Due to the high theoretical specific capacity and low cost of Sn, developing Sn‐based anode materials with long life is the key to their practical applications in lithium‐ion batteries. Herein, novel hierarchically porous NiSn alloys with interconnected ligament‐channel networks are synthesized via a two‐step dealloying strategy, involving corrosion of an Al97.5Ni2Sn0.5 precursor in NaOH, followed by partially etching Ni in HNO3. The architecture of the obtained NiSn‐3 h alloy contains the ligaments with the scale of about 115.2 nm and nanowalls with a thickness of several nanometers on the ligament surface, which can enhance the electron/ion transport kinetics and improve the tolerance to volume variation. The NiSn‐3h electrode exhibits superior Li storage performance in terms of satisfactory rate performance and excellent cycling stability with a reversible capacity of 213.9 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 1000 cycles. More importantly, the Li storage mechanism of NiSn‐3h is unveiled by operando X‐Ray diffraction, revealing the formation of lithiation products with low crystallinity at the end of discharge. In addition, on‐line differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy is used to detect the gas evolution of the NiSn‐3h electrode during the discharge–charge processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A class of ruthenium-nickel alloy catalysts featured with nanoporous nanowires (NPNWs) were synthesized by a strategy combining rapid solidification with two-step dealloying. RuNi NPNWs exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in which the RuNi-2500 NPNWs catalyst shows an OER overpotential of 327 mV to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and the RuNi-0 NPNWs catalyst requires the overpotential of 69 mV at 10 mA cm−2 showing the best HER activity in alkaline media. Moreover, the RuNi-1500 NPNWs catalyst was used as the bifunctional electrocatalyst in a two-electrode alkaline electrolyzer for water splitting, which exhibits a low cell voltage of 1.553 V and a long-term stability of 24 h at 10 mA cm−2, demonstrating that the RuNi NPNWs catalysts can be considered as promising bifunctional alkaline electrocatalysts. A class of ruthenium-nickel alloy catalysts featured with nanoporous nanowires (NPNWs) was synthesized by a strategy combined rapid solidification with two-step dealloying, in which the total cell voltage of RuNi-1500 NPNWs electrolyzer for water splitting is 1.553 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm−2.

• 3D Cu current collectors were gained by painting-alloying-dealloying and annealing. • The porous structure of 3D Cu was regulated by altering Ga mass and annealing. • The relationships between porous layer depth and performance were explored. • The Li deposition behaviors on 3D/2D Cu were clarified. Lithium metal anode has shown great potentials for achieving high energy density due to its high theoretical capacity and low redox potential, but its application is impeded by the dendrite proliferation and unstable solid electrolyte interface. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) porous Cu current collectors were fabricated via the combination of painting-alloying-dealloying with subsequent annealing, where the depth and length scale of the porous layer can be facilely regulated by controlling the alloying and annealing processes. In lithium metal batteries, the relationship between the Li deposition behavior and the porous layer depth was explored in detail via electrochemical measurements and ex-situ scanning electron microscopy. Notably, the A-3D Cu-14 current collector with the porous layer depth of around 34.5 µm exhibits long lifespan over 430 h at 1 mA cm−2 and low voltage hysteresis, in comparison with the pristine Cu foil and the porous Cu with thinner porous layers. The superior electrochemical performance of A-3D Cu-14 can be attributed to the enhanced suppression effect upon the Li dendrite deriving from the more accommodation capability of its thick porous layer, as well as the better homogenization of the Li+ ion flux caused by the porous structure. Furthermore, the Li@A-3D Cu-14 | LiFePO 4 full cell shows excellent cycling stability and rate capability in full battery tests.

• Nanoporous NiSb (np-NiSb) alloy was fabricated by a facile dealloying strategy. • The np-NiSb anode exhibits good cycling stability and superior rate capability. • Operando XRD reveals the sodiation/desodiation mechanism of the np-NiSb anode. • On-line DEMS verifies the gas release of half cells with NiSb anode during cycling. Engineering Sb-based anode materials is the key to enhance their electrochemical performance for sodium ion batteries (SIBs) by solving the issues of the rapid capacity decay and poor rate capability. In this work, a nanoporous NiSb alloy (np-NiSb) with a three-dimensionally interconnected ligament-channel structure was synthesized by a facile dealloying strategy. As an anode for SIBs, the np-NiSb alloy exhibits excellent cycling performance, rate capability and stability with a reversible capacity of 334.6 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 after 100 cycles, 155.6 mAh g −1 at 20 A g −1 and a capacity retention rate of 97% after 100 cycles at 1 A g −1. The nanoporous structure and the introduction of inactive Ni effectively tolerate the dramatic volume changes during the charge/discharge processes, restraining the pulverization of np-NiSb. The unique ligament-channel network structure with an average size of about 30 nm significantly shortens the ion transmission distance, ensuring the fast charge transfer at high rates. Operando X-ray diffraction reveals the sodiation/desodiation mechanism of the np-NiSb anode during the discharge/charge processes. In addition, on-line differential electrochemical mass spectrometry further explores the reaction mechanism of np-NiSb. This work highlights constructing nanoporous Sb-based alloys as an effective strategy to improve the performance of SIBs. [Display omitted] As an anode for SIBs, the np-NiSb alloy with bicontinuous ligament-channel structure exhibits good cycling stability with capacity retention rate of 97% over 100 cycles at 1 A g −1 (279.7 mAh g −1).

Nanoporous tungsten (np-W) synthesized by a facile dealloying strategy was utilized as the host to accommodate tellurium (Te) for Li-Te batteries. The np-W supported Te (np-W-Te) cathode exhibits an excellent specific volumetric capacity of 1168 mA h cm−3 after 30 cycles, a good cycling performance of 200 cycles with a coulombic efficiency over 98.9%, and fast rate capabilities of 1612 mA h cm−3 at a current density of 50 mA g−1 and 774 mA h cm−3 at 800 mA g−1. The excellent performance of the np-W-Te cathode is attributed to the highly dispersed Te impregnated in the np-W host with rich porosity, high conductivity and superior stability. The mechanism investigation by in situ Raman and ex situ XRD techniques demonstrates the reversible transformation between Li and Li 2 Te during the charge/discharge processes. This study highlights the nanoporous metal as a promising host to confine Te for Li-Te batteries. Nanoporous tungsten synthesized by dealloying acted as the host to accommodate Te for Li-Te batteries. ga1 • The as-dealloyed nanoporous W hosted Te as the cathode for Li-Te batteries. • The cathode exhibited high specific capacity, good cycling and rate performances. • The reversible conversion between Te and Li 2 Te is the mechanism for the battery.
