Abstract
Metal oxides with hollow porous structures are attractive and promising anode candidates for Li-ion batteries due to their high surface area, high loading capacity, and low density. In this work, hierarchical hollow porous structures of nickel (Ni)-doped λ-MnO2 were prepared via a facile, and cost-effective approach, where different amounts of Ni were introduced into MnO2 structures to tailor their physical and chemical properties. When the prepared Ni-doped MnO2 hollow structures were studied as anode materials for Li-ion batteries, the electrode showed excellent electrochemical properties, such as stable cyclability and admirable rate capability. Moreover, Ni doping significantly enhances the diffusion properties of the active materials. The material was also investigated as an anode in another high power and energy Li-ion storage device, namely, a Li-ion hybrid capacitor, which exhibited excellent comprehensive electrochemical performance in terms of good specific cell capacity of 25 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 5 A g-1 and achieved a maximum power density of 29 W kg-1 (with energy density of 30 W h kg-1) with a long cycle life. These results indicate that the Ni-doped MnO2 is suitable for application as an anode material and give considerable insight into future Li-energy storage applications.

Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs) are some of the most promising energy storage devices, but their low energy density is one main weakness. Over the decades, superior electrode materials and suitable electrolytes have been widely developed to enhance the energy storage ability of SCs. Particularly, constructing asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) can extend their electrochemical stable voltage windows (ESVWs) and thus achieve high energy density. However, only full utilization of the electrochemical stable potential windows (ESPWs) of both positive and negative electrodes can endow the ASC devices with a maximum ESVW by using a suitable mass-ratio between two electrodes (the mass-balancing). Nevertheless, insufficient attention is directed to mass-balancing, and even numerous misunderstandings and misuses have appeared. Therefore, in this Perspective, we focus on the mass-balancing: summarize theoretic basis of the mass-balancing, derive relevant relation equations, analyze and discuss the change trends of the specific capacitance and energy density of ASCs with mass-ratios, and finally recommend some guidelines for the normative implementation of the mass-balancing. Especially, the issues related to pseudocapacitive materials, hybrid devices, and different open circuit potentials (OCPs) of the positive and negative electrodes in the mass-balancing are included and emphasized. These analyses and guidelines can be conducive to understanding and performing mass-balancing for developing high-performance SCs.

Abstract
In this work, the properties of a novel electrolyte based on the combination of bio-based ƴ-valerolactone (GVL) solvent with lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB) salt and its use for lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are presented. It is shown that the 1 m LiBOB in GVL electrolyte displays good transport properties, high thermal stability, and the ability to prevent anodic dissolution. Its impact on the performance of both battery-type and capacitive-type electrodes is evaluated. In this regard, special attention is paid to the filming properties associated with LiBOB and GVL decomposition at the electrode surfaces. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the full-cell devices assembled in this study are the first example of a fluorine-free LIC. These devices exhibit a favorable energy-to-power ratio, delivering 80 Wh kg-1 AM at 10 000 W kg-1 AM along with excellent cycling stability, retaining 80% of the initial capacitance after 25 000 cycles. Furthermore, post-mortem analysis of the LIC electrodes is conducted to gain deeper insights into the degradation mechanisms within the device.

Abstract
Pursuing high power density with low platinum catalysts loading is a huge challenge for developing high-performance fuel cells (FCs). Herein, a new super fuel cell (SFC) is proposed with ultrahigh output power via specific electric double-layer capacitance (EDLC) + oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) parallel discharge, which is achieved using the newly prepared catalyst, single-atomic platinum on bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived hollow porous carbon nanorods (PtSA /HPCNR). The PtSA-1.74 /HPCNR-based SFC has a 3.4-time higher transient specific power density and 13.3-time longer discharge time with unique in situ self-charge and energy storage ability than 20% Pt/C-based FCs. X-ray absorption fine structure, aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscope, and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the synergistic effect of Pt single-atoms anchored on carbon defects significantly boosts its electron transfer, ORR catalytic activity, durability, and rate performance, realizing rapid " ORR+EDLC" parallel discharge mechanism to overcome the sluggish ORR process of traditional FCs. The promising SFC leads to a new pathway to boost the power density of FCs with extra-low Pt loading.

Abstract
Dual-ion hybrid capacitors (DIHCs) are a promising class of electrochemical energy storage devices intermediate between batteries and supercapacitors, exhibiting both high energy and power density, and generalizable across wide chemistries beyond lithium. In this study, a model carbon framework material with a periodic structure containing exclusively 1.2 nm width pores, zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC), was investigated as the positive electrode for the storage of a range of anions relevant to DIHC chemistries. Screening experiments were carried out across 21 electrolyte compositions within a common stable potential window of 3.0-4.0 V vs. Li/Li+ to determine trends in capacity as a function of anion and solvent properties. To achieve fast rate capability, a binary solvent balancing a high dielectric constant with a low viscosity and small molecular size was used; optimized full-cells based on LiPF6 in binary electrolyte exhibited 146 Wh kg-1 and >4000 W kg-1 energy and power densities, respectively.

Abstract
Hybrid ion capacitors (HICs) are emerging as promising energy-storage devices exhibiting the advantages of both batteries and supercapacitors. However, the difference in the electrodes' specific capacities and rate capabilities makes it extremely challenging to achieve optimum mass balancing for a full-cell HIC device. Here, we demonstrate a method to predict well-performing mass ratios of electrodes for a Na-HIC by analyzing the capacities of anodes and cathodes as a function of the actual current densities experienced by the individual electrodes. We employ a simple design tool, a "Ragone Plot Simulator", to predict specific energy and specific power on Ragone plots and study the performance trend of devices with varying electrode mass ratios. The validation of the proposed method is done based on the experimental data obtained from several hybrid ion capacitor devices reported in the literature, which closely matches with the simulated Ragone plots. Further, we exemplify the validity of our calculations by comparing the simulated Ragone plot with that of a Na-HIC fabricated using in-house-made carbon. This unique approach presents a simple, generalized, yet never reported, method, which could be employed as a design tool to guide the selection of optimized HIC devices for the intended applications.
