Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), thanks to the cost-effectiveness of potassium resources and a favorable redox potential of approximately -2.936 V. The monoclinic BiVO4, known for its layered structure, shows noteworthy electrochemical properties when utilized as an anode material for both LIBs and sodium-ion batteries. However, the fundamental electrochemical reaction mechanisms of the BiVO4 anode during the potassium insertion/extraction processes remain unclear. Here, we constructed a BiVO4 anode PIB inside the transmission electron microscope (TEM) to explore the real-time potassiation/depotassiation behaviors of BiVO4 during electrochemical cycling. Utilizing the state-of-art in situ TEM technique, the BiVO4 nanorods are found to undergo an asymmetric phase transformation for the first time, where the pristine BiVO4 material is transformed into an amorphous KxBiVO4 phase after the first cycle. More interestingly, the anode materials near and far from the potassium source exhibit opposite volume-changing trends under the same voltage potential. Also, this phenomenon should be attributed to the mass flow of the unstable K-Bi alloy under the electric field. Our findings provide significant insights into the electrochemical mechanism of BiVO4 nanorods during the potassiation/depotassiation process, with the hope of assistance in designing anodes for high-performance PIBs.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 671:78-87.

Abstract
Aqueous ammonium ion batteries (AAIBs) are garnering increasing attention due to their utilization of abundant resources, cost-effectiveness, safety, and unique energy storage mechanism. The pursuit of high-performance cathode materials has become a pressing issue. In this study, we propose and synthesize ferrocene-embedded hydrated vanadium pentoxide (Fer/VOH) for implementation in AAIBs. The inclusion of ferrocene serves to expand the interlayer spacing, mitigate interlayer forces, and introduce the electron-rich environment characteristic of ferrocene. This augmentation facilitates the creation of additional oxygen vacancies, substantially enhancing the capacity and efficiency of ammonium ion storage. Notably, our investigation reveals that the incorporation of ferrocene attenuates the hydrogen bonding interactions associated with ammonium ions, rendering them more amenable to the interlayer embedding and release processes. Building upon these advantages, Fer/VOH exhibits a specific capacity of 313 mAh/g at a current density of 0.2 A/g, representing the highest reported performance among vanadium oxides utilized in AAIBs to date. Even after 2000 charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 2 A/g, Fer/VOH maintains a reversible specific capacity of 89 mAh/g, with a capacity retention rate of 54.8%. This study confirms the viability of Fer/VOH as a cathode material for AAIBs and offers a novel approach to enhancing the electrical conductivity and diminishing the hydrogen bonding forces in vanadium oxide intercalation through the embedding of electron-rich species and positronic groups.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the composition of oxide films formed on SA106 Gr.B carbon steel in nitrite solutions at 35 °C for 1000 h. The product of the reduction of nitrite during the corrosion inhibition process was also examined. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed that a thin Fe3O4 film was formed and ammonium ions were adsorbed on the outermost surface of the oxide film. The presence of ammonium ions was also demonstrated by ion chromatography. These results indicate that nitrites are reduced to ammonium ions, which in turn promotes the formation of the protective Fe3O4 film.

Abstract
Li-ion battery is currently considered to be the most proven technology for energy storage systems when it comes to the overall combination of energy, power, cyclability and cost. However, there are continuous expectations for cost reduction in large-scale applications, especially in electric vehicles and grids, alongside growing concerns over safety, availability of natural resources for lithium, and environmental remediation. Therefore, industry and academia have consequently shifted their focus towards 'beyond Li-ion technologies'. In this respect, other non-Li-based alkali-ion/polyvalent-ion batteries, non-Li-based all solid-state batteries, fluoride-ion/ammonium-ion batteries, redox-flow batteries, sand batteries and hydrogen fuel cells etc. are becoming potential cost-effective alternatives. While there has been notable swift advancement across various materials, chemistries, architectures, and applications in this field, a comprehensive overview encompassing high-energy 'beyond Li-ion' technologies, along with considerations of commercial viability, is currently lacking. Therefore, in this review article, a rationalized approach is adopted to identify notable 'post-Li' candidates. Their pros and cons are comprehensively presented by discussing the fundamental principles in terms of material characteristics, relevant chemistries, and architectural developments that make a good high-energy 'beyond Li' storage system. Furthermore, a concise summary outlining the primary challenges of each system is provided, alongside the potential strategies being implemented to mitigate these issues. Additionally, the extent to which these strategies have positively influenced the performance of these 'post-Li' technologies is discussed.

Abstract
Aqueous nonmetallic ion batteries have garnered significant interest due to their cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and inherent safety features. Specifically, ammonium ion (NH4+) as a charge carrier has garnered more and more attention recently. However, one of the persistent challenges is enhancing the electrochemical properties of vanadium dioxide (VO2) with a tunnel structure, which serves as a highly efficient NH4+ (de)intercalation host material. Herein, a novel architecture, wherein carbon-coated VO2 nanobelts (VO2@C) with a core-shell structure are engineered to augment NH4+ storage capabilities of VO2. In detail, VO2@C is synthesized via the glucose reduction of vanadium pentoxide under hydrothermal conditions. Experimental results manifest that the introduction of the carbon layer on VO2 nanobelts can enhance mass transfer, ion transport and electrochemical kinetics, thereby culminating in the improved NH4+ storage efficiency. VO2@C core-shell composite exhibits a remarkable specific capacity of ∼300 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g, which is superior to that of VO2 (∼238 mAh/g) and various other electrode materials used for NH4+ storage. The NH4+ storage mechanism can be elucidated by the reversible NH4+ (de)intercalation within the tunnel of VO2, facilitated by the dynamic formation and dissociation of hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, when integrated into a full battery with polyaniline (PANI) cathode, the VO2@C//PANI full battery demonstrates robust electrochemical performances, including a specific capacity of ∼185 mAh·g-1 at 0.2 A·g-1, remarkable durability of 93 % retention after 1500 cycles, as well as high energy density of 58 Wh·kg-1 at 5354 W·kg-1. This work provides a pioneering approach to design and explore composite materials for efficient NH4+ storage, offering significant implications for future battery technology enhancements.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous ammonium ion (NH4 +) batteries have attracted much attention due to the unique properties of NH4 +. Polyaniline (PA) with outstanding conductivity is a potential cathode material, but it can be oxidized to pernigraniline (PG) rapidly, resulting in its poor stability. In this study, polyaniline@poly(o-fluoroaniline)@carbon layer (PA@POFA@C) is prepared for excellent and durable NH4 + storage. PA@POFA@C exhibits a high capacity of 208 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and maintains 126 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1. More importantly, an excellent capacity retention rate of 88.24% is achieved after 2000 cycles with ≈100% coulombic efficiency. Spectroscopy studies suggest analogous confinement effect can effectively limit the escape of hydrogen in imine group, and form the hydrogen-restricted region between the PA and POFA layer which can provide H+ for the complete reduction of PG. Meanwhile, the hydrophobic effect of POFA effectively restrains the hydrolysis of PG. Interestingly, the introduction of C layer improves the hydrophilicity of electrode and shortens the activation process, serving as the outermost protective layer of the electrode. Finally, PA@POFA@C achieves desirable electrochemical performances with analogous confinement effect. This research provides ideas for the preparation of advanced polymer electrodes for aqueous NH4 + batteries.

Abstract
The layered orthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) is a promising host material for NH4 + storage. But its electrochemical performances are still unsatisfactory due to the absence of fundamental understanding on the relationship between structure and property. Herein, NH4 + storage properties of α-MoO3 are elaborately studied. Electrochemistry together with ex situ physical characterizations uncover that irreversible H+/NH4 + co-intercalation in the initial cycle confines the electrochemically reactive domain to the near surface of α-MoO3 thus resulting in a low reversible NH4 + storage capacity. This issue can be resolved by decreasing ion diffusion pathway to construct short-range ordered α-MoO3 (SMO), which improves the specific capacity to 185 mAh g-1. SMO suffers from dissolution issue. In view of this the interlayer structure of SMO is reconstructed via hydrogen bond chemistry to reinforce the structural stability and it is discovered that the hydrogen bond network only with moderate intensity endows SMO with both high capacity and ability against dissolution. This work presents a new avenue to improve the NH4 + storage properties of α-MoO3 and highlights the important role of hydrogen bond intensity in optimizing electrochemical properties.

Abstract
A novel nanocomposite material, ferric vanadate intertwined multi-walled carbon nanotubes (FeV/MWCNTs), has been designed which was drop-coated onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The constructed sensor was used for the sensitive determination of uric acid (UA) in fetal bovine serum (FBS) and human serum (HS). A series of characterization and electrochemical tests showed that the ultrasound-assisted assembly of FeV with MWCNTs not only overcame the disadvantages of low conductivity and easy (unwanted) aggregation, but also avoided the decrease in effective surface area due to the severe aggregation of each individual raw material. The fabricated FeV/MWCNTs nanocomposites exhibited higher conductivity, larger effective surface area, and better electrocatalytic activity. In addition, under optimized conditions, the developed electrochemical sensor FeV/MWCNTs/GCE has a lower limit of detection (LOD, 0.05 µM; Ep = 0.268 V vs. Ag/AgCl) and wider linear range (0.20-100 µM), which can satisfy the criteria of trace UA detection. The results of UA determination in FBS (recovery = 95.5-103%; RSD ≤ 3.1%) and HS (recovery = 95.5-103%; RSD ≤ 4.3%) further validated the feasibility of FeV/MWCNTs-based electrochemical sensors for the determination of UA in biological fluids.

Abstract
Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) has been widely studied in the energy storage field due to its various phase states and unique structural advantages. Among them, lamellar α-phase MoO3 (α-MoO3) and tunnel-like h-phase MoO3 (h-MoO3) have attracted much attention. In this study, we demonstrate that vanadate ion (VO3-) can transform α-MoO3 (a thermodynamically stable phase) to h-MoO3 (a metastable phase) by altering the connection of [MoO6] octahedra configurations. h-MoO3 with VO3- inserted (referred to as h-MoO3-V) as the cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) exhibits excellent Zn2+ storage performances. The improvement in electrochemical properties is attributed to the open tunneling structure of the h-MoO3-V, which offers more active sites for Zn2+ (de)intercalation and diffusion. As expected, the Zn//h-MoO3-V battery delivers specific capacity of 250 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1 and rate capability (73% retention from 0.1 to 1 A·g-1, 80 cycles), well exceeding those of Zn//h-MoO3 and Zn//α-MoO3 batteries. This study demonstrates that the tunneling structure of h-MoO3 can be modulated by VO3- to enhance the electrochemical properties for AZIBs. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights for the synthesis, development and future applications of h-MoO3.

Abstract
Ammonium-ion batteries (AIBs) have attracted intense interest lately as promising energy storage systems due to their light weight, safe, inexpensive, and widely available advantages. It is of great significance to find a fast ammonium ion conductor for the electrode of AIBs that directly affects the electrochemical performance of the battery. Using high-throughput bond-valence calculation, we screened the electrode materials of AIBs with a low diffusion barrier from more than 8000 compounds in the ICSD database. Twenty-seven candidate materials were finally identified by the bond-valence sum method and density functional theory. Their electrochemical properties were further analyzed. Our results, which give the relationship between the structure and electrochemical properties of various important electrode materials which are suitable for AIBs development, may pave the way for next-generation energy storage systems.

Abstract
The limited choice of anode materials always challenges the development of high performance aqueous ammonium-ion batteries (AAIBs). Herein, we fabricate amorphous molybdenum oxide (MoOx) materials and study the NH4+ storage performances. The results indicate that the optimized electrode exhibits high gravimetric/areal capacities of 175 mA h g-1/1.30 mA h cm-2, outperforming state-of-the-art anode materials for AAIBs. Our findings indicate that the valence state of Mo and the Mo-O-H content in MoOx synergistically control the NH4+ storage performances, offering new understanding for rational design of MoOx materials for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Batteries using a water-based electrolyte have the potential to be safer, more durable, less prone to thermal runaways, and less costly than current lithium batteries using an organic solvent. Among the possible aqueous battery options, ammonium-ion batteries (AIBs) are very appealing because the base materials are light, safe, inexpensive, and widely available. This review gives a concise and useful survey of recent progress on emerging AIBs, starting with a brief overview of AIBs, followed by cathode materials, anode materials, electrolytes, and various devices based on ammonium-ion storage. Aside from summarizing the most updated electrodes/electrolytes in AIBs, this review highlights fundamental mechanistic studies in AIBs and state-of-the art applications of ammonium-ion storage. The present work reviews various theoretical efforts and the spectrum studies that have been used to explore ionic transport kinetics, electrolyte structure, solvation behavior of ammonium ions, and the intercalation mechanism in the host structure. Furthermore, diverse applications of ammonium-ion storage apart from aqueous AIBs are discussed, including flexible AIBs, AIBs that can operate across a wide temperature range, ammonium-ion supercapacitors, and battery-supercapacitor hybrid devices. Finally, the review is concluded with perspectives of AIBs, challenges remaining in the field, and possible research directions to address these challenges to boost the performance of AIBs for real-world practical applications.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous batteries are promising devices for large-scale energy-storage applications because of their low-cost, inherent safety, and environmental friendliness. Among them, aqueous ammonium-ion (NH4 + ) batteries (AAIB) are currently emerging owing to the fast diffusion kinetics of NH4 + . Nevertheless, it is still a challenge to obtain stable AAIB with relatively high output potential, considering the instability of many electrode materials in an aqueous environment. Herein, a cell based on a concentrated (5.8 m) aqueous (NH4 )2 SO4 electrolyte, ammonium copper hexacyanoferrate (N-CuHCF) as the positive electrode (cathode), and 3,4,9,10-perylene-bis(dicarboximide) (PTCDI) as the negative electrode (anode) is reported. The solvation structure, electrochemical properties, as well as the electrode-electrolyte interface and interphase are systematically investigated by the combination of theoretical and experimental methods. The results indicate a remarkable cycling performance of the low-cost rocking-chair AAIB, which offers a capacity retention of ≈72% after 1000 cycles and an average output potential of ≈1.0 V.

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

Abstract
Ammonium ions (NH4+), as non-metallic charge carriers, have spurred great research interest in the realm of aqueous batteries. Unfortunately, most inorganic host materials used in these batteries are still limited by the sluggish diffusion kinetics. Here, we report a unique hydrogen bond chemistry to employ covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for NH4+ ion storage, which achieves a high capacity of 220.4 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. Combining the theoretical simulation and materials analysis, a universal mechanism for the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen bridged by hydrogen bonds is revealed. In addition, we explain the solvation behavior of NH4+, leading to a relationship between redox potential and desolvation energy barrier. This work provides a new insight into NH4+ ion storage in host materials based on hydrogen bond chemistry. This mechanism can be leveraged to design and develop COFs for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Vanadium oxides attract much attention and are concerned as one of the most promising cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) owing to the layered structures. However, their intensive development is limited by the fragile structures and laggard ion-transferring. Herein, Mn2+ inserted hydrated vanadium pentoxide nanobelts/reduced graphene oxide (MnxV2O5·nH2O/rGO, abbreviated as MnVOH/rGO) was prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal process, delivering excellent electrochemical properties for AZIBs. The Zn//MnVOH/rGO cell operates well even at changing current densities over 45 cycles, behaving 361 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1, 323 mAh·g-1 as the current density gradually increasing to 2 A·g-1 and 350 mAh·g-1 when gradually back to 0.1 A·g-1 (∼97% of initial capacity). Such a superb cycling and rate performance is ascribed to the unique stable structure with the compact electrostatic attraction between Mn2+ and V2O5·nH2O (VOH) laminate. On the one hand, Mn2+ generates electrostatic network with [VO6] polyhedrons and suppresses the following electrostatic trap for the moving Zn2+. On the other hand, rGO improves the conductivity, endowing the high capacity and energy density. The performance of the MnVOH/rGO cathode exceeds most of vanadium-based cathodes applying in AZIBs and paves the way to the ideal energy storage system.

Abstract
Aqueous electrochemical energy storage systems (AEESS) are considered as the most promising energy storage devices for large-scale energy storage. AEESSs, including batteries and supercapacitors, have received extensive attention due to their low cost, eco-friendliness, and high safety. However, the insufficient energy densities of the state-of-the-art AEESSs limit their practical applications which are mainly dominated by the electrochemical performances of individual electrode materials. Understanding the underlying relationship between structures, reaction mechanisms, and performances can further lead to the design and optimization of structures of the electrodes instructively, thereby harvesting favorable performances. This review classified the intrinsic logic of structure-mechanism-performance by taking some prevailing mechanisms with some classical structures of materials as examples. Moreover, some problem-oriented structural engineering strategies are proposed aiming to optimize their performance. Finally, comprehensive structural design engineering and some suggestions for fine modifications of electrode materials at the atomic and molecular levels are proposed to combine the advantages of supercapacitor- and battery-type materials for designing excellent electrode materials for AEESSs.
