Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are the new generation electrochemical energy storage systems. Recently, two-dimensional conductive metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) are attractive to serve as cathode materials of ZIBs due to their compositional diversity, abundant active sites, and excellent conductivity. Despite the growing interest in 2D c-MOFs, their application prospects are still to be explored. Herein, a tetraoxa[8]circulene (TOC) derivative with unique electronic structure and interesting redox-active property are synthesized to construct c-MOFs. A series of novel 2D c-MOFs (Cu-TOC, Zn-TOC and Mn-TOC) with different conductivities and packing modes are obtained by combining the linker tetraoxa[8]circulenes-2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octaol (8OH-TOC) and corresponding metal ions. Three c-MOFs all exhibit typical semiconducting properties, and Cu-TOC exhibits the highest electrical conductivity of 0.2 S cm-1 among them. Furthermore, their electrochemical performance as cathode materials for ZIBs have been investigated. They all performed high reversible capacity, decent cycle stability and excellent rate capability. This work reveals the key insights into the electrochemical application potential of 2D c-MOFs and advances their development as cathode materials in ZIBs.

Abstract
The advancement of Zn-Se batteries has been hindered by significant challenges, such as the sluggish kinetics of Se cathodes, limited Se loading, and uncontrollable formation of Zn dendrites. In this study, a bidirectional optimization strategy is devised for both cathode and anode to bolster the performance of Zn-Se batteries. A novel bowl-in-ball structured carbon (BIBCs) material is synthesized to serve as a nanoreactor, in which tin-based materials are grown and derived in situ to construct cathodes and anodes. Within the cathode, the multifunctional host material (SnSe@BIBCs) exhibits large adsorption capacity for selenium, and demonstrates supreme catalytic properties and spatially confined characteristics toward the selenium reduction reaction (SeRR). On the anode, Sn@BIBCs displays triple-induced properties, including the zincophilic of the internal metallic Sn, the homogenized spatial electric field from the 3D spatial structure, and the curvature effect of the bowl-shaped carbon. Collectively, these factors induce preferential nucleation of Zn, ensuring its uniform deposition. As a result, the integrated Zn-Se battery system achieves a remarkable specific capacity of up to 603 mAh g-1 and an impressive energy density of 581 W kg-1, highlighting its tremendous potential for practical applications.

Abstract
Improving the layered-structure stability and suppressing vanadium (V) dissolution during repeated Zn2+ insertion/extraction processes are key to promoting the electrochemical stability of V-based cathodes for aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this study, barium vanadate (Ba2V2O7, BVO) nanostructures (NSs) are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. The formation process of the BVO NSs is controlled by adjusting the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and these NSs are employed as potential cathode materials for AZIBs. As the H2O2 content increases, the corresponding electrochemical properties demonstrate a discernible parabolic trend, with an initial increase, followed by a subsequent decrease. Benefiting from the effect of H2O2 concentration, the optimized BVO electrode with 20 mL H2O2 delivers a specific capacity of 180.15 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 with good rate capability and a long-term cyclability of 158.34 mA h g-1 at 3 A g-1 over 2000 cycles. Thus, this study provides a method for designing cathode materials with robust structures to boost the electrochemical performance of AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), defined by low expenses, superior safety, and plentiful reserves, demonstrate tremendous development potential in energy storage systems at the grid scale. Whereas the cathode instability and the limited diffusion of Zn2+ have impeded the development of AZIBs. Herein, a high-performance K-NH4V4O10 (K-NVO) cathode with K+ doping synthesized successfully through one-step hydrothermal approach. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that K-NVO has Zn2+ diffusion pathways with lower barriers for smoother transport, and lower formation energy. The combination of the rapid Zn2+ diffusion and the stable structure results in outstanding electrochemical performance of K-NVO as demonstrated in tests. K-NVO cathode achieves a specific capacity of 406 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, maintains satisfactory cyclic stability with 81.6 % capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1, and possesses a high energy density of 350.9 Wh kg-1. Furthermore, confirmation of the zinc storage mechanism in K-NVO was carried out through Ex situ tests, such as XRD and XPS. This research contributes a unique perspective to the formulation of high-performance cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to their inherent safety, abundant availability, environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness. However, the cathodes in ZIBs encounter challenges such as structural instability, low capacity, and sluggish kinetics. In this study, we constructed BiVO4@VO2 (BVO@VO) heterojunction cathode material with bismuth vanadate and vanadium dioxide phases for ZIBs, which demonstrate significant advancements in both aqueous and quasi-solid-state ZIBs. Benefitting from the heterojunction structure, the materials present a high capacity of 262 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, superb cyclic stability with 96% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1, and outstanding rate property with a specific capacity of 218 mAh g-1 even at a high rate of 5.0 A g-1. Furthermore, the flexible quasi-solid-state ZIBs incorporating the BVO@VO cathode demonstrate prolonged cyclic life performance with a remarkable specific capacity of 234 mAh g-1 over 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A g-1. This study potentially paves the way for the utilization of heterointerface-enhanced zinc ion diffusion for vanadium-based materials in ZIBs, thereby providing a new approach for the design and investigation of high-performance zinc-ion systems.

Abstract
Sulfur is a promising conversion-type cathode for zinc batteries (ZBs) due to its high discharge capacity and cost-effectiveness. However, the redox conversion of multivalent S in ZBs is still limited, only having achieved S0/S2- redox conversion with low discharge voltage and poor reversibility. This study presents significant progress by demonstrating, for the first time, the reversible S2-/S4+ redox behavior in ZBs with up to six-electron transfer (with an achieved discharge capacity of ≈1284 mAh g-1) using a highly concentrated ClO4 --containing electrolyte. The developed succinonitrile-Zn(ClO4)2 eutectic electrolyte stabilizes the positive-valence S compound and contributes to an ultra-low polarization voltage. Notably, the achieved flat discharge plateaus demonstrate the highest operation voltage (1.54 V) achieved to date in Zn‖S batteries. Furthermore, the high-voltage Zn‖S battery exhibits remarkable conversion dynamics, excellent cycling performance (85.7% capacity retention after 500 cycles), high efficiency (98.4%), and energy density (527 Wh kg S -1). This strategy of positive-valence conversion of sulfur represents a significant advancement in understanding sulfur chemistry in batteries and holds promise for future high-voltage sulfur-based batteries.

Abstract
Layered manganese-based cathode materials are considered as one of the promising cathodes benefit from inherent low manufacturing cost, non-toxic and high safety in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). However, the sluggish reaction kinetics within layered cathodes is inevitable due to the poor electrical/ionic conductivity. Herein, MnTiO3 is reported as a new cathode material for AZIBs and in-situ induced Mn-defect within MnTiO3 during the first charging is desirable to improve the reaction kinetics to a great extent. Additionally, DFT calculations further demonstrate that MnTiO3 with manganese defects exhibits a uniform charge distribution at the defect sites, enhancing the attraction towards H+ and Zn2+ ions. Furthermore, it performs good cycling stability which can obtain 115 mA h g-1 even at 400 mA g-1 after 450 cycles and the discharge capacity reaches up to 233.8 mAh/g at 100 mA g-1 when Mn-defect MnTiO3 was employed as the cathode. This research could provide a new method for the development and mechanism research of cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
In view of the advantages of low cost, environmental sustainability, and high safety, aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) are widely expected to hold significant promise and increasingly infiltrate various applications in the near future. The development of AZIBs closely relates to the properties of cathode materials, which depend on their structures and corresponding dynamic evolution processes. Synchrotron radiation light sources, with their rich advanced experimental methods, serve as a comprehensive characterization platform capable of elucidating the intricate microstructure of cathode materials for AZIBs. In this review, we initially examine available cathode materials and discuss effective strategies for structural regulation to boost the storage capability of Zn2+. We then explore the synchrotron radiation techniques for investigating the microstructure of the designed materials, particularly through in situ synchrotron radiation techniques that can track the dynamic evolution process of the structures. Finally, the summary and future prospects for the further development of cathode materials of AZIBs and advanced synchrotron radiation techniques are discussed.

Abstract
Vanadium-based oxides, known for their high capacity and low cost, have garnered significant attention as promising cathode candidates in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Nonetheless, their poor rate performance and limited durability in aqueous electrolytes present a challenge to the realistic implementation of vanadium-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Here, we synthesized nitrogen-doped V2O3@C (N-V2O3@N-C) via ammonia treatment of V2O3@C derived from vanadium-based metal-organic framework (V-MOF), aiming to achieve outstanding rate and cycling performance. The N-V2O3@N-C electrode exhibits notable in situ self-transformation into an amorphous state. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the distorted N-V2O3 structure and uneven charge distribution result in the creation of an amorphous state. As expected, Zn/N-V2O3@N-C aqueous zinc-ion batteries can achieve remarkable specific capacity (349.0 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), along with impressive rate performance, showcasing a capacity of 253.5 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 and exceptional durability at 5 A g-1 (96.4% after 1350 cycles). The employed induced amorphization approach offers novel perspectives for designing high-performance cathodes that exhibit both sturdy structures and extended cycling lifespans.

Batteries play a pivotal role in various electrochemical energy storage systems, functioning as essential components to enhance energy utilization efficiency and expedite the realization of energy and environmental sustainability. Zn-based batteries have attracted increasing attention as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries owing to their cost effectiveness, enhanced intrinsic safety, and favorable electrochemical performance. In this context, substantial endeavors have been dedicated to crafting and advancing high-performance Zn-based batteries. However, some challenges, including limited discharging capacity, low operating voltage, low energy density, short cycle life, and complicated energy storage mechanism, need to be addressed in order to render large-scale practical applications.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-bromine batteries hold immense promise for large-scale energy storage systems due to their inherent safety and high energy density. However, achieving a reliable zinc metal electrode reaction is challenging because zinc metal in the aqueous electrolyte inevitably leads to dendrite growth and related side reactions, resulting in rapid capacity fading. Here, it is reported that combined cationic and anionic additives in the electrolytes using CeCl3 can simultaneously address the multiple chronic issues of the zinc metal electrode. Trivalent Ce3+ forms an electrostatic shielding layer to prevent Zn2+ from concentrating at zinc metal protrusions, while the high electron-donating nature of Cl- mitigates H2O decomposition on the zinc metal surface by reducing the interaction between Zn2+ and H2O. These combined cationic and anionic effects significantly enhance the reversibility of the zinc metal reaction, allowing the non-flow aqueous Zn─Br2 full-cell to reliably cycle with exceptionally high capacity (>400 mAh after 5000 cycles) even in a large-scale battery configuration of 15 × 15 cm2.

Abstract
VO2 material, as a promising intercalation host, is widely investigated not only in aqueous lithium-ion batteries, but also in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) owing to its stable tunnel-like framework and multivalence of vanadium. Different from lithium-ion storage, VO2 can provide higher capacity when storing zinc ions, even exceeding its theoretical capacity (323 mAh g-1), but the specific reason for this unconventional performance in AZIBs is still unclear. The present study proposes a catalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) coupled with an interface oxidation mechanism of VO2 during the initial charging to a high voltage. This coupling induces a phase transformation of VO2 into a high oxidation state of V5O12∙6H2O, enabling a nearly two-electron reaction and providing additional zinc storage sites to achieve super-theoretical capacity. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that these vanadium oxide cathodes (V2O3, VO2, and V2O5) will all undergo phase change after the first charge or short cycle. Notably, water molecules participate in the final formation of layered vanadium-based hydrate, highlighting their crucial role as "pillars" for stabilizing the structure. This work significantly enhances the understanding of vanadium-based oxide cathodes.

Abstract
Vanadium-based compounds are fantastic cathodes for aqueous zinc metal batteries due to the high specific capacity and excellent rate capability. Nevertheless, the practical application has been hampered by the dissolution of vanadium in traditional aqueous electrolytes owing to the strong polarity of water molecules. Herein, we propose a hybrid electrolyte made of Zn(ClO4)2 salt in tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4) and H2O solvents to upgrade the cycle life of Zn//K0.486V2O5 battery. The G4 jointly solvates with Zn2+ ions and replaces a portion of the H2O molecules in the Zn2+ solvation sheath. It forms a strong bond with H2O, reducing its activity, and significantly inhibiting vanadium dissolution and water-induced parasitic reaction. Consequently, the optimized electrolyte with H2O and G4 volume ratio of 5 : 5 enhances the cycling stability of Zn//K0.486V2O5 battery, enabling it to reach up to 600 cycles. In addition, the battery demonstrates a satisfactory reversible capacity of 475.7 mAh g-1 and excellent rate performance attributed to the moderate ionic conductivity (28.8 mS cm-1) of the hybrid electrolyte. Last but not least, in the optimized electrolyte, the symmetric Zn//Zn cells deliver a long cycling performance of 400 h, while the asymmetric Zn//Cu cells shows a high average coulombic efficiency of 97.4 %.

Abstract
Resolving the sluggish transport kinetics of divalent Zn2+ in the cathode lattice and improving mass-loading performance are crucial for advancing the zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) application. Herein, PEO-LiV3 O8 superlattice nanosheets (PEO-LVO) with expanded interlayer spacing (1.16 nm) are fabricated to provide a high-rate, stable lifetime, and large mass-loading cathode. The steady in-plane expansion without shrinkage after the first cycle, but reversible H+ /Zn2+ co-insertion in PEO-LVO are demonstrated by operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction and ex situ characterizations. Moreover, the large capacity of PEO-LVO is traced back to the optimized Zn2+ insertion chemistry with increased Zn2+ storage ratio, which is facilitated by the interlayer PEO in lowering the Zn2+ diffusion barrier and increased number of active sites from additional interfaces, as anticipated by density functional theory. Due to the optimized ion insertion resulting in stalled interfacial byproducts and rapid kinetics, PEO-LVO achieves excellent high mass-loading performance (areal capacity up to 6.18 mAh cm-2 for freestanding electrode with 24 mg cm-2 mass-loading and 2.8 mAh cm-2 at 130 mA cm-2 for conventional electrode with 27 mg cm-2 mass-loading). As a proof-of-concept, the flexible all-solid-state fiber-shaped AZIBs with high mass-loading woven into a fabric can power an electronic watch, highlighting the application potential of PEO-LVO cathode.

Abstract
Heterostructure engineering and oxygen vacancy engineering are the most promising modification strategies to reinforce the Zn2+ ion storage of vanadium oxides. Herein, a rare mixed-dimensional material (VOx), composed of V2O5 (2D), V3O7 (3D), and V6O13 (3D) heterostructures, rich in oxygen vacancies, was synthesized via thermal decomposition of layered ammonium vanadate. The VOx cathode provides an exceptional discharge capacity (411 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and superior cycling stability (the capacity retention remains close to 100% after 800 cycles at 2 A g-1) for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Ex situ characterizations confirm that the byproduct Zn3V2O7(OH)2·nH2O is generated/decomposed during discharge/charge processes. Furthermore, VOx demonstrates reversible intercalation/deintercalation of H+/Zn2+ ions, enabling efficient energy storage. Remarkably, a reversible crystal-to-amorphous transformation in the V2O5 phase of VOx during charge-discharge was observed. This investigation reveals that mixed-dimensional heterostructured vanadium oxide, with abundant oxygen vacancies, serves as a highly promising electrode material for AZIBs, further advancing the comprehension of the storage mechanism within vanadium-based cathode materials.

Abstract
Chlorine-based batteries with Cl0 to Cl- redox reaction (ClRR) are promising for high-performance energystorage due to their high redox potential and large theoretical capacity. However, the inherent gas-liquid conversion feature of ClRR together with poor Cl fixation can cause Cl2 leakage, reducing battery reversibility. Herein, we utilize a Se-based organic molecule, diphenyl diselenide (di-Ph-Se), as the Cl anchoring agent and realize an atomic level-Cl fixation through chalcogen-halogencoordinating chemistry. The promoted Cl fixation, with two oxidized Cl0 anchoring on a single Ph-Se, and the multivalence conversion of Se contributeto a six-electron conversion process with up to 507 mAh g-1 and an average voltage of 1.51 V, as well as a high energy density of 665 Wh Kg-1 . Based on the superior reversibility of thedeveloped di-Ph-Se electrode with ClRR, a remarkable rate performance (205 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and cycling performance (capacity retention of 77.3 % after 500cycles) are achieved. Significantly, the pouch cell delivers a record arealcapacity of up to 6.87 mAh cm-2 and extraordinary self-discharge performance. This chalcogen-halogen coordination chemistry between the Se electrode and Cl provides a new insight for developing reversible and efficientbatteries with halogen redox reactions.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) show great potential in large-scale energy storage applications because of their low cost and high safety features, whereas the inefficient zinc utilization and uncontrollable dendrite issue of the zinc metal anode greatly limit their energy density and cycling stability. Herein, a carbon-wrapped vanadium dioxide (VO2@C) core-shell composite has been prepared and utilized as an intercalated anode of "rocking-chair" ZIBs. Benefiting from the carbon shell, the charge transfer and structural stability of VO2@C have been significantly improved, thus delivering a specific capacity of 425 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and a capacity retention of 94.9% after 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1, better than that of VO2 (338 mA h g-1 and 59.2%). Further, the low Zn2+ intercalated potential (0.54 V vs Zn2+/Zn) and reversible Zn2+ intercalation/deintercalation behavior of VO2@C enable the successful construction of VO2@C||ZnMn2O4 "rocking-chair" ZIBs, which achieve a capacity of 104 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and an exceptional energy density of 96.3 W h kg-1 at 74.1 W kg-1 (based on the total weight). This research enriches the currently available options for constructing high-energy-density energy storage systems.

Abstract
Given their plentiful reserves, impressive safety features, and economical pricing, aqueous zinc - ion batteries (ZIBs) have positioned themselves as strong competitors to lithium - ion batteries. Yet, the scarcity of available cathode materials poses a challenge to their continued development. In this study, a V2O5/V6O13 heterostructure has been synthesized using a one - pot hydrothermal approach and employed as the cathode material for ZIBs. As evidenced by both experimental and theoretical findings, V2O5/V6O13 heterostructure delivers a rapid electrons and ions diffusion kinetics promoted by the stable interface and strong electronic coupling with significant charge transfer between V2O5 and V6O13, as well as a stable interface achieved by adjusting V - O bond length. Consequently, the optimized V2O5/V6O13 heterostructure cathode of ZIBs demonstrates exceptional capacity (338 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), remarkable cycling stability (92.96 % retained after 1400 cycles at 1 A g-1). Through comprehensive theoretical calculations and ex situ characterization, the kinetic analysis and storage mechanism of Zn2+ are thoroughly investigated, providing a solid theoretical foundation for the advancement of novel V - based cathode materials aimed at enhancing the performance of ZIBs.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:32023-32027. [PMID: 37920199 PMCID: PMC10618903 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra05754b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/04/2023] Open
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.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have become one of the most potential energy storage devices due to their high safety and low cost. Vanadium oxide is an ideal cathode material for AZIBs because of its unique tunnel structure and multivalent nature. In this work, electrospun VO2/carbon fibers (VO2@CPAN) with a three-dimensional (3D) network are obtained by an electrospinning strategy combining with a controlled heat treatment. As cathode for AZIBs, the 3D network of the carbon fiber significantly improves the conductivity of VO2, avoids the agglomeration of VO2, and increases the stability of VO2. Therefore, VO2@CPAN delivers a specific capacity of 323.2 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1, which is higher than pure VO2. At the same time, excellent capacity retention of 76.6% is obtained at high current density of 10 A g-1 after 3000 cycles.

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
Chalcogens, especially tellurium (Te), as conversion-type cathodes possess promising prospects for zinc batteries (ZBs) with potential rich valence supply and high energy density. However, the conversion reaction of Te is normally restricted to the Te2-/Te0 redox with a low voltage plateau at ∼0.59 V (vs Zn2+/Zn) rather than the expected positive valence conversion of Te0 to Ten+, inhibiting the development of Te-based batteries toward high output voltage and energy density. Herein, the desired reversible Te2-/Te0/Te2+/Te4+ redox behavior with up to six-electron transfer was successfully activated by employing a highly concentrated Cl--containing electrolyte (Cl- as strong nucleophile) for the first time. Three flat discharge plateaus located at 1.24, 0.77, and 0.51 V, respectively, are attained with a total capacity of 802.7 mAh g-1. Furthermore, to improve the stability of Ten+ products and enhance the cycling stability, a modified ionic liquid (IL)-based electrolyte was fabricated, leading to a high-performance Zn∥Te battery with high areal capacity (7.13 mAh cm-2), high energy density (542 Wh kgTe-1 or 227 Wh Lcathdoe+anode-1), excellent cycling performance, and a low self-discharge rate based on 400 mAh-level pouch cell. The results enhance the understanding of tellurium chemistry in batteries, substantially promising a remarkable route for advanced ZBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), with the merits of high safety, environmental friendliness, abundant resources, and competitive energy density are recognized as a promising secondary battery technology and are anticipated to be a great alternative to organic lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the commercial application of AZIBs is severely hindered by intractable issues, including high desolvation barrier, sluggish ion transport kinetics, growth of zinc dendrite, and side reactions. Nowadays, cellulosic materials are frequently employed in the fabrication of advanced AZIBs, because of the intrinsically excellent hydrophilicity, strong mechanical strength, sufficient active groups, and unexhaustible production. In this paper, we start from reviewing the success and dilemma of organic LIBs, followed by introducing the next-generation power source of AZIBs. After summarizing the features of cellulose with great potential in advanced AZIBs, we comprehensively and logically analyze the applications and superiorities of cellulosic materials in AZIBs electrodes, separators, electrolytes, and binders with an in-depth perspective. Finally, a clear outlook is delivered for future development of cellulose in AZIBs. Hopefully, this review can offer a smooth avenue for future direction of AZIBs by means of cellulosic material design and structure optimization.

Abstract
Realizing rapid and reversible Zn2+ storage at the cathode is imperative for the advancement of aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs), which offer an excellent option for large-scale electrochemical energy storage. However, owing to limitations of the structural stability of previously investigated frameworks, the Zn2+ storage processes remain unclear, thus hindering progress towards the above goal. Herein, we present the novel application of MoVTe oxide with an M1 phase (MVT-M1) as a potential cathode material for ZIBs. MVT-M1 features broad and robust tunnels that facilitate reversible Zn2+ insertion/extraction during cycling, as well as rich redox centers (Mo, V, and Te) to aid in charge redistribution, resulting in good performances in ZIBs. The exceptional resilience of MVT-M1 to high-energy electron beams allows for direct observation of Zn2+ insertion/extraction at the atomic scale within the tunnels for the first time using high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy; the storage location of zinc ions within the cathode is accurately determined layer by layer from the surface to the bulk phase by employing time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. Additionally, solvent molecules (H2O and methanol) are also found inside the tunnels along with Zn2+. Due to the broader heptagonal tunnels and Te ions in the hexagonal tunnels, MVT-M1 exhibits good cycling stability, outperforming MoVTe oxide with the M2 phase (no heptagonal tunnels) and MoV oxide with the M1 phase (no Te). These findings hold significant importance in advancing our understanding of the Zn2+ storage mechanism and enable the design of novel materials specifically optimized for efficient Zn2+ storage.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ARZIBs) are promising candidates for fast-charging energy-storage systems. The issues of stronger interactions between Zn2+ and the cathode for ultrafast ARZIBs can be partially addressed by enhancing mass transfer and ion diffusion of the cathode. Herein, via thermal oxidation for the first time, N-doped VO2 porous nanoflowers with short ion diffusion paths and improved electrical conductivity were synthesized as ARZIBs cathode materials. The introduction of nitrogen derived from the vanadium-based-zeolite imidazolyl framework (V-ZIF) contributes to enhanced electrical conductivity and faster ion diffusion, while the thermal oxidation of the VS2 precursor assists the final product in exhibiting a more stable three-dimensional nanoflower structure. In particular, the N-doped VO2 cathode shows excellent cycle stability and superior rate capability with the delivered capacities of 165.02 mAh g-1 and 85 mAh g-1, at 10 A g-1 and 30 A g-1, and the capacity retention of 91.4% after 2200 cycles and 99% after 9000 cycles, respectively. Remarkably, the battery takes less than 10 s to be fully charged at 30 A g-1. Hence, this work provides a new avenue for designing unique nanostructured vanadium oxides and developing electrode materials suitable for ultrafast charging.

Abstract
A proton (H+) and zinc ion (Zn2+) co-insertion model is put forward in this study to elucidate the capacity origin of an aqueous zinc ion battery (ZIB) based on a heavily loaded (∼15 mg cm-2) cathode, which consists of Na2V6O16·3H2O (NVO) embedded particularly in the macropores of activated carbon cloth (ACC), coupled with a highly stable Zn/In anode. The confinement effect of these porous channels not only prevents the detachment of NVO from ACC but also well mitigates its volume change resulting from H+ and Zn2+ co-intercalation, which collectively render the stability of NVO/ACC markedly enhanced. Moreover, the bicontinuous structure of NVO/ACC, as a result of the self-interlacing of intrapore NVO, which is first engineered into the nanobelts, and their interlocking with the carbon fibers of ACC, simultaneously giving rise to a solid and a holey framework, is favorable to the electron and ion transport throughout the entire electrode. The synergistic effect of such facile charge transfer kinetics and the high packing density of NVO in the cathode endows ZIBs with not only a good rate performance but also an exceptional areal capacity amounting to 4.6 mAh cm-2, far surpassing those reported for additional vanadium-based counterparts reported in the literature.

Abstract
Vanadium oxides with multioxidation states and various crystalline structures offer unique electrical, optical, optoelectronic and magnetic properties, which could be manipulated for various applications. For the past 30 years, significant efforts have been made to study the fundamental science and explore the potential for vanadium oxide materials in ion batteries, water splitting, smart windows, supercapacitors, sensors, and so on.

Abstract
Layered vanadium-based oxides are the promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, an in situ electrochemical strategy that can effectively regulate the interlayer distance of layered NH4 V4 O10 quantitatively is proposed and a close relationship between the optimal performances with interlayer space is revealed. Specifically, via increasing the cutoff voltage from 1.4, 1.6 to 1.8 V, the interlayer space of NH4 V4 O10 can be well-controlled and enlarged to 10.21, 11.86, and 12.08 Å, respectively, much larger than the pristine one (9.5 Å). Among them, the cathode being charging to 1.6 V (NH4 V4 O10 -C1.6), demonstrates the best Zn2+ storage performances including high capacity of 223 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 and long-term stability with capacity retention of 97.5% over 1000 cycles. Such superior performances can be attributed to a good balance among active redox sites, charge transfer kinetics, and crystal structure stability, enabled by careful control of the interlayer space. Moreover, NH4 V4 O10 -C1.6 delivers NH4 + storage performances whose capacity reaches 296 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and lifespan lasts over 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1 . This study provides new insights into understand the limitation of interlayer space for ion storage in aqueous media and guides exploration of high-performance cathode materials.

Abstract
Recently, intercalation pseudocapacitance has received significant interest as an abnormal charge storage mechanism owing to the battery-like intercalation energy storage into the bulk electrodes and the fast charge storage kinetics of electrochemical capacitors. However, intercalation pseudocapacitance of molybdenum-based polyoxometalates (POMs) for high-performance Zn ion battery (ZIB) cathodes is yet to be exploited. Herein, we demonstrate the fast and reversible intercalation pseudocapacitance of vanadium-substituted Keggin-type molybdenum-based POMs (XPMoV), where H of HPMoV is replaced by X cations (X = Li, Na, K, or Rb). This cation exchange allows cation-exchanged XPMoV to exhibit the morphological evolution into an anisotropic rodlike structure and to achieve a pillar effect on the improved chemical and structural integrity. Despite the micron-size rod morphology and the contracted lattice of (100) plane, the intercalation pseudocapacitance kinetics of XPMoV was dominated by the fast surface-confined electrochemistry and became highly reversible after the 1st cycle activation process by co-intercalation of Li+ and Zn2+ ions. Therefore, the ZIB with the KPMoV cathode delivered a high rate capability of 74.0 mAh g-1 at 20,000 mA g-1 and 87% capacity retention over 2000 cycles at 1000 mA g-1, far exceeding HPMoV and other Mo-based cathodes. This study paves the way to design the fast and reversible intercalation pseudocapacitance of POMs and the cation exchange chemistry into the improved (electro)chemical and structural integrity.

Abstract
Vanadium oxyhydroxide has been recently investigated as a starting material to synthesize different phases of vanadium oxides by electrochemical or thermal conversion and has been used as an aqueous zinc-ion battery (AZIB) cathode. However, the low-valent vanadium oxides have poor phase stability under ambient conditions. So far, there is no study on understanding the phase evolution of such low-valent vanadium oxides and their effect on the electrochemical performance toward hosting the Zn2+ ions. The primary goal of the work is to develop a high-performance AZIB cathode, and the highlight of the current work is the insight into the auto-oxidation-induced phase transition of VOOH to V10O24·nH2O under ambient conditions and Zn2+ intercalation behavior thereon as an aqueous zinc-ion battery cathode. Herein, we demonstrate that hydrothermally synthesized VOOH undergoes a phase transition to V10O24·nH2O during both the electrochemical cycling and aerial aging over 38-45 days. However, continued aging till 150 days at room temperature in an open atmosphere exhibited an increased interlayer water content in the V10O24·nH2O, which was associated with a morphological change with different surface area/porosity characteristics and notably reduced charge transfer/diffusion resistance as an aqueous zinc-ion battery cathode. Although the fresh VOOH cathode had impressive specific capacity at rate performance, (326 mAh/g capacity at 0.1 A/g current and 104 mAh/g capacity at 4 A/g current) the cathode suffered from a continuous capacity decay. Interestingly, the aged VOOH electrodes showed gradually decreasing specific capacity with aging at low current and however followed the reverse order at high current. At a comparable specific power of ∼64-66 W/kg, the fresh VOOH and aged VOOH after 60, 120, and 150 days of aging showed the respective energy densities of 208.3, 281.2, 269.2, and 240.6 Wh/kg. Among all the VOOH materials, the 150 day-aged VOOH cathode exhibited the highest energy density at a power density beyond 1000 W/kg. Thanks to the improved kinetics, the 150 day-aged VOOH cathode delivered a considerable energy density of 39.7 Wh/kg with a high specific power of 4466 W/kg. Also, it showed excellent cycling performance with only 0.002% capacity loss per cycle over 20 300 cycles at 10 A/g.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have gained wide attention for their low cost, high safety, and environmental friendliness in recent years. β-MnO2, a potential cathode material for ZIBs, has been restricted by its small channels for efficient charge storage. Herein, β-MnO2 nanorods with oxygen vacancies are fabricated by a K+-doping strategy to improve the performance of ZIBs. The assembled batteries exhibit a capacity of 468 mAh g-1, a power density of 2605 W kg-1, and an energy density of 179 Wh kg-1, which outperforms most reported ZIBs. Such a performance is owing to the synergistic combination of the oxygen vacancies in β-MnO2 and concurrent deposition of ε-MnO2 from Mn2+ in the electrolyte. Furthermore, superior cycling stability with negligible capacity decay in these batteries is demonstrated over 1000 cycles at a high current of 2 A g-1. This study reveals the importance of oxygen vacancies and Mn2+ deposition effect in understanding the mechanism of charge storage in MnO2-based ZIBs.

Abstract
Ever-increasing global energy consumption has driven the development of renewable energy technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) with high electrochemical performance are critical for enabling renewable yet intermittent sources of energy such as solar and wind. In recent years, numerous new battery technologies have been achieved and showed great potential for grid scale energy storage (GSES) applications. However, their practical applications have been greatly impeded due to the gap between the breakthroughs achieved in research laboratories and the industrial applications. In addition, various complex applications call for different battery performances. Matching of diverse batteries to various applications is required to promote practical energy storage research achievement. This review provides in-depth discussion and comprehensive consideration in the battery research field for GSES. The overall requirements of battery technologies for practical applications with key parameters are systematically analyzed by generating standards and measures for GSES. We also discuss recent progress and existing challenges for some representative battery technologies with great promise for GSES, including metal-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, molten-salt batteries, alkaline batteries, redox-flow batteries, metal-air batteries, and hydrogen-gas batteries. Moreover, we emphasize the importance of bringing emerging battery technologies from academia to industry. Our perspectives on the future development of batteries for GSES applications are provided.

Abstract
Vanadium oxides represent a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) owing to their abundant valences and versatile cation-storage capacities. However, the sluggish Zn2+ diffusion kinetics in the V2O5 framework and poor intrinsic conductivity result in inferior rate capability and unsatisfactory cycling performance of the V2O5 cathode, and thus limits its commercial-scale deployment. Herein, a unique conducting polymer intercalation strategy is developed to optimize the ion/electron transport simultaneously based on the rational design of the composite structure and morphology. The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) intercalated V2O5 not only remarkably enlarges the interlayer distance for facile Zn2+ diffusion, but also diminishes the electron transport resistance by the π-conjugated structure of PEDOT. Additionally, the two-dimensional (2D) morphology enables shorter ion diffusion paths as well as a larger number of exposed sites for Zn2+ insertion. As a result, the PEDOT-intercalated V2O5 (PEDOT/V2O5) exhibits a good high-rate performance (154 mA h g-1 at an ultrahigh current density of 50 A g-1) and a long-term cycling life (maintains 170 mA h g-1 even after 2500 cycles at 30 A g-1). This universal strategy provides a design principle for constructing efficient Zn2+ and electron transport pathways within cathode materials, holding great potential for the development of high-performance and durable ZIB cathodes.

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
Vanadate compounds, such as V3O7·H2O, are of high interest due to their versatile applications as electrode material for metal-ion batteries. In particular, V3O7·H2O can insert different ions such as Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Zn2+. In that case, well resolved crystal structure data, such as crystal unit-cell parameters and atom positions, are needed in order to determine the structural information of the inserted ions in the V3O7·H2O structure. In this work, fundamental crystallographic parameters, i.e. atomic displacement parameters, are determined for the atoms in the V3O7·H2O structure. Furthermore, vanadium ions were substituted by molybdenum in the V3O7·H2O structure [(V2.85Mo0.15)O7·H2O] and the crystallographic positions of the molybdenum ions and their oxidation state are elucidated.

Abstract
H2V3O8/GaN n-n heterojunction ultraviolet photodetectors are fabricated via a facile dip-coating method. The Schottky junction between the GaN and H2V3O8 builds a built-in electric field to achieve the self-powered phenomenon. The photodetector presents a high photocurrent (0.23 μA) and a fast response speed (less than 0.3 s) at 0 V bias and under 365 nm light illumination (24.50 mW cm-2). Furthermore, the photocurrent increases steadily as the light intensity increases from 0.53 to 24.50 mW cm-2. The H2V3O8/GaN heterojunction holds great potential to realize high-performance hybrid PDs.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) with exceptional theoretical capacity have garnered significant interest in large-scale electrochemical energy storage devices due to their low cost, abundant material, inherent safety, high specific energy, and ecofriendly nature. Metal carbides/nitrides, known as MXenes, have emerged as a large family of 2D transition metal carbides or carbonitrides with excellent properties, e.g., high electrical conductivity, large surface functional groups (e.g., F, O, and OH), low energy barriers for the diffusion of electrolyte ions with wide interlayer spaces. After a decade of effort, significant development has been achieved in the synthesis, properties, and applications of MXenes. Thus, it has opened up various exciting opportunities to construct advanced MXene-based nanostructures for ZIBs with excellent specific energy and power. Herein, this review summarizes the advances across multiple synthesis routes, related properties, morphological and structural characteristics, and chemistries of MXenes for ZIBs. The recent development of MXene-based electrodes is introduced, and electrolytes for ZIBs are elucidated in detail. MXene-based rocking chair ZIBs, strategies to enhance the performance of MXene-based cathodes, suppress the dendrites in MXene-based anodes, and MXene-based flexible ZIBs are pointed out. A rational design and modification of the MXenes as well as the production of composites with metal oxides exhibits promise in solving issues and enhancing the electrochemical performance of ZIBs. Finally, the present challenges and future prospects for MXene-based ZIBs are discussed.
