Abstract
Hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) bridge the unique advantages of batteries and capacitors and are considered promising energy storage devices for hybrid vehicles and other electronic gadgets. Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) have attained particular interest due to their higher energy and power density than traditional supercapacitor devices. The limited voltage window and the deterioration of anode materials upsurged the demand for efficient and stable electrode materials. Two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) is a promising candidate for developing efficient and durable LICs due to its wide lithiation potential and unique layer structure, enhancing charge storage efficiency. Modifying the extrinsic features, such as the dimensions and shape at the nanoscale, serves as a potential path to overcome the sluggish kinetics observed in the LICs. Herein, the MoS2 nanoflowers have been synthesized through a hydrothermal route. The developed LIC exhibited a specific capacitance of 202.4 F g-1 at 0.25 A g-1 and capacitance retention of >90 % over 5,000 cycles. Using an ether electrolyte improved the voltage window (2.0 V) and enhanced the stability performance. The ex-situ material characterization after the stability test reveals that the storage mechanism in MoS2-LICs is not diffusion-controlled. Instead, the fast surface redox reactions, especially intercalation/deintercalation of ions, are more prominent for charge storage.

Abstract
In this study, amorphous MoS3-modified porous Co4S3-embedded N,S co-doped carbon polyhedron (Co4S3@NSC/MoS3) was rationally prepared via a multi-step method. One-dimensional linear-like MoS3 with a high specific capacity of 894 mAh g-1 and abundant active sites compensated for the low capacity of Co4S3, thus enhancing the sodium ion storage capacity of the entire electrode. Moreover, three-dimensional N,S co-doped carbon networks (NSC) significantly inhibited large volumetric fluctuations in Co4S3 and MoS3, thereby sustaining the structural stability and enhancing the electron transfer efficiency. As a new anode material for sodium-ion half batteries, the constructed Co4S3@NSC/MoS3 with rapid Na+ diffusion and charge transfer kinetics demonstrated better sodium storage properties than Co4S3@NSC. At a rate of 0.5 A g-1 over 100 cycles, the reversible specific capacity of Co4S3@NSC/MoS3 reached 594 mAh g-1. Even when cycled at a rate of 2 A g-1 for 600 cycles, the charge capacity was stable at 435 mAh g-1. The rate performance of Co4S3@NSC/MoS3 was also found to be remarkable; when the rate increased to 10 A g-1, the average capacity was retained at 382 mAh g-1. Apart from half cells, reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-modified Na3V2(PO4)3 composite (Na3V2(PO4)3@rGO) was used as the cathode material to match with Co4S3@NSC/MoS3. The assembled full batteries were analyzed and their electrochemical properties were discussed. They also exhibited outstanding rate capability and high-rate long-life cyclic property. Even at 1 A g-1 over 500 cycles, the discharge capacity was stably maintained at 246 mAh g-1. The outstanding sodium storage properties of Co4S3@NSC/MoS3 mainly depended on the cooperative effects of MoS3 and Co4S3@NSC, indicating the potential application of Co4S3@NSC/MoS3 in energy storage fields.

Abstract
Beyond-lithium-ion storage devices are promising alternatives to lithium-ion storage devices for low-cost and large-scale applications. Nowadays, the most of high-capacity electrodes are crystal materials. However, these crystal materials with intrinsic anisotropy feature generally suffer from lattice strain and structure pulverization during the electrochemical process. Herein, a 2D heterostructure of amorphous molybdenum sulfide (MoS3 ) on reduced graphene surface (denoted as MoS3 -on-rGO), which exhibits low strain and fast reaction kinetics for beyond-lithium-ions (Na+ , K+ , Zn2+ ) storage is demonstrated. Benefiting from the low volume expansion and small sodiation strain of the MoS3 -on-rGO, it displays ultralong cycling performance of 40 000 cycles at 10 A g-1 for sodium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the as-constructed 2D heterostructure also delivers superior electrochemical performance when used in Na+ full batteries, solid-state sodium batteries, K+ batteries, Zn2+ batteries and hybrid supercapacitors, demonstrating its excellent application prospect.

Abstract
Heavy metals pollution of aqueous solutions generates considerable concerns as they adversely impact the environment and health of humans. Among the remediation technologies, adsorption with metal sulfide nanomaterials has proven to be a promising strategy due to their cost-effective, environmentally friendly, surface modulational, and amenable properties. Their excellent adsorption characteristics are attributed to the inherently exposed sulfur atoms that interact with heavy metals through various processes. This work presents a comprehensive overview of the sequestration of heavy metals from water using metal sulfide nanomaterials. The common methods of synthesis, the structures, and the supports for metal sulfide nano-adsorbents are accentuated. The adsorption mechanisms and governing conditions and parameters are stressed. Practical heavy metal remediation application in aqueous media using metal sulfide nanomaterials is highlighted, and the existing research gaps are underscored.

Abstract
Here, we report that in situ MoS2 and S cathodes (MGC) prepared by simple decomposition of (NH4)2MoS4 facilitate direct formation of Li2S and suppress the long-term problem associated with polysulphide shuttling in Li-S batteries. For comparison, we prepared ex situ MoS2 and S cathodes (EMS) with a similar S/MoS2 mole ratio to that of in situ-prepared cathodes. Discharge capacity of EMS cathodes dropped by 80% after first few cycles, while assembled MGC cells demonstrated an initial discharge capacity of 1649 mA h/g, achieving close to theoretical capacity of elemental sulfur (1675 mA h/g) at C/3 and a reversible capacity of 1500 mA h/g was obtained in further cycles. The MoS2 nanostructure evolution after initial discharge helped in extending the cycle life of assembled cells even at a high C rate. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation was performed to understand the structural stability of intermediate MoS3 and possible electrochemical reactions pertaining to Li+ insertion in MoS2 and S. Based on DFT studies, MoS3 undergoes stoichiometric decomposition to stable MoS2 and S. Furthermore, electrochemical analysis confirmed the redox activity of MoS2 and S at 1.3 and 1.8 V against Li/Li+, respectively.

Abstract
A simple hydrothermal route assisted by a triblock copolymer was used to synthesize Ag2O/Ag nanoparticles on a robotic support consists of functionalized MWCNTs and graphene composite (Ag2O/Ag/CNT-graphene). The composites together with the individual analog of Ag/CNT and Ag/graphene were characterized by means of XRD, TEM-SAED, N2 sorptiometry, Raman, FTIR, UV-Vis, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. These nanomaterials were then tested for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to the technologically beneficial 4-aminophenol (4-AP). The Ag2O@Ag@CNT-graphene composite calcined at 400°C has shown fascinating reduction performances for 4-NP either in the dark (k = 0.014 s-1) or under visible light illumination (k = 0.039 s-1) in the presence of 5 mM NaBH4 compared to Ag/CNT (0.0112 s-1) and Ag/graphene (0.010 s-1) catalysts. This was chiefly because Ag2O@Ag@CNT-graphene comprises the highest pore volume (0.49 cm3/g) and involves three types of pores in the margin from 1.8 to 4.0 nm in front of only one modal type of pores for the rest of the catalysts and thus maximizes the adsorptive capacity of the reactants (4-NP and NaBH4). Moreover, the former composite exhibits the highest concentration of the Ag2O component as established by numerous techniques in addition to the cyclic voltammetry, proposing it's facile reaction with 4-NP along with the simultaneous transfer of surface hydrogen and electrons from NaBH4 ions to produce 4-AP. The promotion of the p-n junction evaluated using the Mott-schottky equation on Ag2O@Ag@CNT-graphene assisted by charges separation and surface plasmon resonance bands of Ag and Ag2O are found to be advantageous for 4-NP reduction. The latter composite delivers a specific capacitance of 355 F g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 exceeding those of Ag/CNT (230 F g-1) and Ag/graphene (185 F g-1). The EIS study establishes the high electronic conductivity of the metallic Ag and Ag2O moieties, low internal resistance of CNT-graphene as well as the marked ionic transfer facilitated by the composite porous nature.
