Abstract
The thermal runaway issue represents a long-standing obstacle that retards large-scale applications of lithium metal batteries. Various approaches to inhibit thermal runaway suffer from some intrinsic drawbacks, either being irreversible or delayed thermal protection. Herein, this work has explored thermo-responsive lower critical solution temperature (LCST) ionic liquid-based electrolytes, which provides reversible overheating protection for batteries with warning and shut-down stages, well corresponding to an initial stage of thermal runaway process. The batteries could function stably below 70 °C as a working mode, while demonstrating a warning mode above 80 °C with a noticeable reduction in specific capacitance to delay temperature increase of batteries. In terms of 110 °C as a critically dangerous temperature, a shut-down mode is designed to minimize the thermal energy releasing as the batteries are barely chargeable and dischargeable. Dynamically growing polymeric particles above LCST contributed to such an intelligent and mild control on specific capacitance. Larger size will occupy larger surfaces of electrodes and close more pores of separators, enabling a gradual suppressing of Li+ transfer and reactions. The present work demonstrated a scientific design of thermoresponsive LCST electrolytes with a superiorly precise and intelligent control of electrochemical performances to achieve self-adapted overheating protections.

Abstract
Porous polymers have many industrial applications, but their pore structures (open or closed) are usually fixed during polymerization. In this study, polymers with reversible and controllable pore structures, namely, thermosensitive porous hydrogels with regulated volume phase transition temperature, were prepared using a Pickering high-internal-phase emulsion as the template. Upon heating, the hydrogels transformed not only in their wettability (between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity with water contact angles of 21.8 and 100.9°) but also their pore structure (between open through-holes and closed holes with pore throat sizes of 15.58 and 0 μm, respectively) in a short time (<10 s). When the hydrogel was used as a separator in smart supercapacitors (SCs), this behavior effectively limited the path of electrolyte migration, reducing the chance of conflagration accidents. Moreover, by utilizing the highly reversible pore structures and wettability of the porous hydrogel, reversible charging and discharging were restored after the system cooled down. This work not only provides great guidance for preparing porous polymers with reversible pore structures but also paves the way for designing smart SCs with enhanced safety.

Abstract
To cater to the swift advance of flexible wearable electronics, there is growing demand for flexible energy storage system (ESS). Aqueous zinc ion energy storage systems (AZIESSs), characterizing safety and low cost, are competitive candidates for flexible energy storage. Hydrogels, as quasi-solid substances, are the appropriate and burgeoning electrolytes that enable high-performance flexible AZIESSs. However, challenges still remain in designing suitable and comprehensive hydrogel electrolyte, which provides flexible AZIESSs with high reversibility and versatility. Hence, the application of hydrogel electrolyte-based AZIESSs in wearable electronics is restricted. A thorough review is required for hydrogel electrolyte design to pave the way for high-performance flexible AZIESSs. This review delves into the engineering of desirable hydrogel electrolytes for flexible AZIESSs from the perspective of electrolyte designers. Detailed descriptions of hydrogel electrolytes in basic characteristics, Zn anode, and cathode stabilization effects as well as their functional properties are provided. Moreover, the application of hydrogel electrolyte-based flexible AZIESSs in wearable electronics is discussed, expecting to accelerate their strides toward lives. Finally, the corresponding challenges and future development trends are also presented, with the hope of inspiring readers.

Abstract
Flexible strain sensors based on conductive hydrogels have profound implications for wearable electronics and health-monitoring systems. However, such sensors still need to integrate with energy providing devices to drive their functions. Herein, we develop a soaking-free polyacrylamide/carboxymethyl cellulose/tannic acid (PAAM/CMC/TA) hydrogel containing 2 M ZnSO4 + 0.1 M MnSO4 electrolyte for a novel zinc-ion battery-type self-powered strain sensing system. The synthesized hydrogel possesses desirable stretchability (tensile strain/stress of 622%/132 kPa), self-healing and self-adhesive properties, as well as good ionic conductivity (0.76 ± 0.04 S m-1). A mechanically durable Zn-MnO2 battery is developed using the PAAM/CMC/TA hydrogel and it can deliver a high specific capacity (223.0 mA h g-1) and maintain stable energy outputs under severe mechanical deformations. The electrochemical behavior of the battery can recover even after several self-healing cycles. Due to the excellent strain and pressure sensing properties of the PAAM/CMC/TA hydrogel, the battery combined with a fixed resistor served as a self-powered wearable sensing device, which could translate different human movements into distinguishable electrical signals without an external power supply. Our work provides guidance for the development of next-generation self-powered sensors.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have gained significant recognition as highly promising rechargeable batteries for the future due to their exceptional safety, low operating costs, and environmental advantages. Nevertheless, the widespread utilization of ZIBs for energy storage has been hindered by inherent challenges associated with aqueous electrolytes, including water decomposition reactions, evaporation, and liquid leakage. Fortunately, recent advances in solid-state electrolyte research have demonstrated great potential in resolving these challenges. Moreover, the flexibility and new chemistry of solid-state electrolytes offer further opportunities for their applications in wearable electronic devices and multifunctional settings. Nonetheless, despite the growing popularity of solid-state electrolyte-based-ZIBs in recent years, the development of solid-state electrolytes is still in its early stages. Bridging the substantial gap that exists is crucial before solid-state ZIBs become a practical reality. This review presents the advancements in various types of solid-state electrolytes for ZIBs, including film separators, inorganic additives, and organic polymers. Furthermore, it discusses the performance and impact of solid-state electrolytes. Finally, it outlines future directions for the development of solid-state ZIBs.

Abstract
Flexible and multifunctional zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) play an important role in flexible or wearable electronics. Polymer gels with outstanding mechanical stretchability and high ionic conductivity are very promising to be used as electrolytes for the solid-state ZIBs. Herein, a novel ionogel of poly(N,N'-dimethylacrylamide)/zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate (PDMAAm/Zn(CF3SO3)2) is designed and synthesized by UV-initiated polymerization of monomer DMAAm in ionic liquid solvent 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([Bmim][TfO]). The prepared PDMAAm/Zn(CF3SO3)2 ionogels possess high mechanical performance (893.7% tensile strain and 151.0 kPa tensile strength), moderate ionic conductivity (0.96 mS cm-1) and superior healable performance. The as-prepared ZIBs based on PDMAAm/Zn(CF3SO3)2 ionogel electrolyte assembled by carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/polyaniline as cathode and CNTs/Zn as anode not only exhibit excellent electrochemical properties (up to 2.5 V), flexible and cyclic performance, but also possess good healability for five broken/healed cycles with slight 12.5% performance decay. More significantly, the broken/healed ZIBs exhibit superior flexibility and cyclic stability. This ionogel electrolyte can be extended the flexible energy storage devices for use in other multifunctional portable and wearable energy related devices.

Abstract
Flexible batteries based on gel electrolytes with high safety are promising power solutions for wearable electronics but suffer from vulnerable electrode-electrolyte interfaces especially upon complex deformations, leading to irreversible capacity loss or even battery collapse. Here, a supramolecular sol-gel transition electrolyte (SGTE) that can dynamically accommodate deformations and repair electrode-electrolyte interfaces through its controllable rewetting at low temperatures is designed. Mediated by the micellization of polypropylene oxide blocks in Pluronic and host-guest interactions between α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and polyethylene oxide blocks, the high ionic conductivity and compatibility with various salts of SGTE afford resettable electrode-electrolyte interfaces and thus constructions of a series of highly durable, flexible aqueous zinc batteries. The design of this novel gel electrolyte provides new insights for the development of flexible batteries.

Diffusion/Reaction Limited Aggregation Approach for Microstructure Evolution and Condensation Kinetics during Synthesis of Silica-Based Alcogels. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24031999.

Abstract
A base-catalysed methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) colloidal gel formation was implemented as a cellular automaton (CA) system, specifically diffusion and/or reaction-limited aggregation. The initial characteristic model parameters were determined based on experimental synthesis of MTMS-based, ambient-pressure-dried aerogels. The applicability of the numerical approach to the prediction of gels' condensation kinetics and their structure was evaluated. The developed model reflects the kinetics properly within the investigated chemical composition range (in strongly reaction-limited aggregation conditions) and, to a slightly lesser extent, the structural properties of aggregates. Ultimately, a relatively simple numerical model reflecting silica-based gel formation was obtained and verified experimentally. The CA simulations have proved valid for understanding the relation between the initial chemical composition and kinetics constants of MTMS-based synthesis and their impact on secondary particle aggregation process kinetics.

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for flexible and portable electronics has stimulated research and development in building advanced electrochemical energy devices which are lightweight, ultrathin, small in size, bendable, foldable, knittable, wearable, and/or stretchable. In such flexible and portable devices, semi-solid/solid electrolytes besides anodes and cathodes are the necessary components determining the energy/power performances. By serving as the ion transport channels, such semi-solid/solid electrolytes may be beneficial to resolving the issues of leakage, electrode corrosion, and metal electrode dendrite growth. In this paper, the fundamentals of semi-solid/solid electrolytes (e.g., chemical composition, ionic conductivity, electrochemical window, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and other attractive features), the electrode-electrolyte interfacial properties, and their relationships with the performance of various energy devices (e.g., supercapacitors, secondary ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries) are comprehensively reviewed in terms of materials synthesis and/or characterization, functional mechanisms, and device assembling for performance validation. The most recent advancements in improving the performance of electrochemical energy devices are summarized with focuses on analyzing the existing technical challenges (e.g., solid electrolyte interphase formation, metal electrode dendrite growth, polysulfide shuttle issue, electrolyte instability in half-open battery structure) and the strategies for overcoming these challenges through modification of semi-solid/solid electrolyte materials. Several possible directions for future research and development are proposed for going beyond existing technological bottlenecks and achieving desirable flexible and portable electrochemical energy devices to fulfill their practical applications. It is expected that this review may provide the readers with a comprehensive cross-technology understanding of the semi-solid/solid electrolytes for facilitating their current and future researches on the flexible and portable electrochemical energy devices.

Abstract
The growing trend of intelligent devices ranging from wearables and soft robots to artificial intelligence has set a high demand for smart batteries. Hydrogels provide opportunities for smart batteries to self-adjust their functions according to the operation conditions. Despite the progress in hydrogel-based smart batteries, a gap remains between the designable functions of diverse hydrogels and the expected performance of batteries. In this Perspective, we first briefly introduce the fundamentals of hydrogels, including formation, structure, and characteristics of the internal water and ions. Batteries that operate under unusual mechanical and temperature conditions enabled by hydrogels are highlighted. Challenges and opportunities for further development of hydrogels are outlined to propose future research in smart batteries toward all-climate power sources and intelligent wearables.

Abstract
Ionic switches with a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect are highly desirable in the fabrication of smart electrolytes for the safety protection of electrochemical energy devices. However, most of them encounter liquid leaking or volume shrinking problems, limiting their long-term and stable operations. Herein, a PTC-type ionic switch is introduced based on a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) hydrogel soaked by calcium acetate (CaAc), with a resistance change of six times in maximum between the homogeneous and phase separated state. The PTC effect is owing to the strong phase separation upon heating where the ion transport is restricted. Such a hydrogel-based PTC-type ionic switch is in the solid state and isochoric during phase separation without leaking or shrinking issues. The influence of different CaAc soaking concentrations is investigated. A simplified model consisting of interconnected ion channels is proposed based on microstructure analysis. A smart supercapacitor is successfully demonstrated by this PTC ionic switch with a safety protection ability. The research here would provide a new pathway for the design and development of PTC-type ionic switches in the safety protection of electrochemical energy storage devices.

Abstract
Capacity degradation and destructive hazards are two major challenges for the operation of lithium-ion batteries at high temperatures. Although adding flame retardants or fire extinguishing agents can provide one-off self-protection in case of emergency overheating, it is desirable to directly regulate battery operation according to the temperature. Herein, smart self-protecting aqueous lithium-ion batteries are developed using thermos-responsive separators prepared through in situ polymerization on the hydrophilic separator. The thermos-responsive separator blocks the lithium ion transport channels at high temperature and reopens when the battery cools down; more importantly, this transition is reversible. The influence of lithium salts on the thermos-responsive behaviors of the hydrogels is investigated. Then suitable lithium salt (LiNO3 ) and concentration (1 m) are selected in the electrolyte to achieve self-protection without sacrificing battery performance. The shut-off temperature can be tuned from 30 to 80 °C by adjusting the hydrophilic and hydrophobic moiety ratio in the hydrogel for targeted applications. This self-protecting LiMn2 O4 /carbon coated LiTi2 (PO4 )3 (LMO/C-LTP) battery shows promise for smart energy storage devices with high safety and extended lifespan in case of high operating temperatures.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) with exceptional theoretical capacity have garnered significant interest in large-scale electrochemical energy storage devices due to their low cost, abundant material, inherent safety, high specific energy, and ecofriendly nature. Metal carbides/nitrides, known as MXenes, have emerged as a large family of 2D transition metal carbides or carbonitrides with excellent properties, e.g., high electrical conductivity, large surface functional groups (e.g., F, O, and OH), low energy barriers for the diffusion of electrolyte ions with wide interlayer spaces. After a decade of effort, significant development has been achieved in the synthesis, properties, and applications of MXenes. Thus, it has opened up various exciting opportunities to construct advanced MXene-based nanostructures for ZIBs with excellent specific energy and power. Herein, this review summarizes the advances across multiple synthesis routes, related properties, morphological and structural characteristics, and chemistries of MXenes for ZIBs. The recent development of MXene-based electrodes is introduced, and electrolytes for ZIBs are elucidated in detail. MXene-based rocking chair ZIBs, strategies to enhance the performance of MXene-based cathodes, suppress the dendrites in MXene-based anodes, and MXene-based flexible ZIBs are pointed out. A rational design and modification of the MXenes as well as the production of composites with metal oxides exhibits promise in solving issues and enhancing the electrochemical performance of ZIBs. Finally, the present challenges and future prospects for MXene-based ZIBs are discussed.

Abstract
Triazolium-based ionic liquids (T1, T2 and T3) with or without terminal hydroxyl groups were prepared via Cu(i) catalysed azide-alkyne click chemistry and their properties were investigated using various technologies. The hydroxyl groups obviously affected their physicochemical properties, where with a decrease in the number of hydroxyl groups, their stability and conductivity were enhanced. T1, T2 and T3 showed relatively high thermal stability, and their electrochemical stability windows (ESWs) were 4.76, 4.11 and 3.52 V, respectively. T1S-20 was obtained via the addition of zinc trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (Zn(CF3SO3)2) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) to T1, displaying conductivity and ESW values of 1.55 × 10-3 S cm-1 and 6.36 V at 30 °C, respectively. Subsequently, a Zn/Li3V2(PO4)3 battery was assembled using T1S-20 as the electrolyte and its performances at 30 °C and 80 °C were investigated. The battery showed a capacity of 81 mA h g-1 at 30 °C, and its capacity retention rate was 89% after 50 cycles. After increasing the temperature to 80 °C, its initial capacity increased to 111 mA h g-1 with a capacity retention rate of 93.6% after 100 cycles, which was much higher than that of the aqueous electrolyte (WS-20)-based zinc ion battery (71.8%). Simultaneously, the T1S-20 electrolyte-based battery exhibited a good charge/discharge efficiency, and its Coulomb efficiency was 99%. Consequently, the T1S-20 electrolyte displayed a better performance in the Zn/Li3V2(PO4)3 battery than that with the aqueous electrolyte, especially at high temperature.

Abstract
Multifunctional aqueous rechargeable batteries (MARBs) are regarded as safe, cost-effective, and scalable electrochemical energy storage devices, which offer additional functionalities that conventional batteries cannot achieve, which ideally leads to unprecedented applications. Although MARBs are among the most exciting and rapidly growing topics in scientific research and industrial development nowadays, a systematic summary of the evolution and advances in the field of MARBs is still not available. Therefore, the review presented comprehensively and systematically summarizes the design principles and the recent advances of MARBs by categories of smart ARBs and integrated systems, together with an analysis of their device design and configuration, electrochemical performance, and diverse smart functions. The two most promising strategies to construct novel MARBs may be A) the introduction of functional materials into ARB components, and B) integration of ARBs with other functional devices. The ongoing challenges and future perspectives in this research and development field are outlined to foster the future development of MARBs. Finally, the most important upcoming research directions in this rapidly developing field are highlighted that may be most promising to lead to the commercialization of MARBs and to a further broadening of their range of applications.

Abstract
The p-type or n-type redox reactions of organics are being used as the reversible electrodes to build the next-generation rechargeable batteries with sustainable and tunable characteristics. However, the n-type organics that store cations generally exhibit low potential (<0.8 V vs. Zn/Zn2+ ), while the p-type organics that store anions suffer from limited capacity (<100 mAh g-1 ). Herein, we demonstrate that bis(phenylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium iodide (PTD-1) containing both n-type and p-type redox moieties exhibits a hybrid charge storage mechanism (n/p-type at low potential, p-type at high potential). Such a hybrid mechanism combines the advantages of n- and p-type reactions and compensates for the associated drawbacks of each. Accordingly, the aqueous Zn//PTD-1 full cell shows a high voltage (1.8 Vmaximum or 1.1 Vaverage ), a high capacity 188.24 mAh gPTD-1 -1 (achieved at 40 mA g-1 ), a long-life and a supercapacitor-like high power. These results shed new light on the design of advanced organic electrodes.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZBs) have been considered as one of the most promising large-scale energy storage systems, owing to the advantages of raw material abundance, low cost, and eco-friendliness. However, the severe growth of Zn dendrites leads to poor stability and low Coulombic efficiency of AZBs. Herein, to effectively inhibit the growth of Zn dendrites, a new strategy has been proposed, i.e., tuning the surface energy of the Zn anode. This strategy can be achieved by in situ doping of Sn heteroatoms in the lattice of metallic Zn via codeposition of Sn and Zn with a small amount of the SnCl2 electrolyte additive. Density functional theory calculations have suggested that Sn heteroatom doping can sharply decrease the surface free energy of the Zn anode. As a consequence, driven by the locally strong electric field, metallic Sn tends to deposit at the tips of the Zn anode, thus decreases the surface energy and growth of Zn at the tips, resulting in a dendrite-free Zn anode. The positive effect of the SnCl2 additive has been demonstrated in both the Zn∥Zn symmetric battery and the Zn/LFP and Zn/HATN full cell. This novel strategy can light a new way to suppress Zn dendrites for long life span Zn-ion batteries.

Abstract
Owing to the development of aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), flexible ZIBs are deemed as potential candidates to power wearable electronics. ZIBs with solid-state polymer electrolytes can not only maintain additional load-bearing properties, but exhibit enhanced electrochemical properties by preventing dendrite formation and inhibiting cathode dissolution. Substantial efforts have been applied to polymer electrolytes by developing solid polymer electrolytes, hydrogel polymer electrolytes, and hybrid polymer electrolytes; however, the research of polymer electrolytes for ZIBs is still immature. Herein, the recent progress in polymer electrolytes is summarized by category for flexible ZIBs, especially hydrogel electrolytes, including their synthesis and characterization. Aiming to provide an insight from lab research to commercialization, the relevant challenges, device configurations, and life cycle analysis are consolidated. As flexible batteries, the majority of polymer electrolytes exploited so far only emphasizes the electrochemical performance but the mechanical behavior and interactions with the electrode materials have hardly been considered. Hence, strategies of combining softness and strength and the integration with electrodes are discussed for flexible ZIBs. A ranking index, combining both electrochemical and mechanical properties, is introduced. Future research directions are also covered to guide research toward the commercialization of flexible ZIBs.

Abstract
Manganese-based oxide is arguably one of the most well-studied cathode materials for zinc-ion battery (ZIB) due to its wide oxidation states, cost-effectiveness, and matured synthesis process. As a result, there are numerous reports that show significant strides in the progress of Mn-based oxides as ZIB cathode. However, ironically, due to the sheer number of Mn-based oxides that have been published in recent years, there remain certain contemplations with regards to the electrochemical performance of each type of Mn-based oxides and their performance comparison among various Mn polymorphs and oxidation states. Thus, to provide a clearer indication of the development of Mn-based oxides, the recent progress in Mn-based oxides as ZIB cathode was summarized systematically in this Review. More specifically, (1) the classification of Mn-based oxides based on the oxidation states (i. e., MnO2 , Mn3 O4 , Mn2 O3 , and MnO), (2) their respective polymorphs (i. e., α-MnO2 and δ-MnO2 ) as ZIB cathode, (3) the modification strategies commonly employed to enhance the performance, and (4) the effects of these modification strategies on the performance enhancement were reviewed. Lastly, perspectives and outlook of Mn-based oxides as ZIB cathode were discussed at the end of this Review.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) show great potential in large-scale energy storage systems for their advantages of high safety, low cost, high capacity, and environmental friendliness. However, the poor performance of Zn metal anode seriously hinders the application of ZIBs. Herein, we use the zinc-ion intercalatable V2O5·nH2O (VO) as the interface modification material, for the first time, to on-site build a Zn2+-conductive ZnxV2O5·nH2O (ZnVO) interfacial layer via the spontaneous short-circuit reaction between the pre-fabricated VO film and Zn metal foil. Compared with the bare Zn, the ZnVO-coated Zn anode exhibits better electrochemical performances with dendrite-free Zn deposits, lower polarization, higher coulombic efficiency over 99% after long cycles and 10 times higher cycle life, which is confirmed by constructing Zn symmetrical cell and Zn|ZnSO4 + Li2SO4|LiFePO4 full cell.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn batteries that provide a synergistic integration of absolute safety and high energy density have been considered as highly promising energy-storage systems for powering electronics. Despite the rapid progress made in developing high-performance cathodes and electrolytes, the underestimated but non-negligible dendrites of Zn anode have been observed to shorten battery lifespan. Herein, this dendrite issue in Zn anodes, with regard to fundamentals, protection strategies, characterization techniques, and theoretical simulations, is systematically discussed. An overall comparison between the Zn dendrite and its Li and Al counterparts, to highlight their differences in both origin and topology, is given. Subsequently, in-depth clarifications of the specific influence factors of Zn dendrites, including the accumulation effect and the cathode loading mass (a distinct factor for laboratory studies and practical applications) are presented. Recent advances in Zn dendrite protection are then comprehensively summarized and categorized to generate an overview of respective superiorities and limitations of various strategies. Accordingly, theoretical computations and advanced characterization approaches are introduced as mechanism guidelines and measurement criteria for dendrite suppression, respectively. The concluding section emphasizes future challenges in addressing the Zn dendrite issue and potential approaches to further promoting the lifespan of Zn batteries.

Abstract
On account of high energy density depending on the utilized zinc metal anode of high theoretical capacity and its excellent security due to aqueous electrolytes that usually be locked in polymer hosts referred to as hydrogels, quasi-solid zinc-based batteries have been subjected to more and more interest from researchers. The good water retention and electrolyte load capacity of the hydrogel, contributing to the acquirement of high ionic conductivity and durability of the as-obtained quasi-solid electrolyte, play a significant role on the performance of the devices. Moreover, the chemistry of hydrogels can be tuned to endow quasi-solid electrolytes with additional functions in terms of application scenarios of solid-state batteries. Herein, the frontier disciplines of hydrogel electrolytes for Zn-based batteries were reviewed. The cross-linking process of the polymer networks for hydrogel materials with different functions, such as stretchability, compressibility, and self-healing, were also discussed to analyze the properties of the polymer electrolyte. Based on the merits of the functionalized hydrogel, the further application of hydrogel electrolytes in Zn-based batteries is the focus of this paper. The electrochemical performance and mechanical property of Zn-based batteries with functionalized hydrogel electrolytes under extreme conditions were presented to evaluate the crucial role of the polymer hydrogel electrolyte. Finally, the challenges of hydrogel electrolytes for currently developed Zn-based batteries are highlighted with the hope to boost their commercial application in energy conversion devices.

Abstract
Addressing the cost concerns and safety of zinc metal has stimulated research on mild aqueous Zn-metal batteries. However, their application is limited by dendrite formation and H2 evolution on the Zn anode. Here, ethylene glycol (EG) is proposed as additional water blocker to form localized high-concentration electrolyte for aqueous Zn batteries. This unique solvation structure inhibits hydrate formation and facilitates close association of Zn2+ and SO4 2- , which alleviates undesired H2 evolution and enables dendrite-free Zn plating/stripping. Accordingly, a Zn//PQ-MCT (phenanthrenequinone macrocyclic trimer) full cell with such electrolyte exhibits a very long cycling life (more than 8000 cycles). Furthermore, this EG-based aqueous electrolyte is non-flammable and inexpensive and prevents evaporation of water when open to the atmosphere, endowing aqueous Zn batteries with excellent safety performance and easy operability in practical applications.

Abstract
The safety issue caused by thermal runaway poses a huge threat toward the lifespan and application of high-density electrochemical energy storage devices, especially in the field of micro-energy, such as microsupercapacitors (MSCs). The heat accumulation is difficult to be eliminated, considering the narrow space inside integrated electronic devices attached to the MSC group. Active thermal management is of paramount importance to ensure the normal operation of electronic devices. However, existing one-time thermal protection strategies cannot fully meet current requirements. Herein, we report a promising thermoreversible temperature-responsive electrolyte system, which can shut down the current flow before thermal runaway occurs, thanks to the sol-gel transition of Pluronic [poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide)]-based graft copolymer solution. As the temperature rises to 80 °C, the self-protective electrolyte will change from the sol state to gel state. Meanwhile, the internal resistance increases and ionic conductivity decreases gradually as a result of the gelation of the sol electrolyte. The capacity of the energy storage device using the self-protective electrolyte is reduced by about 95%, and the ionic conductivity remains at only 1% at 80 °C compared with the initial value at room temperature, and it can be restored after cooling down. During 20 heating/cooling cycles, the electrochemical performance is substantially stable, demonstrating a potential approach to achieve repeatability and self-protection for micro-energy storage devices according to temperature changes. In addition, we integrated the as-prepared self-protective electrolyte into MSCs via three-dimensional printing technology to design an all-printed transferable micro-energy storage device with the dynamic reversible self-protection behavior, and the thermo-switchable protection mechanism under series and parallel conditions were studied under appropriate temperature window (25-80 °C). The strategy disclosed herein is expected to provide new insights into the new-generation smart MSCs for their wide applications in diverse fields such as microelectronics and wearable devices.

Abstract
Fiber-shaped energy storage devices areindispensableparts of wearable and portable electronics. Aqueous rechargeable Ni/Fe battery is a very appropriate energy storage device due to their good safety without organic electrolytes, high ionic conductivity, and low cost. Unfortunately, the low energy density, poor power density and cycling performance hinder its further practical applications. In this study, in order to obtain high performance negative iron-based material, we first synthesized α-iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanorods (NRs) with superstructures on the surface of highly conductive carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs), then electrically conductive polypyrrole (PPy) was coated to enhance the electron, ion diffusion and cycle stability. Theas-prepared α-Fe2O3@PPy NRs/CNTF electrode shows a high specific capacity of 0.62 Ah cm-3 at the current density of 1 A cm-3. Furthermore, the Ni/Fe battery that was assembled by the above negative electrode shows a maximum volumetric energy density of 15.47 mWh cm-3 with 228.2 mW cm-3 at a current density of 1 A cm-3. The cycling durability and mechanical flexibility of the Ni/Fe battery were tested, which show good prospect for practical application. In summary, these merits make it possible for our Ni/Fe battery to have practical applications in next generation flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have been considered as prospective alternatives for lithium-ion batteries, which are able to serve as power sources for next-generation wearable and flexible devices, owing to the merits of abundant zinc resources and high safety of aqueous electrolyte. However, the lack of suitable cathode materials with flexibility for ZIBs hinders their further application. Herein, a novel cathode material [i.e., MnO2 nanosheet-assembled hollow polyhedron anchored on carbon cloth (MnO2 /CC)] was prepared through a rapid hydrothermal method by using ZIF-67 as self-sacrificing template. When tested in an aqueous ZIB, the MnO2 /CC delivered a high reversible capacity of 263.9 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 300 cycles, far exceeding those of the commercial MnO2 electrode. More importantly, benefiting from the unique structural advantages, a flexible ZIB assembled based on the MnO2 /CC displayed a stable output voltage of 1.53 V and a specific capacity of 91.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 30 cycles. It also successfully lit LED bulbs even under different bending angles, showing good flexibility. This research contributes to the development of MnO2 -based cathode materials for high-performance flexible ZIBs.

Abstract
With lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries as energy storage devices, operational safety from thermal runaway remains a major obstacle especially for applications in harsh environments such as in the oil industry. In this approach, a facile method via microwave irradiation technique (MWI) was followed to prepare Co3O4/reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanocomposites as anodes for high temperature li-ion batteries. Results showed that the addition of h-BN not only enhanced the thermal stability of Co3O4/RGO nanocomposites but also enhanced the specific surface area. Co3O4/RGO/h-BN nanocomposites displayed the highest specific surface area of 191 m2/g evidencing the synergistic effects between RGO and h-BN. Moreover, Co3O4/RGO/h-BN also displayed the highest specific capacity with stable reversibility on the high performance after 100 cycles and lower internal resistance. Interestingly, this novel nanocomposite exhibits outstanding high temperature performances with excellent cycling stability (100% capacity retention) and a decreased internal resistance at 150 °C.
