Abstract
Birnessite-type MnO2 (δ-MnO2) exhibits great potential as a cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). However, the structural instability and sluggish reaction kinetics restrict its further application. Herein, a unique protons intercalation strategy was utilized to simultaneously modify the interlayer environment and transition metal layers of δ-MnO2. The intercalated protons directly form strong O H bonds with the adjacent oxygens, while the increased H2O molecules also establish a hydrogen bond network (O H···O) between H2O molecules or bond with adjacent oxygens. Based on the Grotthuss mechanism, these bondings ultimately enhance the stability of layered structures and facilitate the rapid diffusion of protons. Moreover, the introduction of protons induces numerous oxygen vacancies, reduces steric hindrance, and accelerates ion transport kinetics. Consequently, the protons intercalated δ-MnO2 (H-MnO2-x) demonstrates exceptional specific capacity of 401.7 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g and a fast-charging performance over 1000 cycles. Density functional theory analysis confirms the improved electronic conductivity and reduced diffusion energy barrier. Most importantly, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance tests combining with ex-situ characterizations verify the inhibitory effect of the interlayer proton environment on basic zinc sulfate formation. Protons intercalation behavior provides a promising avenue for the development of MnO2 as well as other cathodes in AZIBs.

Abstract
The simultaneous intercalation of protons and Zn2+ ions in aqueous electrolytes presents a significant obstacle to the widespread adoption of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) for large-scale use, a challenge that has yet to be overcome. To address this, we have developed a MnO2/tetramethylammonium (TMA) superstructure with an enlarged interlayer spacing, designed specifically to control H+/Zn2+ co-intercalation in AZIBs. Within this superstructure, the pre-intercalated TMA+ ions work as spacers to stabilize the layered structure of MnO2 cathodes and expand the interlayer spacing substantially by 28 % to 0.92 nm. Evidence from in operando pH measurements, in operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy shows that the enlarged interlayer spacing facilitates the diffusion and intercalation of Zn2+ ions (which have a large ionic radius) into the MnO2 cathodes. This spacing also helps suppress the competing H+ intercalation and the formation of detrimental Zn4(OH)6SO4·5H2O, thereby enhancing the structural stability of MnO2. As a result, enhanced Zn2+ storage properties, including excellent capacity and long cycle stability, are achieved.

Abstract
Nonaqueous zinc-ion batteries (NZIBs) featuring manganese dioxide (MnO2) cathodes position themselves as viable options for large-scale energy storage systems. Herein, we demonstrate the use of ammonium cation as a preintercalant to improve the performance of the δ-MnO2 cathode in wet dimethyl sulfoxide based electrolytes. Employing in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, we reveal that the integration of ammonium cations promotes the formation of NH-O-Mn networks. These networks are crucial for manipulating the distortion of the MnO6 octahedral units during discharging, thereby mitigating charge disproportionation, which is a primary limitation to MnO2's charge-storage efficiency. The modified MnO2, through this idea, displays a notable improvement in capacity (∼247 mAh/g) and can pass charge-discharge cycles up to 500 cycles with a capacity retention of 85%. These findings underscore the potential of modified MnO2 in advancing MnO2-based hosts for Zn-MnO2 batteries, marking significant progress toward next-generation energy storage solutions.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) based on vanadium oxides or sulfides are promising candidates for large-scale rechargeable energy storage due to their ease of fabrication, low cost, and high safety. However, the commercial application of vanadium-based electrode materials has been hindered by challenging problems such as poor cyclability and low-rate performance. To this regard, sophisticated nanostructure engineering technology is used to adeptly incorporate VS2 nanosheets into the MXene interlayers to create a stable 2D heterogeneous layered structure. The MXene nanosheets exhibit stable interactions with VS2 nanosheets, while intercalation between nanosheets effectively increases the interlayer spacing, further enhancing their stability in AZIBs. Benefiting from the heterogeneous layered structure with high conductivity, excellent electron/ion transport, and abundant reactive sites, the free-standing VS2/Ti3C2Tz composite film can be used as both the cathode and the anode of AZIBs. Specifically, the VS2/Ti3C2Tz cathode presents a high specific capacity of 285 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1. Furthermore, the flexible Zn-metal free in-plane VS2/Ti3C2Tz//MnO2/CNT AZIBs deliver high operation voltage (2.0 V) and impressive long-term cycling stability (with a capacity retention of 97% after 5000 cycles) which outperforms almost all reported Vanadium-based electrodes for AZIBs. The effective modulation of the material structure through nanocomposite engineering effectively enhances the stability of VS2, which shows great potential in Zn2+ storage. This work will hasten and stimulate further development of such composite material in the direction of energy storage.

Abstract
The unique superstructures electrode materials are of dominant significance for improving the performance of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this work, using nano MIL-96 (Al) as the precursor, a series of the layered (AlO)2OH·VO3 composite superstructures with different morphologies and V-oxide contents were prepared by combining calcination and hydrothermal synthesis. Among which, the HBC650·V4 superstructure is composed of the amorphous Al2O3/C, V-oxide, and the fluffy structure of (AlO)2OH, thus the superstructure can enhance the stability, increase the active center, and shorten Zn2+ diffusion, respectively. It is commendable that, the HBC650·V4 superstructure exhibits a high specific capacity of 180.1 mAh·g-1 after 300 cycles at 0.5 A·g-1. Furthermore, the capacity retention can be as high as 99.6 % after 5000 cycles at a high current density of 5.0 A·g-1, showing superior long cycling stability. Importantly, the in-situ XRD patterns and ex-situ analysis revealed the structural changes and reaction mechanisms of the HBC650·V4 superstructure during Zn2+ insertion/extraction. Therefore, the HBC650·V4 superstructure prepared using Al-MOF exhibits the advanced AZIBs performance. The preparation of nano-MOF into multifunctional superstructures through innovative strategies will be development trend in this field, which opens a new way to design AZIBs cathode materials.

Abstract
Manganese oxide-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are attractive energy storage devices, owing to their good safety, low cost, and ecofriendly features. However, various critical issues, including poor conductivity, sluggish reaction kinetics, and unstable structure still restrict their further development. Oxygen defect engineering is an effective strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of manganese oxides, but challenging in the accurate regulation of oxygen defects. In this work, an effective and controllable defect engineering strategy-controllable electrochemical lithium-ion intercalation - is proposed to tackle this issue. The incorporation of lithium ions and oxygen defects can promote the conductivity, lattice spacing, and structural stability of Mn2O3 (MO), thus improving its capacity (232.7 mAh g-1), rate performance, and long-term cycling stability (99.0% capacity retention after 3000 cycles). Interestingly, the optimal ratio of intercalated lithium-ion varies at different temperature or mass-loading of MO, which provides the possibility to customize diverse ZIBs to meet different application conditions. In addition, the fabricated ZIBs present good flexibility, superior safety, and admirable adaptability under extreme temperatures (-20-100 °C). This work provides an inspiration on the structural customization of metal oxide nanomaterials for diverse ZIBs, and sheds light on the construction of future portable electronics.

Abstract
Manganese-based materials are considered as one of the most promising cathodes in zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) for large-scale energy storage applications owing to their cost-effectiveness, natural availability, low toxicity, multivalent states, high operation voltage, and satisfactory capacity. However, their intricate energy storage mechanisms coupled with unsatisfactory cycling stability hinder their commercial applications. Previous reviews have primarily focused on optimization strategies for achieving high capacity and fast reaction kinetics, while overlooking capacity fluctuation and lacking a systematic discussion on strategies to enhance the cycling stability of these materials. Thus, in this review, the energy storage mechanisms of manganese-based ZIBs with different structures are systematically elucidated and summarized. Next, the capacity fluctuation in manganese-based ZIBs, including capacity activation, degradation, and dynamic evolution in the whole cycle calendar are comprehensively analyzed. Finally, the constructive optimization strategies based on the reaction chemistry of one-electron and two-electron transfers for achieving durable cycling performance in manganese-based ZIBs are proposed.

Abstract
Aluminum batteries (ABs) are identified as one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of large-scale energy storage elements because of their efficient three-electron reaction. Compared to ionic electrolytes, aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs) are considered safer, less costly, and more environmentally friendly. However, considerable cycling performance is a key issue limiting the development of AAIBs. Stable, efficient, and electrolyte-friendly cathodes are most desirable for AAIBs. Herein, a rod-shaped defect-rich α-MnO2 is designed as a cathode, which is capable to deliver high performance with stable cycling for 180 cycles at 500 mA g-1 and maintains a discharge specific capacity of ≈100 mAh g-1. In addition, the infiltrability simulation is effectively utilized to corroborate the rapid electrochemical reaction brought about by the defective mechanism. With the formation of oxygen vacancies, the dual embedding of protons and metal ions is activated. This work provides a brand-new design for the development and characterization of cathodes for AAIBs.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2306972.

Abstract
Vanadium-based compounds are identified as promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc ion batteries due to their high specific capacity. However, the low intrinsic conductivity and sluggish Zn2+ diffusion kinetics seriously impede their further practical application. Here, oxygen vacancies on NH4 V4 O10 is reported as a high-performing cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries via a facile hydrothermal strategy. The introduction of oxygen vacancy accelerates the ion and charge transfer kinetics, reduces the diffusion barrier of zinc ions, and establishes a stable crystal structure during zinc ion (de-intercalation). As a result, the oxygen vacancy enriched NH4 V4 O10 exhibits a high specific capacity of ≈499 mA h g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 , an excellent rate capability of 296 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 and the specific capacity cycling stability with 95.1% retention at 5 A g-1 for 4000 cycles, superior to the NVO sample (186.4 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 , 66% capacity retention).

Abstract
Phenolic compounds, widely distributed in nature, encompass a diverse array of bioactive and antioxidant properties. The detection of different phenolic compound types holds paramount importance in elucidating their bioactivity and health effects, ensuring the quality and safety of food and drugs. Consequently, the development of simple, rapid, and cost-effective colorimetric sensing arrays capable of simultaneous phenolic compound detection has emerged as a prominent research pursuit. In this study, we present a one-step hydrothermal synthesis of N-doped MnO2 nanoflowers (NMF). NMF possess an extensive specific surface area and abundant oxygen vacancies, effectively mimicking the activity of natural laccase. Leveraging this laccase-like activity, NMF demonstrates the ability to catalyze various phenolic compounds, generating distinctive fingerprint signals. Notably, the developed colorimetric sensing array exhibits remarkable efficacy in effectively identifying and differentiating phenolic compounds within complex mixtures. Furthermore, the NMF colorimetric sensing array demonstrates successful identification of phenolic compounds in diverse environments, including food and urine samples. Overall, this study provides new insights into the design of transition metal materials for the simulation of laccase and colorimetric sensing arrays. It provides a promising avenue for the development of advanced detection platforms for phenolic compounds.

Abstract
Strategically tuning the composition and structure of transition metal phosphates (TMPs) holds immense promise in the development of efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts. However, the effect of crystalline phase transformation for TMPs on the catalytic OER activity remains relatively uncharted. In this study, we have deftly orchestrated the reaction process of anion-etched precursor to induce the amorphization process of FeCo-POx from crystalline to amorphous states. The as-obtained amorphous FeCo-POx (A-FeCo-POx) exhibited an optimized OER performance with a low overpotential of 270 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, which could be attributed to the flexibility of its amorphous structure and the synergistic effect of oxygen vacancies. Moreover, when incorporated into an overall water splitting (OWS) device configured as A-FeCo-POx(+)||Pt/C(-), it displayed long-term solid stability, sustaining operation for 300 h at a current density of 200 mA cm-2. This work not only provides valuable insights into understanding the transformation from crystalline to amorphous states, but also establishes the groundwork for the practical utilization of amorphous nanomaterials in the field of water splitting.

Abstract
Aluminum-ion batteries have garnered an extensive amount of attention due to their superior electrochemical performance, low cost, and high safety. To address the limitation of battery performance, exploring new cathode materials and understanding the reaction mechanism for these batteries are of great significance. Among numerous candidates, multiple structures and valence states make manganese-based oxides the best choice for aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs). In this work, a new cathode consists of γ-MnO2 with abundant oxygen vacancies. As a result, the electrode shows a high discharge capacity of 481.9 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and a sustained reversible capacity of 128.6 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.4 A g-1. In particular, through density functional theory calculation and experimental comparison, the role of oxygen vacancies in accelerating the reaction kinetics of H+ has been verified. This study provides insights into the application of manganese dioxide materials in aqueous AAIBs.

Interlayer and Phase Engineering Modifications of K-MoS 2 @C Nanoflowers for High-Performance Degradable Zn-Ion Batteries. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023:e2306276.

Abstract
2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have garnered significant interest as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their open transport channels and abundant Zn2+ intercalation sites. However, unmodified TMDs exhibit low electrochemical activity and poor kinetics owing to the high binding energy and large hydration radius of divalent Zn2+ . To overcome these limitations, an interlayer engineering strategy is proposed where K+ is preintercalated into K-MoS2 nanosheets, which then undergo in situ growth on carbon nanospheres (denoted as K-MoS2 @C nanoflowers). This strategy stimulates in-plane redox-active sites, expands the interlayer spacing (from 6.16 to 9.42 Å), and induces the formation of abundant MoS2 1T-phase. The K-MoS2 @C cathode demonstrates excellent redox activity and fast kinetics, attributed to the potassium ions acting as a structural "stabilizer" and an electrostatic interaction "shield," accelerating charge transfer, promoting Zn2+ diffusion, and ensuring structural stability. Meanwhile, the carbon nanospheres serve as a 3D conductive network for Zn2+ and enhance the cathode's hydrophilicity. More significantly, the outstanding electrochemical performance of K-MoS2 @C, along with its superior biocompatibility and degradability of its related components, can enable an implantable energy supply, providing novel opportunities for the application of transient electronics.

Abstract
MnO2 cathode materials have presented challenges due to their poor conductivity, unstable structure, and sluggish diffusion kinetics for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this study, a nanostructured MnOx cathode material was synthesized using an acid etching method, Which introduced abundant Mn(III) sites, resulting in the formation of numerous oxygen vacancies. Comprehensive characterizations revealed that these oxygen vacancies facilitated the reversible adsorption/desorption of Zn2+ ions and promoted efficient electron transfer. In addition, the designed mesoporous structure offered ample active sites and shortened the diffusion path for Zn2+ and H+ ions. Consequently, the nanosized MnOx cathode exhibited enhanced reaction kinetics, achieving a considerable reversible specific capacity of 388.7 mAh/g at 0.1 A/g and superior durability with 72.0% capacity retention over 2000 cycles at 3.0 A/g. The material delivered a maximum energy density of 639.7 Wh kg-1 at 159.94 W kg-1. Furthermore, a systematic analysis of the zinc storage mechanism was performed. This work demonstrates that engineering oxygen vacancies with nanostructure regulation provides valuable insights into optimizing MnO2 cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Designing multi-channel mesoporous structure and introducing oxygen vacancies to synergistically enhance oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity is crucial for the practical application of zinc-air batteries (ZABs) in the field of energy storage and conversion. Herein, a novel multi-channel mesoporous Bi-Fe2O3 microsphere with abundant oxygen vacancies supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (denoted as Bi-Fe2O3@NC) is constructed and the designated catalyst demonstrates a higher half-wave potential (0.88 V), large limiting current density (5.8 mA cm-2@0.4 V), and superior stability. Besides, the aqueous ZAB utilizing Bi-Fe2O3@NC cathode achieves a high power density of 198.6 mW cm-2 and maintains exceptional stability for 459 h at 5 mA cm-2, superior to most previously reported catalysts. Furthermore, a solid-state ZAB assembled with Bi-Fe2O3@NC shows a power density of 55.9 mW cm-2, highlighting its potential for flexible ZAB applications. The prominent ORR performance of Bi-Fe2O3@NC can be ascribed to its unique multi-channel mesoporous structure and abundant oxygen vacancies, which increase the exposure of active sites and facilitate efficient electron/mass transport. This work provides valuable insights for the rational design of advanced ORR catalysts for the practical requirements of aqueous/flexible ZABs in energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Layered manganese dioxide is a promising cathode candidate for aqueous Zn-ion batteries. However, the narrow interlayer spacing, inferior intrinsic electronic conductivity and poor structural stability still limit its practical application. Herein, we report a two-step strategy to incorporate ammonium ions into manganese dioxide (named as AMO) nanosheets as a cathode for boosted Zn ion storage. K+ -intercalated δ-MnO2 nanosheets (KMO) grown on carbon cloth are chosen as the self-involved precursor. Of note, ammonium ions could replace K+ ions via a facile hydrothermal reaction to enlarge the lattice space and form hydrogen-bond networks. Compared with KMO, the structural stability and the ion transfer kinetics of the layered AMO are enhanced. As expected, the obtained AMO cathode exhibits remarkable electrochemical properties in terms of high reversible capacity, decent rate performance and superior cycling stability over 10000 cycles.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023:e202313163. [PMID: 37924231 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
A great deal of attention has been paid on layered manganese dioxide (δ-MnO2 ) as promising cathode candidate for aqueous zinc-ion battery (ZIB) due to the excellent theoretical capacity, high working voltage and Zn2+ /H+ co-intercalation mechanism. However, caused by the insertion of Zn2+ , the strong coulomb interaction and sluggish diffusion kinetics have resulted in significant structure deformation, insufficient cycle stability and limited rate capability. And it is still far from satisfactory to accurately modulate H+ intercalation for superior electrochemical kinetics. Herein, the terrace-shape δ-MnO2 hybrid superlattice by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) pre-intercalation (PVP-MnO2 ) was proposed with the state-of-the-art ZIBs performance. Local atomic structure characterization and theoretical calculations have been pioneering in confirming the hybrid superlattice-triggered synergy of electron entropy stimulation and selective H+ Grotthuss intercalation. Accordingly, PVP-MnO2 hybrid superlattice exhibits prominent specific capacity (317.2 mAh g-1 at 0.125 A g-1 ), significant rate performance (106.1 mAh g-1 at 12.5 A g-1 ), and remarkable cycle stability at high rate (≈100 % capacity retention after 20,000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ). Therefore, rational design of interlayer configuration paves the pathways to the development of MnO2 superlattice for advanced Zn-MnO2 batteries.

Abstract
In recent years, manganese-based oxides as an advanced class of cathode materials for zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) have attracted a great deal of attentions from numerous researchers. However, their slow reaction kinetics, limited active sites and poor electrical conductivity inevitably give rise to the severe performance degradation. To solve these problems, herein, we introduce abundant oxygen vacancies into the flower-like δ-MnO2 nanostructure and effectively modulate the vacancy defects to reach the optimal level (δ-MnO2-x-2.0). The smart design intrinsically tunes the electronic structure, guarantees ion chemisorption-desorption equilibrium and increases the electroactive sites, which not only effectively accelerates charge transfer rate during reaction processes, but also endows more redox reactions, as verified by first-principle calculations. These merits can help the fabricated δ-MnO2-x-2.0 cathode to present a large specific capacity of 551.8 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, high-rate capability of 262.2 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 and an excellent cycle lifespan (83% of capacity retention after 1500 cycles), which is far superior to those of the other metal compound cathodes. In addition, the charge/discharge mechanism of the δ-MnO2-x-2.0 cathode has also been elaborated through ex situ techniques. This work opens up a new pathway for constructing the next-generation high-performance ZIBs cathode materials.

Abstract
Copper-based electrocatalysts effectively produce multicarbon (C2+ ) compounds during the electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2 RR). However, big challenges still remain because of the chemically unstable active sites. Here, cerium is used as a self-sacrificing agent to stabilize the Cu+ of CuS, due to the facile Ce3+ /Ce4+ redox. CeO2 -modified CuS nanoplates achieve high ethanol selectivity, with FE up to 54% and FEC2+ ≈ 75% in a flow cell. Moreover, in situ Raman spectroscopy and in situ Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicate that the stable Cu+ species promote CC coupling step under CO2 RR. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the stronger * CO adsorption and lower CC coupling energy, which is conducive to the selective generation of ethanol products. This work provides a facile strategy to convert CO2 into ethanol by retaining Cu+ species.

Abstract
Vacancies are ubiquitous in nature, usually playing an important role in determining how a material behaves, both physically and chemically. As a consequence, researchers have introduced oxygen, sulphur and other vacancies into bi-dimensional (2D) materials, with the aim of achieving high performance electrodes for electrochemical energy storage. In this article, we focused on the recent advances in vacancy engineering of 2D materials for energy storage applications (supercapacitors and secondary batteries). Vacancy defects can effectively modify the electronic characteristics of 2D materials, enhancing the charge-transfer processes/reactions. These atomic-scale defects can also serve as extra host sites for inserted protons or small cations, allowing easier ion diffusion during their operation as electrodes in supercapacitors and secondary batteries. From the viewpoint of materials science, this article summarises recent developments in the exploitation of vacancies (which are surface defects, for these materials), including various defect creation approaches and cutting-edge techniques for detection of vacancies. The crucial role of defects for improvement in the energy storage performance of 2D electrode materials in electrochemical devices has also been highlighted.

Abstract
Vanadium-based oxides have gained widespread attention as promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their abundant valences, high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, the intrinsic sluggish kinetics and unsatisfactory conductivity have severely hampered their further development. Herein, a facile and effective defect engineering strategy was developed at room temperature to prepare the defective (NH4)2V10O25·8H2O (d-NHVO) nanoribbon with plenty of oxygen vacancies. Owing to the introduction of oxygen vacancies, the d-NHVO nanoribbon possessed more active sites, excellent electronic conductivity and fast ion diffusion kinetics. Benefiting from these advantages, the d-NHVO nanoribbon as an aqueous zinc-ion battery cathode material exhibited superior specific capacity (512 mAh g-1 at 0.3 A g-1), excellent rate capability and long-term cycle performance. Simultaneously, the storage mechanism of the d-NHVO nanoribbon was clarified via comprehensive characterizations. Furthermore, the pouch battery based on the d-NHVO nanoribbon was fabricated and presented eminent flexibility and feasibility. This work provides a novel thought for simple and efficient development of high- performance vanadium-based oxides cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) hydrodechlorination to methane (CH4) is a promising approach to remove the halogenated contaminants and generate clean energy. In this work, rod-like nanostructured CuCo2O4 spinels with rich oxygen vacancies are designed for highly efficient electrochemical reduction dechlorination of dichloromethane. Microscopy characterizations revealed that the special rod-like nanostructure and rich oxygen vacancies can efficiently enhance surface area, electronic/ionic transport, and expose more active sites. The experimental tests demonstrated that CuCo2O4-3 with rod-like nanostructures outperformed other morphology of CuCo2O4 spinel nanostructures in catalytic activity and product selectivity. The highest methane production of 148.84 μmol in 4 h with a Faradaic efficiency of 21.61% at -2.94 V (vs SCE) is shown. Furthermore, the density function theory proved oxygen vacancies significantly decreased the energy barrier to promote the catalyst in the reaction and Ov-Cu was the main active site in dichloromethane hydrodechlorination. This work explores a promising way to synthesize the highly efficient electrocatalysts, which may be an effective catalyst for dichloromethane hydrodechlorination to methane.

Abstract
In this work, Fe@NC/B material is successfully synthesized and in-situ supported on the surface of amorphous boron (B) using a simple pyrolysis method. The interface between Fe species and B is improved by introducing N-doped carbon (NC) layers as intermediate, fast electron transfer from B to Fe@NC can therefore be achieved, thus could promote the fast redox cycle of Fe3+/Fe2+. The obtained material can therefore activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) effectively to degrade Bisphenol A (BPA), a fast degradation rate and a very long lifetime in a continous tubular reactor are realized. Moreover, experiments and DFT calculation indicate that Fe2+ containing species are the dominated active sites, while the exposed B atoms and structure defect of B can also activate PMS directly to produce SO4•- and 1O2 species for BPA degradation. In addition, boric acid is the oxidation product of B, which can be dissolved into the aqueous solution and expose fresh B species again for PMS activation. The combination of B with Fe@NC provide novel materials for long term PMS activation, thus could promote the real application of persulfates on an industrial scale.

Abstract
As an emerging two-dimensional material, MXenes exhibit enormous potentials in the fields of energy storage and conversion, due to their superior conductivity, effective surface chemistry, accordion-like layered structure, and numerous ordered nanochannels. However, interlayer accumulation and chemical sluggishness of structural elements have hampered the demonstration of the superiorities of MXenes. By metal preintercalation and in situ electrochemical oxidization strategies on V2 CTx , MXene has enlarged its interplanar spacing and excited the outermost vanadium atoms to achieve frequent transfer and high storage capacity of Zn ions in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). Benefiting from the synergistic effects of these strategies, the resulting VOx /Mn-V2 C electrode exhibits the high capacity of 530 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , together with a remarkable energy density of 415 W h kg-1 and a power density of 5500 W kg-1 . Impressively, the electrode delivers excellent cycling stability with Coulombic efficiency of nearly 100% in 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1 . The satisfactory electrochemical performances bear comparison with those in reported vanadium-based and MXene-based aqueous ZIBs. This work provides a new methodology for safe preparation of outstanding vanadium-based electrodes and extends the applications of MXenes in the energy storage field.

Abstract
In aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs), the H+ intercalation possesses superior electrochemical kinetics with excellent rate capability, however, precisely modulating H+ intercalation has been still challenging. Herein, a critical modification of pre-intercalating metal ions in the MnO2 interlayer (M-MnO2 ) with controllable p-band center (ϵp ) of O is reported to modulate the H+ intercalation. The modulation of metal-O bond type and covalency degree on the average charge of O atom results in optimized ϵp and H+ adsorption energy for M-MnO2 , thus promoting the balance between H+ adsorption and desorption, which plays a determinant role on H+ intercalation. The optimized Cu-MnO2 delivers superior rate capability with the capacity of 153 mAh g-1 at a high rate of 3 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. This work demonstrates that ϵp could be a significant descriptor for H+ intercalation, and tuning ϵp effectively increases H+ intercalation contribution with excellent rate capability in ZIBs.

Abstract
As a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) still lack cathode materials with large capacity and high rate capability. Herein, a spherical carbon-confined nanovanadium oxynitride with a polycrystalline feature (VNxOy/C) was synthesized by the solvothermal reaction and following nitridation treatment. As a cathode material for ZIBs, it is interesting that the electrochemical performance of the VNxOy/C cathode is greatly improved after the first charging process viain situ electrochemically oxidative activation. The oxidized VNxOy/C delivers a greatly enhanced reversible capacity of 556 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 compared to the first discharge capacity of 130 mAh g-1 and a high capacity of 168 mAh g-1 even at 80 A g-1. The ex situ characterizations verify that the insertion/extraction of Zn2+ does not affect the crystal structure of oxidized VNxOy/C to promise a stable cycle life (retain 420 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 10 A g-1). The experimental analysis further elucidates that charging voltage and H2O in the electrolyte are curial factors to activate VNxOy/C in that the oxygen replaces the partial nitrogen and creates abundant vacancies, inducing a conversion from VNxOy/C to VNx-mOy+2m/C and then resulting in considerably strengthened rate performance and improved Zn2+ storage capability. The study broadens the horizons of fast ion transport and is exceptionally desirable to expedite the application of high-rate ZIBs.

Abstract
Oxygen vacancies occupation and coordination environment modulation of the transition-metal based electrodes are effective strategies to improve the structural stability and electrochemical performance. In this work, the 2-methylimidazole (2-MI) doped manganese dioxide (MnO2) anchored on carbon cloth (CC) is fabricated via a simple method (MI-MnO2-x/CC), where the oxygen defects on/inside the K+ doped δ-MnO2 nanosheets are in-situ created by reductive ethanol/Mn2+ and occupied by 2-MI ligands. With the pre-embedded K+ ions and abundant ligand-refilled defects, the electronic coordination structure, structural stability and electron/ion diffusion efficiency can be effectively enhanced. Therefore, the MI-MnO2-x/CC reveals a remarkable specific capacitance of 721.2 mF cm-2 with excellent cycle durability (capacitance retention of 93.4% after 10,000 cycles) under 1.3 V operation potential window. In addition, an asymmetric supercapacitor assembled by MI-MnO2-x/CC and activated mechanical exfoliated graphene oxide yields a maximum energy density of 57.0 Wh kg-1 and a highest power density of 23.0 kW kg-1 under 2.3 V. This effective oxygen defect stabilization strategy by ligands refilling can be extended to various metal oxide-based electrodes for energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
The layered MnO2 is intensively investigated as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), but its commercialization is severely impeded by the challenging issues of the inferior intrinsic electronic conductivity and undesirable structural stability during the charge-discharge cycles. Herein, the lab-prepared flexible carbon membrane with highly electrical conductivity is first used as the matrix to generate ultrathin δ-MnO2 with an enlarged interlayer spacing induced by the K+ -intercalation to potentially alleviate the structural damage caused by H+ /Zn2+ co-intercalation, resulting in a high reversible capacity of 190 mAh g-1 at 3 A g-1 over 1000 cycles. The in situ/ex-situ characterizations and electrochemical analysis confirm that the enlarged interlayer spacing can provide free space for the reversible deintercalation/intercalation of H+ /Zn2+ in the structure of δ-MnO2 , and H+ /Zn2+ co-intercalation mechanism contributes to the enhanced charge storage in the layered K+ -intercalated δ-MnO2 . This work provides a plausible way to construct a flexible carbon membrane-based cathode for high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction to liquid multi-carbon alcohols provides a promising way for intermittent renewable energy reservation and greenhouse effect mitigation. Cuδ+ (0<δ<1) species on Cu-based electrocatalysts can produce ethanol, but the in situ formed Cuδ+ is insufficient and easily reduced to Cu0 . Here a Cu2 S1-x catalyst with abundant Cuδ+ (0<δ<1) species is designedly synthesized and exhibited an ultralow overpotential of 0.19 V for ethanol production. The catalyst not only delivers an outstanding ethanol selectivity of 86.9 % and a Faradaic efficiency of 73.3 % but also provides a long-term stability of Cuδ+ , gaining an economic profit based on techno-economic analysis. The calculation and in situ spectroscopic results reveal that the abundant Cuδ+ sites display electron-donating ability, leading to the decrease of the reaction barrier in the potential-determining C-C coupling step and eventually making the applied potential close to the theoretical value.

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.
