Intercalation of anions unlocks graphite as a positive material in energy storage devices, and the performance could be affected by solvents in solutions. In this context, it is vital to investigate the role of solvents in anion intercalation. Herein, a hierarchical intercalation phenomenon, in which different graphite intercalation compounds are generated in the same solution, is studied in lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF) solutions of carboxylate ester solvents γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and methyl acetate (MA). The evolution modes of the graphite cathode structure during electrochemical intercalation and deintercalation are discussed via in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Based on this, the relationship between GICs and potentials, together with concentrations, is compared in detail. Furthermore, various graphite materials with different surface properties are applied to adjust the anions' solvation status inside graphite sheets.

Developing a two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin metal-organic framework plays a significant role in energy conversion and storage systems. This work introduced a facile strategy for engineering ultrathin NiMn-MOF nanosheets on Ni foam (NF) via in situ conversion from NiMn-layered double hydroxide (LDH). The as-synthesized LDH-derived NiMn-MOF (LDH-D NiMn-MOF) nanosheet exhibited an overpotential of 350 mV to drive a current density of 100 mA cm during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) owing to its better redox activity, hierarchical architecture, and intercalating ability.

Although Mg-Li dual metal-ion batteries are proposed as a superior system that unite safety of Mg-batteries and performance of Li-ion based systems, its practical implantation is limited due to the lack of reliable high performance cathodes. Herein, we report a high-performance Mg-Li dual metal-ion battery system based on highly pseudocapacitive hierarchical TiO2-B nanosheet assembled spheres (NS) cathode. This 2D cathode displayed exceptional pseudocapacitance (a maximum of 93%) specific capacity (303 mAh/g at 25 mA/g), rate performance (210 mAh/g at 1A/g), consistent cycling (retain ~100% capacity for 3000 cycles at 1A/g), coulombic efficiency (nearly 100%) and fast-charging (~12.

In this work, FeCo-Se and NiCo-PO were electrodeposited on nickel foam (NF) successively to prepare a cathode material for asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) and NiCo//Bi batteries. FeCo-Se@NiCo-PO combines the advantages of transition metal selenides (TMSs) and transition metal phosphates (TMPs). FeCo-Se electrodeposited in the underlying layer can facilitate electron transfer for higher conductivity.
