AbstractAmong the various morphologies of carbon-based materials, hollow carbon nanostructures are of particular interest for energy storage. They have been widely investigated as electrode materials in different types of rechargeable batteries, owing to their high surface areas in association with the high surface-to-volume ratios, controllable pores and pore size distribution, high electrical conductivity, and excellent chemical and mechanical stability, which are beneficial for providing active sites, accelerating electrons/ions transfer, interacting with electrolytes, and giving rise to high specific capacity, rate capability, cycling ability, and overall electrochemical performance. In this overview, we look into the ongoing progresses that are being made with the nanohollow carbon materials, including nanospheres, nanopolyhedrons, and nanofibers, in relation to their applications in the main types of rechargeable batteries. The design and synthesis strategies for them and their electrochemical performance in rechargeable batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, potassium-ion batteries, and lithium–sulfur batteries are comprehensively reviewed and discussed, together with the challenges being faced and perspectives for them.

Electrochemical energy storage is becoming essential for portable electronics, electrified transportation, integration of intermittent renewable energy into grids, and many other energy or power applications. The electrode materials and their structures, in addition to the electrolytes, play key roles in supporting a multitude of coupled physicochemical processes that include electronic, ionic, and diffusive transport in electrode and electrolyte phases, electrochemical reactions and material phase changes, as well as mechanical and thermal stresses, thus determining the storage energy density and power density, conversion efficiency, performance lifetime, and system cost and safety. Different material chemistries and multiscale porous structures are being investigated for high performance and low cost. The aim of this Special Issue is to report the recent advances of materials used in electrochemical energy storage that encompasses supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries.

Layered oxides are promising electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries, the next generation of rechargeable batteries. The layered oxides with the tránition metallic manganese and iron have paid more attention due to its low-cost, eco-friendly, and facile preparation. In this work, the metallic sodium oxides with a layered structure based on Fe and Mn, NaFexMn1-xO2 (x = 1/3, 1/2 và 2/3) were synthesized via a solid-state reaction at 900 oC for 12–36 hours. All XRD patterns of NaFexMn1-xO2 pointed out the layered structure. In two ratio Fe:Mn = 1/3:2/3 and 1/2:1/2, the synthesized samples presented the P3-layered structure, while in ratio Fe:Mn = 2/3:1/3, the O3-structure was obtained. The lattice parameters were determined by Celref software. The lattice parameters and the volumic of unit cells depended on the ionic radius of cation Mn3+ and Fe3+. The Na-migration was studied by the cycling test with a constant current. The charge-discharge curves and the specific capacity depended on the ratio of Fe:Mn. The specific capacity was found out 120 mAh/g (1/2:1/2), 118 mAh/g (2/3:1/3), and 120 mAh/g (1/3:2/3). After 20 cycles, the capacity was maintained 77 mAh/g (1/2:1/2), 88 mAh/g (2/3:1/3), and 80 mAh/g (1/3:2/3).

Supercapacitors (SCs) have generated a great deal of interest regarding their prospects for application in energy storage due to their advantages such as long life cycles and high-power density. Graphene is an excellent electrode material for SCs due to its high electric conductivity and highly specific surface area. Conductive polymers (CPs) could potentially become the next-generation SC electrodes because of their low cost, facile synthesis methods, and high pseudocapacitance. Graphene/CP composites show conspicuous electrochemical performance when used as electrode materials for SCs. In this article, we present and summarize the synthesis and electrochemical performance of graphene/CP composites for SCs. Additionally, the method for synthesizing electrode materials for better electrochemical performance is discussed.

Electrode materials with a high specific capacitance, outstanding reversibility and excellent cycle stability are constantly pursued for supercapacitors. In this paper, we present an approach to improve the electrochemical performance by combining the advantages of both inorganic and organic. Ni-MnO2/PANi-co-PPy composites are synthesized, with the copolymer of aniline/pyrrole being coated on the surface of Ni-doped manganese dioxide nanospheres. The inorganic–organic composite enables a substantial increase in its specific capacitance and cycle stability. When the mass ratio of Ni-MnO2 to aniline and pyrrole mixed monomer is 1:5, the composite delivers high specific capacitance of 445.49[Formula: see text]F/g at a scan rate of 2[Formula: see text]mV/s and excellent cycle stability of 61.65% retention after 5000 cycles. The results indicate that the Ni-MnO2/PANi-co-PPy composites are promising electrode materials for future supercapacitors application.
