[6][7][8][9] Compared to the other pressure sensors, the piezoresistive pressure sensor constructed from flexible substrates and conductive materials is considered the most promising for industrialization. [10] This benefit from the fact that the piezoresistive pressure sensor has the advantages of reliable sensing performance, low costs, less susceptibility to external environmental interference, and relatively low energy consumption. [11] Much progress has been made in previous research into the piezoresistive pressure sensor, and much of these works have been aimed at improving the sensitivity, sensing range, and stability of the sensor. [12] Particularly in the area of human movement and physiological monitoring, highly sensitive pressure sensors enable continuous monitoring of health states by acquiring the body's vital signals in real time, which is essential for future personalized medicine and diagnosis. [13] To enhance the sensitivity of pressure sensor, the introduction of superior conductive materials on flexible substrates with surface-built microstructures has proven to be an effective strategy. [14] This is because the construction of various microstructures or nanostructured geometries in flexible substrates can increase the degree of change in their contact resistance under pressure loading, thereby improving the sensitivity of pressure sensors. [15] Micro-pyramidal structures, micro-pillar structures, micro-hemispheric structures, micro-cone arrays, and hollow sphere microstructures have been published in previous research works, and these pressure sensors show high sensitivity. [16] Park et al. [17] have constructed micro-hemispheres, micro-pyramids, and micro-cylinders on the surface of polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS), and then deposited carbon nanotubes (CNT) to prepare compressible conductive CNT/PDMS films. The finite element theoretical model is used to analyze the contrast sensitivity, and it is found that the tunnel resistance can be greatly reduced due to the maximum change of contact area of the interlocking array based on micro-hemispherical structure under the same The introduction of superior conductive materials on flexible substrates with surface-built microstructures has proven to be an effective solution for enhancing the sensitivity of pressure sensor. Thermoplastic polyurethane electrospun membrane (TPUEM) with multi-void structure is used as substrate, and poly(styrene-methacrylic acid)@polypyrrole nanospheres (PPNs) are pumped into the TPUEM by vacuum filtration to form a microstructure on the surface of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) electrospun fibers. The MXene dispersion is sprayed on the surface of PPNs/TPUEM. As it is gradually infiltrated into the material, a conductive network is formed. When the MXene/PPNs/TPUEM is subjected to pressure, its resistance decreases significantly due to the close contact between MX...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are excellent electrochemical energy sources, albeit with existing challenges, including high costs and safety concerns. Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) are one of the potential alternatives. However, the performance of MIBs is poor due to their sluggish solid-state Mg2+ diffusion kinetics and severe electrode polarizability. Rechargeable magnesium-ion/lithium-ion (Mg2+/Li+) hybrid batteries (MLHBs) with Mg2+ and Li+ as the charge carriers create a synergy between LIBs and MIBs with significantly improved charge transport kinetics and reliable safety features. However, MLHBs are yet to reach a reasonable electrochemical performance as expected. This work reports a composite electrode material with highly defective two-dimensional (2D) tin sulphide nanosheets (SnSx) encapsulated in three-dimensional (3D) holey graphene foams (HGF) (SnSx/HGF), which exhibits a specific capacity as high as 600 mAh g−1 at 50 mA g−1 and a compelling specific energy density of ~ 330 Wh kg−1. The excellent electrochemical performance surpasses previously reported hybrid battery systems based on intercalation-type cathode materials under comparable conditions. The role played by the defects in the SnSx/HGF composite is studied to understand the origin of the observed excellent electrochemical performance. It is found that it is closely related to the defect structure in SnSx, which offers percolation pathways for efficient ion transport and increased internal surface area assessable to the charge carriers. The defective sites also absorb structural stress caused by Mg2+ and Li+ insertion. This work is an important step towards realizing high-capacity cathode materials with fast charge transport kinetics for hybrid batteries.

The magnesium/lithium hybrid batteries (MLHBs) featuring dendrite-less deposition with Mg anode and Li-storage cathode are a promising alternative to Li-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. However, their limited energy density limits their practical implementation. To improve this, beyond the commonly proposed intercalation compounds, high-capacity conversion-type cathodes based on heterostructures of tin sulphide-molybdenum disulphide (SnS2-MoS2) are proposed in this work. Individual SnS2 is already a promising high-capacity electrode material for multivalent batteries and undergoes conversion reactions during the ion storage process. The introduction of S-deficient MoS2 enhances the reversibility of SnS2 in the conversion reaction via strong polysulfide anchoring and catalytic effect. Our results show that the SnS2-MoS2 electrode achieves a high charge capacity of ~600 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and an excellent rate capability of 240 mAh g-1 at 1000 mAh g-1 with a negligible capacity fading rate of 0.063% per cycle across 1000 cycles. The results highlight a new direction toward designing 2D heterostructures as high-capacity cathodes beyond intercalation-type cathodes for multivalent-ion batteries.
