Abstract
Manganese-based oxides are be regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs). A major restriction of manganese-based oxides in practical applications is their unsatisfied structural stability due to the irreversible manganese dissolution. Additionally, the poor electrical conductivity also limits the rate capability. Herein, the sandwich-like MXene@Mn3O4@PPy hollow microspheres are constructed via self-sacrificial template and surface coating method to improve the cycling life of AZIBs. Benefiting from the unique sandwich-like hollow structure and the surface coating of PPy, the MXene@Mn3O4@PPy cathode possesses high electronic/ionic conductivity and satisfied structural stability. The sandwich-like MXene@Mn3O4@PPy hollow microspheres deliver excellent electrochemical performance, including an impressive rate capability and ultra-long cycling life with a capacity of 120 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 9000 cycles. In addition, the systematic ex situ XRD and HRTEM characterizations verify the highly reversible Zn2+ and H+ insertion/desertion in the sandwich-like MXene@Mn3O4@PPy hollow microspheres. This work combines hollow structure design and surface coating method to provide an effective strategy for improving the structural stability of manganese-based oxides in AZIBs.

Abstract
Manganese oxides have been considered as the most competitive cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) on account of their inherent safety, high operating voltage, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. Unfortunately, the manganese dissolution, inherently poor electronic conductivity, and the sluggish reaction kinetics of commercial manganese-based oxides severely hinder their practical applications. To address the above issues, we creatively developed hierarchical porous Y2O3-MnOx/C nanorods (named OV-YMO/C) with unique heterostructures and abundant oxygen vacancies via a facile MOF-assisted synthetic process and employed as the advanced cathode. Owing to the well-constructed porous structure, larger surface areas, abundant oxygen vacancies, and strong synergetic coupling effect at the heterogeneous interface, the as-obtained OV-YMO/C cathode exhibited a fascinating discharge capacity of 389.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. Simultaneously, it demonstrated remarkable rate performance (233 mAh g-1 at 4.0 A g-1) and cycling durability (90.6% capacity retention over 3000 cycles at 4.0 A g-1). The fabricated Zn//OV-YMO/C pouch cell could deliver superior flexibility and electrochemical stability under extreme bending conditions. Furthermore, the electrochemical reaction mechanism was comprehensively explored by kinetic analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The synergistic strategy by subtly combining the MOF-assisted approach, heterojunction engineering, and oxygen defects engineering provides valuable insights into the construction of cathode materials for high-rate and ultrastable aqueous ZIBs.

Abstract
Manganese-based cathodes are competitive candidates for state-of-the-art aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) because of their easy preparation method, sufficient nature reserve, and environmental friendliness. However, their poor cycle stability and low rate performance have prevented them from practical applications. In this study, Mn3O4 nanoparticles were formed in situ on the surface and between the interlayers of Ti3C2Tx MXene, which was pretreated by the intercalation of K+ ions. Ti3C2Tx MXene not only provides abundant active sites and high conductivity but also hinders the structural damage of Mn3O4 during charging and discharging. Benefiting from the well-designed K-Ti3C2@Mn3O4 structure, the battery equipped with the K-Ti3C2@Mn3O4 cathode achieved a maximum specific capacity of 312 mAh/g at a current density of 0.3 A/g and carried a specific capacity of approximately 120 mAh/g at a current density of 1 A/g, which remained stable for approximately 500 cycles. The performance surpasses that of most reported Mn3O4-based cathodes. This study pioneers a new approach for building better cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Since the discovery in 2000, conversion-type materials have emerged as a promising negative-electrode candidate for next-generation batteries with high capacity and tunable voltage, limited by low reversibility and severe voltage hysteresis. Heterogeneous construction stands out as a cost-effective and efficient approach to reducing reaction barriers and enhancing energy density. However, the second term introduced by conventional heterostructure inevitably complicates the electrochemical analysis and poses great challenges to harvesting systematic insights and theoretical guidance. A model cell is designed and established herein for the conversion reactions between Na and TMSA-SnO2, where TMSA-SnO2 represents single atom modification of eight different 3d transition elements (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu or Zn). Such a model unit fundamentally eliminates the interference from the second phase and thus enables independent exploration of activation manifestations of the heterogeneous architecture. For the first time, a thermodynamically dependent catalytic effect is proposed and verified through statistical data analysis. The mechanism behind the unveiled catalytic effect is further elucidated by which the active d orbitals of transition metals weaken the surface covalent bonds and lower the reaction barriers. This research provides both theoretical insights and practical demonstrations of the advanced heterogeneous electrodes.

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
Component modulation endows Mn-based electrodes with prominent energy storage properties due to their adjustable crystal structure characteristics. Herein, ZnMn2(PO4)2·nH2O (ZMP·nH2O) was obtained by a hydration reaction from ZnMn2(PO4)2 (ZMP) during an electrode-aging evolution. Benefiting from the introduction of lattice H2O molecules into the ZMP structure, the ion transmission path has been expanded along with the extended d-spacing, which will further facilitate the ZMP → ZMP·nH2O phase evolution and electrochemical reaction kinetics. Meanwhile, the hydrogen bond can be generated between H2O and O in PO43-, which strengthens the structure stability of ZMP·nH2O and lowers the conversion barrier from ZMP to ZMP·4H2O during the Zn2+ uptake/removal process. Thereof, ZMP·nH2O delivers enhanced electrochemical reaction kinetics with robust structure tolerance (106.52 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 over 620 cycles). This high-energy aqueous Zn||ZMP·nH2O battery provides a facile strategy for engineering and exploration of high-performance ZIBs to realize the practical application of Mn-based cathodes.

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
Magnesium-lithium hybrid batteries (MLHBs) using a dual-ion electrolyte and safe Mg anode have promising potential for high-performance energy storage. Here, we develop an MLHB constructed of a hollow multi-layered NiS/Co3S4/carbon cathode and an all-phenyl-complex/lithium chloride (APC-LiCl) electrolyte. The hollow multi-layered structure and carbon matrix accommodate volumetric expansion and facilitate electrolyte penetration. The APC-LiCl electrolyte displays a stable electrochemical window. The MLHB shows a high specific capacity of 398 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g-1, and a stable capacity at 1.0 A g-1 after cycling 500 times. Moreover, stable rate performance and temperature tolerance are achievable. These findings would enable this design to be promising for developing other hybrid battery systems.

Abstract
The synergistic effect between multicomponent electrode materials often makes them have better lithium storage performance than single-component electrode materials. Therefore, to enhance surface reaction kinetics and encourage electron transfer, using multicomponent anode materials is a useful tactic for achieving high lithium-ion battery performance. In this article, ZnS/ZnO composites were synthesized by solvothermal sulfidation and calcination, with the utilization of metal-organic frameworks acting as sacrificial templates. From the point of material design, both ZnS and ZnO have high theoretical specific capacities, and the synergistic effect of ZnS and ZnO can promote charge transport. From the perspective of electrode engineering, the loose porous carbon skeleton that results from the calcination of metal-organic frameworks can enhance composite material conductivity as well as full electrolyte penetration and the area of contact between the electrolyte and active material, all of which are beneficial to enhancing lithium storage performance. As expected, ZnS/ZnO anode materials displayed remarkably high specific capacities and outstanding performance at different rates. Combining material design and electrode engineering, this paper provides another idea for preparing anode materials with excellent lithium storage properties.

Insights into the cycling stability of manganese-based zinc-ion batteries: from energy storage mechanisms to capacity fluctuation and optimization strategies. Chem Sci 2024; 15:7441-7473. [PMID: 38784725 PMCID: PMC11110161 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc00510d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
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
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) cause severe environmental pollution and are potentially toxic to humans who have no defense against exposure. Catalytic oxidation of these compounds has thus become an interesting research topic. In this study, microcrystalline CeMnO3 catalysts were prepared by a precipitant-concentration-induced strategy and evaluated for the catalytic oxidation of toluene/benzene. The effect of crystal size on catalytic performance was confirmed by XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption, XPS, Raman, H2-TPR, and TPSR. The CeMnO3 catalyst with more Mn3+-Ov-Ce4+ active sites exhibited enhanced VOCs catalytic oxidation performance, lowest active energy, and highest turnover frequency, which was attributed to its larger surface area, lower crystal size, higher low-temperature reducibility, and presence of more oxygen defects. In-situ FTIR results suggested more oxygen vacancies can profoundly promote the conversion of benzoate to maleate species, the rate-determining step of toluene oxidation. The work provides a convenient and efficient strategy to prepare single-metal or multi-metal oxide catalysts with smaller crystal sizes for VOC oxidation or other oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show wide application as the cathode of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) in the future owning to their high porosity, diverse structures, abundant species, and controllable morphology. However, the low energy density and poor cycling stability hinder the feasibility in practical application. Herein, an innovative strategy of organic/inorganic double electroactive sites is proposed and demonstrated to obtain extra capacity and enhance the energy density in a manganese-based metal-organic framework (Mn-MOF-74). Simultaneously, its energy storage mechanism is systematically investigated. Moreover, profiting from the coordination effect, the Mn-MOF-74 features with stable structure in ZnSO4 electrolyte. Therefore, the Zn/Mn-MOF-74 batteries exhibit a high energy density and superior cycling stability. This work aids in the future development of MOFs in AZIBs.

Abstract
Electrode materials optimization is one of the keys to improving the energy storage characteristics of secondary batteries. Herein, a VO2@carbon@SnS2 composite is developed by coating SnS2 quantum dots (QDs) on lamellar VO2@carbon nanorods, yielding a high-performance aluminum-ion battery cathode. SnS2 QDs embedded in VO2@carbon accelerate electron transport, while the in situ coating of carbon improves cycling stability. When cycling at 0.5 A g-1, capacity is maintained at 157.6 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles. Even at 1.0 A g-1, the cathode can be stably cycled 1000 times. Capacity remains at 176.3 mA h g-1 and coulombic efficiency is 99.1% at temperatures below -10 °C after 100 cycles. These findings provide new ideas for the development of QD-modified composites for application in secondary batteries.

Abstract
The development of high-performing cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) is highly important for the future large-scale energy storage. Owing to the distinctive framework structure, diversity of valences, and high electrochemical activity, spinel materials have been widely investigated and used for aqueous ZIBs. However, the stubborn issues of low electrical conductivity and sluggish kinetics plague their smooth applications in aqueous ZIBs, which stimulates the development of effective strategies to address these issues. This review highlights the recent advances of spinel-based cathode materials that include the configuration of aqueous ZIBs and corresponding reaction mechanisms. Subsequently, the classifications of spinel materials and their properties are also discussed. Then, the review mainly summarizes the effective strategies for elevating their electrochemical performance, including their morphology and structure design, defect engineering, heteroatom doping, and coupling with a conductive support. In the final section, several sound prospects in this fervent field are also proposed for future research and applications.

Abstract
The precise design and development of high-performing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the production of industrial hydrogen gas through water electrolysis has been a widely studied topic. A profound understanding of the nature of electrocatalytic processes reveals that Ni-based catalysts are highly active toward OER that can stably operate at a high current density for a long period of time. Given the current gap between research and applications in industrial water electrolysis, we have completed a systematic review by constructively discussing the recent progress of Ni-based catalysts for electrocatalytic OER at a large current density, with special focus on the morphology and composition regulation of Ni-based electrocatalysts for achieving extraordinary OER performance. This review will facilitate future research toward rationally designing next-generation OER electrocatalysts that can meet industrial demands, thereby promoting new sustainable solutions for energy shortage and environment issues.

Abstract
It is a big challenge to retain the water and thus reduce the charge impedance for solid electrolytes used in flexible and wearable zinc ion batteries. Here, we propose novel phytic acid (PA) cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels as high-performanced solid electrolytes strengthened by the Hofmeister effect. In this approach, freeze-thawing followed by a salting-out procedure via anions to induce the Hofmeister effect can greatly improve the tensile strain and flexibility of the hydrogels. The PA addition dramatically enhances the ionic conductivity and increases the affinity between the electrolyte and zinc plate. Consequently, the PVA/PA hydrogels exhibit remarkable electrochemical performances with stable full-cell cycling in zinc ion storage and capability in inhibiting Zn dendrite growth.

Abstract
MnO2 cathode materials have presented challenges due to their poor conductivity, unstable structure, and sluggish diffusion kinetics for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this study, a nanostructured MnOx cathode material was synthesized using an acid etching method, Which introduced abundant Mn(III) sites, resulting in the formation of numerous oxygen vacancies. Comprehensive characterizations revealed that these oxygen vacancies facilitated the reversible adsorption/desorption of Zn2+ ions and promoted efficient electron transfer. In addition, the designed mesoporous structure offered ample active sites and shortened the diffusion path for Zn2+ and H+ ions. Consequently, the nanosized MnOx cathode exhibited enhanced reaction kinetics, achieving a considerable reversible specific capacity of 388.7 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g and superior durability with 72.0% capacity retention over 2000 cycles at 3.0 A/g. The material delivered a maximum energy density of 639.7 Wh kg-1 at 159.94 W kg-1. Furthermore, a systematic analysis of the zinc storage mechanism was performed. This work demonstrates that engineering oxygen vacancies with nanostructure regulation provides valuable insights into optimizing MnO2 cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are promising energy storage devices due to their low cost, good ionic conductivity, and high safety. Conductive polyaniline is a promising cathode because of its redox activity, but because the neutral electrolyte protonates only weakly, it displays limited electrochemical activity. A polyaniline cathode is developed with proton self-doping from manganese metal-organic frameworks (Mn-MOFs) that alleviates the deprotonation and electrochemical activity concerns arising during the charge/discharge process. The MOFs carboxyl group provides protons to prevent deprotonation and allows the polyaniline to reach a high zinc storage redox activity. The proton self-doped polyaniline cathode has a superior specific capacity (273 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 ), a high rate property (154 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 ), and excellent cyclability retention (87% over 4000 cycles at 15 A g-1 ). This research provides fresh insight into the development of innovative polymers as cathode materials for high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Two imine-rich polymers (planar P3Q and linear TDB) were synthesized through a facile method. P3Q demonstrates an enlarged π-conjugated structure, increasing the coordination and conversion of Zn2+. As a result, for aqueous zinc-ion batteries, P3Q exhibits more excellent electrochemical performance than TDB with a discharge capacity of 226 mA h g-1 at 0.3 A g-1 and relatively high capacity retention of 70% after 100 cycles at 0.5 A g-1. The redox energy storage mechanism is also explored by ex situ characterization and density functional theory calculation.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have become one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their high safety and low cost. However, the development of stable cathodes with fast kinetics and high energy density is the key to achieving large-scale application of AZIBs. In this work, W-doped VO2 (W-VO2) is developed by a one-step hydrothermal method. Benefiting from the pre-insertion of W6+ and the introduction of the W-O bond, accomplishing an expanded lattice spacing and a stable structure, both improved kinetics and long cycle life are achieved. The W-VO2 delivers a specific capacity of 340.2 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, an excellent high-rate capability with a discharge capacity of 186.9 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1, and long-term cycling stability with a capacity retention of 76.5% after 2000 cycles. The electrochemical performance of the W-VO2 has been greatly improved, compared with the pure VO2. The W doping strategy proposed here also presents an encouraging pathway for developing other high-energy and stable cathodes.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a polyfactorial process associated with alterations in metabolic pathways. A high-performance screening tool for EOC is in high demand to improve prognostic outcome but is still missing. Here, a concave octahedron Mn2 O3 /(Co,Mn)(Co,Mn)2 O4 (MO/CMO) composite with a heterojunction, rough surface, hollow interior, and sharp corners is developed to record metabolic patterns of ovarian tumors by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). The MO/CMO composites with multiple physical effects induce enhanced light absorption, preferred charge transfer, increased photothermal conversion, and selective trapping of small molecules. The MO/CMO shows ≈2-5-fold signal enhancement compared to mono- or dual-enhancement counterparts, and ≈10-48-fold compared to the commercialized products. Subsequently, serum metabolic fingerprints of ovarian tumors are revealed by MO/CMO-assisted LDI-MS, achieving high reproducibility of direct serum detection without treatment. Furthermore, machine learning of the metabolic fingerprints distinguishes malignant ovarian tumors from benign controls with the area under the curve value of 0.987. Finally, seven metabolites associated with the progression of ovarian tumors are screened as potential biomarkers. The approach guides the future depiction of the state-of-the-art matrix for intensive MS detection and accelerates the growth of nanomaterials-based platforms toward precision diagnosis scenarios.

Abstract
Bimetallic spinel transition metal oxides play a major part in actualizing eco-friendly electrochemical energy storage systems (ESSs). However, structural precariousness and low electrochemical capacitance restrict their actual implementation in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). To address these demerits, the sacrificial template approach has been considered as a prospective way to strengthen electrochemical stability and rate performance. Herein, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived XMn2O4-BDC (H2BDC = 1,4-dicarboxybenzene, X = Zn, Co, Cu, Ni) are prepared by a hydrothermal approach in order to discover the effects of various metal cations on the electrochemical performance. Among them, ZnMn2O4-BDC displays best electrochemical properties (1321.5 mAh g-1 at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 after 300 cycles) and high efficiency with accelerated Li+ diffusivity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm the ZnMn2O4 possesses the weakest adsorption energy on Li+ with a minimized value of -0.92 eV. In comparison with other XMn2O4 through traditional fabrication method, MOF-derived XMn2O4-BDC possesses a higher number of Li+ transport channels and better electric conductivity. This tactic provides a feasible and effective method for preparing bimetallic transition metal oxides and enhances energy storage applications.

Abstract
As an emerging two-dimensional material, MXenes exhibit enormous potentials in the fields of energy storage and conversion, due to their superior conductivity, effective surface chemistry, accordion-like layered structure, and numerous ordered nanochannels. However, interlayer accumulation and chemical sluggishness of structural elements have hampered the demonstration of the superiorities of MXenes. By metal preintercalation and in situ electrochemical oxidization strategies on V2 CTx , MXene has enlarged its interplanar spacing and excited the outermost vanadium atoms to achieve frequent transfer and high storage capacity of Zn ions in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Benefiting from the synergistic effects of these strategies, the resulting VOx /Mn-V2 C electrode exhibits the high capacity of 530 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , together with a remarkable energy density of 415 W h kg-1 and a power density of 5500 W kg-1 . Impressively, the electrode delivers excellent cycling stability with Coulombic efficiency of nearly 100% in 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1 . The satisfactory electrochemical performances bear comparison with those in reported vanadium-based and MXene-based aqueous ZIBs. This work provides a new methodology for safe preparation of outstanding vanadium-based electrodes and extends the applications of MXenes in the energy storage field.

Abstract
Manganese-based oxides are common cathode materials for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) because of their great capacity and high working voltage. However, the sharp decline of capacity caused by the dissolution of manganese-based cathode materials and the low-rate performance restrict their development. To address these problems, unique core-shell structured Mn2O3@ZnMn2O4/C hollow microspheres are reported as an ideal cathode material for AZIBs. Benefiting from the hollow structure, the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-derived carbon and ZnMn2O4. Its application in AZIBs as the cathode demonstrates its satisfactory rate performance, high cycle stability, and excellent reversibility. Its high reversible capacity is remarkable, which reaches its maximum of 289.9 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1 and maintains a capacity of 203.5 mA h g-1 after cycling for 700 times at 1000 mA g-1. These excellent performances indicate that this material is a potential cathode material of AZIBs.

Abstract
The implementation of electrochemical water splitting demands the development and application of electrocatalysts to overcome sluggish reaction kinetics of hydrogen/oxygen evolution reaction (HER/OER). Hollow nanostructures, particularly for hollow heterostructured nanomaterials can provide multiple solutions to accelerate the HER/OER kinetics owing to their advantageous merit. Herein, the recent advances of hollow heterostructured nanocatalysts and their excellent performance for water splitting are systematically summarized. Starting by illustrating the intrinsically advantageous features of hollow heterostructures, achievements in engineering hollow heterostructured electrocatalysts are also highlighted with the focus on structural design, interfacial engineering, composition regulation, and catalytic evaluation. Finally, some perspective insights and future challenges of hollow heterostructured nanocatalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting are also discussed.

Abstract
Advanced aqueous batteries are promising for next generation flexible devices owing to the high safety, yet still requiring better cycling stability and high capacities in wide temperature range. Herein, a polymeric acid hydrogel electrolyte (PAGE) with 3 M Zn(ClO4 )2 was fabricated for high performance Zn/polyaniline (PANI) batteries. With PAGE, even at -35 °C the Zn/Zn symmetrical battery can keep stable for more than 1 500 h under 2 mA cm-2 , and the Zn/PANI battery can provide ultra-high stable specific capacity of 79.6 mAh g-1 for more than 70 000 cycles at 15 A g-1 . This can be mainly ascribed to the -SO3 - H+ function group in PAGE. It can generate constant protons and guide the (002) plane formation to accelerate the PANI redox reaction kinetics, increase the specific capacity, and suppress the side reaction and dendrites. This proton-supplying strategy by polymeric acid hydrogel may further propel the development of high performance aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Metal-ion hybrid capacitors (MIHCs) hold particular promise for next-generation energy storage technologies, which bridge the gap between the high energy density of conventional batteries and the high power density and long lifespan of supercapacitors (SCs). However, the achieved electrochemical performance of available MIHCs is still far from practical requirements. This is primarily attributed to the mismatch in capacity and reaction kinetics between the cathode and anode. In this regard, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives offer great opportunities for high-performance MIHCs due to their high specific surface area, high porosity, topological diversity, and designable functional sites. In this review, instead of simply enumerating, we critically summarize the recent progress of MOFs and their derivatives in MIHCs (Li, Na, K, and Zn), while emphasizing the relationship between the structure/composition and electrochemical performance. In addition, existing issues and some representative design strategies are highlighted to inspire breaking through existing limitations. Finally, a brief conclusion and outlook are presented, along with current challenges and future opportunities for MOFs and their derivatives in MIHCs.

Abstract
Mn-based cathodes have been widely explored for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), by virtue of their high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, Mn-based cathodes suffer from poor rate capability and cycling performance. Researchers have presented various approaches to address these issues. Therefore, these endeavors scattered in various directions (e. g., designing electrode structures, defect engineering and optimizing electrolytes) are necessary to be connected through a systematic review. Hence, we comprehensively overview Mn-based cathode materials for ZIBs from the aspects of phase compositions, electrochemical behaviors and energy storage mechanisms, and try to build internal relations between these factors. Modification strategies of Mn-based cathodes are then introduced. Furthermore, this review also provides some new perspectives on future efforts toward high-energy and long-life Mn-based cathodes for ZIBs.

Abstract
Highly active and stable cathodes are critical for aqueous Zn-organic batteries with high capacity, fast redox kinetics, and long life. We herein report para-, meta-, and ortho-dinitrobenzene (p-, m-, and o-DB) containing two successive two-electron processes, as cathode materials to boost the battery performance. Theoretical and experimental studies reveal that nitro constitutional isomerism is key to zincophilic activity and redox kinetics. p-DB hosted in carbon nanoflower harvests a high capacity of 402 mAh g-1 and a superior stability up to 25 000 cycles at 5 A g-1 , giving a Zn-organic battery with a high energy density of 230 Wh kg-1 . An anionic co-insertion charge storage mechanism is proposed, entailing a two-step (de)coordination of Zn(CF3 SO3 )+ with nitro oxygen. Besides, dinitrobenzene can be electrochemically optimized by side group regulation via implanting electron-withdrawing motifs. This work opens a new window to design multielectron nitroaromatics for Zn-organic batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous alkaline rechargeable nickel-zinc (Ni-Zn) batteries possess great potential for large-scale energy storage systems because of their high output voltage, cheap cost, and intrinsic safety. However, the practical applicability of Ni-Zn batteries has been limited by traditional Ni-based cathodes with low capacity and poor cycle stability. Rational design of electrode structure and composition is highly desired but still significantly challenging. Herein, uniform self-supported hierarchical heterostructure composites interacting NiCo-layered double hydroxide with 1D nickel sulfides heteronanowire rooted on Ni foam (NF\Ni3 S2 /NiS@NiCo-LDH) are successfully developed by a hydrothermal sulfurization-electrodeposition process. The self-supported 3D hierarchical heterostructured composites nanoarray provides abundant reactive sites, rapid ion diffusion channels, and fast electron transfer routes, as well as strong structural stability. More significantly, the strong interfacial charge transfer between Ni3 S2 /NiS heteronanowire and NiCo-LDH effectively modifies the electronic structure of the composites and thereby improving the reaction kinetics. Consequently, the NF\Ni3 S2 /NiS@NiCo-LDH electrode presents a superior capacity of 434.5 mAh g-1 (1.73 mAh cm-2 ) at 3 mA cm-2 . In addition, the fabricated NF\Ni3 S2 /NiS@NiCo-LDH//Zn battery can offer a maximal energy density and power density as large as 556.3 Wh kg-1 and 26.3 kW kg-1 , respectively, as well as an exceptional cycling performance.

Abstract
Pyrolysis is one of the most widely utilized protocols for the preparation of nanoconfined metal species for heterogeneous catalysis, but it still suffers from the uncontrollable composition evolution process with undesired metal sintering and porous structure collapse. Herein, a novel and versatile molten salt-assisted pyrolysis strategy was demonstrated for the preparation of ultrasmall transition-metal nanoparticles embedded in hollow hierarchical carbon skeletons. The preparation only involved the fabrication of metal-organic framework templates and subsequent pyrolysis with the addition of KCl-KBr molten salt, which played a crucial role in pore size extending and metal sintering inhibiting. Benefitting from the encapsulation effect, the as-synthesized Cu@HHC materials exhibited remarkable catalytic performance and recycling stability in the selective oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-diformylfuran under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
The practical application of Zn-metal anodes (ZMAs) is mainly impeded by the limited lifespan and low Coulombic efficiency (CE) resulting from the Zn dendrite growth and side reactions. Herein, a 3D multifunctional host consisting of N-doped carbon fibers embedded with Cu nanoboxes (denoted as Cu NBs@NCFs) is rationally designed and developed for stable ZMAs. The 3D macroporous configuration and hollow structure can lower the local current density and alleviate the large volume change during the repeated cycling processes. Furthermore, zincophilic Cu and in-situ-formed Cu-Zn alloy can act as homogeneous nucleation sites to minimize the Zn nucleation overpotential, further guiding uniform and dense Zn deposition. As a result, this Cu NBs@NCFs host exhibits high CE of Zn plating/stripping for 1000 cycles. The Cu NBs@NCFs-Zn electrode shows low voltage hysteresis and prolonged cycling life (450 h) with dendrite-free behaviors. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a Zn-ion full cell is fabricated based on this Cu NBs@NCFs-Zn anode, which demonstrates decent rate capability and improved cycling performance.

Abstract
Among the new energy storage devices, aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) have become the current research hot spot with significant advantages of low cost, high safety, and environmental protection. However, the cycle stability of cathode materials is unsatisfactory, which leads to great obstacles in the practical application of AZIBs. In recent years, a large number of studies have been carried out systematically and deeply around the optimization strategy of cathode material stability of AZIBs. In this review, the factors of cyclic stability attenuation of cathode materials and the strategies of optimizing the stability of cathode materials for AZIBs by vacancy, doping, object modification, and combination engineering were summarized. In addition, the mechanism and applicable material system of relevant optimization strategies were put forward, and finally, the future research direction was proposed in this article.
