Abstract
Calcium-ion batteries (CIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative for electrochemical energy storage. The lack of high-performance cathode materials severely limits the development of CIBs. Vanadium oxides are particularly attractive as cathode materials for CIBs, and preinsertion chemistry is often used to improve their calcium storage performance. However, the room temperature cycling lifespan of vanadium oxides in organic electrolytes still falls short of 1000 cycles. Here, based on preinsertion chemistry, the cycling life of vanadium oxides is further improved by integrated electrode and electrolyte engineering. Utilizing a tailored Ca electrolyte, the constructed freestanding (NH4)2V6O16·1.35H2O@graphene oxide@carbon nanotube (NHVO-H@GO@CNT) composite cathode achieves a 305 mAh g-1 high capacity and 10 000 cycles record-long life. Additionally, for the first time, a Ca-ion hybrid capacitor full cell is assembled and delivers a capacity of 62.8 mAh g-1. The calcium storage mechanism of NHVO-H@GO@CNT based on a two-phase reaction and the exchange of NH4 + and Ca2+ during cycling are revealed. The lattice self-regulation of V─O layers is observed and the layered vanadium oxides with Ca2+ pillars formed by ion exchange exhibit higher capacity. This work provides novel strategies to enhance the calcium storage performance of vanadium oxides via integrated structural design of electrodes and electrolyte modification.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca) batteries are attractive post-lithium battery technologies, due to their potential to provide high-voltage and high-energy systems in a sustainable manner. We investigated herein 1,5-poly(anthraquinonylsulfide) (PAQS) for Ca-ion storage with calcium tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy)borate Ca[B(hfip)4 ]2 [hfip=OCH(CF3 )2 ] electrolytes. It is demonstrated that PAQS could be synthesized in a cost-effective approach and be processed environmentally friendly into the electrodes. The PAQS cathodes could provide 94 mAh g-1 capacity at 2.2 V vs. Ca at 0.5C (1C=225 mAh g-1 ). However, cycling of the cells was severely hindered due to the fast degradation of the metal anode. Replacing the Ca metal anode with a calcium-tin (Ca-Sn) alloy anode, the PAQS cathodes exhibited long cycling performance (45 mAh g-1 at 0.5C after 1000 cycles) and superior rate capability (52 mAh g-1 at 5C). This is mainly ascribed to the flexible structure of PAQS and good compatibility of the alloy anodes with the electrolyte solutions, which allow reversible quinone carbonyl redox chemistry in the Ca battery systems. The promising properties of PAQS indicate that further exploration of the organic cathode materials could be a feasible direction towards green Ca batteries.

Abstract
The dependence on lithium for the energy needs of the world, coupled with its scarcity, has prompted the exploration of postlithium alternatives. Calcium-ion batteries are one such possible alternative owing to their high energy density, similar reduction potential, and naturally higher abundance. A critical gap in calcium-ion batteries is the lack of suitable cathodes for intercalating calcium at high voltages and capacities while also maintaining structural stability. Transition metal oxide postspinels have been identified as having crystal structures that can provide low migration barriers, high voltages, and facile transport pathways for calcium ions and thus can serve as cathodes for calcium-ion batteries. However, experimental validation of transition metal oxide postspinel compounds for calcium ion conduction remains unexplored. In this work, calcium manganese oxide (CaMn2O4) in the postspinel phase is explored as an intercalation cathode for calcium-ion batteries. CaMn2O4 is first synthesized via solid-state synthesis, and the phase is verified with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The redox activity of the cathode is investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic (GS) cycling, identifying oxidation potentials at 0.2 and 0.5 V and a broad insertion potential at -1.5 V. CaMn2O4 can cycle at a capacity of 52 mAh/g at a rate of C/33, and calcium cycling is verified with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and modeled with density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The results from the investigation concluded that CaMn2O4 is a promising cathode for calcium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The development of fast charging materials offers a viable solution for large-scale and sustainable energy storage needs. However, it remains a critical challenge to improve the electrical and ionic conductivity for better performance. Topological insulator (TI), a topological quantum material that has attracted worldwide attention, hosts unusual metallic surface states and consequent high carrier mobility. Nevertheless, its potential in promising high-rate charging capability has not been fully realized and explored. Herein, a novel Bi2 Se3 -ZnSe heterostructure as excellent fast charging material for Na+ storage is reported. Ultrathin Bi2 Se3 nanoplates with rich TI metallic surfaces are introduced as an electronic platform inside the material, which greatly reduces the charge transfer resistance and improves the overall electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, the abundant crystalline interfaces between these two selenides promote Na+ migration and provide additional active sites as well. As expected, the composite delivers the excellent high-rate performance of 360.5 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 and maintains its electrochemical stability of 318.4 mAh g-1 after 3000 long cycles, which is the record high for all reported selenide-based anodes. This work is anticipated to provide alternative strategies for further exploration of topological insulators and advanced heterostructures.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives promise great potential in energy storage and conversion because of their excellent tunability in both the active metal sites, organic links, and the overall structures down to atomic and up to mesoscale. Nevertheless, a big challenge is to precisely control and thoroughly understand the actual MOF-to-derivative conversion process to realize the template-free synthesis of the MOF-derived ordered mesoporous materials. Here, a class of ordered mesoporous N-doped carbon nanoflakes is presented with slit-shaped pores synthesized by one-step pyrolysis of Zn1 Cux -MOF, where the Cu doping plays a critically important direction-inducing function on the dissociation of organic ligands during the pyrolysis. Benefiting from the uniquely ordered mesoporous structure and large specific surface area (910 m2 g-1 ), the Zn1 Cux -MOF-derived ordered mesoporous carbon nanoflakes present outstanding electrochemical storage performance for multivalent metal ions, such as Mg2+ , Ca2+ , Co2+ , Ni2+ , Al3+ , and Zn2+ , demonstrating the universal nature of the slit-shaped pores in enabling the multivalent metal ions for energy storage. Moreover, the assembled flexible Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitor (ZHSC) delivers a high specific capacity of 134 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 , excellent cycling and mechanical stability, showing great application potential in the new generation energy storage devices.
