papers have shown that converting bulk powder to 2D nanosheets yields significant capacity increases. [18][19][20] In addition, 2D platelet-shaped nanoparticles show great potential for use in battery electrodes due to shorter solid state diffusion lengths which can yield improved rate performance. [21] However, high aspect ratio 2D nanosheets can reduce the diffusion coefficient associated with ion transport within the electrolyte filled pores. [21] To avoid slow liquid phase diffusion while maintaining short solid state diffusion times, quasi-2D platelets with reduced aspect ratio are required. [21] This suggests that when using Fe 2 O 3 for battery applications there would be significant advantages to producing it in the form of quasi-2D platelets.Several synthetic routes have been proposed to generate nanoscale α-Fe 2 O 3 of various geometries including 2D platelets. [22][23][24][25] However, current methods are expensive to implement and typically include multiple complex steps which require high temperatures as well as templates or solid supports. A simpler alternative is to use a controllable, soft interfacial method to self-assemble well-defined and mesoporous nanostructures at an immiscible aqueous/organic interface. [26] The interface provides a defect-free, dimensionally-confined space to self-assemble unique 2D nanomaterials in a single step with perfect reproducibility. This can yield nanomaterials, potentially including quasi-2D materials, that are inaccessible in bulk solution. [27,28] Furthermore, certain interfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) may be electrochemically polarized, providing a driving force that may influence the kinetics of self-assembly or even enable electrosynthesis of interfacial thin films of materials. [29,30] Another consideration involves electrode architecture and the need to include conductive additives. For Fe 2 O 3 , a number of carbon-based additives including 2D graphene, 1D carbon (nanofibers/nanotubes), and 0D nanocarbon has been extensively explored. [10,[31][32][33][34] We believe significant advantages are to be had from using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the conductive additive. We and others have shown that incorporating CNTs in electrodes based on both 2D [35][36][37] and 3D [38] materials allows them to approach their theoretical capacity. This is because the high conductivity of the CNTs allows effective charge distribution increasing both initial capacity, stability, and rate performance. [38][39][40] In addition, CNTs provide mechanical reinforcement to the electrode without the need for any additional binder. [38] This is particularly important for iron oxide-based anodes, where a large volume expansion is often observed upon lithiation which leads to particle de-cohesion and poor cycling performance. [7] We have shown previously that nanotubes lead to electrode toughening which imparts stability even in silicon anodes which display very high volume expansion. [38] In this paper we will combine the advantages associated with quasi-2D...

“…Iron with sulfate solution is reliable and represents stable salt chemistry for all-iron batteries. As saturated potassium sulfate solution is mixed with iron chloride and the pH was adjusted to obtain the anodic electrolyte (iron(II) chloride), which is used as a cathode electrolyte [184] . Although iron(IV) can be easily synthesized, the safety concerns related to the high oxidation state, which prohibit its use.…”

Energy storage devices such as batteries hold great importance for society, owing to their high energy density, environmental benignity and low cost. However, critical issues related to their performance and safety still need to be resolved. The periodic table of elements is pivotal to chemistry, physics, biology and engineering and represents a remarkable scientific breakthrough that sheds light on the fundamental laws of nature. Here, we provide an overview of the role of the most prominent elements, including s-block, p-block, transition and inner-transition metals, as electrode materials for lithium-ion battery systems regarding their perspective applications and fundamental properties. We also outline hybrid materials, such as MXenes, transition metal oxides, alloys and graphene oxide. Finally, the challenges and prospects of each element and their derivatives and hybrids for future battery systems are discussed, which may provide guidance towards green, low-cost, versatile and sustainable energy storage devices.

Despite extensive research into novel materials, iron oxides remain fascinating and attract considerable attention because of their versatility, stability, ease of fabrication, low cost, natural abundance, and environmental friendliness. Because of their wealth of magnetic, optical, and electrical properties, iron oxides are particularly multifunctional materials that can be integrated into various devices. In this article, we will discuss the applications of iron oxide thin films in electronics (spintronics devices), energy (batteries and solar cells or photovoltaics), and sensors (gas, humidity, strain, biosensors, and so on). We begin with the most recent forms and fabrication methods for iron oxide thin film, as well as a fundamental understanding of the material. Additionally, the application constraints of these devices are discussed, and the challenges, solutions, and prospects for electronic devices based on iron oxide are outlined.
