Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have undergone rapid development as a complementary technology to lithium-ion batteries due to abundant sodium resources. However, the extended charging time and low energy density pose a significant challenge to the widespread use of SIBs in electric vehicles. To overcome this hurdle, there is considerable focus on developing fast-charging anode materials with rapid Na⁺ diffusion and superior reaction kinetics. Here, the key factors that limit the fast charging of anode materials are examined, which provides a comprehensive overview of the major advances and fast-charging characteristics across various anode materials. Specifically, it systematically dissects considerations to enhance the rate performance of anode materials, encompassing aspects such as porous engineering, electrolyte desolvation strategies, electrode/electrolyte interphase, electronic conductivity/ion diffusivity, and pseudocapacitive ion storage. Finally, the direction and prospects for developing fast-charging anode materials of SIBs are also proposed, aiming to provide a valuable reference for the further advancement of high-power SIBs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials like graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), boron nitrides, etc., exhibit unique and fascinating properties, such as high surface-to-volume ratio, inherent mechanical flexibility and robustness, tunable bandgap, and high carrier mobility, which makes them an apt candidate for flexible electronics with low consumption of power. Because of these properties, they are in tremendous demand for advancement in energy, environmental, and biomedical sectors developed through various technologies. The production and scalability of these materials must be sustainable and ecofriendly to utilize these unique properties in the real world. Here, in this current review, we review molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 nanosheets) in detail, focusing on exfoliated MoS2 in water and the applicability of aqueous MoS2 suspensions in various fields. The exfoliation of MoS2 results in the formation of single or few-layered MoS2. Therefore, this Review focuses on the few layers of exfoliated MoS2 that have the additional properties of 2D layered materials and higher excellent compatibility for integration than existing conventional Si tools. Hence, a few layers of exfoliated MoS2 are widely explored in biosensing, gas sensing, catalysis, photodetectors, energy storage devices, a light-emitting diode (LED), adsorption, etc. This review covers the numerous methodologies to exfoliate MoS2, focusing on the various published methodologies to obtain nanosheets of MoS2 from water solutions and their use.

Abstract
Cobalt oxide (Co3O4)-based nanostructures have the potential as low-cost materials for lithium-ion (Li-ion) and sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery anodes with a theoretical capacity of 890 mAh/g. Here, we demonstrate a novel method for the production of Co3O4 nanoplatelets. This involves the growth of flower-like cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanostructures at a polarized liquid|liquid interface, followed by conversion to flower-like Co3O4 via calcination. Finally, sonication is used to break up the flower-like Co3O4 nanostructures into two-dimensional (2D) nanoplatelets with lateral sizes of 20-100 nm. Nanoplatelets of Co3O4 can be easily mixed with carbon nanotubes to create nanocomposite anodes, which can be used for Li-ion and Na-ion battery anodes without any additional binder or conductive additive. The resultant electrodes display impressive low-rate capacities (at 125 mA/g) of 1108 and 1083 mAh/g, for Li-ion and Na-ion anodes, respectively, and stable cycling ability over >200 cycles. Detailed quantitative rate analysis clearly shows that Li-ion-storing anodes charge roughly five times faster than Na-ion-storing anodes.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) operating in aqueous electrolyte are an emerging technology that promises to be safer, cheaper, more sustainable and more efficient than their lithium-based counterparts. One of the great challenges associated with this technology is the development of advanced materials with high specific capacity to be used as electrodes. Herein, we describe an ingenious strategy to prepare unprecedented tri-component nanoarchitected thin films with superior performance when applied as anodes in aqueous SIBs. Taking advantage of the broadness and versatility of the liquid-liquid interfacial route, three transparent nanocomposite films comprising graphene, molybdenum sulphide and copper oxide nanoparticles have been prepared. The samples were characterized using several techniques, and the results demonstrated that depending on the specific experimental strategy, different nanoarchitectures are achieved, resulting in different and improved properties. An astonishing capacity of 1377 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and a degree of recovery of 100% were observed for the film in which the interactions among the components were optimized. This is among the highest capacity values reported in the literature and demonstrates the potential of these tri-component materials to be used as anodes in aqueous sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
With the rapid improvement of compact smart devices, fabricating anode materials with high volumetric capacity has gained substantial interest for future sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) applications. Herein, a novel bimetal sulfide CuCo5 S8 material is proposed with enhanced volumetric capacity due to the intrinsic metallic electronic conductivity of the material and multi-electron transfer during electrochemical procedures. Due to the intrinsic metallic behavior, the conducting additive (CA) could be removed from the electrode fabrication without scarifying the high rate capability. The CA-free CuCo5 S8 electrode can achieve a high volumetric capacity of 1436.4 mA h cm-3 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 and 100 % capacity retention over 2000 cycles in SIBs, outperforming most metal chalcogenides, owing to the enhanced electrode density. Reversible conversion reactions are revealed by combined measurements for sodium systems. The proposed new strategy offers a viable approach for developing innovative anode materials with high-volumetric capacity.

Abstract
Constructing nanostructures with high structural stability and ultrafast electrochemical reaction kinetics as anodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is a big challenge. Herein, the robust 2D VS2 / Ti3 C2 Tx MXene nanostructures with the strong Ti─S covalent bond synthesized by a one-pot self-assembly approach are developed. The strong interfacial interaction renders the material of good structural durability and enhanced reaction kinetics. Meanwhile, the enlarged and few-layered MXene nanosheets can be easily obtained according to this interaction, providing a conductive network for sufficient electrolyte penetration and rapid charge transfer. As predicted, the VS2 /MXene nanostructures exhibit an extremely low sodium diffusion barrier confirmed by DFT calculations and small charge transfer impedance evidenced by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis. Therefore, the SIBs based on the VS2 /MXene electrode present first-class electrochemical performance with the ultrahigh average initial columbic efficiency of 95.08% and excellent sodium-ion storage capacity of 424.6 mAh g-1 even at 10 A g-1 . It also shows an outstanding sodium-ion storage capacity of 514.2 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a capacity retention of nearly 100% within 500 times high-rate cycling. Such impressive performance demonstrates the successful synthesis strategy and the great potential of interfacial interactions for high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SEs) have attracted overwhelming attention as a promising alternative to traditional organic liquid electrolytes (OLEs) for high-energy-density sodium-metal batteries (SMBs), owing to their intrinsic incombustibility, wider electrochemical stability window (ESW), and better thermal stability. Among various kinds of SEs, inorganic solid-state electrolytes (ISEs) stand out because of their high ionic conductivity, excellent oxidative stability, and good mechanical strength, rendering potential utilization in safe and dendrite-free SMBs at room temperature. However, the development of Na-ion ISEs still remains challenging, that a perfect solution has yet to be achieved. Herein, we provide a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the state-of-the-art ISEs, aiming at revealing the underlying Na+ conduction mechanisms at different length scales, and interpreting their compatibility with the Na metal anode from multiple aspects. A thorough material screening will include nearly all ISEs developed to date, i.e., oxides, chalcogenides, halides, antiperovskites, and borohydrides, followed by an overview of the modification strategies for enhancing their ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility with Na metal, including synthesis, doping and interfacial engineering. By discussing the remaining challenges in ISE research, we propose rational and strategic perspectives that can serve as guidelines for future development of desirable ISEs and practical implementation of high-performance SMBs.

Abstract
Composites of nanocarbon network structures are interesting materials, combining mechanical properties and electrical conductivity superior to those of granular systems. Hence, they are envisaged to have applications as electrodes for energy storage and transfer. Here, we show a new processing route using Joule heating for a nanostructured network composite of carbon nanotube (CNT) fabrics and an inorganic phase (namely, MoS2), and then study the resulting structure and properties. To this end, first, a unidirectional fabric of conductive CNT bundles is electrochemically coated with MoS2. Afterward, the conformally coated inorganic phase is crystallized via heat generated by direct current passing through the CNT ensemble. The Joule heating process is rapid (maximum heating rate up to 31.7 °C/s), enables accurate temperature control, and takes only a few minutes. The resulting composite material combines a high electrical conductivity of up to 1.72 (±0.25) × 105 S/m, tensile modulus as high as 8.82 ± 5.5 GPa/SG, and an axial tensile strength up to 200 ± 58 MPa/SG. Both electrical and mechanical properties are orders of magnitude above those of wet-processed nanocomposites of similar composition. The extraordinary longitudinal properties stem from the network of interconnected and highly aligned CNT bundles. Conductivity and modulus follow approximately a rule of mixtures, similar to a continuous fiber composite, whereas strength scales almost quadratically with the mass fraction of the inorganic phase due to the inorganic constraining realignment of CNTs upon stretching. This processing route is applicable to a wide range of nanocarbon-based composites with inorganic phases, leading to composites with specific strength above steel and electrical conductivity beyond the threshold for electronic limitations in battery electrodes.

Abstract
Liver cancer is one of the most common global health problems that features a high mortality rate. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a potential liver cancer biomarker for the diagnosis of liver cancer. The quantitative detection of AFP at an ultratrace level has important medical significance. Using the reaction of the antibody-antigen pair in an immunosensor enables the sensitive and selective AFP assay. Finding a strategy in signal generation and amplification is challenging to fabricate new sensitive electrochemical immunosensors for AFP detection. This study demonstrates the construction of a simple, reliable, and label-free immunosensor for the detection of AFP on a smart phone. Exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) and 2D tungsten diselenide (WSe2) were employed to modify the disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to use as the electrochemical platform, which is affixed to a small potentiostat connected to a smart phone. The modified electrode offers antibody immobilization and allows detection of AFP via an immunocomplex forming a sandwich-like configuration with the AFP-corresponding aptamer. A heterojunction 2D MoSe2/2D WSe2 composite improves the SPCE's reactivity and provides a large surface area and good adsorption capacity for the immobilizing antibodies. The signal generation for the immunosensor is from the electrochemical response of methylene blue (MB) intercalating into the aptamer bound on the electrode. The response for the proposed sandwich-like immunosensor is proportional to the AFP concentration (1.0-50,000 pg ml-1). The biosensor has potential for the development of a simple and robust point-of-care diagnostic platform for the clinical diagnosis of liver cancer, achieving a low limit of detection (0.85 pg ml-1), high sensitivity, high selectivity, good stability, and excellent reproducibility.

Abstract
As one of the prevailing energy storage systems, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become an essential pillar in electric vehicles (EVs) during the past decade, contributing significantly to a carbon-neutral future. However, the complete transition to electric vehicles requires LIBs with yet higher energy and power densities. Here, we propose an effective methodology via controlled nanosheet self-assembly to prepare low-tortuosity yet high-density and high-toughness thick electrodes. By introducing a delicate densification in a three-dimensionally interconnected nanosheet network to maintain its vertical architecture, facile electron and ion transports are enabled despite their high packing density. This dense and thick electrode is capable of delivering a high volumetric capacity >1,600 mAh cm-3, with an areal capacity up to 32 mAh cm-2, which is among the best reported in the literature. The high-performance electrodes with superior mechanical and electrochemical properties demonstrated in this work provide a potentially universal methodology in designing advanced battery electrodes with versatile anisotropic properties.

Abstract
For nearly 15 years, researchers have been using liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) to produce 2D nanosheets from layered crystals. This has yielded multiple 2D materials in a solution-processable form whose utility has been demonstrated in multiple applications. It was believed that the exfoliation of such materials is enabled by the very large bonding anisotropy of layered materials where the strength of intralayer chemical bonds is very much larger than that of interlayer van der Waals bonds. However, over the last five years, a number of papers have raised questions about our understanding of exfoliation by describing the LPE of nonlayered materials. These results are extremely surprising because, as no van der Waals gap is present to provide an easily cleaved direction, the exfoliation of such compounds requires the breaking of only chemical bonds. Here the progress in this unexpected new research area is examined. The structure and properties of nanoplatelets produced by LPE of nonlayered materials are reviewed. A number of unexplained trends are found, not least the preponderance of isotropic materials that have been exfoliated to give high-aspect-ratio nanoplatelets. Finally, the applications potential of this new class of 2D materials are considered.

Abstract
The structural stability and reaction kinetics of anodes are essential factors for high-performance battery systems. Herein, the molybdenum sulfide selenide (MoSSe) nanosheets anchored on carbon tubes (MoSSe@CTs) are synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method combining with further selenization/calcination treatment. The unique tubular carbon skeletons expose abundant active sites for the well-dispersed growth of MoS2 ultrathin nanosheets on both sides of the tubular carbon skeleton. In addition, the further selenization treatment can expand the interlayer spacing of molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) nanosheets and facilitate the fast sodium/potassium-ion transition and storage. When used in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), MoSSe@CTs electrode delivers a specific capacity of 486 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and retains a stable reversible capacity of 465 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles, indicating its good cycling stability. For potassium-ion batteries (KIBs), the MoSSe@CTs composite shows a capacity of 352 mA hg-1 at 1 A g-1 and a good cycling stability (maintains at 272 mA hg-1 after 1000 cycles). This work shows informative guiding significance for exploring advanced electrode materials of sodium/potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Using high-capacity alloy-type anodes can greatly advance potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, the primary limits are unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and tough interfacial ion transfer associated with large-size K+ during electrochemical (de)alloy reactions. Here, we achieve excellent energy storage performance of PIBs via the synergy between a nanostructured Bi@N-doped carbon (Bi@NC) bulk anode and a KPF6-dimethoxyethane (DME) electrolyte. The Bi@NC material with a high tap density of 3.81 g cm-3 is prepared by simply pyrolyzing a commercial Bi salt yet affords a favorable nano/microstructure consisting of Bi nanograins confined in 3D ultrathin N-doped carbon shells, facilitating electron/ion transport and structural integrity. Detailed impedance spectroscopy investigation unveils that K+ transport through SEI at the Bi@NC anode, rather than the desolvation of K+, dominates the interfacial K+ transfer. More importantly, spectroscopic and microscopic characterizations provide clear evidence that the interplay between Bi@NC anode and optimized KPF6-DME electrolyte can produce a unique SEI layer containing Bi3+-solvent complex that enables the activation energy of interfacial K+ transfer as low as 25.9 kJ mol-1, thereby ultrafast charge transfer at Bi@NC. Consequently, the Bi@NC anode in half cells achieves exceptional rate capability (206 mAh g-1 or 784 mAh cm-3 at 120C) accompanied by high specific capacity (331 mAh g-1 or 1261 mAh cm-3) and long cycle life (running 1400 cycles at 15C with a tiny capacity fading rate of 0.013% per cycle). Moreover, the Bi@NC anode and KPF6-DME electrolyte are also compatible with a potassium Prussian blue cathode and assembled full PIBs achieve stable cyclability (87.3% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 2.5C) and excellent rate performance (65.1% capacity retention upon increasing rates from 1 to 20C).

Abstract
Energy storage has become increasingly important as a study area in recent decades. A growing number of academics are focusing their attention on developing and researching innovative materials for use in energy storage systems to promote sustainable development goals. This is due to the finite supply of traditional energy sources, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, and escalating regional tensions. Because of these issues, sustainable renewable energy sources have been touted as an alternative to nonrenewable fuels. Deployment of renewable energy sources requires efficient and reliable energy storage devices due to their intermittent nature. High-performance electrochemical energy storage technologies with high power and energy densities are heralded to be the next-generation storage devices. Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have sparked interest among electrode materials because of their intriguing electrochemical properties. Researchers have revealed a variety of modifications to improve their electrochemical performance in energy storage. However, a stronger link between the type of change and the resulting electrochemical performance is still desired. This review examines the synthesis of chalcogenides for electrochemical energy storage devices, their limitations, and the importance of the modification method, followed by a detailed discussion of several modification procedures and how they have helped to improve their electrochemical performance. We also discussed chalcogenides and their composites in batteries and supercapacitors applications. Furthermore, this review discusses the subject’s current challenges as well as potential future opportunities.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), with a two-dimensional (2D) structure, has attracted huge research interest due to its unique electrical, optical, and physicochemical properties. MoS2 has been used as a co-catalyst for the synthesis of novel heterojunction composites with enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production under solar light irradiation. In this review, we briefly highlight the atomic-scale structure of MoS2 nanosheets. The top-down and bottom-up synthetic methods of MoS2 nanosheets are described. Additionally, we discuss the formation of MoS2 heterostructures with titanium dioxide (TiO2), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and other semiconductors and co-catalysts for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen generation. This review addresses the challenges and future perspectives for enhancing solar hydrogen production performance in heterojunction materials using MoS2 as a co-catalyst.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide materials show potential for use in alkali metal ion batteries owing to their remarkable physical and chemical properties. Nevertheless, the electrochemical energy storage performance is still impaired by the tendency of aggregation, volume, and morphological change during the conversion reaction and poor intrinsic conductivity. Until now, ultrathin molybdenum disulfide nanosheets with a metallic-phase structure on the inner surface of mesoporous hollow carbon spheres (M-MoS2@HCS) have rarely been investigated as an anode for sodium-ion batteries. In this work, a novel M-MoS2@HCS anode was designed and synthesized by employing a template-assisted solvothermal reaction. Structural and chemical analyses indicate that the M-MoS2 nanosheets with a larger interlayer spacing compared to their semiconductor counterpart grow on the inner surface of HCS via covalent interactions. When used as the anode materials for Na+ storage, the M-MoS2@HCS anode presents durable and rapid sodium storage properties. The developed electrode shows a reversible capacity of 291.2 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 5 A g-1. After 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1, the reversible capacity is 401.3 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention rate of 79%. After 2500 cycles at 1.0 A g-1, the electrode still delivers a reversible capacity of 320.1 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention rate of 75%. The excellent sodium storage capability of the MoS2@HCS electrode is explained by the special structural design, which reveals great potential to accelerate the practical applications of transition-metal dichalcogenide electrodes for sodium storage.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, as part of the post-lithium-ion batteries (post-LIBs), are expected to deliver significantly higher energy densities. Their power densities, however, are today considerably worse than that of the LIBs, limiting the Li-S batteries to very few specific applications that need low power and long working time. With the rapid development of single cell components (cathode, anode, or electrolyte) in the last few years, it is expected that an integrated approach can maximize the power density without compromising the energy density in a Li-S full cell. Here, this goal is achieved by using a novel biomass porous carbon matrix (PCM) in the anode, as well as N-Co9 S8 nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the cathode. The authors' approach unlocks the potential of the electrodes and enables the Li-S full pouch cells with unprecedented power densities and energy densities (325 Wh kg-1 and 1412 W kg-1 , respectively). This work addresses the problem of low power densities in the current Li-S technology, thus making the Li-S batteries a strong candidate in more application scenarios.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet membranes have been widely studied for water and wastewater treatment. However, mass transport inside 2D nanosheet membranes is far from being fully understood, and suitable applications of these membranes are yet to be identified. In this study, we investigate ion transport inside a 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membrane by combining experimental results with numerical modeling. Specifically, we analyze the influence of the electrical double layer (EDL) extension on ion diffusion in the MoS2 membrane, and a parameter called the exclusion-enrichment coefficient (β) is introduced to quantify how the electrostatic interaction between the coions and the EDL can affect the ion diffusion. Using the model developed in this study, the β values under different experimental conditions (feed solution concentration and applied hydraulic pressure) are calculated. The results show that coion diffusion inside the membrane can be retarded since β is smaller than one. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism is explored by theoretically estimating the radial ion concentration and electrical potential distributions across the membrane nanochannel. In addition, we find that convective mass transport can weaken the exclusion-enrichment effect by increasing β. Based on the results in this study, the potential applications and feasible membrane design strategies of 2D nanosheet membranes are discussed.

Abstract
Exploring active materials with a high rate capability and long lifespan for sodium ion batteries attracts much more attention and plays an important role in realizing clean energy storage and conversion. The strategy of optimizing the electronic structure by atomic element substitution within MoS2 layers was employed to change the inherent physical property. The enhanced electronic conductivity from a decreased bandgap and increased surface Na+ adsorption energy can efficiently and dramatically optimize the electrochemical performance for sodium storage. Attempting to limit the large volume variation and avoid MoS2 nanosheet stacking and restacking, numerous nanosheets are in situ grown into a designed hierarchical mesopore carbon matrix. This structure can tightly capture the nanosheets to prevent them from aggregating and offer a sufficient buffer zone for alleviating severe volume changes during the discharging/charging process, contributing remarkably to the structural integrity and superior rate performance of electrodes.

Abstract
To meet the ever-growing demand for advanced rechargeable batteries with light weight and compact size, much effort has been devoted to improving the volumetric capacity of electrodes. Herein, an effective strategy of polymorph engineering is proposed to boost the volumetric capacity of FeSe. Owing to the inherent metallic electronic conductivity of tetragonal-FeSe, a conductive additive-free electrode (hereafter denoted as CA-free) can be assembled with an enhanced sodium storage volumetric capacity of 1011 mAh cm-3 , significantly higher than semiconducting hexagonal-FeSe. Impressively, the CA-free electrode can achieve an extremely high active material utilization of 96.7 wt% and high initial Coulombic efficiency of 96%, superior to most of the anodes for Na-ion storage. Moreover, the design methodology is branched out using tetragonal FeSe as the cathode for Li-ion batteries. The CA-free tetragonal-FeSe electrode can achieve a high volumetric energy density of 1373 Wh L-1 and power density of 7200 W L-1 , outperforming most metal chalcogenides. Reversible conversion reactions are revealed by in situ XRD for both sodium and lithium systems. The proposed design strategy provides new insight and inspiration to aid in the ongoing quest for better electrode materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS2, have been considered to be a promising anode material for sodium storage. However, their performance have been limited by the sluggish sodium diffusion kinetics. In this work, high performance anode material was obtained through constructing hierarchical MoS2 nanosheets assembled hollow spheres. The used self-templating method show more feasibility than the commonly reported template removal-involved routes. The prepared hollow structure can also provide rapid and stable electron/sodium ion transport without the assistance of conducting substrates, which enables the MoS2 anodes exhibit a high specific capacity of 527 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. Even at a high current density of 1 A g-1, capacity of 357 mAh g-1 can still be obtained after 500 cycles (capacity retention ~94.5%). This work provides a facile way towards high performance MoS2 anode materials for sodium-ion battery.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with a graphite-like layer structure has attracted substantial interest as an anode material for sodium ion batteries (SIBs), but its inherent poor electrical conductivity and slow sodium ion transportation are the two important factors that limit its use in SIBs. Here, we report a general approach to synthesize a series of molecule-intercalated MoS2 with a precisely controlled interlayer distance of 0.62 to 1.24 nm in which the electrical conductivity could be also widely and finely adjusted from 1.3 × 10-4 to 3.5 × 10-2 S cm-1 via the insertion of different molecules. By adjusting the interlayer space and enhancing the electrical conductivity, the highest initial sodium ion storage capacity of 465 mA h g-1 (vs 195 mA h g-1 for the pure MoS2 anode) and the highest capacity of 420 mA h g-1 (vs 31 mA h g-1 for the pure MoS2 anode) after 600 cycles at a rate of 100 mA g-1 were obtained. The excellent performance is credited to the rapid Na+ and electron transport and higher material utilization derived from the synergistic effect of the expanded interlayer space and the higher electronic conductivity. The results provide some inspiration for the design and construction of superior layered anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted significant attention for their outstanding optoelectrical properties. Unlike most TMDs with layer-dependent photoresponsivity, rhenium disulfide (ReS2) shows excellent thickness-independent photoresponsivity. Herein, we show a surfactant-free polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-assisted exfoliation method for 2D-TMDs in aqueous solution and a transparent photosensitive memristor synapse device based on ReS2 nanosheets composited with PVA. ReS2 nanosheets are obtained via PVA-assisted exfoliation. After exfoliation, the ReS2-PVA dispersion solution is spin-coated on a substrate and dried to form a nanocomposite film without additional processing. Transparent memristors are then fabricated on plastic or glass substrates to demonstrate the applicability of the ReS2-PVA film. The devices show "write once, read many" memory behavior with a high ON/OFF current ratio (1.0 × 104 at 0.5 V) during electrical operation. In the high resistive state, synaptic functions with long-term memory behavior are successfully mimicked by applying photonic stimuli to the transparent ReS2-PVA memristors. The excitatory postsynaptic current stimulated by the photosignal is gradually reduced by electric stimuli. The proposed PVA-assisted exfoliation method is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and applicable to various TMD nanomaterials. Furthermore, the ReS2-PVA nanocomposite film obtained via a simple solution-based process demonstrates excellent photosynaptic behavior.

Abstract
Nanozyme, a kind of nanomaterials with enzymatic activity, has been developing vigorously over the past years owing to its advantages such as low-cost, easy storage, ease of use in harsh environments and so on, compared with natural enzymes. At present, as a typical two-dimensional nanomaterial, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and their hybrids with unexpected enzyme-like activities have caused wide attention. In this review, we mainly investigated the enzyme-like activities of MoS2 based nanomaterials, including peroxidase-like activity, catalase-like activity and superoxide dismutase-like activity. Furthermore, we systematically introduce recent research progress of MoS2 based nanomaterials in the fields of biological applications such as radiation protection, cancer therapy, antibacterial, and wound healing. Finally, the current challenges and perspectives of MoS2 based nanomaterials in the future are also discussed and proposed. We expect this review may be significant to understand the properties of MoS2 based nanomaterials and the development of two-dimensional nanomaterials with enzyme mimicking activities.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, two-dimensional (2D) materials have been studied and exploited for many applications. In many cases, 2D materials are formed by the exfoliation of layered crystals such as transition-metal disulfides. However, it has recently become clear that it is possible to exfoliate nonlayered materials so long as they have a nonisotropic bonding arrangement. Here, we report the synthesis of 2D-platelets from the earth-abundant, nonlayered metal sulfide, iron pyrite (FeS2), using liquid-phase exfoliation. The resultant 2D platelets exhibit the same crystal structure as bulk pyrite but are surface passivated with a density of 14 × 1018 groups/m2. They form stable suspensions in common solvents and can be size-selected and liquid processed. Although the platelets have relatively low aspect ratios (∼5), this is in line with the anisotropic cleavage energy of bulk FeS2. We observe size-dependent changes to optical properties leading to spectroscopic metrics that can be used to estimate the dimensions of platelets. These platelets can be used to produce lithium ion battery anodes with capacities approaching 1000 mAh/g.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides hold great potential in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Their electrochemical properties are closely related to the structural evolutions during lithium-ion migration. Understanding these migration/reaction mechanisms is important to help improve battery performance. Herein, we report the real-time and atomic-scale observation of phase transitions during the lithiation and delithiation for V5S8 via in situ electron diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques. We find that the phase transformation proceeds via a sequence of order to antisite disorder intercalation and topotactic-based conversion reaction. During the intercalation reaction, the lithium ion destroys the orderings of the interstitial V with the formation of Li/V antisite. Such a reaction is found to be reversible, i.e., the extraction of lithium from LixV5S8 leads to the recovery of V orderings. The conversion reaction involves heterogeneous nucleation of Li2S with 3-20 nm nanodomains, which maintain the crystallographic integrity with LixV5S8. These findings elucidate the complex interactions between the lithium ion and host V5S8 during ionic migration in solids, which should be helpful in understanding the relationship between phase transformation kinetics and battery performance.

Abstract
Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its low cost and high theoretical specific capacity. However, poor stability and a complex preparation process limit its large-scale application. Herein, we prepare a binder-free composite electrode composed of amorphous (α-) Sb2S3 and copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS2) through a simple closed-space sublimation (CSS) method. When applied as the anode in sodium-ion batteries, the α-Sb2S3@CuSbS2 electrode exhibits excellent performance with a high discharge capacity of 506.7 mA h g−1 at a current density of 50 mA g−1 after 50 cycles. The satisfactory electrochemical performance could be ascribed to the α-Sb2S3–CuSbS2 composite structure and binder-free electrode architecture, which not only retain the structural stability of the electrode but also improve the electrical conductivity. Consequently, CSS, as a scalable and environmentally friendly method, can produce a binder-free electrode in just a few minutes, demonstrating its great potential in the industrial production of sodium-ion batteries. This study may open an avenue to preparing binder-free commercial electrodes. Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its low cost and high theoretical specific capacity.![]()

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2020; 16:e2001265. [PMID: 32431059 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202001265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The design and construction of flexible electrodes that can function at high rates and high areal capacities are essential regarding the practical application of flexible sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and other energy storage devices, which remains significantly challenging by far. Herein, a flexible and 3D porous graphene nanosheet/SnS2 (3D-GNS/SnS2 ) film is reported as a high-performance SIB electrode. In this hybrid film, the GNS/SnS2 microblocks serve as pillars to assemble into a 3D porous and interconnected framework, enabling fast electron/ion transport; while the GNS bridges the GNS/SnS2 microblocks into a flexible framework to provide satisfactorily mechanical strength and long-range conductivity. Moreover, the SnS2 nanocrystals, which chemically bond with GNS, provide sufficient active sites for Na storage and ensure the cycling stability. Consequently, this flexible 3D-GNS/SnS2 film exhibits excellent Na-storage performances, especially in terms of high areal capacity (2.45 mAh cm-2 ) and high rates with superior stability (385 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 over 1000 cycles with ≈100% retention). A flexible SIB full cell using this anode exhibits high and stable performance under various bending situations. Thus, this work provide a feasible route to prepare flexible electrodes with high practical viability for not only SIBs but also other energy storage devices.

Abstract
Structural modulation endows electrochemical hybrids with promising energy storage properties owing to their adjustable interfacial and/or electronic characteristics. For MXene-based materials, however, the facile but effective strategies for tuning their structural properties at nanoscale are still lacking. Herein, 3D crumpled S-functionalized Ti3 C2 Tx substrate is rationally integrated with Fe3 O4 /FeS heterostructures via coprecipitation and subsequent partial sulfurization to induce a highly active and stable electrode architecture. The unique heterostructures with tuned electronic properties can induce improved kinetics and structural stability. The surface engineering by S terminations on the MXene further unlocks extra (pseudo)capacitive lithium storage. Serving as anode for lithium storage, the optimized electrode delivers an excellent long-term cycling stability (913.9 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1 ) and superior rate capability (490.4 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 ). Moreover, the (de)lithiation pathways associated with energy storage mechanisms are further revealed by operando X-ray diffraction, in situ electroanalytical techniques, and first-principles calculations. The hybrid electrode is proved to undergo stepwise phase transformations during discharging but a relatively uniform reconversion during charging, suggesting an asymmetric conversion mechanism. This work provides a novel strategy for designing high-performance hybrids and paves the way for in-depth understanding of complex lithium intercalation and conversion reactions.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials show great potential for use in battery electrodes and are believed to be particularly promising for high-rate applications. However, there does not seem to be much hard evidence for the superior rate performance of 2D materials compared to non-2D materials. To examine this point, we have analyzed published rate-performance data for a wide range of 2D materials as well as non-2D materials for comparison. For each capacity-rate curve, we extract parameters that quantify performance which can then be analyzed using a simple mechanistic model. Contrary to expectations, by comparing a previously proposed figure of merit, we find 2D-based electrodes to be on average ∼40 times poorer in terms of rate performance than non-2D materials. This is not due to differences in solid-state diffusion times which were similarly distributed for 2D and non-2D materials. In fact, we found the main difference between 2D and non-2D materials is that ion mobility within the electrolyte-filled pores of the electrodes is significantly lower for 2D materials, a situation which we attribute to their high aspect ratios.

Abstract
With the increase of device requirements, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are facing tremendous challenges in large-scale applications due to the high price and gradual shortage of lithium sources. In contrast, multivalent ion batteries, such as aluminum, magnesium, and zinc, are promising candidates for the next-generation energy-storage systems because of their high volumetric energy density, safe operation, and abundant reserves. The strong intercalation between multivalent ions and the host materials, however, will cause lower ion-diffusion kinetics and a poor discharge capacity. One of the main challenges is to search for a suitable cathode material with a high capacity and good structural stability to overcome the abovementioned problems. Two-dimensional layered materials, with characteristic unique structural features, good conductivity, and high electrochemically active surface, have attracted attention from researchers during the past decade. In this review, the design approach and synthetic procedures for the preparation of two-dimensional materials as cathodes for multivalent ion batteries, including interlayer engineering, two-dimensional heterostructures, pore/hole engineering, and heteroatom doping, are summarized. Meanwhile, the relationship between the design configuration and optimized electrochemical performance is rationally and systematically presented. Additionally, perspectives for the sustainable synthesis of cathode materials are proposed for multivalent metal-ion chemistry.

Abstract
Hybrid materials, integrating the merits of individual components, are ideal structures for efficient sodium storage. However, the construction of hybrid structures with decent physical/electrochemical properties is still challenging. Now, the elaborate design and synthesis of hierarchical nanoboxes composed of three-layered Cu2 S@carbon@MoS2 as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries is reported. Through a facile multistep template-engaged strategy, ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets are grown on nitrogen-doped carbon-coated Cu2 S nanoboxes to realize the Cu2 S@carbon@MoS2 configuration. The design shortens the diffusion path of electrons/Na+ ions, accommodates the volume change of electrodes during cycling, enhances the electric conductivity of the hybrids, and offers abundant active sites for sodium uptake. By virtue of these advantages, these three-layered Cu2 S@carbon@MoS2 hierarchical nanoboxes show excellent electrochemical properties in terms of decent rate capability and stable cycle life.

Abstract
3D electrode design is normally opted for multiple advantages, however, instability/detachment of active material causes the pulverization and degradation of the structure, and ultimately poor cyclic stability. Here, a dually protected, highly compressible, and freestanding anode is presented for sodium-ion batteries, where 3D carbon nanotube (CNT) sponge is decorated with homogeneously dispersed CoSe2 nanoparticles (NPs) which are protected under carbon overcoat (CNT/CoSe2/C). The 3D CNT sponge delivers enough space for high mass loading while providing high mechanical strength and faster conduction pathway among the NPs. The outer amorphous carbon overcoat controls the formation of solid electrolyte interphase film by avoiding direct contact of CoSe2 with electrolyte, accommodates large volume changes, and ultimately enhances the overall conductivity of cell and assists in transmitting electron to an external circuit. Moreover, the hybrid can be densified up to 11-fold without affecting its microstructure that results in ultrahigh areal mass loading of 17.4 mg cm-2 and an areal capacity of 7.03 mAh cm-2 along with a high gravimetric capacity of 531 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1. Thus, compact and smart devices can be realized by this new electrode design for heavy-duty commercial applications.

Abstract
Conversion-type anode materials for sodium ion batteries have received extensive attention because of their relatively high theoretical capacity. However, multiple challenging obstacles stand in the way of their commercial application, especially their poor cycling stability resulting from the bad reversibility of the conversion reaction. Herein, Ni-Co bimetal sulfide was selected and investigated with the goal of improving the reversibility of the conversion reaction owing to the similarity of Ni and Co. As expected, when three-dimensional hierarchical Ni@NiCo2S4 (NiCo2S4 nanowires growing on the Ni foam) was applied as the free-standing anode for sodium ion batteries, it demonstrated high capacity and excellent cycling stability (90.65%, 100 cycles) compared with those of monometallic sulfides. Various characterization [in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), ex situ XRD, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FESEM mapping, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy] tests confirmed that the Ni-Co alloy was formed during the discharge process and effectively prevented the crystalline grain growth of conversion reaction products, improving the reaction kinetics and reversibility.

Abstract
The rational design and synthesis of MoS2-based electrocatalysts with desirable active sites for the hydrogen evolution reaction have been actively pursued. Herein, we demonstrate a microwave-assisted steam heating method for the rapid and efficient synthesis of lamellar MoS2-based materials with favorable exposed active edge sites. Based on this new strategy, we have further separately introduced reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), two typical carbon allotropes widely used to boost the electrocatalytic activity of MoS2, to comparatively assess the support interactions and their effects on the electrocatalytic activity of MoS2. It was found that as compared to rGO, the CNTs afford favorable support interactions, which not only benefit to suppress the oriented in-plane growth of MoS2 to maximize the exposed edge sites but also ensure the maintainence of their intrinsic activity, thereby synergistically facilitating the exertion of the potential of MoS2 for HER. Our work conceptually highlights the importance of the support interactions for taming the active edge sites of MoS2 and is expected to inspire the rational design of layered metal dichalcogenide-based electrocatalysts with favorable active edges for HER.

Abstract
Both metallic 1T MoS2 and conductive molybdate compounds exhibit interesting electrochemical properties, however, the properties of composite electrodes based on these materials have not been investigated. Here, 1T MoS2 single crystal nanosheets and NiMoO4 single crystal nanowires are synthesized and formed into a carbon-free composite lithium-ion anode using blade- and spray-coating. The composite anodes deliver charge mass specific capacity of 940.1 mAh g-1, while the discharge mass specific capacity is up to 941.6 mAh g-1, with a capacity retention ratio of 84.2% after 750 cycles. The charge and discharge volumetric capacity (porosity of 15.6%, full electrode basis, excluding the current collector) are 1238.7 mAh cm-3 and 1240 mAh cm-3, respectively, and the active materials volume fraction is 82.5%. These capacities significantly exceed that of single 1T MoS2 or single NiMoO4 anodes we reported. We calculate if matched vs a cathode with an average discharge voltage of 4.0 V the gravimetric energy density of the composite electrodes would be 3389.8 Wh kg-1. Electrochemical measurements indicate that the composite electrode has excellent electrochemical reversibility, suggesting that the structure has played a crucial role in the cycling process.

Abstract
Hybrid structures assembled by van der Waals (vdW) interactions greatly expand the conventional material platforms, as there is no constraint of lattice matching in the materials design. However, a general challenge lies in the controllable assembly of 1D-2D hybrids with strong-coupled interfaces, because the interaction area is very small and is easily disturbed by exotic molecules. Here, we report the direct construction of 1D carbon nanotube-2D MoS2 monolayer hybrids with strong interfacial coupling using a sequential chemical vapour deposition growth method. The strong mechanical and electronic couplings between the nanotubes and MoS2 are unambiguously illustrated from the Raman-mode frequency shift and ultrafast interfacial charge transfer (∼100 fs). The findings in this work will boost the mass fabrication of 1D-2D vdW hybrid materials with controllable interfacial geometry and coupling strength, and pave the way for their future applications in electronics, optoelectronics and photovoltaics.

Abstract
Aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are regarded as promising candidates for post-lithium-ion batteries due to their lack of flammability and electrochemical performance comparable to other metal-ion batteries. The lack of suitable cathode materials, however, has hindered the development of high-performing AIBs. Sulfur is a cost-efficient material, having distinguished electrochemical properties, and is considered an attractive cathode material for AIBs. Several pioneering reports have shown that aluminum-sulfur batteries (ASBs) exhibit superior electrochemical capacity over other cathode materials for AIBs. However, a rapid decay in the capacity is a huge barrier for their practical applications. Here, we have demonstrated systematically for the first time that the two-dimensional layered materials (e.g. MoS2, WS2, and BN) can serve as fixers of S and sulfide compounds during repeated charge/discharge processes; BN/S/C displays the highest capacity of 532 mAh g-1 (at a current density of 100 mA g-1) compared with the current state-of-the-art cathode material for AIBs. Further, we could improve the life-span of ASBs to an unprecedented 300 cycles with a high Coulombic efficiency of 94.3%; discharge plateaus at ~1.15 V vs. AlCl4-/Al was clearly observed during repeated charge/discharge cycling. We believe that this work opens up a new method for achieving high-performing ASBs.

Abstract
Long-term stability and high-rate capability have been the major challenges of sodium-ion batteries. Layered electroactive materials with mechanically robust, chemically stable, electrically and ironically conductive networks can effectively address these issues. Herein we have successfully directed carbon nanofibers to vertically penetrate through graphene sheets, constructing robust carbon nanofiber interpenetrated graphene architecture. Molybdenum disulfide nanoflakes are then grown in situ alongside the entire framework, yielding molybdenum disulfide@carbon nanofiber interpenetrated graphene structure. In such a design, carbon nanofibers prevent the restacking of graphene sheets and provide ample space between graphene sheets, enabling a strong structure that maintains exceptional mechanical integrity and excellent electrical conductivity. The as-prepared sodium ion battery delivers outstanding electrochemical performance and ultrahigh stability, achieving a remarkable specific capacity of 598 mAh g−1, long-term cycling stability up to 1000 cycles, and an excellent rate performance even at a high current density up to 10 A g−1. Here the authors construct carbon nanofiber interpenetrated graphene architecture with in-situ grown MoS2 nanoflakes alongside the framework. The design combines exceptional mechanical integrity and excellent electronic conductivity, enabling outstanding electrochemical performance in sodium-ion battery.
