	abstract = {<p>Poor cycling stability and capacity fade are primary concerns for next-generation anode materials for Li-ion batteries. In non-carbonaceous anode materials, alloying with Li leads to volume increase that affects practical applications, and increase in particle size, amorphization and reduced conductivity can all lead to a loss of performance. In this work, binary antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) and ternary copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS2) are synthesized by a convenient solvothermal process. These materials are used to study the Li-active/inactive concept, by incorporating Cu into Sb(2)S(3)forming CuSbS(2)wherein Cu is Li inactive whereas Sb is Li active. By direct comparison, we have shown that incorporating Cu into binary antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) resulting into ternary copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS2) addresses the problem of poor conductivity and capacity loss, as Cu provides conductivity leading to enhanced charge transfer and prevents Sb particle aggregation while charge-discharge by exhibiting spectator or diluent ion effect. The better performance of CuSbS(2)is associated with the better Li(+)ion diffusion in the CuSbS2(D=8.97x10(-15) cm(2) s(-1)) compared to Sb2S3(D=2.76x10(-15) cm(2) s(-1)) and lower series resistance of CuSbS2(R=4.70x10(5) omega) compared to Sb2S3(R=5.81x10(8) omega). We have also investigated the composite with the addition of rGO. The CuSbS2-rGO delivered a reversible capacity of 672 mAh g(-1)after 1000 cycles at 200 mA g(-1)which has shown best performance.</p>

	Aluminum is a high-energy-density material with low cost, making rechargeable aluminum ion batteries (AIBs) a attractive alternative to alkali metal ion batteries. However, the practical development of aqueous AIBs is hindered by limited electrode. Herein, we report FeSe2-decorated porous nitrogen and sulfur-doped carbon spheres (FSPNSCS) as a cathode material for aqueous AIBs, with an emphasis on the reaction kinetics and electrochemical performance. FSPNSCS is synthesized through a hydrothermal approach, confirmed by comprehensive characterizations using X-ray Diffraction for crystalline structure validation and Scanning Electron Microscopy for analyzing composite morphology. Electrochemical properties and kinetics are probed using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests. Ex-situ XRD reveals a notable peak shift towards higher 2 theta values during discharge, indicating lattice contraction due to Al3+ insertion. Sulfur and nitrogen doping impart elasticity to the lattice structure, enhancing stability during cycling. Ex-situ XPS confirms Al3+ storage and minimal oxide formation, as further supported by microscopic elemental mapping with HRTEM. The FSPNSCS cathode achieves a reversible capacity of 60 mAh g- 1 at a current density of 200 mA g- 1. The system exhibits outstanding cycling stability, retaining over 90 \% of its capacity at 500 mA g- 1 over 1000 cycles, highlighting its potential to advance aqueous AIBs for sustainable energy storage.</p>
