Abstract
Graphite rod corrosion and peeling are serious problems in three-dimensional electrode biofilm reactors (3D-BERs). In this study, titanium rods, titanium suboxide-coated titanium rods and graphite rods were used as anodes to investigate the effect of anodic materials on the electrochemical and bioelectrochemical reduction of nitrate and sulfate. The results showed that the reactor with the titanium suboxide-coated titanium rod anode (3D-ER-T) exhibited a stable NO3--N removal efficiency (46%-95%) with a current range of 160-320 mA in the electrochemical reduction process. In the bioelectrochemical reduction, the removal efficiencies of NO3--N and SO42- and nitrogen selectivity in the 3D-BER with titanium suboxide-coated titanium rod anode (3D-BER-T) were higher than those in the 3D-BER with titanium suboxide-coated graphite rod anode (3D-BER-G). The removal efficiencies of NO3--N and SO42- and nitrogen selectivity were 92%, 43% and 86%, respectively, in 3D-BER-T under 320 mA and HRT 12 h. Anode materials affected the microbial community. Hydrogenophaga and Dethiobacter were the dominant bacteria in 3D-BER-T, while OPB41 and Sulfurospirillum were dominant in 3D-BER-G. Nitrate and sulfate were effectively removed in 3D-BER-T by the synergistic work of electrochemical reduction, bioelectrochemical reduction and indirect electrochemical reduction. The resupply/reserve mode of the electron donor promoted the load of shock resistance of 3D-BER-T via the sulfur cycle. Titanium suboxide coating could significantly enhance the anti-corrosion ability of matrix anodes.

Abstract
Exploiting high-rate anode materials with fast K+ diffusion is intriguing for the development of advanced potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) but remains unrealized. Here, heterostructure engineering is proposed to construct the dual transition metal tellurides (CoTe2/ZnTe), which are anchored onto two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. Various theoretical modeling and experimental findings reveal that heterostructure engineering can regulate the electronic structures of CoTe2/ZnTe interfaces, improving K+ diffusion and adsorption. In addition, the different work functions between CoTe2/ZnTe induce a robust built-in electric field at the CoTe2/ZnTe interface, providing a strong driving force to facilitate charge transport. Moreover, the conductive and elastic Ti3C2Tx can effectively promote electrode conductivity and alleviate the volume change of CoTe2/ZnTe heterostructures upon cycling. Owing to these merits, the resulting CoTe2/ZnTe/Ti3C2Tx (CZT) exhibit excellent rate capability (137.0 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1) and cycling stability (175.3 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles at 3.0 A g-1, with a high capacity retention of 89.4%). More impressively, the CZT-based full cells demonstrate high energy density (220.2 Wh kg-1) and power density (837.2 W kg-1). This work provides a general and effective strategy by integrating heterostructure engineering and 2D material nanocompositing for designing advanced high-rate anode materials for next-generation KIBs.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are regarded as the potential and promising anode materials for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) on account of their robust and porous crystalline structure. In this work, multilayer structural COF connected by double functional groups, including imine and amidogent through a simple solvothermalprocess, have been successfully synthesized. The multilayer structure of COF can provide fast charge transfer and combine the merits of imine (the restraint of irreversible dissolution) and amidogent (the supply of more active sites). It presents superior potassium storage performance, including the high reversible capacity of 229.5 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and outstanding cycling stability of 106.1 mAh g-1 at the high current density of 5.0 A g-1 after 2000 cycles, which is superior to the individual COF. The structural advantages of the covalent organic framework linking by double functional groups (d-COF) can develop a new road for that COF anode material for PIBs in further research.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) attract most of the attention as alterative secondary battery systems for future large-scale energy storage and power batteries due to abundance resource and low cost. However, the lack of anode materials with high-rate performance and high cycling-stability has limited the commercial application of SIBs. In this paper, Cu7.2S4@N, S co-doped carbon (Cu7.2S4@NSC) honeycomb-like composite structure was designed and prepared by a one-step high-temperature chemical blowing process. As an anode material for SIBs, Cu7.2S4@NSC electrode exhibited an ultra-high initial Coulomb efficiency (94.9%) and an excellent electrochemical property including a high reversible capacity of 441.3 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g-1, an excellent rate performance of 380.4 mAh g-1 even at 5 A g-1, and a superior long-cycle stability with a capacity retention rate of approximately 100% after 700 cycles at 1A g-1.

Abstract
Biomass-derived carbon (BC) has attracted extensive attention as anode material for lithium ion batteries (LiBs) due to its natural hierarchical porous structure and rich heteroatoms that can adsorb Li+. However, the specific surface area of pure biomass carbon is generally small, so we can help NH3 and inorganic acid produced by urea decomposition to strip biomass, improve its specific surface area and enrich nitrogen elements. The nitrogen-rich graphite flake obtained by the above treatment of hemp is named NGF. The product that has a high nitrogen content of 10.12% has a high specific surface area of 1151.1m2 g-1. In the lithium ion battery test, the capacity of NGF is 806.6 mAh g-1 at 30 mA g-1, which is twice than that of BC. NGF also showed excellent performance that is 429.2mAh g-1 under high current testing at 2000mA g-1. The reaction process kinetics is analyzed and we found that the outstanding rate performance is attributed to the large-scale capacitance control. In addition, the results of the constant current intermittent titration test indicate that the diffusion coefficient of NGF is greater than that of BC. This work proposes a simple method of nitrogen-rich activated carbon, which has a significantly commercial prospect.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective transition metal catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for the production of hydrogen fuel from water splitting. Low-cost and efficient stainless steel-based catalysts are expected to replace the scarce platinum group metals for large-scale energy applications. Here in this work, we report the conversion of commonly available inexpensive and easily accessible 434-L stainless steel (SS) into highly active and stable electrodes by corrosion and sulfuration strategies. The NixFe1-xS layer as a pre-catalyst and S-doped NixFe oxyhydroxides in situ formed on the catalyst surface are the true active species for OER. The optimized 434-L stainless steel-based electrocatalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 298 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 1.0 M KOH with a small OER kinetics (the Tafel slope of 54.8 mV dec-1) and good stability. This work reveals the 434-L alloy stainless steel with Fe and Cr as the main elements can be used as qualified OER catalysts by surface modification, along with a new mentality to solve the energy and resource waste problems.

Abstract
Mn3O4 nano-octahedrons embedded in N-doped graphene oxide (MNGO) nanosheets were synthesized using a simple, energy-efficient, and rapid microwave-digested hydrothermal route in a single step. The structural and morphological aspects of synthesized materials were evaluated by XRD, IR, Raman, FE-SEM, and HR-TEM techniques. Then, the composite MNGO was tested for its Li-ion storage properties and compared with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and Mn3O4 materials. The MNGO composite exhibited superior reversible specific capacity, excellent cyclic stability, and outstanding structural integrity throughout the electrochemical studies. The MNGO composite showed a reversible capacity of 898 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and Coulombic efficiency of 97.8%. Even at a higher current density of 500 mA g-1, it exhibits a higher specific capacity of 532 mA h g-1 (~1.5 times higher than commercial graphite anode). These results demonstrate that Mn3O4 nano-octahedrons embedded on N-doped GO are a highly durable and potent anode material for LIBs.

Abstract
TiO2 is considered as a low cost, long-term stable, and safe anode for high power K-ion hybrid capacitors (KICs) due to its abundant reserve, small volume expansion rate, and sloping voltage plateau that avoids K-ion plating at high voltage polarization. However, the enhancement of its low capacity and sluggish kinetics caused by poor electroconductivity and high insertion barrier is still challenging to further develop high-performance KICs. Herein, the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is embedded in the walls of 3D ordered macro-/mesoporous TiO2 (termed as TiO2@rGO framework) to create intimate TiO2/rGO interfaces, ensuring the effectively electron transportation during potassiation/depotassiation of TiO2 while maintaining rapid ions/electrolyte diffusion. Furthermore, the controlled amorphous TiO2 framework can further lower the lattice insertion energies, contributing to a fast accommodation of K-ion. As expected, the amorphous TiO2@rGO framework (TiO2@rGO-1) exhibits a superior rate capability (148.8 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1) and cycling stability (171.2 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 800 cycles). The assembled KICs can reach a high energy/power density of 125.2 Wh kg-1/4267.4 W kg-1 as well as a long-term lifespan. This tactic provides a reliable and general way to design a TiO2-based anode with fast kinetics toward high-performance KICs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are expected to be ideal alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the future due to their abundant and low-cost resource advantages. A key challenge in SIBs is the development of anodes capable of insertion/extraction of sodium ions (Na+) with large radii. Here, hollow bowl-shaped porous carbon materials are uniformly modified with vertically grown graphene (denoted as HBC/VGSs) demonstrating a large specific surface area and three-dimensional structure, which are employed as a viable high-performance anode for SIBs. HBC/VGSs anodes are highly effective at storing sodium because of their structural features. As a result, the HBC/VGSs electrodes provide a high reversible capacity of 409 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1, as well as outstanding rate capability (301.6 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1). Moreover, it also shows extraordinary cycling stability (230.3 mAh g-1 after 2500 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1) that is significantly better than the pristine hollow bowl-shaped porous carbon (HBC). Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (GITT) were used to analyze the pseudocapacitance and sodium storage kinetics. It was found that high electrical conductivity and large surface area can improve Na+ adsorption and diffusion, enhance the electronic conductivity, and deliver superior capacity and rate. The results, taken as a whole, provide new insight into the creation of long-lasting carbon anodes that deliver optimal performance in SIBs.

Abstract
Pyrite FeS2 now emerges as a promising anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its low cost and high theoretical capacity. However, the significant volume expansion, low electrical conductivity, and the ambiguous mechanism related to potassium storage severely hinder its development for PIBs anodes. Herein, FeS2 nanostructures are skillfully dispersed on the graphene surface layer by layer (FeS2@C-rGO) to form a sandwich structure by using Fe-based metal organic framework (Fe-MOF) as precursors. The unique structural design can improve the transfer kinetics of K+ and effectively buffer the volume expansion during cycling, thereby enhancing the potassium storage performance. As a result, the FeS2@C-rGO delivers a high capacity of 550 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 A/g. At a high rate of 2 A/g, the capacity can maintain 171 mAh/g even after 500 cycles. Moreover, the electrochemical reaction mechanism and potassium storage behavior are revealed by in-situ X-ray diffractionand density functional theory calculations. This work not only provides a novel insight into the structural design of electrode materials for high-performance PIBs, but also proposes a valuable understanding of the potassium storage mechanism of the FeS2-based anode.

Abstract
Oily sewage discharged from ships has brought many harms to the marine environment, even endangered marine life and human life. As a new type of water treatment technology, microbial fuel cell (MFC) can efficiently treat pollutants and recover energy, which can be converted into electric energy. However, its large internal resistance restricts its development. In order to solve the problems of low power generation performance and poor biocompatibility of microbial fuel cell, a gold nanoparticle-carbon quantum dot/polydopamine/graphene oxide/bacterial cellulose (AuNP-CQD/PDA/GO/BC) electrode was prepared, and it was applied to the treatment of oily sewage from ships. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and contact angle measuring instrument were used to characterize the electrode. The results show that PDA bridges GO and AuNP-CQD particles through the electrostatic interaction/π-π bond/hydrogen bonding, respectively. This attracts a large number of microorganisms to attach to the surface of the porous anode material, which greatly improves the activity and quantity of microorganisms. Moreover, the maximum power density of AuNP-CQD/PDA/GO/BC electrode is 2624.91 mW/m2, which obviously improves the electrochemical performance of MFC. The oil content of the treated water is ≤ 15 mg/L, reaching the discharge of MARPOL 73/78 convention. Therefore, the proposed approach has paved new dimensions in not only the preparation of a new composite electrode materials but also its applications as effective degradation of ship oily sewage in MFC.

Abstract
Generally, graphynes have been generated by the insertion of acetylenic content (-C≡C-) in the graphene network in different ratios. Also, several aesthetically pleasing architectures of two-dimensional (2D) flatlands have been reported with the incorporation of acetylenic linkers between the heteroatomic constituents. Prompted by the experimental realization of hexagonal boron phosphide, which has provided new insights on the 2D boron-pnictogen family, we have modelled novel forms of acetylene-mediated borophosphene nanosheets by joining the orthorhombic borophosphene stripes with different widths and with different atomic constituents using acetylenic linkers. Structural stabilities and properties of these novel forms have been assessed using first-principles calculations. Investigation of electronic band structure elucidates that all the novel forms show the linear band crossing closer to the fermi level at Dirac point with distorted Dirac cones. The linearity in the hole and electronic bands impose the high Fermi velocity to the charge carriers close to that of graphene. Finally, we have also unravelled the propitious features of acetylene-mediated borophosphene nanosheets as anodes in Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Due to the large ionic radius and associated slow reaction kinetics of potassium ions, it is a major challenge to find suitable anode materials for potassium-ion batteries. Herein, we design porous antimony-based nanofibres via a simple, low-cost and large scalable method to promote the electrochemical performance of potassium-ion batteries. Unlike those traditionally treated in inert atmospheres, using the different decomposition processes of polyacrylonitrile and polyvinylpyrrolidone in air, we obtain antimony trioxide embedded in porous carbon nanofibres (Sb2O3@PCN). The porous structure can promote the permeation of electrolyte into electrode materials and increase the active sites of the redox reaction. The porous carbonaceous fibre skeleton structure establishes a fast ion transport channel and enhances the kinetic performance. In a concentrated 5 M potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)-imide/dimethyl carbonate electrolyte, Sb2O3@PCN exhibits a stable discharge specific capacity of 437.3 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 after 50 cycles, which is much higher than that treated in a N2 atmosphere (247.5 mAh g-1). This method provides a new approach for the preparation of efficient potassium-ion battery electrode materials.

Abstract
As a green sustainable material, lignin-derived porous carbon (LPC) exhibits great application potential when used as the anode material in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but the applications are limited by the heterogeneity of the lignin precursor. Therefore, it is crucial to reveal the relationship among lignin properties, porous carbon structure and the kinetics of lithium-ion storage. Herein, LPCs from fractionated lignin have been prepared by an eco-friendly and recyclable activator. The structure of the LPCs was regulated by adjusting the molecular weight, linkage abundance and glass transition temperature (Tg) of lignin macromolecules. As the anode material of LIBs, the prepared 3D flower-like LPCE70 could achieve a reversible capacity of 528 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 after 200 cycles, 63 % higher than that of commercial graphite. Furthermore, kinetic calculations of lithium-ion storage behavior of LPCs were firstly used to confirm the contribution ratio of diffusion-controlled behavior and capacitive effect. Lignin with a high linkage abundance could yield LPCE70 with the largest interlayer spacing and specific surface area to maximize lithium-ion storage from both diffusion-controlled and capacitive contributions of specific capacities. This work provides a green, facile and effective pathway for value-added utilization of lignin in LIBs.

Abstract
As a flourishing member of the two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial family, MXenes have shown great potential in various research areas. In recent years, the continued growth of interest in MXene derivatives, 2D transition metal borides (MBenes), has contributed to the emergence of this 2D material as a latecomer. Due to the excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical properties and electrical properties, thus MBenes attract more researchers' interest. Extensive experimental and theoretical studies have shown that they have exciting energy conversion and electrochemical storage potential. However, a comprehensive and systematic review of MBenes applications has not been available so far. For this reason, we present a comprehensive summary of recent advances in MBenes research. We started by summarizing the latest fabrication routes and excellent properties of MBenes. The focus will then turn to their exciting potential for energy storage and conversion. Finally, a brief summary of the challenges and opportunities for MBenes in future practical applications is presented.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasingly growing interest regarding the use of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) which are considered highly promising alternative treatment techniques for addressing environmental issues related to pollutants of emerging concern. In EAOPs, electrogenerated oxidizing agents, such as hydroxyl radical (HO•), can react non-selectively with a wide range of organic compounds, degrading and mineralizing their structures to unharmful molecules like CO2, H2O, and inorganic ions. To this date, a broad spectrum of advanced electrocatalysts have been developed and applied for the treatment of compounds of interest in different matrices, specifically aiming at enhancing the degradation performance. New combined methods have also been employed as alternative treatment techniques targeted at circumventing the major obstacles encountered in Fenton-based processes, such as high costs and energy consumption, which still contribute significantly toward inhibiting the large-scale application of these processes. First, some fundamental aspects of EAOPs will be presented. Further, we will provide an overview of electrode materials which have been recently developed and reported in the literature, highlighting different anode and cathode structures employed in EAOPs, their main advantages and disadvantages, as well as their contribution to the performance of the treatment processes. The influence of operating parameters, such as initial concentrations, pH effect, temperature, supporting electrolyte, and radiation source, on the treatment processes were also studied. Finally, hybrid techniques which have been reported in the literature and critically assess the most recent techniques used for evaluating the degradation efficiency of the treatment processes.

Abstract
Eco-friendly pollutant treatment technology has a developing tendency in future. The combination of ultrasound (US) and electrochemical (EC) is a promising technology, because they are efficient, clean and environmentally friendly. In this study, the impacts of anode material have been investigated in US (300 kHz) and EC (10V) system. The results of all systems revealed that the kinetic constant decreased with increasing pH. The results are also shown that ΔG# > 0 and ΔH# > 0 during PCP degradation in EC or US-EC systems are non-spontaneous and endothermic reactions. Meanwhile, in the US-EC system, TiO2, Ti4O7, PbO2, SnSb, RuIr, and BDD, except for TiO2, all the anode materials showed a synergistic index (SI) of 106-197%, and the activation energies were 19.32, 33.4, 33.74, 32.84, 10.41, 36.44 kJ mol-1, respectively. In EC and US-EC systems, PCP can be completely mineralized by BDD anode within 30 min. TBA scavenger experiments verified that hydroxyl radicals were the main oxidant in each system using BDD and PbO2 anode. As a result of estimating the cost according to the anode material when removing PCP using the EC or US-EC system, BDD was the smallest in the two systems, 1.58 and 1.12 $ m-3, respectively. Finally, this study may serve as a reference for implementation of US-EC system in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a green technology and does not harm the environment. It can be used for wastewater treatment, hydrogen production and power generation. There are lot of avenues need to be investigated to increase the efficiency of MFC and in order to make it acceptable publicly. Efficiency of MFC depends on many factors. In this study, the influence of anode materials (Fe, Al and Zn), their sizes (12, 16 and 20 cm2) and shapes (square, rectangular and circular) were investigated on MFC efficiency. Dual chamber MFC setup was prepared in which Rhodobacter capsulatus was used as biocatalytic agent. Results revealed that Zn anode gave the highest voltage of 1.57 V with corresponding 0.23 A of current. Size of 20 cm2 of anode gave maximum voltage of 1.66 V with corresponding value of 0.08 A current, while anode size of 16 cm2 gave maximum current of 0.75 A with corresponding voltage of 1.65 V. Regarding their studied shapes, circular shape of anode gave the highest voltages of 1.70 V. Salt bridge played an important role in internal resistance of the fuel cell. The results were checked by changing the diameter and length of the salt bridge. The best results were noticed with 16 cm2 circular Zn anode and Fe as cathode. Salt bridge with 7.5 cm length gave the highest voltage of 1.65 V, while 4 gauge diameter salt bridge gave the highest current of 0.85 A.

Abstract
It is critical to developing low-cost and efficient catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate for the degradation of organic contaminants, whereas it remains challenging. In the study, a recycle method to synthesize efficient heterogeneous catalysts was developed by exploiting the anode electrode of spent lithium-ion batteries as the raw material based on a one-step calcination process. The recycled anode material (AM) composed of copper oxide and graphite carbon was capable of efficiently activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade a wide range of organic contaminants. In addition, an investigation was conducted on the effect of reactive parameters (e.g., catalyst dose, PMS dose, RhB concentration, and coexisting matters). Besides, the AM/PMS process could exhibit high effectiveness at a broad pH range (3-10) and in a real water matrix. The redox cycle of Cu(II)/Cu(I) in the AM acted as the predominated force to effectively facilitate the PMS activation for the formation of oxygen species, in which the SO4·- and 1O2 exerted a primary effect. Moreover, the non-radical pathway of electron transfer between RhB and PMS facilitated the removal of RhB. In this study, a reclamation approach was developed for the recycling of spent LIBs anodes, and insights into the development of catalysts in SR-AOPs were gained.

Abstract
Transition metal oxalates have attracted wide attention due to the characteristics of the conversion reaction as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), However, there are huge volume expansion and sluggish circulation dynamics during the reversible Li+ and Na+ insertion/extraction process, which would lead to unsatisfactory reversible capacity and stability. In order to solve these problems, a rod-like structure Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O is in-situ formed on the reduced graphene oxide layer (Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO) in a glycol-water mixture medium via an interface induced engineering strategy. Benefitting from the synergistic cooperation of nano-diameter rod-like structure and high conductive rGO networks, the experimental results show that the prepared Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO electrode has predominant rate performance and ultra-long cycle stability. For the LIBs, it not only exhibits an ultrahigh reversible capacity (1179.9 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 300 cycles), but also presents outstanding rate and cycling performance (646.5 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 1200 cycles). Besides, the Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO electrode displays remarkable sodium storage capacity of 221.6 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g-1. Further, the extraordinary electrochemical capability of Ni0.5Co0.5C2O4·2H2O/rGO active material is also reflected in two full-cells, assembled using commercial LiCoO2 as cathode for LIBs and commercial Na3V2(PO4)3 as cathode for SIBs, both of which can show wonderful specific capacity and cycling stability. It is found in in-situ Raman experiments that the reversible changes of oxalate peaks are monitored in a charge/discharge process, which is scientific evidence for the transform reaction mechanism of metal oxalates in LIBs. These findings not only provide important ideas for studying the charge/discharge storage mechanism but also give scientific basis for the design of high-performance electrode materials.

Abstract
Titanium niobate (TiNb2O7, TNO) possesses attractive discharge voltage and reversibility, which is considered to be an ideal anode material of lithium ion battery (LIB). However, its rate capability is strictly limited by their poor conductivity. To improve this issue faced by traditional TNO electrodes, a hierarchical conductive optimization strategy has been proposed and fabricated by a facile spray drying approach. For the construction, TiNb2O7@ultrathin carbon layer (TNO@C) is entangled into carbon nanotubes network to synthesize a highly conductive porous TNO@C/CNTs microsphere. This ultrathin carbon layer and evenly intertwined carbon nanotubes can ensure the superior charge transfer pathway, facilitating the transportation of electrons and Li ions. Additionally, CNTs can provide robust mechanical strength framework, beneficial to the structural stability of composite microspheres. As expected, the TNO@C/CNTs exhibits elevated conductivity and cyclic durability with charge capacities of 343.3 mAh·g-1 at 0.25 C after 300 cycles and 274.9 mAh·g-1 at 10 C after 1000 cycles. This study intends to explore the effect of the attached carbon materials on the TNO-based electrode conductivity and LIBs performances.

Abstract
The development of durable and stable metal oxide anodes for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) has been hampered by poor electrochemical performance and ambiguous reaction mechanisms. Herein, we design and fabricate molybdenum dioxide (MoO2)@N-doped porous carbon (NPC) nano-octahedrons through metal-organic frameworks derived strategy for PIBs with MoO2 nanoparticles confined within NPC nano-octahedrons. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of nanoparticle level of MoO2 and N-doped carbon porous nano-octahedrons, the MoO2@NPC electrode exhibits superior electron/ion transport kinetics, excellent structural integrity, and impressive potassium-ion storage performance with enhanced cyclic stability and high-rate capability. The density functional theory calculations and experiment test proved that MoO2@NPC has a higher affinity of potassium and higher conductivity than MoO2 and N-doped carbon electrodes. Kinetics analysis revealed that surface pseudocapacitive contributions are greatly enhanced for MoO2@NPC nano-octahedrons. In-situ and ex-situ analysis confirmed an intercalation reaction mechanism of MoO2@NPC for potassium ion storage. Furthermore, the assembled MoO2@NPC//perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) full cell exhibits good cycling stability with 72.6 mAh g-1 retained at 100 mA g-1 over 200 cycles. Therefore, this work present here not only evidences an effective and viable structural engineering strategy for enhancing the electrochemical behavior of MoO2 material in PIBs, but also gives a comprehensive insight of kinetic and mechanism for potassium ion interaction with metal oxide.

Abstract
Integration of photovoltaic (PV) power generation and energy storage has been widely believed to be the ultimate solution for future energy demands. Herein, an ingenious method was reported to make full use of photovoltaic silicon cutting waste (SiCW) natural characters fabricating PSi@SiOx/Nano-Ag composite as anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The sheet-like structure with nano/micropores and native SiOx layer addressed the volume expansion issues of Si material. Ag nanoparticles greatly enhanced electrical conductivity of composite and promoted Li+/e- transport. Synergistic effect of the designed PSi@SiOx/Nano-Ag composite contributed outstanding cyclic performance with reversible capacity of 1409mAhg-1 after 500 cycles. Notably, full LIBs with PSi@SiOx/Nano-Ag anode and commercial Li[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]O2 (NCM622) cathode delivered stable capacity of 137.5mAhg-1 at current density of 200 mA g-1, accompanying with a high energy density of 438 Wh kg-1. Furthermore, electrochemical Li+ storage behavior of this PSi@SiOx/Nano-Ag electrode was studied, and reaction mechanism and crystal structure evolution during cycles were also revealed by in-situ XRD analysis. The synthesis method is facile and cost-effective, which paves a novel way towards high-performance Si-based anodes and promising markets for both solar photovoltaic and lithium-ion battery industries.

Abstract
As two-dimensional (2D) materials, bismuth (Bi) has large interlayer spacing along c-axis (0.395 nm) which provides rich active sites for sodium ions, thus guaranteeing high sodium ion storage activity. However, its poor electrical conductivity, combined with its degraded cycling performance, restricts its practical application. Herein, Bi microsphere coated with nitrogen-doped carbon (Bi@NC) was synthesized. Owing to the unique Bi crystals and nitrogen-doped carbon layer, the obtained Bi@NC anode exhibited satisfactory cycling stability and superior rate capability. Moreover, after assembling Bi@NC anode with Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 @C cathode to full battery, excellent sodium storage performance was obtained (57 mA h g-1 after 2000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 ).

Abstract
The development of battery systems with high specific capacity and power density could fuel various energy-related applications from personal electronics to grid storage. (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4 possessing high theoretical specific capacity has been considered as a promising high rate anode material for lithium ion batteries due to the replacement of Fe3+ (0.64 Å) by Ti4+ (0.68 Å) with a larger radius to expand the interlayer space for ion intercalation. However, its extreme volume variation upon cycling as well as poor electrical conductivity hinder its further application. To tackle the above problems, in this work, we successfully synthesized two-dimensional (2D) (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4/C/MXene architecture derived from Ti3C2Tx MXene via solvo-hydrothermal, ultrasound hybridizing and high temperature annealing processes. The (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4/C/MXene shows a high discharge capacity of 757.2 mAh g-1 after 800 cycles at a current density of 3 A g-1 with excellent rate performance. The superior electrochemical performances are triggered primarily by the incorporation of carbon and MXene into (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4 moiety to construct a 2D layered structure, which can improve the ion diffusion and electron transport. In addition, the synergistic contributions from diffusion controlled and capacitive processes for (Fe2.5Ti0.5)1.04O4/C/MXene improve the ion diffusion rate and offer high specific capacity at high current density. The MXene-derived synthesis strategy in this work should be a promising pathway to synthesize other anode materials with 2D layered architecture for high performance lithium storage.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS2, have been considered to be a promising anode material for sodium storage. However, their performance have been limited by the sluggish sodium diffusion kinetics. In this work, high performance anode material was obtained through constructing hierarchical MoS2 nanosheets assembled hollow spheres. The used self-templating method show more feasibility than the commonly reported template removal-involved routes. The prepared hollow structure can also provide rapid and stable electron/sodium ion transport without the assistance of conducting substrates, which enables the MoS2 anodes exhibit a high specific capacity of 527 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. Even at a high current density of 1 A g-1, capacity of 357 mAh g-1 can still be obtained after 500 cycles (capacity retention ~94.5%). This work provides a facile way towards high performance MoS2 anode materials for sodium-ion battery.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of metal/metal carbide (Co, Ni, and Fe3C) nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNT) and its application as the anode materials for lithium-ion battery (LIB). The electron microscopy images confirm the encapsulation of metal NPs inside the carbon nanotubes, which can inhibit the NPs aggregations and offer long cycle life for LIB. The metal/metal carbide encapsulated NCNT as anode material exhibits higher specific capacity than pure NCNT. The cyclic voltammetry studies reveal that Co, Ni, and Fe3C NPs can oxidize and reduce the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer components of the anode. This offers the extra specific capacity to Fe3C/NCNT, Co/NCNT, and Ni/NCNT anodes by retracting the interphasial stored Li+ ions. Moreover, in this study, the catalytic activity of Co, Ni, and Fe3C NPs for tailoring the SEI components are compared for the first time, and it shows Fe3C/NCNT anode has the highest catalytic activity than Co/NCNT and Ni/NCNT. Co/NCNT and Fe3C/NCNT also exhibit good cycle life up to 1300 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1. Overall, this work demonstrates an effective strategy to improve the performance of LIB anode by retracting the interphasial stored Li+ ions.

Abstract
Five soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) with graphite felt, aluminium sheet, activated carbon fibre felt, graphite paper and carbon cloth as anodes were constructed using the petroleum hydrocarbon polluted soils as substrates. After 115 days of operation, the SMFC with graphite felt anode performed the best in both bioelectricity output and removal of target pollutants, with the bioelectricity output parameters of 345 mV for stable voltage, 24.0 mW/m2 for power density and 774 Ω for internal resistance, and the removal rates of 59.14 % for total petroleum hydrocarbon, 61.65 % for anthracene, and 55.92 % for pyrene, respectively. The conductivity of the material was the key factor affecting the electron transfer rate of the anode, which determined the electric acclimation and screening intensity of SMFC to soil microbes, leading to the growth and succession of the electricigens-dominanted anode microbial community with various abundances of phyla and genera. The surface structure of the anode material played a critical role in the internal resistance of SMFC through affecting the mass transfer of substrate and metabolites, and it might also change the abundance of microbes especially those non-electricigens on the community through different adhesion.

Abstract
Antimony-based materials with high theoretical capacity are known as promising anodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, they still face challenges from the large ionic radius of the K ion, which has sluggish kinetics. Much effort is needed to exploit high-performance electrode materials to satisfy the reversible capacity of PIBs. In this paper, nano Sb confined in N-doped carbon fibers (Sb@CN nanofibers) were successfully prepared through an electrospinning method, which was designed to improve potassium storage performances. Sb@CN nanofibers benefit from the fact that the synergy between the porous nanofiber frame structure and the uniformly distributed Sb nano-components in the carbon matrix can effectively accelerate the ion migration rate and reduce the mechanical stress caused by K+ insertion/extraction, Sb@CN nanofiber electrodes thus exhibited excellent potassium storage performance, especially long cycle stability, as expected. When utilized as a PIB anode, they delivered high reversible capacity of 360.2 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 50 mA g-1, and a particularly stable capacity of 212.7 mAh g-1 was also obtained after 1000 cycles even at 5000 mA g-1. Given such outstanding electrochemical performances, this work is expected to provide insight into the development and exploration of advanced alloy-type electrodes for PIBs.

Abstract
Sodium (Na)-ion batteries (NIBs) and potassium (K)-ion batteries (KIBs) have grabbed great attention because they are cheaper, more abundant in earth, and safer alternatives of lithium-ion batteries. However, the lack of anode materials for NIBs/KIBs with good performance has been the main obstacle. In this paper, we studied monolayer MnC by carrying out calculations on the basis of first principle study to see if it can be a potential anode material for NIBs and KIBs. Calculation results show that monolayer MnC processes good negative adsorption energies of - 2.83 eV for Na and - 2.16 eV for K. Moreover, MnC has comparable theoretical capacities for Na and K of 475 mAh/g and 253 mAh/g, respectively. Our calculation results manifest that the MnC can be a promising anode material for NIBs.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cell is a green and sustainable bio-electrochemical system that can harvest bioelectricity from organic matter conversion by bacteria in wastewater, but weak electrochemical activity and poor biocompatibility between electro-active bacteria and anode limit its scale-up application. In the present, the biomass carbon derived from mango wood was prepared via one-step carbonization method for anode materials in microbial fuel cell. A desirable anode C/1050 with large electrochemical active surface area (75.3 cm2), low electron transfer resistance (4.36 Ω), and benign biocompatibility were developed, achieving power density up to 589.8 mW·m-2. This study provides a low-cost and high-performance biomass carbon used as anode material in microbial fuel cell for practical application.

Abstract
To improve the performance of soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs), Fe3O4 and bentonite-Fe were selected as anode modifiers, and correspondingly, graphite felt (GF), GF + Fe3O4 (GFF), and GF + bentonite-Fe (GFB) anodes were created and applied to the SMFCs system. The stable voltages of SMFCs were 249 mV for GFF and 324 mV for GFB, thus representing an increase by 8.26% (GFF) and 40.87% (GFB) in comparison with those of GF. Moreover, the maximum power density in the modified treatment increased from 10.6 mW·m-2 to 18.28 mW·m-2 (GFF) and 29.98 mW·m-2 (GFB), and the internal resistance was reduced to 395 Ω for GFF and 219 Ω for GFB. The degradation efficiency clearly improved after being modified, especially by bentonite-Fe, and the removal ratios of the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), anthracene, phenanthrene and pyrene reached 31.42%, 36.62%, 32.48% and 26.24%, respectively, after the SMFCs had run for 45 days. Both modifications contributed to the enrichment of electricigens on the anodes; however, there was minimal difference between them, which resulted in a similar microbial community on the modified anodes. The results demonstrated that Fe3O4 and bentonite-Fe could enhance the potential of SMFCs in soil remediation, and bentonite-Fe outperformed Fe3O4.

Abstract
Silicon is regarded as the most promising electrode material to meet the high-capacity demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nevertheless, the large volume expansion during charging/discharging process restricts its practical application. In this report, a facile chemical dealloying method is conducted to prepare porous silicon materials from Al-Si alloys with different proportions at ambient temperature. The porosity of anode materials could buffer the huge volume change of Si anode and enhance the ion transport. Finally, the optimized Si20 sample delivers a capacity of 1662 mAh g-1 after 145 cycles at 500 mA g-1 and a high rate capability up to 908 mAh g-1 at 5000 mA g-1.

Abstract
Despite the significant progress in the fabrication of advanced electrode materials, complex control strategies and tedious processing are often involved for most targeted materials to tailor their compositions, morphologies, and chemistries. Inspired by the unique geometric structures of natural biomacromolecules together with their high affinities for metal species, we propose the use of skin collagen fibers for the template crafting of a novel multicore-shell Fe2N-carbon framework anode configuration, composed of hierarchical N-doped carbon nanofiber bundles firmly embedded with Fe2N nanoparticles (Fe2N@N-CFBs). In the resultant heterostructure, the Fe2N nanoparticles firmly confined inside the carbon shells are spatially isolated but electronically well connected by the long-range carbon nanofiber framework. This not only provides direct and continuous conductive pathways to facilitate electron/ion transport, but also helps cushion the volume expansion of the encapsulated Fe2N to preserve the electrode microstructure. Considering its unique structural characteristics, Fe2N@N-CFBs as an advanced anode material exhibits remarkable electrochemical performances for lithium- and potassium-ion batteries. Moreover, this bio-derived structural strategy can pave the way for novel low-cost and high-efficiency syntheses of metal-nitride/carbon nanofiber heterostructures for potential applications in energy-related fields and beyond.

Abstract
Self-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (DNTA) were prepared for the electrooxidation of resistant organics. The anatase TiO2 NTAs had an improved carrier density and conductivity from Ti3+ doping, and the oxygen-evolution potential remained at a high value of 2.48 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode, and thus, achieved a highly enhanced removal efficiency of phenol. The second anodization could stabilize Ti3+ and improve the performance by removing surface TiO2 particles. Improper preparation parameters (i.e., a short anodization time, a high calcination temperature and cathodization current density) harmed the electrooxidation activity. Although boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes performed best in removing phenol, DNTA exhibited a higher mineralization of phenol than Pt/Ti and BDD at 120 min because intermediates were oxidized once they are produced with DNTA. Mechanism investigations using reagents such as tert-butanol, oxalic acid, terephthalic acid, and coumarin showed that the DNTA mineralization resulted mainly from surface-bound OH, and the DNTA produced more than twice the amount of OH compared with BDD. The free OH on the BDD electrode was more conducive to initial substrate oxidation, whereas the adsorbed OH on the DNTA electrode mineralized the organics in situ. The preferential removal of p-substituted phenols on DNTA was attributed mainly to their electromigration and the aromatic intermediates that are hydrophobic were beneficial to mineralization.

Abstract
Silicon has great potential as an anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This work reports a facile, high-yield, and scalable approach to prepare nanoporous silicon, in which commercial magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) reacted with the acidic ionic liquid at 100 °C and ambient pressure. The obtained silicon consists of a crystalline, porous structure with a BET surface area of 450 m2/g and pore size of 1.27 nm. When coated with the nitrogen-doped carbon layer and applied as LIB anode, the obtained nanoporous silicon-carbon composites exhibit a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 72.9% and possess a specific capacity of 1000 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 100 cycles. This preparation method does not involve high temperature and pressure vessels and can be easily applied for mass production of nanoporous silicon materials for lithium-ion battery or for other applications.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel nanocomposite consisting of n-type Sn-doped hematite and p-type CaMn2O4 nanowire (CaMn2O4/α-Fe2O3). The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which showed that nanospindle-like Sn-doped hematite and CaMn2O4 nanowire contact intimately in the nanocomposite, resulting in efficient charge transfer and separation. Photoelectrochemical results reveal that the nanocomposite possesses higher donor density, enhanced conductivity and lower overpotential for dioxygen evolution. In addition, the nanocomposite demonstrates high photocatalytic activity for water oxidation to produce oxygen in a photoelectrochemical cell. The amount of O2 evolved from the optimized photoanode of the photoelectrochemical cell was 1.98 μmol in 2 h of simulated sunlight irradiation. This work demonstrates a facile synthesis of a novel nanocomposite as anode material for photocatalytic water oxidation to produce O2.

Abstract
Red phosphorus (RP) has attracted extensive attention as an anodic material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical specific capacity of 2596 mA h g- 1 and earth abundance. However, the facile and large-scale preparation of the red phosphorus nanomaterials via a solution synthesis remains a challenge. Herein, we develop a simple and facile solution method to prepare red phosphorus nanoparticles (RP NPs). PCl3 readily reacts with HSiCl3 in the presence of amines at room temperature to produce amorphous RP NPs with sizes about 100-200 nm in high yields. When used as an anode for rechargeable lithium ion battery, the RP NP electrode exhibits good electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 1380 mA h g- 1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g- 1, and Coulombic efficiencies reaching almost 100% for each cycle. The study shows that this solution synthesis is a facile and convenient approach for large-scale production of RP NP materials for use in high-performance Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Germanium is considered as a potential anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its fascinating theoretical specific capacity. However, its poor cyclability resulted from the sluggish kinetics and large volume change during repeated charge/discharge poses major threats for its further development. One solution is using its ternary compound as an alternative to improve the cycling stability. Here, high-purity CuGeO3 nanowires were prepared via a facile hydrothermal method, and their sodium storage performances were firstly explored. The as-obtained CuGeO3 delivered an initial charge capacity of 306.7 mAh g-1 along with favorable cycling performance, displaying great promise as a potential anode material for sodium ion batteries.

Abstract
Nanocrystalline Fe2O3 thin films are deposited directly on the conduct substrates by pulsed laser deposition as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. We demonstrate the well-designed Fe2O3 film electrodes are capable of excellent high-rate performance (510 mAh g- 1 at high current density of 15,000 mA g- 1) and superior cycling stability (905 mAh g- 1 at 100 mA g- 1 after 200 cycles), which are among the best reported state-of-the-art Fe2O3 anode materials. The outstanding lithium storage performances of the as-synthesized nanocrystalline Fe2O3 film are attributed to the advanced nanostructured architecture, which not only provides fast kinetics by the shortened lithium-ion diffusion lengths but also prolongs cycling life by preventing nanosized Fe2O3 particle agglomeration. The electrochemical performance results suggest that this novel Fe2O3 thin film is a promising anode material for all-solid-state thin film batteries.

Abstract
Hierarchical Sb2S3 hollow microspheres assembled by nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a simple and practical hydrothermal reaction. The possible formation process of this architecture was investigated by X-ray diffraction, focused-ion beam-scanning electron microscopy dual-beam system, and transmission electron microscopy. When used as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries, Sb2S3 hollow microspheres manifest excellent rate property and enhanced lithium-storage capability and can deliver a discharge capacity of 674 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. Even at a high current density of 5000 mA g-1, a discharge capacity of 541 mAh g-1 is achieved. Sb2S3 hollow microspheres also display a prominent sodium-storage capacity and maintain a reversible discharge capacity of 384 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 after 50 cycles. The remarkable lithium/sodium-storage property may be attributed to the synergetic effect of its nanometer size and three-dimensional hierarchical architecture, and the outstanding stability property is attributed to the sufficient interior void space, which can buffer the volume expansion.

Abstract
Iron disulfide is considered to be a potential anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity. However, its applications are seriously limited by the weak conductivity and large volume change, which results in low reversible capacity and poor cycling stability. Herein, reduced graphene oxide-wrapped FeS2 (FeS2/rGO) composite was fabricated to achieve excellent electrochemical performance via a facile two-step method. The introduction of rGO effectively improved the conductivity, BET surface area, and structural stability of the FeS2 active material, thus endowing it with high specific capacity, good rate capability, as well as excellent cycling stability. Electrochemical measurements show that the FeS2/rGO composite had a high initial discharge capacity of 1263.2 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and a high discharge capacity of 344 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1, demonstrating superior rate performance. After 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1, the discharge capacity remained at 609.5 mAh g-1, indicating the excellent cycling stability of the FeS2/rGO electrode.

Abstract
Embedded Si/graphene composite was fabricated by a novel method, which was in situ generated SiO2 particles on graphene sheets followed by magnesium-thermal reduction. The tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and flake graphite was used as original materials. On the one hand, the unique structure of as-obtained composite accommodated the large volume change to some extent. Simultaneously, it enhanced electronic conductivity during Li-ion insertion/extraction. The MR-Si/G composite is used as the anode material for lithium ion batteries, which shows high reversible capacity and ascendant cycling stability reach to 950 mAh·g-1 at a current density of 50 mA·g-1 after 60 cycles. These may be conducive to the further advancement of Si-based composite anode design.

Abstract
When testing the electrochemical performance of metal oxide anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), binder played important role on the electrochemical performance. Which binder was more suitable for preparing transition metal oxides anodes of LIBs has not been systematically researched. Herein, five different binders such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) HSV900, PVDF 301F, PVDF Solvay5130, the mixture of styrene butadiene rubber and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SBR+CMC), and polyacrylonitrile (LA133) were studied to make anode electrodes (compared to the full battery). The electrochemical tests show that using SBR+CMC and LA133 binder which use water as solution were significantly better than PVDF. The SBR+CMC binder remarkably improve the bonding capacity, cycle stability, and rate performance of battery anode, and the capacity retention was about 87% after 50th cycle relative to the second cycle. SBR+CMC binder was more suitable for making transition metal oxides anodes of LIBs.

Abstract
MnO2@PPy core-shell micromaterials are prepared by chemical polymerization of pyrrole on the MnO2 surface. The polypyrrole (PPy) is formed as a homogeneous organic shell on the MnO2 surface. The thickness of PPy shell can be adjusted by the usage of pyrrole. The analysis of SEM, FT-IR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and XRD are used to confirm the formation of PPy shell. Galvanostatic cell cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are used to evaluate the electrochemical performance as anode for lithium-ion batteries. The results show that after formation of MnO2@PPy core-shell micromaterials, the cyclic performance as anode for lithium-ion batteries is improved. Fifty microliters of PPy-coated caddice-clew-like MnO2 has the best cyclic performances as has 620 mAh g-1 discharge specific capacities after 300 cycles. As a comparison, the discharge specific capacity of bare MnO2 materials falls to below 200 mAh g-1 after 10 cycles. The improved lithium-storage cyclic stability of the MnO2@PPy samples attributes to the core-shell hybrid structure which can buffer the structural expansion and contraction of MnO2 caused by the repeated embedding and disengagement of Li ions and can prevent the pulverization of MnO2. This experiment provides an effective way to mitigate the problem of capacity fading of the transition metal oxide materials as anode materials for (lithium-ion batteries) LIBs.

Abstract
In this study, the impact of morphology of conductive agent and anode material (Fe3O4) on lithium storage properties was throughly investigated. Granular and belt-like Fe3O4 active materials were separately blended with two kinds of conductive agents (i.e., granular acetylene black and multi-walled carbon nanotube) as anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), respectively. It was found that the morphology of conductive agent is of utmost importance in determining LIBs storage properties. In contrast, not as the way we anticipated, the morphology of anode material merely plays a subordinate role in their electrochemical performances. Further, the morphology-matching principle of electrode materials was discussed so as to render their utilization more rational and effective in LIBs.
