Abstract
This review focuses on the advanced design and optimization of nanostructured zinc-air batteries (ZABs), with the aim of boosting their energy storage and conversion capabilities. The findings show that ZABs favor porous nanostructures owing to their large surface area, and this enhances the battery capacity, catalytic activity, and life cycle. In addition, the nanomaterials improve the electrical conductivity, ion transport, and overall battery stability, which crucially reduces dendrite growth on the zinc anodes and improves cycle life and energy efficiency. To obtain a superior performance, the importance of controlling the operational conditions and using custom nanostructural designs, optimal electrode materials, and carefully adjusted electrolytes is highlighted. In conclusion, porous nanostructures and nanoscale materials significantly boost the energy density, longevity, and efficiency of Zn-air batteries. It is suggested that future research should focus on the fundamental design principles of these materials to further enhance the battery performance and drive sustainable energy solutions.

Abstract
Olivine FePO4 is widely regarded as an optimal cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its impressive theoretical capacity of 177.7 mAh g-1. Nonetheless, the material's limited application stems from its intrinsic low electronic and ionic conductivities and ion diffusion rate. Previously, most modifications of olivine FePO4 are conducted through electrochemical or ion exchange processes in organic solvents, which severely restricted its potential for large-scale applications. In this research, a novel water-based ion exchange method is proposed for the synthesis of Ni-doped, Mn-doped, and Ni, Mn co-doped FePO4@C, which is non-toxic, cost-effective, and demonstrating promising prospects for various applications. Fe2.7Mn0.2Ni0.1PO4@C (0.2Mn0.1Ni-FP@C) is synthesized by a straightforward ion exchange method in aqueous media. The material exhibits a discharge capacity of 154.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1C rate. After 300 cycles at 1C, the capacity retention rate remains at 70.7 %. Numerous tests and calculations conducted in this study demonstrate that 0.2Mn0.1Ni-FP@C, modified through Mn3+ and Ni3+ co-doping, exhibits superior electrochemical performance due to its enhanced electronic conductivity and ion diffusion rate.

Abstract
Sodium (Na) super ion conductor (NASICON) structure Na3MnTi(PO4)3 (NMTP) is considered a promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries due to its reversible three-electron reaction. However, the inferior electronic conductivity and sluggish reaction kinetics limit its practical applications. Herein, we successfully constructed a three-dimensional cross-linked porous architecture NMTP material (AsN@NMTP/C) by a natural microbe of Aspergillus niger (AsN), and the structure of different NMTP cathodes was optimized by adjusting different transition metal Mn/Ti ratios. Both approaches effectively altered the three-dimensional NMTP structure, not only improving electronic conductivity and controlling Na+ diffusion pathways but also enhancing the electrochemical kinetics of the material. The resultant AsN@NMTP/C-650, sintered at 650 °C, exhibits better electrochemical performance with higher reversible three-electron reactions corresponding to the voltage platforms of Ti4+/3+, Mn3+/2+, and Mn4+/3+ around 2.1, 3.6, and 4.1 V (vs Na+/Na), respectively. The capacity retention rate is up to 89.3% after 1000 cycles at a 2C rate. Moreover, a series of results confirms that the Na3.4Mn1.2Ti0.8(PO4)3 cathode has the most excellent electrochemical performance when the Mn/Ti ratio is 1.2/0.8, with a high capacity of 96.59 mAh g-1 and 97.1% capacity retention after 500 cycles.

Abstract
The emerging sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are one of the most promising candidates expected to complement lithium-ion batteries and diversify the battery market. However, the exploitation of cathode materials with high-rate performance and long-cycle stability for SIBs has remained one of the major challenges. To this end, an efficient approach to enhance rate and cycling performance by introducing an ordered bicontinuous porous structure into cathode materials of SIBs is demonstrated. Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are selected because they are recognized as a type of most promising SIB cathode materials. Thanks to the presence of 3D continuous channels enabling fast Na+ ions diffusion as well as the intrinsic mechanical stability of bicontinuous architecture, the resultant PBAs exhibit excellent rate capability (80 mAh g-1 at 2.5 A g-1) and ultralong cycling life (>3000 circulations at 0.5 A g-1), reaching the top performance of the reported PBA-based cathode materials. This study opens a new avenue for boosting sluggish ion diffusion kinetics in electrodes of rechargeable batteries and also provides a new paradigm for solving the dilemma that electrodes' failure due to high-stress concentration upon ion storage.

Abstract
Manganese-based materials are regarded as the most prospective cathode materials because of their high natural abundance, low toxicity, and high specific capacity. Nevertheless, the low conductivity, poor cycling performance, and controversial energy storage mechanisms hinder their practical application. Here, the MnS0.5Se0.5 microspheres are synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal approach and employed as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) for the first time. Interestingly, in-depth ex situ tests and electrochemical kinetic analyses reveal that MnS0.5Se0.5 is first irreversibly converted into low-crystallinity ZnMnO3 and MnOx by in situ electrooxidation (MnS0.5Se0.5-EOP) during the first charging process, and then a reversible co-insertion/extraction of H+/Zn2+ occurs in the as-obtained MnS0.5Se0.5-EOP electrode during the subsequent discharging and charging processes. Benefiting from the increased surface area, shortened ion transport path, and stable lamellar microsphere structure, the MnS0.5Se0.5-EOP electrodes deliver high reversible capacity (272.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), excellent rate capability (91.8 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1), and satisfactory cyclic stability (82.1% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1). This study not only provides a powerful impetus for developing new types of manganese-based chalcogenides, but also puts forward a novel perspective for exploring the intrinsic mechanisms of in situ electrooxidation behavior.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) based on inorganic solid electrolytes fascinate a large body of researchers in terms of overcoming the inferior energy density and safety issues of existing lithium-ion batteries. To date, the cathode designs in the ASSBs achieve remarkable achievements, adding the urgency of scaling up the battery system toward inorganic solid-state pouch cell configuration for the application market. Herein, the recent developments of cathode materials and the design considerations for their application in the pouch cell format are reviewed to straighten out the roadmap of ASSBs. Specifically, the intercalation compounds and the conversion materials with conversion chemistries are highlighted and discussed as two potentially valuable material types. This review focuses on the basic electrochemical mechanisms, mechanical contact issues, and sheet-type structure in inorganic solid-state pouch cells with corresponding perspectives, thus guiding the future research direction. Finally, the benchmarks for manufacturing inorganic solid-state pouch cells to meet practical high energy density targets are provided in this review for the development of commercially viable products.

Abstract
Alluaudite sodium iron sulfate (NFS) exhibits great potential for use in sodium-ion battery cathodes due to its elevated operating potential and abundant element reserves. However, conventional solid-state methods demonstrate a low heating/cooling rate and sluggish reaction kinetics, requiring a long thermal treatment to effectively fabricate NFS cathodes. Herein, we propose a thermal shock (TS) strategy to synthesize alluaudite sodium iron sulfate cathodes using either hydrous or anhydrous raw materials. The analysis of the phase formation process reveals that TS treatment can significantly facilitate the removal of crystal water and decomposition of the intermediate phase Na2Fe(SO4)2 in the hydrous precursor. In the case of the anhydrous precursor, the kinetics of the combination reaction between Na2SO4 and FeSO4 can be also accelerated by TS treatment. Consequently, pure NFS phase formation can be completed after a substantially shorter time of post-sintering, thereby saving significant time and energy. The TS-treated NFS cathode derived from hydrous precursor exhibits higher retention after 200 cycles at 1C and better rate capability than the counterpart prepared by conventional long-term tube furnace sintering, demonstrating the great potential of this novel strategy.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are the new generation electrochemical energy storage systems. Recently, two-dimensional conductive metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) are attractive to serve as cathode materials of ZIBs due to their compositional diversity, abundant active sites, and excellent conductivity. Despite the growing interest in 2D c-MOFs, their application prospects are still to be explored. Herein, a tetraoxa[8]circulene (TOC) derivative with unique electronic structure and interesting redox-active property are synthesized to construct c-MOFs. A series of novel 2D c-MOFs (Cu-TOC, Zn-TOC and Mn-TOC) with different conductivities and packing modes are obtained by combining the linker tetraoxa[8]circulenes-2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octaol (8OH-TOC) and corresponding metal ions. Three c-MOFs all exhibit typical semiconducting properties, and Cu-TOC exhibits the highest electrical conductivity of 0.2 S cm-1 among them. Furthermore, their electrochemical performance as cathode materials for ZIBs have been investigated. They all performed high reversible capacity, decent cycle stability and excellent rate capability. This work reveals the key insights into the electrochemical application potential of 2D c-MOFs and advances their development as cathode materials in ZIBs.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been widely studied as cathodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their three-dimensional framework structure and easily adjustable composition. However, the phase transition behavior and [Fe(CN)6]4- anionic defects severely deteriorate electrochemical performances. Herein, we propose a defect-free potassium iron manganese hexacyanoferrate (K1.47Fe0.5Mn0.5[Fe(CN)6]·1.26H2O, KFMHCF-1/2) as the cathode material for PIBs. The Fe-Mn binary synergistic and defect-free effects can inhibit the cell volume change and octahedral slip during the K-ion insertion/extraction process, so that the phase transformation behavior (monoclinic ↔ cubic) is effectively inhibited, achieving a zero-strain solid solution mechanism employing Fe and Mn as dual active-sites. Thus, KFMHCF-1/2 contributes the highest initial capacity of 155.3 mAh·g-1 with an energy density of 599.5 Wh·kg-1 at 10 mA·g-1 among the reported PBA cathodes, superior rate capability, and cyclic stability over 450 cycles. The assembled K-ion full battery using K deposited on graphite (K@G) as anode also delivers high reversible specific capacity of 131.1 mAh·g-1 at 20 mA·g-1 and ultralong lifespans over 1000 cycles at 50 mA·g-1 with the lowest capacity decay rate of 0.044% per cycle. This work will promote the rapid application of high-energy-density PIBs.

Abstract
High nickel cathode material LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NCM) (x ≥ 0.6) has represented the most critical material in virtue of outstanding specific capacity and low self-discharge. However, the high surface alkalinity and detrimental interfacial stability lead to the parasitic reaction and a series of phase deterioration. Herein, in situ cross-linking binder molecular chains with a 3D network structure to construct a stable and robust electrode-electrolyte interface, which can maintain the structural integrity and restrain side reactions is designed. Simultaneously, the cross-linked polymer can form stable hydrogen bonds with the pristine binder, greatly enhancing the bonding property. More importantly, the functional groups contained in the cross-linked co-polymers can chemically anchor transition metals, effectively preventing the dissolution of transition metals. Theoretical calculations confirm the feasibility and advancement of the anchoring mechanism, driving excellent structural stability and inhibition of the NiO impurity phase. This work provides a practical strategy to realize the high stability of cathode materials.

Abstract
Partial substitution of V by other transition metals in Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (NVP) can improve the electrochemical performance of NVP as a cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, phosphate Na-V-Mn-Ni-containing composites based on NASICON (Natrium Super Ionic Conductor)-type structure have been fabricated by sol-gel method. The synchrotron-based X-ray study, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies show that manganese/nickel combinations successfully substitute the vanadium in its site within certain limits. Among the received samples, composite based on Na3.83 V1.17 Mn0.58 Ni0.25 (PO4 )3 (VMN-0.5, 108.1 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C) shows the highest electrochemical ability. The cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic intermittent titration technique, in situ XRD, ex situ XPS, and bond valence site energy calculations exhibit the kinetic properties and the sodium storage mechanism of VMN-0.5. Moreover, VMN-0.5 electrode also exhibits excellent electrochemical performance in quasi-solid-state sodium metal batteries with PVDF-HFP quasi-solid electrolyte membranes. The presented work analyzes the advantages of VMN-0.5 and the nature of the substituted metal in relation to the electrochemical properties of the NASICON-type structure, which will facilitate further commercialization of SIBs.

Abstract
Effective separation of cathode materials from the current collector is a critical step in recycling a spent lithium-ion battery (LIB). This typically necessitates the decomposition or dissolution of the organic binder, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), to achieve efficient recovery of cathode materials. However, this process requires a high decomposition temperature, typically between 400 and 600 °C, and can lead to side reactions, such as current collector oxidation/brittleness, decomposition of cathode materials, and formation of metal fluorides. In this study, we propose that non-thermal plasma (NTP) treatment can be used to achieve an extremely high separation of cathode materials and aluminum current collector at near room temperature. Instead of relying on PVDF decomposition, which requires high temperatures, PVDF can be deactivated by partially breaking down long molecular chains with appropriate NTP conditions. With a total treatment time of around 2000 s and an environmental temperature of approximately 80 °C, minor side reactions can be avoided. The separation rate can reach up to 95.69%, and high-quality cathode materials can be obtained with only 0.02 wt % aluminum impurity content. This research could potentially offer a new approach toward minimizing recycling steps and reducing energy consumption in the recycling of spent LIBs. It could also be extended to the recovery of a broader range of electronic wastes.

Abstract
Efficient and affordable batteries require the design of novel organic electrode materials to overcome the drawbacks of the traditionally used inorganic materials, and the computational screening of potential candidates is a very efficient way to identify prospective solutions and minimize experimental testing. Here we present a DFT high-throughput computational screening where 86 million molecules contained in the PUBCHEM database have been analyzed and classified according to their estimated electrochemical features. The 5445 top-performing candidates were identified, and among them, 2306 are expected to have a one-electron reduction potential higher than 4 V versus (Li/Li+ ). Analogously, one-electron energy densities higher than 800 Whkg-1 have been predicted for 626 molecules. Explicit calculations performed for certain materials show that at least 69 candidates with a two-electron energy density higher than 1300 Whkg-1 . Successful molecules were sorted into several families, some of them already commonly used electrode materials, and others still experimentally untested. Most of them are small systems containing conjugated CO, NN, or NC functional groups. Our selected molecules form a valuable starting point for experimentalists exploring new materials for organic electrodes.

Abstract
Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) (NFPP) is regarded as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its low cost, easy manufacture, environmental purity, high structural stability, unique three-dimensional Na-ion diffusion channels, and appropriate working voltage. However, for NFPP, the low conductivity of electrons and ions limits their capacity and power density. The generation of NaFeP2O7 and NaFePO4 inhibits the diffusion of sodium ions and reduces reversible capacity and rate performance during the manufacturing process in synthesis methods. Herein, we report an entropy-driven approach to enhance the electronic conductivity and, concurrently, phase purity of NFPP as the superior cathode in sodium-ion batteries. This approach was realized via Ti ions substituting different ratios of Fe-occupied sites in the NFPP lattice (denoted as NTFPP-X, T is the Ti in the lattice, X is the ratio of Ti-substitution) with the configurational entropic increment of the lattice structures from 0.68 R to 0.79 R. Specifically, 5% Ti-substituted lattice (NTFPP-0.05) inducing entropic augmentation not only improves the electronic conductivity from 7.1 × 10-2 S/m to 8.6 × 10-2 S/m but also generates the pure-phase of NFPP (suppressing the impure phases of the NaFeP2O7 and NaFePO4) of the lattice structure, which is validated by a series of characterizations, including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT). Benefiting from the Ti replacement in the lattice, the optimal NTFPP-0.05 composite shows a high first discharge capacity (118.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C), superior rate performance (70.5 mAh g-1 at 10 C), and excellent long cycling life (1200 cycles at 10 C with capacity retention of 86.9%). This research proposes a new entropy-driven approach to improve the electrochemical performance of NFPP and reports a low-cost, ultrastable, and high-rate cathode material of NTFPP-0.05 for SIBs.

Abstract
Doping anions into LiFePO4 can improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries. In this study, structures, electronic properties and Li-ion migration of anion (F- , Cl- , and S2- ) doping into LiFePO4 were systematically investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. Anion substitution for oxygen atoms leads to an expansion of the LiFePO4 lattice, significantly facilitating Li-ion diffusion. For Cl- and F- anion doped into LiFePO4 , the energy barrier of Li-ion migration gets lowered to 0.209 eV and 0.283 eV from 0.572 eV. The introduction of anions narrows the forbidden band of LiFePO4 , enhancing its electronic conductivity. This work pays a way towards the rational design of high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Clever and rational design of structural hierarchy, along with precise component adjustment, holds profound significance for the construction of high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials. In this study, a binder-free self-supported CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF cathode material is constructed with hierarchical hetero-core-shell honeycomb nanostructure by first growing CuCo2 O4 (CCO) nanopin arrays uniformly on highly conductive nickel foam (NF) substrate, and then anchoring Ni0.5 Co0.5 (OH)2 (N0.5 C0.5 OH) bimetallic hydroxide nanosheet arrays on the CCO nanopin arrays by adjusting the molar ratio of Ni(OH)2 and Co(OH)2 . The constructed CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF electrode material showcases a wealth of multivalent metal ions and mesopores, along with good electrical conductivity, excellent electrochemical reaction rates, and robust long-term performance (capacitance retention rate of 87.2%). The CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF electrode, benefiting from the hierarchical structure of the material and the exceptional synergy between multiple components, demonstrates an excellent specific capacitance (2553.6 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 ). Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric CCO@N0.5 C0.5 OH/NF//AC/NF supercapacitor demonstrates a high energy density (70.1 Wh kg-1 at 850 W kg-1 ), and maintains robust capacitance cycling stability performance (83.7%) after undergoing 10 000 successive charges and discharges. It is noteworthy that the assembled supercapacitor exhibits an operating voltage (1.7 V) that is well above the theoretical value (1.5 V).

Abstract
Carbonyl aromatic compounds are promising cathode candidates for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their low weight and absence of cobalt and other metals, but they face constraints of limited redox-potential and low stability compared to traditional inorganic cathode materials. Herein, by means of first-principles calculations, a significant improvement of the electrochemical performance for carbonyl-bridged heterotriangulenes (CBHTs) is reported by introducing pyridinic N in their skeletons. Different center atoms (B, N, and P) and different types of functionalization with nitrogen effectively regulate the redox activity, conductivity, and solubility of CBHTs by influencing their electron affinity, energy levels of frontier orbitals and molecular polarity. By incorporating pyridinic N adjacent to the carbonyl groups, the electrochemical performance of N-functionalized CBHTs is significantly improved. Foremost, the estimated energy density reaches 1524 Wh kg-1 for carbonyl-bridged tri (3,5-pyrimidyl) borane, 50% higher than in the inorganic reference material LiCoO2 , rendering N-functionalized CBHTs promising organic cathode materials for LIBs. The investigation reveals the underlying structure-performance relationship of conjugated carbonyl compounds and sheds new lights for the rational design of redox-active organic molecules for high-performance lithium ion batteries (LIBs).

Abstract
Recently, aqueous zinc-ion batteries with conversion mechanisms have received wide attention in energy storage systems on account of excellent specific capacity, high power density, and energy density. Unfortunately, some characteristics of cathode material, zinc anode, and electrolyte still limit the development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries possessing conversion mechanism. Consequently, this paper provides a detailed summary of the development for numerous aqueous zinc-based batteries: zinc-sulfur (Zn-S) batteries, zinc-selenium (Zn-Se) batteries, zinc-tellurium (Zn-Te) batteries, zinc-iodine (Zn-I2 ) batteries, and zinc-bromine (Zn-Br2 ) batteries. Meanwhile, the reaction conversion mechanism of zinc-based batteries with conversion mechanism and the research progress in the investigation of composite cathode, zinc anode materials, and selection of electrolytes are systematically introduced. Finally, this review comprehensively describes the prospects and outlook of aqueous zinc-ion batteries with conversion mechanism, aiming to promote the rapid development of aqueous zinc-based batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) have emerged as a promising candidate for energy storage applications and have been extensively investigated over the past few years. Due to their high theoretical capacity, nature of abundance, and high safety, AIBs can be considered an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, the electrochemical performance of AIBs for large-scale applications is still limited due to the poor selection of cathode materials. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been regarded as appropriate cathode materials for AIBs due to their wide layer spacing, large surface area, and distinct physiochemical characteristics. This mini-review provides a succinct summary of recent research progress on TMD-based cathode materials in non-aqueous AIBs. The latest developments in the benefits of utilizing 3D-printed electrodes for AIBs are also explored.

Abstract
The steadily growing electric vehicle market is a driving force in low-cost, high-energy-density lithium-ion battery development. To meet this demand, LiNi0.975 Al0.025 O2 (LNA), a high-energy-density and cobalt-free cathode material, has been developed using a low-cost and efficient co-precipitation and lithiation process. This article explores how further processing (i.e., washing residual lithium from the secondary particle surface and applying a secondary heat treatment at 650 °C) changes the chemical environment of the surface and the electrochemical performance of the LNA cathode material. After washing, a nonconductive nickel oxide (NiO) phase is formed on the surface, decreasing the initial capacity in electrochemical tests, and suppressing high-voltage (H2) to (H3) phase transition results in enhanced cycle properties. Furthermore, the secondary heat treatment re-lithiates surface NiO back to LNAand increases the initial capacity with enhanced cycle properties. Electrochemical tests are performed with the cells without tap charge to suppress the H2 to H3 phase transition. Results reveal that avoiding charging cells at a high voltage for a long time dramatically improves LNA's cycle life. In addition, the gas analysis tests performed during charge and discharge to reveal how the amount of residual lithium compounds on the surface affects gas formation are studied.

Abstract
Reversible three-electron redox of Cr3+ /Cr6+ in layered cathode materials for rechargeable batteries is very attractive in layered cathode materials, which leads to high capacity and energy density for rechargeable batteries. However, the poor reversibility and Cr-ion migration make it very challenging. In this work, by introducing V ions into tetrahedral sites of layer-structured NaCrO2 , reversible three-electron redox of Cr3+ /Cr6+ is realized successfully in NaCr0.92 V0.05 O2 (NCV05) cathode for potassium-ion batteries with a cut-off voltage of 4.0 V. V ions can weaken the attraction of Cr to electrons, leading to enhanced valence change of Cr ions. On the other hand, V in tetrahedral sites can facilitate the reversible migration of Cr between octahedral and tetrahedral sites via coulombic repulsion to realize the reversible redox between Cr3+ and Cr6+ during charge and discharge processes. In addition, V ions can inhibit the phase transition from O3 phase to O'3 phase during the charge process by adjusting the crystal lattices. As a result, the NaCr0.92 V0.05 O2 cathode exhibits a high reversible capacity of 130 mAh g-1 with promising cycle stability and rate capability. The strategy opens new opportunity for developing high-capacity cathode materials for potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Cobalt, nickel, manganese and zinc vanadates were synthesized by a hydrometallurgical two-phase method. The extraction of vanadium (V) ions from alkaline solution using Aliquat® 336 was followed by the production of metal vanadates through precipitation stripping. Precipitation stripping was carried out using solutions of the corresponding metal ions (Ni (II), Co (II), Mn (II) and Zn (II), 0.05 mol/L in 4 mol/L NaCl), and the addition time of the strip solution was varied (0, 1 and 2 h). The time-dependent experiments showed a notable influence on the composition, structure, morphology and crystallinity of the two-dimensional vanadate products. Inspired by these findings, we selected two metallic vanadate products and studied their properties as alternative cathode materials for nonaqueous sodium and lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Recently, the application of LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries in electric vehicles has attracted extensive attention from researchers. This work presents a composite of LFP particles trapped in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets obtained through the high-temperature reduction strategy. The obtained LiFePO4/rGO composites indicate spherical morphology and uniform particles. As to the structure mode of the composite, LFP distributes in the interlayer structure of rGO, and the rGO evenly covers the surface of the particles. The LFP/rGO cathodes demonstrate a reversible specific capacity of 165 mA h g-1 and high coulombic efficiency at 0.2 C, excellent rate capacity (up to 10 C), outstanding long-term cycling stability (98%) after 1000 cycles at 5 C. The combined high electron conductivity of the layered rGO coating and uniform LFP particles contribute to the remarkable electrochemical performance of the LFP/rGO composite. The unique LFP/rGO cathode provides a potential application in high-power lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) show great potential in large-scale energy storage systems, due to Mg2+ with high polarity leading to strong interactions within the cathode lattice, and the limited discovery of functional cathode materials with rapid kinetics of Mg2+ diffusion and desirable cyclability retards their development. Herein, we innovatively report the confined synthesis of VS2/polyaniline (VS2/PANI) hybrid nanosheets. The VS2/PANI hybrids with expanded interlayer spacing are successfully prepared through the exfoliation of VS2 and in situ polymerization between VS2 nanosheets and aniline. The intercalated PANI increases the interlayer spacing of VS2 from 0.57 to 0.95 nm and improves its electronic conductivity, leading to rapid Mg-ion diffusivity of 10-10-10-12 cm2 s-1. Besides, the PANI sandwiched between layers of VS2 is conducive to maintaining the structural integrity of electrode materials. Benefiting from the above advantages, the VS2/PANI-1 hybrids present remarkable performance for Mg2+ storage, showing high reversible discharge capacity (245 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1) and impressive long lifespan (91 mA h g-1 after 2000 cycles at 500 mA g-1). This work provides new perspectives for designing high-performance cathode materials based on layered materials for RMBs.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn)-based layer-structured transition metal oxides are considered as excellent cathode materials for potassium ion batteries (KIBs) owing to their low theoretical cost and high voltage plateau. The energy density and cycling lifetime, however, cannot simultaneously satisfy the basic requirements of the market for energy storage systems. One of the primary causes results from the complex structural transformation and transition metal migration during the ion intercalation and deintercalation process. The orbital and electronic structure of the octahedral center metal element plays an important role for maintaining the octahedral structural integrity and improving the K+ diffusivity by the introduced heterogeneous [Me-O] chemical bonding. A multitransition metal oxide, P3-type K0.5Mn0.85Co0.05Fe0.05Al0.05O2 (KMCFAO), was synthesized and employed as a cathode material for KIBs. Beneficial from the larger layer spacing for K+ to better accommodate and effectively preventing the irreversible structural transformation in the insertion/extraction process, it can reach a superior capacity retention up to 96.8% after 300 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g-1. The full cell of KMCFAO//hard carbon exhibits an encouraging promising energy density of 113.8 W h kg-1 at 100 mA g-1 and a capacity retention of 72.6% for 500 cycles.

Abstract
Solution combustion synthesis (SCS) is considered as an efficient and energy-saving method for preparing LiFePO4/C composite material with the nanostructure (Nano-LiFePO4/C). In this study, Nano-LiFePO4/C cathode material was prepared using SCS using a cost-effective combination of urea and sorbitol as mixed fuels. The effect of mixed fuels on combustion behavior and microstructure as well as on electrochemical performance was studied using XRD, BET, SEM, TEM, and electrochemical characterization methods. Multiple characterization results indicated that the maximum temperature (Tm) and particle size were influenced by the usage of urea and sorbitol. The sample derived under optimum conditions exhibits a mesoporous nanostructure with a large surface specific area and attractive electrochemical performance with a discharge capacity of 153.5 mAh/g at 0.1 C, which shows strong potential for commercial applications in the future.

Abstract
Na-superionic-conductor (NASICON)-type cathodes (e.g., Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 ) have attracted extensive attention due to their open and robust framework, fast Na+ mobility, and superior thermal stability. To commercialize sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), higher energy density and lower cost requirements are urgently needed for NASICON-type cathodes. Herein, Na3.5 V1.5 Fe0.5 (PO4 )3 (NVFP) is designed by an Fe-substitution strategy, which not only reduces the exorbitant cost of vanadium, but also realizes high-voltage multielectron reactions. The NVFP cathode can deliver extraordinary capacity (148.2 mAh g-1 ), and decent cycling durability up to 84% after 10 000 cycles at 100 C. In situ X-ray diffraction and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations reveal reversible structural evolution and redox processes (Fe2+ /Fe3+ , V3+ /V4+ , and V4+ /V5+ ) during electrochemical reactions. The low ionic-migration energy barrier and ideal Na+ -diffusion kinetics are elucidated by density functional theory calculations. Combined with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fe with unpaired electrons in the 3d orbital is inseparable from the higher-valence redox activation. More competitively, coupling with a hard carbon (HC) anode, HC//NVFP full cells demonstrate high-rate capability and long-duration cycling lifespan (3000 stable cycles at 50 C), along with material-level energy density up to 304 Wh kg-1 . The present work can provide new perspectives to accelerate the commercialization of SIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are promising energy storage devices due to their low cost, good ionic conductivity, and high safety. Conductive polyaniline is a promising cathode because of its redox activity, but because the neutral electrolyte protonates only weakly, it displays limited electrochemical activity. A polyaniline cathode is developed with proton self-doping from manganese metal-organic frameworks (Mn-MOFs) that alleviates the deprotonation and electrochemical activity concerns arising during the charge/discharge process. The MOFs carboxyl group provides protons to prevent deprotonation and allows the polyaniline to reach a high zinc storage redox activity. The proton self-doped polyaniline cathode has a superior specific capacity (273 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 ), a high rate property (154 mAh g-1 at 20 A g-1 ), and excellent cyclability retention (87% over 4000 cycles at 15 A g-1 ). This research provides fresh insight into the development of innovative polymers as cathode materials for high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Sodium (Na)-ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as a potential device for large-scale energy storage. To date, some start-up companies have released their first-generation SIBs cathode materials. Among them, phosphate compounds, particularly iron (Fe)-based mixed phosphate compounds, present great potential for commercial SIBs owing to its low cost, environment friendly. In this perspective, a brief historical retrospect is first introduce to the development of Fe-based mixed phosphate cathodes in SIBs. Then, the recent development about this kind of cathode has been summarized. One of the iron-based phosphate materials, Na3 Fe2 (PO4 )P2 O7 , is used as an example to roughly calculate the energy density and estimate the cost at the cell level to highlight their advantages. Finally, some strategies are put up to further increase the energy density of SIBs. This timely perspective aims to educate the community on the critical benefits of the Fe-based mixed phosphate cathode and provide an up-to-date overview of this emerging field.

Abstract
Manganese hexacyanoferrate is a promising cathode material for lithium and sodium ion batteries, however, it suffers of capacity fading during the cycling process. To access the structural and functional characteristics at the nanometer scale, fresh and cycled electrodes are extracted and investigated by transmission soft X-ray microscopy, which allows chemical characterization with spatial resolution from position-dependent x-ray spectra at the Mn L-, Fe L- and N K-edges. Furthermore, soft X-rays prove to show superior sensitivity toward Fe, compare to hard X-rays. Inhomogeneities within the samples are identified, increasing in the aged electrodes, more dramatically in the Li-ion system, which explains the poorer cycle life as Li-ion cathode material. Local spectra, revealing different oxidation states over the sample with strong correlation between the Fe L-edge, Mn L-edge, and N K-edge, imply a coupling between redox centers and an electron delocalization over the host framework.

Abstract
Nickel-rich (Ni-rich) layered oxides are considered as the most promising cathode candidates for lithium-ion cells owing to their high theoretical specific capacity. However, the higher nickel content endows structural deformation through unwanted phase transitions and parasitic side reactions that lead to capacity fading upon prolonged cycling. Hence, a deep understanding of the chemistry and structural behaviour is essential for developing Ni-rich Lithium Nickel Cobalt Manganese oxide (NCM) cathode-based high-energy batteries. The present review focuses on the different challenges associated with Ni-rich NCM materials and surface modification as a strategy to solve the issues associated with NCM materials, assessment of several coating materials, and the recent developments in the surface modification of Ni-rich NCMs, with an in-depth discussion on the impact of coating on the degradation mechanism.

Abstract
Nitrate-to-ammonia electrochemical conversion is important for decreasing water pollution and increasing the production of valuable ammonia. However, achieving high ammonium production without undesirable byproducts is difficult. Cu-doped MIL-88-derived bimetallic oxide catalysts with electrocatalytically active Fe-O-Cu bridges, which have high NO3- adsorption energy and facilitate N-intermediate hydrogenation, are developed for NH4+ production. Cu doping promotes hybridization between the O 2p of NO3- and Fe-Cu 3d, facilitating the adsorption and reduction of NO3- with a low Tafel slope (62.1 mV dec-1) and high ammonia yield (1698.8 μg·h-1·cm-2). The cathode efficiency is stable for seven cycles. Cu adjacent to Fe sites inhibits hydrogen evolution, promotes NO3- adsorption, and decreases the intermediate adsorption energy barrier. This study provides new opportunities for fabricating diverse binary metal oxides with new interfaces as efficient cathode materials for selective electroreduction.

Abstract
Emerging energy storage systems have received significant attention along with the development of renewable energy, thereby creating a green energy platform for humans. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are commonly used, such as in smartphones, tablets, earphones, and electric vehicles. However, lithium has certain limitations including safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental issues. Sodium is believed to be an ideal replacement for lithium owing to its infinite abundance, safety, low cost, environmental friendliness, and energy storage behavior similar to that of lithium. Inhered in the achievement in the development of LIBs, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have rapidly evolved to be commercialized. Among the cathode, anode, and electrolyte, the cathode remains a significant challenge for achieving a stable, high-rate, and high-capacity device. In this review, recent advances in the development and optimization of cathode materials, including inorganic, organometallic, and organic materials, are discussed for SIBs. In addition, the challenges and strategies for enhancing the stability and performance of SIBs are highlighted.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries have important application prospects in large-scale energy storage due to their advantages, such as safety, affordability, and abundant resources. Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) have a stable and open framework structure, making them a very promising cathode material. However, high-performance manganese-based Prussian blue cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries still suffer from significant challenges due to several key issues, such as a high number of vacancy defects and a high crystal water content. This article investigates the effects of the Fe-Mn molar ratio, Mn ion concentration, and reaction time on the electrochemical performance of MnHCF during the coprecipitation process. When Fe:Mn = 1:2, c(Mn2+) = 0.02 mol/L, and the reaction time is 12 h, the content of interstitial water molecules in the sample is low, and the Fe(CN)6 defects are few. At 0.1 C, the prepared electrode has a high initial discharge specific capacity (121.9 mAh g-1), and after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, the capacity retention rate is 65% (~76.2 mAh g-1). Meanwhile, the sample electrode exhibits excellent reversibility. The discharge capacity can still be maintained at around 75% when the magnification is restored from 5 C to 0.1 C. The improvement in performance is mainly attributed to two aspects: On the one hand, reducing the Fe(CN)6 defects and crystal water content is conducive to the diffusion and stable structure of N. On the other hand, reducing the reaction rate can significantly delay the crystallization of materials and optimize the nucleation process.

Abstract
Mn-based layered oxides have been considered the most promising cathode candidates for cost-effective potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Herein, equiatomic constituents of Ni, Fe, Mg, and Ti have been introduced into the transition metal layers of Mn-based layered oxide to design a high-entropy K0.6Ni0.05Fe0.05Mg0.05Ti0.05Mn0.0725O2 (HE-KMO, S = 1.17R). Consequently, the experimental results manifest that the layered structure of HE-KMO is more stable than conventional low-entropy K0.6MnO2 (LE-KMO, S = 0.66R) during successive cycling and even upon exposure to moisture. Diffraction and electrochemical measurements reveal that HE-KMO undergoes a solid-solution mechanism, contrary to the multistage phase transition processes typically exemplified in K0.6MnO2. Benefiting from the stabilized high-entropy layered framework and the solid-solution K+ storage mechanism, the entropy-stabilized HE-KMO not only demonstrates exceptional rate capability but also shows excellent cyclic stability. Notably, a capacity retention ratio of 86% after 3000 cycles can still be sustained at a remarkable current density of 5000 mA g-1.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have shown great potential as energy storage devices due to their low price and abundant sodium content. Among them, O3-type layered oxides are a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries; however, most of them suffer from slow kinetics and unfavorable structural stability, which seriously hinder their practical application. O3-NaNi0.3Fe0.2Mn0.5O2 surface modification is performed by a simple wet chemical method of coating NaTi2(PO4)3 on the surface. The NASICON-type NaTi2(PO4)3 coating layer has a special three-dimensional channel, which facilitates the rapid migration of Na+, and the NaTi2(PO4)3 coating layer also prevents direct contact between the electrode and the electrolyte, ensuring the stability of the interface. In addition, the NaTi2(PO4)3 coating layer induces part of the Ti4+ doping into the transition metal layer of NaNi0.3Fe0.2Mn0.5O2, which increases the stability of the transition metal layer and reduces the resistance of Na+ diffusion. More importantly, the NaTi2(PO4)3 coating layer can suppress the O3-P3 phase transition and reduce the volume change of the materials throughout the charge/discharge process. Thus, the NaTi2(PO4)3 coating layer can effectively improve the electrochemical performance of the cathode materials. The NFM@NTP3 has a capacity retention of 86% (2.0-4.0 V vs Na+/Na, 300 cycles) and 85% (2.0-4.2 V vs Na+/Na, 100 cycles) at 1C and a discharge capacity of 107 mAh g-1 (2.0-4.0 V vs Na+/Na) and 125 mAh g-1 (2.0-4.2 V vs Na+/Na) at 10C, respectively. Therefore, this surface modification strategy provides a simple and effective way to design and develop high-performance layered oxide cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are expected to be an attractive alternative in advanced energy storage devices due to large abundance and dependable security. Nevertheless, the undesirable energy density and operating voltage still hinder the development of AZIBs, which is intimately associated with the fundamental properties of the cathode. In this work, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) intercalated Mn0.07 VOx (PVP-MnVO) with a large interlayer spacing of 13.5 Å (against 12.5 Å for MnVO) synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method is adopted for the cathode in AZIBs. The experimental results demonstrate that PVP-MnVO with expanded interlayer spacing provides beneficial channels for the rapid diffusion of Zn2+ , resulting in a high discharge capacity of 402 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , superior to that of MnVO (275 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ). Meanwhile, the PVP molecule remains in the layer structure as a binder/pillar, which can maintain its structural integrity well during the charging/discharging process. Consequently, PVP-MnVO cathode exhibits superior rate capability and cycling stability (89% retention after 4300 cycles at 10 A g-1 ) compared to that of MnVO (≈51% retention over 500 cycles at 2 A g-1 ). This work proposes a new approach to optimize the performance of vanadium-based electrode materials in AZIBs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted tremendous attentions in recent years due to the abundance and wide distribution of Na resource on the earth. However, SIBs still face the critical issues of low energy density and unsatisfactory cyclic stability at present. The enhancement of electrochemical performance of SIBs depends on comprehensive and precise understanding of the underlying sodium storage mechanism. Although extensive transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations have been performed to reveal the sodium storage property and mechanism of SIBs, a dedicated review on the in situ TEM investigations of SIBs has not been reported. In this review, recent progress in the in situ TEM investigations on the morphological, structural, and chemical evolutions of cathode materials, anode materials, and solid-electrolyte interface during the sodium storage of SIBs is comprehensively summarized. The detailed relationship between structure/composition of electrode materials and electrochemical performance of SIBs has been clarified. This review aims to provide insights into the effective selection and rational design of advanced electrode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Stacking order plays a key role in defining the electrochemical behavior and structural stability of layer-structured cathode materials. However, the detailed effects of stacking order on anionic redox in layer-structured cathode materials have not been investigated specifically and are still unrevealed. Herein, two layered cathodes with the same chemical formula but different stacking orders: P2-Na0.75 Li0.2 Mn0.7 Cu0.1 O2 (P2-LMC) and P3-Na0.75 Li0.2 Mn0.7 Cu0.1 O2 (P3-LMC) are compared. It is found that P3 stacking order is beneficial to improve the oxygen redox reversibility compared with P2 stacking order. By using synchrotron hard and soft X-ray absorption spectroscopies, three redox couples of Cu2+ /Cu3+ , Mn3.5+ /Mn4+ , and O2- /O- are revealed to contribute charge compensation in P3 structure simultaneously, and two redox couples of Cu2+ /Cu3+ and O2- /O- are more reversible than those in P2-LMC due to the higher electronic densities in Cu 3d and O 2p orbitals in P3-LMC. In situ X-ray diffraction reveals that P3-LMC exhibits higher structural reversibility during charge and discharge than P2-LMC, even at 5C rate. As a result, P3-LMC delivers a high reversible capacity of 190.3 mAh g-1 and capacity retention of 125.7 mAh g-1 over 100 cycles. These findings provide new insight into oxygen-redox-involved layered cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
To ensure the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), a rational design and optimization of suitable cathode materials are crucial. Lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxides (NCM) represent one of the most popular cathode materials for commercial LIBs. However, they are limited by several critical issues, such as transition metal dissolution, formation of an unstable cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer, chemical instability upon air exposure, and mechanical instability. In this work, coating fabricated by self-assembly of osmotically delaminated sodium fluorohectorite (Hec) nanosheets onto NCM (Hec-NCM) in a simple and technically benign aqueous wet-coating process is reported first. Complete wrapping of NCM by high aspect ratio (>10 000) nanosheets is enabled through an electrostatic attraction between Hec nanosheets and NCM as well as by the superior mechanical flexibility of Hec nanosheets. The coating significantly suppresses mechanical degradation while forming a multi-functional CEI layer. Consequently, Hec-NCM delivers outstanding capacity retention for 300 cycles. Furthermore, due to the exceptional gas barrier properties of the few-layer Hec-coating, the electrochemical performance of Hec-NCM is maintained even after 6 months of exposure to the ambient atmosphere. These findings suggest a new direction of significantly improving the long-term stability and activity of cathode materials by creating an artificial CEI layer.

Abstract
As the price of the precious metal cobalt continues to rise, there is an urgent need for a cobalt-free or low-cobalt electrode material to reduce the cost of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used commercially, while maintaining their performance as much as possible. With the introduction of the new concept of high entropy (HE) materials into the battery field, low cobalt and cobalt free HE novel lithium-ion batteries have attracted great attention. It possesses important research value to use HE materials to reduce the use of cobalt metal in electrode materials. In this perspective, the comparison between the new cathode materials of low cobalt and cobalt-free HE lithium-ion battery and traditional cathode materials and the latest progress in maintaining structural stability and conductivity are introduced. It is believed that low cobalt and cobalt-free and HE layered oxides can be used to replace the function of cobalt in the cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries. Finally, the future research directions and the synthesis method of HE cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries are also discussed.

Abstract
The particle morphology of LiNiO2 (LNO), the final product of Co-free high-Ni layered oxide cathode materials, must be engineered to prevent the degradation of electrochemical performance caused by the H2-H3 phase transition. Introducing a small amount of dopant oxides (Nb2O5 as an example) during the electrolysis synthesis of the Ni(OH)2 precursor facilitates the engineering of the primary particles of LNO, which is quick, simple, and inexpensive. In addition to the low concentration of Nb that entered the lattice structure, a combination of advanced characterizations indicates that the obtained LNO cathode material contains a high concentration of Nb in the primary particle boundaries in the form of lithium niobium oxide. This electrolysis method facilitated LNO (EMF-LNO) engineering successfully, reducing primary particle size and increasing particle packing density. Therefore, the EMF-LNO cathode material with engineered morphology exhibited increased mechanical strength and electrical contact, blocked electrolyte penetration during cycling, and reduced the H2-H3 phase transition effects.

Abstract
In the past decade, in the context of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality era, the rapid development of new energy vehicles has led to higher requirements for the performance of strike forces such as battery cycle life, energy density, and cost. Lithium-ion batteries have gradually become mainstream in electric vehicle power batteries due to their excellent energy density, rate performance, and cycle life. At present, the most widely used cathode materials for power batteries are lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and LixNiyMnzCo1-y-zO2 cathodes (NCM). However, these materials exhibit bottlenecks that limit the improvement and promotion of power battery performance. In this review, the performance characteristics, cycle life attenuation mechanism (including structural damage, gas generation, and active lithium loss, etc.), and improvement methods (including surface coating and element-doping modification) of LFP and NCM batteries are reviewed. Finally, the development prospects of this field are proposed.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) attract research interest owing to the low cost and high reliability, but the design of cathode materials is the major difficulty of their development. The bivalent magnesium cation suffers from a strong interaction with the anion and is difficult to intercalate into traditional magnesium intercalation cathodes. Herein, an amorphous molybdenum polysulfide (a-MoSx ) is synthesized via a simple one-step solvothermal reaction and used as the cathode material for RMBs. The a-MoSx cathode provides a high capacity (185 mAh g-1 ) and a good rate performance (50 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 ), which are much superior compared with crystalline MoS2 and demonstrate the privilege of amorphous RMB cathodes. A mechanism study demonstrates both of molybdenum and sulfur undergo redox reactions and contribute to the capacity. Further optimizations indicate low-temperature synthesis would favor the magnesium storage performance of a-MoSx .

Abstract
Layered transition metal oxides are promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their high energy density and appropriate operating potential. However, the poor structural stability is a major drawback to their widespread application. To address this issue, B3+ is successfully introduced into the tetrahedral site of Na0.67 Fe0.5 Mn0.5 O2 , demonstrating the effectiveness of small-radius ion doping in improving electrochemical performance. The obtained Na0.67 Fe0.5 Mn0.5 B0.04 O2 exhibits excellent cycling performance with 88.8% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C and prominent rate performance. The structure-property relationship is constructed subsequently by neutron powder diffraction, in situ X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which reveal that the Jahn-Teller distortion and the consequent P2-P2' phase transformation are effectively mitigated because of the occupancy of B3+ at the interstitial site. Furthermore, it is found that the transition metal layers are stabilized and the transition metal dissolution are suppressed, resulting in excellent cycling performance. Besides, the prominent rate performance is attributed to the enhanced diffusion kinetics associated with the rearrangement of Na+ . This work provides novel insight into the action mechanism of interstitial site doping and demonstrates a universal approach to improve the electrochemical properties of P2-type manganese-based sodium cathode materials.

Abstract
The development of coordination polymers with π-d conjugation (CCPs) provides ide prospects for exploring the next generation of environmental-friendliness energy storage systems. Herein, the synthesis, experimental characterizations, and Na-ion storage mechanism of π-d CCPs with multiple-active sites are reported, which use quinone-fused aza-phenazine (AP) and aza-phenazin (AP) as the organic ligands coordinated with the metal center (Ni2+ ). Among them, NiQAP as the cathode material exhibits impressive electrochemical properties applied in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), including the high initial/stable discharge specific capacities (180.0/225.6 mAh g-1 ) at 0.05 A g-1 , a long-term cycle stability up to 10,000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 with a high reversible capacity of 100.1 mAh g-1 , and good rate capability of 99.6 mAh g-1 even at 5.0 A g-1 . Moreover, the Na-ion storage mechanism of NiQAP is also performed by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation, showing multiple-active sites of C≐O and C≐N (in the quinone and phenazine structure) and NiO4 (in the coordination unit) for Na-ion storage. These results highlight the importance of organic electrode material with the coordination units and provide a foundation for further studying the CCPs with multiple active sites for energy storage systems.

Abstract
MnO2 has the advantages of low cost and abundant resources, so it is considered to be an important electrode material in zinc ion batteries. However, its practical application is still challenged by easy collapse and capacity loss. In this paper, a stable single crystal β-MnO2 nanorod cathode material was prepared. When used as ZIBs cathode material, single crystal β-MnO2 has high ionic diffusion kinetics and calculability. In this paper, we prepared single-crystal MnO2 through hydrothermal nanotechnology. By leveraging the benefits of the single-crystal structure, we optimized the structural stability, ion conductivity, surface reactions, and phase control of the cathode material, resulting in improved battery performance and cycle life. In the fabricated single-crystal MnO2 aqueous zinc-ion battery, the elimination of internal crystal faces in MnO2 leads to ordered lattice arrangement, enabling a more direct and unobstructed diffusion path for H+ ions within the lattice. This significantly enhances the ion conductivity of the cathode material, promoting the rate and efficiency of the battery's charge and discharge processes. Therefore, single-crystal MnO2 exhibits excellent cycling performance for zinc-ion storage in ZIBs, achieving a high specific capacity of 224.7 mA h g-1 after 250 cycles under a current density of 0.3 A g-1 , while maintaining a Coulombic efficiency of 99.58 %.

Abstract
Sodium layered oxides always suffer from sluggish kinetics and deleterious phase transformations at deep-desodiation state (i.e., >4.0 V) in O3 structure, incurring inferior rate capability and grievous capacity degradation. To tackle these handicaps, here, a configurational entropy tuning protocol through manipulating the stoichiometric ratios of inactive cations is proposed to elaborately design Na-deficient, O3-type NaxTmO2 cathodes. It is found that the electrons surrounding the oxygen of the TmO6 octahedron are rearranged by the introduction of MnO6 and TiO6 octahedra in Na-deficient O3-type Na0.83Li0.1Ni0.25Co0.2Mn0.15Ti0.15Sn0.15O2-δ (MTS15) with expanded O-Na-O slab spacing, giving enhanced Na+ diffusion kinetics and structural stability, as disclosed by theoretical calculations and electrochemical measurements. Concomitantly, the entropy effect contributes to the improved reversibility of Co redox and phase-transition behaviors between O3 and P3, as clearly revealed by ex situ synchrotron X-ray absorption spectra and in situ X-ray diffraction. Notably, the prepared entropy-tuned MTS15 cathode exhibits impressive rate capability (76.7% capacity retention at 10 C), cycling stability (87.2% capacity retention after 200 cycles) with a reversible capacity of 109.4 mAh g-1, good full-cell performance (84.3% capacity retention after 100 cycles), and exceptional air stability. This work provides an idea for how to design high-entropy sodium layered oxides for high-power density storage systems.

Abstract
This study explores the relationships between material quench rate during processing and the resulting structural and electrochemical properties of Li[Ni0.25 Li0.167 Mn0.583 ]O2 . Samples of this lithium-rich material are prepared with highly contrasting postfiring cooling methods: a rapid water emersion quench or closed-door oven cooling. The contrasting approaches result in samples with different structural, chemical, and electrochemical behaviors; after cycling the rapidly quenched material yields greater capacity, greater stability, and initially lower, but more stable voltages than the slower cooled samples. Through the use of scanning tunneling electron microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) it is demonstrated that rapidly quenched powders are more structurally uniform and chemically homogenous before cycling. By comparing these precycling sample to postcycling samples, it is then examined how this increased structural uniformity and chemical homogeneity leads to the superior electrochemical properties of the rapidly quenched samples.

Abstract
The development of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) still faces a huge challenge due to poor cycling stability and slow kinetics of the cathode material. In this work, we report an advanced cathode of Ti4+/Zr4+ as dual-supporting sites in Na3V2(PO4)3 with an expanded crystal structure, exceptional conductivity, and superior structural stability for AZIBs, which exhibits fast Zn2+ diffusion and excellent performance. The results of AZIBs afford remarkably high cycling stability (91.2% retention rate over 4000 cycles) and exceptional energy density (191.3 W h kg-1), outperforming most Na+ superionic conductor (NASICON)-type cathodes. Furthermore, different in/ex situ characterization techniques and theoretical studies reveal the reversible storage mechanism of Zn2+ in an optimal Na2.9V1.9Ti0.05Zr0.05(PO4)3 (NVTZP) cathode and demonstrate that Na+ defects together with Ti4+/Zr4+ sites can intrinsically contribute to the high electrical conductivity and low Na+/Zn2+ diffusion energy barrier of NVTZP. Moreover, the flexible soft-packaged batteries further demonstrate a superior capacity retention rate of 83.2% after 2000 cycles from the perspective of practicality.
