Abstract
Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) have attracted extensive interest due to their applications in sodium-ion batteries and capacitors, which have been considered expectable candidates for large-scale energy storage systems. The crucial issues for achieving high-performance SIHCs are the reaction kinetics imbalances between the slow Faradic battery-type anodes and fast non-Faradaic capacitive cathodes. Herein, we propose a simple self-template strategy to prepare kinetically well-matched porous framework dual-carbon electrodes for high-performance SIHCs, which stem from the single precursor, sodium ascorbate. The porous framework carbon (PFC) is obtained by direct calcination of sodium ascorbate followed by a washing process. The sodium-ion half cells with PFC anodes exhibit high reversible capacity and fast electrochemical kinetics for sodium storage. Moreover, the as-obtained PFC can be further converted to porous framework activated carbon (PFAC) with rich porosity and a high specific surface area, which displays high capacitive properties. By using kinetically well-matched battery-type PFC anodes and capacitive PFAC cathodes, dual-carbon SIHCs are successfully assembled, which can work well in 0-4 V. The optimal PFC//PFAC SIHC exhibits high energy density (101.6 Wh kg-1 at 200 W kg-1), power density (20 kW kg-1 at 51.1 Wh kg-1), and cyclic performance (71.8 % capacitance attenuation over 10,000 cycles).

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:7111.

Abstract
The investigated starch biopolymer membrane was found to be a sustainable alternative to currently reported and used separators due to its properties, which were evaluated using physicochemical characterization. The molecular dynamics of the biomembrane were analyzed using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF NMR) as well as Raman and infrared spectroscopy, which proved that the chemical composition of the obtained membrane did not degrade during microwave-assisted polymerization. Easily and cheaply prepared through microwave-assisted polymerization, the starch membrane was successfully used as a biodegradable membrane separating the positive and negative electrodes in electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). The obtained results for the electrochemical characterization via cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge with potential limitation (GCPL), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) show a capacitance of 30 F g-1 and a resistance of 2 Ohms; moreover, the longevity of the EDLC during electrochemical floating exceeded more than 200 h or a cyclic ability of 50,000 cycles. Furthermore, due to the flexibility of the membrane, it can be easily used in novel, flexible energy storage systems. This proves that this novel biomembrane can be a significant step toward ecologically friendly energy storage devices and could be considered a cheaper alternative to currently used materials, which cannot easily biodegrade over time in comparison to biopolymers.

Abstract
Interfacial bonding strategy has been successfully applied to address the high overpotential issue of sacrificial additives, which reduced the decompositon potential of Na2C2O4 from 4.50 to 3.95 V. Ultra-low-dose technique assisted commercial sodium ion capacitor (AC//HC) could deliver a remarkable energy density of 118.2 Wh kg-1 as well as excellent cycle stability. In-depth decomposition mechanism of sacrificial compound and the relative influence after pre-metallation were revealed by advanced in situ and ex situ characterization approaches. Sacrificial pre-metallation strategy could compensate for the irreversible consumption of metal ions and reduce the potential of anode, thereby elevating the cycle performance as well as open-circuit voltage for full metal ion capacitors (MICs). However, suffered from massive-dosage abuse, exorbitant decomposition potential, and side effects of decomposition residue, the wide application of sacrificial approach was restricted. Herein, assisted with density functional theory calculations, strongly coupled interface (M-O-C, M = Li/Na/K) and electron donating group have been put forward to regulate the band gap and highest occupied molecular orbital level of metal oxalate (M2C2O4), reducing polarization phenomenon and Gibbs free energy required for decomposition, which eventually decrease the practical decomposition potential from 4.50 to 3.95 V. Remarkably, full sodium ion capacitors constituted of commercial materials (activated carbon//hard carbon) could deliver a prominent energy density of 118.2 Wh kg-1 as well as excellent cycle stability under an ultra-low dosage pre-sodiation reagent of 15-30 wt% (far less than currently 100 wt%). Noteworthily, decomposition mechanism of sacrificial compound and the relative influence on the system of MICs after pre-metallation were initially revealed by in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, offering in-depth insights for comprehending the function of cathode additives. In addition, this breakthrough has been successfully utilized in high performance lithium/potassium ion capacitors with Li2C2O4/K2C2O4 as pre-metallation reagent, which will convincingly promote the commercialization of MICs.

Abstract
The low oxidation potential of a pre-sodiation cathode additive intrinsically prevents decomposition of the electrolyte. Although the introduction of electron-donating substitution reduces the oxidation potential, the additional molecular weight restricts the output capacity. Herein, as theroretically predicted, the electrochemical oxidation potential of sodium carboxylate is manipulated by the electronic effect and regiochemistry of the functionality, in which the stronger electron-donating substituent, p-π conjugation, and optimized regiochemistry can dramatically lead to the lower potential originated from the elevation of the highest occupied molecular orbital level. Thus, benefiting from the para-NH2 unit accompanied by a conjugated aromatic architecture, molecularly engineered sodium para-aminobenzoate (PABZ-Na) presents a reduced oxidation plateau of 3.45 V. Triggered by the positive compensation merit, sodium-based electrochemical storage systems manifest excellent electrochemical performances. This breakthrough sheds light into the correlation between the electronic effect of the functional group and the oxidation potential of the organic additive, affording in-depth insights into the fundamental guidance of pre-sodiation chemistry.

Abstract
Nowadays sodium-based energy storage systems (Na-based ESSs) have been widely researched as it possesses the possibility to replace traditional energy storage media to become next generation energy storage system. However, due to the irreversible loss of sodium ions in the first cycle, development of Na-based ESSs is limited. Presodiation, as a strategy of adding excess sodium ions to the system in advance, accomplishes the enhancement of electrochemical performance. In this minireview, different presodiation strategies applied in sodium-based energy storage systems will be summarized in detail, their functions and corresponding mechanisms will be discussed as well. Furthermore, the current novel application of presodiation method in other aspects of Na-based ESSs will be mentioned additionally. At last, in the view of present research status of presodiation, issues that can be mitigated are put forward and guidelines are given on how to deliberate in-depth presodiation technology in the future, dedicating to promote the further development of Na-based ESSs.

Abstract
Abstract
Energy storage is an integral part of the modern world. One of the newest and most interesting concepts is the internal hybridization achieved in metal-ion capacitors. In this study, for the first time we used sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a sacrificial material for the preparation of next-generation sodium-ion capacitors (NICs). NaBH4 is a material with large irreversible capacity of ca. 700 mA h g−1 at very low extraction potential close to 2.4 vs Na+/Na0. An assembled NIC cell with the composite-positive electrode (activated carbon/NaBH4) and hard carbon as the negative one operates in the voltage range from 2.2 to 3.8 V for 5,000 cycles and retains 92% of its initial capacitance. The presented NIC has good efficiency >98% and energy density of ca. 18 W h kg−1 at power 2 kW kg−1 which is more than the energy (7 W h kg−1 at 2 kW kg−1) of an electrical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) operating at voltage 2.7 V with the equivalent components as in NIC. Tin phosphide (Sn4P3) as a negative electrode allowed the reaching of higher values of the specific energy density 33 W h kg−1 (ca. four times higher than EDLC) at the power density of 2 kW kg−1, with only 1% of capacity loss upon 5,000 cycles and efficiency >99%.
