Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) exhibit high energy density and a good electrochemical stability window in aqueous non-metallic ion batteries, which is conducive to achieving high energy output and stable operation. Additionally, their synthesis process is simple and environmentally friendly, meeting the demands of sustainable development. However, the poor conductivity, structural stability issues, and inadequate ion diffusion pathways limit their application in batteries. To overcome these challenges, researchers have adopted various optimization strategies: enhancing the conductivity of PBAs by compositing with high-conductivity carbon materials such as graphite, carbon nanotubes, or graphene; optimizing synthesis conditions such as temperature and reaction time to improve the defect and structural water content of PBAs, thereby enhancing their stability and electrochemical performance; employing surface modification techniques, such as conductive polymer encapsulation and acid etching, to improve their electrochemical stability and ion transport performance; and optimizing ion diffusion efficiency and battery kinetics by selecting suitable electrolytes and additives. These comprehensive measures contribute to improving the electrochemical performance of PBAs and promoting the development of their commercial applications. Based on prior research advancements, we introduce a novel synergistic regulation strategy: the creation of multi-redox-active centers to augment the transport capability of non-metallic ions and the optimization of defect structures through the establishment of a metal ion concentration gradient, thereby enhancing both electrochemical stability and performance.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are regarded as promising cathode materials for ammonium-ion batteries (AIBs) because of their low cost and superb theoretical capacity. However, its inherently poor conductivity and structural collapse can significantly limit the enhancement of rate property and cycling stability. In this work, Berlin Green (BG) electrode materials with similar wool-like clusters were constructed by direct precipitation method to accelerate the kinetic, which realizes outstanding cycling stability. Berlin Green with the appropriate amount of iron (BG-2) has a fast ion transport channel, enhanced structure stability, highly reversible insertion/extraction of NH4+, and fine electrochemical reaction activity. Benefiting from the unique architecture and component, the BG-2 electrode shows an excellent rate performance with a discharge/charge specific capacity of 60.1/59.3 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1. Even at 5 A g-1, BG-2 exhibits remarkable cycling stability with an initial discharge capacity of 59.5 mAh g-1 and a capacity retention rate of approximately 76% after 30,000 cycles. The BG-2 reveals exceedingly good electrochemical reversibility during the process of NH4+ (de)insertion. BG materials indicate huge potential as a cathode material for the next generation of high-performance aqueous batteries.

Abstract
The practical application of zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) can be facilitated by designing cathode materials with unique structures that can overcome the critical problems of slow reaction kinetics and large volume expansion associated with the intercalation reaction of divalent zinc ions. In this study, a novel urchin-like (NH4)2V10O25·8H2O assembled from nanorods was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, noted as U-NVO. The interlayer organic pillar of cetyltrimethylammonium cation (CTAB) has been intercalated between layers to regulate the interlayer microstructure and expand the interlayer spacing to 1.32 nm, which effectively increased the contact between the electrode and electrolyte interface and shortened the diffusion path of electrolyte ions. The interlayer pillars of structural H2O and NH4+ provide a flexible framework structure and enhance the cohesion of the layered structure, which helps to maintain structural stability during the charging and discharging process, resulting in long-term durability. These unique properties result in the U-NVO cathodes demonstrating high specific capacity (401.7 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), excellent rate capability (99.6 % retention from 0.1 to 5 A g-1 and back to 0.1 A g-1), and long-term cycling performance (∼87.5 % capacity retention after 2600 cycles). These results offer valuable insights into the design of high-performance vanadium oxide cathode materials.

Abstract
Due to their excellent safety and lower cost, aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have garnered extensive interest among various energy-storage systems. Here we report a quasi-solid-state self-healing AZIB by using a hybrid hydrogel which consists of dual-crosslinked polyacrylamide and polyvinyl alcohol as a flexible electrolyte and a cobalt hexacyanoferrate (K3.24Co3[Fe(CN)6]2·12.6H2O) Prussian blue analogue as the cathode material. The obtained hybrid hydrogel showed a superhigh fracture strain of up to 1490%, which was almost 15 times higher than that of the original size. Due to the fast formation of hydrogen bonds, the self-healed hydrogel from two pieces still displayed 1165% strain upon failure. As a result, the self-healed battery delivered stable capacities of 119.1, 108.6 and 103.0 mA h g-1 even after being completely cut into 2, 3 and 4 pieces, respectively. The battery capacity recovery rates for each bending cycle exceeded 99.5%, 99.8%, 98.6% and 98.9% during four continuous bending cycles (30 times bending at 90° for each cycle), which indicates outstanding flexibility and self-healing capability. In parallel, the hydrogel electrolyte displayed a broader electrochemically stable window of 3.37 V due to the suppression of water splitting and low overvoltage during the 500 h cycling in a symmetric cell. Zinc dendrites were also suppressed as evidenced in symmetric cell measurements. The assembled AZIB exhibited an initial capacity of 176 mA h g-1 upon vertical bending. The battery showed a reliable capacity of 140.7 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 100 cycles along with a coulombic efficiency of >99%. A reliable capacity of nearly 100 mA h g-1 was retained after 300 cycles at 1.0 A g-1. The highly flexible and self-healing AZIB demonstrates great potential in various wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
Prussian Blue analogs (PBAs) are a suitable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) cathode material, but they face issues related to low specific capacity and cycling lifespan due to insufficient active sites and poor ion de-intercalation structural stability. In this study, Mn-Prussian Blue Analog (Mn-PBA) is fabricated using a simple co-precipitation method and the morphology of Mn-PBA is further optimized through artificially manipulating concentration gradients strategy, effectively enhancing the structural stability of Zn2+ de-intercalation. Furthermore, the introduction of Mn established dual Zn2+ active centers in Mn-PBA (Mn-O and Fe(CN)6]4-/[Fe(CN)6]3-), leading to an increased specific capacity. As a proof of concept for AZIBs, the optimized Mn-PBA-3 cathode exhibits a high reversible specific capacity of 143.5 mAh/g and maintains a capacity retention of 88.5 % after 250 cycles at 1 A/g, surpassing commercial MnO2 (30.5 mAh/g after 100 cycles). Mn-PBA-3 also delivers a high capacity of 79.0 mA h g-1 after 2000 cycles of 10 A/g. The mechanism of the Zn2+ double redox reaction of Mn-PBA-3 has been revealed in detail by in situ Raman and a series of ex situ techniques. Under a high operating voltage window of 0-1.9 V, Zn//Mn-PBA-3 demonstrates a capacity of 99.3 mAh/g after 800 cycles (5 A/g) by assembling zinc ion button battery. This work has reference significance for structurally modulated PBAs used in high performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Organic compounds have become an important electrode material for aqueous electrochemical energy storage. However, organic electrodes still face poor performance in aqueous batteries due to insufficient electrochemical activity. In this work, a novel conjugated quinone compound containing a rich carbonyl group was designed. The quinone compound was synthesized by a simple dehydration reaction of pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetrone (PTO) and 1,2-diaminoanthraquinone (1,2-AQ); it contains 4 pyrazines (CN) from AQ and 4 carbonyl groups (CO), as well as a large number of active sites and the excellent conductivity brought by its conjugated structure ensures the high theoretical capacity of PTO-AQ. In the context of aqueous sodium ion batteries (ASIBs), the electrode material known as PTO-AQ exhibits a notable reversible discharge capacity of 117.9 mAh/g when subjected to a current density of 1 A/g; impressively, it maintained a capacity retention rate of 74.3 % even after undergoing 500 charge and discharge cycles, a performance significantly surpassing that of pristine PTO and AQ. Notably, PTO-AQ exhibits a wide operating voltage range (-1.0-0.5 V) and a cycle life of up to 10,000 cycles. In situ Raman and ex situ measurements were used to analyze the structural changes of PTO-AQ during charge and discharge and the energy storage mechanism in NaAC. The effective promotion of Na+ storage brought by a rich carbonyl group was obtained. The structural energy level and electrostatic potential of PTO-AQ were calculated, and the active center distribution of PTO-AQ was obtained. This work serves as a guide for designing high-performance aqueous organic electrode materials that operate across a wide voltage range while also explaining their energy storage mechanism.

Abstract
The key to the innovation of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is to find efficient sodium-storage electrode. Here, metal Mo doping of NiSe2 is proposed by modified electrospinning strategy followed by in situ conversion process. The Mo-NiSe2 anchoring on hollow carbon nanofibers (HCNFs) would make full use of the multi-channel HCNFs in the inner layer and the active sites of Mo-NiSe2 in the outer layer, which plays an important role in buffering the volume stress of Na+ (de)insertion and reducing the adsorption energy barrier of Na+. Innovatively, it is proposed to jointly regulate the SIBs performance of NiSe2 by both metal atom doping and interface effects, thereby adjusting the sodium ion adsorption barrier of NiSe2. The Mo-NiSe2@HCNFs exhibits remarkable performance in SIBs, demonstrating a high specific capacity of 396 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 1 A/g. Moreover, it maintains outstanding cycling stability, retaining 77.6 % of its capacity (211 mAh/g) even after 1000 cycles at 10 A/g. This comprehensive electrochemical performances are due to the structural stability and outstanding electronic conductance of the Mo-NiSe2@HCNFs, as evidenced by the diffusion analysis and ex situ charge-discharge process characterization. Furthermore, coupled with the Na3V2(PO4)2O2F cathodes, the full cell also achieves a high energy density of 123 Wh kg-1. The theoretical calculation of the hypervalent Mo doing further proves the benefit of its Na+ adsorption and denser conduction band distribution. This study provides a reference for the construction of transition metal selenide via doping and interface engineering in sodium storage.

In this work, we have developed an efficient method to synthesize Prussian blue by self-decomposition of sodium ferrocyanide in acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution. This buffer solution-based proton pool provides a relatively low and stable concentration of protons for the slow decomposition of sodium ferrocyanide to get highly crystalline and sodium rich Prussian blue, which can be used as the cathode for high-performance sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The significant attraction toward aqueous proton batteries (APBs) is attributable to their expedited kinetics, elevated safety profile, and economical feasibility. Nevertheless, their practical implement is significantly blocked by the unsatisfactory energy density due to the limited cathode materials. Herein, vanadium hexacyanoferrate Prussian blue analog (VOHCF) is introduced as a potentially favorable cathode material for APBs. The findings demonstrate that this VOHCF electrode exhibits a notable reversible capacity of 102.7 mAh g-1 and exceptional cycling stability, with 95.4% capacity retention over 10 000 cycles at 10 A g-1 . It is noteworthy that this is the detailed instance of VOHCF being proposed as a cathode for APBs. Combining the in situ characterization techniques and theoretical simulations, the origins of excellent proton storage performance are revealed as the multiple redox mechanisms with double active centers of ─C≡N group and V═O bond in VOHCF as well as the robust structure stability. A proton full cell with excellent performance is further achieved by coupling the VOHCF cathode and diquinoxalino[2,3-a:2',3'-c] phenazine (HATN) anode, demonstrating the great potential of VOHCF in practical applications. This work could provide fundamental understanding to the development of feasible cathode materials for proton storage device.

Abstract
The development of high-quality anode materials is critical for the advancement of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). MoSe2 is a candidate anode for SIBs, while its inherent limitations, such as the agglomeration of nanosheets, poor electron conductance and mechanical strain due to volume changes during cycling, which can lead to decreased performance and durability in SIBs. To overcome the challenges, a novel aliovalent doping and structural engineering was taken to prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO) functionalized and phosphorus-doped MoSe2 flake (P-MoSe2@rGO) via in situ growth technique. The unique structural design of P-MoSe2@rGO addresses material limitations and optimizes performance by providing a high conductive grid for ion/electron transfer, a large surface area for full electrolyte penetration, and effective suppression of MoSe2 nanosheet agglomeration and mechanical strain due to volume change during charge/discharge in SIBs. The P-MoSe2@rGO inherits the enhanced electronic conductivity and enlarged layer spacing (from 0.652 to 0.668 nm), which boosts the reaction kinetics and facilitates the insertion/extraction of sodium ions. The P-MoSe2@rGO exhibits excellent long-cycle properties with a high reversible capacity of 384 mAh/g at 2 A/g and 338 mAh/g at 10 A/g after 1450 circulations. Detailed discussion of reaction kinetics is conducted. Theoretical calculations prove that doping of P atoms in MoSe2 reduces the forbidden band gap from 1.443 to 1.397 eV and accelerates ion and electron migration. Furthermore, the full cell P-MoSe2@rGO//Na3V2(PO4)3@C (NVP@C) demonstrates a remarkable cycling durability of 326 mAh/g after 200 cycles and a high energy density of 159.6 Wh kg-1. This process provides a reference for the adjustment and modification of MoSe2 to adapt to high performance SIBs anode.

Abstract
One of the biggest obstacles to the development of aqueous proton batteries (APBs), despite numerous optimization techniques, is the preparation and use of high-performance electrode materials. In this work, to improve the high solubility, limited capacity and poor cycle life of small organic molecules in APBs, homogeneous dispersed quinone-amine polymer nanospheres (PQANS) (average diameter: 220 nm) were synthesized by a polymerization reaction based on 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and benzoquinone (BQ), making them suitable for proton storage in aqueous systems. As an anode for APBs, the obtained PQANS exhibits an improved reversible capacity of 126.2 mAh/g at 1 A/g after 300 cycles. The durable stable measurement of PQANS at 10 A/g was also conducted with a specific capacity of 66.8 mAh/g after 12,000 cycles. A series of in situ or ex situ measurements were used to establish the superior H+ storage mechanism of PQANS. A novel reaction mechanism of redox enhancement was revealed due to the existence of more carbonyl groups after the first cycle. Theoretical calculations were conducted to help illustrate the principle of binding protons with functional groups in PQANS. Finally, a PQANS anode-based aqueous proton full battery was constructed to demonstrate its potential application, which exhibits a specific capacity of 50.6 mAh/g at 1 A/g (600 cycles). This work provides a reference for preparing high-performance polymer-based electrode materials in aqueous batteries.

Abstract
The development of self-powered flexible multicolor electrochromic (EC) systems that could switch different color without an external power supply has remained extremely challenging. Here, a new trilayer film structure for achieving self-powered flexible multicolor EC displays based on self-charging/discharging mechanism is proposed, which is simply assembled by sandwiching an ionic gel film between 2 cathodic nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) and Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticle films on indium tin oxide substrates. The display exhibits independent self-powered color switching of NiHCF and PB films with fast responsive time and high reversibility by selectively connecting the Al wire as anodes with the 2 EC films. Multicolor switching is thus achieved through a color overlay effect by superimposing the 2 EC films, including green, blue, yellow, and colorless. The bleaching/coloration process of the displays is driven by the discharging/self-charging mechanism for NiHCF and PB films, respectively, ensuring the self-powered color switching of the displays reversibly without an external power supply. It is further demonstrated that patterns can be easily created in the self-powered EC displays by the spray-coating method, allowing multicolor changing to convey specific information. Moreover, a self-powered ionic writing board is demonstrated based on the self-powered EC displays that can be repeatedly written freehand without the need of an external power source. We believe that the design concept may provide new insights into the development of self-powered flexible multicolor EC displays with self-recovered energy for widespread applications.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received much attention because of their environmental, financial, and safety concerns. The advantages of aqueous electrochemical energy storage include environmental friendliness and safety, and the development of prepared electrode materials is predicted to alleviate these issues. A redox-active organic compound, 7,7,8,8‑tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), is a suitable electrode for aqueous batteries. In this work, the porous and electronic interconnected structure of TCNQ is designed by electronic modulation and structure engineering. With the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in situ homogeneous loading TCNQ by a one-step facile approach, the exquisite architecture has enhanced conductivity and connected conductive networks, favoring the storage and transportation of NH4+ or electrons in aqueous electrolytes. As a cathode, the obtained TCNQ-rGO exhibits superior performance for NH4+ batteries with an improved reversible capacity of 92.7 mAh/g at 1 A/g of quadruple capacity boosting to pure TCNQ and stable cycle life (5000 cycles at 10 A/g). The adjustment of the loading ratio of TCNQ and rGO for the cycling performance has been studied in detail. Furthermore, the superior ammonium storage mechanism of the TCNQ-rGO hybrid is thoroughly discussed by in situ Raman or ex situ measurements, which also determine the redox activity center groups of the TCNQ-rGO hybrid. Energy level calculations are conducted to help illustrate its potential as an electrode material. Our work demonstrates that electronic modulation and structural engineering of TCNQ can improve the electrochemical performance of molecular organic compound-based electrodes for aqueous rechargeable batteries in a simple and effective way.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the preferred battery system for portable electronic devices and transportation equipment due to their high specific energy, good cycling performance, low self-discharge, and absence of memory effect. However, excessively low ambient temperatures will seriously affect the performance of LIBs, which are almost incapable of discharging at -40~-60 °C. There are many factors affecting the low-temperature performance of LIBs, and one of the most important is the electrode material. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop electrode materials or modify existing materials in order to obtain excellent low-temperature LIB performance. A carbon-based anode is one candidate for use in LIBs. In recent years, it has been found that the diffusion coefficient of lithium ion in graphite anodes decreases more obviously at low temperatures, which is an important factor limiting its low-temperature performance. However, the structure of amorphous carbon materials is complex; they have good ionic diffusion properties, and their grain size, specific surface area, layer spacing, structural defects, surface functional groups, and doping elements may have a greater impact on their low-temperature performance. In this work, the low-temperature performance of LIBs was achieved by modifying the carbon-based material from the perspectives of electronic modulation and structural engineering.

Abstract
The popular metal-ion batteries (MIBs) suffer from environmental and economic issues because of their heavy dependency on nonrenewable metals. Here, we propose a metal-free ammonium (NH4 + )-based dual-ion battery with a record-breaking operation voltage of 2.75 V. The working mechanism of this sustainable battery involves the reversible anion (PF6 - ) intercalation chemistry in graphite cathode and NH4 + intercalation behavior in PTCDI (3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide) anode. This new battery configuration successfully circumvented the reduction susceptibility of NH4 + and the lack of mature NH4 + -rich cathodes for NH4 + ion batteries (AIBs). The customized organic NH4 + electrolyte endows the graphite||PTCDI full battery with durable longevity (over 1000 cycles) and a high energy density (200 Wh kg-1 ). We show that the development of AIBs should be high-voltage-oriented while circumventing low operation potential to avoid NH4 + reduction.
