Abstract
Core-shell honeycomb-like Co3O4@C microspheres were synthesized via a facile solvothermal method and subsequent annealing treatment under an argon atmosphere. Owing to the core-shell honeycomb-like structure, a long cycling life was achieved (a high reversible specific capacity of 318.9 mA h g-1 was maintained at 5C after 1000 cycles). Benefiting from the coated carbon layers, excellent rate capability was realized (a reversible specific capacity as high as 332.6 mA h g-1 was still retained at 10C). The design of core-shell honeycomb-like microspheres provides a new idea for the development of anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Doping is regarded as a prominent strategy to optimize the crystal structure and composition of battery materials to withstand the anisotropic expansion induced by the repeated insertion and extraction of guest ions. The well-known knowledge and experience obtained from doping engineering predominate in cathode materials but have not been fully explored for anodes yet. Here, we propose the practical doping of fluorine ions into the host lattice of nickel oxide to unveil the correlation between the crystal structure and electrochemical properties. Multiple ion transmission pathways are created by the orderly two-dimensional nanosheets, and thus the stress/strain can be significantly relieved with trace fluorine doping, ensuring the mechanical integrity of the active particle and superior electrochemical properties. Density functional theory calculations manifest that the F doping in NiO could improve crystal structural stability, modulate the charge distribution, and enhance the conductivity, which promotes the performance of lithium-ion storage.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of metal/metal carbide (Co, Ni, and Fe3C) nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNT) and its application as the anode materials for lithium-ion battery (LIB). The electron microscopy images confirm the encapsulation of metal NPs inside the carbon nanotubes, which can inhibit the NPs aggregations and offer long cycle life for LIB. The metal/metal carbide encapsulated NCNT as anode material exhibits higher specific capacity than pure NCNT. The cyclic voltammetry studies reveal that Co, Ni, and Fe3C NPs can oxidize and reduce the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer components of the anode. This offers the extra specific capacity to Fe3C/NCNT, Co/NCNT, and Ni/NCNT anodes by retracting the interphasial stored Li+ ions. Moreover, in this study, the catalytic activity of Co, Ni, and Fe3C NPs for tailoring the SEI components are compared for the first time, and it shows Fe3C/NCNT anode has the highest catalytic activity than Co/NCNT and Ni/NCNT. Co/NCNT and Fe3C/NCNT also exhibit good cycle life up to 1300 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1. Overall, this work demonstrates an effective strategy to improve the performance of LIB anode by retracting the interphasial stored Li+ ions.

Abstract
A 3D porous graphene composite film containing Ni/NiO hybrid nanoparticles (Ni/NiO NPs) is prepared by combining electrophoresis deposition and thermal H2 annealing techniques. The Ni/NiO NPs with a mean diameter of 45 nm are uniformly embedded on both the exterior and interior surfaces of reduced graphene, forming a 3D porous reduced graphene oxide composite film (Ni/NiO rGO). The insertion of Ni/NiO NPs into rGO greatly improves the electric conductivity and charge storage capability of the resultant Ni/NiO rGO film. By directly using it as freestanding electrodes, the fabricated lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor respectively exhibited high capacities of 758 mAh g-1@ 0.2 A g-1 and 430.8 F g-1@0.5 A g-1, an increase of 82.3-fold and 20.2-fold compared to the pure rGO electrode-based counterparts under the same condition.

Abstract
Control over composition and morphology of nanocrystals (NCs) is significant to develop advanced catalysts applicable to polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and further overcome the performance limitations. Here, we present a facile synthesis of Pd-Pt alloy ultrathin assembled nanosheets (UANs) by regulating the growth behavior of Pd-Pt nanostructures. Iodide ions supplied from KI play as capping agents for the {111} plane to promote 2-dimensional (2D) growth of Pd and Pt, and the optimal concentrations of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and ascorbic acid result in the generation of Pd-Pt alloy UANs in high yield. The prepared Pd-Pt alloy UANs exhibited the remarkable enhancement of the catalytic activity and stability toward ethanol oxidation reaction compared to irregular-shaped Pd-Pt alloy NCs, commercial Pd/C, and commercial Pt/C. Our results confirm that the Pd-Pt alloy composition and ultrathin 2D morphology offer high accessible active sites and favorable electronic structure for enhancing electrocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials show great potential for use in battery electrodes and are believed to be particularly promising for high-rate applications. However, there does not seem to be much hard evidence for the superior rate performance of 2D materials compared to non-2D materials. To examine this point, we have analyzed published rate-performance data for a wide range of 2D materials as well as non-2D materials for comparison. For each capacity-rate curve, we extract parameters that quantify performance which can then be analyzed using a simple mechanistic model. Contrary to expectations, by comparing a previously proposed figure of merit, we find 2D-based electrodes to be on average ∼40 times poorer in terms of rate performance than non-2D materials. This is not due to differences in solid-state diffusion times which were similarly distributed for 2D and non-2D materials. In fact, we found the main difference between 2D and non-2D materials is that ion mobility within the electrolyte-filled pores of the electrodes is significantly lower for 2D materials, a situation which we attribute to their high aspect ratios.

Abstract
Oxide conversion reactions are known to have substantially higher specific capacities than intercalation materials used in Li-ion batteries, but universally suffer from large overpotentials associated with the formation of interfaces between the resulting nanoscale metal and Li2O products. Here we use the interfacial sensitivity of operando X-ray reflectivity to visualize the structural evolution of ultrathin NiO electrodes and their interfaces during conversion. We observe two additional reactions prior to the well-known bulk, three-dimensional conversion occurring at 0.6 V: an accumulation of lithium at the buried metal/oxide interface (at 2.2 V) followed by interfacial lithiation of the buried NiO/Ni interface at the theoretical potential for conversion (at 1.9 V). To understand the mechanisms for bulk and interfacial lithiation, we calculate interfacial energies using density functional theory to build a potential-dependent nucleation model for conversion. These calculations show that the additional space charge layer of lithium is a crucial component for reducing energy barriers for conversion in NiO.

Abstract
On account of the large radius of K-ions, the electrodes can suffer huge deformation during K-ion insertion and extraction processes. In our work, we unveil the impact of using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) instead of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as binders for K-ion storage. Our porous hollow carbon submicrosphere anodes using the CMC binder exhibit a reversible capacity of 208 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles at 50 mA g-1, and even at a high current density of 1 A g-1, they achieve a reversible capacity of 111 mA h g-1 over 3000 cycles with almost no decay, demonstrating remarkably improved reversibility and cycling stability than those using PVDF (18 mA h g-1 after 3000 cycles at 1 A g-1). It is showed that the CMC binder can result in higher adhesion force and better mechanical performance than the PVDF binder, which can restrain the crack during a potassiation/depotassiation process. According to the test of adhesion force, the hollow carbon submicrospheres using the CMC binder show above three times of average adhesion force than that using the PVDF binder. Furthermore, based on the rational design, our hollow carbon submicrospheres also exhibit 62.3% specific capacity contribution below 0.5 V vs K/K+ region, which is helpful to design the full cell with high energy density. We believe that our work will highlight the binder effect to improve the K-ion storage performance.

Abstract
Solid electrolytes are considered as strong alternatives for conventional liquid electrolytes to overcome the safety issues of next-generation high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Although Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 (LAGP) has satisfied ionic conductivity at room temperature (∼10-4 S cm-1), high stability in air, and can be easily sintered, it still suffers from instability of the lithium metal. Moreover, the large interfacial resistance between solid electrolytes and solid electrodes and the stress generated by the volumetric change of lithium metal anodes during cycling would deteriorate the performance of LMBs. Here, we report an effective solution to overcome the abovementioned problems by introducing a three-dimensional gel polymer electrolyte at the interface between LAGP pellets and lithium metal anodes, achieving stable cycling of LiFePO4//Li cells at room temperature for 300 cycles. Besides, the degeneration mechanisms of the interfaces of LAGP pellets under different conditions are compared, and peculiar properties different from their counterparts were found.

Abstract
Metal oxides are considered as attractive candidates as anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high capacities compared to commercialized graphite. However, fast capacity fading, which is caused by inherent large volume expansions and agglomeration of active particles upon cycling, is a great challenge. Herein, we propose the design of porous CaFe2O4 electrode material to address the above issue. Compared to pristine iron oxides, CaFe2O4 exhibits a distinct trade-off in terms of high capacity and long-term stability, which is beneficial to the potential practical applications. Such a trade-off effect is attributed to the synergistic effect between the porous structure and the in situ formed CaO nanograins during charging/discharging processes. This work provides an effective strategy in achieving anode materials with high capacity and long-term stability for next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
The high theoretical specific capacity of nickel oxide (NiO) makes it attractive as a high-efficiency electrode material for electrochemical energy storage. However, its application is limited due to its inferior electrochemical performance and complicated electrode fabrication process. Here, we developed an in situ fabrication of a graphene-coated, three-dimensional (3D) NiO–Ni structure by simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD). We synthesized NiO layers on Ni foam through a thermal oxidation process; subsequently, we grew graphene layers directly on the surface of NiO after a hydrogen-assisted reduction process. The uniform graphene coating renders high electrical conductivity, structural flexibility and high elastic modulus at atomic thickness. The graphene-coated 3D NiO–Ni structure delivered a high areal density of ∼23 mg cm−2. It also exhibits a high areal capacity of 1.2 mA h cm−2 at 0.1 mA cm−2 for its Li-ion battery performance. The high capacity is attributed to the high surface area of the 3D structure and the unique properties of the graphene layers on the NiO anode. Since the entire process is carried out in one CVD system, the fabrication of such a graphene-coated 3D NiO–Ni anode is simple and scalable for practical applications. The processing of graphene coated NiO–Ni anode using one CVD system delivered high Li-ion battery performance.![]()

Abstract
Carbon black nanospheres were turned to hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNs) and were used as the conductive additive in the cathodes of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). The results show that 10 wt % HCN added to the LIB cathodes, such as LiMn2O4, LiCoO2, LiNiMnCoO2, and LiFePO4, can provide significantly higher specific capacity than those using spherical carbon black. For example, a specific capacity of the LiMn2O4/HCN/PVDF cathode at 80:10:10 wt % with a bulk electrical conductivity of 1.07 Ω cm-2 is 125 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C from 3.0 to 4.3 V versus Li+/Li, which is 3.85-fold higher than that using Super P. The stability tested at 1 C remains over 95% after 800 charge/discharge cycles with 100% Coulombic efficiency. Replacing the present carbon black conductive additive with HCN in this work may be one of the best choices to increase the charge storage performance of LIBs rather than only focusing on the development of active cathode materials.

Abstract
Rate capability as well as power performance of lithium ion batteries (LiBs) is becoming more and more important, especially as the application targets of LiBs move from mobile devices to transportation, such as EVs and HEVs. In this research, we report porous graphene sponge additives for both anode and cathode materials for better rate performance. The charge capacity retention improved from 56% to 77% at 6C and from 7% to 45% at 10C with 0.5 wt% added to the anode, while the discharge capacity retention at the 6C rate improved from 43% to 76% and the 10C rate discharge improved from 16% to 40% with the same amount of MG added to the cathode. The cyclability at high rate was also improved with the MG additive. Moreover, preparation of the MG was facile, cost-effective, and compatible with commercially available active materials. These results demonstrate the suitability of MG for use with LiB additives to ensure better rate capability and high rate cyclability.

Abstract
Used as a bare active material or component in hybrids, graphene has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years. Indeed, from the first report that appeared in late July 2008, almost 1600 papers were published as of the end 2015 that investigated the properties of graphene as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Although an impressive amount of data has been collected, a real advance in the field still seems to be missing. In this framework, attention is focused on the most prominent research efforts in this field with the aim of identifying the causes of such relentless progression through an insightful and critical evaluation of the lithium-ion storage performances (i.e., 1st cycle irreversible capacity, specific gravimetric and volumetric capacities, average delithiation voltage profile, rate capability and stability upon cycling). The "graphene fever" has certainly provided a number of fundamental studies unveiling the electrochemical properties of this "wonder" material. However, analysis of the published literature also highlights a loss of focus from the final application. Hype-driven claims, not fully appropriate metrics, and negligence of key parameters are probably some of the factors still hindering the application of graphene in commercial batteries.

Abstract
Known as an excellent energy storage material, ZnMn2O4 has a wide range of applications in supercapacitors. In this report, a special sandwich-like structure of ZnMn2O4/C has been first designed and synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method and subsequent calcinations. The designed special sandwich-like structure can benefit ion exchange and remit the probable volume changes during a mass of electrochemical reactions. Furthermore, the porous carbon nanosheets, derived from low-cost glucose, can effectively increase ion flux. Therefore, the novel sandwich-like ZnMn2O4 nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanosheets can undoubtedly demonstrate an exceptional electrochemical performance for SCs. In this work, the composite material with porous sandwich-like structure exhibits excellent cyclic stability for 5000 cycles (∼5% loss) and high specific capacitance of 1786 F g-1.

Abstract
Oxide conversion reactions in lithium ion batteries are challenged by substantial irreversibility associated with significant volume change during the phase separation of an oxide into lithia and metal species (e.g., NiO + 2Li(+) + 2e(-) → Ni + Li2O). We demonstrate that the confinement of nanometer-scale NiO layers within a Ni/NiO multilayer electrode can direct lithium transport and reactivity, leading to coherent expansion of the multilayer. The morphological changes accompanying lithiation were tracked in real-time by in-operando X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and ex-situ cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy on well-defined periodic Ni/NiO multilayers grown by pulsed-laser deposition. Comparison of pristine and lithiated structures reveals that the nm-thick nickel layers help initiate the conversion process at the interface and then provide an architecture that confines the lithiation to the individual oxide layers. XRR data reveal that the lithiation process starts at the top and progressed through the electrode stack, layer by layer resulting in a purely vertical expansion. Longer term cycling showed significant reversible capacity (∼800 mA h g(-1) after ∼100 cycles), which we attribute to a combination of the intrinsic bulk lithiation capacity of the NiO and additional interfacial lithiation capacity. These observations provide new insight into the role of metal/metal oxide interfaces in controlling lithium ion conversion reactions by defining the relationships between morphological changes and film architecture during reaction.

Abstract
An electrode's conductivity, ion diffusion rate, and flexibility are critical factors in determining its performance in a lithium-ion battery. In this study, NiO-carbon fibers were modified with multifunctional graphene sheets, resulting in flexible mats. These mats displayed high conductivities, and the transformation of active NiO to inert Ni(0) was effectively prevented at relatively low annealing temperatures in the presence of graphene. The mats were also highly flexible and contained large gaps for the rapid diffusion of ions, because of the addition of graphene sheets. The flexible NiO-graphene-carbon fiber mats achieved a reversible capacity of 750 mA h/g after 350 cycles at a current density of 500 mA/g as the binder-free anodes of lithium-ion batteries. The mats' rate capacities were also higher than those of either the NiO-carbon fibers or the graphene-carbon fibers. This work should provide a new route toward improving the mechanical properties, conductivities, and stabilities of mats using multifunctional graphene.

Abstract
Development of an anode material with high performance and low cost is crucial for implementation of next-generation Na-ion batteries (NIBs) electrode, which is proposed to meet the challenges of large scale renewable energy storage. Metal chalcogenides are considered as promising anode materials for NIBs due to their high theoretical capacity, low cost, and abundant sources. Unfortunately, their practical application in NIBs is still hindered because of low conductivity and morphological collapse caused by their volume expansion and shrinkage during Na(+) intercalation/deintercalation. To solve the daunting challenges, herein, we fabricated novel three-dimensional (3D) Cu2NiSnS4 nanoflowers (CNTSNs) as a proof-of-concept experiment using a facile and low-cost method. Furthermore, homogeneous integration with reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (RGNs) endows intrinsically insulated CNTSNs with superior electrochemical performances, including high specific capacity (up to 837 mAh g(-1)), good rate capability, and long cycling stability, which could be attributed to the unique 3D hierarchical structure providing fast ion diffusion pathway and high contact area at the electrode/electrolyte interface.

Abstract
To realize flexible lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the design of flexible electrode/current collector materials with high mechanical flexibility, superior conductivity and excellent electrochemical performance and electrical stability are highly desirable. In this work, we developed a new ternary Cd2GeO4 nanowire/graphene oxide/carbon nanotube nanocomposite (Cd2GeO4 NW/GO/CNT) film electrode. Benefiting from the efficient combination of GO and Cd2GeO4 NWs, our Cd2GeO4 NW/GO/CNT composite film exhibits a capacity of 784 mA h g(-1) after 30 cycles at 200 mA g(-1), which is 2.7 times higher than that of Cd2GeO4 NW/CNT film (290 mA h g(-1)). At a higher rate of 400 mA g(-1) and 1 A g(-1), the Cd2GeO4 NW/GO/CNT film delivers a stable capacity of 617 and 397 mA h g(-1), respectively. Even at 2.5 A g(-1), it still exhibits a high rate capacity of 180 mA h g(-1). The flexible Cd2GeO4 NW/GO/CNT film clearly demonstrates good cycling stability and rate performance for anode materials in LIBs. This route may be extended to design other flexible free-standing metal germanate nanocomposite anode materials.

Abstract
Low-content ultrathin coating of non-active alumina (Al2O3) has been extensively utilized as one of the most effective strategies to improve electrochemical performances of electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), however, typically by employing expensive atomic layer deposition equipment. We herein demonstrate a simple preparation of high-content and well-dispersed Al2O3 (24.33wt.%)-containing multi-component composite (CoO/Co3O4/N-C/Al2O3) by calcination of melamine/CoAl-layered double hydroxide (CoAl-LDH) mixture. The resulting composite bundles the advantages expected to improve electrochemical performances: (i) bi-active CoO/Co3O4, (ii) highly conductive N-doped carbon, and (iii) N-doped carbon and high-content non-active Al2O3 as buffering reagents, as well as (iv) good distribution of bi- and non-active components resulted from the lattice orientation and confinement effect of the LDH layers. Electrochemical evaluation shows that the composite electrode delivers a highly enhanced reversible capacity of 1078mAhg(-1) after 50cycles at 100mAg(-1), compared with the bi-active CoO/Co3O4 mixtures with and without non-active Al2O3. Transmission electron microscopy/scanning electron microscopy observations and electrochemical impedance spectra experimentally provide the information on the good distributions of multiple components and the improved conductivity underlying the enhancements, respectively. Our LDH precursor-based preparation route may be extended to design and prepare various multi-component transition metal oxides for efficient lithium storage.

Abstract
3D annealed SnO2/graphene sheet foams (ASGFs) are synthesized by in situ self-assembly of graphene sheets prepared by mild chemical reduction. L-ascorbyl acid is used to effectively reduce the SnO2 nanoparticles/graphene oxide colloidal solution and form the 3D conductive graphene networks. The annealing treatment contributes to the formation of the Sn-O-C bonds between the SnO2 nanoparticles and the reduced graphene sheets, which improves the electrochemical performance of the foams. The ASGF has features of typical aerogels: low density (about 19 mg cm(-3)), smooth surface and porous structure. The ASGF anodes exhibit good specific capacity, excellent cycling stability and superior rate capability. The first reversible specific capacity is as high as 984.2 mAh g(-1) at a specific current of 200 mA g(-1). Even at the high specific current of 1000 mA g(-1) after 150 cycles, the reversible specific capacity of ASGF is still as high as 533.7 mAh g(-1), about twice as much as that of SGF (297.6 mAh g(-1)) after the same test. This synthesis method can be scaled up to prepare other metal oxides particles/ graphene sheet foams for high performance lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and catalysts, etc.
