Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered a promising device for next-generation energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. However, developing high-performance cathodes that can be matched with zinc metal anodes remains a challenge in unlocking the full potential of AZIBs. In this study, a typical transition metal layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDHs) can be in situ reconstructed to NiCo-LDHs/Ni(Co)OOH heterostructure using an electrochemical cycling activation (ECA) method, serving as a novel cathode material for AZIBs. The optimized ECA-NiCo-LDHs cathode demonstrates a high capacity of 181.5 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 and retains 75% of initial capacity after 700 cycles at 5 A g-1. The abundant heterointerfaces of the NiCo-LDHs/Ni(Co)OOH material can activate additional active sites for zinc-ion storage and accelerate ion diffusion. Theoretical calculations also suggest the heterostructure can boost charge transfer and regulate ion-adsorption capability, thereby improving the electrochemical performance. Additionally, the flexible AZIBs device exhibits good service performance. This study on interface engineering introduces a new possibility for utilizing LDHs in AZIBs and offers a novel strategy for designing electrode materials.

Abstract
For the initial instance, oxygen deficiency-enriched vanadium pentoxide (O─V2O5@500) thin film electrodes are tuned by the Pulsed Laser Ablation technique. The O─V2O5@500 thin film electrode shows remarkable electrochemical performances confirming the greater potential window of -0.4 to 0.9 V versus Hg/HgO in an alkaline electrolyte; also, the O─V2O5@ 500 thin film electrode exhibits a noteworthy volumetric capacity of 167.7 mAh cm-3 (areal capacity of 73.3 µAh cm-2). Additionally, Density Functional Theory (DFT) theory calculations are carried out for oxygen-deficient V2O5. From the partial density of states (pDOS) and partial charge density analysis, it is clear that oxygen vacancy improves the electrical conductivity due to the higher degree of electron delocalization of V─O─V near the vacancy and enhances the redox properties due to the formation of in-gap states. Further, it is reported that a O─V2O5@ 500 ||PVA-KOH|| Bi2O3 A-650 thin film supercapbattery (TFSCB) device attains an exceptional discharge volumetric capacitance of 182.85 F cm-3 (equal volumetric capacity of 124.5 mAh cm-3). Furthermore, the TFSCB device exhibits an extraordinary maximum volumetric energy (power) density of 14.28 mWh cm-3 (1.66 W cm-3); TFSCB succeeds in supreme capacity retention of 86% with outstanding coulombic efficiency of 94.4% after 21 000 cycles.

Abstract
Vanadium oxide has been extensively studied as a host of zinc ion intercalation but still suffers from low conductivity, dissolution, and byproduct accumulation during cycling. Here, we hydrothermally synthesize the VO2@MXene Ti3C2 (MV) composite and find that in the MV//3 M Zn(CF3SO3)2//Zn system, the double hydroxide Zn12(CF3SO3)9(OH)15·nH2O (ZCOH) uniformly covers VO2 during the charging process and dissolves reversibly during the discharge process. In situ X-ray diffraction of the MV combined with in situ pH measurements reveals that ZCOH acts as a pH buffer during cycling, which is beneficial to the cycling stability of batteries. And the theoretical calculation indicates that the decomposition energy required by ZCOH on the MV surface is lower than that on pure VO2, which is more conducive to ZCOH dissolution. The coin battery exhibits high-rate performance of 65.1% capacity retention at a current density of 15 A g-1 (compared to 0.6 A g-1) and a long cycling life of 20,000 cycles with a capacity retention of 80.7%. For a 22.4 mA h soft-packaged battery, its capacity remains at 72.1% after 2000 cycles. This work demonstrates the active role of ZCOH in the electrochemical process of VO2 and provides a new perspective for exploiting this mechanism to develop high-performance aqueous zinc-ion battery vanadium oxide cathode materials.

Abstract
Transition metal selenides (TMS) have been used to prepare hundreds of electrode materials for ion batteries due to their superior theoretical capacity, but have been repeatedly limited by the sluggish reaction kinetics and the enormous volume change during the repeated charge/discharge process. Here, we report a facile strategy to fabricate organic-inorganic composites by engineering a unique chemical bonding interface between TMS and conductive polymers. For the first time, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is utilized to encapsulate iron diselenide (FeSe2) nanoparticles by in situ polymerization, and the Fe-S bonds are meanwhile formed at the interface of FeSe2 and PEDOT. The experimental analysis demonstrates the stability of Fe-S bonds during the sodiation/desodiation process and after long cycling, which can serve as a "bridge" for fast charge transfer and also serve as a "rivet" to stabilize the composite structure. When used for sodium ion storage, the composite offers an exceptionally long lifetime of up to 17,000 loops at 10 A/g without capacity degradation. In addition, it delivers a high specific capacity of 490.4 mAh/g and retains 60 % when the current density is amplified 150 times. The assembled full cell also exhibits excellent cycling stability. This work will provide a feasible way to improve the metal oxide/sulfide/selenides for long-life ion batteries.

Abstract
To manufacture flexible batteries, it can be a challenge for silicon base anode materials to maintain structural integrity and electrical connectivity under bending and torsion conditions. In this work, 1D silicon nanowire array structures combined with flexible carbon chains consisting of short carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and long carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are proposed. The CNFs and CNTs serve as chain joints and separate chain units, respectively, weaving the well-ordered Si nanowire array into a robust and integrated configuration. The prepared flexible and stretchable silicon array anode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance during dynamic operation. A high initial specific capacity of 2856 mAh g-1 is achieved. After 1000 cycles, a capacity retention of 60% (1602 mAh g-1) is maintained. Additionally, the capacity attenuation is less than 1% after 100 bending cycles. This excellent cycling stability is obtained with a high Si loading of 6.92 mg cm-2. This novel approach offers great promise for the development of high-loading flexible energy-storage devices.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have recently attracted great interest and are regarded as a promising energy storage device due to their low cost, environmental friendliness, and superior safety. However, the development of suitable Zn-ion intercalation cathode materials remains a great challenge, resulting in unsatisfactory ZIBs that cannot meet commercial demands. Considering that spinel-type LiMn2O4 has been shown to be a successful Li intercalation host, spinel-like ZnMn2O4 (ZMO) is expected to be a good candidate for ZIBs cathodes. This paper first introduces the zinc storage mechanism of ZMO and then reviews the promotion of research progress in improving the interlayer spacing, structural stability, and diffusivity of ZMO, including the introduction of different intercalated ions, introduction of defects, and design of different morphologies and in combination with other materials. The development status and future research directions of ZMO-based ZIBs characterization and analysis techniques are summarized.

Abstract
Hexagonal carbon nanoplates bearing MoS2 (HCN@MoS2) were synthesized using two-dimensional (2D) microporous organic polymers as templating materials. The layer number of MoS2 in HCN@MoS2 and the 2D morphology of composites were critical factors to achieve high-performance cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. The best cathode performance was obtained with HCN@MoS2 bearing 2-3 layered MoS2 (HCN@MoS2-2), showing excellent discharge capacities of 602 mAh/g (@50 mA/g), 498 mAh/g (@0.1 A/g), and 328 mAh/g (@1 A/g). The promising electrochemical performance of HCN@MoS2-2 is attributable to the facilitated insertion of zinc ions into 2-3 layered MoS2 due to the reduced lattice energy and the efficient electrochemical utilization of composite materials.
