“…), [38,39] especially graphene-like 2D ultrathin nanomaterials which result in a wealth of unprecedented functionalities, [40,41] have exhibited a large superiority for LIBs. [18,46,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62] These fascinating features can effectively avoid the self-aggregation of active nanomaterials, and benefit the insertion/extraction of Li + , so that excellent cycling and rate performances can be obtained. [42][43][44] One main problem is that although exhibiting higher capacity, these simplex lowdimensional nanomaterials still suffer from the serious selfaggregation and pulverization during cycling caused by their quite large surface area and energy, which makes nanomaterials lose their advantages, and consequently leads to poor cycling and rate performance.…”

IntroductionWith the economic, science and technology increasing at an amazing speed, energy has become one of the most important issues in the 21 st century. In addition, the supply of fossil With revolutionary electric vehicles and the smart grid fast developing, more advanced energy storage technologies become quite crucial issues. Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (NIBs) are considered as the most promising electrochemical energy storage technologies. Low-dimensional nano-structural electrode materials can greatly increase the specific capacity, but they still suffer from poor cycling and rate performances due to their serious self-aggregations. Constructing 3D structures, such as micro/ nano-structures and free-standing electrodes, is a quite promising method to address the above issues. Such 3D structures can simultaneously avoid the disadvantages of low-dimensional nanomaterials, and preserve their advantages. As one group of promising high-capacity and low-cost electrode materials, vanadium-based oxides have exhibited an quite attractive electrochemical performance for energy storage applications in many novel works. However, their systematic reviews are quite limited, which is disadvantageous to their further development. Herein, this article provides an overview of vanadium-based oxides in the applications of LIBs and NIBs by focusing mainly on the aspect from low-dimensional nanomaterials synthesis to 3D micro/nano-structures and free-standing electrodes fabrication. Moreover, a feasible strategy to controllably fabricate the 3D micro/nano-structure for the whole vanadium-based oxides family is presented. Furthermore, and importantly, a quite promising solution method for the practical commercialized applications of vanadium oxides cathode materials in the future is proposed, i.e., fabricating the "vanadium oxides-based cathode/solid electrolyte/Li metal anode-type" all solid-state secondary-ion batteries.

Black phosphorus (BP) has received increasing research attention as an anode material in sodium ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high capacity, electronic conductivity and chemical stability. However, it is still challenging for BP based SIB anodes to achieve a high electrochemical performance utilizing cost-effective materials and synthetic methods. This work presents a sodium ion anode based on a facile BP -carbon nanocomposite synthesized from commercial red phosphorus and low-cost super P carbon black. Intimate interactions between BP and carbon are present which help to maintain the electrical conduction during cycling and therefore a high cycling stability is achieved. It exhibits a high capacity retention of 1381 mAh g -1 for sodium ion storage after 100 cycles, maintaining 90.5 % of the initial reversible capacity. Such high performance / materials cost ratio may provide direction for future phosphorus based anodes in high energy density SIBs.Cost-effective and high energy density batteries and battery materials are required to meet the demand of electricity storage. Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) attract increasing research attention because of the high abundance of sodium compared to lithium, and significant progress has been made in recent years. [1][2][3] Among the high-capacity anode materials (Sb, Sn, etc.) for sodium ion storage, phosphorus exhibits the highest theoretical capacity of 2596 mAh g −1 (Na 3 P). Significant research interest has been triggered by the prospects of high energy density SIBs based on phosphorus anodes. [4,5] Phosphorus exists in several allotropes that exhibit strikingly different properties. White phosphorus is chemically unstable, volatile, toxic and non-conducting, and therefore not suitable for battery applications. The most common allotrope, red phosphorus, is widely available and chemically stable, and has been studied intensively for sodium ion batteries. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] However, its low electrical conductivity appears to be a major drawback. To address this issue, these electrodes included a large amount of costly carbon nanomaterials (graphene, carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon nanofiber (CNF), etc.). For large scale applications the use of CNT's needs orders of magnitude reduced cost levels, [14] while also graphene and its processing are considered costly. [15] With respect to energy density and manufacturing cost these material factors [16] form a barrier for the commercial introduction of phosphorus as the anode materials for SIBs. Cost-effective super P carbon black are also investigated, [17] but the cycle life of the electrode (only 30 de-/sodiation cycles were reported) is still to be improved.The use of carbon should be noted because carbon and phosphorus do not form binary inorganic or molecular compounds; they can, however, form composites of phosphorus and carbon nanostructures held together by what will likely be weak van der Waals forces. The fact that no P-C compounds are stable implies that upon Na insertion and extraction there are...

Grid-scale energy storage systems with low-cost and high-performance electrodes are needed to meet the requirements of sustainable energy systems. Due to the wide abundance and low cost of sodium resources and their similar electrochemistry to the established lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted considerable interest as ideal candidates for grid-scale energy storage systems. In the past decade, though tremendous efforts have been made to promote the development of SIBs, and significant advances have been achieved, further improvements are still required in terms of energy/ power density and long cyclic stability for commercialization. In this review, the latest progress in electrode materials for SIBs, including a variety of promising cathodes and anodes, is briefly summarized. Besides, the sodium storage mechanisms, endeavors on electrochemical property enhancements, structural and compositional optimizations, challenges and perspectives of the electrode materials for SIBs are discussed. Though enormous challenges may lie ahead, we believe that through intensive research efforts, sodium-ion batteries with low operation cost and longevity will be commercialized for large-scale energy storage application in the near future.
