Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are considered as highly promising energy storage systems. However, the lack of cathode materials with fast Mg2+ diffusion kinetics and high energy density severely hinders the development of RMBs. Herein, a two-dimensional (2D) VO2/VS2 heterostructure as a RMB cathode material is proposed by introducing an O-V-O layer in VS2 to improve the discharge voltage and specific capacity while keeping the fast Mg2+ diffusion kinetics. Based on first principle calculations, the geometric structures, electronic characteristics of the VO2/VS2 heterostructure, and the adsorption properties and diffusion behaviors of Mg2+ in VO2/VS2 are systematically studied. The metallic properties of VO2/VS2 and a relatively low diffusion barrier of Mg2+ (0.6 eV) in VO2/VS2 enable a large potential in delivering high rate performance in actual RMBs. Compared with traditional VS2 materials (1.25 V), the average discharge platform of VO2/VS2 could be increased to 1.7 V. The theoretical capacities of the layered VS2 and VO2/VS2 are calculated as 233 and 301 mA h g-1, respectively. Thus, the VO2/VS2 heterostructure exhibits a high theoretical energy density of 511.7 W h kg-1, significantly surpassing that of VS2 (291.3 W h kg-1). This work provides important guidance for designing high-energy and high-rate 2D heterostructure cathode materials for RMBs and other multivalent ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries are key in the field of electrochemical energy storage, and the development of advanced electrode materials is essential to meet the increasing demand of electrochemical energy storage devices with higher density of energy and power. Anode materials are the key components of batteries. However, the anode materials still suffer from several challenges such as low rate capability and poor cycling stability, limiting the development of high-energy and high-power batteries. In recent years, heterojunctions have received increasing attention from researchers as an emerging material, because the constructed heterostructures can significantly improve the rate capability and cycling stability of the materials. Although many research progress has been made in this field, it still lacks review articles that summarize this field in detail. Herein, this review presents the recent research progress of heterojunction-type anode materials, focusing on the application of various types of heterojunctions in lithium/sodium-ion batteries. Finally, the heterojunctions introduced in this review are summarized, and their future development is anticipated.

Abstract
Regulating the electronic structure plays a positive role in improving the ion/electron kinetics of electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, an effective approach is demonstrated to achieve Ni/Mo2C hybrid nanoparticles embedded in porous nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (Ni/Mo2C/NC). Density functional theory calculations indicate that Ni can activate the interface of Ni/Mo2C by regulating the electronic structure, and accordingly improve the electron/Li-ion diffusion kinetics. The charge at the interface transfers from Ni atoms to Mo atoms on the surface of Mo2C, illustrating the formation of an interfacial electric field in Ni/Mo2C. The formed interfacial electric field in Ni/Mo2C can improve the intrinsic electronic conductivity, and reduce the Li adsorption energy and the Li+ diffusion barrier. Thus, the obtained Ni/Mo2C/NC shows an excellent high-rate capability of 344.1 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1, and also displays a superior cyclic performance (remaining at 412.7 mA h g-1 after 1800 cycles at 2 A g-1). This work demonstrates the important role of electronic structure regulation by assembling hybrid materials and provides new guidance for future work on designing novel electrode materials for LIBs.

Abstract
The disulfide compounds of molybdenum (MoS2 ) are layered van der Waals materials that exhibit a rich array of polymorphic structures. MoS2 can be roughly divided into semiconductive phase and metallic phase according to the difference in electron filling state of the 4d orbital of Mo atom. The two phases show completely different properties, leading to their diverse applications in biosensors. But to some extent, they compensate for each other. This review first introduces the relationship between phase state and the chemical/physical structures and properties of MoS2 . Furthermore, the synthetic methods are summarized and the preparation strategies for metastable phases are highlighted. In addition, examples of electronic and chemical property designs of MoS2 by means of doping and surface modification are outlined. Finally, studies on biosensors based on MoS2 in recent years are presented and classified, and the roles of MoS2 with different phases are highlighted. This review offers references for the selection of materials to construct different types of biosensors based on MoS2 , and provides inspiration for sensing performance enhancement.

Abstract
Long-term stable secondary batteries are highly required. Here, we report a unique microcapsule encapsulated with metal organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived Co3O4 nanocages for a Li-S battery, which displays good lithium-storage properties. ZIF-67 dodecahedra are prepared at room temperature then converted to porous Co3O4 nanocages, which are infilled into microcapsules through a microfluidic technique. After loading sulfur, the Co3O4/S-infilled microcapsules are obtained, which display a specific capacity of 935 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.5C in Li-S batteries. A Coulombic efficiency of about 100% is achieved. The constructed Li-S battery possesses a high rate-performance during three rounds of cycling. Moreover, stable performance is verified under both high and low temperatures of 50 °C and -10 °C. Density functional theory calculations show that the Co3O4 dodecahedra display large binding energies with polysulfides, which are able to suppress shuttle effect of polysulfides and enable a stable electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Magnesium ion battery is one of the promising next-generation energy storage systems. Nevertheless, lack of appropriate cathode materials to ensure massive storage and efficient migration of Mg cations is a big obstacle for development of Mg-ion batteries. Herein, by means of first principles calculations, the geometric structure, electronic structure, Mg intercalation behavior and Mg diffusion behavior of the layered MoO2and two MoOSe (MoOSe(I) and MoOSe(V)) were systematically investigated. Layered MoO2shows semiconductor properties, while MoOSe displays metallic characteristics which ensure higher conductivity. The Mg cations tend to intercalate into octahedral sites for both MoO2and MoOSe. The maximum Mg-storage phases of the layered MoO2, MoOSe(I) and MoOSe(V) correspond to Mg0.666MoO2, Mg0.666MoOSe(I) and Mg0.666MoOSe(V), with theoretical specific capacities of 279, 191 and 191 mAh g-1, respectively. The calculated discharge plateaus of MoO2and two MoOSe are all about 1 V, which ensure that the layered MoO2and MoOSe electrodes can act as cathodes for Mg-ion batteries in the early stage. Moreover, comparing with other cathodes, the diffusion barrier of Mg cations and volume expansion during Mg intercalation process are competitive. The results suggest that layered MoO2and MoOSe are the promising cathode materials for Mg-ion batteries.

Abstract
Janus transition metal dichalcogenides with unique physical properties have recently attracted increasing research interest for their energy and catalytic applications. In this paper, we investigate the lithiation behavior of a square phase Janus MoSSe monolayer (1S-MoSSe) using first-principles calculations. Computational results show that a single Li atom energetically prefers to adsorb on the central site of the octagonal ring (O site) and on the S-layer side of 1S-MoSSe. The predicted energy barriers for Li diffusion are surface dependent and in the range of 0.33 to 0.51 eV, indicating the acceptable Li migration kinetics on 1S-MoSSe in comparison with other 2D TMD materials. Further thermodynamic analysis demonstrates that Li adsorption on 1S-MoSSe is energetically stable up to a Li concentration of x = 1.0, above which the lithiation process becomes unstable with a negative charging potential. Phonon calculations also confirm that Li adsorption (0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.75) results in the lattice distortion of 1S-MoSSe in order to suppress the structural instability of the lithiated monolayer 1S-Li x MoSSe with imaginary phonon frequencies. The less symmetric nature of 1S-MoSSe is believed to destabilize Li adsorption at much smaller x than 1H-MoSSe does, regardless of the higher dipole moment of 1S-MoSSe. This computational study provides a fundamental understanding of the electrochemical performance of 1S-MoSSe, as well as useful insight into the material design of Janus TMD anodes for Li-ion batteries.
