Abstract
Applications of aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) for grid-scale energy storage are hindered by the lacking of stable cathodes with large capacity and fast redox kinetics. Herein, the intercalation of tetramethylammonium (TMA+) cations is reported into MoS2 interlayers to expand its spacing from 0.63 to 1.06 nm. The pre-intercalation of TMA+ induces phase transition of MoS2 from 2H to 1T phase, contributing to an enhanced conductivity and better wettability. Besides, The calculation from density functional theory indicates that those TMA+ can effectively shield the interactions between Zn2+ and MoS2 layers. Consequently, two orders magnitude high Zn2+ ions diffusion coefficient and 11 times enhancement in specific capacity (212.4 vs 18.9 mAh g‒1 at 0.1 A g‒1) are achieved. The electrochemical investigations reveal both Zn2+ and H+ can be reversibly co-inserted into the MoS2-TMA electrode. Moreover, the steady habitat of TMA+ between MoS2 interlayers affords the MoS2-TMA with remarkable cycling stability (90.1% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 5.0 A g‒1). These performances are superior to most of the recent zinc ion batteries assembled with MoS2 or VS2-based cathodes. This work offers a new avenue to tuning the structure of MoS2 for aqueous ZIBs.

Abstract
Metallic Al has been deemed an ideal electrode material for aqueous batteries by virtue of its abundance and high theoretical capacity (8056 mAh cm-3). However, the development of aqueous Al metal batteries has been hindered by several side reactions, including water decomposition, Al corrosion, and passivation, which arise from the solvation reaction of Al and H2O in conventional aqueous electrolytes. In this work, we report that water activity in electrolyte can be suppressed by optimizing the Al3+ solvation structure through intercalation of polar pyridine-3-carboxylic acid in an aluminum trifluoromethanesulfonate aqueous environment. Furthermore, the pyridine-3-carboxylic acid molecules are inclined to alter the surface energy of Al, thus suppressing the random deposition of Al. As a result, the Al corrosion in the hybrid electrolyte is restrained, and the long-term electrochemical stability of the electrolyte is tremendously improved. These merits bring remarkable reversibility to aqueous Al batteries using Al-preintercalated MnO2 cathodes, delivering a retaining energy density of >250 Wh kg-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 600 cycles.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs), with abundant aluminum reserves, low cost, and high safety, give them outstanding advantages in the postlithium batteries era. However, the high charge density (364 C mm-3 ) and large binding energy of three-electron-charge aluminum ions (Al3+ ) de-intercalation usually lead to irreversible structural deterioration and decayed battery performance. Herein, to mitigate these inherent defects from Al3+ , an unexplored family of superlattice-type tungsten selenide-sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) (S-WSe2 ) cathode in RABs with a stably crystal structure, expanded interlayer, and enhanced Al-ion diffusion kinetic process is proposed. Benefiting from the unique advantage of superlattice-type structure, the anionic surfactant SDBS in S-WSe2 can effectively tune the interlayer spacing of WSe2 with released crystal strain from high-charge-density Al3+ and achieve impressively long-term cycle stability (110 mAh g-1 over 1500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 ). Meanwhile, the optimized S-WSe2 cathode with intrinsic negative attraction of SDBS significantly accelerates the Al3+ diffusion process with one of the best rate performances (165 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 ) in RABs. The findings of this study pave a new direction toward durable and high-performance electrode materials for RABs.

Abstract
The rising energy crisis and environmental concerns caused by fossil fuels have accelerated the deployment of renewable and sustainable energy sources and storage systems. As a result of immense progress in the field, cost-effective, high-performance, and long-life rechargeable batteries are imperative to meet the current and future demands for sustainable energy sources. Currently, lithium-ion batteries are widely used, but limited lithium (Li) resources have caused price spikes, threatening progress toward cleaner energy sources. Therefore, post-Li, batteries that utilize highly abundant materials leading to cost-effective energy storage solutions while offering desirable performance characteristics are urgently needed. Aluminum-ion battery (AIB) is an attractive concept that uses highly abundant aluminum while offering a high theoretical gravimetric and volumetric capacity of 2980 mAh g-1 and 8046 mAh cm-3 , respectively. As a result, intensified efforts have been made in recent years to utilize numerous electrolytes, anodes, and cathode materials to improve the electrochemical performance of AIBs, and potentially create high-performance, low-cost, and safe energy storage devices. Herein, recent progress in the electrolyte, anode, and cathode active materials and their utilization in AIBs and their related characteristics are summarized. Finally, the main challenges facing AIBs along with future directions are highlighted.

Abstract
This systematic review covers the developments in aqueous aluminium energy storage technology from 2012, including primary and secondary battery applications and supercapacitors. Aluminium is an abundant material with a high theoretical volumetric energy density of –8.04 Ah cm−3. Combined with aqueous electrolytes, which have twice the ionic storage potential as non-aqueous versions, this technology has the potential to serve many energy storage needs. The charge transfer mechanisms are discussed in detail with respect to aqueous aluminium-ion secondary batteries, where most research has focused in recent years. TiO2 nanopowders have shown to be promising negative electrodes, with the potential for pseudocapacitive energy storage in aluminuim-ion cells. This review summarises the advances in Al-ion systems using aqueous electrolytes, focusing on electrochemical performance.
