Abstract
Layered sodium vanadium materials have aroused increasing interest owing to their open layered structures and high theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, the strong electrostatic interactions between vanadium oxide layers and intercalated Zn2+ and the weak electronic conductivity severely limit their further development. Here, we design a series of cobalt ion-doped sodium vanadium electrode materials with nanoflower-like morphologies. Due to the open interlayer space and improved electron transfer enabled by cobalt ion preintercalation and sufficient contact area between the electrode and electrolyte provided by the three-dimensional (3D) flower-like morphology, the cobalt ion-doped sodium vanadate (CNVO-2) cathode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, including an exceptional specific capacity (411 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1) and ultrahigh structural stability (90.4 % capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 10 A g-1), outperforming many advanced ZIBs cathode materials. In addition, through various ex situ characterization techniques, an ionic exchange and multiple ion cointercalation mechanism is first revealed in sodium vanadate cathode material.

Abstract
The improvement of sophisticated cathode materials plays a major role in boosting the efficiency of Zn-ion batteries. These batteries have garnered considerable interest as a result of their excellent energy density and the promise of cost-effective solutions for energy storage. In this work, we present a novel approach to progress the electrochemical investigation of Zn-ion batteries by expanding the interplanar distance of layered hydrated V2O3/V3O7 heterostructure nanosheets. Electrochemical investigations were conducted to assess the effectiveness of the stacked hydrated V2O3/V3O7 heterostructure as a cathode component for Zn-ion batteries. The expanded interplanar space as a result of the introduction of water molecules facilitates the insertion/extraction of Zn ions, leading to significantly enhanced electrochemical characteristics. The layered hydrated V2O3/V3O7 heterostructure exhibited an impressive specific capacity of 330 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1, maintaining a capacity retention of approximately 92.3% and a coulombic efficiency of 95.8% even after 2000 cycles.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (RAZIBs) with the merits of cost effectiveness and high safety have been rejuvenated as tantalizing energy storage systems to meet the demand for grid-scale applications. Currently, the energy storage capability of the positive electrode (cathode) holds the key for the overall performance of RAZIBs. In this work, we reveal VO2, V10O24·12H2O (HVO), and VO2/HVO can be prepared via hydrothermal reaction by using different reducing agents. VO2 exhibits high capacity of 237 mAh/g at 4 A/g, while it suffers from quick capacity decay with 48 % retention after 2000 charge/discharge cycles. On the contrary, HVO demonstrates moderate capacity but meritorious cycle stability (i.e., 173 mAh/g at 4 A/g and 82 % after 2000 cycles). By integrating the merits of high-capacity VO2 and high-stability HVO, the biphasic VO2/HVO sample exhibits promising electrochemical performance with high capacity (317 and 239 mAh/g at 1 and 4 A/g, respectively) and good cycle stability (80 % after 2000 cycles). As examined by band structure analysis, the superior electrochemical performance of VO2/HVO is attributed to the presence of a heterojunction between VO2 and HVO enabling a built-in electric field to boost electron transport kinetics, leading to high attainable capacity and reliable cycle performance in RAZIBs.

Vanadium oxides obtained by chimie douce reactions: The influences of transition metal species on crystal structures and electrochemical behaviors in zinc-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 608:3121-3129.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (RAZIBs) have received increasing attention due to cost-effectiveness and inherent safety. A wide variety of advanced cathode materials have been revealed with promising performance in RAZIBs. However, these materials usually require sophisticated procedures at high temperatures, which greatly limit further practical application. Herein, a chimie douce approach is adopted to prepare vanadium oxides from V2O5 suspension with the addition of various transition metal cations (Mn2+, Zn2+, Ag+, and Fe3+) by simple liquid-solid mixing under ambient conditions. For the cases of Mn2+ and Zn2+, the dissolution-recrystallization process takes place leading to layered Mn0.31V3O7·1.40H2O (MnVO) and Zn0.32V3O7·1.52H2O (ZnVO). The use of Ag+ forms tunneled Ag0.33V2O5 (AgVO), and the present of Fe3+ stays mainly unreacted V2O5. The underlying reaction chemistries are proposed, for which the pH values of precursor solutions are found to be a key factor. Among the prepared materials, layered vanadium oxides exhibit promising battery performance. Particularly, MnVO delivers 340 and 217 mAh g-1 at 1 and 8 A g-1, respectively. A specific capacity of 164 mAh g-1 can be retained after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1. By contrast, AgVO and FeVO demonstrate inferior performance with retaining only 89 and 20 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles.

Abstract
Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries stand out among many new batteries for their high energy density. However, the intermediate charge–discharge product dissolves easily into the electrolyte to produce a shuttle effect, which is a key factor limiting the rapid development of Li-S batteries. Among the various materials used to solve the challenges related to pure sulfur cathodes, biomass derived carbon materials are getting wider research attention. In this work, we report on the fabrication of cathode materials for Li-S batteries based on composites of sulfur and biomass-derived porous ramie carbon (RC), which are coated with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). RC can not only adsorb polysulfide in its pores, but also provide conductive channels. At the same time, the MWCNTs coating further reduces the dissolution of polysulfides into the electrolyte and weakens the shuttle effect. The sulfur loading rate of RC is 66.3 wt.%. As a result, the initial discharge capacity of the battery is 1325.6 mAh·g−1 at 0.1 C long cycle, and it can still maintain 812.5 mAh·g−1 after 500 cycles. This work proposes an effective double protection strategy for the development of advanced Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale electrical energy storage due to the inexpensive, safe, and non-toxic nature of zinc. One key area that requires further development is electrode materials that store Zn2+ ions with high reversibility and fast kinetics. To determine the viability of low-cost organosulfur compounds as OEMs for AZIBs, we investigate how structural modification affects electrochemical performance in Zn-thiolate complexes 1 and 2. Remarkably, modification of one thiolate in 1 to sulfide in 2 reduces the voltage hysteresis from 1.04 V to 0.15 V. While 1 exhibits negligible specific capacity due to the formation of insulating DMcT polymers, 2 delivers a capacity of 107 mA h g−1 with a primary discharge plateau at 1.1 V vs. Zn2+/Zn. Spectroscopic studies of 2 suggest a Zn2+ and H+ co-insertion mechanism with Zn2+ as the predominant charge carrier. Capacity fading in Zn-2 cells likely results from the formation of (i) soluble H+ insertion products and (ii) non-redox-active side products. Increasing electrolyte concentration and using a Nafion membrane significantly enhances the stability of 2 by suppressing H+ insertion. Our findings provide insight into the molecular design strategies to reduce the polarization potential and improve the cycling stability of the thiolate/disulfide redox couple in aqueous battery systems. This study demonstrates the viability of the thiolate/disulfide redox couple in AZIB applications, and provides an in-depth study on the electrochemical mechanism of Zn-thiolates electrode materials.![]()

Abstract
Zn/MnO2 batteries, one of the most widely studied rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries, suffer from poor cyclability because the structure of MnO2 is labile with cycling. Herein, the structural stability of α-MnO2 is enhanced by simultaneous Al3+ doping and lignin coating during the formation of α-MnO2 crystals in a hydrothermal process. Al3+ enters the [MnO6] octahedron accompanied by producing oxygen vacancies, and lignin further stabilizes the doped Al3+ via strong interaction in the prepared material, Al-doped α-MnO2 coated by lignin (L + Al@α-MnO2). Meanwhile, the conductivity of L + Al@α-MnO2 improves due to Al3+ doping, and the surface area of L + Al@α-MnO2 increases because of the production of nanorod structures after Al3+ doping and lignin coating. Compared with the reference α-MnO2 cathode, the L + Al@α-MnO2 cathode achieves superior performance with durably high reversible capacity (∼180 mA h g-1 at 1.5 A g-1) and good cycle stability. In addition, ex situ X-ray diffraction characterization of the cathode at different voltages in the first cycle is employed to study the related mechanism on improving battery performance. This study may provide ideas of designing advanced cathode materials for other aqueous metal-ion batteries.
