Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIB) have several advantages such as low cost, large theoretical capacity and good safety. However, the development of polyaniline (PANI) cathode materials has been limited by slow diffusion kinetics. Herein, proton-self-doped polyaniline@carbon cloth (CC) (PANI@CC) was prepared via in-situ polymerization, where polyaniline was deposited on an activated carbon cloth. The PANI@CC cathode exhibits a high specific capacity of 234.3 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, and excellent rate performance, delivering a capacity of 143 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1. Furthermore, the reversible redox conversion during the charge-discharge process was studied using ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ex-situ Raman spectra. The results show that the excellent performance of the PANI@CC battery can be attributed to the formation of a conductive network between the carbon cloth and polyaniline. Also, a mixing mechanism involving insertion/extraction of Zn2+/H+ and a double-ion process is proposed. PANI@CC electrode is a novel idea for developing high-performance batteries.

Abstract
The design and development of advanced energy storage devices with good energy/power densities and remarkable cycle life has long been a research hotspot. Metal-ion hybrid capacitors (MHCs) are considered as emerging and highly prospective candidates deriving from the integrated merits of metal-ion batteries with high energy density and supercapacitors with excellent power output and cycling stability. The realization of high-performance MHCs needs to conquer the inevitable imbalance in reaction kinetics between anode and cathode with different energy storage mechanisms. Featured by large specific surface area, short ion diffusion distance, ameliorated in-plane charge transport kinetics, and tunable surface and/or interlayer structures, 2D nanomaterials provide a promising platform for manufacturing battery-type electrodes with improved rate capability and capacitor-type electrodes with high capacity. In this article, the fundamental science of 2D nanomaterials and MHCs is first presented in detail, and then the performance optimization strategies from electrodes and electrolytes of MHCs are summarized. Next, the most recent progress in the application of 2D nanomaterials in monovalent and multivalent MHCs is dealt with. Furthermore, the energy storage mechanism of 2D electrode materials is deeply explored by advanced characterization techniques. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of 2D nanomaterials-based MHCs are prospected.

Abstract
Magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have attracted much attention due to their low cost and high safety properties. However, the intense charge repulsion effect and sluggish diffusion dynamics of Mg2+ ions result in unsatisfactory electrochemical performance of conventional cathode materials in MIBs. This work reports water-lubricated aluminum vanadate (HAlVO) as high-performance cathode material for Mg2+ ions storage and investigates the capacity fade mechanism of water-free aluminum vanadate (AlVO). The charge density difference based on density functional theory calculation is performed to analyze the charge transfer process of water-lubricated/free aluminum vanadates (HAlVO/AlVO). The different charge transfer phenomena of two materials and the charge shielding effect of water molecule in HAlVO are revealed. Moreover, the single-phase structural evolution process and the Mg2+ ions storage mechanism of HAlVO are further investigated deeply by different in situ and ex situ characterization methods. This work proves that HAlVO is a potential candidate cathode material to satisfy the high-performance reversible Mg2+ ions storage, and the water-lubricated method is an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of vanadium oxides cathode.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have attracted significant attention owing to the high energy density and economic viability. However, the lack of suitable cathode materials, owing to the high polarizability of divalent Mg-ion and slow Mg-ion diffusion, hinders the development of RMBs. V2 O5 is a promising RMBs cathode material, but its limited interlayer spacing is unfavorable for the rapid diffusion of Mg2+ , demonstrating unsatisfactory electrochemical performance. In this study, the superlattices of V2 O5 and polyaniline (PANI) with expanded interlayer spacing are assembled as the cathode material for RMBs. The intercalation of PANI in the interlayer region of V2 O5 significantly improves the reversible capacities, Mg2+ diffusion kinetics, and cycling performance of the PVO cathode. Furthermore, RMBs with PVO as the cathode and Mg metal as the anode deliver high specific capacities. The introduced polyaniline layer not only expands the interlayer spacing of V2 O5 , but also increases the electrical conductivity. Moreover, ex situ XRD characterization indicates that PVO does not undergo obvious phase transformation with the continuous insertion of Mg2+ , which may be ascribed to the π-conjugated chains of PANI that give flexibility to the structure to improve cycling stability. This study demonstrates that designing organic-inorganic superlattices is an efficient strategy for developing high-performance cathode materials for RMBs.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS Functionalized porphyrin complexes are proposed as new pseudocapacitive cathodes for SIBs based on four-electron transfer. The presence of copper(II) ion partially contributes the charge storage and significantly stabilizes the structure of porphyrin complex for electrochemical energy storage. The electrochemical polymerization of porphyrin complex through the ethynyl groups in self-stabilization process contributes to high rate capability and excellent cycling stability. ABSTRACT Sodium-organic batteries utilizing natural abundance of sodium element and renewable active materials gain great attentions for grid-scale applications. However, the development is still limited by lack of suitable organic cathode materials with high electronic conductivity that can be operated stably in liquid electrolyte. Herein, we present 5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (DEPP) and [5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato]copper(II) (CuDEPP) as new cathodes for extremely stable sodium-organic batteries. The copper(II) ion partially contributes the charge storage and significantly stabilizes the structure of porphyrin complex for electrochemical energy storage. In situ electrochemical stabilization of organic cathode with a lower charging current density was identified which enables both improved high energy density and power density. An excellent long-term cycling stability up to 600 cycles and an extremely high power density of 28 kW kg−1 were achieved for porphyrin-based cathode. This observation would open new pathway for developing highly stable sodium-organic cathode for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Herein, we manufactured the positive and negative electrodes for the hybrid capacitor. The Mn-doped High surface area of Activated carbon composite used for the positive electrode and as-prepared composite was calcined at 600 °C and 800 °C. The morphological structures and pore-size distributions of MnYP-600HTT and MnYP-800HTT were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, EDAX, TEM, and BET. According to the BET specific surface-area evaluation, MnYP-600HTT and MnYP-800HTT were 1272.6 and 1388.1 m2/g, respectively. Total pore volumes were 0.627 and 0.687 cm3/g, which is beneficial for forming ion-transport channels in electrochemical reactions. The MnYP-600HTT electrode had a high specific capacity of 177.2 mAh/g at 20C, and the capacity retention was 64.8%. During the entire cycling, MnYP-600HTT had excellent cyclic stability in 500 cycles along with high efficiency. The robust design of the MnYP-600HTT and MnYP-800HTT cathode materials introduced in this work pave the way for designing next-generation supercapacitors operating at ultra-high C rates. The Mn-doped high surface of activated carbon had stable energy density and superior cycling stability that were demonstrated in supercapacitor systems.

Abstract
High-performance and low-cost sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) show tremendous potential applications in public transport and grid energy storage. However, conventional SICs are limited by the low specific capacity, poor rate capability, and low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of anode materials. Herein, we report layered iron vanadate (Fe5V15O39 (OH)9·9H2O) ultrathin nanosheets with a thickness of ~ 2.2 nm (FeVO UNSs) as a novel anode for rapid and reversible sodium-ion storage. According to in situ synchrotron X-ray diffractions and electrochemical analysis, the storage mechanism of FeVO UNSs anode is Na+ intercalation pseudocapacitance under a safe potential window. The FeVO UNSs anode delivers high ICE (93.86%), high reversible capacity (292 mAh g-1), excellent cycling stability, and remarkable rate capability. Furthermore, a pseudocapacitor-battery hybrid SIC (PBH-SIC) consisting of pseudocapacitor-type FeVO UNSs anode and battery-type Na3(VO)2(PO4)2F cathode is assembled with the elimination of presodiation treatments. The PBH-SIC involves faradaic reaction on both cathode and anode materials, delivering a high energy density of 126 Wh kg-1 at 91 W kg-1, a high power density of 7.6 kW kg-1 with an energy density of 43 Wh kg-1, and 9000 stable cycles. The tunable vanadate materials with high-performance Na+ intercalation pseudocapacitance provide a direction for developing next-generation high-energy capacitors.

Abstract
Transition metal oxides used as electrode materials for flexible supercapacitors have attracted huge attention due to their high specific capacitance and surface-to-volume ratio, specifically for cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles. However, the low intrinsic electronic conductivity and aggregation of Co3O4 nanoparticles restrict their electrochemical performance and prevent these electrode materials from being commercialized. Herein, a facile, advantageous, and cost effective sol-gel synthetic route for growing Co3O4 nanoparticles uniformly over a low cost and eco-friendly one-dimensional (1D) hydrophilic cellulose nanofiber (CNF) surface has been reported. This exhibits high conductivity, which enables the symmetric electrode to deliver a high specific capacitance of ∼214 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 with remarkable cycling behavior (∼94% even after 5000 cycles) compared to that of pristine CNF and Co3O4 electrodes in an aqueous electrolyte. Furthermore, the binder-free nature of 1D Co3O4@CNF (which was carbonized at 200 °C for about 20 min under a H2/Ar atmosphere) shows great potential as a hybrid flexible paper-like electrode and provides a high specific capacitance of 80 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 with a superior energy density of 10 W h kg-1 in the gel electrolyte. This study provides a novel pathway, using a hydrophilic 1D CNF, for realizing the full potential of Co3O4 nanoparticles as advanced electrode materials for next generation flexible electronic devices.

Abstract
Molybdenum oxide provides high theoretical capacity, but the moderate charge transfer kinetics and cycle life have limited the applications for capacitive energy storage. Herein, the electrochemical performance of molybdenum oxide is modified by tuning the active redox couple through an electrochemical activation process. The activated electrode K-MoOx with a 10 mg cm-2 loading shows excellent pseudocapacitive behavior within the large potential range of -1.2-0 V and delivers 313 F g-1 capacitance at 5 mA cm-2. It also presents an ultrastable cycle life, with a 98% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. The activation process involves the insertion of K+ into MoOx, which modifies the Mo electronic structure and introduces Mo4+ sites according to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. As a result, the charge storage redox couple shifts from Mo5+/Mo6+ to Mo4+/Mo5+, with the latter delivering higher electrochemical activity due to improved conductivity. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy also suggests faster ion diffusions and thus higher power capability in K-MoOx, resulting in the enhanced performance. A 2.4 V asymmetric supercapacitor is assembled using K-MoOx as the anode with a MnOx cathode. The work demonstrates a feasible and facile strategy to promote the pseudocapacitive behavior of metal oxide materials.

Abstract
Beyond-lithium-ion batteries are promising candidates for high-energy-density, low-cost and large-scale energy storage applications. However, the main challenge lies in the development of suitable electrode materials. Here, we demonstrate a new type of zero-strain cathode for reversible intercalation of beyond-Li+ ions (Na+, K+, Zn2+, Al3+) through interface strain engineering of a 2D multilayered VOPO4-graphene heterostructure. In-situ characterization and theoretical calculations reveal a reversible intercalation mechanism of cations in the 2D multilayered heterostructure with a negligible volume change. When applied as cathodes in K+-ion batteries, we achieve a high specific capacity of 160 mA h g-1 and a large energy density of ~570 W h kg-1, presenting the best reported performance to date. Moreover, the as-prepared 2D multilayered heterostructure can also be extended as cathodes for high-performance Na+, Zn2+, and Al3+-ion batteries. This work heralds a promising strategy to utilize strain engineering of 2D materials for advanced energy storage applications.

Abstract
Sodium-ion hybrid capacitors are known for their high power densities and superior cycle life compared to Na-ion batteries. However, low energy densities (<100 Wh kg-1) due to the lack of high-capacity (>150 mAh g-1) anodes capable of fast charging are delaying their practical implementation. Herein, we report a high-performance Na-ion hybrid capacitor based on an interface-engineered hierarchical TiO2 nanosheet anode consisting of bronze (∼15%) and anatase (∼85%) crystallites (∼10 nm). This pseudocapacitive dual-phase anode demonstrated exceptional specific capacity of 289 mAh g-1 at 0.025 A g-1 and excellent rate capability (110 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1). The Na-ion hybrid capacitor integrating a dual-phase hierarchical TiO2 nanosheet anode and an activated carbon cathode exhibited a high energy density of 200 Wh kg-1 (based on the total mass of active materials in both electrodes) and power density of 6191 W kg-1. These values are in the energy and power density range of Li-ion batteries (100-300 Wh kg-1) and supercapacitors (5000-15 000 W kg-1), respectively. Furthermore, exceptional capacity retention of 80% is observed after 5000 charge-discharge cycles. Outstanding electrochemical performance of the demonstrated Na-ion hybrid capacitor is credited to the enhanced pseudocapacitive Na-ion intercalation of the two-dimensional TiO2 anode resulting from nanointerfaces between bronze and anatase crystallites. Mechanistic investigations evidenced Na-ion storage through intercalation pseudocapacitance with minimal structural changes. This approach of nanointerface-induced pseudocapacitance presents great opportunities toward developing advanced electrode materials for next-generation Na-ion hybrid capacitors.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered to be attractive candidates for large-scale energy storage systems because of their rich earth abundance and consistent performance. However, there are still challenges in developing desirable anode materials that can accommodate rapid and stable insertion/extraction of Na+ and can exhibit excellent electrochemical performance. Herein, the self-assembled hairball-like VS4 as anodes of SIBs exhibits high discharge capacity (660 and 589 mAh g-1 at 1 and 3 A g-1, respectively) and excellent rate property (about 100% retention at 10 and 20 A g-1 after 1000 cycles) at room temperature. Moreover, the VS4 can also exhibit 591 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 600 cycles at 0 °C. An unlike traditional mechanism of VS4 for Na+ storage was proposed according to the dates of ex situ characterization, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical kinetic analysis. The capacities of the final stabilization stage are provided by the reactions of reversible transformation between Na2S and S, which were considered the reaction mechanisms of Na-S batteries. This work can provide a basis for the synthesis and application of sulfur-rich compounds in fields of batteries, semiconductor devices, and catalysts.

Abstract
Sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) have received increasing interest for grid stationary energy storage application due to their affordability, high power, and energy densities. The major challenge for SICs is to overcome the kinetics imbalance between faradaic anode and non-faradaic cathode. To boost the Na+ reaction kinetics, the present work demonstrated a high-rate MnS-based anode by embedding the MnS nanocrystals into the N, S-co-doped carbon matrix (MnS@NSC). Benefiting from the fast pseudocapacitive Na+ storage behavior, the resulting composite exhibits extraordinary rate capability (205.6 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1) and outstanding cycling stability without notable degradation after 2000 cycles. A prototype SIC was demonstrated using MnS@NSC anode and N-doped porous carbon (NC) cathode; the obtained hybrid SIC device can display a high energy density of 139.8 Wh kg-1 and high power density of 11,500 W kg-1, as well as excellent cyclability with 84.5% capacitance retention after 3000 cycles. The superior electrochemical performance is contributed to downsizing of MnS and encapsulation of conductive N, S-co-doped carbon matrix, which not only promote the Na+ and electrons transport, but also buffer the volume variations and maintain the structure integrity during Na+ insertion/extraction, enabling its comparable fast reaction kinetics and cyclability with NC cathode.

Abstract
Hard carbons have shown promising application potential as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), but adjusting the texture of hard carbons to manipulate their electrochemical behaviors remains a great challenge. In this work, a Cu-activation strategy is developed to control the defects of hard carbon nanofibers to achieve slope-reigned Na-ion storage behaviors. This method can effectively create defect-rich carbon texture by employing a small amount of Cu(NO3)2 as an activator but cannot induce an increase in the surface area. With the addition of the Cu activator, carbon nanofibers with increasing defects are synthesized by electrospinning and subsequent annealing. When carbon nanofibers are used as anodes for SIBs, their reversible capacity is increased with the increase of defects. Simultaneously, slope capacity gradually increases, while low-voltage plateau capacity reduces. Especially, the reversible capacity of Cu-activated nanofibers with more defects can be increased to 315 mA h g-1 with almost no plateau capacity compared with 203 mA h g-1 of inactivated nanofibers with a plateau capacity of 26%. Noticeably, the initial Coulombic efficiency (70%) of the activated nanofibers is just slightly lower than that (72%) of inactivated ones. The Cu-activated nanofibers also demonstrate superb rate performance and long cycle lifetime. Therefore, this work shows a new pathway for the design of defect-rich hard carbons with superior Na-ion storage performance.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted tremendous interest for applications in energy harvest and storage. However, the aggregation of nanosheets compromises the accessible active sites and limits their electrochemical performance, especially at high rates. The present study reports the synthesis of highly dispersed NiFe-LDH nanosheets anchored on reduced graphene oxide (NiFe-LDH/rGO) composites chemically bonded via a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Defect-riched rGO provides abundant active sites for heterogeneous nucleation of NiFe-LDH nanosheets, achieving the much efficient charge transfer between rGO and NiFe-LDH as compared to physically mixed NiFe-LDH + rGO. The crystallite size can effectively reduce to 5.5 nm smaller than 15.1 nm of NiFe-LDH without rGO, beneficial to expose more active surface for fast ion diffusion and redox reactions. NiFe-LDH/rGO as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries shows superior lithium storage capacity with 1202 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and high-rate performance with 543 mAh g-1 even at 2000 mA g-1. The corresponding lithium-ion capacitor with NiFe-LDH/rGO anode and mesoporous carbon microsphere cathode exhibits high energy density and power density simultaneously, with 133 Wh kg-1 at 25 W kg-1 and 4016 W kg-1 at 58 Wh kg-1, showing the great potential for high-performance hybrid energy storage systems.

Abstract
Low-cost rechargeable batteries are ardently required for large-scale energy storage applications. In this regard, nonaqueous potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are ascendant candidates due to the abundance of potassium resources, yet their energy density and cycle stability are insufficient for practical use. In this study, we report the Sb-based multicomposite comprising Sb nanoparticles, amorphous carbon (C), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as an anode material for KIBs. By adopting the tartaric acid as a carbon source and a chelating agent simultaneously, a multicomposite electrode with uniform and fine-sized Sb particles is realized. The Sb-C-rGO multicomposite exhibits a reversible capacity of 310 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and 79% of it is retained after 100 cycles. Electrochemical tests show that the capacity fading in the Sb-C-rGO cell is attributed to the side reactions in the K metal and electrolyte, rather than the degradation of Sb nanoparticles. Furthermore, the formation of the metastable product is elucidated by Ostwald's step rule and density functional theory calculations. The present synthesis approach and the understanding of the failure and working mechanisms provide general insight into developing the alloying-type electrode materials for rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
A hindrance to the practical use of sodium-ion batteries is the lack of adequate anode materials. By utilizing the co-intercalation reaction, graphite, which is the most common anode material of lithium-ion batteries, was used for storing sodium ion. However, its performance, such as reversible capacity and coulombic efficiency, remains unsatisfactory for practical needs. Therefore, to overcome these drawbacks, a new carbon material was synthesized so that co-intercalation could occur efficiently. This carbon material has the same morphology as carbon black; that is, it has a wide pathway due to a turbostratic structure, and a short pathway due to small primary particles that allows the co-intercalation reaction to occur efficiently. Additionally, due to the numerous voids present in the inner amorphous structure, the sodium storage capacity was greatly increased. Furthermore, owing to the coarse co-intercalation reaction due to the surface pore structure, the formation of solid-electrolyte interphase was greatly suppressed and the first cycle coulombic efficiency reached 80%. This study shows that the carbon material alone can be used to design good electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries without the use of next-generation materials.

Abstract
In this work, a facile salt-templated approach is developed for the preparation of hollow FeSe2 /graphitic carbon composite microspheres as sodium-ion battery anodes; these are composed of interconnected multicavities and an enclosed surface in-plane embedded with uniform hollow FeSe2 nanoparticles. As the precursor, Fe2 O3 /carbon microspheres containing NaCl nanocrystals are obtained using one-pot ultrasonic spray pyrolysis in which inexpensive NaCl and dextrin are used as a porogen and carbon source, respectively, enabling mass production of the composites. During post-treatment, Fe2 O3 nanoparticles in the composites transform into hollow FeSe2 nanospheres via the Kirkendall effect. These rational structures provide numerous conductive channels to facilitate ion/electron transport and enhance the capacitive contribution. Moreover, the synergistic effect between the hollow cavities within FeSe2 and the outstanding mechanical strength of the porous carbon matrix can effectively accommodate the large volume changes during cycling. Correspondingly, the composite microsphere exhibits high discharge capacity of 510 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.2 A g-1 with capacity retention of 88% when calculated from the second cycle. Even at a high current density of 5.0 A g-1 , a high discharge capacity of 417 mA h g-1 can be achieved.
