Abstract
High safety and low cost are essential for energy-storage systems. Here, an aqueous zinc ion battery composed of a hydrogel-based water-in-salt electrolyte prepared by photoinitiated polymerization of acrylamide in ZnCl2 solution (named as PZC) and flexible electrodes is developed. The stable performance in Zn||Zn symmetric cells and high Coulombic efficiency of PZC in Zn||Cu asymmetric cells verify dendrite suppression. VO2 nanobelts coated with polyaniline (PANI) are grown on a carbon cloth (CC). The battery shows a capacity of 221.5 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles. The batteries present high recovery performance after bending/cutting. After bending of 60°, 90°, and 180°, capacities remain at 240.0, 205.4, and 175.2 mAh g-1, respectively; while the battery healed from 1, 2, 3, and 4 times of cutting shows 197.5, 174.3, 124.7, and 101.2 mAh g-1, respectively. Our findings enable the engineering of a quasi-solid-state battery to have good capability for flexible and portable electronics.

Hydrogen Peroxide Tuned Morphology and Crystal Structure of Barium Vanadate-Based Nanostructures for Aqueous Zinc-Ion Storage Properties. SMALL METHODS 2024; 8:e2301398. [PMID: 38143278 DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202301398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
Improving the layered-structure stability and suppressing vanadium (V) dissolution during repeated Zn2+ insertion/extraction processes are key to promoting the electrochemical stability of V-based cathodes for aqueous zinc (Zn)-ion batteries (AZIBs). In this study, barium vanadate (Ba2V2O7, BVO) nanostructures (NSs) are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method. The formation process of the BVO NSs is controlled by adjusting the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and these NSs are employed as potential cathode materials for AZIBs. As the H2O2 content increases, the corresponding electrochemical properties demonstrate a discernible parabolic trend, with an initial increase, followed by a subsequent decrease. Benefiting from the effect of H2O2 concentration, the optimized BVO electrode with 20 mL H2O2 delivers a specific capacity of 180.15 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 with good rate capability and a long-term cyclability of 158.34 mA h g-1 at 3 A g-1 over 2000 cycles. Thus, this study provides a method for designing cathode materials with robust structures to boost the electrochemical performance of AZIBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries have attracted a lot of attention owing to their cost effectiveness and plentiful resources, but less research has been conducted on the aspect of high volumetric energy density, which is crucial to the space available for the batteries in practical applications. In this work, highly crystalline V2O5 microspheres were self-assembled from one-dimensional V2O5 nanorod structures by a template-free solvothermal method, which were used as cathode materials for zinc-ion batteries with high performance, enabling fast ion transport, outstanding cycle stability and excellent rate capability, as well as a significant increase in tap density. Specifically, the V2O5 microspheres achieve a reversible specific capacity of 414.7 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, and show a long-term cycling stability retaining 76.5% after 3000 cycles at 2 A g-1. This work provides an efficient route for the synthesis of three-dimensional materials with stable structures, excellent electrochemical performance and high tap density.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) offer a promising approach for electrical energy storage, combining cost-effectiveness and enhanced thermal safety. However, the cathode material, vanadium oxide, while known for its excellent theoretical specific capacity, faces a challenge in terms of its poor electronic conductance. In this study, we present a novel strategy to address this limitation by constructing the V5O12·6H2O/V6O13/CNT (VOH/CNT) nanocomposite, resulting in significantly improved electrochemical performance. This nanocomposite was synthesized through a facile solvothermal method, yielding a unique floral spherical structure featuring a central cluster and multiple smaller groupings. The integration of CNTs into the composite significantly enhanced its electronic conductance, effectively mitigating the electronic conductance issue associated with vanadium oxide. Moreover, the composite retains crystalline water within its structure, playing a crucial role in providing a favorable ion-conductive pathway. Consequently, the VOH/CNT nanocomposite exhibits an impressive reversible capacity of 201 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1, surpassing that of VOH (116 mA h g-1). Remarkably, even at a high current density, the VOH/CNT nanocomposite demonstrates an exceptional capacity retention, maintaining a capacity of 150 mA h g-1 over 500 cycles at 1 A g-1. Its outstanding electrochemical performance can be attributed to its distinctive structural arrangement, the conductive network facilitated by CNTs, and the introduced crystalline water component.
