Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries offer a high theoretical energy density but suffer from poor cycling stability and polysulfide shuttling, which limits their practical application. To address these challenges, we developed a PANI-modified MoS-NG composite, where MoS nanoflowers were uniformly grown on graphene oxide (GO) through PANI modification, resulting in an increased interlayer spacing of MoS. This expanded spacing exposed more active sites, enhancing polysulfide adsorption and catalytic conversion. The composite was used to prepare MoS-NG/PP separators for Li-S batteries, which achieved a high specific capacity of 714 mAh g at a 3 C rate and maintained a low capacity decay rate of 0.085% per cycle after 500 cycles at 0.5 C. The larger MoS interlayer spacing was key to improving redox reaction kinetics and suppressing the shuttle effect, making the MoS-NG composite a promising material for enhancing the performance and stability of Li-S batteries.

In this work, a series of potassium ion (K) pre-intercalated sodium hydrogen vanadates (K-HNVO) are prepared through a facile route. The introduction of K modulates the microstructure of the pristine sodium metavanadate and increases the interlayer spacing, thereby resulting in improved charge transport kinetics. Moreover, the pillaring effect of K enhances the structural stability of the pristine material.

The O3-type NaNiFeMnO material is modified by introducing Sr into the Na sites and Al into the transition metal (TM) sites. The inactive Sr and Al serve as structural pillars within the NaO and TMO slabs, respectively, expanding the interlayer spacing and boosting the stability of the structure. The optimized cathode demonstrates a good rate performance of 117.

Hard carbon (HC), recognized as the most promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), exhibits multiple forms of sodium storage (adsorption on graphitic layers, insertion between graphitic sheets, and filling in closed pores). Low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and low plateau region capacity are the main issues with HC, and it is necessary to understand the evolution laws of graphitic layers and closed pores. Here, we regulate the structure of graphitic layers by deliberately changing the oxygen content in HC materials and reveal the mechanism of formation of closed pores.
