Abstract
This Letter explores the energy storage properties of nano zinc vanadate in zinc metal batteries and a Zn metal free capattery. The synthesis is a simple scalable solution state mechanochemical route with uniform nanosized one-dimensional zinc vanadate. The synthesized vanadate is engineered using NMP at the electrode fabrication stage to position the Zn2+ ions at an easily extractable site. This in turn tunes the bandgap from 2.38 to 2.16 eV, creating oxygen defective vacancies in the crystal lattice. In addition, electrochemical analysis of the engineered cathode is studied in a half-cell device that is further developed into a zinc metal free zinc ion capattery (ZiC). The developed metal free capattery delivered a capacity of 120 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1, and a pouch cell is fabricated to power light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
Hierarchicalα-MnO2nanowires with oxygen vacancies grown on carbon fiber have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method with the assistance of Ti4+ions. Ti4+ions play an important role in controlling the morphology and crystalline structure of MnO2. The morphology and structure of the as-synthesized MnO2could be tuned fromδ-MnO2nanosheets to hierarchicalα-MnO2nanowires with the help of Ti4+ions. Based on its fascinating properties, such as many oxygen vacancies, high specific surface area and the interconnected porous structure, theα-MnO2electrode delivers a high specific capacitance of 472 F g-1at a current density of 1 A g-1and the rate capability of 57.6% (from 1 to 16 A g-1). The assembled symmetric supercapacitor based onα-MnO2electrode exhibits remarkable performance with a high energy density of 44.5 Wh kg-1at a power density of 2.0 kW kg-1and good cyclic stability (92.6% after 10 000 cycles). This work will provide a reference for exploring and designing high-performance MnO2materials.

Abstract
With the continuous development of green energy, society is increasingly demanding advanced energy storage devices. Manganese-based asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) can deliver high energy density while possessing high power density. However, the structural instability hampers the wider application of manganese dioxide in ASCs. A novel MnO2-based electrode material was designed in this study. We synthesized a MnO2/carbon cloth electrode, CC@NMO, with NH4+ ion pre-intercalation through a one-step hydrothermal method. The pre-intercalation of NH4+ stabilizes the MnO2 interlayer structure, expanding the electrode stable working potential window to 0-1.1 V and achieving a remarkable mass specific capacitance of 181.4 F g-1. Furthermore, the ASC device fabricated using the CC@NMO electrode and activated carbon electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical properties. The CC@NMO//AC achieves a high energy density of 63.49 Wh kg-1 and a power density of 949.8 W kg-1. Even after cycling 10,000 times at 10 A g-1, the device retains 81.2% of its capacitance. This work sheds new light on manganese dioxide-based asymmetric supercapacitors and represents a significant contribution for future research on them.

Abstract
The designability of the porous structure of carbon material makes it a popular material for zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs). However, the micropore confinement effect leads to sluggish kinetics and is not well resolved yet. In this work, a pore-size controllable carbon material was designed to enhance ion accessibility. The experimental and calculated results revealed that suitable pore sizes and defects were beneficial to ion transfer/adsorption. Meanwhile, oxygen-containing functional groups could introduce a pseudocapacitance reaction. Its large specific surface area and interconnecting network structure could shorten the ion/electron transfer length to reach high ion adsorption capacity and fast kinetic behavior. When used as a zinc-ion hybrid capacitor cathode material, it showed 9.9 kW kg-1 power density and 100 W h kg-1 energy density. Even at 5 A g-1, after 50 000 cycles, there was still 93% capacity retention. Systemic ex situ characterization and first-principles calculations indicated that the excellent electrochemical performance is attributed to the electric double layer capacitance (EDLC) - pseudocapacitance coupled mechanism via the introduction of an appropriate amount of oxygen-containing functional groups. This work provides a robust design for pore engineering and mechanistic insights into rapid zinc-ion storage in carbon materials.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-metal batteries are considered to have the potential for energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. However, the practical applications of zinc batteries are limited by dendrite growth and side reactions. Epitaxial growth is considered an effective method for stabilizing Zn anode, especially for manipulating the (002) plane of deposited zinc. However, (002) texture zinc is difficult to achieve stable cycle at high capacity due to its large lattice distortion and uneven electric field distribution. Here, a novel zinc anode with highly (101) texture (denoted as (101)-Zn) is constructed. Due to unique directional guidance and strong bonding effect, (101)-Zn can achieve dense vertical electroepitaxy in near-neutral electrolytes. In addition, the low grain boundary area inhibits the occurrence of side reactions. The resultant (101)-Zn symmetric cells exhibit excellent stability over 5300 h (4 mA cm-2 for 2 mAh cm-2 ) and 330 h (15 mA cm-2 for 10 mAh cm-2 ). Meanwhile, the cycle life of Zn//MnO2 full cell is meaningfully improved over 1000 cycles.

Abstract
The intrinsically low electrical conductivity and poor structural fragility of MnO2 have significantly hampered the zinc storage performance. In this work, Ba2+-implanted δ-MnO2 nanosheets have been hydrothermally grown on a carbon cloth (Ba-MnO2@CC) as an extremely stable and efficient cathode material of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The three-dimensionally porous architecture composed of interwoven thin MnO2 nanosheets effectively shortens the electron/ion transport distances, enlarges the electrode/electrolyte contact area, and increases the active sites for the electrochemical reaction. Meanwhile, Ba2+ could function as an interlayer pillar to stabilize the crystal structure of MnO2. Consequently, the as-optimized Ba-MnO2@CC exhibits remarkable Zn2+ storage capabilities, such as a high capacity (305 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1), prolonged lifespan (95% retention after a 200-cycling test), and superb rate capability. The binder-free cathode is also applicable for flexible energy storage devices with attractive properties. The present investigation provides important insights into designing advanced cathode materials toward wearable electronics.

Abstract
Zinc ion hybrid capacitors suffer from lack of reversibility and dendrite formation. An electrolyte, based on a solution of a zinc salt in acetonitrile and tetramethylene sulfone, allows smooth zinc deposition with high coulombic efficiency in a Zn||stainless steel cell (99.6% for 2880 cycles at 1.0 mA cm-2 , 1.0 mAh cm-2 ). A Zn||Zn cell operates stably for at least 7940 h at 1.0 mA cm-2 with an area capacity of 10 mAh cm-2 , or 648 h at 90% depth of discharge and 1 mA cm-2 , 9.0 mAh cm-2 . Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the reason for the excellent reversibility: The zinc cation is only weakly solvated than in pure tetramethylene sulfone with the closest atoms at 3.3 to 3.8 Å. With this electrolyte, a zinc||activated-carbon hybrid capacitor exhibits an operating voltage of 2.0 to 2.5 V, an energy-density of 135 Wh kg-1 and a power-density of 613 W kg-1 at 0.5 A g-1 . At the very high current-density of 15 A g-1 , 29.3 Wh kg-1 and 14 250 W kg-1 are achieved with 81.2% capacity retention over 9000 cycles.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) is an important active material for energy storage. Constructing microsphere-structured MnO2 is key for practical application due to the high tapping density for high volumetric energy density. However, the unstable structure and poor electrical conductivity hinder the development of MnO2 microspheres. Herein, Poly 3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT) is painted conformally on ε-MnO2 microspheres to stabilize the structure and enhance the electrical conductivity via in-situ chemical polymerization. When used for Zinc ion batteries (ZIBs), the obtained material (named MOP-5) with high tapping density (1.04 g cm-3) delivers a superior volumetric energy density (342.9 mWh cm-3) and excellent cyclic stability (84.5% after 3500 cycles). Moreover, we find the structure transformation of ε-MnO2 to ZnMn3O7 during the initial few cycles of charge and discharge, and the ZnMn3O7 provides more reaction sites for Zinc ions from analysis of the energy storage mechanism. The material design and theoretical analysis of MnO2 in this work may provide a new idea for future commercial applications of aqueous ZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-based batteries (AZBs) have attracted intensive attention. However, to explore advanced cathode materials with in-depth elucidation of their charge storage mechanisms, improve energy storage capacity, and construct novel cell systems remain a great challenge. Herein, a new pseudocapacitive multiple perovskite fluorides (ABF3 ) cathode is designed, represented by KMF-(IV, V, and VI; M = NiCoMnZn/-Mg/-MgFe), and constructed Zn//KMF-(IV, V, and VI) AZBs and their flexible devices. Ex situ tests have revealed a typical bulk phase conversion mechanism of KMF-VI electrode for charge storage in alkaline media dominated by redox-active Ni/Co/Mn species, with transformation of ABF3 nanocrystals into amorphous metal oxide/(oxy)hydroxide nanosheets. By employing single or bipolar redox electrolyte strategies of 20 mm [Fe(CN)6 ]3- or/and 10 mm SO3 2- /Cu[(NH3 )4 ]2+ acting on KMF-(IV, V, and VI) cathode and Zn anode, the AZBs show an improved energy storage owing to additional capacity contribution of redox electrolytes. The as-designed Zn//polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-KOH-K3 [Fe(CN)6 ]//KMF-(IV, V, and VI) redox gel electrolytes-assisting flexible AZBs (RGE-FAZBs) exhibit remarkable performance under different bending angles because of slight dissolution corrosion of zinc anode compared with liquid electrolytes. Overall, the work demonstrates the novel idea of conversion-type multiple ABF3 cathode for redox electrolytes-assisting AZBs (RE-AZBs) and their flexible systems, showing great significance on electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Although there are many studies on the preparation and electrochemical properties of the different crystal forms of manganese dioxide, there are few studies on their preparation by a liquid phase method and the influence of their physical and chemical properties on their electrochemical performance. In this paper, five crystal forms of manganese dioxide were prepared by using manganese sulfate as a manganese source and the difference of their physical and chemical properties was studied by phase morphology, specific surface area, pore size, pore volume, particle size and surface structure. The different crystal forms of manganese dioxide were prepared as electrode materials, and their specific capacitance composition was obtained by performing CV and EIS in a three-electrode system, introducing kinetic calculation and analyzing the principle of electrolyte ions in the electrode reaction process. The results show that δ-MnO2 has the largest specific capacitance due to its layered crystal structure, large specific surface area, abundant structural oxygen vacancies and interlayer bound water, and its capacity is mainly controlled by capacitance. Although the tunnel of the γ-MnO2 crystal structure is small, its large specific surface area, large pore volume and small particle size make it have a specific capacitance that is only inferior to δ-MnO2, and the diffusion contribution in the capacity accounts for nearly half, indicating it also has the characteristics of battery materials. α-MnO2 has a larger crystal tunnel structure, but its capacity is lower due to the smaller specific surface area and less structural oxygen vacancies. ε-MnO2 has a lower specific capacitance is not only the same disadvantage as α-MnO2, but also the disorder of its crystal structure. The tunnel size of β-MnO2 is not conducive to the interpenetration of electrolyte ions, but its high oxygen vacancy concentration makes its contribution of capacitance control obvious. EIS data shows that δ-MnO2 has the smallest charge transfer impedance and bulk diffusion impedance, while the two impedances of γ-MnO2 were the largest, which shows that its capacity performance has great potential for improvement. Combined with the calculation of electrode reaction kinetics and the performance test of five crystal capacitors and batteries, it is shown that δ-MnO2 is more suitable for capacitors and γ-MnO2 is more suitable for batteries.

Abstract
Li/CFx battery is one of the most promising lithium primary batteries (LPBs) which yields the highest energy density but with poor rate capability. This Achilles'' heel hinders the large-scale applications of Li/CFx batteries. This work first reports a facile chemical modification method of CFx with δ-MnO2 . Having benefited from the chemical bonding, the electrochemical performance at high-rate discharge is remarkably enhanced without compromising the specific capacity. The coin cells exhibit an energy density of 1.94 × 103 Wh kg-1 at 0.2 C, which is approaching the theoretical energy density of commercial fluorinated graphite (2.07 × 103 Wh kg-1 ). A power density of 5.49 × 104 W kg-1 at 40 C associated with an energy density of 4.39 × 102 Wh kg-1 , which is among the highest value of Li/CFx batteries, are obtained. Besides, the punch batteries achieve an ultrahigh power density of 4.39 × 104 W kg-1 with an energy density of 7.60 × 102 Wh kg-1 at 30 C. The intrinsic reasons for this outstanding electrochemical performance, which are known as the fast Li+ diffusion kinetics guided by thin δ-MnO2 flakes and the low formation energy barrier caused by chemical bonding, are explored by the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Over the past few years, the flexible quasi-solid-state zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (FQSS ZHSCs) have been found to be ideal for wearable electronics applications due to their high areal capacitance and energy density. The assembly of desirable ZHSCs devices that have promising practical applications is of high importance, whereas it is still challenging to assemble ZHSCs devices. In this study, a ZHSC that exhibited ultrahigh areal capacitance and high stability was developed by using an active carbon cloth (ACC) cathode, which could improve ionic adsorption. The as-obtained ACC cathode had an energy storage mechanism due to the electrical double-layer capacitive behavior of Zn2+, which was accompanied by the dissolution/deposition of Zn4SO4(OH)6·5H2O. The ACC//Zn@ACC ZHSC device exhibited an areal capacitance of 2437 mF cm-2 (81 F cm-3, 203 F g-1 under the mass of ACC with ∼12 mg cm-2) at 1 mA cm-2, an areal energy density of 1.354 mWh cm-2 at 1 mW cm-2, as well as high stability (with an insignificant capacitance decline after 20000 cycles), which was demonstrated to outperform the existing ZHSCs. Furthermore, the assembled flexible device still had competitive capacitance, energy density and service life when integrated into a FQSS ZHSC. When applied in practice, the device could achieve high mechanical flexibility, wearable stability and output. This study can inspire the development of the FQSS ZHSC device to satisfy the demands for wearable energy storage devices with high performance.

Abstract
Zn ion capacitors (ZICs) composed of a carbon-based cathode and a Zn anode are one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their inherent safety and high-power output. However, their poor cycling stability originating from the Zn dendrites' formation and low energy density limited by insufficient activated carbon properties remain major challenges for development of high-performance ZICs. Hence, we constructed a facile and effective strategy to alleviate "edge effects" and suppress Zn dendrites by growing ZnO nanowire arrays on Zn foil (ZnO@Zn) using a horizontally potentiostatic anodizing technique. The electrochemical characterizations and in situ optical microscopy observation revealed that the introduction of ZnO nanowire arrays can significantly suppress the growth of Zn dendrites and enhance the cycling stability of the Zn anode. The superfine and interlaced ZnO nanowire arrays provide uniform nucleation sites and high electrical conductivity for the Zn metal anode, reducing the local current density and promoting the rapid diffusion and migration of Zn ions on the Zn anode surface. As a result, the ZnO@Zn electrode has a very low nucleation overpotential and excellent cycle stability, far superior to the bare Zn anode. Furthermore, a ZnO@Zn//NPHC ZIC assembled with an N, P-codoped hard carbon (NPHC) cathode delivers a high specific capacity of 110.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and achieves outstanding cycling stability with 90% capacity retention together with ∼100% Coulombic efficiency after 20000 cycles.

Chemistry-mechanics-geometry coupling in positive electrode materials: a scale-bridging perspective for mitigating degradation in lithium-ion batteries through materials design. Chem Sci 2023; 14:458-484. [PMID: 36741524 PMCID: PMC9848157 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc04157j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite their rapid emergence as the dominant paradigm for electrochemical energy storage, the full promise of lithium-ion batteries is yet to be fully realized, partly because of challenges in adequately resolving common degradation mechanisms. Positive electrodes of Li-ion batteries store ions in interstitial sites based on redox reactions throughout their interior volume. However, variations in the local concentration of inserted Li-ions and inhomogeneous intercalation-induced structural transformations beget substantial stress. Such stress can accumulate and ultimately engender substantial delamination and transgranular/intergranular fracture in typically brittle oxide materials upon continuous electrochemical cycling. This perspective highlights the coupling between electrochemistry, mechanics, and geometry spanning key electrochemical processes: surface reaction, solid-state diffusion, and phase nucleation/transformation in intercalating positive electrodes. In particular, we highlight recent findings on tunable material design parameters that can be used to modulate the kinetics and thermodynamics of intercalation phenomena, spanning the range from atomistic and crystallographic materials design principles (based on alloying, polymorphism, and pre-intercalation) to emergent mesoscale structuring of electrode architectures (through control of crystallite dimensions and geometry, curvature, and external strain). This framework enables intercalation chemistry design principles to be mapped to degradation phenomena based on consideration of mechanics coupling across decades of length scales. Scale-bridging characterization and modeling, along with materials design, holds promise for deciphering mechanistic understanding, modulating multiphysics couplings, and devising actionable strategies to substantially modify intercalation phase diagrams in a manner that unlocks greater useable capacity and enables alleviation of chemo-mechanical degradation mechanisms.

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
The layered MnO2 is intensively investigated as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), but its commercialization is severely impeded by the challenging issues of the inferior intrinsic electronic conductivity and undesirable structural stability during the charge-discharge cycles. Herein, the lab-prepared flexible carbon membrane with highly electrical conductivity is first used as the matrix to generate ultrathin δ-MnO2 with an enlarged interlayer spacing induced by the K+ -intercalation to potentially alleviate the structural damage caused by H+ /Zn2+ co-intercalation, resulting in a high reversible capacity of 190 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1 over 1000 cycles. The in situ/ex-situ characterizations and electrochemical analysis confirm that the enlarged interlayer spacing can provide free space for the reversible deintercalation/intercalation of H+ /Zn2+ in the structure of δ-MnO2 , and H+ /Zn2+ co-intercalation mechanism contributes to the enhanced charge storage in the layered K+ -intercalated δ-MnO2 . This work provides a plausible way to construct a flexible carbon membrane-based cathode for high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn (zinc) metal batteries have gotten a lot of interest and research because of their great volumetric capacity, low production cost, and high use safety. However, the coulombic efficiency of the Zn metal anode is low due to Zn dendrites formed during the charging and discharging processes of the battery, and the corrosion problem of the Zn anode in the electrolyte also reduces the battery's cycling stability and hinders its practical application. In this paper, InF3 has been used to decorate the surface of Zn foil, and In (indium) and ZnF2 coatings have been introduced to the surface of metal Zn simultaneously. After 1400 h of plating and stripping cycles, a symmetrical battery assembled from the modified Zn foil can still maintain a low voltage hysteresis of 30 mV. The Zn-ion capacitor assembled by the InF3-modified Zn foil (Zn@In&ZnF2) and activated carbon delivers an energy density of 33.5 Wh kg-1 and a power density of 1608 W kg-1 at a current density of 2 A g-1 and can still maintain almost 100% capacity after 10,000 cycles. This work is helpful to improve the cycling stability and the corrosion problem of aqueous Zn-based batteries.

Abstract
Multifunctional batteries have attracted increasing attention, offering additional functionalities beyond the conventional batteries. Herein, we report a fiber-shaped Zn ion battery that not only acts as a high-performance power supply but also provides a sensing function to monitor human motions. Titanium fiber coated with α-MnO2 nanoflowers is exploited as the cathode for the fiber-shaped Zn ion battery, taking full advantage of such unique three-dimensional nanoflower structures of α-MnO2 with a large electrochemically active surface area and fast electrochemical reaction kinetics. Thus, the obtained fiber-shaped Zn ion battery shows a high capacity of 280 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, resulting in a notable energy density of 396 Wh kg-1, good stability (capacity retention of 80.6% after 300 cycles), and high flexibility. As a demonstration, an electronic watch and five LEDs are successfully driven by two fiber-shaped Zn ion batteries. Furthermore, the fiber-shaped Zn ion battery is integrated with a strain sensor based on a carbon nanotube/polydimethylsiloxane film, offering good sensitivity to monitor motions of different body parts, such as the wrist, finger, elbow, and knee. This work provides insights into multifunctional battery applications for next-generation wearable electronics.

[PMID: 36014721 PMCID: PMC9414395 DOI: 10.3390/nano12162856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage devices are ubiquitous for personal electronics, electric vehicles, smart grids, and future clean energy demand. SCs are EES devices with excellent power density and superior cycling ability. Herein, we focused on the fabrication and DFT calculations of Na3-δ-MnO2 nanocomposite, which has layered MnO2 redox-active sites, supported on carbon cloth. MnO2 has two-dimensional diffusion channels and is not labile to structural changes during intercalation; therefore, it is considered the best substrate for intercalation. Cation pre-intercalation has proven to be an effective way of increasing inter-layered spacing, optimizing the crystal structure, and improving the relevant electrochemical behavior of asymmetric aqueous supercapacitors. We successfully established Na+ pre-intercalated δ-MnO2 nanosheets on carbon cloth via one-pot hydrothermal synthesis. As a cathode, our prepared material exhibited an extended potential window of 0-1.4 V with a remarkable specific capacitance of 546 F g-1(300 F g-1 at 50 A g-1). Moreover, when this cathode was accompanied by an N-AC anode in an asymmetric aqueous supercapacitor, it illustrated exceptional performance (64 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 1225 W kg-1) and incomparable potential window of 2.4 V and 83% capacitance retention over 10,000 cycles with a great Columbic efficiency.

Abstract
Halide-free, water-in-salt electrolytes (WiSEs) composed of potassium acetate (KAc) and zinc acetate (ZnAc2 ) are investigated as electrolytes in zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSs). Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that water molecules are mostly non-interacting with each other in the highly concentrated WiSEs, while "bulk-like water" regions are present in the dilute electrolyte. Among the various concentrated electrolytes investigated, the 30 m KAc and 1 m ZnAc2 electrolyte (30K1Zn) grants the best performance in terms of reversibility and stability of Zn plating/stripping while the less concentrated electrolyte cannot suppress corrosion of Zn and hydrogen evolution. The ZHSs utilizing 30K1Zn, in combination with a commercial activated carbon (AC) positive electrode and Zn as the negative electrode, deliver a capacity of 65 mAh g-1 (based on the AC weight) at a current density of 5 A g-1 . They also offer an excellent capacity retention over 10 000 cycles and an impressive coulombic efficiency (≈100%).

Abstract
Aqueous Mn2+ /MnO2 -based batteries have attracted enormous attentions in aqueous energy storage fields, owing to their high working voltage and theoretical capacity (616 mAh g-1 ) brought by the two-electron reaction (Mn2+ /Mn4+ ). However, there are currently several tricky challenges facing Mn2+ /MnO2 -based batteries: their complicated working mechanisms, existing issues, and optimization strategies. This Perspective aims to provide a mechanistic understanding and an overview of the insufficiency, optimization, and future development for Mn2+ /MnO2 -based batteries. The existing issues and deficiency in Mn2+ /MnO2 -based batteries have been systematically analyzed, and optimization strategies have also been rationally summarized and discussed with deep insights. Also, the often-overlooked optimized objects and aspects have been highlighted with unique perspectives. The proposals of testing methods and performance assessment are presented, containing different degradation mechanisms. Based on the above points, this Perspective will provide guidance and contribute to the further development of aqueous Mn2+ /MnO2 -based batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion hybrid capacitors (aZHCs) are of great potential for large-scale energy storage and flexible wearable devices, of which the specific capacity and energy density need to be further enhanced for practical applications. Herein, a urea-mediated foaming strategy is reported for the efficient synthesis of monoliths consisting of nitrogen-enriched mesoporous carbon nanosheets (NPCNs) by prefoaming drying a solution made of polyvinylpyrrolidone, zinc nitrate, and urea at low temperatures, foaming and annealing at high temperatures, and subsequent acid etching. NPCNs have a large lateral size of ≈40 µm, thin thickness of ≈55 nm, abundant micropores and mesopores (≈3.8 nm), and a high N-doping value of 9.7 at.%. The NPCNs as the cathode in aZHCs provide abundant zinc storage sites involving both physical and chemical adsorption/desorption of Zn2+ ions, and deliver high specific capacities of 262 and 115 mAh g-1 at 0.2 and 10 A g-1 , and a remarkable areal capacity of ≈0.5 mAh cm-2 with a mass loading of 5.3 mg cm-2 , outperforming most carbon cathodes reported thus far. Moreover, safe and flexible NPCNs based quasi-solid-state devices are fabricated, which can withstand drilling and mechanical bending, suggesting their potential applications in wearable devices.

Abstract
As a new generation of Zn-ion storage systems, Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs) garner tremendous interests recently from researchers due to the perfect integration of batteries and supercapacitors. ZHSCs have excellent integration of high energy density and power density, which seamlessly bridges the gap between batteries and supercapacitors, becoming one of the most viable future options for large-scale equipment and portable electronic devices. However, the currently reported two configurations of ZHSCs and corresponding energy storage mechanisms still lack systematic analyses. Herein, this review will be prudently organized from the perspectives of design strategies, electrode configurations, energy storage mechanisms, recent advances in electrode materials, electrolyte behaviors and further applications (micro or flexible devices) of ZHSCs. The synthesis processes and electrochemical properties of well-designed Zn anodes, capacitor-type electrodes and novel Zn-ion battery-type cathodes are comprehensively discussed. Finally, a brief summary and outlook for the further development of ZHSCs are presented as well. This review will provide timely access for researchers to the recent works regarding ZHSCs.

Abstract
The core-shell structured CuO@NiCoMn-LDH electrode was synthesized by wet chemistry, calcination, and electrodeposition. The synergistic effect of CuO nanowires and NiCoMn-LDH nanosheets has a significant enhancement effect on electrode materials. At the same time, the Mn content plays a decisive role in regulating and optimizing the morphology and electrochemical performance of electrode materials. The optimized CuO@NiCoMn-LDH, a binder-free electrode, exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. It displays a high specific capacity of 2.66 mA h cm-2 (20.7 F cm-2, 336.71 mA h g-1) at 10 mA cm-2 and satisfactory cycling stability (under a current density of 30 mA cm-2, after 3000 cycles, the capacity retention rate is 94.82%). In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is built using the CuO@NiCoMn-LDH electrode as the positive electrode and Fe3O4@C/CuO electrode as the negative electrode to demonstrate its practical applicability in energy storage devices. At a power density of 4.79 mW cm-2, the ASC device can achieve a maximum energy density of 2.67 mW h cm-2. Two ASC devices are used as the power source of the light emitting diode (LED), which can emit light continuously for 15 minutes, showing great potential in energy storage device applications.

Abstract
The development of novel electrochemical energy storage devices is a grand challenge. Here, an aqueous ammonium-ion hybrid supercapacitor (A-HSC), consisting of a layered δ-MnO2 based cathode, an activated carbon cloth anode, and an aqueous (NH4 )2 SO4 electrolyte is developed. The aqueous A-HSC demonstrates an ultrahigh areal capacitance of 1550 mF cm-2 with a wide voltage window of 2.0 V. An amenable peak areal energy density (861.2 μWh cm-2 ) and a decent capacitance retention (72.2% after 5000 cycles) are also achieved, surpassing traditional metal-ion hybrid supercapacitors. Ex situ characterizations reveal that NH4 + intercalation/deintercalation in the layered δ-MnO2 is accompanied by hydrogen bond formation/breaking. This work proposes a new paradigm for electrochemical energy storage.

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.

Abstract
Recently, aqueous rechargeable batteries employing ammonium-ions (NH4+) as charge carriers have received increasing interest because of their merits of eco-friendly, low cost and sustainability. However, the supercapacitor based on NH4+ charge carriers has rarely been reported probably owing to the lack of a suitable system to achieve acceptable capacitance and cycle performance for NH4+ storage. Herein, we develop a dual-polymer strategy to boost the electrochemical properties of hydrated vanadium oxide (HVO) for outstanding NH4+ storages based on a supercapacitor. One polymer polyaniline (PANI) is intercalated into the interlayer space of HVO (11.0 Å) to synthesize PANI-intercalation-HVO (PVO) with the expanded interlamellar spacing of 13.9 Å, which enhances the kinetics and stabilizes the structure during the NH4+ (de)intercalation. The capacitance at 1 A·g-1 is significantly improved from 156F·g-1 (HVO) to 351F·g-1 (PVO). The other polymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is used to get the quasi-solid-state (QSS) PVA/NH4Cl electrolyte, in which the cycle stability of PVO electrode is effectively improved. The PVO exhibits the capacitance retentions of 82% after 2000 cycles and 56% after 10,000 cycles, whereas this value is only 29% after 3000 cycles in NH4Cl electrolyte. The findings reveal that this strategy can effectively reduce the diffusion resistance of ammonium ions and improve the energy storage efficiency of PVO. The flexible QSS PVO//active carbon hybrid supercapacitor (FQSS PVO//AC HSC) device is assembled and exhibits outstanding capacitance, long cycle stability, good mechanical stability and potential practical applications. This work may open up a new window for the study on the improved electrochemical properties of electrode materials for NH4+ storage.

Abstract
Zn-based electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems have received tremendous attention in recent years, but their zinc anodes are seriously plagued by the issues of zinc dendrite and side reactions (e.g., corrosion and hydrogen evolution). Herein, we report a novel strategy of employing zincophilic Cu nanowire networks to stabilize zinc anodes from multiple aspects. According to experimental results, COMSOL simulation and density functional theory calculations, the Cu nanowire networks covering on zinc anode surface not only homogenize the surface electric field and Zn2+ concentration field, but also inhibit side reactions through their hydrophobic feature. Meanwhile, facets and edge sites of the Cu nanowires, especially the latter ones, are revealed to be highly zincophilic to induce uniform zinc nucleation/deposition. Consequently, the Cu nanowire networks-protected zinc anodes exhibit an ultralong cycle life of over 2800 h and also can continuously operate for hundreds of hours even at very large charge/discharge currents and areal capacities (e.g., 10 mA cm-2 and 5 mAh cm-2), remarkably superior to bare zinc anodes and most of currently reported zinc anodes, thereby enabling Zn-based EES devices to possess high capacity, 16,000-cycle lifespan and rapid charge/discharge ability. This work provides new thoughts to realize long-life and high-rate zinc anodes.

Novel K 2Ti 8O 17 Anode via Na +/Al 3+ Co-Intercalation Mechanism for Rechargeable Aqueous Al-Ion Battery with Superior Rate Capability. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11092332. [PMID: 34578647 PMCID: PMC8464791 DOI: 10.3390/nano11092332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2021] [Revised: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
A promising aqueous aluminum ion battery (AIB) was assembled using a novel layered K2Ti8O17 anode against an activated carbon coated on a Ti mesh cathode in an AlCl3-based aqueous electrolyte. The intercalation/deintercalation mechanism endowed the layered K2Ti8O17 as a promising anode for rechargeable aqueous AIBs. NaAc was introduced into the AlCl3 aqueous electrolyte to enhance the cycling stability of the assembled aqueous AIB. The as-designed AIB displayed a high discharge voltage near 1.6 V, and a discharge capacity of up to 189.6 mAh g−1. The assembled AIB lit up a commercial light-emitting diode (LED) lasting more than one hour. Inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) were employed to investigate the intercalation/deintercalation mechanism of Na+/Al3+ ions in the aqueous AIB. The results indicated that the layered structure facilitated the intercalation/deintercalation of Na+/Al3+ ions, thus providing a high-rate performance of the K2Ti8O17 anode. The diffusion-controlled electrochemical characteristics and the reduction of Ti4+ species during the discharge process illustrated the intercalation/deintercalation mechanism of the K2Ti8O17 anode. This study provides not only insight into the charge–discharge mechanism of the K2Ti8O17 anode but also a novel strategy to design rechargeable aqueous AIBs.

Abstract
A power supply with the characteristics of portability and safety will be one of the dominating mainstreams for future wearable electronics and implantable biomedical devices. The conventional energy storage devices with typical sandwich structures have complicated components and low mechanical properties, suffering from the apparent performance degradation during deformation and hindering the possibility of implanting biomedical units. Herein, a novel all-in-one structure ″paper-like″ zinc ion battery (ZIB) was designed and assembled from an electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanomembrane (as the separator) with in situ deposited anode (zinc nanosheets) and cathode (MnO2 nanosheets), which ensures the monolith under different bending states by avoiding the relative sliding and detaching between the integrated layers. Benefiting from the well-designed all-in-one construction and electrodes, the resultant all-in-one ZIB (AZIB) features an ultrathin thickness (about 97 μm), superior specific capacity of 353.8 mAh g-1 (at 0.1 mA cm-2), and outstanding cycling stability (98.7% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 A cm-2). And the achieved volumetric energy density is as high as 17.5 mWh cm-3 at a power density of 116.4 mW cm-3. Impressively, the concept of wearable electronic applications of the obtained AZIB was fully demonstrated with excellent flexibility and remarkable temperature resistance under various severe conditions. Our AZIB may provide a versatile strategy for applying and developing flexible wearable electronics and implantable biomedical devices.

Abstract
With the surging development of flexible wearable and stretchable electronic devices, flexible energy-storage devices with excellent electrochemical properties are in great demand. Herein, a flexible Zn-ion battery comprised by hydrated zinc vanadium oxide/carbon cloth (ZnVOH/CC) as the cathode is developed, and it shows a high energy density, superior lifespan, and good safety. ZnVOH/CC is obtained by the in situ transformation of hydrated vanadium oxide/carbon cloth (VOH/CC) by an electrochemical method, and the intercalation pseudocapacitive reaction mechanism is discovered for ZnVOH/CC. The co-insertion/deinsertion of H+/Zn2+ is observed; the H+ insertion dominates in the initial discharge stage and the high-rate electrochemical process, while Zn2+ insertion dominates the following discharge stage and the low-rate electrochemical procedure. An ultrastable reversible capacity of 135 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 is obtained after 5000 cycles without capacity fading. Moreover, the as-assembled flexible zinc-ion battery can operate normally under rolled, folded, and punched conditions with superior safety. It is capable to deliver a high discharge capacity of 184 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 after 170 cycles. This work paves a new way for designing low-cost, safe, and quick-charging energy-storage devices for flexible electronics.

Abstract
Manganese-based oxide is arguably one of the most well-studied cathode materials for zinc-ion battery (ZIB) due to its wide oxidation states, cost-effectiveness, and matured synthesis process. As a result, there are numerous reports that show significant strides in the progress of Mn-based oxides as ZIB cathode. However, ironically, due to the sheer number of Mn-based oxides that have been published in recent years, there remain certain contemplations with regards to the electrochemical performance of each type of Mn-based oxides and their performance comparison among various Mn polymorphs and oxidation states. Thus, to provide a clearer indication of the development of Mn-based oxides, the recent progress in Mn-based oxides as ZIB cathode was summarized systematically in this Review. More specifically, (1) the classification of Mn-based oxides based on the oxidation states (i. e., MnO2 , Mn3 O4 , Mn2 O3 , and MnO), (2) their respective polymorphs (i. e., α-MnO2 and δ-MnO2 ) as ZIB cathode, (3) the modification strategies commonly employed to enhance the performance, and (4) the effects of these modification strategies on the performance enhancement were reviewed. Lastly, perspectives and outlook of Mn-based oxides as ZIB cathode were discussed at the end of this Review.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSs) are increasingly being studied as a novel electrochemical energy storage system with prominent electrochemical performance, high safety and low cost. Herein, high-energy and anti-self-discharge ZHSs are realized based on the fibrous carbon cathodes with hierarchically porous surface and O/N heteroatom functional groups. Hierarchically porous surface of the fabricated free-standing fibrous carbon cathodes not only provides abundant active sites for divalent ion storage, but also optimizes ion transport kinetics. Consequently, the cathodes show a high gravimetric capacity of 156 mAh g-1, superior rate capability (79 mAh g-1 with a very short charge/discharge time of 14 s) and exceptional cycling stability. Meanwhile, hierarchical pore structure and suitable surface functional groups of the cathodes endow ZHSs with a high energy density of 127 Wh kg-1, a high power density of 15.3 kW kg-1 and good anti-self-discharge performance. Mechanism investigation reveals that ZHS electrochemistry involves cation adsorption/desorption and Zn4SO4(OH)6·5H2O formation/dissolution at low voltage and anion adsorption/desorption at high voltage on carbon cathodes. The roles of these reactions in energy storage of ZHSs are elucidated. This work not only paves a way for high-performance cathode materials of ZHSs, but also provides a deeper understanding of ZHS electrochemistry.

Abstract
Miniaturized energy storage devices (MESDs) provide future solutions for powering dispersive electronics and small devices. Among them, aqueous zinc ion microbatteries (ZIMBs) are a type of promising MESDs because of their high-capacity Zn anode, safe and green aqueous electrolytes, and good battery performances. Herein, for the first time, a simple and powerful strategy to fabricate flexible ZIMBs based on tailored soft templates is reported, which are patterned by engraving and enables to design the ZIMBs featured with arbitrary shapes and on various substrates. The assembled ZIMBs employing α-MnS as the cathode materials and guar gum gel as the quasi-solid-state electrolyte exhibited very high areal specific capacity of up to 178 μAh cm-2 , a notable areal energy density of 322 μWh cm-2 and power density of 710 μW cm-2 . Footprint areas of the manufactured ZIMBs as small as 40 mm2 can be achieved. The proposed method based on the engraved soft templates provides a practical route for ZIMB and other MESD designs, which is critical for portable and wearable electronics development.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising portable and large-scale grid energy storage devices, as they are safe and economical. However, developing suitable ZIB cathode materials with excellent cycling performance characteristics remains a challenging task. Here, ammonium heptavanadate (NH4)2V7O16·3.2H2O (NHVO) nanosquares with mixed-valence V5+/V4+ as a cathode are developed for high-performance ZIBs. The layered NHVO shows a capacity of 362 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1, with a high energy density of 263.5 W h kg-1. It exhibits an initial specific capacity of 250.7 mA h g-1 at a current density of 4 A g-1 and retains 255 mA h g-1 capacity after 1000 charge/discharge cycles. The V7O16-based cathode was demonstrated with a phase transition to the V2O5-based cathode upon initial cycling. Moreover, the in situ generated V2O5-based cathodes show excellent electrochemical properties, which provide a different perspective on the electrochemical reaction of cathode materials for aqueous ZIBs.

Abstract
The urgent demand for cost-effective energy storage devices for large-scale applications has led to the development of several beyond-lithium energy storage systems (EESs). Among them, calcium-ion batteries (CIBs) are attractive due to abundant calcium resources, excellent volumetric and gravimetric capacities of Ca metal anode, and potential high energy density coming from the multivalent feature of Ca-ion. Therefore, the exploration of CIBs electrode materials and the construction of CIBs devices are gaining increasing research interest. Relevant publications cover a wide range of materials by both theoretical and experimental investigations, whereas the performances of rocking-chair CIBs have been unsatisfactory. Meanwhile, multi-ion strategies using more than one ion as the charge carrier have been demonstrated to be feasible and promising options in realizing room temperature CIBs. The summary and reflection of previous studies would provide useful information for future exploration and optimization. In this circumstance, this paper overviews the reported CIBs electrode materials, including both anode and cathode, and presents the latest progress of multi-ion strategies in CIBs. Fundamental challenges, potential solutions, and opportunities are accordingly proposed, mimicking other more mature EESs. This review may promote the development of electrode materials and accelerate the construction of low-cost and high-performance CIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising safe energy storage systems that have received considerable attention in recent years. Based on the electrochemical behavior of Zn2+ in the charging and discharging process, herein we review the research progress on anode materials for use in aqueous ZIBs based on two aspects: Zn deposition and Zn2+ intercalation. To date, Zn dendrite, corrosion, and passivation issues have restricted the development of aqueous ZIBs. However, many strategies have been developed, including structural design, interface protection of the Zn anode, Zn alloying, and using polymer electrolytes. The main aim is to stabilize the Zn stripping/plating layer and limit side reactions. Zn2+-intercalated anodes, with a high Zn2+ storage capacity to replace the current metal Zn anode, are also a potential option. Finally, some suggestions have been put forward for the subsequent optimization strategy, which are expected to promote further development of aqueous ZIBs.

Abstract
The core challenge of MnO2 as the cathode material of zinc-ion batteries remains to be their poor electrochemical kinetics and stability. Herein, MnO2 superfine nanowires (∼10 nm) with rich crystal defects (oxygen vacancies and cavities) are demonstrated to possess high efficient zinc-ion storage capability. Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that the defects facilitate the adsorption and diffusion of hydrogen/zinc for fast ion transportation and the build of a local electric field for improved electron migration. In addition, the superfine nanostructure could provide sufficient active sites and short diffusion pathways for further promotion of capacity and reaction kinetics of MnO2. Remarkably, the defect-enriched MnO2 nanowires manifest an energy density as high as 406 W h kg-1 and an excellent durability over 1000 cycles without noticeable capacity degradation. Mechanistic analysis substantiates a reversible coinsertion/extraction process of H+ and Zn2+ with a simultaneous deposition/dissolution of zinc sulfate hydroxide hydrate nanoflakes. This work could enrich the fundamental understanding of defect engineering and nanostructuring on the development of advanced MnO2 materials toward high-performance zinc-ion batteries.
