Abstract
Capacitive carbon cathodes deliver great potential for zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs) due to their resource abundance and structural versatility. However, the dimension mismatch between the micropores of carbons and hydrated Zn2+ ions often results in unsatisfactory charge storage capability. Here well-arranged heterodiatomic carbon superstructures are reported with compatible pore dimensions for activating Zn2+ ions, initiated by the supramolecular self-assembly of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine and cyanuric acid via in-plane hydrogen-bonds and out-of-plane π-π interactions. Flower-shaped carbon superstructures expose more surface-active motifs, continuous charge-transport routes, and more importantly, well-developed pores. The primary subnanopores of 0.82 nm are size-exclusively accessible for solvated Zn2+ ions (0.86 nm) to maximize spatial charge storage, while rich mesopores (1-3 nm) allow for high-kinetics ion migration with a low activation energy. Such favorable superstructure cathodes contribute to all-round performance improvement for ZHCs, including high energy density (158 Wh kg-1), fast-charging ability (50 A g-1), and excellent cyclic lifespan (100 000 cycles). An anion-cation hybrid charge storage mechanism is elucidated for superstructure cathode, which entails alternate physical uptake of Zn2+/CF3SO3 - at electroactive pores and bipedal chemical binding of Zn2+ to electronegative carbonyl/pyridine motifs. This work expands the design landscape of carbon superstructures for advanced energy storage.

Abstract
A dodecahedral activated N-doped porous carbon scaffold is synthesized and used for the nanoconfinement of Mg(BH4)2. The optimized mesoporous scaffold possesses an accumulated pore width of 2.65 nm, high specific surface area (3955.9 m2 g-1), and large pore volume (2.15 cm3 g-1), providing ample space for the confinement of Mg(BH4)2 particles and numerous surface active sites for interactions with the same. The confined Mg(BH4)2 system features a dehydrogenation onset temperature of 81.5 °C, an extremely high capacity of 10.2 wt% H2, and an almost single-step dehydrogenation profile. Moreover, the system exhibits superior capacity retention of 82.7% after 20 cycles at a moderate temperature of 250 °C. Precise activation control enables a transformation from microporous carbon materials to mesoporous ones, and hence the efficient nanoconfinement of Mg(BH4)2 and realization of one-step dehydrogenation. The evolution of borohydride intermediates is systematically revealed throughout the cycling process. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate defective N heteroatoms within the scaffold are vital in reducing the strength of B─H bonds, and the N-doped carbon can facilitate decomposition of the irreversible MgB12H12 intermediate. This study opens up new avenues for designing robust carbon scaffolds doped with heteroatoms and analyzing intermediate evolution in nanoconfined Mg-based borohydride systems.

Abstract
Affinity and storage capacity for zinc ions of the electrode materials are crucial factors on the properties of zinc ion hybrid capacitors (ZHICs). Wasted pulping liquor with abundant carbohydrates, lignin and inorganic matter served as a unique precursor to produce embedded oxygen-doped hierarchical porous carbon directly through a one-step carbonization process in this investigation. In carbonization process, lignin can serve effectively as the carbon framework, carbohydrates not only act as sacrificial templates but also offer a plentiful oxygen source which can increase the affinity for Zn2+, and sodium-containing inorganic substances plays a role as hard templates to optimize the pore structure. The resulting porous carbon under carbonization temperature of 800 °C shows a high specifical area of 2186 m2g-1 with oxygen content of 4.8 %, which can reduce the adsorption energy of Zn2+ from -0.16 eV to -0.32 eV through electrochemical techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the incorporation of oxygen was demonstrated to enhance the adsorption and desorption kinetics of Zn2+, suggesting a bright future for application in the domain of energy storage. The resulting ZIHC assembly showcases a notable energy density of 84.6 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 359 W kg-1. Remarkably, even after 10,000 charge and discharge cycles, it exhibits exceptional cycle stability with retaining 86.56 % of its capacity. Consequently, this approach provides fresh insights for exploring the facile and commercial fabrication of biomass-derived cathodes for ZIHCs, thereby propelling the progress of eco-friendly energy storage devices.

Abstract
Zinc hybrid supercapacitors (Zn-HSCs) hold immense potential toward the next-generation energy storage systems, effectively spanning the divide between conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors. Unfortunately, the energy density of most of Zn-HSCs has not yet rivalled the levels observed in LIBs. The electrochemical performance of aqueous Zn-HSCs can be enhanced through the chemical functionalization of graphene-based cathode materials with thiol moieties as they will be highly suitable for favoring Zn2+ adsorption/desorption. Here, a single-step reaction is employed to synthesize thiol-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGOSH), incorporating both oxygen functional groups (OFGs) and thiol functionalities, as demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies. Electrochemical analysis reveals that rGOSH cathodes exhibit a specific capacitance (540 F g-1) and specific capacity (139 mAh g-1) at 0.1 A g-1 as well as long-term stability, with over 92% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles, outperforming chemically reduced graphene oxide (CrGO). Notably, rGOSH electrodes displayed an exceptional maximum energy density of 187.6 Wh kg-1 and power density of 48.6 kW kg-1. Overall, this study offers an unprecedented powerful strategy for the design and optimization of cathode materials, paving the way for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions to meet the increasing demands of modern energy applications.

Abstract
Understanding the self-stacking interactions in precursors can facilitate the preparation of high-performance carbon materials and promote the commercial application of zinc ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs). Here, a π-conjugated molecule mediated pyrolysis strategy is presented to prepare carbon materials. Taking intermolecular force simulation (reduced density gradient plots) as a guide, the relationship between the self-stacking interactions in π-conjugated molecules and the structural parameters of carbon materials can be extrapolated. The resultant self-doped hierarchical porous carbons (NHPCs) derived from 1, 8, 4, 5-naphthalenetetracarboxdiimide with suitable self-stacking interactions empower the highest specific surface areas (2038 m2/g) and surface opening macropores. The NHPCs-based ZIHCs deliver a high capacity of 220 mAh/g, a high energy density of 149.5 Wh kg-1 and a super-stable cycle lifespan with 93.2 % capacity retention after 200, 000 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance roots in the superior hierarchical porous structure with surface opening macropores, which guarantees the structural stability of carbon cathodes upon repeated rounds. Meanwhile, the heteroatom doping further relieves the kinetics concern of Zn2+ uptake/removal to enhance O-Zn-N binding particularly at high discharge currents. Besides, the proton-assisted Zn2+ dual-ion storage mechanism plays an essential role in the energy storage process. This work demonstrates a facile synthesis method and advances the fundamental understanding of its dual-ion storage mechanism.

Abstract
The lack of cathode materials with satisfactory Zn2+ storage capability substantially hinders the realization of high-performance aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs). Herein, we propose a facile KMnO4 template-assisted KOH activation strategy to prepare a novel oxygen-enriched hierarchically porous carbon (HPC-1-4). This strategy efficiently converts coal tar pitch (CTP) into a well-tuned carbon material with a large specific surface area of 3019 m2 g-1 and a high oxygen content of 9.20 at%, which is conducive to providing rich active sites, rapid charge transport, and appreciable pseudocapacitance for Zn-ion storage. Thus, the as-fabricated HPC-1-4-based aqueous ZHC exhibits prominent performance, including a high gravimetric capacity (206.7 mAh g-1 at 0.25 A g-1), a remarkable energy density (153.4 Wh kg-1 at 184.2 W kg-1), and an impressive power output (15240 W kg-1 at 63.5 Wh kg-1). In-depth ex-situ characterizations indicate that the excellent electrochemical properties of ZHCs are due to the synergistic effect of the Zn2+ adsorption mechanism and reversible chemisorption. In addition, the assembled quasi-solid-state device demonstrates excellent electrochemical stability of up to 100% capacity retention over 50000 cycles, accompanied with a desirable energy density of 115.6 Wh kg-1. The facile preparation method of converting CTP into carbonaceous functional materials has advanced the development of efficient and eco-friendly energy storage technologies.

Abstract
Designing zincophilic and stable carbon nanostructures is critical for Zn-ion storage with superior capacitive activity and durability. Here, we report solvent-guided Lewis acid-base self-assembly to customize heterodiatomic carbon nanotubes, triggered by the reaction between iron chloride and α,α'-dichloro-p-xylene. In this strategy, modulating the solvent-precursor interaction through the optimization of solvent formula stimulates differential thermodynamic solubilization, growth kinetics, and self-assembly behaviors of Lewis polymeric chains, thereby accurately tailoring carbon nanoarchitectures to evoke superior Zn-ion storage. Featured with open hollow interiors and porous tubular topologies, the solvent-optimized carbon nanotubes allow low ion-migration barriers to deeply access the built-in zincophilic sites by high-kinetics physical Zn2+/CF3SO3- adsorption and robust chemical Zn2+ redox with pyridine/carbonyl motifs, which maximizes the spatial capacitive charge storage density. Thus, as-designed heterodiatomic carbon nanotube cathodes provide all-round improvement in Zn-ion storage, including a high energy density (140 W h kg-1), a large current activity (100 A g-1), and an exceptional long-term cyclability (100,000 cycles at 50 A g-1). This study provides appealing insights into the solvent-mediated Lewis pair self-assembly design of nanostructured carbons toward advanced Zn-ion energy storage.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSs) are attracting increased attention as emerging electrochemical energy storage systems. However, the design of high-performance carbon cathodes for ZHSs remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of heteroatom-rich carbon cathodes based on a biomass precursor of yeast and a hydrothermal pre-carbonization strategy, realizing high-performance ZHSs. The yeast is composed of polysaccharide chains containing abundant O/N heteroatoms, and a hydrothermal pre-carbonization process is conducive to preserving these heteroatoms in the high-specific-surface-area carbon materials obtained by carbonizing-activating the yeast precursor. As a result, the synthesized carbon materials are endowed with high O/N heteroatom contents (exceeding 13.9 at%), and present superior electrochemical performance in ZHSs, including a high specific capacity of 132 mAh/g, a high energy density of 94.4 Wh/kg and outstanding cycling stability with ∼100% capacity retention after 7000 cycles at 5 A/g. Besides, the heteroatom-rich carbon cathodes show a high capacity retention of 85.3% when their mass loading increases from 3.8 to 12.2 mg/cm2, demonstrating promising application for practical ZHSs. Electrochemical analysis reveals that the O/N heteroatoms promote ion chemical adsorption and thus the electrochemical properties of the carbon cathodes. Furthermore, flexible ZHS devices constructed with the heteroatom-rich carbon cathodes and a biodegradable ZnSO4/dough solid-state electrolyte exhibit excellent flexibility (as reflected by almost unchanged capacity under different bending states and 85% capacity retention after 500 bending cycles) as well as good repairability after dehydration under abnormal environments. This study offers new thinking in designing high-performance carbon cathodes and promotes nonflexible/flexible ZHSs moving towards practical applications.

Abstract
Although aqueous Zn-ion batteries (aZIBs) have garnered significant attention, they are yet to be commercialized due to severe corrosion and dendrite growth on Zn anodes. In this work, an artificial solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) with amorphous structure was created in-situ on the anode by immersing Zn foil in ethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid) sodium (EDTMPNA5) liquid. This facile and effective method provides the possibility for Zn anode protection in large-scale applications. Experimental results, combined with theoretical calculations, indicate that the artificial SEI remains intact and adheres tightly to the Zn substrate. The negatively-charged phosphonic acid groups and disordered inner structure offer adequate sites for rapid Zn2+ transference and facilitate [Zn(H2O)6]2+ desolvation during charging/discharging. Due to the synergistic effect of the aforementioned advantages, the artificial SEI endows high Coulombic efficiency (CE, 99.75%) and smooth Zn deposition/stripping under the SEI. The symmetric cell exhibits a long cycling life of over 2400 h with low-voltage hysteresis. Additionally, full cells with MVO cathodes demonstrate the superiority of the modified anodes. This work provides insight into the design of in-situ artificial SEI on the Zn anode and self-discharge suppression to expedite the practical application of aZIBs.

Synergistic effect of nitrogen and oxygen dopants in 3D hierarchical porous carbon cathodes for ultra-fast zinc ion hybrid supercapacitors. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 640:1029-1039. [PMID: 36913835 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023]
Abstract
Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor is one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage devices for the applications needing both high energy densities and power densities. Nitrogen doping is an effective way to enhance the capacitive performance of porous carbon cathodes in zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor. However, accurate evidence is yet needed to demonstrate how nitrogen dopants influence the charge storage of Zn2+ and H+ cations. Herein, we prepared 3D interconnected hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets by a one-step explosion method. The effect of nitrogen dopants on pseudocapacitance was analyzed by the electrochemical behaviors of as-prepared porous carbon samples with similar morphology and pore structure but different nitrogen and oxygen doping levels. Ex-situ XPS and DFT calculation demonstrate that nitrogen dopants promote the pseudocapacitive reactions by lowering the energy barrier for the change of oxidation states of carbonyl moieties. Owing to the improved pseudocapacitance by nitrogen/oxygen dopants and fast diffusion of Zn2+ ions in 3D interconnected hierarchical porous carbon matrix, the as-constructed ZIHCs show both high gravimetric capacitance (301 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and excellent rate capability (a capacitance retention of 30% at 200 A g-1).

Abstract
The design and development of advanced energy storage devices with good energy/power densities and remarkable cycle life has long been a research hotspot. Metal-ion hybrid capacitors (MHCs) are considered as emerging and highly prospective candidates deriving from the integrated merits of metal-ion batteries with high energy density and supercapacitors with excellent power output and cycling stability. The realization of high-performance MHCs needs to conquer the inevitable imbalance in reaction kinetics between anode and cathode with different energy storage mechanisms. Featured by large specific surface area, short ion diffusion distance, ameliorated in-plane charge transport kinetics, and tunable surface and/or interlayer structures, 2D nanomaterials provide a promising platform for manufacturing battery-type electrodes with improved rate capability and capacitor-type electrodes with high capacity. In this article, the fundamental science of 2D nanomaterials and MHCs is first presented in detail, and then the performance optimization strategies from electrodes and electrolytes of MHCs are summarized. Next, the most recent progress in the application of 2D nanomaterials in monovalent and multivalent MHCs is dealt with. Furthermore, the energy storage mechanism of 2D electrode materials is deeply explored by advanced characterization techniques. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of 2D nanomaterials-based MHCs are prospected.

Abstract
Zinc-ion capacitors (ZICs) are promising technology for large-scale energy storage by integrating the attributes of supercapacitors and zinc-ion batteries. Unfortunately, the insufficient Zn2+ -storage active sites of carbonaceous cathode materials and the mismatch of pore sizes with charge carriers lead to unsatisfactory Zn2+ storage capability. Herein, new insights for boosting Zn2+ storage capability of activated nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbon materials (ANHPC-x) are reported by effectively eliminating the micropore confinement effect and synchronously elevating the utilization of active sites. Therefore, the best-performed ANHPC-2 delivers impressive electrochemical properties for ZICs in terms of excellent capacity (199.1 mAh g-1 ), energy density (155.2 Wh kg-1 ), and durability (65 000 cycles). Systematic ex situ characterizations together with in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and Raman spectra measurements reveal that the remarkable electrochemical performance is assigned to the synergism of the Zn2+ , H+ , and SO4 2- co-adsorption mechanism and reversible chemical adsorption. Furthermore, the ANHPC-2-based quasi-solid-state ZIC demonstrates excellent electrochemical capability with an ultralong lifespan of up to 100 000 cycles. This work not only provides a promising strategy to improve the Zn2+ storage capability of carbonaceous materials but also sheds lights on charge-storage mechanism and advanced electrode materials' design for ZICs toward practical applications.

Abstract
Rechargeable Zn-ion hybrid capacitors (ZHCs) have gained considerable attention towards future energy storage applications owing to their non-flammable nature, high abundance of raw materials and remarkable energy storage performance. However, the uncontrolled growth of dendrites, interfacial corrosion of Zn anodes and limited mass loading of cathode materials, hinders their practical applicability. Herein, we demonstrate ZHCs with enhanced capacity and durability using a synergistic combination of a hybrid-ion electrolyte and a high-mass loading three-dimensionally (3D) printed graphene-carbon nanotube (Gr-C) cathode. The hybrid electrolyte composed of NaCl and ZnSO4, features higher ionic conductivity and lower pH compared with pristine ZnSO4, which enable uniform plating/stripping of Zn2+ ions on Zn anode, as demonstrated by in situ electrochemical and ex situ ToF-SIMs characterizations. Additionally, the multi-layered 3D Gr-C composite electrodes in ZHCs enable higher energy storage performance due to their porous architectures, high ion accessibility and dual-ion charge storage contributions. As a result, the 3D Gr-C//Zn cell unveiled a maximum capacity of 0.84 mA h cm-2 at 3 mA cm-2 with a high life cycle (78.7% at 20 mA cm-2) compared to the pristine electrolyte-based ZHCs (0.72 mA h cm-2 and 14.8%). The rapid rate measurements that we propose along with benchmarked energy density (0.87 mW h cm-2) and power density (31.7 mW cm-2) of hybrid electrolyte-based 3D Gr-C//Zn, pave the way for the development of dendrite-free and highly durable 3D energy storage devices.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are promising candidates to replace currently commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale energy storage applications owing to their merits of abundant resources, low cost, high theoretical volumetric capacity, etc. However, the development of RMBs is still facing great challenges including the incompatibility of the electrolyte and the lack of suitable cathode materials with high reversible capacity and fast kinetics of Mg2+ . While tremendous efforts have been made to explore compatible electrolytes and appropriate electrode materials, the rational design of unconventional Mg-based battery systems is another effective strategy for achieving high electrochemical performance. This review specifically discusses the recent research progress of various Mg-based battery systems. First, the optimization of electrolyte and electrode materials for conventional RMBs is briefly discussed. Furthermore, various Mg-based battery systems, including Mg-chalcogen (S, Se, Te) batteries, Mg-halogen (Br2 , I2 ) batteries, hybrid-ion batteries, and Mg-based dual-ion batteries are systematically summarized. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of different Mg-based battery systems, which can inspire latecomers to explore new strategies for the development of high-performance and practically available RMBs.

Abstract
Carbon nanofibers films are typical flexible electrode in the field of energy storage, but their application in Zinc-ion hybrid capacitors (ZIHCs) is limited by the low energy density due to the lack of active adsorption sites. In this work, an in-situ exfoliation strategy is reported to modulate the chemisorption sites of carbon nanofibers by high pyridine/pyrrole nitrogen doping and carbonyl functionalization. The experimental results and theoretical calculations indicate that the highly electronegative pyridine/pyrrole nitrogen dopants can not only greatly reduce the binding energy between carbonyl group and Zn2+ by inducing charge delocalization of the carbonyl group, but also promote the adsorption of Zn2+ by bonding with the carbonyl group to form N-Zn-O bond. Benefit from the multiple highly active chemisorption sites generated by the synergy between carbonyl groups and pyridine/pyrrole nitrogen atoms, the resulting carbon nanofibers film cathode displays a high energy density, an ultralong-term lifespan, and excellent capacity reservation under commercial mass loading (14.45 mg cm‒2). Particularly, the cathodes can also operate stably in flexible or quasi-solid devices, indicating its application potential in flexible electronic products. This work established a universal method to solve the bottleneck problem of insufficient active adsorption sites of carbon-based ZIHCs.Imoproved should be changed into Improved.

Abstract
Onion-like carbon (OLC) is one kind of a quasi-nanosphere with a concentric graphite shell structure and abundant mesopores, which is appropriate for a high rate of charging/discharging and long-lifespan cycling. However, the moderate specific surface area seriously impeded its capacitance performance in comparison with activated carbon and porous carbon. Herein, we have unlocked the Zn ion storage performance of OLC material through introducing N and P dopants. Benefitting from the fabricated N,P-OLC with a fully accessible external surface area for ion adsorption, high proportion of mesopores for fast ion migration, and synergistic effect of N and P co-doping in a carbon matrix favoring chemical adsorption of Zn2+ ions, when applied as a cathode electrode for Zn ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs), such a device can deliver a high specific capacitance of 420.3 F g-1 (184.5 mA h g-1) at 0.5 A g-1, an outstanding capacitance retention capability of 262.7 F g-1 even at 20 A g-1 (∼63% capacitance retention), a high energy density of 149.5 W h kg-1, and a high power density of 26.7 kW kg-1. Furthermore, this N,P-OLC material can in situ tightly integrate with a carbon cloth (CC) or carbon fiber to construct a freestanding and flexible electrode. The fabricated Zn//N,P-OLC@CC device achieved a high energy density of 85.3 mW h cm-2, a high power density of 24.3 W cm-2, and a long-term cycling lifespan (77.8% after 50 000 cycles). At last, the assembled quasi-solid-state fiber-shaped ZHSCs also present excellent flexibility and practicality. Our study exhibits that OLC can act as a promising carbon electrode for ZHSCs.

Abstract
Zinc ion capacitors (ZICs) hold great promise in large-scale energy storage by inheriting the superiorities of zinc ion batteries and supercapacitors. However, the mismatch of kinetics and capacity between a Zn anode and a capacitive-type cathode is still the Achilles' heel of this technology. Herein, porous carbons are fabricated by using tetra-alkali metal pyromellitic acid salts as precursors through a carbonization/self-activation procedure for enhancing zinc ion storage. The optimized rubidium-activated porous carbon (RbPC) is verified to hold immense surface area, suitable porosity structure, massive lattice defects, and luxuriant oxygen functional groups. These structural and compositional merits endow RbPC with the promoted zinc ion storage capability and more matchable kinetics and capacity with a Zn anode. Consequently, RbPC-based ZIC delivers a high specific energy of 178.2 W h kg-1 and a peak power density of 72.3 kW kg-1. A systematic ex situ characterization analysis coupled with in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance tests reveal that the preeminent zinc ion storage properties are ascribed to the synergistic effect of the dual-ion adsorption and reversible chemical adsorption of RbPC. This work provides an efficient strategy to the rational design and construction of high-performance electrodes for ZICs and furthers the fundamental understanding of their charge storage mechanisms or extends the understanding toward other electrochemical energy storage devices.

Abstract
Designing ingenious and stable carbon nanostructures is critical but still challenging for use in energy storage devices with superior electrochemistry kinetics, durable capacitive activity, and high rate survivability. To pursue the objective, a simple self-assembly strategy is developed to access carbon superstructures built of nanoparticle embedded plates. The carbon precursors, 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone can form porous organic polymer with "protic salt"-type rigid skeleton linked by -NH2 + Cl- - "rivets", which provides the cornerstone for hydrogen-bonding-guided self-assembly of the organic backbone to superstructures by π-π plane stacking. The ameliorative charge density distribution and decreased adsorption energy in as-fabricated carbon superstructures allow the high accessibility of the build-in protophilic sites and efficient ion diffusion with a low energy barrier. Such superstructures thus deliver ultra-stable charge storage and fast proton-coupled kinetics at the structural-chemical defects, contributing to unprecedented lifespan (1 000 000 cycles), high-rate capability (100 A g-1 ) for carbon-based supercapacitors, and an ultrahigh energy density (128 Wh kg-1 ) for Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors. The self-assembled carbon superstructures significantly improve the all-round electrochemical performances, and hold great promise for efficient energy storage.

Abstract
The application of biomass-based carbon materials in electrode materials are usually subject to their deficient adsorption sites as well as sluggish diffusion of electrolyte ions. Herein, flower-like carbons are obtained from the heavy fraction of bio-oil with the auxiliary of Hydrogen-bonded frameworks (HOFs) crystals. During the co-carbonization of the both, the HOFs crystals are removed on account of its poor stability, which directs the formation of flower-like morphology and generates the penetrable meso/macropores across petal-like carbon nanosheets. In addition, the pyrolysis gases serve as the agents for activation to enrich the active sites without the further activation. The degree of graphitization and the contents of pyridine nitrogen for carbon materials could be flexibly adjusted with the contents of HOFs. Owing to the beneficial 3D flower-like structure, high specific surface area (1076 m2/g), large pore volume (2.59 cm3/g), and rational N species, the assembled Zn//BH-4 hybrid supercapacitor reaches a superior energy density of 117.5 Wh/kg at 890 W/kg and maintains 60.7 Wh/kg even at 16.2 kW/kg.

Abstract
Electrochemical capacitors charge and discharge more rapidly than batteries over longer cycles, but their practical applications remain limited due to their significantly lower energy densities. Pseudocapacitors and hybrid capacitors have been developed to extend Ragone plots to higher energy density values, but they are also limited by the insufficient breadth of options for electrode materials, which require materials that store alkali metal cations such as Li+ and Na+. Herein, we report a comprehensive and systematic review of emerging anion storage materials for performance- and functionality-oriented applications in electrochemical and battery-capacitor hybrid devices. The operating principles and types of dual-ion and whole-anion storage in electrochemical and hybrid capacitors are addressed along with the classification, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects, and associated interfaces of anion storage materials in various aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. The charge storage mechanism, structure-property correlation, and electrochemical features of anion storage materials are comprehensively discussed. The recent progress in emerging anion storage materials is also discussed, focusing on high-performance applications, such as dual-ion- and whole-anion-storing electrochemical capacitors in a symmetric or hybrid manner, and functional applications including micro- and flexible capacitors, desalination, and salinity cells. Finally, we present our perspective on the current impediments and future directions in this field.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors are considered to be a newly emerging electrochemical energy storage devices. However, the exploration and design of advanced cathode materials remain a huge challenge. Herein, we developed a versatile one-step magnesiothermic reduction and self-activation process for the synthesis of highly-curved carbon nanosheets (HCCNs) with hierarchical pore structures. In this process, low-molecular weight organic potassium salts (e.g. potassium bitartrate, potassium acetate, potassium oxalate, potassium formate, potassium oleate, potassium sorbate), which usually used as the chemical activating reagents, serve as the carbon source whereas the Mg power acts as the reducing agent. The resulting HCCNs possess hierarchical porosity and unique HCCN geometry which can afford abundant active sites for charge accumulation as well as the highly efficient ions diffusion kinetics. Because of the high ratio of surface-controlled capacitive contribution and high ions diffusion coefficient, the optimized sample can exhibit excellent charge storage performance with an impressive reversible capacity (200.2 mAh g-1), excellent rate capability, and good cyclic stability. The excellent capacitive behaviors combined with the feasible synthetic procedure make the present synthetic protocol a promising choice towards well-designed nanocarbons for electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) combine the advantages of both batteries and supercapacitors; they have attracted intensive attention among energy conversion and storage fields, and one of the key points of their research is the exploration of suitable battery-type electrode materials. Herein, a simple and low-cost strategy is proposed, in which SnO2 particles are anchored on the conductive porous carbon nano-sheets (PCN) derived from coffee grounds. This method can inhibit the grain coarsening of Sn and the volume change of SnO2 effectively, thus improving the electrochemical reversibility of the materials. In the lithium half cell (0-3.0 V vs. Li/Li+), the as-prepared SnO2/PCN electrode yields a reversible capacity of 799 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and decent long-term cyclability of 313 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 500 cycles. The excellent Li+ storage performance of SnO2/PCN is beneficial from the hierarchical structure as well as the robust carbonaceous buffer layer. Besides, a LIC hybrid device with the as-prepared SnO2/PCN anode exhibits outstanding energy and power density of 138 W h kg-1 and 53 kW kg-1 at a voltage window of 1.0-4.0 V. These promising results open up a new way to develop advanced anode materials with high rate and long life.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-based batteries (AZBs) attract tremendous attention due to the abundant and rechargeable zinc anode. Nonetheless, the requirement of high energy and power densities raises great challenge for the cathode development. Herein we construct an aqueous zinc ion capacitor possessing an unrivaled combination of high energy and power characteristics by employing a unique dual-ion adsorption mechanism in the cathode side. Through a templating/activating co-assisted carbonization procedure, a routine protein-rich biomass transforms into defect-rich carbon with immense surface area of 3657.5 m2 g-1 and electrochemically active heteroatom content of 8.0 at%. Comprehensive characterization and DFT calculations reveal that the obtained carbon cathode exhibits capacitive charge adsorptions toward both the cations and anions, which regularly occur at the specific sites of heteroatom moieties and lattice defects upon different depths of discharge/charge. The dual-ion adsorption mechanism endows the assembled cells with maximum capacity of 257 mAh g-1 and retention of 72 mAh g-1 at ultrahigh current density of 100 A g-1 (400 C), corresponding to the outstanding energy and power of 168 Wh kg-1 and 61,700 W kg-1. Furthermore, practical battery configurations of solid-state pouch and cable-type cells display excellent reliability in electrochemistry as flexible and knittable power sources.

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
Pseudocapacitive behavior and ion hybrid capacitors can improve the energy density of supercapacitors, but research has only considered the reaction of cations during the electrochemical process, leading to a flawed mechanistic understanding. Here, the effects of various anions carriers on the electrochemical behaviors of titanium nitride-based zinc ion capacitor (Zn-TiN capacitor) were explored. DFT calculations revealed the stable structure of TiN-SO4 after adsorbed process, enabling SO4 2- participate in the electrochemical process and construct a two-step adsorption and intercalation energy storage mechanism, improving the capacitance and anti-self-discharge ability of the Zn-TiN capacitor, which delivered an ultrahigh capacitance of 489.8 F g-1 and retained 83.92 % of capacitance even after 500 h resting time. An energy storage system involving anions in the electrochemical process can improve capacitance and anti-self-discharge ability of ion hybrid capacitors.
