Abstract
Li-ion-based electric field control has been attracting significant attention, since it is able to penetrate deep into materials to exhibit diverse and controllable electrochemical processes, which offer more degrees of freedom to design multifunctional devices with low power consumption. As opposed to previous studies that mainly focused on single lithiation/delithiation mechanisms, we reveal three Li-ion modulation mechanisms in the same NiFe2O4 spinel ferrite by in situ magnetometry, i.e., intercalation, conversion, and space charge, which are respectively demonstrated in high, medium, and low voltage range. During the intercalation stage, the spinel structure is preserved, and a reversible modulation of magnetization arises from the charge transfer-induced variation of Fe valence states (Fe2+/Fe3+). Conversion-driven change in magnetization is the largest up to 89 emu g-1, due to the structural and magnetic phase transitions. Although both intercalation and conversion exhibit sluggish kinetics and long response times, the space charge manifests a faster switching speed and superior durability due to its interface electrostatic effect. These results not only provide a clear and comprehensive understanding on Li-based modulation mechanisms but also facilitate multifunctional and multiscenario applications, such as multistate memory, micromagnetic actuation, artificial synapse, and energy storage.

Abstract
The ferric trichloride (FeCl3)-intercalated graphite intercalation compound (GIC) has high reversible capacity and bulk density, making it a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries. However, its practical application has been limited by the poor cycle performance due to chloride dissolution and shuttling issues. Herein, FeCl3-GIC is used as the precursor material to synthesize a nano-Fe3O4-modified intercalation material by a solvothermal method. The Fe3O4 moiety at the edge of FeCl3-GIC provides a robust chemical anchoring effect on the chlorides. Together with the two-dimensional graphite layer, it forms a confinement space, which effectively immobilizes soluble chlorides. Attributed to the distinctive structural design, the Fe3O4-FeCl3/GIC 25% C electrode offers a high reversible capacity of 691.4 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 after 400 cycles. At 2000 and 5000 mA g-1, the reversible specific capacity of the Fe3O4-FeCl3/GIC 25% C electrode is 345.6 and 218.3 mA h g-1, respectively. This work presents an innovative method to improve the lifespan of GIC.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries with fast-charging/discharging properties are urgently needed for the mass adoption of electric vehicles. Here, we show that fast charging/discharging, long-term stable and high energy charge-storage properties can be realized in an artificial electrode made from a mixed electronic/ionic conductor material (Fe/LixM, where M = O, F, S, N) enabled by a space charge principle. Particularly, the Fe/Li2O electrode is able to be charged/discharged to 126 mAh g-1 in 6 s at a high current density of up to 50 A g-1, and it also shows stable cycling performance for 30,000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1, with a mass-loading of ~2.5 mg cm-2 of the electrode materials. This study demonstrates the critical role of the space charge storage mechanism in advancing electrochemical energy storage and provides an unconventional perspective for designing high-performance anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Batteries with intercalation-conversion-type electrodes tend to achieve high-capacity storage, but the complicated reaction process often suffers from confusing electrochemical mechanisms. Here, we reinterpreted the essential issue about the potential of the conversion reaction and whether there is an intercalation reaction in a lithium/sodium-ion battery (LIB/SIB) with the FeP anode based on the evolution of the magnetic phase. Especially, the ever-present intercalation process in a large voltage range followed by the conversion reaction with extremely low potential was confirmed in FeP LIB, while it is mainly the conversion reaction for the sodium storage mechanism in FeP SIB. The insufficient conversion reaction profoundly limits the actual capacity to the expectedly respectable value. Accordingly, a graphene oxide modification strategy was proposed to increase the reversible capacity of FeP LIB/SIB by 99% and 132%, respectively. The results facilitate the development of anode materials with a high capacity and low operating potential.

Abstract
Flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) are intensively studied using free-standing transition metal oxides (TMOs)-based anode materials. However, achieving high areal capacity TMO-based anode materials is yet to be effectively elucidated owing to the poor adhesion of the active materials to the flexible substrate resulting in low active mass loading, and hence low areal capacity is realized. Herein, a novel monolithic rutile TiO2 microparticles on carbon cloth (ATO/CC) that facilitate the flower-like arrangement of TiO2 nanowires (denoted ATO/CC/OTO) is demonstrated as high areal capacity anode for FLIBs. The optimized ATO/CC/OTO anode exhibits high areal capacity (5.02 mAh cm-2@0.4 mA cm-2) excellent rate capability (1.17 mAh cm-2@5.0 mA cm-2) and remarkable cyclic stability (over 500 cycles). A series of morphological, kinetic, electrochemical, in situ Raman, and theoretical analyses reveal that the rational phase boundaries between the microparticles and nanowires contribute to promoting the Li storage activity. Furthermore, a 16.0 cm2 all-FLIB pouch cell assembled based on the ATO/CC/OTO anode and LiNiCoMnO2 cathode coated on ATO/CC (ATO/CC/LNCM) exhibits impressive flexibility under different folding conditions, creating opportunity for the development of high areal capacity anodes in future flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
Due to their high potential energy storage, magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have become appealing as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. However, the details of the lithiation process are still not completely understood. Here, we investigate chemical lithiation in 70 nm cubic-shaped magnetite nanoparticles with varying degrees of lithiation, x = 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5. The induced changes in the structural and magnetic properties were investigated using X-ray techniques along with electron microscopy and magnetic measurements. The results indicate that a structural transformation from spinel to rock salt phase occurs above a critical limit for the lithium concentration (xc), which is determined to be between 0.5< xc ≤ 1 for Fe3-δO4. Diffraction and magnetization measurements clearly show the formation of the antiferromagnetic LiFeO2 phase. Upon lithiation, magnetization measurements reveal an exchange bias in the hysteresis loops with an asymmetry, which can be attributed to the formation of mosaic-like LiFeO2 subdomains. The combined characterization techniques enabled us to unambiguously identify the phases and their distributions involved in the lithiation process. Correlating magnetic and structural properties opens the path to increasing the understanding of the processes involved in a variety of nonmagnetic applications of magnetic materials.

Abstract
Li3V2(PO4)3 cathodes for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method with the subsequent annealing in an argon atmosphere to achieve optimal properties. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the material's single-phase nature, while the scanning electron microscopy revealed a granular structure, indicating a uniform particle size distribution, beneficial for electrochemical performance. Magnetometry and electron spin resonance studies were conducted to investigate the magnetic properties, confirming the presence of the relatively low concentration and highly uniform distribution of tetravalent vanadium ions (V4+), which indicated low lithium deficiency values in the original structure and a high degree of magnetic homogeneity in the sample, an essential factor for consistent electrochemical behavior. For this pure phase Li3V2(PO4)3 sample, devoid of any impurities such as carbon or salts, extensive electrochemical property testing was performed. These tests resulted in the experimental discovery of a remarkably high lithium diffusion coefficient D = 1.07 × 10-10 cm2/s, indicating excellent ionic conductivity, and demonstrated impressive stability of the material with sustained performance over 1000 charge-discharge cycles. Additionally, relithiated Li3V2(PO4)3 (after multiple electrochemical cycling) samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, magnetometry and electron spin resonance methods to determine the extent of degradation. The combination of high lithium diffusion coefficients, a low degradation rate and remarkable cycling stability positions this Li3V2(PO4)3 material as a promising candidate for advanced energy storage applications.

Abstract
Transition metals and related compounds are known to exhibit high catalytic activities in various electrochemical reactions thanks to their intriguing electronic structures. What is lesser known is their unique role in storing and transferring electrons in battery electrodes which undergo additional solid-state conversion reactions and exhibit substantially large extra capacities. Here, a full dynamic picture depicting the generation and evolution of electrochemical interfaces in the presence of metallic nanoparticles is revealed in a model CoCO3/Li battery via an in situ magnetometry technique. Beyond the conventional reduction to a Li2CO3/Co mixture under battery operation, further decomposition of Li2CO3 is realized by releasing interfacially stored electrons from its adjacent Co nanoparticles, whose subtle variation in the electronic structure during this charge transfer process has been monitored in real time. The findings in this work may not only inspire future development of advanced electrode materials for next-generation energy storage devices but also open up opportunities in achieving in situ monitoring of important electrocatalytic processes in many energy conversion and storage systems.

Abstract
Fe3 O4 is widely investigated as an anode for ambient sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), but its electrochemical properties in the wide operation-temperature range have rarely been studied. Herein, the Fe3 O4 nanoparticles, which are well encapsulated by carbon nanolayers, are uniformly dispersed on the graphene basal plane (named Fe3 O4 /C@G) to be used as the anode for SIBs. The existence of graphene can reduce the size of Fe3 O4 /C nanoparticles from 150 to 80 nm and greatly boost charge transport capability of electrode, resulting in an obvious size decrease of superparamagnetic Fe nanoparticles generated from the conversion reaction from 5 to 2 nm. Importantly, the ultra-small superparamagnetic Fe nanoparticles (≈2 nm) can induce a strong spin-polarized surface capacitance effect at operating temperatures ranging from -40 to 60 °C, thus achieving highly efficient Na-ion transport and storage in a wide operation-temperature range. Consequently, the Fe3 O4 /C@G anode shows high capacity, excellent fast-charging capability, and cycling stability ranging from -40 to 60 °C in half/full cells. This work demonstrates the viability of Fe3 O4 as anode for wide operation-temperature SIBs and reveals that spin-polarized surface capacitance effects can promote Na-ion storage over a wide operation temperature range.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their intrinsic advantages. However, Zn tends to deposit irregularly and forms dendrites driven by the uneven space electric field distribution near the Zn-electrolyte interphase. Herein it is demonstrated that trace addition of Co single atom anchored carbon (denoted as CoSA/C) in the electrolyte regulates the microspace electric field at the Zn-electrolyte interphase and unifies Zn deposition. Through preferential adsorption of CoSA/C on the Zn surface, the atomically dispersed Co-N3 with strong charge polarization effect can redistribute the local space electric field and regulate ion flux. Moreover, the dynamic adsorption/desorption of CoSA/C upon plating/stripping offers sustainable long-term regulation. Therefore, Zn||Zn symmetric cells with CoSA/C electrolyte additive deliver stable cycling up to 1600 h (corresponding to a cumulative plated capacity of 8 Ah cm-2 ) at a high current density of 10 mA cm-2 , demonstrating the sustainable feature of microspace electric field regulation at high current density and capacity.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides have been extensively studied due to their large theoretical capacities, but their practical application has been hampered by low electrical conductivity and dramatic volume fluctuation during cycling. In this work, we synthesized Zn3V2O8 material using Zn-V-MOF (metal-organic framework) as a sacrificial template to improve the electrochemical characteristics of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Unique dodecahedral structure, larger specific surface area and higher ability to mitigate volume changes, improve the electrochemical reaction active site while accelerating ion transport. Zn3V2O8 with 2-methylimidazole as a ligand demonstrated a discharge capacity of 1225.9 mAh/g in LIBs and 761.6 mAh/g in SIBs after 300 cycles at 0.2 C. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation illustrates the smaller diffusion barrier energy and higher specific capacity in LIBs that is ascribed to the fact that Li has a smaller size and hence its diffusion is easier. This study may lead to a path for the manufacturing of high-performance LIBs and SIBs.

Abstract
Interfacial catalysis occurs ubiquitously in electrochemical systems, such as batteries, fuel cells, and photocatalytic devices. Frequently, in such a system, the electrode material evolves dynamically at different operating voltages, and this electrochemically driven transformation usually dictates the catalytic reactivity of the material and ultimately the electrochemical performance of the device. Despite the importance of the process, comprehension of the underlying structural and compositional evolutions of the electrode material with direct visualization and quantification is still a significant challenge. In this work, we demonstrate a protocol for studying the dynamic evolution of the electrode material under electrochemical processes by integrating microscopic and spectroscopic analyses, operando magnetometry techniques, and density functional theory calculations. The presented methodology provides a real-time picture of the chemical, physical, and electronic structures of the material and its link to the electrochemical performance. Using Co(OH)2 as a prototype battery electrode and by monitoring the Co metal center under different applied voltages, we show that before a well-known catalytic reaction proceeds, an interfacial storage process occurs at the metallic Co nanoparticles/LiOH interface due to injection of spin-polarized electrons. Subsequently, the metallic Co nanoparticles act as catalytic activation centers and promote LiOH decomposition by transferring these interfacially residing electrons. Most intriguingly, at the LiOH decomposition potential, electronic structure of the metallic Co nanoparticles involving spin-polarized electrons transfer has been shown to exhibit a dynamic variation. This work illustrates a viable approach to access key information inside interfacial catalytic processes and provides useful insights in controlling complex interfaces for wide-ranging electrochemical systems.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has garnered attention as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity and unique lamellar texture. Nevertheless, unmodified MoS2 suffers from inferior electrical conductivity, poor reaction reversibility, and suboptimal cycle life upon repeated sodiation/desodiation. In this study, a novel carbon-free V-heteroatom doping MoS2 composite (abbr. VMS) with hierarchical laurustinus-like structure was synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal process. Specifically, the rational doping of V-atoms can effectively modulate the intrinsic electronic structure of pure MoS2, resulting in enhanced Na-ion diffusion rate, improved reaction kinetics and reduced activation energy compared to bare MoS2. Additionally, the hierarchical structure of the VMS composite, with sufficient spacing, effectively mitigates mechanical stress and ensures the integrity of active materials. Consequently, the prepared VMS composite possesses exceptional reaction reversibility (average ICE value of 92 %) and remarkable capacity retention (92.1 % after 450 cycles at 10 A/g). These findings contribute valuable insights into the development of advanced MoS2-based anode for sodium ion batteries.

Abstract
Multi-shell transition metal oxide hollow spheres show great potential for applications in energy storage because of their unique multilayered hollow structure with large specific surface area, short electron and charge transport paths, and structural stability. In this paper, the controlled synthesis of NiCo2O4, MnCo2O4, NiMn2O4multi-shell layer structures was achieved by using the solvothermal method. As the anode materials for Li-ion batteries, the three multi-shell structures maintained good stability after 650 long cycles in the cyclic charge/discharge test. Thein situtransmisssion electron microscope characterization combined with cyclic voltammetry tests demonstrated that the three anode materials NiCo2O4, MnCo2O4and NiMn2O4have similar charge/discharge transition mechanisms, and the multi-shell structure can effectively buffer the volume expansion and structural collapse during lithium embedding/delithiation to ensure the stability of the electrode structure and cycling performance. The research results can provide effective guidance for the synathesis and charging/discharging mechanism of multi-shell metal oxide lithium-ion battery anode materials.

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
The solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) plays a critical role in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of its important influence on electrochemical performance, such as cycle stability, coulombic efficiency, etc. Although LiOH has been recognized as a key component of the SEI, its influence on the SEI and electrochemical performance has not been well clarified due to the difficulty in precisely controlling the LiOH content and characterize the detailed interface reactions. Here, a gradual change of LiOH content is realized by different reduction schemes among Co(OH)2, CoOOH and CoO. With reduced Co nanoparticles as magnetic "probes", SEI characterization is achieved by operando magnetometry. By combining comprehensive characterization and theoretical calculations, it is verified that LiOH leads to a composition transformation from lithium ethylene di-carbonate (LEDC) to lithium ethylene mono-carbonate (LEMC) in the SEI and ultimately results in capacity decay. This work unfolds the detailed SEI reaction scenario involving LiOH, provides new insights into the influence of SEI composition, and has value for the co-development between the electrode materials and electrolyte.

Abstract
Na3 (VO)2 (PO4 )2 F (NVOPF) has emerged as one of the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) attributed to its high specific capacity (130 mAh g-1 ), high operation voltage (>3.9 V vs Na+ /Na), and excellent structural stability (<2% volume change). However, the comparatively low intrinsic electronic conductivity (≈10-7 S cm-1 ) of NVOPF leads to unsatisfactory electrochemical performance, especially at high rates, limiting its practical applications. To improve the conductivity and enhance Na storage performance, many efforts have been devoted to designing NVOPF, including morphology optimization, hybridization with conductive materials, metal-ion doping, Na-site regulation, and F/O ratio adjustment. These attempts have shown some encouraging achievements and shed light on the practical application of NVOPF cathodes. This work aims to provide a general introduction, synthetic methods, and rational design of NVOPF to give a deeper understanding of the recent progress. Additionally, the unique microstructure of NVOPF and its relationship with Na storage properties are also described in detail. The current status, as well as the advances and limitations of such SIB cathode material, are reported. Finally, future perspectives and guidance for advancing high-performance NVOPF cathodes toward practical applications are presented.

Abstract
The volume expansion of CoFe2 O4 anode poses a significant challenge in the commercial application of lithium/sodium-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs). However, metal-organic-frameworks (MOF) offer superior construction of heterostructures with refined interfacial interactions and lower ion diffusion barriers in Li/Na storage. In this study, the CoFe2 O4 @carbon nanofibers derived from MOF are produced through electrospinning, in situ growth followed by calcination, which are then confined within an MXene-confined MOF-derived porous CoFe2 O4 @carbon composite architecture under alkali treatment. The CoFe2 O4 nanofibers anchor on the alkalized MXene that is decorated with the NaOH solution to form a multi-pleated structure. The sandwich-like structure of the composite effectively alleviates the volume expansion and shortens the Li/Na-ion diffusion path, which displays high capacity and outstanding rate performance as anode materials for LIBs/SIBs. As a consequence, the obtained CoFe2 O4 @carbon@alkalized MXene composite anode shows satisfied rate performance at current density of 10 A g-1 for LIBs (318 mAh·g-1 ) and 5 A g-1 for SIBs (149 mAh g-1 ). The excellent cycling performance is further demonstrated at a high current density, where it maintains a discharge capacity of 807 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 400 cycles for LIBs and 130 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 even after 1000 cycles for SIBs.

Abstract
Metallic-phase iron sulfide (e.g., Fe7 S8 ) is a promising candidate for high power density sodium storage anode due to the inherent metal electronic conductivity and unhindered sodium-ion diffusion kinetics. Nevertheless, long-cycle stability can not be achieved simultaneously while designing a fast-charging Fe7 S8 -based anode. Herein, Fe7 S8 encapsulated in carbon-sulfur bonds doped hollow carbon fibers (NHCFs-S-Fe7 S8 ) is designed and synthesized for sodium-ion storage. The NHCFs-S-Fe7 S8 including metallic-phase Fe7 S8 embrace higher electron specific conductivity, electrochemical reversibility, and fast sodium-ion diffusion. Moreover, the carbonaceous fibers with polar CSFe bonds of NHCFs-S-Fe7 S8 exhibit a fixed confinement effect for electrochemical conversion intermediates contributing to long cycle life. In conclusion, combined with theoretical study and experimental analysis, the multinomial optimized NHCFs-S-Fe7 S8 is demonstrated to integrate a suitable structure for higher capacity, fast charging, and longer cycle life. The full cell shows a power density of 1639.6 W kg-1 and an energy density of 204.5 Wh kg-1 , respectively, over 120 long cycles of stability at 1.1 A g-1 . The underlying mechanism of metal sulfide structure engineering is revealed by in-depth analysis, which provides constructive guidance for designing the next generation of durable high-power density sodium storage anodes.

Abstract
The conventional Li-ion battery composite electrode material composed of CuO and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) suffer from poor contact between CuO and CNTs. This results in high electrode resistance and poor electrochemical performance. To solve this problem, CuO@humic acid (HA) @CNT anode material with cross-linked network structure was generated by linking CuO and CNT with HA as a coupling agent. For comparison, CuO@HA or CuO@CNT were also prepared in the absence of CNT or HA, respectively. The results showed that CuO@HA@CNT had lower charge transfer resistance, higher conductivity, lithium-ion diffusion coefficient, specific capacity, and rate capability than CuO@HA and CuO@CNT. The specific capacity of the CuO@HA@CNT electrode was significantly better than that of the composite electrode materials of CuO and CNT, which have been prepared by scientists using various methods. Due to the introduction of HA, not only was the uniformly distributed flower-like CuO obtained, but also the specific capacity and rate capability of the electrode material were substantially improved. This study thus provides a good strategy to optimize the capability of transition metal oxide lithium-ion anode materials.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted more and more attention as viable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the deficiency and uneven distribution of lithium resources. However, it is shown that potassium storage in some compounds through reaction or intercalation mechanisms cannot effectively improve the capacity and stability of anodes for PIBs. The unique anti-spinel structure of magnetite (Fe3 O4 ) is densely packed with thirty-two O atoms to form a face-centered cubic (fcc) unit cell with tetrahedral/octahedral vacancies in the O-closed packing structure, which can serve as K+ storage sites according to the density functional theory (DFT) calculation results. In this work, carbon-coated Fe3 O4 @C nanoparticles are prepared as high-performance anodes for PIBs, which exhibit high reversible capacity (638 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 ) and hyper stable cycling performance at ultrahigh current density (150 mAh g-1 after 9000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ). In situ XRD, ex-situ Fe K-edge XAFS, and DFT calculations confirm the storage of K+ in tetrahedral/octahedral vacancies.

Abstract
Transition metal chalcogenides as potential anodes for lithium-ion batteries have been widely investigated. For practical application, the drawbacks of low conductivity and volume expansion should be further overcome. Besides the two conventional methods of nanostructure design and the doping of carbon-based materials, the component hybridization of transition metal-based chalcogenides can effectively enhance the electrochemical performance owing to the synergetic effect. Hybridization could promote the advantages of each chalcogenide and suppress the disadvantages of each chalcogenide to some extent. In this review, we focus on the four different types of component hybridization and the excellent electrochemical performance that originated from hybridization. The exciting problems of hybridization and the possibility of studying structural hybridization were also discussed. The binary and ternary transition metal-based chalcogenides are more promising to be used as future anodes of lithium-ion batteries for their excellent electrochemical performance originating from the synergetic effect.

Abstract
Cobalt tetraoxide (Co3O4) is regarded as a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity (890 mAh g-1), simple preparation, and controllable morphology. Nanoengineering has been proven to be an effective method for producing high-performance electrode materials. However, systematic research on the influence of material dimensionality on battery performance is lacking. Herein, we prepared Co3O4 with various dimensionalities (one-dimensional (1D) Co3O4 nanorod (NR), two-dimensional (2D) Co3O4 nanosheet (NS), three-dimensional (3D) Co3O4 nanocluster (NC), and 3D Co3O4 nanoflower (NF)) using a simple solvothermal heat treatment method, and their morphologies were controlled by varying the precipitator type and solvent composition. The 1D Co3O4 NR and 3D samples (3D Co3O4 NC and 3D Co3O4 NF) exhibited poor cyclic and rate performances, respectively, while the 2D Co3O4 NS exhibited the best electrochemical performance. The mechanism analysis revealed that the cyclic stability and rate performance of the Co3O4 nanostructures are closely related to their intrinsic stability and interfacial contact performance, respectively, and the 2D thin-sheet structure can achieve an optimal balance between the two, resulting in the best performance. This work presents a comprehensive study on the effect of dimensionality on the electrochemical performance of Co3O4 anodes, providing a new concept for the nanostructure design of conversion-type materials.

Abstract
Single-layered MoS2 is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its high capacity and isotropic ion transport paths. However, the low intrinsic conductivity and easy-agglomerated feature hamper its applications. Here, a charge-driven interlayer expansion strategy that Co2+ replaces Mo4+ in the doping form to endow MoS2 layers with negative charges, thus inducing electrostatic repulsion, together with the insertion of gaseous groups, to drive interlayer expansion which once breaks the confinement of interlayer van der Waals force, single-layered MoS2 is obtained and uniformly dispersed into carbon matrix arising from the transformation of carbonaceous gaseous groups under high vapor pressure, is proposed. Co atom doping helps enhance the intrinsic conductivity of single-layered MoS2 . Carbon matrix effectively prevents agglomeration of single-layered MoS2 . The doped Co atoms can be fully transformed into ultrasmall Co nanoparticles during conversion reaction, which enables strong spin-polarized surface capacitance and thus significantly boosts ion transport and storage. Consequently, the prepared material delivers superb Li/Na/K-ion storage performances, which are best in the reported MoS2 -based anodes. The proposed charge-driven interlayer expansion strategy provides a novel perspective for preparing single-layered MoS2, which shows huge potential for energy storage.

Abstract
In lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the stabilized capacities of transition metal compound anodes usually exhibit higher values than their theoretical values due to the interfacial charge storage, the formation of reversible electrolyte-derived surface layer, or interfacial magnetization. But the effectively utilizing the mechanisms to achieve novel anodes is rarely explored. Herein, a novel nanosized cobalt ditelluride (CoTe2 ) anodes with ultra-high capacity and long term stability is reported. Electrochemical tests show that the lithium storage capacity of the best sample reaches 1194.7 mA h g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.12 A g-1 , which increases by 57.8% compared to that after 20 cycles. In addition, the sample offers capacities of 546.6 and 492.1 mA h g-1 at 0.6 and 1.8 A g-1 , respectively. During cycles, CoTe2 particles (average size 20 nm) are gradually pulverized into the smaller nanoparticles (<3 nm), making the magnetization more fully due to the larger contact area of Co/Li2 Te interface, yielding an increased capacity. The negative capacity fading is observed, and verified by ex situ structural characterizations and in situ electrochemical measurements. The proposed strategy can be further extended to obtain other high-performance ferromagnetic metal based electrodes for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Carbon-hybridized hydroxides (CHHs) have been intensively investigated for uses in the energy conversion/storage fields. Nevertheless, the intrinsic structure-activity relationships between carbon and hydroxides within CHHs are still blurry, which hinders the fine modulation of CHHs in terms of practical applications to some degree. This review aims to figure out the intrinsic role of carbon materials in CHHs with a focus on the interface chemistry and the engineering strategy in-between two components. The fundamental effects of the carbon materials in enhancing the charge/mass transfer kinetics are first analyzed, particularly the extra electron pathways for fast charge transfer and the anchoring sites for boosting the mass transfer. Subsequently, the surface-guided/confined effects of carbon materials in CHHs to modify the morphology and tailor the hydroxides, and functional heterojunction for regulating the inner electronic structure are decoupled. The methods to efficiently construct a stable yet robust solid-solid heterointerface are summarized, including oxygen functional groups engrafting, topological defective sites construction and heteroatom incorporation to activate the inert carbon surface. The smart CHHs in some typical energy applications are demonstrated. Additionally, the methodologies that can reveal the hybridization electron configuration between two components are summed up. At last, the perspective and challenges faced by the CHHs for energy-related applications are outlined.

Abstract
Highlights In-situ construction of electrostatic repulsion between MoS2 interlayers is first proposed to successfully prepare Co-doped monolayer MoS2 under high vapor pressure. The doped Co atoms radically decrease bandgap and lithium ion diffusion energy barrier of monolayer MoS2 and can be transformed into ultrasmall Co nanoparticles (~2 nm) to induce strong surface-capacitance effect during conversion reaction. The Co doped monolayer MoS2 shows ultrafast ion transport capability along with ultrahigh capacity and outstanding cycling stability as lithium-ion-battery anodes. Abstract High theoretical capacity and unique layered structures make MoS2 a promising lithium-ion battery anode material. However, the anisotropic ion transport in layered structures and the poor intrinsic conductivity of MoS2 lead to unacceptable ion transport capability. Here, we propose in-situ construction of interlayer electrostatic repulsion caused by Co2+ substituting Mo4+ between MoS2 layers, which can break the limitation of interlayer van der Waals forces to fabricate monolayer MoS2, thus establishing isotropic ion transport paths. Simultaneously, the doped Co atoms change the electronic structure of monolayer MoS2, thus improving its intrinsic conductivity. Importantly, the doped Co atoms can be converted into Co nanoparticles to create a space charge region to accelerate ion transport. Hence, the Co-doped monolayer MoS2 shows ultrafast lithium ion transport capability in half/full cells. This work presents a novel route for the preparation of monolayer MoS2 and demonstrates its potential for application in fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The rational structural design of the electrode materials is significant to enhance the electrochemical performance for potassium ion storage, benefiting from the shortened ion diffusion distance, increased conductivity, and pseudo-capacitance promotion. Herein, hydrated vanadium oxide (HVO) nanosheets with enriched oxygen defects are well confined into hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (HMCS), producing Od -VOH@C nanospheres through one-step hydrothermal reaction. Attributed to the restricted growth in the HMCS, the HVO nanosheets are loosely packed, generating abundant interfacial boundaries and large specific areas. As a result, Od -VOH@C nanospheres show increased reaction kinetics and well buffer the volume effects for the K+ storage. Od -VOH@C delivers stable capacities of 138 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 over 10 000 cycles in half-cells attributed to the high pseudo-capacitance contribution. The K+ storage mechanism of insertion and conversion reaction is confirmed by ex situ X-ray diffraction, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. Moreover, the symmetric potassium-ion capacitors of Od -VOH@C//Od -VOH@C deliver a high energy density of 139.6 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 948.3 W kg-1 .

Abstract
As a lithium-ion battery cathode material with high theoretical capacity, the application of V2O5is limited by its unstable structure and low intrinsic conductivity. In this paper, we report a Fe doped V2O5nanowire with a layered structure of 200-300 nm diameter prepared by electrostatic spinning technique. The 3Fe-V2O5electrode exhibited a superb capacity of 436.9 mAh g-1in the first cycle when tested in the voltage range of 2.0-4.0 V at current density of 100 mA g-1, far exceeding its theoretical capacity (294 mAh g-1), and the high capacity of 312 mAh g-1was still maintained after 50 cycles. The superb performance is mainly attributed to its unique layered nanowire structure and the enhanced electrical conductivity as well as optimized structure brought by Fe-doping. This work made the homogeneous doping and nanosizing of the material easily achieved through electrostatic spinning technology, leading to an increase in the initial capacity of the V2O5cathode material and the cycling stability compared to the pure V2O5, which is an extremely meaningful exploration.

Abstract
Slow Li ion diffusion kinetics and disordered migration of electrons are two most crucial obstacles to be resolved in electrode material design for higher rate capability of Li-ion batteries. Herein, the Co-doped CuS1-x with abundant high active S vacancies is proposed to accelerate the electronic and ionic diffusion during the energy conversion process, because contraction of Co-S bond can cause the expansion of atomic layer spacing, thus promoting the Li ion diffusion and directional electron migration parallel to the Cu2S2 plane, and also induce the increasing of active sites to improve the Li+ adsorption and electrocatalytic conversion kinetics. Especially, the electrocatalytic studies and plane charge density difference simulations demonstrate that electron transfer near the Co site is more frequent, which is conducive to more rapid energy conversion and storage. Those S vacancies formed by Co-S contraction in CuS1-x structure obviously increase Li ion adsorption energy in Co-doped CuS1-x to 2.21 eV, higher than the 2.1 eV for CuS1-x and 1.88 eV for CuS. Taking these advantages, the Co-doped CuS1-x as anode of Li-ion batterie shows an impressive rate capability of 1309 mAh·g-1 at 1A g-1, and long cycling stability (retaining 1064 mAh·g-1 capacity after 500 cycles). This work provides new opportunities for the design of high-performance electrode material for rechargeable metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Transition metal oxide (TMO)-based electrodes exhibit increased capacities, yet the mechanism behind the true cause of capacity in such materials remains unclear. Herein, hierarchical porous and hollow Co-CoO@NC spheres assembled by nanorods with refined nanoparticles and amorphous carbon have been synthesized by a two-step annealing approach. A temperature gradient-driven mechanism is revealed for the evolution of the hollow structure. Compared with the solid CoO@NC spheres, the novel hierarchical of Co-CoO@NC can fully utilize the interior active material by exposing both ends of each nanorod into electrolyte. The hollow interior provides extra space for the volume variation, leading to an up-trend capacity of 919.3 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 over 200 cycles. Differential capacity curves disclose that solid electrolyte interface (SEI) films reactivation partly contributes to increasing reversible capacity. The introduction of nanosized Co particles benefits the process by participating in the transformation of SEI components. This study provides a guide for constructing anodic material with exceptional electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Transition metals can deliver high lithium storage capacity, but the reason behind this remains elusive. Herein, the origin of this anomalous phenomenon is uncovered by in situ magnetometry taking metallic Co as a model system. It is revealed that the lithium storage in metallic Co undergoes a two-stage mechanism involving a spin-polarized electron injection to the 3d orbital of Co and subsequent electron transfer to the surrounding solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) at lower potentials. These effects create space charge zones for fast lithium storage on the electrode interface and boundaries with capacitive behavior. Therefore, the transition metal anode can enhance common intercalation or pseudocapacitive electrodes at high capacity while showing superior stability to existing conversion-type or alloying anodes. These findings pave the way for not only understanding the unusual lithium storage behavior of transition metals but also for engineering high-performance anodes with overall enhancement in capacity and long-term durability.

Herein, we report an ultrathin SEI (3-4 nm) induced by Cu+ -tailored double electrical layer (EDL) to suppress electrolyte consumption and enhance cycling stability of CuS anode in sodium-ion batteries. Unique EDL with SO3 CF3 -Cu complex absorbing on CuS in NaSO3 CF3 /diglyme electrolyte is demonstrated by in situ surface-enhanced Raman, Cyro-TEM and theoretical calculation, in which SO3 CF3 -Cu could be reduced to CuF2 -rich SEI. Dispersed CuF2 and F-containing compound can provide good interfacial contact for formation of ultrathin and stable SEI film to minimize electrolyte consumption and reduce activation energy of Na+ transport. As a result, the modified CuS delivers high capacity of 402.8 mAh g-1 after 7000 cycles without capacity decay. The insights of SEI construction pave a way for high-stability electrode.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art transition-based electrocatalysts in alkaline media generally suffer from unavoidable surface reconstruction during oxygen evolution reaction measurements, leading to the collapse and loss of the crystalline matrix. Low potential discharge offers a gentle way for surface reconstruction and thus realizes the manipulation of the real active site. Nevertheless, the absence of a fundamental understanding focus on this discharge region renders the functional phase, either the crystalline or amorphous matrix, for the controllable reconstruction still undecidable. Herein, we report a scenario to employ different crystalline matrices as electrocatalysts for discharge region reconstruction. The representative low crystalline Ni2P (LC-Ni2P) possesses a relatively weak surface structure compared with highly crystalline or amorphous Ni2P (HC-Ni2P or A-Ni2P), which contributes abundant oxygen vacancies after the discharge process. The fast discharge behavior of LC-Ni2P leads to the uniform distribution of these vacancies and thus endows the inner interface with reactant activating functionality. A high increase in current density of 36.7% is achieved at 2.32 V (vs RHE) for the LC-Ni2P electrode. The understanding of the discharge behavior in this study, on different crystalline matrices, presents insights into the establishment of controllable surface reconstruction for an effective oxygen evolution reaction.

Abstract
Ferromagnetic metals show great prospects in ultralow-power-consumption spintronic devices, due to their high Curie temperature and robust magnetization. However, there is still a lack of reliable solutions for giant and reversible voltage control of magnetism in ferromagnetic metal films. Here, a novel space-charge approach is proposed which allows for achieving a modulation of 30.3 emu/g under 1.3 V in Co/TiO2 multilayer granular films. The robust endurance with more than 5000 cycles is demonstrated. Similar phenomena exist in Ni/TiO2 and Fe/TiO2 multilayer granular films, which shows its universality. The magnetic change of 107% in Ni/TiO2 underlines its potential in a voltage-driven ON-OFF magnetism. Such giant and reversible voltage control of magnetism can be ascribed to space-charge effect at the ferromagnetic metals/TiO2 interfaces, in which spin-polarized electrons are injected into the ferromagnetic metal layer with the adsorption of lithium-ions on the TiO2 surface. These results open the door for a promising method to modulate the magnetization in ferromagnetic metals, paving the way toward the development of ionic-magnetic-electric coupled applications.

Synergistic activation of anionic redox via cosubstitution to construct high-capacity layered oxide cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2023; 68:65-76.

Abstract
As a potential substitute for lithium-ion battery, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted a tremendous amount of attention due to their advantages in terms of cost, safety and sustainability. Nevertheless, further improvement of the energy density of cathode materials in SIBs remains challenging and requires the activation of anion redox reaction (ARR) activity to provide additional capacity. Herein, we report a high-performance Mn-based sodium oxide cathode material, Na0.67Mg0.1Zn0.1Mn0.8O2 (NMZMO), with synergistic activation of ARR by cosubstitution. This material can deliver an ultra-high capacity of ∼233 mAh/g at 0.1 C, which is significantly higher than their single-cation-substituted counterparts and among the best in as-reported MgMn or ZnMn-based cathodes. Various spectroscopic techniques were comprehensively employed and it was demonstrated that the higher capacity of NMZMO originated from the enhanced ARR activity. Neutron pair distribution function and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering experiments revealed that out-of-plane migration of Mg/Zn occurred upon charging and oxygen anions in the form of molecular O2 were trapped in vacancy clusters in the fully-charged-state. In NMZMO, Mg and Zn mutually interacted with each other to migrate toward tetrahedral sites, which provided a prerequisite for further ARR activity enhancement to form more trapped molecular O2. These findings provide unique insight into the ARR mechanism and can guide the development of high-performance cathode materials through ARR enhancement strategies.

Abstract
Tin selenide (SnSe2 ) is considered a promising anode of the lithium-ion battery because of its tunable interlayer space, abundant active sites, and high theoretical capacity. However, the low electronic conductivity and large volume variation during the charging/discharging processes inevitably result in inadequate specific capacity and inferior cyclic stability. Herein, a high-throughput wet chemical method to synthesize SnSe2 /SnSe heterostructures is designed and used as anodes of lithium-ion batteries. The hierarchical nanoflower morphology of such heterostructures buffers the volume expansion, while the built-in electric field and metallic feature increase the charge transport capability. As expected, the superb specific capacity (≈911.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), high-rate performance, and outstanding cyclic stability are obtained in the lithium-ion batteries composed of SnSe2 /SnSe anodes. More intriguingly, a reversible specific capacity (≈374.7 mAh g-1 at 2.5 A g-1 ) is maintained after 1000 cycles. The internal lithium storage mechanism is clarified by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in situ characterizations. This work hereby provides a new paradigm for enhancing lithium-ion battery performances by constructing heterostructures.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of electrode materials is largely dependent on the structural and chemical evolutions during the charge-discharge processes. Hence, revealing ion storage chemistry could enlighten mechanistic understanding and offer guidance for rational design for energy storage materials. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of potassium (K)-ion storage in the promising bimetal oxide materials by in situ magnetometry. We focus on a single-phased hollow FeTiO3 (SPH-FTO) hexagonal prism synthesized through a complexing-reagent assisted approach and find that the K-ion storage in this compound occurs predominantly with an intercalation mechanism and fractionally a conversion mechanism. We also demonstrate a K-ion hybrid capacitor assembled with the prepared SPH-FTO hexagonal prism anode and activated carbon cathode, delivering a high energy density and high power density as well as extraordinary cycling stability. This new understanding is used to showcase the inherently high K-ion storage properties from the earth-abundant FeTiO3.

Abstract
Advancing the lithium-ion battery technology requires the understanding of electrochemical processes in electrode materials with high resolution, accuracy, and sensitivity. However, most techniques today are limited by their inability to separate the complex signals from slurry-coated composite electrodes. Here, we use a three-dimensional "Swiss-roll" microtubular electrode that is incorporated into a micrometer-sized lithium battery. This on-chip platform combines various in situ characterization techniques and precisely probes the intrinsic electrochemical properties of each active material due to the removal of unnecessary binders and additives. As an example, it helps elucidate the critical role of Fe substitution in a conversion-type NiO electrode by monitoring the evolution of Fe2O3 and solid electrolyte interphase layer. The markedly enhanced electrode performances are therefore explained. Our approach exposes a hitherto unexplored route to tracking the phase, morphology, and electrochemical evolution of electrodes in real time, allowing us to reveal information that is not accessible with bulk-level characterization techniques.
