Nitrogen Doped/Carbon Tuning Yolk‐Like TiO2 and Its Remarkable Impact on Sodium Storage Performances

Yolk‐like TiO₂ are prepared through an asymmetric Ostwald ripening, which is simultaneously doped by nitrogen and wrapped by carbon from core to shell. It presents a high specific surface area (144.9 m² g^?1), well‐defined yolk‐like structure (600–700 nm), covered with interweaved nanosheets (3–5 nm) and tailored porosity (5–10 nm) configuration. When first utilized as anode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), it delivers a high reversible specific capacity of 242.7 mA h g^?1 at 0.5 C and maintains a considerable capacity of 115.9 mA h g^?1 especially at rate 20 C. Moreover, the reversible capacity can still reach 200.7 mA h g^?1 after 550 cycles with full capacity retention at 1 C. Even cycled at extremely high rate 25 C, the capacity retention of 95.5% after 3000 cycles is acquired. Notably, an ultrahigh initial coulombic efficiency of 59.1% is achieved. The incorporation of nitrogen with narrowing the band gap accompanied with carbon uniformly coating from core to shell make the NC TiO₂‐Y favor a bulk type conductor, resulting in fast electron transfer, which is beneficial to long‐term cycling stability and remarkable rate capability. It is of great significance to improve the energy‐storage properties through development of the bulk type conductor as anode materials in SIBs.     

Nature of FeSe2/N‐C Anode for High Performance Potassium Ion Hybrid Capacitor

Potassium ion hybrid capacitors have great potential for large‐scale energy devices, because of the high power density and low cost. However, their practical applications are hindered by their low energy density, as well as electrolyte decomposition and collector corrosion at high potential in potassium bis(fluoro‐sulfonyl)imide‐based electrolyte. Therefore, anode materials with high capacity, a suitable voltage platform, and stability become a key factor. Here, N‐doping carbon‐coated FeSe₂ clusters are demonstrated as the anode material for a hybrid capacitor, delivering a reversible capacity of 295 mAh g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1 over 100 cycles and a high rate capability of 158 mAh g^?1 at 2000 mA g^?1 over 2000 cycles. Meanwhile, through density functional theory calculations, in situ X‐ray diffraction, and ex situ transmission electron microscopy, the evolution of FeSe₂ to Fe₃Se₄ for the electrochemical reaction mechanism is successfully revealed. The battery‐supercapacitor hybrid using commercial activated carbon as the cathode and FeSe₂/N‐C as the anode is obtained. It delivers a high energy density of 230 Wh kg^?1 and a power density of 920 W kg^?1 (the energy density and power density are calculated based on the total mass of active materials in the anode and cathode).

Fiber‐shaped rechargeable batteries hold promise as the next‐generation energy storage devices for wearable electronics. However, their application is severely hindered by the difficulty in fabrication of robust fiber‐like electrodes with promising electrochemical performance. Herein, yolk–shell NiS₂ nanoparticles embedded in porous carbon fibers (NiS₂?PCF) are successfully fabricated and developed as high‐performance fiber electrodes for sodium storage. Benefiting from the robust embedded structure, 3D porous and conductive carbon network, and yolk–shell NiS₂ nanoparticles, the as‐prepared NiS₂?PCF fiber electrode achieves a high reversible capacity of about 679 mA h g^?1 at 0.1 C, outstanding rate capability (245 mA h g^?1 at 10 C), and ultrastable cycle performance with 76% capacity retention over 5000 cycles at 5 C. Notably, a flexible fiber‐shaped sodium battery is assembled, and high reversible capacity is kept at different bending states. This work offers a new electrode‐design paradigm toward novel carbon fiber electrodes embedded with transition metal oxides/sulfides/phosphides for application in flexible energy storage devices.     

Revealing Pseudocapacitive Mechanisms of Metal Dichalcogenide SnS2/Graphene‐CNT Aerogels for High‐Energy Na Hybrid Capacitors

SnS₂ nanoplatelet electrodes can offer an exceptionally high pseudocapacitance in an organic Na⁺ ion electrolyte system, but their underlying mechanisms are still largely unexplored, hindering the practical applications of pseudocapacitive SnS₂ anodes in Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) and Na hybrid capacitors (SHCs). Herein, SnS₂ nanoplatelets are grown directly on SnO₂/C composites to synthesize SnS₂/graphene‐carbon nanotube aerogel (SnS₂/GCA) by pressurized sulfidation where the original morphology of carbon framework is preserved. The composite electrode possessing a large surface area delivers a remarkable specific capacity of 600.3 mA h g^?1 at 0.2 A g^?1 and 304.8 mA h g^?1 at an ultrahigh current density of 10 A g^?1 in SIBs. SHCs comprising a SnS₂/GCA composite anode and an activated carbon cathode present exceptional energy densities of 108.3 and 26.9 W h kg^?1 at power densities of 130 and 6053 W kg^?1, respectively. The in situ transmission electron microscopy and the density functional theory calculations reveal that the excellent pseudocapacitance originates from the combination of Na adsorption on the surface/Sn edge of SnS₂ nanoplatelets and ultrafast Na⁺ ion intercalation into the SnS₂ layers.

Nickel sulfides are regarded as promising anode materials for advanced rechargeable lithium‐ion batteries due to their high theoretical capacity. However, capacity fade arising from significant volume changes during operation greatly limits their practical applications. Herein, confined NiS_x@C yolk–shell microboxes are constructed to address volume changes and confine the active material in the internal void space. Having benefited from the yolk–shell structure design, the prepared NiS_x@C yolk–shell microboxes display excellent electrochemical performance in lithium‐ion batteries. Particularly, it delivers impressive cycle stability (460 mAh g^?1 after 2000 cycles at 1 A g^?1) and superior rate performance (225 mAh g^?1 at 20 A g^?1). Furthermore, the lithium storage mechanism is ascertained with in situ synchrotron high‐energy X‐ray diffractions and in situ electrochemical impedance spectra. This unique confined yolk–shell structure may open up new strategies to create other advanced electrode materials for high performance electrochemical storage systems.

Energy‐storage technology is moving beyond lithium batteries to sodium as a result of its high abundance and low cost. However, this sensible transition requires the discovery of high‐rate and long‐lifespan anode materials, which remains a significant challenge. Here, the facile synthesis of an amorphous Sn₂P₂O₇/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite and its sodium storage performance between 0.01 and 3.0 V are reported for the first time. This hybrid electrode delivers a high specific capacity of 480 mA h g^?1 at a current density of 50 mA g^?1 and superior rate performance of 250 and 165 mA h g^?1 at 2 and 10 A g^?1, respectively. Strikingly, this anode can sustain 15 000 cycles while retaining over 70% of the initial capacity. Quantitative kinetic analysis reveals that the sodium storage is governed by pseudocapacitance, particularly at high current rates. A full cell with sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON)‐structured Na₃V₂(PO₄)₂F₃ and Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ as cathodes exhibits a high energy density of over 140 W h kg^?1 and a power density of nearly 9000 W kg^?1 as well as stability over 1000 cycles. This exceptional performance suggests that the present system is a promising power source for promoting the substantial use of low‐cost energy storage systems.     

Metal–Organic Frameworks‐Derived Tunnel Structured Co3(PO4)2@C as Cathode for New Generation High‐Performance Al‐Ion Batteries

Despite great progress in aluminum ion batteries (AIBs), the commercialization and performance improvement of AIBs‐based carbon cathodes is greatly impeded by sluggish intercalation/extraction and redox kinetics due to large‐sized AlCl₄^? anions. Phosphates with tunnel channels and much larger d‐spacing than the radius of Al³⁺ could be an alternative candidate as a cathode for potential high‐performance AIBs. Herein, elaborately designed porous tunnel structured Co₃(PO₄)₂@C composites derived from ZIF‐67 as AIBs cathodes are demonstrated, showing increased active sites, high ionic mobility, and high Al³⁺ ion diffusion coefficient, leading to remarkably enhanced discharge–charge redox reaction kinetics. Furthermore, the carbon shell and porous structure performs as armor to alleviate volume change and maintain the structure integrity of the cathodes. As expected, the rationally constructed Co₃(PO₄)₂@C composite exhibits a superior capacity of 111 mA h g^?1 at a high current density of 6 A g^?1 and 151 mA h g^?1 at 2 A g^?1 after 500 cycles with capacity decay of 0.02% per cycle. This innovative strategy could be a big step forward for long‐term cycle stable AIBs and reveals significant insights into the redox reaction mechanism for high‐performance AIBs based on Al³⁺ rather than large‐sized AlCl₄^?.     

Fabrication of Hierarchical Potassium Titanium Phosphate Spheroids: A Host Material for Sodium‐Ion and Potassium‐Ion Storage

Identifying suitable electrode materials for sodium‐ion and potassium‐ion storage holds the key to the development of earth‐abundant energy‐storage technologies. This study reports an anode material based on self‐assembled hierarchical spheroid‐like KTi₂(PO₄)₃@C nanocomposites synthesized via an electrospray method. Such an architecture synergistically combines the advantages of the conductive carbon network and allows sufficient space for the infiltration of the electrolyte from the porous structure, leading to an impressive electrochemical performance, as reflected by the high reversible capacity (283.7 mA h g^?1 for Na‐ion batteries; 292.7 mA h g^?1 for K‐ion batteries) and superior rate capability (136.1 mA h g^?1 at 10 A g^?1 for Na‐ion batteries; 133.1 mA h g^?1 at 1 A g^?1 for K‐ion batteries) of the resulting material. Moreover, the different ion diffusion behaviors in the two systems are revealed to account for the difference in rate performance. These findings suggest that KTi₂(PO₄)₃@C is a promising candidate as an anode material for sodium‐ion and potassium‐ion batteries. In particular, the present synthetic approach could be extended to other functional electrode materials for energy‐storage materials.     

In Situ Generation of Few‐Layer Graphene Coatings on SnO2‐SiC Core‐Shell Nanoparticles for High‐Performance Lithium‐Ion Storage

A simple ball‐milling method is used to synthesize a tin oxide‐silicon carbide/few‐layer graphene core‐shell structure in which nanometer‐sized SnO₂ particles are uniformly dispersed on a supporting SiC core and encapsulated with few‐layer graphene coatings by in situ mechanical peeling. The SnO₂‐SiC/G nanocomposite material delivers a high reversible capacity of 810 mA h g^?1 and 83% capacity retention over 150 charge/discharge cycles between 1.5 and 0.01 V at a rate of 0.1 A g^?1. A high reversible capacity of 425 mA h g^?1 also can be obtained at a rate of 2 A g^?1. When discharged (Li extraction) to a higher potential at 3.0 V (vs. Li/Li⁺), the SnO₂‐SiC/G nanocomposite material delivers a reversible capacity of 1451 mA h g^?1 (based on the SnO₂ mass), which corresponds to 97% of the expected theoretical capacity (1494 mA h g^?1, 8.4 equivalent of lithium per SnO₂), and exhibits good cyclability. This result suggests that the core‐shell nanostructure can achieve a completely reversible transformation from Li_4.4Sn to SnO₂ during discharging (i.e., Li extraction by dealloying and a reversible conversion reaction, generating 8.4 electrons). This suggests that simple mechanical milling can be a powerful approach to improve the stability of high‐performance electrode materials involving structural conversion and transformation.

A hybrid nanoarchitecture aerogel composed of WS₂ nanosheets and carbon nanotube‐reduced graphene oxide (CNT‐rGO) with ordered microchannel three‐dimensional (3D) scaffold structure was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method followed by freeze‐drying and post annealing process. The 3D ordered microchannel structures not only provide good electronic transportation routes, but also provide excellent ionic conductive channels, leading to an enhanced electrochemical performance as anode materials both for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). Significantly, WS₂/CNT‐rGO aerogel nanostructure can deliver a specific capacity of 749 mA h g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1 and a high first‐cycle coulombic efficiency of 53.4% as the anode material of LIBs. In addition, it also can deliver a capacity of 311.4 mA h g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1, and retain a capacity of 252.9 mA h g^?1 at 200 mA g^?1 after 100 cycles as the anode electrode of SIBs. The excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the synergistic effect between the WS₂ nanosheets and CNT‐rGO scaffold network and rational design of 3D ordered structure. These results demonstrate the potential applications of ordered CNT‐rGO aerogel platform to support transition‐metal‐dichalcogenides (i.e., WS₂) for energy storage devices and open up a route for material design for future generation energy storage devices.

In this work, a novel peapod‐like N‐doped carbon hollow nanotube encapsulated Sb nanorod composite, the so‐called nanorod‐in‐nanotube structured Sb@N‐C, via a bottom‐up confinement approach is designed and fabricated. The N‐doped‐carbon coating and thermal‐reduction process is monitored by in situ high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction characterization. Due to its advanced structural merits, such as sufficient N‐doping, 1D conductive carbon coating, and substantial inner void space, the Sb@N‐C demonstrates superior lithium/sodium storage performance. For lithium storage, the Sb@N‐C exhibits a high reversible capacity (650.8 mA h g^?1 at 0.2 A g^?1), excellent long‐term cycling stability (a capacity decay of only 0.022% per cycle for 3000 cycles at 2 A g^?1), and ultrahigh rate capability (343.3 mA h g^?1 at 20 A g^?1). For sodium storage, the Sb@N‐C nanocomposite displays the best long‐term cycle performance among the reported Sb‐based anode materials (a capacity of 345.6 mA h g^?1 after 3000 cycles at 2 A g^?1) and an impressive rate capability of up to 10 A g^?1. The results demonstrate that the Sb@N‐C nanocomposite is a promising anode material for high‐performance lithium/sodium storage.

The Sn₄P₃/RGO hybrid architecture materials exhibit significantly improved electrochemical performance of high reversible capacity, high‐rate capability, and excellent cycling performance as sodium ion batteries (SIBs) anode materials, showing an excellent reversible capacity of 656 mA h g^?1 at a current density of 100 mA g^?1 over 100 cycles, demonstrating a greatly enhanced rate capability of a reversible capacity of 391 mA h g^?1 even at a high current density of 2.0 A g^?1. Moreover, Sn₄P₃/RGO SIBs anodes exhibit a superior long cycling life, delivering a high capacity of 362 mA h g^?1 after 1500 cycles at a high current density of 1.0 A g^?1. The outstanding cycling performance and rate capability of these porous hierarchical Sn₄P₃/RGO hybrid anodes can be attributed to the advantage of porous structure, and the synergistic effect between Sn₄P₃ nanoparticles and RGO nanosheets.     

Lithium‐Pretreated Hard Carbon as High‐Performance Sodium‐Ion Battery Anodes

Hard carbon (HC) is the state‐of‐the‐art anode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). However, its performance has been plagued by the limited initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and mediocre rate performance. Here, experimental and theoretical studies are combined to demonstrate the application of lithium‐pretreated HC (LPHC) as high‐performance anode materials for SIBs by manipulating the solid electrolyte interphase in tetraglyme (TEGDME)‐based electrolyte. The LPHC in TEGDME can 1) deliver > 92% ICE and ≈220 mAh g^?1 specific capacity, twice of the capacity (≈100 mAh g^?1) in carbonate electrolyte; 2) achieve > 85% capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 1000 mA g^?1 current density (4 C rate, 1 C = 250 mA g^?1) with a specific capacity of ≈150 mAh g^?1, ≈15 times of the capacity (10 mAh g^?1) in carbonate. The full cell of Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃‐LPHC in TEGDME demonstrated close to theoretical specific capacity of ≈98 mAh g^?1 based on Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ cathode, ≈2.5 times of the value (≈40 mAh g^?1) with nontreated HC. This work provides new perception on the anode development for SIBs.     

Confined Fe2VO4⊂Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Nanowires with Internal Void Space for High‐Rate and Ultrastable Potassium‐Ion Storage

Developing low‐cost, high‐capacity, high‐rate, and robust earth‐abundant electrode materials for energy storage is critical for the practical and scalable application of advanced battery technologies. Herein, the first example of synthesizing 1D peapod‐like bimetallic Fe₂VO₄ nanorods confined in N‐doped carbon porous nanowires with internal void space (Fe₂VO₄?NC nanopeapods) as a high‐capacity and stable anode material for potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs) is reported. The peapod‐like Fe₂VO₄?NC nanopeapod heterostructures with interior void space and external carbon shell efficiently prevent the aggregation of the active materials, facilitate fast transportation of electrons and ions, and accommodate volume variation during the cycling process, which substantially boosts the rate and cycling performance of Fe₂VO₄. The Fe₂VO₄?NC electrode exhibits high reversible specific depotassiation capacity of 380 mAh g^?1 at 100 mA g^?1 after 60 cycles and remarkable rate capability as well as long cycling stability with a high capacity of 196 mAh g^?1 at 4 A g^?1 after 2300 cycles. The first‐principles calculations reveal that Fe₂VO₄?NC nanopeapods have high ionic/electronic conductivity characteristics and low diffusion barriers for K⁺‐intercalation. This study opens up new way for investigating high‐capacity metal oxide as high‐rate and robust electrode materials for KIBs.     

Densification by Compaction as an Effective Low‐Cost Method to Attain a High Areal Lithium Storage Capacity in a CNT@Co3O4 Sponge

Achieving a high areal capacity is essential for the transfer of outstanding laboratory electrode results to commercial applications and also to ensure there exists a capacity matched cathode and anode for a properly tuned battery. Despite intensive efforts, most electrode materials exhibit areal capacities lower than that of the graphite anodes (4 mA h cm^?2). An effective and low‐cost approach is reported to attain a high areal capacity via an intense densification by compacting a porous carbon nanotube sponge grafted with Co₃O₄ nanoparticles. The hybrid sponge can be compacted to a large degree (up to a tenfold densification) while still keeping its structural integrity and the 3D porous network. This method allows achieving a mass loading of up ?to 14.3 mg cm^?2 and an areal capacity of 12 mA h cm^?2 (at a current density of 200 mA g^?1) together with a gravimetric capacity of >800 mA h g^?1. This densification by compaction approach offers an effective and low‐cost strategy to develop high mass loading and areal capacity electrodes for practical energy storage systems.     

Na‐Mn‐O Nanocrystals as a High Capacity and Long Life Anode Material for Li‐Ion Batteries

Searching for a new material to build the next‐generation rechargeable lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) with high electrochemical performance is urgently required. Owing to the low‐cost, non‐toxicity, and high‐safety, the family of manganese oxide including the Na‐Mn‐O system is regarded as one of the most promising electrode materials for LIBs. Herein, a new strategy is carried out to prepare a highly porous and electrochemically active Na_0.55Mn₂O₄·1.5H₂O (SMOH) compound. As an anode material, the Na‐Mn‐O nanocrystal material dispersed within a carbon matrix manifests a high reversible capacity of 1015.5 mA h g^?1 at a current density of 0.1 A g^?1. Remarkably, a considerable capability of 546.8 mA h g^?1 remains even after 2000 discharge/charge cycles at the higher current density of 4 A g^?1, indicating a splendid cyclability. The exceptional electrochemical properties allow SMOH to be a promising anode material toward LIBs.

The symmetric batteries with an electrode material possessing dual cathodic and anodic properties are regarded as an ideal battery configuration because of their distinctive advantages over the asymmetric batteries in terms of fabrication process, cost, and safety concerns. However, the development of high‐performance symmetric batteries is highly challenging due to the limited availability of suitable symmetric electrode materials with such properties of highly reversible capacity. Herein, a triple‐hollow‐shell structured V₂O₅ (THS‐V₂O₅) symmetric electrode material with a reversible capacity of >400 mAh g^?1 between 1.5 and 4.0 V and >600 mAh g^?1 between 0.1 and 3.0 V, respectively, when used as the cathode and anode, is reported. The THS‐V₂O₅ electrodes assembled symmetric full lithium‐ion battery (LIB) exhibits a reversible capacity of ≈290 mAh g^?1 between 2 and 4.0 V, the best performed symmetric energy storage systems reported to date. The unique triple‐shell structured electrode makes the symmetric LIB possessing very high initial coulombic efficiency (94.2%), outstanding cycling stability (with 94% capacity retained after 1000 cycles), and excellent rate performance (over 140 mAh g^?1 at 1000 mA g^?1). The demonstrated approach in this work leaps forward the symmetric LIB performance and paves a way to develop high‐performance symmetric battery electrode materials.
