoelectrochemical water splitting, the HEFs are photostable over several hours but show only low photoconductivity owing to fast surface recombination, as evidenced by intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy. When applied as oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalyst, the HEF thin films possess overpotentials of 420 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 1 m KOH. The results imply that the increase of the compositional disorder enhances the electronic transport properties, which are beneficial for both energy applications.

Abstract
Fast and continuous ion insertion is blocked in the common electrodes operating with widely accepted single-ion storage mechanism, primarily due to Coulomb repulsion between the same ions. It results in an irreconcilable conflict between capacity and rate performance. Herein, we designed a porous organic framework with novel multiple-ion co-storage modes, including PF6 - /Li+ , OTF- /Mg2+ , and OTF- /Zn2+ co-storage. The Coulomb interactions between cationic and anionic carriers in the framework can significantly promote electrode kinetics, by rejuvenating fast ion carrier migration toward framework interior. Consequently, the framework via PF6 - /Li+ co-storage mode shows a high energy density of 878 Wh kg-1 cycled more than 20 000 cycles, with an excellent power density of 28 kW kg-1 that is already comparable to commercial supercapacitors. The both greatly improved energy and power densities via the co-storage mode may pave a way for exploring new electrodes that are not available from common single-ion electrodes.

Abstract
Metal oxide-based photoelectrodes for solar water splitting often utilize nanostructures to increase the solid-liquid interface area. This reduces charge transport distances and increases the photocurrent for materials with short minority charge carrier diffusion lengths. While the merits of nanostructuring are well established, the effect of surface order on the photocurrent and carrier recombination has not yet received much attention in the literature. To evaluate the impact of pore ordering on the photoelectrochemical properties, mesoporous CuFe2 O4 (CFO) thin film photoanodes were prepared by dip-coating and soft-templating. Here, the pore order and geometry can be controlled by addition of copolymer surfactants poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (Pluronic® F-127), polyisobutylene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PIB-PEO) and poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (Kraton liquid™-PEO, KLE). The non-ordered CFO showed the highest photocurrent density of 0.2 mA/cm2 at 1.3 V vs. RHE for sulfite oxidation, but the least photocurrent density for water oxidation. Conversely, the ordered CFO presented the best photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance. These differences can be understood on the basis of the high surface area, which promotes hole transfer to sulfite (a fast hole acceptor), but retards oxidation of water (a slow hole acceptor) due to electron-hole recombination at the defective surface. This interpretation is confirmed by intensity-modulated photocurrent (IMPS) and vibrating Kelvin probe surface photovoltage spectroscopy (VKP-SPS). The lowest surface recombination rate was observed for the ordered KLE-based mesoporous CFO, which retains spherical pore shapes at the surface resulting in fewer surface defects. Overall, this work shows that the photoelectrochemical energy conversion efficiency of copper ferrite thin films is not just controlled by the surface area, but also by surface order.

Abstract
Mesoporous thin films are widely used for applications in need of high surface area and efficient mass and charge transport properties. A well-established fabrication process involves the supramolecular assembly of organic molecules (e.g., block copolymers and surfactants) with inorganic materials obtained by sol-gel chemistry. Typically, subsequent calcination in air removes the organic template and reveals the porous inorganic network. A significant challenge for such coatings is the anisotropic shrinkage due to the volume contraction related to solvent evaporation, inorganic condensation, and template removal, affecting the final porosity as well as pore shape, size, arrangement, and accessibility. Here, we show that a two-step calcination process, composed of high-temperature treatment in argon followed by air calcination, is an effective fabrication strategy to reduce film contraction and enhance structural control of mesoporous thin films. Crucially, the formation of a transient carbonaceous scaffold enables the inorganic matrix to fully condense before template removal. The resulting mesoporous films retain a higher porosity as well as bigger pores with extended porous order. Such films present favorable characteristics for mass transport of large molecules. This is demonstrated for lysozyme adsorption into the mesoporous thin films as an example of enzyme storage.

Abstract
In this study, cuboid-like anhydrous CoC2 O4 particles (CoC2 O4 -HK) are synthesized through a potassium citrate-assisted hydrothermal method, which possess well-crystallized structure for fast Li+ transportation and efficient Li+ intercalation pseudocapacitive behaviors. When being used in lithium-ion batteries, the as-prepared CoC2 O4 -HK delivers a high reversible capacity (≈1360 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), good rate capability (≈650 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and outstanding cycling stability (835 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1 ). Characterizations illustrate that the Li+ -intercalation pseudocapacitance dominates the charge storage of CoC2 O4 -HK electrode, together with the reversible reaction of CoC2 O4 +2Li+ +2e- →Co+Li2 C2 O4 on discharging and charging. In addition, CoC2 O4 -HK particles are also used together with carbon-sulfur composite materials as the electrocatalysts for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery, which displays a gratifying sulfur electrochemistry with a high reversibility of 1021.5 mAh g-1 at 2 C and a low decay rate of 0.079% per cycle after 500 cycles. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that CoC2 O4 /C can regulate the adsorption-activation of reaction intermediates and therefore boost the catalytic conversion of polysulfides. Therefore, this work presents a new prospect of applying CoC2 O4 as the high-performance electrode materials for rechargeable Li-ion and Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Intercalation-type metal oxides are promising negative electrode materials for safe rechargeable lithium-ion batteries due to the reduced risk of Li plating at low voltages. Nevertheless, their lower energy and power density along with cycling instability remain bottlenecks for their implementation, especially for fast-charging applications. Here, we report a nanostructured rock-salt Nb2O5 electrode formed through an amorphous-to-crystalline transformation during repeated electrochemical cycling with Li+. This electrode can reversibly cycle three lithiums per Nb2O5, corresponding to a capacity of 269 mAh g-1 at 20 mA g-1, and retains a capacity of 191 mAh g-1 at a high rate of 1 A g-1. It exhibits superb cycling stability with a capacity of 225 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 for 400 cycles, and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.93%. We attribute the enhanced performance to the cubic rock-salt framework, which promotes low-energy migration paths. Our work suggests that inducing crystallization of amorphous nanomaterials through electrochemical cycling is a promising avenue for creating unconventional high-performance metal oxide electrode materials.

Abstract
Inspired by the fermentation of multiple small bread embryos to form large bread embryos, in this study, the expansion of tin foil inlaid with sodium rings in the process of repeated sodium inlaid and removal was utilized to maximum extent to realize the formation of sodium-tin alloy anode and the improvement of sodium storage characteristics. The special design of Sn foil inlaid with Na ring realized the in-situ electrochemical formation of fluffy porous sodium-tin alloy, effectively alleviated the volume expansion and shrinkage of non-electrochemical active Sn metal, and inhibited the generation of sodium dendrites. The abundance of sodium ions provided by the Na metal ring compensated for the active sodium components consumed during the repeated formation of SEI. When sodium-tin alloy in situ derived by Sn foil inlaid with Na ring was used as negative electrodes matched with SCDC and Na0.91MnO2 hexagonal tablets (NMO HTs) positive electrodes, the as-assembled sodium-ion energy storage devices present high specific capacity and excellent cycle stability.

Abstract
Perovskite-type oxides are widely used for energy conversion and storage, but their rate-inhibiting phase transition and large volume change hinder the applications of most perovskite-type oxides for high-rate electrochemical energy storage. Here, it is shown that a cation-deficient perovskite CeNb3 O9 (CNO) can store a sufficient amount of lithium at a high charge/discharge rate, even when the sizes of the synthesized particles are on the order of micrometers. At 60 C (15 A g-1 ), corresponding to a 1 min charge, the CNO anode delivers over 52.8% of its capacity. In addition, the CNO anode material exhibits 96.6% capacity retention after 2000 charge-discharge cycles at 50 C (12.5 A g-1 ), indicating exceptional long-term cycling stability at high rates. The excellent cycling performance is attributed to the formation of atomic short-range order, which significantly prevents local and long-range structural rearrangements, stabilizing the host structure and being responsible for the small volume evolution. Moreover, the extremely high rate capacity can be explained by the intrinsically large interstitial sites in multiple directions, intercalation pseudocapacitance, atomic short-range order, and cation-vacancy-enhanced 3D-conduction networks for lithium ions. These structural characteristics and mechanisms can be used to design advanced perovskite electrode materials for fast-charging and long-life lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
With the ever-rapid miniaturization of portable, wearable electronics and Internet of Things, the volumetric performance is becoming a much more pertinent figure-of-merit than the conventionally used gravimetric parameters to evaluate the charge-storage capacity of electrochemical capacitors (ECs). Thus, it is essential to design the ECs that can store as much energy as possible within a limited space. As the most critical component in ECs, "porous and yet dense" electrodes with large ion-accessible surface area and optimal packing density are crucial to realize desired high volumetric performance, which have demonstrated to be rather challenging. In this review, the principles and fundamentals of ECs are first observed, focusing on the key understandings of the different charge storage mechanisms in porous electrodes. The recent and latest advances in high-volumetric-performance ECs, developed by the rational design and fabrication of "porous and yet dense" electrodes are then examined. Particular emphasis of discussions then concentrates on the key factors impacting the volumetric performance of porous carbon-based electrodes. Finally, the currently faced challenges, further perspectives and opportunities on those purposely engineered porous electrodes for high-volumetric-performance EC are presented, aiming at providing a set of guidelines for further design of the next-generation energy storage devices.

Abstract
The use of nonrenewable fossil fuels for energy has increased in recent decades, posing a serious threat to human life. As a result, it is critical to build environmentally friendly and low-cost reliable and renewable energy storage solutions. The supercapacitor is a future energy device because of its higher power density and outstanding cyclic stability with a quick charge and discharge process. Supercapacitors, on the other hand, have a lower energy density than regular batteries. It is well known that the electrochemical characteristic of supercapacitors is strongly dependent on electrode materials. The current review highlights advance in the TMOs for supercapacitor electrodes. In addition, the newly discovered hybrid/pseudo-supercapacitors have been discussed. Metal oxides that are employed as electrode materials are the focus of this study. The discovery of nanostructured electrode materials continues to be a major focus of supercapacitor research. To create high-performance electrode materials from a morphological standpoint, various efforts have been attempted. Lastly, we analyze the supercapacitor’s evolving trend and our perspective for the future generations of supercapacitors.

Abstract
Functional mesoporous materials have gained tremendous attention due to their distinctive properties and potential applications. In recent decades, the self-assembly of micelles and framework precursors into mesostructures on the liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, and gas-liquid interface has been explored in the construction of functional mesoporous materials with diverse compositions, morphologies, mesostructures, and pore sizes. Compared with the one-phase solution synthetic approach, the introduction of a two-phase interface in the synthetic system changes self-assembly behaviors between micelles and framework species, leading to the possibility for the on-demand fabrication of unique mesoporous architectures. In addition, controlling the interfacial tension is critical to manipulate the self-assembly process for precise synthesis. In particular, recent breakthroughs based on the concept of the "monomicelles" assembly mechanism are very promising and interesting for the synthesis of functional mesoporous materials with the precise control. In this review, we highlight the synthetic strategies, principles, and interface engineering at the macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale for oriented interfacial assembly of functional mesoporous materials over the past 10 years. The potential applications in various fields, including adsorption, separation, sensors, catalysis, energy storage, solar cells, and biomedicine, are discussed. Finally, we also propose the remaining challenges, possible directions, and opportunities in this field for the future outlook.

Abstract
Lithium metal is considered as a strongly attractive anode candidate for the high-energy-storage field, but its dreadful dendrite growth has haunted its commercialization progress. Herein, we develop a lithiophilic Nb2O5-embedded three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanofiber network (Nb2O5-CNF) as a scaffold to preload molten Li for the fabrication of dendrite-free composite anode. The in situ lithiation reaction between molten Li and Nb2O5 nanocrystals results in the formation of nanosize LixNbyO nanoparticles, which can serve as preferred sites that regulate nucleation/growth behavior of Li during the plating process. Besides, due to its high structural stability and abundant internal inner space, the 3D CNF network can function as a reservoir to confine the dimensional expansion of "hostless Li". The resulting Li composite anodes exhibit enlarged active areas and reduced interfacial energy barriers, delivering a prolonged cycling of 1000 h with an ultralow hysteresis of 52 mV and dendrite-free morphology in a symmetric cell (1.0 mA cm-2). Coupled with the LiFePO4 cathode, the Li@Nb2O5-CNF anode sustains a reversible capacity of 163 mAh g-1 with an excellent capacity retention of 93.0% after 370 cycles at 0.5C. This all-around strategy of lithiophilic sites coupled with a 3D conductive nanofiber matrix may shed light on promising applications of high-capacity and dendrite-free Li-metal batteries.

Abstract
Flexible and stretchable supercapacitors (FS-SCs) are promising energy storage devices for wearable electronics due to their versatile flexibility/stretchability, long cycle life, high power density, and safety. Transition metal compounds (TMCs) can deliver a high capacitance and energy density when applied as pseudocapacitive or battery-like electrode materials owing to their large theoretical capacitance and faradaic charge-storage mechanism. The recent development of TMCs (metal oxides/hydroxides, phosphides, sulfides, nitrides, and selenides) as electrode materials for FS-SCs are discussed here. First, fundamental energy-storage mechanisms of distinct TMCs, various flexible and stretchable substrates, and electrolytes for FS-SCs are presented. Then, the electrochemical performance and features of TMC-based electrodes for FS-SCs are categorically analyzed. The gravimetric, areal, and volumetric energy density of SC using TMC electrodes are summarized in Ragone plots. More importantly, several recent design strategies for achieving high-performance TMC-based electrodes are highlighted, including material composition, current collector design, nanostructure design, doping/intercalation, defect engineering, phase control, valence tuning, and surface coating. Integrated systems that combine wearable electronics with FS-SCs are introduced. Finally, a summary and outlook on TMCs as electrodes for FS-SCs are provided.

Abstract
Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5)-based materials have been regarded as promising anodic materials for lithium-ion batteries due to their abundant crystalline phases and stable and safe lithium storage performances. However, there is a lack of systematic studies of the relationship among the crystal structures, electrochemical characteristics, and lithium storage mechanisms for the various Nb2O5 polymorphs. Herein, pure pseudohexagonal Nb2O5 (TT-Nb2O5), orthorhombic Nb2O5 (T-Nb2O5), tetragonal Nb2O5 (M-Nb2O5), and monoclinic Nb2O5 (H-Nb2O5) with three-dimensional interconnected structures are reported, which were synthesized via a hydrothermal method using the commercial filter paper as the structural template followed by specific annealing processes. Impressively, the TT- and T-Nb2O5 species both possess bronze-like phases with "room and pillar" structures, while M- and H-Nb2O5 ones are both in the Wadsley-Roth phases with crystallographic shear structures. Among the pristine Nb2O5 materials, H-Nb2O5 exhibits the highest initial specific capacity (270 mA h g-1), while T-Nb2O5 performs with the lowest (197 mA h g-1) at 0.02 A g-1, meaning that crystallographic shear structures provide more lithium storage sites. TT-Nb2O5 realizes the best rate capability (207 mA h g-1 at 0.02 A g-1 and 103 mA h g-1 at 4.0 A g-1), indicating that the "room and pillar" crystal structures favor fast lithium storage. Electrochemical analyses reveal that the TT- and T-Nb2O5 phases with "room and pillar" crystal structures utilize a pseudocapacitive intercalation mechanism, while the M- and H-Nb2O5 phases with the Wadsley-Roth shear structures follow a typical battery-type intercalation mechanism. A fresh insight into the further understanding of the intercalation pseudocapacitance on the basis of the unit cells of the electrode materials and a meaningful guidance for crystalline structural design/construction of the electrode materials for the next-generation LIBs are thus provided.

Abstract
Fibers made from CNTs (CNT fibers) have the potential to form high-strength, lightweight materials with superior electrical conductivity. CNT fibers have attracted great attention in relation to various applications, in particular as conductive electrodes in energy applications, such as capacitors, lithium-ion batteries, and solar cells. Among these, wire-shaped supercapacitors demonstrate various advantages for use in lightweight and wearable electronics. However, making electrodes with uniform structures and desirable electrochemical performances still remains a challenge. In this study, dry-spun CNT fibers from CNT carpets were homogeneously loaded with MnO2 nanoflakes through the treatment of KMnO4. These functionalized fibers were systematically characterized in terms of their morphology, surface and mechanical properties, and electrochemical performance. The resulting MnO2-CNT fiber electrode showed high specific capacitance (231.3 F/g) in a Na2SO4 electrolyte, 23 times higher than the specific capacitance of the bare CNT fibers. The symmetric wire-shaped supercapacitor composed of CNT-MnO2 fiber electrodes and a PVA/H3PO4 electrolyte possesses an energy density of 86 nWh/cm and good cycling performance. Combined with its light weight and high flexibility, this CNT-based wire-shaped supercapacitor shows promise for applications in flexible and wearable energy storage devices.

Abstract
Ordered mesoporous metal oxides with a high specific surface area, tailored porosity and engineered interfaces are promising materials for electrochemical applications. In particular, the method of evaporation-induced self-assembly allows the formation of nanocrystalline films of controlled thickness on polar substrates. In general, mesoporous materials have the advantage of benefiting from a unique combination of structural, chemical and physical properties. This Perspective article addresses the structural characteristics and the electrical (charge-transport) properties of mesoporous metal oxides and how these affect their application in energy storage, catalysis and gas sensing.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is one potential solution to the energy and environmental crisis and greatly relies on the development of the catalysts. Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5), a typically nontoxic metal oxide, is eco-friendly and exhibits strong oxidation ability, and has attracted considerable attention from researchers. Furthermore, unique Lewis acid sites (LASs) and Brønsted acid sites (BASs) are observed on Nb2O5 prepared by different methods. Herein, the recent advances in the synthesis and application of Nb2O5-based photocatalysts, including the pure Nb2O5, doped Nb2O5, metal species supported on Nb2O5, and other composited Nb2O5 catalysts, are summarized. An overview is provided for the role of size and crystalline phase, unsaturated Nb sites and oxygen vacancies, LASs and BASs, dopants and surface metal species, and heterojunction structure on the Nb2O5-based catalysts in photocatalysis. Finally, the challenges are also presented, which are possibly overcome by integrating the synthetic methodology, developing novel photoelectric characterization techniques, and a profound understanding of the local structure of Nb2O5.

Abstract
Owing to the high power density and ultralong cycle life, supercapacitors represent an alternative to electrochemical batteries in energy storage applications. However, the relatively low energy density is the main challenge for supercapacitors in the current drive to push the entire technology forward to meet the benchmark requirements for commercialization. To effectively solve this issue, it is crucial to develop electrode materials with excellent electrochemical performance since the electrode used is closely related to the specific capacitance and energy density of supercapacitors. With the unique structure, compositional flexibility, and inherent oxygen vacancy, perovskite oxides have attracted wide attention as promising electrode materials for supercapacitors. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in perovskite oxides as electrode materials for supercapacitors. Firstly, the structures and compositions of perovskite oxides are critically reviewed. Following this, the progress in various perovskite oxides, including single perovskite and derivative perovskite oxides, is depicted, focusing on their electrochemical performance. Furthermore, several optimization strategies (i.e., modulating the stoichiometry of the anion or cation, A-site doping, B-site doping, and constructing composites) to improve their electrochemical performance are also discussed. Finally, the significant challenges facing the advancement of perovskite oxide electrodes for supercapacitor applications and future outlook are proposed.

Abstract
The advanced energy storage of an Li metal substituted for graphite anode can provide a significant enhancement in a battery's energy density. Nevertheless, the practical implementation of metallic Li has seriously been fettered by the notorious Li dendrite growth and the huge volumetric variation of Li metal inducing poor cycling performance and safety concerns. In this regard, constructing a robust SEI layer combined with a 3D host to stabilize the Li metal is strongly in demand. Herein, a highly stable hosted Li with an LiF dominated SEI has successfully been achieved through metal-free fluorinated carbon fibers (FCF) with strong lithiophilicity. The metal-free design is cost-effective and can retain the energy density of the Li metal, minimizing the unnecessary energy sacrifice from the extra high gravimetric density lithiophilic sites. The FCF hosted Li delivers a promoted high Coulombic efficiency, homogeneous Li deposition, and ultrahigh rate stable cycling over 1000 cycles at 20 mA cm-2 with a much lower voltage polarization (≈220 mV). Moreover, half cells coupled with LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 , sulfur or even thick LiCoO2 cathode demonstrate superior rate performances and enhanced cycling stability even under a lean electrolyte. This work proves the feasibility of FCF hosted Li for practical usage and provides a novel approach toward cost-effective and high performance lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Today, two-dimensional materials for use in energy devices have attracted the attention of researchers. Molybdenum disulfide is promising as an electrode material with unique physical properties and a high exposed surface area. However, there are still problems that need to be addressed. In this study, we prepared a hybrid containing MoS2, Fe3O4, and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by a two-step hydrothermal method. This nanocomposite is well structurally and morphologically identified, and its electrochemical performance is then evaluated for use in supercapacitors. According to the galvanostatic charge-discharge results, this nanocomposite shows a good specific capacity, equivalent to 527 F g-1 at 0.5 mA cm-2. The results of the multi-cycle stability test (5000 cycles) indicate a significant stability rate capability, with 93% of the electrode capacity remaining after 5000 cycles. The reason for this could be the synergistic effect between rGO and MoS2 as well as between molybdenum and iron in the faradic reaction in the charge storage process. Fe3O4 and MoS2 provide electroactive sites for the faradic process and electrolyte accessibility and rGO supply conductivity.

Abstract
Pseudo-capacitive mechanisms can provide higher energy densities than electrical double-layer capacitors while being faster than bulk storage mechanisms. Usually, they suffer from low intrinsic electronic and ion conductivities of the active materials. Here, taking advantage of the combination of TiS2 decoration, sulfur doping, and a nanometer-sized structure, as-spun TiO2/C nanofiber composites are developed that enable rapid transport of sodium ions and electrons, and exhibit enhanced pseudo-capacitively dominated capacities. At a scan rate of 0.5 mV s-1, a high pseudo-capacitive contribution (76% of the total storage) is obtained for the S-doped TiS2/TiO2/C electrode (termed as TiS2/S-TiO2/C). Such enhanced pseudo-capacitive activity allows rapid chemical kinetics and significantly improves the high-rate sodium storage performance of TiO2. The TiS2/S-TiO2/C composite electrode delivers a high capacity of 114 mAh g-1 at a current density of 5000 mA g-1. The capacity maintains at high level (161 mAh g-1) even after 1500 cycles and is still characterized by 58 mAh g-1 at the extreme condition of 10,000 mA g-1 after 10,000 cycles.

Abstract
Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) has attracted great attention as an anode for lithium-ion battery, which is attributed to the high-rate and good stability performances. In this work, TT-, T-, M-, and H-Nb2O5 microspheres were synthesized by a facile one-step thermal oxidation method. Ion and electron transport properties of Nb2O5 with different phases were investigated by both electrochemical analyses and density functional theoretical calculations. Without nanostructuring and carbon modification, the tetragonal Nb2O5 (M-Nb2O5) displays preferable rate capability (121 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1), enhanced reversible capacity (163 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1) and better cycling stability (82.3% capacity retention after 1000 cycles) when compared with TT-, T-, and H-Nb2O5. Electrochemical analyses further reveal the diffusion-controlled Li+ intercalation kinetics and in-situ X-ray diffraction analysis indicates superior structural stability upon Li+ intercalation/deintercalation. Benefiting from the intrinsic fast ion/electron transport, a high areal capacity of 2.24 mAh cm-2 is obtained even at an ultrahigh mass loading of 22.51 mg cm-2. This work can promote the development of Nb2O5 materials for high areal capacity and stable lithium storage towards practical applications.

Abstract
Emerging technologies, such as portable electronics, have had a huge impact on societal norms, such as access to real time information. To perform these tasks, portable electronic devices need more and more accessories for the processing and dispensation of the data, resulting in higher demand for energy and power. To overcome this problem, a low cost high-performing flexible fiber shaped asymmetric supercapacitor was fabricated, exploiting 3D-spinel manganese oxide Mn3O4 as cathode and 2D molybdenum disulfide MoS2 as anode. These asymmetric supercapacitors with stretched operating voltage window of 1.8 V exhibit high specific capacitance and energy density, good rate capability and cyclic stability after 3000 cycles, with a capacitance retention of more than 80%. This device has also shown an excellent bending stability at different bending conditions.

Abstract
The potential energy contained in the controlled mixing of waters with different salt concentrations (i.e., salinity gradient energy) can theoretically provide a substantial fraction of the global electrical demand. One method for generating electricity from salinity gradients is to use electrode-based reactions in electrochemical cells. Here, we examined the relationship between the electrical power densities generated from synthetic NaCl solutions and the crystal structures and morphologies of manganese oxides, which undergo redox reactions coupled to sodium ion uptake and release. Our aim was to make progress toward developing rational frameworks for selecting electrode materials used to harvest salinity gradient energy. We synthesized 12 manganese oxides having different crystal structures and particle sizes and measured the power densities they produced in a concentration flow cell fed with 0.02 and 0.5 M NaCl solutions. Power production varied considerably among the oxides, ranging from no power produced (β-MnO2) to 1.18 ± 0.01 W/m2 (sodium manganese oxide). Power production correlated with the materials' specific capacities, suggesting that cyclic voltammetry may be a simple method to screen possible materials. The highest power densities were achieved with manganese oxides capable of intercalating sodium ions when their potentials were prepoised prior to power production.

Abstract
In the past decade, the rapid development of portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and electrical devices has stimulated extensive interest in fundamental research and the commercialization of electrochemical energy-storage systems. Biomass-derived carbon has garnered significant research attention as an efficient, inexpensive, and eco-friendly active material for energy-storage systems. Therefore, high-performance carbonaceous materials, derived from renewable sources, have been utilized as electrode materials in sodium-ion batteries and sodium-ion capacitors. Herein, the charge-storage mechanism and utilization of biomass-derived carbon for sodium storage in batteries and capacitors are summarized. In particular, the structure-performance relationship of biomass-derived carbon for sodium storage in the form of batteries and capacitors is discussed. Despite the fact that further research is required to optimize the process and application of biomass-derived carbon in energy-storage devices, the current review demonstrates the potential of carbonaceous materials for next-generation sodium-related energy-storage applications.

Abstract
Highly ordered superstructures of semiconductor nanocrystals contain abundant nanometer-scale pores between the crystals; however, there have been difficulties in controlling the size and orientation of these nanospaces without the use of a template or a capping reagent. This constraint has affected their development and applications in potential fields including catalysis and optoelectronics adversely. In this study, we synthesized a rod-shaped TiO2 mesocrystal (TMC) having a length of a few hundreds of micrometers and comprising regularly ordered anatase TiO2 nanocrystals that form oriented nanospaces by exposed {001} facets. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations of electric fields and in situ fluorescence imaging with a polarization sensitive dye on a single mesocrystal were performed to reveal anisotropic adsorption and excitation of the dyes. Furthermore, the photodegradation of the dyes was found to be more facilitated in nanospaces formed by the specific facets, as compared with the dyes randomly adsorbed on the outer surfaces. Consequently, the selectivity of photocatalytic reactions based on the molecular size and redox was enhanced by introducing the concept of oriented nanospace.

Abstract
Microwave heating provides an efficient method to rapidly heat materials through interaction of microwaves with the media. Here, we demonstrate the rapid synthesis of mesoporous cobalt oxide films through the heating of the silicon substrate by microwaves. A non-sol-gel approach based on cobalt nitrate-citric acid complex cooperative assembly with a poly[methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)methacrylate]-block-poly(butyl acrylate) (PMPEGMA-b-PBA) block copolymer was used to fabricate the cobalt oxide through a cobalt carbonate intermediate. The time required to convert cobalt carbonate to cobalt oxide with the full removal of the PMPEGMA-b-PBA template can be decreased by two orders of magnitude with microwaves in comparison to standard heating in a furnace at 350 °C. At the highest microwave power examined (1500 W), this can be accomplished within 2 s, while >5 min is required at 350 °C in a furnace. At a microwave power of <400 W, there is insufficient energy to induce the transition from carbonate to oxide, but even at only 420 W, the oxide can be formed within 26 s. The rapid heating by the microwaves tends to increase the crystallinity and mean crystal size of the cobalt oxide within the mesoporous films. Despite the growth of larger average crystals, the pore size and porosity tend to be larger when the film is processed using microwaves. Higher microwave power leads to larger average crystals and average pore size. These results suggest that rapid processing to crystallize frameworks in mesoporous materials may allow for highly crystalline frameworks without loss of the templated mesostructure.

Abstract
The electrochemical properties and performances of lithium-ion batteries are primarily governed by their constituent electrode materials, whose intrinsic thermodynamic and kinetic properties are understood as the determining factor. As a part of complementing the intrinsic material properties, the strategy of nanosizing has been widely applied to electrodes to improve battery performance. It has been revealed that this not only improves the kinetics of the electrode materials but is also capable of regulating their thermodynamic properties, taking advantage of nanoscale phenomena regarding the changes in redox potential, solid-state solubility of the intercalation compounds, and reaction paths. In addition, the nanosizing of materials has recently enabled the discovery of new energy storage mechanisms, through which unexplored classes of electrodes could be introduced. Herein, we review the nanoscale phenomena discovered or exploited in lithium-ion battery chemistry thus far and discuss their potential implications, providing opportunities to further unveil uncharted electrode materials and chemistries. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the nanoscale phenomena presently employed in battery applications and suggest strategies to overcome these limitations.

Abstract
Currently, there is considerable interest in developing advanced rechargeable batteries that boast efficient distribution of electricity and economic feasibility for use in large-scale energy storage systems. Rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries in terms of rate performance, cost, and safety. In this investigation, we employ Cu3(HHTP)2, a two-dimensional (2D) conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) with large one-dimensional channels, as a zinc battery cathode. Owing to its unique structure, hydrated Zn2+ ions which are inserted directly into the host structure, Cu3(HHTP)2, allow high diffusion rate and low interfacial resistance which enable the Cu3(HHTP)2 cathode to follow the intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism. Cu3(HHTP)2 exhibits a high reversible capacity of 228 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1. At a high current density of 4000 mA g-1 (~18 C), 75.0% of the initial capacity is maintained after 500 cycles. These results provide key insights into high-performance, 2D conductive MOF designs for battery electrodes.

Abstract
Graphene electrode-based supercapacitors are in high demand due to their superior electrochemical characteristics. A major bottleneck of using the supercapacitors for commercial applications lies in their inferior electrode cycle life. Herein, a simple and facile method to fabricate highly efficient supercapacitor electrodes using pristine graphene sheets vertically stacked and electrically connected to the carbon fibers which can result in vertically aligned graphene-carbon fiber nanostructure is developed. The vertically aligned graphene-carbon fiber electrode prepared by electrophoretic deposition possesses a mesoporous 3D architecture which enabled faster and efficient electrolyte-ion diffusion with a gravimetric capacitance of 333.3 F g-1 and an areal capacitance of 166 mF cm-2 . The electrodes displayed superlong electrochemical cycling stability of more than 100 000 cycles with 100% capacitance retention hence promising for long-lasting supercapacitors. Apart from the electrochemical double layer charge storage, the oxygen-containing surface moieties and α-Ni(OH)2 present on the graphene sheets enhance the charge storage by faradaic reactions. This enables the assembled device to provide an excellent gravimetric energy density of 76 W h kg-1 with a 100% capacitance retention even after 1000 bending cycles. This study opens the door for developing high-performing flexible graphene electrodes for wearable energy storage applications.

Abstract
This question and its implications are discussed in detail.
The two main types of charge storage devices – batteries and double layer charging capacitors – can be unambiguously distinguished from one another by the shape and scan rate dependence of their cyclic voltammetric current–potential (CV) responses. This is not the case with “pseudocapacitors” and with the notion of “pseudocapacitance”, as originally put forward by Conway et al. After insisting on the necessity of precisely defining “pseudocapacitance” as involving faradaic processes and having, at the same time, a capacitive signature, we discuss the modelling of “pseudocapacitive” responses, revisiting Conway's derivations and analysing critically the other contributions to the subject, leading unmistakably to the conclusion that “pseudocapacitors” are actually true capacitors and that “pseudocapacitance” is a basically incorrect notion. Taking cobalt oxide films as a tutorial example, we describe the way in which a (true) electrical double layer is built upon oxidation of the film in its insulating state up to an ohmic conducting state. The lessons drawn at this occasion are used to re-examine the classical oxides, RuO2, MnO2, TiO2, Nb2O5 and other examples of putative “pseudocapacitive” materials. Addressing the dynamics of charge storage—a key issue in the practice of power of the energy storage device—it is shown that ohmic potential drop in the pores is the governing factor rather than counter-ion diffusion as often asserted, based on incorrect diagnosis by means of scan rate variations in CV studies.

Abstract
It is well-known that in neutral and acidic aqueous electrolytes, MoS2 monolayers can store charges by adsorption of cations on to the electrode-electrolyte interface as its analog of graphene. Restricted by its low conductivity and the charge storage mechanism, the electrochemical performance of MoS2 monolayer supercapacitor electrode is not satisfactory. It is reported here that water bilayers absorbed on MoS2 monolayers can be involved in charge storage. One proton of each absorbed water molecule can intercalate/de-intercalate the water bilayers during charging/discharging in the alkaline aqueous electrolyte. For two water molecules are present for every Mo atom, the water bilayers can endow MoS2 monolayers an ultrahigh specific capacitance. In this paper, 1T phase MoS2 nanosheets with three monolayers were synthesized by hydrothermal reaction. It presents a specific capacitance of 1120 F g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 in KOH. As it is assembled with active carbon into a hybrid supercapacitor, the device has an energy density of 31.64 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 425 W kg-1, and gets a specific capacitance retention of 95.4% after 10,000 cycles at 2 A g-1.
