“…[142] Other anode materials tested in NICs include TiO 2 and sodium titanates, metal oxides, alloys, and organic materials, and the results have been summarized in various extensive review works. [143][144][145][146][147][148] NIC marketability would also benefit from the custom design of electrolytes. Most of the electrolytes used in NICs are just like the ones used in NIBs, even though the operation conditions of hybrid systems are different from battery requirements.…”

are proving to be an emergent technology with potentially very attractive properties. They are potentially low cost and environmentally friendly with reduced supply risk. However, the development of NIBs faces various challenges such as low gravimetric and volumetric energy densities and difficulty in achieving broader voltage windows. Although early studies in NIBs date back to the 1970s, just like Li-ion battery (LIB) research, the commercialization of the former systems in 1991 by the team formed by Sony and Asahi Kasei marked a milestone not only in the field of energy storage technology but also in the evolution of the modern society. This technological breakthrough had been possible thanks to several preceding contributions, particularly the works by M. S Whittingham, [1] J. Goodenough, [2,3] and A. Yoshino [4] on the discovery of Li-ion intercalation materials (Nobel Laureates in Chemistry 2019). This important historical event polarized material science research toward Li-ion technology and slowed down considerably the advances in the field of sodium. However, at the end of the 2000s, mainly driven by the concerns about future lithium supply and the uneven worldwide distribution of its reserves and resources, the research on Na-ion reemerged and so did the number of articles published (Figure 1). The intercalation chemistry of both metal ions is very alike, and thus, the materials tested for NIBs could be similar to those used in Li-ion systems. Both systems share the same working principle, and therefore, in terms of manufacturing, the industry producing LIBs can be easily tuned towards NIB fabrication, which is an important asset to invest in and support this technology. NIBs started to reach the market in the early 2010s, about two decades after their Li counterparts. Nevertheless, the progress has been relatively fast due to the straightforward LIB equipment and facility transfer just mentioned. In the search of high performance, low cost, abundance, low environmental impact, long-term cyclability and safety, layered metal oxides, polyanionic compounds and Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are among the most studied families of Na-ion cathode materials. On the anode side, metallic sodium exhibits the same operation and safety problems as lithium, and therefore, it cannot be considered an option in conventional NIBs. Thus, in this scenario, most of the research has been dominated by the use of disordered carbons, mainly hard carbons (HCs). Other prospective anodes

As a new type of capacitor–battery hybrid energy storage device, metal‐ion capacitors have attracted widespread attention because of their high‐power density while ensuring energy density and long lifespan. Potassium‐ion capacitors (KICs) featuring the merits of abundant potassium resources, lower standard electrode potential, and low cost have been considered as potential alternatives to lithium‐/sodium‐ion capacitors. However, KICs still face issues including unsatisfactory reaction kinetics, low energy density, and poor lifetime owing to the large radius of the potassium ion. In this Review, the importance of emerging potassium‐ion capacitor is addressed. The Review offers a brief discussion of the fundamental working principle of KICs, along with an overview of recent advances and achievements of a variety of electrode materials for dual carbon and non‐dual carbon KICs. Furthermore, electrolyte chemistry, binders as well as electrode/electrolyte interface, are summarized. Finally, existing challenges and perspectives on further development of KICs are also presented.

Among the various morphologies of carbon-based materials, hollow carbon nanostructures are of particular interest for energy storage. They have been widely investigated as electrode materials in different types of rechargeable batteries, owing to their high surface areas in association with the high surface-to-volume ratios, controllable pores and pore size distribution, high electrical conductivity, and excellent chemical and mechanical stability, which are beneficial for providing active sites, accelerating electrons/ions transfer, interacting with electrolytes, and giving rise to high specific capacity, rate capability, cycling ability, and overall electrochemical performance. In this overview, we look into the ongoing progresses that are being made with the nanohollow carbon materials, including nanospheres, nanopolyhedrons, and nanofibers, in relation to their applications in the main types of rechargeable batteries. The design and synthesis strategies for them and their electrochemical performance in rechargeable batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, potassium-ion batteries, and lithium–sulfur batteries are comprehensively reviewed and discussed, together with the challenges being faced and perspectives for them.
