The stable storage of sodium ions always presents some difficulties for sodium-based dual-ion batteries (S-DIBs), such as the irreversibility of guest-storage and kinetic hindrance in the anode. Based on the low strain volume and stable phase structure, herein, lithium titanate (LTO, Li4Ti5O12) was developed to store sodium ions between the working potential (∼0.8 V), which expands the lower plateau over than that of lithium ion storage (∼1.55 V) to obtain a high energy density of full batteries. The spinel lithium titanate shows negligible volume change and extremely stable structure under Na+-storage, which completely overcomes the shortage problems of the Na+-host. Additionally, by the detection of the transfer state of anions and cations in dual-ion batteries, the diffusion coefficient of the sodium ion in the LTO electrode is higher than that of the cathode, which shows that the transport process of sodium ions can meet the kinetic demands of full batteries. Such S-DIBs exhibit a large working voltage of 2.0–4.6 V and stable electrochemical performance over 1280 cycles, which is superior to conventional sodium-based systems, and further exhibit many advantages such as high energy density, environmental friendliness, and low cost.

NASICON-type NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 material has been extensively studied as a promising anode for sodium-ion batteries due to the open 3D framework with the large interstitial spaces, high theoretical capacity and small volume change during cycling process. However, the practical application of NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is hampered because of its low electronic conductivity . Herein, a simple approach along with post-annealing has been designed and adopted to prepare the carbon-coated NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C) composite. The as-prepared anode material is characterized by XRD , SEM, TEM and Raman spectrum . The electrochemical measurements reveal that NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 @C has excellent Na-storage performances including high reversible capacity (112.6 mAh g − 1 at 0.2 C) and good rate capability (87.1 mAh g − 1 at 5 C). The superior electrochemical performance can be resulted from the synergistic effects of the nanosized NaTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 particles and conductive carbon layer .

Ultrasmall pure hexagonal phase NaYF4:Yb,Er is successfully prepared via the solvothermal method. The upconversion (UC) luminescence of hexagonal phase NaYF4:Yb,Er nanocrystals is ten times stronger than that of cubic phase nanocrystals with the same size of 6 nm. XRD results reveal that heating above 673 K leads to conversion of the hexagonal phase to the high-temperature cubic phase, whereas the cubic nanocrystals undergo phase transformation from normal cubic at room temperature to hexagonal at 673 K and further to high-temperature cubic above 773 K. The hexagonal nanocrystals exhibit emission enhancement after heat treatment up to 573 K. Further heating above 773 K induces a decreasing trend in emission due to the phase transition to the high-temperature cubic phase. The cubic phase exhibits decreasing luminescence with temperature due to strong cross relaxation and then increasing luminescence above the temperature of 673 K due to the hexagonal phase transformation. The luminescent properties of both the normal cubic phase and high-temperature cubic phase indicate that different crystal fields exist in these two phases due to the rearrangement of ligands around Er3+ at high temperature.

β-Zn4Sb3 is a promising thermoelectric (TE) material, as it contains low-cost and environment-friendly elements. However, its application has long been limited due to the lower figure of merit (ZT), poor mechanical properties, and inferior thermodynamic stability. In this research, we successfully synthesized Na/Ga codoped β-Zn4Sb3 with high thermoelectric performance and stability. The power factor (PF) value of the Ga-doped sample is significantly improved by optimizing carrier concentration, the maximum value of 2.28 × 10–3 W m–1 K–2 is obtained at 690 K, and the maximum ZT reaches 1.73 at 690 K for the Zn4.1Sb3(NaCl)7Ga0.12 sample. Moreover, the TG-DSC and oxidation resistance tests show that Na and Ga codoped β-Zn4Sb3 possess good stability. This work provides an attractive method for improving the thermoelectric properties and stability of β-Zn4Sb3 through diatomic doping.

Herein, we reported two alkali metal molybdenum(VI) iodates, namely, NaMoO 3 (IO 3 ) and γ-KMoO 3 (IO 3 ) with 1D and 3D [MoO 3 (IO 3 )] − anionic architectures, respectively. The novel 1D chain in NaMoO 3 (IO 3 ) and the 3D network in γ-KMoO 3 (IO 3 ) are constructed by the 0D Λ-shaped cis -[MoO 4 (IO 3 ) 2 ] 4− building units interconnected by bridging IO 3 − anions as well as the corner-sharing of oxo anions. Importantly, the polar γ-KMoO 3 (IO 3 ) exhibits a very large second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect of 12 × KH 2 PO 4 (KDP) under 1064 nm laser radiation, a high laser-Induced damage threshold value (52 × AgGaS 2 ), and a moderate birefringence of 0.087@1064 nm, whereas the centrosymmetric NaMoO 3 (IO 3 ) has a large birefringence of 0.208@1064 nm. This study further proves the useful route of exploring promising optical materials via assembling the 0D basic building units into higher dimensional anionic architectures.

P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 is considered a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, its practical application is still hindered by sluggish Na + diffusion kinetics and structural degradation caused by repeated Na + intercalation/deintercalation during cycling. Herein, by transforming the precursor structure from olive-like hierarchical structure to the peanut-like hierarchical structure, and finally to a microsphere-like hierarchical structure, a P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 cathode material with a hollow hierarchical microsphere structure was obtained. This unique structure shortens Na + diffusion pathways, facilitates electrolyte infiltration, and effectively buffers volume variation during cycling. ICP-MS results indicate that the optimized sample has a relatively higher Na content, which may contribute to a higher charge capacity. SEM and XRD analyses after cycling reveal that the hollow hierarchical microsphere cathode suppresses particle fragmentation and structural degradation, while ex-situ XRD confirms its improved structural reversibility during charge/discharge. Intermittent current titration and multi-sweep cyclic voltammetry further demonstrate higher Na + diffusion coefficients. As a result, the optimized cathode delivers 79.3 mA h g −1 at 10C, corresponding to 76% of the capacity at 0.1C, and 75% higher than that of the olive-like cathode. It also achieves stable cycling for 2000 cycles at 5C, with capacity retentions of 87.51%, 76.83%, and 63.67% after 500, 1000, and 2000 cycles.

The role of Na-content on the structural stability and electrochemical performance of P2/O3-type cathode was established. • The structural stability of P2/O3-type Na x Ni 0.23 Mn 0.57 Fe 0.1 Cu 0.1 O 2 cathode is improved by Cu/Fe co-doping. • High Na-content improves the Na⁺ diffusion coefficient as well as rate performance of Na x Ni 0.23 Mn 0.57 Fe 0.1 Cu 0.1 O 2 cathode. P2/O3 biphasic layered oxide cathodes combine the structural stability and fast Na + transport of the P2 phase with the high Na + storage capacity, high operating voltage of the O3 phase. In order to deeply investigate the effect of P2/O3 biphasic composition on the electrochemical performance, Na x Ni 0.23 Mn 0.57 Cu 0.1 Fe 0.1 O 2 samples (NMCF- x ) with the tunable P2/O3 biphasic composition were prepared. The X-ray diffraction results show that the relative ratio of O3 phase increases from 48.53% to 84.46% with increasing Na content from x = 0.70 to x = 0.85. The O3 phase-rich NMCF-0.85 cathode exhibits high rate performance (130.1 and 94.6 mAh g –1 at 0.2C and 5C, respectively) and high capacity retention (69.8% after 500 cycles at 5C). The galvanostatic intermittent titration analysis confirms that the Na + diffusion coefficient reaches as high as 6.99 × 10 –11 cm 2 s –1 . These excellent performances are ascribed to the fact that Cu/Fe co-doping and high Na content suppress the unfavorable P2-O2 phase transition and Na + /vacancy ordering in the NMCF-0.85 when charged to high potential. Thus, this finding can provide profound implications for developing stable layered oxide cathode materials with adjustable P2/O3 biphase for high-energy Na + storage. Cu/Fe co-doping P2/O3 hybrid layered oxide cathodes for SIBs have been prepared through adjusting Na-content, revealing the influence of P2/O3 composition to cycling performance.

Sluggish kinetics and shuttle effects hinder high-energy rechargeable sodium-chalcogen batteries, requiring nanostructured positive electrodes with excess conductive additives. Here, we show that an acidic binder-induced corrosion strategy enables activity in bulk S/Se/Te positive electrodes. Carboxylic acid-rich binders create an acidic microenvironment (pH≈3) during processing, triggering spontaneous formation of copper chalcogenide interlayers on Cu current collectors. These interlayers reconstruct into active Cu 2 X (X = S/Se/Te) catalysts during cycling. Using Na-Se batteries, experimental and DFT analyses confirm Cu 2 Se reduces the liquid-solid conversion barrier by ~24.1% and accelerates polyselenides conversion. Polar groups in the binders enhance chemisorption, reducing the shuttling effect. Consequently, bulk Se with alginic acid binder achieves 96% theoretical utilization at 0.1 A g ‒1 , rate capability of 508 mAh g ‒1 at 20 A g ‒1 , stable cyclability at 5 A g ‒1 over 16,000 cycles, and low-temperature operation at 0.1 A g ‒1 (94% capacity retention at −20 °C). The strategy of transforming binders into active interface modulators provides a generalizable approach for other chalcogens, enabling practical and host-free rechargeable metal batteries with chalcogen positive electrodes.

To address the limitations of TiO 2 as promising material that can provide photocathodic protection (PCP) for metals, a novel technique of photo-assisted electrochemical doping (PED) is developed to prepare Na-doped TiO 2 . Introducing light irradiation during electrochemical doping at an appropriate voltage leads to higher incorporation of sodium into TiO 2 , as well as the generation of more oxygen vacancies and Ti 3+ defects. These changes result in a narrower bandgap, enhanced photogenerated electron-hole separation, and faster electron transfer, ultimately improving the PCP performance of the materials. The mechanism of PED has been analyzed. The Na-doped TiO 2 prepared via PED at the optimal voltage of -1.4 V vs. SCE exhibits a photocurrent density of 180 µA/cm 2 and an open-circuit potential of -0.408 V when coupled with 316 stainless steel (316 SS) in simulated seawater without a hole scavenger. These values provide more effective cathodic protection for 316 SS than those obtained with pristine TiO 2 or with Na-doped TiO 2 prepared via conventional electrochemical doping in the absence of light. This work offers a facile and effective strategy to improve the doping reaction efficiency for preparing Na-doped TiO 2 through electrochemistry method.

P2/O3-type Ni/Mn-based layered oxides are regarded as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) because of their high energy density. However, their practical application is limited by low initial Coulombic efficiency, sluggish Na+kinetics, transition-metal dissolution/migration and irreversible phase transitions during cycling. Herein, a controlled P2 phase was achieved through elemental ratio regulation, enabling systematic synthesis of a series of NaxNi0.4Co0.1Mn0.5O2(x-NCMO) materials with tailored P2/O3 ratios. The optimized composition (x = 0.8), containing 16.6% P2 and 83.4% O3 phases, achieves an optimal phase equilibrium, thereby maximizing the synergistic coupling between the two layered polymorphs. This biphasic architecture demonstrates significantly enhanced Na+transport kinetics and exceptional electrochemical performance, high initial capacity of 168.65 mAh g−1and excellent rate performance, maintaining 84.88 mAh g−1at 10 C, outperforming most reported P2/O3 biphasic cathodes. Structural analysis and electrochemical analysis reveal that elemental ratio regulation modulates the TM–O electronic structure, promotes electronic transport, and accelerates Na+migration. These effects collectively reduce polarization, stabilize the structure, and thereby improve rate capability and long-term cycling capacity retention. This work provides an effective design strategy for designing high-performance layered oxide cathodes with improved structural and interfacial stability.

Photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide from water is regarded as an environmentally benign technology for energy storage and supply. Herein, a disordered K&Na-C 3 N 5 photocatalyst co-intercalated with K + &Na + and modified by cyano/hydroxyl groups is successfully fabricated via alkali-activated thermal-polymerization. Alkali activation effectively anchors cyano and hydroxyl active groups on the surface: hydroxyl groups enhance the material's hydrophilicity and promote proton transfer, while cyano groups exhibit electron-attracting characteristics to localize photogenerated electrons. Simultaneously, interlayer intercalation of K + &Na + forms electron transport channels, synergistically facilitating surface proton transfer and optimizing charge distribution. This multi-component modification strategy significantly enhances the adsorption capacity of O 2 , effectively modulates the 2e − ORR pathway, and improves the selectivity of H 2 O 2 , demonstrating its excellent bifunctional properties. Experimental data show that the optimally alkali-activated K 3 &Na 3 -C 3 N 5 achieves a remarkably high H 2 O 2 production rate of 26,920.49 μmol g −1 ·h −1 — a 90.3-fold increase over unmodified C 3 N 5 . This work pioneers alkali activation as a universal and scalable paradigm for engineering surface-active sites to enable performance amplification through functional group-metal ion cooperativity, and it provides a design blueprint for advanced carbon nitride-based photocatalysts to boost H 2 O 2 fuel cell performance.

Heterostructured anode materials have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their ability to optimize interfacial structures between different components. This design not only facilitates the formation of stable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) films but also enhances the overall electrochemical performance, including battery capacity and cycle stability. In this study, a novel N -doped carbon-modified NiSe 2 /FeSe 2 heterostructure combined with carbon nanotubes (NC@NFS/CNTs) composite was successfully synthesized via co-precipitation and gas-phase selenization. This material was subsequently applied as an anode for Na-ion batteries (NIBs). Based on the synergistic effect of the interfacial properties of the heterostructure and the highly conductive nature of CNTs, the NC@NFS/CNTs composite exhibited excellent electrochemical stability and superior long-term durability. The battery retains a capacity of 332.4 mAh g −1 after 5000 charge/discharge cycles a current density of 5 A g −1 . Moreover, the capacity retention rate remains as high as 77 % even after 10,000 cycles at an ultra-high current density of 40 A g −1 . Ex-situ XPS and XRD analyses, along with low-temperature EIS tests, demonstrate that the Na + storage properties of the NC@NFS/CNTs electrode are significantly enhanced. This improvement is primarily attributed to the heterojunction structure and the presence of highly conductive phases (CNTs and N -doped carbon layers), which effectively improve the electrode’s kinetic performance and enhance the stability of the SEI film.
