Abstract
Nickel-based sulfides are considered promising materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) anodes due to their abundant resources and attractive theoretical capacity. However, their application is limited by slow diffusion kinetics and severe volume changes during cycling. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) wrapped Ni3S2 nanocrystals composites (Ni3S2-N-rGO-700 °C) through the cubic NiS2 precursor under high temperature (700 ℃). Benefitting from the variation in crystal phase structure and robust coupling effect between the Ni3S2 nanocrystals and N-rGO matrix, the Ni3S2-N-rGO-700 °C exhibits enhanced conductivity, fast ion diffusion kinetics and outstanding structural stability. As a result, the Ni3S2-N-rGO-700 °C delivers excellent rate capability (345.17 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 5 A g-1) and long-term cyclic stability over 400 cycles at 2 A g-1 with a high reversible capacity of 377 mAh g-1 when evaluated as anodes for SIBs. This study open a promising avenue to realize advanced metal sulfide materials with desirable electrochemical activity and stability for energy storage applications.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2207283.

Abstract
Polyanion-type phosphate materials, such as M3 V2 (PO4 )3 (M = Li/Na/K), are promising as insertion-type negative electrodes for monovalent-ion batteries including Li/Na/K-ion batteries (lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs)) with fast charging/discharging and distinct redox peaks. However, it remains a great challenge to understand the reaction mechanism of materials upon monovalent-ion insertion. Here, triclinic Mg3 V4 (PO4 )6 /carbon composite (MgVP/C) with high thermal stability is synthesized via ball-milling and carbon-thermal reduction method and applied as a pseudocapacitive negative electrode in LIBs, SIBs, and PIBs. In operando and ex situ studies demonstrate the guest ion-dependent reaction mechanisms of MgVP/C upon monovalent-ion storage due to different sizes. MgVP/C undergoes an indirect conversion reaction to form Mg0 , V0 , and Li3 PO4 in LIBs, while in SIBs/PIBs the material only experiences a solid solution with the reduction of V3+ to V2+ . Moreover, in LIBs, MgVP/C delivers initial lithiation/delithiation capacities of 961/607 mAh g-1 (30/19 Li+ ions) for the first cycle, despite its low initial Coulombic efficiency, fast capacity decay for the first 200 cycles, and limited reversible insertion/deinsertion of 2 Na+ /K+ ions in SIBs/PIBs. This work reveals a new pseudocapacitive material and provides an advanced understanding of polyanion phosphate negative material for monovalent-ion batteries with guest ion-dependent energy storage mechanisms.

Abstract
Although studies of transition metal sulfides (TMS) as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries are extensively reported, the short cycle life is still a thorny problem that impedes their practical application. In this work, a new capacity fading mechanism of the TMS electrodes is demonstrated; that is, the parasitic reaction between electrolyte anions (i.e., ClO4 - ) and metal sulfides yields non-conductive and unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and meanwhile, corrosively turns metal sulfides into less-active oxides. This knowledge guides the development of an electrochemical strategy to manipulate the anion decomposition and construct a stable interface that prevents extensive parasitic reactions. It is shown that introducing sodium nitrate to the electrolyte radically changes the Na+ solvation structure by populating nitrate ions in the first solvation sheath, generating a stable and conductive SEI layer containing both Na3 N and NaF. The optimized interface enables an iron sulfide anode to stably cycle for over 2000 cycles with negligible capacity loss, and a similar enhancement in cycle performance is demonstrated on a number of other metal sulfides. This work discloses metal sulfides' cycling failure mechanism from a unique perspective and highlights the critical importance of manipulating the interface chemistry in sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries (RT-Na/S batteries) with high reversible capacity (1675 mA h g-1) and excellent energy density (1274 W h kg-1) based on abundant resources of the metal Na have become a research hotspot recently. However, the intermediate product sodium polysulfides (NaPSs) generated during the charge-discharge process are easily dissolved in the ether electrolyte and transferred from the sulfur cathode to the metallic sodium surface, resulting in rapid capacity decay (shuttle effect), which seriously affects the practical application of RT-Na/S batteries. Herein, the mechanism and recent research progress in suppressing the shuttle effect of the sulfur cathode in RT-Na/S batteries are summarized. Strategies such as carbon-based materials physically fixing NaPSs, polar materials absorbing NaPSs to reduce their dissolution, and catalytic materials accelerating the transformation of NaPSs into final products are provided. Challenges and insights into high-performance sulfur electrodes for optimizing RT-Na/S batteries are discussed.

Strain-regulated Gibbs free energy enables reversible redox chemistry of chalcogenides for sodium ion batteries. Nat Commun 2022; 13:5588.

Abstract
Manipulating the reversible redox chemistry of transition metal dichalcogenides for energy storage often faces great challenges as it is difficult to regulate the discharged products directly. Herein we report that tensile-strained MoSe2 (TS-MoSe2) can act as a host to transfer its strain to corresponding discharged product Mo, thus contributing to the regulation of Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) and enabling a reversible sodium storage mechanism. The inherited strain results in lattice distortion of Mo, which adjusts the d-band center upshifted closer to the Fermi level to enhance the adsorbability of Na2Se, thereby leading to a decreased ΔG of the redox chemistry between Mo/Na2Se and MoSe2. Ex situ and in situ experiments revealed that, unlike the unstrained MoSe2, TS-MoSe2 shows a highly reversible sodium storage, along with an evidently improved reaction kinetics. This work sheds light on the study on electrochemical energy storage mechanism of other electrode materials. Manipulating the redox chemistry of transition metal dichalcogenides still faces challenges. Here the authors report that tensile-strained MoSe2 can pass on the strain to its sodiated product Mo, and thus regulate the Gibbs free energy in the charging process to enable the reversible sodium storage.

Abstract
Intricate hollow carbon structures possess vital function for anchoring polysulfides and enhancing the utilization of sulfur in room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries. However, their synthesis is extremely challenging due to the complex structure. Here, a facile and efficient strategy is developed for the controllable synthesis of N/O-doped multichambered carbon nanoboxes (MCCBs) by selective etching and stepwise carbonization of ZIF-8 nanocubes. The MCCBs consist of porous carbon shells on the outside and connected carbon grids with a hollow structure on the inside, bringing about a MCCBs structure. As a sulfur host, the multichambered structure has better spatial encapsulation and integrated conductivity via the inner interconnected carbon grids, which combines the characteristics of short charge transfer path and superb physicochemical adsorption along with mechanical strength. As expected, the S@MCCBs cathode realizes decent cycle stability (0.045% capacity decay per cycle over 800 cycles at 5 A g-1) and enhanced rate performance (328 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1). Furthermore, in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation confirms the good structural stability of the S@MCCBs during the (de)sodiation process. Our work demonstrates an effective strategy for the rational design and accurate construction of intricate hollow materials for high-performance energy storage systems.

Abstract
Research focusing on the interplay between structural features and transport properties in inorganic materials is of paramount importance for the identification, comprehension and optimisation of functional materials. In this respect, Earth-abundant copper sulphides have been receiving considerable attention from scientists as the urgency remains to discover and improve the efficiency of sustainable materials for energy applications. This proposed classification of copper sulphides, associated with block p and/or d elements, is based on their crystallographic features and the analysis of their transport properties. It provides guidelines to help estimating some properties of new materials (type of main charge carriers, thermal conductivity, transport mechanisms, etc.) by considering only their chemical composition and crystal structure. The classification relies essentially on recent work in the fields of thermoelectricity and photovoltaics and thorough crystal structure investigations.

Abstract
Room temperature sodium-sulfur battery has high theoretical specific energy and low cost, so it has good application prospect. However, due to the disadvantageous reaction between soluble intermediate polysulfides and sodium anode, the capacity drops sharply, which greatly limits its practical application. In recent years, various strategies have been formulated to address the problem of polysulfides dissolution. This perspective article provides an overview of the research progress on research progress of novel cathode materials, multifunctional host, new electrolyte systems and modified separator/interlayer/anode. The challenge and prospect of the advanced strategies to suppress the polysulfides shuttle for long-life and high-efficiency room temperature sodium-sulfur batteries are proposed.

Abstract
Understanding polysulfide electrochemistry in high temperature sodium-sulfur (HT-Na-S) batteries is crucial for their practical applications. Currently the discharge capacity of commercial HT-Na-S battery achieves only one third of its theoretical capacity due to polysulfides formation, understanding of which is limited due to technical difficulty in direct imaging polysulfides. Herein, in situ transmission electron microscopy implemented with a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) heating device is used to investigate the electrochemical reactions of HT-Na-S batteries. The formation and evolution of transient polysulfides during cycling are revealed in real-time. Upon discharge, sulfur transforms to long-chain polysulfides, short-chain polysulfides, and finally Na2 S or its mixture with polysulfides, and the process is reversible during charge at high temperatures. Surprisingly, by introducing nanovoids into the sulfur cathode to buffer the large volume change thus preserving the integrity of the electronic/ionic pathways and reducing the diffusion distance of Na+ ions, the sulfur cathode is fully discharged to Na2 S rather than the conventionally observed Na2 S2 at 300 °C. Moreover, the electrochemical reaction is swift and highly reversible. The in situ studies provide not only new understanding to the polysulfide electrochemistry, but also critical strategies to boost the capacity and cyclability of HT-Na-S batteries for large-scale energy storage applications.

Abstract
This work reports influence of two different electrolytes, carbonate ester and ether electrolytes, on the sulfur redox reactions in room-temperature Na-S batteries. Two sulfur cathodes with different S loading ratio and status are investigated. A sulfur-rich composite with most sulfur dispersed on the surface of a carbon host can realize a high loading ratio (72% S). In contrast, a confined sulfur sample can encapsulate S into the pores of the carbon host with a low loading ratio (44% S). In carbonate ester electrolyte, only the sulfur trapped in porous structures is active via 'solid-solid' behavior during cycling. The S cathode with high surface sulfur shows poor reversible capacity because of the severe side reactions between the surface polysulfides and the carbonate ester solvents. To improve the capacity of the sulfur-rich cathode, ether electrolyte with NaNO3 additive is explored to realize a 'solid-liquid' sulfur redox process and confine the shuttle effect of the dissolved polysulfides. As a result, the sulfur-rich cathode achieved high reversible capacity (483 mAh g-1), corresponding to a specific energy of 362 Wh kg-1 after 200 cycles, shedding light on the use of ether electrolyte for high-loading sulfur cathode.

Abstract
Room-temperature (RT) sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries hold great promise for large-scale energy storage due to the advantages of high energy density, low cost, and resource abundance. The research progress on RT Na-S batteries, however, has been greatly hindered by the sluggish kinetics of the sulfur redox reactions. Herein, an elaborate multifunctional architecture, consisting of N-doped carbon skeletons and tunable MoS2 sulfiphilic sites, is fabricated via a simple one-pot reaction followed by in situ sulfurization. Beyond the physical confinement and chemical binding of polarized N-doped carbonaceous microflowers, the MoS2 active sites play a key role in catalyzing polysulfide redox reactions, especially the conversion from long-chain Na2 Sn (4 ≤ n ≤ 8) to short-chain Na2 S2 and Na2 S. Significantly, the electrocatalytic activity of MoS2 can be tunable via adjusting the discharge depth. It is remarkable that the sodiated MoS2 exhibits much stronger binding energy and electrocatalytic behavior compared to MoS2 sites, effectively enhancing the formation of the final Na2 S product. Consequently, the S cathode achieves superior electrochemical performance in RT Na-S batteries, delivering a high capacity of 774.2 mAh g-1 after 800 cycles at 0.2 A g-1 , and an ultrahigh capacity retention with a capacity decay rate of only 0.0055% per cycle over 2800 cycles.

Abstract
Herein, we report a comprehensive strategy to synthesize a full range of single-atom metals on carbon matrix, including V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ge, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, In, Sn, W, Ir, Pt, Pb, and Bi. The extensive applications of various SACs are manifested via their ability to electro-catalyze typical hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) and conversion reactions in novel room-temperature sodium sulfur batteries (RT-Na-S). The enhanced performances for these electrochemical reactions arisen from the ability of different single active atoms on local structures to tune their electronic configuration. Significantly, the electrocatalytic behaviors of diverse SACs, assisted by density functional theory calculations, are systematically revealed by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and in situ transmission electronic microscopy, providing a strategic library for the general synthesis and extensive applications of SACs in energy conversion and storage.

Abstract
Mixed transition metal sulfides (MTMSs) have been regarded as a potential anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high reversible specific capacity. Herein, nanoflower-like few-layered cobalt-tin-based sulfide (F-CoSnS) with a large interlayer spacing is synthesized via a facile route for superior sodium storage. The growth mechanism of this unique F-CoSnS is systematically studied. Such distinctive nanostructured engineering synergistically combines a broad interlayer spacing (∼ 0.85 nm), the functionalities of few (2-3) layers, and the introduction of heterogeneous metal atoms, reducing the ion diffusion energy barrier for high-efficiency intercalation/deintercalation of Na+ ions, as revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. With further incorporation of a three-dimensional (3D) conductive network, the F-CoSnS@C electrode shows a large sodium storage capacity (493.4 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1), remarkable rate capability (316.1 mAh g-1 at 1600 mA g-1), and superior cycling stability (450 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 with 91.2% capacity retention, 0.044% fading rate per cycle, and approximately 100% Coulombic efficiency after 200 cycles). This work demonstrates that the few-layered ternary MTMSs are highly applicable for the development of advanced SIB anode materials with high performance.

Abstract
Room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT-Na/S) batteries hold great promise for sustainable and cost-effective applications. Nevertheless, it remains a great challenge to achieve high capacity and cycling stability due to the low activity of sulfur and the sluggish conversion kinetics between polysulfide intermediates and sodium sulfide. Herein, an electrocatalyzing S cathode is fabricated, which consists of porous core-shell structure and multisulfiphilic sites. The flexible carbon structure effectively buffers volume changes during cycling and provides enclosed spaces to store S8 with exceptional conductivity. Significantly, the multisulfiphilic sites (ZnS and CoS2) enhance catalysis toward multistep S conversion, which effectively suppresses long-chain polysulfides dissolution and improves the kinetics of short-chain polysulfides. Thus, the obtained S cathodes achieve an enhanced cycling performance (570 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 over 1000 cycles), decent rate capability (250 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 over 2000 cycles), and high energy density of 384 Wh kg-1 toward practical applications.

Abstract
With advantages of high theoretical capacity and low cost, manganese sulfide (MnS) has become a potential electrode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, complicated preparations and limited cycle life still hinder its application. Inspired by cream rolls in our daily life, a MnS/N,S-co-doped carbon tube (MnS/NSCT) composite with a 3D cross-linked tubular structure is prepared via an ultra-simple and low-cost method in this work. As the anode for SIBs, the cream roll-like MnS/NSCT composite has delivered the best electrochemical performance to date (the highest capacity of 550.6 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1, the highest capacity of 447.0 mA h g-1 after 1400 cycles at 1000 mA g-1, and the best rate performance of 319.8 mA h g-1 at 10 000 mA g-1). Besides, according to several in situ and ex situ techniques, the sodium storage mechanism of MnS/NSCTs is mainly from a conversion reaction, and the superior electrochemical performance of MnS/NSCTs is mainly attributed to the unique cream roll-like structure. More importantly, this simple method may be feasible for other anode materials, which will greatly promote the development of SIBs.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) and its analogues are recognized as promising cathodes for rechargeable batteries intended for application in low-cost and large-scale electric energy storage. With respect to PB cathodes, however, their intrinsic crystal regularity, vacancies, and coordinated water will lead to low specific capacity and poor rate performance, impeding their application. Herein, nanocubic porous Nax FeFe(CN)6 coated with polydopamine (PDA) as a coupling layer to improve its electrochemical performance is reported, inspired by the excellent adhesive property of PDA. As a cathode for sodium-ion batteries, the Nax FeFe(CN)6 electrode coupled with PDA delivers a reversible capacity of 93.8 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.2 A g-1 , and a discharge capacity of 72.6 mA h g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 . The sodium storage mechanism of this Nax FeFe(CN)6 coupled with PDA is revealed via in situ Raman spectroscopy. The first-principles computational results indicate that FeII sites in PB prefer to couple with the robust PDA layer to stabilize the PB structure. Moreover, the sodium-ion migration in the PB structure is enhanced after coating with PDA, thus improving the sodium storage properties. Both experiments and computational simulations present guidelines for the rational design of nanomaterials as electrodes for energy storage devices.
