Transition-metal sulfides/selenides are explored as advanced electrode materials for nonaqueous sodium-ion capacitors, using FeSSe as an example. A solid solution of S/Se in FeSSe allows it to combine the high capacity of FeS and the good diffusion kinetics of FeSe together, thereby exhibiting excellent cycle stability (∼220 mA h g after 6000 cycles at 2 A g) and superior rate capability (∼210 mA h g at 40 A g) within 0.8-3.0 V. These results are much better than those of FeS and FeSe, confirming the advantages of S/Se solid solution, as supported by EIS spectra, DFT calculations, and electronic conductivity. As FeSSe is paired with the activated carbon (AC) as Na-ion capacitors, this device is also better than sodium-ion batteries of FeSSe //NaV(PO) and sodium-ion capacitors of metal oxides//AC, particularly at high rates. These results open a new door for the applications of sulfides/selenides in another device of electrochemical energy storage.

Sodium-storage performance of pyrite FeS is greatly improved by constructing various FeS-based nanostructures to optimize its ion-transport kinetics and structural stability. However, less attention has been paid to rapid capacity degradation and electrode failure caused by the irreversible phase-transition of intermediate NaFeS to FeS and polysulfides dissolution upon cycling. Under the guidance of theoretical calculations, coupling FeS nanoparticles with honeycomb-like nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) nanosheet supported single-atom manganese (SAs Mn) catalyst (FeS/SAs Mn@NC) via atomic-interface engineering is proposed to address above challenge.

Sodium ion capacitors (SICs) are promising candidates in energy storage for their remarkable power and energy density. However, the inherent disparity in dynamic behavior between the sluggish battery-type anodes and the rapid capacitor-type cathodes constrained their performance. To address this, we fabricated a hollow porous CoSe/ZnSe@MXene anode featuring multiheterostructure, utilizing facile etching and electrostatic self-assembly strategies.

Sodium ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) address the high power and energy requirements in energy storage devices but face significant challenges arising from the slow kinetics and cycling instability of the anode side. Introducing atomic disorder and employing structural engineering in anode materials proves to be effective strategies for achieving rapid charge storage. Here, it is demonstrated that N-doped MXene encapsulated amorphous vanadium oxide hollow spheres (VO@N-MXene HSs) offer multidirectional open pathways and sufficient vacancies, enabling reversible and fast Na insertion/extraction.
