Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices due to their outstanding safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. However, the practical application of zinc metal anodes (ZMAs) faces significant challenges, such as dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, corrosion, and passivation. Fortunately, the rapid rise of nanomaterials has inspired solutions for addressing these issues associated with ZMAs. Nanomaterials with unique structural features and multifunctionality can be employed to modify ZMAs, effectively enhancing their interfacial stability and cycling reversibility. Herein, an overview of the failure mechanisms of ZMAs is presented, and the latest research progress of nanomaterials in protecting ZMAs is comprehensively summarized, including electrode structures, interfacial layers, electrolytes, and separators. Finally, a brief summary and optimistic perspective are given on the development of nanomaterials for ZMAs. This review provides a valuable reference for the rational design of efficient ZMAs and the promotion of large-scale application of AZIBs.

Improvement of surface stability of Zn anode by a cost-effective ErCl 3 additive for realizing high-performance aqueous zinc-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 662:604-613.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous-zinc ion batteries (AZIB) have notable benefits in terms of high safety and low cost. Nevertheless, the challenges, such as dendrite growth, zinc anode corrosion, and hydrogen evolution reaction, impede its practical implementation. Hence, this study proposes the introduction of an economical ErCl3 electrolyte additive to stabilize the Zn anode surface and address the aforementioned issues. The introduced Er3+ will cover the raised zinc dendrite surface and weaken the "tip effect" on the surface of the zinc anode via the "electrostatic shielding" effect. Simultaneously, the introduced Cl- can reduce the polarization of the zinc anode. Due to the synergistic effect of Er3+ and Cl-, the zinc anode corrosion, dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution have been efficiently inhibited. As a result, the Zn||Zn-symmetric battery using ErCl3 additive can stably cycle for 1100 h at 1 mA cm-2, 1 mAh cm-2, and exhibit a high average coulomb efficiency (99.2 %). Meanwhile, Zn||MnO2 full battery based on ErCl3-added electrolyte also demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 157.1 mAh/g after 500 cycles. Obviously, the capacity decay rate of the full battery is also improved, only 0.113 % per cycle. This study offers a straightforward and economically efficient method for stabilizing the zinc anode and realizing high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
With the increasing popularity of flexible and wearable electronic devices, the demand for power supplies that can be easily bent or worn is also rapidly growing. However, traditional lithium ion batteries are difficult to adapt to complex wearable devices because of their unsatisfactory flexibility and thickness as well as safety issues. Zinc-ion batteries have several advantages, including low redox potential, high theoretical capacity, high safety, and abundant reserves. These features make flexible zinc-ion batteries (FZIBs) an ideal wearable energy storage device candidate. The electrochemical performance and mechanical deformability of FZIBs were pivotally determined based on the properties of their electrode and electrolyte. Herein, we summarize some recent advances from 2015 to 2023 in the design and preparation of various electrode and electrolyte materials for FZIBs with controllable morphology and structure, excellent mechanical property, and enhanced electrochemical performance. Moreover, efforts to explore the potential practical applications of FZIBs have also been considered. Finally, we present and discuss current challenges and opportunities for the development of high-performance FZIBs.

Abstract
MnO2 has the advantages of low cost and abundant resources, so it is considered to be an important electrode material in zinc ion batteries. However, its practical application is still challenged by easy collapse and capacity loss. In this paper, a stable single crystal β-MnO2 nanorod cathode material was prepared. When used as ZIBs cathode material, single crystal β-MnO2 has high ionic diffusion kinetics and calculability. In this paper, we prepared single-crystal MnO2 through hydrothermal nanotechnology. By leveraging the benefits of the single-crystal structure, we optimized the structural stability, ion conductivity, surface reactions, and phase control of the cathode material, resulting in improved battery performance and cycle life. In the fabricated single-crystal MnO2 aqueous zinc-ion battery, the elimination of internal crystal faces in MnO2 leads to ordered lattice arrangement, enabling a more direct and unobstructed diffusion path for H+ ions within the lattice. This significantly enhances the ion conductivity of the cathode material, promoting the rate and efficiency of the battery's charge and discharge processes. Therefore, single-crystal MnO2 exhibits excellent cycling performance for zinc-ion storage in ZIBs, achieving a high specific capacity of 224.7 mA h g-1 after 250 cycles under a current density of 0.3 A g-1 , while maintaining a Coulombic efficiency of 99.58 %.

Abstract
The uncontrolled growth of dendrites and serious side reactions, such as hydrogen evolution and corrosion, significantly hinder the industrial application and development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). This article presents ovalbumin (OVA) as a multifunctional electrolyte additive for aqueous ZIBs. Experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that the OVA additive can replace the solvated sheath of recombinant hydrated Zn2+ through the coordination water, preferentially adsorb on the surface of the Zn anode, and construct a high-quality self-healing protective film. Notably, the OVA-based protective film with strong Zn2+ affinity will promote uniform Zn deposition and inhibit side reactions. As a result, Zn||Zn symmetrical batteries in ZnSO4 electrolytes containing OVA achieve a cycle life exceeding 2200 h. Zn||Cu batteries and Zn||MnO2 (2 A g-1) full batteries show excellent cycling stability for 2500 cycles, demonstrating promising application prospects. This study provides insights into utilizing natural protein molecules to modulate the kinetics of Zn2+ diffusion and enhance the stability of the anode interface.

A three-dimensional interconnected molybdenum disulfide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes cathode with enlarged interlayer spacing for aqueous zinc-ion storage. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 639:292-301. [PMID: 36805754 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.02.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
Layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) shows tremendous prospect as cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to the two-dimensional zinc ions (Zn2+) diffusion channels and tunable interlayer spacing. However, it is subjected to sluggish insertion/extraction kinetics, inferior electronic conductivity and inadequate active capacities. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) interconnected MoS2/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) framework is proposed to address these issues. Importantly, the MWCNTs cores offer interconnection routes for fast electrons and zinc ions transport, the expanded spacing of MoS2 interlayer with 1.05 nm can facilitate rapid Zn2+ intercalation/extraction, and the confined MoS2 layers in inner MWCNTs can mitigate the agglomeration and restacking of MoS2 nanosheets. Benefitting from the confined structural configuration, sufficient active surface and 3D structural stability, the MoS2/MWCNTs as AZIBs cathode delivers a large initial reversible capacity of 218.3 mAh/g and high coulombic efficiency of 78.2 % at 0.1 A/g. Additionally, the 3D interconnected cathode maintains nearly intact structure after a fierce galvanostatic charge/discharge process, resulting in large retained capacities of 126.3 mAh/g at 1 A/g after 650 cycles and 101.1 mAh/g at 3 A/g after 1000 cycles. This work offers a novel strategy for the structure design of two-dimensional materials to develop high-performance cathodes for AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are highly desirable for sustainable energy storage, but the undesired Zn dendrites growth severely shortens the cycle life. Herein, a triple-gradient electrode that simultaneously integrates gradient conductivity, zincophilicity, and porosity is facilely constructed for a dendrite-free Zn anode. The simple mechanical rolling-induced triple-gradient design effectively optimizes the electric field distribution, Zn2+ ion flux, and Zn deposition paths in the Zn anode, thus synergistically achieving a bottom-up deposition behavior for Zn metals and preventing the short circuit from top dendrite growth. As a result, the electrode with triple gradients delivers a low overpotential of 35 mV and operates steadily over 400 h at 5 mA cm-2 /2.5 mAh cm-2 and 250 h at 10 mA cm-2 /1 mAh cm-2 , far surpassing the non-gradient, single-gradient and dual-gradient counterparts. The well-tunable materials and structures with the facile fabrication method of the triple-gradient strategy will bring inspiration for high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
By virtue of low cost, eco-friendliness, competitive gravimetric energy density, and intrinsic safety, more and more attention has increasingly focused on aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) as a promising alternative for scalable energy storage. However, plagued by a complex interfacial process, sluggish dynamics, lability of electrodes and electrolytes, insufficient energy density, and poor cycle life heavily restrict practical applications of AZIBs, indicating that profound understandings on cathode storage chemistry are necessarily needed. Hence, this paper comprehensively summarizes recent advance in cathodes with critical insight on the energy storage mechanism. Furthermore, the issues and challenges for high-performance cathodes are meticulously explored, presenting inspiring structural engineering and modification strategies. Finally, rational evaluations on representative cathodes are rendered, suggesting the potential development direction of AZIBs.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been extensively studied as a potential storage material for batteries. However, the electrochemical performance of MoS2 is far from ideal, and it exhibits severe activity fading resulting from its low electronic conductivity. The present work synthesizes nitrogen (N)-doped 1T MoS2 nanoflowers made of ultrathin nanosheets via the one-step hydrothermal sulfurization of a molybdenum-based metal-organic framework precursor. The resulting metallic phase shows improved conductivity and hydrophilicity, and characterization demonstrates that N doping effectively expands the interlayer spacing and increases the concentration of sulfur vacancies serving as defects. This material demonstrates high rate performance and good cycling stability when used as the cathode in an aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion battery (ARZIB). Its performance is superior to those of pure 1T MoS2 and 2H MoS2 synthesized with MoO3 as the molybdenum source. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses are performed to explore the reaction mechanism during charging and discharging of the N-doped 1T MoS2. A three-cell series ARZIB system containing this material is used to power five light-emitting diodes to confirm the possible practical applications of this technology.
