“…The V concentrations reported in surface water are lower than those reported in groundwater, with most values (from both natural and anthropogenic inputs) being less than 50 μg/L possibly due to its relatively easy precipitation into sediment. , Studies on the variations in V distribution in seawater are still scarce. Vanadium concentrations in seawater from coastal ecosystems in Africa and North America are relatively high but generally lower than the reference value (100 μg/L) proposed by the Australia–New Zealand guidelines …”

“…Vanadium concentrations in seawater from coastal ecosystems in Africa and North America are relatively high but generally lower than the reference value (100 μg/L) proposed by the Australia−New Zealand guidelines. 55 Most reported natural V in sediments is distributed throughout Asia and South America (Figure 1d), with the majority of values recorded being less than 200 mg/kg in both freshwater and marine sediments. 56 High background geological V and strong weathering may induce this phenomenon.…”

“…However, the large‐scale use or promotion of V 2 O 5 cathodes needs to proceed with caution due to their toxicity to the human body [ 38 ] and the environment. [ 39 ] The vast space for PBA cathode can easily accommodate Zn 2+ with fast kinetics, but the chance is minimal if the energy density of PBA/Zn AZMB needs to exceed 200 Wh L −1 .…”

Climate change and energy depletion are common worries of this century. During the global clean energy transition, aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are expected to meet societal needs due to their large‐scale energy storage capability with earth‐abundant, non‐flammable, and economical chemistries. However, the poor reversibility of Zn poses a severe challenge to AZMB implementation. Coulombic efficiency (CE) is a quantitative index of electrode reversibility in rechargeable batteries but is not well understood in AZMBs. Thus, in this work, the state‐of‐art CE to present the status quo of AZMB development is summarized. A fictional 120 Wh kg−1 AZMB pouch cell is also proposed and evaluated revealing the improvement room and technical goal of AZMB chemistry. Despite some shared mechanisms between AZMBs and lithium metal batteries, misconceptions prevalent in AZMBs are clarified. Essentially, AZMB has its own niche in the market with unique merits and demerits. By incorporating academic and industrial insights, the development pathways of AZMB are suggested.

“…4 Studies in Asia across unpolluted sediments have shown that vanadium concentrations could reach approximately 48.95 ± 37.40 (0.9−548) μg g −1 . 5 Nonetheless, long-term exposure to vanadium may cause toxic effects on organs and the immune and cardiovascular systems of humans, 6 with some vanadium compounds exhibiting carcinogenic properties. 7 Vanadium is widely used in daily use products and during industrial production, such as metallurgy, catalysis, and energy storage, owing to its versatility and performance.…”

Vanadium is a versatile element gaining significant interest due to its distribution, concentrations, accumulation, and risks. Its historical evolution in bays with substantial human populations and industrial development that use vanadium-related products is essential to evaluate environmental pollution events and the pressure on natural ecosystems. Vanadium concentrations in four sediment cores from Jiaozhou Bay (JZB), Laizhou Bay (LZB), and the East China Sea (ECS) were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Vanadium was higher in the open sea than in a semienclosed bay; the highest concentrations were found in the ECS (98.01–131.70 μg g–1), followed by LZB (66.35–104.33 μg g–1) and JZB (34.95–75.58 μg g–1). Vanadium concentrations in LZB and ECS showed drastic fluctuations and followed trends similar to those of sediment fluxes caused by anthropogenic activities and the natural courses of the two largest rivers in China, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Despite higher concentrations of vanadium in the ECS and LZB, the pollution indices indicated uncontaminated to low-contaminated habitats. Conversely, vanadium concentrations in the JZB illustrate the significant impacts of industries and coastal development, principally after the 1980s. Likewise, the high enrichment and pollution indices suggest that vanadium emission, migration, and circulation of JZB occur at concentrations beyond its natural threshold..
