Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered a promising device for next-generation energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. However, developing high-performance cathodes that can be matched with zinc metal anodes remains a challenge in unlocking the full potential of AZIBs. In this study, a typical transition metal layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDHs) can be in situ reconstructed to NiCo-LDHs/Ni(Co)OOH heterostructure using an electrochemical cycling activation (ECA) method, serving as a novel cathode material for AZIBs. The optimized ECA-NiCo-LDHs cathode demonstrates a high capacity of 181.5 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and retains 75% of initial capacity after 700 cycles at 5 A g-1. The abundant heterointerfaces of the NiCo-LDHs/Ni(Co)OOH material can activate additional active sites for zinc-ion storage and accelerate ion diffusion. Theoretical calculations also suggest the heterostructure can boost charge transfer and regulate ion-adsorption capability, thereby improving the electrochemical performance. Additionally, the flexible AZIBs device exhibits good service performance. This study on interface engineering introduces a new possibility for utilizing LDHs in AZIBs and offers a novel strategy for designing electrode materials.

Abstract
Recently, aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) with the superior theoretical capacity, high safety, low prices, and environmental protection, have emerged as a contender for advanced energy storage. However, challenges related to cathode materials, such as dissolution, instability, and structural collapse, have hindered the progress of AZIBs. Here, a novel AZIB is constructed using an oxidized 2D layered MnBi2Te4 cathode for the first time. The oxidized MnBi2Te4 cathode with large interlayer spacing and low energy barrier for zinc ion diffusion at 240 °C, exhibited impressive characteristics, including a high reversibility capacity of 393.1 mAh g-1 (0.4 A g-1), outstanding rate performance, and long cycle stability. Moreover, the corresponding aqueous button cell also exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. To demonstrate the application in practice in the realm of flexible wearable electronics, a quasi-solid-state micro ZIB (MZIB) is constructed and shows excellent flexibility and high-temperature stability (the capacity does not significantly degrade when the temperature reaches 100 °C and the bending angle exceeds 150°). This research offers effective tactics for creating high-performance cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-iodine (Zn-I2) conversion batteries with iodine redox chemistry suffers the severe polyiodide shuttling and sluggish redox kinetics, which impede the battery lifespan and rate capability. Herein, an ultrastable Zn-I2 battery is introduced based on single-atom Fe-N-C encapsulated high-surface-area carbon (HC@FeNC) as the core-shell cathode materials, which accelerate the I-/I3 -/I° conversion significantly. The robust chemical-physical interaction between polyiodides and Fe-N4 sites tightly binds the polyiodide ions and suppresses the polyiodide shuttling, thereby significantly enhancing the coulombic efficiency. As a result, the core-shell HC@FeNC cathode endows the electrolytic Zn-I2 battery with an excellent capacity, remarkable rate capability, and an ultralong lifespan over 60 000 cycles. More importantly, a practical 253 Wh kg-1 pouch cell shows good capacity retention of 84% after 100 cycles, underscoring its considerable potential for commercial Zn-I2 batteries.

Abstract
Manganese oxide-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are attractive energy storage devices, owing to their good safety, low cost, and ecofriendly features. However, various critical issues, including poor conductivity, sluggish reaction kinetics, and unstable structure still restrict their further development. Oxygen defect engineering is an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of manganese oxides, but challenging in the accurate regulation of oxygen defects. In this work, an effective and controllable defect engineering strategy-controllable electrochemical lithium-ion intercalation - is proposed to tackle this issue. The incorporation of lithium ions and oxygen defects can promote the conductivity, lattice spacing, and structural stability of Mn2O3 (MO), thus improving its capacity (232.7 mAh g-1), rate performance, and long-term cycling stability (99.0% capacity retention after 3000 cycles). Interestingly, the optimal ratio of intercalated lithium-ion varies at different temperature or mass-loading of MO, which provides the possibility to customize diverse ZIBs to meet different application conditions. In addition, the fabricated ZIBs present good flexibility, superior safety, and admirable adaptability under extreme temperatures (-20-100 °C). This work provides an inspiration on the structural customization of metal oxide nanomaterials for diverse ZIBs, and sheds light on the construction of future portable electronics.

Abstract
Manganese-based materials are considered as one of the most promising cathodes in zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) for large-scale energy storage applications owing to their cost-effectiveness, natural availability, low toxicity, multivalent states, high operation voltage, and satisfactory capacity. However, their intricate energy storage mechanisms coupled with unsatisfactory cycling stability hinder their commercial applications. Previous reviews have primarily focused on optimization strategies for achieving high capacity and fast reaction kinetics, while overlooking capacity fluctuation and lacking a systematic discussion on strategies to enhance the cycling stability of these materials. Thus, in this review, the energy storage mechanisms of manganese-based ZIBs with different structures are systematically elucidated and summarized. Next, the capacity fluctuation in manganese-based ZIBs, including capacity activation, degradation, and dynamic evolution in the whole cycle calendar are comprehensively analyzed. Finally, the constructive optimization strategies based on the reaction chemistry of one-electron and two-electron transfers for achieving durable cycling performance in manganese-based ZIBs are proposed.

Abstract
In this study, we introduce a novel approach for synthesizing two-dimensional (2D) MXene heterostructures featuring a sandwiched and cross-linked network structure. This method addresses the common issue of activity degradation in 2D nanomaterials caused by inevitable aggregation. By utilizing the distinct surface characteristics of MXene, we successfully induced the growth of various 2D nanomaterials on MXene substrates. This strategy effectively mitigates self-stacking defects and augments the exposure of surface areas. In particular, the obtained 2D-2D MXene@NiCo-layered double hydroxide (MH-NiCo) heterostructures exhibit enhanced structural stability, improved chemical reversibility, and heightened charge transfer efficiency, outperforming pure NiCo LDH. The aqueous MH-Ni4Co1//Zn@carbon cloth (MH-Ni4Co1//Zn@CC) battery demonstrates exceptional performance with a remarkable specific capacity of 0.61 mAh cm-2, maintaining 96.6 % capacitance after 2300 cycles. Additionally, it achieves an energy density of 1.047 mWh cm-2 and a power density of 32.899 mW cm-2. This research not only paves the way for new design paradigms in energy-related nanomaterials but also offers invaluable insights for the application and optimization of 2D-2D heterostructures in advanced electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been attracted widespread attention in supercapacitor due to their unique layered structure and associated advantages. However, the inherent limitations of low electrical conductivity and reaction kinetics rate of LDH restrict its widespread application. Various modification techniques, such as heterojunction formation, phosphorization and introduction of phosphorus vacancies, are employed to modify LDH with the goal of improving the electrochemical performance. Preparation of composite materials using MoB MBene as conductive template and phosphorization are the effective ways for enhancing the electrical conductivity of electrode materials. MoB MBene is prepared using a modified method that combines NaOH etching and a high-temperature hydrothermal process. The presence of phosphorus vacancy is beneficial for enhancing the kinetics rate during electrode reactions. Through the synergistic effect of various modification methods, MP2 demonstrates an optimal electrochemical performance with a superior specific capacitance of 1731.19F/g (238.28 mAh g-1) at 1 A/g. It also demonstrates an impressive rate capacity of 81.28 % at 10 A/g and maintains a satisfactory capacitance retention of 88.14 % after 5000 cycles. In addition, a fabricated MP2//AC ASC device achieves an impressive energy density of 39.91 Wh kg-1 at the power density of 948.25 W kg-1 and demonstrates satisfactory cycling stability of 78.76 % after 5000 cycles. This work presents a comprehensive framework for analyzing the impact of material structure, components, and crystal phases on energy storage performance. It also examines the regulatory impact of different modification methods on energy storage mechanisms.

Abstract
We report zinc cobalt-layered double hydroxides (ZnCo-LDH) as the active cathode materials for the development of high-performance Zn-ZnCo batteries. Electrochemical investigations show the battery's capacity increases linearly with increasing the ZnCo-LDH loading (up to 60 mg cm-2). The resulting Zn-ZnCo battery exhibits excellent rate performance and cycle stability, retaining 86% of its capacity even after 5000 cycles of testing. By incorporating ZnCo-LDH with a Pt/C-coated gas diffusion layer to form an integrated multifunctional air-cathode, we demonstrate a hybrid Zn battery, which combines the merits of Zn-ZnCo and Zn-air batteries to show a characteristic two-stage charge-discharge voltage profile. The current work demonstrates the linear relationship between the battery capacity and the active material loading. The results also highlight that a greater battery capacity requires further increasing of loading though very challenging.

Abstract
Due to the increasing demand for higher security and low-cost energy storage systems, the main research focus has been developing a suitable substitute for lithium-ion batteries. Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered the best alternative to lithium-ion batteries in large-scale energy storage devices. Owing to its high capacity, vanadate is a promising cathode material for AZIBs. The crystallographic orientation of cathode materials dramatically influences the rate performance and cycling life. Here, Mg0.57V5O12·2.3H2O (MgVO) with favorable (001) crystal orientation and significantly improved electrochemical performance is prepared by a simple stirring method. The crystal growth orientations of MgVO are altered by adjusting the aging time of the reactant solution. The (001)-orientated grain growth of MgVO delivers a 232.5 mA h g-1 capacity at 5 A g-1 with a 94% capacity retention rate after 1400 cycles. The zinc ion storage performance of MgVO demonstrates that the orientation-controlled method can design effective cathode materials for high-performance ZIBs.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2305030. [PMID: 37649169 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202305030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
Vanadium-based oxides have attracted much attention because of their rich valences and adjustable structures. The high theoretical specific capacity contributed by the two-electron-transfer process (V5+ /V3+ ) makes it an ideal cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, slow diffusion kinetics and poor structural stability limit the application of vanadium-based oxides. Herein, a strategy for intercalating organic matter between vanadium-based oxide layers is proposed to attain high rate performance and long cycling life. The V3 O7 ·H2 O is synthesized in situ on the carbon cloth to form an open porous structure, which provides sufficient contact areas with electrolyte and facilitates zinc ion transport. On the molecular level, the added organic matter p-aminophenol (pAP) not only plays a supporting role in the V3 O7 ·H2 O layer, but also shows a regulatory effect on the V5+ /V4+ redox process due to the reducing functional group on pAP. The novel composite electrode with porous structure exhibits outstanding reversible specific capacity (386.7 mAh g-1 , 0.1 A g-1 ) at a high load of 6.5 mg cm-2 , and superior capacity retention of 80% at 3 A g-1 for 2100 cycles.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable multivalent metal-ion batteries (ARMMBs) have attracted considerable attention due to their high capacity, high energy density, and low cost. However, their performance is often limited by low temperature operation, which requires the development of anti-freezing electrolytes. In this review, we summarize the anti-freezing mechanisms and optimization strategies of anti-freezing electrolytes for aqueous batteries (especially for Zn-ion batteries). Besides, we investigate the possible interactions and side reactions between electrolytes and electrodes. We also analyze the problems between electrolytes and electrodes at low temperature, and propose possible solutions. The research progress in the field of low temperature energy storage for aqueous Mg-ion, Ca-ion, and Al-ion batteries, and the challenges faced in their anti-freezing electrolytes are investigated in detail. Last but not least, the outlook on the energy storage applications of ARMMBs is provided to guide the future research.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable battery has been an intense topic of research recently due to the significant safety issues of conventional Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Amongst the various candidates of aqueous batteries, aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) hold great promise as a next generation safe energy storage device due to its low cost, abundance in nature, low toxicity, environmental friendliness, low redox potential, and high theoretical capacity. Yet, the promise has not been realized due to their limitations, such as lower capacity compared to traditional LIB, dendrite growth, detrimental degradation of electrode materials structure as ions intercalate/de-intercalate, and gas evolution/corrosion at the electrodes, which remains a significant challenge. To address the challenges, various 2D materials with different physiochemical characteristics have been utilized. This review explores fundamental physiochemical characteristics of widely used 2D materials in AZIBs, including graphene, MoS2, MXenes, 2D metal organic framework, 2D covalent organic framework, and 2D transition metal oxides, and how their characteristics have been utilized or modified to address the challenges in AZIBs. The review also provides insights and perspectives on how 2D materials can help to realize the full potential of AZIBs for next-generation safe and reliable energy storage devices.

Abstract
Layered manganese dioxide is a promising cathode candidate for aqueous Zn-ion batteries. However, the narrow interlayer spacing, inferior intrinsic electronic conductivity and poor structural stability still limit its practical application. Herein, we report a two-step strategy to incorporate ammonium ions into manganese dioxide (named as AMO) nanosheets as a cathode for boosted Zn ion storage. K+ -intercalated δ-MnO2 nanosheets (KMO) grown on carbon cloth are chosen as the self-involved precursor. Of note, ammonium ions could replace K+ ions via a facile hydrothermal reaction to enlarge the lattice space and form hydrogen-bond networks. Compared with KMO, the structural stability and the ion transfer kinetics of the layered AMO are enhanced. As expected, the obtained AMO cathode exhibits remarkable electrochemical properties in terms of high reversible capacity, decent rate performance and superior cycling stability over 10000 cycles.

Abstract
Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) has been widely studied in the energy storage field due to its various phase states and unique structural advantages. Among them, lamellar α-phase MoO3 (α-MoO3) and tunnel-like h-phase MoO3 (h-MoO3) have attracted much attention. In this study, we demonstrate that vanadate ion (VO3-) can transform α-MoO3 (a thermodynamically stable phase) to h-MoO3 (a metastable phase) by altering the connection of [MoO6] octahedra configurations. h-MoO3 with VO3- inserted (referred to as h-MoO3-V) as the cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) exhibits excellent Zn2+ storage performances. The improvement in electrochemical properties is attributed to the open tunneling structure of the h-MoO3-V, which offers more active sites for Zn2+ (de)intercalation and diffusion. As expected, the Zn//h-MoO3-V battery delivers specific capacity of 250 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1 and rate capability (73% retention from 0.1 to 1 A·g-1, 80 cycles), well exceeding those of Zn//h-MoO3 and Zn//α-MoO3 batteries. This study demonstrates that the tunneling structure of h-MoO3 can be modulated by VO3- to enhance the electrochemical properties for AZIBs. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights for the synthesis, development and future applications of h-MoO3.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDH) can be transformed from alkaline supercapacitor material into metal-cation storage cathode working in neutral electrolytes through electrochemical activation. However, the rate performance for storing large cations is restricted by the small interlayer distance of LDH. Herein, the interlayer distance of NiCo-LDH is expanded by replacing the interlayer nitrate ions with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic anions (BDC), leading to the enhanced rate performance for storing large cations (Na+, Mg2+, and Zn2+), whereas almost the unchanged one for storing small-radius Li+ ions. The improved rate performance of the BDC-pillared LDH (LDH-BDC) stems from the reduced charge-transfer and Warburg resistances during charge/discharge due to the increased interlayer distance, as revealed by in situ electrochemical impedance spectra. The asymmetric zinc-ion supercapacitor assembled with LDH-BDC and activated carbon presents high energy density and cycling stability. This study demonstrates an effective strategy to improve the large cation storage performance of LDH electrodes by increasing the interlayer distance.

Abstract
Zn powder (Zn-P)-based anodes are always regarded as ideal anode candidates for zinc ion batteries owing to their low cost and ease of processing. However, the intrinsic negative properties of Zn-P-based anodes such as easy corrosion and uncontrolled dendrite growth have limited their further applications. Herein, a novel 3D cold-trap environment printing (3DCEP) technology is proposed to achieve the MXene and Zn-P (3DCEP-MXene/Zn-P) anode with highly ordered arrangement. Benefitting from the unique inhibition mechanism of high lattice matching and physical confinement effects within the 3DCEP-MXene/Zn-P anode, it can effectively homogenize the Zn2+ flux and alleviate the Zn deposition rate of the 3DCEP-MXene/Zn-P anode during Zn plating-stripping. Consequently, the 3DCEP-MXene/Zn-P anode exhibits a superior cycling lifespan of 1400 h with high coulombic efficiency of ≈9.2% in symmetric batteries. More encouragingly, paired with MXene and Co doped MnHCF cathode via 3D cold-trap environment printing (3 DCEP-MXene/Co-MnHCF), the 3DCEP-MXene/Zn-P//3DCEP-MXene/Co-MnHCF full battery delivers high cyclic durability with the capacity retention of 95.7% after 1600 cycles. This study brings an inspired universal pathway to rapidly fabricate a reversible Zn anode with highly ordered arrangement in a cold environment for micro-zinc storage systems.
