Abstract
Silicon (Si), a high-capacity electrode material, is crucial for achieving high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. However, Si suffers from poor cycling stability due to its significant volume changes during operation. In this work, a tannic acid functionalized aqueous dual-network binder with an intramolecular tannic acid functionalized network has been synthesized, which is composed of covalent-cross-linked polyamide and ionic-cross-linked alginate (Alg(Ni)-PAM-TA), and employed as an advanced binder for stabilizing Si anodes. The resultant Alg(Ni)-PAM-TA binder, incorporating diverse functional groups including amide, carboxylic acid, and dynamic hydrogen bonds, can easily interact with both Si nanoparticles and the Cu foil, thereby facilitating the formation of a highly resilient network characterized by exceptional adhesion strength. Moreover, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicate that the Alg(Ni)-PAM-TA network shows an increased intramolecular hydrogen bond number with increasing concentration of TA and a decreased intramolecular hydrogen bond between PAM and Alg as a result of the aggregation behavior of tannic acids themselves. Consequently, the binder significantly enhances the Si electrode's integrity throughout repeated charge/discharge cycles. At a current density of 0.84 A g-1, the Si electrode retains a capacity of 1863.4 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles. This aqueous binder functionalized with the intramolecular network via the incorporation of TA molecules holds great promise for the development of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The development of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology has provided a new solution to address the shortage of donors, multiple surgeries, and aesthetic concerns in microtia reconstruction surgery. The production of bioinks is the most critical aspect of 3D bioprinting. Acellular cartilage matrix (ACM) and sodium alginate (SA) are commonly used 3D bioprinting materials, and there have been reports of their combined use. However, there is a lack of comprehensive evaluations on ACM-SA scaffolds with different proportions. In this study, bioinks were prepared by mixing different proportions of decellularized rabbit ear cartilage powder and SA and then printed using 3D bioprinting technology and crosslinked with calcium ions to fabricate scaffolds. The physical properties, biocompatibility, and toxicity of ACM-SA scaffolds with different proportions were compared. The adhesion and proliferation of rabbit adipose-derived stem cells on ACM-SA scaffolds of different proportions, as well as the secretion of Collagen Type II, were evaluated under an adipose-derived stem cell chondrogenic induction medium. The following conclusions were drawn: when the proportion of SA in the ACM-SA scaffolds was <30%, the printed structure failed to form. The ACM-SA scaffolds in proportions from 1:9 to 6:4 showed no significant cytotoxicity, among which the 5:5 proportion of ACM-SA scaffold was superior in terms of adhesiveness and promoting cell proliferation and differentiation. Although a higher proportion of SA can provide greater mechanical strength, it also significantly increases the swelling ratio and reduces cell proliferation capabilities. Overall, the 5:5 proportion of ACM-SA scaffold demonstrated a more desirable biological and physical performance.

Abstract
Zinc-bromine (Zn-Br) redox provides a high energy density and low-cost option for next-generation energy storage systems, and polybromide diffusion remains a major issue leading to Zn anode corrosion, dendrite growth, battery self-discharge and limited electrochemical performance. A dual-functional Alginate-Graphene Oxide (AGO) hydrogel coating is proposed to prevent polybromide corrosion and suppress dendrite growth in Zn-Br batteries through negatively charged carboxyl groups and enhanced mechanical properties. The battery with anode of plain zinc coated with AGO (Zn]AGO) survives a severely corrosive environment with higher polybromide concentration than usual without a membrane, and achieves 80 cycles with 100% Coulombic and 80.65% energy efficiencies, four times compared to plain Zn anode. The promising performance is comparable to typical Zn-Br batteries using physical membranes, and the AGO coating concept can be well adapted to various Zn-Br systems to promote their applications.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) assembled with gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) have gained great popularity due to their low cost and safety. Nevertheless, the extensive utilization of GPE based AZIBs is hindered by various challenges, such as inadequate conductivity, limited mechanical strength, and unstable electrochemical properties. Herein, through the multiple cross-linking reaction of sodium alginate (SA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and graphene oxide (GO), a hydrated GPE with high conductivity and excellent mechanical property was prepared. GO formed strong hydrogen-bonding interaction with polymers to build a three-dimensional network structure for ion migration and improved the mechanical property of GPE. The prepared GPE showed high ionic conductivity of 2.89×10-3 S cm-1 and excellent tensile strength of 900 kPa. In addition, the assembled Zn-Li hybrid battery provided a discharge specific capacity retention rate of 67.6 % and a Coulombic efficiency (CE) of approximate 100 % after 1000 cycles at 1 C.

Abstract
A structurally dense hydrogel, with strong hydrogen bonding networks, was formed from poly(vinyl alcohol), sodium alginate, and oligomeric proanthocyanidins, using a combination of freeze-thaw cycles and calcium ion cross-linking. The structure of the hydrogel was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical testing and thermogravimetric analysis showed that incorporation of proanthocyanidins enhanced both the mechanical properties and the thermal stability of the hydrogel. The hydrogel was also demonstrated to have excellent ultraviolet resistance and antioxidant properties. The hydrogel was further shown that this hydrogel is also capable of generating electrochemical reactions, which strongly suggests that this hydrogel has exciting potential in many fields.

Abstract
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is the most common binder for cathode electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, PVDF is a fluorinated compound and requires toxic N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent during the slurry preparation, making the electrode fabrication process environmentally unfriendly. In this study, we propose the use of carrageenan biopolymers as a sustainable source of water-processable binders for high-voltage NMC811 cathodes. Three types of carrageenan (Carr) biopolymers were investigated, with one, two, or three sulfonate groups (SO3-), namely, kappa, iota, and lambda carrageenans, respectively. In addition to the nature of carrageenans, this article also reports the optimization of the cathode formulations, which were prepared by using between 5 wt % of the binder to a lower amount of 2 wt %. Processing of the aqueous slurries and the nature of the binder, in terms of the morphology and electrochemical performance of the electrodes, were also investigated. The Carr binder with 3SO3- groups (3SO3-Carr) exhibited the highest discharge capacities, delivering 133.1 mAh g-1 at 3C and 105.0 mAh g-1 at 5C, which was similar to the organic-based PVDF electrode (136.1 and 108.7 mAh g-1, respectively). Furthermore, 3SO3-Carr reached an outstanding capacity retention of 91% after 90 cycles at 0.5C, which was attributed to a homogeneous NMC811 and a conductive carbon particle dispersion, superior adhesion strength to the current collector (17.3 ± 0.7 N m-1 vs 0.3 ± 0.1 N m-1 for PVDF), and reduced charge-transfer resistance. Postmortem analysis unveiled good preservation of the NMC811 particles, while the 1SO3-Carr and 2SO3-Carr electrodes showed damaged morphologies.

Abstract
The hydrophilic poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdinyloxy-4-yl-methacrylamide) (PTMAm) was utilized as redox target material in an aqueous organic redox targeting flow battery (RTFB). This polymer is processed into granules, which contain a conductive agent and an alginate binder. By this, a hydrophilic, yet water-insoluble redox target can be obtained. The target was combined with the redox mediator molecule N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-2-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yloxyl)amino]ethan-1-ammonium chloride (TEMPOAmide), that has been reported earlier as flow battery active material. This target/mediator combination has been characterized electrochemically and flow battery testing has been done. Furthermore, in-operando characterization of the redox target via electrolyte state-of-charge (SOC) monitoring has been performed for the first time. The approach provides estimates for the redox target's SOC changes during cycling. In addition, a figure of merit - the "redox targetivity" - is proposed, which provides insights into the efficiency of the targeting reaction and supports the future optimization of materials, cell designs, and operational parameters for RTFBs.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based soft colloidal particles mediated by the dynamic bonding-engineered interfacial self-assembly can regulate the properties of oil-water interfacial films, availing the stability of emulsions under a wide pH range. The amphiphilic phenylboronic alginate soft colloidal particles (Alg-PBA) were designed to stabilize pH-responsive Pickering emulsions (PEs). Combining stability analysis with quartz crystal microbalance and dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), the microstructure and viscoelasticity of Alg-PBA at the oil-water interface were determined. The results showed that PEs stabilized by Alg-PBA due to a thicker and stronger viscoelastic interface film induced by BO bonds and hydrogen bonds. The structure-function relationship of the Alg-PBA emulsifier driven by dynamic bonds was further elaborated at multiple scales by laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Meanwhile, the microstructure of aerogels templated by emulsion could be tuned by adjusting dynamic bonds, which provides a new idea for polysaccharide soft material engineering.

Abstract
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) with a spinel structure is one of the most promising cathode materials choices for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, at a high operating voltages, the decomposition of organic electrolytes and the dissolution of transition metals, especially Mn(II) ions, cause unsatisfactory cycle stability. The initial application of a sodium alginate (SA)-xylan biopolymer as an aqueous binder aims to address the aforementioned problems. The SX28-LNMO electrode has a sizable discharge capacity, exceptional rate capability, and long-term cyclability with a capacity retention of 99.8% after 450 cycles at 1C and a remarkable rate capability of 121 mAh g-1 even at 10C. A more thorough investigation illustrated that SX28 binder provides a substantial adhesion property and generates a uniform (CEI) layer on the LNMO surface, suppressing electrolytes' oxidative decomposition upon cycling and improving LIB performances. This work highlights the potential of hemicellulose as an aqueous binder for 5.0 V high-voltage cathodes.

Abstract
The incompatibility of poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) with acidic ionic liquid electrolytes and the use of toxic and high-cost N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) solvents hinder the wide application of aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs). In this work, sodium alginate (Na-Alg) is developed as an aqueous binder for the fabrication of graphite positive electrodes in AIBs. The compatibility of various binders with the ionic liquid electrolyte is evaluated, and interaction between various binders and graphite particles before and after cycling is compared and discussed. The results demonstrate that the well compatibility of Na-Alg in ionic liquids and its reasonable distribution on the graphite surface facilitate fast charge transfer and ion diffusion, reduce electrode polarization, and thus contributing to significantly improved cycling stability and rate capability of AIBs. This work provides a new insight into the development of low-cost, eco-friendly, and high-performance binders for AIBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) are one of the promising options for large-scale electrical energy storage owing to their safety, affordability and environmental friendliness. During the past decade, there have been remarkable advancements in the AZBs technology, which are achieved through intensive efforts not only in the area of electrode materials but also in the fundamental understandings of non-electrode components such as electrolytes, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), current collectors, binders, and separators. In particular, the breakthroughs in the non-electrode components should not be underestimated in having enabled the AZBs to attain a higher energy and power density beyond that of the conventional AZBs, proving their critical role. In this article, the recent research progress is comprehensively reviewed with respect to non-electrode components in AZBs, covering the new-type of electrolytes that have been introduced, attempts for the tailoring of SEI, and the design efforts for multi-functional current collectors, binders and separators, along with the remaining challenges associated with these non-electrode components. Finally, perspectives are discussed toward future research directions in this field. This extensive overview on the non-electrode components is expected to guide and spur further development of high-performance AZBs.

Abstract
The increased percentage of renewable power sources involved in energy production highlights the importance of developing systems for stationary energy storage that satisfy the requirements of safety and low costs. Na ion batteries can be suitable candidates, specifically if their components are economic and safe. This study focuses on the development of aqueous processes and binders to prepare electrodes for sodium ion cells operating in aqueous solutions. We demonstrated the feasibility of a chitosan-based binder to produce freestanding electrodes for Na ion cells, without the use of organic solvents and current collectors in electrode processing. To our knowledge, it is the first time that water-processed, freestanding electrodes are used in aqueous Na ion cells, which could also be extended to other types of aqueous batteries. This is a real breakthrough in terms of sustainability, taking into account low risks for health and environment and low costs.
