	NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) grown in the presence of MoS2 (rich in 1T phase) shows exceptional performance metrics for alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in this class of composites. The as-prepared NiFe LDH/MoS2 composite (abbreviated as MNF) exhibits a low overpotential (eta(10)) of 190 mV; a low Tafel slope of 31 mV dec(-1); and more importantly, a high stability in its performance manifested by the delivery of current output for 45 h. It is important to note that this could be achieved with an exceedingly low loading of 0.14 mg cm(-2). The mass activity of this composite (97 A g(-1)) is about 14 times greater than that of the conventional RuO2 (7 A g(-1) ) at eta = 200 mV. When normalized with respect to the total metal content, a mass activity of 1000 A g(-1) (eta = 300 mV) was achieved. Impedance analysis further reveals that the significant reduction in charge-transfer resistance and hence high current density (5 times greater as compared to NiFe LDH at eta = 300 mV) observed for MNF is associated with interfacial adsorption kinetics of intermediates (R-1). Significant enhancement in the intrinsic activity of MNF over LDH has been observed through normalization of current with the electrochemically active surface area. Computational studies suggest that the Ni centers in the composite act as the active sites for OER, which is well-corroborated with the observed postreaction appearance of Ni3+ species.&lt;/p&gt;

	To address the issue of nonuniform sodium deposition, in this study, V2ZnC (named VZC), which is synthesized by substituting Zn for Al in V2AlC, is used as a host material to facilitate effective Na utilization. The key concept is to utilize Zn and its forms as an active site to trap Na, while the high mechanical strength of VZC can accommodate volume changes in the sodium metal anode during charging and discharging. VZC displayed regulated plating and stripping at a higher current and capacity of 8 mA cm-2 and 2 mAh cm(-2), respectively, with Coulombic efficiency close to 99.99%.&lt;/p&gt;

	Fundamental understanding and controlling of sodium nucleation are essential for enhancing the performance, safety, and longevity of sodium metal batteries, which is not yet clearly understood in the case of sodium metal batteries. The present study showcases how a modification in the host material influences nucleation kinetics. Current-time transient studies on copper, carbon nanofiber, and tin-embedded carbon nanofiber interlayers employing the Scharifker-Hills model elucidate the mode of nucleation. This work tries to delve deep and presents a case study on how a tin-based interlayer can not only minimize the barrier for sodium nucleation but also direct the sequential progressive and instantaneous nucleation of sodium metal while reducing the overpotential substantially, resulting in crystalline, uniform Na-metal deposition. Further, to account for the complex dynamics of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation distinctly associated with alkali metal deposition, the SEI-fracture model has been included, and the quantification of electrochemical nucleation parameters is obtained. The results provide important insights into the sodium nucleation mechanism, paving the way to counter dendrite formation and SEI dissolution issues of the Na-metal anode.&lt;/p&gt;
