Crystallographic Insight of Reduced Lattice Volume Expansion in Mesoporous Cu2+‐Doped TiNb2O7 Microspheres during Li+ Insertion

“…[ 30–33 ] Unfortunately, its low packing density leads to a low volume specific energy density of nanomaterials, limiting the practical application. [ 33–36 ]…”

Research progress on ZnSe and ZnTe anodes for rechargeable batteries

“…34 As key members of the chalcogenides, zinc-based selenides and tellurides have been increasingly exploited for the anodes of LIBs, SIBs and PIBs in the recent decade. 32,58 Plenty of effort has been made to overcome the arduous challenge of obtaining cycling stability while realizing superior rate capability.…”

Anchoring Metal‐Organic Framework‐Derived ZnTe@C onto Elastic Ti3C2Tx MXene with 0D/2D Dual Confinement for Ultrastable Potassium‐Ion Storage

“…Generally, TMT anode materials exhibit huge volume change upon cycling, resulting in continuous solid-electrolyte interphase formation, electrode pulverization, and fast capacity fading. [23] Carbon coating and 2D materials anchoring are the two common approaches to addressing this problem. [28][29][30][31] However, the carbon coating is structurally rigid, suggesting that it can suppress the volume expansion to a certain extent but are not able to buffer the volume expansion strains.…”

“…Compared to the oxide, sulfide, and selenide counterparts, transition metal tellurides (TMTs) exhibit several appealing advantages: higher conductivity for quick electron mobility, larger lattice spacings for enhanced K + diffusion, higher density for improved volumetric capacities, and metallic thermal conductivity for adequate joule heat transport during cycling. [ 23 ] These merits make TMTs an attractive and emerging candidate for K + storage. To date, several TMTs have been reported as KIB anode materials, including CoTe 2 , Bi 2 Te 3 , MoTe 2 , and WTe 2 .…”
