Abstract
Benzoquinone (BQ) is considered to be a desirable cathode material for aqueous zinc-based batteries. The major limitations of BQ electrode are the severe sublimation and poor electrical conductivity, which results in serious mass loss during electrode preparation and inferior rate performance. In this study, iodine (I2) species are utilized as an efficient catalyst for the highly reversible conversion of BQ/BQ2- couple in the Zn-BQ battery system, wherein N-doped porous carbon is employed as a host material for anchoring the BQ molecule. In the combination electrode (denoted as BQ-I@NPC) with 1wt% I2 additive where I2 can serve as a carrier to accelerates the Zn2+ transmission, and reduce the voltage hysteresis of the electrode. As a result, the BQ-I@NPC cathode delivers a high specific capacity of ≈482 mAh g-1 at 0.25 A g-1, realizing a high energy density of 545 Wh kg-1 (based on BQ), which is the highest values among reported organic cathode materials for aqueous Zn-based batteries. Also, a high BQ loading (8 mg cm-2) can be attained, and achieving a superior cycling stability with a capacity retention of ≈80% after 20,000 times at 10 C. The work proposes an effective approach toward high performance organic electrode materials.

[PMID: 37764640 PMCID: PMC10534837 DOI: 10.3390/nano13182612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have garnered significant interest as a viable substitute for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), primarily due to their impressive energy density and low cost. However, the efficacy of zinc-air batteries is heavily dependent on electrocatalysts, which play a vital role in enhancing reaction efficiency and stability. This scholarly review article highlights the crucial significance of electrocatalysts in zinc-air batteries and explores the rationale behind employing Fe-Co-Ni-Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived hybrid materials as potential electrocatalysts. These MOF-derived electrocatalysts offer advantages such as abundancy, high catalytic activity, tunability, and structural stability. Various synthesis methods and characterization techniques are employed to optimize the properties of MOF-derived electrocatalysts. Such electrocatalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity, stability, and selectivity, making them suitable for applications in ZABs. Furthermore, they demonstrate notable capabilities in the realm of ZABs, encompassing elevated energy density, efficacy, and prolonged longevity. It is imperative to continue extensively researching and developing this area to propel the advancement of ZAB technology forward and pave the way for its practical implementation across diverse fields.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion battery (ZIB) featuring with high safety, low cost, environmentally friendly, and high energy density is one of the most promising systems for large-scale energy storage application. Despite extensive research progress made in developing high-performance cathodes, the Zn anode issues, such as Zn dendrites, corrosion, and hydrogen evolution, have been observed to shorten ZIB's lifespan seriously, thus restricting their practical application. Engineering advanced Zn anodes based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are widely investigated to address these issues. With atomic thickness, 2D materials possess ultrahigh specific surface area, much exposed active sites, superior mechanical strength and flexibility, and unique electrical properties, which confirm to be a promising alternative anode material for ZIBs. This review aims to boost rational design strategies of 2D materials for practical application of ZIB by combining the fundamental principle and research progress. Firstly, the fundamental principles of 2D materials against the drawbacks of Zn anode are introduced. Then, the designed strategies of several typical 2D materials for stable Zn anodes are comprehensively summarized. Finally, perspectives on the future development of advanced Zn anodes by taking advantage of these unique properties of 2D materials are proposed.

Abstract
Iron-cobalt (FeCo) oxides dispersed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were synthesized from nitrate precursors at loading levels from 10 wt% to 60 wt%. These catalysts were tested in lab-scale zinc-air batteries (ZABs) at a high current density of 100 mA cm-2 of the cathode area for the first time, cycling between 60 min of discharging and 60 min of charging. The optimum loading level for the best ZAB cycling performance was found to be 40 wt%, at which CoFe2O4 and CoO nanocrystals were detected. A discharge capacity of at least 90% was maintained for about 60 cycles with FeCo 40 wt%, demonstrating superior stability over amorphous FeCo oxides with FeCo 10 wt% despite similar performance at electrochemical tests. At a high current density of 100 mA cm-2, OER catalytic activity was found to be the limiting factor in ZAB's cyclability. The discrepancies between the ORR/OER catalytic activities by electrochemical and battery cycling test results highlight the role and importance of rGO in improving electrical conductivity and activation of metal oxide electrocatalysts under high current density conditions. The difference of battery cycling test results from traditional electrochemical test results suggests that electrochemical tests conducted at low current densities may be inadequate in predicting practical battery cycling performance.

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are currently receiving extensive attention because of their extremely high theoretical specific energy density, low manufacturing costs, and environmental friendliness. Exploring bifunctional catalysts with high activity and stability to overcome sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction is critical for the development of rechargeable ZABs. Atomically dispersed metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts possessing prominent advantages of high metal atom utilization and electrocatalytic activity are promising candidates to promote oxygen electrocatalysis. In this work, general principles for designing atomically dispersed M-N-C are reviewed. Then, strategies aiming at enhancing the bifunctional catalytic activity and stability are presented. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of M-N-C bifunctional oxygen catalysts for ZABs are outlined. It is expected that this review will provide insights into the targeted optimization of atomically dispersed M-N-C catalysts in rechargeable ZABs.

Abstract
As one type of advanced alternative batteries, zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted increasing attention because of their advantages of cost-effectiveness, high safety and environmentally benign features. However, the performance of cathode materials has become a bottleneck for the future application of ZIBs. In recent years, manganese dioxide (MnO2)-based materials as cathodes for ZIBs have been intensively explored. In this review, recent advances in MnO2-based cathode materials for ZIBs are comprehensively reviewed with a discussion about the reaction mechanisms for the fundamental understanding of the electrochemical processes. Furthermore, several challenges hindering the technology maturity are also analyzed with corresponding strategies to further improve the electrochemical performance of such Zn-MnO2 batteries.

Abstract
Flexible solid-state zinc-air batteries are promising energy technologies with low cost, superior performance and safety. However, flexible electrolytes are severely limited by their poor mechanical properties. Here, we introduce flexible bacterial cellulose (BC)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite hydrogel electrolytes (BPCE) based on bacterial cellulose (BC) microfibers and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by an in situ synthesis. Originating from the hydrogen bonds among BC microfibers and PVA matrix, these composites form load-bearing percolating dual network and their mechanical strength is increased 9 times (from 0.102 MPa of pristine PVA to 0.951 MPa of 6-BPCE). 6-BPCE shows extremely high ionic conductivities (80.8 mS cm-1). In addition, the solid-state zinc-air batteries can stably cycle over 440 h without large discharge and charge polarizations equipped with zinc anode and Co3O4@Ni cathode. Moreover, flexible solid-state zinc-air batteries can cycle well at any bending angle. As flexible electrolytes, they open up a new opportunity for the development of superior-performance, flexible, rechargeable, zinc-air batteries.
