Abstract
Exploring and developing new rechargeable halide-ion batteries plays an important role in the advancement and growth of the ion battery family. Here, we systematically explored the feasibility of single-layer MXenes and their hydrogenated derivatives as electrode materials for halide-ion batteries via first-principles theory. The calculated results indicate that halide ions (T ions) can be stably and efficiently adsorbed on the surfaces of M2X and M2XH2, with theoretical specific capacities ranging from 227 to 497 mAh g-1. The diffusion barriers of the T ion on MXenes are from 0.55 to 0.10 eV, comparable to those of the Li ion in graphite and LiCoO2. The electronegativity of halide anions displays significant impacts on their discharge voltage plateaus on M2X, with the highest voltage up to 5.60 V for the F ion. As a comparison, the hydrogenation of M2XH2 with less surface activity raises a 2-3 V voltage reduction. All MXene-based full cells of TxTi2C|TyTi2CH2 (where x = 0-2 and y = 2-0) and TxTi2N|TyTi2NH2 (where x = 0-2 and y = 2-0) demonstrated high full battery specific energies for F-, Cl-, and Br-ion batteries, up to 462 Wh kg-1. These results demonstrate the potential of new halide-ion battery designs, paving the way for future research and innovation in battery technology.

Abstract
A variety of inorganic and inorganic cathode materials for chloride ion storage are reported. However, their application in chloride ion batteries (CIB) is hindered by poor rate capability and cycling stability. Herein, an organic poly(butyl viologen dichloride) (PBVCl2) cathode material with significantly enhanced rate and cycling performance in the CIB is achieved using a crown ether (18-Crown-6) additive in the tributylmethylammonium chloride-based electrolyte. The as-prepared PBVCl2 cathodes exhibit impressive capacity increases from 149.4 to 179.1 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and from 57.8 to 111.9 mAh g-1 at 10 C, demonstrating the best rate performance with the highest energy density among those of various reported cathodes for CIBs. This impressive performance improvement is a result of the great boosts in charge transfer, ion transport, and interface stability of the battery by the use of 18-Crown-6, which also contributes to a more than twofold increase in capacity retention after 120 cycles. The electrode reaction mechanism of the CIB based on highly reversible chloride ion transfer is revealed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Abstract
Due to the widespread employment of carbon materials in novel dual-ion batteries (DIBs) with high energy density, they possess the potential for large-scale energy storage and are inexpensive and environmentally friendly. However, drawbacks such as Al current collector corrosion and significant self-weight, as well as lithium metal abuse and poor deposition reversibility, impair the energy density and cycle performance of lithium-graphite DIBs (Li-G DIBs), severely limiting their application potential. Therefore, an integrated electrode structure design was proposed. That is, the flexible graphite and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) composite cathode (GSC), which is light-weight and self-supporting, and the self-supporting lithium metal anode, which is loaded on the flexible carbon cloth (CC) derived from waste mask (Li@CC), were prepared. Not only were the impacts of current collector corrosion and active material exfoliation avoided on the electrochemical performance, but the areal loading of Li metal was also regulated and its reversibility of deposition enhanced. At a current density of 200 mA g-1 , the constructed Li@CC//GSC full cell could release a specific capacity of 100.5 mAh g-1 , and the capacity retention rate after 300 cycles was greater than 80 %. Moreover, the fabricated flexible Li@CC//GSC full cell is not only recyclable and produces less environmental pollution but also has potential applications in wearable devices.

Abstract
Chloride-ion batteries (CIBs) have been regarded as a promising alternative battery technology to lithium-ion batteries because of their abundant resources, high theoretical volumetric energy density, and high safety. However, the research on chloride-ion batteries is still in its infancy. Exploring appropriate cathode materials with desirable electrochemical performance is in high demand for CIBs. Herein, the FeOCl nanocrystal embedded in a mesocellular carbon foam (MCF) has been prepared and developed as a high-performance cathode material for CIBs. The MCF with uniform and large mesocells (15.7-31.2 nm) interconnected through uniform windows (15.2-21.5 nm) can provide high-speed pathways for electron and chloride-ion transport and accommodate the strain caused by the volume change of FeOCl during cycling. As a result, the optimized FeOCl@MCF cathode exhibits the highest discharge capacity of 235 mAh g-1 (94% of the theoretical capacity) among those of the previously reported metal (oxy)chloride cathodes for CIBs. A reversible capacity of 140 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles is retained. In contrast, only 18 mAh g-1 was kept for the FeOCl cathode.
