Abstract
Recently, aqueous zinc-ion batteries with conversion mechanisms have received wide attention in energy storage systems on account of excellent specific capacity, high power density, and energy density. Unfortunately, some characteristics of cathode material, zinc anode, and electrolyte still limit the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries possessing conversion mechanism. Consequently, this paper provides a detailed summary of the development for numerous aqueous zinc-based batteries: zinc-sulfur (Zn-S) batteries, zinc-selenium (Zn-Se) batteries, zinc-tellurium (Zn-Te) batteries, zinc-iodine (Zn-I2) batteries, and zinc-bromine (Zn-Br2) batteries. Meanwhile, the reaction conversion mechanism of zinc-based batteries with conversion mechanism and the research progress in the investigation of composite cathode, zinc anode materials, and selection of electrolytes are systematically introduced. Finally, this review comprehensively describes the prospects and outlook of aqueous zinc-ion batteries with conversion mechanism, aiming to promote the rapid development of aqueous zinc-based batteries.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2402898. [PMID: 38862392 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202402898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
Sulfur is a promising conversion-type cathode for zinc batteries (ZBs) due to its high discharge capacity and cost-effectiveness. However, the redox conversion of multivalent S in ZBs is still limited, only having achieved S0/S2- redox conversion with low discharge voltage and poor reversibility. This study presents significant progress by demonstrating, for the first time, the reversible S2-/S4+ redox behavior in ZBs with up to six-electron transfer (with an achieved discharge capacity of ≈1284 mAh g-1) using a highly concentrated ClO4 --containing electrolyte. The developed succinonitrile-Zn(ClO4)2 eutectic electrolyte stabilizes the positive-valence S compound and contributes to an ultra-low polarization voltage. Notably, the achieved flat discharge plateaus demonstrate the highest operation voltage (1.54 V) achieved to date in Zn‖S batteries. Furthermore, the high-voltage Zn‖S battery exhibits remarkable conversion dynamics, excellent cycling performance (85.7% capacity retention after 500 cycles), high efficiency (98.4%), and energy density (527 Wh kg S -1). This strategy of positive-valence conversion of sulfur represents a significant advancement in understanding sulfur chemistry in batteries and holds promise for future high-voltage sulfur-based batteries.

Abstract
Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) a strong candidate to set off the second-generation energy storage boom due to their double charge transfer and dendrite-free advantages. However, the strong coulombic force and the huge diffusion energy barrier between Mg2+ and the electrode material have led to need for a cathode material that can enable the rapid and reversible de-insertion of Mg2+. So far, researchers have found that the sulfur-converted cathode materials have a greater application prospect due to the advantages of low price and high specific capacity, etc. Based on these advantages, it is possible to achieve the goal of increasing the magnesium storage capacity and cycling stability by reasonable modification of crystal or morphology. In this review, we focus on the application of a variety of sulfur-converted cathode materials in MIBs in recent years from the perspective of microstructural design, and provide an outlook on current challenges and future development.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) batteries hold promise as a large-scale energy storage solution, but their progress has been hindered by the lack of high-performance cathodes. Here, we address this challenge by unlocking the reversible four-electron Te0/Te4+ conversion in elemental Te, enabling the demonstration of superior Mg//Te dual-ion batteries. Specifically, the classic magnesium aluminum chloride complex (MACC) electrolyte is tailored by introducing Mg bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Mg(TFSI)2), which initiates the Te0/Te4+ conversion with two distinct charge-storage steps. Te cathode undergoes Te/TeCl4 conversion involving Cl- as charge carriers, during which a tellurium subchloride phase is presented as an intermediate. Significantly, the Te cathode achieves a high specific capacity of 543 mAh gTe -1 and an outstanding energy density of 850 Wh kgTe -1, outperforming most of the previously reported cathodes. Our electrolyte analysis indicates that the addition of Mg(TFSI)2 reduces the overall ion-molecule interaction and mitigates the strength of ion-solvent aggregation within the MACC electrolyte, which implies the facilized Cl- dissociation from the electrolyte. Besides, Mg(TFSI)2 is verified as an essential buffer to mitigate the corrosion and passivation of Mg anodes caused by the consumption of the electrolyte MgCl2 in Mg//Te dual-ion cells. These findings provide crucial insights into the development of advanced Mg-based dual-ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries are potential candidates for sustainable energy storage systems at a grid scale, owing to their high safety and low cost. However, the existing cathode chemistries exhibit restricted energy density, which hinders their extensive applications. Here, a tellurium redox-amphoteric conversion cathode chemistry is presented for aqueous zinc batteries, which delivers a specific capacity of 1223.9 mAh gTe -1 and a high energy density of 1028.0 Wh kgTe -1. A highly concentrated electrolyte (30 mol kg-1 ZnCl2) is revealed crucial for initiating the Te redox-amphoteric conversion as it suppresses the H2O reactivity and inhibits undesirable hydrolysis of the Te4+ product. By carrying out multiple operando/ex situ characterizations, the reversible six-electron Te2-/Te0/Te4+ conversion with TeCl4 is identified as the fully charged product and ZnTe as the fully discharged product. This finding not only enriches the conversion-type battery chemistries but also establishes a critical step in exploring redox-amphoteric materials for aqueous zinc batteries and beyond.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) has received very little exploration on its importance in the realm of battery-type energy storage technologies. They are abundantly present in seawater, and if successfully extracted and utilized in energy storage systems, it could lead to the long-term advancement of human civilization. Here, we fabricated an all-solid-state supercapacitor (ASSSC) using tellurium nanotubes decorated cobalt magnesium telluride microtubes (Te NTs@CoMgTe MTs) clad on nickel foam (NF). Owing to the unique mixed phase hierarchical structure, Te NTs@CoMgTe MTs showcases some advancement in energy storage performance. When tested in a three-electrode system, multiphasic hybrid of elemental Te and metal tellurides, Te NTs@CoMgTe MTs outperforms the monometallic telluride owing to the strong synergistic interaction effect triggered from conductive three components and delivers a long-life span performance up to 15,000 cycles. The fabricated Te NT@CoMgTe MT//AC solid-state device exhibits a maximum areal capacity of 59.2 μAh cm-2 (56.3 mAh g-1) at a current density of 6 mA cm-2 with a maximum energy density of 42.2 Wh kg-1 (46.5 μWh cm-2) at a power density of 6857.1 W kg-1 (7574.6 μW cm-2). The performance of the device is rigid even at different bending angles (0 to 180°) which validates the extensibility of the process for future applications.

Abstract
Al batteries are promising post-Li battery technologies for large-scale energy storage applications owing to their low cost and high theoretical capacity. However, one of the challenges that hinder their development is the unsatisfactory plating/stripping of the Al metal anode. To circumvent this issue, an ultrathin MXene layer is constructed on the surface of Al by in situ chemical reactions at room temperature. The as-prepared flexible MXene film acts like armor to protect the Al-metal by its high ionic conductivity and high mechanical flexibility. The MXene endow the Al anode with a long cyclic life of more than 5000 h at ultrahigh current density of 50 mA cm-2 for Al//Al batteries and a retention of 100% over 200 cycles for 355 Wh kg-1 PTO//Al batteries. This work provides fresh insights into the formation and regulation of stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces as well as effective strategies for improving Al metal batteries.

Abstract
Te-based materials with excellent electrical conductivity and ultra-high volume specific capacity have attracted much attention for the cost-efficient aqueous Zn batteries. However, the construction of functional structures with mild volume expansion and suppressed shuttle effects, enabling an expanded lifespan, is still a challenge for conversion-type materials. Herein, the carbon-coated zinc telluride nanowires (ZnTe@C NWs) are rationally designed as a high-performance cathode material for aqueous Zn batteries. The carbon-coated1D nanostructure could not only provide optimized transmission path for electrons and ions, but also help to maintain structure integrity upon volume variation and suppress intermediates dissolution, endowing the ZnTe@C NWs with improved cycling stability and reaction kinetics. Consequently, a reversible six-electron reaction mechanism of ZnTe@C NWs based on Te2- /Te4+ conversion with excellent output capacity (586 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ) and lifespan (>250 mAh g-1 retained for 400 cycles at 1 A g-1 ) is eventually achieved.

Abstract
Improving the energy share of renewable energy technologies is the only solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. The high-performing green battery energy storage technologies are critical for storing energy to address the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources. In recent years, aqueous batteries, particularly Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs), have achieved and shown great potential for stationary energy storage systems owing to their low cost and safer operation. However, the practical applications of the ZIBs have significantly been impeded due to the gap between the breakthroughs achieved in academic research and industrial developments. The present review discusses the ZIB's advantages, possibilities, and shortcomings for stationary energy storage systems. The Review begins with a brief introduction to the ZIBs and their charge storage mechanisms based on the structural properties of cathode materials. The scientific and technical challenges that obstruct the commercialization of the ZIBs are discussed in detail concerning their impact on accelerating the utilization of the ZIBs for real-life applications. The final section highlights the outlook on research in this flourishing field.

Abstract
Chalcogens, especially tellurium (Te), as conversion-type cathodes possess promising prospects for zinc batteries (ZBs) with potential rich valence supply and high energy density. However, the conversion reaction of Te is normally restricted to the Te2-/Te0 redox with a low voltage plateau at ∼0.59 V (vs Zn2+/Zn) rather than the expected positive valence conversion of Te0 to Ten+, inhibiting the development of Te-based batteries toward high output voltage and energy density. Herein, the desired reversible Te2-/Te0/Te2+/Te4+ redox behavior with up to six-electron transfer was successfully activated by employing a highly concentrated Cl--containing electrolyte (Cl- as strong nucleophile) for the first time. Three flat discharge plateaus located at 1.24, 0.77, and 0.51 V, respectively, are attained with a total capacity of 802.7 mAh g-1. Furthermore, to improve the stability of Ten+ products and enhance the cycling stability, a modified ionic liquid (IL)-based electrolyte was fabricated, leading to a high-performance Zn∥Te battery with high areal capacity (7.13 mAh cm-2), high energy density (542 Wh kgTe-1 or 227 Wh Lcathdoe+anode-1), excellent cycling performance, and a low self-discharge rate based on 400 mAh-level pouch cell. The results enhance the understanding of tellurium chemistry in batteries, substantially promising a remarkable route for advanced ZBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered to be one of the most promising devices for large-scale energy storage systems owing to their high theoretical capacity, environmental friendliness, and safety. However, the ionic intercalation or surface redox mechanisms in conventional cathode materials generally result in unsatisfactory capacities. Conversion-type aqueous zinc-tellurium (Zn-Te) batteries have recently gained widespread attention owing to their high theoretical specific capacities. However, it remains an enormous challenge to improve the slow kinetics of the aqueous Zn-Te batteries. Here, MoO2 nanoclusters embedded in hierarchical nitrogen-doped carbon nanoflower (MoO2 /NC) hosts are successfully synthesized and loaded with Te in aqueous Zn-Te batteries. Benefitting from the highly dispersed MoO2 nanoclusters and hierarchical nanoflower structure with a large specific surface area, the electrochemical kinetics of the Te redox reaction are significantly improved. As a result, the Te-MoO2 /NC electrode exhibits superior cycling stability and a high specific capacity of 493 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 . Meanwhile, the conversion mechanism is systematically explored using a variety of ex situ characterization methods. Therefore, this study provides a novel approach for enhancing the kinetics of the Te redox reaction in aqueous Zn-Te batteries.

Abstract
Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) are emerging as potential next-generation energy storage systems due to high security and high theoretical energy density. Nevertheless, the development of MIBs is limited by the lack of cathode materials with high specific capacity and cyclic stability. Currently, transition metal sulfides are considered as a promising class of cathode materials for advanced MIBs. Herein, a template-based strategy is proposed to successfully fabricate metal-organic framework-derived in-situ porous carbon nanorod-encapsulated CuS quantum dots (CuS-QD@C nanorods) via a two-step method of sulfurization and cation exchange. CuS quantum dots have abundant electrochemically active sites, which facilitate the contact between the electrode and the electrolyte. In addition, the tight combination of CuS quantum dots and porous carbon nanorods increases the electronic conductivity while accelerating the transport speed of ions and electrons. With these architectural and compositional advantages, when used as a cathode material for MIBs, the CuS-QD@C nanorods exhibit remarkable performance in magnesium storage, including a high reversible capacity of 323.7 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 100 cycles, excellent long-term cycling stability (98.5 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 ), and satisfying rate performance (111.8 mA g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 ).

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries are attractive as safe and low-cost energy storage systems. At present, due to the narrow window of the aqueous electrolyte and the strong reliance of the Zn2+ ion intercalated reaction on the host structure, the current intercalated cathode materials exhibit restricted energy densities. In contrast, cathode materials with conversion reactions can promise higher energy densities. Especially, the recently reported conversion-type cathode materials that function in nonalkaline electrolytes have garnered increasing attention. This is because the use of nonalkaline electrolytes can prevent the occurrence of side reactions encountered in alkaline electrolytes and thereby enhance cycling stability. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review on the reaction mechanisms, progress, challenges, and solutions to these cathode materials. In this review, four kinds of conversion-type cathode materials including MnO2 , halogen materials (Br2 and I2 ), chalcogenide materials (O2 , S, Se, and Te), and Cu-based compounds (CuI, Cu2 O, Cu2 S, CuO, CuS, and CuSe) are reviewed. First, the reaction mechanisms and battery structures of these materials are introduced. Second, the fundamental problems and their corresponding solutions are discussed in detail in each material. Finally, future directions and efforts for the development of conversion-type cathode materials for aqueous Zn batteries are proposed.

Abstract
Magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) have been pushed into the research boom in the post-lithium-ion batteries era due to their low cost, no dendrite hazard, and high capacity. However, finding suitable cathode materials to improve the slow kinetics of Mg2+ is an ongoing challenge. In this work, Ba0.18V2O4.95/NH4V4O10 film electrodes were grown in one step on indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive glass using a low-temperature liquid-phase deposition method. Temperature was used as the probe condition, and it was concluded that the films annealed at 400 °C had suitable crystallinity and de-ammonium lattice space. At lower current density, with 0.5 M Mg(ClO4)2/PC as the electrolyte, it exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 130.99 mA h m-2 at 210 mA m-2 and 106.52% capacity retention after 100 cycles. In addition, it exhibited excellent electrochemical performance in long-term cycling (92.98% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 600 mA m-2). According to the results of ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), the removal of NH4+ created more lattice space, assisting Ba0.18V2O4.95 to increase the transfer channels of Mg2+, providing more active sites to promote diffusion kinetics (the average DMg2+ was 2.07 × 10-12 cm2 s-1) and specific capacity. Therefore, these film electrodes for scalable Mg2+ storage are promising MIB cathode candidates that exhibit good performance advantages in storage applications.

Abstract
The low specific capacity and Mg non-affinity of graphite limit the energy density of ion rechargeable batteries. Here, we first identify that the monolayer C12-3-3 in sp2-sp3 carbon hybridization with high Li/Mg affinity is an appropriate anode material for Li-ion batteries and Mg-ion batteries via the first-principles simulations. The monolayer C12-3-3 can achieve high specific capacities of 1181 mAh/g for Li and 739 mAh/g for Mg, higher than those of most previous anodes. The Li storage reaction is an "adsorption-conversion-intercalation mechanism", while the Mg storage reaction is an "adsorption mechanism". The 2D carbon material of C12-3-3 displays fast diffusion kinetics with low diffusion barriers of 0.41 eV for Li and 0.21 eV for Mg. As a new carbon-based anode material, the monolayer C12-3-3 will promote the practical application of batteries with high-capacity and high-rate performance.
