Tuning Electron Delocalization of Redox-Active Porous Aromatic Framework for Low-Temperature Aqueous Zn-K Hybrid Batteries with Air Self-Chargeability. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202401559. [PMID: 38616720 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202401559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Air self-charging aqueous batteries promise to integrate energy harvesting technology and battery systems, potentially overcoming a heavy reliance on energy and the spatiotemporal environment. However, the exploitation of multifunctional air self-charging battery systems using promising cathode materials and suitable charge carriers remains challenging. Herein, for the first time, we developed low-temperature self-charging aqueous Zn-K hybrid ion batteries (AZKHBs) using a fully conjugated hexaazanonaphthalene (HATN)-based porous aromatic framework as the cathode material, exhibiting redox chemistry using K+ as charge carriers, and regulating Zn-ion solvation chemistry to guide uniform Zn plating/stripping. The unique AZKHBs exhibit the exceptional electrochemical properties in all-climate conditions. Most importantly, the large potential difference causes the AZKHBs discharged cathode to be oxidized using oxygen, thereby initiating a self-charging process in the absence of an external power source. Impressively, the air self-charging AZKHBs can achieve a maximum voltage of 1.15 V, an impressive discharge capacity (466.3 mAh g-1), and exceptional self-charging performance even at -40 °C. Therefore, the development of self-charging AZKHBs offers a solution to the limitations imposed by the absence of a power grid in harsh environments or remote areas.

Abstract
The layered orthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) is a promising host material for NH4 + storage. But its electrochemical performances are still unsatisfactory due to the absence of fundamental understanding on the relationship between structure and property. Herein, NH4 + storage properties of α-MoO3 are elaborately studied. Electrochemistry together with ex situ physical characterizations uncover that irreversible H+/NH4 + co-intercalation in the initial cycle confines the electrochemically reactive domain to the near surface of α-MoO3 thus resulting in a low reversible NH4 + storage capacity. This issue can be resolved by decreasing ion diffusion pathway to construct short-range ordered α-MoO3 (SMO), which improves the specific capacity to 185 mAh g-1. SMO suffers from dissolution issue. In view of this the interlayer structure of SMO is reconstructed via hydrogen bond chemistry to reinforce the structural stability and it is discovered that the hydrogen bond network only with moderate intensity endows SMO with both high capacity and ability against dissolution. This work presents a new avenue to improve the NH4 + storage properties of α-MoO3 and highlights the important role of hydrogen bond intensity in optimizing electrochemical properties.

Accelerated sonochemical fabrication of MIn 2S 4 (M = Zn, Mg, Ni, Co) for ultra-high photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 106:106903. [PMID: 38754141 PMCID: PMC11112363 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Ternary metal sulfide (MIn2S4) by virtue of large extinction coefficient, suitable band gap and stability, has been proposed as a candidate for photocatalytic synthesis hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). However, MIn2S4 is conventionally synthesized by solvothermal method that is generally characterized by tedious operational steps and long reaction time. In this work, four sonoMIn2S4 (M = Zn, Mg, Ni, Co) were successfully prepared by sonochemical method within 2 h. These as-synthesized sonoMIn2S4 delivered much high-efficient photocatalytic H2O2 generation. Particularly, the sonoZnIn2S4 presented H2O2 production rate of 21295.5 μmol∙g-1∙h-1 in water/benzylalcohol system, which is 3.0 times that of ZnIn2S4 prepared by solvothermal method. The remarkably improved photocatalytic performance of sonoZnIn2S4 might be due to the multiple defects and fast electron-hole pair separation caused by ultrasound cavitation effect. Other metal sulfide photocatalysts with high performance were efficiently fabricated by facile sonochemical technology as well. The sonochemical method realized the rapid preparation of metal sulfide photocatalysts and efficient production of H2O2, which benefits to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including SDG-7 and SDG-12.

Abstract
Organics are gaining significance as electrode materials due to their merits of multi-electron reaction sites, flexible rearrangeable structures and redox reversibility. However, organics encounter finite electronic conductivity and inferior durability especially in organic electrolytes. To circumvent above barriers, we propose a novel design strategy, constructing conductive network structures with extended π-π superposition effect by manipulating intermolecular interaction. Tetralithium 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylate (LNTC) interwoven by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) forms LNTC@CNTs composite firstly for Li-ion storage, where multiple conjugated carboxyls contribute sufficient Li-ion storage sites, the unique network feature enables electrolyte and charge mobility conveniently combining electron delocalization in π-conjugated system, and the enhanced π-π superposition effect between LNTC and CNTs endows laudable structural robustness. Accordingly, LNTC@CNTs maintain an excellent Li-ion storage capacity retention of 96.4 % after 400 cycles. Electrochemical experiments and theoretical simulations elucidate the fast reaction kinetics and reversible Li-ion storage stability owing to the electron delocalization and π-π superposition effect, while conjugated carboxyls are reversibly rearranged into enolates during charging/discharging. Consequently, a dual-ion battery combining this composite anode and expanded graphite cathode exhibits a peak specific capacity of 122 mAh g-1 and long cycling life with a capacity retention of 84.2 % after 900 cycles.

Abstract
Rationally designed defects in a crystal can confer unique properties. This study showcases a novel dual-defects engineering strategy to tailor the electrochemical response of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials used for electrochemical energy storage. Salicylic acid (SA) is identified as an effective modulator to control MOF-74 growth and induce structural defects, and cobalt cation doping is adopted for introducing a second type of defect. The resulting dual-defects engineered bimetallic MOF exhibits a discharging capacity of 218.6 mAh g-1, 4.4 times that of the pristine MOF-74, and significantly improved cycling stability. Moreover, the engineered MOF-74(Ni0.675Co0.325)-8//Zn aqueous battery shows top energy/power density performances for Ni-Zn batteries (266.5 Wh kg-1, 17.22 kW kg-1). Comprehensive investigations reveal that engineered defects modify the local coordination environment and promote the in situ electrochemical reconfiguration during operation to significantly boost the electrochemical activity. This work suggests that rational tailoring of the defects within the MOF crystal is an effective strategy to manipulate the coordination environment of the metal centers and the corresponding electrochemical reconfiguration for electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are one of the most compelling alternatives of lithium-ion batteries due to their inherent safety and economics viability. In response to the growing demand for green and sustainable energy storage solutions, organic electrodes with the scalability from inexpensive starting materials and potential for biodegradation after use have become a prominent choice for AZIBs. Despite gratifying progresses of organic molecules with electrochemical performance in AZIBs, the research is still in infancy and hampered by certain issues due to the underlying complex electrochemistry. Strategies for designing organic electrode materials for AZIBs with high specific capacity and long cycling life are discussed in detail in this review. Specifically, we put emphasis on the unique electrochemistry of different redox-active structures to provide in-depth understanding of their working mechanisms. In addition, we highlight the importance of molecular size/dimension regarding their profound impact on electrochemical performances. Finally, challenges and perspectives are discussed from the developing point of view for future AZIBs. We hope to provide a valuable evaluation on organic electrode materials for AZIBs in our context and give inspiration for the rational design of high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
The low specific capacity determined by the limited electron transfer of p-type cathode materials is the main obstruction to their application towards high-performance aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). To overcome this challenge, boosting multi-electron transfer is essential for improving the charge storage capacity. Here, as a typical heteroaromatic p-type material, we unveil the unique reversible two-electron redox properties of phenoxazine in the aqueous electrolytes for the first time. The second oxidation process is stabilized in the aqueous electrolytes, a notable contrast to its less reversibility in the non-aqueous electrolytes. A comprehensive investigation of the redox chemistry mechanism demonstrates remarkably stable redox intermediates, including a stable cation radical PNO⋅+ characterized by effective electron delocalization and a closed-shell state dication PNO2+. Meanwhile, the heightened aromaticity contributes to superior structural stability during the redox process, distinguishing it from phenazine, which features a non-equivalent hybridized sp2-N motif. Leveraging these synergistic advantages, the PNO electrodes deliver a high capacity of 215 mAh g-1 compared to other p-type materials, and impressive long cycling stability with 100 % capacity retention over 3500 cycles. This work marks a crucial step forward in advanced organic electrodes based on multi-electron transfer phenoxazine moieties for high-performance aqueous ZIBs.

Abstract
Bipolar organics fuse the merits of n/p-type redox reactions for better Zn-organic batteries (ZOBs), but face the capacity plafond due to low density of active units and single-electron reactions. Here we report multielectron redox-bipolar tetranitroporphyrin (TNP) with quadruple two-electron-accepting n-type nitro motifs and dual-electron-donating p-type amine moieties towards high-capacity-voltage ZOBs. TNP cathode initiates high-kinetics, hybrid anion-cation 10e- charge storage involving four nitro sites coordinating with Zn2+ ions at low potential and two amine species coupling with SO4 2- ions at high potential. Consequently, Zn||TNP battery harvests high capacity (338 mAh g-1), boosted average voltage (1.08 V), and outstanding energy density (365 Wh kg-1 TNP). Moreover, the extended π-conjugated TNP macrocycle achieves anti-dissolution in electrolytes, prolonging the battery life to 50,000 cycles at 10 A g-1 with 71.6 % capacity retention. This work expands the chemical landscape of multielectron redox-bipolar organics for state-of-the-art ZOBs.

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
Electrochromic batteries as emerging smart energy devices are highly sought after owing to their real-time energy monitoring through visual color conversion. However, their large-scale applicability is hindered by insufficient capacity, inadequate cycling stability, and limited color variation. Herein, a flexible Zn-ion electrochromic battery (ZIEB) was assembled with sodium vanadate (VONa+) cathode, ion-redistributing hydrogel electrolyte, and Zn anode to address these challenges. The electrolyte contains anchored -SO3 - and -NH3 +, which facilitates ionic transportation and prevents Zn dendrite formation by promoting orientated Zn2+ deposition on the Zn (002) surface. The ZIEB exhibits a continuous reversible color transition, ranging from fully charged orange to mid-charged brown and drained green. It also demonstrates a high specific capacity of 302.4 mAh ⋅ g-1 at 0.05 A ⋅ g-1 with a capacity retention of 96.3 % after 500 cycles at 3 A ⋅ g-1. Additionally, the ZIEB maintains stable energy output even under bending, rolling, knotting, and twisting. This work paves a new strategy for the design of smart energy devices in wearable electronics.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage, attributing to the abundant reserves, low cost, intrinsic safety, and high theoretical capacity of Al. However, the cathode materials reported thus far still face challenges such as limited capacity, sluggish kinetics, and undesirable cycle life. Herein, we propose an organic cathode benzo[i] benzo[6,7] quinoxalino [2,3-a] benzo [6,7] quinoxalino [2,3-c] phenazine-5,8,13,16,21,24-hexaone (BQQPH) for RABs. The six C=O and six C=N redox active sites in each molecule enable BQQPH to deliver a record ultra-high capacity of 413 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1. Encouragingly, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding network and π-π stacking interactions endow BQQPH with robust structural stability and minimal solubility, enabling an ultra-long lifetime of 100,000 cycles. Moreover, the electron-withdrawing carbonyl group induces a reduction in the energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and expands the π-conjugated system, which considerably enhances both the discharge voltage and redox kinetics of BQQPH. In situ and ex situ characterizations combined with theoretical calculations unveil that the charge storage mechanism is reversible coordination/dissociation of AlCl2 + with the N and O sites in BQQPH accompanied by 12-electron transfer. This work provides valuable insights into the design of high-performance organic cathode materials for RABs.

Abstract
A major issue with Fenton-like reaction is the excessive consumption of H2 O2 caused by the sluggish regeneration rate of low-valent metal, and how to improve the activation efficiency of H2 O2 has become a key in current research. Herein, a nano-heterostructure catalyst (1.0-MnCu/C) based on nano-interface engineering is constructed by supporting Cu and MnO on carbon skeleton, and its kinetic rate for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride is 0.0436 min-1 , which is 2.9 times higher than that of Cu/C system (0.0151 min-1 ). The enhancement of removal rate results from the introduced Mn species can aggregate and transfer electrons to Cu sites through the electron bridge Mn-N/O-Cu, thus preventing Cu2+ from oxidizing H2 O2 to form O2 •- , and facilitating the reduction of Cu2+ and generating more reactive oxygen species (1 O2 and ·OH) with stronger oxidation ability, resulting in H2 O2 utilization efficiency is 1.9 times as much as that of Cu/C. Additionally, the good and stable practical application capacity in different bodies demonstrates that it has great potential for practical environmental remediation.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous aluminum batteries (AABs) are promising energy storage technologies owing to their high safety and ultra-high energy-to-price ratio. However, either the strong electrostatic forces between high-charge-density Al3+ and host lattice, or sluggish large carrier-ion diffusion toward the conventional inorganic cathodes generates inferior cycling stability and low rate-capacity. To overcome these inherent confinements, a series of promising redox-active organic materials (ROMs) are investigated and a π-conjugated structure ROMs with synergistic C═O and C═N groups is optimized as the new cathode in AABs. Benefiting from the joint utilization of multi-redox centers and rich π-π intermolecular interactions, the optimized ROMs with unique ion coordination storage mechanism facilely accommodate complex active ions with mitigated coulombic repulsion and robust lattice structure, which is further validated via theoretical simulations. Thus, the cathode achieves enhanced rate performance (153.9 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 ) and one of the best long-term stabilities (125.7 mAh g-1 after 4,000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 ) in AABs. Via molecular exploitation, this work paves the new direction toward high-performance cathode materials in aqueous multivalent-ion battery systems.

Abstract
We present the investigation of 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives as low-cost and synthetically modular organic electrode materials in rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs). The substituents at the 3,6-positions of tetrazine were found to be critical for cycling stability. While heteroatom substituents (chloro, methoxy, and pyrazole) lead to the rapid decomposition of electrode materials in the electrolyte, the installation of phenyl groups enhances the cycling stability via π-π stacking. Spectroscopic characterization suggests a cooperative Zn2+ and H+ insertion mechanism. This unique cooperativity of Zn2+ and H+ leads to a steady discharge plateau in contrast to the undesirable sloping voltage profile typically observed in Zn-organic batteries.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) with high theoretical capacity is viewed as a promising anode for sodium-ion batteries but suffers from inferior rate capability owing to the polaron-induced slow charge transfer. Herein, a polaron collapse strategy induced by electron-rich insertions is proposed to effectively solve the above issue. Specifically, 1D [MoS] chains are inserted into MoS2 to break the symmetry states of 2D layers and induce small-polaron collapse to gain fast charge transfer so that the as-obtained thermodynamically stable Mo2 S3 shows metallic behavior with 107 times larger electrical conductivity than that of MoS2 . Theoretical calculations demonstrate that Mo2 S3 owns highly delocalized anions, which substantially reduce the interactions of Na-S to efficiently accelerate Na+ diffusion, endowing Mo2 S3 lower energy barrier (0.38 vs 0.65 eV of MoS2 ). The novel Mo2 S3 anode exhibits a high capacity of 510 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C and a superior high-rate stability of 217 mAh g-1 at 40 C over 15 000 cycles. Further in situ and ex situ characterizations reveal the in-depth reversible redox chemistry in Mo2 S3 . The proposed polaron collapse strategy for intrinsically facilitating charge transfer can be conducive to electrode design for fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
We synthesized a small molecule, DBPTO, and used it as a cathode material in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. DBPTO presented a high reversible capacity of 382 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and a long lifespan of over 60 000 cycles. In the same π-conjugated skeleton, DBPTO (containing four CO and two CN groups) shows a narrower energy gap than TAPQ (containing CO and four CN groups), which leads to the superior rate and cycling performance of DBPTO. The mechanism of charge storage of DBPTO also revealed that H+ and Zn2+ coordinated with the CO and CN sites by ex situ structural characterization and DFT calculations. Our results provide new insights into the design of organic cathodes with a high rate capability and long lifespan. Further efforts will focus on a deeper understanding of the charge storage mechanism.

Abstract
In this study, a series of electron donor (-NH2, -NMe2 and -tBu) and electron-withdrawing substituents (-F, -CN and -NO2) were used to tune the nucleophilicity or electrophilicity of a series of square planar Ni2+, Pd2+ and Pt2+ malonate coordination complexes towards a pentafluoroiodobenzene and a pyridine molecule. In addition, Bader's theory of atoms in molecules (AIM), noncovalent interaction plot (NCIplot), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses at the PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory were carried out to characterize and discriminate the role of the metal atom in the noncovalent complexes studied herein. We hope that the results reported herein may serve to expand the current knowledge regarding these metals in the fields of crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry.
