Abstract

Transition metal nitrides (TMNs), by virtue of their unique electronic structure, high electrical conductivity, superior chemical stability, and excellent mechanical robustness, have triggered tremendous research interest over the past decade, and showed great potential for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. However, bulk TMNs usually suffer from limited numbers of active sites and sluggish ionic kinetics, and eventually ordinary electrochemical performance. Designing nanostructured TMNs with tailored morphology and good dispersity has proved an effective strategy to address these issues, which provides a larger specific surface area, more abundant active sites, and shorter ion and mass transport…
