In situ uniform confinement of ultrasmall Mo2C nanocrystals into micropore-enriched N-doped carbons was achieved by carbonizing phosphomolybdic acid/polyimide precursors to craft a surface-dominated capacitive battery-type anode. Upon coupling with a capacitor-type cathode, the as-fabricated lithium-ion capacitors exhibit superior power and energy outputs by improving the kinetics and capacity imbalance between two electrodes.

Graphene oxide (GO)-based all-solid-state supercapacitors (SCs) provide an important complement to liquid- and gel-electrolyte-based SCs in a variety of applications, including flexible electronics. Still, their mediocre capacitance and complex fabrication methods hold back the realization of their full potential. Here, a simple fabrication of all-solid-state SCs with layered GO as a solid electrolyte and MXene as electrodes is demonstrated.

Selenium (Se) is an ideal doping agent to modulate the structure of carbon materials to improve their sodium storage performance but has been rarely investigated. In the present study, a novel Se-doped honeycomb-like macroporous carbon (Se-HMC) is prepared by a surface crosslinking method using diphenyl diselenide as the carbon source and SiO nanospheres as the template. Se-HMC has a high Se weight percentage above 10%, with a large surface area of 557 m g.

Controllably tailoring alloying anode materials to achieve fast charging and enhanced structural stability is crucial for sodium-ion batteries with high rate and high capacity performance, yet remains a significant challenge owing to the huge volume change and sluggish sodiation kinetics. Here, a chemical tailoring tool is proposed and developed by atomically dispersing high-capacity Ge metal into the rigid and conductive sulfide framework for controllable reconstruction of GeS bonds to synergistically realize high capacity and high rate performance for sodium storage. The integrated GeTiS material with stable Ti-S framework and weak GeS bonding delivers high specific capacities of 678 mA h g at 0.
