“…However, graphene itself is prone to restacking and is incapable of repairing the SnS grains and discharge products, and thus, graphene cannot prevent the aggregation of nanosized grains . Xiong et al prepared SnS nanoparticles electrostatically fixed on 3D N‐doped graphene (3DNG), as shown in Figure h . 3DNG supplied efficient and rapid pathways for Na + and electrons.…”

High-efficiency energy storage technologies and devices have received considerable attention due to their ever-increasing demand. Na-related energy storage systems, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) and sodium ion capacitors (SICs), are regarded as promising candidates for large-scale energy storage because of the abundant sources and low cost of sodium. In the last decade, many efforts, including structural and compositional optimization, effective modification of available materials, and design and exploration of new materials, have been made to promote the development of Na-related energy storage systems. In this Review, the latest developments of micro/nanostructured electrode materials for advanced SIBs and SICs, especially the rational design of unique composites with high thermodynamic stabilities and fast kinetics during charge/discharge, are summarized. In addition to the recent achievements, the remaining challenges with respect to fundamental investigations and commercialized applications are discussed in detail. Finally, the prospects of sodium-based energy storage systems are also described.

“…Mondal et al [60] synthesized Ndoped graphene from heteroatomic polymers and proposed amechanism of formation of N-doped graphene (Figure 7). [61] Similar to N-doped graphene, N-doped carbon nanotubes have al arger specific surfacea rea, higher conductivity,a nd excellentc atalytic activity for the ORR. The products formed by chain breaking are usually free radicals, which combine with each other to form new products.…”

Progress in Nonmetal‐Doped Graphene Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Owing to energy shortages and environmental pollution, green energy sources such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells and metal–air batteries play a more and more important role, whereby the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is the rate‐determining step. Development of high‐efficiency and stable catalysts to facilitate the ORR is of importance. Graphene is a new type of material with two‐dimensional structure and high surface area, which has wide‐ranging applications in many fields. However, graphene with zero band gap shows low electrocatalytic activity toward the ORR. Introduction of nonmetal atoms can change the electronic arrangement, generate active sites, and further improve the catalytic activity of graphene. Some nonmetal‐doping strategies (e.g., N, S, and P doping) can promote ORR activity. Herein, the recent development of nonmetal‐doped graphene catalysts for ORR is reviewed. Some common synthetic methods for nonmetal‐doped graphene materials are summarized, and the active sites and possible reaction mechanisms for ORR on various nonmetal‐doped graphene catalysts are discussed.

“…[16][17][18] This operando manufacture way can spontaneously lead to the formation of ordered layered oxygen deficiency and the yield segregation of massively and finely dispersed metallic nanoparticles. [23] Typically, these composite catalysts were fabricated by physical mixing with ultrasonic or ball milling. [20] However, the HER performance and the stability of this catalyst are still far away from the commercial use due to the low electrical conductivity of oxides at room temperatures.…”

Electrochemical water splitting is considered a sustainable way to produce H2. However, it is still a challenge to develop efficient and stable electrocatalysts. Here, a bifunctional composite catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was constructed by using a facile in situ growth route, which combines the carbonization on exsolved alloy nanoparticles and sulfurization in one continues step. This composite catalyst contains Ruddlesden‐Popper‐type S‐adsorbed (Nd0.6Sr0.4)3((Co,Fe)0.85Nb0.15)2O7, metal sulfides, and hollow S‐doped carbon fibers. Compared to the untreated catalyst, Nd0.6Sr0.4Co0.6Fe0.3Nb0.1O3‐δ, the composite catalyst leads to significantly enhanced OER and HER activities as well as excellent stability (more than 400 h without inactivation) during overall water splitting. Our research offers a new route to fabricate hetero‐architecture materials with S‐doped hollow carbon fibers on alloy nanoparticles of perovskite oxides.
