Abstract
To prevent zinc (Zn) dendrite formation and improve electrochemical stability, it is essential to understand Zn dendrite growth, particularly in terms of morphology and relation with the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. In this study, we employ in-situ scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and spectro-ptychography to monitor the morphology evolution of Zn dendrites and to identify their chemical composition and distribution on the Zn surface during the stripping/plating progress. Our findings reveal that in 50 mM ZnSO4, the initiation of moss/whisker dendrites is chemically controlled, while their continued growth over extended cycles is kinetically governed. The presence of a dense and stable SEI film is critical for inhibiting the formation and growth of Zn dendrites. By adding 50 mM lithium chloride (LiCl) as an electrolyte additive, we successfully construct a dense and stable SEI film composed of Li2S2O7 and Li2CO3, which significantly improves cycling performance. Moreover, the symmetric cell achieves a prolonged cycle life of up to 3900 h with the incorporation of 5% 12-crown-4 additives. This work offers a strategy for in-situ observation and analysis of Zn dendrite formation mechanisms and provides an effective approach for designing high-performance Zn-ion batteries.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2405719.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3(NVP), as a representative sodium superionic conductor with a stable polyanion framework, is considered a cathode candidate for aqueous zinc-ion batteries attributed to their high discharge platform and open 3D structure. Nevertheless, the structural stability of NVP and the cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer formed on NVP can be deteriorated by the aqueous electrolyte to a certain extent, which will result in slow Zn2+ migration. To solve these problems, doping Si elements to NVP and adding sodium acetate (NaAc) to the electrolyte are utilized as a synergistic regulation route to enable a highly stable CEI with rapid Zn2+ migration. In this regard, Ac- competitively takes part in the solvation structure of Zn2+ in aqueous electrolyte, weakening the interaction between water and Zn2+, and meanwhile a highly stable CEI is formed to avoid structural damage and enable rapid Zn2+ migration. The NVPS/C@rGO electrode exhibits a notable capacity of 115.5 mAh g-1 at a current density of 50 mA g-1 in the mixed electrolyte (3 M ZnOTF2+3 M NaAc). Eventually, a collapsible "sandwich" soft pack battery is designed and fabricated and can be used to power small fans and LEDs, which proves the practical application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries in flexible batteries.

Abstract
Although vanadium-based compounds possess several advantageous characteristics, such as multivalency, open structure, and high theoretical specific capacity, which render them highly promising candidates for cathode materials in aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs), their large-scale application still necessitates addressing the challenges posed by slow kinetics resulting from low conductivity and capacity degradation caused by material dissolution. Therefore, we have successfully synthesized high-purity mixed multivalent (NH4)8[VIV12VV7O41(OH)9]·11H2O (NVO) crystalline materials via a liquid-phase precipitation modulation method and employed it as an innovative AZIB cathode material for the first time. It exhibits a remarkable reversible specific capacity of 240 and 102.2 mAh g-1 after undergoing 1000 cycles at current densities of 1 and 5 A g-1, respectively, highlighting its exceptional cycling stability and electrochemical performance. The results from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and GITT tests demonstrate that the dominant factor influencing the charge storage is the pseudocapacitive behavior, which is accompanied by an exceptionally high diffusion coefficient of Zn2+ at a rate of 10-10 cm2 s-1. The highly reversible intercalation-deintercalation of Zn2+ in NVO/Zn cells is demonstrated through ex-situ TEM, XRD, and XPS analyses. This work provides a benchmark for the development of high-performance POV electrode materials.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted enormous attention for future energy-storage devices owing to their high theoretical capacity and environmental friendliness. However, obtaining cathodes with a high specific capacity and fast reaction kinetics remains a huge challenge. Herein, Cu-VOx material with a thin sheet microsphere structure composed of nanoparticles was prepared by a simple hydrothermal reaction, which improved reaction kinetics and specific capacity. Pre-embedding Cu2+ into V2O5 to introduce abundant oxygen vacancies extended the interlayer distance to 1.16 nm, weakened the effect of the V-O bonds, and improved the electrical conductivity and structural stability. At the same time, the influence of different valence metal ions (M = K+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Sn4+, Nb5+, and W6+) pre-embedded in V2O5 was studied. Benefiting from a large interlayer spacing, high electrical conductivity, and excellent structural stability, the Cu-VOx electrode demonstrated a high specific capacity of 455.9 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. Importantly, when the current density was increased to 6 A g-1, the Cu-VOx electrode still achieved a high specific capacity of 178.8 mA h g-1 and maintained a high capacity retention of 76.5% over 2000 cycles.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are the new generation electrochemical energy storage systems. Recently, two-dimensional conductive metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) are attractive to serve as cathode materials of ZIBs due to their compositional diversity, abundant active sites, and excellent conductivity. Despite the growing interest in 2D c-MOFs, their application prospects are still to be explored. Herein, a tetraoxa[8]circulene (TOC) derivative with unique electronic structure and interesting redox-active property are synthesized to construct c-MOFs. A series of novel 2D c-MOFs (Cu-TOC, Zn-TOC and Mn-TOC) with different conductivities and packing modes are obtained by combining the linker tetraoxa[8]circulenes-2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octaol (8OH-TOC) and corresponding metal ions. Three c-MOFs all exhibit typical semiconducting properties, and Cu-TOC exhibits the highest electrical conductivity of 0.2 S cm-1 among them. Furthermore, their electrochemical performance as cathode materials for ZIBs have been investigated. They all performed high reversible capacity, decent cycle stability and excellent rate capability. This work reveals the key insights into the electrochemical application potential of 2D c-MOFs and advances their development as cathode materials in ZIBs.

Abstract
In contemporary society, the conversion and efficient utilization of waste biomass and its derivatives are of great significance. Carbonized wood (CW) is an easily accessible and cost-effective green resource, but it has limitations as an electrode material due to its low specific surface area, limited active sites and poor conductivity. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the performance of biomass-based materials by using activation, heteroatom doping and modification methods to enhance the specific surface area and active sites. In this study, we developed acid-modified urea-doped activated carbonized wood (AUACW) with a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure and porosity, achieving a high specific surface area of 1321.3 m2 g-1. In addition, the degree of graphitization (ID/IG = 1.0) provides good conductivity and a large number of active sites, which are conducive to charge transfer and ion diffusion. The increase of nitrogen and oxygen elements enhances the surface wettability of the material and provides additional pseudocapacitance. The specific capacitance of AUACW reaches 435.84 F g-1 at 0.8 A g-1 with a 93.6% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles in a 1 M KOH electrolyte. More attractively, a symmetrical supercapacitor (SSC) based on AUACW delivers an energy density of 22.61 W h kg-1 at a power density of 533.26 W kg-1. This work demonstrates the promising potential of utilizing waste biomass to develop green and valuable carbon materials for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted burgeoning attention and emerged as prospective alternatives for scalable energy storage applications due to their unique merits such as high volumetric capacity, low cost, environmentally friendly, and reliable safety. Nevertheless, current ZIBs still suffer from some thorny issues, including low intrinsic electron conductivity, poor reversibility, zinc anode dendrites, and side reactions. Herein, conductive polyaniline (PANI) is intercalated as a pillar into the hydrated V2O5 (PAVO) to stabilize the structure of the cathode material. Meanwhile, graphene oxide (GO) was modified onto the glass fiber (GF) membrane through simple electrospinning and laser reduction methods to inhibit dendrite growth. As a result, the prepared cells present excellent electrochemical performance with enhanced specific capacity (362 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), significant rate capability (280 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1), and admirable cycling stability (74% capacity retention after 4800 cycles at 5 A g-1). These findings provide key insights into the development of high-performance zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
This study explores the enhancement of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) using ammonium-enhanced vanadium oxide cathodes. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations reveal that NH4+ incorporation into V6O16 lattices significantly facilitates Zn2+ ion diffusion by reducing electrostatic interactions, acting as a structural lubricant. Subsequent experimental validation using (NH4)2V6O16 cathodes synthesized via a hydrothermal method corroborates the DFT findings, demonstrating remarkable electrochemical stability with a capacity retention of 90% after 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1. These results underscore the potential of NH4+ in improving the performance and longevity of AZIBs, providing a pathway for sustainable energy storage solutions.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are regarded as a promising alternative for energy storage due to their safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. Manganese dioxide is considered a promising cathode material for energy storage because of its abundant reserves and high energy density. However, its inherent low electronic conductivity and limited cycling performance due to structural instability hinder its further development. Herein, a silver and manganese dioxide composite (Ag@MnO2) enriched with oxygen vacancies was prepared by a simple liquid-phase reduction method. The introduction of silver particles facilitates the improvement of electrical conductivity, and the incorporation of oxygen vacancies helps change the surface properties of manganese dioxide, providing additional active sites for ion transport, enhancing the overall electrochemical kinetics, and further improving the battery performance. As a result, the Ag@MnO2 cathode exhibits an astonishingly high capacity of 353 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 and a capacity retention of 78% after 1500 cycles. Additionally, electrochemical and structural analyses have revealed that the Ag@MnO2 cathode undergoes a reversible and stable process of H+ and Zn2+ insertion/extraction.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are rapidly emerging as safe, cost-effective, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly energy storage systems. However, mildly acidic electrolytes with depleted protons cannot satisfy the huge demand for proton reactions in MnO2 electrodes and also cause several issues in ZIBs, such as rapidly decaying cycling stability and low reaction kinetics. Herein, we propose a pH-buffering strategy in which KH2PO4 is added to the electrolyte to overcome the problems caused by low proton concentrations. This strategy significantly improves the rate and cycle stability performance of zinc-manganese batteries, delivering a high capacity of 122.5 mAh/g at a high current density of 5 A/g and enabling 9000 cycles at this current density, with a remaining capacity of 70 mAh/g. Ex-situ X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses confirmed the generation/dissolution of Zn3PO4·4H2O and Zn4(OH)6(SO4)·5H2O, byproducts of buffer products and proton reactions. In-situ pH measurements and chemical titration revealed that the pH change during the electrochemical process can be adjusted to a low range of 2.2-2.8, and the phosphate distribution varies with the pH range. Those results reveal that H2PO4- provides protons to the cathode through the chemical balance of HPO42-, HPO42-, and Zn3PO4·4H2O. This study serves as a guide for studying the influences and mechanisms of buffering additives in Zn-MnO2 batteries.

Abstract
We synthesized a small molecule, DBPTO, and used it as a cathode material in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. DBPTO presented a high reversible capacity of 382 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and a long lifespan of over 60 000 cycles. In the same π-conjugated skeleton, DBPTO (containing four CO and two CN groups) shows a narrower energy gap than TAPQ (containing CO and four CN groups), which leads to the superior rate and cycling performance of DBPTO. The mechanism of charge storage of DBPTO also revealed that H+ and Zn2+ coordinated with the CO and CN sites by ex situ structural characterization and DFT calculations. Our results provide new insights into the design of organic cathodes with a high rate capability and long lifespan. Further efforts will focus on a deeper understanding of the charge storage mechanism.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have triggered a surge of scientific research due to the unique merits of high safety, volumetric specific capacity, and environmental benignity. However, the implementation of this technology is still plagued by the lack of high-performance cathodes that can output high energy density and exceptional cycle life and inadequate Zn reversibility. Here, an organic-inorganic hybrid cathode based on a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) intercalated hydrated vanadium oxide (denoted PVO), which delivers an ultrahigh discharge capacity of 513.1 mAh g-1 (0.5 A g-1) and an ultra-stable cycle with 95.3 % capacity retention and approximately 100 % Coulombic efficiency over 2000 cycles (20 A g-1), is developed. Combining substantive measurements and theoretical calculations, it is demonstrated that favorable structural features with expanded interlayer galleries and robust architecture are believed to be responsible for the enhanced electrochemical performance, which can be further boosted by the improved Zn reversibility because of the introduction of maltitol electrolyte additive. This work provides a new attempt to achieve organic-inorganic composites for high-performance cathode materials of AZIBs and new insights into the charge storage behavior under the synergistic regulation of bilateral interfaces.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have received a lot of interest because of their large theoretical capacity and unique layered structure. However, the sluggish kinetics and inferior cyclic stability limit the usefulness of ZIBs. In the present investigation, the interlayer spacing enlarged MoSe2 hollow nanospheres comprised of nanosheets with ultrathin shells have been successfully synthesized through a combined strategy of template assistance and anion-exchange reaction. The hierarchical ultrathin nanosheets and hollow structure effectively suppress the agglomeration of pure nanosheets and ameliorate volume fluctuations induced by ion migration during (dis)charging/charging. The interlayer expansion provides good channels for the transport of Zn2+ ions and speeds up the insertion/extraction of Zn2+. In addition, in-situ carbon modification can significantly improve electronic conductivity. Therefore, the electrode prepared from MoSe2 hollow nanospheres with enlarged interlayer spacing not only exhibits outstanding cycle stability (capacity retention of 94.5% after 1600 cycles) but also exhibits high-rate capability (266.1 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and 203.6 mA h g-1 at 3 A g-1). This work could provide new insights into the design of cathode using TMDs of hollow structure for Zn2+ storage.

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
Organic materials with multiple active sites and flexible structural designs are becoming popular for use in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). However, their applicability is limited due to the low specific capacity and poor cycle stability originating from the introduction of inactive units and high solubility. Herein, three organic molecules with tunable redox properties were synthesized using anhydride (PMDA, 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic anhydride-1,2-diaminoanthraquinone, NTCDA, 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride-1,2-diaminoanthraquinone, and PTCDA, 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride-1,2-diaminoanthraquinone, referred to as PM12, NT12, and PT12) in the solid-phase method. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations and experiments identified that NT12 exhibits superior electrochemical performance compared with PM12 and PT12 because of the low energy gap and large aromatic conjugated structure. They demonstrated specific capacities of 106.7, 192.9, and 124.9 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1, respectively. Especially, NT12 displayed excellent initial specific capacity (85.4 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1) and remarkable capacity retention (64.1% for 3000 cycles) due to dual active centers (C═N and C═O). The all-NT12 full-cell also had excellent performance (127.1 mA h g-1 under 1 A g-1 and 80.6% over 200 cycles). The organic compounds synthesized in this work have potential applications of AZIBs, highlighting the importance of molecular design to develop the next generation of advanced materials.

Abstract
Vanadium based oxides are immensely suitable for zinc-ion-batteries (ZIBs) due to their layered and stable crystal structures. In this study, Mn doped V3O7·H2O nanobelts were synthesized and used as cathodes in ZIBs for the very first time and the doped oxide exhibited an enhanced capacity of 258 mAh g-1 compared to its undoped counterpart (208 mAh g-1) at the same current density of 40 mA g-1. Mn:V3O7·H2O outperforms the V3O7·H2O due to the superior bulk electrical conductivity as well as higher nanoscale current carrying capability imparted by a high proportion of mixed valent states of Mn3+, Mn2+, V5+, and V4+ and the smaller crystallite size that affords short diffusion lengths for Zn2+ ions. The Mn:V3O7·H2O cathode is coupled with a Zn2+ ion conducting polyacrylamide gel electrolyte and a Zn flakes/activated carbon (Zn Fs/C) composite anode to yield a unique separator free Mn:V3O7·H2O/Zn2+-PAM gel/Zn-Fs/C battery. The cell exhibits a capacity of ∼205 mAh g-1 (at 40 mA g-1) and retains 99% of its original capacity after 3500 cycles. The Zn2+-PAM gel shows a high ionic conductivity in the range of 5.9 to 28.2 S cm-1, over a wide temperature span of 0 to 70 °C, and a wide electrochemical potential stability window of -0.5 to +2.3 V, thus rendering it suitable for low temperature applications as well. The gel also inhibits dendritic growth of Zn over the Zn-Fs/C anode through regulated flow of Zn2+ ions during charging, prevents cathode dissolution, and improves cycle life via preservation of structural integrity of the Mn:V3O7·H2O cathode after 200 charge-discharge cycles. This is a highly scalable cell configuration and opens up opportunities to produce long lasting batteries completely free of costly separators with a semisolid free-standing electrolyte and a robust doped oxide.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal-based batteries have considerable potential as energy storage system; however, their application is extremely limited by dendrite development and poor reversibility. In this study, to overcome both challenges, F-doped carbon nanoparticles (FCNPs) are uniformly constructed on substrates (Ti, Zn, Cu, and steel) by a plasma-assisted surface modification, which endows reversible and uniform deposition of Zn metal. FCNPs with high surface charge density act as nucleation assistors and form numerous homogenous Zn nucleation sites toward Zn 3D growth, which improves Zn plating kinetic and results in uniform Zn deposition. Furthermore, the ZnF2 solid electrolyte interface generated during cycling contributes to rapid mass transfer and enhances Zn reversibility, but also suppresses the side reaction. Accordingly, the half-cell of P-Ti coupled with Zn exhibits an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.47% with 500 cycles. The symmetric cell of the P-Zn anode presents a lifespan of over 1500 h at the current density of 5 mA cm-2 . Notably, the cell works for 100 h at 50 mA cm-2 . It is believed that this ingenious surface modification broadens revolutionary methods for uniform metallic deposition, as well as the dendrite-free rechargeable batteries system.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) stand out among many monovalent/multivalent metal-ion batteries as promising new energy storage devices because of their good safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, there are still many great challenges to exploring new-type cathode materials that are suitable for Zn2+ intercalation. Vanadium-based compounds with various structures, large layer spacing, and different oxidation states are considered suitable cathode candidates for AZIBs. Herein, the research advances in vanadium-based compounds in recent years are systematically reviewed. The preparation methods, crystal structures, electrochemical performances, and energy storage mechanisms of vanadium-based compounds (e.g., vanadium phosphates, vanadium oxides, vanadates, vanadium sulfides, and vanadium nitrides) are mainly introduced. Finally, the limitations and development prospects of vanadium-based compounds are pointed out. Vanadium-based compounds as cathode materials for AZIBs are hoped to flourish in the coming years and attract more and more researchers' attention.

Abstract
Currently, aqueous zinc-ion batteries, with large reserves of zinc metal and maturity of production, are a promising alternative to sustainable energy storage. Nevertheless, aqueous solution has poor frost resistance and is prone to side reactions. In addition, zinc dendrites also limit the performance of zinc-ion batteries.

In this review, the research progress of biomass and its derived materials used in zinc-ion batteries are reviewed. The different regulation strategies and characteristics of biomass used in zinc-ion battery electrodes, electrolyte separators and binders are demonstrated. The regulation mechanism is analyzed. At the end, the development prospect and challenges of biomass in energy materials application are proposed.

Abstract
The tunnel structure of the bronze phase vanadium dioxide (VO2(B)) can be used as the zinc ion storage active sites. However, the intense charge repulsion of divalent Zn2+ causes a sluggish reaction kinetics in the tunnel VO2(B). Here, a tungsten-oxygen bond pre-introduced (TOBI) approach is proposed to modulate the tunnel structure of VO2(B). The VO2(B) cathodes with TOBI of 0.5 at% to 3.0 at% have been controllably synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The results from structural analysis uncover that the pre-introduced W6+ replaces the V4+ in VO2(B) to form WO6 octahedra. Benefiting from the rapid diffusion kinetics, enhanced structural stability and improved conductivity enabled by the TOBI, the optimal VO2(B) nanoribbons with 1.5 at% shows a high reversible capacity of 265 mAh g-1, a high rate-performance of up-to 10 A g-1 and a long cycling stability of 2000 cycles. Moreover, a pseudo-capacitive dominated Zn2+ intercalation/de-intercalation behavior is solidly determined by the electrochemical kinetics testing and structural characterizations. This TOBI method is referential for developing other multivalent ion battery cathodes with outstanding performances.

Abstract
Developing high-performance, safer, and affordable flexible batteries is of urgent need to power the fast-growing flexible electronics market. In this respect, zinc-ion chemistry employing aqueous-based electrolytes represents a promising combination considering the safety, cost efficiency, and both high energy and high-power output. Herein, we represent a high-performance flexible in-plane aqueous zinc-ion miniaturized battery constructed with all electrodeposited electrodes, i.e., MnO2 cathode and zinc anode with polyimide-derived interdigital patterned laser-scribed carbon (LSC) as the current collector as well as the template for electrodeposition. The LSC possesses a cross-linked network of graphitic carbon sheet, which offers large surface area over low footprint and ensures active materials loading with a robust conductive network. The LSC with high zincophilic characteristic also offers dendrite-free zinc deposition with very low Zn2+ plating stripping overpotential. Benefitting from the Zn//MnO2-rich redox chemistry, the ability of the 3D LSC network to uniformly distribute reaction sites, and the architectural merits of in-plane interdigitated electrode configuration, we report very high capacity values of ∼549 mAh/g (or ∼523 μAh/cm2) and 148 mAh/g (or 140 μAh/cm2) at 0.1 A/g (0.095 mA/cm2) and 2 A/g (1.9 mA/cm2) currents, respectively. The device was also able to maintain a high capacity of 196 mAh/g (areal capacity of 76.19 μAh/cm2) at 1 A/g (0.95 mA/cm2) current after 1350 cycles. The flexibility of the device was demonstrated in polyacryl amide (PAM) gel polymer soaked with a 2 M ZnSO4 and 0.2 M MnSO4 electrolyte, which exhibited a comparable specific capacity of ∼102-110 mAh/g in flat condition and different bending (100° or 160° bending) conditions. The device does not use any conventional current collector, separator, and conductive or polymer additives. The overall process is highly scalable and can be completed in less than a couple of hours.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc batteries have been regarded as a promising energy storage technology due to their high energy, high material abundance, low toxicity, and intrinsic safety. NASICON-type materials have been proposed as efficient cathodes for rechargeable batteries, yet they suffer from fast degradation and low Coulombic efficiency in aqueous batteries. Here we demonstrate that a rationally designed aqueous electrolyte containing a supporting Na salt and polymer additive can efficiently suppress the water activity through hydrogen bonding and facilitate the anion involvement in interfacial reactions, thus enabling the stable operation of sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) cathodes in aqueous zinc batteries. As exemplified by a Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 cathode, the cell with zinc metal anode exhibits high cycling Coulombic efficiencies (around 99.9 % in average) with a steady output voltage and capacity retention for 300 cycles. This work addresses the potential issues with NASICON-type cathodes in aqueous zinc batteries and proposes an effective solution via fundamental interphasial chemistry to design efficient and sustainable aqueous electrolytes.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have recently attracted people's extensive attention in their application in energy storage systems resulting from their exclusive characteristics of low cost and environmental compatibility. However, finding suitable cathode materials continues to be the major challenge. Polyoxovanadates (POVs), as an important branch of polyoxometalates (POMs), are considered as a promising electrode material for reversible aqueous ZIBs relying on the flexible valence state of V. Herein, POVs (K2 Zn2 V10 O28 : KZVO) are reported as an advanced cathode for storing Zn2+ , which delivers a high discharge capacity of 223.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , considerable energy density (182.9 Wh kg-1 ) and power density (40.38 W kg-1 ), and robust cyclic performance. In addition, the dynamic properties of the KZVO/Zn battery are revealed by pseudocapacitance analysis and GITT tests. Meanwhile, the storage mechanism of Zn2+ is further analyzed by ex situ XRD, XPS, TEM, and HRTEM. Overall, this work not only draws up a cathode material for the POMs system in aqueous ZIBs, but also demonstrates that POMs are the rising star in energy storage and electric energy applications.

Abstract
The rapid depletion of lithium resources and the increasing demand for electrical energy storage have stimulated the pursuit of emerging electrochemical energy storage. Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are highly sought after for their low cost, high safety, and increased environmental compatibility. However, the search for suitable cathode materials is still tricky for a wide range of researchers. Vanadium oxides (Vx Oy ), with their abundant vanadium valence, easily deformable V-O polyhedrons, and tunable chemical compositions, are of significant advantage in developing emerging materials. This work provides a detailed review of different Vx Oy for the application in aqueous ZIBs. The current problems and optimization strategies of Vx Oy cathode materials are systematically discussed. Finally, the current challenges and possible directions for future research of Vx Oy cathode materials in aqueous ZIBs are presented.
