Energy storage devices such as batteries hold great importance for society, owing to their high energy density, environmental benignity and low cost. However, critical issues related to their performance and safety still need to be resolved. The periodic table of elements is pivotal to chemistry, physics, biology and engineering and represents a remarkable scientific breakthrough that sheds light on the fundamental laws of nature. Here, we provide an overview of the role of the most prominent elements, including s-block, p-block, transition and inner-transition metals, as electrode materials for lithium-ion battery systems regarding their perspective applications and fundamental properties. We also outline hybrid materials, such as MXenes, transition metal oxides, alloys and graphene oxide. Finally, the challenges and prospects of each element and their derivatives and hybrids for future battery systems are discussed, which may provide guidance towards green, low-cost, versatile and sustainable energy storage devices.

Abstract High energy density lithium-ion batteries are urgently needed due to the rapid growth demands of electric vehicles, electronic devices, and grid energy storage devices. There is still significant opportunity to improve the energy density of existing state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries by optimizing the separator thickness, which is usually ignored. Here, the dependence of battery gravimetric and volumetric energy densities on separator thickness has been quantitatively discussed in different type Li-ion batteries by calculations combined with experiments. With a decrease in separator thickness, the volumetric energy density is greatly improved. Meanwhile, the gravimetric energy densities are significantly improved as the electrolyte soaking in the separator is reduced. The gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of graphite (Gr) | NCM523 cells enable to increase 11.5% and 29.7%, respectively, by reducing the thickness of separator from 25 μm to 7 μm. Furthermore, the Li | S battery exhibits an extremely high energy density of 664.2 Wh Kg-1 when the thickness of the separator is reduced to 1 μm. This work sheds fresh light on the rational design of high energy density lithium-ion batteries.

Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are considered to be one of the most promising energy storage devices which have the potential of integrating high energy of lithium-ion batteries and high power and long cycling life of supercapacitors into one system. However, the current LICs could only provide high power density at the cost of low energy density due to the sluggish Li+ diffusion and/or low electrical conductivity of the anode materials. Moreover, the serious capacity and kinetics imbalances between anode and cathode result in not only inferior rate performance but also unsatisfactory cycling stability. Therefore, designing high-power and structure stable anode materials is of great significance for practical LICs. Under this circumstance, graphene-based materials have been intensively explored as anodes in LICs due to their unique structure and outstanding electrochemical properties and attractive achievements have been made. In this review, the recent progresses of graphene-based anode materials for LICs are systematically summarized. Their synthesis procedure, structure and electrochemical performance are discussed with a special focus on the role of graphene. Finally, the outlook and remaining challenges are presented with some constructive guidelines for future research.

Abstract In this paper, Sn-doped TiO2 nanomaterials with varying concentrations were manufactured through a simple procedure. The fabricated TiO2 and Sn loaded on TiO2 nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-rays, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and resistance analyses. The benefits of dielectric constant and ac conductivity rise at high Sn loaded concentration on TiO2 nanoparticles. The enhanced electrical conductivity is seen for STO3 (3.5% Sn doped TiO2) and STO4 (5% Sn doped TiO2) specimens are apparently associated with the introduced high defect TiO2 lattice. Furthermore, the fabricated specimens’ obtained findings may be applied as possible candidates for high-energy storage devices. Moreover, proper for the manufacture of materials working at a higher frequency.
