Abstract
Aqueous Zn-metal batteries have attracted increasing interest for large-scale energy storage owing to their outstanding merits in terms of safety, cost and production. However, they constantly suffer from inadequate energy density and poor cycling stability due to the presence of zinc ions in the fully hydrated solvation state. Thus, designing the dehydrated solvation structure of zinc ions can effectively address the current drawbacks of aqueous Zn-metal batteries. In this case, considering the lack of studies focused on strategies for the dehydration of zinc ions, herein, we present a systematic and comprehensive review to deepen the understanding of zinc-ion solvation regulation. Two fundamental design principles of component regulation and pre-desolvation are summarized in terms of solvation environment formation and interfacial desolvation behavior. Subsequently, specific strategy based distinct principles are carefully discussed, including preparation methods, working mechanisms, analysis approaches and performance improvements. Finally, we present a general summary of the issues addressed using zinc-ion dehydration strategies, and four critical aspects to promote zinc-ion solvation regulation are presented as an outlook, involving updating (de)solvation theories, revealing interfacial evolution, enhancing analysis techniques and developing functional materials. We believe that this review will not only stimulate more creativity in optimizing aqueous electrolytes but also provide valuable insights into designing other battery systems.

Abstract
Aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) and aqueous potassium-ion batteries (APIBs) present significant potential for large-scale energy storage due to their cost-effectiveness, safety, and environmental compatibility. Nonetheless, the intricate energy storage mechanisms in aqueous electrolytes place stringent requirements on the host materials. Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), with their open three-dimensional framework and facile synthesis, stand out as leading candidates for aqueous energy storage. However, PBAs possess a swift capacity fade and limited cycle longevity, for their structural integrity is compromised by the pronounced dissolution of transition metal (TM) ions in the aqueous milieu. This manuscript provides an exhaustive review of the recent advancements concerning PBAs in ASIBs and APIBs. The dissolution mechanisms of TM ions in PBAs, informed by their structural attributes and redox processes, are thoroughly examined. Moreover, this study delves into innovative design tactics to alleviate the dissolution issue of TM ions. In conclusion, the paper consolidates various strategies for suppressing the dissolution of TM ions in PBAs and posits avenues for prospective exploration of high-safety aqueous sodium-/potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Water in electrolytes is a double-edged sword in zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). While it allows for proton insertion in the cathode, resulting in a significant increase in capacity compared to that of organic ZIBs, it also causes damage to electrodes, leading to performance degradation. To overcome the capacity-stability trade-off, organic solvents containing a small amount of water are proposed to mitigate the harmful effects of water while ensuring sufficient proton insertion. Remarkably, in a Zn(OTf)2 electrolyte using 8% H2O in acetonitrile as the solvent, Zn‖(NH4)0.5V2O5·0.5H2O exhibited a capacity as high as 490 mA h g-1 at a low current (0.3 A g-1), with a capacity retention of 80% even after 9000 cycles at high current (6 A g-1), simultaneously achieving the high capacity as in pure aqueous electrolytes and excellent stability as in organic electrolytes. We also found that the water content strongly impacts the kinetics and reversibility of ion insertion/extraction and zinc stripping/plating. Furthermore, compared to electrolytes with pure acetonitrile or H2O solvents, electrolytes with only 8% H2O in acetonitrile provide higher capacities at temperatures ranging from 0 to -50 °C. These discoveries enhance our understanding of the mechanisms involved in ZIBs and present a promising path toward enhancing electrolyte solutions for the creation of high-performance ZIBs.

Abstract
Batteries based on zinc (Zn) chemistry offer a great opportunity for large-scale applications owing to their safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. However, the poor Zn reversibility and inhomogeneous electrodeposition have greatly impeded their practical implementation, stemming from water-related passivation/corrosion. Here, we present a multifunctional electrolyte comprising gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and Zn(BF4)2·xH2O to resolve these intrinsic challenges. The systematic results confirm that water reactivity toward a Zn anode is minimized by forcing GBL solvents into the Zn2+ solvation shell and constructing a fluorinated interphase on the Zn anode surface via anion decomposition. Furthermore, NMR was selected as an auxiliary testing protocol to elevate and understand the role of electrolyte composition in building the interphase. The combined factors in synergy guarantee high Zn reversibility (average Coulombic efficiency is 99.74%), high areal capacity (55 mAh/cm2), and high Zn utilization (∼91%). Ultimately, these merits enable the Zn battery utilizing a VO2 cathode to operate smoothly over 5000 cycles with a low-capacity decay rate of ∼0.0083% per cycle and a 0.23 Ah VO2/Zn pouch cell to operate over 400 cycles with a capacity retention of 77.3%.

Abstract
With the rapid development of portable electronics and electric road vehicles, high-energy-density batteries have been becoming front-burner issues. Traditionally, homogeneous electrolyte cannot simultaneously meet diametrically opposed demands of high-potential cathode and low-potential anode, which are essential for high-voltage batteries. Meanwhile, homogeneous electrolyte is difficult to achieve bi- or multi-functions to meet different requirements of electrodes. In comparison, the asymmetric electrolyte with bi- or multi-layer disparate components can satisfy distinct requirements by playing different roles of each electrolyte layer and meanwhile compensates weakness of individual electrolyte. Consequently, the asymmetric electrolyte can not only suppress by-product sedimentation and continuous electrolyte decomposition at the anode while preserving active substances at the cathode for high-voltage batteries with long cyclic lifespan. In this review, we comprehensively divide asymmetric electrolytes into three categories: decoupled liquid-state electrolytes, bi-phase solid/liquid electrolytes and decoupled asymmetric solid-state electrolytes. The design principles, reaction mechanism and mutual compatibility are also studied, respectively. Finally, we provide a comprehensive vision for the simplification of structure to reduce costs and increase device energy density, and the optimization of solvation structure at anolyte/catholyte interface to realize fast ion transport kinetics.

Abstract
Vanadyl phosphate (VOPO4 ·2H2 O) has been regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous Zn-ion batteries due to its distinct layered structure. However, VOPO4 ·2H2 O has not yet demonstrated the exceptional Zn ion storage performance owing to the structural deterioration during repeated charging/discharging process and poor intrinsic conductivity. In this work, 2D sodium vanadyl phosphate (NaVOPO4 ·0.83H2 O, denoted as NaVOP) is designed as a cathode material for Zn-ion batteries, in which sodium ions are preinserted into the interlayer, replacing part of water. Benefiting from the in situ surface oxidization, improved electronic conductivity, and increased hydrophobicity, the NaVOP electrode exhibits a high discharge capacity of 187 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after activation, excellent rate capability and enhanced cycling performance with 85% capacity retention after 1500 cycles at 1 A g-1 . The energy storage mechanism of the NaVOP nanoflakes based on the rapid Zn2+ and H+ intercalation pseudocapacitance are investigated via multiple ex situ characterizations.

Abstract
Al ion batteries (AIBs) are attracting considerable attention owing to high volumetric capacity, low cost, and high safety. However, the strong electrostatic interaction between Al3+ and host lattice leads to discontented cycling life and inferior rate capability. Herein, a new strategy of employing water molecules contained VOPO4 ·H2 O to boost Al3+ migration via the charge shielding effect of water is reported. It is revealed that VOPO4 ·H2 O with water lubrication effect and smaller steric hindrance owns high capacity and fast Al3+ diffusion, while the loss of unstable water upon cycling leads to a rapid performance degradation. To address this problem, ultrathin VOPO4 ·H2 O@MXene nanosheets are fabricated via the formed TiOV bond between VOPO4 ·H2 O and MXene. The MXene aided exfoliation results in enhanced VOwater bond strength between H2 O and VOPO4 that endows the obtained composite with strong water holding ability, contributing to the extraordinary cycling stability. Consequently, the VOPO4 ·H2 O@MXene delivers a high discharge potential of 1.8 V and maintains discharge capacities of 410 and 374.8 mAh g-1 after 420 and 2000 cycles at the current densities of 0.5 and 1.0 A g-1 , respectively. This work provides a new understanding of water-contained AIBs cathodes and vital guidance for developing high-performance AIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) stand out among many monovalent/multivalent metal-ion batteries as promising new energy storage devices because of their good safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, there are still many great challenges to exploring new-type cathode materials that are suitable for Zn2+ intercalation. Vanadium-based compounds with various structures, large layer spacing, and different oxidation states are considered suitable cathode candidates for AZIBs. Herein, the research advances in vanadium-based compounds in recent years are systematically reviewed. The preparation methods, crystal structures, electrochemical performances, and energy storage mechanisms of vanadium-based compounds (e.g., vanadium phosphates, vanadium oxides, vanadates, vanadium sulfides, and vanadium nitrides) are mainly introduced. Finally, the limitations and development prospects of vanadium-based compounds are pointed out. Vanadium-based compounds as cathode materials for AZIBs are hoped to flourish in the coming years and attract more and more researchers' attention.

Abstract
Growth of dendrites, limited coulombic efficiency (CE), and the lack of high-voltage electrolytes restrict the commercialization of zinc batteries and capacitors. These issues are resolved by a new electrolyte, based on the zinc(II)-betaine complex [Zn(bet)2 ][NTf2 ]2 . Solutions in acetonitrile (AN) avoid dendrite formation. A Zn||Zn cell operates stably over 10 110 h (5055 cycles) at 0.2 mA cm-2 or 110 h at 50 mA cm-2 , and has an area capacity of 113 mAh cm-2 at 80% depth of discharge. A zinc-graphite battery performs at 2.6 V with a midpoint discharge-voltage of 2.4 V. The capacity-retention at 3 A g-1 (150 C) is 97% after 1000 cycles and 68% after 10 000 cycles. The charge/discharge time is about 24 s at 3.0 A g-1 with an energy density of 49 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 6864 W kg-1 based on the cathode. A zinc||activated-carbon ion-capacitor (coin cell) exhibits an operating-voltage window of 2.5 V, an energy density of 96 Wh kg-1 with a power density of 610 W kg-1 at 0.5 A g-1 . At 12 A g-1 , 36 Wh kg-1 , and 13 600 W kg-1 are achieved with 90% capacity-retention and an average CE of 96% over 10 000 cycles. Quantum-chemical methods and vibrational spectroscopy reveal [Zn(bet)2 (AN)2 ]2+ as the dominant complex in the electrolyte.

Abstract
Zinc metal battery (ZMB) is promising as the next generation of energy storage system, but challenges relating to dendrites and corrosion of the zinc anode are restricting its practical application. Here, to stabilize Zn anode, we report a controlled electrolytic method for a monolithic solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) via a high dipole moment solvent dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP). The DMMP-based electrolytes can generate a homogeneous and robust phosphate SEI (Zn3 (PO4 )2 and ZnP2 O6 ). Benefiting from the protecting impact of this in situ monolithic SEI, the zinc electrode exhibits long-term cycling of 4700 h and a high Coulombic efficiency 99.89 % in Zn|Zn and Zn|Cu cell, respectively. The full V2 O5 |Zn battery with DMMP-H2 O hybrid electrolyte exhibits a high capacity retention of 82.2 % following 4000 cycles under 5 A g-1 . The first success in constructing the monolithic phosphate SEI will open a new avenue in electrolyte design for highly reversible and stable Zn metal anodes.

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
Rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are attractive for large-scale energy storage due to their superiority in resources, safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the lack of suitable ZIBs cathode materials limits their practical applications. In consideration of the excellent electrochemical performance of phosphate materials in monovalent ion (Li+ , Na+ ) batteries, they were also employed as ZIBs cathode materials recently and performed well with high potential. But they also suffer from low capacity and poor conductivity, and the energy storage mechanism is not clear yet. This Review provides a state-of-the art overview on the developments of phosphate cathode materials in ZIBs, including NASICON-type phosphates, fluorophosphates, olivine-structured, layered-structured, and novel-structured phosphate materials mainly. This study presents the reaction mechanism and electrochemical performance of phosphate cathode materials in aqueous ZIBs, and future research directions are discussed, which are intended to provide guidance for exploring high-potential cathode materials for ZIBs.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) feature high safety, low cost, environmental-friendliness, and promising electrochemical performance, and are therefore regarded as a potential technology to be applied in large-scale energy storage devices. However, ZIBs still face some critical challenges and bottlenecks. The electrolyte is an essential component of batteries and its properties affect the mass transport, energy storage mechanisms, reaction kinetics, and side reactions of ZIBs. The adjustment of electrolyte formulas usually has direct and obvious impacts on the overall output and performance. In this review, advanced electrolyte strategies are overviewed for optimizing the compatibility between cathode materials and electrolytes, inhibiting anode corrosion and dendrite growth, extending electrochemical stability windows, enabling wearable applications, and enhancing temperature tolerance. The underlying scientific mechanisms, electrolyte design principles, and recent progress are presented to provide a better understanding and inspiration to readers. In addition, a comprehensive perspective about electrolyte design and engineering for ZIBs is included.

Abstract
The transformation of polyanion cathodes into oxides in aqueous Zn batteries results in voltage decay. Herein, we uncover a polyanion dissolution and oxide re-electrodeposition process for this transformation. Accordingly, the dissolution is inhibited by reducing the water activity in the electrolyte with the hydrogen bond regulator of glucose (Glu). In the 4 m Zn(OTf)2/5.5 m Glu electrolyte, the VOPO4·2H2O cathode maintains the redox reactions at a high voltage of 1.6 V/1.5 V with stable capacity retention during cycling at different rates. It also shows promising electrochemical activity and stability at temperatures down to -20 °C.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2), as a promising cathode candidate, has attracted great attention in aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the undesirable dissolution of Mn2+ and the sluggish kinetic reaction are still two challenges to overcome before achieving good cycling stability and high-rate performance of ZIBs. Herein, β-MnO2 with chemically residual NH4+ (NMO) was successfully fabricated by controlling the washing condition and utilized as a cathode in a ZIB. Interestingly, NH4+, as a layer pillar in the tunnel structure of NMO, could enhance its conductivity by changing the chemical structure, contributing to accelerating the kinetics of the charge carrier. Moreover, the residual NH4+ in NMO could stabilize the chemical microstructure through the cationic electrostatic shielding effect and the formation of Mn-O⋯H bonds in NMO, promoting the reversible and successive insertion/extraction of H+/Zn2+ in the ZIB. As a result, the Zn/NMO battery exhibits excellent rate performance (up to 8.0 A g-1) and cycling stability (10 000 cycles). This work will pave the way for the design of cathode materials with nonmetallic doping for high-performance ZIB systems.

Abstract
Iron ion batteries using Fe2+ as a charge carrier have yet to be widely explored, and they lack high-performing Fe2+ hosting cathode materials to couple with the iron metal anode. Here, it is demonstrated that VOPO4 ∙2H2 O can reversibly host Fe2+ with a high specific capacity of 100 mAh g-1 and stable cycling performance, where 68% of the initial capacity is retained over 800 cycles. In sharp contrast, VOPO4 ∙2H2 O's capacity of hosting Zn2+ fades precipitously over tens of cycles. VOPO4 ∙2H2 O stores Fe2+ with a unique mechanism, where upon contacting the electrolyte by the VOPO4 ∙2H2 O electrode, Fe2+ ions from the electrolyte get oxidized to Fe3+ ions that are inserted and trapped in the VOPO4 ∙2H2 O structure in an electroless redox reaction. The trapped Fe3+ ions, thus, bolt the layered structure of VOPO4 ∙2H2 O, which prevents it from dissolution into the electrolyte during (de)insertion of Fe2+ . The findings offer a new strategy to use a redox-active ion charge carrier to stabilize the layered electrode materials.

Abstract
Aqueous electrolytes offer major advantages in safe battery operation, green economy, and low production cost for advanced battery technology. However, strong water activity in aqueous electrolytes provokes a hydrogen evolution reaction and parasitic passivation on electrodes, leaving poor ion-transport in the electrolyte/electrode interface. Herein, a zeolite molecular sieve-modified (zeolite-modified) aqueous electrolyte is proposed to reduce water activity and its side-reaction. First, Raman spectroscopy reveals a highly aggressive solvation configuration and significantly suppressed water activity toward single water molecule. Then less hydrogen evolution and anti-corrosion ability of zeolite-modified electrolyte by simulation and electrochemical characterizations are identified. Consequently, a zinc (Zn) anode involves less side-reaction, and develops into a compact deposition morphology, as proved by space-resolution characterizations. Moreover, zeolite-modified electrolyte favors cyclic life of symmetric Zn||Zn cells to 4765 h at 0.8 mA cm-2 , zinc-VO2 coin cell to 3000 cycles, and pouch cell to 100 cycles. Finally, the mature production technique and low-cost of zeolite molecular sieve would tremendously favor the future scale-up application in engineering aspect.

Abstract
Metallic zinc is an ideal anode due to its high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g-1), low redox potential (-0.762 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode), high abundance and low toxicity. When used in aqueous electrolyte, it also brings intrinsic safety, but suffers from severe irreversibility. This is best exemplified by low coulombic efficiency, dendrite growth and water consumption. This is thought to be due to severe hydrogen evolution during zinc plating and stripping, hitherto making the in-situ formation of a solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) impossible. Here, we report an aqueous zinc battery in which a dilute and acidic aqueous electrolyte with an alkylammonium salt additive assists the formation of a robust, Zn2+-conducting and waterproof SEI. The presence of this SEI enables excellent performance: dendrite-free zinc plating/stripping at 99.9% coulombic efficiency in a Ti||Zn asymmetric cell for 1,000 cycles; steady charge-discharge in a Zn||Zn symmetric cell for 6,000 cycles (6,000 h); and high energy densities (136 Wh kg-1 in a Zn||VOPO4 full battery with 88.7% retention for >6,000 cycles, 325 Wh kg-1 in a Zn||O2 full battery for >300 cycles and 218 Wh kg-1 in a Zn||MnO2 full battery with 88.5% retention for 1,000 cycles) using limited zinc. The SEI-forming electrolyte also allows the reversible operation of an anode-free pouch cell of Ti||ZnxVOPO4 at 100% depth of discharge for 100 cycles, thus establishing aqueous zinc batteries as viable cell systems for practical applications.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have captured a surge of interest in recent years as a promising alternative for scalable energy storage applications owing to the intrinsic safety, affordability, environmental benignity, and impressive electrochemical performance. Despite the facilitated development of this technology by many investigations, however, its smooth implementation is still plagued by inadequate energy density and undesirable life span, which calls for an efficient and controllable cathode storage chemistry. Here, this review focuses on the key bottlenecks by offering a comprehensive summary of representative cathode materials and comparatively analyzing their structural features and electrochemical properties. Then, we critically present several feasible electrode design strategies to guide future research activities from a fundamental perspective for high-energy-density and durable cathode materials mainly in terms of interlayer regulation, defect engineering, multiple redox reactions, activated two-electron reactions, and electrochemical activation and conversion. Finally, we outline the remaining challenges and future perspectives of developing high-performance AZIBs.

A universal strategy towards high-energy aqueous multivalent-ion batteries. Nat Commun 2021; 12:2857.

Abstract
Rechargeable multivalent metal (e.g., Ca, Mg or, Al) batteries are ideal candidates for large–scale electrochemical energy storage due to their intrinsic low cost. However, their practical application is hampered by the low electrochemical reversibility, dendrite growth at the metal anodes, sluggish multivalent–ion kinetics in metal oxide cathodes and, poor electrode compatibility with non–aqueous organic–based electrolytes. To circumvent these issues, here we report various aqueous multivalent–ion batteries comprising of concentrated aqueous gel electrolytes, sulfur–containing anodes and, high-voltage metal oxide cathodes as alternative systems to the non–aqueous multivalent metal batteries. This rationally designed aqueous battery chemistry enables satisfactory specific energy, favorable reversibility and improved safety. As a demonstration model, we report a room–temperature calcium-ion/sulfur| |metal oxide full cell with a specific energy of 110 Wh kg–1 and remarkable cycling stability. Molecular dynamics modeling and experimental investigations reveal that the side reactions could be significantly restrained through the suppressed water activity and formation of a protective inorganic solid electrolyte interphase. The unique redox chemistry of the multivalent–ion system is also demonstrated for aqueous magnesium–ion/sulfur||metal oxide and aluminum–ion/sulfur||metal oxide full cells. Rechargeable multivalent-ion batteries are promising candidates for future energy storage technologies. Here, the authors develop various aqueous multivalent-ion cells using concentrated aqueous gel electrolytes, sulfur-containing anodes, and high-voltage metal oxide cathodes.

Abstract
With the surging development of flexible wearable and stretchable electronic devices, flexible energy-storage devices with excellent electrochemical properties are in great demand. Herein, a flexible Zn-ion battery comprised by hydrated zinc vanadium oxide/carbon cloth (ZnVOH/CC) as the cathode is developed, and it shows a high energy density, superior lifespan, and good safety. ZnVOH/CC is obtained by the in situ transformation of hydrated vanadium oxide/carbon cloth (VOH/CC) by an electrochemical method, and the intercalation pseudocapacitive reaction mechanism is discovered for ZnVOH/CC. The co-insertion/deinsertion of H+/Zn2+ is observed; the H+ insertion dominates in the initial discharge stage and the high-rate electrochemical process, while Zn2+ insertion dominates the following discharge stage and the low-rate electrochemical procedure. An ultrastable reversible capacity of 135 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 is obtained after 5000 cycles without capacity fading. Moreover, the as-assembled flexible zinc-ion battery can operate normally under rolled, folded, and punched conditions with superior safety. It is capable to deliver a high discharge capacity of 184 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 after 170 cycles. This work paves a new way for designing low-cost, safe, and quick-charging energy-storage devices for flexible electronics.

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for safe batteries has driven research efforts to develop aqueous rechargeable batteries. In this regard, Ni-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have received marked attention owing to their adequate operating potential, high specific capacity, and decent cycling performance. Nevertheless, the effect of immobile intercalants (e. g., crystal water and anions) that are inherently present in the interlayer galleries is barely understood. In this paper, we report that the electrochemical performance of LDH largely depends on the extent to which the crystallinity is affected by the binding strength of crystal water to the transition metal slabs. A series of infrared spectroscopy and in-situ X-ray absorption analyses reveal that the lattice disordering in LDHs is beneficial for accommodating the stress during the (de)intercalation of carrier ions, which serves as the origin of their superior specific capacities and cycle life. This study presents a useful structure-property relationship of the way in which the binding affinity of crystal water affects the key electrochemical properties of the host electrode materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted increased attention as advanced electrodes in electrochemical energy storage owing to their thin nature and large specific surface area. However, limited interlayer spacing confines the mass and ion transport within the layers, resulting in poor rate performance. Considerable efforts have been made to deal with this intrinsic problem of pristine 2D materials. Among them, interlayer engineering through pillared designs offers abundant electrochemical active sites and promotes ion diffusion. Synergetic effects between incorporated species and 2D hosts offer much better conductivity and surface modification. As a result, 2D materials with advanced pillared designs demonstrate great enhancement of specific capacity/capacitance and rate performance. Herein, we summarize the recent progress of pillared 2D materials in relation to the intercalated species. Moreover, we highlight their typical applications in lithium-ion storage and beyond to provide some insights on future trends towards this research area.

Abstract
There is a growing need for fast, efficient, safe, and low-cost energy storage. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) may be able to address this need, but suffer from fast capacity fade and poor ion diffusion kinetics due to unstable structures and non-optimised interspacing of layered cathode materials. Herein, we propose a structural engineering strategy by synergistically inducing anionic defects and cationic groups within vanadium bronze structures to improve kinetics and boost capacity. The materials discovered and used as the cathodes in AZIBs showed a high capacity of 435 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 and excellent stability with 95% capacity retention after 1500 cycles at 10 A g-1. This combined experimental and computational study systemically indicated that rapid Zn2+ storage was achieved from both a highly porous structure and enlarged d-spacing combined with improved electron conductivity as determined by density of states calculations. The modification of vanadium bronze-type cathodes achieved by controlled pre-intercalated species and tailored oxygen deficiency opens up an avenue for the realization of superior material design, whose feasibility is proved in this work.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable Zn/birnessite batteries have recently attracted extensive attention for energy storage system because of their low cost and high safety. However, the reaction mechanism of the birnessite cathode in aqueous electrolytes and the cathode structure degradation mechanics still remain elusive and controversial. In this work, it is found that solvation water molecules coordinated to Zn2+ are coinserted into birnessite lattice structure contributing to Zn2+ diffusion. However, the birnessite will suffer from hydroxylation and Mn dissolution with too much solvated water coinsertion. Through engineering Zn2+ primary solvation sheath with strong-field ligand in aqueous electrolyte, highly reversible [Zn(H2 O)2 ]2+ complex intercalation/extraction into/from birnessite cathode is obtained. Cathode-electrolyte interface suppressing the Mn dissolution also forms. The Zn metal anode also shows high reversibility without formation of "death-zinc" and detrimental dendrite. A full cell coupled with birnessite cathode and Zn metal anode delivers a discharge capacity of 270 mAh g-1 , a high energy density of 280 Wh kg-1 (based on total mass of cathode and anode active materials), and capacity retention of 90% over 5000 cycles.

Abstract
The lack of suitable cathodes is one of the key reasons that impede the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Because of the inherently unsuitable structure and inferior physicochemical properties, the low-valent V2O3 as Zn2+ host could not be effectively discharged. Herein, we demonstrate that V2O3 (theoretical capacity up to 715 mAh g-1) can be utilized as a high-performance cathode material by an in situ anodic oxidation strategy. Through simultaneously regulating the concentration of the electrolyte and the morphology of the V2O3 sample, the ultraefficient anodic oxidation process of the V2O3 cathode was achieved within the first charging, and the mechanism was also schematically investigated. As expected, the V2O3 cathode with a hierarchical microcuboid structure achieved a nearly two-electron transfer process, enabling a high discharging capacity of 625 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 (corresponding to a high energy density of 406 Wh kg-1) and cycling stability (100% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles). This work not only sheds light on the phase transition process of low-valent V2O3 but also exploits a method toward design of advanced cathode materials.

Abstract
The aqueous zinc ion battery has emerged as a promising alternative technology for large-scale energy storage due to its low cost, natural abundance, and high safety features. However, the sluggish kinetics stemming from the strong electrostatic interaction of divalent zinc ions in the host crystal structure is one of challenges for highly efficient energy storage. Oxygen vacancies (VO••), in the present work, lead to a larger tunnel structure along the b axis, which improves the reactive kinetics and enhances Zn-ion storage capability in VO2 (B) cathode. DFT calculations further support that VO•• in VO2 (B) result in a narrower bandgap and lower Zn ion diffusion energy barrier compared to those of pristine VO2 (B). VO••-rich VO2 (B) achieves a specific capacity of 375 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and long-term cyclic stability with retained specific capacity of 175 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 over 2000 cycles (85% capacity retention), higher than that of VO2 (B) nanobelts (280 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and 120 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1, 65% capacity retention).

Abstract
Various cathode materials have been proposed for high-performance rechargeable batteries. Vanadyl phosphate is an important member of the polyanion cathode family. VOPO4 has seven known crystal polymorphs with tunneled or layered frameworks, which allow facile cation (de)intercalations. Two-electron transfer per formula unit can be realized by using VV /VIV and VIV /VIII redox couples. The electrochemical performance is closely related to the structures of VOPO4 and the types of inserted cations. This Review outlines the crystal structures of VOPO4 polymorphs and their lithiated phases. The research progress of vanadyl phosphate cathode materials for different energy storage systems, including lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, potassium-ion batteries, multivalent batteries, and supercapacitors, as well as the related mechanism investigations are summarized. It is hoped that this Review will help with future directions of using vanadyl phosphate materials for energy storage.

Abstract
A rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion battery (ZIB) is one of the attractive candidates for large-scale energy storage. Its further application relies on the exploitation of a high-capacity cathode and the understanding of an intrinsic energy storage mechanism. Herein, we report a novel layered K2V3O8 cathode material for the ZIB, adopting a strategy of charging first to extract part of K-ions from vanadate in initial few cycles, which creates more electrochemically active sites and lowers charge-transfer resistance of the ZIB system. As a result, a considerable specific capacity of 302.8 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, as well as a remarkable cycling stability (92.3% capacity retention at 4 A g-1 for 2000 cycles) and good rate capability, are achieved. Besides, the energy storage mechanism was studied by in situ X-ray diffraction, in situ Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. An irreversible K-ion deintercalation in the first charge process is proved. It is believed that this novel cathode material for the rechargeable aqueous ZIB and the optimizing strategy will shed light on developing next-generation large-scale energy storage devices.

Abstract
Despite the prevalence of lithium ion batteries in modern technology, the search for alternative electrochemical systems to complement the global battery portfolio is an ongoing effort. The search has resulted in numerous candidates, among which mildly acidic aqueous zinc ion batteries have recently garnered significant academic interest, mostly due to their inherent safety. As the anode is often fixed as zinc metal in these systems, most studies address the absence of a suitable cathode for reaction with zinc ions. This has led to aggressive research into viable intercalation cathodes, some of which have shown impressive results. However, many investigations often overlook the implications of the zinc metal anode, when in fact the anode is key to determining the energy density of the entire cell. In this regard, we aim to shed light on the importance of the zinc metal anode. This perspective offers a brief discussion of zinc electrochemistry in mildly acidic aqueous environments, along with an overview of recent efforts to improve the performance of zinc metal to extract key lessons for future research initiatives. Furthermore, we discuss the energy density ramifications of the zinc anode with respect to its weight and reversibility through simple calculations for numerous influential reports in the field. Finally, we offer some perspectives on the importance of optimizing zinc anodes as well as a future direction for developing high-performance aqueous zinc ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising for large scale energy storage and portable electronic applications due to their low cost, material abundance, high safety, acceptable energy density and environmental friendliness. This tutorial review presents an introduction to the fundamentals, challenges, recent advances and prospects related to ZIBs. Firstly, the intrinsic chemical properties, challenges and strategies of metallic zinc anodes are underscored. Then, the multiple types of cathode materials are classified and comparatively discussed in terms of their structural and electrochemical properties, issues and remedies. Specific attention is paid to the mechanistic understanding and structural transformation of cathode materials based on Zn ion-(de)intercalation chemistry. After that, the widely investigated electrolytes are elaborated by discussing their effect on Zn plating/stripping behaviours, reaction kinetics, electrode/electrolyte interface chemistries, and cell performances. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives are outlined for the development of ZIBs.

Abstract
The surface chemistry of solid electrolyte interphase is one of the critical factors that govern the cycling life of rechargeable batteries. However, this chemistry is less explored for zinc anodes, owing to their relatively high redox potential and limited choices in electrolyte. Here, we report the observation of a zinc fluoride-rich organic/inorganic hybrid solid electrolyte interphase on zinc anode, based on an acetamide-Zn(TFSI)2 eutectic electrolyte. A combination of experimental and modeling investigations reveals that the presence of anion-complexing zinc species with markedly lowered decomposition energies contributes to the in situ formation of an interphase. The as-protected anode enables reversible (~100% Coulombic efficiency) and dendrite-free zinc plating/stripping even at high areal capacities (>2.5 mAh cm‒2), endowed by the fast ion migration coupled with high mechanical strength of the protective interphase. With this interphasial design the assembled zinc batteries exhibit excellent cycling stability with negligible capacity loss at both low and high rates. Zinc chemistry is not favourable to the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase as a result of its high redox potential. In a break with the traditional wisdom, the present authors realise ZnF2-rich hybrid SEI on Zn anode via the modulation of cationic speciation in a eutectic electrolyte.

Abstract
The 2D materials of ultrathin nanosheets possess plentiful active sites, effectively enhancing the electrochemical kinetics of various electrode materials. However, 2D materials usually suffer from the aggregation issue due to the strong van der Waals force of the individual nanosheets, leading to irreversible stacking and decreasing capacity. In this work, we develop a universal method to in-situ space the nanosheet cathodes for the electrodes of ZIBs. As a proof of concept, the V2O5 nanosheets with in-situ AB spacer were obtained, which were used as the cathode of aqueous ZIBs. Owing to plentiful active sites usable for electrolyte/electrode interfaces of the spaced V2O5, the ion diffusion kinetics of the electrodes would be enhanced. In contrast with the stacked V2O5, the spaced V2O5 delivers an exceptional specific capacity (452 mAh g-1), superior rate capability, and stable cycle life (the capacity retention of 92% after 5000 cycles). Moreover, the resultant ZIBs assembled with spaced V2O5 show an impressive energy/power density (158 Wh kg-1 at 19.3 kW kg-1). These superior electrochemical properties make the method of in-situ adding AB spacer hold promising potential to obtain advanced nanosheet electrodes for energy storage systems.

Abstract
Insertion mechanisms of multivalent ions in transition metal oxide cathodes are poorly understood and subject to controversy and debate, especially when performed in aqueous electrolytes. To address this issue, we have here investigated the reversible reduction of nanostructured amorphous TiO2 electrodes by spectroelectrochemistry in mild aqueous electrolytes containing either a multivalent metal salt as AlCl3 or a weak organic acid as acetic acid. Our results show that the reversible charge storage in TiO2 is thermodynamically and kinetically indistinguishable when carried out in either an Al3+- or acetic acid-based electrolyte, both leading under similar conditions of pH and concentrations to an almost identical maximal charge storage of ∼115 mA h g-1. These observations are in agreement with a mechanism where the inserting/deinserting cation is the proton and not the multivalent metal cation. Analysis of the data also demonstrates that the proton source is the Brønsted weak acid present in the aqueous electrolyte, i.e. either the acetic acid or the aquo metal ion complex generated from solvation of Al3+ (i.e. [Al(H2O)6]3+). Such a proton-coupled charge storage mechanism is also found to occur with other multivalent metal ions such as Zn2+ and Mn2+, albeit with a lower efficiency than Al3+, an effect we have attributed to the lower acidity of [Zn(H2O)6]2+ and [Mn(H2O)6]2+. These findings are of fundamental importance because they shed new light on previous studies assuming reversible Al3+-insertion into metal oxides, and, more generally, they highlight the unsuspected proton donor role played by multivalent metal cations commonly involved in rechargeable aqueous batteries.

Abstract
VOPO4 ⋅x H2 O has been proposed as a cathode for rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries. However, it undergoes significant voltage decay in conventional Zn(OTf)2 electrolyte. Investigations show the decomposition of VOPO4 ⋅x H2 O into VOx in the electrolyte and voltage drops after losing the inductive effect from polyanions.PO4 3- was thus added to shift the decomposition equilibrium. A high concentration of cheap, highly soluble ZnCl2 salt in the electrolyte further prevents VOPO4 ⋅x H2 O dissolution. The cathode shows stable capacity and voltage retentions in 13 m ZnCl2 /0.8 m H3 PO4 aqueous electrolyte, in direct contrast to that in Zn(OTf)2 where the decomposition product VOx provides most electrochemical activity over cycling. Sequential H+ and Zn2+ intercalations into the structure are revealed, delivering a high capacity (170 mAh g-1 ). This work shows the potential issue with polyanion cathodes in zinc batteries and proposes an effective solution using fundamental chemical principles.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries are known for anion storage in the cathode coupled to cation incorporation in the anode. We flip the sequence of the anion/cation-storage chemistries of the anode and the cathode in dual-ion batteries (DIBs) by allowing the anode to take in anions and a cation-deficient cathode to host cations, thus operating as a reverse dual-ion battery (RDIB). The anion-insertion anode is a nanocomposite having ferrocene encapsulated inside a microporous carbon, and the cathode is a Zn-insertion Prussian blue, Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2. This unique battery configuration benefits from the usage of a 30 m ZnCl2 "water-in-salt" electrolyte. This electrolyte minimizes the dissolution of ferrocene; it raises the cation-insertion potential in the cathode, and it depresses the anion-insertion potential in the anode, thus widening the full cell's voltage by 0.35 V compared with a dilute ZnCl2 electrolyte. RDIBs provide a configuration-based solution to exploit the practicality of cation-deficient cathode materials in aqueous electrolytes.

Abstract
Rechargeable Mg batteries, using high capacity and dendrite-free Mg metal anodes, are promising energy storage devices for large scale smart grid due to low cost and high safety. However, the performance of Mg batteries is still plagued by the slow reaction kinetics of their cathode materials. Recent discoveries demonstrate that water in cathode can significantly enhance the Mg-ion diffusion in cathode by an unknown mechanism. Here, we propose the water-activated layered-structure VOPO4 as a novel cathode material and examine the impact of water in electrode or organic electrolyte on the thermodynamics and kinetics of Mg-ion intercalation/deintercalation in cathodes. Electrochemical measurements verify that water in both VOPO4 lattice and organic electrolyte can largely activate VOPO4 cathode. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrates that the water in the electrolyte will equilibrate with the structural water in VOPO4 lattice, and the water activity in the electrolyte alerts the mechanism and kinetics for electrochemical Mg-ion intercalation in VOPO4. Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that water reduces both the solid-state diffusion barrier in the VOPO4 electrode and the desolvation penalty at the interface. To achieve fast reaction kinetics, the water activity in the electrolyte should be larger than 10-2. The proposed activation mechanism provides guidance for screening and designing novel chemistry for high performance multivalent-ion batteries.
