The influence of in-situ induced and MnO2 polymorph-dependent structural changes to the energy storage and mechanism of supercapacitors

Due to its economic, environmental, and theoretical advantages, manganese dioxide (MnO2) is a promising cathode material for supercapacitors. However, the commercial application of MnO2 still faces challenges such as low intrinsic conductivity, slow ion diffusion, and structural instability. In this study, four crystalline forms of MnO2 powder electrodes (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-MnO2) were prepared, and results showed that with a specific capacitance of 218.2 F∙g−1, δ-MnO2 exhibited the best electrochemical performance. This was primarily due to the fact that δ-MnO2 possesses a high specific surface area, rich oxygen vacancy, and fast electron-ion transfer speed. A self-supported electrode (δ-MnO2/NF) without binder addition was further prepared using an in-situ-induced technique. The results revealed that the specific capacitance of δ-MnO2/NF was as high as 809.4 F∙g−1 and that the capacity retention rate and coulombic efficiency after 5000 cycles were 92.8 % and 99.2 %, respectively, which were superior to those of δ-MnO2 (80.3 % and 93.5 %). In-situ induction not only amplifies the structural advantages of δ-MnO2 but also generates more electrochemical active sites due to the intense interaction between NF and δ-MnO2. In addition, ultrathin nanosheet arrays formed on the NF provide a three-dimensional conductive network for the transport of ions and electrons. Density functional theory calculations were performed to verify the excellent electronic conductivity and ion diffusivity of δ-MnO2 and showed that transferring electrons from metal Ni to δ-MnO2 is the basis for producing numerous oxygen vacancies in δ-MnO2/NF.

Analysis and optimization of lead-free perovskite solar cells: investigating performance and electrical characteristics

Several studies on solar cells using SCAPS-1D were conducted to investigate their performance, which are typically limited to I–V analysis for DC characterization. Therefore, in the present study, a very wide frequency range from 10–2 Hz to 1012 Hz was employed to explore diffusion processes and investigate the performance of lead-free Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) featuring as a novel heterostructure. These investigations concern the optimization of MASnI3 thickness as an absorber. Additionally, the impact of series (Rs) and shunt (Rsh) resistances is also examined. From the I–V analysis, it was determined that the power efficiency (PCE) could be achieved at a thickness of 0.6 µm. Increasing the series resistance (Rs) led to a significant decrease in the fill factor (FF) and (PCE), whereas the shunt resistance (Rsh) demonstrated a notable improvement in both (FF) and (PCE). Analysis of AC characteristics revealed complex impedance (Z*) and modulus (M*) indicative of main ionic transport, recombination, and diffusion processes crucial for optimization. An appropriate equivalent circuit model was developed and validated through deconvolution and theoretical considerations, yielding parameters such as the time constant for each process. It was observed that ionic conductivity and electronic diffusion play key roles in balancing charge collection and recombination losses. The critical influence of series and shunt resistance on low and high-frequency processes was emphasized, underscoring their significance in solar cell efficiency. A strong correlation was established between the evolution of time constants for each process and power conversion efficiency (PCE).

Unravelling the Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting of Nanometer-Thick Carbon Nitride Layer.

Matching the thickness of the graphitic carbon nitride (CN) nanolayer with the charge diffusion length is expected to compensate for the poor intrinsic conductivity and charge recombination in CN for photoelectrochemical cells (PEC). Herein, the compact CN nanolayer with tunable thickness is in situ coated on carbon fibers. The compact packing along with good contact with the substrate improves the electron transport and alleviates the charge recombination. The PEC investigation shows CN nanolayer of 93nm-thick yields an optimum photocurrent of 116µAcm-2 at 1.23V versus RHE, comparable to most micrometer-thick CN layers, with a low onset potential of 0.2V in 1m KOH under 1 sun illumination. This optimum performance suggests the electron diffusion length matches with the thickness of the CN nanolayer. Further deposition of NiFe-layered double hydroxide enhanced the surface water oxidation kinetics, delivering an improved photocurrent of 210µAcm-2 with IPCE of 12.8% at 400nm. The CN nanolayer also shows extended potential in PEC organic synthesis. This work experimentally reveals the PEC behavior of the nanometer-thick CN layer, providing new insights into CN in the application of energy and environment-related fields.

Quantum critical phase of FeO spans conditions of Earth’s lower mantle

Seismic and mineralogical studies have suggested regions at Earth’s core-mantle boundary may be highly enriched in FeO, reported to exhibit metallic behavior at extreme pressure-temperature (P–T) conditions. However, underlying electronic processes in FeO remain poorly understood. Here we explore the electronic structure of B1-FeO at extreme conditions with large-scale theoretical modeling using state-of-the-art embedded dynamical mean field theory (eDMFT). Fine sampling of the phase diagram reveals that, instead of sharp metallization, compression of FeO at high temperatures induces a gradual orbitally selective insulator-metal transition. Specifically, at P–T conditions of the lower mantle, FeO exists in an intermediate quantum critical state, characteristic of strongly correlated electronic matter. Transport in this regime, distinct from insulating or metallic behavior, is marked by incoherent diffusion of electrons in the conducting t2g orbital and a band gap in the eg orbital, resulting in moderate electrical conductivity (~105 S/m) with modest P–T dependence as observed in experiments. Enrichment of solid FeO can thus provide a unifying explanation for independent observations of low seismic velocities and elevated electrical conductivities in heterogeneities at Earth’s mantle base.

Promoting effect of lanthanum doping on photovoltaic performance of CZTSSe solar cells.

A large open-circuit voltage (VOC) deficit is the major challenge hindering the efficiency improvement of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. Cation substitution, or doping, is usually an effective strategy to achieve carrier regulation and improve efficiency. In this work, we developed a rare-earth element lanthanum (La) doped CZTSSe thin-film solar cell by directly introducing La3+ ions into the CZTS precursor solution. Such a proposed La doping approach could effectively enhance light harvesting, adjust the bandgap, and increase the electron diffusion length. Furthermore, appropriate concentrations of La doping can reduce harmful defect cluster. Benefiting from the La doping, the VOC significantly increases from 431 to 497 mV. Consequently, the power conversion efficiency is enhanced significantly from 6.54% (VOC = 431 mV, JSC = 25.50 mA/cm2, FF = 58.28%) for the reference cell to 10.21% (VOC = 497 mV, JSC = 35.20 mA/cm2, FF = 58.41%) for the optimized La-doped cell. This research provides a new direction for enhancing the performance of CZTSSe cells, offering promising prospects for the future of CZTSSe thin-film solar cells.

Diffusional Electron Transport Coupled to Thermodynamically Driven Electron Transfers in Redox-Conductive Multivariate Metal-Organic Frameworks.

The development of redox-conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and the fundamental understanding of charge propagation through these materials are central to their applications in energy storage, electronics, and catalysis. To answer some unresolved questions about diffusional electron hopping transport and redox conductivity, mixed-linker MOFs were constructed from two statistically distributed redox-active linkers, pyromellitic diimide bis-pyrazolate (PMDI) and naphthalene diimide bis-pyrazolate (NDI), and grown as crystalline thin films on conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO). Owing to the distinct redox properties of the linkers, four well-separated and reversible redox events are resolved by cyclic voltammetry, and the mixed-linker MOFs can exist in five discrete redox states. Each state is characterized by a unique spectroscopic signature, and the interconversions between the states can be followed spectroscopically under operando conditions. With the help of pulsed step-potential spectrochronoamperometry, two modes of electron propagation through the mixed-linker MOF are identified: diffusional electron hopping transport between linkers of the same type and a second channel that arises from thermodynamically driven electron transfers between linkers of different types. Corresponding to the four redox events of the mixed-linker MOFs, four distinct bell-shaped redox conductivity profiles are observed at a steady state. The magnitude of the maximum redox conductivity is evidenced to be dependent on the distance between redox hopping sites, analogous to the situation for apparent electron diffusion coefficients, Deapp, that are obtained in transient experiments. The design of mixed-linker redox-conductive MOFs and detailed studies of their charge transport properties present new opportunities for future applications of MOFs, in particular, within electrocatalysis.

Effects of tempering treatment on structural evolution and electrochemical properties of laser cladded NiAlCrZrMo medium–entropy alloy coating by DFT calculation

A NiAlCrZrMo medium–entropy alloy (MEA) coating with solid solution was fabricated by laser cladding, which was evolved to high–entropy alloy (HEA) structure by tempering treatment for the improvement of corrosion resistance. The effects of tempering treatment on the structural evolution and electrochemical properties of obtained MEA coatings were comparatively investigated, and the corrosion mechanism was discussed with the density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The results show that the MEA structure of original MEA coating is evolved to HEA structure of tempered MEA coating by tempering treatment, which is composed of AlNi2Ti and Cr phases. The charge transfer resistance of tempered MEA coating is increased by ∼140 times compared with the original MEA coating, in which the diffusion of electrons is held back by its HEA structure. Moreover, the tempered MEA coating possesses higher electrochemical resistance compared with the original MEA coating, which is attributed to the AlNi2Ti phase of tempered MEA coating decreasing the corrosion tendency by the effect of high–entropy evolution.

From macro to micro: Biomass-derived advanced carbon microtube assembly for sodium-ion batteries

Developing high-rate anode materials for sodium-ion batteries is important to fulfill the requirement of high-power energy storage applications. Amorphous carbon micro-tubes (CMTs) are favorable for fast Na-ion storage, for the open carbon framework provides sufficient electrode/electrolyte contact and the one-dimensional skeleton offers fast electron and ion diffusion pathways. Herein, N, Fe co-doped carbon micron-tubes (NF-CMTs) were synthesized for the high-rate anode by using bulk biomass as the precursor. The transformation from the macro-sized biomass to the micro-sized carbon tubes was endowed by pyrolysis using N and Fe as catalysts. The open carbon frameworks enable capacitive-controlled capacity contribution, while its N-Fe defects offer multiple active sites for fast Na-ion storage. A high-capacity contribution was demonstrated by the pseudo-capacitive mechanism so that the NF-CMTs performed a superior rate capability of 120 mAh g−1 at 2.0 A g−1. The NF-CMTs with stable micro-tube frameworks exhibited high cycling stability over 1200 cycles, which was much superior to the commercial hard carbon anode. This study provides a cost-effective approach to develop carbon micro-tubes from bulk biomass for high-power SIB anodes.

Anomalous Resistivity and Electron Heating by Lower Hybrid Drift Waves during Magnetic Reconnection with a Guide Field.

The lower hybrid drift wave (LHDW) has been a candidate for anomalous resistivity and electron heating inside the electron diffusion region of magnetic reconnection. In a laboratory reconnection layer with a finite guide field, quasielectrostatic LHDW (ES-LHDW) propagating along the direction nearly perpendicular to the local magnetic field is excited in the electron diffusion region. ES-LHDW generates large density fluctuations (δn_{e}, about 25% of the mean density) that are correlated with fluctuations in the out-of-plane electric field (δE_{Y}, about twice larger than the mean reconnection electric field). With a small phase difference (∼30°) between two fluctuating quantities, the anomalous resistivity associated with the observed ES-LHDW is twice larger than the classical resistivity and accounts for 20% of the mean reconnection electric field. After we verify the linear relationship between δn_{e} and δE_{Y}, anomalous electron heating by LHDW is estimated by a quasilinear analysis. The estimated electron heating is about 2.6±0.3 MW/m^{3}, which exceeds the classical Ohmic heating of about 2.0±0.2 MW/m^{3}. This LHDW-driven heating is consistent with the observed trend of higher electron temperatures when the wave amplitude is larger. Presented results provide the first direct estimate of anomalous resistivity and electron heating power by LHDW, which demonstrates the importance of wave-particle interactions in magnetic reconnection.

Theoretical study on the effect of shear deformation on MoTe2 as cathode material for calcium ion batteries.

In this study, the electronic structure and diffusion barrier of Ca adsorbed MoTe2 system under different degrees of shear deformation were calculated based on the first-principles method. The results show that both the pure MoTe2 system and Ca-adsorbed MoTe2 system are affected by shear deformation. The pure MoTe2 undergoes a transition from direct to indirect band gap under shear deformation. The adsorption of Ca makes MoTe2 changes from semiconductor to quasi-metal. The results of the density of states show that Ca insertion makes the conduction band part of the adsorption system significantly enhanced. The diffusion barrier of Ca through MoTe2 indicates that the shear deformation promotes the diffusion of Ca on the surface of MoTe2. Shear deformation can effectively modulate the electronic properties of the MoTe2 system, which provides a theoretical basis for the application of MoTe2 materials in the field of ion batteries. In this study, Materials Studio 8.0 software was used to construct the MoTe2 model and Ca adsorbed MoTe2 model, and the CASTEP module was used for first-principles calculation.

Quantifying the diffusion of suprathermal electrons by whistler waves between 0.2 and 1 AU with Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe

Context. The evolution of the solar wind electron distribution function with heliocentric distance exhibits different features that are still unexplained, in particular, the fast decrease in the electron heat flux and the increase in the Strahl pitch angle width. Wave-particle interactions between electrons and whistler waves are often proposed to explain these phenomena. Aims. We aim to quantify the effect of whistler waves on suprathermal electrons as a function of heliocentric distance. Methods. We first performed a statistical analysis of whistler waves (occurrence and properties) observed by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe between 0.2 and 1 AU. The wave characteristics were then used to compute the diffusion coefficients for solar wind suprathermal electrons in the framework of quasi-linear theory. These coefficients were integrated to deduce the overall effect of whistler waves on electrons along their propagation. Results. About 110 000 whistler wave packets were detected and characterized in the plasma frame, including their direction of propagation with respect to the background magnetic field and their radial direction of propagation. Most waves are aligned with the magnetic field and only ∼0.5% of them have a propagation angle greater than 45°. Beyond 0.3 AU, it is almost exclusively quasi-parallel waves propagating anti-sunward (some of them are found sunward but are within switchbacks with a change of sign of the radial component of the background magnetic) that are observed. Thus, these waves are found to be Strahl-aligned and not counter-streaming. At 0.2 AU, we find both Strahl-aligned and counter-streaming quasi-parallel whistler waves. Conclusions. Beyond 0.3 AU, the integrated diffusion coefficients show that the observed waves are sufficient to explain the measured Strahl pitch angle evolution and effective in isotropizing the halo. Strahl diffusion is mainly attributed to whistler waves with a propagation angle of θ ∈ [15.45]°, although their origin has not yet been fully determined. Near 0.2 AU, counter-streaming whistler waves are able to diffuse the Strahl electrons more efficiently than the Strahl-aligned waves by two orders of magnitude.

Visible Light as a Promising Signal Amplification Tool for the Efficient Electrochemical Detection of Azithromycin Antibiotic by Using Photoactive Spinel Nickel Ferrite Nanoflakes

An efficient photoactive spinel NiFe2O4 nanoflakes (NFO NFs) was successfully prepared and integrated into an electrochemical sensor for the sensitive determination of Azithromycin (AZM) under visible light illumination. With the introduction of 532 nm laser illumination, NFO NFs could be easily excited and induce the charge-separation state with electrons in the conduction band and holes in the valence band. Upon illumination, the low band gap value in combination with edge-to-flat-surface/edge-to-edge conjunctions of NFO NFs could form the electron transfer pathway for transferring photogenerated electron-hole pairs to the AZM analyte-NFO electrode interface. Hence, the fabricated visible light-assisted NFO-based electrochemical sensor shows remarkable enhanced analytical performance, with calculated values of electron transfer rate constant, adsorption capacity, diffusion coefficient, and catalytic rate constant under visible light illumination of 1.29, 1.27, 2.08, and 3.40 times higher than in the dark condition, respectively. As a result, the NFO-based electrochemical sensing platform in the presence of visible light illumination possessed a high electrochemical sensitivity of 0.070 μA μM−1 in a wide linear dynamic range of 2.5–150 μM and a detection limit of 1.67 μM and also exhibited excellent anti-interference ability, repeatability, storage stability, reproducibility, and practical feasibility for AZM detection in pharmaceutical tablets.

Ideal Structures of Isolated BiVO4 Nanoparticles on WO3 Nanocorals to Enhance Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Evolution

Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) of n-type semiconductors have recently garnered significant attention in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) field. In this study, isolated BiVO4 NPs on anodized WO3 nanocorals are investigated with respect to the formation mechanism of the NPs and the correlation between particle size and PEC efficiency. The sizes and distances of the BiVO4 NPs on the WO3 nanocorals are controlled via spin-coating and heat-treatment. The optimized BiVO4 NPs, with ideal sizes of 10 nm and distances of 100 nm between them, exhibit satisfactory electron and hole diffusion lengths, suppressing electron–hole recombination and promoting the exposure of WO3 to ultraviolet light. Furthermore, high-quality BiVO4, without the formation of by-products due to the optimized concentrations of Bi and V in the precursor solution, results in a 2.3-fold higher photocurrent density and H2 production, and a 6-fold higher incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) compared to those of pristine WO3 nanocorals.

Impact of Mass‐Loading Effect on the Competition in the Energy Conversion Rate During Magnetic Reconnection

AbstractHeavy particles are extensively detected in the space environment, especially in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetosphere. Various physical processes can be affected by the physical dynamics of heavy particles. One of the processes is magnetic reconnection, which converts the energy from the magnetic field to the particles. In the present study, we investigate the impact of heavy particles with increasing mass (i.e., mass‐loading effect) on energy conversion rate during magnetic reconnection. The declined reconnection rate and energy conversion rates by this effect are captured as reported previously. After considering three major regions in reconnection, it reveals that the mass‐loading effect decreases more energy conversion rate of positive species at the separatrix, affects the heavier species less in the inner electron diffusion region (EDR), and propels the formation of a non‐zero electric field at reconnection front (RF). Our results provide a more comprehensive understanding of the magnetic reconnection with complicated plasma components.

Preparation of hierarchical porous carbon sieve through the decomposition-templating of NaHCO3 for high areal energy density micro-supercapacitor

Porous carbon proves a crucial electrode material for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) due to its favourable electrical conductivity, along with chemical and thermal stability. Nevertheless, the low area accessible to ions and the long electron diffusion paths commonly result in a low energy density for carbon-based MSCs. Here, an alga-based carbon sieve with an interconnected and hierarchical porous structure was prepared and employed as the electrode material to construct MSCs by 3D printing. The interconnected and hierarchical structure facilitates electrolyte diffusion and ion transport, resulting in a high specific capacitance of 145 mF cm−2 and an impressive energy density of 20.14 μWh cm−2 for the MSC. Moreover, the device exhibits excellent mechanical properties and long cycle life. These findings demonstrate the potential of devices for application in microelectronic devices.

Physical Insights into THz Rectification in Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Transistors

Metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) have proven to be effective devices for rectifying electromagnetic radiation at extremely high frequencies, approximately 1 THz. This paper presents a new interpretation of the THz rectification process in the structure of an MOS transistor. The rectification depends on the nonlinear effect of the carrier dynamics. The paper shows that the so-called self-mixing effect occurs within the interface region between the source and the channel. The basic tool used numerical TCAD simulations, which offer a direct interpretation of different aspects of this interaction. The complex, 2D effect is examined in terms of its basic aspects by comparing the MOS structure with a simplified case study structure. We demonstrate that a contribution to the output-rectified voltage detectable at the drain arises from the charging of the drain well capacitance due to the diffusion of excess electrons from the self-mixing interaction occurring at the source barrier. In addition, the paper provides a quantitative description of the rectification process through the definition of the output equivalent circuit, offering a new perspective for the design of detection systems.

Preparation of Na3V2(PO4)3 Cathode Materials by Hydrothermal Assisted Sol-Gel Method for Sodium -Ion Batteries

Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathode material of the sodium ion battery (1 C=117 mAh g-1) has a NASICON-type structure, which not only facilitates the rapid migration of sodium ions, but also has a small volume deformation during sodium ion de-intercalation and the main frame mechanism remains unchanged, and thus is seen as an energy storage material for a wide range of applications, but has a limited electronic conductivity due to its structure. In this paper, NVP cathode materials with finer primary particles are successfully prepared using a simple hydrothermal treatment-assisted sol-gel method. The increased pore size of the NVP materials prepared under the hydrothermal process allows for more active sites and more effective resistance to the volume deformation of sodium ions during insertion/extraction processes, effectively facilitating the diffusion of ions and electrons. The Na3V2(PO4)3 material obtained by the optimized process exhibited good crystallinity in XRD characterization, as well as superior electrochemical properties in a series of electrochemical tests. A specific capacitance of 106.3 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C is demonstrated, compared to 96.5 mAh g-1 for Na3V2(PO4)3 without hydrothermal treatment, and cycling performance is also improved with 93% capacity retention. The calculated sodium ion diffusion coefficient (DNa = 5.68 × 10-14) obtained after EIS curve fitting of the improved sample illustrates that the pore structure is beneficial to the performance of the Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode material.

Widespread extracellular electron transfer pathways for charging microbial cytochrome OmcS nanowires via periplasmic cytochromes PpcABCDE

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) via microbial nanowires drives globally-important environmental processes and biotechnological applications for bioenergy, bioremediation, and bioelectronics. Due to highly-redundant and complex EET pathways, it is unclear how microbes wire electrons rapidly (>106 s−1) from the inner-membrane through outer-surface nanowires directly to an external environment despite a crowded periplasm and slow (<105 s−1) electron diffusion among periplasmic cytochromes. Here, we show that Geobacter sulfurreducens periplasmic cytochromes PpcABCDE inject electrons directly into OmcS nanowires by binding transiently with differing efficiencies, with the least-abundant cytochrome (PpcC) showing the highest efficiency. Remarkably, this defined nanowire-charging pathway is evolutionarily conserved in phylogenetically-diverse bacteria capable of EET. OmcS heme reduction potentials are within 200 mV of each other, with a midpoint 82 mV-higher than reported previously. This could explain efficient EET over micrometres at ultrafast (<200 fs) rates with negligible energy loss. Engineering this minimal nanowire-charging pathway may yield microbial chassis with improved performance.

Enabling 20 min fast-charging Ah-level pouch cell by tailoring the electronic structure and ion diffusion in TiNb2O7

TiNb2O7 has garnered attention as promising anode materials due to its remarkable cycling durability and rate capability, but its practical applications are currently hampered by the sluggish ion/electron kinetics. Herein, we propose a bimetallic synergistic strategy to enhance ionic and electronic transport kinetics, improving electrochemical performance. DFT calculation results further confirm the synergistic effect of Zn and Nb can increase the lattice parameters, promote Li+ diffusion, and enhance electronic conductivity. Benefiting from this, the Zn0.02Ti0.94Nb2.04O7 exhibits excellent cycling stability (a capacity loss of 0.02 % per cycle over 1000 cycles). An Ah-level pouch cell presents potential application with an impressive cycle lifespan, corresponding to an ultra-high retention ratio of 88.6 % (2.34 Ah) over 2700 cycles. Importantly, in-situ XRD and Nano-CT techniques elucidate the positive impact of the incorporation of Zn and Nb on the fundamental ion transport mechanisms, which is verified by the decreased mechanic effects, and promoted Li+-diffusion kinetics. This work offers a straightforward strategy to significantly improve the rate performance and cycling stability of TiNb2O7, establishing guidelines for fabricating fast-charging batteries with long cycling lifespans.

MoS2 Hollow Multishelled Nanospheres Doped Fe Single Atoms Capable of Fast Phase Transformation for Fast‐charging Na‐ion Batteries

AbstractLow Na+ and electron diffusion kinetics severely restrain the rate capability of MoS2 as anode for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). Slow phase transitions between 2H and 1T, and from NaxMoS2 to Mo and Na2S as well as the volume change during cycling, induce a poor cycling stability. Herein, an original Fe single atom doped MoS2 hollow multishelled structure (HoMS) is designed for the first time to address the above challenges. The Fe single atom in MoS2 promotes the electron transfer, companying with shortened charge diffusion path from unique HoMS, thereby achieving excellent rate capability. The strong adsorption with Na+ and self‐catalysis of Fe single atom facilitates the reversible conversion between 2H and 1T, and from NaxMoS2 to Mo and Na2S. Moreover, the buffering effect of HoMS on volume change during cycling improves the cyclic stability. Consequently, the Fe single atom doped MoS2 quadruple‐shelled sphere exhibits a high specific capacity of 213.3 mAh g−1 at an ultrahigh current density of 30 A g−1, which is superior to previously‐reported results. Even at 5 A g−1, 259.4 mAh g−1 (83.68 %) was reserved after 500 cycles. Such elaborate catalytic site decorated HoMS is also promising to realize other “fast‐charging” high‐energy‐density rechargeable batteries.
