Article Abstract
Pure Na0.44MnO2 samples were prepared via a solid-state route by carefully tuning the synthesis conditions. Insertion/deinsertion of sodium into the well-crystallized particles leads to capacities as high as 140 mA.h/g. A potentiostatic intermittent titration technic, together with in situ X-ray diffraction measurements, enabled us to evidence the presence of six biphasic transitions within a potential range of 2-3.8 V (vs Na+/Na). The insertion process within the NaxMnO2 system is fully reversible over the 0.25 < x < 0.65 composition range and presents some degree of irreversibility as values of x below 0.25 are reached. Furthermore, we similarly showed that HCl treatment has a detrimental effect on these electrochemical properties because of structural and textural evolutions.

An in-depth understanding of the links between the phase structure and electrochemical property is crucial for the advancement of high-performance anode materials. Herein, the sodium storage performance and mechanisms of MnO with four distinct phase structures (α, β, γ, and δ) as anodes are systematically investigated. Among the four materials, the layered δ-MnO nanoflowers exhibit the best sodium storage performances, characterized by a specific capacity of 303.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the electrochemical performance of three types of electrodes (TiON, Fe-N-C, CuHCF) in converting energy during the neutralization of acidic solutions using visible light.
- Characterization of these materials revealed their properties, while models were used to analyze reaction kinetics and mechanisms, highlighting the efficiency of Fe-N-C in facilitating reactions in acidic conditions.
- The findings showed that nitrogen-doping in TiO improved its light absorption, and the CuHCF electrode had low charge resistance, both contributing to efficient energy conversion, ultimately capturing 62.9 kJ per mole in the process.

Sustainable batteries are key for powering electronic devices of the future, with aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) standing out for their use of abundant, readily available elements, and safer production processes. Among the various electrode materials studied for AZIBs, the Chevrel Phase, MoS has shown promise due to its open framework, but issues with zinc ion trapping have limited its practical application. In this work, we employed computational methods to investigate the insertion-deinsertion mechanism in a series of isostructural MoSSe ( = 0-8) solid solutions as materials that could balance the gravimetric capacity and reversible cycling for AZIBs.

Conjugated polymers (CPs) that show stable and reversible cation insertion/deinsertion under ambient conditions hold great potential for optoelectronic and energy storage devices. However, n-doped CPs are prone to parasitic reactions upon exposure to moisture or oxygen. This study reports a new family of napthalenediimide (NDI) based conjugated polymers capable of undergoing electrochemical n-type doping in ambient air.

Article Synopsis
- Polyanion-type phosphate materials, like MgV(PO4)3, show promise as negative electrodes for Li/Na/K-ion batteries, particularly due to their fast charging/discharging capabilities and distinct redox peaks.
- The synthesized MgV(PO4)3/carbon composite (MgVP/C) exhibits high thermal stability and functions as a pseudocapacitive negative electrode; reactions vary based on the type of ion inserted due to differing ion sizes.
- While MgVP/C provides strong initial capacities in lithium-ion batteries, it faces challenges like low initial efficiency and rapid capacity decay, highlighting the need for more research on its performance with sodium and potassium ions.
