Abstract
Nickel-based sulfides are considered promising materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) anodes due to their abundant resources and attractive theoretical capacity. However, their application is limited by slow diffusion kinetics and severe volume changes during cycling. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) wrapped Ni3S2 nanocrystals composites (Ni3S2-N-rGO-700 °C) through the cubic NiS2 precursor under high temperature (700 ℃). Benefitting from the variation in crystal phase structure and robust coupling effect between the Ni3S2 nanocrystals and N-rGO matrix, the Ni3S2-N-rGO-700 °C exhibits enhanced conductivity, fast ion diffusion kinetics and outstanding structural stability. As a result, the Ni3S2-N-rGO-700 °C delivers excellent rate capability (345.17 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 5 A g-1) and long-term cyclic stability over 400 cycles at 2 A g-1 with a high reversible capacity of 377 mAh g-1 when evaluated as anodes for SIBs. This study open a promising avenue to realize advanced metal sulfide materials with desirable electrochemical activity and stability for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Low dimensional electrocatalytic heterostructures have recently attracted significant attention in the catalysis community due to their highly tuneable interfaces and exciting electronic features, opening up new possibilities for effective nanometric control of both the charge carriers and energetic states of several intermediate catalytic species. In-depth understanding of electrocatalytic routes at the interface between two or more low-dimensional nanostructures has triggered the development of heterostructure nanocatalysts with extraordinary properties for water splitting reactions, NRR and CO2RR. This tutorial review provides an overview of the most recent advances in synthetic strategies for 0D-1D, 0D-2D, and 2D-2D nanoheterostructures, discussing key aspects of their electrocatalytic performances from experimental and computational perspectives as well as their applications towards the development of overall water splitting and Zn-air battery devices.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries are promising platforms for sustainable development of energy conversion and storage technologies. Highly efficient multifunctional electrodes based on bimetallic sulfides for rechargeable batteries are extremely desirable but still challenging to tailor with controllable phase and structure. Here, we report a colloidal strategy to fabricate FeCo-based bimetallic sulfides on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which are expected to display highly efficient oxygen electrocatalysis and sodium storage performances. Specifically, as-screened FeCo8S8 nanosheets (NSs) on rGO originating from suitable tailoring of the Co9S8 matrix with Fe at the atomic level exhibited a very low potential difference (0.77 V) at 10 mA cm-2 and negligible voltage loss after 200 cycles as an air electrode for Zn-air batteries. For Na-ion batteries, FeCo8S8 NS/rGO demonstrated a superior high-rate capability (188 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1) with long-term cycling stability. The bifunctional electrocatalytic property and sodium storage performance are attributed to not only the synergistic effect of Fe/Co but also the optimized catalytic activity and ion transport ability by the in situ rGO hybrid. This work demonstrates the potential applications of FeCo-based bimetallic sulfides as efficient electrode materials for both rechargeable Zn-air and Na-ion batteries.
