Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received considerable attention in recent years. Anode material is one of the key factors that determine SIBs' electrochemical performance. Current commercial hard carbon anode shows poor rate performance, which greatly limits applications of SIBs. In this study, a novel vanadium-based material, SrVO, was proposed as an anode for SIBs, and its Na storage properties were studied for the first time. To enhance the electrical conductivity of SrVO material, a microflower structure was designed and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was introduced as a host to support SrVO microflowers. The microflower structure effectively reduced electron diffusion distance, thus enhancing the electrical conductivity of the SrVO material. The rGO showed excellent flexibility and electrical conductivity, which effectively improved the cycling life and rate performance of the SrVO composite material. As a result, the SrVO@rGO composite showed excellent electrochemical performance (a stable capacity of 273.4 mAh g after 200 cycles at 0.2 A g and a high capacity of 120.4 mAh g at 10.0 A g), indicating that SrVO@rGO composite can be an ideal anode material for SIBs.

In this study, a Co doped polyhedral carbon skeleton (Co CN) was prepared by nitrogen carbonization using ZIF-67 as a precursor. The Co CN features a rough surface with excellent electrical conductivity, and the Co atoms exhibit unique catalytic properties. Based on these characteristics, we used Co CN as a carrier to load Au nanoparticles (NPs) onto its surface through the linkage and reduction effects of polyoxometalates (POMs).

A sustainable supply of lithium from salt-lake brines is necessary due to the surge in demand of the lithium-battery market. However, the presence of coexisting ions, particularly Na, poses a significant challenge due to the similarities in charge, electronic structure, and hydrated size. The electrochemical system with manganese (Mn)-based lithium-ion (Li) sieves electrodes is a promising method for Li recovery, but often suffers from geometric configuration distortion, which reduces their selectivity and capacity.

BiVO is considered as one of the important candidate materials for photoelectrochemical water splitting technology. However, the low efficiency of charge separation and poor kinetics of water oxidation limit its performance in PEC water splitting. In this work, a BiVO/MIL-53(FeNiCo) photoanode was constructed by a facile hydrothermal deposition method, exhibiting excellent water oxidation ability under AM 1.

We study the influence of electrical biasing on the modification of the chemical composition and electrical performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by coupling electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) techniques. EIS reveals the formation of charge accumulation at the interfaces and changes in the resistive and capacitive properties. STXM study on PSCs after applying a strong electric field for a long biasing time indicates the breakdown of methylammonium (MA) cation, promoting iodide ions to migrate and create defects at the interface.
