How efficient could a superionic conductor catalyst be? Beyond the traditionally used molecular precursors when the solution dispersed solid nanomaterials of variable size, shape and phase are introduced under certain reaction condition; the catalyst is found to digest all these structures in minutes irrespective of their phase and morphology, resulting unique heteronanowires. This has been inspected here by employing different ZnSe nanostructures as precursor for Ag2Se nanocrystal catalyst in its superionic conductor phase to obtain the Ag2Se-ZnSe heteronanowires. This dissolution and formation process of these nanostructures is correlated with the change in the reaction temperature profile, the phase of the catalyst, the shape/phase and surface ligands of the source nanostructures, and the possible mechanism of the unique heteronanowires growth has been investigated.

Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-structure NaMnV(PO) (NVMP) electrode materials reveal highly attractive application prospects due to ultrahigh energy density originating from two-electron reactions. Nevertheless, NVMP also encounters challenges with its poor electronic conductivity, Mn dissolution, and Jahn-Teller distortion. To address this issue, utilizing N-doped carbon layers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for dual encapsulation enhances the material's electronic conductivity, creating an effective electron transport network that promotes the rapid diffusion and storage of Na.

With promises for high specific energy, high safety and low cost, the all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery (ASSLSB) is ideal for next-generation energy storage. However, the poor rate performance and short cycle life caused by the sluggish solid-solid sulfur redox reaction (SSSRR) at the three-phase boundaries remain to be solved. Here we demonstrate a fast SSSRR enabled by lithium thioborophosphate iodide (LBPSI) glass-phase solid electrolytes (GSEs).

Mn-containing sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) compounds have shown considerable potential as cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to higher working voltage (V/V: 3.9 V), lower cost, and lower toxicity compared to full vanadium-based NASICON NaV(PO). Taking NaVMn(PO) (NVMP) as an example, its practical application is still restricted by poor electronic conductivity, sluggish intrinsic Na diffusion, and poor high-voltage stability.

NaMnTi(PO) is a promising sodium-ion cathode material due to its relatively high specific capacity, excellent thermodynamic stability and low cost. However, unfavorable electron conductivity and slow kinetics limit its practical application. Here, a strategy of hetero and multivalent anion substitution is proposed to achieve high-rate performance and good capacity retention.
