Insight into Anionic Discrepancies in Bipolar Poly(Thionine) Organic Cathodes for Aqueous Zinc Ion Batteries. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2402767. [PMID: 39086056 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202402767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Electroactive organic electrode materials exhibit remarkable potential in aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their abundant availability, customizable structures, sustainability, and high reversibility. However, the research on AZIBs has predominantly concentrated on unraveling the storage mechanism of zinc cations, often neglecting the significance of anions in this regard. Herein, bipolar poly(thionine) is synthesized by a simple and efficient polymerization reaction, and the kinetics of different anions are investigated using poly(thionine) as the cathode of AZIBs. Notably, poly(thionine) is a bipolar organic polymer electrode material and exhibits enhanced stability in aqueous solutions compared to thionine monomers. Kinetic analysis reveals that ClO4 - exhibits the fastest kinetics among SO4 2-, Cl-, and OTF-, demonstrating excellent rate performance (109 mAh g-1 @ 0.5 A g-1 and 92 mAh g-1 @ 20 A g-1). Mechanism studies reveal that the poly(thionine) cathode facilitates the co-storage of both anions and cations in Zn(ClO4)2. Furthermore, the lower electrostatic potential of ClO4 - influences the strength of hydrogen bonding with water molecules, thereby enhancing the overall kinetics in aqueous electrolytes. This work provides an effective strategy for synthesizing high-quality organic materials and offers new insights into the kinetic behavior of anions in AZIBs.

Abstract
Distinct from "rocking-chair" lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the unique anionic intercalation chemistry on the cathode side of dual-ion batteries (DIBs) endows them with intrinsic advantages of low cost, high voltage, and eco-friendly, which is attracting widespread attention, and is expected to achieve the next generation of large-scale energy storage applications. Although the electrochemical reactions on the anode side of DIBs are similar to that of LIBs, in fact, to match the rapid insertion kinetics of anions on the cathode side and consider the compatibility with electrolyte system which also serves as an active material, the anode materials play a very important role, and there is an urgent demand for rational structural design and performance optimization. A review and summarization of previous studies will facilitate the exploration and optimization of DIBs in the future. Here, we summarize the development process and working mechanism of DIBs and exhaustively categorize the latest research of DIBs anode materials and their applications in different battery systems. Moreover, the structural design, reaction mechanism and electrochemical performance of anode materials are briefly discussed. Finally, the fundamental challenges, potential strategies and perspectives are also put forward. It is hoped that this review could shed some light for researchers to explore more superior anode materials and advanced systems to further promote the development of DIBs.

Abstract
Zinc-organic batteries (ZOBs) are receiving widespread attention as up-and-coming energy-storage systems due to their sustainability, operational safety and low cost. Charge carrier is one of the critical factors affecting the redox kinetics and electrochemical performances of ZOBs. Compared with conventional large-sized and sluggish Zn2+ storage, non-metallic charge carriers with small hydrated size and light weight show accelerated interfacial dehydration and fast reaction kinetics, enabling superior electrochemical metrics for ZOBs. Thus, it is valuable and ongoing works to build better ZOBs with non-metallic ion storage. In this review, versatile non-metallic cationic (H+, NH4 +) and anionic (Cl-, OH-, CF3SO3 -, SO4 2-) charge carriers of ZOBs are first categorized with a brief comparison of their respective physicochemical properties and chemical interactions with redox-active organic materials. Furthermore, this work highlights the implementation effectiveness of non-metallic ions in ZOBs, giving insights into the impact of ion types on the metrics (capacity, rate capability, operation voltage, and cycle life) of organic cathodes. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of non-metal-ion-based ZOBs are outlined to guild the future development of next-generation energy communities.

Abstract
Bipolar organics fuse the merits of n/p-type redox reactions for better Zn-organic batteries (ZOBs), but face the capacity plafond due to low density of active units and single-electron reactions. Here we report multielectron redox-bipolar tetranitroporphyrin (TNP) with quadruple two-electron-accepting n-type nitro motifs and dual-electron-donating p-type amine moieties towards high-capacity-voltage ZOBs. TNP cathode initiates high-kinetics, hybrid anion-cation 10e- charge storage involving four nitro sites coordinating with Zn2+ ions at low potential and two amine species coupling with SO4 2- ions at high potential. Consequently, Zn||TNP battery harvests high capacity (338 mAh g-1), boosted average voltage (1.08 V), and outstanding energy density (365 Wh kg-1 TNP). Moreover, the extended π-conjugated TNP macrocycle achieves anti-dissolution in electrolytes, prolonging the battery life to 50,000 cycles at 10 A g-1 with 71.6 % capacity retention. This work expands the chemical landscape of multielectron redox-bipolar organics for state-of-the-art ZOBs.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202316835. [PMID: 38010854 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202316835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
Compared with Zn2+ storage, non-metallic charge carrier with small hydrated size and light weight shows fast dehydration and diffusion kinetics for Zn-organic batteries. Here we first report NH4 + /H+ co-storage in self-assembled organic superstructures (OSs) by intermolecular interactions of p-benzoquinone (BQ) and 2, 6-diaminoanthraquinone (DQ) polymer through H-bonding and π-π stacking. BQ-DQ OSs exhibit exposed quadruple-active carbonyl motifs and super electron delocalization routes, which are redox-exclusively coupled with high-kinetics NH4 + /H+ but exclude sluggish and rigid Zn2+ ions. A unique 4e- NH4 + /H+ co-coordination mechanism is unravelled, giving BQ-DQ cathode high capacity (299 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 ), large-current tolerance (100 A g-1 ) and ultralong life (50,000 cycles). This strategy further boosts the capacity to 358 mAh g-1 by modulating redox-active building units, giving new insights into ultra-fast and stable NH4 + /H+ storage in organic materials for better Zn batteries.
