Abstract
Technological advancements are leading to an upsurge in demand for functional materials that satisfy several of humankind's needs. In addition to this, the current global drive is to develop materials with high efficacy in intended applications whilst practising green chemistry principles to ensure sustainability. Carbon-based materials, such as reduced graphene oxide (RGO), in particular, can possibly meet this criterion because they can be derived from waste biomass (a renewable material), possibly synthesised at low temperatures without the use of hazardous chemicals, and are biodegradable (owing to their organic nature), among other characteristics. Additionally, RGO as a carbon-based material is gaining momentum in several applications due to its lightweight, nontoxicity, excellent flexibility, tuneable band gap (from reduction), higher electrical conductivity (relative to graphene oxide, GO), low cost (owing to the natural abundance of carbon), and potentially facile and scalable synthesis protocols. Despite these attributes, the possible structures of RGO are still numerous with notable critical variations and the synthesis procedures have been dynamic. Herein, we summarize the highlights from the historical breakthroughs in understanding the structure of RGO (from the perspective of GO) and the recent state-of-the-art synthesis protocols, covering the period from 2020 to 2023. These are key aspects in the realisation of the full potential of RGO materials through the tailoring of physicochemical properties and reproducibility. The reviewed work highlights the merits and prospects of the physicochemical properties of RGO toward achieving sustainable, environmentally friendly, low-cost, and high-performing materials at a large scale for use in functional devices/processes to pave the way for commercialisation. This can drive the sustainability and commercial viability aspects of RGO as a material.

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.

Abstract
One of the major challenges to improving the performance of sodium-ion batteries at low temperatures is to develop effective anode materials with novel structures and fast reaction kinetics. Currently, converting electrode materials from the crystalline to amorphous state is an effective approach to fabricate the electrode material with high sodium storage performance. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) cross-linked heterostructure with one-dimensional (1D) amorphous potassium titanate (KTiOx) nanobelts in-situ grown on two-dimensional (2D) titanium carbide (Ti2CTx) nanosheets (a-KTiOx/Ti2CTx) was fabricated through alkalization of the multilayered Ti2CTx MXene, which exhibits remarkable sodium storage performance at both room and low temperatures. The heterostructure prepared by the combination of 1D amorphous nanobelts and 2D conductive nanosheets enables efficient strain alleviation in the electrode, a high capacitive contribution to charge storage, rapid ionic diffusion kinetics, and robust electrode integrity, thus enhancing the sodium storage performance. In particular, reversible capacities of 221.9, 144.2 and 112.6 mAh/g can be achieved at 0.1 A/g after 100 cycles at 25, 0 and -25 °C, respectively. This study provides significant insights into the construction of MXene-based electrode materials for sodium storage at low temperatures.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries, featuring resource abundance and similar working mechanisms to lithium-ion batteries, have gained extensive interest in both scientific exploration and industrial applications. However, the extremely sluggish reaction kinetics of charge carrier (Na+) at subzero temperatures significantly reduces their specific capacities and cycling life. Herein, this study presents a novel hybrid structure with sodium titanium phosphate (NaTi2(PO4)3, NTP) nanocube in-situ decorated on tablet-like carbon (NTP/C), which manifests superior sodium storage performances at low temperatures. At even -25 °C, a stable cycling with a specific capacity of 94.3 mAh/g can still be maintained after 200 cycles at 0.5 A/g, delivering a high capacity retention of 91.5 % compared with that at room temperature, along with an excellent rate capability. Generally, the superionic conductor structure, flat voltage plateaus, as well as the conductive carbonaceous framework can efficiently facilitate the charge transfer, accelerate the diffusion of Na+, and decrease the electrochemical polarization. Moreover, further investigations on diffusion kinetics, solid electrolyte interface layer, and the interaction between NTP and carbonaceous skeleton reveal its high Na+ diffusion coefficient, robust solid electrolyte interface, and strong electronic interaction, thus contributing to the superior capacity retentions at subzero temperatures.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfides, as an important class of inorganics, have been shown to be potential high-performance electrode candidates for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in account of their high activity towards lithium storage, rich types and diverse structures. Despite these advantages, structure degradation related with volume variations upon electrochemical cycling restricts their further development. In this present study, a unique hybrid structure with ultrafine heazlewoodite nanoparticles (less than 10 nm) in-situ confined in nitrogen and sulfur dual-doped carbon (Ni3S2@NSC) was constructed though a facile pyrolysis process, using a novel Ni-based metal chelates as the precursor. Specifically, enhanced structure stability, shortened Li+ migration distance and improved reaction dynamics can be obtained simultaneously in the designed structure, thereby allowing to realize high lithium storage performance. Consequently, a remarkable reversible capacity of 955.9 mAh g-1 (0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles) and a superior long-term cycling stability up to 1200 cycles (863.7 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1) are obtained. Importantly, the fundamental understanding on the improved lithium storage of Ni3S2@NSC based on the synergistic coupling reveals that the combination between Ni3S2 and NSC at the hetero-interface through the doped sulfur atoms contributes to the integrity of electrode and improved kinetics.

Abstract
Although it is a promising sodium storage material due to its excellent electrochemical activity, small bandgap, and large interlayer spacing, layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) suffers from poor rate capability and degraded cycling life, resulting from its serious aggregation upon preparation, sluggish reaction kinetics, and structure expansion during cycling. To address these issues, a polyethyleneimine (PEI)-assisted fabrication approach was developed for the rational synthesis of an interconnected framework with nitrogen-doped carbon-confined MoS2 nanosheets/Ti3 C2 Tx MXene (MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx @NC), where the PEI could guide the uniform growth of MoS2 on Ti3 C2 Tx and the self-generated NC simultaneously enhanced its synergistic coupling with MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx , thus contributing to the improvement of charge transfer, diffusion kinetics, and structural integrity of the hybrid electrode. Consequently, the desired MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx @NC delivered impressive sodium storage performance, demonstrating high reversible capacities of 397.3 and 206.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles and 0.5 A g-1 after 500 cycles, respectively. Moreover, electrochemical kinetics analysis and charge storage mechanism manifested that high capacitive contribution, facilitated Na+ transport pathways, and synergistic electronic coupling between MoS2 /Ti3 C2 Tx and NC contributed to the superior sodium storage performance.
