Integrated sensing systems are playing increasingly important roles in health monitoring as a spearhead of artificial intelligence. Rationally integrating the two key components of microsystems, that is, power sources and sensors, has become a desperate requirement. Micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) with high power delivery and long operating life have emerged as the next generation of microscale power supplies. MXenes, a novel growing family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides, show great potential in MSCs due to their metallic conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, and redox capability. Herein, the state of-the-art of MXene-based MSCs and their integrated sensing systems are briefly reviewed from the perspective of structures and functions. Firstly, the working mechanism and performance evaluation metrics of MXene are investigated. Secondly, typical fabrication technologies of MXene-based MSCs are thoroughly summarized and examined. Then, the application of MSC-powered integrated sensing systems in smart electronics is reviewed. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives in fabricating MXene-based MSCs and their self-powered integrated sensing microsystems are proposed.

Microsized alloying particles have broad application prospects as anodes of high energy density batteries, but their fast charging and long cyclic stability are seriously affected by the sluggish bulk diffusivity, poor stress response and uncontrolled electrode/electrolyte interface. Herein, we develop a microsized Bi-Sn alloying particle model system with the engineered eutectic phase boundaries (PBs) that provide high energy density, fast charging capability, and long cyclic stability for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). PBs with spacious atomic misalignment can effectively promote the bulk diffusivity, which facilitates the fast ion diffusion. The asynchronous multi-step alloying mechanism induced by PBs can not only maintain the permanent alloying driving force of particles by releasing stress, but also improve the mechanical robustness and interface stability of particles by changing the process of structure evolution. The Bi6Sn4 anode delivers a fast charging capability of 407 mAh g−1 at 8 A g−1 (20C), comparable even to the reported nano-sized alloy anodes. The electrode can also achieve a high tap density of 2.1 g cm−3 and a volumetric capacity of 1226 mAh cm−3, indicating a practical potential. The present results offer insights into the fast charging and durability for high energy SIBs by PBs engineering of microsized alloying particles.
微小合金颗粒作为高能量密度电池的阳极具有广阔的应用前景,但其快速充电和长周期稳定性受到体积扩散迟缓、应力响应差和电极/电解质界面不可控等因素的严重影响。在此,我们开发了一种具有工程共晶相界(PBs)的微尺寸铋硒合金颗粒模型系统,可为钠离子电池(SIBs)提供高能量密度、快速充电能力和长周期稳定性。具有宽敞原子错位的共晶相界可有效提高体扩散性,从而促进离子的快速扩散。PBs 诱导的异步多步合金化机制不仅能通过释放应力维持颗粒的永久合金化驱动力,还能通过改变结构演化过程提高颗粒的机械稳健性和界面稳定性。Bi6Sn4 阳极在 8 A g-1 (20C) 时可提供 407 mAh g-1 的快速充电能力,甚至可与已报道的纳米级合金阳极相媲美。该电极还能实现 2.1 g cm-3 的高分接密度和 1226 mAh cm-3 的体积容量,显示出实用潜力。本研究结果为通过微尺寸合金颗粒的 PBs 工程实现高能量 SIB 的快速充电和耐用性提供了启示。

Hydrogel electrolytes have emerged as effective strategies to prolong the lifespan of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs). However, dendrites and side reactions are still inescapable due to the residual active water and chaotic migration of Zn2+. Herein, a super stable Zn anode is realized through the synergistic effect of interfacial electron-ion dual transmission channels (EIDC) and an intermediate sodium alginate (SA) gel. Specifically, the SA gel can adjust the solvation structure of Zn2+ and weaken the strong bonding of Zn2+ and H2O molecules. The EIDC polymer layer (PEDOT:PSS) is engineered on the SA hydrogel surfaces, in which PSS chains can offer uniform ion transmission channels via the electrostatic interaction between SO3– groups and Zn2+. While another PEDOT chains can provide electron conducting channels through the conjugated π-π bonds to accelerate charge exchange. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of EIDC polymer layer and SA gel, the as-prepared SA/EIDC gel electrolyte achieves a high ionic conductivity of 41 mS cm–1. The Zn//Zn symmetric batteries exhibit a super-long lifespan of 6750 h at 1 mA cm–2 and 1 mAh cm–2 (>9 months), and cycling life of MnO2-Zn full battery surpasses 4000 cycles. This work presents a new perspective on designing hydrogel electrolytes towards ultra-long lifespan ZIBs.
水凝胶电解质已成为延长锌离子水电池(AZIB)寿命的有效策略。然而,由于活性水的残留和 Zn2+ 的混乱迁移,枝晶和副反应仍然不可避免。在此,通过界面电子-离子双传输通道(EIDC)和中间海藻酸钠(SA)凝胶的协同效应,实现了超稳定的锌阳极。具体来说,海藻酸钠凝胶可以调整 Zn2+ 的溶解结构,削弱 Zn2+ 与 H2O 分子的强结合。在 SA 水凝胶表面设计了 EIDC 聚合物层(PEDOT:PSS),其中 PSS 链可通过 -SO3- 基团与 Zn2+ 之间的静电作用提供均匀的离子传输通道。而另一种 PEDOT 链则可通过共轭 π-π 键提供电子传导通道,加速电荷交换。得益于 EIDC 聚合物层和 SA 凝胶的协同作用,制备的 SA/EIDC 凝胶电解质达到了 41 mS cm-1 的高离子电导率。在 1 mA cm-2 和 1 mAh cm-2 条件下,Zn//Zn 对称电池具有 6750 小时的超长寿命(9 个月),MnO2-Zn 全电池的循环寿命超过 4000 次。这项工作为设计超长寿命 ZIB 的水凝胶电解质提供了新的视角。

Conversion-type metal sulfide anode with high theoretical capacity has received increasing attention in Na-ion batteries (SIBs), but the irreversible conversion of Na2S intermediate in charging process usually engenders low rate capability and poor cycling stability. Herein, guided by DFT calculation, a new-type carbonaceous graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) catalyst is first reported to boost conversion kinetics of Na2S intermediate to pristine MoS2 in SIBs. Notably, the large chemisorbed energy, high selectivity and low catalytic energy barrier of g-CN catalyst can ensure its affluent charge transfers to Na2S intermediate, which chemically anchor and decompose Na2S intermediate for catalyzing its reversible conversion. Moreover, the microfluidic strategy is developed to enhance the mass diffusion of g-CN catalyst precursors into MoS2 skeleton for facilitating their subsequently covalent bonding process. The covalent bonding of g-CN catalyst on 1T-MoS2 (1T-MoS2/g-CN) superlattice with strong interfacial interaction via C-Mo bond can greatly promote Na+-storage kinetics of MoS2 in discharging process and reversible conversion reaction of Na2S intermediate to pristine MoS2 in following charging process, which is further evidenced by DFT calculation and in-situ characterizations. Consequently, the 1T-MoS2/g-CN superlattice reveals superb rate capacity and excellent cycling stability.

Low-grade waste heat recovery is a promising pathway to achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. In recent years, thermo-electrochemical cells (also known as thermocells or thermogalvanic cells) driven by low-grade heat have been emerging as a cutting-edge technology due to their ultrahigh Seebeck coefficient, high flexibility and low cost, and they possess large application prospects in wearable electronic devices, self-powered Internet-of-Thing sensors and industrial waste heat recovery. In the past years, a large deal of work has been conducted to improve the power density and conversion efficiency from the aspects of electrode materials, electrolyte materials, etc., and giant advances have been achieved. However, the commercial applications of thermocells are still hindered by their low power density and conversion efficiency. Given these issues, this work aims to give an overview of the fundamentals, materials, operating parameters, research methods, current applications and specify the corresponding underlying challenges, and conclude the prospects to provide valuable guidelines for further design and optimization of thermocells.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) that offer superior safety, mechanical strength and flexibility are crucial for advancing next-generation sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Conventional SPEs often display temperature sensitivity, leading to relatively low ionic conductivity at room temperature (RT). Herein, lignin-based SPEs (LG-SPEs) are created by solvation and desolvation of lignin and sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (NaFSI). Theoretical calculations reveal that lignin (containing rich functional groups) and FSI− molecules facilitate the movement of Na-ions within the electrolyte by minimizing steric hindrance and offering migration sites. Consequently, LG-SPEs demonstrate an enhanced ionic conductivity of 3.4 × 10−4 S cm−1 at RT, with a Na-ion transfer number as high as 0.53. The assembled all-solid-state SIB comprising Na3V2(PO4)3/LG-SPE/NaTi2(PO4)3 exhibits excellent electrochemical performance at RT, achieving a specific capacity of 95 mA h g−1 and retaining 82 % of its capacity after 200 cycles at 0.1 C. This work presents an environmentally friendly and straightforward methodology for developing high-performance SPEs at RT, while also opening up new avenues for the valorization of lignin.

P2-type layered Mn-based oxides are promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), but it is still challenging to achieve both high capacity and stability because of complex phase transitions and irreversible oxygen release at high voltage. To address these challenges, an optimal P2-type Na0.67Mn0.8Cu0.15Ti0.05O2 (NMCT) cathode with a complete solid-solution reaction and reversible oxygen redox reaction over a wide voltage range was developed. The introduction of the Na–O–Ti configuration leads to fewer delocalized electrons on oxygen and thus enhances oxygen redox activity, while the high energetic overlap between O 2p and Cu 3d states and the increased Mn–O hybridization strengthen the rigidity of oxygen framework to achieve reversible and stable oxygen redox reaction. In addition, the reinforced TM–O interaction, combined with the ameliorated Mn3+ Jahn-Teller distortion and disrupted Na+/vacancy ordering, synergistically eliminate the undesired P2–OP4 phase transition and lead to a complete solid-solution reaction, which greatly facilitates Na+ transport kinetics and stabilizes structural integrity. As a consequence, improved rate performance and cycling stability are achieved for NMCT. Our present study provides a promising avenue for simultaneously utilizing the reversible oxygen redox activity and maintaining the structural integrity to accomplish the capacity-stability trade-off of Mn-based oxide cathodes for constructing practical SIBs.
P2- 型层状锰基氧化物是钠离子电池(SIB)的前景看好的阴极材料,但由于复杂的相变和高电压下不可逆的氧释放,要同时实现高容量和稳定性仍具有挑战性。为了应对这些挑战,我们开发了一种最佳的 P2- 型 Na0.67Mn0.8Cu0.15Ti0.05O2 (NMCT) 阴极,它具有完全的固溶反应和宽电压范围内的可逆氧氧化还原反应。Na-O-Ti 构型的引入导致氧上的脱局域电子减少,从而增强了氧氧化还原活性,而 O 2p 态和 Cu 3d 态之间的高能量重叠以及 Mn-O 杂化的增加增强了氧框架的刚性,从而实现了可逆且稳定的氧氧化还原反应。此外,强化的 TM-O 相互作用与改善的 Mn3+ Jahn-Teller 畸变和破坏的 Na+/ 空位有序相结合,协同消除了不希望发生的 P2-OP4 相变,实现了完全的固溶反应,从而极大地促进了 Na+ 运输动力学并稳定了结构的完整性。因此,NMCT 的速率性能和循环稳定性都得到了改善。我们目前的研究为同时利用可逆氧氧化还原活性和保持结构完整性提供了一条很有前景的途径,从而实现锰基氧化物阴极的容量-稳定性权衡,构建出实用的 SIB。

Sodium-ion batteries attract significant interest for large-scale energy storage owing to abundant sodium reserves, while challenges remain in the high synthesis energy consumption, long synthesis period, and poor electrochemical performance of sodium-ion layered oxide materials. This study presents a general high-temperature thermal shock (HTS) strategy to synthesize and optimize sodium-ion layered oxides. The rapid ramping, sintering, and cooling processes minimize volatile sodium loss during HTS, facilitating the improvement of phase purity and effectively optimizing the microstructure of materials in a non-equilibrium state. As a proof of concept, Mn-based Na0.67MnO2 treated with HTS (NMOHTS) suppresses Mn ion vacancy within transition material layers, thereby increasing the redox centers and lowering the Mn 3d orbital energy level. Besides, the formation of transition metal layer stacking faults mitigates the structural transformation and Na+-vacancies ordering arrangement during cycling. Consequently, the energy density of the NMOHTS increases by 21.5 % to 559 Wh kg-1, with an outstanding rate capability of 108 mAh g-1 at 10C and an impressive capacity retention of 93.7 % after 300 cycles at 1C. In addition, we demonstrate the universality of HTS in synthesizing various other sodium-ion layered oxides, including nickel-based and iron-based cathodes, as well as in activating degraded materials.

This study presents a general high-temperature thermal shock (HTS) strategy to synthesize and optimize sodium-ion layered oxides. The rapid ramping, sintering, and cooling processes minimize volatile sodium loss during HTS, facilitating the improvement of phase purity and effectively optimizing the microstructure of materials in a non-equilibrium state.

Understanding the thermal stability of lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells is critical to ensuring optimal safety and reliability for various applications such as portable electronics and electric vehicles. In this work, we demonstrate a combined modeling and experimental framework to interrogate and quantify the role of different degradation modes on the thermal stability and safety of Li-ion cells. A physics-based Li-ion cell aging model is developed to describe the underpinning role of degradation mechanisms such as Li plating, solid electrolyte interphase growth, and the loss of electrode active material on the resulting capacity fade during cycling. By incorporating mechanistic degradation descriptors from the aging model, we develop a degradation-aware cell-level thermal stability framework that captures key safety characteristics such as thermal runaway (TR) onset temperature, self-heating rate, and peak TR temperature for different cycling conditions. Additionally, we perform electrochemical and accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) experiments to evaluate the thermo-kinetic parameters associated with the various exothermic reactions during TR of pristine and aged Li-ion cells. Through a synergistic integration of thermo-electrochemical characteristics from the ARC experiments and degradation insights from the cell aging model, the proposed aging-coupled safety framework provides a baseline to quantify the thermal stability of Li-ion cells subject to a wide range of operating conditions and degradation scenarios.

Surface coating presents an effective methodology for mitigating the detrimental effects of large volume changes inherent to high-capacity anode materials (e.g. Si, SiOx). However, designs often prioritize the protection of internal active particles, inadvertently neglecting the intricate interplay between the coating layer and the external electrolyte which exhibits profound influences on the solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs). Inspired by the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) protecting biological cells (e.g. yeast) from predation and chemical damages, we prepare a conducting polymer-based EPS system (CP-EPS) on a surface bilayer comprising soft carbon membranes and compact graphene walls, constructing the biomimetic cellular structure. The CP-EPS chemically interacts with electrolyte catalyzing the symbiosis of integrated LiF-enriched SEIs and physically provide sufficient resilience for SEIs. This resilient SEIs offer excellent reaction kinetics and roughness which protects the structural integrity of the particle and itself from pulverization and excessive SEI thickening. The prepared SiOx anode delivers a superior average coulombic efficiency of 99.4 % over 200 cycles at 0.5C and a high reversible capacity of 730 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 2C.
表面涂层是减轻大容量阳极材料(如 Si、SiOx)固有的大体积变化的有害影响的有效方法。然而,在设计中通常会优先考虑保护内部活性颗粒,却无意中忽略了涂层与外部电解质之间错综复杂的相互作用,而外部电解质对固体电解质相间层(SEIs)有着深远的影响。受保护生物细胞(如酵母)免受捕食和化学损害的胞外聚合物物质(EPS)的启发,我们在由软碳膜和致密石墨烯壁组成的表面双层上制备了基于导电聚合物的 EPS 系统(CP-EPS),构建了仿生物细胞结构。CP-EPS 与电解质发生化学作用,催化富含锂离子的集成 SEI 的共生,并为 SEI 提供足够的物理弹性。这种弹性 SEI 具有出色的反应动力学和粗糙度,可保护颗粒及其本身的结构完整性,防止粉化和 SEI 过度增厚。制备的氧化硅阳极在 0.5 摄氏度条件下循环 200 次后,平均库仑效率达到 99.4%,在 2 摄氏度条件下循环 300 次后,可逆容量达到 730 mAh g-1。
