Abstract
VO2 with its special tunnel structure and high theoretical capacity is an ideal candidate for cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the slow kinetics and structural instability due to the strong electrostatic interactions between the host structure of VO2 and Zn2+ hinder its application. Defect engineering is a well-recognized strategy for improving the intrinsic ion-electron dynamics and structural stability of this material. However, the preparation of oxygen vacancies poses significant difficulties, and it is challenging to control their concentration effectively. Excessive or insufficient vacancy concentration can have a negative effect on the cathode material. Herein, we propose electrode materials with controlled oxygen vacancies prepared in situ on carbon nanofibers (CNF) by a simple, one-step hydrothermal process (Ov-VO2@CNF). This method can balance the adsorption energy and migration energy barrier easily, and we maximized the adsorption energy of Zn2+ while minimizing the adsorption energy barrier. Notably, the Ov2-VO2@CNF electrode delivered a high specific capacity (over 450 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and excellent cycle stability (318 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 capacity after 2000 cycles with a capacity retention of 85%). This rational design of precisely regulated defect engineering provides a way to obtain advanced electrode materials with excellent comprehensive properties.

Abstract
V-based materials are considered promising candidates as cathode materials for zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the inherent low conductivity of V-based compounds leads to the sluggish diffusion kinetics of Zn2+ and serious cycling capacity degradation of ZIBs. Herein, 1D Zn3V2O7(OH)2·2H2O (ZVO) nanowires were grown on monodisperse 2D Ti3C2T x MXene nanosheets via a facile microwave-assisted method. The introduction of Ti3C2T x MXenes effectively improved the conductivity and hydrophilicity of ZVO. Furthermore, the Zn2+ diffusion coefficient of ZVO/Ti3C2T x composites was enhanced to 10-7-10-8 cm2 s-1, which was superior to that of pure ZVO nanowires (10-8-10-10 cm2 s-1) and other previously reported typical V-based cathodes. The ZIBs based on the ZVO/Ti3C2T x cathode possessed an excellent discharge specific capacity of 215.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and cycling stability (84% retention over 14 000 cycles at 10 A g-1). Moreover, the flexible Zn//ZVO/Ti3C2T x ZIBs using a gel electrolyte still exhibited good cycling stability and rate performance.

Abstract
Exploring covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) with high capacitative activity is highly desirable and challenging. Herein, the S-rich CTFs cathode is pioneeringly introduced in Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZSC), achieving outstanding capacity and energy density, and satisfactory anti-freezing flexibility. Specifically, the S-bridged CTFs are synthesized by a bifunctional template-catalytic strategy, where ZnCl2 serves as both the catalyst/solvent and in situ template to construct triazine frameworks with interconnected pores and layered gaps. The resultant CTFs (CTFS-750) are employed as a reasonable pattern-like system to more deeply scrutinize the synergistic effect of S-bridged triazine and layered porous architecture for polymer-based cathodes in Zn-ion storage. The experimental results indicate that the adsorption barriers of Zn-ions on CTFS-750 are effectively weakened, and accessible Zn2+-absorption sites provided by the C─S─C and C═N bonds have been confirmed via DFT calculations. Consequently, the CTFS-750 cathode-assembled ZSC displays an ultra-high capacity of 211.6 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1, an outstanding energy density of 202.7 Wh kg-1, and attractive cycling performance. Moreover, the resulting flexible ZSC device shows superior capacity, good adaptability, and satisfactory anti-freezing behavior. This approach sheds new light on constructing advanced polymer-based cathodes at the atom level and paves the way for fabricating high-performance ZSC and beyond.

Abstract
Due to safety problems caused by the use of organic electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries and the high production cost brought by the limited lithium resources, water-based zinc-ion batteries have become a new research focus in the field of energy storage due to their low production cost, safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness. This paper focused on vanadium dioxide and expanded graphite (EG) composite cathode materials. Given the cycling problem caused by the structural fragility of vanadium dioxide in zinc-ion batteries, the feasibility of preparing a new composite material is explored. The EG/VO2 composites were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method, and compared with the aqueous zinc-ion batteries assembled with a single type of VO2 under the same conditions, the electrode materials composited with high-purity sulfur-free expanded graphite showed more excellent capacity, cycling performance, and multiplicity performance, and the EG/VO2 composites possessed a high discharge ratio of 345 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, and the Coulombic efficiency was close to 100%. The EG/VO2 composite has a high specific discharge capacity of 345 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 with a Coulombic efficiency close to 100%, a capacity retention of 77% after 100 cycles, and 277.8 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 78% at a 20-fold increase in current density. The long cycle test data demonstrated that the composite with expanded graphite effectively improved the cycling performance of vanadium-based materials, and the composite maintained a stable Coulombic efficiency of 100% at a high current density of 2 A/g and still maintained a specific capacity of 108.9 mAh/g after 2000 cycles.

Abstract
Tunnel-type vanadium oxides are promising cathodes for aqueous zinc ion batteries. However, unlike layer-type cathodes with adjustable layer distances, enhancing ion-transport kinetics in tunnels characterized by fixed sizes poses a considerable challenge. This study highlights that the macroscopic arrangement of the electrode crucially determines tunnel orientation, thereby influencing ion transport. By changing the material morphology, the tunnel orientation can be optimized to facilitate rapid ion diffusion. In a proof-of-concept demonstration, it is revealed that (00l) facets-dominated VO2 (B) nanobelts with dispersive morphology (VO2-D) tend to adopt a stacking pattern with directional ion transport along the c-axis on the electrode and guarantee fast ion diffusion. Compared with the aggregated sample (VO2-A) that tends to random arrangement on the electrode with isotropic and slow ion transfer behavior, the electrode featuring dispersive (00l) facets-dominated VO2 (B) nanobelts displays directional and fast ion diffusion behavior, thus exhibits an ultrahigh-rate performance (420.8 and 344.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 10 A g-1, respectively) and long cycling stability (84.3% capacity retention under 5000 cycles at 10 A g-1). The results suggest that simultaneous manipulation of exposed crystal facet and morphology-related electrode arrangement should be promising for boosting the ion-transport kinetics in tunnel-type vanadium oxide cathodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (RAZIBs) have received extensive attention because of their advantages of low cost, high safety, and nontoxicity. However, problems such as dissolution of the active cathode material, dendrites/passivation of the zinc anode, and slow reaction kinetics hindered their further applications. In this work, a crystalline/amorphous composite-type material composed of crystalline MnCO3 and amorphous MnOx was prepared and used as the cathode material for RAZIBs. The MnCO3@amorphous MnOx (MnCO3@A-MnOx) composite possesses the merits of both the pure crystalline phase of MnCO3 and the amorphous phase of MnOx, which can deliver better electrochemical performance than the corresponding single component in repeated cycles. In addition, crystalline MnCO3 undergoes a complex phase transition to the active MnO2 during the first charge process, providing the composite with a stable structure and additional electrochemical capacity. The electrochemical measurement results indicate that the MnCO3@A-MnOx electrode can display high reversible discharge capacity at 0.1 A g-1, excellent rate performance at 5.0 A g-1, and long cycling stability over 2000 cycles, showing great potential as a cathode material for high-performance RAZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) and aqueous magnesium ion batteries (AMIBs) offer powerful alternatives for large-scale energy storage because of their high safety and low cost. Consequently, the design of high-performance cathode materials is essential. In this paper, we present a simple strategy that combines oxygen defect (Od) engineering with a 2D-on-2D homogeneous nanopape-like bilayer V2O5 nH2O xerogel (BL-HVOd NPS). This strategy employs Od to improve Zn2+/Mg2+insertion/extraction kinetics and reduce irreversible processes for high-performance AZIBs/AMIBs. And interlayer water molecules serve as an effective spacer to stabilize the expanded interlayer gap in BL-HVOd NPS, thereby providing extended diffusion channels for Zn2+/Mg2+ during insertion/extraction. The interlayer water molecules help shield the electrostatic interaction between Zn2+/Mg2+ and BL-HVOd NPS lattice, which improves diffusion kinetics during repeated. In addition, electrochemical characterization results indicate that the BL-HVOd NPS can effectively the surface adsorption and internal diffusion of Zn2+/Mg2+. More importantly, the successfully prepared unique 2D-on-2D homogenous nanopaper structure enhances electrolyte/electrode contact and reduces the migration/diffusion path of electrons/Zn2+ and Mg2+, thus greatly improving rate performance. As a result, the BL-HVOd NPS as AZIBs/AMIBs electrodes offer better reversible capacity of 361.8 and 162.8 mA h g-1 (at 0.2 A g-1), while displaying impressively long cycle lifes. This method provides a way to prepare advanced xerogel cathode materials for AZIBs and AMIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-metal batteries are considered to have the potential for energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. However, the practical applications of zinc batteries are limited by dendrite growth and side reactions. Epitaxial growth is considered an effective method for stabilizing Zn anode, especially for manipulating the (002) plane of deposited zinc. However, (002) texture zinc is difficult to achieve stable cycle at high capacity due to its large lattice distortion and uneven electric field distribution. Here, a novel zinc anode with highly (101) texture (denoted as (101)-Zn) is constructed. Due to unique directional guidance and strong bonding effect, (101)-Zn can achieve dense vertical electroepitaxy in near-neutral electrolytes. In addition, the low grain boundary area inhibits the occurrence of side reactions. The resultant (101)-Zn symmetric cells exhibit excellent stability over 5300 h (4 mA cm-2 for 2 mAh cm-2 ) and 330 h (15 mA cm-2 for 10 mAh cm-2 ). Meanwhile, the cycle life of Zn//MnO2 full cell is meaningfully improved over 1000 cycles.

Abstract
Although the layered vanadium oxide-based materials have been considered to be one of the candidates for aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs), it still faces inevitable challenges of unsatisfactory capacities and sluggish kinetics because of strong electrostatic interactions between Zn-ions and structure lattice. This work addresses the strategy of pre-inserting guest materials to vanadium oxide cathode using different intercalants. To achieve this goal, the small organic dye molecules, methyl orange (MO), and methylene blue (MB) are proposed as the intercalants for vanadium oxygen hydrate (VOH). It has been demonstrated that use of these intercalants can facilitate reaction kinetics between Zn2+ and VOH, leading to an improvement of specific capacity (293 mAh g-1 at 0.3 A g-1 for MO-VOH and 311 mAh g-1 for MB-VOH) compared to VOH, a large enhancement of excellent energy density (237.1 Wh kg-1 for MO-VOH, 232.3 Wh kg-1 for MB-VOH), and a prolong lifespan operation at 3 A g-1 . The mechanism studies suggest that the weakened electrostatic interactions between the Zn-ions and V-O lattice after intercalating organic molecules contribute to boosting the electrochemical performance of AZIBs unveiled by charge density difference and binding energy.

Abstract
The inferior capacity and cyclic durability of V2 O5 caused by inadequate active sites and sluggish kinetics are the main problems to encumber the widespread industrial applications of vanadium-zinc batteries (VZBs). Herein, a cooperative redox chemistry (CRC) as "electron carrier" is proposed to facilitate the electron-transfer by capturing/providing electrons for the redox of V2 O5 . The increased oxygen vacancies in V2 O5 provoked in situ by CRC offers numerous Zn2+ storage sites and ion-diffusion paths and reduces the electrostatic interactions between vanadium-based cathode and intercalated Zn2+ , which enhance Zn2+ storage capability and structural stability. The feasibility of this strategy is fully verified by some CRCs. Noticeably, VZB with [Fe(CN)6 ]3- /[Fe(CN)6 ]4- as CRC displays conspicuous specific capacity (433.3 mAh g-1 ), ≈100% coulombic efficiency and superb cyclability (≈3500 cycles without capacity attenuation). Also, the mechanism and selection criteria of CRC are specifically unraveled in this work, which provides insightful perspectives for the development of high-efficiency energy-storage devices.

Abstract
Aqueous potassium-ion batteries have garnered significant interest due to their eco-friendly characteristics and affordability. However, The suboptimal lifetime and restricted energy density of electrode materials present considerable obstacles to the advancement of aqueous potassium ion batteries. In this paper, we report a Ce doped MnO2 material (Ce-MnO2). Ce-MnO2 with large lattice spacing and abundant oxygen defects successfully triggered the intercalation pseudocapacitance behavior in aqueous potassium ion batteries. The intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism gives MnO2 good capacity and enhanced stability. The Ce-MnO2 demonstrates a high discharge capacity of 120 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a low concentration electrolyte. It also has a capacity retention rate of 82.5% at 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1. The application of the intercalation pseudocapacitance mechanism offers a new approach to addressing the challenges associated with aqueous potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The Zn metal anode in aqueous Zn batteries faces a number of challenges including instable deposition and corrosion issues. Here, we present an interface environment regulation for a Zn electrode with a low concentration electrolyte additive of 0.1 m 3-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (ASA). ASA prefers to adsorb on the Zn surface over water and creates an ASA-rich interface. It further enters the Zn2+ solvation sheath locally, which shifts the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital from solvated water to ASA. The hydrogen evolution reaction from solvated water reduction is inhibited, and the reduction of solvated ASA generates a stable solid-electrolyte interphase composed of the ion conductor ZnS covered by organic-inorganic mixed components. With the resulting homogenized Zn deposition, continuous Zn stripping in symmetric cells reaches 99.7% depth of discharge (DOD) at a current density of 2 mA cm-2, whereas cell short-circuit takes place at 11.4% DOD in the ASA free ZnSO4 electrolyte. The repeated stripping/plating also realizes 1100 h cycle life at 2 mA cm-2, and a 99.54% stabilized coulombic efficiency is obtained for 500 cycles at 10 mA cm-2.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted an increasing attention as a potential low-cost, environmentally friendliness, and high-safety energy storage system. Among them, transition metal vanadates with high oxidation state vanadium have great potential in ZIBs cathode research due to their high theoretical capacity. However, many vanadate particles still inevitably suffer from low ion mobility, low electrical conductivity and stability. Cation doping or compositing is an effective pathway capable of enhancing electrical conductivity. In this work, layered Cu-Fe2VO4 porous nanorods are obtained by introducing Cu2+ into MIL-88A(Fe) (a metal-organic framework; MIL stands for materials from Institute Lavoisier) and further ion-exchanged with NH4VO3, exhibiting excellent zinc storage properties as an cathode. The existence of oxygen vacancies and the change of electronic structure caused by Cu2+ substituting part of Fe2+ enhanced the conductivity and electron transfer rate. It delivers a reversible discharge capacity of 237 mAh/g at 0.3 A/g and a satisfactory high rate capacity of 126 mAh/g after 30 cycles at 5 A/g, and stable cycling performance (198 mAh/g after 1000 cycles at 1 A/g). Furthermore, the energy density can reached to 230.97 Wh kg-1 at 208.6 W kg-1. The assembled quasi-solid-state ZIBs maintain a high capacitance retention of 75% after 8000 cycles at 1 A/g.

Abstract
Many cathode materials store zinc ions based on the intercalation reaction mechanism in neutral aqueous Zn-ion batteries, and the structural design of the cathodes has been stuck in the curing mode by extending the ion diffusion channel. Here, we first develop halide ions to unlock the electrochemical activity of conversion-type Bi2O3 in aqueous Zn-ion batteries. Notably, the iodide ion shows the best performance compatibility with the Bi2O3 cathode. The electrochemical reaction mechanism studies show that iodide ions can be regarded as a redox medium to reduce the charge-transfer activation energy and motivate the conversion of Bi2O3 from Bi3+ to Bi0 during the cycle. Unsurprising, the discharge-specific capacity can reach 436.8 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and achieve a cyclic lifespan of 6000 cycles at a current density of 3 A g-1. The activation of the Bi2O3 conversion reaction by iodide ions is of great significance for broadening the research range of ZIB cathode materials.

Abstract
Typical layered transition-metal chalcogenide materials, especially MoS2, are gradually attracting widespread attention as aqueous Zn-ion battery (AZIB) cathode materials by virtue of their two-dimensional structure, tunable band gap, and abundant edges. The metastable phase 1T-MoS2 exhibits better electrical conductivity, electrochemical activity, and zinc storage capacity compared to the thermodynamically stable 2H-MoS2. However, 1T-MoS2 is still limited by the phase stability and layered structure destruction for AZIB application. Thus, a three-dimensional interconnected network heterostructure (Mn-MoS2/MXene) consisting of Mn2+-doped MoS2 and MXene with a high percentage of 1T phase (82.9%) was synthesized by hydrothermal methods and investigated as the cathode for AZIBs. It was found that S-Mn-S covalent bonds between MoS2 interlayers and Ti-O-Mo bonds at heterogeneous interfaces can act as "electron bridges" to facilitate electron and charge transfer. And the doping of Mn2+ and the combination of MXene not only expanded the interlayer spacing of MoS2 but also maintained the metastable structure of 1T-MoS2 nanosheets, acting to reduce the activation energy for Zn2+ intercalation and enhance specific capacity. The obtained Mn-MoS2/MXene contains more 1T-MoS2 and provides an improved specific capacity of 191.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. Compared with Mn-MoS2 and pure MoS2, it also exhibits enhanced cycling stability with a capacity retention of 80.3% after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1. Besides, the conductivity of Mn-MoS2/MXene is significantly improved, which induces a lower activation energy of the zinc ions during intercalation/deintercalation.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have become one of the most potential energy storage devices due to their high safety and low cost. Vanadium oxide is an ideal cathode material for AZIBs because of its unique tunnel structure and multivalent nature. In this work, electrospun VO2/carbon fibers (VO2@CPAN) with a three-dimensional (3D) network are obtained by an electrospinning strategy combining with a controlled heat treatment. As cathode for AZIBs, the 3D network of the carbon fiber significantly improves the conductivity of VO2, avoids the agglomeration of VO2, and increases the stability of VO2. Therefore, VO2@CPAN delivers a specific capacity of 323.2 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, which is higher than pure VO2. At the same time, excellent capacity retention of 76.6% is obtained at high current density of 10 A g-1 after 3000 cycles.

Abstract
Vanadate electrodes are potential candidates for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their large theoretical specific capacity. However, their practical application suffers from limitations of poor conductivity, inferior ion kinetics, and severe volume changes upon cycling. Herein, a doping strategy is realized to prepare phosphorus (P)-doped MnV2O6 (PMVO) nanosheets to enhance the electrochemical activity and structural stability. On combining experimental and computation results, it is found that the PMVO structure enhances the electrical conductivity, reduces the adsorption energy of lithium ions, increases the structural stability, and facilitates rapid surface diffusion kinetics. As expected, the desirable electrode of PMVO delivers a reversible capacity of 812.7 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1 and shows excellent coulombic efficiency, as well as an extraordinary energy density of 472.1 W h kg-1. Meanwhile, an excellent rate performance (from 0.1 to 5.0 and return to 0.1 A g-1; 779.6 to 319.6 and return to 811.9 mA h g-1) could be achieved. The strategy proposed here may aid in further development of doped vanadate electrodes for high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are expected to be an attractive alternative in advanced energy storage devices due to large abundance and dependable security. Nevertheless, the undesirable energy density and operating voltage still hinder the development of AZIBs, which is intimately associated with the fundamental properties of the cathode. In this work, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) intercalated Mn0.07 VOx (PVP-MnVO) with a large interlayer spacing of 13.5 Å (against 12.5 Å for MnVO) synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method is adopted for the cathode in AZIBs. The experimental results demonstrate that PVP-MnVO with expanded interlayer spacing provides beneficial channels for the rapid diffusion of Zn2+ , resulting in a high discharge capacity of 402 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , superior to that of MnVO (275 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ). Meanwhile, the PVP molecule remains in the layer structure as a binder/pillar, which can maintain its structural integrity well during the charging/discharging process. Consequently, PVP-MnVO cathode exhibits superior rate capability and cycling stability (89% retention after 4300 cycles at 10 A g-1 ) compared to that of MnVO (≈51% retention over 500 cycles at 2 A g-1 ). This work proposes a new approach to optimize the performance of vanadium-based electrode materials in AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have become one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their high safety and low cost. However, the development of stable cathodes with fast kinetics and high energy density is the key to achieving large-scale application of AZIBs. In this work, W-doped VO2 (W-VO2) is developed by a one-step hydrothermal method. Benefiting from the pre-insertion of W6+ and the introduction of the W-O bond, accomplishing an expanded lattice spacing and a stable structure, both improved kinetics and long cycle life are achieved. The W-VO2 delivers a specific capacity of 340.2 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, an excellent high-rate capability with a discharge capacity of 186.9 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1, and long-term cycling stability with a capacity retention of 76.5% after 2000 cycles. The electrochemical performance of the W-VO2 has been greatly improved, compared with the pure VO2. The W doping strategy proposed here also presents an encouraging pathway for developing other high-energy and stable cathodes.

Abstract
Despite holding the advantages of high theoretical capacity and low cost, the practical application of layered-structured potassium vanadates in zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) has been staggered by the sluggish ion diffusion, low intrinsic electronic conductivity, and unstable crystal structure. Herein, for the first time, a phase stabilized crystal etching strategy is proposed to innovate an oxygen-vacancy-rich K0.486 V2 O5 nanorod composite (Ov-KVO@rGO) as a high-performance ZIB cathode. The in situ ascorbic acid assisted crystal etching process introduces abundant oxygen-vacancies into the K0.486 V2 O5 lattices, not only elaborately expanding the lattice spacing for faster ion diffusion and more active sites due to the weakened interlayer electrostatic interaction, but also enhancing the electronic conductivity by accumulating electrons around the vacancies, which is also evidenced by density functional theory calculations. Meanwhile, the encapsulating rGO layer ably stabilizes the K0.486 V2 O5 crystal phase otherwise is hard to endure subject to such a harsh chemical etching. As a result, the optimized Ov-KVO@rGO electrode delivers record-high rate capabilities with 462 and 272.39 mAh g-1 at 0.2 and 10 A g-1 , respectively, outperforming all previously reported potassium vanadate cathodes and most other vanadium-based materials. This work highlights a significant advancement of layer-structured vanadium based-materials towards practical application in ZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted extensive attention in recent years because of its high volumetric energy density, the abundance of zinc resources, and safety. However, ZIBs still suffer from poor reversibility and sluggish kinetics derived from the unstable cathodic structure and the strong electrostatic interactions between bivalent Zn2+ and cathodes. Herein, magnesium doping into layered manganese dioxide (Mg-MnO2 ) via a simple hydrothermal method as cathode materials for ZIBs is proposed. The interconnected nanoflakes of Mg-MnO2 possess a larger specific surface area compared to pristine δ-MnO2 , providing more electroactive sites and boosting the capacity of batteries. The ion diffusion coefficients of Mg-MnO2 can be enhanced due to the improved electrical conductivity by doped cations and oxygen vacancies in MnO2 lattices. The assembled Zn//Mg-MnO2 battery delivers a high specific capacity of 370 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.6 A g-1 . Furthermore, the reaction mechanism confirms that Zn2+ insertion occurred after a few cycles of activation reactions. Most important, the reversible redox reaction between Zn2+ and MnOOH is found after several charge-discharge processes, promoting capacity and stability. It believes that this systematic research enlightens the design of high-performance of ZIBs and facilitates the practical application of Zn//MnO2 batteries.

Abstract
MnO2 is a promising cathode for aqueous Zn batteries. However, the cycling stability is seriously hindered by active material dissolution, and the pre-addition of Mn2+ salts in electrolytes is widely required. Herein, we propose a structural engineering strategy for MnO2 to enhance the capacity contribution from the reversible two-electron transfer reaction of MnO2/Mn2+ and realize stable cycling in Mn2+-free electrolytes. By compositing with MoO3, MnO2 exhibits weakened Mn-O bonds, more oxygen vacancies, spontaneous generation of structural water, and thus a lowered energy barrier for Mn release during discharge. Meanwhile, the composite material presents stronger electrostatic attractions for dissolved Mn2+, which ensures highly reversible re-deposition during charge. As a result, the mass ratios between materials undergoing reversible two-electron and one-electron transfer reactions increase from 0.85 in MnO2 to 1.68 in the MnO2/MoO3 composite material. In the ZnSO4 electrolyte, the MnO2/MoO3 cathode achieves 92.6% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 (>1900 h), superior to 62.7% for MnO2. MnO2/MoO3 also retains 80.1% capacity after 16 000 cycles at 1 A g-1 (>3200 h). This work presents an effective path to realize stable cycling of MnO2 in Zn batteries.

Abstract
The Zn metal anode experiences dendritic growth and side reactions in aqueous zinc batteries. The regulation of the interface environment would provide efficient modification without largely affecting the aqueous nature of bulk electrolytes. Herein, we show that the ethylene carbonate (EC) additive is able to adsorb on the Zn surface from the ZnSO4 electrolyte. Together with the higher dielectric constant of EC than water, Zn2+ preferentially forms EC-rich solvation structures at the interface even with a low overall EC content of 4%. An inorganic-organic solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) is also generated. Thanks to the increased energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of EC-rich solvation structures and the stable SEI, side reactions are suppressed and the Zn2+ transference number increases to allow uniform Zn growth. As a result, the cycle life of Zn stripping/plating in symmetric Zn cells extends from 108 h to 1800 h after the addition of 4% EC. Stable cycling for 180 h is realized with 35% depth of discharge in the 4% EC electrolyte, superior to the initial cell failure with EC-free electrolyte. The capacity retention of the Zn//V6O13·H2O full cell with N/P = 1.3 also increases from 51.1% to 80.5% after 500 cycles with the help of EC.

Abstract
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) has shown great potential to be used in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but it has limited applications because it has cycle instability and poor rate capability, and its lithiation mechanism is not well understood. In this work, hollow porous V2O5 microspheres (HPVOM) were obtained by a facile poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and ethylene glycol-assisted soft-template solvothermal method. Half cells with HPVOM exhibited good capacity, rate capability, and stability, delivering 407.9 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 700 cycles. Furthermore, a LiFePO4/HPVOM full cell had a discharge capacity of 109.9 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.1 A g-1. Using an equivalent circuit model (ECM) and distribution of relaxation times (DRT), we found that the charge-transfer (including the solid-state interface resistance) and bulk resistances varied regularly with the charge/discharge state, while the electrolyte resistance was largely maintained. The bulk resistance finally vanished, indicative of dynamic activation. The method used to prepare the hollow microspheres, as well as the display of electrode kinetics via ECM and DRT, could be broadly applied in developing efficient electrodes for LIBs.

Abstract
Developing anode materials with high reversible capacity, fast redox kinetics, and stable cycling life for Na+ storage remains a great challenge. Herein, the VO2 nanobelts with oxygen vacancies supported on nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (VO2-x/NC) were developed. Benefitting from the enhanced electrical conductivity, the accelerated kinetics, the increased active sites as well as the constructed 2D heterostructure, the VO2-x/NC delivered extraordinary Na+ storage performance in half/full battery. Theoretical calculations (DFT) demonstrated that oxygen vacancies could regulate the adsorption ability for Na+, enhance electronic conductivity, as well as achieve rapid and reversible Na+ adsorption/desorption. The VO2-x/NC exhibited high Na+ storage capacity of 270 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, and impressive cyclic stability with 258 mAh g-1 after 1800 cycles at 10 A g-1. The assembled sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs) could achieve maximum energy density/power output of 122 Wh kg-1/9985 W kg-1, ultralong cycling life with 88.4% capacity retention after 25,000 cycles at 2 A g-1, and practical applications (55 LEDs could be actuated for 10 min), promising to be utilized in a practicable Na+ storage.

Abstract
The dissolution of active material in aqueous batteries can lead to a rapid deterioration in capacity, and the presence of free water can also accelerate the dissolution and trigger some side reactions that affect the service life of aqueous batteries. In this study, a MnWO4 cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer is constructed on a δ-MnO2 cathode by cyclic voltammetry, which is effective in inhibiting the dissolution of Mn and improving the reaction kinetics. As a result, the CEI layer enables the δ-MnO2 cathode to produce a better cycling performance, with the capacity maintained at 98.2% (vs. activated capacity at 500 cycles) after 2000 cycles at 10 A g-1. In comparison, the capacity retention rate is merely 33.4% for pristine samples in the same state, indicating that this MnWO4 CEI layer constructed by using a simple and general electrochemical method can promote the development of MnO2 cathodes for aqueous zinc ion batteries.

Abstract
Ion migration and electron transmission are vital for manganese dioxides in zinc ion batteries. δ-MnO2 is believed to be more suitable for zinc ion storage due to its layered structure. However, the performance of δ-MnO2 is still hampered by the frustrating conductivity and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, atomic engineering is adopted to modify δ-MnO2 at the atomic level to obtain oxygen-deficient δ-MnO2 (N-MnO2). Meanwhile, hollow carbon microtubes (HCMTs) obtained from green and renewable energy grass are proposed as cross-connected electron transmission matrices (CETMs) for MnO2. The biomass-derived CETMs not only optimize reaction kinetics but also facilitate the ion storage performance of MnO2. The as-prepared N-MnO2@HCMTs exhibit high rate capability and enhanced pseudocapacitve behavior contributed by the oxygen-deficient N-MnO2 and CETMs. Ex situ analysis reveals the reversible insertion/extraction of H+ and Zn2+ in N-MnO2@HCMTs during charge/discharge processes. Moreover, the quasi-solid-state N-MnO2@HCMTs//Zn cells are assembled and they deliver extraordinary discharge capacity and a long cyclic lifespan. This study may provide insights for further exploration of cathode materials in AZIBs and promote the large-scale production of aqueous Zn-MnO2 batteries.

Abstract
The MnO2 cathode has attracted extensive attention in aqueous zinc ion battery research due to its environmental benignity, low cost, and high capacity. However, sluggish kinetics of hydrated zinc ion and manganese dissolution lead to insufficient rate and cycle performances. In this study, a manganese phosphate nanolayer synthesized in situ on a MnO2 cathode can be transformed into a δ-MnO2 nanolayer interphase after activation upon cycling, endowing the interphase with abundant interlayer water. As a result, the δ-MnO2 nanolayer interphase with the function of H+ topochemistry significantly enhances H+ (de)insertion in the MnO2 cathode, which leads to a kinetics conversion from Zn2+-dominated (de)insertion to H+-dominated (de)insertion, thus endowing the MnO2 cathode with superior rate and cycle performances (85.9% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 10 A g-1). This strategy can be highly scalable for other manganese-based cathodes and provides an insight for developing high-performance aqueous zinc ion batteries.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202218454.

Abstract
Despite conspicuous merits of Zn metal anodes, the commercialization is still handicapped by rampant dendrite formation and notorious side reaction. Manipulating the nucleation mode and deposition orientation of Zn is a key to rendering stabilized Zn anodes. Here, a dual electrolyte additive strategy is put forward via the direct cooperation of xylitol (XY) and graphene oxide (GO) species into typical zinc sulfate electrolyte. As verified by molecular dynamics simulations, the incorporated XY molecules could regulate the solvation structure of Zn2+ , thus inhibiting hydrogen evolution and side reactions. The self-assembled GO layer is in favor of facilitating the desolvation process to accelerate reaction kinetics. Progressive nucleation and orientational deposition can be realized under the synergistic modulation, enabling a dense and uniform Zn deposition. Consequently, symmetric cell based on dual additives harvests a highly reversible cycling of 5600 h at 1.0 mA cm-2 /1.0 mAh cm-2 .

Abstract
Although manganese-based oxides possess high voltage and low cost, the sluggish reaction kinetics and poor structural stability hinder their applications in aqueous rechargeable Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs). Herein, a molybdenum (Mo) pre-intercalation strategy is proposed to solve the above issues of δ-MnO2. The pre-intercalated Mo dopants, acting as the interlayer pillars, can not only expand the interlayer spacing but also reinforce the layered structure of δ-MnO2, finally achieving enhanced reaction kinetics and superb cycling stability during carrier (de)intercalation. Moreover, oxygen defects, introduced due to Mo-pre-intercalation, play a critical role in the fast reaction kinetics and capacity improvement of the Mo-pre-intercalated δ-MnO2 (Mo-MnO2) cathode. Therefore, the Mo-MnO2 cathode displays a high energy density of 451 Wh kg-1 (based on cathode mass), excellent rate capability, and admirable long-term cycling performance with a high capacity of 159 mAhg-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. In addition, the energy storage mechanism of Zn2+/H+ stepwise reversible (de)intercalation is also revealed by ex situ experiments. This work provides an insightful guide for boosting the electrochemical performance of Mn-based oxide cathodes for ZIBs.

Surface-redox sodium-ion storage in anatase titanium oxide. Nat Commun 2023; 14:7.

Abstract
Sodium-ion storage technologies are promising candidates for large-scale grid systems due to the abundance and low cost of sodium. However, compared to well-understood lithium-ion storage mechanisms, sodium-ion storage remains relatively unexplored. Herein, we systematically determine the sodium-ion storage properties of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2(A)). During the initial sodiation process, a thin surface layer (~3 to 5 nm) of crystalline TiO2(A) becomes amorphous but still undergoes Ti4+/Ti3+ redox reactions. A model explaining the role of the amorphous layer and the dependence of the specific capacity on the size of TiO2(A) nanoparticles is proposed. Amorphous nanoparticles of ~10 nm seem to be optimum in terms of achieving high specific capacity, on the order of 200 mAh g-1, at high charge/discharge rates. Kinetic studies of TiO2(A) nanoparticles indicate that sodium-ion storage is due to a surface-redox mechanism that is not dependent on nanoparticle size in contrast to the lithiation of TiO2(A) which is a diffusion-limited intercalation process. The surface-redox properties of TiO2(A) result in excellent rate capability, cycling stability and low overpotentials. Moreover, tailoring the surface-redox mechanism enables thick electrodes of TiO2(A) to retain high rate properties, and represents a promising direction for high-power sodium-ion storage.

Abstract
The tunnel structure of the bronze phase vanadium dioxide (VO2(B)) can be used as the zinc ion storage active sites. However, the intense charge repulsion of divalent Zn2+ causes a sluggish reaction kinetics in the tunnel VO2(B). Here, a tungsten-oxygen bond pre-introduced (TOBI) approach is proposed to modulate the tunnel structure of VO2(B). The VO2(B) cathodes with TOBI of 0.5 at% to 3.0 at% have been controllably synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The results from structural analysis uncover that the pre-introduced W6+ replaces the V4+ in VO2(B) to form WO6 octahedra. Benefiting from the rapid diffusion kinetics, enhanced structural stability and improved conductivity enabled by the TOBI, the optimal VO2(B) nanoribbons with 1.5 at% shows a high reversible capacity of 265 mAh g-1, a high rate-performance of up-to 10 A g-1 and a long cycling stability of 2000 cycles. Moreover, a pseudo-capacitive dominated Zn2+ intercalation/de-intercalation behavior is solidly determined by the electrochemical kinetics testing and structural characterizations. This TOBI method is referential for developing other multivalent ion battery cathodes with outstanding performances.

Abstract
A simple microwave-assisted hydrothermal approach is adopted to synthesize VO2·0.26H2O nanobelts@reduced graphene oxide (VO2·0.26H2O@rGO), which is regarded as a promising cathode material for ZIBs. Compared to VO2·0.26H2O, VO2·0.26H2O@rGO has a large specific surface area and low charge transfer resistance, improving its electrochemical properties. The large lattice spacing, high capacitive Zn2+ storage behavior, fast Zn2+ transfer rate and stable structure are also responsible for the performance.

Abstract
As a result of the absence of solid-state diffusion limitation, intercalation pseudocapacitance behavior is emerging as an attractive charge-storage mechanism that can greatly facilitate the ion kinetics to boost the rate capability and cycle stability of batteries; however, related research in the field of zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) is still in the initial stage and only found in limited cathode materials. In this study, a novel V2O5-x@rGO hybrid aerogel consisting of ultrathin V2O5 nanosheets (∼1.26 nm) with abundant oxygen vacancies (Vö) and a three-dimensional (3D) graphene conductive network was specifically designed and used as a freestanding and binder-free electrode for ZIBs. As expected, the ideal microstructure of both the material and the electrode enable fast electron/ion diffusion kinetics of the electrode, which realize a typical intercalation pseudocapacitance behavior as demonstrated by the simulation calculation of cyclic voltammetry (CV), ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Thanks to the elimination of solid-state diffusion limitation, the V2O5-x@rGO electrode delivers a high reversible rate capacity of 153.9 mAh g-1 at 15 A g-1 and 90.6% initial capacity retention at 0.5 A g-1 after 1050 cycles in ZIBs. The intercalation pseudocapacitance behavior is also realized in the assembled soft-pack battery, showing promising practical application prospects.

Abstract
Compared with lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), aqueous zinc batteries (AZIBs) have received extensive attention due to their safety and cost advantages in recent years. The cathode determines the electrochemical performance of AZIBs to a large extent. Vanadium-based materials exhibit excellent capacity when used as AZIB cathodes. However, unexpected structural stress is inevitably induced during cycling and high current densities, which can gradually lead to structural deterioration and capacity decay. In fact, the stress/strain distribution in nanomaterials is crucial for electrochemical performance. In this work, the optimized stress distribution of the hierarchical hollow structure is verified by the finite element simulation of COMSOL software firstly. Guided by this model, a simple solvothermal method to synthesize hierarchical hollow vanadium oxide nanospheres (VO-NSs), consisting of ≈10 nm ultrathin nanosheets and ≈500 nm hollow inner cavities, is employed. And a highly disordered structure is introduced to the VO-NSs by in situ electrochemical oxidation, which can also weaken the structural stress during Zn2+ insertion and extraction. Benefiting from this unique structure, VO-NSs exhibit high-rate and stable Zn2+ storage capability. The strategy of engineering-driven material design provides new insights into the development of AZIB cathodes.

Abstract
Currently, the construction of amorphous/crystalline (A/C) heterophase has become an advanced strategy to modulate electronic and/or ionic behaviors and promote structural stability due to their concerted advantages. However, their different kinetics limit the synergistic effect. Further, their interaction functions and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, a unique engineered defect-rich V2 O3 heterophase structure (donated as A/C-V2 O3- x @C-HMCS) composed of mesoporous oxygen-deficient amorphous - hollow core (A-V2 O3- x /HMC) and lattice-distorted crystalline shell (C-V2 O3 /S) encapsulated by carbon is rationally designed via a facile approach. Comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations disclose that the lattice distortion enlarges the porous channels for Na+ diffusion in the crystalline phase, thereby optimizing its kinetics to be compatible with the oxygen-vacancy-rich amorphous phase. This significantly reduces the high contrast of the kinetic properties between the crystalline and amorphous phases in A/C-V2 O3- x @C-HMCS and induces the formation of highly dense A/C interfaces with a strong synergistic effect. As a result, the dense heterointerface effectively optimizes the Na+ adsorption energy and lowers the diffusion barrier, thus accelerating the overall kinetics of A/C-V2 O3- x @C-HMCS. In contrast, the perfect heterophase (defects-free) A/C-V2 O3 @C-HCS demonstrates sparse A/C interfacial sites with limited synergistic effect and sluggish kinetics. As expected, the A/C-V2 O3- x @C-HMCS achieves a high rate and ultrastable performance (192 mAh g-1 over 6000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ) when employed for the first time as a cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). This work provides general guidance for realizing dense heterophase cathode design for high-performance SIBs and beyond.

Abstract
Expanding interspace and introducing vacancies are desired to promote the mobility of Zn ions and unlock the inactive sites of layered cathodes. However, this two-point modulation has not yet been achieved simultaneously in vanadium phosphate. Here, a strategy is proposed for fabricating an alcohol-based organic-inorganic hybrid material, VO1- x PO4 ·0.56C6 H14 O4 , to realize the conjoint modulation of the d-interspace and oxygen vacancies. Peculiar triglycol molecules with an inclined orientation in the interlayer also boost the improvement in the conversion rate of V5+ to V4+ and the intensity of the PO bond. Their synergism can ensure steerable adjustment for intercalation kinetics and electron transport, as well as realize high chemical reactivity and redox-center optimization, leading to at least 200% increase in capacity. Using a water-organic electrolyte, the designed Zn-ion batteries with an ultrahigh-rate profile deliver a long-term durability (fivefold greater than pristine material) and an excellent energy density of ≈142 Wh kg-1 (including masses of cathode and anode), thereby substantially outstripping most of the recently reported state-of-the-art zinc-ion batteries. This work proves the feasibility to realize the two-point modulation by using organic intercalants for exploiting high-performance new 2D materials.

Abstract
Flexible pressure sensors and aqueous batteries have been widely used in the rapid development of wearable electronics. The synergistic functionalities of versatile materials with multidimensional architectures are recognized to have a significant impact on the performance of flexible electronics. Herein, a facile hydrothermal strategy was demonstrated to conformally grow vanadium dioxide nanosheets on carbonized cotton fabrics (VO2/CCotton), which is a candidate material used in flexible piezoresistive sensors. As a result, the VO2/CCotton-based pressure sensor behaved with high sensitivity (S = 7.12 kPa-1 in the pressure range of 0-2.0 kPa) and a stable sensing ability in a wide pressure scale of 0-120 kPa. Further practical applications were performed in monitoring delicate physiological signals as well, such as twisting, blowing, and voice vibration recognitions. In addition, another application for energy storage was investigated as well. A quasi-solid-state aqueous zinc-ion battery was assembled with VO2/CCotton as the cathode and a film of Zn nanosheets/carbon nanotube as the anode. A capacity as high as 301.5 mAh g-1 and remarkable durability of 88.7% capacity retention after 5000 cycles at 10 A g-1 were found. These exceptional outcomes are attributed to the unique three-dimensional architecture and the prominent synergetic effects of CCotton and VO2 and allow for the proposal of novel guidelines for next-generation multifunctional flexible electronics.

Abstract
The weak van der Waals interactions of the one-dimensional (1D) chainlike VS4 crystal structure can enable fast charge-transfer kinetics in metal ion batteries, but its potential has been rarely exploited in depth. Herein, a thermodynamics-driven morphology manipulation strategy is reported to tailor VS4 nanosheets into 3D hierarchical self-assembled architectures including nanospheres, hollow nanospheres, and nanoflowers. The ultrathin VS4 nanosheets are generated via 2D anisotropic growth by the strong driving force of coordination interaction from ammonium ions under microwave irradiation and then evolve into 3D sheet-assembled configurations by adjusting the thermodynamic factors of temperature and reaction time. The as-synthesized VS4 nanomaterials present good electrochemical performances as the anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. In particular, the hollow VS4 nanospheres show a specific capacity of 1226.7 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 current density after 100 cycles. The hierarchical nanostructures with large specific surface area and structural stability can overcome the difficulty of sodium ions embedding into the bulk material interior and provide more reactive materials at the same material mass loading compared with other morphologies. Both experiment and DFT calculations suggest that VS4 nanosheets reduce reaction kinetic impediment of sodium ion in battery operating. This work demonstrates a way of the morphological design of 2D VS4 nanosheets and application in sodium ion storage.

Abstract
Low-cost sodium-ion-based electrochemical energy storage devices, especially vanadium-based sodium-ion pseudocapacitors, are receiving increasing attention. However, the inevitable dissolution of vanadium in aqueous electrolytes usually leads to poor cycling stability and a narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW). In this study, we prepared layered (NH4)2V10O25·8H2O with a hierarchical flower-like structure and an ultralarge layer spacing and evaluated its potential as a sodium-ion pseudocapacitive material. Ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement and kinetic analysis demonstrate the reversible intercalation and deintercalation of Na+ in (NH4)2V10O25·8H2O in NaClO4 electrolytes. Significantly improved durability and a large voltage window of 3.2 V are achieved in the high-concentration NaClO4 electrolyte. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal that the dissolution of vanadium in the high-concentration NaClO4 electrolyte can be effectively suppressed. An asymmetric sodium-ion capacitor with a wide voltage window of 3.2 V was successfully assembled, and it delivered a high energy density of 53.1 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 3.2 kW kg-1.

Abstract
VO2 (B) electrode material has relatively high capacity and good cycle stability. However, its poor rate performance limits its further development because of the strong interaction between zinc ions and the main lattice of VO2 (B). Herein, considering the design principle of rate performance improvement, we furnished a different scheme from a previous multistep method of the synthesis-modification strategy of pure VO2 (B). VO2@V2C 1D/2D heterostructure was constructed by controllable partial oxidation of V2C by a one-step hydrothermal method. The unique 1D/2D heterostructure improves diffusivity and reduces the diffusion size of zinc ions at the same time, which significantly improved the rate performance of VO2. The situation at the heterostructure interface is analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Combined with cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic intermittent title technology tests, the promotion mechanism for the rate performance of the derived VO2 is further explained. In addition, it is found that V2C MXene can be electrochemically activated when the voltage reaches 1.24 V. By further widening the voltage window to activate V2C, VO2@V2COx heterostructure was obtained, which realizes high capacity and maintains high rate performance in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. This work provides key insights for the design of high-rate-performance electrode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
H+ intercalation, as a critical battery chemistry, enables electrodes' high rate performance due to the fast diffusion kinetics of H+. In this work, more water molecules are introduced into δ-MnO2 by the protonation of δ-MnO2 with abundant oxygen vacancies. Benefiting from the structure with a close arrangement of water molecules in interlayers, the Grotthuss transport of proton is achieved in the energy storage of the δ-MnO2 cathode. As a result, the δ-MnO2 cathode exhibits an ultrahigh rate performance with a capacity of 368.1 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and 83.4 mAh g-1 at 50 A g-1, which has a capacity retention of 73% after 1100 cycles at 10 A g-1. The study of the storage mechanism reveals that the Grotthuss intercalation of proton predominates the storage process, which empowers the cathode with high rate performance.

Abstract
The drastic need for development of power and electronic equipment has long been calling for energy storage materials that possess favorable energy and power densities simultaneously, yet neither capacitive nor battery-type materials can meet the aforementioned demand. By contrast, pseudocapacitive materials store ions through redox reactions with charge/discharge rates comparable to those of capacitors, holding the promise of serving as electrode materials in advanced electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices. Therefore, it is of vital importance to enhance pseudocapacitive responses of energy storage materials to obtain excellent energy and power densities at the same time. In this Review, we first present basic concepts and characteristics about pseudocapacitive behaviors for better guidance on material design researches. Second, we discuss several important and effective material design measures for boosting pseudocapacitive responses of materials to improve rate capabilities, which mainly include downsizing, heterostructure engineering, adding atom and vacancy dopants, expanding interlayer distance, exposing active facets, and designing nanosheets. Finally, we outline possible developing trends in the rational design of pseudocapacitive materials and EES devices toward high-performance energy storage.

Abstract
Layered vanadium oxides have great potential as cathode materials for recently surged aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). However, achieving high energy/power densities simultaneously is challenging, and side reactions related to more frequently than disclosed Zn2+ /proton co-insertion mechanism aggravate stability concerns. Herein, an engineered binder-free cathode configuration based on water-processable and high packing-density sheet-shaped composites of carbon nanotubes network, surface poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) bridging coating, and ultrasmall PEDOT-intercalated V2 O5 nanoflakes is developed, and therein, large pseudocapacitance via predominant (≈91%) Zn2+ intercalation is revealed. Besides competitive gravimetric/areal capacity, the binder-free cathodes exhibit high volumetric capacity of 1106.1 mAh cm-3 and high-rate capability of 180.0 mA g-1 at 30 A g-1 as well as long-cycling stability. Such combined level of performance and unwanted reaction mechanism are attributed to the contained multiscale material/electrode design formula from crystal structure modification to 3D architecture construction of whole electrode, which endows the binder-free cathodes with abundant accessible sites for Zn2+ storage, but the least hydroxyl terminated surface for H+ insertion, as well as highly conductive network for electron transfer and fast Zn2+ diffusion kinetics throughout the electrode. Combined with scalable fabrication protocols, this study opens up great opportunities for high-performance vanadium oxide cathodes practically applicable to AZIBs.

Abstract
Phosphate-based cathode materials attract much more attention and are widely used as energy storage materials based on their high economic efficiency and eco-friendly property, their stable potential plateau, and their high thermodynamic stability. A new phosphate family member, Zn2Fe(PO4)2 (ZFP), was successfully explored and synthesized by the scalable high-temperature annealing method, followed by coating a thin carbon layer to optimize the electrotonic conductivity. This obtained ZFP featuring with a tunnel structure can be utilized as a cathode material for Zn2+ ion extraction and insertion, in which Zn2+ ion diffusion behaviors primarily contribute the specific capacity. Based on the actual reversible capacity of ZFP@C of 73 mA h g-1, the application for zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) has potential due to its long life span. The electrochemical performance is primarily contributed from the high Zn2+ ion diffusion rate and low apparent activation energy. This new explored ZFP can accelerate the development of realizing ZIBs with long life span.
