“…However, the non-continuous supply of these renewable resources has sparked the need to develop safe and low-cost energy storage devices, especially for large-scale grid applications [1][2][3]. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been extensively investigated as an energy resource solution for grid applications and as the primary source of electrical machines owing to their high energy/power density and durability [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Nevertheless, the low availability of lithium, its growing cost, and safety issues hamper the application of these batteries in the production of commercial storage devices.…”

The generation of renewable energy is a promising solution to counter the rapid increase in energy consumption. Nevertheless, the availability of renewable resources (e.g., wind, solar, and tidal) is non-continuous and temporary in nature, posing new demands for the production of next-generation large-scale energy storage devices. Because of their low cost, highly abundant raw materials, high safety, and environmental friendliness, aqueous rechargeable multivalent metal-ion batteries (AMMIBs) have recently garnered immense attention. However, several challenges hamper the development of AMMIBs, including their narrow electrochemical stability, poor ion diffusion kinetics, and electrode instability. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been extensively investigated for applications in energy storage devices because of their distinct chemical and physical properties. The wide interlayer distance of layered TMDs is an appealing property for ion diffusion and intercalation. This review focuses on the most recent advances in TMDs as cathode materials for aqueous rechargeable batteries based on multivalent charge carriers (Zn2+, Mg2+, and Al3+). Through this review, the key aspects of TMD materials for high-performance AMMIBs are highlighted. Furthermore, additional suggestions and strategies for the development of improved TMDs are discussed to inspire new research directions.

“…Nevertheless, renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal are interrupted by various climatic and natural factors; thus, grid-scale energy is a vital underpinning for the continued development of large-scale energy storage techniques, and secondary batteries are an indispensable choice for achieving this [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Since their successful commercialization in the 1980s, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have dominated the energy market and have been employed in various applications, from portable electronics to grid-scale energy storage systems [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Nevertheless, the growth of the LIB technology has been limited owing to its safety issues, limited Li supplies, and high intrinsic prices [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”

Zn Metal Anodes for Zn-Ion Batteries in Mild Aqueous Electrolytes: Challenges and Strategies

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Over the past few years, rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries have garnered significant interest as potential alternatives for lithium-ion batteries because of their low cost, high theoretical capacity, low redox potential, and environmentally friendliness. However, several constraints associated with Zn metal anodes, such as the growth of Zn dendrites, occurrence of side reactions, and hydrogen evolution during repeated stripping/plating processes result in poor cycling life and low Coulombic efficiency, which severely impede further advancements in this technology. Despite recent efforts and impressive breakthroughs, the origin of these fundamental obstacles remains unclear and no successful strategy that can address these issues has been developed yet to realize the practical applications of rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries. In this review, we have discussed various issues associated with the use of Zn metal anodes in mildly acidic aqueous electrolytes. Various strategies, including the shielding of the Zn surface, regulating the Zn deposition behavior, creating a uniform electric field, and controlling the surface energy of Zn metal anodes to repress the growth of Zn dendrites and the occurrence of side reactions, proposed to overcome the limitations of Zn metal anodes have also been discussed. Finally, the future perspectives of Zn anodes and possible design strategies for developing highly stable Zn anodes in mildly acidic aqueous environments have been discussed.

Summary Sb‐based intermetallic materials have been extensively studied as electrodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) owing to the high discharge capacity and acceptable working voltage range. In this study, InSb nanocrystallites were homogeneously distributed and embedded into a combined matrix of amorphous carbon and rutile TiO2 by a facile two‐time ball‐milling process. The nanostructure of the composite exhibited a favorable synergistic effect of the three components (InSb: high‐capacity active material, TiO2: inorganic crystalline robust matrix, and C: carbonaceous amorphous conductive matrix), which not only supplied a buffering network to suppress the volume expansion of InSb during the Li+ ion intercalation/deintercalation process, but also enhanced the ionic/electronic conductivity of the anode material. Consequently, the InSb‐TiO2‐C anode delivered a long lifespan and remarkable rate performance. In addition, the anode showed a high reversible discharge capacity of 540 mAh g−1 even after 400 cycles at a high current rate of 500 mA g−1. Furthermore, the anode exhibited good capacity retention (87% at 2 A g−1 relative to the capacity at 0.1 A g−1). These results indicate the potential of InSb‐TiO2‐C nanocomposites for LIBs anode materials.
