Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) offer a promising approach for electrical energy storage, combining cost-effectiveness and enhanced thermal safety. However, the cathode material, vanadium oxide, while known for its excellent theoretical specific capacity, faces a challenge in terms of its poor electronic conductance. In this study, we present a novel strategy to address this limitation by constructing the V5O12·6H2O/V6O13/CNT (VOH/CNT) nanocomposite, resulting in significantly improved electrochemical performance. This nanocomposite was synthesized through a facile solvothermal method, yielding a unique floral spherical structure featuring a central cluster and multiple smaller groupings. The integration of CNTs into the composite significantly enhanced its electronic conductance, effectively mitigating the electronic conductance issue associated with vanadium oxide. Moreover, the composite retains crystalline water within its structure, playing a crucial role in providing a favorable ion-conductive pathway. Consequently, the VOH/CNT nanocomposite exhibits an impressive reversible capacity of 201 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1, surpassing that of VOH (116 mA h g-1). Remarkably, even at a high current density, the VOH/CNT nanocomposite demonstrates an exceptional capacity retention, maintaining a capacity of 150 mA h g-1 over 500 cycles at 1 A g-1. Its outstanding electrochemical performance can be attributed to its distinctive structural arrangement, the conductive network facilitated by CNTs, and the introduced crystalline water component.

Abstract
Vanadyl phosphate (VOPO4 ·2H2 O) has been regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous Zn-ion batteries due to its distinct layered structure. However, VOPO4 ·2H2 O has not yet demonstrated the exceptional Zn ion storage performance owing to the structural deterioration during repeated charging/discharging process and poor intrinsic conductivity. In this work, 2D sodium vanadyl phosphate (NaVOPO4 ·0.83H2 O, denoted as NaVOP) is designed as a cathode material for Zn-ion batteries, in which sodium ions are preinserted into the interlayer, replacing part of water. Benefiting from the in situ surface oxidization, improved electronic conductivity, and increased hydrophobicity, the NaVOP electrode exhibits a high discharge capacity of 187 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after activation, excellent rate capability and enhanced cycling performance with 85% capacity retention after 1500 cycles at 1 A g-1 . The energy storage mechanism of the NaVOP nanoflakes based on the rapid Zn2+ and H+ intercalation pseudocapacitance are investigated via multiple ex situ characterizations.

Abstract
Due to their reliability, affordability and high safety, rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have garnered a lot of attention. Nevertheless, undesirable long-term cycle performance and the inadequate energy density of cathode materials impede the development of ZIBs. Herein, we report a layered CaV4O9-MXene (Ti3C2Tx) composite assembled using CaV4O9 nanosheets on Ti3C2Tx and investigate its electrochemical performance as a new cathode for ZIBs, where CaV4O9 nanosheets attached on the surface of MXene and interlamination create a layered 2D structure, efficiently improving the electrical conductivity of CaV4O9 and avoiding the stacking of MXene nanosheets. The structure also enables fast ion and electron transport. Further discussion is conducted on the effects of adding MXene in various amounts on the morphology and electrochemical properties. The composite shows an improved reversible capacity of 274.3 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, superior rate capabilities at 7 A g-1, and a high specific capacity of 107.6 mA h g-1 can be delivered after 2000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1. The improvement of the electrochemical performance is due to its unique layered structure, high electrical conductivity, and pseudo capacitance behavior.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) stand out among many monovalent/multivalent metal-ion batteries as promising new energy storage devices because of their good safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, there are still many great challenges to exploring new-type cathode materials that are suitable for Zn2+ intercalation. Vanadium-based compounds with various structures, large layer spacing, and different oxidation states are considered suitable cathode candidates for AZIBs. Herein, the research advances in vanadium-based compounds in recent years are systematically reviewed. The preparation methods, crystal structures, electrochemical performances, and energy storage mechanisms of vanadium-based compounds (e.g., vanadium phosphates, vanadium oxides, vanadates, vanadium sulfides, and vanadium nitrides) are mainly introduced. Finally, the limitations and development prospects of vanadium-based compounds are pointed out. Vanadium-based compounds as cathode materials for AZIBs are hoped to flourish in the coming years and attract more and more researchers' attention.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries have great promise for becoming next-generation storage systems, although the irreversible intercalation of Zn2+ and sluggish reaction kinetics impede their wide application. Therefore, it is urgent to develop highly reversible zinc-ion batteries. In this work, we modulate the morphology of vanadium nitride (VN) with different molar amounts of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The optimal electrode has porous architecture and excellent electrical conductivity, which can alleviate volume expansion/contraction and allow for fast ion transmission during the Zn2+ storage process. Furthermore, the CTAB-modified VN cathode undergoes a phase transition that provides a better framework for vanadium oxide (VOx). With the same mass of VN and VOx, VN provides more active material after phase conversion due to the molar mass of the N atom being less than that of the O atom, thus increasing the capacity. As expected, the cathode displays an excellent electrochemical performance of 272 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1, high cycling stability up to 7000 cycles, and excellent performance over a wide temperature range. This discovery creates new possibilities for the development of high-performance multivalent ion aqueous cathodes with rapid reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
The proposal of hybrid ion batteries, which can integrate the advantages of the single ion battery, opens up a new route for developing high-performance secondary batteries. Herein, we successfully constructed an aqueous hybrid battery comprised of polyanionic-type cathode material (Na3V2(PO4)3, NVP), Zn metal anode, and aqueous Ca2+/Zn2+ hybrid electrolyte. This exciting combination gives full play to not only the excellent diffusion dynamics of Ca2+ in the NASICON (sodium super ion conductors) structure but also the electrostatic shielding effect of Ca2+ with low reduction potential that inhibits the formation of zinc dendrites. As results, the NVP//Zn Zn/Ca hybrid battery delivers favorable specific capacity with outstanding rate performance (85.3 mAh g-1 capacity at 1 C, 60.5 mAh g-1 capacity at 20 C), and excellent cycle stability (74 % capacity retention after 1300 cycles).

Abstract
Zn metal is thermodynamically unstable in aqueous electrolytes, which induces dendrite growth and ongoing parasitic reactions at the interface during the plating process and even during shelf time, resulting in rapid battery failure and hindering the practical application of aqueous Zn ion batteries. In this work, glycine, a common multifunctional additive, is utilized to modulate the solvation shell structure and enhance the interfacial stability to guard the reversibility and stability of the Zn anode. Apart from partially replacing the original SO42- in the contact ion pair of Zn2+[H2O]5·OSO32- complexes to suppress the formation of Zn4(OH)6SO4·xH2O byproducts at the interface, glycine molecules can also form a water-poor electrical double layer on the zinc metal surface during resting and be further reduced to build in situ a ZnS-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer during cycling, which further suppresses side reactions and the random growth of Zn dendrites in the whole process. As expected, the cycle life of the symmetrical cells reaches over 3200 h in glycine-containing electrolytes. In addition, the Zn//NVO full cell shows exceptional cycling stability for 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1. Given the low-cost superiority of glycine, the proposed strategy for interfacial chemistry modulation shows considerable potential in promoting the commercialization progress of aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Herein, a unique synthetic approach called microemulsion is used to create nickel nanoparticles (Ni-NPs). SEM, TEM, EDX, and XRD techniques were employed for the investigation of morphology and structures of the synthesized material. Electrons from electroactive components are transferred to external circuits by Ni-NPs' superior electrical conductivity and interconnected nanostructures, which also provide a large number of channels for ion diffusion and additional active sites. The experimental findings showed that as a positive electrode for supercapacitors (SC), Ni-NPs had an outstanding ability to store charge, with a dominant capacitive charge storage of 72.4% when measured at 10 mV/s. Furthermore, at 1 A/g, Ni-NP electrodes exhibit a maximum capacitance of 730 F/g. Further, the Ni-NP electrode retains 92.4% of its capacitance even for 5000 cycles, highlighting possible applications for it in the developing field of renewable energy. The current study provides a new method for producing high-rate next-generation electrodes for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted significant attention in large-scale energy storage systems due to their unique merits, such as intrinsic safety, low cost, and relatively high theoretical energy density. However, the dilemma of the uncontrollable Zn dendrites, severe hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and side reactions that occur on the Zn anodes have hindered their commercialization. Herein, a state-of-the-art review of the rational design of highly reversible Zn anodes for high-performance AZIBs is provided. Firstly, the fundamental understanding of Zn deposition, with regard to the nucleation, electro-crystallization, and growth of the Zn nucleus is systematically clarified. Subsequently, a comprehensive survey of the critical factors influencing Zn plating together with the current main challenges is presented. Accordingly, the rational strategies emphasizing structural design, interface engineering, and electrolyte optimization have been summarized and analyzed in detail. Finally, future perspectives on the remaining challenges are recommended, and this review is expected to shed light on the future development of stable Zn anodes toward high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have received much research attention due to their advantages of safety, non-toxicity, simple manufacture, and element abundance. Nevertheless, serious problems still remain for their anodes, such as dendrite development, corrosion, passivation, and the parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction due to their unique aqueous electrolyte system constituting the main issues that must be addressed, which are blocking the further advancement of anodes for Zn-ion batteries. Herein, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the problems that exist for the zinc anode, summarize the main failure types and mechanisms of the zinc anode, and review the main modification strategies for the anode from the three aspects of the electrolyte, anode surface, and anode host. Furthermore, we also shed light on further modification and optimization strategies for the zinc anode, which provide directions for the future development of anodes for zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
The aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have been deemed as one of the most promising energy storage devices owing to their high safety, low cost, and environmental benignity. Nevertheless, the severe corrosion of zinc metal anode and side reactions between the anode and electrolyte greatly hinder the practical application of AZIBs. To address above-mentioned issues, herein, a nano-CaSiO3layer was coated on the surface of Zn metal anode via the solution casting method. Results showed that this hydrophobic coating layer could effectively inhibit the direct contact of Zn metal anode with electrolyte, suppressing its corrosion and side reactions during Zn deposition/stripping. When applied in symmetrical cells, the nano-CaSiO3coated Zn (CSO-Zn) electrode exhibited much longer cycle life than bare Zn electrode. Moreover, with this nano-CaSiO3modified Zn anode, both vanadium-based and manganese-based full cells depicted excellent capacity retention. This nano-CaSiO3coating layer provides a good choice for improving the stability of Zn metal anode for high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are one of the promising energy storage systems, which consist of electrode materials, electrolyte, and separator. The first two have been significantly received ample development, while the prominent role of the separators in manipulating the stability of the electrode has not attracted sufficient attention. In this work, a separator (UiO-66-GF) modified by Zr-based metal organic framework for robust AZIBs is proposed. UiO-66-GF effectively enhances the transport ability of charge carriers and demonstrates preferential orientation of (002) crystal plane, which is favorable for corrosion resistance and dendrite-free zinc deposition. Consequently, Zn|UiO-66-GF-2.2|Zn cells exhibit highly reversible plating/stripping behavior with long cycle life over 1650 h at 2.0 mA cm-2, and Zn|UiO-66-GF-2.2|MnO2 cells show excellent long-term stability with capacity retention of 85% after 1000 cycles. The reasonable design and application of multifunctional metal organic frameworks modified separators provide useful guidance for constructing durable AZIBs.

Abstract
Organic compounds have been extensively used as zinc-ion battery (ZIB) cathodes due to their high capacities and outstanding properties. Nevertheless, poor electrical conductivity limits their developments. RGO (reduced graphene oxide) can well interact with organic compounds through π-π stacking for furnishing capacious ion diffusion paths and active sites to enhance conductivity and capacity. Herein, a 1,1'-iminodianthraquinone (IDAQ)/rGO composite is utilized as cathode of ZIBs, demonstrating ultrahigh stability with 96% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. Zn2+ and H+ synergetic mechanism in IDAQ/rGO has been deeply discussed by ex situ analysis and theoretical calculation. Consequently, the structure of IDAQ2(H+)6(Zn2+) is the most probable product after discharging progress. Prospectively, the IDAQ/rGO material with excellent stability and good performance would provide new insights into designing advanced ZIBs.

Abstract
A conventional aqueous electrolyte is a crucial component of zinc-ion batteries providing an ion conductive medium. However, the monofunction of a liquid electrolyte cannot bear any external load. With regard to applications in electric vehicles and stationary energy storage devices, complicated battery packing materials are required to improve the mechanical properties, resulting in reduced energy or power densities from the perspective of the entire device. In this work, an electrolyte suspension combining both fluid-like and solid-like performances was developed for rechargeable zinc-ion batteries. Cornstarch water suspension is utilized in the electrolyte design forming a shear-thickening electrolyte with impact resistance ability. The formed electrolyte becomes rigid at a high shear rate. In other words, under a sudden impact, a battery with this shear-thickening electrolyte could offer additional load bearing avoiding short-circuiting and improving safety. Although an additional functionality, namely impact resistance, was added to the electrolyte, the as-prepared electrolyte still performs with comparable electrochemical performances for which it exhibits a superior ionic conductivity of 3.9 × 10-3 S cm-1 and Zn2+ transference number. This electrolyte even suppresses side-effects on the zinc anode, exhibiting a lower voltage gap in the symmetric cell compared to the aqueous electrolyte. The integrated full cell also delivered a specific capacity of 255 mA h g-1 with commercial MnO2 as the cathode at a current density of 0.1 A g-1.

Abstract
Reversibility and stability are considered as the key indicators for Zn metal anodes in aqueous Zn-ion batteries, yet they are severely hindered by uncontrolled Zn stripping/plating and side reactions. Herein, we fabricate a bulk phase ZnIn alloy anode containing trace indium by a typical smelting-rolling process. A uniformly dispersed bulk phase of the whole Zn anode is constructed rather than only a protective layer on the surface. The Zn deposition can be regarded as instantaneous nucleation due to the adsorption of the evenly dispersed indium, and formation of the exclusion zone for further nucleation can be prevented at the same time. Owing to the bulk phase structure of ZnIn alloy, the indium not only plays a crucial role in Zn deposition, but also improves the Zn stripping. Consequently, the as-designed ZnIn alloy anode can sustain stable Zn stripping/plating for over 2500 h at 4.4 mA cm-2 with nearly 6 times smaller voltage hysteresis than that of pure Zn. Moreover, it enables a substantially stable ZnIn//NH4V4O10 battery with 96.44% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1. This method of regulating the Zn nucleation by preparing a Zn-based alloy provides a potential solution to the critical problem of Zn dendrite growth and by-product generation fundamentally.
