Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are considered promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their high energy density (2600 W h kg-1) and cost-effectiveness. However, the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides in sulfur cathodes and uncontrollable Li dendrite growth in Li metal anodes significantly impede the practical application of Li-S batteries. In this study, we address these challenges by employing a high-entropy Prussian blue analogue Mn0.4Co0.4Ni0.4Cu0.4Zn0.4[Fe(CN)6]2 (HE-PBA) composite containing multiple metal ions as a dual-functional mediator for Li-S batteries. Specifically, the HE-PBA composite provides abundant metal active sites that efficiently chemisorb lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) to facilitate fast redox conversion kinetics of LiPSs. In Li metal anodes, the exceptional lithiophilicity of the HE-PBA ensures a homogeneous Li ion flux, resulting in uniform Li deposition while mitigating the growth of Li dendrites. As a result, our work demonstrates outstanding long-term cycling performance with a decay rate of only 0.05% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 2.0 C. The HE-PBA@Cu/Li anode maintains a stable overpotential even after 600 h at 0.5 mA cm-2 under the total areal capacity of 1.0 mA h cm-2. This study showcases the application potential of the HE-PBA in Li-S batteries and encourages further exploration of prospective high-entropy materials used to engineer next-generation batteries.

Abstract
Due to the sluggish kinetics of sulfur conversion and the large volume change of the lithium anode, along with the formation of lithium dendrites, lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) usually exhibit severe capacity decay and poor cycle life. It is necessary to consider the factors associated with cathodes, separators and anodes in an integrated manner to solve the problems existing in LSBs. In this paper, a vertically aligned porous carbon decorated with transition metal sulfides was introduced between a cathode and an anode to comprehensively solve the problems of LSBs. Widely existing natural wood was used as the framework structure, and Mo2S3 with abundant sulfur vacancies was deposited into its channels. Theoretical calculations and experimental results have confirmed a low energy barrier for sulfur conversion and the presence of a strong electric field around the spacer, which benefits fast ion transportation. As a result, on employing the multifunctional spacer, LSB full cells delivered a high initial capacity and a long cycle life. This study provides a reference for reducing development cost, simplifying optimization steps and promoting the commercial application of LSBs.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur battery has attracted significant attention by virtues of their high theoretical energy density, natural abundance, and environmental friendliness. However, the notorious shuttle effect of polysulfides intermediates severely hinders its practical application. Herein, a novel 2D mesoporous N-doped carbon nanosheet with confined bimetallic CoNi nanoparticles sandwiched graphene (mNC-CoNi@rGO) is successfully fabricated through a coordinating interface polymerization and micelle mediated co-assembly strategy. mNC-CoNi@rGO serves as a robust host material that endows lithium-sulfur batteries with a high reversible capacity of 1115 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C after 100 cycles, superior rate capability, and excellent cycling stability with 679.2 mAh g-1 capacity retention over 700 cycles at 1 C. With sulfur contents of up to 5.0 mg cm-2 , the area capacity remains to be 5.1 mAh cm-2 after 100 cycles at 0.2 C. The remarkable performance is further resolved via a series of experimental characterizations combined with density functional theory calculations. These results reveal that the ordered mesoporous N-doped carbon-encapsulated graphene framework acts as the ion/electron transport highway with excellent electrical conductivity, while bimetallic CoNi nanoparticles enhance the polysulfides adsorption and catalytic conversion that simultaneously accelerate the multiphase sulfur/polysulfides/sulfides conversion and inhibit the polysulfides shuttle.

Abstract
Interfacial thermal resistance is the main barrier restricting the heat dissipation of thermal management materials in electronic equipment. The interface structure formed by covalent bonding is an effective way to promote interfacial heat transfer. Herein, an integrated composite with multi-aspect covalent bonding beneficial for heat transmission is constructed by polyimide (PI) polymerization with maleimide modified graphene nanosheets (M@GNS). The interfacial structure with low thermal resistance built by covalent bonding and oriented graphene arrangement initiated by the coating process makes the in-plane thermal conductivity of the composite as high as 16.10 W m-1 K-1. Finite element simulation and 1000 bending tests are carried out to further verify the performance advantages of the integrated structure in the internal thermal diffusion and long-term use of the composite. M@GNS/PI with integrated structure provides extra heat transfer channels for heat dissipation, possibly providing an effective way to address the traditional thermal accumulation issue of electronic devices.

Abstract
2D imidazole MOFs are considered to be ideal carbon precursors for oxygen reduction reactions owing to their adjustable ligand components and durable coordination mode. Due to the massive electron delocalization in the lamella, the conjugative effect among 2D MOF layers immensely restricts the exposure of catalytic sites after carbonization, which makes the decoupling layer extremely important on the premise of ensuring activity. Herein, atomic thickness ultra-thin zinc-imidazole MOF precursors were prepared through a bottom-up ligand regulated strategy to achieve the aim of lamellar decoupling. The introduction of heterologous ligands excites stable delocalized electrons, resulting in a decrease in the interlayer force of 2D zinc-imidazole MOF precursors. Subsequent salt template-supported ammonia pyrolysis assisted the MOF-derived carbon sheets to grow along the transverse direction and optimize pore size distribution as did the doping nitrogen type. The MOF-derived carbon sheets demonstrated increasing mesopores and fringe graphitic N which could significantly promote the mass transfer and electron transfer speed during the oxygen reduction reaction. In addition, the obtained ultra-thin carbon delivered an outstanding onset potential (0.98 V vs. RHE) and durability (retaining 91% of the initial current after 12000 s of operation), showing tremendous commercial prospects in sustainable energy.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have attracted much attention considering their efficient combination of high energy density and high-power density. However, to meet the increasing requirements of energy storage devices and the flexible portable electronic equipment, it is still challenging to develop flexible LIC anodes with high specific capacity and excellent rate capability. Herein, we propose a delicate bottom-up strategy to integrate unique Schiff-base-type polymers into desirable one-dimensional (1D) polymeric structures. A secondary-polymerization-induced template-oriented synthesis approach realizes the 1D integration of Schiff-base porous organic polymers with appealing characteristics of a high nitrogen-doping level and developed pore channels, and a further thermalization yields flexible nitrogen-enriched carbon nanofibers with high specific capacity and fast ion transport. Remarkably, when used as the flexible anode in LICs, the NPCNF//AC LIC demonstrates a high energy density of 154 W h kg-1 at 500 W kg-1 and a high power density of 12.5 kW kg-1 at 104 W h kg-1. This work may provide a new scenario for synthesizing 1D Schiff-base-type polymer derived nitrogen-enriched carbonaceous materials towards promising free-standing anodes in LICs.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials with high electrical conductivity, good chemical, and mechanical stability have attracted increasing attentions and shown wide applications in recent years. In particularly, hollow carbon nanomaterials, which possess ultrahigh specific surface area, large surface-to-volume ratios, and controllable pore size distribution, will benefit to provide abundant active sites, and mass loading vacancy, accelerate electron/ion transfer as well as contribute to the specific density of energy storage systems. In this mini-review, we summarize the recent progresses of hollow carbon nanomaterials by focusing on the synthesis approaches and corresponding nanostructures, including template-free and hard-template carbon hollow structures, metal organic framework-based hollow carbon structures, bowl-like and cage-like structures, as well as hollow fibers. The design and synthesis strategies of these hollow carbon nanomaterials have been systematically discussed. Finally, the emerging challenges and future prospective for developing advanced hollow carbon structures were outlined.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are deemed as one of the most promising next generation energy storage system substitutes for conventional lithium ion batteries due to their high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness. The practical application of LSBs has long been blocked by the serious lithium polysulfide (LiPS) shuttle effect and notorious Li dendrite growth, inducing fast capacity decay and limited cycling lifespan. Herein, fluorinated carbon prepared via a safe and scalable strategy has rationally been coated on a separator affording bifunctional fluorinated Celgard (F-Celgard) for LSB construction. The F-Celgard shows superior Li+ flux modulation and LiPS trapping capability, which has been verified by the density function theory calculations. The Li symmetric cells demonstrate long and stable Li plating/stripping with much smaller polarization voltage and dendrite-free Li deposition. In addition, LSBs show superior rate performances with higher discharge capacities and long-time stable cycling over 1000 cycles at 1 C with a low decay rate of ∼0.038% per cycle. With a high sulfur loading (∼5.2 mg cm-2), a high initial areal capacity of ∼4.2 mAh cm-2 can be obtained with a superior capacity retention of ∼91.8% at 0.2 C.

Abstract
The broad application of metal-air batteries and fuel cells have been greatly limited due to their slow kinetics of oxygen electrodes involving the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and therefore the development of high-efficient, low-cost and high-reserve ORR electrocatalysts is of great significance. Herein, a hypersaline-protected pyrolysis strategy is presented for preparing 3D honeycombed cobalt, nitrogen co-doped carbon nanosheets (Co/N-CNS) by using eco-friendly biomass as a carbon and nitrogen source. During the hypersaline-protected pyrolysis, the pyridinic nitrogen-rich biomass facilitates the formation of highly active Co/N active sites among the resultant Co/N-CNS, while the templating-washing-drying cyclic utilization of salts creates honeycombed pore structures among the Co/N-CNS. Due to the structural features of honeycombed pores and uniform distributed active sites, the Co/N-CNS catalyst offers excellent ORR activity, high durability and methanol-tolerant performance in an alkaline electrolyte. As a demonstration, a primary Zn-air battery using the Co/N-CNS cathode delivers a high power density and excellent operating stability beyond that of commercial Pt/C cathode.

Abstract
A functioned PP was chosen as a separator to suppress the shuttling effect of soluble polysulfide in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Nanocubic cobalt phosphide/carbon (CoP/C) was modified on PP membrane through a simple vacuum filtration method. This CoP/C-modified PP separator not only efficiently captures polysulfides through strong chemical affinity but also facilitates the conversion of the soluble intermediates due to the fast transfer at the interface. In consequence, the cell with a CoP/C-modified separator exhibits a low-capacity decay of only 0.08% per cycle over 500 cycles at 1 C with an initial capacity of 938 mAh g-1 and a superior rate performance of 594 mAh g-1 at 4 C. Even with a high loading of 3.2 mg cm-2, the cell still exhibits an excellent reversible capacity of 601.3 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 C. This work provides a new strategy to effectively restrict the polysulfide shuttling.
