Fast-charging batteries have attracted great attention, and are anticipated to charge electrical vehicles and consumer electronics to full-capacity in several minutes. However, commercial electrode materials in batteries generally have a limited rate performance and are difficult to be used in fast-charging batteries. Designing electrodes with an aligned structure is an effective way to shorten the ion transport path and improve the rate performance of a battery. The excellent electronic conductivity of carbon-based electrodes is another key factor for increasing the rate capability of rechargeable batteries. Therefore, aligned carbon-based electrodes (ACBEs) can significantly improve the power density by combining the advantages of an aligned structure and carbon-based materials. In this review, the mechanism, advantages, and challenges of ACBEs for fast-charging batteries are evaluated, and then the design and preparation methods of ACBEs based on their different dimensions are summarized, and their applications in different batteries are illustrated. Finally, the future development of ACBEs for fast-charging batteries is considered.

The commercialization of high‐energy‐density alkali metal (Li, Na, and K)–chalcogen (S, Se, and Te) batteries (AMCBs) has been primarily hindered by the volume expansion of chalcogen cathodes during repeated charging/discharging cycles, the shuttling effect of intermediates in the electrolytes, and unstable alkali metal anodes. Owing to their unique structural and physicochemical characteristics, including high specific surface areas, self‐doped N atoms, open pore structure, versatile compositions, and favorable chemical stability, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and their derivatives have been widely used in different battery components, such as cathodes, anodes, separators, and interlayers, to resolve these issues simultaneously. This review discusses recent advances in ZIFs and their derivatives for cathode construction, anode protection, and interlayer/separator design in AMCBs. The processing methods, structure and morphology engineering, composition tuning, and electrochemical performance of various ZIFs and their derivatives are systematically examined. More importantly, the remaining challenges and future research directions are summarized and discussed. This review is expected to offer new approaches for the rational design of ZIFs and their derivatives for emerging energy storage devices.

“…[ 22 ] Zuo and co‐workers developed cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated carbon nanowire arrays derived from cobalt hydroxide carbonate@ZIF‐67 core‐shell nanowire. [ 94 ] The Co‐C nanowires decorated carbon cloth as conductive matrix for sulfur active material possessed highly exposed active sites of cobalt nanoparticles, providing a dual effect in enhancing binding affinity between the cobalt nanoparticle incorporated materials and LiPSs, facilitating the redox reaction of sulfur species to promoted Li‐S batteries. However, cobalt atoms in ZIF‐67 tend to agglomerate into large particles during pyrolysis at high temperature, leading to a decrease in the number of anchoring sites and electrocatalytic active sites, which is attributed to the short Co‐Co distance in ZIF‐67.…”

Lithium‐sulfur batteries (Li‐S batteries) have been regarded as one of the most promising technologies to change the status quo of lithium‐ion battery and realize large‐scale energy storage applications. Nevertheless, the process of launching Li‐S batteries from lab to market is seriously hindered by their inherent shortages (for example, shuttled lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), and sluggish redox kinetics), which greatly restrict sulfur utilization and the battery cycle life. In this regard, Co‐based materials are effective to suppress the shuttle effect through anchoring soluble LiPSs and enhancing reaction kinetics. It is of great significance for the development of advanced catalytic materials to clarify the research progress of Co‐based materials in design strategy, modification mechanism and electrochemical properties. Considering this, we conduct a comprehensive review of recent progress with Co‐based materials utilized in Li‐S batteries. Specifically, the state‐of‐the‐art principles, challenges, and build strategies of Li‐S batteries are systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the chemical and catalytic interactions between the Co‐based materials and LiPSs, as well as energy storage performance of Co‐based materials are thoroughly discussed. Finally, we prospect the future opportunities and challenges for the practical application for advanced Li‐S batteries.
