Abstract
The energy crisis is a the worldwide problem which needs humans to solve immediately. To solve this problem, it is necessary to develop energy storage batteries. It is worth mentioning the aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries (ARZBs) which have some advantages, such as low cost, good safety and no need for an organic electrolyte as in the traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, it is still a challenge to find suitable and reliable electrode materials. In this work, as-prepared H2V3O8 nanorods and MXene composites are used as cathode materials in ARZBs which were designed well using a hydrothermal method after optimizing the reaction time. The results showed that H2V3O8/MXene ARZBs could provide a good transport path for zinc ions, which were based on special 1D H2V3O8 nanorods and 2D multi-layered MXene materials, which exhibited an outstanding initial specific discharge capacity of 373 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1, good rate capability and a long lifecycle with only 15.8% capacity decay at 500 mA g-1 after 5000 cycles. The H2V3O8/MXene composites with a good electrochemical performance bring insight into their promising applications for energy storage batteries. They provided enhanced rate performance and excellent cycling stability, which was ascribed to the multi-step and multi-mode zinc ion insertion/extraction process. This was confirmed by the use of the 1D/2D integrated structure of the H2V3O8/MXene composites, which was conductive to zinc ion diffusion.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Vanadium Oxide Microstructures with Mixed Oxidation States. REACTIONS 2022.

Abstract
This review is based on hydrothermal synthetic procedures that generate different vanadium oxide microstructures with mixed oxidation states, where different vanadium (V5+) precursors (vanadate, vanadium oxide, vanadium alkoxide, etc.,) are used to obtain various types of morphologies and shapes, such as sea urchins, cogs, stars, squares, etc., depending on the amphiphilic molecules (usually surfactants) exhibiting a structural director role containing an organic functional group such as primary amines and thiols, respectively. The performance of sol–gel methodology, where intercalation processes sometimes take place, is crucial prior to the hydrothermal treatment stage to control the V4+/V5+. In every synthesis, many physical and chemical parameters, such as temperature, pH, reaction time., etc., are responsible for influencing the reactions in order to obtain different products; the final material usually corresponds to a mixed oxidation state structure with different content rates. This feature has been used in many technological applications, and some researchers have enhanced it by functionalizing the products to enhance their electrochemical and magnetic properties. Although some results have been auspicious, there are a number of projects underway to improve the synthesis in many ways, including yield, secondary products, size distribution, oxidation state ratio, etc., to achieve the best benefits from these microstructures in the large number of technological, catalytic, and magnetic devices, among other applications.

Abstract
K0.25V2O5 (KVO) and K0.25V2O5/graphene oxide (KVO/GO) have been successfully synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation method and a subsequent calcination process. The structure and morphology of KVO and KVO/GO were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The as-obtained vanadate and vanadate modified by GO materials were used as anodes with LiMn2O4 as a cathode and saturated LiNO3 as an electrolyte to assemble an aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion battery (ARLB). The cyclic voltammogram curves of both KVO and KVO/GO electrodes exhibited three pairs of redox peaks corresponding to charge/discharge platforms. We found that a small amount of graphene oxide added improved the electrochemical performance more significantly than excess graphene oxide. The as-prepared KVO/GO//LiMn2O4 could not only improve the initial discharge capacity but could also reduce the attenuation at a high current density. Furthermore, the ARLB with a KVO/GO anode exhibited an excellent rate performance and super long cycle life. These good electrochemical properties of this new ARLB system actually provided feasibility for application in large-scale power sources and energy storage devices.

[PMID: 36043057 PMCID: PMC9364192 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra04196k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (ARLBs) are regarded as a competitive challenger for large-scale energy storage systems because of their high safety, modest cost, and green nature. A kind of modified composite material composed of H2V3O8 nanorods and graphene sheets (HVO/G) has been effectively made by a one-step hydrothermal method and following calcination at 523 K. XRD, SEM, TEM, and TG are used to determine the phase structures and morphologies of the composite materials. Owing to the advantage of the layered structure of H2V3O8 nanorods, the excellent conductivity of the graphene sheets, and the 3D network structure of the modified composite, the ARLBs with HVO/G can deliver an adequate specific capacity of 271 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1 and have a retention rate of 73.4% after 50 cycles. The average discharge capacity of ARLB with HVO/G as anode has a considerable improvement over that of HVO/CNTs and HVO, whatever the current rate used. Moreover, we find that the diffusion coefficient of lithium-ion increases by an order of magnitude through the theoretical calculation for HVO/G ARLB. The new ARLB with HVO/G electrode is a potential energy storage system with great advantages, such as simple preparation, easy assembly process, excellent safety and low-cost environmental protection.

Abstract
Sol-Gel is a low cost, well-established and flexible synthetic route to produce a wide range of micro- and nanostructures. Small variations in pH, temperature, precursors, time, pressure, atmosphere, among others, can lead to a wide family of compounds that share the same molecular structures. In this work, we present a general review of the synthesis of LaMnO3, SrTiO3, BaTiO3 perovskites and zinc vanadium oxides nanostructures based on Sol-Gel method. We discuss how small changes in the parameters of the synthesis can modify the morphology, shape, size, homogeneity, aggregation, among others, of the products. We also discuss the different precursors, solvents, working temperature, reaction times used throughout the synthesis. In the last section, we present novel uses of Sol-Gel with organic materials with emphasis on carbon-based compounds. All with a perspective to improve the method for future applications in different technological fields.
