TL;DR: In this article, the most recent advance in the applications of 0D (nanoparticles), 1D(nanowires and nanotubes), and 2D (thin film) silicon nanomaterials in lithium-ion batteries are summarized.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review about the most recent progress in synthesis, characterization, fundamental understanding, and performance of graphene and graphene oxide sponges can be found in this paper, where the technical challenges are discussed, and several future research directions are also suggested.

TL;DR: This Review outlines major impactful work on silicon-based anodes, and the most recent research directions in this field, specifically, the engineering of silicon architectures, the construction of silicon- based composites, and other performance-enhancement studies including electrolytes and binders.

TL;DR: A double-layered core-shell structure of polymer-coated carbon-sulfur was developed and it was demonstrated that the sulfur not only successfully penetrated through the porous carbon shell but also aggregated along the inner wall of the carbon shell, which, for the first time, provided visible and convincing evidence that sulfur preferred diffusing into the hollow carbon rather than aggregating in/on the porous wall ofThe carbon.

TL;DR: The unique TiO2-C/MnO2 core-double-shell nanowires are synthesized for the first time using as anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and exhibit enhanced electrochemical performance with a higher discharge/charge capacity, superior rate capability, and longer cycling lifetime.
