Abstract
Secondary non-aqueous magnesium-based batteries are a promising candidate for post-lithium-ion battery technologies. However, the uneven Mg plating behavior at the negative electrode leads to high overpotential and short cycle life. Here, to circumvent these issues, we report the preparation of a magnesium/black phosphorus (Mg@BP) composite and its use as a negative electrode for non-aqueous magnesium-based batteries. Via in situ and ex situ physicochemical measurements, we demonstrate that Mg ions are initially intercalated in black phosphorus two-dimensional structures, forming chemically stable MgxP intermediates. After the formation of the intermediates, Mg electrodeposition reaction became the predominant. When tested in the asymmetric coin cell configuration, the Mg@BP composite electrode allowed stable stripping/plating performances for 1600 h (800 cycles), a cumulative capacity of 3200 mAh cm-2, and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.98%. Assembly and testing of the Mg@BP | |nano-CuS coin cell enabled a discharge capacity of 398 mAh g-1 and an average cell discharge potential of about 1.15 V at a specific current of 560 mA g-1 with a low decay rate of 0.016% per cycle for 225 cycles at 25 °C.

Abstract
The design and preparation of anode materials with structural stability, fast ion transmission, and low open-circuit voltage are critical to the development of magnesium ion batteries (MIBs). The feasibility of the unique phase Haeckelite MoS2 (Hae-MoS2) monolayer with Haeckelite structure as a potential anode material for MIBs was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The Hae-MoS2 monolayer exhibits excellent structural stability and semimetallic characteristics with a Dirac cone located at the Gamma point of band structure. Mg ion is easily adsorbed on the Hae-MoS2 monolayer surface with an adsorption energy of -2.06 eV and can diffuse rapidly with a low diffusion energy barrier (0.3 eV), indicating excellent charge and discharge rates. Most importantly, the Hae-MoS2 monolayer exhibits a suitable open-circuit voltage, which falls within the desired voltage range and ensures the safety of battery performance. These exceptional properties indicate that the Hae-MoS2 monolayer can be proposed as a candidate for anode material for MIBs.

Abstract
Phosphorene has been widely used as anode material for batteries. However, the huge volume change during charging and discharging process, the semiconductor properties, and the high open circuit voltage limit its application. Based on this, by introducing the electron-deficient boron atoms into blue phosphorene, we proposed a P-rich sandwich-like BP4monolayer by density functional theory calculation and particle swarm optimization. The BP4monolayer shows good thermodynamic and dynamic stability, as well as chemical stability in O2atmosphere, mainly due to the strengthened P-P bond of the outer layer by the middle boron atoms adoptingsp3hybridization. According to the band structure, the BP4monolayer shows metallic property, which is beneficial to electron conductivity. Furthermore, compared with blue phosphorene and black phosphorene, the P-rich BP4monolayer shows higher theoretical capacity for Li, Na, and K of 1193.90, 1119.28, and 397.97 mA h g-1, respectively. The lattice constant of BP4monolayer increases only 3.73% (Li), 2.52% (Na) after Li/Na fully adsorbed on the anode. More importantly, the wettability of BP4monolayer in the electrolyte is comparable to that of graphene. These findings show that the stable sandwich-like BP4monolayer has potential as a lightweight anode material.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP) has attracted much attention due to its excellent physiochemical properties. However, due to its biodegradability and simple antibacterial mechanism, using only BP nanomaterials to combat bacterial infections caused by drug-resistant pathogens remains a significant challenge. In order to improve the antibacterial efficiency and avoid the emergence of drug resistance, BP nanomaterials have been combined with other functional materials to form black phosphorus-based antibacterial nanoplatform (BPANP), which provides unprecedented opportunities for the treatment of drug-resistant infections. This article reviews the performance of BPANP and its multiple antibacterial mechanisms while emphatically introducing its design direction and latest application progress in antibacterial fields. Moreover, this paper additionally summarizes and discusses the current challenges and inadequacies of BPANP that need to be improved in future research. We believe that this review will provide researchers with an up-to-date and multifaceted reference, and provide new ideas for designing effective strategies against drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Li-alloying reactions facilitate the incorporation of a large number of Li atoms into the crystalline structures of electrodes, such as black phosphorus (BP). However, the reactions inevitably induce multistep phase transitions characterized by drastic atomic rearrangements and lattice collapse. Despite many theoretical and experimental studies on alloying mechanisms, long-term debates persist regarding the structures of the intermediate phases, the accurate pathways of phase transitions, the formation of specific configurations, and alloying/dealloying reversibility. Here, through a combination of operando electron diffraction measurements and ab initio simulations at the atomic and electronic scales, we identify key factors that govern the severe structural changes during alloying-dealloying reactions in BP. P-P bonds of three-bond P atoms are continuously broken during lithiation, generating two-bond P atoms with a high ability to accept inserted electrons and Li ions. Consequently, the pristine layered structure in BP is transformed to P7 cages in Li3P7, which then evolve to chain configurations in LiP and finally to isolated P atoms in Li3P. Specifically, the preferential formation of the P7 cage results from its lowest binding energy with three Li ions compared to other cage isomers. Furthermore, only LiP can be reversibly transformed to the crystalline structure of Li3P7 during charge, but it is thermodynamically favorable for Li3P7 and Li3P intermediates to be delithiated to amorphous structures. Our findings offer unique insights into the alloying mechanisms and deepen the fundamental understanding of alloying anode systems.

Abstract
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have exhibited huge potential as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Most of them usually store sodium via an intercalation-conversion mechanism, but niobium sulfide (NbS2) may be an exception. Herein, through in situ transmission electron microscopy, we carefully investigated the insertion behaviors of Na ions in NbS2 and directly visualized anisotropic sodiation kinetics. Lattice-resolution imaging coupled with density functional theory calculations reveals the preferential diffusion of Na ions within layers of NbS2, accompanied by observable interlayer lattice expansion. Impressively, the Na-inserted layers can still withstand in situ mechanical testing. Further in situ observation vertical to the a/b plane of NbS2 tracked the illusive conversion reaction, which could result from interlayer gliding or wrinkling associated with stress accumulation. In situ electron diffraction measurements ruled out the possibility of such a conversion mechanism and identified a phase transition from pristine 3R-NbS2 to 2H-NaNbS2. Therefore, the NbS2 anode stores Na ions via only the intercalation mechanism, which conceptually differs from the well-known intercalation-conversion mechanism of typical TMDs. These findings not only decipher the whole sodiation process of the NbS2 anode but also provide valuable reference for unraveling the precise sodium storage mechanism in other TMDs.

Abstract
The electrochemical properties of TiB4 and TiB5 monolayers in Na-ion batteries (NIBs) were studied by using the first-principles calculation method based on density functional theory. The TiB4/TiB5 monolayer showed excellent Na storage capacity, capable of adsorbing two layers of Na with theoretical capacities of 1176.77 and 1052.05 mA g-1, respectively. The average operating voltages of the TiB4 and TiB5 monolayers are 0.073 and 0.042 eV, respectively, indicating that they can be used as anode materials for NIBs. More interestingly, the exposed B surface not only brings a high theoretical capacity but also provides a relatively small diffusion barrier of 0.16 (for TiB4) and 0.33 eV (for TiB5), enhancing their rate capability in NIBs.

Abstract
Artificial heterostructures with structural advancements and customizable electronic interfaces are fundamental for achieving high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Here, a design idea for a covalently bonded lateral/vertical black phosphorus (BP)-graphdiyne oxide (GDYO) heterostructure achieved through a facile ball-milling approach, is designed. Lateral heterogeneity is realized by the sp2-hybridized mode P-C bonds, which connect the phosphorus atoms at the edges of BP with the carbon atoms of the terminal acetylene in GDYO. The vertical connection of the heterojunction of BP and GDYO is connected by P-O-C bond. Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that BP-GDYO incorporates interfacial and structural engineering features, including built-in electric fields, chemical bond interactions, and maximized nanospace confinement effects. Therefore, BP-GDYO exhibits improved electrochemical kinetics and enhanced structural stability. Moreover, through ex- and in-situ studies, the lithiation mechanism of BP-GDYO, highlighting that the introduction of GDYO inhibits the shuttle/dissolution effect of phosphorus intermediates, hinders volume expansion, provides more reactive sites, and ultimately promotes reversible lithium storage, is clarified. The BP-GDYO anode exhibits lithium storage performance with high-rate capacity and long-cycle stability (602.6 mAh g-1 after 1 000 cycles at 2.0 A g-1). The proposed interfacial and structural engineering is universal and represents a conceptual advance in building high-performance LIBs electrode.

Abstract
Structural symmetry breaking plays a pivotal role in fine-tuning the properties of nano-layered materials. Here, based on the first-principles approaches we propose a Janus monolayer of metallic CoSb by breaking the out-of-plane structural symmetry. Specifically, within the CoSb monolayer by replacing the top-layer 'Sb' with 'As' atoms entirely, the Janus Co2AsSb monolayer can be formed, whose structure is confirmed via structural optimization and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Notably, the Janus Co2AsSb monolayer demonstrates stability at an elevated temperature of 1200 K, surpassing the stability of the CoSb monolayer, which remains stable only up to 900 K. We propose that both the CoSb and Janus Co2AsSb monolayers could serve as capable anode materials for power-driven metal-ion batteries, owing to their substantial theoretical capacity and robust binding strength. The theoretical specific capacities for Li/Na reach up to 1038.28/1186.60 mA h g-1 for CoSb, while Janus Co2AsSb demonstrates a marked improvement in electrochemical storage capacity of 3578.69/2215.38 mA h g-1 for Li/Na, representing a significant leap forward in this domain. The symmetry-breaking effect upgrades the CoSb monolayer, as a more viable contender for power-driven metal-ion batteries. Furthermore, electronic structure calculations indicate a notable charge transfer that augments the metallic nature, which would boost electrical conductivity. These simulations demonstrate that the CoSb and Janus Co2AsSb monolayers have immense potential for application in the design of metal-ion battery technologies.

Abstract
CONTEXT In this paper, the effects of torsional deformation on the electronic properties of intrinsic WSe2 system and Ca-adsorbed WSe2 system were systematically studied by first-principles method. The results show that Ca can be stably adsorbed on the vacancy (H site) of WSe2 surface in all deformation systems, and the adsorption energy of the system without deformation is the highest. Intrinsic WSe2 is a semiconductor with a direct band gap of 1.53 eV. The torsional deformation makes WSe2 change from a direct band gap semiconductor to an indirect band gap semiconductor and finally to a metal property. The adsorption of Ca makes the conduction band of WSe2 move down and increases the number of peaks in the conduction band region. The new density of state peaks are mainly derived from the contribution of W-d, Se-p, and d orbitals of adsorbed atoms in each adsorption system. Mulliken charge analysis shows that Ca transfers most of the valence electrons to the substrate, and the torsional deformation changes the amount of transferred charge. The twist deformation reduces the diffusion barrier of Ca on WSe2 surface from 0.20 to 0.14 eV. The above results provide a basis for the improved application of WSe2 in ion batteries. METHODS In this study, all the first-principles calculations are based on Materials Studio 8.0 software package. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) is used for the electron exchange correlation interactions in all systems. The optimization algorithm uses Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) to optimize the model structure and calculate the energy. The measured cutoff energy is optimized to 450 eV, and the radius of the vacuum layer in the Z-axis direction is 20 Å. The K-point of 7 × 7 × 1 is selected by Monkhorst-Pack method. The structural optimization criterion is selected, the convergence radius of the force is 0.01 eV/Å, and the displacement radius between atoms is within 0.001 Å distance. The energy convergence radius of each atom is less than 1.0 × 10-6 eV/atom.

Abstract
Fast-charging batteries are highly sought after. However, the current battery industry has used carbon as the preferred anode, which can suffer from dendrite formation problems at high current density, causing failure after prolonged cycling and posing safety hazards. The phosphorus (P) anode is being considered as a promising successor to graphite due to its safe lithiation potential, low ion diffusion energy barrier, and high theoretical storage capacity. Since 2019, fast-charging P-based anodes have realized the goals of extreme fast charging (XFC), which enables a 10 min recharging time to deliver a capacity retention larger than 80%. Rechargeable battery technologies that use P-based anodes, along with high-capacity conversion-type cathodes or high-voltage insertion-type cathodes, have thus garnered substantial attention from both the academic and industry communities. In spite of this activity, there remains a rather sparse range of high-performance and fast-charging P-based cell configurations. Herein, we first systematically examine four challenges for fast-charging P-based anodes, including the volumetric variation during the cycling process, the electrode interfacial instability, the dissolution of polyphosphides, and the long-lasting P/electrolyte side reactions. Next, we summarize a range of strategies with the potential to circumvent these challenges and rationally control electrochemical reaction processes at the P anode. We also consider both binders and electrode structures. We also propose other remaining issues and corresponding strategies for the improvement and understanding of the fast-charging P anode. Finally, we review and discuss the existing full cell configurations based on P anodes and forecast the potential feasibility of recycling spent P-based full cells according to the trajectory of recent developments in batteries. We hope this review affords a fresh perspective on P science and engineering toward fast-charging energy storage devices.

Abstract
With the urgent need for efficient energy storage devices, significant attention has been directed to researching and developing promising anode materials for metal-ion batteries. Through density functional study, we successfully predicted the electrochemical performance of P3S and C3S monolayers for the first time, which could be used in alkali metal (Li, Na, and K)-ion batteries. Our study examines the energetic, dynamic, and thermal stabilities of pristine monolayers. The electronic structures of the pristine nanosheets are wide-gap semiconductors. After single metalation on the monolayers, the composite systems become metallic. Charge-density difference (CDD) analysis indicates that charge transfer occurs from alkali metal atoms to the P3S and C3S monolayers, and Bader charge analysis quantifies the amount of charge transfer. We analyzed how readily a single adatom diffuses within the 2D structures. One example is the diffusion of K on C3S, which has a low barrier value of 0.06 eV and seems practically barrierless. Our predicted composite systems report considerable theoretical storage capacity (C); for example, hexalayer K-adsorbed C3S shows a storage capacity of 1182.79 mA h g-1. The estimated open-circuit voltage (OCV) values suggest that the C3S monolayer is a promising anode material for Li-, Na-, and K-ion batteries, whereas the P3S monolayer is suitable as a cathode material for Li-, Na-, and K-ion batteries.

Abstract
The best choice today for a realistic method of increasing the energy density of a metal-ion battery is to find novel, effective electrode materials. In this paper, we present a theoretical investigation of the properties of hitherto unreported two-dimensional B3 C5 and N3 C5 bilayer systems as potential anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The simulation results show that N3 C5 bilayer is not suitable for anode material due to its thermal instability. On the other hand B3 C5 is stable, has good electrical conductivity, and is intrinsically metallic before and after lithium intercalation. The low diffusion barrier (0.27 eV) of Li atoms shows a good charge and discharge rate for B3 C5 bilayer. Moreover, the high theoretical specific capacity (579.57 mAh/g) connected with moderate volume expansion effect during charge/discharge processes indicates that B3 C5 is a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
The research interest in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) has been surging due to the advantages of safety, abundance, and high electrochemical performance. However, some technique issues, such as dendrites, hydrogen evolution reaction, and corrosion, severely prohibit the development of AZIBs in practical utilizations. The underlying mechanisms regarding electrochemical performance deterioration and structure degradation are too complex to understand, especially when it comes to zinc metal anode-electrolyte interface. Recently, theoretical simulations and in situ characterizations have played a crucial role in AZIBs and are exploited to guide the research on electrolyte engineering and solid electrolyte interphase. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of the current state of the fundamental mechanisms involved in the zinc plating/stripping process and underscore the importance of theoretical simulations and in situ characterizations in mechanism research. Finally, we summarize the challenges and opportunities for AZIBs in practical applications, especially as a stationary energy storage and conversion device in a smart grid.

Abstract
High-performance sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) require anode materials with high capacity and fast kinetics. Based on first-principles calculations, we propose BC3N2 and BC3N2/graphene (B/G) heterostructure as potential SIB anode materials. The BC3N2 monolayer exhibits intrinsic metallic behavior. In addition, BC3N2 possesses a low Na+ diffusion barrier (0.15 eV), a high storage capacity (777 mA h g-1), a low open-circuit voltage (0.72 V), and a tiny axial expansion (0.36%). Compared with the BC3N2 monolayer, the B/G heterostructure exhibits a lower diffusion barrier of 0.027 eV, suggesting a much faster diffusion. More importantly, although the B/G heterostructure possesses heavier molar weight, its theoretical capacity (689 mA h g-1) is comparable to that of the BC3N2 monolayer. Based on the above-mentioned properties, we hope both the BC3N2 monolayer and the B/G heterostructure would be promising anodes for SIBs.

Abstract
The electron-phonon scattering plays a crucial role in determining the electronic, transport, optical, and thermal properties of materials. Here, we employ a non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation (NMSSE) in momentum space, together with ab initio calculations for energy bands and electron-phonon interactions, to reveal the phonon-mediated ultrafast hole relaxation dynamics in the valence bands of monolayer black phosphorus. Our numerical simulations show that the hole can initially remain in the high-energy valence bands for more than 100 fs due to the weak interband scatterings, and its energy relaxation follows single-exponential decay toward the valence band maximum after scattering into low-energy valence bands. The total relaxation time of holes is much longer than that of electrons in the conduction band. This suggests that harnessing the excess energy of holes may be more effective than that of electrons. Compared to the semiclassical Boltzmann equation based on a hopping model, the NMSSE highlights the persistence of quantum coherence for a long time, which significantly impacts the relaxation dynamics. These findings complement the understanding of hot carrier relaxation dynamics in two-dimensional materials and may offer novel insights into harnessing hole energy in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc (Zn) ion batteries (AZIBs) have not yet fulfilled their talent of high safety and low cost since the anode/electrolyte interface (AEI) has long been impeded by hydrogen evolution, surface corrosion, dendritic growth, and by-product accumulation. Here, the hydrolysis of solid buffers is elaborately proposed to comprehensively and enduringly handle these issues. Take 2D layered black phosphorus (BP) as a hydrolytic subject. It is reported that the phosphoric acid generated by hydrolysis in an aqueous electrolyte produces a zinc phosphate (ZPO) rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, which largely inhibits the dendrite growth, surface corrosion, and hydrogen evolution. Meanwhile, the hydrolytic phosphoric acid stabilizes the pH value near AEI, avoiding the accumulation of alkaline by-products. Notably, compared with the disposable ZPO engineerings of anodic SEI pre-construction and electrolyte additive, the hydrolysis strategy of BP can realize a dramatically prolonged protective effect. As a result, these multiple merits endow BP modified separator to achieve improved stripping/plating stability toward Zn anode with more than ten times lifespan enhancement in Zn||Zn symmetrical cell. More encouragingly, when coupled with a V2 O5 ·nH2 O cathode with ultra-high loadings (34.1 and 28.7 mg cm-2 ), the cumulative capacities are remarkably promoted for both coin and pouch cells.

Abstract
"Fast-charging" lithium-ion batteries have gained a multitude of attention in recent years since they could be applied to energy storage areas like electric vehicles, grids, and subsea operations. Unfortunately, the excellent energy density could fail to sustain optimally while lithium-ion batteries are exposed to fast-charging conditions. In actuality, the crystal structure of electrode materials represents the critical factor for influencing the electrode performance. Accordingly, employing anode materials with low diffusion barrier could improve the "fast-charging" performance of the lithium-ion battery. In this Review, first, the "fast-charging" principle of lithium-ion battery and ion diffusion path in the crystal are briefly outlined. Next, the application prospects of "fast-charging" anode materials with various crystal structures are evaluated to search "fast-charging" anode materials with stable, safe, and long lifespan, solving the remaining challenges associated with high power and high safety. Finally, summarizing recent research advances for typical "fast-charging" anode materials, including preparation methods for advanced morphologies and the latest techniques for ameliorating performance. Furthermore, an outlook is given on the ongoing breakthroughs for "fast-charging" anode materials of lithium-ion batteries. Intercalated materials (niobium-based, carbon-based, titanium-based, vanadium-based) with favorable cycling stability are predominantly limited by undesired electronic conductivity and theoretical specific capacity. Accordingly, addressing the electrical conductivity of these materials constitutes an effective trend for realizing fast-charging. The conversion-type transition metal oxide and phosphorus-based materials with high theoretical specific capacity typically undergoes significant volume variation during charging and discharging. Consequently, alleviating the volume expansion could significantly fulfill the application of these materials in fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
Natural ores are abundant, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Ultrathin (2D) layers of a naturally abundant van der Waals mineral, Biotite, have been prepared in bulk via exfoliation. We report here that this 2D Biotene material has shown extraordinary Li-Na-ion battery anode properties with ultralong cycling stability. Biotene shows 302 and 141 mAh g-1 first cycle-specific charge capacity for Li- and Na-ion battery applications with ∼90% initial Coulombic efficiency. The electrode exhibits significantly extended cycling stability with ∼75% capacity retention after 4000 cycles even at higher current densities (500-2000 mA g-1). Further, density functional theory studies show the possible Li intercalation mechanism between the 2D Biotene layers. Our work brings new directions toward designing the next generation of metal-ion battery anodes.

Abstract
Layered MoSSe nanostructures have been shown as potential candidates for the anode of lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries. The diffusion properties are generally critical to the performance of ionic batteries. The possible migration paths and associated diffusion energy barriers of Li-ions are systematically explored in MoSSe bilayer anodes with different stacking patterns by means of first-principles simulations. It is found that the diffusion properties strongly depend on interfaces and stacking patterns. Furthermore, the simulation results show that the diffusion energy barrier (and thus the diffusion coefficient) can be significantly reduced (enlarged) by applying a positive strain gradient, while increased (reduced) by applying a negative one. For example, the diffusion coefficient is increased roughly by 100 times relative to that of the pristine one when subjected to a strain gradient of 0.02 Å-1. In particular, it is found that less maximum strain is required in the strain-gradient than the uniform strain in order to achieve the same diffusion energy barrier. By careful analysis, the underlying mechanism can be attributed to the flexo-diffusion coupling effect. The coupling strength is characterized by the so-called flexo-diffusion coupling constant which is also calculated for each simulation model. The results of this work may provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of the anodes of ionic batteries.

Abstract
Phosphorene is a 2D phosphorus atomic layer arranged in a honeycomb lattice like graphene but with a buckled structure. Since its exfoliation from black phosphorus in 2014, phosphorene has attracted tremendous research interest both in terms of synthesis and fundamental research, as well as in potential applications. Recently, significant attention in phosphorene is motivated not only by research on its fundamental physical properties as a novel 2D semiconductor material, such as tunable bandgap, strong in-plane anisotropy, and high carrier mobility, but also by the study of its wide range of potential applications, such as electronic, optoelectronic, and spintronic devices, energy conversion and storage devices. However, a lot of avenues remain to be explored including the fundamental properties of phosphorene and its device applications. This review recalls the current state of the art of phosphorene and its derivatives, touching upon topics on structure, synthesis, characterization, properties, stability, and applications. The current needs and future opportunities for phosphorene are also discussed.

Abstract
Experimental studies had shown that a variety of surface functional groups exist simultaneously on the surface of Ti3C2Tx MXenes. However, current theoretical calculations on MXenes, used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, consider only one surface functional group, which fails to take into account the actual situation. In this study, combining the characteristics of high-entropy materials and two-dimensional MXene material, a model of MXene with multiple surface functional groups was constructed, and its electrochemical performance as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries was further explored. The Ti3C2(N0.25O0.25F0.25S0.25)2 monolayer exhibited metallic properties. Meanwhile, Li atoms could be stably adsorbed on the surface and the diffusion energy barrier of Li on the surface was only 0.17 eV. First-principles calculation showed that Ti3C2(N0.25O0.25F0.25S0.25)2 monolayer had good rate performance and low open-circuit voltage (1 V), corresponding to a lithium storage capacity of 385.38 mA h g-1. The results of our work might inspire further studies on the Li storage performance of high-entropy MXenes experimentally and theoretically.

Abstract
Tetradymite compounds, such as Bi2Te3, crystallizing in rhombohedral structures have triggered tremendous research interest from the scientific community because of their intriguing properties. Herein, using the state-of-the-art first-principles calculations, we identify that La2X2Y (X = I, Br, Cl; Y = Ge, Te) nanosheets exhibit a ternary tetradymite-type structure with extraordinary electrical and electrochemical properties. It is first demonstrated that the layered La2X2Y compounds exhibit weak interlayer coupling with cleavage energies in the range of ∼0.28-0.38 J m-2, allowing the ready separation of monolayers that can be synthesized by mechanical exfoliation from their bulk counterparts. Next, we predict that La2X2Ge nanosheets exhibit a semiconducting nature, and upon physical realistic strain, a Dirac cone can be realized. These findings can be exploited in the transport properties. Furthermore, we comprehensively investigated the electrochemical properties of the predicted systems to evaluate their potential use in metal-ion (Li/Na) batteries. Our detailed analyses reveal that the Li (Na) adatoms are sufficiently mobile on the surface of the studied systems. For instance, the binding energy for the Li (Na) adatom on La2I2Ge is -2.24(-1.79) eV with a diffusion barrier of as small as ∼0.31(0.20) eV. Subsequently, the maximum theoretical specific capacity for Li (Na) reaches as high as 887(1064) mA h g-1, which can be attributed to a much higher storage capacity compared to previously identified 2D anode materials. These findings substantiate that the predicted nanosheets could be synthesized to explore their potential applications in future metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Black phosphorene (BP) is a glowing two-dimensional semiconducting layer material for cutting-edge microelectronics, with high carrier mobility and thickness-dependent band gap. Here, based on van der Waals (vdW)-corrected first-principles approaches, we investigated stacked BP/tin selenide (BP/SnSe) vdW heterostructure as an anode material for metal ion batteries, which exhibits a significant theoretical capacity, along with relatively durable binding strength compared to the constituent BP and SnSe monolayers. Our calculations demonstrated that the Li/Na adatom favors insertion into the interlayer region of BP/SnSe vdW heterostructure owing to synergistic interfacial effect, resulting in comparable diffusivity to the BP and SnSe monolayers. Subsequently, the theoretical specific capacities for Li/Na are found to be as high as 956.30 mAhg-1and 828.79 mAhg-1, respectively, which could be attributed to the much higher storage capacity of Li/Na adatoms in the BP/SnSe vdW heterostructure. Moreover, the electronic structure calculations reveal that a large amount of charge transfer assists in semiconductor-to-metallic transition upon lithiation/sodiation, ensuring good electrical conductivity. These simulations verify that the BP/SnSe vdW heterostructure has immense potential for application in the design of metal-ion battery technologies.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures have been proposed as potential anode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to their large surface areas and excellent electronic properties. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations to investigate the structural stability, electronic properties, and ion diffusion behaviors of 2D graphene/C2N lateral heterostructures. Three species of (5, 26), (11, 26), and (17, 26) heterostructures are chosen to explore the effects of graphene components on electronic properties. The results show that graphene/C2N lateral heterostructures exhibit good dynamic stability due to a small lattice mismatch and strong chemical interaction at the heterojunction interface. By introducing zero-gap graphene, these heterostructures acquire good electronic conductivity with small direct band gaps. The component ratio of graphene can significantly tune the band gap, showing a monotonic decrease as the ratio increases. Moreover, the introduction of C2N components can greatly improve the lithium capacities of heterostructures. Small diffusion energy barriers (0.257-0.273 eV) and a low average operating voltage of 0.758 V are observed in graphene/C2N heterostructures. The effects of graphene components and valence states on Li migration are discussed. Our results demonstrate that the graphene/C2N lateral heterostructure can effectively combine the advantages of graphene and the C2N monolayer, showing great promise as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The polymorphism of phosphorus-based materials has garnered much research interest, and the variable chemical bonding structures give rise to a variety of micro and nanostructures. Among the different types of materials containing phosphorus, elemental phosphorus materials (EPMs) constitute the foundation for the synthesis of related compounds. EPMs are experiencing a renaissance in the post-graphene era, thanks to recent advancements in the scaling-down of black phosphorus, amorphous red phosphorus, violet phosphorus, and fibrous phosphorus and consequently, diverse classes of low-dimensional sheets, ribbons, and dots of EPMs with intriguing properties have been produced. The nanostructured EPMs featuring tunable bandgaps, moderate carrier mobility, and excellent optical absorption have shown great potential in energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. It is thus important to have a good understanding of the differences and interrelationships among diverse EPMs, their intrinsic physical and chemical properties, the synthesis of specific structures, and the selection of suitable nanostructures of EPMs for particular applications. In this comprehensive review, we aim to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion of the fundamental physicochemical properties, synthesis, and applications of EPMs in the areas of energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. Our evaluations are based on recent literature on well-established phosphorus allotropes and theoretical predictions of new EPMs. The objective of this review is to enhance our comprehension of the characteristics of EPMs, keep abreast of recent advances, and provide guidance for future research of EPMs in the fields of chemistry and materials science.

Abstract
The development of electric vehicles has received worldwide attention in the background of reducing carbon emissions, wherein lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) become the primary energy supply systems. However, commercial graphite-based anodes in LIBs currently confront significant difficulty in enduring ultrahigh power input due to the slow Li+ transport rate and the low intercalation potential. This will, in turn, cause dramatic capacity decay and lithium plating. The 2D layered materials (2DLMs) recently emerge as new fast-charging anodes and hold huge promise for resolving the problems owing to the synergistic effect of a lower Li+ diffusion barrier, a proper Li+ intercalation potential, and a higher theoretical specific capacity with using them. In this review, the background and fundamentals of fast-charging for LIBs are first introduced. Then the research progress recently made for 2DLMs used for fast-charging anodes are elaborated and discussed. Some emerging research directions in this field with a short outlook on future studies are further discussed.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have emerged as one of the most attractive alternatives for post-lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, owing to their ultrahigh theoretical energy density. However, the large-scale application of Li-S batteries remains enormously problematic because of the poor cycling life and safety problems, induced by the low conductivity , severe shuttling effect, poor reaction kinetics, and lithium dendrite formation. In recent studies, catalytic techniques are reported to promote the commercial application of Li-S batteries. Compared with the conventional catalytic sites on host materials, quantum dots (QDs) with ultrafine particle size (<10 nm) can provide large accessible surface area and strong polarity to restrict the shuttling effect, excellent catalytic effect to enhance the kinetics of redox reactions, as well as abundant lithiophilic nucleation sites to regulate Li deposition. In this review, the intrinsic hurdles of S conversion and Li stripping/plating reactions are first summarized. More importantly, a comprehensive overview is provided of inorganic QDs, in improving the efficiency and stability of Li-S batteries, with the strategies including composition optimization, defect and morphological engineering, design of heterostructures, and so forth. Finally, the prospects and challenges of QDs in Li-S batteries are discussed.

Zhang S, Liu C. A Novel Two-Dimensional TiClO as a High-Performance Anode Material for Mg-Ion Batteries: A First-Principles Study. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16103876. [PMID: 37241503 DOI: 10.3390/ma16103876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Searching for efficient electrode materials with excellent electrochemical performance is of great significance to the development of magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs). Two-dimensional Ti-based materials are appealing for use in MIBs due to their high cycling capability. On the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we comprehensively investigate a novel two-dimensional Ti-based material, namely, TiClO monolayer, as a promising anode for MIBs. Monolayer TiClO can be exfoliated from its experimentally known bulk crystal with a moderate cleavage energy of 1.13 J/m2. It exhibits intrinsically metallic properties with good energetical, dynamical, mechanical, and thermal stabilities. Remarkably, TiClO monolayer possesses an ultra-high storage capacity (1079 mA h g-1), a low energy barrier (0.41-0.68 eV), and a suitable average open-circuit voltage (0.96 V). The lattice expansion for the TiClO monolayer is slight (<4.3%) during the Mg-ion intercalation. Moreover, bilayer and trilayer TiClO can considerably enhance the Mg binding strength and maintain the quasi-one-dimensional diffusion feature compared with monolayer TiClO. All these properties indicate that TiClO monolayers can be utilized as high-performance anodes for MIBs.

Abstract
By developing next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBS), demand for exploring novel anode materials with exclusive electrochemical features and ultra-high capacity is increasing. In the current research, first-principles theory, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to extensively investigate and compare the capability of three different borophene nanolayers, including striped, β12, and χ3 borophene, as a novel candidate for anode electrode in LIBs. We first predicted the most preferential Li atom adsorption sites on the three borophene structures. The predicted average formation energies for striped, β12, and χ3 borophene were obtained 3.123, 3.184, and 3.216 eV, respectively. The positive value of formation energy exhibits the sufficient stability of the structures. Moreover, the negative adsorption energy proved that Li atom insertion on all borophene monolayers is thermodynamically favorable. In order to simulate the lithiation process, we gradually increased the concentration of Li atoms. We found that the fully lithiated striped, β12 and χ3 borophenes could provide ultra-high specific capacities of 1700, 1983, and 1859 mAh/g, respectively. Structural analysis proved that the surface area expansion rate of the striped borophene in a fully lithiated state was 1%, which was lower than those of β12 and χ3 borophene with 3.33% and 2.63%, respectively. The analyses of electronic properties confirmed that borophenes were inherently metallic and superior ion conductive agents, even after fully lithiated state. Ion diffusion was studied using Nudged elastic band method and the value of diffusion energy barrier ranged from 0.03 to 0.36 eV which was lower than other promising 2D anode materials. Furthermore, open-circuit voltage results demonstrated that the electronic potential of modeled borophenes was low enough to be in the acceptable range of under 1.2V. All these reports exhibited that borophene nanolayers with excellent specific capacity and superior conductivity were desired candidates for anode materials of next generation LIBs.

Abstract
CONTEXT In recent years, undivided attention has been given to the unique properties of layered nitrogenated holey graphene (C2N) monolayers (C2NMLs), which have widespread applications (e.g., in catalysis and metal-ion batteries). Nevertheless, the scarcity and impurity of C2NMLs in experiments and the ineffective technique of adsorbing a single atom on the surface of C2NMLs have significantly limited their investigation and thus their development. Within this research study, we proposed a novel model, i.e., atom pair adsorption, to inspect the potential use of a C2NML anode material for KIBs through first-principles (DFT) computations. The maximum theoretical capacity of K ions reached 2397 mA h g-1, which was greater in contrast with that of graphite. The results of Bader charge analysis and charge density difference revealed the creation of channels between K atoms and the C2NML for electron transport, which increased the interactions between them. The fast process of charge and discharge in the battery was due to the metallicity of the complex of C2NML/K ions and because the diffusion barrier of K ions on the C2NML was low. Moreover, the C2NML has the advantages of great cycling stability and low open-circuit voltage (approximately 0.423 V). The current work can provide useful insights into the design of energy storage materials with high efficiency. METHODS In this research, we used B3LYP-D3 functional and 6-31 + G* basis with GAMESS program to calculate adsorption energy, open-circuit voltage, and maximum theoretical capacity of K ions on the C2NML.

Abstract
Polysulfides huttling and interfacial instability of Lithium-anode are the main technical issues hindering commercialization of high-energy-density lithium-sulfur batteries. Simply addressing the problem of polysulfide shuttling or lithium dendrite growth can result in safety hazards or short lifespan. To synchronously tackle the aforementioned issues, the authors have designed an asymmetric cellulose gel electrolyte, a defective and ionized UiO66/black phosphorus heterostructure coating layer (Di-UiO66/BP) and a cationic cellulose gelelectrolyte (QACA). Defective and ionized engineered UiO66 particles significantly enhances performance of UiO66/BP layer in anchoring free polysulfides, promoting smooth and effective polysulfide conversion and expediting the redox kinetics of sulfur cathode, therefore suppressing polysulfide shuttling. QACA electrolyte with numerous cationic groups can interact with anions via electrostatic adsorption, thus enhancing lithium-ion transference number and contributing to formation of stable solid electrolyte interface to suppress lithium dendrite growth. Owing to the superior performance of QACA/Di-UiO66/BP, the final cells exhibit outstanding electrochemical performance, presenting high sulfur utilization (1420.1 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C), high-rate capacity (665.4 mAh g-1 at 4 C) and long cycle lifespan. This work proposes a strategy of designing asymmetric electrolytes to simultaneously address the challenges in both S-cathode and Li-anode, which contributes to advanced Li-S batteries and their practical application.

Abstract
Black arsenene exhibits many exotic physical properties, such as Rashba spin-orbital coupling, fractional quantum Hall effect (Sheng 2021Nature59356) as well as some advantages in the field of energy storage (Wuet al2021J. Mater. Chem. A918793). High-quality and large-area BA monolayer can promote the investigations about BA and its device application. Epitaxial growth mechanism of BA is desirable. Here, based on density functional theory calculation, the epitaxial growth of BA monolayer was simulated. GeS(001) is found to be a suitable substrate for BA monolayer to epitaxially grow on. As a common isomer of arsenene, gray arsenene should be considered during the growth, because it is also energetically and thermodynamically stable in freestanding state. However, black arsenene monolayer is more energetically and thermodynamically stable than gray arsenene monolayer on GeS(001) substrate. During the growth, two arsenene atoms easily form a dimer on GeS(001), which diffuses more quickly and isotropically than arsenene monomer. In addition, the heterojunction consisted of balck arsenene and GeS(001) is an indirect gap semiconductor, but it can transform into a direct gap semiconductor with external tensile strain along zigzag direction. Remarkably, optical adsorption spectra range of BA/GeS(001) can be more abroad than that of BA and GeS(001) bilayers. The theatrical insights shed new light on some ideal substrates that can realize the epitaxial growth of high-quality simple substances of group V.

An investigation of halogen induced improvement of β12 borophene for Na/Li storage by density functional theory. J Mol Graph Model 2023; 119:108373.

Abstract
Pristine and halogen doped β12 borophene, as anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), was considered by first-principles study based on density functional theory. Li and Na were adsorbed on β12 borophene with adsorption energies of -3.18 eV and -2.33 eV, respectively. The effect of halogen addition, X = F, Cl, Br, and I, to borophene sheet on adsorption and also diffusion pathways of Li and Na was studied. The adsorption energy calculations show that the halogen atoms improve Li/Na adsorption on borophene sheet. Also, the results indicate that Li/Na adsorption energies on Brominated borophene sheet are higher compared to other halogen types. Diffusion calculations show that Br addition induces an electron deficiency on BoBr surface which lowers the energy barrier of migration of Li and Na ions compared to the pristine borophene. According to density of states analysis, electron charge is transferred from Li and Na atoms toward halogenated borophene sheet. Also, it can be concluded that electron transfer from Li/Na to borophene host in BoX is higher compared to pristine borophene which is in agreement with adsorption energies. The fully lithiated/sodiated complexes of BoBr are Li0.71BoBr and Na0.50BoBr which is equivalent to theoretical specific capacities of 1401 and 981 mAh/g which are about 3.5 and 2.6 times higher than graphite for Li and Na adsorption, respectively. Higher specific capacity of Li compared to Na is mainly attributed to steric hindrance of Na regarding its greater size. Open circuit voltage values of 1.6 V and 1.4 V were obtained for Li and Na intercalation processes, respectively, into halogen added β12 borophene indicating that this structure can be applied as anode for both LIB and SIB systems.

Abstract
Lateral heterostructures constructed from different two-dimensional (2D) materials can be potentially used in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The interface between two different components strongly affects LIB charge and discharge processes. Herein, the atomic structures, electronic properties, and Li-ion diffusion characteristics of lateral black phosphorus-graphene (BP-G) heterostructures are studied via first-principles calculations. The obtained results reveal that BP-G heterostructures with either zigzag (ZZ) or misoriented interfaces constructed according to Clar's rule possess a small number of interfacial states and are electronically stable. Furthermore, compared with the perfect ZZ interface of BP-G, Clar's interfaces provide a larger number of diffusion paths with much lower energy barriers. The findings of this study suggest that lateral BP-G heterostructures can provide insights for rapid charge and discharge processes in LIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries have attracted extensive attention due to their intrinsic advantages. However, zinc ions tend to deposit irregularly, seriously depleting the capacity and stability of the battery. The construction of zincophilic sites can effectively regulate the nucleation and growth of Zn, but there is a defect that these sites will be covered with gradual failure after long-term cycling. Here, in combination with the sustained-compensated strategy, interfacial zincophilic sites are continuously constructed, thus effectively avoiding the threat of dendrites and improving the electrochemical performance. Impressively, at 10 mA cm-2 and 5 mAh cm-2, the protected Zn metal exhibits excellent cycling stability over 2000 cycles in the Zn//Zn battery. Moreover, even the cathode mass loading is considerably high (35 mg cm-2), and the Zn//NVO full cell significantly outperforms with high areal capacity (up to 4 mAh cm-2). This novel strategy provides a direction for the development of high-capacity aqueous batteries.

Abstract
High-performance rechargeable batteries are becoming very important for high-end technologies with their ever increasing application areas. Hence, improving the performance of such batteries has become the main bottleneck to transferring high-end technologies to end users. In this study, we propose an argon intercalation strategy to enhance battery performance via engineering the interlayer spacing of honeycomb structures such as graphite, a common electrode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, we systematically investigated the LIB performance of graphite and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) when argon atoms were sent into between their layers by using first-principles density-functional-theory calculations. Our results showed enhanced lithium binding for graphite and h-BN structures when argon atoms were intercalated. The increased interlayer space doubles the gravimetric lithium capacity for graphite, while the volumetric capacity also increased by around 20% even though the volume was also increased. Theab initiomolecular dynamics simulations indicate the thermal stability of such graphite structures against any structural transformation and Li release. The nudged-elastic-band calculations showed that the migration energy barriers were drastically lowered, which promises fast charging capability for batteries containing graphite electrodes. Although a similar level of battery promise was not achieved for h-BN material, its enhanced battery capabilities by argon intercalation also support that the argon intercalation strategy can be a viable route to enhance such honeycomb battery electrodes.

Abstract
We report a high-throughput first-principles characterization of the structural, mechanical, electronic, and vibrational properties of tetragonal single-layer transition metal Xenes (t-TMXs). Our calculations revealed 22 dynamically, mechanically and chemically stable structures among the 96 possible free-standing layers present in the t-TMX family. As a fingerprint for their structural identification, we identified four characteristic Raman active phonon modes, namely three in-plane and one out-of-plane optical branches, with various intensities and frequencies depending on the material in question. Spin-polarized electronic calculations demonstrated that anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) metals, ferromagnetic (FM) metals, AFM semiconductors, and non-magnetic semiconductor materials exist within this family, evidencing the potential of t-TMXs for further use in multifunctional heterostructures.

Abstract
By virtue of high theoretical capacity and appropriate lithiation potential, phosphorus is considered as a prospective next-generation anode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, there are some problems hampering its practical application, such as low ionic conductivity and serious volume expansion. Herein, we demonstrated an in situ preoxidation strategy to build a oxidation function layer at phosphorus particle. The oxide layer not only acted as a protective layer to prolong the storage time of phosphorus anode in air but also carbonized N-methyl pyrrolidone and poly (vinylidene fluoride), strengthening the interfacial interaction between phosphorus particles and binder. The oxide layer further induced the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interface with high lithium-ion conductivity. The oxidized P-CNT maintained high specific capacity of 1306 mAh g-1 and 89% capacity after 100 cycles, much higher than that of pristine P-CNT (17.1%). The strategy of in situ oxidation is facile and conducive to the practical application of phosphorus-based anodes.

Abstract
It is a major challenge to achieve a high-performance anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with high specific capacity, high rate capability, and cycling stability. Bismuth sulfide, which features a high theoretical specific capacity, tailorable morphology, and low cost, has been considered as a promising anode for SIBs. Nevertheless, due to a lack of direct atomistic observation, the detailed understanding of fundamental intercalation behavior and Bi2 S3 's (de)sodiation mechanisms remains unclear. Here, by employing in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, consecutive electron diffraction coupled with theoretical calculations, it is not only for the first time identified that Bi2 S3 exhibits specific ionic transport pathways preferred to diffuse along the (110) direction instead of the (200) plane, but also tracks their real-time phase transformations (de)sodiation involving multi-step crystallographic tuning. The finite-element analysis further disclosed multi-reaction induced deformation and the relevant stress evolution originating from the combined effect of the mechanical and electrochemical interaction. These discoveries not only deepen the understanding of fundamental science about the microscopic reaction mechanism of metal chalcogenide anodes but also provide important implications for performance optimization.

Abstract
First-principles calculations within DFT have been performed to investigate the use of a recently synthesized form of silicene, the dumbbell (DB) silicene as an anode material for Li-ion batteries (LiBs). The energetically most stable geometries for Li adsorption on DB silicene were investigated, and the energy barriers for Li-ion diffusion among the possible stable adsorption sites were calculated. We found that DB silicene can be lithiated up to a ratio of 1.05 Li per Si atom, resulting in a high storage capacity of 1002 mA h g-1 and an average open-circuit potential of 0.38 V, which makes DB silicene suitable for applications as an anode in LiBs. The energy barrier for Li-ion diffusion was calculated to be as low as 0.19 eV, suggesting that the Li ions can easily diffuse on the entire DB silicene surface, decreasing the time for the charge/discharge process of the LiBs. Our detailed investigations show that the most stable form of two-dimensional silicon has characteristic features suitable for application in high-performance LiBs.

Abstract
Secondary ion batteries rely on two-dimensional (2D) electrode materials with high energy density and outstanding rate capability. Rb- and Cs-ion batteries (RIBs and CIBs) are late-model batteries. Herein, using first-principles calculations, the potential performance of H-MoS2 as a 2D electrode candidate in RIBs and CIBs has been investigated. The M-top site on 2D H-MoS2 possesses the most stable metal atom binding sites, and after adsorbing Rb and Cs atoms, its Fermi level goes up to the conduction band, indicating a semiconductor-to-metal transition. The maximal theoretical capacities of RIBs and CIBs are 372.05 (comparable to those of commercial graphite-based LIBs) and 223.23 mA h g-1, respectively, due to the strong adsorption capability of H-MoS2 for Rb and Cs ions. Noticeably, the diffusion barriers of Rb and Cs on H-MoS2 are 0.037 and 0.036 eV, respectively. Such a low diffusion barrier gives MoS2-based RIBs and CIBs high rate capability. In addition, H-MoS2 also has the characteristics of suitable open-circuit voltage, low expansion, good cycle stability, low cost, and easy experimental realization. These results indicate that MoS2-based RIBs and CIBs are innovative batteries with great potential, and may provide opportunities for cross-application of energy storage and multiple disciplines.

Abstract
The first-principles method of density functional theory (DFT) is used to study the structural stability and electrochemical properties of B doped graphene with concentrations of 3.125%, 6.25% and 18.75% respectively, and their lithium storage mechanism and characteristics are further studied. The results show that the doped systems all have negative adsorption energy, indicating that the structures can exist stably, and the adsorption energy of lithium ions on graphene decreases with the increase of B doping concentration. Among them, the B6C26 structure has the lowest adsorption energy and can adsorb more lithium ions. The density of states indicates that doping with B can increase the conductivity of graphene greatly. Subsequently, the CI-NEB method to search for the transition state of the doped structure is used, showing that the B6C26 structure has the lowest diffusion barrier and good rate performance. Therefore, these findings provide a certain research foundation for the development and application of lithium-ion battery anode materials.
