Abstract
Vanadium (V)-based oxides have garnered significant attention as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their multiple valences and high theoretical capacity. However, their sluggish kinetics and low conductivity remain major obstacles to practical applications. In this study, Mo-doped V2O3 with oxygen vacancies (OVs, Mo-V2O3-x@NC) is prepared from a Mo-doped V-metal organic framework. Ex situ characterizations reveal that the cathode undergoes an irreversible phase transformation from Mo-V2O3-x to Mo-V2O5-x·nH2O and serves as an active material exhibiting excellent Zn2+ storage in subsequent charge-discharge cycles. Mo-doped helps to further improve cycling stability and increases with increasing content. More importantly, the synergistic effect of Mo-doped and OVs not only effectively reduces the Zn2+ migration energy barrier, but also enhances reaction kinetics, and electrochemical performance. Consequently, the cathode demonstrates ultrafast electrochemical kinetics, showing a superior rate performance (190.9 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1) and excellent long-term cycling stability (147.9 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 after 10000 cycles). Furthermore, the assembled pouch cell exhibits excellent cycling stability (313.6 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 1000 cycles), indicating promising application prospects. This work presents an effective strategy for designing and fabricating metal and OVs co-doped cathodes for high-performance AZIBs.

Altering the CO 2 Electroreduction Pathways Towards C 1 or C 2+ Products via Engineering the Strength of Interfacial Cu-O Bond. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404676. [PMID: 38880900 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202404676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Copper (Cu)-based catalysts have established their unique capability for yielding wide value-added products from CO2. Herein, we demonstrate that the pathways of the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) can be rationally altered toward C1 or C2+ products by simply optimizing the coordination of Cu with O-containing organic species (squaric acid (H2C4O4) and cyclohexanehexaone (C6O6)). It is revealed that the strength of Cu-O bonds can significantly affect the morphologies and electronic structures of derived Cu catalysts, resulting in the distinct behaviors during CO2RR. Specifically, the C6O6-Cu catalysts made up from organized nanodomains shows a dominant C1 pathway with a total Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 63.7 % at -0.6 V (versus reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE). In comparison, the C4O4-Cu with an about perfect crystalline structure results in uniformly dispersed Cu-atoms, showing a notable FE of 65.8 % for C2+ products with enhanced capability of C-C coupling. The latter system also shows stable operation over at least 10 h with a high current density of 205.1 mA cm-2 at -1.0 VRHE, i.e., is already at the boarder of practical relevance. This study sheds light on the rational design of Cu-based catalysts for directing the CO2RR reaction pathway.

Abstract
How to coordinate electron and ion transport behavior across scales and interfaces within ion battery electrodes? The exponential increase in surface area observed in nanoscale electrode materials results in an incomprehensibly vast spatial interval. Herein, to address the problems of volume expansion, dissolution of cathode material, and the charge accumulation problem existing in manganiferous materials for zinc ion batteries, metal organic framework is utilized to form the architecture of non-interfacial blocking ~10 nm Mn2O3 nanoparticles and amorphous carbon hybrid electrode materials, demonstrating a high specific capacity of 361 mAh g-1 (0.1 A g-1), and excellent cycle stability of 105 mAh g-1 after 2000 cycles under 1 A g-1. The uniform and non-separated disposition of Mn and C atoms constitutes an interconnected network with high electronic and ionic conductivity, minimizing issues like structural collapse and volume expansion of the electrode material during cycling. The cooperative insert mechanism of H+ and Zn2+ are analyzed via ex-situ XRD and in-situ Raman tests. The model battery is assembled to present practical possibilities. The results indicate that MOF-derived carbonization provides an effective strategy for exploring Mn-based electrode materials with high ion and electron transport capacity.

Abstract
Semiconductive coordination polymers (CPs) have recently garnered a significant amount of attention due to their widespread application in many areas. The "through-space" approach has emerged as the most versatile strategy for constructing semiconductive CPs. However, this approach often leads to the formation of unidirectional charge transport paths, resulting in anisotropic electrically conductive performance and low average conductivities in pressed pellets, thus presenting significant challenges for the practical application of semiconductive CPs. Consequently, there is a strong desire to explore simpler and more versatile strategies for designing semiconductive CPs with dual or multiple charge transport paths. Herein, we report on two semiconductive potassium hydroxamate coordination polymers, denoted as [K(HONDI)(H2O)2]n (1) and [K(HONDI)]n (2). Both compounds theoretically possess dual charge transport paths, occurring internally and externally within the π-π stacking columns of the ligands. Conductivity measurements revealed that compounds 1 and 2 both exhibit semiconductive properties, with their electrical conductivities reaching 2.3 × 10-6 and 1.9 × 10-7 S/cm, respectively, at 30 °C. Their electrically conductive performance could be attributed to theoretically biaxial "band-like" charge transport inside crystals and "hopping" charge transport between grain boundaries.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries employing non-Pt cathodes hold significant promise for advancing cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, poor intrinsic electrical conductivity and aggregation tendency hinder the application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as active ORR cathodes. Conductive MOFs possess various atomically dispersed metal centers and well-aligned inherent topologies, eliminating the additional carbonization processes for achieving high conductivity. Here, a novel room-temperature electrochemical cathodic electrodeposition method is introduced for fabricating uniform and continuous layered 2D bimetallic conductive MOF films cathodes without polymeric binders, employing the organic ligand 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene (HITP) and varying the Ni/Cu ratio. The influence of metal centers on modulating the ORR performance is investigated by density functional theory (DFT), demonstrating the performance of bimetallic conductive MOFs can be effectively tuned by the unpaired 3d electrons and the Jahn-Teller effect in the doped Cu. The resulting bimetallic Ni2.1Cu0.9(HITP)2 exhibits superior ORR performance, boasting a high onset potential of 0.93 V. Moreover, the assembled aqueous zinc-air battery demonstrates high specific capacity of 706.2 mA h g-1, and exceptional long-term charge/discharge stability exceeding 1250 cycles.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries with a Zn anode hold great promise as promising candidates for advanced energy storage systems. The construction of protective layer coatings on Zn anode is an effective way to suppress the growth of Zn dendrites and water-induced side reactions. Herein, we reported a series of UIO-66 materials with different concentrations of reduced graphene oxide (rG) coated onto the surface of Zn foil (Zn@UIO-66/rGx; x = 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2). Benefiting from the synergistic effect of UIO-66 and rG, symmetric cells with Zn@UIO-66/rGx (x = 0.1) electrodes exhibit excellent reversibility (e.g., long cycling life over 1100 h at 1 mA cm-2/1 mAh cm-2) and superior rate capability (e.g., over 1100 and 400 h at 5 mA cm-2/2.5 mAh cm-2 and 10 mA cm-2/5 mAh cm-2, respectively). When the Zn@UIO-66/rG0.1 anode was paired with the NaV3O8·1.5H2O (NVO) cathode, the Zn@UIO-66/rG0.1||NVO cell also delivered a high reversible capacity of 189.9 mAh g-1 with an initial capacity retention of 61.3% after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1, compared to the bare Zn||NVO cell with only 92 cycles.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are attractive post-lithium battery technologies for grid-scale energy storage because of their inherent safety, low cost and high theoretical capacity. However, their practical implementation in wide-temperature surroundings persistently confronts irregular zinc electrodeposits and parasitic side reactions on metal anode, which leads to poor rechargeability, low Coulombic efficiency and short lifespan. Here, this work reports lamellar nanoporous Cu/Al2Cu heterostructure electrode as a promising anode host material to regulate high-efficiency and dendrite-free zinc electrodeposition and stripping for wide-temperatures aqueous zinc-ion batteries. In this unique electrode, the interconnective Cu/Al2Cu heterostructure ligaments not only facilitate fast electron transfer but work as highly zincophilic sites for zinc nucleation and deposition by virtue of local galvanic couples while the interpenetrative lamellar channels serving as mass transport pathways. As a result, it exhibits exceptional zinc plating/stripping behaviors in aqueous hybrid electrolyte of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether and zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate at wide temperatures ranging from 25 to -30 °C, with ultralow voltage polarizations at various current densities and ultralong lifespan of >4000 h. The outstanding electrochemical properties enlist full cell of zinc-ion batteries constructed with nanoporous Cu/Al2Cu and ZnxV2O5/C to maintain high capacity and excellent stability for >5000 cycles at 25 and -30 °C.

Abstract
Electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (cMOFs) have garnered significant attention in materials science due to their potential applications in modern electrical devices. However, achieving effective modulation of their conductivity has proven to be a major challenge. In this study, we have successfully prepared cMOFs with high conductivity by incorporating electron-donating fused thiophen rings in the frameworks and extending their π-conjugated systems through ring-closing reactions. The conductivity of cMOFs can be precisely modulated ranging from 10-3 to 102 S m-1 by regulating their dimensions and topologies. Furthermore, leveraging the inherent tunable electrical properties based on topology, we successfully demonstrated the potential of these materials as chemiresistive gas sensors with an outstanding response toward 100 ppm NH3 at room temperature. This work not only provides valuable insights into the design of functional cMOFs with different topologies but also enriches the cMOF family with exceptional conductivity properties.

Abstract
Crystalline covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) have gained considerable interest in energy and catalysis owing to their well-defined nitrogen-rich π-conjugated porosity and superior physicochemical properties, however, suffer from very limited molecular structures. Herein we report a novel solvent-free FeCl3 -catalyzed polymerization of 2, 6-pyridinedicarbonitrile (DCP) to achieve the first synthesis of crystalline, dual-porous, pyridine-based CTF (Fe-CTF). The FeCl3 could not only act as a highly active Lewis acid catalyst for promoting the two-dimensional ordered polymerization of DCP monomers, but also in situ coordinate with the tridentate chelators generated between pyridine and triazine groups to yield unique Fe-N3 single-atom active sites in Fe-CTF. Abundant few-layer crystalline nanosheets (Fe-CTF NSs) could be prepared through simple ball-milling exfoliation of the bulk layered Fe-CTF and exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic performance for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with a half-wave potential and onset potential up to 0.902 and 1.02 V respectively, and extraordinary Zn-air battery performance with an ultrahigh specific capacity and power density of 811 mAh g-1 and 230 mW cm-2 respectively. By combining operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy with density functional theory calculations, we revealed a dynamic and reversible evolution of Fe-N3 to Fe-N2 during the electrocatalytic process, which could further accelerate the electrocatalytic reaction.

Abstract
The effects of surface roughness on the performance of the Zn metal anode in aqueous electrolytes are investigated by experiments and computational simulations. Smooth surfaces can homogenize the nucleation and growth of Zn, which helps to form a flat Zn anode under high current density. In spite of these advantages, the whole surface of the smooth electrode serves as the reactive contact area for parasitic reactions, generating severe hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and byproduct formation, which seriously hinder the long-term cycle stability of the Zn anode. To trade off this double-sided effect, we identify a medium degree of surface roughness that could stabilize the Zn anode for 1000 h cycling at 1.0 mAh cm-2. The electrode also enabled stable cycling for 800 h at a high current density of 5.0 mAh cm-2. This naked Zn metal anode with optimized surface roughness holds great promise for direct use in aqueous zinc ion batteries.

Synergistic Effect of Oxygen Vacancy and High Porosity of Nano MIL-125(Ti) for Enhanced Photocatalytic Nitrogen Fixation. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202316973.

Abstract
This work reports that a low-temperature thermal calcination strategy was adopted to modulate the electronic structure and attain an abundance of surface-active sites while maintaining the crystal morphology. All the experiments demonstrate that the new photocatalyst nano MIL-125(Ti)-250 obtained by thermal calcination strategy has abundant Ti3+ induced by oxygen vacancies and high specific surface area. This facilitates the adsorption and activation of N2 molecules on the active sites in the photocatalytic nitrogen fixation. The photocatalytic NH3 yield over MIL-125(Ti)-250 is enhanced to 156.9 μmol g-1 h-1 , over twice higher than that of the parent MIL-125(Ti) (76.2 μmol g-1 h-1 ). Combined with density function theory (DFT), it shows that the N2 adsorption pattern on the active sites tends to be from "end-on" to "side-on" mode, which is thermodynamically favourable. Moreover, the electrochemical tests demonstrate that the high atomic ratio of Ti3+ /Ti4+ can enhance carrier separation, which also promotes the efficiency of photocatalytic N2 fixation. This work may offer new insights into the design of innovative photocatalysts for various chemical reduction reactions.

Abstract
Functional porous coating on zinc electrode is emerging as a powerful ionic sieve to suppress dendrite growth and side reactions, thereby improving highly reversible aqueous zinc ion batteries. However, the ultrafast charge rate is limited by the substantial cation transmission strongly associated with dehydration efficiency. Here, we unveil the entire dynamic process of solvated Zn2+ ions' continuous dehydration from electrolyte across the MOF-electrolyte interface into channels with the aid of molecular simulations, taking zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-7 as proof-of-concept. The moderate concentration of 2 M ZnSO4 electrolyte being advantageous over other concentrations possesses the homogeneous water-mediated ion pairing distribution, resulting in the lowest dehydration energy, which elucidates the molecular mechanism underlying such concentration adopted by numerous experimental studies. Furthermore, we show that modifying linkers on the ZIF-7 surface with hydrophilic groups such as -OH or -NH2 can weaken the solvation shell of Zn2+ ions to lower the dehydration free energy by approximately 1 eV, and may improve the electrical conductivity of MOF. These results shed light on the ions delivery mechanism and pave way to achieve long-term stable zinc anodes at high capacities through atomic-scale modification of functional porous materials.
