Abstract
The escalating global demand for clean energy has spurred substantial interest in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a promising solution for large-scale energy storage systems. However, the insufficient reaction kinetics and considerable volume changes inherent to anode materials present significant hurdles to enhancing the electrochemical performance of SIBs. In this study, hierarchical MoS2/WS2 heterostructures were constructed into dual carbon layers (HC@MoS2/WS2@NC) and assessed their suitability as anodes for SIBs. The internal hard carbon core (HC) and outer nitrogen-doped carbon shell (NC) effectively anchor MoS2/WS2, thereby significantly improving its structural stability. Moreover, the conductive carbon components expedite electron transport during charge-discharge processes. Critically, the intelligently engineered interface between MoS2 and WS2 modulates the interfacial energy barrier and electric field distribution, promoting faster ion transport rates. Capitalizing on these advantageous features, the HC@MoS2/WS2@NC nanocomposite exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance when utilized as an anode in SIBs. Specifically, it delivers a high capacity of 415 mAh/g at a current density of 0.2 A/g after 100 cycles. At a larger current density of 2 A/g, it maintains a commendable capacity of 333 mAh/g even after 1000 cycles. Additionally, when integrated into a full battery configuration with a Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode, the Na3V2(PO4)3//HC@MoS2/WS2@NC full cell delivers a high capacity of 120 mAh/g after 300 cycles at 1 A/g. This work emphasizes the substantial improvement in battery performance that can be attained through the implementation of dual carbon confinement, offering a constructive approach to guide the design and development of next-generation anode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Mg-ion batteries (MIBs) are promising next-generation secondary batteries, but suffer from sluggish Mg2+ migration kinetics and structural collapse of the cathode materials. Here, an H2O-Mg2+ waltz-like shuttle mechanism in the lamellar cathode, which is realized by the coordination, adaptive rotation and flipping, and co-migration of lattice H2O molecules with inserted Mg2+, leading to the fast Mg2+ migration kinetics, is reported; after Mg2+ extraction, the lattice H2O molecules rearrange to stabilize the lamellar structure, eliminating structural collapse of the cathode. Consequently, the demo cathode of Mg0.75V10O24·nH2O (MVOH) exhibits a high capacity of 350 mAh g-1 at a current density of 50 mA g-1 and maintains a capacity of 70 mAh g-1 at 4 A g-1. The full aqueous MIB based on MVOH delivers an ultralong lifespan of 5000 cycles The reported waltz-like shuttle mechanism of lattice H2O provides a novel strategy to develop high-performance cathodes for MIBs as well as other multivalent-ion batteries.

Abstract
Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) a strong candidate to set off the second-generation energy storage boom due to their double charge transfer and dendrite-free advantages. However, the strong coulombic force and the huge diffusion energy barrier between Mg2+ and the electrode material have led to need for a cathode material that can enable the rapid and reversible de-insertion of Mg2+. So far, researchers have found that the sulfur-converted cathode materials have a greater application prospect due to the advantages of low price and high specific capacity, etc. Based on these advantages, it is possible to achieve the goal of increasing the magnesium storage capacity and cycling stability by reasonable modification of crystal or morphology. In this review, we focus on the application of a variety of sulfur-converted cathode materials in MIBs in recent years from the perspective of microstructural design, and provide an outlook on current challenges and future development.

Abstract
Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) and dual-salt magnesium/lithium-ion batteries (MLIBs) have emerged as promising contenders for next-generation energy storage. In contrast to lithium metal anode in lithium metal batteries, magnesium metal anode in MIBs and MLIBs presents a safer alternative due to the limited dendrite growth and higher volumetric capacity, along with higher natural abundance. This study explores a MLIB configuration with a novel cathode design by employing a 2D/2D nanocomposite of 1T/2H mixed phase MoS2 and delaminated Ti3C2Tx MXene (1T/2H-MoS2@MXene) to address challenges associated with slow kinetics of magnesium ions during cathode interactions. This cathode design takes advantage of the high electrical conductivity of Ti3C2Tx MXene and the expanded interlayer spacing with enhanced conductivity of the 1T metallic phase in 1T/2H mixed phase MoS2. Through a designed synthesis method, the resulting nanocomposite cathode maintains structural integrity, enabling the stable and reversible storage of dual Mg2+ and Li+ ions. The nanocomposite cathode demonstrates superior performance in MLIBs compared to individual components (253 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1, and 36% of capacity retention at 1,000 mA g-1), showcasing short ion transport paths and fast ion storage kinetics. This work represents a significant advancement in cathode material design for cost-effective and safe MLIBs.

Abstract
Crystal phase, a critical structural characteristic beyond the morphology, size, dimension, facet, etc., determines the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials. As a group of layered nanomaterials with polymorphs, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted intensive research attention due to their phase-dependent properties. Therefore, great efforts have been devoted to the phase engineering of TMDs to synthesize TMDs with controlled phases, especially unconventional/metastable phases, for various applications in electronics, optoelectronics, catalysis, biomedicine, energy storage and conversion, and ferroelectrics. Considering the significant progress in the synthesis and applications of TMDs, we believe that a comprehensive review on the phase engineering of TMDs is critical to promote their fundamental studies and practical applications. This Review aims to provide a comprehensive introduction and discussion on the crystal structures, synthetic strategies, and phase-dependent properties and applications of TMDs. Finally, our perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in phase engineering of TMDs will also be discussed.

Abstract
Magnesium iodide (MgI2) solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) layers have previously been shown to protect Mg metal anodes from passivation through products formed during Mg(TFSI)2 electrolyte decomposition (TSFI = trifluorosulfonimide). MgI2 formed in situ from small quantities of I2 added to the electrolyte shows a drastic decrease in the overpotential for magnesium deposition and stripping. In this work, a MgI2 SEI layer was created in an ex situ fashion and then the electrochemical characteristics of this MgI2 SEI layer were probed both alone and with small quantities of I2 or Bu4NI3 additives to identify the electroactive species. Chronopotentiometry (CP) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) show that the MgI2 SEI alone is insufficient for low overpotential magnesium cycling. I(3d) XPS data show that I3- is formed within the SEI layer, which can serve as the electroactive species when ligated with Mg2+ for low overpotential (<50 mV at 0.1 mA cm-2 current density) cycling. Moreover, Raman shifts at 110 and 140 cm-1 are consistent with I3- formation, and these signatures are observed before and after CP experiments. The Mg0 deposition curves in the CV with additives are consistent with diffusive species. Finally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows that there is a large decrease in the charge-transfer resistance within the SEI when either I2 or Bu4NI3 additives are used, which supports a solvating effect that facilitates magnesium deposition and stripping.

Abstract
Due to the significant ambient abundance of magnesium metal and the divalent nature of the magnesium ion, rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries are a strong candidate to fulfill the forthcoming demands for electrical energy storage in both extensive mobile and stationary applications. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are still regarded as newcomers within the realm of 2D nanomaterials, particularly in the context of their applications in energy storage. Here, we report a DFT-based analysis on TMDs as anode materials in Mg ion batteries using the GGA-PBE exchange-correlation functional. This study investigates the structural, electronic and adsorption behavior of ScSeS and TiSeS nanosheets. All predicted TMDs adsorbed Mg-atoms with favorable adsorption energy (Eads) without any noticeable structural distortion, exhibiting good structural stability. For three distinct adsorption sites, top of the transition metal (Sc, Ti), Se and S, the Eads are calculated as -3.74 eV, -3.62 eV, -3.40 eV and -1.23 eV, -1.38 eV, -0.91 eV, which indicates that Eads is higher when the Mg ion is adsorbed at the Sc and Se atomic sites, respectively. The Eads for ScSeS are almost two times the Eads for TiSeS. In the band structure, it is seen that for both ScSeS and TiSeS, the conduction band crosses the Fermi level, which implies the metallic behavior of the nanosheets. Furthermore, they show a maximum theoretical specific capacity of about 686.18 mA h g-1 and 546.63 mA h g-1, which is almost two times higher than that of the bulk graphite anode material. The average open circuit voltages are calculated as 0.43 V and 0.11 V for ScSeS and TiSeS, respectively.

Abstract
Energy is undeniably one of the most fundamental requirements of the current generation. Solar and wind energy are sustainable and renewable energy sources; however, their unpredictability points to the development of energy storage systems (ESSs). There has been a substantial increase in the use of batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), as ESSs. However, low rate capability and degradation due to electric load in long-range electric vehicles are pushing LIBs to their limits. As alternative ESSs, magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) possess promising properties and advantages. Cathode materials play a crucial role in MIBs. In this regard, a variety of cathode materials, including Mn-based, Se-based, vanadium- and vanadium oxide-based, S-based, and Mg2+-containing cathodes, have been investigated by experimental and theoretical techniques. Results reveal that the discharge capacity, capacity retention, and cycle life of cathode materials need improvement. Nevertheless, maintaining the long-term stability of the electrode-electrolyte interface during high-voltage operation continues to be a hurdle in the execution of MIBs, despite the continuous research in this field. The current Review mainly focuses on the most recent nanostructured-design cathode materials in an attempt to draw attention to MIBs and promote the investigation of suitable cathode materials for this promising energy storage device.

Abstract
Discovery of stable and efficient electrolytes that are compatible with magnesium metal anodes and high-voltage cathodes is crucial to enabling energy storage technologies that can move beyond existing Li-ion systems. Many promising electrolytes for magnesium anodes have been proposed with chloride-based systems at the forefront; however, Cl-containing electrolytes lack the oxidative stability required by high-voltage cathodes. In this work, we report magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) as a viable coanion for Cl-free, mixed-anion magnesium electrolytes. The addition of triflate to electrolytes containing bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide (TFSI-) anions yields significantly improved Coulombic efficiency, up to a 100 mV decrease in the plating/stripping overpotential, improved tolerance to trace H2O, and improved oxidative stability (0.35 V improvement compared to that of hybrid TFSI-Cl electrolytes). Based on 19F nuclear magnetic resonance and Raman spectroscopy measurements, we propose that these improvements in performance are driven by the formation of mixed-anion contact ion pairs, where both triflate and TFSI- are coordinated to Mg2+ in the electrolyte bulk. The formation of this mixed-anion magnesium complex is further predicted by the density functional theory to be thermodynamically driven. Collectively, this work outlines the guiding principles for the improved design of next-generation electrolytes for magnesium batteries.

Hydrogen Peroxide Tuned Morphology and Crystal Structure of Barium Vanadate-Based Nanostructures for Aqueous Zinc-Ion Storage Properties. SMALL METHODS 2023:e2301398. [PMID: 38143278 DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202301398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
Improving the layered-structure stability and suppressing vanadium (V) dissolution during repeated Zn2+ insertion/extraction processes are key to promoting the electrochemical stability of V-based cathodes for aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this study, barium vanadate (Ba2 V2 O7 , BVO) nanostructures (NSs) are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. The formation process of the BVO NSs is controlled by adjusting the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), and these NSs are employed as potential cathode materials for AZIBs. As the H2 O2 content increases, the corresponding electrochemical properties demonstrate a discernible parabolic trend, with an initial increase, followed by a subsequent decrease. Benefiting from the effect of H2 O2 concentration, the optimized BVO electrode with 20 mL H2 O2 delivers a specific capacity of 180.15 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 with good rate capability and a long-term cyclability of 158.34 mA h g-1 at 3 A g-1 over 2000 cycles. Thus, this study provides a method for designing cathode materials with robust structures to boost the electrochemical performance of AZIBs.

Abstract
There has been increasing interests in π-d conjugated coordination polymers (CCPs) for energy storage because of their rapid charge transfer through long-range planar π-d conjugation between ligands and metal centers. Nevertheless, currently reported CCPs for energy storage are mostly based on 1D or 2D structures. There are few 3D CCPs reported to date because of the great challenge in constructing nonplanar coordination geometries, let alone their applications in multivalent ions storage. Herein, a triphenylene-catecholate-based 3D CCP (Mn-HHTP) is successfully synthesized assembled from the multidentate chelating groups of hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) ligands and their isotropic coordination with Mn2+ ions. The 3D conjugated structure of Mn-HHTP enables an exceptional cycle life of >4000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 for multivalent Mg2+ ion storage, which is far superior to most organic and inorganic electrode materials. Experimental characterizations combined with theoretical calculations indicate that the semiquinone radicals at the HHTP ligands are the electroactive centers for Mg2+ ions storage. The excellent performance of Mn-HHTP opens a new avenue towards the design of 3D CCPs for long-life rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Magnesium rechargeable batteries (MRBs) are presently attracting much attention due to their low cost, high safety, and high theoretical volumetric capacity. Traditionally, pure magnesium metal has been used as an anode for MRBs, but its poor cycle performance, modest compatibility with conventional electrolytes, and sluggish kinetics limit the further development of MRBs. In this work, eutectic and hypereutectic Mg-Sn alloys were designed and studied as anodes for MRBs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results confirmed that these alloys contained unique microstructures consisting of α-Mg, Mg2Sn, and eutectic phases. The dissolution processes of the Mg-Sn alloys were studied in an all-phenyl-complex (APC) electrolyte. A multiple-step electrochemical dissolution process and a special adsorption interface layer were established for the Mg-Sn alloy anodes with an eutectic phase. Hypereutectic alloys with mixed phases showed better battery performance than the eutectic alloy owing to their superior mechanical properties. In addition, the morphology and Mg dissolution mechanism of the Mg-Sn alloys during the 1st dissolution process were characterized and discussed.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials (OEMs) have shown enormous potential in ion batteries because of their varied structural components and adaptable construction. As a brand-new energy-storage device, rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (RAIBs) have also received a lot of attention due to their high safety and low cost. OEMs are expected to stand out among many traditional RAIB cathode materials. However, how to improve the electrochemical performance of OEMs in RAIBs on a laboratory scale is still challenging. This work reviews and discusses the uses of conductive polymers, carbonyl compounds, imine polymers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organic frameworks, and other organic materials as the cathodes of RAIBs, as well as energy-storage mechanisms and research progress. It is hoped that this Review can provide the design guidelines for organic cathode materials with high capacity and great stability used in aluminum-organic batteries and develop more efficient organic energy storage cathodes.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) has many unique properties suitable for applications in the fields of energy conversion and storage. These fields presently rely on noble metals for efficient performance. However, among other challenges, noble metals have low natural abundance, which undermines their sustainability. Mg has a high negative standard reduction potential and a unique crystal structure, and its low melting point at 650 °C makes it a good candidate to replace or supplement numerous other metals in various energy applications. These attractive features are particularly helpful for improving the properties and limits of materials in energy systems. However, knowledge of Mg and its practical uses is still limited, despite recent studies which have reported Mg's key roles in synthesizing new structures and modifying the chemical properties of materials. At present, information about Mg chemistry has been rather scattered without any organized report. The present review highlights the chemistry of Mg and its uses in energy applications such as electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and secondary batteries, among others. Future perspectives on the development of Mg-based materials are further discussed to identify the challenges that need to be addressed.

Abstract
Magnesium rechargeable batteries (MRBs) promise to be the next post lithium-ion batteries that can help meet the increasing demand for high-energy, cost-effective, high-safety energy storage devices. Early prototype MRBs that use molybdenum-sulfide cathodes have low terminal voltages, requiring the development of oxide-based cathodes capable of overcoming the sulfide's low Mg2+ conductivity. Here, we fabricate an ultraporous (>500 m2 g-1) and ultrasmall (<2.5 nm) cubic spinel MgMn2O4 (MMO) by a freeze-dry assisted room-temperature alcohol reduction process. While the as-fabricated MMO exhibits a discharge capacity of 160 mAh g-1, the removal of its surface hydroxy groups by heat-treatment activates it without structural change, improving its discharge capacity to 270 mAh g-1─the theoretical capacity at room temperature. These results are made possible by the ultraporous, ultrasmall particles that stabilize the metastable cubic spinel phase, promoting both the Mg2+ insertion/deintercalation in the MMO and the reversible transformation between the cubic spinel and cubic rock-salt phases.

Abstract
Electrochemical stability is a critical performance parameter for the materials used as electrolytes and electrodes in batteries. Using first-principles electronic structure calculations, we have determined the electrochemical stability windows of magnesium binary and ternary spinel compounds. These materials are candidates for protective coatings, solid electrolytes, and cathodes in Mg batteries, which represent a promising sustainable alternative to Li-ion batteries that still dominate the battery market. Furthermore, we have applied and assessed two different criteria for the chemical stability of the compounds. For the spinel materials, we identify the critical role of the ionic radii of the transition metal for the stability of the compounds. In addition, we determine the ion mobility in these materials using a recently developed descriptor. We thus provide guidelines for the choice of promising solid materials for Mg batteries with improved properties.

Abstract
Off-grid power sources are becoming increasingly important for applications ranging from autonomous sensor networks to fighting energy poverty. Interactions of light with certain classes of battery and capacitor materials have recently gained attention to enhance the rate performance or to even charge energy storage devices directly with light. Interestingly, these devices have the potential to reduce the volume and cost of autonomous power sources. Here, a light-enhanced magnesium (Mg)-ion capacitor is shown. The latter is interesting because of the large natural abundance of Mg and its ability to operate in low cost and non-flammable aqueous electrolytes. Photoelectrodes using a combination of vanadium dioxide and reduced graphene oxide can achieve capacitance enhancements of up to 56% under light exposure alongside a 21% higher energy density of 20.5 mAh kg-1 .

Abstract
2D MXenes have attracted considerable attention due to their high electronic conductivity, tunable metal compositions, functional termination groups, low ion diffusion barriers, and abundant active sites. However, MXenes suffer from sheet stacking and partial surface oxidation, limiting their energy storage and water treatment development. To solve these problems and enhance the performance of MXenes in practical applications, various hierarchical MXene/transition metal oxide (MXene/TMO) heterostructures are rationally designed and constructed. The hierarchical MXene/TMO heterostructures can not only prevent the stacking of MXene sheets and improve the electronic conductivity and buffer the volume change of TMOs during the electrochemical reaction process. The synergistic effect of conductive MXenes and active TMOs also makes MXene/TMO heterostructures promising electrode materials for energy storage and seawater desalination. This review mainly introduces and discusses the recent research progress in MXene/TMO heterostructures, focusing on their synthetic strategies, heterointerface engineering, and applications in rechargeable batteries, capacitors, and capacitive deionization (CDI). Finally, the key challenges and prospects for the future development of the MXene/TMO heterostructures in rechargeable batteries, capacitors, and CDI are proposed.

Abstract
Alkali metal-ion batteries (SIBs and PIBs) and multivalent metal-ion batteries (ZIBs, MIBs, and AIBs), among the next-generation rechargeable batteries, are deemed appealing alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their cost competitiveness. Improving the electrochemical properties of electrode materials can greatly accelerate the pace of development in battery systems to cover the increasing demands of realistic applications. Vanadium tetrasulfide (VS4 ) is known as a prospective electrode material due to its unique one-dimensional atomic chain structure with a large chain spacing, weak interactions between adjacent chains, and high sulfur content. This review summarizes the synthetic strategies and recent advances of VS4 as cathodes/anodes for rechargeable batteries. Meanwhile, we describe the structural characteristics and electrochemical properties of VS4 . And we describe in detail its specific applications in batteries such as SIBs, PIBs, ZIBs, MIBs, and AIBs as well as modification strategies. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of VS4 in the domain of energy research are described.

Abstract
The cost-effective and abundant availability of sodium offers an opportunity for rechargeable Na-ion batteries as an ideal replacement for rechargeable Li-ion batteries. However, the larger size and strong Na+-Na+ interaction create multidimensional phase instability and transformation problems, especially in layer-structured NaxMO2 (Mn, Co, Fe, and Ni) that inhibit the direct transformation of rechargeable Li-ion battery technology to Na-ion batteries. However, framework structures offer superior structural stability due to the interconnection of polyanions or polyhedra forming cationic octahedra. Sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type structures are well known for their superior Na+ ion transport and are identified as intercalative hosts as electrodes for rechargeable Na-ion batteries. Here, we report the synthesis of Na3Fe2PO4(SO4)2 in a NASICON framework structure and its investigation as a cathode in a Na/Na3Fe2PO4(SO4)2 cell working on the Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple. The cell provides a single-phase reaction having a capacity approaching 70 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C after 50 cycles in the voltage range of 2 to 4.2 V, with a columbic efficiency approaching 100%. The large availability of Na and Fe with the stable redox and charge/discharge performance of NASICON-type Na3Fe2PO4(SO4)2 make it a possible cathode candidate for next-generation rechargeable sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries of high energy density and overall performance are becoming a critically important technology in the rapidly changing society of the twenty-first century. While lithium-ion batteries have so far been the dominant choice, numerous emerging applications call for higher capacity, better safety and lower costs while maintaining sufficient cyclability. The design space for potentially better alternatives is extremely large, with numerous new chemistries and architectures being simultaneously explored. These include other insertion ions (e.g. sodium and numerous multivalent ions), conversion electrode materials (e.g. silicon, metallic anodes, halides and chalcogens) and aqueous and solid electrolytes. However, each of these potential "beyond lithium-ion" alternatives faces numerous challenges that often lead to very poor cyclability, especially at the commercial cell level, while lithium-ion batteries continue to improve in performance and decrease in cost. This review examines fundamental principles to rationalise these numerous developments, and in each case, a brief overview is given on the advantages, advances, remaining challenges preventing cell-level implementation and the state-of-the-art of the solutions to these challenges. Finally, research and development results obtained in academia are compared to emerging commercial examples, as a commentary on the current and near-future viability of these "beyond lithium-ion" alternatives.

Abstract
Ion mobility is a critical performance parameter not only in electrochemical energy storage and conversion but also in other electrochemical devices. On the basis of first-principles electronic structure calculations, we have derived a descriptor for the ion mobility in battery electrodes and solid electrolytes. This descriptor is entirely composed of observables that are easily accessible: ionic radii, oxidation states, and the Pauling electronegativities of the involved species. Within a particular class of materials, the migration barriers are connected to this descriptor through linear scaling relations upon the variation of either the cation chemistry of the charge carriers or the anion chemistry of the host lattice. The validity of these scaling relations indicates that a purely ionic view falls short of capturing all factors influencing ion mobility in solids. The identification of these scaling relations has the potential to significantly accelerate the discovery of materials with desired mobility properties.

Abstract
Nowadays, rechargeable batteries utilizing an S cathode together with an Mg anode are under substantial interest and development. The review is made from the point of view of materials engaged during the development of the Mg–S batteries, their sulfur cathodes, magnesium anodes, electrolyte systems, current collectors, and separators. Simultaneously, various hazards related to the use of such materials are discussed. It was found that the most numerous groups of hazards are posed by the material groups of cathodes and electrolytes. Such hazards vary widely in type and degree of danger and are related to human bodies, aquatic life, flammability of materials, or the release of flammable or toxic gases by the latter.

Abstract
We study here the Mg-polysulfide confinement inside two structurally different model porous materials, viz., toray carbon paper (TC) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT), using operando Raman and postcycling ex-situ UV-vis spectroscopy. Sulfur encapsulated inside CNT (CNT-S) and TC (TC-S) serves as S-cathodes in a rechargeable room temperature Mg|S battery. Operando Raman spectroscopy indicates the presence of higher-order Mg-polysulfides at the CNT cathode. This is due to the combination of their entrapment inside CNT and also possibly to their localization in the liquid electrolyte in the vicinity of CNT-S. This finding is directly correlated to the ex-situ UV-vis spectroscopy, which shows a lesser degree of Mg-polysulfide dissolution into the electrolyte solution. In comparison, TC-S, where sulfur is encapsulated within the open matrix formed by the nanofiber network of the carbon paper, displays poorer polysulfide confinement. The distinct differences in their abilities to confine the Mg-polysulfides are corroborated by battery performance. In the current density range (0.05-1) C, the battery with CNT-S displays much higher specific capacities, being nearly two times that of TC-S at 1 C.

Abstract
Although magnesium rechargeable batteries (MRBs) have gained considerable attention, research relating to MRBs is still in its infancy. One issue is that magnesium ions are difficult to reversibly (de)intercalate in most electrode materials. Among various available cathodes, VO2(B) is a promising layered cathode material for use in MRBs. Totally different from monolayer VO2, the magnesiation mechanism in monoclinic bulk VO2(B) has not been clearly clarified to this day. For the first time, we systematically investigated the influence of magnetism and van der Waals (vdW) forces on the electronic structure and diffusion kinetics of magnesium in bulk VO2(B) using a series of DFT+U calculations. The Mg diffusivity can reach a high value of 1.62 × 10-7 cm2 s-1 at 300 K, which is comparable to Li+. These results demonstrate that VO2(B) is a potential host material with high mobility and fast kinetics.

Abstract
Cost-effective and sustainable battery materials for large-scale batteries are the need of the hour to garner renewable energy with high-performance metal battery technologies. Here, we report the high-performance and long cycle life electrolyte prepared from low-cost triethylamine hydrochloride (Et3NHCl) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3) termed as (TA) with different concentrations of magnesium diethylphosphate (Mg(DEP)2) salt. The optimized ratio of the 0.1 M Mg(DEP)2 electrolyte has shown a high ionic conductivity of 4.5 × 10-3 S cm-1 at ambient temperature and good anodic stability of 2.41 V vs. Mg/Mg2+. The dissolution/deposition of magnesium (Mg) on a Pt working electrode was systematically analyzed in this electrolyte. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the Mg-graphite battery was used to probe the intercalation/de-intercalation of Mg-AlCl4- ions into/from the graphite layer structure. This was confirmed by various analytical techniques, such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction technique and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Notably, during the galvanostatic study analysis, the assembled Mg cell delivered a high discharge capacity of 115 mA h g-1 at a high C/10 rate, with more than 180 cycles at >80% coulombic efficiency. This electrolyte will be helpful in grid-scale power storage systems in future generations.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have been considered a promising energy-storage device due to their high energy density and high safety, but they still suffer from a lack of high-rate performance and cycle performance of the cathode. Nanosized CuCo2 S4 /Cu7.2 S4 composites have been synthesized for the first time by a facile solvothermal method. Herein, the magnesium ion storage behavior when applied in the cathode for RMBs is discussed. Electrochemical results demonstrated that the CuCo2 S4 /Cu7.2 S4 composites exhibit a high initial discharge capacity of 256 mAh g-1 at 10 mA g-1 and 123 mAh g-1 at 300 mA g-1 at room temperature and an outstanding long-term cyclic stability over 300 cycles at 300 mA g-1 . Furthermore, the electrochemical storage mechanism demonstrated that the storage process of magnesium ion in the CuCo2 S4 /Cu7.2 S4 cathode is mainly driven by strong pseudocapacitive effects.

Abstract
Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), we study the aluminum fluoride (AlF3) intercalation in graphite as a new possibility to use this molecule in rechargeable batteries, and understand its role when used as a component of the solvent. We discuss the most stable configuration of the AlF3 molecule in graphite for stage-2 and stage-1 and the diffusion study of the molecule, the migration pathways and the energy barriers. Our results show an average voltage of 3.18 V for stage-2 and 3.44 V for stage-1, which is excellent for anion intercalated batteries. Furthermore, low diffusion energy barriers of the AlF3 intercalant molecules were found (the lowest diffusion energy barrier was 0.17 eV with a diffusion constant in the order of 10-5 cm2 s-1), which could lead to fast (dis)charging of a battery based on AlF3. The present study provides important information to understand the intercalation mechanism of AlF3 graphite layer electrodes, thus encouraging more experimental studies of this system.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries based on Li-ion and post Li-ion chemistry have come a long way since their inception in the early 1980s. The last four decades have witnessed steady development and discovery of myriads of cathode materials taking into account their processing, economy, and performance along with ecological sustainability. Though oxides rule the battery sector with their high energy and power density, polyanionic insertion compounds work as gold mines for designing insertion compounds with rich structural diversity leading to tuneable redox potential coupled with high structural/chemical/thermal stability. The scope of polyanionic compounds can be taken a step further by combining two or more different types of polyanions to get suites of mixed polyanionic materials. While most cathodes are built with metal polyhedra constituted by oxygen (MOm|XOm, M = 3d metals, X = P, S, Si, B, W, etc., m = 3-6), in some cases, selected oxygen sites can form bonding with hydrogen to form OH/H2O ligands. It can lead to the family of hydroxy-based mixed-polyanionic cathode materials. The presence of hydroxy components can affect the crystal structure, local chemical bonding, and electronic, magnetic, diffusivity and electrochemical properties. Employing a mineralogical survey, the current review renders a sneak peek on various hydroxy-based polyanionic cathode materials for Li-ion and post Li-ion batteries. Their crystal structure, and electrochemical properties have been overviewed to outline future research focus and scope for real-life application.

Abstract
Description of redox reactions is critically important for understanding and rational design of materials for electrochemical technologies, including metal-ion batteries, catalytic surfaces, or redox-flow cells. Most of these technologies utilize redox-active transition metal compounds due to their rich chemistry and their beneficial physical and chemical properties for these types of applications. A century since its introduction, the concept of formal oxidation states (FOS) is still widely used for rationalization of the mechanisms of redox reactions, but there exists a well-documented discrepancy between FOS and the electron density-derived charge states of transition metal ions in their bulk and molecular compounds. We summarize our findings and those of others which suggest that density-driven descriptors are, in certain cases, better suited to characterize the mechanism of redox reactions, especially when anion redox is involved, which is the blind spot of the FOS ansatz.

Abstract
Functionalized carbon nanomaterials are potential candidates for use as anode materials in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). The inevitable defect sites in the architectures significantly affect the physicochemical properties of the carbon nanomaterials, thus defect engineering has recently become a vital research area for carbon-based electrodes. However, one of the major issues holding back its further development is the lack of a complete understanding of the effects accounting for the potassium (K) storage of different carbon defects, which have remained elusive. Owing to pressing research demands, the construction strategies, adsorption difficulties, and structure-activity relationships of the carbon defect-involved reaction centers for the K adsorption are systematically summarized using first principles calculations. Carbon defects affect the ability to trap K by affecting the geometry, charge distribution, and conductive behavior of the carbon surface. The results show that carbon doping with pyridinic-N, pyrrolic-N, and P defect sites tend to act as trapping K sites because of electron-deficient sites. However, graphite-N and sulfur doping are less capable of trapping K. In addition, it has been proved using calculations that the defects can inhibit the growth of the K dendrite. Finally, using the molten salt method, we prepared the undoped and nitrogen-doped carbon materials for comparison, verifying the results of the calculation.

Abstract
Magnesium metal batteries (MMBs) have obtained the reputation owing to the high volumetric capacity, low reduction potential, and dendrite-free deposition behavior of the Mg metal anode. However, the bivalent nature of the Mg2+ causes its strong coulombic interaction with the cathode host, which limits the reaction kinetics and reversibility of MMBs, especially based on oxide cathodes. Herein, a synergetic modulation of host pillaring and electrolyte formulation is proposed to activate the layered V2 O5 cathode with expanded interlayers via sequential intercalations of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The preservation of bundled nanowire texture, copillaring behavior of PEDOT and CTA+ , dual-insertion mode of Mg2+ and MgCl+ at cathode side enable the better charge transfers in both the bulk and interface paths as well as the interaction mitigation effect between Mg-species cations and host lattices. The introduction of CTA+ as electrolyte additive can also lower the interface resistance and smoothen the Mg anode morphology. These modifications endow the full cells coupled with metallic Mg anode with the maximized reversible capacity (288.7 mAh g-1 ) and superior cyclability (over 500 cycles at 500 mA g-1 ), superior to most already reported Mg-ion shuttle batteries even based on passivation-resistant non-Mg anodes or operated at higher temperatures.

Abstract
We investigated the possible use of a hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene nanographene (HCHN) as an anode material for Mg-ion batteries (MIBs) implementing the B3LYP-gCP-D3/6-31G* scheme. The Mg cation or atom is adsorbed on the HCHN with the adsorption energy of - 200.3 or - 4.7 kcal/mol. The energy barrier related to transferring Mg cation on the HCHN surface was calculated to be 7.5 kcal/mol, producing the diffusion coefficient of 1.90 × 10-8 cm2/s. It shows that the ion mobility is high and the rate of charge or discharge is fast. The calculated specific storage capacity of HCHN is 589.4 mAh/g and the great cell voltage is 4.23 V that is generated by the interaction of cation-π between Mg2+ and HCHN, which is strong. The HCHN is considered an ideal candidate to be used as an anode material in MIBs since its storage capacity and ion mobility are high, and it has a large cell voltage.

Abstract
Research on next-generation battery technologies (beyond Li-ion batteries, or LIBs) has been accelerating over the past few years. A key challenge for these emerging batteries has been the lack of suitable electrode materials, which severely limits their further developments. MXenes, a new class of 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides, are proposed as electrode materials for these emerging batteries due to several desirable attributes. These attributes include large and tunable interlayer spaces, excellent hydrophilicity, extraordinary conductivity, compositional diversity, and abundant surface chemistries, making MXenes promising not only as electrode materials but also as other components in the cells of emerging batteries. Herein, an overview and assessment of the utilization of MXenes in rechargeable batteries beyond LIBs, including alkali-ion (e.g., Na+ , K+ ) storage, multivalent-ion (e.g., Mg2+ , Zn2+ , and Al3+ ) storage, and metal batteries are presented. In particular, the synthetic strategies and properties of MXenes that enable MXenes to play various roles as electrodes, metal anode protective layers, sulfur hosts, separator modification layers, and conductive additives in these emerging batteries are discussed. Moreover, a perspective on promising future research directions on MXenes and MXene-based materials, ranging from material design and processing, fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms, to device performance optimization strategies is provided.

Abstract
The full extent to which the electrochemical properties of MoS2 electrodes are influenced by their morphological characteristics, such as crystalline disorder, remains unclear. Here, we report that disorder introduced by ball-milling decreases the Faradaic component of cell capacity and leads to increasingly pseudo-capacitive behaviour. After high temperature annealing, a more battery-like character of the cell is restored, consistent with a decrease in disorder. These findings aid the optimisation of MoS2 electrodes, which show promise in several battery technologies.

Abstract
The modulation of the characteristics of an MoS2 anode via substitutional doping, particularly N, P and Se, is vital for promoting the potassium-ion storage performances. However, these traditional chalcogen doping can only take the place of a sulfur element and not essentially change the inherent electrical nature of MoS2. Herein, novel Te-MoS2 materials have been synthesized via a simple hydrothermal process under Te doping. A half-metallic Te occupies the position of an Mo atom to form Te-S bonds, which is different from the same group Se element. After theoretical modeling and electrochemical measurements, it was observed that the formation of Te-S bonds can increase the electrical conductivity (about 530 times increment) and mitigate the mechanical stress to ensure the whole structural stability during the repeated insertion/extraction of K-ions. Moreover, the insertion of Te into the lattice of MoS2 generated the fractional phase transformation from 2H to the 1T phase of MoS2 and 1T&2H in-plane hetero-junction. Benefiting from these advantages, the 1T&2H Te-MoS2 anode delivered high capacities of 718 and 342 mA h g-1 at 50 and 5000 mA g-1, respectively, and an ultra-stable cycling performance (88.1% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1). Moreover, the potassium-ion full cell assembled with K2Fe[Fe(CN)6] as the cathode demonstrates its practical application.

Abstract
The need for clean and efficient energy storage has become the center of attention due to the eminent global energy crisis and growing ecological concerns. A key component in this effort is the ultra-high performance battery, which will play a major role in the energy industry. To meet the demands in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage systems, it is necessary to prepare advanced batteries with high safety, fast charge ratios, and discharge capabilities at a low cost. Cathode materials play a significant role in determining the performance of batteries. Among the possible electrode materials is vanadium pentoxide, which will be discussed in this review, due to its low cost and high theoretical capacity. Additionally, aqueous electrolytes, which are environmentally safe, provide an alternative approach compared to organic media for safe, cost-effective, and scalable energy storage. In this review, we will reveal the industrial potential of competitive methods to grow cathodes with excellent stability and enhanced electrochemical performance in aqueous media and lay the foundation for the large-scale production of electrode materials.

Abstract
Potassium ion batteries (PIBs) with the prominent advantages of sufficient reserves and economical cost are attractive candidates of new rechargeable batteries for large-grid electrochemical energy storage systems (EESs). However, there are still some obstacles like large size of K+ to commercial PIBs applications. Therefore, rational structural design based on appropriate materials is essential to obtain practical PIBs anode with K+ accommodated and fast diffused. Nanostructural design has been considered as one of the effective strategies to solve these issues owing to unique physicochemical properties. Accordingly, quite a few recent anode materials with different dimensions in PIBs have been reported, mainly involving in carbon materials, metal-based chalcogenides (MCs), metal-based oxides (MOs), and alloying materials. Among these anodes, nanostructural carbon materials with shorter ionic transfer path are beneficial for decreasing the resistances of transportation. Besides, MCs, MOs, and alloying materials with nanostructures can effectively alleviate their stress changes. Herein, these materials are classified into 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D. Particularly, the relationship between different dimensional structures and the corresponding electrochemical performances has been outlined. Meanwhile, some strategies are proposed to deal with the current disadvantages. Hope that the readers are enlightened from this review to carry out further experiments better.

Abstract
Copper sulfides are broadly explored as the possible cathode materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries on account of their high theoretical capacity of 560 mAh g-1. However, the CuS cathodes usually suffer from serious capacity decay caused by structure collapse during the repeated magnesiation/demagnesiation process. Herein, we present a cuprous self-doping strategy to synthesize mesoporous CuS nanotubes with robust structural stability for rechargeable magnesium batteries and regulate their electrochemical magnesium storage behavior. Electrochemical results show that the mesoporous CuS nanotubes can exhibit high specific capacity, remarkable cycling performance, and good rate capability. The observed discharge capacity of the mesoporous CuS nanotubes could reach about 281.2 mAh g-1 at 20 mA g-1 and 168.9 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1. Furthermore, a remarkable ultralong-term cyclic stability with a reversible capacity of 72.5 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 is obtained after 550 cycles. These results demonstrate that the mesoporous nanotube structure and the simple cuprous self-doping effect could promote the practical application of copper sulfide cathode materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries.

Abstract
Among post-lithium ion batteries, magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) are receiving growing attention due to their divalent nature, intrinsic low cost, dendrite free cycling, and atmospheric stability. However, their realization is constrained because of the absence of suitable cathodes that can accommodate Mg2+ with fast reversibility. To bypass the sluggish movement of Mg2+ ions inside the cathode and utilize the full advantage of the Mg anode, a Mg2+/Li+ hybrid ion battery (MLIB) is introduced here with rationally designed porous Ni/Zn co-doped CoS2@C spheres as the cathode material. The Ni/Zn-CoS2@C cathode with high porosity and electrical conductivity showed an appreciable specific capacity of 158 mA h g-1 at 20 mA g-1 for MIBs, which was significantly boosted up to 667 mA h g-1 at a current density of 50 mA g-1 by employing Mg2+/Li+ hybrid electrolytes. Their specific capacity and the corresponding energy density (614 W h Kg-1) are the highest among MLIBs and comparable to those of lithium ion batteries. Furthermore, MLIBs displayed significant cycling stability by retaining the maximum specific capacities of 324.6 and 230 mA h g-1 at 100 and 500 mA g-1, respectively after 100 cycles. The excellent electrochemical properties of the synthesized cathodes are attributed to their high porosities and electrical conductivities, the synergistic effect of doped species and their capability to accommodate both Mg2+ and Li+ ions without side reactions. Various ex situ characterization tools were employed to develop further understanding of the intercalation chemistries and mechanisms of both Mg2+ and Li+ ions inside host materials.

Abstract
Li-ion batteries have many advantages, but these batteries suffer from safety problems, short lifetime, and a high cost. Nontoxicity, wide availability, and low cost of potassium offer the K-ion batteries (KIB) as a replacement to the Li-ion batteries. The B3LYP-gCP-D3 approach of density functional theory is applied to examine the probable application of graphyne in the anode of KIBs. It is found that a triangular hollow is the most favorable site for the K or K+ adsorption, releasing energies about 16.3 or 41.1 kcal/mol. The released energies for K and K+ have been reported to be about 16.8 and 34.2 kcal/mol for graphene sheet, respectively, which generate a cell voltage of 0.75 V. A high K storage capacity of 241 mAh/g and cell voltage of 1.08 V are predicted for graphyne. The maximum barrier energies for the displacement of K or K+ on the surface of graphyne are computed to be 2.8 (~ 3.4 for K/graphene) or 5.6 kcal/mol, representing an excellent ion mobility due to the low energy barriers. Consequently, we suggest the graphyne sheet as an anode material for the KIBs owing to its high diffusion ability, high cell voltage, and high storage capacity.
