“…To highlight the merits of our designed Ni//Zn battery, its optimal energy and power densities were compared to those of previously reported aqueous energy storage devices in Figure 5 a. Specifically, a remarkable energy density of 4.29 mWh cm −2 (728 W h kg −1 ; based on the mass of active material in the cathode) overmatched the majority of recently reported Zn‐based batteries (Tables S1 and S2, Supporting Information), such as Poly(1,5‐NAPD)/AC//Zn (3.2 mWh cm −2 at ≈0.41 mW cm −2 ), [ 53 ] MnO 2 //Zn (2.71 mWh cm −2 at 5.47 mW cm −2 ), [ 54 ] Ni@NiO//Zn (0.754 mWh cm −2 at 14.29 mW cm −2 ), [ 22 ] Ni,Zn–MgCo 2 O 4 //Zn (1.158 mWh cm −2 at 3.0 mW cm −2 ; 120.4 W h kg −1 at 0.312 KW kg −1 ), [ 55 ] P–NiCo 2 O 4‐ x //Zn (0.407 mWh cm −2 at 3.40 mW cm −2 ; 616.5 W h kg −1 at 5.15 KW kg −1 ), [ 16 ] CuV 2 O 6 //Zn (317 W h kg −1 at 0.21 KW kg −1 ), [ 8 ] and PANI/CF//Zn (389 W h kg −11 at ≈0.427 KW kg −1 ). [ 56 ] Encouragingly, its area power density of 52.5 mW cm −2 , even exceeded many recently reported state‐of‐the‐art ASCs (Table S3, Supporting Information), such as the S–α–Fe 2 O 3 @C//NaMnO 2 (22.0 mW cm −2 ), [ 57 ] g–C 3 N 4 //g–C 3 N 4 (12.5 mW cm −2 ), [ 58 ] NiCo‐LDH//AC (22.1 mW cm −2 ), [ 59 ] manifesting the rapid charge–discharge properties of the Ni//Zn battery.…”

Advanced Ni//Zn batteries possess great promise that combines battery‐level energy density and capacitor‐level power density. However, the surface chemical reactivity of the cathode is generally restricted by active material utilization, leading to an insensitive edge site and unsatisfactory capacity. Herein, a simple and energy‐saving strategy is reported for manipulating the bimetallic sulfide nanointerfaces via water invoking interface corrosion to achieve a 200% increase in the capacity of electrodes. The combined action of water and oxygen causes secondary in situ growth of NiCo–OH nanosheet coating layers on the CoxNi3‐xS2 nanowalls with surface enrichment of low‐valence mixed states, which deliver remarkable reactive activity and structural stability. As a result, the 3D cathode yields an ultrahigh capacity of 2.45 mAh cm−2, higher than that of the pristine nanomaterial (1.20 mAh cm−2). The resulting Ni//Zn battery with excellent reversibility and long‐life, achieves a remarkable energy density of 4.29 mWh cm−2 (728 Wh kg−1), which is superior to most recently reported aqueous Zn‐based batteries and is even comparable to Li‐ion batteries. This work explores the interface corrosion mechanism and corrosion‐surface activity relationship, which is a powerful strategy to construct high surface electrochemical activity of metallic sulfides/phosphides for renewable energy storage devices.

Organic electroactive compounds are attractive to serve as the cathode materials of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) because of their resource renewability, environmentally friendliness and structural diversity. Up to now, various organic electrode materials have been developed and different redox mechanisms are observed in aqueous Zn/organic battery systems. In this Minireview, we present the recent developments in the energy storage mechanisms and design of the organic electrode materials of aqueous ZIBs, including carbonyl compounds, imine compounds, conductive polymers, nitronyl nitroxides, organosulfur polymers and triphenylamine derivatives. Furthermore, we highlight the design strategies to improve their electrochemical performance in the aspects of specific capacity, output voltage, cycle life and rate capability. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives of aqueous Zn/organic batteries.

“…morphology, while 2D materials mainly refer to the sheet like morphology. [196,[260][261][262][263] From the perspective of transport kinetics, although both of 1D and 2D materials have their own advantages, however, the limitation of 1D transport dimensions and self-stacking issue of 2D materials would inevitably weaken the reaction kinetics, especially for the thick electrode with high mass load. [78,[264][265] To beyond that, the construction of hierarchical 3D cathode materials with efficient transport kinetics is desirable, and their fabrication can be usually realized by either based on the rational combination of 0D and/or 1D and/or 2D materials, or directly using template methods.…”

have also greatly aroused the positive exploration of alternative LIB technologies in recent years. [44] In contrast to the flammable organic electrolyte in LIBs, the aqueous one exhibits lower cost, higher safety, and especially the superior ionic conductivity, which is generally two orders of magnitude higher than that of the organic system. [9,10] All those unparalleled advantages would make the aqueous battery technologies to be the promising candidates in the future. [11] Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), which is mainly composed of zinc metal anode, zinc salt-based aqueous electrolyte, and Zn 2+ host cathode, hold the great promise for energy storage applications in very recent years. [12,13] Compared with nonaqueous alkali-ion batteries, the use of cheap and high ambient stable zinc metal anode and inexpensive aqueous electrolyte with superior ionic conductivity (Figure 1a) would make such type of battery to be one of the most promising commercial candidates in the future market. [14-17] To date, extensive studies have been reported for AZIBs, and relating publications have dramatically increased especially in these two years, as shown in Figure 1b. However, the insufficient energy density seems to become the bottleneck that hinder their practical applications at current status. [4,5,18] Such issue could be ascribed to the narrow operating voltage of aqueous electrolyte, insufficient electrochemical performance of cathode materials, and Zn anode. [13,19,20] Besides, the influence of other components such as separator and collector also should be considered to some extent. [20,21] Among them, the studies of widening operating voltage of electrolyte and the optimization of other components only received less attention, which still remain at the early stage. [22,23] On the contrary, more attentions were paid to the electrochemical performance tuning of electrode materials. [24-26] Besides, considering the fixed operating voltage of Zn metal anode, the modification of cathode materials seems to provide more possibilities to effectively improve the energy density of AZIBs, owing to their rich material systems. [20,26,27] Under these considerations, the rational design of advanced cathodes is expected to be a preferential task to develop. Up to now, many types of materials have been exploited as cathode candidates and applied for AZIBs, however, those Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have attracted extensive attention and are considered to be promising energy storage devices, owing to their low cost, eco-friendliness, and high security. However, insufficient energy density has become the bottleneck for practical applications, which is greatly influenced by their cathodes and makes the exploration of high-performance cathodes still a great challenge. This review underscores the recent advances in the rational design of advanced cathodes for AZIBs. The review starts with a brief summary and evaluation of cathode material systems, as well as the introduction of proposed storage mechani...
