Abstract
Dynamic reversible noncovalent interactions make supramolecular framework (SF) structures flexible and designable. A three-dimensional (3D) growth of such frameworks is beneficial to improve the structure stability while maintaining unique properties. Here, through the ionic interaction of the polyoxometalate cluster, coordination of zinc ions with cationic terpyridine, and hydrogen bonding of grafted carboxyl groups, the construction of a 3D SF at a well-crystallized state is realized. The framework can grow in situ on the Zn surface, further extending laterally into a full covering without defects. Relying on the dissolution and the postcoordination effects, the 3D SF layer is used as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase to improve the Zn-anode performance. The uniformly distributed clusters within nanosized pores create a negatively charged nanochannel, accelerating zinc ion transfer and homogenizing zinc deposition. The 3D SF/Zn symmetric cells demonstrate high stability for over 3000 h at a current density of 5 mA cm-2.

Abstract
Precise design and tuning of Zn hopping/transfer sites with deeper understanding of the dendrite-formation mechanism is vital in artificial anode protective coating for aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). Here, we probe into the role of anode-coating interfaces by designing a series of anhydride-based covalent organic frameworks (i.e., PI-DP-COF and PI-DT-COF) with specifically designed zigzag hopping sites and zincophilic anhydride groups that can serve as desired platforms to investigate the related Zn2+ hopping/transfer behaviours as well as the interfacial interaction. Combining theoretical calculations with experiments, the ABC stacking models of these COFs endow the structures with specific zigzag sites along the 1D channel that can accelerate Zn2+ transfer kinetics, lower surface-energy, homogenize ion-distribution or electric-filed. Attributed to these superiorities, thus-obtained optimal PI-DT-COF cells offer excellent cycling lifespan in both symmetric-cell (2000 cycles at 60 mA cm-2) and full-cell (1600 cycles at 2 A g-1), outperforming almost all the reported porous crystalline materials.

Abstract
Zinc-based batteries (ZBBs) have demonstrated considerable potential among secondary batteries, attributing to their advantages including good safety, environmental friendliness, and high energy density. However, ZBBs still suffer from issues such as the formation of zinc dendrites, occurrence of side reactions, retardation of reaction kinetics, and shuttle effects, posing a great challenge for practical applications. As promising porous materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives have rigid skeletons, ordered structures, and permanent porosity, which endow them with great potential for application in ZBBs. This review, therefore, provides a systematic overview detailing on COFs structure pertaining to electrochemical performance of ZBBs, following an in depth discussion of the challenges faced by ZBBs, which includes dendrites and side reactions at the anode, as well as dissolution, structural change, slow kinetics, and shuttle effect at the cathode. Then, the structural advantages of COF-correlated materials and their roles in various ZBBs are highlighted. Finally, the challenges of COF-correlated materials in ZBBs are outlined and an outlook on the future development of COF-correlated materials for ZBBs is provided. The review would serve as a valuable reference for further research into the utilization of COF-correlated materials in ZBBs.

Abstract
A reliable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the metallic Zn anode is imperative for stable Zn-based aqueous batteries. However, the incompatible Zn-ion reduction processes, scilicet simultaneous adsorption (capture) and desolvation (repulsion) of Zn2+(H2O)6, raise kinetics and stability challenges for the design of SEI. Here, we demonstrate a tandem chemistry strategy to decouple and accelerate the concurrent adsorption and desolvation processes of the Zn2+ cluster at the inner Helmholtz layer. An electrochemically assembled perforative mesopore SiO2 interphase with tandem hydrophilic -OH and hydrophobic -F groups serves as a Janus mesopores accelerator to boost a fast and stable Zn2+ reduction reaction. Combining in situ electrochemical digital holography, molecular dynamics simulations, and spectroscopic characterizations reveals that -OH groups capture Zn2+ clusters from the bulk electrolyte and then -F groups repulse coordinated H2O molecules in the solvation shell to achieve the tandem ion reduction process. The resultant symmetric batteries exhibit reversible cycles over 8000 and 2000 h under high current densities of 4 and 10 mA cm-2, respectively. The feasibility of the tandem chemistry is further evidenced in both Zn//VO2 and Zn//I2 batteries, and it might be universal to other aqueous metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
The practical implementation of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) is hindered by the rampant Zn dendrites growth, parasite corrosion, and polyiodide shuttling. In this work, ionic liquid EMIM[OAc] is employed as an all-round solution to mitigate challenges on both the Zn anode and the iodine cathode side. First, the EMIM+ embedded lean-water inner Helmholtz plane (IHP) and inert solvation sheath modulated by OAc- effectively repels H2 O molecules away from the Zn anode surface. The preferential adsorption of EMIM+ on Zn metal facilitates uniform Zn nucleation via a steric hindrance effect. Second, EMIM+ can reduce the polyiodide shuttling by hindering the iodine dissolution and forming an EMIM+ -I3 - dominated phase. These effects holistically enhance the cycle life, which is manifested by both Zn || Zn symmetric cells and Zn-I2 full cells. ZIBs with EAc deliver a capacity decay rate of merely 0.01 ‰ per cycle after over 18,000 cycles at 4 A g-1 , and lower self-discharge and better calendar life than the ZIBs without ionic liquid EAc additive.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) hold great promise for large-scale energy storage; however, severe zinc dendritic growth and side reactions on the anode dramatically impede their commercial application. Herein, a Zr-based MOF (UiO-66) functionalized with a high density of sulfonic acid (─SO3 H) groups is used to modify the glass fiber (GF) separator of ZIBs, providing a unique solution for stabilizing Zn anode. Benefiting from the strong interaction between zincophilic -SO3 H and Zn2+ , this sulfonate-rich UiO-66 modified GF (GF@UiO-S2) separator not only guarantees the homogeneous distribution of ion flux, but also accelerates the ion migration kinetics. Hence, the GF@UiO-S2 separator promotes uniform Zn plating/stripping on the Zn anode and facilitates the desolvation of hydrated Zn2+ ions at the interface, which helps guide dendrite-free Zn deposition and inhibit undesired side reactions. Accordingly, the Zn||Zn symmetric cell with this separator achieves excellent cycling stability with a long cycle life exceeding 3450 h at 3 mA cm-2 . Besides, the Zn||MnO2 full cell paired with this separator delivers remarkable cyclability with 90% capacity retention after 1200 cycles. This design of metal-organic frameworks functionalized separators provides a new insight for constructing highly robust ZIBs.

Abstract
Li and Zn metals are considered promising negative electrode materials for the next generation of rechargeable metal batteries because of their non-toxicity and high theoretical capacity. However, the uneven deposition of metal ions (Li+ , Zn2+ ) and the uncontrolled growth of dendrites result in poor electrochemical stability, unsatisfactory cycle life, and rapid capacity decay of batteries assembled with Li and Zn electrodes. Owing to the unique internal directional channels and abundant redox active sites of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), they can be used to promote uniform deposition of metal ions during stripping/electroplating through interface modification strategies, thereby inhibiting dendrite growth. COFs provide a new perspective in addressing the challenges faced by the anodes of Li metal batteries and Zn ion batteries. This article discusses the stability and types of COFs, and summarizes some novel COF synthesis methods. Additionally, it reviews the latest progress and optimization methods of using COFs for metal anodes to improve battery performance. Finally, the main challenges faced in these areas are discussed. This review will inspire future research on metal anodes in rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Covalent organic framework (COF) membranes featuring uniform topological structures and devisable functions, show huge potential in water purification and molecular separation. Nevertheless, the inability of uniform COF membranes to be produced on an industrial scale and their nonenvironmentally friendly fabrication method are the bottleneck preventing their industrial applications. Herein, we report a new green and industrially adaptable scraping-assisted interfacial polymerization (SAIP) technique to fabricate scalable and uniform TpPa COF membranes. The process used non-toxic and low-volatility ionic liquids (ILs) as organic phase instead of conventional organic solvents for interfacial synthesis of TpPa COF layer on a support membrane, which can simultaneously achieve the purposes of (i) improving the greenness of membrane-forming process and (ii) fabricating a robust membrane that can function beyond the conventional membranes. This approach yields a large-area, continuous COF membrane (19×25 cm2 ) with a thickness of 78 nm within a brief period of 2 minutes. The resulting membrane exhibited an unprecedented combination of high permeance (48.09 L m-2 h-1 bar-1 ) and antibiotic desalination efficiency (e.g., NaCl/adriamycin separation factor of 41.8), which is superior to the commercial benchmarking membranes.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have been considered as alternative stationary energy storage systems, but the dendrite and corrosion issues of Zn anodes hinder their practical applications. Here we report a series of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with Zr12 clusters, which act as artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers to prevent dendrites and corrosion of Zn anodes. The Zr12-based 2D MOF layers were formed by incubating 3D layer-pillared Zr-MOFs in ZnSO4 aqueous electrolytes, which replaced the pillar ligands with terminal SO42-. Furthermore, the pore sizes of Zr12-based 2D MOF layers were systematically tuned, leading to optimized Zn2+ conduction properties and protective performance for Zn anodes. In contrast to the traditional 2D-MOFs with Zr6 clusters, Zr12-based 2D MOF layers as artificial SEI significantly reduced the polarization and increased the stability of Zn anodes in MOF@Zn||MOF@Zn symmetric cells and MOF@Zn||MnO2 full cells. In situ experiments and DFT computations reveal that the enhanced cell performance is attributed to the unique Zr12-based layered structure with intrinsic pores to allow fast Zn2+ diffusion, surface Zr-SO4 zincophilic sites to induce uniform Zn deposition, and inhibited hydrogen evolution by 2D MOF Zr12 layers.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted considerable interest in the field of rechargeable batteries owing to their three-dimensional (3D) varied pore sizes, inerratic porous structures, abundant redox-active sites, and customizable structure-adjustable frameworks. In the context of metal-ion batteries, these materials play a vital role in electrode materials, effectively addressing critical issues such as low ionic conductivity, limited specific capacity, and unstable structural integrity. However, the electrochemical characteristics of the developed COFs still fall short of practical battery requirements due to inherent issues such as low electronic conductivity, the tradeoff between capacity and redox potential, and unfavorable micromorphology. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in the application of COFs, COF-based composites, and their derivatives in rechargeable metal-ion batteries, including lithium-ion, lithium-sulfur, sodium-ion, sodium-sulfur, potassium-ion, zinc-ion, and other multivalent metal-ion batteries. The operational mechanisms of COFs, COF-based composites, and their derivatives in rechargeable batteries are elucidated, along with the strategies implemented to enhance the electrochemical properties and broaden the range of their applications.

Abstract
The development and utilization of green renewable energy are imperative with the aggravation of environmental pollution and energy crisis. In recent years, the exploration of electrochemical energy storage systems has gradually become a research hotspot in energy. Among them, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have progressively developed into highly competitive and efficient energy storage devices owing to their inherent safety, natural abundance, and higher theoretical capacity. However, the practical application of ZIBs suffers from the limitation of challenges such as the absence of proper cathode materials and the unavoidable zinc dendrites and side reactions of Zn anode. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an attractive class of electrode materials due to their inherent advantages, like structural designability, high stability, and ordered-open channels, bestowing them with great potential to overcome the problems of ZIBs. In this review, we concentrate on the discussion of designed strategies of COFs applied to ZIBs. Furthermore, the methods of using COFs to solve the challenging problems of cathode development, anode modification, and electrolyte optimization for ZIBs are summarized. Finally, the existing difficulties, solution measures, and prospects of COFs for ZIBs applications are discussed. Our commentary hopes to serve as a valuable reference for developing COFs-based ZIBs.

Abstract
Uneven zinc (Zn) deposition typically leads to uncontrollable dendrite growth, which renders an unsatisfactory cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency (CE) of aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs), restricting their practical application. In this work, a lightweight and flexible three-dimensional (3D) carbon nanofiber architecture with uniform Zn seeds (CNF-Zn) is prepared from bacterial cellulose (BC), a kind of biomass with low cost, environmental friendliness, and abundance, as a host for highly reversible Zn plating/stripping and construction of high-performance aqueous ZIBs. The as-prepared 3D CNF-Zn with a porous interconnected network significantly decreases the local current density, and the functional Zn seeds provide uniform nuclei to guide the uniform Zn deposition. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of Zn seeds and the 3D porous framework in the flexible CNF-Zn host, the electrochemical performance of the as-constructed ZIBs is significantly improved. This flexible 3D CNF-Zn host delivers a high and stable CE of 99.5% over 450 cycles, ensuring outstanding rate performance and a long cycle life of over 500 cycles at 4 A g-1 in the CNF-Zn@Zn//NaV3O8·1.5H2O full battery. More importantly, owing to the flexibility of the 3D CNF-Zn host, the as-assembled pouch cell shows outstanding mechanical flexibility and excellent energy storage performance. This strategy of producing readily accessible carbon from biomass can be employed to develop advanced functional nanomaterials for next-generation flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
Metallic zinc (Zn) is considered as one of the most attractive anode materials for the post-lithium metal battery systems owing to the high theoretical capacity, low cost, and intrinsic safety. However, the Zn dendrites and parasitic side reaction impede its application. Herein, we propose a new principle of regulating p-band center of metal oxide protective coating to balance Zn adsorption energy and migration energy barrier for effective Zn deposition and stripping. Experimental results and theoretical calculations indicate that benefiting from the uniform zincophilic nucleation sites and fast Zn transport on indium tin oxide (ITO), highly stable and reversible Zn anode can be achieved. As a result, the I-Zn symmetrical cell achieves highly reversible Zn deposition/stripping with an extremely low overpotential of 9 mV and a superior lifespan over 4000 h. The Cu/I-Zn asymmetrical cell exhibits a long lifetime of over 4000 cycles with high average coulombic efficiency of 99.9 %. Furthermore, the assembled I-Zn/AC full cell exhibits an excellent lifetime for 70000 cycles with nearly 100 % capacity retention. This work provides a general strategy and new insight for the construction of efficient Zn anode protection layer.

Abstract
The practical application of aqueous Zn-ion batteries is still greatly hindered by the unstable Zn anode with severe Zn dendrites growth and side reactions. As it is accessible and economical, the exploitation of electrolyte additives is one of the most promising strategies to stabilize the Zn electrode/electrolyte interface. Herein, the penta-potassium triphosphate (KTPP) as a novel trifunctional electrolyte additive is introduced to tune the electrode/electrolyte interface. First, the KTPP additive can induce an ion-conducting and mechanically robust solid electrolyte interphase film to stabilize the Zn anode. Second, the KTPP can complex with Zn2+ ions to reconstitute the dissolution sheath structure of the Zn2+ ion. Finally, the K+ cations in KTPP adsorb on the tips of the Zn anode surface as a shielding film to regulate Zn2+ ion flux. As a result, Zn//Zn symmetric cells can achieve significantly prolonged cycling stability (e.g., from 1077 to 3800 h at 1 mA cm-2 /1 mAh cm-2 , from 256 to 2500 h at 2 mA cm-2 /2 mAh cm-2 ), and ultrahigh cumulative capacity of 6400/7200 mAh cm-2 at high current density (40/20 mA cm-2 ). A four-layer Zn-MnO2 pouch full cell with a high capacity of 9 mAh can be constructed, showing impressive practical application potential.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Zn-based aqueous batteries (ZABs) hold great promise for large-scale energy storage applications due to the merits of intrinsic safety and low cost. Nevertheless, the thorny issues of metallic Zn anodes, including dendrite growth and parasitic side reactions, have severely limited the application of ZABs. Despite the encouraging improvements for stabilizing Zn anodes through surface modification, electrolyte optimization, and structural design, fundamentally addressing the inherent thermodynamics and kinetics obstacles of Zn anodes remains crucial in realizing reliable ZABs with ultrahigh efficiency, capacity, and cyclability. The target of this perspective is to elucidate the prominent status of Zn metal anode electrochemistry first from the perspective of zincophilicity and zincophobicity. Recent progress in ZABs is critically appraised for addressing the key issues, with special emphasis on the trade-off between zincophilic and zincophobic electrochemistry. Challenges and prospects for further exploration of a reliable Zn anode are presented, which are expected to boost in-depth research and practical applications of advanced ZABs.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries are regarded as a suitable candidate for large-scale energy storage due to their high safety and the natural abundance of Zn. However, the Zn anode in the aqueous electrolyte faces the challenges of corrosion, passivation, hydrogen evolution reaction, and the growth of severe Zn dendrites. These problems severely affect the performance and service life of aqueous Zn ion batteries, making it difficult to achieve their large-scale commercial applications. In this work, the sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) additive was introduced into the zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) electrolyte to inhibit the growth of Zn dendrites by promoting uniform deposition of Zn ions on the (002) crystal surface. This treatment presented a significant increase in the intensity ratio of (002) to (100) from an initial value of 11.14 to 15.31 after 40 cycles of plating/stripping. The Zn//Zn symmetrical cell showed a longer cycle life (over 124 h at 1.0 mA cm-2) than the symmetrical cell without NaHCO3. Additionally, the high capacity retention rate was increased by 20% for Zn//MnO2 full cells. This finding is expected to be beneficial for a range of research studies that use inorganic additives to inhibit Zn dendrites and parasitic reactions in electrochemical and energy storage applications.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is an excellent material for use as an anode for rechargeable batteries in water-based electrolytes. Nevertheless, the high activity of water leads to Zn corrosion and hydrogen evolution, along with the formation of dendrites on the Zn surface during repeated charge-discharge (CD) cycles. To protect the Zn anode and limit parasitic side reactions, an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI) protective layer is an effective strategy. Herein, an ASEI made of a covalent organic framework (COFs: HqTp and BpTp) was fabricated on the surface of a Zn anode via Schiff base reactions of aldehyde and amine linkers. It is seen that COFs can regulate the Zn-ion flux, resulting in dendritic-free Zn. COFs can also mitigate the formation of an irreversible passive layer and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Zn plating/stripping tests using a symmetrical cell suggest that HqTpCOF@Zn shows superior stability and greater coulombic efficiency (CE) compared to bare Zn. The full cell having COFs@Zn also displays much improved cyclability. As a result, the COF proves to be a promising ASEI material to enhance the stability of the Zn anode in aqueous media.

Abstract
The dendrite growth and side reactions of zinc metal anode in mildly acidic electrolytes seriously hinder the practical application of aqueous zinc-ion battery. To address these issues, an artificial protective layer of nitrogen-doped MXene (NMX) is used to protect the zinc anode. The NMX protective layer has high conductivity and uniformly distributed zincophilic sites, which can not only homogenize the local electric field on the electrode interface but also accelerate the kinetics for Zn deposition. As a result, the NMX protective layer induces uniform zinc deposition and reduces the overpotential of the electrode. Encouragingly, this NMX-protected Zn anode can cycle stably for 1900 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2 . In asymmetric cells, it achieves high cycle reversibility with an average Coulomb efficiency of 99.79% for 4800 cycles at 5 mA cm-2 .

Abstract
Zn metal has received immense interest as a promising anode of rechargeable aqueous batteries for grid-scale energy storage. Nevertheless, the uncontrollable dendrite growth and surface parasitic reactions greatly retard its practical implementation. Herein, we demonstrate a seamless and multifunctional metal-organic framework (MOF) interphase for building corrosion-free and dendrite-free Zn anodes. The on-site coordinated MOF interphase with 3D open framework structure could function as a highly zincophilic mediator and ion sifter that synergistically induces fast and uniform Zn nucleation/deposition. In addition, the surface corrosion and hydrogen evolution are significantly suppressed by the interface shielding of the seamless interphase. An ultrastable Zn plating/stripping is achieved with elevated Coulombic efficiency of 99.2% over 1000 cycles and prolonged lifetime of 1100 h at 10 mA cm-2 with a high cumulative plated capacity of 5.5 Ah cm-2. Moreover, the modified Zn anode assures the MnO2-based full cells with superior rate and cycling performance.

Abstract
The inhomogeneous consumption of anions and direct contact between electrolyte and anode during the Zn-deposition process generate Zn-dendrites and side reactions that can aggravate the space-charge effect to hinder the practical implementation of zinc-metal batteries (ZMBs). Herein, electrospray has been applied for the scalable fabrication (>10 000 cm2 in a batch-experiment) of hetero-metallic cluster covalent-organic-frameworks (MCOF-Ti6 Cu3 ) nanosheet-coating (MNC) with integrated micro space electrostatic field for ZMBs anode protection. The MNC@Zn symmetric cell presents ultralow overpotential (≈72.8 mV) over 10 000 cycles at 1 mAh cm-2 with 20 mA cm-2 , which is superior to bare Zn and state-of-the-art porous crystalline materials. Theoretical calculations reveal that MNC with integrated micro space electrostatic field can facilitate the deposition-kinetic and homogenize the electric field of anode to significantly promote the lifespan of ZMBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries have attracted extensive attention due to their intrinsic advantages. However, zinc ions tend to deposit irregularly, seriously depleting the capacity and stability of the battery. The construction of zincophilic sites can effectively regulate the nucleation and growth of Zn, but there is a defect that these sites will be covered with gradual failure after long-term cycling. Here, in combination with the sustained-compensated strategy, interfacial zincophilic sites are continuously constructed, thus effectively avoiding the threat of dendrites and improving the electrochemical performance. Impressively, at 10 mA cm-2 and 5 mAh cm-2, the protected Zn metal exhibits excellent cycling stability over 2000 cycles in the Zn//Zn battery. Moreover, even the cathode mass loading is considerably high (35 mg cm-2), and the Zn//NVO full cell significantly outperforms with high areal capacity (up to 4 mAh cm-2). This novel strategy provides a direction for the development of high-capacity aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) promise high energy density, low redox potential, low cost and safety; however, their cycle performances are seriously insufficient to restrict the progress in this field. We propose a new concept of atomic electrode formed on the graphdiyne (GDY). This new idea electrode was synthesized by selectively, uniformly, and stably anchoring Zn atoms on GDY at the beginning of plating. The Zn atoms are induced to grow into larger size Zn clusters, which continue to grow into nanoflat. Finally, a new heterojunction interface is formed on GDY without any Zn dendrites and side reactions, even at high current densities. Such stepwise induction of growth greatly suppresses the formation of Zn dendrites, resulting in high electroplating/stripping reversibility and lifespan of AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc metal batteries show great promise in large-scale energy storage. However, the decomposition of water molecules leads to severe side reactions, resulting in the limited lifespan of Zn batteries. Here, the tetrahydrofuran (THF) additive was introduced into the zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) electrolyte to reduce water activity by modulating the solvation structure of the Zn hydration layer. The THF molecule can play as a proton acceptor to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which can prevent water-induced undesired reactions. Thus, in an optimal 2 M ZnSO4/THF (5% by volume) electrolyte, the hydrogen evolution reaction and byproduct precipitation can be suppressed, which greatly improves the cycling stability and Coulombic efficiency of reversible Zn plating/stripping. The Zn symmetrical cells exhibit ultralong working cycles with a wide range of current density and capacity. The THF additive also enables a high Coulombic efficiency in the Zn||Cu cell with an average value of 99.59% over 400 cycles and a high reversible capacity with a capacity retention of 97.56% after 250 cycles in the Zn||MnO2 full cells. This work offers an effective strategy with high scalability and low cost for the protection of the Zn metal electrodes in aqueous rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
With the rapid development of flexible energy storage and wearable strain sensing, conductive hydrogels are attracting attention as electrolyte materials for flexible strain sensors and flexible supercapacitors due to their excellent flexibility and wetting properties. In this work, antifreezing hydrogels with high stretchability, adhesion, and conductivity are designed and prepared by introducing phosphoric acid solutions into polyacrylamide and chitosan systems. The multifunctional hydrogel samples prepared by this method can be used as both quasi-solid electrolytes and wearable strain sensors. The hydrogel-based supercapacitor shows a charge/discharge efficiency of 99.67% and a capacitance retention of 98.85% after 10 000 cycles charge/discharge tests at -30 °C. The tiny characteristic heartbeat wave forms are detected by the hydrogel as a flexible strain sensor. It is foreseeable that PCP multifunctional hydrogel can be a promising flexible material for a new generation of flexible sensors and flexible energy storage devices in a certain range of temperatures.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have received increased interest in recent years as an advanced class of materials. By virtue of the available monomers, multiple conformations and various linkages, COFs offer a wide range of opportunities for complex structural design and specific functional development of materials, which has facilitated the widespread application in many fields, including multi-valent metal ion batteries (MVMIBs), described as the attractive candidate replacing lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). With their robust skeletons, diverse pores, flexible structures and abundant functional groups, COFs are expected to help realize a high performance MVMIBs. In this review, we present an overview of COFs, describe advances in topology design and synthetic reactions, and study the application of COFs in MVMIBs, as well as discuss challenges and solutions in the preparation of COFs electrodes, in the hope of providing constructive insights into the future direction of COFs.

Abstract
Dendrite growth and side reactions of Zn metal anodes remain unresolved obstacles for practical application of aqueous Zn ion batteries. Herein, a two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic heterostructure with controlled thickness was constructed as a protective layer for a Zn metal anode. The reduction of uniformly distributed polyoxometalate in the layer causes a negative charge density gradient, which can accelerate zinc ion transfer, homogenize zinc deposition, and shield sulfates at the electrode interface, while the exposed hydrophobic alkyl chain of the layer can isolate the direct contact of water with the Zn anode. As a result of the synergetic effect, this 2D organic-inorganic heterostructure enables high Zn plating/stripping reversibility, with high average Coulombic efficiencies of 99.97% for 3700 cycles at 2 mA cm-2. Under high Zn utilization conditions, a high areal-capacity full cell with hundreds of cycles was demonstrated.

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
Silicon (Si) is regarded as the most promising anode material for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, and low working potential. However, the large volume variation during the continuous lithiation/delithiation processes easily leads to structural damage and serious side reactions. To overcome the resultant rapid specific capacity decay, the nanocrystallization and compound strategies are proposed to construct hierarchically assembled structures with different morphologies and functions, which develop novel energy storage devices at nano/micro scale. The introduction of assembly strategies in the preparation process of silicon-based materials can integrate the advantages of both nanoscale and microstructures, which significantly enhance the comprehensive performance of the prepared silicon-based assemblies. Unfortunately, the summary and understanding of assembly are still lacking. In this review, the understanding of assembly is deepened in terms of driving forces, methods, influencing factors and advantages. The recent research progress of silicon-based assembled anodes and the mechanism of the functional advantages for assembled structures are reviewed from the aspects of spatial confinement, layered construction, fasciculate structure assembly, superparticles, and interconnected assembly strategies. Various feasible strategies for structural assembly and performance improvement are pointed out. Finally, the challenges and integrated improvement strategies for assembled silicon-based anodes are summarized.

Abstract
A family of coordination polymers (CPs) based on dynamic structural elements are of great fundamental and commercial interest addressing modern problems in controlled molecular separation, catalysis, and even data processing. Herein, the endurance and fast structural dynamics of such materials at ambient conditions are still a fundamental challenge. Here, we report on the design of a series of Cu-based CPs [Cu(bImB)Cl2] and [Cu(bImB)2Cl2] with flexible ligand bImB (1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)butane) packed into one- and two-dimensional (1D, 2D) structures demonstrating dimensionality mediated flexibility and reversible structural transformations. Using the laser pulses as a fast source of activation energy, we initiate CP heating followed by anisotropic thermal expansion and 0.2-0.8% volume changes with the record transformation rates from 2220 to 1640 s-1 for 1D and 2D CPs, respectively. The endurance over 103 cycles of structural transformations, achieved for the CPs at ambient conditions, allows demonstrating optical fiber integrated all-optical data processing.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-based batteries (AZBs) have received massive attention as promising contenders for the future large-scale energy storage due to their low cost, inherent safety, and abundant resources. However, the insufficient energy density and poor stability have become the key to hinder their further application. As is well known, the energy densities (E, Wh kg-1 ) of AZBs are determined by the specific capacity (mAh g-1 ) and output voltage (V). Given the fixed redox potential and capacity of the Zn metal anode, the energy density of AZBs is mainly determined by the cathode material, and the rich material systems of the cathode provide more possibilities to this field. Meanwhile, the methods to improve the stability and performance of the Zn anodes have gained more and more attention due to the severe Zn dendrite growth that can pierce the separator and lead to short-circuiting of the cell. Therefore, in this review, we comprehensively summarize the rational design methods in optimizing the cathode, anode, and device architecture, and classic examples of each catalogue are discussed in details as well. Last, the issues and outlook for further development of high performance AZBs are also presented.

Abstract
The practical application of the Zn-metal anode for aqueous batteries is greatly restricted by catastrophic dendrite growth, intricate hydrogen evolution, and parasitic surface passivation. Herein, a polyanionic hydrogel film is introduced as a protective layer on the Zn anode with the assistance of a silane coupling agent (denoted as Zn-SHn). The hydrogel framework with zincophilic -SO3 - functional groups uniformizes the zinc ions flux and transport. Furthermore, such a hydrogel layer chemically bonded on the Zn surface possesses an anti-catalysis effect, which effectively suppresses both the hydrogen evolution reaction and formation of Zn dendrites. As a result, stable and reversible Zn stripping/plating at various currents and capacities is achieved. A full cell by pairing the Zn-SHn anode with a NaV3 O8 ·1.5 H2 O cathode shows a capacity of around 176 mAh g-1 with a retention around 67% over 4000 cycles at 10 A g-1 . This polyanionic hydrogel film protection strategy paves a new way for future Zn-anode design and safe aqueous batteries construction.

Abstract
Nanofluidic membranes have been demonstrated as promising candidates for osmotic energy harvesting. However, it remains a long-standing challenge to fabricate high-efficiency ion-permselective membranes with well-defined channel architectures. Here, we demonstrate high-performance osmotic energy conversion membranes based on oriented two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with ultrashort vertically aligned nanofluidic channels that enabled efficient and selective ion transport. Experiments combined with molecular dynamics simulations revealed that exquisite control over channel orientation, charge polarity, and charge density contributed to high ion selectivity and permeability. When applied to osmotic energy conversion, a pair of 100 nm thick oppositely charged COF membranes achieved an ultrahigh output power density of 43.2 W m-2 at a 50-fold salinity gradient and up to 228.9 W m-2 for the Dead Sea and river water system. The achieved power density outperforms the state-of-the-art nanofluidic membranes, suggesting the great potential of oriented COF membranes in the fields of advanced membrane technology and energy conversion.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (RAZIBs) show great potential as a competitive candidate for reliable energy storage by virtue of cost-effectiveness, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, unsatisfactory cycle stability of cathode material impedes the development of high-performance RAZIBs. This study reveals a strategic polyol-mediated process by using glycerol as the solvent for solvothermal reaction. After heat treatment in air, Mn-deficient Mn3O4 spinel (D-Mn3O4) can be obtained with rich Mn valence states (Mn2+/Mn3+/Mn4+), expanded crystal structure, high surface area, and good electrolyte compatability. Compared to well-crystallized Mn3O4, the presence of manganese vacancies in D-Mn3O4 enables lower charge-transfer resistance (86.0 vs 196.5 Ω), reduced activation energy for ion insertion (30.9 vs 50.4 kJ mol-1), and boosted solid-state ion diffusivity (9.45 × 10-12 vs 4.61 × 10-14 cm2 s-1). Therefore, D-Mn3O4 exhibits promising electrochemical performance with high capacity (284 mAh g-1), high specific energy (388.5 Wh kg-1) and stable cycle retention (87% after 200 cyclesat 0.3 A g-1). On the contrary, the well-crystallized Mn3O4 sample suffers from severe capacity fading with only 48% capacity retention. Moreover, the specific energies obtained after 200 cycles are 336.1 and 166.0 Wh kg-1 for D-Mn3O4 and Mn3O4, respectively. The drastic differences between the electrochemical performance of D-Mn3O4 and Mn3O4 manifest that the existing manganese vacancies in Mn3O4 spinel structure enhance energy storage capability.

Abstract
Zn-based aqueous batteries (ZABs) have been regarded as promising candidates for safe and large-scale energy storage in the "post-Li" era. However, kinetics and stability problems of Zn capture cannot be concomitantly regulated, especially at high rates and loadings. Herein, a hierarchical confinement strategy is proposed to design zincophilic and spatial traps through a host of porous Co-embedded carbon cages (denoted as CoCC). The zincophilic Co sites act as preferred nucleation sites with low nucleation barriers (within 0.5 mA h cm-2), and the carbon cage can further spatially confine Zn deposition (within 5.0 mA h cm-2). Theoretical simulations and in situ/ex situ structural observations reveal the hierarchical spatial confinement by the elaborated all-in-one network (within 12 mA h cm-2). Consequently, the elaborate strategy enables a dendrite-free behavior with excellent kinetics (low overpotential of ca. 65 mV at a high rate of 20 mA cm-2) and stable cycle life (over 800 cycles), pushing forward the next-generation high-performance ZABs.

Abstract
Metallic zinc (Zn) anode has been received a great promise for aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) due to its intrinsic safety, low cost, and high volumetric capacity. However, the dendrite formation regarding the surface corrosion is the critical problems to achieve the high performance and the long lifespans of ZIBs. Here, we purpose the facile cyclic voltammetry deposition of polypyrrole/reduced graphene oxide (PPy/rGO) composites coated onto Zn 3D surface as Zn anode for ZIBs. As results, the deposited PPy/rGO layer demonstrates the homogeneous distribution covering onto Zn surface, effectively suppressing the formation of dendrite. Additionally, a symmetric cell of the PPy/rGO coated Zn remarkably enhances an electrochemical cycling with a low voltage hysteresis for zinc plating/stripping, which is superior to the pristine Zn cell. In addition, the deposited layer of PPy/rGO on Zn effectively improves the reactivity of electrochemically active surface area and the intrinsic electronic configurations, participating in extraction/intercalation of Zn2+ ions and leading to enhance ZIBs performance. The coin cell battery of Zn-PPy/rGO//MnO2 can deliver a high initial discharge capacity of 325 mAh/g at 0.5A/g with a good cycling stability up to 50% capacity retention after 300 cycles. Thus, these achieved results of Zn-PPy/rGO//MnO2 battery with dendrite-free feature effectively enhance the life-performance of ZIBs and open the way of the designed coating composite materials to suppress dendrite issues.

Abstract
The tendency of zinc (Zn) anodes to form uncontrolled Zn electrodeposits and the occurrence of side-reactions at Zn-electrolyte interfaces are a fundamental barrier hampering broad applications of aqueous rechargeable Zn-based batteries. Herein, a ferroelectric domain-mediated strategy is proposed to manipulate the Zn plating behavior and achieve controllable Zn growth orientation by coating Zn foil with a ferroelectric tetragonal KTN (t-KTN) layer. The ferroelectric domain of t-KTN single crystals exhibits periodic distribution of upward and downward polarizations, corresponding to alternating positively and negatively charged surfaces. The charged ferroelectric surfaces can manipulate the transfer kinetics of Zn ions and the concentration distribution of anions via the interplay between ferroelectric dipoles and adsorbed ions. With the synergistic effect of the ferroelectric polarization and domain configurations, the well-aligned interlamellar arrays composed of electrodeposited Zn are formed in the initial deposition process, which enable selective deposition within interlamellar arrays and eliminate the dendrite growth during the following plating process. As a result, the t-KTN layer-modified Zn anode enables reversible Zn plating/stripping with low voltage hysteresis for over 1200 h at 1 mA cm-2 in symmetric cells, and the assembled full cell exhibits a significantly enhanced cycling stability of over 5500 cycles at 5 A g-1 .

Abstract
Zn powder (Zn-P)-based anodes are considered ideal candidates for Zn-based batteries because they enable a positive synergistic integration of safety and energy density. However, Zn-P-based anodes still experience easy corrosion, uncontrolled dendrite growth, and poor mechanical strength, which restrict their further application. Herein, a mixed ionic-electronic conducting scaffold is introduced into Zn-P to successfully fabricate anti-corrosive, flexible, and dendrite-free Zn anodes using a scalable tape-casting strategy. The as-established scaffold is characterized by robust flexibility, facile scale-up synthesis methodology, and exceptional anti-corrosive characteristics, and it can effectively homogenize the Zn2+ flux during Zn plating/stripping, thus allowing stable Zn cycling. Benefiting from these comprehensive attributes, the as-prepared Zn-P-based anode provides superior electrochemical performance, including long-life cycling stability and high rate capability in practical coin and flexible pouch cells; thus, it holds great potential for developing advanced Zn-ion batteries. The findings of this study provide insights for a promising scalable pathway to fabricate highly efficient and reliable Zn-based anodes and will aid in the realization of advanced flexible energy-storage devices.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn batteries are emerging as promising energy storage devices. However, severe dendrite growth and side reactions of Zn anodes restrict their further development. Herein, we develop a nucleophilic interfacial layer (NIL) on Zn to achieve a highly stable Zn anode for rechargeable Zn batteries. The NIL in a composition of zinc acetate acetamide is homogeneous, compact, and Zn2+-conductive, rendering dendrite-free Zn deposition, which is observed by in situ optical microscopy. Benefiting from the advantages of NIL, the Zn||Zn symmetric cells show a low overpotential of 0.12 V at a high current density of 40 mA/cm2, enhanced Coulombic efficiency up to 99.9%, and extended lifespan over 2600 cycles. The Zn||Ti asymmetric cells exhibit a high areal capacity of 5 mAh/cm2. Moreover, the NIL functionalized Zn anode enables stable cycling of both anode-free Zn||Cl2 cells and zinc-ion capacitors, providing opportunities for the development of high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Wearable electronics is a growing field that has important applications in advanced human-integrated systems with high performance and mechanical deformability, especially foldable characteristics. Although foldable electronics such as rollable TVs (LG signature OLED R) or foldable smartphones (Samsung Galaxy Z fold/flip series) have been successfully established in the market, these devices are still powered by rigid and stiff batteries. Therefore, to realize fully wearable devices, it is necessary to develop state-of-the-art foldable batteries with high performance and safety in dynamic deformation states. In this review, we cover the recent progress in developing materials and system designs for foldable batteries. The Materials section is divided into three sections aimed at helping researchers choose suitable materials for their systems. Several foldable battery systems are discussed and the combination of innovative materials and system design that yields successful devices is considered. Furthermore, the basic analysis process of electrochemical and mechanical properties is provided as a guide for researchers interested in the evaluation of foldable battery systems. The current challenges facing the practical application of foldable batteries are briefly discussed. This review will help researchers to understand various aspects (from material preparation to battery configuration) of foldable batteries and provide a brief guideline for evaluating the performance of these batteries.

Abstract
Although aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) promise high capacity, low cost, and environmental friendliness, the Zn metal anode suffers from limited reversibility and unsatisfied lifespan arising from severe dendritic growth and inevitable interfacial corrosion. In this regard, constructing the artificial protective interfacial layer on the Zn metal foil has been recognized as an effective strategy to realize durable AZIBs. Inspired by the phytic acid (PA) anticorrosion conversion coating layer for industrial metal protection, herein, we designed a dense and conformal PA-Zn complex layer on the Zn anodes through a feasible, rapid wet-chemistry chelating reaction. The in situ formed uniform PA-Zn coating layer on the surface of Zn anodes can serve as a protective layer inhibiting corrosion reaction. More importantly, the desolvation energy of Zn2+ is effectively reduced by the PA-Zn layer, which gives rise to enhanced kinetics of Zn plating/stripping for uniform Zn deposition. Consequently, the PA-Zn metal anode delivered a low overpotential of 36 mV and a long lifespan over 1400 h at 2 mA cm-2 with a capacity of 1 mA h cm-2. The feasibility of PA-Zn anodes is also verified in the as-constructed PANI@V2O5||Zn full cells. This work paves the way for designing a multifunctional interface layer on Zn metal and promotes the development of high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Sensing analysis is significantly important for human health and environmental safety, and has gained increasing concern. As a promising material, porous organic polymers (POPs) have drawn widespread attention due to the availability of plentiful building blocks and their tunable structures, porosity and functions. Moreover, the permanent porous nature could provide a micro-environment to interact with guest molecules, rendering POPs attractive for application in the sensing field. In this review, we give a comprehensive overview of POPs as a platform for sensing applications. POP-based sensors are mainly divided into five categories, including fluorescence turn-on sensors, fluorescence turn-off sensors, ratiometric fluorescent sensors, colorimetric sensors and chemiresistive sensors, and their various sensing applications in detecting explosives, metal ions, anions, small molecules, biological molecules, pH changes, enantiomers, latent fingerprints and thermosensation are summarized. The different structure-based POPs and their corresponding synthetic strategies as well as the related sensing mechanisms mainly including energy transfer, donor-acceptor electron transfer, absorption competition quenching and inner filter effect are also involved in the discussion. Finally, the future outlook and perspective are addressed briefly.

Abstract
Zinc metal has a severe dendrite issue caused by the uneven Zn plating/stripping during continual cycles, which hinders the practical application of ZIBs. The surficial atomic structure of zinc anode plays a decisive role in solving dendrites and improving the electrochemical performance. According to the density functional theory results, Zn (100) plane possesses a much stronger adsorption energy of zinc atom compared with the (002), thus zinc atom preferentially nucleates on the (100) surface. It subsequently continues to grow vertically on (100). Herein, the zinc anode is designed with hexagonal-hole patterns (h-Zn) through a phosphoric acid etching reaction. An abundance of Zn (100) crystal planes are exposed perpendicularly to the anode surface, while the (002) surfaces are at the bottom of these hexagonal holes. Zinc prefers to deposit in hexagonal holes at the (100) surfaces, favoring the restraining of the surficial dendrite growth and accelerating the Zn deposition kinetics. Thus, the symmetric cell using h-Zn exhibits a long cycling lifespan for over 1200 h and extremely low polarization voltage of ≈80 mV at 5 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2 . This work provides an insight into the surficial structure design and crystal plane regulation to fabricate brilliant zinc metal anodes.
