Abstract
The surface modification of amorphous carbon nanospheres (ACNs) through templates has attracted great attention due to its great success in improving the electrochemical properties of lithium storage materials. Herein, a safe methodology with toluene as a soft template is employed to tailor the nanostructure, resulting in ACNs with tunable surface pores. Extensive characterizations through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms elucidate the impact of surface pore modifications on the external structure, morphology, and surface area. Electrochemical assessments reveal the enhanced performance of the surface-pore-modified carbon nanospheres, particularly ACNs-100 synthesized with the addition of 100 μL toluene, in terms of the initial discharge capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability. The interesting phenomenon of persistent capacity increase is ascribed to lithium ion movement within the graphite-like interlayer, resulting in ACNs-100 experiencing a capacity upswing from an initial 320 mAh g-1 to a zenith of 655 mAh g-1 over a thousand cycles at a rate of 2 C. The findings in this study highlight the pivotal role of tailored nanostructure engineering in optimizing energy storage materials.

Abstract
Designing carbonaceous materials with heightened attention to the structural properties such as porosity, and to the functionalization of the surface, is a growing topic in the lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) field. Using a mesoporous silica KIT-6 hard template, mesoporous carbons belonging to the OMCs (ordered mesoporous carbons) family, namely 3D cubic CMK-8 and N-CMK-8 were synthesized and thoroughly structurally characterized. XPS analysis confirmed the successful introduction of nitrogen, highlighting the nature of the different nitrogen atoms incorporated in the structure. The work aims at evaluating the electrochemical performance of N-doped ordered mesoporous carbons as an anode in LIBs, underlining the effect of the nitrogen functionalization. The N-CMK-8 electrode reveals higher reversible capacity, better cycling stability, and rate capability, as compared to the CMK-8 electrode. Coupling the 3D channel network with the functional N-doping increased the reversible capacity to ~1000 mAh·g−1 for the N-CMK-8 from ~450 mAh·g−1 for the undoped CMK-8 electrode. A full Li-ion cell was built using N-CMK-8 as an anode, commercial LiFePO4, a cathode, and LP30 commercial electrolyte, showing stable performance for 100 cycles. The combination of nitrogen functionalization and ordered porosity is promising for the development of high performing functional anodes.

Abstract
2-Dimensional (2D) transition metal oxides are an emerging class of energy materials that offer a wide spectrum of potential applications in electrochemical energy storage. In this study, V2O5 nanosheets have been nano-engineered with 0D graphene quantum dots (GQDs) via a solvothermal treatment process, and they serve as an anode material to boost electrochemical energy storage properties. The interlayer embedded GQD endows V2O5 (VNS-GQD) with structural and compositional advantages for high-performance energy storage, including expanded interlayer distances between layers, fast electrochemical kinetics, and additional stability to buffer the volume variation. Moreover, the strong coupling effect between GQDs and VNS, an ultra-large interfacial area and enhanced electrical conductivity promote the intercalation pseudocapacitance. VNS-GQD exhibits the specific capacitance of 572 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and retains 92% of the initial capacitance after 10 000 charge-discharge cycles. The asymmetric supercapacitor exhibits superior electrochemical performance at a voltage window of 1.5 V. The energy density is 31.25 W h kg-1 at the power density of 2.25 kW kg-1, and maintains a superior energy density of 20.62 W h kg-1 at the high power density of 14.86 kW kg-1. The results of this study can provide an avenue for fabricating nano-sandwiched composites by embedding GQDs into interlayers of 2D transition metal oxide for ultra-high performance applications of energy storage devices.

Abstract
Tin oxide (SnO2) has been attractive as an alternative to carbon-based anode materials because of its fairly high theoretical capacity during cycling. However, SnO2 has critical drawbacks, such as poor cycle stability caused by a large volumetric variation during the alloying/de-alloying reaction and low capacity at a high current density due to its low electrical conductivity. In this study, we synthesized a porous SnO2 nanostructure (n-SnO2) that has a high specific surface area as an anode active material using the Adams fusion method. From the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis and transmission electron microscopy, the as-prepared SnO2 sample was found to have a mesoporous structure with a fairly high surface area of 122 m2 g−1 consisting of highly-crystalline nanoparticles with an average particle size of 5.5 nm. Compared to a commercial SnO2, n-SnO2 showed significantly improved electrochemical performance because of its increased specific surface area and short Li+ ion pathway. Furthermore, during 50 cycles at a high current density of 800 mA g−1, n-SnO2 exhibited a high initial capacity of 1024 mA h g−1 and enhanced retention of 53.6% compared to c-SnO2 (496 mA h g−1 and 23.5%). A porous SnO2 nanostructure as an anode active material showed significantly improved electrochemical performance.![]()

Abstract
Environmental applications of nanoparticles (NP) increasingly result in widespread NP distribution within porous media where they are subject to various concurrent transport mechanisms including irreversible deposition, attachment/detachment (equilibrium or kinetic), agglomeration, physical straining, site-blocking, ripening, and size exclusion. Fundamental research in NP transport is typically conducted at small scale, and theoretical mechanistic modeling of particle transport in porous media faces challenges when considering the simultaneous effects of transport mechanisms. Continuum modeling approaches, in contrast, are scalable across various scales ranging from column experiments to aquifer. They have also been able to successfully describe the simultaneous occurrence of various transport mechanisms of NP in porous media such as blocking/straining or agglomeration/deposition/detachment. However, the diversity of model equations developed by different authors and the lack of effective approaches for their validation present obstacles to the successful robust application of these models for describing or predicting NP transport phenomena. This review aims to describe consistently all the important NP transport mechanisms along with their representative mathematical continuum models as found in the current scientific literature. Detailed characterizations of each transport phenomenon in regards to their manifestation in the column experiment outcomes, i.e., breakthrough curve (BTC) and residual concentration profile (RCP), are presented to facilitate future interpretations of BTCs and RCPs. The review highlights two NP transport mechanisms, agglomeration and size exclusion, which are potentially of great importance in controlling the fate and transport of NP in the subsurface media yet have been widely neglected in many existing modeling studies. A critical limitation of the continuum modeling approach is the number of parameters used upon application to larger scales and when a series of transport mechanisms are involved. We investigate the use of simplifying assumptions, such as the equilibrium assumption, in modeling the attachment/detachment mechanisms within a continuum modelling framework. While acknowledging criticisms about the use of this assumption for NP deposition on a mechanistic (process) basis, we found that its use as a description of dynamic deposition behavior in a continuum model yields broadly similar results to those arising from a kinetic model. Furthermore, we show that in two dimensional (2-D) continuum models the modeling efficiency based on the Akaike information criterion (AIC) is enhanced for equilibrium vs kinetic with no significant reduction in model performance. This is because fewer parameters are needed for the equilibrium model compared to the kinetic model. Two major transport regimes are identified in the transport of NP within porous media. The first regime is characterized by higher particle-surface attachment affinity than particle-particle attachment affinity, and operative transport mechanisms of physicochemical filtration, blocking, and physical retention. The second regime is characterized by the domination of particle-particle attachment tendency over particle-surface affinity. In this regime although physicochemical filtration as well as straining may still be operative, ripening is predominant together with agglomeration and further subsequent retention. In both regimes careful assessment of NP fate and transport is necessary since certain combinations of concurrent transport phenomena leading to large migration distances are possible in either case.
