Abstract Since penta-graphene (PG), a two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope exclusively
composed of five-membered rings, was proposed in 2015, a great deal of effort has been …

Energy storage and conversion technologies are vital to the efficient utilization of
sustainable renewable energy sources. Rechargeable lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) and the …

Despite the ever-growing demand in safe and high power/energy density of Li+ ion and Li
metal rechargeable batteries (LIBs), materials-related challenges are responsible for the …

The abundant reserve and low cost of sodium have provoked tremendous evolution of Na-
ion batteries (SIBs) in the past few years, but their performances are still limited by either the …

“Two-dimensional (2D) materials as electrodes” is believed to be the trend for future Li-ion
and Na-ion battery technologies. Here, by using first-principles methods, we predict that the …

Large-scale preparation of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is
significant due to their potential applications, such as catalysis, electronics, energy storage …

The research of sodium/potassium‐ion batteries (SIBs/KIBs) still has some way to go but its
success could possibly radically alter the way electricity is stored and used. As the key part …
