Abstract
Although vanadium-based compounds possess several advantageous characteristics, such as multivalency, open structure, and high theoretical specific capacity, which render them highly promising candidates for cathode materials in aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs), their large-scale application still necessitates addressing the challenges posed by slow kinetics resulting from low conductivity and capacity degradation caused by material dissolution. Therefore, we have successfully synthesized high-purity mixed multivalent (NH4)8[VIV12VV7O41(OH)9]·11H2O (NVO) crystalline materials via a liquid-phase precipitation modulation method and employed it as an innovative AZIB cathode material for the first time. It exhibits a remarkable reversible specific capacity of 240 and 102.2 mAh g-1 after undergoing 1000 cycles at current densities of 1 and 5 A g-1, respectively, highlighting its exceptional cycling stability and electrochemical performance. The results from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and GITT tests demonstrate that the dominant factor influencing the charge storage is the pseudocapacitive behavior, which is accompanied by an exceptionally high diffusion coefficient of Zn2+ at a rate of 10-10 cm2 s-1. The highly reversible intercalation-deintercalation of Zn2+ in NVO/Zn cells is demonstrated through ex-situ TEM, XRD, and XPS analyses. This work provides a benchmark for the development of high-performance POV electrode materials.

Abstract
I+ hydrolysis, sluggish iodine redox kinetics and the instability of Zn anodes are the primary challenges for aqueous four-electron zinc-iodine batteries (4eZIBs). Herein, the OTf- anion chemistry in aqueous electrolyte is essential for developing advanced 4eZIBs. It is elucidated that OTf- anions establish weak hydrogen bonds (H bonds) with water to stabilize I+ species while optimizing a water-lean Zn2+ coordination structure to mitigate Zn dendrites and corrosion. Moreover, the interaction of the OTf- anions with the iodine species results in an increased equilibrium average intermolecular bond length of the iodine species, facilitating the 4e redox kinetics of iodine with improved reversibility.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc metal batteries are a viable candidate for next-generation energy storage systems, but suffer from poor cycling efficiency of the Zn anode. Emerging approaches aim to regulate zinc plating behavior to suppress uncontrolled dendrites, while the stripping process is seldom considered. Herein, an oriented metal stripping strategy is demonstrated to stabilize the Zn anode by removing high-index facets for exposing the (002) plane through the addition of anionic additive sodium citrate (SC). Consequently, high-index facets that coordinate strongly with SC are preferentially stripped out due to a reduced stripping barrier, rendering stable (002) facet preponderant in epitaxial plating. After repeat stripping/plating, the ultra-high proportion of 93% for (002) and large-size grains of ≈100 µm (six times larger than before) can be obtained. Zn anode shows continuous 25 000 cycles with low overpotential at 100 mA cm-2 in symmetric cells and more than 70 h of stable operation even at an ultra-high depth of discharge of 92.3%. Moreover, an extremely long lifespan of 12 000 cycles at 10 A g-1 with a high capacity retention of 89% is achieved by the assembled Zn//I2 battery. This work provides a distinctive approach to improving the stripping process to design highly efficient zinc anodes for promising aqueous zinc metal batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous ammonium ion hybrid supercapacitor (A-HSC) is an efficient energy storage device based on nonmetallic ion carriers (NH4+), which combines advantages such as low cost, safety, and sustainability. However, unstable electrode structures are prone to structural collapse in aqueous electrolytes, leading to fast capacitance decay, especially in host materials represented by vanadium-based oxidation. Here, the Co2+ preintercalation strategy is used to stabilize the VO2 tunnel structure and improve the electrochemical stability of the fast NH4+ storage process. In addition, the understanding of the NH4+ storage mechanism has been deepened through ex situ structural characterization and electrochemical analysis. The results indicate that Co2+ preintercalation effectively enhances the conductivity and structural stability of VO2, and inhibits the dissolution of V in aqueous electrolytes. In addition, the charge storage mechanisms of NH4+ intercalation/deintercalation and the reversible formation/fracture of hydrogen bonds were revealed.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal borides (MBenes), new members of the 2D materials family, hold great promise for use in the electrocatalytic and energy storage fields because of their high specific area, high chemical activity, and fast charge carrier mobility. Although various types of MBenes are reported, layered MBenes featuring redox-active terminal groups for high energy output are not yet produced. A facile and energy-efficient method for synthesizing MBenes equipped with redox-active terminal groups for cascade Zn||I2 batteries is presented. Layered MBenes have ordered metal vacancies and ─Br terminal groups, enabling the sequential reactions of I-/I0 and Br-/Br0. The I2-hosting MBene-Br cathode results in a specific energy as high as 485.8 Wh kg-1 at 899.7 W kg-1 and a specific power as high as 6007.7 W kg-1 at 180.2 Wh kg-1, far exceeding the best records for Zn||I2 batteries. The results of this study demonstrate that the challenges of MBene synthesis can be overcome and reveal an efficient path for producing high-performance redox-active electrode materials for energy-dense cascade aqueous batteries.

Chem Sci 2024; 15:4581-4589. [PMID: 38516097 PMCID: PMC10952096 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc00276h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The realization of high energy is of great importance to unlock the practical potential of zinc-iodine batteries. However, significant challenges, such as low iodine loading (mostly less than 50 wt%), restricted iodine reutilization, and severe structural pulverization during cycling, compromise its intrinsic features. This study introduces an optimized, fully zincified zinc iodide loaded onto a hierarchical carbon scaffold with high active component loading and content (82 wt%) to prepare a thick cathode for enabling high-energy Zn-I2 batteries. The synergistic interactions between nitrogen heteroatoms and cobalt nanocrystals within the porous matrix not only provide forceful chemisorption to lock polyiodide intermediates but also invoke the electrocatalytic effects to manipulate efficient iodine conversion. The ZnI2 cathode could effectively alleviate continuous volumetric expansion and maximize the utilization of active species. The electrochemical examinations confirm the thickness-independent battery performance of assembled Zn-I2 cells due to the ensemble effect of composite electrodes. Accordingly, with a thickness of 300 μm and ZnI2 loading of up to 20.5 mg cm-2, the cathode delivers a specific capacity of 92 mA h gcathode-1 after 2000 cycles at 1C. Moreover, the Zn-I2 pouch cell with ZnI2 cathode has an energy density of 145 W h kgcathode-1 as well as a stable long cycle life.
