Abstract
Millions of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on nickel-rich layered oxide (NRLO) cathodes, and they suffer from a limited driving range and safety concerns. Increasing the Ni content is a key way to boost the energy densities of LIBs and alleviate the EV range anxiety, which are, however, compromised by the rapid performance fading. One unique challenge lies in the worsening of the microstructural stability with a rising Ni-content in the cathode. In this review, we focus on the latest advances in the understanding of NLRO microstructures, particularly the microstructural degradation mechanisms, state-of-the-art stabilization strategies, and advanced characterization methods. We first elaborate on the fundamental mechanisms underlying the microstructural failures of NRLOs, including anisotropic lattice evolution, microcracking, and surface degradation, as a result of which other degradation processes, such as electrolyte decomposition and transition metal dissolution, can be severely aggravated. Afterwards, we discuss representative stabilization strategies, including the surface treatment and construction of radial concentration gradients in polycrystalline secondary particles, the fabrication of rod-shaped primary particles, and the development of single-crystal NRLO cathodes. We then introduce emerging microstructural characterization techniques, especially for identification of the particle orientation, dynamic changes, and elemental distributions in NRLO microstructures. Finally, we provide perspectives on the remaining challenges and opportunities for the development of stable NRLO cathodes for the zero-carbon future.

Abstract
The increasing requirements for wearable and portable electronics are driving the interests of high performance fiber supercapacitor. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is broadly used in electrode materials, owing to the adjustability of components and the unique lamellar structure. However, limited active sites and poor electrical conductivity hinder its applications. Herein, the core-shell heterostructured Ni(OH)2@activation Zn-Co-Ni layered double hydroxides (Ni(OH)2@A-ZnCoNi-LDH) electrode was fabricated by loading pseudocapacitance material on the A-ZnCoNi-LDH to improve the electrochemical performance. Significantly, benefits from the synergistic effect of the multi-metal ions and the core-shell heterostructure, the electrodes demonstrated a capacitance of 2405 mF·cm-2 at 1 mA·cm-2. Furthermore, Ni(OH)2@A-ZnCoNi-LDH was used as the core electrode and carbon nanotube (CNT) film coated with Fe2O3@reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was wrapped around the core electrode to assemble coaxial fiber asymmetric supercapacitor, which illustrated an ultrahigh energy density of 177.7 µWh·cm-2 at 0.75 mW·cm-2. In particular, after consecutive charging and discharging 7000 cycles, the capacitance retention of the device was 95 %, indicating the excellent cycling stability. Furthermore, the device with high flexibility can be woven into textiles in different shapes. The fabricated device has an excellent development prospect as an energy source in wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
All-solid lithium (Li) metal batteries (ASSLBs) with sulfide-based solid electrolyte (SEs) films exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, rendering them capable of satisfying the growing demand for energy storage systems. However, challenges persist in the application of SEs film owing to their reactivity with Li metal and uncontrolled formation of lithium dendrites. In this study, iodine-doped poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) as an interlayer (PHI) to establish a stable interphase between Li metal and Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl) films is investigated. The release of I ions and PVDF-HFP produces LiI and LiF, effectively suppressing lithium dendrite growth. Density functional theory calculations show that the synthesized interlayer layer exhibits high interfacial energy. Results show that the PHI@Li/LPSCl film/PHI@Li symmetrical cells can cycle for more than 650 h at 0.1 mA cm-2. The PHI@Li/LPSCl film/NCM622 cell exhibits a distinct enhancement in capacity retention of ≈26% when using LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NCM622) as the cathode, compared to pristine Li metal as the anode. This study presents a feasible method for producing next-generation dendrite-free SEs films, promoting their practical use in ASSLBs.

Abstract
Dramatic growth of lithium dendrite, structural deterioration of LiCoO2 (LCO) cathode at high voltages, and unstable electrode/electrolyte interfaces pose significant obstacles to the practical application of high-energy-density LCO||Li batteries. In this work, a novel eutectogel electrolyte is developed by confining the nonflammable eutectic electrolyte in a polymer matrix. The eutectogel electrolyte can construct a robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with inorganic-rich LiF and Li3N, contributing to a uniform Li deposition. Besides, the severe interface side reactions between LCO cathode and electrolyte can be retarded with an in situ formed protective layer. Correspondingly, Li||Li symmetrical cells achieve highly reversible Li plating/stripping over 1000 h. The LCO||Li full cell can maintain 72.5% capacity after 1500 cycles with a decay rate of only 0.018% per cycle at a high charging voltage of 4.45 V. Moreover, the well-designed eutectogel electrolyte can even enable the stable operation of LCO at an extremely high cutoff voltage of 4.6 V. This work introduces a promising avenue for the advancement of eutectogel electrolytes, the nonflammable nature and well-regulated interphase significantly push forward the future application of lithium metal batteries and high-voltage utilization of LCO cathode.

Abstract
Due to low cost and high energy density, sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have attracted growing interest, with great potential to power future electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile electronics, which require rapid charge/discharge capability. However, the development of high-rate SMBs has been impeded by the sluggish Na+ ion kinetics, particularly at the sodium metal anode (SMA). The high-rate operation severely threatens the SMA stability, due to the unstable solid-electrolyte interface (SEI), the Na dendrite growth, and large volume changes during Na plating-stripping cycles, leading to rapid electrochemical performance degradations. This review surveys key challenges faced by high-rate SMAs, and highlights representative stabilization strategies, including the general modification of SMB components (including the host, Na metal surface, electrolyte, separator, and cathode), and emerging solutions with the development of solid-state SMBs and liquid metal anodes; the working principle, performance, and application of these strategies are elaborated, to reduce the Na nucleation energy barriers and promote Na+ ion transfer kinetics for stable high-rate Na metal anodes. This review will inspire further efforts to stabilize SMAs and other metal (e.g., Li, K, Mg, Zn) anodes, promoting high-rate applications of high-energy metal batteries towards a more sustainable society.

Abstract
Li-rich manganese-based oxide (LRMO) cathode materials are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high specific capacity (250 mAh g-1) and low cost. However, the inevitable irreversible structural transformation during cycling leads to large irreversible capacity loss, poor rate performance, energy decay, voltage decay, etc. Based on the recent research into LRMO for LIBs, this review highlights the research progress of LRMO in terms of crystal structure, charging/discharging mechanism investigations, and the prospects of the solution of current key problems. Meanwhile, this review summarizes the specific modification strategies and their merits and demerits, i.e., surface coating, elemental doping, micro/nano structural design, introduction of high entropy, etc. Further, the future development trend and business prospect of LRMO are presented and discussed, which may inspire researchers to create more opportunities and new ideas for the future development of LRMO for LIBs with high energy density and an extended lifespan.

Abstract
Silicon-based materials have been considered potential anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries based on their high theoretical capacity and low working voltage. However, side reactions at the Si/electrolyte interface bring annoying issues like low Coulombic efficiency, sluggish ionic transport, and inferior temperature compatibility. In this work, the surface Al2 O3 coating layer is proposed as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which can serve as a physical barrier against the invasion of byproducts like HF(Hydrogen Fluoride) from the decomposition of electrolyte, and acts as a fast Li-ion transport pathway. Besides, the intrinsically high mechanical strength can effectively inhibit the volume expansion of the silicon particles, thus promoting the cyclability. The as-assembled battery cell with the Al2 O3 -coated Si-C anode exhibits a high initial Coulombic efficiency of 80% at RT and a capacity retention ratio up to ≈81.9% after 100 cycles, which is much higher than that of the pristine Si-C anode (≈74.8%). Besides, the expansion rate can also be decreased from 103% to 50%. Moreover, the Al2 O3 -coated Si-C anode also extends the working temperature from room temperature to 0 °C-60 °C. Overall, this work provides an efficient strategy for regulating the interface reactions of Si-based anode and pushes forward the practical applications at real conditions.

Abstract
Functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) were currently demonstrated to regulate plant behavior in the agricultural and environmental areas. However, their regulation mechanisms on the interactions of plant-soil system during phytoremediation remain unrevealed. Here, Solanum nigrum L. was employed to explore the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms regulated by FCNs in the phytoremediation of Cd-Pb co-contaminated soils. The mediation of FCNs on metal removal and plant growth showed a hormesis manner, wherein the maximum induction effect was contributed by 15 mg kg-1 FCNs. Cd/Pb removal were enhanced by 8.5% and 31.6%, respectively. Moreover, FCNs reallocate metal distribution in plant by immobilized metals in roots and suppressed metal translocation to leaves. Improving plant growth (by 82.8% for root), stimulating plant hormesis, and activating plant detoxification pathways are the intrinsic mechanism for the phytoremediation smartly regulated by FCNs. Notably, FCNs induced soil enzyme activities that associated with soil nutrients recycling, up-regulated the microbial diversity and the soil immune system, and regulated S. nigrum L. to recruit beneficial microbials in the rhizosphere. The above-mentioned comprehensive improvement of soil micro-environment is the extrinsic mechanism regulated by FCNs. This study provides new insights to evaluate the interactions of nanomaterials with plant-soil system under soil contamination.

Abstract
Low-cost, safe, and environmental-friendly rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising as next-generation energy storage devices for wearable electronics among other applications. However, sluggish ionic transport kinetics and the unstable electrode structure during ionic insertion/extraction hamper their deployment. Herein, a new cathode material based on a layered metal chalcogenide (LMC), bismuth telluride (Bi2 Te3 ), coated with polypyrrole (PPy) is proposed. Taking advantage of the PPy coating, the Bi2 Te3 @PPy composite presents strong ionic absorption affinity, high oxidation resistance, and high structural stability. The ZIBs based on Bi2 Te3 @PPy cathodes exhibit high capacities and ultra-long lifespans of over 5000 cycles. They also present outstanding stability even under bending. In addition, here the reaction mechanism is analyzed using in situ X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and computational tools and it is demonstrated that, in the aqueous system, Zn2+ is not inserted into the cathode as previously assumed. In contrast, proton charge storage dominates the process. Overall, this work not only shows the great potential of LMCs as ZIB cathode materials and the advantages of PPy coating, but also clarifies the charge/discharge mechanism in rechargeable ZIBs based on LMCs.

Abstract
High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have been showing great promise in a wide range of applications. There remains a lack of clarity regarding the influence of nanostructure and composition on their Li storage performance. Herein, a dealloying technique to synthesize hierarchical nanoporous HEOs with tunable compositions is employed. Building upon the extensively studied quinary AlFeNiCrMnOx , an additional element (Co, V, Ti, or Cu) is introduced to create senary HEOs, allowing for investigation of the impact of the added component on Li storage performance. With higher specific surface areas and oxygen vacancy concentrations, all their HEOs exhibit high Li storage performances. Remarkably, the senary HEO with the addition of V (AlNiFeCrMnVOx ) achieves an impressive capacity of 730.2 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 , which surpasses all reported performance of HEOs. This result demonstrates the synergistic interaction of the six elements in one HEO nanostructure. Additionally, the battery cycling-induced reconstruction and cation diffusion in the HEOs is uncovered, which results in an initial capacity decrease followed by a subsequent continuous capacity increase and enhanced Li ion diffusion. The results highlight the crucial roles played by both nanoporous structure design and composition optimization in enhancing Li storage of HEOs.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLBs) employing silicon (Si) anode and sulfide electrolyte attract much attention, since they can achieve both high energy density and safety. For large-scale application, sheet-type Si anode matching sulfide based ASSLBs is preferred. Here, a LiAlO2 layer coated Si (Si@LiAlO2 ) is reported for sheet-type electrode. This electrode employs conventional slurry coating methods without adding any sulfide electrolyte. The effect of LiAlO2 coating on the electrochemical performance and morphology evolution of Si electrode is investigated. Since the high mechanical strength and ionic conductivity of LiAlO2 layer can sufficiently relieve the huge expansion of Si and promote the Li+ diffusion, the electrochemical performance is significantly enhanced. The Si@LiAlO2 electrodes deliver high coulombic efficiency exceeding 80% and hold considerable specific capacity of 1205 mAh g-1 (150 cycles, 0.33 C). The Si@LiAlO2 | LiNi0.83 Co0.11 Mn0.06 O2 full-cells exhibit a high reversible capacity of 147 mAh g-1 (0.28 mA cm-2 ) and a considerable capacity retention of 80.2% (62 cycles, 2.8 mA cm-2 ). This work demonstrates promising practicability and provides a new route for the scalable preparation of Si electrode sheets for ASSLBs with extended lifespan.

Abstract
Silicon oxide (SiOx ), inheriting the high-capacity characteristic of silicon-based materials but possessing superior cycling stability, is a promising anode material for next-generation Li-ion batteries. SiOx is typically applied in combination with graphite (Gr), but the limited cycling durability of the SiOx /Gr composites curtails large-scale applications. In this work, this limited durability is demonstrated in part related to the presence of a bidirectional diffusion at the SiOx /Gr interface, which is driven by their intrinsic working potential differences and the concentration gradients. When Li on the Li-rich surface of SiOx is captured by Gr, the SiOx surface shrinks, hindering further lithiation. The use of soft carbon (SC) instead of Gr can prevent such instability is further demonstrated. The higher working potential of SC avoids bidirectional diffusion and surface compression thus allowing further lithiation. In this scenario, the evolution of the Li concentration gradient in SiOx conforms to its spontaneous lithiation process, benefiting the electrochemical performance. These results highlight the focus on the working potential of carbon as a strategy for rational optimization of SiOx /C composites toward improved battery performance.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates to power flexible integrated functional systems because they are safe and environmentally friendly. Among the numerous cathode materials proposed, Mn-based compounds, particularly MnO2, have attracted special attention because of their high energy density, nontoxicity, and low cost. However, the cathode materials reported so far are characterized by sluggish Zn2+ storage kinetics and moderate stabilities. Herein, a ZIB cathode based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-coated MnSe nanoparticles (MnSe@rGO) is proposed. After MnSe was activated to α-MnO2, the ZIB exhibits a specific capacity of up to 290 mAh g-1. The mechanism underlying the improvement in the electrochemical performance of the MnSe@rGO based electrode is investigated using a series of electrochemical tests and first-principles calculations. Additionally, in situ Raman spectroscopy is used to track the phase transition of the MnSe@rGO cathodes during the initial activation, proving the structural evolution from the LO to MO6 mode. Because of the high mechanical stability of MnSe@rGO, flexible miniaturized energy storage devices can be successfully printed using a high-precision electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printer and integrated with a touch-controlled light-emitting diode array system, demonstrating the application of flexible EHD jet-printed microbatteries.

Abstract
Considering functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) are potential to be applied in many areas, their risk and toxicity to organisms are imperative to be evaluated. Thus, this study conducted acute toxicity test of zebrafish (Danio rerio) at embryonic and adult stage to estimate the toxicity of FCNs. Results show that the toxic effects of FCNs and nitrogen doped FCNs (N-FCNs) at their 10% lethal concentration (LC10) values on zebrafish are expressed in developmental retardation, cardiovascular toxicity, renal damage and hepatotoxicity. There are interactive relationships between these effects, but the main reason should be ascribed to the undesirable oxidative damage induced by high doses of materials, as well as the biodistribution of FCNs and N-FCNs in vivo. Even so, FCNs and N-FCNs can promote the antioxidant activity in zebrafish tissues to cope with the oxidative stress. FCNs and N-FCNs are not easy to cross the physical barriers in zebrafish embryos or larvae, and can be excreted from intestine by adult fish, which proves their biosecurity to zebrafish. In addition, because of the differences in physicochemical properties, especially nano-size and surface chemical property, FCNs show higher biosecurity to zebrafish than N-FCNs. The effects of FCNs and N-FCNs on hatching rates, mortality rates and developmental malformations are dose-dependent and time-dependent. The LC50 values of FCNs and N-FCNs on zebrafish embryo at 96 hpf are 1610 mg/L and 649 mg/L, respectively. According to the Acute Toxicity Rating Scale of the Fish and Wildlife Service, the toxicity grades of FCNs and N-FCNs are both defined as "practically nontoxic", and FCNs are "Relatively Harmless" to embryos because their LC50 values are above 1000 mg/L. Our results prove the biosecurity of FCNs-based materials for future practical application.

Abstract
Anchoring single metal atom to carbon supports represents an exceptionally effective strategy to maximize the efficiency of catalysts. Recently, dual-atom catalysts (DACs) emerge as an intriguing candidate for atomic catalysts, which perform better than single-atom catalysts (SACs). However, the clarification of the polynary single-atom structures and their beneficial effects remains a daunting challenge. Here, atomically dispersed triple Zn-Co-Fe sites anchored to nitrogen-doped carbon (ZnCoFe-N-C) prepared by one-step pyrolysis of a designed metal-organic framework precursor are reported. The atomically isolated trimetallic configuration in ZnCoFe-N-C is identified by annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopic techniques. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of trimetallic single atoms, nitrogen, and carbon, ZnCoFe-N-C exhibits excellent catalytic performance in bifunctional oxygen reduction/evolution reactions in an alkaline medium, outperforming other SACs and DACs. The ZnCoFe-N-C-based Zn-air battery exhibits a high specific capacity (liquid state: 931.8 Wh kgZn -1 ), power density (liquid state: 137.8 mW cm-2 ; all-solid-state: 107.9 mW cm-2 ), and good cycling stability. Furthermore, density-functional theory calculations rationalize the excellent performance by demonstrating that the ZnCoFe-N-C catalyst has upshifted d-band center that enhances the adsorption of the reaction intermediates.

Abstract
SiOx anode has a more durable cycle life than Si, being considered competitive to replace the conventional graphite. SiOx usually serves as composites with carbon to achieve more extended cycle life. However, the carbon microstructure dependent Li-ion storage behaviors in SiOx /C anode have received insufficient attention. Herein, this work demonstrates that the disorder of carbon can determine the ratio of inter- and intragranular Li-ion diffusions. The resulted variation of platform characteristics will result in different compatibility when matching SiOx . Rational disorder induced intergranular diffusion can benefit phase transition of SiOx /C, benefiting the electrochemical performance. Through a series of quantitative calculations and in situ X-ray diffraction characterizations, this work proposes the rational strategy for the future optimization, thus achieving preferable performance of SiOx /C anode.

Abstract
Sulfide-based solid electrolytes are considered ideal materials for all-solid-state Li metal batteries owing to their high ion conductivity and satisfactory mechanical stiffness. However, the interfacial reaction between the sulfide electrolyte membrane and Li anode severely limits the commercial application of such membranes. Herein, a lithium iodide (LiI) layer is synthesized at the Li metal-sulfide electrolyte membrane interface via chemical vapor deposition. The synthesized LiI layer exhibits satisfactory ionic conductivity and high interfacial energy, as confirmed via density functional theory calculations. Consequently, the LiI@Li/Li6PS5Cl membrane/LiI@Li symmetric cell can cycle for >150 h at 0.1 mA cm-2. The as-prepared all-solid-state batteries exhibit a high discharge capacity of 107 mA h g-1 and an excellent capacity retention of 76% after 800 cycles at 1 C. This work offers a simple and effective method to improve the interface between the Li anode and sulfide electrolyte membranes that facilitates the mass production and practical application of high-energy-density sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
The development of electrolytes with high safety, high ionic conductivity, and the ability to inhibit lithium dendrites growth is crucial for the fabrication of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries. In this study, a ternary eutectic electrolyte is designed with LiTFSI (TFSI = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide), butyrolactam (BL), and succinonitrile (SN). This electrolyte exhibits a high ion conductivity, nonflammability, and a wide electrochemical window. The competitive solvation effect among SN, BL, and Li+ reduces the viscosity and improves the stability of the eutectic electrolyte. The preferential coordination of BL toward Li+ facilitates the formation of stable solid electrolyte interphase films, leading to homogeneous and dendrite-free Li plating. As expected, the LiFePO4/Li cell with this ternary eutectic electrolyte delivers a high capacity retention of 90% after 500 cycles at 2 C and an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.8%. Moreover, Ni-rich LiNi0.8Co0.1Al0.1O2/Li and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2/Li cells based on the modified ternary eutectic electrolyte achieve an outstanding cycling performance. This study provides insights for understanding and designing better electrolytes for lithium metal batteries and analogous sodium/potassium metal batteries.

Abstract
Tin chalcogenides are regarded as promising anode materials for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) due to their considerable specific capacity. However, the severe volume effect, limited electronic conductivity, and the shuttle effect of the potassiation product restrict the application prospect. Herein, based on the metal evaporation reaction, a facile structural engineering strategy for yolk-shell SnSe encapsulated in carbon shell (SnSe@C) is proposed. The internal void can accommodate the volume change of the SnSe core and the carbon shell can enhance the electronic conductivity. Combining qualitative and quantitative electrochemical analyses, the distinguished electrochemical performance of SnSe@C anode is attributed to the contribution of enhanced capacitive behavior. Additionally, first-principles calculations elucidate that the heteroatomic doped carbon exhibits a preferable affinity toward potassium ions and the potassiation product K2 Se, boosting the rate performance and capacity retention consequently. Furthermore, the phase evolution of SnSe@C electrode during the potassiation/depotassiation process is clarified by in situ X-ray diffraction characterization, and the crystal transition from the SnSe Pnma(62) to Cmcm(63) point group is discovered unpredictably. This work demonstrates a pragmatic avenue to tailor the SnSe@C anode via a facile structural engineering strategy and chemical regulation, providing substantial clarification for the phase evolution mechanism of SnSe-based anode for PIBs.

Abstract
High salinity and alkalinity of saline-alkali soil lead to soil deterioration, the subsequent osmotic stress and ion toxicity inhibited crops growth and productivity. In this research, 8 mg kg-1 and 16 mg kg-1 functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) can alleviate the adverse effects of saline-alkali on tomato plant at both seedling and harvest stages, thanks to their up-regulation effects on soil properties and plant physiological processes. On one hand, FCNs stimulate the plant potential of tolerance to saline-alkali and disease resistance through triggering the defense response of antioxidant system, enhancing the osmotic adjustment, promoting the nutrient uptake, transportation and utilization, and up-regulating the photosynthesis, thereby improve tomato growth and productivity in saline-alkali soils. On the other hand, FCNs application contributes to the improvement of soil physicochemical properties and fertilities, as well as decline soil salinity and alkalinity, which are related to plant growth and fruit quality. This research also focuses on the dose-dependent effects of FCNs on their regulation effects and toxicity to tomato growth under stress or non-stress. These findings recommend that FCNs could be applied as potential amendments to ameliorate the saline-alkali soil and improve the tomato tolerance and productivity in the Yellow River Delta.

Abstract
SiOx-based anode materials are considered to be promising and have been gradually commercialized due to their high specific capacity as well as the acceptable volume change during lithiation/delithiation and preferable cycling stability compared to that of Si. Nevertheless, their inherently low Coulombic efficiency hinders the large-scale application. Up to now, researchers have paid much attention to the initial Coulombic efficiency and developed a series of effective prelithiation strategies. However, the subsequent cycles (focusing on the 2nd to 10th), during which the SiOx anode suffers great lithium consumption as well, have received scarcely any concerns. In this work, a strategy of high-temperature (50 °C) initial charge after an overcapacity prelithiation for a SiOx-based full-cell battery is proposed. As high temperature can promote the reaction between lithium and the SiO2 matrix of SiOx, SiO2 will experience a one-step thorough reduction rather than gradual conversion in subsequent cycles, improving the subsequent Coulombic efficiencies (SCEs) accordingly. Overcapacity prelithiation can be achieved safely at 50 °C without Li metal depositon, just enough to meet the more initial lithium demand of anode at 50 °C. Furthermore, the initial deeper reduction of SiO2 will release extra Si, improving the reversible capacity consequently. With the 50 °C initial charge after an overcapacity prelithiation, the full-cell battery exhibits considerable capacity retention as expected. This work raises concerns on SCEs of SiOx-based anode innovatively, providing a feasible avenue for improving the capacity retention of a SiOx-based full-cell battery.

Abstract
The biotoxicity and environmental applications of carbon nanomaterials have always been the focus of research. In this research, functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) show high promotion effects on regulating the growth, development and yield of tomato under drought stress, due to their up-regulation effects on the physiological processes of plants including photosynthesis, antioxidant system, osmotic adjustment, as well as soil amelioration in physicochemical properties and microbial environment during vegetative and reproductive growth stage. The reduction of tissue water content and water use efficiency are moderated by FCNs through improving root vigor and osmolytes (soluble sugar and proline) level, which contributes to maintain the enzyme function, photosynthesis and nutrient uptake in plant. FCNs regulate the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant system to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit the lipid peroxidation, thus protect the membrane structure and function of plant cells under stress. FCNs up-regulate soil microbial communities under drought stress by regulating the soil pH, enzyme activity, organic carbon and organic matters contents. Our results prove that FCNs are biological friendly to plant growth and soil environment under drought stress, thus exhibit potential as emendator to promote plant tolerance and improve agricultural productivity in water-deficient areas.

Abstract
A novel amide-based nonflammable electrolyte is proposed. The formation mechanism and solvation chemistry are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory. An inorganic/organic-rich solid electrolyte interphase with an abundance of LiF, Li3N and Li-N-C is in situ formed, leading to spherical lithium deposition. The amide-based electrolyte can enable stable cycling performance at room temperature and 60 ℃. The formation of lithium dendrites and the safety hazards arising from flammable liquid electrolytes have seriously hindered the development of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries. Herein, an emerging amide-based electrolyte is proposed, containing LiTFSI and butyrolactam in different molar ratios. 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropylether and fluoroethylene carbonate are introduced into the amide-based electrolyte as counter solvent and additives. The well-designed amide-based electrolyte possesses nonflammability, high ionic conductivity, high thermal stability and electrochemical stability (> 4.7 V). Besides, an inorganic/organic-rich solid electrolyte interphase with an abundance of LiF, Li3N and Li-N-C is in situ formed, leading to spherical lithium deposition. The formation mechanism and solvation chemistry of amide-based electrolyte are further investigated by molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory. When applied in Li metal batteries with LiFePO4 and LiMn2O4 cathode, the amide-based electrolyte can enable stable cycling performance at room temperature and 60 ℃. This study provides a new insight into the development of amide-based electrolytes for lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is one of the effective, economic and green approaches to cope with the increasing worldwide heavy metal (HM) pollution. Here, we evaluate the effects of functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) against the hyperaccumulation capacity as well as the physiological and genetic responses of water hyacinth under Pb2+ or/and Cd2+ stress. The bioaccumulation efficiency, HM content and transfer factor, biomass, root development, chlorophyll content, antioxidant system and genes expression are investigated at various concentration of HMs. Based on the excellent adsorption capacity and plant growth regulation ability, FCNs and nitrogen doped FCNs (N-FCNs) cooperate with water hyacinth to improve their HMs removal efficiencies. FCNs and N-FCNs immobilize excess HMs ions in plant, smartly regulate enzymatic levels to mitigate oxidative damage, as well as regulate the microelement uptake and related gene expression, thus improve plant tolerance against HMs stress. Although Pb and Cd have antagonistic effects on bioaccumulation of water hyacinth to the single metal, FCNs and N-FCNs can cooperate with water hyacinth to raise the removal efficiency of HMs in water, and enhance plant tolerance under Pb-Cd combined stress. The promotion effects of FCNs and N-FCNs on phytoremediation are more effective than conventional carbon nanomaterials, including carbon nanotubes and graphene oxides. These findings demonstrate that the application of FCNs or N-FCNs can improve the phytoremediation efficiency in the restoration of HMs contaminated water area. This study provides important insights into the possibility of using FCNs-based nanomaterials and water hyacinth as synergistic system for remediation of Cd-Pb contaminated water area.

Abstract
Atomic-level structure engineering is an effective strategy to reduce mechanical degradation and boost ion transport kinetics for battery anodes. To address the electrode failure induced by large ionic radius of K+ ions, herein we synthesized Mn-doped ZnSe with modulated electronic structure for potassium ion batteries (PIBs). State-of-the-art analytical techniques and theoretical calculations were conducted to probe crystalline structure changes, ion/electron migration pathways, and micromechanical stresses evolution mechanisms. We demonstrate that the heterogeneous adjustment of the electronic structure can relieve the potassiumization-induced internal strain and improve the structural stability of battery anodes. Our work highlights the importance of the correlation between doping chemistry and mechanical stability, inspiring a pathway of structural engineering strategy toward a highly stable PIBs.

Abstract
Functional carbon nanodots (FCNs) with multiple chemical groups have great impact on the growth regulation of plants. To understand the role of the chemical groups, FCNs were reduced from the raw material by pyrolysis method and hydrolysis method. The chemical structure of these materials were characterized by using TGA, TEM, FT-IR, XPS, Raman and elementary analysis. The raw and reduced FCNs were used as plants growth regulators in culture medium of Arabidopsis thaliana. Our results indicate there is a strong correlation between the physiological responses of plants and the surface chemistries (especially carboxyl group and ester group) of the nanomaterials. The quantum-sized FCNs with multiple carboxyl groups and ester groups show better aqueous dispersity and can induce various positive physiological responses in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings compared with the FCNs decorated without carboxyl and ester as well as aggregated FCNs. The raw FCNs present higher promotion capacity in plants biomass and roots length, and the quantum-sized FCNs are easier to be absorbed by plants and generate more positive effects on plants.

Abstract
Conversion-alloying type anode materials like metal sulfides draw great attention due to their considerable theoretical capacity for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, poor conductivity, severe volume change, and harmful aggregation of the material during charge/discharge lead to unsatisfying electrochemical performance. Herein, a facile and green strategy for yolk-shell structure based on the principle of metal evaporation is proposed. SnS2 nanoparticle is encapsulated in nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanobox (SnS2 @C). The carbon nanoboxes accommodate the volume change and aggregation of SnS2 during cycling, and form 3D continuous conductive carbon matrix by close contact. The well-designed structure benefits greatly in conductivity and structural stability of the material. As expected, SnS2 @C exhibits considerable capacity, superior cycling stability, and excellent rate capability in both SIBs and PIBs. Additionally, in situ Raman technology is unprecedentedly conducted to investigate the phase evolution of polysulfides. This work provides an avenue for facilely constructing stable and high-capacity metal dichalcogenide based anodes materials with optimized structure engineering. The proposed in-depth electrochemical measurements coupled with in situ and ex situ characterizations will provide fundamental understandings for the storage mechanism of metal dichalcogenides.

Abstract
Activated carbon was prepared from soybean dregs using chemical activation by zinc chloride. The influence of activation parameters such as impregnation ratio, activation temperature and carbonization time was investigated. The physicochemical properties of activated carbon were characterized using SEM, FTIR, BET and TGA, respectively. The effect factors including pH, contact time, temperature and dose on the adsorption properties of methylene blue onto activated carbon were studied. The adsorption equilibrium data of methylene blue onto activated carbon were well fitted to the Langmuir model, giving a maximum adsorption capacity of 255.10 mg/g. It indicates that activated carbon is a promising adsorbent for removing methylene blue from aqueous solution. The kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic.The effect of temperature on MB adsorbed by AC shows that the equilibrium adsorption capacity increases with increasing temperature from 303 to 323 K. Increasing adsorption capacities with temperature indicate that the adsorption of MB onto AC is controlled by an endothermic reaction.

Abstract
Amphoteric nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) that prepared environmentally friendly have rich functional groups, such as carboxyl, amino, hydroxyl, carbonyl, etc. Through electrostatic attraction and complexation between the chemical groups and metal ions, N-CDs present excellent adsorption capacity for Cd2+ in heavy polluted water with the saturated adsorption weight of 559 mg g-1. The investigation of interaction between N-CDs, Cd2+ and Arabidopsis thaliana reveals that N-CDs (from 4 mg kg-1 to 8 mg kg-1) can dramatically enhance Cd bioaccumulation of plants by 58.3% of unit biomass and 260% of individual seedling when the plants were cultivated for 10 days under Cd stress (from 10 mg kg-1 to 50 mg kg-1). Simultaneously, N-CDs significantly alleviate the toxicity caused by high Cd stress on Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings growth. N-CDs induce higher germination rate (maximum: 2.5-fold), higher biomass (maximum: 3.7-fold), better root development (maximum: 1.4-fold), higher photosynthetic efficiency and higher antioxidant capacity in plants under Cd stress. When the Cd and N-CDs concentration are respective 20 mg kg-1 and 4 mg kg-1, the enzyme activities of the catalase and peroxidase increased to 2.73-fold and 1.45-fold, respectively. This research prove the potential application of amphoteric N-CDs in phytoremediation because N-CDs greatly mitigate the growth retardation of plant caused by Cd2+ even with the extremely increased Cd2+ concentration in vivo.

Abstract
Rechargeable Li-air (O2) batteries have attracted a great deal of attention because of their high theoretical energy density and been regarded as a promising next-generation energy storage technology. Among numerous obstacles to Li-air (O2) batteries preventing their use in practical applications, water is a representative impurity for Li-air (O2), which could hasten the deterioration of the anode and accelarate the premature death of cells. Here, we report an effective in situ high-current pretreatment process to enhance the cycling performance of Li-O2 batteries in a wet tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether-based electrolyte. With the help of certain levels of H2O (from 100 to 2000 ppm) in the electrolyte, adequate Li2O formed on the lithium anode surface after high-current pretreatment, which is necessary for a robust and uniform solid electrolyte interphase layer to protect Li metal during the long-term discharge-charge cycling process. This in situ high-current pretreatment method in a wet electrolyte is shown to be an effective approach for enhancing the cycling performance of Li-O2 batteries with a stable Li metal anode and promoting the realization of practical Li-air batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries (LOBs) with extremely high theoretical energy density have been regarded as a promising next-generation energy storage technology. However, the limited cycle life, undesirable corrosion, and safety hazards are seriously limiting the practical application of the lithium metal anode in LOBs. Here, we demonstrate a rational design of the Li-Al alloy (LiAlx) anode that successfully achieves ultralong cycling life of LOBs with stable Li cycling. Through in situ high-current pretreatment technology, Al atoms accumulates, and a stable Al2O3-containing solid electrolyte interphase protective film formed on the LiAlx anode surface to suppress side reactions and O2 crossover. The cycling life of LOB with the protected LiAlx anode increases to 667 cycles under a fixed capacity of 1000 mA h g-1, as compared to 17 cycles without pretreatment. We believe that this in situ high-current pretreatment strategy presents a new vision to protect the lithium-containing alloy anodes, such as Li-Al, Li-Mg, Li-Sn, and Li-In alloys for stable and safe lithium metal batteries (Li-O2 and Li-S batteries).

Abstract
The application of graphene oxide in water treatment is facing a rigorous challenge of how to separate nanoadsorbents from aqueous solution using conventional methods after adsorption. Herein, a new type of easily separated composite was fabricated using cellulose acetate (CA) crosslinked with graphene oxide (CAGO) and a simple vacuum freeze-drying method. The CAGO composites were subject to SEM, FTIR, TGA, and BET characterizations. The adsorption performance of the adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) was evaluated through investigating the experimental parameters such as initial dye concentration, temperature, adsorbent dose, contact time, and solution pH. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied to fit the equilibrium data. The maximum adsorption capacity of methylene blue onto the CAGO-4 composite was 374.53 mg/g at 323 K. The kinetic data showed a good determination with pseudo-second-order equation. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption was an endothermic and spontaneous process.

Abstract
High efficient adsorption of radioiodine in nuclear waste has attracted extensive attentions all over the world. In this work, we fabricated sulfur and nitrogen co-doped graphene aerogels (SN-GA) through one-step hydrothermal method, and investigated its iodine adsorption behavior including adsorption kinetics and isotherms in water. Our results reveal that SN-GA exhibits a 3D porous architecture with thiophene-S, oxidized-S, pyridine-N, pyrrole-N and graphite-N co-doped into the sp2 carbon frameworks. The adsorption experiment showed SN-GA has a maximum iodine adsorption capacity of 999 mg g-1 determined by Langmuir isotherm, and the adsorption process could be better described by the pseudo-second-order model.

Abstract
Potassium- (PIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries owing to the low cost and abundance of K and Na resources. However, the large radius of K+ and Na+ lead to sluggish kinetics and relatively large volume variations. Herein, a surface-confined strategy is developed to restrain SnS2 in self-generated hierarchically porous carbon networks with an in situ reduced graphene oxide (rGO) shell (SnS2 @C@rGO). The as-prepared SnS2 @C@rGO electrode delivers high reversible capacity (721.9 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 ) and superior rate capability (397.4 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 ) as the anode material of SIB. Furthermore, a reversible capacity of 499.4 mAh g-1 (0.05 A g-1 ) and a cycling stability with 298.1 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 were achieved in PIBs, surpassing most of the reported non-carbonaceous anode materials. Additionally, the electrochemical reactions between SnS2 and K+ were investigated and elucidated.

Abstract
Recently, perovskite solar cells have attracted great attention because of their outstanding photovoltaic performance and ease of fabrication. High-quality perovskite films hold a key in getting highly efficient perovskite solar cells. Solution-processed fabrication technique is the most widely adopted for preparing perovskite films because of its low cost. In the solution-proceed perovskite films, solvents not only play the role of dissolving the solute but also participate in the crystallization of perovskite. In the one-step method, solvents play key roles in controlling morphology, widening process window, and achieving room-temperature crystallization of perovskite films. In addition, the solvents play important roles in controlling the nuclei/growth, suppressing volume expansion during the two-step method. Especially, the solvent can induce grain coarsening during the annealing process. A deep understanding of the multiplicity of roles during the formation of perovskite films will help understand the formation mechanism of perovskite films. Here, a systematic review on the progress in fabrication of high-quality perovskite films by making use of solvent to control the crystallization is presented. Meanwhile, we elucidate the key roles of solvent in the fabrication of high-quality perovskite films.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are considered favorable candidates for post-lithium-ion batteries, a quality attributed to their low cost, abundance as a resource, and high working potential (-2.93 V for K+/K). Owning to its relatively low potassiation potential and high theoretical capacity, antimony (Sb) is one of the most favorable anodes for KIBs. However, the large volume changes during K-Sb alloying and dealloying causes fast capacity degradation. In this report, nanoporous Sb (NP-Sb) is fabricated by an environmentally friendly vacuum-distillation method. The NP-Sb is formed via evaporating low-boiling-point zinc (Zn). The byproduct Zn can be recycled. It is further found that the morphology and porosity can be controlled by adjusting Zn-Sb composition and distillation temperature. The nanoporous structure can accommodate volume expansion and accelerate ion transport. The NP-Sb anode delivers an improved electrochemical performance. These results suggest that the vacuum-distillation method may provide a direction for the green, large-scale, and tunable fabrication of nanoporous materials.
