Abstract
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are highly dense in energy and considered as promising anode materials for a new generation of alkaline ion batteries. However, their electrode structure is disrupted due to significant volume changes during charging and discharging, resulting in the short cycle life of batteries. In this paper, the hierarchical Ni3V2O8@N-doped carbon (Ni3V2O8@NC) hollow double-shell microspheres were prepared and used as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The utilization efficiency and ion transfer rate of Ni3V2O8 were improved by the hollow microsphere structure formed through nanoparticle self-assembly. Furthermore, the uniform N-doped carbon layer not only enhanced the structural stability of Ni3V2O8, but also improved the overall electrical conductivity of the composite. The Ni3V2O8@NC electrode has an initial discharge capacity of up to 1167.3 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.3 A g-1, a reversible capacity of up to 726.5 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles, and still has a capacity of 567.6 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1, indicating that the material has good cycle stability and high-rate capability. This work presents new findings on the design and fabrication of complex porous double-shell nanostructures.

Abstract
We have used density functional theory simulations to explore the topological characteristics of a new MXene-like material, V4C3, and its oxide counterpart, assessing their potential as anode materials for Mg-ion batteries. Our research reveals that V4C3 monolayer is a topological type-II nodal line semimetal, protected by time reversal and spatial inversion symmetries. This type-II nodal line is marked by unique drumhead-like edge states that appear either inside or outside the loop circle, contingent upon the edge ending. Intriguingly, even with an increase in metallicity due to oxygen functionalization, the topological features of V4C3 remain intact. Consequently, the monolayer V4C3 has a topologically enhanced electrical conductivity that amplifies further upon oxygen functionalization. During the charging phase, a remarkable storage concentration led to a peak specific capacity of 894.73 mAh g-1 for V4C3, which only decreases to 789.33 mAh g-1 for V4C3O2. When compared to V2C, V4C3 displays a significantly lower specific capacity loss due to functionalization, demonstrating its superior electrochemical properties. Additionally, V4C3 and V4C3O2 exhibit moderate average open-circuit voltages (0.54 V for V4C3 and 0.58 V for V4C3O2) and energy barriers for intercalation migration (ranging between 0.29-0.63 eV), which are desirable for anode materials. Thus, our simulation results support V4C3 potential as an efficient anode material for Mg-ion batteries.

Abstract
The synthesis of anode materials plays an important role in determining the production efficiency, cost, and performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, a low-cost, high-speed, scalable manufacturing process of the anode with the desired structural feature for practical technology adoption remains elusive. In this study, we propose a novel method called in situ flash shunt-electrothermal shock (SETS) which is controllable, fast, and energy-saving for synthesizing metal oxide-based materials. By using the example of direct electrothermal decomposition of ZIF-67 precursor loaded onto copper foil support, we achieve rapid (0.1-0.3 s) pyrolysis and generate porous hollow cubic structure material consisting of carbon-coated ultrasmall (10-15 nm) subcrystalline CoO/Co nanoparticles with controllable morphology. It was shown that CoO/Co@N-C exhibits prominent electrochemical performance with a high reversible capacity up to 1503.7 mA h g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.2 A g-1and stable capacities up to 434.1 mA h g-1 after 400 cycles at a high current density of 6 A g-1. This fabrication technique integrates the synthesis of active materials and the formation of electrode sheets into one process, thus simplifying the preparation of electrodes. Due to the simplicity and scalability of this process, it can be envisaged to apply it to the synthesis of metal oxide-based materials and to achieve large-scale production in a nanomanufacturing process.

Abstract
1T-MoS2 has become an ideal anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the metastable feature of 1T-MoS2 makes it difficult to directly synthesize under normal conditions. In addition, it easily transforms into 2H phase via restacking, resulting in inferior electrochemical performance. Herein, the electron configuration of Mo 4d orbitals is modulated and the stable 1T-MoS2 is constructed by nickel (Ni) introduction (1T-Ni-MoS2). The original electron configuration of Mo 4d orbitals is changed via the electron injection by Ni, which triggers the phase transition from 2H to 1T phase, thus improving the electrical conductivity and accelerating the redox kinetics of the material. Consequently, 1T-Ni-MoS2 exhibits superior rate capability (266.8 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1) and excellent cycle life (358.7 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 350 cycles). In addition, the assembled Na3V2(PO4)3/C||1T-Ni-MoS2 full cells deliver excellent electrochemical properties and show great prospects in energy storage devices.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered as an alternative to and even replacement of lithium-ion batteries in the near future in order to address the energy crisis and scarcity of lithium resources due to the wide distribution and abundance of sodium resources on the earth. The exploration and development of high-performance anode materials are critical to the practical applications of advanced SIBs. Among various anode materials, bimetallic oxides (BMOs) have attracted special research attention because of their abundance, easy access, rich redox reactions, enhanced capacity and satisfactory cycling stability. Although many BMO anode materials have been reported as anode materials in SIBs, very limited studies summarized the progress and prospect of BMOs in practical applications of SIBs. In this review, recent progress and challenges of BMO anode materials for SIBs have been comprehensively summarized and discussed. First, the preparation methods and sodium storage mechanisms of BMOs are discussed. Then, the challenges, optimization strategies, and sodium storage performance of BMO anode materials have been reviewed and summarized. Finally, the prospects and future research directions of BMOs in SIBs have been proposed. This review aims to provide insight into the efficient design and optimization of BMO anode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Hexagonal MAB phases (h-MAB) have attracted attention due to their potential to exfoliate into MBenes, similar to MXenes, which are predicted to be promising for Li-ion battery applications. However, the high cost of synthesizing MBenes poses challenges for their use in batteries. This study presents a novel approach where a simple ball-milling treatment is employed to enhance the purity of the h-MAB phase Ti2 InB2 and introduce significant indium defects, resulting in improved conductivity and the creation of abundant active sites. The synthesized Ti2 InB2 with indium defects (VIn -Ti2 InB2 ) exhibits excellent electrochemical properties, particularly exceptional long-cycle stability at current densities of 5 A g-1 (5000 cycles, average capacity decay of 0.0018%) and 10 A g-1 (15 000 cycles, average capacity decay of 0.093%). The charge storage mechanism of VIn -Ti2 InB2 , involving a dual redox reaction, is proposed, where defects promote the In-Li alloy reaction and a redox reaction with Li in the TiB layer. Finally, a Li-ion full cell demonstrates cycling stability at 0.5 A g-1 after 350 cycles. This work presents the first accessible and scalable application of VIn -Ti2 InB2 as a Li-ion anode, unlocking a wealth of possibilities for sustainable electrochemical applications of h-MAB phases.

Abstract
In sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), TiO2or sodium titanates are discussed as cost-effective anode material. The use of ultrafine TiO2particles overcomes the effect of intrinsically low electronic and ionic conductivity that otherwise limits the electrochemical performance and thus its Na-ion storage capacity. Especially, TiO2nanoparticles integrated in a highly conductive, large surface-area, and stable graphene matrix can achieve an exceptional electrochemical rate performance, durability, and increase in capacity. We report the direct and scalable gas-phase synthesis of TiO2and graphene and their subsequent self-assembly to produce TiO2/graphene nanocomposites (TiO2/Gr). Transmission electron microscopy shows that the TiO2nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the graphene nanosheets. TiO2/Gr nanocomposites with graphene loadings of 20 and 30 wt% were tested as anode in SIBs. With the outstanding electronic conductivity enhancement and a synergistic Na-ion storage effect at the interface of TiO2nanoparticles and graphene, nanocomposites with 30 wt% graphene exhibited particularly good electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 281 mAh g-1at 0.1 C, compared to pristine TiO2nanoparticles (155 mAh g-1). Moreover, the composite showed excellent high-rate performance of 158 mAh g-1at 20 C and a reversible capacity of 154 mAh g-1after 500 cycles at 10 C. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the Na-ion storage is dominated by surface and TiO2/Gr interface processes rather than slow, diffusion-controlled intercalation, explaining its outstanding rate performance. The synthesis route of these high-performing nanocomposites provides a highly promising strategy for the scalable production of advanced nanomaterials for SIBs.

Abstract
As a candidate anode material for Li-ion batteries, Bi-based materials have attracted extensive attention from researchers due to their high specific capacity, environmental friendliness, and simple synthesis methods. However, Bi-based anode materials are prone to causing large volume changes during charging and discharging processes, and the effect of these changes on lithium storage performance is still unclear. This work introduces that Bi/C nanocomposites are prepared by the Bi-based MOF precursor calcination method, and that the Bi/C nanocomposite maintains a high specific capacity (931.6 mAh g-1) with good multiplicative performance after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1. The structural evolution of Bi/C anode material during the first cycle of charging and discharging is investigated using in situ synchrotron radiation SAXS. The SAXS results indicate that the multistage scatterers of Bi/C composite, used as an anode material during the first lithiation, can be classified into mesopores, interspaces, and Bi nanoparticles. The different nanostructure evolutions of three types of Bi nanoparticles were observed. It is believed that this result will help to further understand the complex reaction mechanism of Bi-based anode materials in Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been extensively studied owing to the abundance and low-price of Na resources. However, the infeasibility of graphite and silicon electrodes in sodium-ion storage makes it urgent to develop high-performance anode materials. Herein, α-MnSe nanorods derived from δ-MnO2 (δ-α-MnSe) are constructed as anodes for SIBs. It is verified that α-MnSe will be transferred into β-MnSe after the initial Na-ion insertion/extraction, and δ-α-MnSe undergoes typical conversion mechanism using a Mn-ion for charge compensation in the subsequent charge-discharge process. First-principles calculations support that Na-ion migration in defect-free α-MnSe can drive the lattice distortion to phase transition (alpha → beta) in thermodynamics and dynamics. The formed β-MnSe with robust lattice structure and small Na-ion diffusion barrier boosts great structure stability and electrochemical kinetics. Hence, the δ-α-MnSe electrode contributes excellent rate capability and superior cyclic stability with long lifespan over 1000 cycles and low decay rate of 0.0267% per cycle. Na-ion full batteries with a high energy density of 281.2 Wh·kg-1 and outstanding cyclability demonstrate the applicability of δ-α-MnSe anode.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a replaceable energy storage technology have attracted extensive attention in recent years. The design and preparation of advanced anode materials with high capacity and excellent cycling performance for SIBs still face enormous challenges. Herein, a solution method is developed for in situ synthesis of anti-aggregation tellurium nanorods/reduced graphene oxide (Te NR/rGO) composite. The material working as the sodium-ion battery (SIB) anode achieves a high reversible capacity of 338 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 and exhibits up to 93.4% capacity retention after 500 cycles. This work demonstrates an effective preparation method of nano-Te-based composites for SIBs.

Abstract
In this study, 1T phase MoS2 nanosheets were synthesized on the surface of a carbon cloth via a hydrothermal reaction. After heat treatment, the 1T phase MoS2 was transformed into the 2H phase with a better capacity retention performance. As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, 2H phase MoS2 on the carbon cloth surface delivers a capacity of 1075 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 after 50 cycles; while the capacity of the 1T phase MoS2 on the surface of the carbon cloth without heat treatment fades to 528 mAh g-1. The good conductivity of a carbon cloth substrate and the separated MoS2 nanosheets help to increase the capacity of MoS2 and decrease its charge transfer resistance and promote the diffusion of lithium ions in the electrode.

Abstract
Molybdenum sulfide has been widely investigated as a prospective anode material for Li+/Na+ storage because of its unique layered structure and high theoretical capacity. However, the enormous volume variation and poor conductivity limit the development of molybdenum sulfide. The rational design of a heterogeneous interface is of great importance to improve the structure stability and electrical conductivity of electrode materials. Herein, a high-temperature mixing method is implemented in the hydrothermal process to synthesize the hybrid structure of MoS2/V2O3@carbon-graphene (MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO). The MoS2/V2O3@C-rGO composites exhibit superior Li+/Na+ storage performance due to the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components and the introduction of carbon materials, delivering a prominent reversible capacity of 564 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 600 cycles for lithium-ion batteries and 376.3 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 450 cycles for sodium-ion batteries. Theoretical calculations confirm that the construction of the interface between the MoS2 and V2O3 components can accelerate the reaction kinetics and enhance the charge-ionic transport of molybdenum sulfide. The results illustrate that interfacial engineering may be an effective guide to obtain high-performance electrode materials for Li+/Na+ storage.

Abstract
The high specific capacity of transition metal sulfides (TMSs) opens up a promising new development direction for lithium-ion batteries with high energy storage. However, the poor conductivity and serious volume expansion during charge and discharge hinder their further development. In this work, trimetallic sulfide Zn-Co-Fe-S@nitrogen-doped carbon (Zn-Co-Fe-S@N-C) polyhedron composite with a core-shell structure is synthesized through a simple self-template method using ZnCoFe-ZIF as precursor, followed by a dopamine surface polymerization process and sulfidation during high-temperature calcination. The obvious space between the internal core and the external shell of the Zn-Co-Fe-S@N-C composites can effectively alleviate the volume expansion and shorten the diffusion path of Li ions during charge and discharge cycles. The nitrogen-doped carbon shell not only significantly improves the electrical conductivity of the material, but also strengthens the structural stability of the material. The synergistic effect between polymetallic sulfides improves the electrochemical reactivity. When used as an anode in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the prepared Zn-Co-Fe-S@N-C composite exhibits a high specific capacity retention (966.6 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at current rate of 100 mA g-1) and good cyclic stability (499.17 mA h g-1 after 120 cycles at current rate of 2000 mA g-1).

Abstract
TiO2 is a widely recognized intercalation anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), yet its practical capacity is kinetically constrained due to sluggish lithium-ion diffusion, leading to a lithiation number of less than 1.0 Li+ (336 mAh g-1). Here, the growth of TiO2 crystallites is restrained by integrating Si into the TiO2 framework, thereby enhancing the charge transfer and creating additional active sites potentially residing at grain boundaries for Li+ storage. This strategy is corroborated by the expanded redox range of Ti, as thoroughly demonstrated via synchrotron radiation-based X-ray spectroscopy and Cs-corrected electron microscopy. Consequently, when deployed for lithium storage, the tailored material achieves an extraordinarily high reversible capacity of 559 mAh g-1, 116% of the theoretical maximum of 483 mAh g-1 calculated based on all active species, while simultaneously retaining superior rate capability and robust cycling stability. This work offers fresh perspectives on the revitalization of traditional electrode materials to achieve enhanced capacities.

Abstract
Germanium, a promising electrode material for high-capacity lithium ion batteries (LIBs) anodes, attracted much attention because of its large capacity and remarkably fast charge/discharge kinetics. Multivalent-ion batteries are of interest as potential alternatives to LIBs because they have a higher energy density and are less prone to safety hazards. In this study, we probed the potential of amorphous Ge anodes for use in multivalent-ion batteries. Although alloying Al and Zn in Ge anodes is thermodynamically unstable, Mg and Ca alloys with Ge form stable compounds, Mg2.3Ge and Ca2.4Ge that exhibit higher capacities than those obtained by alloying Li, Na, or K with Ge, corresponding to 1697 and 1771 mA·h·g-1, respectively. Despite having a slightly lower capacity than Ca-Ge, Mg-Ge shows an approximately 150% smaller volume expansion ratio (231% vs. 389%) and three orders of magnitude higher ion diffusivity (3.0 × 10-8 vs. 1.1 × 10-11 cm2 s-1) than Ca-Ge. Furthermore, ion diffusion in Mg-Ge occurs at a rate comparable to that of monovalent ions, such as Li+, Na+, and K+. The outstanding performance of the Mg-Ge system may originate from the coordination number of the Ge host atoms and the smaller atomic size of Mg. Therefore, Ge anodes could be applied in multivalent-ion batteries using Mg2+ as the carrier ion because its properties can compete with or surpass monovalent ions. Here, we report that the maximum capacity, volume expansion ratio, and ion diffusivities of the alloying electrode materials can be understood using atomic-scale structural properties, such as the host-host and host-ion coordination numbers, as valuable indicators.

Abstract
Due to the low capacity, low working potential, and lithium coating at fast charging rates of graphite material as an anode for Li-ion batteries (LIBs), it is necessary to develop novel anode materials for LIBs with higher capacity, excellent electrochemical stability, and good safety. Among different transition-metal oxides, AB2O4 spinel oxides are promising anode materials for LIBs due to their high theoretical capacities, environmental friendliness, high abundance, and low cost. In this work, a novel, porous Zn0.5Mg0.5FeMnO4 spinel oxide was successfully prepared via the sol-gel method and then studied as an anode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Its crystal structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties were, respectively, analyzed through X-ray diffraction, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, and cyclic voltammetry/galvanostatic discharge/charge measurements. From the X-ray diffraction, Zn0.5Mg0.5FeMnO4 spinel oxide was found to crystallize in the cubic structure with Fd3¯m symmetry. However, the Zn0.5Mg0.5FeMnO4 spinel oxide exhibited a porous morphology formed by interconnected 3D nanoparticles. The porous Zn0.5Mg0.5FeMnO4 anode showed good cycling stability in its capacity during the initial 40 cycles with a retention capacity of 484.1 mAh g-1 after 40 cycles at a current density of 150 mA g-1, followed by a gradual decrease in the range of 40-80 cycles, which led to reaching a specific capacity close to 300.0 mAh g-1 after 80 cycles. The electrochemical reactions of the lithiation/delithiation processes and the lithium-ion storage mechanism are discussed and extracted from the cyclic voltammetry curves.

Abstract
Fast electron/ion transport and cycling stability of anode materials are key factors for achieving a high rate performance of battery materials. Herein, we successfully fabricated a carbon-coated Mo2C nanofiber (denoted as laser Mo2C@C) as the lithium ion battery anode material by laser carbonization of PAN-PMo12 (PAN = Polyacrylonitrile; PMo12 = H3PMo12O40). The highly graphitized carbon layer in laser Mo2C@C effectively protects Mo2C from agglomeration and flaking while facilitating electron transfer. As such, the laser Mo2C@C electrode displays an excellent electrochemical stability under 5 A g-1, with a capacity up to 300 mA h g-1 after 3000 cycles. Furthermore, the extended X-ray absorption fine structure results show the existence of some Mo vacancies in Mo2C@C. Density functional theory calculations further prove that such vacancies make the defective Mo2C@C composites energetically more favorable for lithium storage in comparison with the intact Mo2C.

An appropriate amount of water in ethylene glycol can accelerate the formation of Fe3O4and reduce the average size of Fe3O4to around 20 nm. However, spherical Fe3O4particles larger than 100 nm will form in pure ethylene glycol for long reaction time. The Fe3O4/CNT composite with small Fe3O4nanoparticles exhibits a high specific surface area, promoted electron transfer ability, as well as a high utilization rate of active materials. The optimized electrode shows a high specific capacity of 689 C g-1at 1 A g-1, and remains 443 C g-1at 10 A g-1. The inferior long-term cycling stability is due to the phase transition of Fe3O4and a reductive effect to form metallic Fe. An ASC using Fe3O4/CNT and NiCoO2/C composites as anode and cathode, respectively, delivers a high energy density of 58.1 Wh kg-1at a power density of 1007 W kg-1in a voltage window of 1.67 V and has a capacity retention of 63% after 5000 cycles. The self-discharge behavior of the ASC is also investigated.

Abstract
In this work, we prepared a green, cheap material by chelating humic acid with ferric ions (HA-Fe) and used it as an anode material in LIBs for the first time. From the SEM, TEM, XPS, XRD, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experimental results, it was found that the ferric ion can chelate with humic acid successfully under mild conditions and can increase the surface area of materials. Taking advantage of the chelation between the ferric ions and HA, the capacity of HA-Fe is 586 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1 after 1000 cycles. Moreover, benefitting from the chelation effect, the activation degree of HA-Fe (about 8 times) is seriously improved compared with pure HA material (about 2 times) during the change-discharge process. The capacity retention ratio of HA-Fe is 55.63% when the current density increased from 0.05 A·g-1 to 1 A·g-1, which is higher than that of HA (32.55%) and Fe (24.85%). In the end, the storage mechanism of HA-Fe was investigated with ex-situ XPS measurements, and it was found that the C=O and C=C bonds are the activation sites for storage Li ions but have different redox voltages.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are receiving widespread attention due to their abundant resources, low material cost, and high safety. However, the susceptibility of Zn metal anodes to corrosion and hydrogen evolution limits their further practical applications. Replacing Zn metal with intercalation-type anode material and constructing rocking-chair-type batteries could be an effective way to significantly prolong the cycle life of AZIBs. Herein, we present copper selenide with different crystal phase structures through a facile redox reaction as an anode for AZIBs. By comparing and analyzing different copper selenide phases, it is found that the cubic Cu2-xSe shows superior structural stability and highly reversible Zn2+ storage. Theoretical calculation results further demonstrate that the cubic Cu2-xSe possesses an increased electrical conductivity, higher Zn2+ adsorption energy, and reduced diffusion barrier, thereby promoting the storage reversibility and (de)intercalation kinetics of the Zn2+ ion. Thus, the Cu2-xSe anode delivers a long-term service life of over 15 000 cycles and impressive cumulative capacity. Furthermore, the full-cells assembled with the MnO2/CNT cathode operate stably for over 1500 cycles at 6 mA cm-2 at a negative/positive (N/P) capacity ratio of ∼1.53. This work provides a more ideal Zn-metal-free anode, which helps to push the practical applications of AZIBs.

Abstract
Binder-free electrodes offer a great opportunity for developing high-performance sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) aiming at the application in energy storage devices. Tin selenide (SnSe) is considered to be a promising anode material for SIBs owing to its high theoretical capacity (780 mA h g-1). In this work, a SnSe nanosheet array (SnSe NS) on a carbon cloth is prepared using a vacuum thermal evaporation method. The as-prepared SnSe NS electrode does not have metal current collectors, binders, or any conductive additives. In comparison with the electrode of SnSe blocky particles (SnSe BP), the SnSe NS electrode delivers a higher initial charge capacity of 713 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.1C and maintains a higher charge capacity of 410 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles. Furthermore, the electrochemical behaviors of the SnSe NS electrode are determined via pseudocapacitance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, indicating a faster kinetic process of the SnSe NS electrode compared to that of the SnSe BP. Operando X-ray diffraction measurements prove that the SnSe NS exhibits better phase reversibility than the SnSe BP. After the cycles, the SnSe NS electrode still maintains its particular structure. This work provides a feasible method to prepare SnSe nanostructures with high capacity and improved sodium ion diffusion ability.

Abstract
Porous C nanosheet/Cu2S composites were prepared using a simple self-template method and vulcanization process. The Cu2S nanoparticles with an average diameter of 140 nm are uniformly distributed on porous carbon nanosheets. When used as the anode of a potassium-ion battery, porous C nanosheet/Cu2S composites exhibit good rate performance and cycle performance (363 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles; 120 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 1000 cycles). The excellent electrochemical performance of porous C nanosheet/Cu2S composites can be ascribed to their unique structure, which can restrain the volume change of Cu2S during the charge/discharge processes, increase the contact area between the electrode and the electrolyte, and improve the electron/ionic conductivity of the electrode material.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates for next-generation battery technologies owing to their high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and lower diffusion energy barriers. In this work, we use first-principles density functional theory to explore the potential for using a 2D honeycomb lattice of aluminum, referred to as aluminene, as an anode material for metal-ion batteries. The metallic monolayer shows strong adsorption for a range of metal atoms, i.e., Li, Na, K, and Ca. We observe surface diffusion barriers as low as 0.03 eV, which correlate with the size of the adatom. The relatively low average open-circuit voltages of 0.27 V for Li and 0.42 V for Na are beneficial to the overall voltage of the cell. The estimated theoretical specific capacity has been found to be 994 mA h/g for Li and 870 mA h/g for Na. Our research highlights the promise of aluminene sheets in the development of low-cost, high-capacity, and lightweight advanced rechargeable ion batteries.

Abstract
Exploring anode materials with overall excellent performance remains a great challenge for rechargeable Na-ion battery technologies. Herein, we have identified that monolayer TiSi2P4is just such a prospective anode candidate via first-principles calculations. It is showed to be dynamically, thermally, mechanically, and energetically stable, which provides feasibility for experimental realization. The Na diffusion on the its surface is proved to be ultrafast, with a migration energy barrier as low as 73 meV. Electronic structure confirms that the pristine system undergoes a transition from the semiconductor to metal during the whole sodiation process, which is a significant advantage to the electrode conductivity. More excitingly, monolayer TiSi2P4can accommodate up to double-sided 5-layer adatoms, resulting in an ultrahigh theoretical capacity of 1176 mA h g-1and a low average open-circuit voltage of 0.195 V. Moreover, the maximally sodiated electrode monolayer yields rather small in-plane lattice expansion of only 1.40%, which ensures reversible deformation and excellent cycling stability as further corroborated by structural relaxation andab initiomolecular dynamics simulation. Overall, all of these results point to the potential that monolayer TiSi2P4can serve as a promising anode candidate for application in high-performance low-cost Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
NASICON-type NaNbV(PO4)3 electrode material synthesized by the Pechini sol-gel technique undergoes a reversible three-electron reaction in a Na-ion cell which corresponds to the Nb5+/Nb4+, Nb4+/Nb3+, and V3+/V2+ redox processes and provides a reversible capacity of 180 mAh·g-1. The sodium insertion/extraction takes place in a narrow potential range at an average potential of 1.55 V versus Na+/Na. Structural characterization by operando and ex situ X-ray diffraction disclosed the reversible evolution of the NaNbV(PO4)3 polyhedron framework during cycling, while XANES measurements in the operando regime confirmed the multielectron transfer upon sodium intercalation/extraction into NaNbV(PO4)3. This electrode material demonstrates extended cycling stability and excellent rate capability maintaining the capacity value of 144 mAh·g-1 at 10 C current rates. It can be regarded as a superior anode material suitable for application in high-power and long-life sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Cattail-grass-derived porous carbon as high-capacity anode materials were prepared via high-temperature carbonization and activation with KOH. The samples exhibited different structures and morphologies with increasing treatment time.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used for portable electronics and electric vehicles; however, the low capacity in the graphite anode limits the improvement of energy density. Transition-metal selenides are promising anode material candidates due to their high theoretical capacity and controllable structure. In this study, we successfully synthesize a bimetallic transition-metal selenide nanocube composite, which is well embedded in a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (denoted as CoNiSe2/NC). This material shows a high capacity and excellent cycling for Li-ion storage. Specifically, the reversible capacity approaches ∼1245 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. When cycled at 1 A g-1, the capacity still remains at 642.9 mA h g-1 even after 1000 cycles. In-operando XRD tests have been carried out to investigate the lithium storage mechanism. We discover that the outstanding performance is due to the unique CoNiSe2/NC nanocomposite characteristics, such as the synergistic effect of bimetallic selenide on lithium storage, the small particle size, and the stable and conductive carbon structure. Therefore, this morphology structure not only reduces the volume change of metal selenides but also produces more lithium storage active sites and shortens lithium diffusion paths, which results in high capacity, good rate, and long cycling.

Abstract
Traditional lithium-ion batteries cannot meet the ever-increasing energy demands due to the unsatisfied graphite anode with sluggish electrochemical kinetics. Recently, the perovskite material family as anode attracts growing attention due to their advantages on specific capacity, rate capability, lifetime, and safety. Herein, a double perovskite La2 MnNiO6 synthesized by solid-state reaction method as a high-performance anode material for LIBs is reported. La2 MnNiO6 with an average operating potential of <0.8 V versus Li+ /Li exhibits a good rate capability. Besides, the Li|La2 MnNiO6 cells perform long cycle life without decay after 1000 cycles at 1C and a high cycling retention of 93% is observed after 3000 cycles at 6C. It reveals that this material maintains stable perovskite structure with cycling. Theoretical calculations further demonstrate the high electronic conductivity, low diffusion energy barrier, and structural stability of the lithiated La2 MnNiO6 . This study highlights the double perovskite type material as a promising anode for next-generation batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) attract enormous attention because of the urgent demands for high power and energy density devices. However, the intrinsic imbalance between anodes and cathodes with different charge-storage mechanisms blocks the further improvement in energy and power density. MXenes, novel two-dimensional materials with metallic conductivity, accordion-like structure, and regulable interlayer spacing, are widely employed in electrochemical energy storage devices. Herein, we propose a holey Ti3C2 MXene-derived composite (pTi3C2/C) with enhanced kinetics for LICs. This strategy effectively decreases the surface groups (-F and -O) and generates expanded interplanar spacing. The in-plane pores of Ti3C2Tx lead to increased active sites and accelerated lithium-ion diffusion kinetics. Benefiting from the expanded interplanar spacing and accelerated lithium-ion diffusion, the pTi3C2/C as an anode implements excellent electrochemical property (capacity retention about 80% after 2000 cycles). Furthermore, the LIC fabricated with a pTi3C2/C anode and an activated carbon cathode displays a maximum energy density of 110 Wh kg-1 and a considerable energy density of 71 Wh kg-1 at 4673 W kg-1. This work provides an effective strategy to achieve high antioxidant capability and boosted electrochemical properties, which represents a new exploration of structural design and tuneable surface chemistry for MXene in LICs.

Abstract
The high-entropy materials (HEM) have attracted increasing attention in catalysis and energy storage due to their large configurational entropy and multiunique properties. However, it is failed in alloying-type anode due to their Li-inactive transition-metal compositions. Herein, inspired by high-entropy concept, the Li-active elements instead of transition-metal ones are introduced for metal-phosphorus synthesis. Interestingly, a new Znx Gey Cuz Siw P2 solid solution is successfully synthesized as proof of concept, which is first verified to cubic system in F-43m. More specially, such Znx Gey Cuz Siw P2 possesses wide-range tunable region from 9911 to 4466, in which the Zn0.5 Ge0.5 Cu0.5 Si0.5 P2 accounts for the highest configurational entropy. When served as anode, Znx Gey Cuz Siw P2 delivers large capacity (>1500 mAh g-1 ) and suitable plateau (≈0.5 V) for energy storage, breaking the conventional view that HEM is helpless for alloying anode due to its transition-metal compositions. Among them, the Zn0.5 Ge0.5 Cu0.5 Si0.5 P2 exhibits the highest initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) (93%), Li-diffusivity (1.11 × 10-10 ), lowest volume-expansion (34.5%), and best rate performances (551 mAh g-1 at 6400 mA g-1 ) owing to its largest configurational entropy. Possible mechanism reveals the high entropy stabilization enables good accommodation of volume change and fast electronic transportation, thus supporting superior cyclability and rate performances. This large configurational entropy strategy in metal-phosphorus solid solution may open new avenues to develop other high-entropy materials for advanced energy storage.

Abstract
In this paper, a Si@EG composite was prepared by liquid phase mixing and the elevated temperature solid phase method, while polyaniline was synthesized by the in situ chemical polymerization of aniline monomer to coat the surface of nano-silicon and exfoliated graphite composites (Si@EG). Pyrolytic polyaniline (p-PANI) coating prevents the agglomeration of silicon nanoparticles, forming a good conductive network that effectively alleviates the volume expansion effect of silicon electrodes. SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman, TGA and BET were used to observe the morphology and analyze the structure of the samples. The electrochemical properties of the materials were tested by the constant current charge discharge and cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods. The results show that Si@EG@p-PANI not only inhibits the agglomeration between silicon nanoparticles and forms a good conductive network but also uses the outermost layer of p-PANI carbon coating to effectively alleviate the volume expansion of silicon nanoparticles during cycling. Si@EG@p-PANI had a high initial specific capacity of 1491 mAh g-1 and still maintains 752 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1, which shows that it possesses excellent electrochemical stability and reversibility.

Abstract
The reduced graphene oxide/iron oxide (rGO/Fe2O3) and reduced graphene oxide/cobalt oxide (rGO/Co3O4) composite anodes have been successfully prepared through a simple and scalable ball-milling synthesis. The substantial interaction of Fe2O3 and Co3O4 with the rGO matrix strengthens the electronic conductivity and limits the volume variation during cycling in the rGO/Fe2O3 and rGO/Co3O4 composites because reduced graphene oxide (rGO) helps the metal oxides (MOs) to attain a more efficient diffusion of Li-ions and leads to high specific capacities. As anode materials for LIBs, the rGO/Fe2O3 and rGO/Co3O4 composites demonstrate overall superb electrochemical properties, especially rGO/Fe2O3T-5 and rGO/Co3O4T-5, showcasing higher reversible capacities of 1021 and 773 mAhg-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mAg-1, accompanied by the significant rate performance. Because of their superior electrochemical efficiency, high capacity and low cost, the rGO/Fe2O3 and rGO/Co3O4 composites made by ball milling could be outstanding anode materials for LIBs. Due to the excellent electrochemical performance, the rGO/Fe2O3 and rGO/Co3O4 composites prepared via ball milling could be promising anode materials with a high capacity and low cost for LIBs. The findings may provide shed some light on how other metal oxides wrapped by rGO can be prepared for future applications.

Abstract
Although silicon is being researched as one of the most promising anode materials for future generation lithium-ion batteries owing to its greater theoretical capacity (3579 mAh g-1), its practical applicability is hampered by its worse rate properties and poor cycle performance. Herein, a silicon/graphite/amorphous carbon (Si/G/C) anode composite material has been successfully prepared by a facile spray-drying method followed by heating treatment, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance compared with silicon/amorphous carbon (Si/C) in lithium-ion batteries. At 0.1 A g-1, the Si/G/C sample exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 1886 mAh g-1, with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 90.18%, the composite can still deliver a high initial charge capacity of 800 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1, and shows a superior cyclic and rate performance compared to the Si/C anode sample. This work provides a facile approach to synthesize Si/G/C composite for lithium-ion batteries and has proven that graphite replacing amorphous carbon can effectively improve the electrochemical performance, even using low-performance micrometer silicon and large size flake graphite.

Abstract
ZnCo2 O4 has been attracted wide research attention as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in recent years based on its high theoretical specific capacity, low toxicity as well as stable chemical properties. However, the further large-scale application of pristine ZnCo2 O4 anode have been impeded because of its undesirable Li+ ion conductivity, low electronic conductivity, and finite stability of electrolytes at high potentials. Recently, optimizing the micro/nano structure, modification with carbonaceous materials, incorporation with metal oxides and constructing a binder-free structure on conductive substrate for ZnCo2 O4 -based materials have been verified as promising effective routes for solving the above problems. In this review, the recent advances in underlying reaction mechanisms, synthetic methods and strategies for improving the performance of ZnCo2 O4 anodes are comprehensively summarized. The factors affecting the electrochemical properties of ZnCo2 O4 -based materials are mainly discussed, and paths to promote the specific capacity and cyclic stability are proposed. Finally, several insights into the future developments, challenges, and prospects of ZnCo2 O4 -based anode materials of LIBs are proposed.

Abstract
The exfoliation of tridimensional crystal structures has recently been considered a new source of bidimensional materials. The new approach offers the possibility of dramatically enlarging the library of bidimensional materials, but the number of nanolayers produced so far is still limited. Here, we report for the first time the use of a new type of material, α-germanium nanolayers (2D α-Ge). The 2D α-Ge is obtained by exfoliating crystals of α-germanium in a simple one-step procedure assisted by wet ball-milling (gram-scale fabrication). The α-germanium nanolayers have been tested as anode material for high-performance LIBs. The results show excellent performance in semi-cell configuration with a high specific capacity of 1630 mAh g-1 for mass loading of 1 mg cm-2 at 0.1 C. The semi-cell was characterized by a constant current rate of 0.5 C during 400 cycles and different scan rates (0.1 C, 0.5 C, and 1 C). Interestingly, the structural characterization, including Raman spectroscopy, XRPD, and XPS, concludes that 2D α-Ge largely retains its crystallinity after continuous cycling. These results can be used to potentially apply these novel 2D germanium nanolayers to high-performance Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
The attainment of "true reinforcement" in a composite and harnessing of the associated beneficial effects have been demonstrated here through the development of faceted crystalline Sb particles having the interiors reinforced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Such a unique and "near-ideal" micro/nanocomposite architecture has been achieved via a facile/cost-effective route by facilitating heterogeneous nucleation/growth of Sb-oxide particles on/around dispersed rGO sheets upon incorporation of the same directly into the precursor suspension, followed by the reduction of Sb-oxide to Sb, in intimate contact with the rGO, during the subsequent single heat-treatment step. As a potential anode material for Na-ion batteries, the as-developed Sb/rGO composite exhibits a reversible Na-storage capacity of ∼550 mAh/g (@ 0.2 A/g) and a fairly high first cycle Coulombic efficiency (CE) of ∼79%, with the good reversibility being attributed to the coarse particle size of Sb and encompassing of rGO sheets inside the Sb particles. Furthermore, despite the coarse particle size, the Sb/rGO-based electrode exhibits outstanding cyclic stability, with negligible capacity fade up to 150 cycles (viz., ∼97% capacity retention), and rate capability, with >86% capacity being obtained upon raising the current density from 0.1 to 2 A/g, resulting in a capacity of ∼490 mAh/g, even at 2 A/g.

Abstract
We propose that the crystallinity of two-dimensional (2D) materials is a crucial factor for achieving highly effective work function (WF) modification. A crystalline 2D MoO3 monolayer enhances substrate WF up to 6.4 eV for thicknesses as low as 0.7 nm. Such a high WF makes 2D MoO3 a great candidate for tuning properties of anode materials and for the future design of organic electronic devices, where accurate evaluation of the WF is crucial. We provide a detailed investigation of WF of 2D α-MoO3 directly grown on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite, by means of Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). This study underlines the importance of a controlled environment and the resulting crystallinity to achieve high WF in MoO3. UPS is proved to be suitable for determining higher WF attributed to 2D islands on a substrate with lower WF, yet only in particular cases of sufficient coverage. KPFM remains a method of choice for nanoscale investigations, especially when conducted under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Our experimental results are supported by density functional theory calculations of electrostatic potential, which indicate that oxygen vacancies result in anisotropy of WF at the sides of the MoO3 monolayer. These novel insights into the electronic properties of 2D-MoO3 are promising for the design of electronic devices with high WF monolayer films, preserving the transparency and flexibility of the systems.

Abstract
TiNb2O7 has been considered as a promising anode material for next-generation high power lithium ion batteries for its relatively high theoretical capacity, excellent safety and long cycle life. However, the unsatisfactory electrochemical kinetics resulting from the intrinsic sluggish electron transport and lithium ion diffusion of TiNb2O7 limit its wide application. Morphology controlling and carbon coating are two effective methods for improving the electrochemical performance of electrode materials. Herein, an ultrathin carbon-coated porous TiNb2O7 nanosheet (TNO@C) is successfully fabricated by a simple and effective approach. The distinctive sheet-like porous structure can shorten the transport path of ions/electrons and provide more active sites for electrochemical reaction. The introduction of nanolayer carbon can improve electronic conductivity and increase the specific surface area of the porous TiNb2O7 nanosheets. Based on the above synergistic effect, TiNb2O7@C delivers an initial discharge capacity of 250.6 mAh g-1 under current density of 5C and can be maintained at 206.9 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of 82.6%, both of which are superior to that of pure TiNb2O7. These results well demonstrate that TiNb2O7@C is a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
Designing anode materials with high lithium specific capacity is crucial to the development of high energy density lithium (ion) batteries. Herein, a distinctive lithium growth mechanism, namely, the restricted multilayered growth for lithium, and a strategy for lithium storage are proposed to achieve a balance between ultrahigh specific capacity and the need to avert uncontrolled dendritic growth of lithium. In particular, based on first-principles computation, we show that the Al2C monolayer with a planar tetracoordinate carbon structure can be an ideal platform for realizing the restricted multilayered growth mechanism as a two-dimensional (2D) anode material. Furthermore, the Al2C monolayer exhibits the ultrahigh specific capacity of lithium of 4059 mAh/g, yet with a low diffusion barrier of 0.039-0.17 eV and low open circuit voltage in the range of 0.002-0.34 V. These novel properties render the Al2C monolayer a promising anode material for future lithium (ion) batteries. Our study also offers a design of promising 2D anode materials with a high specific capacity, fast lithium-ion diffusion, and safe lithium storage.

Abstract
As a typical two-dimensional layered metal sulfide, MoS2 has a high theoretical capacity and large layer spacing, which is beneficial for ion transport. Herein, a facile polymerization method is employed to synthesize polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes, followed by a hydrothermal method to obtain flower-rod-shaped MoS2/PPy (FR-MoS2/PPy) composites. The FR-MoS2/PPy achieves outstanding electrochemical performance as a sodium-ion battery anode. After 60 cycles under 100 mA g−1, the FR-MoS2/PPy can maintain a capacity of 431.9 mAh g−1. As for rate performance, when the current densities range from 0.1 to 2 A g−1, the capacities only reduce from 489.7 to 363.2 mAh g−1. The excellent performance comes from a high specific surface area provided by the unique structure and the synergistic effect between the components. Additionally, the introduction of conductive PPy improves the conductivity of the material and the internal hollow structure relieves the volume expansion. In addition, kinetic calculations show that the composite material has a high sodium-ion transmission rate, and the external pseudocapacitance behavior can also significantly improve its electrochemical performance. This method provides a new idea for the development of advanced high-capacity anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
With high capacity and suitable working plateau, silicon oxide (SiOx) has become a promising lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode material. However, bare SiOx usually suffers from sluggish electron transport and unsatisfactory cyclability. Composting SiOx with a second phase has become an efficient strategy to tackle the current drawbacks. Herein, a P/SiOx/C ternary composite, featuring sub-5 nm red phosphorus (P) clusters uniformly dispersed in a dense SiOx/C matrix has been constructed through an "inside-out" synthesis strategy. The nanosizing of bulk red P sealed in an organosilica matrix is realized by the high-temperature treatment-driven sublimation/diffusion. With the red P amount of ∼7.53 wt %, the P/SiOx/C ternary composite provides a stable discharge capacity of ∼950 mAh g-1 and also manifests a decent rate capability (510 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1). This study affords a ternary compositing strategy for designing SiOx-based anode materials with desirable electrochemical performance for the next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
Phosphorus-carbon anode materials for alkali-metal ion storage in rechargeable batteries can simultaneously achieve high-energy density and fast charging. The P-C-bonded structure in the phosphorus-carbon materials has been observed and acknowledged to be a critical structural feature that renders improved cycling stability and rate performance. However, the underlying mechanisms, especially the role played by P-C bonds, remain elusive. By combining computational simulations and spectroscopic characterizations, we reveal that the stability of P-C bonds is critical to the electrochemical performance. In the discharge process, P-P bonds are fragile, while the bonding state of the P-C bonds is almost unchanged since electrons were mainly received by the P atoms to form lone pairs. The preserved P-C clusters can effectively serve as a reunion center for the recovery of P-P bonds in the recharging process, leading to a moderate energy change and improved cycling reversibility and structural stability of the phosphorous for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Since uncontrolled lithium (Li) dendrite growth and dendrite-induced dead Li severely limit the development of Li metal batteries, 3D Cu current collectors can effectively alleviate these problems during Li plating/stripping. Herein, one-step galvanostatic electrodeposition method is employed to fabricate a new current collector on Cu foam decorated with large-scale and uniform 3D porous Cu-based nanoflake (NF) structures (abbreviated as 3D Cu NF@Cu foam). This 3D structure with large internal surface areas not only generates lithophilic surface copper oxides and hydroxides as charge centers and nucleation sites for Li insertion/extraction, but also endows abundant space with interlinked NFs for buffering the cell volume expansion and increasing battery performance. As a result, Li-deposited 3D Cu NF@Cu foam current collector can realize stable cycling over 455 cycles with an average Coulombic efficiency of 98.8% at a current density of 1.0 mA cm-2, as well as a prolonged lifespan of >380 cycles in symmetrical cell without short-circuit, which are superior to those of blank Cu foam current collector. This work realizes Li metal anode stabilization by constructing 3D porous Cu NFs current collectors, which can advance the development of Li metal anode for battery industries.

Abstract
Inferior electrical conductivity and large volume variation are two disadvantages of metal selenides. In this work, we have designed a core-shell structure of FeSe2@C composite with low cost using facile hydrothermal method. The FeSe2particles as the 'core' and the carbon layer as the 'shell' displayed good synergistic effect that attributed to alleviate volume expansion of electrode and improving the electrical conductivity, which achieved the fast potassium storage. The core-shell structural FeSe2@C electrode achieved 286 mA h g-1at 1 A g-1over 1000 cycles with 99.8% coulombic efficiency and delivered excellent rate capacity with 273 mA h g-1at 2 A g-1, which was ascribed to dispersed FeSe2particles and the strong carbon shell coating. This work will provide the basis for the further development of the application of metal selenides in the field of flexible electrodes.

Abstract
Silicon (Si)-based anode materials can increase the energy density of lithium (Li)-ion batteries owing to the high weight and volume capacity of Si. However, their electrochemical properties rapidly deteriorate due to large volume changes in the electrode resulting from repeated charging and discharging. In this study, we manufactured structurally stable Fe–Si alloy powders by performing high-energy milling for up to 24 h through the reduction of the Si phase size and the formation of the α-FeSi2 phase. The cause behind the deterioration of the electrochemical properties of the Fe–Si alloy powder produced by over-milling (milling for an increased time) was investigated. The 12 h milled Fe–Si alloy powder showed the best electrochemical properties. Through the microstructural analysis of the Fe–Si alloy powders after the evaluation of half/full coin cells, powder resistance tests, and charge/discharge cycles, it was found that this was due to the low electrical conductivity and durability of β-FeSi2. The findings provide insight into the possible improvements in battery performance through the commercialization of Fe–Si alloy powders produced by over-milling in a mechanical alloying process.

Abstract
Conventional zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are severely hindered by the inherent drawbacks of Zn metal anodes including dendrite growth, side reactions, and interface passivation. Developing intercalation-type anodes to fabricate rocking-chair ZIBs is a promising approach to overcome the above issues. However, the low capacity resulting from the limited transfer electron number of intercalation reactions impedes their practical applications. Herein, we report an effective strategy to break the capacity limit of layered CuS materials as a Zn-metal-free anode through activating its intrinsic conversion reaction. It is found that the preintercalation of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in CuS (CuS@CTMAB) significantly lowers the energy barrier of the conversion reaction, thus realizing a record-breaking capacity (367.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) as a Zn-metal-free anode based on the reversible conversion of Cu2+/Cu0. Theoretical calculation, ex situ microscopy, and spectroscopy results verify that the characteristic stepwise intercalation-conversion reaction route occurred in CuS@CTMAB. Moreover, the moderate structure transformation and good electronic conduction during the phase evolution process led to excellent cycling stability and high rate performance. Consequently, the rocking-chair ZIB full battery system utilizing CuS@CTMAB and Zn2+-preintercalated MnO2 as the anode and cathode, respectively, exhibits exceptional capacity retention of 93.9% up to 8000 cycles at 2 A g-1. Besides, the CuS@CTMAB anode is also compatible with high-voltage Prussian blue cathodes, demonstrating its outstanding practicality.

Abstract
Bulk isocubanite (CuFe2S3) was synthesized via a multistep high-temperature synthesis and was investigated as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries. CuFe2S3 exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance with a capacity retention of 422 mA h g-1 for more than 1000 cycles at a current rate of 0.5 A g-1 (0.85 C). The complex reaction mechanism of the first cycle was investigated via PXRD and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. At the early stages of Na uptake, CuFe2S3 is converted to form crystalline CuFeS2 and nanocrystalline NaFe1.5S2 simultaneously. By increasing the Na content, Cu+ is reduced to nanocrystalline Cu, followed by the reduction of Fe2+ to amorphous Fe0 while reflections of nanocrystalline Na2S appear. During charging up to -5 Na/f.u., the intermediate NaFe1.5S2 appears again, which transforms in the last step of charging to a new unknown phase. This unknown phase together with NaFe1.5S2 plays a key role in the mechanism for the following cycles, evidenced by the PXRD investigation of the second cycle. Even after 400 cycles, the occurrence of nanocrystalline phases made it possible to gain insights into the alteration of the mechanism, which shows that CuxS phases play an important role in the region of constant specific capacity.

Abstract
The high theoretical specific capacity, strong structural designability and relatively inexpensive manufacturing cost make the exploration of organic electrode materials more attractive in recent years. In this article, owing to the large π-conjugated structure, plenty of nitrogen heteroatoms and multiring aromatic system, polyazaacene analogue poly(1,6-dihydropyrazino[2,3 g]quinoxaline-2,3,8-triyl-7-(2H)-ylidene-7,8-dimethylidene) (PQL) was applied as the anode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). PQL was almost insoluble in conventional liquid organic electrolyte (1 M NaClO4 in ethylene carbonate (EC)/dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (v:v=1 : 1) with 5 % fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC)), which strongly improved its cycle stability. The initial discharge capacity was obtained to be 1825 mAh g-1 at the current density of 100 mA g-1 and stabilized at 317 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles with the coulombic efficiency as high as 97 %. It not only showed good rate capability at high current densities (202, 183 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and 1.5 A g-1 ) but also had a superior energy density around 290 Wh kg-1 .

Abstract
Ti2Nb2O9 with a tunnel-type structure is considered as a perspective negative electrode material for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with theoretical capacity of 252 mAh g-1 corresponding to one-electron reduction/oxidation of Ti and Nb, but only ≈160 mAh g-1 has been observed practically. In this work, highly reversible capacity of 200 mAh g-1 with the average (de)lithiation potential of 1.5 V vs Li/Li+ is achieved for Ti2Nb2O9 with pseudo-2D layered morphology obtained via thermal decomposition of the NH4TiNbO5 intermediate prepared by K+→ H+→ NH4+ cation exchange from KTiNbO5. Using operando synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (SXPD), single-phase (de)lithiation mechanism with 4.8% unit cell volume change is observed. Operando X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) experiment revealed simultaneous Ti4+/Ti3+ and Nb5+/Nb4+ reduction/oxidation within the whole voltage range. Li+ migration barriers for Ti2Nb2O9 along [010] direction derived from density functional theory (DFT) calculations are within the 0.15-0.4 eV range depending on the Li content that is reflected in excellent C-rate capacity retention. Ti2Nb2O9 synthesized via the ion-exchange route appears as a strong contender to widely commercialized Ti-based negative electrode material Li4Ti5O12 in the next generation of high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Designing multiphase composition is believed to availably boost the structural integrity and electrochemical properties of sodium-ion battery anodes. Herein, a conceive of nanoflowers, assembled with Bi2S3 nanorods, is demonstrated to construct the multiphase composition involving TiO2 coating and polypyrrole (PPy) encapsulation. Bi2S3 acted as the dominating active material, in consideration of the low content of TiO2, which ensured the high capacity of the composite. The dual-structural restrain of the TiO2 and PPy coatings can effectively alleviate volume variation based on the pseudo-"zero-strain" effect of TiO2 and high flexibility of PPy shells. Meanwhile, the heterointerface greatly enhanced the coupling effect between Bi2S3 and TiO2 and thus improved the electrochemical performance, which was proved by the results of density functional theory calculation and electrochemical tests. Combining the regulation from the Bi2S3/TiO2 heterojunction and the dual-structural restrain effect, the Bi2S3/TiO2@PPy electrode exhibited excellent rate performance and superior cycle stability (275.8 mA h g-1 over 500 cycles at 10 A g-1). This study indicates that designing multiphase composition can be very promising and provides a structural insight to construct high stability in electrodes for sodium-ion batteries.
