Abstract
Herein, a well-designed hierarchical architecture of bimetallic transition sulfide FeIn2S4 nanoparticles anchoring on the Ti3C2 MXene flakes has been prepared by cation exchange and subsequent high-temperature sulfidation processes. The introduction of MXene substrate with excellent conductivity not only accelerates the migration rate of Na+ to achieve fast reaction dynamics but provides abundant deposition sites for the FeIn2S4 nanoparticles. In addition, this hierarchical structure of MXene@FeIn2S4 can effectively restrain the accumulation of MXene to guarantee the maximized exposure of redox active sites into the electrolyte, and simultaneously relieve the volume expansion in the repeated discharging/charging processes. The MXene@FeIn2S4 displays outstanding rate capability (448.2 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1) and stable long cycling performance (428.1 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 200 cycles). Moreover, the Nay-In6S7 phase detected by ex-situ XRD and XPS characterization may be regarded as a "buffer" to maintain the stability of the Fe-based components and enhance the reversibility of the electrochemical reaction. This work confirms the practicability of constructing the hierarchical structure bimetallic sulfides with the promising electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Crystal transformation of metal compound cathodes during charge/discharge processes in alkali metal-ion batteries usually generates profound impact on structural stability and electrochemical performance, while the theme in anode materials, which always occurs and completes during the first redox cycle, is rarely explored probably due to the fast transformation dynamics. Herein, for the first time, a unique crystal transformation behavior with slow dynamics in anode of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is reported, which further promotes electrochemical performance. Specifically, irreversible γ → β crystal transformation of In2 Se3 is observed, induced by the persistent size degradation of In2 Se3 particles during repeated sodiation/desodiation, supported by a series of ex situ characterizations, such as HRTEM, XRD, and XPS of γ-In2 Se3 /reduced graphene oxide (γ-In2 Se3 @rGO) nanocomposite. The hybrid electrode shows ultrahigh long-term cycling stability (378 mA h g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 1000 cycles) and excellent rate capability (272 mA h g-1 at 20.0 A g-1 ). Full battery with Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 cathode also manifests superior performance, promising β-In2 Se3 dominated electrode materials in high-power and long-life SIBs. The first-principle calculations suggest the crystal transformation enhances electric conductivity of β-In2 Se3 and facilitates its accessibility to sodium. In combination with the synergistic effect between rGO matrix, substantially enhanced electrochemical performance is realized.

Abstract
Group IIIA-VA metal sulfides (GMSs) have attracted increasing attention because of their unique Na-storage mechanisms through combined conversion and alloying reactions, thus delivering large theoretical capacities and low working potentials. However, Na+ diffusion within GMSs anodes leads to severe volume change, generally representing a fundamental limitation to rate capability and cycling stability. Here, monodispersed In6 S7 /nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon hollow microspindles (In6 S7 /NSC HMS) are produced by morphology-preserved thermal sulfurization of spindle-like and porous indium-based metal organic frameworks. The resulting In6 S7 /NSC HMS anode exhibits theoretical-value-close specific capacity (546.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), ultrahigh rate capability (267.5 mAh g-1 at 30.0 A g-1 ), high initial coulombic efficiency (≈93.5%), and ≈92.6% capacity retention after 4000 cycles. This kinetically favored In6 S7 /NSC HMS anode fills up the kinetics gap with a capacitive porous carbon cathode, enabling a sodium-ion capacitor to deliver an ultrahigh energy density of 136.3 Wh kg-1 and a maximum power density of 47.5 kW kg-1 . The in situ/ex situ analytical techniques and theoretical calculation both show that the robust and fast Na+ charge storage of In6 S7 /NSC HMS arises from the multi-electron redox mechanism, buffered volume expansion, negligible morphological change, and surface-controlled solid-state Na+ transport.

Abstract
Recently, metal chalcogenides have received considerable attention as prospective anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of their high theoretical capacities based on their alloying or conversion reactions. Herein, we demonstrate a gallium(III) telluride (Ga2Te3)-based ternary composite (Ga2Te3-TiO2-C) synthesized via a simple high-energy ball mill as a great candidate SIB anode material for the first time. The electrochemical performance, as well as the phase transition mechanism of Ga2Te3 during sodiation/desodiation, is investigated. Furthermore, the effect of C content on the performance of Ga2Te3-TiO2-C is studied using various electrochemical analyses. As a result, Ga2Te3-TiO2-C with an optimum carbon content of 10% (Ga2Te3-TiO2-C(10%)) exhibited a specific capacity of 437 mAh·g-1 after 300 cycles at 100 mA·g-1 and a high-rate capability (capacity retention of 96% at 10 A·g-1 relative to 0.1 A·g-1). The good electrochemical properties of Ga2Te3-TiO2-C(10%) benefited from the presence of the TiO2-C hybrid buffering matrix, which improved the mechanical integrity and electrical conductivity of the electrode. This research opens a new direction for the improvement of high-performance advanced SIB anodes with a simple synthesis process.

Abstract
Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its high theoretical capacity and superior reversibility. However, its cycling life and rate performance are seriously impeded by the inferior inherent electroconductibility and tremendous volume change in the charging/discharging processes. Herein, a quasi three-dimensional (3D) Sb2S3/RGO/MXene composite, with Sb2S3 nanoparticles (∼15 nm) uniformly distributed in the quasi-3D RGO/MXene architecture, was prepared by a toilless hydrothermal treatment. The RGO/MXene conductive substrate not only alleviates the volume expansion of Sb2S3, but also promotes electrolyte infiltration and affords highways for ion/electron transport. More importantly, the synergistic effects between RGO and Ti3C2Tx MXene are extremely favourable to maintain the integrity of the electrode during cycling. As a result, the Sb2S3/RGO/MXene composite exhibits a high reversible capacity of 633 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, outstanding rate capability (510.1 mA h g-1 at 4 A g-1) and good cycling performance with a capacity loss of 16% after 500 cycles.

Abstract
Although graphite has been used as anodes of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) for 30 years, its unsatisfactory energy density makes it insufficient toward some new electronic products such as unmanned aerial vehicles. Herein, in situ synthesis of nano-GeP confined in nitrogen-doped carbon (GeP@NC) fibers was designed and performed via coaxial electrospinning followed by a phosphating process. This way ensured the paper-like GeP@NC-x electrode with high conductivity, high flexibility, and lightweight properties, which simultaneously solved the key scientific problems of difficulty in structural design and severe volume expansion of GeP. The inner diameter and wall thickness of the nanofibers can be effectively controlled by adjusting the size of electrospinning needles. It was suggested that the fibers not only effectively inhibited the growth of GeP, resulting in the synthesis of nano-GeP with size less than 50 nm, but also alleviated the volume expansion/agglomeration and improved the diffusion kinetics of Li+ in nano-GeP during cycling. The Li+ diffusion coefficient can be improved by reducing the inner diameter and wall thickness of the fibers. As a model system, the paper-like electrode (GeP@NC-2) with a fiber diameter of 280 nm and a wall thickness of 110 nm exhibited the best electrochemical performance. When applied as anodes in LiBs, it displayed a reversible capacity of 612 mAh g-1 at the 600th cycle at 1 A g-1, while GeP@NC-0 with a solid structure only delivered 239 mAh g-1. Furthermore, the GeP@NC-2 also exhibited good long-term cycling stability at 5 A g-1, and the capacity displayed a slight difference of 221.2 and 209.0 mAh g-1 in a voltage range of 0∼3 V and 0∼1.5 V, respectively. The well-defined synthetic approach combined with unique nanostructural design provided a meaningful reference for the rational design and development of next-generation flexible and high-performance LiB anodes.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) electrospun nanomaterials have attracted significant attention due to their unique structures and outstanding chemical and physical properties such as large specific surface area, distinct electronic and mass transport, and mechanical flexibility. Over the past years, the integration of metal sulfides with electrospun nanomaterials has emerged as an exciting research topic owing to the synergistic effects between the two components, leading to novel and interesting properties in energy, optics and catalysis research fields for example. In this review, we focus on the recent development of the preparation of electrospun nanomaterials integrated with functional metal sulfides with distinct nanostructures. These functional materials have been prepared via two efficient strategies, namely direct electrospinning and post-synthesis modification of electrospun nanomaterials. In this review, we systematically present the chemical and physical properties of the electrospun nanomaterials integrated with metal sulfides and their application in electronic and optoelectronic devices, sensing, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, thermal shielding, adsorption and separation, and biomedical technology. Additionally, challenges and further research opportunities in the preparation and application of these novel functional materials are also discussed.
