“…The pore‐size distribution curve is represented in Figure B. The specific surface area for Bi 2 Te 3 /Go nanocomposite was found to be 10.29 m 2 /g, which is comparable to the surface area of Bi 2 Te 3 composite with Cu 2 Te . Furthermore, the pore diameter and pore volume in the as‐synthesized nanocomposite were found to be 15.307 A o and 0.004 cm 3 /g, respectively.…”

Present investigation deals with the study of electrochemical properties of Bi 2 Te 3 / GO composite for its use as anode material in Li-ion batteries. The Bi 2 Te 3 /GO composite has been synthesized via polyol route. The surface morphology and structural properties of the as-prepared samples have been studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The phase of as-synthesized composite was found out to be rhombohedral as has been characterized by X-ray diffractometer. The presence of GO in the Bi 2 Te 3 matrix has been confirmed by the presence of characteristic D and G bands in the Raman spectra. The as-synthesized composite showed the first cycle discharge/charge capacity of 752/514 mAh g −1 at the current density of 0.1 Ag −1 , superior rate capability (~50 mAh g −1 at 2 Ag −1 ), and excellent cycling stability over 500 cycles at 0.1 Ag −1 . The presence of GO in the matrix helps to enhance the electronic conductivity due to the rapid Li-ion diffusion and helps to shield the changes in volume during the cycling processes.

Room‐temperature sodium–sulfur (RT Na–S) batteries have emerged as a promising candidate for next‐generation scalable energy storage systems, due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost, and natural abundance. However, the practical applications of these batteries are hindered by the notorious shuttle effect of soluble sodium polysulfides (NaPSs) and sluggish reaction kinetics, which result in fast performance loss. To address this issue, recent studies have reported impressive achievements of transition metal nanoparticles/single atoms/cluster/compounds (TM)‐based host materials with strong adsorption and catalyzation to NaPSs. These materials can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of RT Na–S batteries. In this review, the recent progress on TM‐based host materials for RT Na–S batteries, including iron (Fe)‐, cobalt (Co)‐, nickel (Ni)‐, molybdenum (Mo)‐, titanium (Ti)‐, vanadium (V)‐, manganese (Mn)‐, and other TM‐based materials are summarized. The design, fabrication, and properties of these host materials are comprehensively summarized and systematically analyzed the underlying chemical inhibition and electrocatalysis mechanism between NaPSs and TM‐based catalytic materials. At last, the challenges and prospects for designing efficient TM‐based catalytic materials for high‐performance RT Na–S batteries are discussed.

“…Indium is also a superb dopant modifier and has an important role in defect and energy level structure modulation of electrode materials. 38,39 Herein, considering the unique effects of rare earth elements and indium, nitrogen-modified carbon-supported In/Ce codoped LVO (nLICVO/NC, n = 3, 5, 7, represents the molar ratios of In 3+ /Ce 4+ , where the molar amount of Ce 4+ was fixed) were investigated to acquire a high-performance LIB material with high tap density. The conductive nanofibers (5LICVO/ NC, sample with the best performance) tightly incorporated by 5LICVO nanoparticles were synthesized via electrospinning with subsequent one-step carbonization.…”

Li 3 VO 4 (LVO) is considered as a novel alternative anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high capacity and good safety. However, the inferior electronic conductivity impedes its further application. Here, nanofibers (nLICVO/NC) with In/Ce co-doped Li 3 VO 4 strengthened by nitrogen-modified carbon are prepared. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that In/Ce co-doping can substantially reduce the LVO band gap and achieve orders of magnitude increase (from 2.79 × 10 −4 to 1.38 × 10 −2 S cm −1 ) in the electronic conductivity of LVO. Moreover, the carbon-based nanofibers incorporated with 5LICVO nanoparticles can not only buffer the structural strain but also form a good framework for electron transport. This 5LICVO/NC material delivers high reversible capacities of 386.3 and 277.9 mA h g −1 at 0.1 and 5 A g −1 , respectively. Furthermore, high discharge capacities of 335 and 259.5 mA h g −1 can be retained after 1200 and 4000 cycles at 0.5 and 1.6 A g −1 , respectively (with the corresponding capacity retention of 98.4 and 78.7%, respectively). When the 5LICVO/NC anode assembles with commercial LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (NCM111) into a full cell, a high discharge capacity of 191.9 mA h g −1 can be retained after 600 cycles at 1 A g −1 , implying an inspiring potential for practical application in high-efficiency LIBs.
