Abstract
Melanin-inspired nanomaterials offer unique photophysical, electronic and radical scavenging properties that are widely explored for health and environmental preservation, or energy conversion and storage. The incorporation of functional melanin building blocks in more complex nanostructures or surfaces is typically achieved via a bottom-up approach starting from a molecular precursor, in most cases dopamine. Here we demonstrate that indeed, the oxidative polymerization of dopamine, for the synthesis of melanin-like polydopamine (PDA), leads to the simultaneous formation of more than one nanosized species with different compositions, morphologies and properties. In particular, a low-density polymeric structure and dense nanoparticles (NP) are simultaneously formed. The two populations could be separated and analyzed in real time using a chromatographic technique free of any stationary phase (flow field fractionation, FFF). The results following the synthesis of melanin-like PDA showed that the NP are formed only during the first 6 hours as a result of a supramolecular self-assembly-driven polymerization, while the formation of the polymer continues for about 36 hours. The two populations were also separated and characterized using TEM, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence and light scattering spectroscopy, DLS, FTIR, ζ-potential measurements, gel electrophoresis and pH titrations. Interestingly, very different properties between the two populations were observed: in particular the polymer contains a higher number of catechol units (8 mmol g-1 -OH) with respect to the NP (1 mmol g-1 -OH) and presents a much higher antioxidant activity. The attenuation of light by NP is more efficient than that by the polymer especially in the Vis-NIR region. Moreover, while the NP scatter light with an efficiency up to 27% they are not fluorescent, and the polymer does not scatter light but shows an excitation wavelength-dependent fluorescence typical of multi-fluorophoric uncoupled systems.

Abstract
Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3), with rich resources and high electrochemical activity, including in conversion and alloying reactions, has been regarded as an ideal candidate anode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, the severe volume expansion, sluggish kinetics, and polyselenide shuttle of the Sb2Se3-based anode lead to serious pulverization at high current density, restricting its industrialization. Herein, a unique structure of Sb2Se3 nanowires uniformly anchored between Ti3C2Tx (MXene) nanosheets was prepared by the electrostatic self-assembly method. The MXene can impede the volume expansion of Sb2Se3 nanowires in the sodiation process. Moreover, the Sb2Se3 nanowires can reduce the restacking of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets and enhance electrolyte accessibility. Furthermore, density functional theory calculations confirm the increased reaction kinetics and better sodium storage capability through the composite of Ti3C2Tx with Sb2Se3 and the high adsorption capability of Ti3C2Tx to polyselenides. Therefore, the resultant Sb2Se3/Ti3C2Tx anodes show high rate capability (369.4 mAh/g at 5 A/g) and cycling performance (568.9 and 304.1 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles and at 1.0 A/g after 500 cycles). More importantly, the full sodium-ion batteries using the Sb2Se3/Ti3C2Tx anode and Na3V2(PO4)3/carbon cathode exhibit high energy/power densities and outstanding cycle performance.

Bonding iron chalcogenides in a hierarchical structure for high-stability sodium storage. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 637:251-261.

Abstract
Owing to price-boom and low-reserve of Lithium ion batteries (LIBs), cost-cutting and well-stocked sodium ion batteries (SIBs) attract a lot of attention, aiming to develop an effective energy storage and conversion equipment. As a typical anode for SIBs, Iron sulfide (FeS) is difficult to maintain the high theoretical capacity. Structural instability and inherent low conductivity limit the cyclic and rate performance of FeS. Herein, hierarchical architecture of FeS-FeSe2 coated with nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) is obtained by single-step solvothermal method and two-stage high-temperature treatments. Specifically, lattice imperfections provided by heterogeneous interfaces increase the Na+ storage sites and fasten ion/electron transfer. Synergistic effect induced by the hierarchical architecture effectively enhances the electrochemical activity and reduces the resistance, which contributes to the transfer kinetics of Na+. In addition, the phenomenon that heterogeneous interfaces provide more active site and extra migration Na+ path is also proved by density functional theory (DFT). As an anode for SIBs, FeS-FeSe2/NC (FSSe/C) delivers highly reversible capacity (704.5 mAh·g-1 after 120 cycles at 0.2 A·g-1), excellent rate performance (326.3 mAh·g-1 at 12 A·g-1) and long-lasting durability (492.3 mAh·g-1 after 1000 cycles at 4 A·g-1 with 100 % capacity retention). Notably, the full battery, assembled with FSSe/C and Na3V2(PO4)3/C (NVP/C), delivers reversible capacity of 252.1 mAh·g-1 after 300 cycles at 1 A·g-1. This work provides a facile method to construct a hierarchical architecture anode for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Metal selenides are considered as one of the most promising anode materials for Na-ion batteries owing to high specific capacity and relatively higher electronic conductivity compared with metal sulfides or oxides. However, such anodes still suffer from huge volume change upon repeated Na+ insertion/extraction processes and simultaneously undergo severe shuttle effect of polyselenides, thus leading to poor electrochemical performance. Herein, a facile chemical-blowing and selenization strategy to fabricate 3D interconnected hybrids built from metal selenides (MSe, M = Mn, Co, Cr, Fe, In, Ni, Zn) nanoparticles encapsulated in in situ formed N-doped carbon foams (NCFs) is reported. Such hybrids not only provide ultrasmall active nanobuilding blocks (≈15 nm), but also efficiently anchor them inside the conductive NCFs, thus enabling both high-efficiency utilization of active components and high structural stability. On the other hand, Cu-driven replacement reaction is utilized for efficiently inhibiting the shuttle effect of polyselenides in ether-based electrolyte. Benefiting from the combined merits of the unique MSe@NCFs and the utilization of the conversion of metal selenides to copper selenides, the as-obtained hybrids (MnSe as an example) exhibit superior rate capability (386.6 mAh g-1 up to 8 A g-1 ) and excellent cycling stability (347.7 mAh g-1 at 4.0 A g-1 after 1200 cycles).

Abstract
Utilization of hot carriers is very crucial in improving the efficiency of solar energy devices. In this work, we have fabricated an Sb2Se3/CdSe p-n heterojunction via a cation exchange method and investigated the possibility of hot electron transfer and relaxation pathways through ultrafast spectroscopy. The enhanced intensity of the CdSe hot excitonic (1P) bleach in the heterostructure system confirmed the hot electron transfer from Sb2Se3 to CdSe. Both the 1S and 1P signals are dynamically very slow in the heterosystem, validating this charge migration phenomenon. Interestingly, recovery of the 1P signal is much slower than that of 1S. This is very unusual as 1S is the lowest-energy state. This observation indicates the strength of hot electron transfer in this unique heterojunction, which helps in increasing the carrier lifetime in the hot state. Extended separation of charge carriers and enhanced hot carrier lifetime would be extremely helpful in extracting carriers and boost the performance of optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Metal 1T phase molybdenum disulfide (1T-MoS2) is being actively considered as a promising anode due to its high conductivity, which can improve electron transfer. Herein, we elaborately designed stable Sb-doped metallic 1T phase molybdenum sulfide (1T-MoS2-Sb) with a few-layered nanosheet structure via a simple calcination technique. The N-doping of the carbon and Sb-doping induce the formation of T-phase MoS2, which not only effectively enhances the entire stability of the structure, but also improves its cycling performance and stability. When employed as an anode of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), 1T-MoS2-Sb exhibits a reversible capacity of 493 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles and delivers prominent long-term performance (253 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 2200 cycles) along with decent rate capability. Paired with a Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode, it displays a superior capacity of 242 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 over 100 cycles, which is one of the best performances of a MoS2-based full cell for SIBs. Employed as the anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), it exhibits a satisfactory specific capacity of 343 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles. This facile strategy will provide new insights for designing T-phase advanced anode materials for SIBs/PIBs.

Abstract
Transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) with tunable direct bandgaps and interlayer spacing are attractive for energy-related applications. Semiconducting zinc chalcogenides, especially their selenides (ZnSe) and tellurides (ZnTe), with enhanced conductivity, high theoretical capacity, low operation voltage and abundance, have appeared on the horizon and receive increasing interest in terms of electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Despite the existing typical obstruction owing to the large volume change, relatively low electrical conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion kinetics into the bulk phase, several effective strategies such as compositing, doping, nanostructuring, and electrode/cell design have exhibited promising applications. We herein provide a timely and systematic overview of recent research and significant advances regarding ZnSe, ZnTe and their hybrids/composites, covering synthesis to electrode design and to applications, especially in advanced Li/Na/K-ion batteries, as well as the reaction mechanisms thereof. It is hoped that the overview will shed new light on the development of ZnSe and ZnTe for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Transition-metal selenides have been recognized as a class of promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) on account of their high capacity. Nevertheless, the sluggish conversion kinetics and rapid capacity decay caused by insufficient conductivity and volume change restrain their applications. Herein, hollow heterostructured bimetallic selenides embedded in an N-doped carbon nanoframework (H-CoSe2/ZnSe@NC) were prepared via a facile template-engaged method. Benefiting from the rich defect at the phase boundary of the CoSe2/ZnSe heterostructure, pre-reserved cavity, and enhanced structure rigidity, the abovementioned issues are resolved at once, and the accelerated charge transportation kinetics traced by spectroscopy techniques and theoretical calculations certify the interface effect in the capacity release. In addition, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy all confirm the high-reversible electrochemical conversion mechanism in H-CoSe2/ZnSe@NC. Together with a reasonable structural architecture and the highly reversible conversion reaction, H-CoSe2/ZnSe@NC displays a prominent rate capacity (244.8 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1) as well as an ultralong lifespan (10,000 cycles at 10 A g-1), highlighting the significance of structure control in fabricating high-performance anodes for SIBs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for energy storage due to their low cost and the large abundance of sodium resources. The search for new anode materials for SIBs has become a vital approach to satisfying the ever-growing demands for better performance with higher energy/power densities, improved safety and a longer cycle life. Recently, antimony (Sb) has been extensively researched as a promising candidate due to its high specific capacity through an alloying/dealloying process. In this review article, we will focus on different categories of the emerging Sb based anode materials with distinct sodium storage mechanisms including Sb, two-dimensional antimonene and antimony chalcogenide (Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3). For each part, we emphasize that the novel construction of an advanced nanostructured anode with unique structures could effectively improve sodium storage properties. We also highlight that sodium storage capability can be enhanced through designing advanced nanocomposite materials containing Sb based materials and other carbonaceous modification or metal supports. Moreover, the recent advances in operando/in-situ investigation of its sodium storage mechanism are also summarized. By providing such a systematic probe, we aim to stress the significance of novel nanostructures and advanced compositing that would contribute to enhanced sodium storage performance, thus making Sb based materials as promising anodes for next-generation high-performance SIBs.
