Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are considered potential large-scale energy storage systems due to their low cost, environmentally friendly nature, and high safety. However, the development of high energy density cathode materials and uncertain reaction mechanisms remains a major challenge. In this work, the reaction mechanism, discharge voltage and diffusion properties of layered CrO2 as a cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries were studied using first-principles calculations, and the effect of pre-intercalated structural water on the electrochemical performance of CrO2 electrodes is also discussed. The results show that CrO2 exhibits high average discharge voltages (2.65 V for H insertion (pH = 7) and 1.97 V for Zn insertion) and medium theoretical capacities (319 mA h g-1 (H and Zn)). The H intercalation voltage strongly depends on the pH value of the electrolyte. The H/Zn co-insertion mechanism occurs at low hydrogen concentrations (c(H) ≤ 0.125), where the initial insertion of H reduces the total amount of subsequent Zn insertion. For the substrate containing structured water (CrO2·nH2O, n ≥ 0.5), the average voltage of Zn insertion is significantly increased, while the average voltage of H slightly decreases. In addition, the pre-intercalated water strategy significantly improved the diffusion properties of H and Zn. This study shows that layered CrO2·nH2O is a promising cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries, and also provides theoretical guidance for the development of high-performance cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
A series of deeply reduced MoIV6-polyoxometalates (POMs), [MoIV6(bpy)6MoVI2O16S2]·10H2O (1) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), [MoIV6(bpy)4(L-TrA)2MoV4(bpy)2O14S4]2·36.5H2O (2), and [MoIV6(bpy)4(D-TrA)2MoV4(bpy)2O14S4]2 (3) (TrA = tartaric acid), were obtained from one-pot hydrothermal syntheses. They feature the bioxo-bridged [MoIV3O3S]4+ incomplete cuboidal cores stabilized by strong triangular metal-metal bonds and datively chelated bpy π-ligands. The two apical MoVIO4 in 12e-Mo8 (1) and two [MoV2O3STrAbpy] in 16e-Mo10 (2, 3) complete the octahedral coordination geometry of the deeply reduced MoIV, not counting the MoIV-MoIV d2-d2 bonds. The aromatic planar bpy π ligands form a two-dimensional face-to-face π stacking supramolecular structure, which are further strengthened by point-to-face C-H···π interactions in the π stacked layers. 16e-Mo10 (2, 3) has stronger intramolecular face-to-face π stacking interactions, which are interconnected by intermolecular C-H···π into a three-dimensional framework structure. These structural features account for their highly enhanced electronic conductivities (1, 6.19 × 10-8 S cm-1; 2, 2.18 × 10-7 S cm-1), providing a new way of thinking to improve electronic conductivity of POMs. 1-3 have been described by first-principles density function theory (DFT) calculations and also characterized by elemental analyses, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), solid UV-visible spectra, and circular dichroic (CD) spectra.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are functional materials that are proving to be indispensable for the development of next-generation batteries. The porosity, crystallinity, and abundance of active sites in MOFs, which can be tuned by selecting the appropriate transition metal/organic linker combination, enable MOFs to meet the performance requirements for cathode materials in batteries. Recent studies on the use of MOFs in cathodes have verified their high durability, cyclability, and capacity thus demonstrating the huge potential of MOFs as high-performance cathode materials. However, to keep pace with the rapid growth of the battery industry, several challenges hindering the development of MOF-based cathode materials need to be overcome. This review analyzes current applications of MOFs to commercially available lithium-ion batteries as well as advanced batteries still in the research stage. This review provides a comprehensive outlook on the progress and potential of MOF cathodes in meeting the performance requirements of the future battery industry.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are one of the most compelling alternatives of lithium-ion batteries due to their inherent safety and economics viability. In response to the growing demand for green and sustainable energy storage solutions, organic electrodes with the scalability from inexpensive starting materials and potential for biodegradation after use have become a prominent choice for AZIBs. Despite gratifying progresses of organic molecules with electrochemical performance in AZIBs, the research is still in infancy and hampered by certain issues due to the underlying complex electrochemistry. Strategies for designing organic electrode materials for AZIBs with high specific capacity and long cycling life are discussed in detail in this review. Specifically, we put emphasis on the unique electrochemistry of different redox-active structures to provide in-depth understanding of their working mechanisms. In addition, we highlight the importance of molecular size/dimension regarding their profound impact on electrochemical performances. Finally, challenges and perspectives are discussed from the developing point of view for future AZIBs. We hope to provide a valuable evaluation on organic electrode materials for AZIBs in our context and give inspiration for the rational design of high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Zinc-organic batteries (ZOBs) are receiving widespread attention as up-and-coming energy-storage systems due to their sustainability, operational safety and low cost. Charge carrier is one of the critical factors affecting the redox kinetics and electrochemical performances of ZOBs. Compared with conventional large-sized and sluggish Zn2+ storage, non-metallic charge carriers with small hydrated size and light weight show accelerated interfacial dehydration and fast reaction kinetics, enabling superior electrochemical metrics for ZOBs. Thus, it is valuable and ongoing works to build better ZOBs with non-metallic ion storage. In this review, versatile non-metallic cationic (H+, NH4 +) and anionic (Cl-, OH-, CF3SO3 -, SO4 2-) charge carriers of ZOBs are first categorized with a brief comparison of their respective physicochemical properties and chemical interactions with redox-active organic materials. Furthermore, this work highlights the implementation effectiveness of non-metallic ions in ZOBs, giving insights into the impact of ion types on the metrics (capacity, rate capability, operation voltage, and cycle life) of organic cathodes. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of non-metal-ion-based ZOBs are outlined to guild the future development of next-generation energy communities.

Abstract
In this paper, we prepared the supramolecular polymers (MWCNT-APP-s) with a dual energy storage mechanism as the electrode materials by the coordination of four transition metal ions with the small molecule chelator (APP) and functionalized carbon nanotubes, respectively. Among four MWCNT-APP-s, MWCNT-APP-Fe has the characteristics of moderate micropore/mesopore, significant hydrophobicity, redox property and functional groups. Interestingly, the redox reaction of Fe3+/Fe2+ and -CN-/-CN- transformation give MWCNT-APP-Fe an energy storage basis of pseudocapacitance, while MWCNTs and the micro/mesopore structure in MWCNT-APP-Fe provide a double-layer energy storage platform. As expected, on base of the dual energy storage mechanism, the symmetric supercapacitor assembled with MWCNT-APP-Fe has a higher specific capacity (Cs, 421 F g-1 at 1 mV s-1) as well as a long-lasting stability of 94.8% capacity retention with 99% Coulombic efficiency after 10,000 cycles at 20 mV s-1. More notably, the relevant aqueous Zn2+ hybrid supercapacitor provides a high capacity (Cm) of 191 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and a long duration of over 2000 cycles at 50 A g-1, with a capacity retention of 92.4%. In summary, MWCNT-APP-Fe with a dual energy storage mechanism enables a potential application as an electrode material for high-performance supercapacitor.

Abstract
Metal-organic polymers (MOPs) are fascinating electrode materials for high-performance sodium-ion batteries due to their multiple redox centers and low cost. Herein, a flower-like π-d conjugated MOP (Cu-TABQ) was synthesized using tetramino-benzoquinone (TABQ) as an organic ligand and Cu2+ as a transition metal node under the slow release of Cu2+ from [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and subsequent dehydrogenation. It possesses dual redox centers of Cu2+/Cu+ and C[double bond, length as m-dash]O/C-O to render a three-electron transfer reaction for each coordination unit with a high reversible capacity of 322.9 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1 in the voltage range of 1.0 to 3.0 V. The flower-like structure enhances fast Na+ diffusion and highly reversible organic/inorganic redox centers. This results in excellent cycling performance with almost no degradation within 700 cycles and great rate performance with 198.8 mA h g-1 at 4000 mA g-1. The investigation of the Na-storage mechanism and attractive performance will shed light on the insightful design of MOP cathode materials for further batteries.

Abstract
Compared with Zn2+ storage, non-metallic charge carrier with small hydrated size and light weight shows fast dehydration and diffusion kinetics for Zn-organic batteries. Here we first report NH4 + /H+ co-storage in self-assembled organic superstructures (OSs) by intermolecular interactions of p-benzoquinone (BQ) and 2, 6-diaminoanthraquinone (DQ) polymer through H-bonding and π-π stacking. BQ-DQ OSs exhibit exposed quadruple-active carbonyl motifs and super electron delocalization routes, which are redox-exclusively coupled with high-kinetics NH4 + /H+ but exclude sluggish and rigid Zn2+ ions. A unique 4e- NH4 + /H+ co-coordination mechanism is unravelled, giving BQ-DQ cathode high capacity (299 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 ), large-current tolerance (100 A g-1 ) and ultralong life (50,000 cycles). This strategy further boosts the capacity to 358 mAh g-1 by modulating redox-active building units, giving new insights into ultra-fast and stable NH4 + /H+ storage in organic materials for better Zn batteries.

Abstract
Like hydroquinones and quinones, aromatic compounds with multiple NH2 groups and the corresponding quinonediimines have the potential to serve as components of useful redox-active organic materials. Benzene-1,2,4,5-tetramine (BTA) and its oxidized form BTA-H2 offer a promising redox pair of this type, and the compounds have proven to be useful in many areas of chemistry. However, key aspects of their behavior have remained poorly studied, such as the nature of their protonated forms, their preferred molecular structures, their reactivity, and their organization in condensed phases. In the present work, we have used a combination of improved methods of synthesis, computation, spectroscopic studies, and structural analyses to develop a deeper understanding of BTA, BTA-H2, their salts, and related compounds. The new knowledge is expected to accelerate exploitation of the compounds in areas of materials science where desirable properties can only be attained by properly controlling the organization of molecular components.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable battery has been an intense topic of research recently due to the significant safety issues of conventional Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Amongst the various candidates of aqueous batteries, aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) hold great promise as a next generation safe energy storage device due to its low cost, abundance in nature, low toxicity, environmental friendliness, low redox potential, and high theoretical capacity. Yet, the promise has not been realized due to their limitations, such as lower capacity compared to traditional LIB, dendrite growth, detrimental degradation of electrode materials structure as ions intercalate/de-intercalate, and gas evolution/corrosion at the electrodes, which remains a significant challenge. To address the challenges, various 2D materials with different physiochemical characteristics have been utilized. This review explores fundamental physiochemical characteristics of widely used 2D materials in AZIBs, including graphene, MoS2, MXenes, 2D metal organic framework, 2D covalent organic framework, and 2D transition metal oxides, and how their characteristics have been utilized or modified to address the challenges in AZIBs. The review also provides insights and perspectives on how 2D materials can help to realize the full potential of AZIBs for next-generation safe and reliable energy storage devices.

Zhang F, Wang G, Wu J, Chi X, Liu Y. An Organic Coordination Manganese Complex as Cathode for High-Voltage Aqueous Zinc-metal Battery. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309430. [PMID: 37715662 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202309430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023]
Abstract
Aqueous Zn-Mn battery has been considered as the most promising scalable energy-storage system due to its intrinsic safety and especially ultralow cost. However, the traditional Zn-Mn battery mainly using manganese oxides as cathode shows low voltage and suffers from dissolution/disproportionation of the cathode during cycling. Herein, for the first time, a high-voltage and long-cycle Zn-Mn battery based on a highly reversible organic coordination manganese complex cathode (Manganese polyacrylate, PAL-Mn) was constructed. Benefiting from the insoluble carboxylate ligand of PAL-Mn that can suppress shuttle effect and disproportionationation reaction of Mn3+ in a mild electrolyte, Mn3+ /Mn2+ reaction in coordination state is realized, which not only offers a high discharge voltage of 1.67 V but also exhibits excellent cyclability (100 % capacity retention, after 4000 cycles). High voltage reaction endows the Zn-Mn battery high specific energy (600 Wh kg-1 at 0.2 A g-1 ), indicating a bright application prospect. The strategy of introducing carboxylate ligands in Zn-Mn battery to harness high-voltage reaction of Mn3+ /Mn2+ well broadens the research of high-voltage Zn-Mn batteries under mild electrolyte conditions.

[PMID: 37382197 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202305532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
The use of conductive MOFs (c-MOFs) in zinc-based batteries has been a popular research direction. Zinc-based batteries are widely used with the advantages of high specific capacity and safety and stability, but they also face many problems. c-MOFs have excellent conductivity compared with other primitive MOFs, and therefore have better applications in zinc-based batteries. In this paper, the transfer mechanisms of the unique charges of c-MOFs: hop transport and band transport, respectively, are discussed and the way of electron transport is further addressed. Then, the various ways to prepare c-MOFs are introduced, among which solvothermal, interfacial synthesis, and postprocessing methods are widely used. In addition, the applications of c-MOFs are discussed in terms of their role and performance in different types of zinc-based batteries. Finally, the current problems of c-MOFs and the prospects for their future development are presented.

Abstract
Organic small molecules as high-capacity cathodes for Zn-organic batteries have inspired numerous interests, but are trapped by their easy-dissolution in electrolytes. Here we knit ultrastable lock-and-key hydrogen-bonding networks between 2, 7-dinitropyrene-4, 5, 9, 10-tetraone (DNPT) and NH4 + charge carrier. DNPT with octuple-active carbonyl/nitro centers (H-bond acceptor) are redox-exclusively accessible for flexible tetrahedral NH4 + ions (H-bond donator) but exclude larger and rigid Zn2+ , due to a lower activation energy (0.14 vs. 0.31 eV). NH4 + coordinated H-bonding chemistry conquers the stability barrier of DNPT in electrolyte, and gives fast diffusion kinetics of non-metallic charge carrier. A stable two-step 4e- NH4 + coordination with DNPT cathode harvests a high capacity (320 mAh g-1 ), a high-rate capability (50 A g-1 ) and an ultralong life (60,000 cycles). This finding points to a new paradigm for H-bond stabilized organic small molecules to design advanced zinc batteries.
