“…To address this issue, sodium‐ion battery (SIB) and potassium‐ion battery (PIB) technologies become potential alternatives because of their rich abundance and high theoretical capacities . However, the much larger ion sizes of sodium and potassium have led to increased volume changes and sluggish redox kinetics during charging/discharging cycles . It is thus highly desirable to develop solutions to address these issues for practical applications of SIBs and PIBs.…”

Nanoscale surface‐engineering plays an important role in improving the performance of battery electrodes. Nb2O5 is one typical model anode material with promising high‐rate lithium storage. However, its modest reaction kinetics and low electrical conductivity obstruct the efficient storage of larger ions of sodium or potassium. In this work, partially surface‐amorphized and defect‐rich black niobium oxide@graphene (black Nb2O5−x@rGO) nanosheets are designed to overcome the above Na/K storage problems. The black Nb2O5−x@rGO nanosheets electrodes deliver a high‐rate Na and K storage capacity (123 and 73 mAh g−1, respectively at 3 A g−1) with long‐term cycling stability. Besides, both Na‐ion and K‐ion full batteries based on black Nb2O5−x@rGO nanosheets anodes and vanadate‐based cathodes (Na0.33V2O5 and K0.5V2O5 for Na‐ion and K‐ion full batteries, respectively) demonstrate promising rate and cycling performance. Notably, the K‐ion full battery delivers higher energy and power densities (172 Wh Kg−1 and 430 W Kg−1), comparable to those reported in state‐of‐the‐art K‐ion full batteries, accompanying with a capacity retention of ≈81.3% over 270 cycles. This result on Na‐/K‐ion batteries may pave the way to next‐generation post‐lithium batteries.

“…Early studies by Goodenough et al [2] included the development of Na 1?X Zr 2 Si x P 3-x O 12 (0 \ x \ 3), sodium (Na) superionic (Si) conductor (CON) (NASICON)-based material structures. NASICON has gained attention due to its relatively high conductivity (10 -3 S cm -1 ) at room temperature [3] which makes it a candidate material particularly for solidstate sodium-ion batteries but also sensors [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Solid-state synthesis of NASICON (Na3Zr2Si2PO12) using nanoparticle precursors for optimisation of ionic conductivity

In this work, the effect of varying the size of the precursor raw materials SiO 2 and ZrO 2 in the solid-state synthesis of NASICON in the form Na 3 Zr 2 Si 2 PO 12 was studied. Nanoscale and macro-scale precursor materials were selected for comparison purposes, and a range of sintering times were examined (10, 24 and 40 h) at a temperature of 1230°C. Na 3 Zr 2 Si 2 PO 12 pellets produced from nanopowder precursors were found to produce substantially higher ionic conductivities, with improved morphology and higher density than those produced from larger micron-scaled precursors. The nanoparticle precursors were shown to give a maximum ionic conductivity of 1.16 9 10-3 S cm-1 when sintered at 1230°C for 40 h, in the higher range of published solid-state Na 3 Zr 2 Si 2 PO 12 conductivities. The macro-precursors gave lower ionic conductivity of 0.62 9 10-3 S cm-1 under the same processing conditions. Most current authors do not quote or consider the precursor particle size for solid-state synthesis of Na 3 Zr 2 Si 2 PO 12. This study shows the importance of precursor powder particle size in the microstructure and performance of Na 3 Zr 2 Si 2 PO 12 during solid-state synthesis and offers a route to improved predictability and consistency of the manufacturing process.

“…However, the successful noncovalent design in hydrogel will suffer from disturbance in the selected polar solvent; only few work can achieve good electrochemical and mechanical performance by complicated solvent exchanges . Besides, the bad interfacial compatibility of ceramic electrolyte and the low ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte are also great challenges to be faced. Therefore, it's necessary to develop a new nonliquid electrolyte with comprehensive performance for fulfilling various energy devices.…”

to be faced. Therefore, it's necessary to develop a new nonliquid electrolyte with comprehensive performance for fulfilling various energy devices.Hydrogel electrolyte with hydrated salt crystal may be a new candidate to solve the above requirements by the introduction of new phase. The hydrated salt crystals, as one kind of industrial liquid-solid phase change materials, can be immobilized into hydrogel by the facile dissolution-crystallization transition. The demonstrated polymer gel electrolyte with NaAc·3H 2 O crystal as aligned porous template was designed by the in situ supersaturated crystallization of NaAc. [16,17] The introduction of inorganic crystal into polymer hydrogel can form the inorganic-organic composite with enhanced mechanical strength due to hydrogen bond or other synergistic effects. [18,19] The bound hydrated salt can suppress the electrochemical activity of water and broaden operating voltage of aqueous electrolyte [20] due to the strong interaction with water molecules, similar to the solvation sheath in "waterin-salt" electrolyte. [21][22][23] The high-concentrated salts within crystal-type gel can also efficiently reduce the freezing point and increase the boiling point of aqueous solutions. [24] At last, the hydrated salt crystal can endow gel electrolytes with thermalresistant performance through liquid-solid phase transition accompanied by endothermic and exothermic phenomena. [25,26] All in all, the crystal-type composite gel electrolyte can realize the comprehensive performance, including ultrahigh toughness, high operating voltage, extreme temperature tolerance, and good interfacial compatibility by a facile dissolution-crystallization transition approach.In this work, the pioneering crystal-type composite gel with excellent performance was prepared using a facile method that employed the crystallization of NaAc. There are only three main components in the precursor solution (Figure 1a,b): distilled water, abundant soluble salt, and a certain amount of monomer (or macromolecule). First, a high concentration of the salt solution was prepared by dissolving excessive soluble salt in the distilled water at high temperature. Then, the hydrogel was formed by UV irradiation for monomer solution (Figure 1c). Finally, the supersaturated salt within hydrogel was initiated to crystallize by placing a small crystal particle as seed on the surface of the hydrogel, and soon the crystal-type composite gel with extensive soluble salt crystals was obtained (Figure 1d). Typically, the crystal-type composite gel containing 15 wt% acrylamide (AAm) monomer and a certain quality of
