“…[9][10][11][12] To solve the intrinsic obstacles of TMSs anodes, several common and viable strategies have been proposed up to now, such as designing heterostructures, introducing vacancies, dimension reduction, and morphology control. [6,9,[13][14][15][16] Among them, heterostructure engineering by coupling TMSs with traditional carbon materials can accelerate the charge/mass transfer kinetics, expose more active sites and buffer the huge volumetric stress of TMSs upon cycling, [4,17] which are beneficial for the enhancement of short-term electrochemical performance. Nonetheless, the nonpolar nature of carbon materials makes it difficult to form strong interfacial electronic coupling between carbon substrate and polar TMSs, [4,18,19] which generally results in the relatively large interfacial electronic transfer resistance and insufficient confinement on TMSs during repeated Na + insertion/extraction process, finally leading to inferior long-term cyclic performance.…”

Recently, transition metal sulfides (TMSs) have been widely investigated as one of the promising anodes for SIBs owing to their superior electrochemical activities, high theoretical capacities, weak metalsulfur bond, and safe sodiation/desodiation potential. [6][7][8] Unfortunately, the rapid capacity degradation and unsatisfactory rate capability of TMSs anodes caused by the large volume stress, poor electronic conductivity, and high Na + migration energy barrier significantly deteriorate their commercial application. [9][10][11][12] To solve the intrinsic obstacles of TMSs anodes, several common and viable strategies have been proposed up to now, such as designing heterostructures, introducing vacancies, dimension reduction, and morphology control. [6,9,[13][14][15][16] Among them, heterostructure engineering by coupling TMSs with traditional carbon materials can accelerate the charge/mass transfer kinetics, expose more active sites and buffer the huge volumetric stress of TMSs upon cycling, [4,17] which are beneficial for the enhancement of short-term electrochemical performance. Nonetheless, the nonpolar nature of carbon materials makes it difficult to form strong interfacial electronic coupling between carbon substrate and polar TMSs, [4,18,19] which generally results in the relatively large interfacial electronic transfer resistance and insufficient confinement on TMSs during repeated Na + insertion/extraction process, finally leading to inferior long-term cyclic performance. Therefore, great efforts still need to be devoted to the elaborate structural design of TMSs-based heterostructures with extremely accelerated charge transfer and interfacial electronic interaction.As an emerging member of 2D materials, transition metal carbides or carbonitrides known as MXenes possess excellent redox activity, large and tunable interlayer spacing, metalliclevel conductivity, and low ion migration barrier. [5,[20][21][22] Furthermore, abundant surface groups such as O, OH, and F are prone to decorate MXenes during the hydrofluoric acid (HF) aqueous solution etching process, which endows MXenes with a chemical formula of M n+1 X n T x (where T x refers to surface groups), strong polarity, and the excellent ability to tune the charge distribution. [23][24][25][26] Consequently, derived from the advantages of MXenes, it can be anticipated that the electronic The MXene-based heterostructures have recently attracted great interest as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Nonetheless, the complicated and harsh preparation process impedes their further commercialization. Herein, a novel, safe, low-destructive, and universal strategy for rationally fabricating Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/transition metal sulfides (MS y ) heterostructures is presented via Lewis acidic molten salts etching and subsequent in situ sulfurization treatment. Benefiting from the interfacial electronic coupling between highly conductive Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (T x = O and Cl) and MS y (M = Fe, Co and Ni), the heterostructures possess remarkably impr...

“…For example, numerous materials with 1D-2D sandwich-like structures were observed. [91][92][93][94] Recently, Sun's research group produced an MXene@N-doped carbonaceous nanofiber 1D/2D structure using a microbeassisted assembly approach in which MXene configurations adhere homogeneously to N-doped carbonaceous nanofiber surface. The astonishing characteristics of amorphous bioderived N-doped carbonaceous nanoribbons (such as strong adsorption affinity to OH of MXene and conductivity) not only inhibit agglomeration of NiCo 2 Se 4 nanoparticles but also play a role to the electrochemical performances in 1D/2D based energy devices.…”

To address the global energy and environmental crisis, advanced energy storage systems with their superior electrochemical performances have been growing exponentially. The electrochemical properties of the selected electrode materials have a direct impact on the performance of these energy storage technologies. 2D structures are considered promising materials for energy storage systems because of their unique and outstanding electrochemical characteristics. Therefore, hybridization of 2D nanosheets with other low‐dimensional materials can improve storage capacity by modulating and exploiting the synergy between the same. This comprehensive review highlights energy storage devices, their mechanisms, and key problems, with a focus on electrodes made of new generation 2D hybrids. Following that, the strategies that enable face‐to‐point, face‐to‐line, and face‐to‐face heterointerfaces are discussed in details. In addition, a design approach is provided for synergistically coupling 2D with other quantum materials for designing efficient and long‐lasting storage systems. It is anticipated that this review article will serve as helpful motivation for developing excellent energy storage devices with improved electrochemical capability.

“…Typically, an in situ device contains an X-ray window that allows X-rays to reach the electrode material and detector. [205,212,213] A typical example, Ji and co-workers [9] used in situ XRD to reveal the role of the solid-solution phase in Li stripping/plating process of the Li 20 Ag. As shown in Figure 13j, the in situ XRD results clearly indicate that the Li stripping/ plating process of Li 20 Ag is accompanied by the evolution of the Li-Ag alloy phase without the metal Li phase.…”

The lithium metal anode is a competitive candidate for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries for its low redox potential and ultra‐high theoretical specific capacity. Nevertheless, obstacles regarding heterogeneous lithium deposition, dendrite growth, and poor Coulombic efficiency limit its practical application. Among rational electrode designs, carbon materials have been regarded as feasible hosts for stabilizing lithium to address the above issues due to their light weight, high conductivity, and adjustable physicochemical properties. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been made to design stereoscopic carbon materials with multitudinous lithiophilic sites and large specific surface areas to facilitate rapid lithium‐ion flux, nucleation and mitigate lithium dendrite formation by controlling the kinetics of lithium deposition. Furthermore, the mechanism of lithium plating/stripping is commendably elucidated with the help of advanced in situ characterization techniques. This progress report systematically reviews progress in carbon materials/lithium composite anodes for lithium metal batteries and the detailed parts are as follows: 1) carbon/lithium composite methods; 2) design lithiophilic mechanism; 3) various carbon materials substrates; 4) advanced in situ characterization techniques for lithium metal anodes; and 5) prospects toward the practical applications of advanced lithium metal batteries. This review provides new insights into lithium metal batteries’ technological development and practical application.
