Abstract
Heteroatom doping is the most common means to enhance the Li+/Na+ ions storage of hard carbon (HC). The explanation of the storage mechanism of heteroatom-doped HC is to increase the active site or widen the layer spacing while ignoring the effect of local bending structure induced by it. Meanwhile, the storage mechanism by the localized bending structure also lacks in-depth study. Herein, a locally curved configuration and an amorphous structure are designed by introducing different heteroatoms, respectively, and the mechanism of the two types of structures on the Li+/Na+ ions storage is explored. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that the adsorption energy of Li+/Na+ ions is optimal at the appropriate curvature of 27.72 m-1. Serving as anode for lithium/sodium ion batteries in ester electrolytes, the optimized HCs demonstrate satisfied specific capacity and high-rate capability, respectively. Furthermore, the charging capacity below 1.0 V of HC with suitable curvature microstructure reaches 84.8% and 90.1% of the total charge capacity, confirming that the curvature defects can better control the delithiation/desodiation process, and provide a higher energy density. This study enlightens new insights into the storage mechanisms of Li+/Na+ ions and provides guidance for better design of heteroatom-doped carbon anodes with superior performance.

Abstract
Carbon materials are considered among the most promosing candidates for sodium ion batteries because of their competitive performance. Nevertheless, they suffer from low initial coulombic efficiencies (ICEs) and limited electrochemical performance. Herein, nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (NHCSs) with a distinct porous structure are developed by a template-assisted carbonization of dopamine, followed by a template removal procedure. This advanced structural design, coupled with the surface chemistry of carbonized polydopamine, leads to an impressive ICE of 89.18% and a reversible capacity stabilized at ∼700 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1 after 100 cycles. Compared to commercial hard carbon anodes, NHCSs demonstrate superior rate performance, delivering a capacity of ∼200 mA g h-1 at 5 A g-1 with minimal capacity fading of ∼0.057 mA h g-1 per cycle over 1000 cycles. These findings highlight the potential of NHCSs as a high-performance anode material for sodium-ion batteries, offering both high efficiency and excellent cycling stability.

Abstract
Hyper cross-linked polymers (HCPs), as a key precursor of hard carbon (HC) anode materials, stand out because of their capacity for molecular-scale structural design and comparatively straightforward preparation techniques, which are not seen in other porous materials synthesized procedure. A novel synthesis method of HCPs is developed in this paper, which is through the incorporation of functional macromolecules, the structural control and heteroatom doping of the product has been achieved, thus augmenting its electrochemical performance in batteries. In this work, carbonized tetraphenylporphyrin zinc (TPP-Zn) doped HCP-based hard carbon (CTHCP) with stable structure was prepared by Friedel-Crafts reaction and carbonization by using naphthalene and trace TPP-Zn as monomers, dimethoxybenzene (DMB) as crosslinking agent and FeCl3 as catalyst. The introduction of TPP-Zn, a functional macromolecule with unique two-dimensional structure, realized the pore structure regulation and N doping of the raw carbonized HCP-based hard carbon (CHCP). The results showed that CTHCP had higher mesoporous volume, N content and wider layer spacing than CHCP. In addition, CTHCP anode exhibited excellent Li+/Na+ storage performance, initial reversible capacity, rate performance and long cycle life. More amount of N-containing (N-5) active sites and mesoporous content in CTHCP anode was the main reason for the improvement of Na+ storage effect. While the increased interlayer spacing had a greater effect on the lithium storage capacity. This study uncovered the design rules of HC anode materials suitable for Li+/Na+ batteries and provided a new idea for the preparation of high-performance HC anode materials.

Abstract
Hard carbons (HCs), while a leading candidate for sodium-ion battery (SIB) anode materials, face challenges in their unfavorable sodiation kinetics since the intricate microstructure of HCs complicates the Na+ diffusion channel. Herein, a Hovenia dulcis-derived HC realizes a markedly enhanced high-rate performance in virtue of dual-functionalized Ca. The interlayer doped Ca2+ effectively enlarges the interlayer spacing, while the in situ-formed CaSe templates induce the formation of hierarchical pore structures and intrinsic defects, significantly providing fast Na+ diffusion channels and abundant active sites and thus enhancing the sodium storage kinetics. Achieved by the synergistic effect of regulation of intrinsic microcrystalline and pore structures, the optimized HC shows remarkable performance enhancements, including a high reversible capacity of 350.3 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles at 50 mA g-1, a high-capacity retention rate of 95.3% after 1000 cycles, and excellent rate performance (108.4 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1). This work sheds light on valuable insight into the structural adjustment of high-rate HCs, facilitating the widespread utilization of SIBs.

Abstract
Quasi-solid-state supercapacitors have wide application prospects in flexible and scalable electronics, which require high capacity, simple form factor, and excellent mechanical robustness. However, it is a challenge to have all these benefits in one material. Addressing this, we report a composite hydrogel with excellent mechanical durability and freezing resistance. The designed composite hydrogel acts both as a load-bearing layer to maintain its structure during deformation and as a permeable binder to stimulate the interfacing between the conductive electrode and the electrolyte to reduce the interface resistance. Flexible supercapacitors are assembled with composite hydrogels and high-performance MnO2/carbon cloth, which has excellent performance and can store energy at different temperatures or bending states. These results show that the tough hydrogel facilitates the improvement of electrical and mechanical stability, showing great potential in wide-temperature wearable devices.

Abstract
Benefiting from the additional active sites for sodium-ion (Na+) adsorption and porous architecture for electrolyte accessibility, nitrogen-doped porous carbon has been considered the alternative anode material for Na+-storage applications. In this study, nitrogen-doped and zinc-confined microporous carbon (N,Z-MPC) powders are successfully prepared by thermally pyrolyzing the polyhedral ZIF-8 nanoparticles under an argon atmosphere. Following the electrochemical measurements, the N,Z-MPC not only delivers good reversible capacity (423 mAh/g at 0.02 A/g) and comparable rate capability (104 mAh/g at 1.0 A/g) but also achieves a remarkable cyclability (capacity retention: 96.6% after 3000 cycles at 1.0 A/g). Those can be attributed to its intrinsic characteristics: (a) 67% of the disordered structure, (b) 0.38 nm of interplanar distance, (c) a great proportion of sp2-type carbon, (d) abundant microporosity, (e) 16.1% of nitrogen doping, and (f) existence of sodiophilic Zn species, synergistically enhancing the electrochemical performances. Accordingly, the findings observed here support the N,Z-MPC to be a potential anode material enabling exceptional Na+-storage abilities.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are expected to be ideal alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the future due to their abundant and low-cost resource advantages. A key challenge in SIBs is the development of anodes capable of insertion/extraction of sodium ions (Na+) with large radii. Here, hollow bowl-shaped porous carbon materials are uniformly modified with vertically grown graphene (denoted as HBC/VGSs) demonstrating a large specific surface area and three-dimensional structure, which are employed as a viable high-performance anode for SIBs. HBC/VGSs anodes are highly effective at storing sodium because of their structural features. As a result, the HBC/VGSs electrodes provide a high reversible capacity of 409 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1, as well as outstanding rate capability (301.6 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1). Moreover, it also shows extraordinary cycling stability (230.3 mAh g-1 after 2500 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1) that is significantly better than the pristine hollow bowl-shaped porous carbon (HBC). Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (GITT) were used to analyze the pseudocapacitance and sodium storage kinetics. It was found that high electrical conductivity and large surface area can improve Na+ adsorption and diffusion, enhance the electronic conductivity, and deliver superior capacity and rate. The results, taken as a whole, provide new insight into the creation of long-lasting carbon anodes that deliver optimal performance in SIBs.

Abstract
Developing an anode with excellent rate performance, long-cycle stability, high coulombic efficiency, and high specific capacity is one of the key research directions of sodium-ion batteries. Among all the anode materials, noncrystalline carbon (NCC) has great possibilities according to its supreme performance and low cost, but with the complexity and variability of the structure. With the in-depth study of the sodium storage behaviors of NCC in recent years, three modes of interlayer intercalation, clustering into micropores, and adsorption are reported and summarized. Although the storage mechanism has gradually become more evident, the complex behavior of the ions at different voltage regions, especially in the low-voltage (plateau) region, still remains controversial. It is essential to understand further the relationship between ions and NCC structure during energy storage processes. Based on the summary of previous works, this article has reviewed the storage mechanism of sodium ions in NCC and evaluated the structure-behavior relationship between sodium-ion storage and the carbon structure.

Abstract
The powerful and rapid development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in secondary batteries field makes lithium resources in short supply, leading to rising battery costs. Under the circumstances, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with low cost, inexhaustible sodium reserves, and analogous work principle to LIBs, have evolved as one of the most anticipated candidates for large-scale energy storage devices. Thereinto, the applicable electrode is a core element for the smooth development of SIBs. Among various anode materials, metal selenides (MSex ) with relatively high theoretical capacity and unique structures have aroused extensive interest. Regrettably, MSex suffers from large volume expansion and unwished side reactions, which result in poor electrochemistry performance. Thus, strategies such as carbon modification, structural design, voltage control as well as electrolyte and binder optimization are adopted to alleviate these issues. In this review, the synthesis methods and main reaction mechanisms of MSex are systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the major challenges of MSex and the corresponding available strategies are proposed. Furthermore, the recent research progress on layered and nonlayered MSex for application in SIBs is presented and discussed in detail. Finally, the future development focuses of MSex in the field of rechargeable ion batteries are highlighted.

Abstract
MOF-based materials are a class of efficient precursors for the preparation of heteroatom-doped porous carbon materials that have been widely applied as anode materials for Na-ion batteries. Thereinto, sulfur is often introduced to increase defects and act as an active species to directly react with sodium ions. Although the sulfur introduction and high surface area can synergistically improve capacity and rate capability, the initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and electrical conductivity of carbon material are inevitably reduced. Therefore, balancing sodium storage capacity and ICE is still the bottleneck faced by adsorbent carbon materials. Here, sulfur-encapsulated microporous carbon material with nitrogen, sulfur dual-doping (NSPC) is synthesized by postprocessing, achieving the reduced specific surface area by encapsulating sulfur in micropores, and the increased active sites by edge sulfur doping. The synergy between encapsulation and sulfur doping effectively balances specific capacity, rate capability, and ICE. The NSPC material exhibits capacities of 591.5 and 244.2 mAh g-1 at 0.5 and at 10 A g-1, respectively, and the ICE is as high as 72.3%. Moreover, the effect of nitrogen and sulfur on the improvement of electron/ion diffusion kinetics is resonantly demonstrated by density functional theory calculations. This synergistic preparation method may reveal a feasible thought for fabricating excellent-performance adsorption-type carbon materials for Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
The fabrication of heteroatom-doped porous carbon materials with high electrical conductivity and large specific surface area via an environmentally friendly route is critical and challenging. Herein, nitrogen and oxygen co-doped agar porous carbon (APC) was developed for supercapacitors via a one-step carbonization method with agar as the raw material and ammonia as the activator and nitrogen source. APC outperformed pectin porous carbon, tamarind porous carbon, and the previously reported carbon-based supercapacitors with a high capacitance retention of 72% even from 0.5 A g-1 to 20 A g-1 and excellent cycling stability in 6 M KOH solution (retained after 10 000 cycles) with a rate of over 98.5%. Furthermore, the APC electrode-based symmetric device exhibited an impressive energy density of 20.4 W h kg-1 and an ultra-high power density of 449 W kg-1 in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte together with excellent cycling stability (103.2% primary capacitance retentivity after 10 000 cycles). This study offers a novel method for the synthesis of nitrogen heteroatom-doped hierarchical porous carbon materials for performance-enhanced energy storage devices.

Abstract
Advances in on-line thermally induced evolved gas analysis (OLTI-EGA) have been systematically reported by our group to update their applications in several different fields and to provide useful starting references. The importance of an accurate interpretation of the thermally-induced reaction mechanism which involves the formation of gaseous species is necessary to obtain the characterization of the evolved products. In this review, applications of Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) performed by on-line coupling heating devices to mass spectrometry (EGA-MS), are reported. Reported references clearly demonstrate that the characterization of the nature of volatile products released by a substance subjected to a controlled temperature program allows us to prove a supposed reaction or composition, either under isothermal or under heating conditions. Selected 2019, 2020, and 2021 references are collected and briefly described in this review.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered to be strong candidates for large-scale energy storage with the benefits of cost-effectiveness and sodium abundance. Reliable electrolytes, as ionic conductors that regulate the electrochemical reaction behavior and the nature of the interface and electrode, are indispensable in the development of advanced SIBs with high Coulombic efficiency, stable cycling performance and high rate capability. Conventional carbonate-based electrolytes encounter numerous obstacles for their wide application in SIBs due to the formation of a dissolvable, continuous-thickening solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer and inferior stability with electrodes. Comparatively, ether-based electrolytes (EBEs) are emerging in the secondary battery field with fascinating properties to improve the performance of batteries, especially SIBs. Their stable solvation structure enables highly reversible solvent-co-intercalation reactions and the formation of a thin and stable SEI. However, although EBEs can provide more stable cycling and rapid sodiation kinetics in electrodes, benefitting from their favorable electrolyte/electrode interactions such as chemical compatibility and good wettability, their special chemistry is still being investigated and puzzling. In this review, we provide a thorough and comprehensive overview on the developmental history, fundamental characteristics, superiorities and mechanisms of EBEs, together with their advances in other battery systems. Notably, the relation among electrolyte science, interfacial chemistry and electrochemical performance is highlighted, which is of great significance for the in-depth understanding of battery chemistry. Finally, future perspectives and potential directions are proposed to navigate the design and optimization of electrolytes and electrolyte/electrode interfaces for advanced batteries.
