“…The abundance of plate-like configuration with 2D feature is in favor of offering abundant electrochemical channels and active sites for rapid ionic activation and diffusion. [30,31] Interplanar distance of all samples at 0.32 nm corresponding to the (311) plane was further confirmed via the high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) (insets in Figure 1k-n). As a comparison, the interplanar distance of XIn 2 S 4 is slightly smaller than that of In 2.77 S 4 owing to the larger ionic radius Figure 2a displays the cyclic voltammetry (CV) profiles of the FeIn 2 S 4 at 0.1 mV s −1 .…”

Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have been the primary source of energy storage for electronic, equipment, and grid storage. [1][2][3][4] However, the shortage of Li resources and the increasing costs have brought concerns for the future development of LIBs. As the highly prospective substitute for LIBs, Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted much attention in recent years due to the advantages of low cost and abundance of Na, as well as their electrochemical similarities. [5][6][7][8] Moreover, compared with Li ion, Na ion shows the smaller Stokes radius, which enables better ionic diffusion kinetics in the electrolyte. [9] Nevertheless, the ionic radius of Na ion (1.02 Å) is larger than that of Li ion (0.76 Å), resulting in the relatively sluggish reaction kinetics and giving rise to severe mechanical strain within the host structure during (de)sodiation processes. [10] Therefore, it is desirable to develop rational electrode materials for high-performance NIBs.Recently, more and more efforts are beginning to converge in the study of bimetallic sulfides as NIB anodes due to their great diversity, rich redox active sites, abundant ionic diffusion channels, high specific capacities, and existing unique synergies. [11][12][13] Remarkably, in stark contrast to monometallic sulfides, each component within the bimetallic sulfides would possess essential and unique functions, stimulate synergies, and thereby contribute to overall performance enhancement. [13][14][15][16] For example, Kang and co-workers developed the CoMoS 3 as NIB anode, which manifested higher electronic/ionic conductivities and more abundant redox active sites than the monometallic sulfides. [14] Bimetallic Co 6 Ni 3 S 8 as superior NIB anode was reported by Yang and co-workers, [15] in which the better rate capability and more stable cycling were displayed in contrast to the monometallic Co 9 S 8 . [15] These encouraging works have proved the advantages of bimetallic sulfides in comparison to the corresponding monometallic sulfides as NIB anodes. However, it is challenging to utilize bimetallic sulfides for achieving the outstanding electrochemical performances especially for the superior rate and cycling capabilities.Among the various bimetallic sulfides, indium-based bimetallic sulfides showed high performance potentials in various energy storage applications such as the Li-ion, Na-ion, Li-S, Bimetallic sulfides are prospective candidates as Na-ion battery (NIB) anodes owing to their abundant redox active sites and high specific capacities, while the rate and cycling performances are limited due to their severe mechanical strain and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, for the first time, a series of cubic spinel XIn 2 S 4 (X = Fe, Co, Mn) anodes is proposed for superfast and ultrastable Na-ion storage. The FeIn 2 S 4 delivers the best electrochemical performance among them with the amazing results especially for its superfast charging (9-13 s per charge with ≈300 mAh g −1 input) and ultrastable cycling capabilities (25 K cycles with ultralow 0.000801% ca...

Ultrasound (US) technology is already into the research field providing a powerful tool of producing nanomaterials or being implicated in decoration procedures of catalyst supports for energy applications and material production. Toward this concept, low or/and high-frequency USs are used for the production of nanoparticles, the decoration of catalytic supported powders (carbon-based, titania, and alumina) with nanoparticles, and the production of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are porous, crystalline materials, which consist of metal centers and organic linkers. Those structures demonstrate high surface area, open metal sites, and large void space. All the above produced materials are used in heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and energy storage. Batteries and fuel cells are popular systems for electrochemical energy storage, and significant progress has been made in nanostructured energy materials in order to improve these storage devices. Nanomaterials have shown favorable properties, such as enhanced kinetics and better efficiency as catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
