    The development of novel electrode materials with good electrochemical performances is necessary for the expanded and varied applications of lithium-ion batteries, and this development heavily relies on cathode materials. Due to excellent thermal stability, abundance, low cost, and environmental friendliness, orthosilicate cathode materials Li2MSiO4 (M = Fe, Mn) has received a lot of attention recently. The present review article gives a glimpse into the characteristics, advantages, and recent progress of orthosilicate cathode materials. This review starts with a brief history and working mechanism of batteries, the advantages of cathode materials followed by types of cathode materials, various synthesis methods, and different techniques used for their characterization. The most current initiatives to enhance orthosilicate Li2MSiO4 type electrochemical performances were introduced in this review. We provide a critical assessment of the efficient modification techniques for the orthosilicate Li2MSiO4 type cathode materials in particular. These potential cathode materials� synthesis, structure, morphologies, and particularly electrochemical performances have been thoroughly examined. This evaluation, we hope, will clarify the sustained advancement of high-efficiency and reasonably priced Li-ion batteries. � 2023 IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Synergistically modified WS2@PANI binary nanocomposite-based all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor with high energy density

    The rapid development of intelligent, wearable, compact electronic equipment has triggered the need for durable, flexible, and lightweight portable energy storage devices. Nanomaterials that are capable of delivering the high specific power density and commensurate energy density are potential candidate for realizing such devices. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of a binary nanocomposite WS2@PANI by utilizing hydrothermal and physical blending techniques to assess it as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitors. The nanocomposite electrode delivered specific capacitance >335 F g?1 @ 10 mV s?1 (two-electrode), achieving energy and power densities of ?80 W h kg?1 and ?800 W kg?1, respectively, with capacitance retention of 83% even after 5000 charge-discharge cycles @ 10 A g?1, all of which are superior to the WS2 electrode. Dunns model quantifies capacitive and intercalative contributions that showed the cumulative effect of both to realize a robust, cost-effective, and energy-efficient device. The strategically incorporated PANI broadened the electrochemical window and the device's overall performance, resulting in high specific energy density. We demonstrated that our all-solid-state symmetric supercapacitor could be used to illuminate a light-emitting diode and drive a rotary motor. We believe that our WS2@PANI binary nanocomposite will be a potential candidate for energy storage devices. � 2022 The Royal Society of Chemistry
