Solid-state batteries (SSBs) based on inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) are considered promising candidates for enhancing the energy density and the safety of next-generation rechargeable lithium batteries. However, their practical application is frequently hampered by the high resistance arising at the Li metal anode/ISE interface. Herein, a review of the conventional solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) the recent research on quasi-solid-state battery (QSSB) approaches to overcome the issues of the state-of-the-art SSBs is reported. The feasibility of ionic liquid (IL)-based interlayers to improve ISE/Li metal wetting and enhance charge transfer at solid electrolyte interfaces with both positive and lithium metal electrodes is presented together with a novel generation of IL-containing quasi-solid-state-electrolytes (QSSEs), offering favourable features. The opportunities and challenges of QSSE for the development of high energy and high safety quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries (QSSLMBs) are also discussed.

Phase change materials (PCMs) are considered one of the most promising energy storage methods owing to their beneficial effects on a larger latent heat, smaller volume change, and easier controlling than other materials. PCMs are widely used in solar energy heating, industrial waste heat utilization, energy conservation in the construction industry, and other fields. To avoid leakage, phase separation, and volatile problems of PCMs, the encapsulation technique typically uses organic polymer materials as shell structures of microcapsules. Furthermore, using inorganic materials to enhance the thermal property of phase change microcapsules is a popular approach in recent research. Especially, graphene oxide (GO) with high thermal conductivity was used as a common thermal conducting additive to improve the thermal performance of phase change microcapsules. Due to its amphiphilic property, GO combined with PCM microcapsules can achieve a variety of nanostructures for thermal energy storage. In this paper, four aspects have been summarized: configuration of PCMs, methods of combining GO with phase change microcapsules, position and content of GO, and applications of PCM/GO microcapsules. This work attempts to discuss preparation methods and heat-conducting properties of the PCM/GO microcapsules, which helps to better promote the application-targeted design and greatly improve the thermal properties of PCM microcapsules for various applications.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) with high activity, unique selectivity, and nearly 100% atom utilization efficiency are promising for broad applications in many fields. This review aims to provide a summary of the current development of SACs and point out their challenges and opportunities for commercial applications in the energy process. The discussion starts with an introduction of various types of SACs materials, followed by typical SACs synthetic methods with concrete examples and commonly used characterization methods. The state-of-the-art synthesis methods, whereby SACs with stabilized single metal atoms on the substrate without migration and agglomeration could be obtained, are emphasized. Next, we give an overview of different types of substrates and discuss the effects of substrate species on the structure and properties of SACs. Then we highlight the typical applications of SACs and the remaining challenges. Finally, a perspective on the opportunities for the development of SACs for future commercial applications is provided.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are a promising candidate for low-cost and large-scale energy storage due to their abundant potassium resources. However, the potassiation-depotassiation of K+ presents a significant challenge due to its large ionic radius, which results in the pulverization of active materials and poor cyclability. Thus, researchers are exploring anode materials with a high specific capacity, long cyclability, and excellent rate capability. In this context, alloy-type anode materials are exceptional candidates due to their high theoretical capacity and low working potential. Nonetheless, the large volume expansion of active materials limits their practical application. This review discusses various strategies for overcoming these challenges, including nanostructure design, heterostructure design, alloy engineering, and compositing. The review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on alloy-based anodes for PIBs and offers insights into promising directions for future work toward commercializing PIBs.

Heteroatom-doped carbon materials have high gravimetric potassium-ion storage capability because of their abundant active sites and defects. However, their practical applications toward potassium storage are limited by sluggish reaction kinetics and short cycling life owing to the large ionic radius of K+ and undesirable parasitic reactions. Herein, we report a new strategy that allows for bottom-up patterning of thin N/P co-doped carbon layers with a uniform mesoporous structure on two-dimensional graphene sheets. The highly porous architecture and N/P co-doping properties provide abundant active sites for K+, and the graphene sheets promote charge/electron transfer. This synergistic structure enables excellent K+ storage performance in terms of specific capacity (387.6 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), rate capability (over 5 A g-1), and cycling stability (70% after 3,000 cycles). As a proof of concept, a potassium-ion capacitor assembled using this carbon anode yields a high energy density of 107 Wh kg-1, a maximum power density of 18.3 kW kg-1, and ultra-long cycling stability over 40,000 cycles.
杂原子掺杂碳材料由于其丰富的活性位点和缺陷，具有较高的重量钾离子储存能力。然而，由于K+离子半径大和不理想的寄生反应，它们的反应动力学缓慢，循环寿命短，限制了它们在钾储存方面的实际应用。在此，我们报告了一种新的策略，该策略允许在二维石墨烯片上自下而上地绘制具有均匀介孔结构的薄N/P共掺杂碳层。高多孔结构和N/P共掺杂性质为K+提供了丰富的活性位点，并且石墨烯片促进了电荷/电子转移。这种协同结构在比容量(0.05 A g-1时387.6 mAh g-1)，速率容量(超过5 A g-1)和循环稳定性(3000次循环后70%)方面具有出色的K+存储性能。作为概念验证，使用这种碳阳极组装的钾离子电容器产生107 Wh kg-1的高能量密度，18.3 kW kg-1的最大功率密度，以及超过40,000次循环的超长循环稳定性。
