Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) is a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), which suffer from the intrinsic sluggish ion transferability and poor conductivity. To overcome these drawbacks, a facile strategy is developed to synergistically engineer the lattice defects (i.e., heteroatom doping and oxygen vacancy generation) and the fine microstructure (i.e., carbon hybridization and porous structure) of TiO2 -based anode, which efficiently enhances the sodium storage performance. Herein, it is successfully realized that the Si-doping into the MIL-125 metal-organic framework structure, which can be easily converted to SiO2 /TiO2-x @C nanotablets by annealing under inert atmosphere. After NaOH etching SiO2 /TiO2-x @C which contains unbonded SiO2 and chemically bonded SiOTi, thus the lattice Si-doped TiO2-x @C (Si-TiO2-x @C) nanotablets with rich Ti3+ /oxygen vacancies and abundant inner pores are developed. When examined as an anode for SIB, the Si-TiO2-x @C exhibits a high sodium storage capacity (285 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 ), excellent long-term cycling, and high-rate performances (190 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 2500 cycles with 95.1% capacity retention). Theoretical calculations indicate that the rich Ti3+ /oxygen vacancies and Si-doping synergistically contribute to a narrowed bandgap and lower sodiation barrier, which thus lead to fast electron/ion transfer coefficients and the predominant pseudocapacitive sodium storage behavior.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF)-derived iron-nitrogen-carbon (FeNC) materials are expected to be high-efficiency catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, increasing the density of active sites while avoiding metal accumulation still faces significant challenges. Herein, solvent environment engineering is used to synthesize the FeNC containing dense Fe-Nx moieties by adjusting the solvent during the ZIF precursor synthesis process. Compared with methanol and water/methanol, the aqueous media can provide a more moderate Fe content for the ZIF precursor, which facilitates the construction of high-density Fe-Nx sites and prevent the appearance of iron-based nanoparticles during pyrolysis. Therefore, the FeNC(C) nanocubes synthesized in an aqueous media have the highest single atom Fe loading (0.6 at%) among the prepared samples, which presents excellent oxygen reduction properties and durability under alkaline and acidic conditions. The advantage of FeNC(C) is proven in Zn-air batteries, with outstanding performance and long-term stability.

Abstract
TiO2 is considered as a low cost, long-term stable, and safe anode for high power K-ion hybrid capacitors (KICs) due to its abundant reserve, small volume expansion rate, and sloping voltage plateau that avoids K-ion plating at high voltage polarization. However, the enhancement of its low capacity and sluggish kinetics caused by poor electroconductivity and high insertion barrier is still challenging to further develop high-performance KICs. Herein, the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is embedded in the walls of 3D ordered macro-/mesoporous TiO2 (termed as TiO2@rGO framework) to create intimate TiO2/rGO interfaces, ensuring the effectively electron transportation during potassiation/depotassiation of TiO2 while maintaining rapid ions/electrolyte diffusion. Furthermore, the controlled amorphous TiO2 framework can further lower the lattice insertion energies, contributing to a fast accommodation of K-ion. As expected, the amorphous TiO2@rGO framework (TiO2@rGO-1) exhibits a superior rate capability (148.8 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1) and cycling stability (171.2 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 800 cycles). The assembled KICs can reach a high energy/power density of 125.2 Wh kg-1/4267.4 W kg-1 as well as a long-term lifespan. This tactic provides a reliable and general way to design a TiO2-based anode with fast kinetics toward high-performance KICs.

Abstract
To alleviate kinetics imbalance and capacity insufficiency simultaneously, a novel hierarchical structure (SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC) composed of delaminated Ti3C2Tx, SnCu2Se4 nanoparticles, and N-doped porous carbon layers is designed as a battery-type anode for lithium/sodium ion hybrid capacitor (LIC/SIC). The combination of SnCu2Se4 nanoparticles with high specific capacity, d-Ti3C2Tx with accelerated ion diffusion path, and NPC with enhanced electronic conductivity makes the SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC composite possess excellent cycling stabilities in half-cell lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries (LIB and SIB), with capacities of 114 mAh g-1 after 6000 cycles at 10 A g-1 for LIB and 296 mAh g-1 after 900 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 for SIB. The rate performance is also outstanding, with recovered capacity of 738 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after cycles at current densities up to 50 A g-1 for LIB. Subsequently, LIC and SIC based on the SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC anode and activated carbon cathode exhibit high energy densities of 147.9 and 158.6 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 100 W kg-1, respectively. They also possess distinctive long lifespans with capacity retentions of 78 and 81% after 10,000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1, respectively, demonstrating the feasibility of SnCu2Se4/d-Ti3C2Tx/NPC toward energy devices requiring high energy density, power density, and long-term stability.

Particularly, the fabrication of 1D structures such as wires, rods, belts, and tubes has been an interesting and important subject within nanoscience in the last few decades. 1D necklace-like micro/nanostructures are a sophisticated geometry that has attracted increasing attention due to their anisotropic and periodic structure, intrinsic high surface area, abundant transport channels, exposure of each component to the surface, and multiscale roughness of the surface. These characteristics enable their unique electrical, optical, and catalytic properties. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the advanced research progress on the fabrication strategies, novel properties, and various applications of necklace-like structures. It begins with the main fabrication methods of necklace-like structures and subsequently details a variety of their properties and applications. It concludes with the authors' perspectives on future research and development of the necklace-like structures.
