Construction of high sulfur loading electrode is one of the effective ways to achieve high specific energy density lithium/sulfur batteries. Therefore, the optimization of polymeric binders has been considered as effective strategy to improve the volume changes of sulfur electrodes during charge/discharge processes. In this work, an effective route for the preparation of three dimensional polymeric binder (PAA-PANI) via multiple hydrogen bonds was developed and fabricated through in situ polymerization between polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyaniline (PANI), which possess bifunctional effects on high sulfur loading cathodes in lithium/sulfur batteries. The carboxyl polar groups of PAA could effectively adsorb polysulfides and the conductive PANI enhance the electronic conductivity of the sulfur electrode. The three dimensional polymeric binder of PAA-PANI has enhanced the active material adhesion, mechanical properties and electronic conductivity, which decreased overpotential polarization, improved the lithium ions diffusion coefficient, and reduced the self-discharge. More importantly, the PAA-PANI functional binder could alleviate the expansion of high sulfur loading electrode. Taking advantages of PAA-PANI binder, the carbon nanotubes modified sulfur electrode (CNTs@S; sulfur content: 84.3 wt%) with PAA-PANI binder exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 906 mAh g –1 at 2.56 mA cm –2 (0.3 C) under a sulfur loading of 5.1 mg cm –2 . Even at higher current density of 8.54 mA cm –2 (1 C), the PAA-PANI binder electrode delivers a high capacity of 846 mAh g –1 . Moreover, with an extremely high areal sulfur loading of 17 mg cm –2 , the cathode shows an areal specific capacity of 16.7 mAh cm –2 .

Mixed-valence states can bring unexpected unique phenomena, especially novel anisotropic physics, due to structural asymmetry, which originate from the discrepant distribution of atoms with different valence. This study reports an unexploited mixed-valence-driven quasi-1D Sn II Sn IV S 3 crystal, which exhibits widely and distinctively anisotropic polarized-light absorption reaching ≈3.4 from the deep ultraviolet to near-infrared region (250–850 nm). The fabricated polarization-sensitive photodetectors based on highly air-stable Sn II Sn IV S 3 nanowires display strong linear dichroism among the UV–vis–NIR spectrum with responsivity exceeding ≈150 A W −1 . Furthermore, the devices are further constructed onto a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and the photoresponse remains roughly unchanged after repeated bending. This work based on novel mixed-valence-driven quasi-1D ternary sulfide Sn II Sn IV S 3 excites interest in low-symmetry semiconductors for developing broadly spectral polarization-sensitive photodetectors with environmental stability and mechanical flexibility.

The combination of high conductivity and good stability against Li is not easy to achieve for solid electrolytes , hindering the development of high energy solid-state batteries . In this study, doped electrolytes of Li 3 P 1- x Sb x S 4-2.5 x O 2.5 x are successfully prepared via the high energy ball milling and subsequent heat treatment . Plenty of techniques like XRD , Raman, SEM, EDS and TEM are utilized to characterize the crystal structures, particle sizes, and morphologies of the glass-ceramic electrolytes. Among them, the Li 3 P 0.98 Sb 0.02 S 3.95 O 0.05 ( x = 0.02) exhibits the highest ionic conductivity (∼1.08 mS cm −1 ) at room temperature with an excellent stability against lithium. In addition, all-solid-state lithium batteries are assembled with LiCoO 2 as cathode, Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li 3 P 0.98 Sb 0.02 S 3.95 O 0.05 as the bi-layer electrolyte, and lithium as anode. The constructed solid-state batteries delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 133 mAh g −1 at 0.1C in the range of 3.0–4.3 V vs. Li/Li + at room temperature, and shows a capacity retention of 78.6% after 50 cycles. Most importantly, the all-solid-state lithium batteries with the Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li 3 P 0.98 Sb 0.02 S 3.95 O 0.05 electrolyte can be workable even at −10 °C.

To further demonstrate the advantages of our ZIF-67 derived materials, asymmetric energy storage device was assembled (HCSN//NC), where the as-prepared HCSN was employed as the anode and ZIF-67-derived nanoporous carbon (noted as NC) as the cathode. This device achieves high energy density (80 Wh kg −1 at a specific power density of 882 W kg −1 ), good rate capability (53.3 Wh kg −1 even at a specific power density of 7.9 kW kg −1 ) and long-term stability up to 10,000 cycles. More importantly, it could simultaneously light up 12 LEDs in parallel, demonstrating its potential in practical applications.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have received increasing attention due to their unprecedented potential for energy-efficient gas separation. Compared with other MOF materials (like ZIF), fabrication and microstructural manipulation of high-performance Ti-MOF-based membranes, although being very attractive due to their excellent chemical and thermal stability, remained relatively less investigated due to the limitations of available titanium sources and heating modes. In this study, different Ti sources (TPOT, TiS 2 , and MXene) and heating modes (conventional heating, multi-mode microwave heating, and single-mode microwave heating) were examined for the preparation of NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes showing diverse microstructures and gas separation performances. The present work revealed that for the first time, MXene , the new two-dimensional Ti carbide , could be used as Ti source for synthesizing MOF membranes. The best performing NH 2 -MIL-125 membranes, which were obtained with TiS 2 as the metal source under single-mode microwave heating, exhibited the highest H 2 /CO 2 selectivity (ca. 17.2) as well as considerable H 2 permeance (1.7 × 10 −7 mol m −2 s −1 Pa −1 ), owing to an enhanced non-thermal effect of single-mode microwave heating and balanced dissolution rate of TiS 2 .

High energy density Li-CO 2 batteries have attracted much attention owing to the “two birds with one stone” feature in fixing greenhouse gas CO 2 and providing renewable energy. However, poor reversibility of the discharge product Li 2 CO 3 is one of the main problems that limit its application, resulting in poor cycling stability and severe polarization. Herein, copper indium sulfide (CIS), a semiconducting non-precious metal sulfide, is fabricated as cathode catalysts for high-performance Li-CO 2 batteries. Combined with the synergistic effect of bimetallic valence bonding and coordinated electron transfer, Li-CO 2 batteries using CIS cathodes exhibit high full specific discharge capacity, excellent rate capability and cycle stability, namely it delivers a high specific full discharge capacity of 8878 μAh cm −2 , runs steadily from 10 to 100 μA cm −2 , and performs a stable long-term cycling behavior (>1050 h) under a high energy efficiency of 84% and a low charge voltage of approximately 3.4 V at 20 μA cm −2 within 100 μAh cm −2 . In addition, a flexible Li-CO 2 pouch cell is constructed to reveal the potential of employing CIS to fabricate flexible high energy storage devices in practical applications. This work shows a promising development pathway toward next-generation sustainable energy storage devices.

Antimony (Sb) is an attractive anode material for lithium-ion batteries with high theoretical capacity. However, its practical application is greatly hindered by the rapid capacity fading due to the large volume expansion during lithiation. Tuning the morphology of active materials at the nanoscale or designing reasonable components is essential to address this issue. Employing an antimony sulfide nanorod as semi-sacrificial template, here, we successfully synthesize one-dimensional MoS 2 sheets-decorated Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C(MoS 2 -Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C) nano-structure via facile thermal carbonization of Mo-polypyrrole complex coating film. During annealing, metallic Sb from the partial reduction of Sb 2 S 3 nanorods is embedded into amorphous carbon nanotubes that are derived from polypyrrole and simultaneously MoS 2 nanosheets forms on the surface of Sb-Sb 2 S 3 -C nanostructures. This unique hierarchical tubular composite not only can serve as robust skeleton frameworks for accommodating volume changes of metallic Sb and Sb 2 S 3 during cell cycling, but also are characterized by high electronic conductivity (because of the amorphous carbon nanotubes and metallic Sb) and abundant active sites, both of which are beneficial for the improvement of Li-ion storage properties. As expected, the MoS 2 -Sb@Sb 2 S 3 @C composite exhibit a high specific capacity (1596 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 ), high rate capability (481 mAh g −1 at 5 A g −1 and 355 mAh g −1 at 8 A g −1 ), and stable cycling performance (760 mAh g −1 maintained after 100 cycles at 1 A g −1 ). Our work potentially sheds some light on future development of alloy-type anodes for battery applications.

Lithium–sulfur batteries, as one of promising next-generation energy storage devices, hold great potential to meet the demands of electric vehicles and grids due to their high specific energy. However, the sluggish kinetics and the inevitable “shuttle effect” severely limit the practical application of this technology. Recently, design of composite cathode with effective catalysts has been reported as an essential way to overcome these issues. In this work, oxygen-deficient ferric oxide (Fe 2 O 3− x ), prepared by lithiothermic reduction, is used as a low-cost and effective cathodic catalyst. By introducing a small amount of Fe 2 O 3− x into the cathode, the battery can deliver a high capacity of 512 mAh g −1 over 500 cycles at 4 C, with a capacity fade rate of 0.049% per cycle. In addition, a self-supporting porous S@KB/Fe 2 O 3− x cathode with a high sulfur loading of 12.73 mg cm −2 is prepared by freeze-drying, which can achieve a high areal capacity of 12.24 mAh cm −2 at 0.05 C. Both the calculative and experimental results demonstrate that the Fe 2 O 3− x has a strong adsorption toward soluble polysulfides and can accelerate their subsequent conversion to insoluble products. As a result, this work provides a low-cost and effective catalyst candidate for the practical application of lithium–sulfur batteries.

Layered 2D semiconductors, such as graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are receiving intensive attention owing to their great performance in electronic and optoelectronic application during the past few years. Among them, SnS has similar anisotropy to black phosphorus and high photoresponse in the near infrared range, rendering it as an ideal candidate for infrared photodetectors. In this work, large-size (up to 330 µm) and high-quality single-crystalline SnS nanoplates are synthesized successfully via controlled chemical vapor deposition technique and characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, confocal Raman system, atomic force microscope, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Photodetectors based on as-grown SnS nanoplates are fabricated with back-gated field effect transistors (FETs) configuration, exhibiting a high mobility of 17.1 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . Photodetectors based on the SnS FETs demonstrate excellent optoelectronic performance both in visible and near-infrared spectral range. Typically, photoresponsivity of 197.7 A W −1 , photoresponse time of 39 ms, and external quantum efficiency of 6.06 × 10 4 % are exhibited under the irradiation of 405 nm laser. The wide response range and ultrahigh sensitivity make the large-area single crystal SnS nanoplate a promising candidate for future application in optoelectronics.

A new method for synthesizing freestanding PbS-CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (MAPI) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with enhanced light absorption and photoelectric properties was reported. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analysis confirmed the core-shell structure of the obtained sample. The Vis-NIR spectra proved the core-shell sample absorbed light both in visible and near infrared region . For comparison, oleic acid/oleylamine molecule capping PbS NPs, MAPI molecule capping PbS NPs, and PbS-MAPI core-shell NPs were used to fabricate Schottky solar cells. PbS-MAPI core-shell NPs based solar cells delivered a photocurrent response from both the PbS and MAPI, and achieved the highest overall PCE.

Sulfide solid state electrolytes capture much attention owing to their high conductivity and decent mechanical property. Nevertheless, the moisture instability and poor interfacial compatibility against lithium metal anode remain challenging and hinder the practical application. Herein, we report a novel indium (In) doping strategy based on the hard-soft-acid-base theory to tackle these issues. Optimized Li 7 P 2.9 S 10.9 In 0.1 electrolyte exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 4.1 × 10 −3 S cm −1 and achieves an enhanced interfacial compatibility. Importantly, as In partially replaces the phosphorus (P), the amount of released hydrogen sulfide can be significantly decreased and the air stability is improved. The all-solid-state battery assembled with the Li 7 P 2.9 S 10.9 In 0.1 electrolyte demonstrates a high discharge capacity and a good cycling stability under a high current density of 1.0 C. This work provides a practical and effective method to design sulfide-based solid-state electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and enhanced air stability for all-solid-state battery applications.
