Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been regarded as promising cathode materials for lithium batteries. However, they generally show low practical capacity. Here we report the design, preparation, and battery application of a highly crystalline two-dimensional truxenone-based COF (TRO-BT-COF) with rich redox active sites, realizing a high practical capacity. In-situ characterizations and theoretical calculations indicate that the lithiation reaction proceeds successively on C=O and C=N groups of TRO-BT-COF. One ring of TRO-BT-COF can theoretically store 27 Li+ ions through two stages. Consequently, the highly crystalline TRO-BT-COF displays a high discharge capacity of 435 mAh g-1 when used as cathode material for lithium batteries. This work provides a facile approach to achieve COF electrode materials with high practical capacity for lithium batteries.

The sluggish reaction kinetics and formidable shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) are thorny problems for the future industrialization of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Therefore, exploring efficient electrocatalysts to capture LiPSs and accelerate their conversion is highly desirable yet tremendously challenging. Herein, a high-efficiency Bi/BiO/VMoN@rGO electrocatalyst with multifunctional active sites and multilevel heterointerfaces is elaborately designed for Li-S batteries.

Metal carbides are considered attractive lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode materials. Their potential practical application, however, still needs nanostructure optimization to further enhance the Li-storage capacity, especially under large current densities. Herein, a nanoporous structured multi-metal carbide is designed, which is encapsulated in a 3D free-standing nanotubular graphene film (MnNiCoFe-MoC@NG).

Photo-stimulated Polymers have garnered significant attention for their potential applications ranging from optical memory to sensing. Herein, by changing coordination metal and the position of nitrogen atom in pyridine-based photo-stimulated ligand, we successfully synthesised a novel photo-stimulated copper-based MOF (Cu-MOF) using 9,10-bis(di(pyridine-3-yl)methylene)-9,10-dihydroanthracene as the photo-stimulated ligand. Structural analysis revealed a 3D porous architecture, offering a distinct advantage over previously reported 1D coordination polymer using similar photo-stimulated ligand.

In this paper, the natural waste pinecone as a carbon precursor for the generation of satisfactory sulfur host materials in lithium-sulfur batteries was realized by introducing molybdenum carbide nanoparticles into the derived carbon structure. The conductive pinecone-derived carbon doped with N, O reveals an expansive specific surface area, facilitating the accommodation of a higher sulfur load. Moreover, the integration of MoC nanoparticles also significantly enhances its chemical affinity and catalytic capacity for polysulfides (LiPSs) to alleviate the shuttle effect and accelerate sulfur redox conversion.
