Abstract Although lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are one of the most promising energy storage devices owing to their high densities, sluggish reaction kinetics and severe shuttle effect sulfur cathodes hinder practical applications. Here, single atom zinc implanted MXene is introduced into a cathode, which can not only catalyze conversion reactions polysulfides by decreasing barriers from Li 2 S 4 /Li but also achieve strong interaction with due electronegativity atomic on MXene. Moreover,...
Abstract High‐entropy materials (HEMs) have great potential for energy storage and conversion due to their diverse compositions, unexpected physical chemical features. However, high‐entropy atomic layers with fully exposed active sites are difficult synthesize since phases easily segregated. Here, it is demonstrated that of transition‐metal carbide (HE‐MXene) can be produced via the selective etching novel MAX (also termed M n +1 AX ( = 1, 2, 3), where represents an early element, A element...
Single atom catalysts possess attractive electrocatalytic activities for various chemical reactions owing to their favorable geometric and electronic structures compared the bulk counterparts. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient approach producing single copper immobilized MXene CO2 reduction methanol via selective etching of hybrid A layers (Al Cu) in quaternary MAX phases (Ti3(Al1–xCux)C2) due different saturated vapor pressures Al- Cu-containing products. After Al layers, Cu atoms are...
Lithium (Li) metal has been considered as one of the most prospective anodes for Li-based batteries owing to its high theoretical gravimetric capacity (3860 mAh g-1) and low potential (-3.04 V vs standard hydrogen electrode (SHE)). Unfortunately, there commonly exist uncontrollable dendrites in lithium during repeated plating-stripping processes, causing short cycle life even circuiting batteries. Here, single zinc atoms immobilized on MXene (Ti3C2Clx) layers (Zn-MXene) were produced...
Metallic antimony (Sb) with gray allotrope has rarely been considered from the viewpoint of two‐dimension layered system is actually a graphite‐like material, in which Sb layers consist fused, ruffled, and six‐membered rings. Given that metallic nanosheets can be played like graphene, it would anticipated to obtain new anode material superior electrochemical performances for sodium storage. In this work, we propose an efficient strategy fabricate free‐standing via liquid‐phase exfoliation...
Abstract Although zinc metal anodes have some intrinsic advantages for aqueous ion batteries, the notorious dendrites hamper its practical applications. Herein, a charge‐enriched strategy through MXene‐based polypyrrole (MXene‐mPPy) layers is explored toward dendrite‐free Zn anode. The MXene‐mPPy composed of mesoporous PPy on both sides Ti 3 C 2 T x ‐MXene exhibit an exceptional charge enrichment ability (149 F g −1 , 5 mV s ), which beneficial not onlying terms accumulating levels, but also...
Abstract Zinc anodes are promising for zinc‐based batteries owing to the high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g −1 ), environmental‐friendliness, and good safety, but uncontrollable dendrites greatly hamper their practical applications. Here, a special nonmodulus liquid GaIn electrode is designed help understand failure mechanism of Zn anodes, demonstrating that there huge crystalline stress in plating anode causes fast growth substantial dendrites. To solve this issue, zinc‐enriched metal...
Abstract Converting spent lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) cathode materials into environmental catalysts has drawn more and attention. Herein, we fabricated a Co 3 O 4 ‐based catalyst from LiCoO 2 LIBs (Co ‐LIBs) found that the role of Al Cu current collectors on its performance is nonnegligible. The density functional theory calculations confirmed doping and/or upshifts d‐band center Co. A Fenton‐like reaction based peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation was adopted to evaluate activity....

In addition, the large surface area abundant anchor make ideal substrates supporting single atoms via covalent interaction. Herein, main strategies synthesis of SASs‐MXenes are first summarized, which cover capturing by cation vacancies, coordinating with...
Abstract Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are well recognized as potentially high‐energy systems to power portable electronics and electric vehicles. However, LMBs always undergo uncontrollable lithium deposition in metallic anodes due inhomogeneous ion flux, which causes limited output impedes their practical applications. Low‐tortuous arrays have been intensively investigated guide the fast transport of ions homogeneous growth lithium, thereby achieving high‐power LMBs. In this review,...

Although transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) monolayers are widely applied in electronics, optics, catalysis, and energy storage, their yield or output is commonly very low (<1 wt % micrometer level) based on the well-known top-down (e.g., exfoliation) bottom-up chemical vapor deposition) approaches. Here, 1T MoS2 with a high fraction of ∼90% were achieved via conversion Mo-based MXenes (Mo2CTx Mo1.33CTx) at temperatures hydrogen sulfide gas, which Mo-layer could be transformed to Mo...
