“…For short‐chain sulfur–carbon hosts, heteroatom doping can be easily introduced into the carbon hosts during the carbonization process of the precursors. Most commonly, nitrogen doping in ZIF‐derived MPCs is studied in both Li and Na–S systems due to the nitrogen‐containing imidazolate, resulting in significant nitrogen doping in the derived carbon hosts 53,54,67 . Due to their high electronegativity and small atomic diameter, nitrogen atoms are able to improve battery performance by binding to sulfur species and facilitating sulfur immobilization 59,68,69 .…”

Room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries (NaSBs) are promising candidates for next-generation large-scale energy storage solutions. However, the wellknown polysulfide shuttling of soluble long-chain sulfur intermediates still remains a limitation in NaSBs, leading to rapid capacity loss arising from the dissolution of active sulfur into the electrolyte. This problem is effectively circumvented in quasi-solid-state conversion cathodes by elimination of the presence of these soluble intermediates altogether, with only insoluble intermediates formed in the process. Herein, we discuss various cathode materials that undergo quasi-solid-state conversion when cycled in a liquid electrolyte, including chemically bonded short-chain sulfur species, shortchain sulfur via physical confinement, and quasi-solid-state conversion cathodes with long-chain sulfur moieties. We conclude by highlighting the current challenges and possible strategies to improve the mechanistic understanding and cycling performance of NaSBs for practical applications.

“…[92,93] Under the synergetic effects of these advantages, high mass loading electrodes with hierarchical structures have become much popular, which are usually fabricated by ball-milling method, hydrothermal method, selfassembly technique, and template approach. [94][95][96] Among these methods, template approach is widely used to construct hierarchical structures, including hard and soft templates approach. Hard template approach usually adopts rigid or semirigid materials (often ZnO, TiO 2 , etc) as mold to support the precursor materials, and then etching the inner template to achieve hierarchical structures.…”

vehicles (HEVs), because of their high energy density and long lifetime. [1][2][3] In recent years, the ever-growing demand on electric vehicles contributes to the continuous growth of the battery market, and the energy storage devices of EVs/HEVs raise stern demands on higher energy density (>300 Wh kg −1 ) and lower cost (500 Wh kg −1 ), and the standard parameters for different electrode systems toward this high energy density goal are well summarized in the previous works. [7][8][9] In particular, the innovative battery chemistries (i.e., Li-metal battery and all-solid-state lithium battery) using Li metal as anode, exhibit much higher energy density than current lithium-ion batteries, whereas some technological issues are needed to be addressed first, such as dendrite formation suppression, industrial battery Current lithium-ion battery technology is approaching the theoretical energy density limitation, which is challenged by the increasing requirements of ever-growing energy storage market of electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and portable electronic devices. Although great progresses are made on tailoring the electrode materials from methodology to mechanism to meet the practical demands, sluggish mass transport, and charge transfer dynamics are the main bottlenecks when increasing the areal/volumetric loading multiple times to commercial level. Thus, this review presents the state-of-the-art developments on rational design of the commercialization-driven electrodes for lithium batteries. First, the basic guidance and challenges (such as electrode mechanical instability, sluggish charge diffusion, deteriorated performance, and safety concerns) on constructing the industry-required high mass loading electrodes toward commercialization are discussed. Second, the corresponding design strategies on cathode/anode electrode materials with high mass loading are proposed to overcome these challenges without compromising energy density and cycling durability, including electrode architecture, integrated configuration, interface engineering, mechanical compression, and Li metal protection. Finally, the future trends and perspectives on commercializationdriven electrodes are offered. These design principles and potential strategies are also promising to be applied in other...

“…Compared to traditional porous materials, they possess unique advantages, including a strong periodicity of the pore structure arrangement, a narrow pore size distribution, uniform adjustment within a certain range, and optimal mass transfer [ 26 ]. Consequently, 3DOM materials are widely utilized in catalysis, separation, the environment, sensors, and batteries [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. However, until now, most 3DOM materials have been prepared in the form of thin films or block monomers [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], and there has been little research on the preparation of spherical 3DOM materials, which has limited the development of these materials in the field of high-efficiency separation and adsorption.…”

Sample pretreatment is a key step for qualitative and quantitative analysis of trace substances in complex samples. Cis-dihydroxyl (cis-diol) group-containing substances exist widely in biological samples and can be selectively bound by boronate affinity adsorbents. Based on this, in this article, we proposed a simple method for the preparation of novel spherical three-dimensionally ordered macropore (3DOM) materials based on a combination of the boronate affinity technique and colloidal crystal template method. The prepared 3DOM materials were characterized using Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermo-gravimetric analysis, and results showed that they possessed the characteristics of a high specific surface area, high porosity, and more boronic acid recognition sites. The adsorption performance evaluation results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the boron affinity 3DOMs on ovalbumin (OVA) could reach to 438.79 mg/g. Kinetic and isothermal adsorption experiments indicated that the boronate affinity 3DOM material exhibited a high affinity and selectivity towards OVA and adenosine. Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the proteins in egg whites was conducted and proved that the glycoprotein in the egg whites could be separated and enriched with a good performance. Therefore, a novel boronate affinity 3DOM material a with highly ordered and interconnected pore structure was prepared and could be applied in the separation and enrichment of molecules with cis-diol groups from complex samples with a good selectivity, efficiency, and high throughput.
