This review summarizes the inherent functionality of bulk, surface and interface defects, and their contributions towards mediating electron–hole separation in semiconductor photocatalysis.

Intermediate phases of LiCo₂O₃, CoO and ZnO are evidenced during the 1^st lithiation of a ZnCo₂O₄ anode.

Ca²⁺-Intercalated hydrated V₂O₅/rGO (CaVOH/rGO) is synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process and applied as a cathode for ARZIBs with an admirable specific capacity (409 mA h g⁻¹ at 0.05 A g⁻¹) and excellent energy density (381 W h kg⁻¹).

NiMoO₄ nanoflowers having pure crystalline phases with slight amorphous surface exhibited excellent battery-like electrochemical performance and potential for supercapattery positive electrodes.

A NiCo LDH nanosheet array on graphite felt is an efficient 3D OER catalyst with the need for an overpotential of 249 mV to drive 20 mA cm⁻² in 1.0 M KOH.

Structure and ionic conductivity of sulfide solid electrolytes in the Li₂S–P₂S₅ system obtained by a liquid phase process.

Alkoxide-intercalated NiFe-layered double hydroxides were synthesizedviathe nonaqueous methanolic route. These magnetic nanosheets can be exfoliated in water and exhibit an outstanding behaviour as OER electrocatalysts.
