Encapsulation of Bi2S3 Within Multifunctional Sulfurized Polyacrylonitrile Matrix Enables High‐Performance Wide‐Temperature Sodium/Potassium‐Ion Batteries Through Solid–Solid Conversion

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT With high theoretical capacity and low cost, bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) demonstrates considerable potential as an anode for sodium/potassium‐ion batteries (SIBs/PIBs). Unfortunately, significant volume variation, low electrical conductivity, and dissolution of polysulfides drastically weaken their intrinsic merits.

MXene‐Based Materials Contribute Better Alkali Metal–Chalcogen Batteries: Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Alkali metal–chalcogen batteries (AMCBs) are one of the most promising next‐generation energy storage systems because of their high energy density and reasonably low cost. However, the practical application of AMCBs is severely hindered by the volume expansion of the chalcogen cathode, the shuttle effect of polychalcogenides, and unstable ...
