Abstract
Intelligent micro/nanorobots based on natural materials as biotemplates are considered to be some of the most promising robots in the future in the microscopic field. Due to the advantages of biotemplates such as unique structure, abundant resources, environmental friendliness, easy removal, low price, easy access, and renewability, intelligent micro/nanorobots based on biotemplates can be endowed with both excellent biomaterial activity and unique structural morphology through biotemplates themselves and specific functions through artificial micro/nanotechnology. Thus, intelligent micro/nanorobots show excellent application potential in various fields from biomedical applications to environmental remediation. In this review, we introduce the advantages of using natural biological materials as biotemplates to build intelligent micro/nanorobots, and then, classify the micro/nanorobots according to different types of biotemplates, systematically detail their preparation strategies and summarize their application prospects. Finally, in order to further advance the development of intelligent micro/nanorobots, we discuss the current challenges and future prospects of biotemplates. Intelligent micro/nanorobots based on biotemplates are a perfect combination of natural biotemplates and micro/nanotechnology, which is an important trend for the future development of micro/nanorobots. We hope this review can provide useful references for developing more intelligent, efficient and safe micro/nanorobots in the future.

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes the innovations and advances in using algae and their derivatives in different parts of Li-ion batteries. Applications in Li-ion battery anodes, electrolytes, binders, and separators were discussed. Algae provides a sustainable feedstock for different materials that can be used in Li-ion batteries, such as carbonaceous material, biosilica, biopolymers, and other materials that have unique micro- and nano-structures that act as biotemplates for composites structure design. Natural materials and biotemplates provided by algae have various advantages, such as electrochemical and thermal stability, porosity that allows higher storage capacity, nontoxicity, and other properties discussed in the paper. Results reveal that despite algae and its derivatives being a promising renewable feedstock for different applications in Li-ion batteries, more research is yet to be performed to evaluate its feasibility of being used in the industry.

Abstract
Poor intrinsic conductivity and the presence of irreversible lithiation phase affect the electrochemical performance of silicon oxycarbide anode materials. Even though it can be improved by increasing free carbon content or composition, scarification of reversible capacity and initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) remain as challenge. Here, polycarbosilane (PCS) with alternating distribution of silicon and carbon atoms is employed as precursor of SiOC ceramics. Air oxidation cross-linking is used to regulate the content of oxygen and carbon elements in PCS at atom level, so as to explore a solution to improve the intrinsic conductivity and reversible lithium phase content of SiOC ceramics. This strategy provides extremely excellent rate capability, areal/volumetric capacity, and ICE. This is also the first concept for feasible precursor structure design to control the SiOC glass phase and regulate the growth of C nanoribbon that can improve the intrinsic conductivity and reversible capacity of SiOC ceramic anode materials.

Abstract
In the last few years, researchers have focused their attention on the synthesis of new catalyst structures based on or inspired by nature. Biotemplating involves the transfer of biological structures to inorganic materials through artificial mineralization processes. This approach offers the main advantage of allowing morphological control of the product, as a template with the desired morphology can be pre-determined, as long as it is found in nature. This way, natural evolution through millions of years can provide us with new synthetic pathways to develop some novel functional materials with advantageous properties, such as sophistication, miniaturization, hybridization, hierarchical organization, resistance, and adaptability to the required need. The field of application of these materials is very wide, covering nanomedicine, energy capture and storage, sensors, biocompatible materials, adsorbents, and catalysis. In the latter case, bio-inspired materials can be applied as catalysts requiring different types of active sites (i.e., redox, acidic, basic sites, or a combination of them) to a wide range of processes, including conventional thermal catalysis, photocatalysis, or electrocatalysis, among others. This review aims to cover current experimental studies in the field of biotemplating materials synthesis and their characterization, focusing on their application in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Silicon oxycarbides (SiOC) are regarded as potential anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, although inferior cycling stability and rate performance greatly limit their practical applications. Herein, amorphous SiOC is synthesized from Chlorella by means of a biotemplate method based on supercritical fluid technology. On this basis, tin particles with sizes of several nanometers are introduced into the SiOC matrix through the biosorption feature of Chlorella. As lithium-ion battery anodes, SiOC and Sn@SiOC can deliver reversible capacities of 440 and 502 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 100 mA g-1 with great cycling stability. Furthermore, as-synthesized Sn@SiOC presents an excellent high-rate cycling capability, which exhibits a reversible capacity of 209 mAh g-1 after 800 cycles at 5000 mA g-1 ; this is 1.6 times higher than that of SiOC. Such a novel approach has significance for the preparation of high-performance SiOC-based anodes.

Abstract
TiO2-based nanomaterials are demonstrated to be a promising candidate for next generation lithium ion batteries due to their stable performance and easy preparation. However, their inherent low capacity impedes their wide application compared to commercial carbon nanomaterials. Here we present a unique in situ grafting-graphitization method to achieve a ternary nanocomposite of C/SiO x /TiO2 ultrathin nanobelts with a core-shell heterostructure. The obtained ternary nanocomposite integrates the merits of high specific capacity of SiO x , the excellent mechanical stability of graphite-like carbon and the high reactivity of TiO2. Cyclic voltammetric curves and cycling performance manifest the optimal ternary nanocomposite and deliver a very high initial specific capacity of ∼1196 mA h g-1 with both good rate capability (∼200 mA h g-1 up to 10 C) and especially enhanced cycle stability. Our work demonstrates that building hierarchical core-shell heterostructures is an effective strategy to improve capacity and cycling performance in other composite anodes for electrochemical energy storage materials.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is one of the most attractive candidates for the next-generation energy storage system. However, the intrinsic insulating nature of sulfur and the notorious polysulfide shuttle are the major obstacles, which hinder the commercial application of Li-S battery. Confining sulfur into conductive porous carbon matrices with designed polarized surfaces is regarded as a promising and effective strategy to overcome above issues. Herein, we propose to use microalgaes (Schizochytrium sp.) as low-cost, renewable carbon/nitrogen precursors and biological templates to synthesize N-doped porous carbon microspheres (NPCMs). These rational designed NPCMs can not only render the sulfur-loaded NPCMs (NPCSMs) composites with high electronic conductivity and sulfur content, but also greatly suppress the diffusion of polysulfides by strongly physical and chemical adsorptions. As a result, NPCSMs cathode demonstrates a superior reversible capacity (1030.7 mA h g-1) and remarkable capacity retention (91%) at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles. Even at an extremely high current density of 5 A g-1, NPCSMs still can deliver a satisfactory discharge capacity of 692.3 mAh g-1. This work reveals a sustainable and effective biosynthetic strategy to fabricate N-doped porous carbon matrices for high performance sulfur cathode in Li-S battery, as well as offers a fascinating possibility to rationally design and synthesize novel carbon-based composites.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are important energy storage devices. As a material with good mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, low-carbon silicon oxycarbide (LC-SiOC), a kind of silicone oil-derived SiOC, is of interest as an anode material, and we have examined the electrochemical behavior of LC-SiOC in LIB and LIC devices. We found that the lithium storage mechanism in LC-SiOC, prepared by pyrolysis of phenyl-rich silicon oil, depends on an oxygen-driven rather than a carbon-driven mechanism within our experimental scope. An investigation of the electrochemical performance of LC-SiOC in half- and full-cell LIBs revealed that LC-SiOC might not be suitable for full-cell LIBs because it has a lower capacity (238 mAh g-1) than that of graphite (290 mAh g-1) in a cutoff voltage range of 0-1 V versus Li/Li+, as well as a substantial irreversible capacity. Surprisingly, LC-SiOC acts as a pseudocapacitive material when it is tested in a half-cell configuration within a narrow cutoff voltage range of 0-1 V versus Li/Li+. Further investigation of a "hybrid" supercapacitor, also known as an LIC, in which LC-SiOC is coupled with an activated carbon electrode, demonstrated that a power density of 156 000 W kg-1 could be achieved while maintaining an energy density of 25 Wh kg-1. In addition, the resulting capacitor had an excellent cycle life, holding ∼90% of its energy density even after 75 000 cycles. Thus, LC-SiOC is a promising active material for LICs in applications such as heavy-duty electric vehicles.
