CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202301818. [PMID: 38566411 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202301818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
With the growing demand for new energy storage devices, rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted widespread attention due to their low cost and high safety. Among the cathode materials for ZIBs, polyanionic-based cathode materials with high voltage, high stability, and low cost have great potential. In this paper, tetragonal Na2VOP2O7 was prepared using a simple sol-gel method. The discharge platform voltage amounted to 1.8 V and had good rate and cycle performance due to the inductive effect of pyrophosphate. Then, a protective layer of Zn-hydroxyapatite (ZnHAP) modification was applied to the cathode surface, which can inhibit the hydrolysis of vanadium ions. The capacity was enhanced by 19 % after modification and the capacity retention after 100 cycles was also higher. Interestingly, the Na2VOP2O7 cathode also possesses a self-charging effect, recovering to 48 % of its initial capacity with an open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.1 V within a certain period, and light exposure can reduce the self-charging time by 83 %. These beneficial results indicate that the pyrophosphate bifunctional cathode with inductive effect has a great potential to construct high-voltage and multifunctional zinc ion battery.

Abstract
Many transition metal complexes have been explored for their therapeutic properties after the discovery of cisplatin. Schiff bases have an efficient complexation tendency with the transition metals and several medicinal properties have been reported. However, fewer studies have reported the medicinal utility of vanadium and its Schiff base complexes. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of vanadium complexes with Schiff bases along with their mechanistic insight. Vanadium complexes in + 4 and + 5 oxidation states have exhibited well-defined geometry and found to be thermodynamically stable. The studies have reported the G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest and decreased delta psi m, inducing mitochondrial membrane depolarization in cancer cell lines along with the alterations in the metabolism of the cancer cells upon dosing with the vanadium complexes. Cancer cell invasion and growth are also found to be markedly reduced by peroxo complexes of vanadium. The studies included in the review paper have been taken from leading indexing databases and focus was laid on recent reports in literature. The biological potential of vanadium complexes of Schiff bases opens new horizons for future interdisciplinary studies and investigation focussed on understanding the biochemistry of these complexes, along with designing new complexes which have better bioavailability, solubility and low or non-toxicity.

Abstract
A vanadium flow battery (VFB) is one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage technologies. However, membranes for VFBs still suffer from high cost or low conductivity and poor stability. Here, we report new quaternized anthrone-containing poly(aryl ether ketone) (QAnPEK) membranes for VFBs. QAnPEK membranes with moderate ion exchange capacity (1.26 mmol g-1) were swelling-induced in H3PO4 (50 wt %) to form wider ion transport pathways that significantly enhanced membrane conductivity (e.g., 0.49 Ω cm2 for the QAnPEK-virgin membrane and 0.12 Ω cm2 for the swelling-induced QAnPEK-90 membrane). The bulky rigid anthrone-containing backbone provided high swelling resistance and enabled QAnPEK membranes to have high ion selectivity. As a result, QAnPEK membranes displayed low area resistance, high ion selectivity, and robust mechanical strength. The QAnPEK-90 membrane yielded excellent energy efficiencies (92.4% at 80 mA cm-2, 85.1% at 200 mA cm-2, and 80.3% at 280 mA cm-2). Moreover, QAnPEK membranes exhibited outstanding in situ and ex situ stability, for example, the VFB with the QAnPEK-40 membrane demonstrated highly stable battery performance for 3000 cycles at 160 mA cm-2. QAnPEK membranes are attractive candidates for VFB application.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been considered an easily accessible battery technology because of their low weight, cheapness, etc. Unfortunately, they have significant drawbacks, such as flammability and scarcity of lithium. Since the components of zinc-ion batteries are nonflammable, nontoxic, and cheap, AZIBs could be a suitable replacement for LIBs. In this article, the advantages and drawbacks of AZIBs over other energy storage devices are briefly discussed. This review focused on the cathode materials and electrolytes for AZIBs. In addition, we discussed the approaches to improve the electrochemical performance of zinc batteries. Here, we also discussed the polymer gel electrolytes and the electrodes for flexible zinc-ion batteries (FZIBs). Moreover, we have outlined the importance of temperature and additives in a flexible zinc-ion battery. Finally, we have discussed anode materials for both AZIBs and FZIBs. This review has summarized the advantages and disadvantages of AZIBs and FZIBs for future applications in commercial battery technology.

Abstract
A key bottleneck to society's transition to renewable energy is the lack of cost-effective energy storage systems. Hydrogen-bromine redox flow batteries are seen as a promising solution, due to the use of low-cost reactants and highly conductive electrolytes, but market penetration is prevented due to high capital costs, for example due to costly membranes to prevent bromine crossover. Membraneless hydrogen-bromine cells relying on colaminar flows have thus been investigated, showing high power density nearing 1 W/cm2. However, no detailed breakdown of resistance losses has been performed to-date, a knowledge gap which impedes further progress. Here, we characterize such a battery, showing the main sources of loss are the porous cathode, due to both Faradaic and Ohmic losses, followed by Ohmic losses in the electrolyte channel, with all other sources relatively minor contributors. We further develop and fit analytical expressions for the impedance of porous electrodes in high power density electrochemical cells to impedance measurements from our battery, which enabled the detailed cell resistance breakdown and determination of important electrode parameters such as volumetric exchange current density and specific capacitance. The insights developed here will enable improved engineering designs to unlock exceptionally high-power density membraneless flow batteries.

Abstract
The all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is becoming a promising technology for large-scale energy storage due to its advantages such as scalability and flexibility. In recent years, the VRFB has been successfully developed and put into use in many countries. It is expected that the abandoned VRFB will generate a large amount of vanadium waste. To our knowledge, there are few reports on the disposal of spent VRFBs. Herein, chitosan-coated nano-zero-valent iron (CS-Fe0) is proposed for the first time as adsorbents for the treatment of spent VRFBs. It can provide a new approach to deal with the upcoming large number of spent VRFBs. The calculated maximum adsorption capacity for V(V) of chitosan and CS-Fe0 reached 209.5 and 511.3 mg/g at 288 K, respectively. CS-Fe0 showed better adsorption performance than chitosan under different pH conditions and is easy to be separated from the liquid phase. The Freundlich isotherm was suitable for the adsorption process of chitosan, and CS-Fe0 was more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm. Ionic strength (0.05-0.5 M) had a positive effect on the adsorption capacity of CS-Fe0, and the influence of coexisting anions on CS-Fe0 could be negligible. FTIR and XPS analyses revealed that the primary mechanisms were the electrostatic attraction of chitosan and redox of Fe0. The present study confirmed that CS-Fe0 could be a potential material to efficiently trap V(V) from the VRFB electrolyte.

Abstract
Nonaqueous redox flow batteries (NARFBs) have promise for large-scale energy storage with high energy density. Developing advanced active materials is of paramount importance to achieve high stability and energy density. Herein, we adopt the molecular engineering strategy by coupling tetraalkylammonium and an ethylene glycol ether side chain to design anthraquinone-based ionic active species. By adjusting the length of the ethylene glycol ether chain, an ionic active species 2-((9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracen-1-yl)amino)-N-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)-(N,N-dimethylethan-1-aminium)-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (AQEG2TFSI) with high solubility and stability is obtained. Paired with a FcNTFSI cathode, the full battery provides an impressive cycling performance with discharge capacity retentions of 99.96% and 99.74% per cycle over 100 cycles with 0.1 and 0.4 M AQEG2TFSI, respectively.

Abstract
In the context of global warming, clean energy represented by fuel cells has ushered in a window period of rapid development; however, most research mainly focuses on the improvement of catalysts and performance, and there is very little research on the performance differences and energy consumption between different oxidants. In this paper, the performance differences of fuel cells with different oxidants (air and oxygen) are studied using a self-made CCM, and the economic aspect is calculated from the perspective of power improvement and energy consumption. Firstly, the CCM and GDL are prepared, and the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of GDL are realized by the addition of PTFE and SiO2, respectively. Secondly, through the experiment, it is found that the fuel cell can achieve the best comprehensive performance at 60 °C, and the use of oxygen can achieve the highest power increase, 117.1%, compared with air. Finally, from the perspective of economics, after excluding the power consumed for preparing oxygen, the use of oxygen as an oxidant still achieved a net power increase of 29.512%. The research in this paper clearly shows that using oxygen instead of air can greatly improve performance and is good economically, which makes it a useful exploration for the research of fuel cells.

Abstract
The development of high-power density vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) with high energy efficiencies (EEs) is crucial for the widespread dissemination of this energy storage technology. In this work, we report the production of novel hierarchical carbonaceous nanomaterials for VRFB electrodes with high catalytic activity toward the vanadium redox reactions (VO2+/VO2 + and V2+/V3+). The electrode materials are produced through a rapid (minute timescale) low-pressure combined gas plasma treatment of graphite felts (GFs) in an inductively coupled radio frequency reactor. By systematically studying the effects of either pure gases (O2 and N2) or their combination at different gas plasma pressures, the electrodes are optimized to reduce their kinetic polarization for the VRFB redox reactions. To further enhance the catalytic surface area of the electrodes, single-/few-layer graphene, produced by highly scalable wet-jet milling exfoliation of graphite, is incorporated into the GFs through an infiltration method in the presence of a polymeric binder. Depending on the thickness of the proton-exchange membrane (Nafion 115 or Nafion XL), our optimized VRFB configurations can efficiently operate within a wide range of charge/discharge current densities, exhibiting energy efficiencies up to 93.9%, 90.8%, 88.3%, 85.6%, 77.6%, and 69.5% at 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, and 300 mA cm-2, respectively. Our technology is cost-competitive when compared to commercial ones (additional electrode costs < 100 € m-2) and shows EEs rivalling the record-high values reported for efficient systems to date. Our work remarks on the importance to study modified plasma conditions or plasma methods alternative to those reported previously (e.g., atmospheric plasmas) to improve further the electrode performances of the current VRFB systems.

Abstract
Aqueous organic flow batteries have attracted dramatic attention for stationary energy storage due to their resource sustainability and low cost. However, the current reported systems can normally be operated stably under a nitrogen or argon atmosphere due to their poor stability. Herein a stable air-insensitive biphenol derivative cathode, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylaminemethylene-4,4'-biphenol (TABP), with high solubility (>1.5 mol L-1) and redox potential (0.91 V vs. SHE) is designed and synthesized by a scalable one-step method. Paring with silicotungstic acid (SWO), an SWO/TABP flow battery shows a stable performance of zero capacity decay over 900 cycles under the air atmosphere. Further, an SWO/TABP flow battery manifests a high rate performance with an energy efficiency of 85% at a current density of 60 mA cm-2 and a very high volumetric capacity of more than 47 Ah L-1. This work provides a new and practical option for next-generation practical large-scale energy storage.

Abstract
The elaborate spatial arrangement and immobilization of highly active electrocatalysts inside porous substrates are crucial for vanadium redox flow batteries capable of high-rate charging/discharging and stable operation. Herein, a type of bismuth nanosphere/carbon felt is devised and fabricated via the carbothermic reduction of nanostructured bismuth oxides. The bismuth nanospheres with sizes of ≈25 nm are distributed on carbon fiber surfaces in a highly dispersed manner and its density reaches up to ≈500 pcs µm-2 , providing abundant active sites. Besides, a unique bismuth nanosphere semi-embedded carbon fiber structure with strong interfacial BiC chemical bonding is spontaneously formed during carbothermic reactions, offering an excellent mechanical stability under flowing electrolytes. It shows that the bismuth nanosphere semi-embedded carbon felt can effectively promote V(II)/V(III) redox reactions with appreciable catalytic activity. The battery with the present electrode sustains an energy efficiency of 77.1 ± 0.2% and an electrolyte utilization of 57.2 ± 0.2% even when a current density up to 480 mA cm-2 is applied, which are remarkably higher than those of batteries with the bismuth nanoparticle/carbon felt synthesized by the electrodeposition method (62.6 ± 0.1%, 23.6 ± 0.2%). Further, the battery with the present electrode demonstrates a stable energy efficiency retention of 98.2% after 1000 cycles.

Abstract
To solve the stability issue of cost-effective nonfluorinated membranes, an ether-free poly(arylene piperidinium) (PBPip)-based membrane is first applied in redox flow batteries (RFBs). For improved efficiencies of RFB, amphoteric side chains are introduced onto the PBPip. Without an ether bond in the polymer backbone, the membrane shows a good stability in a strong oxidation environment. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra exhibit no obvious changes over 30 days of oxidation test. Different from traditional blended amphoteric membranes, the amphoteric side chain allows both cation- and anion-exchange capacities to increase with grafting degree, which leads to a very high total ion-exchange capacity (IEC) (4.19 mmol g-1). Outstanding ion-conduction ability (area resistance: 0.22 Ω cm2) comparable to Nafion 212 (0.24 Ω cm2) is consequently achieved. Ionic cross-linking structure between cationic and anionic groups results in a low swelling rate (13.9%). Combined with the repelling effect of positively charged piperidinium, a low VO2+ permeability (1.31 × 10-8 cm2 s-1) is accomplished. On the basis of these good properties, the membrane exhibits excellent vanadium battery performances, especially at high current densities. The VE and EE both exceed 80% even at 200 mA cm-2. The battery performances have no obvious reductions after 500 cycles. These results indicate that this work provides a new orientation to design the membrane for RFB.

Abstract
We present a mechanistic understanding of the full redox electrochemistry of V(V)-V(IV)-V(III)-V(II) and the origin of the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during electroreduction of either V3+ or VO2+ in a highly concentrated mixed acidic solution based on both electroanalytical and computational approaches. First, we found that the VO2+/VO2+ redox reaction is well explained by the EC/EC square scheme. We also found that V3+ is electrochemically oxidized to V4+ and subsequently undergoes a transition to stable VO2+ via hydrolysis. In the V3+/V2+ redox reaction via voltammetric analysis at scan rates greater than 0.05 V/s, the voltammograms are well explained based on a simple 1e- transfer reaction scheme. However, at the longer time scale observed in the chronoamperograms with constantly applied potentials where V3+ is electrochemically reduced to V2+, we found that a significant HER occurs because of possible formation of an electrocatalyst related to the V(II)O species, V(II)catalyst. We suggest that V(II)O is kinetically formed from V2+ via hydrolysis only when a local concentration of V2+ is high in the vicinity of a GC electrode surface, and V(II)O is adsorbed on a GC surface to form V(II)catalyst. To extend our mechanistic pathway, electroreduction of VO2+ to V(II) was also analyzed, revealing that VO2+ is electroreduced to VO+ and further reduced to VO in addition to disproportionation of VO+. Eventually, V(II)catalyst forms on a GC electrode, resulting in a significant HER. The computational calculation strongly supports the possible formation of V(II)catalyst. The calculation shows that neither V3+ nor V2+ can form stable intermediates during the HER, while V(II)O has the highest proton affinity compared with V(III)O+ and V(IV)O2+, indicating a plausible electrocatalytic property of V(II)O for the HER.

Abstract
The use of low-cost hydrocarbon membranes in vanadium flow batteries (VFBs) still remains a great challenge because of the strong oxidation of VO2+ catholyte and rapid capacity fading. Here, we report a bilayer design strategy using an antioxidant and dense cross-linked sulfonated polyimide (cSPI) layer as a protective layer for a sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membrane to shield catholyte degradation and mitigate electrolyte crossover. A scalable process is developed to fabricate an integrated bilayer SPEEK/cSPI membrane without delamination by spraying a SPEEK transition layer between the two polymers. The tightly bridged cSPI layer not only protects the SPEEK membrane from degradation but also enhances its mechanical strength, puncture resistance, and proton/vanadium-ion selectivity. When assembled in a VFB, the bilayer SPEEK/cSPI membrane demonstrates excellent rate performance under current densities of 40-200 mA cm-2, high adaptability at a wide temperature range of -15 to 60 °C, very slow capacity decay rate of 0.054% per cycle at 160 mA cm-2, and a maximum power density of 480 mW cm-2. These merits make the bilayer SPEEK/cSPI membrane a promising candidate for the next-generation VFB to achieve low-cost, high-rate, and all-climate energy storage.

Abstract
Vanadium compounds have been primarily investigated as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of various major health issues, including cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. The translation of vanadium-based compounds into clinical trials and ultimately into disease treatments remains hampered by the absence of a basic pharmacological and metabolic comprehension of such compounds. In this review, we examine the development of vanadium-containing compounds in biological systems regarding the role of the physiological environment, dosage, intracellular interactions, metabolic transformations, modulation of signaling pathways, toxicology, and transport and tissue distribution as well as therapeutic implications. From our point of view, the toxicological and pharmacological aspects in animal models and humans are not understood completely, and thus, we introduced them in a physiological environment and dosage context. Different transport proteins in blood plasma and mechanistic transport determinants are discussed. Furthermore, an overview of different vanadium species and the role of physiological factors (i.e., pH, redox conditions, concentration, and so on) are considered. Mechanistic specifications about different signaling pathways are discussed, particularly the phosphatases and kinases that are modulated dynamically by vanadium compounds because until now, the focus only has been on protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B as a vanadium target. Particular emphasis is laid on the therapeutic ability of vanadium-based compounds and their role for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, specifically on that of vanadate- and polioxovanadate-containing compounds. We aim at shedding light on the prevailing gaps between primary scientific data and information from animal models and human studies.

Abstract
In this study, 1.6 M vanadium electrolytes in the oxidation forms V(III) and V(V) were prepared from V(IV) in sulfuric (4.7 M total sulphate), V(IV) in hydrochloric (6.1 M total chloride) acids, as well as from 1:1 mol mixture of V(III) and V(IV) (denoted as V3.5+) in hydrochloric (7.6 M total chloride) acid. These electrolyte solutions were investigated in terms of performance in vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). The half-wave potentials of the V(III)/V(II) and V(V)/V(IV) couples, determined by cyclic voltammetry, and the electronic spectra of V(III) and V(IV) electrolyte samples, are discussed to reveal the effect of electrolyte matrix on charge-discharge behavior of a 40 cm2 cell operated with 1.6 M V3.5+ electrolytes in sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. Provided that the total vanadium concentration and the conductivity of electrolytes are comparable for both acids, respective energy efficiencies of 77% and 72–75% were attained at a current density of 50 mA∙cm−2. All electrolytes in the oxidation state V(V) were examined for chemical stability at room temperature and +45 °C by titrimetric determination of the molar ratio V(V):V(IV) and total vanadium concentration.

Abstract
Novel poly(phthalazinone ether ketone)-based amphoteric ion exchange membranes with improved ion selectivity, stability and water transport resistance were prepared for vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) applications. The preparation method ensured the absence of electrostatic interaction. A small amount of sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) (SPPEK) with different ion exchange capacity (IEC) values was mixed with brominated poly(phthalazinone ether ketone) (BPPEK) to prepare base membranes with the solution casting method, and they were aminated in trimethylamine to obtain the resulting membranes (Q/S-x, x represents the IEC value of SPPEK). Compared with the AEM counterpart (QBPPEK) prepared from the amination of the BPPEK membrane, Q/S-1.37 showed lower swelling ratio and area resistance (R). The R value of Q/S-1.37 (0.58 Ω cm2) was close to that of Nafion115. The VO2+ and V3+ permeability values of Q/S-x were 96.7–97.6% and 98.5–99.2% less than those of Nafion115, respectively, demonstrating the excellent ion selectivity of Q/S-x. Compared with Nafion115 and QBPPEK, Q/S-1.37 displayed 90.0% and 92.1% decrease in the static water transport volume and 93.2% and 66.7% decrease in the cycling transport rate, respectively, revealing good water transport resistance. Compared with Nafion115, Q/S-1.37 exhibited an increase of 1.0–5.7% in the coulombic efficiency (CE) and an increase of 2.5–8.7% in the energy efficiency (EE) at 20–200 mA cm−2. Q/S-x showed better chemical stability in VO2+ solutions than QBPPEK. VRB with Q/S-1.37 could be steadily operated for 400 h without sudden capacity and efficiency drop, while VRB with QBPPEK could hold for only around 250 h. Q/S-1.37 retained higher CE, EE and capacity retention than Nafion115, displaying good long-term stability. Thus, the Q/S-x are promising for use in commercial VRBs. Novel AIEMs were prepared through successive blending and amination processes, and they exhibited good ion selectivity, stability and water transport resistance.![]()

Abstract
Catalytic efficiency is a crucial index for electrodes in flow batteries, and tremendous efforts have been devoted to exploring catalysts with as many reaction zones as possible. Nevertheless, the space between the reaction sites, especially for interstitial space utilization, is usually ignored and challengeable to exploit owing to the balance between the catalytic efficiency and structural stability. Herein, a three-dimensional conducting network was constructed via a nitrogen-rich carbon film-bridged graphite felt framework (GF@N-C) to maximize its electrocatalytic effectiveness toward redox species. As the electrode, GF@N-C exhibits a superior rate constant and catalytic efficiency at 370 mA cm-2 and enables the vanadium redox flow battery to operate steadily at 200 mA cm-2 with an energy efficiency of 74.3% and a discharge specific capacity of 23 A h L-1. It is anticipated that the conducting network with optimized space utilization and catalysis will provide guidance for the design of high-efficiency electrodes and advance their development in flow batteries.

Abstract
An acid pretreatment strategy is developed to enhance the proton transport of polysulfone-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PSF-PVP) membranes for application in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB). The acid pretreatment leads to the formation of ionic conducting clusters with a size of around d=15.41 nm in the membrane (p-PSF-PVP). As a result, the proton conductivity and proton/vanadium ion selectivity of the p-PSF-PVP membrane increases to 6.60×10-2 S cm-1 and 10.63×107 S min cm-3 , respectively, values significantly higher than 2.30×10-2 S cm-1 and 6.67×107 S min cm-3 of the pristine PSF-PVP membrane. Moreover, a VRFB assembled with the p-PSF-PVP membrane exhibits a high coulombic efficiency of 98.6 % and an outstanding energy efficiency of 88.5 %. The results indicate that treatment with either sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid leads to an improvement of membrane properties, and the acid pretreatment is a promising strategy to significantly enhance the performance of the PSF-PVP membrane for VRFB application.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been applied as catalysts in the VO2+/VO2+ redox, whereas the mechanism of CNTs for the redox reaction is still unclear. In this work, the mechanism of the VO2+/VO2+ redox is investigated by comparing the electrocatalytic performance of CNTs with different distributions. For different CNTs, the peak current density of the VO2+/VO2+ redox increases with increasing content of oxygen-functional groups on the surface of CNTs, especially the carboxyl group which is proved as active sites for the redox reaction. Moreover, the reversibility of the VO2+/VO2+ redox decreases with increasing defects of CNTs, as the defects affect the charge transfer of the catalytic reaction. Nevertheless, when a multi-walled CNT sample is oxidized to achieve a high content of oxygen functional groups and defects, the peak current density of the redox reaction increases from 38.5 mA mg-1 to 45.4 mA mg-1 whilst the peak potential separation (ΔEp) also increases from 0.176 V to 0.209 V. Overall, a balance between the oxygen functional groups and the defects of CNTs affects the peak current and the reversibility for the VO2+/VO2+ redox.
