Abstract
Carbon composites derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have shown great promise as multipurpose materials for a range of electrochemical and environmental applications. Since carbon-based nanomaterials exhibit intriguing features, they have been widely exploited as catalysts or catalysts supports in the chemical industry or for energy or environmental applications. To improve the catalytic performance of carbon-based materials, high surface areas, variable porosity, and functionalization are thought to be essential. This study offers a thorough summary of the most recent developments in MOF-derived carbon composite synthesis techniques, emphasizing innovative approaches that improve the structural and functional characteristics of the materials. Their uses in electrochemical technologies, such as energy conversion and storage, and their function in environmental electrocatalysis for water splitting and pollutant degradation are also included in the debate.

Abstract
New materials and the interactions between them are the basis of novel energy storage devices such as supercapacitors and batteries. In recent years, because of the increasing demand for electricity as an energy source, the development of new energy storage materials is among the most actively studied topics. Conductive polymers (CPs), because of their intrinsic electrochemical activity and electrical conductivity, have also been intensively explored. While most of the high capacitance reported in the literature comes from hybrid materials, for example, conductive polymers composed of metal oxides and carbon materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, new chemistry and the 3D structure of conductive polymers remain critical. This comprehensive review focuses on the basic properties of three popular conductive polymers and their composites with carbon materials and metal oxides that have been actively explored as energy storage materials, i.e., polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline (PANi), and polythiophene (PTh), and various types of electrolytes, including aqueous, organic, quasi-solid, and self-healing electrolytes. Important experimental parameters affecting material property and morphology are also discussed. Electrochemical and analytical techniques frequently employed in material and supercapacitor research are presented. In particular, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are discussed in detail, including how to extract data from spectra to calculate key parameters. Pros and cons of CP-based supercapacitors are discussed together with their potential applications.

Abstract
2D layer Ti3 C2 Tx material attracts enormous attention in lithium ion energy storage field owing to the unique surface chemistry properties, but the material still suffers from restacking issue and the restriction on capacity. Herein, copper phosphide (Cu3 P) nanostructures@Ti3 C2 Tx composites are prepared by the in situ generation of Cu-BDC precursor in the bulk material followed with phosphorization. The uniformly distributed copper phosphide nanostructures effectively expand the interlayer spacing promoting the structural stability, and achieves the effective connection with the bulk material accelerating the diffusion and migration of lithium ions. The electrochemical activity of Cu3 P also provides more lithium ion active sites for lithium storage. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis verifies that Ti─O─P bond with strong covalency allows the upper shift of maximum valence band and Fermi level, stimulating the charge transportation between Cu3 P and the bulk Ti3 C2 Tx for better electrode kinetics. 3Cu3 P@Ti3 C2 Tx exhibits excellent rate performance of 165.4 mAh g-1 at 3000 mA g-1 and the assembled 3Cu3 P@Ti3 C2 Tx //AC Lithium-ion hybrid capacitorsLIC exhibits superior energy density of 93.0 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 2367.3 W kg-1 . The results suggest that the interfacial modification of Ti3 C2 Tx with transition metal phosphides will be advantageous to its high energy density application in lithium-ion storage.

Abstract
ConspectusMesoporous inorganic materials (MIMs) directed by block copolymers (BCPs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their high surface area, large pore volume, and tunable pore size. The structural hierarchy of inorganic materials with designed meso- and macrostructures combines the benefits of mesoporosity and tailored macrostructures in which macropores have increased ion/mass transfer and large capacity to carry guest material and have a macroscale particle morphology that permits close packing and a low surface energy. Existing methods for hierarchically structured MIMs require complicated multistep procedures including preparation of sacrificial macrotemplates (e.g., foams and colloidal spheres). Despite considerable efforts to control the macrostructures of mesoporous materials, major challenges remain in the formation of a structural hierarchy with ordered mesoporosity.In polymer science, spinodal decomposition (SD) is a physical phenomenon that spontaneously produces a wide variety of macroscale heterostructures from interconnected networks to isolated droplets. Exploitation of SD is a promising method to achieve precise control of the macrostructure (e.g., macropore, particle morphology) and mesostructure (e.g., pore size and structure, composition) of inorganic materials. However, this approach for tailoring the structural hierarchy of MIMs is unexplored due to the lack of effective systems that can control the complex thermodynamic interactions of inorganic precursor/polymer blends and the phase-separation kinetics.In this Account, we present our recent research progress on the development of synthesis systems that combine unique SD behaviors and BCP self-assembly in polymer blends. To generate macropores in MIMs, we have exploited interconnected macrostructures of SD induced by designed quench conditions of multicomponent blends containing BCP. These strategies enable control of the size of the macropores of the nanostructures independently and can be extended to various compositions (e.g., carbon, SiO2, TiO2, WO3, TiNb2O7, TiN). We also control the macroscopic morphology of the MIMs into spherical particles (e.g., solid and hollow mesoporous spheres) by using SD induced by increasing the mixing entropy penalty of polymer blends that consist BCP, homopolymer(s), and inorganic precursors. Furthermore, interfacial tension between polymers determines the macroscopic morphology of MIMs, from isotropic to anisotropic mesoporous particles (e.g., oblate, bowl, 2D nanosheet). The interfacial states of the homopolymer determine the pore orientation and particle morphology of BCP-directed MIMs.We also highlight the application of the hierarchically structured MIMs in energy storage devices. Generated macropores facilitate ion/mass transfer in lithium-ion batteries and stable accommodation of a large amount of sulfur in lithium-sulfur batteries. Designed morphologies of MIMs are beneficial to achieve high packing density as electrode materials in potassium-ion batteries and thereby achieve high volumetric capacities.Recent advances in SD-driven synthesis for the structural hierarchy of MIMs will inspire how polymer science can be used as a platform for preparing the designed inorganic materials. Additionally, broadening the polymer and composition repertoire will guide in novel frontiers in the design and applications of MIMs in various fields.

Abstract
Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5), as an important dielectric and semiconductor material, has numerous crystal polymorphs, higher chemical stability than water and oxygen, and a higher melt point than most metal oxides. Nb2O5 materials have been extensively studied in electrochemistry, lithium batteries, catalysts, ionic liquid gating, and microelectronics. Nb2O5 polymorphs provide a model system for studying structure-property relationships. For example, the T-Nb2O5 polymorph has two-dimensional layers with very low steric hindrance, allowing for rapid Li-ion migration. With the ever-increasing energy crisis, the excellent electrical properties of Nb2O5 polymorphs have made them a research hotspot for potential applications in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs). The basic properties, crystal structures, synthesis methods, and applications of Nb2O5 polymorphs are reviewed in this article. Future research directions related to this material are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Carbon materials have been the most common anodes for sodium-ion storage. However, it is well-known that most carbon materials cannot obtain a satisfactory rate performance because of the sluggish kinetics of large-sized sodium-ion intercalation in ordered carbon layers. Here, we propose an integration of co-intercalation and adsorption instead of conventional simplex-intercalation and adsorption to promote the rate capability of sodium-ion storage in carbon materials. The experiment was demonstrated by using a typical carbon material, reduced graphite oxide (RGO400) in an ether-solvent electrolyte. The ordered and disordered carbon layers efficiently store solvated sodium ions and simplex sodium ions, which endows RGO400 with enhanced reversible capacity (403 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1 after 100 cycles) and superior rate performance (166 mA h g-1 at 20 A g-1). Furthermore, a symmetric sodium-ion capacitor was demonstrated by employing RGO400 as both the anode and cathode. It exhibits a high energy density of 48 W h g-1 at a very high power density of 10,896 W kg-1. This work updates the sodium-ion storage mechanism and provides a rational strategy to realize high rate capability for carbon electrode materials.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), with their high theoretical specific capacity and energy density, have great potential to be a candidate for secondary batteries in the future. However, Li-S batteries suffer from multiple issues and challenges, for example, uneven growth of lithium dendrites, low utilization of the active material (sulfur), and low specific capacity. This paper reports a low-cost and anodic oxidation method to produce niobium pentoxide with a porous structure (P-Nb2O5). A simple one-step process was used to synthesize P-Nb2O5 with porous structures by anodizing niobium at 40 V in fluorinated glycerol. The porous Nb2O5 showed excellent rate capability and good capacity retention by maintaining its structural integrity, allowing us to determine the advantages of its porous structure. As a result of the highly porous structure, the sulfur was not only provided with adequate storage space and abundant adsorption points, but it was also utilized more effectively. The initial discharge capacity with the P-Nb2O5 cathode rose to 1106.8 mAh·g-1 and dropped to 810.7 mAh·g-1 after 100 cycles, which demonstrated the good cycling performance of the battery. This work demonstrated that the P-Nb2O5 prepared by the oxidation method has strong adsorption properties and good chemical affinity.

Abstract
Niobium pentoxides have received considerable attention and are promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), due to their fast Li storage kinetics and high capacity. However, their cycling stability and rate performance are still limited owing to their intrinsic insulating properties and structural degradation during charging and discharging. Herein, a series of mesoporous Nb2O5@TiO2 core-shell spherical heterostructures have been prepared for the first time by a sol-gel method and investigated as anode materials in LIBs. Mesoporosity can provide numerous open and short pathways for Li+ diffusion; meanwhile, heterostructures can simultaneously enhance the electronic conductivity and thus improve the rate capability. The TiO2 coating layer shows robust crystalline skeletons during repeated lithium insertion and extraction processes, retaining high structural integrity and, thereby, enhancing cycling stability. The electrochemical behavior is strongly dependent on the thickness of the TiO2 layer. After optimization, a mesoporous Nb2O5@TiO2 core-shell structure with a ∼13 nm thick TiO2 layer delivers a high specific capacity of 136 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 and exceptional cycling stability (88.3% retention over 1000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1). This work provides a facile strategy to obtain mesoporous Nb2O5@TiO2 core-shell spherical structures and underlines the importance of structural engineering for improving the performance of battery materials.

Abstract
Nanoarchitectonics integrates nanotechnology with numerous scientific disciplines to create innovative and novel functional materials from nano-units (atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials). The objective of nanoarchitectonics concept is to develop functional materials and systems with rationally architected functional units. This paper explores the progress and potential of this field using biomass nanoarchitectonics for supercapacitor applications as examples of energetic materials and devices. Strategic design of nanoporous carbons that exhibit ultra-high surface area and hierarchically pore architectures comprising micro- and mesopore structure and controlled pore size distributions are of great significance in energy-related applications, including in high-performance supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, and fuel cells. Agricultural wastes or natural biomass are lignocellulosic materials and are excellent carbon sources for the preparation of hierarchically porous carbons with an ultra-high surface area that are attractive materials in high-performance supercapacitor applications due to high electrical and ion conduction, extreme porosity, and exceptional chemical and thermal stability. In this review, we will focus on the latest advancements in the fabrication of hierarchical porous carbon materials from different biomass by chemical activation method. Particularly, the importance of biomass-derived ultra-high surface area porous carbons, hierarchical architectures with interconnected pores in high-energy storage, and high-performance supercapacitors applications will be discussed. Finally, the current challenges and outlook for the further improvement of carbon materials derived from biomass or agricultural wastes in the advancements of supercapacitor devices will be discussed.

Abstract
Orthorhombic niobium pentoxide (T-Nb2O5) is regarded as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to ultrafast charge/discharge and high safety. However, the poor electronic conductivity and low mass loading of nanostructured T-Nb2O5 limit its practical application in LIBs. Herein, we design and construct dense microspheres consisting of nanostructured T-Nb2O5 embedded in amorphous N-doped carbon (Nb2O5@NC) via a facile method to achieve fast ionic and electronic transport as well as a high mass loading. The dense micro-sized particles with an interconnected carbon network avoid the low mass loading and volumetric energy density of conventional nanostructures. Interconnected pores in the range of a few nanometers are also formed in the Nb2O5@NC microspheres. Notably, at a high mass loading of 12.8 mg cm-2, Nb2O5@NC can achieve a high specific capacity of 171.5 mAh g-1 and an areal capacity of 2.05 mAh cm-2, showing its high lithium storage capacity. The intercalation reaction mechanism with a small volume change during cycling at both crystal lattice and microsphere levels is confirmed by in situ X-ray diffraction and in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The elegant structure and the electrochemical reaction mechanism disclosed in the work is important for designing ultrafast-(dis)charge electrode materials.

Abstract
Orthorhombic niobium pentoxide (T-Nb2O5) is a promising anode to fulfill the requirements for high-rate Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, its low electric conductivity and indistinct electrochemical mechanism hinder further applications. Herein, we develop a novel method to obtain a micrometer-sized layer structure of S-doped Nb2O5 on an S-doped graphene (SG) surface (the composite is denoted S-Nb2O5/SG) after the initial cycle, which we call "in situ electrochemically induced aggregation". In situ and ex situ characterizations and theoretical calculations were carried out to reveal the aggregation process and Li+ storage process. The unique merits of the composite with a micrometer-sized layer structure increased the reaction degree, structural stability, and electrochemical kinetics. As a result, the electrode exhibited a large capacity (∼598 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), outstanding cycling stability (∼313 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 and remains at ∼313 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles), and a high Coulombic efficiency and has a high fast-charging performance and excellent cycling stability.

Abstract
The direct growth of sub-100 nm thin-film metal oxides has witnessed a sustained interest as a superlative approach for the fabrication of smart energy storage platforms. Herein, sub-100 nm Zr-doped orthorhombic Nb2O5 nanotube films are synthesized directly on the Nb-Zr substrate and tested as negative supercapacitor electrode materials. To boost the pseudocapacitive performance of the fabricated films, supplement Nb4+ active sites (defects) are subtly induced into the metal oxide lattice, resulting in 13% improvement in the diffusion current at 100 m V/s over that of the defect-free counterpart. The defective sub-100 nm film (H-NbZr) exhibits areal and volumetric capacitances of 6.8 mF/cm2 and 758.3 F/cm3, respectively. The presence of oxygen-deficient states enhances the intrinsic conductivity of the thin film, resulting in a reduction in the band gap energy from 3.25 to 2.5 eV. The assembled supercapacitor device made of nitrogen-doped activated carbon (N-AC) and H-NbZr (N-AC//H-NbZr) is able to retain 93, 83, 78, and 66% of its first cycle capacitance after 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4500 successive charge/discharge cycles, respectively. An eminent energy record of approximately 0.77 μW h/cm2 at a power of 0.9 mW/cm2 is achieved at 1 mA/cm2 with superb capability.

Abstract
As an ion-embedded material with small strain and low transport energy barrier, the limited ion transport rate and conductivity of niobium pentaoxide (Nb2 O5 ) are the main factors limiting its application in lithium/sodium storage systems. In this work, the microsphere composites (N-Nb2 O5- x @CNTs) are prepared by combining Nb2 O5 , rich in nitrogen doping and vacancy defects, with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) penetrating the bulk phase. With the capillary effect, CNTs can enable the rapid electrolyte infiltration into the microspheres, thus shorting the Li+ /Na+ transport path. In addition, CNTs also hinder the direct contact between the electrolyte and Nb2 O5 , and inhibit the irreversible reaction. Meanwhile, nitrogen doping and oxygen vacancy defects reduce the energy barrier of Li+ /Na+ transport, and improve their transport rate, proved by density functional theory. Highly conductive CNTs and unpaired electrons from defects also ameliorate the insulation property of Nb2 O5 . Therefore, N-Nb2 O5- x @CNTs display good electrochemical performance in both Li/Na half-cell and Li/Na hybrid capacitors. Interestingly, kilogram-scale microsphere composites can be produced in laboratory conditions by using industrial grade raw materials, implying its potential for practical application.

Abstract
Recently, Li-ion capacitors (LICs) have drawn tremendous attention due to their high energy/power density along with long cycle life. Nevertheless, the slow kinetics and stability of the involved anodes as bottleneck barriers always result in the modest properties of devices. The exploration of advanced anodes with both high ionic and electronic conductivities as well as structural stability thus becomes more significant for practical applications of LICs. Herein, a single-crystal nano-subunits assembled hierarchical accordion-shape WNb2 O8 micro-/nano framework is first designed via a one-step scalable strategy with the multi-layered Nb2 CTx as a precursor. The underlying solid solution Li-storage mechanism of the WNb2 O8 just with a volumetric expansion of ≈1.5% is proposed with in situ analysis. Benefiting from congenitally crystallographic merits, single-crystalline characteristic, and open accordion-like architecture, the resultant WNb2 O8 as a robust anode platform is endowed with fast electron/ion transport capability and multi-electron redox contributions from W/Nb, and accordingly, delivers a reversible capacity of ≈135.5 mAh g-1 at a high rate of 2.0 A g-1 . The WNb2 O8 assembled LICs exhibit an energy density of ≈33.0 Wh kg-1 at 9 kW kg-1 , coupled with remarkable electrochemical stability. The work provides meaningful insights into the rational design and construction of advanced bimetallic niobium oxides for next-generation LICs.

Abstract
TiNb2O7 (TNO) as a promising candidate anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) shows obvious advantages in terms of specific capacity and safety, but which undergoes the intrinsic poor electrical and ionic conductivity. Herein, we propose a simple synthesis strategy of mesoporous TNO via a polymeric surfactant-mediated evaporation-induced sol-gel method, using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with different molecular weights (average Mw: 10000/58000/1300000) as the regulating agent, which greatly affects the lithium storage performance of the as-prepared TNO. The optimized TNO (i.e., PVP of 58000) delivers a high reversible capacity of 303.1 mAh/g at 1 C, with a retention rate of 73.4% (222.5 mAh/g) after 300 cycles. Even at 5 C, a high reversible capacity of 185.6 mAh/g can be achieved, with a retention rate of 72.3% after 1000 cycles. The superior lithium storage behavior is attributed to the fine mesoporous framework consisting of interconnected TNO nanocrystallites with high specific surface area and high mesoporosity, which greatly increases the active sites, improves the Li+ diffusion kinetics and alleviates volume fluctuation induced by the repetitive Li+ insertion-extraction processes.

Abstract
The storage of sodium ions with carbon materials has huge potential for large-scale application due to its resource-rich and environmental advantages. However, how to realize high power density, high energy density and long cycle life are the bottlenecks restricting its development. Herein, by using a facile synthesis strategy, a carbon-based framework with a hierarchical structure and intrinsic heteroatom sites which are the characteristics contributing to ultrahigh rate and capacity has been achieved. As a result, the hierarchical carbon-based material exhibits excellent performance when used as both the anode and cathode for sodium-ion capacitors (SICs), which can deliver a high energy density of 224 W h kg-1 (at 180 W kg-1), an ultrahigh power density of 17 160 W kg-1 (at 128 W h kg-1) and ultralong cycle life (91% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles at 2 A g-1), outperforming most of the previously reported SICs with other configurations.

Abstract
Hollow metal oxide microspheres (HMMs) have drawn enormous attention in different research fields. Reliable and scalable synthetic protocols applicable for a large variety of metal oxides are in emergent demand. Here we demonstrated that polymer hydrogel, such as the resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) one, existed as an efficient synthetic platform to build HMMs. Specifically, the RF gel forms stacked RF microspheres enlaced with its aqueous phase, where the following evaporation of the highly dispersed water leads to a gel-assisted precipitation (GAP) of the dissolved metal precursor onto the embedded polymeric solids suited for the creation of HMMs. By taking advantage of the structural features of hydrogel, this synthesis design avoids the delicate control on the usually necessitated coating process and provides a simple and effective synthetic process versatile for functional HMMs, particularly Nb2 O5 as a high-performance electrode material in Li-ion intercalation pseudocapacitor.

Abstract
In the applications of large-scale energy storage, aqueous batteries are considered as rivals for organic batteries due to their environmentally friendly and low-cost nature. However, carrier ions always exhibit huge hydrated radius in aqueous electrolyte, which brings difficulty to find suitable host materials that can achieve highly reversible insertion and extraction of cations. Owing to open three-dimensional rigid framework and facile synthesis, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) receive the most extensive attention among various host candidates in aqueous system. Herein, a comprehensive review on recent progresses of PBAs in aqueous batteries is presented. Based on the application in different aqueous systems, the relationship between electrochemical behaviors (redox potential, capacity, cycling stability and rate performance) and structural characteristics (preparation method, structure type, particle size, morphology, crystallinity, defect, metal atom in high-spin state and chemical composition) is analyzed and summarized thoroughly. It can be concluded that the required type of PBAs is different for various carrier ions. In particular, the desalination batteries worked with the same mechanism as aqueous batteries are also discussed in detail to introduce the application of PBAs in aqueous systems comprehensively. This report can help the readers to understand the relationship between physical/chemical characteristics and electrochemical properties for PBAs and find a way to fabricate high-performance PBAs in aqueous batteries and desalination batteries.

Abstract
The rational design and development of novel electrode materials with promising nanostructures is an effective technique to improve their supercapacitive performance. This work presents high-performance core/shell electrodes based on three-dimensional hierarchical nanostructures coated with conformal thin transition-metal oxide layers using atomic layer deposition (ALD). This effective interface engineering creates disorder in the electronic structure and coordination environment at the interface of the heteronanostructure, which provides many more reaction sites and rapid ion diffusion. At 3 A g-1, the positive CuCo2O4/Ni4Mo/MoO2@ALD-Co3O4 electrode introduced here exhibits a specific capacity of 1029.1 C g-1, and the fabricated negative Fe3O4@ALD-TiO2 electrode significantly outperforms conventional carbon-based electrodes, with a maximum specific capacity of 372.6 C g-1. The supercapattery cell assembled from these two interface- and surface-tailored electrodes exhibits a very high energy density of 110.4 W h kg-1 with exceptional capacity retention over 20,000 cycles, demonstrating the immense potential of ALD for the next generation of supercapacitors.

Abstract
The demand for high rate energy storage systems is continuously increasing driven by portable electronics, hybrid/electric vehicles and the need for balancing the smart grid. Accordingly, Nb2O5 based materials have gained great attention because of their fast cation intercalation faradaic charge storage that endows them with high rate energy storage performance. In this review, we describe the crystalline features of the five main phases of Nb2O5 and analyze their specific electrochemical characteristics with an emphasis on the intrinsic ion intercalation pseudocapacitive behavior of T-Nb2O5. The charge storage mechanisms, electrochemical performance and state-of-the-art characterization techniques for Nb2O5 anodes are summarized. Next, we review recent progress in developing various types of Nb2O5 based fast charging electrode materials, including Nb2O5 based mixed metal oxides and composites. Finally, we highlight the major challenges for Nb2O5 based materials in the realm of high rate rechargeable energy storage and provide perspectives for future research.

Abstract
Electrode materials with high conductivity and high mass transport rate are highly desirable for a variety of electrochemical energy devices but face a grand challenge to be readily prepared yet. Here, we propose the design and preparation of a nanohybrid of V2O3 nanoparticles embedded in a multichannel carbon nanofiber (V2O3@MCNF) network with high conductivity and high mass transport. We demonstrate the V2O3@MCNF shows superior capability for sodium storage with an excellent capacity of 214.3 mA h g-1 even at 5 A g-1, thanks to its high conductivity for electron transfer and facilitated mass transportation endowed by the one-dimensional conductive multichannel fiber structure. Such favorable structures and properties in V2O3@MCNFs enable them to be applied as high-performance anodes of sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs), successfully addressing the critical kinetics imbalance between Faradaic anodes and capacitive cathodes for application of SIHCs, which show impressively high energy/power densities along with impressive cycling performance over 10,000 cycles.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have gained significant attention in recent years for their increased energy density without altering their power density. LICs achieve higher capacitance than traditional supercapacitors due to their hybrid battery electrode and subsequent higher voltage. This is due to the asymmetric action of LICs, which serves as an enhancer of traditional supercapacitors. This culminates in the potential for pollution-free, long-lasting, and efficient energy-storing that is required to realise a renewable energy future. This review article offers an analysis of recent progress in the production of LIC electrode active materials, requirements and performance. In-situ hybridisation and ex-situ recombination of composite materials comprising a wide variety of active constituents is also addressed. The possible challenges and opportunities for future research based on LICs in energy applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs), one of the most popular types of energy-storage devices, present lots of advantages, such as large power density and fast charge/discharge capability. Being the promising SCs electrode materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives have gained ever-increasing attention due to their large specific surface area, controllable porous structure and rich diversity. Herein, the recent development of MOFs-based materials and their application in SCs as the electrode are reviewed and summarized. The preparation method, the morphology of the materials and the electrical performance of various MOFs and their derivatives (such as carbon, metal oxide/hydroxide and metal sulfide) are briefly discussed. Most of recent works concentrate on Ni-, Co- and Mn-MOFs and their composites/derivatives. Conclusions and our outlook for the researches are also given, which would be a valuable guideline for the rational design of MOFs materials for SCs in the near future.

Abstract
Development of high-voltage electrolytes with non-flammability is significantly important for future energy storage devices. Aqueous electrolytes are inherently non-flammable, easy to handle, and their electrochemical stability windows (ESWs) can be considerably expanded by increasing electrolyte concentrations. However, further breakthroughs of their ESWs encounter bottlenecks because of the limited salt solubility, leading to that most of the high-energy anode materials can hardly function reversibly in aqueous electrolytes. Here, by introducing a non-flammable ionic liquid as co-solvent in a lithium salt/water system, we develop a "water in salt/ionic liquid" (WiSIL) electrolyte with extremely low water content. In such WiSIL electrolyte, commercial niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) material can operate at a low potential (-1.6 V versus Ag/AgCl) and contribute its full capacity. Consequently, the resultant Nb2O5-based aqueous lithium-ion capacitor is able to operate at a high voltage of 2.8 V along with long cycling stability over 3000 cycles, and displays comparable energy and power performance (51.9 Wh kg-1 at 0.37 kW kg-1 and 16.4 Wh kg-1 at 4.9 kW kg-1) to those using non-aqueous electrolytes but with improved safety performance and manufacturing efficiency.

Abstract
Metal ion hybrid capacitors (MIHCs) have been recognized as one of the most promising power sources owing to their combined merits of high energy density in batteries and high power output in supercapacitors. The kinetics mismatch between the capacitor-type cathode and battery-type anode yet must be well addressed before implementing their practical feasibility. Here, we overview the recent progress in sodium and potassium ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs and PIHCs) and discuss the major challenges and give an outlook on the future directions in this field. The fundamental knowledge and the history will be firstly introduced, and special emphasis is then laid on the development of a variety of electrode materials in recent years. The prospects of future research of MIHCs are finally proposed towards their practical applications. We wish that this feature article can not only educate newcomers starting their reasearch in this field, but also inspire experieced researchers to contribute to the development of high-performance MIHC devices.

Abstract
Recent advances in spherical mesoporous metal oxides (SMMOs) have demonstrated their enormous potential in a large variety of research fields. However, a direct creation of these materials with precise control on their key shape features, particularly pore architectures, remains a major challenge as compared to the widely explored counterpart of silica. Here, using Al2O3 as an example, we identified that deposition kinetics in solution played an essential role in the construction of different SMMOs. Specifically, a controlled Al3+ precipitation is critical to maintaining the electrostatic interaction between the inorganic precursors and the molecular templates, thereby achieving a designable assembly of these two components toward uniform mesoporous Al2O3-based nanospheres. We demonstrated that such a synthesis strategy is not only able to precisely control the channel orientations from concentric to radial and dendritic, a synthesis capability impeded so far for SMMOs, but is readily applicable to other metal oxides. Our study showed that the growth-kinetics control is a simple but powerful synthesis protocol and opened up a multifunctional platform to achieve systematic design of SMMOs for their future applications.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have emerged as attractive energy storage devices to bridge the gap between lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. While the distinct charge storage kinetics between the anode and the cathode is still a challenge to the widespread application of LICs, the key to improving the energy density of these devices is to widen the operating voltage window and balance the mismatch of the electrode kinetics. To this end, we propose a strategy based on electrostatic attraction by adjusting the B and N atom contents of boron carbonitride (BCN) electrode materials to alter their electronegativities and successfully prepared B-rich and N-rich BCN nanotubes (BCNNTs) via a facile solid-phase synthesis approach. The B-rich BCN (B-BCN) cathode and N-rich BCN (N-BCN) anode noticeably enhance the adsorption of anions and cations, promoting a matching degree between the anode and cathode. In particular, the rationally designed B-BCN//N-BCN LIC achieves a maximum voltage range of 4.8 V, setting a new record for LICs. Furthermore, the energy density reaches up to 200 Wh kg-1 (based on the total mass of cathodic and anodic active materials). Density functional theory calculations provided insight into the mechanism underlying our strategy of widening the voltage range. Our philosophy provides new design guidelines and alternatives for identifying and optimizing high-performance electrodes for energy storage devices.

Abstract
Anisotropic mesoporous inorganic materials have attracted great interest due to their unique and intriguing properties, yet their controllable synthesis still remains a great challenge. Here, we develop a simple synthesis approach toward mesoporous inorganic bowls and two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets by combining block copolymer (BCP)-directed self-assembly with asymmetric phase migration in ternary-phase blends. The homogeneous blend solution spontaneously self-assembles to anisotropically stacked hybrids as the solvent evaporates. Two minor phases-BCP/inorganic precursor and homopolystyrene (hPS)-form closely stacked, Janus domains that are dispersed/confined in the major homopoly(methyl methacrylate) (hPMMA) matrix. hPS phases are partially covered by BCP-rich phases, where ordered mesostructures develop. With increasing the relative amount of hPS, the anisotropic shape evolves from bowls to 2D nanosheets. Benefiting from the unique bowl-like morphology, the resulting transition metal oxides show promise as high-performance anodes in potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
A vanadium formate (VF) coordination polymer and its composite with partially reduced graphene oxide (prGO), namely VF-prGO, can be applied as anode materials for Li-ion based electrochemical energy storage (EcES) systems in the potential range of 0-3 V (vs Li+ /Li). This study shows that a reversible capacity of 329 mAh g-1 at a current density of 50 mA g-1 after 50 cycles can be realized for VF along with a high rate capability. The composite exhibits even a higher capacity of 504 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 . A good capacity retention is observed even after 140 cycles for both VF and the composite. An ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study indicates the involvement of V3+ /V4+ redox couple in the charge storage mechanism. A significant contribution of this reversible capacity is attributed to the pseudocapacitive behavior of the system.

Abstract
Herein, we show a facile surfactant-free synthetic platform for the synthesis of nanostructured vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) using reline as a green and eco-friendly deep eutectic solvent. This new approach overcomes the dependence of the current synthetic methods on shape directing agents such as surfactants with potential detrimental effects on the final applications. Excellent morphological control is achieved by simply varying the water ratio in the reaction leading to the selective formation of V2O5 3D microbeads, 2D nanosheets, and 1D randomly arranged nanofleece. Using electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS), we demonstrate that alkyl amine based ionic species are formed during the reline/water solvothermal treatment and that these play a key role in the resulting material morphology with templating and exfoliating properties. This work enables fundamental understanding of the activity-morphology relationship of vanadium oxide materials in catalysis, sensing applications, energy conversion, and energy storage as we prove the effect of surfactant-free V2O5 structuring on battery performance as cathode materials. Nanostructured V2O5 cathodes showed a faster charge-discharge response than the counterpart bulk-V2O5 electrode with V2O5 2D nanosheet presenting the highest improvement of the rate performance in galvanostatic charge-discharge tests.

Abstract
The non-aqueous asymmetric lithium ion hybrid capacitor (LIHC) is a tactical energy storage device composed of a faradic and non-faradic electrode pair, which aims to achieve both high energy and great power densities. On the other hand, the different types of electrode combinations cause severe imbalances in energy and power capabilities, leading to poor electrochemical performance. Herein, waste pinecone-derived hierarchically porous pyropolymers (WP-HPPs) were fabricated as a surface-driven pseudocapacitive electrode, which has the advantages of both faradic and non-faradic electrodes. The unique materials properties of WP-HPPs possessing high effective surface areas and hierarchically open nanopores led to high specific capacities of ~412 mA h g−1 and considerable rate/cycling performance as a cathode for LIHCs. In particular, nanometer-scale pores, approximately 3 nm in size, plays a key role in the pseudocapacitive charge storage behaviors because open nanopores can transport solvated Li-ions easily into the inside of complex carbon structures and a large specific surface area can be provided by the effective active surface for charge storage. In addition, WP-HPP-based asymmetric LIHCs assembled with a pseudocapacitive counterpart demonstrated feasible electrochemical performance, such as maximum specific energy and specific power of ~340 Wh kg−1 and ~11,000 W kg−1, respectively, with significant cycling stability.

Abstract
Developing novel cathode materials with a high energy density and long cycling stability is necessary for Na-ion batteries and Na-ion hybrid capacitors (NICs). Despite their high energy density, structural flexibility, and ease of synthesis, P-type Na layered oxides cannot be utilized in energy-storage applications owing to their severe capacity fading. In this regard, we report a novel composite layered-tunnel Na0.5Mn0.5Co0.48Mg0.02O2 cathode whose binary structure was confirmed via scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Combination of the two-dimensional (2D) layered oxides with the three-dimensional tunnel structure, as well as the presence of Mg2+ ions, resulted in a high capacity of 145 mAh g-1 at a current density of 85 mA g-1, along with a high stability and rate capability. An NIC was fabricated with composite layered-tunnel structure as a battery-type electrode and commercial activated carbon as a counter electrode. The NIC exhibited a maximum energy density of 35 Wh kg-1 and good stability retaining 72% of its initial energy density after 3000 cycles. This integrated approach provides a new method for designing high-energy and high-power cathodes for NICs and NIBs.
