Abstract
In aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs), the insertion/extraction chemistry of Al3+ often leads to poor kinetics, whereas the rapid diffusion kinetics of hydronium ions (H3O+) may offer the solution. However, the presence of considerable Al3+ in the electrolyte hinders the insertion reaction of H3O+. Herein, we report how oxygen-deficient α-MoO3 nanosheets unlock selective H3O+ insertion in a mild aluminum-ion electrolyte. The abundant oxygen defects impede the insertion of Al3+ due to excessively strong adsorption, while allowing H3O+ to be inserted/diffused through the Grotthuss proton conduction mechanism. This research advances our understanding of the mechanism behind selective H3O+ insertion in mild electrolytes.

Symmetrical Design of Biphenazine Derivative Anode for Proton Ion Batteries with High Voltage and Long-Term Cycle Stability. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2401314.

Abstract
Organic anodes have emerged as a promising energy storage medium in proton ion batteries (PrIBs) due to their ability to reversibly accommodate non-metallic proton ions. Nevertheless, the currently available organic electrodes often encounter dissolution issues, leading to a decrease in long-cycle stability. In addition, the inherent potential of the organic anode is generally relatively high, resulting in low cell voltage of assembled PrIBs (<1.0 V). To address these challenges, a novel long-period stable, low redox potential biphenylzine derivative, [2,2'-biphenazine]-7,7'-tetraol (BPZT) is explored, from the perspective of molecular symmetry and solubility, in conjunction with the effect of the molecular frontier orbital energy levels on its redox potential. Specifically, BPZT exhibited a low potential of 0.29 V (vs SHE) and is virtually insoluble in 2 m H2SO4 electrolyte during cycling. When paired with MnO2@GF or PbO2 cathodes, the resulting PrIBs achieve cell voltages of 1.07 V or 1.44 V, respectively, and maintain a high capacity retention of 90% over 20000 cycles. Additionally, these full batteries can operate stably at a high mass loading of 10 mgBPZT cm-2, highlighting their potential toward long-term energy storage applications.

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
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have gained significant attentions for their inherent safety and cost-effectiveness. However, challenges, such as dendrite growth and anodic corrosion at the Zn anode, hinder their commercial viability. In this paper, an organic-inorganic coating layer (Nafion-TiO2) was introduced to protect the Zn anode and electrolyte interface. Briefly, Nafion effectively shields against the corrosion from water molecules through the hydrophobic wall of -CF3 and guided zinc deposition from the -SO3 functional group, while TiO2 particles with a higher Young's modulus (151 GPa vs 120 GPa from Zn metal) suppress the zinc dendrite formation. As a result, with the protection of Nafion-TiO2, the symmetrical Zn∥Zn battery shows an improved cycle life of 1,750 h at 0.5 mA cm-2, and the full cell based on Zn∥MnO2 shows a long cycle life over 1,500 cycles at 1 A g-1. Our research offers a novel approach for protecting zinc metal anodes, potentially applicable to other metal anodes such as those in lithium and sodium batteries.

Abstract
Hydrogen therapy shows great promise as a versatile treatment method for diseases associated with the overexpression of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). However, developing an advanced hydrogen therapy platform that integrates controllable hydrogen release, efficient RONS elimination, and biodegradability remains a giant technical challenge. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the tungsten bronze phase H0.53WO3 (HWO) is an exceptionally ideal hydrogen carrier, with salient features including temperature-dependent highly-reductive atomic hydrogen release and broad-spectrum RONS scavenging capability distinct from that of molecular hydrogen. Moreover, its unique pH-responsive biodegradability ensures post-therapeutic clearance at pathological sites. Treatment with HWO of diabetic wounds in an animal model indicates that the solid-state atomic H promotes vascular formation by activating M2-type macrophage polarization and anti-inflammatory cytokine production, resulting in acceleration of chronic wound healing. Our findings significantly expand the basic categories of hydrogen therapeutic materials and pave the way for investigating more physical forms of hydrogen species as efficient RONS scavengers for clinical disease treatment.

Abstract
Aqueous batteries are emerging as highly promising contenders for large-scale grid energy storage because of uncomplicated assembly, exceptional safety, and cost-effectiveness. The unique aqueous electrolyte with a rich hydrogen bond (HB) environment inevitably has a significant impact on the electrode materials and electrochemical processes. While numerous reviews have focused on the materials design and assembly of aqueous batteries, the utilization of HB chemistry is overlooked. Herein, instead of merely compiling recent advancements, this review presents a comprehensive summary and analysis of the profound implication exerted by HB on all components of the aqueous batteries. Intricate links between the novel HB chemistry and various aqueous batteries are ingeniously constructed within the critical aspects, such as self-discharge, structural stability of electrode materials, pulverization, solvation structures, charge carrier diffusion, corrosion reactions, pH sensitivity, water splitting, polysulfides shuttle, and H2 S evolution. By adopting a vantage point that encompasses material design, binder and separator functionalization, electrolyte regulation, and HB optimization, a critical examination of the key factors that impede electrochemical performance in diverse aqueous batteries is conducted. Finally, insights are rendered properly based on HB chemistry, with the aim of propelling the advancement of state-of-the-art aqueous batteries.

Abstract
The aqueous micro batteries (AMBs) are expected to be one of the most promising micro energy storage devices for its safe operation and cost-effectiveness. However, the performance of the AMBs is not satisfactory, which is attributed to strong interaction between metal ions and the electrode materials. Here, the first AMBs are developed with NH4 + as charge carrier. More importantly, to solve the low conductivity and the dissolution during the NH4 + intercalation/extraction problem of perylene material represented by perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA), the Ti3 C2 Tx MXene with high conductivity and polar surface terminals is introduced as a conductive skeleton (PTCDA/Ti3 C2 Tx MXene). Benefitting from this, the PTCDA/Ti3 C2 Tx MXene electrodes exhibit ultra-high cycle life and rate capability (74.31% after 10 000 galvanostatic chargedischarge (GCD) cycles, and 91.67 mAh g-1 at 15.0 A g-1 , i.e., capacity retention of 45.2% for a 30-fold increase in current density). More significantly, the AMBs with NH4 + as charge carrier and PTCDA/Ti3 C2 Tx MXene anode provide excellent energy density and power density, cycle life, and flexibility. This work will provide strategy for the development of NH4 + storage materials and the design of AMBs.

Abstract
Aqueous proton battery is considered as a promising candidate for the electrochemical energy storage system with the merits of safety, environmental benignity, fast kinetics and low cost. The realization of these advantages relies on the development of suitable and easy-access electrode materials. Herein, micron-sized H2MoO3/Polyaniline (PANI) is developed as a high-rate and stable anode material in proton battery. Contrary to the pseudocapacitive nature of most anode materials, the H2MoO3/PANI presents diffusion-controlled charge storage mechanism with both high capacity and high rate-capability. The H2MoO3/PANI electrode shows a rather high capacity of 268.2 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1, and a surprisingly high rate-capability with ∼50% capacity retention even at an extremely high current density of 200.0 A g-1. Detailed analyses demonstrate the Grotthuss mechanism of ultrafast proton conduction in H2MoO3/PANI. The constructed proton full cell based on H2MoO3/PANI delivers a high energy density of 42.1 Wh kg-1 at 800.0 W kg-1. Impressively, the proton full cell shows fast proton transportation even in the frozen electrolyte, and ∼70% of the room temperature capacity is retained at -20 °C. These excellent proton storage behaviors provide insights into the practical applications of micron-sized electrode materials in proton batteries at low temperatures.

Pressure-Regulated Nanoconfined Channels for Highly Effective Mechanical-Electrical Conversion in Proton Battery-Type Self-Powered Pressure Sensor. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2308795.

Abstract
Battery-sensing-based all-in-one pressure sensors are generally successfully constructed by mimicking the information transfer of living organisms and the sensing behavior of human skin, possessing features such as low energy consumption and detection of low/high-frequency mechanical signals. To design high-performance all-in-one pressure sensors, a deeper understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms of such sensors is required. Here, a mechanical-electrical conversion mechanism based on pressure-modulated nanoconfined channels is proposed. Then, the mechanism of ion accelerated transport in graphene oxide (GO) nanoconfined channels under pressure is revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Based on this mechanism, a proton battery-type self-powered pressure sensor MoO3 /GO[CNF/Ca] /activated carbon (AC) is designed with an open-circuit voltage stabilization of 0.648 V, an ultrafast response/recovery time of 86.0 ms/93.0 ms, pressure detection ranges of up to 60.0 kPa, and excellent static/dynamic pressure response. In addition, the one-piece device design enables self-supply, miniaturization, and charge/discharge reuse, showing application potential in wearable electronics, health monitoring, and other fields.

Abstract
Hydronium-ion batteries have received significant attention owing to the merits of extraordinary sustainability and excellent rate abilities. However, achieving high-performance hydronium-ion batteries remains a challenge due to the inferior properties of anode materials in strong acid electrolyte. Herein, a hydronium-ion battery is constructed which is based on a diquinoxalino [2,3-a:2',3'-c] phenazine (HATN) anode and a MnO2 @graphite felt cathode in a hybrid acidic electrolyte. The fast kinetics of hydronium-ion insertion/extraction into HATN electrode endows the HATN//MnO2 @GF battery with enhanced electrochemical performance. This battery exhibits an excellent rate performance (266 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 , 97 mAh g-1 at 50 A g-1 ), attractive energy density (182.1 Wh kg-1 ) and power density (31.2 kW kg-1 ), along with long-term cycle stability. These results shed light on the development of advanced hydronium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Electrochemical proton storage plays an essential role in designing next-generation high-rate energy storage devices, e.g., aqueous batteries. Two-dimensional conjugated covalent organic frameworks (2D c-COFs) are promising electrode materials, but their competitive proton and metal-ion insertion mechanisms remain elusive, and proton storage in COFs is rarely explored. Here, we report a perinone-based poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline) (BBL)-ladder-type 2D c-COF for fast proton storage in both a mild aqueous Zn-ion electrolyte and strong acid. We unveil that the discharged C-O- groups exhibit largely reduced basicity due to the considerable π-delocalization in perinone, thus affording the 2D c-COF a unique affinity for protons with fast kinetics. As a consequence, the 2D c-COF electrode presents an outstanding rate capability of up to 200 A g-1 (over 2500 C), surpassing the state-of-the-art conjugated polymers, COFs, and metal-organic frameworks. Our work reports the first example of pure proton storage among COFs and highlights the great potential of BBL-ladder-type 2D conjugated polymers in future energy devices.

Abstract
A great deal of attention has been paid on layered manganese dioxide (δ-MnO2 ) as promising cathode candidate for aqueous zinc-ion battery (ZIB) due to the excellent theoretical capacity, high working voltage and Zn2+ /H+ co-intercalation mechanism. However, caused by the insertion of Zn2+ , the strong coulomb interaction and sluggish diffusion kinetics have resulted in significant structure deformation, insufficient cycle stability and limited rate capability. And it is still far from satisfactory to accurately modulate H+ intercalation for superior electrochemical kinetics. Herein, the terrace-shape δ-MnO2 hybrid superlattice by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) pre-intercalation (PVP-MnO2 ) was proposed with the state-of-the-art ZIBs performance. Local atomic structure characterization and theoretical calculations have been pioneering in confirming the hybrid superlattice-triggered synergy of electron entropy stimulation and selective H+ Grotthuss intercalation. Accordingly, PVP-MnO2 hybrid superlattice exhibits prominent specific capacity (317.2 mAh g-1 at 0.125 A g-1 ), significant rate performance (106.1 mAh g-1 at 12.5 A g-1 ), and remarkable cycle stability at high rate (≈100 % capacity retention after 20,000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ). Therefore, rational design of interlayer configuration paves the pathways to the development of MnO2 superlattice for advanced Zn-MnO2 batteries.

Abstract
Benefiting from the merits of low cost, nonflammability, and high operational safety, aqueous rechargeable batteries have emerged as promising candidates for large-scale energy-storage applications. Among various metal-ion/non-metallic charge carriers, the proton (H+ ) as a charge carrier possesses numerous unique properties such as fast proton diffusion dynamics, a low molar mass, and a small hydrated ion radius, which endow aqueous proton batteries (APBs) with a salient rate capability, a long-term life span, and an excellent low-temperature electrochemical performance. In addition, redox-active organic molecules, with the advantages of structural diversity, rich proton-storage sites, and abundant resources, are considered attractive electrode materials for APBs. However, the charge-storage and transport mechanisms of organic electrodes in APBs are still in their infancy. Therefore, finding suitable electrode materials and uncovering the H+ -storage mechanisms are significant for the application of organic materials in APBs. Herein, the latest research progress on organic materials, such as small molecules and polymers for APBs, is reviewed. Furthermore, a comprehensive summary and evaluation of APBs employing organic electrodes as anode and/or cathode is provided, especially regarding their low-temperature and high-power performances, along with systematic discussions for guiding the rational design and the construction of APBs based on organic electrodes.

Abstract
The α-molybdenum trioxide has attracted much attention for proton storage owing to its easily modified bilayer structure, fast proton insertion kinetics, and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the fundamental science of the proton insertion mechanism in α-molybdenum trioxide has not been fully understood. Herein, we uncover a three-proton intercalation mechanism in α-molybdenum trioxide using a specially designed phosphoric acid based liquid crystalline electrolyte. The semiconductor-to-metal transition behavior and the expansion of the lattice interlayers of α-molybdenum trioxide after trapping one mole of protons are verified experimentally and theoretically. Further investigation of the morphology of α-molybdenum trioxide indicates its fracture behavior upon the proton intercalation process, which creates diffusion channels for hydronium ions. Notably, the observation of an additional redox behavior at low potential endows α-molybdenum trioxide with an improved specific discharge capacity of 362 mAh g-1.

Abstract
The design of Faradaic battery electrodes with high rate capability and long cycle life comparable to those of supercapacitors is a grand challenge. Here, we bridge this performance gap by taking advantage of a unique ultrafast proton conduction mechanism in vanadium oxide electrode, developing an aqueous battery with untrahigh rate capability up to 1000 C (400 A g-1) and extremely long life of 0.2 million cycles. The mechanism is elucidated by comprehensive experimental and theoretical results. Instead of slow individual Zn2+ transfer or Grotthuss chain transfer of confined H+, the ultrafast kinetics and excellent cyclic stability are enabled by rapid 3D proton transfer in vanadium oxide via the special pair dance switching between Eigen and Zundel configurations with little constraint and low energy barriers. This work provides insight into developing high-power and long-life electrochemical energy storage devices with nonmetal ion transfer through special pair dance topochemistry dictated by hydrogen bond.

Abstract
With fast (de)coordination kinetics, the smallest and the lightest proton stands out as the most ideal charge carrier for aqueous Zn-organic batteries (ZOBs). Hydrogen-bonding networks with rapid Grotthuss proton conduction is particularly suitable for organic cathodes, yet not reported. We report the supramolecular self-assembly of cyanuric acid and 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine into organic superstructures through in-plane H-bonds and out-of-plane π-π interaction. The supramolecular superstructures exhibit highly stable lock-and-key H-bonding networks with an ultralow activation energy for protonation (0.09 eV vs. 0.25 eV of zincification). Then, high-kinetics H+ coordination is prior to Zn2+ into protophilic C=O sites via a two-step nine-electron reaction. The assembled ZOBs show high-rate capability (135 mAh g-1 at 150 A g-1 ), high energy density (267 Wh kg-1 cathode ) and ultra-long life (50 000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ), becoming the state-of-the-art ZOBs in comprehensive performances.

Abstract
The layered MnO2 is intensively investigated as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), but its commercialization is severely impeded by the challenging issues of the inferior intrinsic electronic conductivity and undesirable structural stability during the charge-discharge cycles. Herein, the lab-prepared flexible carbon membrane with highly electrical conductivity is first used as the matrix to generate ultrathin δ-MnO2 with an enlarged interlayer spacing induced by the K+ -intercalation to potentially alleviate the structural damage caused by H+ /Zn2+ co-intercalation, resulting in a high reversible capacity of 190 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1 over 1000 cycles. The in situ/ex-situ characterizations and electrochemical analysis confirm that the enlarged interlayer spacing can provide free space for the reversible deintercalation/intercalation of H+ /Zn2+ in the structure of δ-MnO2 , and H+ /Zn2+ co-intercalation mechanism contributes to the enhanced charge storage in the layered K+ -intercalated δ-MnO2 . This work provides a plausible way to construct a flexible carbon membrane-based cathode for high-performance AZIBs.
