As potential candidates, metal sulfides display strong storage abilities but suffer from serious volume swelling and polysulfide shuttling. Especially rich-sulfur materials, inferior reversible conversion reactions (from MS 2 to MS with S) can bring about major formation of sulfur. Herein, cubic-like Sn–Co–S materials with SnO 2 as catalyst are designed with various dimensional carbon. The as-resulted samples display uniform distributed particle size (≈5 µm), while cross-linked Sn–Co–S@carbon is successfully formed due to its rich surficial groups. Significantly, the formation of chemical bonds about Sn/Co–S–C is noted, facilitating ions/e-transfering and architecture enhancing. Meanwhile, owing to the endothermic effect of carbon, SnO 2 finally resulted, effectively limiting the so-called “shuttling effect” of polysulfide. Utilized as sodium-ion anodes, the optimized samples can deliver a capacity of 490 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and ≈400 mAh g −1 above at 5.0 A g −1 . Assisted by the detailed kinetic analysis, it can be confirmed that the improvements of surface-controlling behaviors mainly come from the interfacial chemical bonds and strong-polar metal-oxides bonds. This work is expected to illustrate the roles of interfacial design and metal oxide catalysts for advanced energy storage materials.

In this study, to enhance the peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-assisted photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light over BiVO 4 , g-C 3 N 4 coupling and Na + doping was used to co-modify BiVO 4 to obtain g-C 3 N 4 /Na-BiVO 4 (CN/Na-BiVO 4 ) heterojunction catalyst. The prepared CN/Na-BiVO 4 exhibited the apparently enhanced PMS-assisted photocatalytic TC degradation efficiency and can degrade approximately 98.20% of TC in 40 min, being 3.13 folds of BiVO 4 . The boosted TC degradation over CN/Na-BiVO 4 was ascribed to the Z-scheme heterojunction formation, doped Na + , more V 4+ and oxygen vacancies resulting from Na + doping facilitate the electron-hole pairs migration and separation. Meanwhile, more V 4+ and oxygen vacancies generated in Na-BiVO 4 also promoted the PMS activation . Therefore, a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), including •O 2 − , h + , •OH, SO 4 •− , and 1 O 2 , were produced in CN/Na-BiVO 4 +PMS+Vis system to degrade TC. The mechanism of enhanced PMS-assisted photocatalytic degradation of TC was proposed. This work further highlighted the advantages of the PMS-assisted photocatalytic technology in antibiotics removal and also demonstrated that g-C 3 N 4 coupling and Na doping co-modify BiVO 4 was one effective and feasible method for promoting the PMS-assisted photocatalytic degradation of TC under visible light.

Necklace-box structural FeS 2 /WS 2 carbon nano-composite fibers (NB FeS 2 /WS 2 -CNFs) are fabricated by electrospinning-sulfuration-hydrothermal process. NB FeS 2 /WS 2 -CNFs exhibit the spatial confined structure, which is able to restrain volume expansion effectively in the process of Na + intercalation/deintercalation and improve the cycling stability and rate performance. NB FeS 2 /WS 2 -CNFs exhibit remarkable initial coulombic efficiency (ICE = 87.0%) and stable long cycle (~422.6 mA h g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 after 500 cycles) for sodium storage capability. The heterojunction interface between FeS 2 and WS 2 can alleviate the damage of the micro-crystal plane and enhance electrochemical kinetic process. The structure evolution and mechanism of sodium storage are explored by ex-situ methods, which further confirm the spatial and interface confinement effect distinctly. In addition, the electrochemical kinetic properties of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are compared, thereby revealing the energy storage mechanism and different ion migration modes of the three batteries. This work provides a guide for the synthesis of bimetallic compounds based on the spatial confinement and heterojunction interface confined strategy that efficiently improves energy storage performance of electrode material.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) has become a hot material in the research field of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a result of its unique structural advantages. Unfortunately, the poor electronic conductivity and ion diffusion ability fundamentally limit the practical development of NVP. Considering the above defects, a series of Li + doped Na 3−x Li x V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C cathode materials for SIBs are synthesized through hydrothermal assisted sol–gel method. The cell volume steadily decline with the raise of Li + doping amount, which is consistent with the usual doping effect. Moreover, with the increase of lithium doping amount, Li + preferentially occupies Na (2) site and then occupies Na (1) site. Through the first principles calculation, it is clear that the introduction of Li + can significantly reinforce the conductivity of the material system and diminish the electron localization phenomenon. The analysis of (1 1 6) crystal plane by TEM shows that Li doping will reduce the interplanar spacing. The change of V valence during the charge–discharge process of Na 2.8 Li 0.2 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C is consistent with that of NVP by V element XANES characterization. There is no conventional phase transition phenomenon in the ex-situ XRD high-voltage charging state. The above facts indicate that lithium doping obtains a stable solid solution NVP. The electrochemical test results show that Na 2.8 Li 0.2 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C can provide an amazing reversible capacity of 116.9 mAh/g (theoretical capacity of 117 mAh/g) and capacity retention rate of 99.82 % after 500 cycles. GITT results show that Li + can significantly increase the Na + diffusion coefficient of the material. Such excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the fact that the doping of Li + activates the activity of Na + in Na (2) site and improves the reaction efficiency.

Na-ion batteries are considered as promising battery systems for large-scale energy storage. Although Na-ion batteries exhibit enhanced low-temperature cycling performance compared with lithium-ion batteries, there is still a great challenge to overcome for practical low-temperature applications. In this work, we propose a low-performance Na-ion battery composed of FeNi co-doped Mn-based Prussian cathode (FeNi-MnHCF) and a low-concentration electrolyte (0.5 mol L −1 ) containing a small amount of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acetate (ETFA, 1 wt%). The introduction of ETFA could decrease the viscosity , increase ionic conductivity and change the solvation structure of the electrolyte at low temperature. ETFA could also participate in constructing a uniform, stable, and Na-ion conductive CEI layer, enabling rapid Na-ion transport and effective protection of FeNi-MnHCF. The cells with the ETFA-contained electrolyte and FeNi-MnHCF cathode exhibit excellent rate capability and long cycle life at low temperature. When being cycled at −20 °C, the cell with ETFA could retain 92.1 % of the capacity after 1120 cycles at 1 C. The cell could also show stable cycling after overcharge to 4.8 V or overdischarge to 1.2 V at −20 °C. This work sheds light on the design of long-life and robust Na-ion batteries for sustainable energy storage at low temperature.

Sponge-like three-dimensional porous carbon-encapsulated Na3.32Fe2.34(P2O7)2 nanoparticles (labeled to NFPO@SC) were manufactured by a sol–gel method followed by multistage calcinations and utilized as the cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. The excellent electrochemical performance of the NFPO@SC cathode can be attributed to its unique porous structure, which facilitates electrolyte penetration, reduces the diffusion path of sodium ions, and increases electronic conductivity. In addition, the full battery is assembled by NFPO@SC and hard carbon, which are employed as cathode and anode electrodes, respectively. The full battery delivers a high discharge capacity (112.2 mA h g–1 at 0.5 C) and maintains 93.9% stable capacity over 1000 cycles at 5 C.

Overlithiated oxide cathode materials show high capacity but poor cycle stability and voltage attenuation. In this work, a concentration difference driven molten salt ion exchange strategy is used to replace a small quantity of lithium ions by sodium ions. With the entry of sodium ions, the interplanar spacing is increased and the structure is stabilized. The electrochemical properties of materials have been improved obviously. The powder X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy are used to detect the entry of sodium ions and structural changes. The modified materials display high discharge specific capacity, excellent cycling performance, and reduced voltage attenuation.

Yolk-shell-structured transition metal sulfides (TMSs)/carbon nanocomposites are highly desirable in advanced energy storage system, such as sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs). Nevertheless, practical applications are still prevented by the loose attachment of TMSs with carbon caused by conversion stress, the aggregation of TMSs nanoparticles and the sluggish ion transport caused by high crystallinity of carbon. Here, the disperse hollow Co 9 S 8 nanoparticles encapsulated into N,S-codoped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with poor crystallinity through Co N C bond was synthesized (CS-NSCNT) to overcome the above obstacles. The designed CS-NSCNT can provide the short diffusion path and prevent the huge volume expansion of conversion reaction. Moreover, the established Co N C bond endows the strong interaction and regulates the electronic structure thus promote the stability and rate performance effectively. The CS-NSCNT SCs’s electrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 1150 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 , with a high cycling life stability and rate performance. For SIBs, the CS-NSCNT cathode demonstrates an initial reversible capacity of 475 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and an excellent rate performance with a capacity retention of 53 % at 10 A g −1 . This work may satisfy the long-stability, high-capacitance/capacity, high-power/energy density application requirements of future applications.

Two-dimensional (2D) graphitic-C3N4 (g-C3N4) was successfully hybridized with one-dimensional (1D) flux-grown Na-modified K2Ti6O13 nanobelts (Na-K2Ti6O13 NBs) for the first time to construct novel 1D/2D Na-K2Ti6O13/g-C3N4 heterostructured photocatalysts using a facile mixing–calcination method. The heterostructured Na-K2Ti6O13/g-C3N4 composites with three-dimensional (3D) hybrid architectures exhibited a remarkably enhanced photocatalytic efficiency for organic pollutant degradation in comparison with pure Na-K2Ti6O13 and g-C3N4 under both simulated sunlight and visible-light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), which could be mainly attributed to the synergistic effects between Na-K2Ti6O13 and g-C3N4 including more efficient interfacial charge transfer, longer lifetimes and the stronger oxidation and reduction ability of photogenerated charge carriers, fundamentally originating from the formation of Na-K2Ti6O13/g-C3N4 heterojunctions based on the well-matched energy-band structures. Moreover, the Na-K2Ti6O13/g-C3N4 hybrids showed good stability and reusability for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Finally, the possible mechanisms responsible for the improved simulated sunlight and visible-light photocatalytic performance were also investigated, respectively, based on the results of PL spectra, time-resolved fluorescence decay spectra, radical species trapping experiments, ESR spectra and PL-TA measurements. Overall, this work will not only be beneficial for the design and development of more efficient visible-light-responsive g-C3N4-based composites for solar energy conversion and environmental remediation but will also be influential in optimizing the visible-light photocatalytic activity of wide-band-gap 1D titanate nanomaterials to meet the requirements of practical applications.

An adduct of myrcene and maleic anhydride (AMMA) was synthesized using a Diels-Alder reaction. The adduct was transformed into the corresponding sodium , calcium salt and zinc salts (Na-AMMA, Ca-AMMA, and Zn-AMMA) using a metathesis reaction . The chemical structures of AMMA, Na-AMMA, Ca-AMMA, and Zn-AMMA were confirmed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Mixed Ca/Na/Zn salts from AMMA provided thermal stabilization for poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC). The thermal and mechanical properties of the PVC samples were investigated using discoloration and Congo red tests, scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM), thermal gravity analysis (TGA), TGA–FTIR analysis, thermal gravity-mass spectrometer analysis (TGA-MS), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Optimal design of the Ca/Na/Zn-AMMA formulation was studied. The application of Ca/Na/Zn-AMMA in an optimized formulation for a biobased, primary thermal stabilizer for PVC could significantly improve PVC thermal stability. The optimized Ca/Na/Zn-AMMA formulation had higher thermal stability, higher storage modulus , and lower glass transition temperatures than PVC blends without any thermal stabilizers and using commercial CaSt 2 /ZnSt 2 . The weights of the Ca/Na/Zn-AMMA samples were 33.3–75.0% that of CaSt 2 /ZnSt 2 , but provided higher thermal stability. Myrcene-derived Ca/Na/Zn-AMMA was shown to have strong potential as a primary PVC thermal stabilizer.

O3-type layered oxide cathodes (NaxTMO2) for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted significant attention as one of the most promising potential candidates for practical energy storage applications. The poor Na+ diffusion kinetics is, however, one of the major obstacles to advancing large-scale practical application. Herein, we report bismuth-doped O3-NaNi0.5Mn0.5O2 (NMB) microspheres consisting of unique primary nanoplatelets with the radially oriented {010} active lattice facets. The NMB combines the advantages of the oriented and exposed electrochemical active planes for direct paths of Na+ diffusion, and the thick primary nanoplatelets for less surface parasitic reactions with the electrolyte. Consequently, the NMB cathode exhibits a long-term stability with an excellent capacity retention of 72.5% at 1C after 300 cycles and an enhanced rate capability at a 0.1C to 10C rate (1C = 240 mA g–1). Furthermore, the enhancement is elucidated by the small volume change, thin cathode-electrolyte-interphase (CEI) layer, and rapid Na+ diffusion kinetics. In particular, the radial orientation-based Bi-doping strategy is demonstrated to be effective at boosting electrochemical performance in other layered oxides (such as Bi-doped NaNi0.45Mn0.45Ti0.1O2 and NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2). The results provide a promising strategy of utilizing the advantages of the oriented active facets of primary platelets and secondary particles to develop high-rate layered oxide cathodes for SIBs.

Lithium silicate (Li 4 SiO 4 ) sorbent has garnered attention in CO 2 capture due to its high theoretical adsorption capacity and fast kinetics. However, its adsorption capacity and kinetics were hindered by low CO 2 concentration. Improving adsorption performance of Li 4 SiO 4 at low CO 2 concentration has become the key to industrial application. In this work, high-activity Na-doped Li 4 SiO 4 with controllable active substance Li 3 NaSiO 4 was achieved. The influences of raw materials ratios on the CO 2 adsorption performance were systematically investigated. When R Li/Si =4.05:1 and R Na/Si =0.15:1, the sample exhibited the highest adsorption capacity of 32.28 wt% with an equilibrium time of 29 min, and a superior stable capacity of 31.09 wt% in 15 cycles. Importantly, the double exponential fitting revealed that LiNaCO 3 accelerated the ion diffusion rate and real-time adsorption processes showed Li 3 NaSiO 4 expedited surface chemical reaction rate. Based on these, a novel Na 2 CO 3 eutectic doping mechanism was proposed. The active substance Li 3 NaSiO 4 , generated through Na doping, along with its product formed from the reaction with CO 2 , molten LiNaCO 3 , acted synergistically to improve adsorption performance by accelerating surface chemical reaction rate and ion diffusion rate. Compared with other doped Li 4 SiO 4 , the sorbent prepared in this work demonstrated competitive adsorption performance, providing theoretical and technical support for the large-scale production of high-activity Li 4 SiO 4 .
