Abstract
Functional separators modified by transition metal compounds have been proven to be effective in suppressing the shuttle effect of polysulfides and accelerating sluggish electrode dynamics in lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). However, the behaviors of heterojunctions composed of transition metals and their compounds in LSBs are still rarely studied. Herein, we report a novel Ni-CoSe2 heterostructure coated with nitrogen-doped carbon. Compared to homogeneous cobalt diselenide, it exhibits much stronger adsorption and catalytic conversion abilities towards polysulfides. With the modified separators, the lithium-sulfur batteries exhibit significantly improved capacity retention and reduced polarization during cycling.

Abstract
The poor electrochemical reaction kinetics of Li polysulfides is a key barrier that prevents the Li-S batteries from widespread applications. Ni single atoms dispersed on carbon matrixes derived from ZIF-8 are a promising type of catalyst for accelerating the conversion of active sulfur species. However, Ni favors a square-planar coordination that can only be doped on the external surface of ZIF-8, leading to a low loading amount of Ni single atoms after pyrolysis. Herein, we demonstrate an in situ trapping strategy to synthesize Ni and melamine-codoped ZIF-8 precursor (Ni-ZIF-8-MA) by simultaneously introducing melamine and Ni during the synthesis of ZIF-8, which can remarkably decrease the particle size of ZIF-8 and further anchor Ni via Ni-N6 coordination. Consequently, a novel high-loading Ni single-atom (3.3 wt %) catalyst implanted in an N-doped nanocarbon matrix (Ni@NNC) is obtained after high-temperature pyrolysis. This catalyst as a separator modifier shows a superior catalytic effect on the electrochemical transitions of Li polysulfides, which endows the corresponding Li-S batteries with a high specific capacity of 1232.4 mA h g-1 at 0.3 C and an excellent rate capability of 814.9 mA h g-1 at 3 C. Furthermore, a superior areal capacity of 4.6 mA h cm-2 with stable cycling over 160 cycles can be achieved under a critical condition with a low electrolyte/sulfur ratio (8.4 μL mg-1) and high sulfur loading (4.85 mg cm-2). The outstanding electrochemical performances can be attributed to the strong adsorption and fast conversion of Li polysulfides on the highly dense active sites of Ni@NNC. This intriguing work provides new inspirations for designing high-loading single-atom catalysts applied in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The most promising energy storage devices are lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), which offer a high theoretical energy density that is five times greater than that of lithium-ion batteries. However, there are still significant barriers to the commercialization of LSBs, and mesoporous carbon-based materials (MCBMs) have attracted much attention in solving LSBs' problems, due to their large specific surface area (SSA), high electrical conductivity, and other unique advantages. The synthesis of MCBMs and their applications in the anodes, cathodes, separators, and "two-in-one" hosts of LSBs are reviewed in this study. Most interestingly, we establish a systematic correlation between the structural characteristics of MCBMs and their electrochemical properties, offering recommendations for improving performance by altering the characteristics. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of LSBs under current policies are also clarified. This review provides ideas for the design of cathodes, anodes, and separators for LSBs, which could have a positive impact on the performance enhancement and commercialization of LSBs. The commercialization of high energy density secondary batteries is of great importance for the achievement of carbon neutrality and to meet the world's expanding energy demand.

NiFe 2O 4/Ketjen Black Composites as Efficient Membrane Separators to Suppress the Shuttle Effect for Long-Life Lithium-Sulfur Batteries. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12081347.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries exhibit great potential as one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density and specific capacity. However, the shuttle effect of the soluble polysulfide intermediates could lead to a severe self-discharge effect that hinders the development of lithium-sulfur batteries. In this paper, a battery separator has been prepared based on NiFe2O4/Ketjen Black (KB) modification by a simple method to solve the shuttle effect and improve the battery performance. The as-modified separator with the combination of small-size KB and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles can effectively use the physical and chemical double-layer adsorption to prevent polysulfide from the shuttle. Moreover, it can give full play to its catalytic effect to improve the conversion efficiency of polysulfide and activate the dead sulfur. The results show that the NiFe2O4/KB-modified separator battery still maintains a discharge capacity of 406.27 mAh/g after 1000 stable cycles at a high current density of 1 C. Furthermore, the coulombic efficiency remains at 99%, and the average capacity attenuation per cycle is only 0.051%. This simple and effective method can significantly improve the application capacity of lithium-sulfur batteries.

Abstract
Alkali metal batteries based on lithium, sodium, and potassium anodes and sulfur-based cathodes are regarded as key for next-generation energy storage due to their high theoretical energy and potential cost effectiveness. However, metal-sulfur batteries remain challenged by several factors, including polysulfides' (PSs) dissolution, sluggish sulfur redox kinetics at the cathode, and metallic dendrite growth at the anode. Functional separators and interlayers are an innovative approach to remedying these drawbacks. Here we critically review the state-of-the-art in separators/interlayers for cathode and anode protection, covering the Li-S and the emerging Na-S and K-S systems. The approaches for improving electrochemical performance may be categorized as one or a combination of the following: Immobilization of polysulfides (cathode); catalyzing sulfur redox kinetics (cathode); introduction of protective layers to serve as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) (anode); and combined improvement in electrolyte wetting and homogenization of ion flux (anode and cathode). It is demonstrated that while the advances in Li-S are relatively mature, less progress has been made with Na-S and K-S due to the more challenging redox chemistry at the cathode and increased electrochemical instability at the anode. Throughout these sections there is a complementary discussion of functional separators for emerging alkali metal systems based on metal-selenium and the metal-selenium sulfide. The focus then shifts to interlayers and artificial SEI/cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers employed to stabilize solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in metal-sulfur solid-state batteries (SSBs). The discussion of SSEs focuses on inorganic electrolytes based on Li- and Na-based oxides and sulfides but also touches on some hybrid systems with an inorganic matrix and a minority polymer phase. The review then moves to practical considerations for functional separators, including scaleup issues and Li-S technoeconomics. The review concludes with an outlook section, where we discuss emerging mechanics, spectroscopy, and advanced electron microscopy (e.g. cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB))-based approaches for analysis of functional separator structure-battery electrochemical performance interrelations. Throughout the review we identify the outstanding open scientific and technological questions while providing recommendations for future research topics.

Abstract
Active and durable bifunctional electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the cathode are required for high-performance rechargeable metal-air batteries. Herein, the synthesis of hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped carbon (HPNC) with bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis for Zn-air batteries is reported. The HPNC catalyst possesses a large surface area of 1459 m2 g-1 and exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity toward ORR and OER simultaneously with a low OER/ORR overpotential of 0.62 V, taking the difference between the potential at 10 mA cm-2 for OER and half-wave potential for ORR in 0.1 m KOH. Adopting HPNC as the air cathode, primary and rechargeable Zn-air batteries are fabricated. The primary batteries demonstrate a high open-circuit potential of 1.616 V, a specific capacity of 782.7 mAh gZn -1 and a superb peak power density of 201 mW cm-2 . The rechargeable batteries can be cycled stably for over 360 cycles or 120 h at the current density of 5 mA cm-2 . As elucidated by density functional theory, N-doping is preferred on defective sites with pentagon configuration and on the edge in the form of pyridinic-N-type. The high content of these two motifs in HPNC leads to the superior ORR and OER activities, respectively.

Abstract
The commercial applications of silicon nanomaterials as anode in lithium-ion batteries must solve two important problems, namely low expansion and long-term cycle stability. The former is related to nano-silicon structure, while the latter depends on silicon/carbon composite structure and preparation process. In order to suppress volume expansion appeared during lithiation, this paper selects a kind of silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) with a high degree of amorphization (81.9%), and designs a stable silicon/carbon composite material structure. Inside this structure, graphite nanoflakes (GNFs) with high specific surface are used as the skeleton, which can provide enough surface area for SiNPs to adhere and avoid the local accumulation of SiNPs. Outside this structure is uniformly coated with a layer of amorphous carbon. Raman and x-ray diffraction results show that after the high-temperature carbonization, the nano-silicon in the composite material still maintains a high degree of amorphization (67.1%) and the average crystallite size of Si has only increased from 3.7 to 9.5 nm. The initial Coulombic efficiency and reversible specific capacity of the composite material are 86.7% and 1374.8 mAh g-1, respectively. After mixing with commercial graphite, the initial Coulombic efficiency and reversible specific capacity are 93.7% and 426.4 mAh g-1, respectively. LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2(NCM811) is used as the cathode to produce a soft-pack battery. After 900 cycles at room temperature, the capacity remains 86.2%. The silicon/carbon anode material reported in this paper is of great potential for commercialization.

Abstract
Practical applications of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been severely hindered by their low capacity, poor rate performance, and fast capacity degradation, which mainly originate from the notorious polysulfide shuttle effect. Herein, with density functional theory calculations, we show that the alloying of Fe into carbon-coated Co not only provides moderate binding interactions with the polysulfides to hinder their diffusion but also serves as an active catalyst in the spontaneous and successive lithiation of S8 to Li2S. Based on the fast migration of Li ions and the spontaneous lithiation of Li2S2 on the carbon-coated Fe-Co alloy, the entrapping-conversion processes of polysulfides are both thermodynamically and kinetically promoted in redox cycling. Experimentally, rationally designed Co7Fe3@porous graphite carbon-carbon nanotubes (Co7Fe3@PGC-CNT) electrocatalysts are introduced into Li-S batteries through separator functionalization. Consistent with theoretical predictions, Li-S batteries with Co7Fe3@PGC-CNT modified separators exhibit a dramatically enhanced rate capacity (788 and 631 mAh g-1 at 10 and 15 C rates, respectively) and cycling stability (a slow capacity decay of 0.05% per cycle over 1000 cycles at 2.0 C), which are superior to those of most reported Li-S batteries coupled with state-of-the-art separators. Furthermore, it is shown that the excellent hindering of the shuttle effects enables a high areal capacity of 4.7 mAh cm-2 after 90 cycles at a high sulfur loading of 6.7 mg cm-2. Our work provides a feasible method for developing high-energy and long-life Li-S batteries, which might drive the commercialization of Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The commercial course of Li-S batteries (LSBs) is impeded by several severe problems, such as low electrical conductivity of S, Li2 S2 , and Li2 S, considerable volume variation up to 80% during multiphase transformation and severe intermediation lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) shuttle effect. To solve above problems, conductive FeOOH interlayer is designed as an effective trapper and catalyst to accelerate the conversion of LiPSs in LSBs. FeOOH nanorod is effectively affinitive to S that Fe atoms act as Lewis acid sites to capture LiPSs via strong chemical anchoring capability and dispersion interaction. The excellent electrocatalytic effect enables that reduced charging potential barrier and enhanced electron/ion transport is realized on the FeOOH interlayer to promote LiPSs conversion. Significantly, Li2 S oxidation process is improved on the FeOOH interlayer determined as a combination of reduced Li2 S decomposition energy barrier and enhanced Li-ion transport. Therefore, the multifunctional FeOOH interlayer with conductive and catalytic features show strong chemisorption with LiPSs and accelerated LiPSs redox kinetics. As a result, LSBs with FeOOH interlayer displays high discharge capacity of 1449 mAh g-1 at 0.05 C and low capacity decay of 0.05% per cycle at 1 C, as well as excellent rate capability (449 mAh g-1 at 2 C).

Abstract
Catalyst screening of γ-Al2O3-supported, single-metal and bimetallic catalysts revealed several bimetallic catalysts with activities for partial combustion of methane greater than a benchmark Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. A cost analysis of those catalysts identified that the (2 wt%Cr + 3 wt% Ru)/γ-Al2O3 catalyst, denoted as 2Cr3Ru/Al2O3, was about 17.6 times cheaper than the benchmark catalyst and achieved a methane conversion of 10.50% or 1.6 times higher than the benchmark catalyst based on identical catalyst weights. In addition, various catalyst characterization techniques were performed to determine the physicochemical properties of the catalysts, revealing that the particle size of RuO2 became smaller and the binding energy of Ru 3d also shifted toward a lower energy. Moreover, the operating conditions (reactor temperature and O2/CH4 ratio), stability, and reusability of the 2Cr3Ru/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated. The stability test of the catalyst over 24 h was very good, without any signs of coke deposition. The reusability of the catalyst for five cycles (6 h for each cycle) was noticeably excellent.

Abstract
Fabrication of a nanocrystalline zinc oxide (ZnO)/nitrogen-doped graphene (NDG) composite using a novel and facile in situ sol-gel technique is demonstrated in this study. A two-dimensional nanostructured morphology with uniform ZnO nanoparticles (average diameter of 10 ± 4 nm) anchored on NDG nanosheets was observed via electron microscopy. The polar heteroatoms on the graphene sheets provided abundant sites for polysulfide absorption. More importantly, the strong chemical interaction between ZnO and polysulfides efficiently hindered the transport of polysulfides. Consequently, the lithium/sulfur (Li/S) battery with the ZnO/NDG composite-coated separator exhibited enhanced performance in terms of discharge capacity and cycling stability compared to the cell with a conventional separator. With the modified separator, the Li/S battery achieved a discharge capacity of 942 mAh·g−1 after the first cycle and exhibited a capacity retention of 90.02% after the 200th charge/discharge test at 0.1 C. These results indicate that suppression of the shuttling of polysulfides efficiently improves the performance of the Li/S battery.

Abstract
To inhibit the polysulfide-diffusion in lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries and improve the electrochemical properties, the commercial polypropylene (PP) was decorated by an active carbon (AC) coating with lots of electronegative oxygenic functional group of –OH. Owing to the strong adsorption of AC and the electrostatic repulsion between the –OH and negatively charged polysulfide ions, the Li-S batteries demonstrated a high initial discharge capacity of 1,656 mAh g−1 (approximately 99% utilization of sulfur) and the capacity can still remain at 830 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 C. Moreover, when the rate was increased to 1 C, the batteries could also possess a discharge capacity of 1,143 mAh g−1. The encouraging cycling stability make clear that this facile approach can successfully restrain the shuttle effect of polysulfides and make further progress to the practical application of Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Secondary batteries have received huge attention due to their attractive features in applications of large-scale energy storage and portable electronic devices, as well as electrical vehicles. In a secondary battery, a membrane plays the role of separating the anode and cathode to prevent the occurrence of a short circuit, while allowing the transport of charge carriers to achieve a complete circuit. The properties of a membrane will largely determine the performance of a battery. In this article, we review the research and development progress of porous membranes in secondary battery technologies, such as lithium-based batteries together with flow batteries. The preparation methods as well as the required properties of porous membranes in different secondary battery technologies will be elucidated thoroughly and deeply. Most importantly, this review will mainly focus on the optimization and modification of porous membranes in different secondary battery systems. And various modifications on commercial porous membranes along with novel membrane materials are widely discussed and summarized. This review will help to optimize the membrane material for different secondary batteries, and favor the understanding of the preparation-structure-performance relationship of porous membranes in different secondary batteries. Therefore, this review will provide an extensive, comprehensive and professional reference to design and construct high-performance porous membranes.

Abstract
High energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness are the advantages of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery which is regarded as a promising device for electrochemical energy storage systems. As one of the important ingredients in Li-S battery, the binder greatly affects the battery performance. However, the conventional binder has some drawbacks such as poor capability of absorbing hydrophilic lithium polysulfides, resulting in severe capacity decay. In this work, we reported a multi-functional polar binder (AHP) by polymerization of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) with ethylenediamine (EDA) bearing a large amount of amino groups, which were successfully used in electrode preparation with commercial sulfur powder cathodes. The abundant amide groups of the binder endow the cathode with multidimensional chemical bonding interaction with sulfur species within the cathode to inhibit the shuttling effect of polysulfides, while the suitable ductility to buffer volume change. Utilizing these advantageous features, composite C/S cathodes based the binder displayed excellent capacity retention at 0.5 C, 1 C, 1.5 C, and 3 C over 200 cycles. Accompany with commercial binder, AHP may act as an alternative feedstock to open a promising approach for sulfur cathodes in rechargeable lithium battery to achieve commercial application.

Abstract
Retaining soluble polysulfides in the sulfur cathodes and allowing for deep redox are essential to develop high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries. The versatile textures and physicochemical characteristics of abundant biomass offer a great opportunity to prepare biochar materials that can enhance the performance of Li-S batteries in sustainable mode. Here, we exploit micro-/mesoporous coconut shell carbon (CSC) with high specific surface areas as a sulfur host for Li-S batteries. The sulfur-infiltrated CSC materials show superior discharge-charge capacity, cycling stability, and high rate capability. High discharge capacities of 1599 and 1500 mA h g-1 were achieved at current rates of 0.5 and 2.0 C, respectively. A high reversible capacity of 517 mA h g-1 was retained at 2.0 C even after 400 cycles. The results demonstrate a high retention and a deep lithiation of the CSC-confined sulfur. The success of this strategy provides insights into seeking high-performance biochar materials for Li-S batteries from abundant bioresources.

A Praline-Like Flexible Interlayer with Highly Mounted Polysulfide Anchors for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2017; 13:1700357.

Abstract
The development of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries is dogged by the rapid capacity decay arising from polysulfide dissolution and diffusion in organic electrolytes. To solve this critical issue, a praline-like flexible interlayer consisting of high-loading titanium oxide (TiO2 ) nanoparticles and relatively long carbon nanofibers is fabricated. TiO2 nanoparticles with a size gradient occupy both the external and internal of carbon fiber and serve as anchors that allow the chemical adsorption of polysulfides through a conductive nanoarchitecture. The porous conductive carbon backbone helps in the physical absorption of polysulfides and provides redox reaction sites to allow the polysulfides to be reused. More importantly, it offers enough mechanical strength to support a high load TiO2 nanoparticle (79 wt%) that maximizes their chemical role, and can accommodate the large volume changes. Significant enhancement in cycle stability and rate capability is achieved for a readily available sulfur/multi-walled carbon nanotube composite cathode simply by incorporating this hierarchically nanostructured interlayer. The design and synthesis of interlayers by in situ integration of metal oxides and carbon fibers via a simple route offers the potential to advance Li-S batteries for practical applications in the future.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted increasing attention as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. However, the poor cycling performance and the low utilization of sulfur greatly hinder its practical applications. Here we report the improved performance of lithium-sulfur batteries by coating Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (where T stands for the surface termination, such as -O, -OH, and/or -F) on commercial "Celgard" membrane. In favor of the ultrathin two-dimensional structure, the Ti3C2Tx MXene can form a uniform coating layer with a minimum mass loading of 0.1 mg cm-2 and a thickness of only 522 nm. Owing to the improved electric conductivity and the effective trapping of polysulfides, the lithium-sulfur batteries with MXene-functionalized separators exhibit superior performance including high specific capacities and cycling stability.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been intensively investigated as a next-generation rechargeable battery due to their high energy density of 2600 W·h kg(-1) and low cost. However, the systemic issues of Li-S batteries, such as the polysulfide shuttling effect and low Coulombic efficiency, hinder the practical use in commercial rechargeable batteries. The introduction of a conductive interlayer between the sulfur cathode and separator is a promising approach that has shown the dramatic improvements in Li-S batteries. The previous interlayer work mainly focused on the physical confinement of polysulfides within the cathode part, without considering the further entrapment of the dissolved polysulfides. Here, we designed an ultrathin poly(acrylic acid) coated single-walled carbon nanotube (PAA-SWNT) film as a synergic functional interlayer to address the issues mentioned above. The designed interlayer not only lowers the charge transfer resistance by the support of the upper current collector but also localizes the dissolved polysulfides within the cathode part by the aid of a physical blocking and chemical bonding. With the synergic combination of PAA and SWNT, the sulfur cathode with a PAA-SWNT interlayer maintained higher capacity retention over 200 cycles and achieved better rate retention than the sulfur cathode with a SWNT interlayer. The proposed approach of combining a functional polymer and conductive support material can provide an optimiztic strategy to overcome the fundamental challenges underlying in Li-S batteries.
