Titanium disulfide (TiS2) is investigated as an advanced conversion electrode for sodium (Na)‐ion batteries (NIB) in an ether‐based electrolyte (NaPF6/glyme (DME)). The as‐prepared TiS2 demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 1040 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 with the capacity contribution of 521 mA h g−1 in the voltage region below 1.0 V (vs Na/Na+), remarkable initial coulombic efficiency of 95.9% and superior rate capability of 621 mA h g−1 at 40 A g−1. The high conductivity of the Ti‐based compounds and nanosized particles generated by chemical conversion reactions could minimize the entropic barrier for the reversible conversion, resulting in high reversibility and ultrafast charge/discharge ability of the electrode. Moreover, with its strong ability to adsorb soluble polysulfide intermediates, the as‐prepared TiS2 electrode exhibits superior cycling stability over 9000 cycles, serving as a stable and ultra‐high capacity conversion electrode for NIBs.

Lithium metal anodes have long been considered as “holy grail” in the field of energy storage batteries, but dendrite growth and large volume changes hinder their practical applications. Herein, a facile and eco‐friendly CF4 plasma treatment is employed for the surface modification of Li anodes, and an artificial layer consisting of LiF and Li2C2 is fabricated for the first time. Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that the high adsorption energy of LiF and low Li+ diffusion barriers in Li2C2 induce uniform nucleation and planar growth of Li, guaranteeing a stable and dendrite‐free Li structure during the repeated plating/stripping process of cycling. Symmetric cells using CF4 plasma‐treated Li operate stably for more than 6500 h (at 2 mA cm−2 and 1 mAh cm−2) or 950 h (at 1 mA cm−2 and 10 mAh cm−2). When paired with a LiFePO4 cathode, full batteries deliver a high reversible capacity of 136 mAh g−1 (at 1 C) with considerable cycling stability (97.2% capacity retention over 200 cycles) and rate performance (116 mAh g−1 up to 5 C). This powerful application of plasma technology toward novel LiF‐Li2C2 artificial layers provide new routes for constructing environment‐friendly and high‐performance energy storage devices.
