“…Moreover, even at superhigh tenfold current densities of its corrival counterparts, the battery still maintains high capacity of over 109 mAh g −1 (Figure 2). [21,22,24,25,[38][39][40] This high capacity is attributed to the two redox reaction sites of Fe and Co in CoFe(CN) 6 active material. The cycling performance is investigated at 3 A g −1 , which exhibits remarkable cyclic stability with nearly no capacity decline and 100% coulombic efficiency after 2200 cycles (Figure 2h).…”

safety, and low cost. [1][2][3][4][5] However, the strong electrostatic interaction with host materials originating from divalent chemistry leads to low output voltage, poor reversibility, and especially sluggish kinetics. Various cathode materials have been developed to navigate these challenges. Currently, the most studied cathode active materials are manganesebased [6][7][8][9] and vanadium-based [10][11][12][13] composites. Nonetheless, relative low operating voltage and poor rate performance remains as issues. To reach the operating voltage of electronic devices, multiple batteries must be connected in series. This practice increases the volume of battery and causes energy loss. Furthermore, poor rate capability limits application of Zn-ion batteries in high-power appliances.The Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) possessing a 3D open framework with large interstitial sites, [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] are considered as a promising host material for reversible Zn-ion intercalation/deintercalation with fast charge/discharge properties and high operational voltage, which is ascribed to its ideal crystal structure and desirable electrochemical properties. [17] Recently, hexacyanometallates with a typical formula of A x M′[M″(CN) 6 ] y ⋅nH 2 O (simply denoted as M′/M″ PBA) are investigated as cathode active materials for aqueous batteries including Li-, Na-, Mg-, Ca-, and Zn-ion batteries, where the A Herein, a two-species redox reaction of Co(II)/Co(III) and Fe(II)/Fe(III) incorporated in cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoFe(CN) 6 ) is proposed as a breakthrough to achieve jointly high-capacity and high-voltage aqueous Zn-ion battery. The Zn/CoFe(CN) 6 battery provides a highly operational voltage plateau of 1.75 V (vs metallic Zn) and a high capacity of 173.4 mAh g −1 at current density of 0.3 A g −1 , taking advantage of the two-species redox reaction of Co(II)/Co(III) and Fe(II)/Fe(III) couples.Even under extremely fast charge/discharge rate of 6 A g −1 , the battery delivers a sufficiently high discharge capacity of 109.5 mAh g −1 with its 3D opened structure framework. This is the highest capacity delivered among all the batteries using Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) cathode up to now. Furthermore, Zn/CoFe(CN) 6 battery achieves an excellent cycling performance of 2200 cycles without any capacity decay at coulombic efficiency of nearly 100%. One further step, a sol-gel transition strategy for hydrogel electrolyte is developed to construct high-performance flexible cable-type battery. With the strategy, the active materials can adequately contact with electrolyte, resulting in improved electrochemical performance (≈18.73% capacity increase) and mechanical robustness of the solid-state device. It is believed that this study optimizes electrodes by incorporating multi redox reaction species for high-voltage and high-capacity batteries.The ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under https://doi.

“…In 2015, we introduced copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) as positive electrode for an aqueous zinc‐ion battery which has shown successful intercalation of Zn 2+ with a specific charge of almost 60 mAh g −1 .

Electrochemical and Morphological Characterization of Zn−Al−Cu Layered Double Hydroxides as a Negative Electrode in Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) have shown to improve the zinc electrodeposition efficiency at the negative electrode of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. In this work, a copper‐doped Zn−Al−CO3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been synthesized by co‐precipitation method under constant pH, and investigated as suitable solid‐state additive in zinc‐based negative electrodes. X‐ray diffraction patterns in combination with scanning electron microscope images show that the as‐synthesized LDHs are well crystalline and hexagonal platelet‐like. LDH was mixed with zinc powder in different ratios and the electrochemical performances of the mixtures were characterized by galvanostatic cycling with potential limitation (GCPL) at different current rates. The results show that an appropriate combination of zinc and LDH can be used to reach electrodeposition efficiency equal to 98 %. Thereafter, the performance of this electrode in a full cell is studied. In such configuration, the electrode shows that the electrodeposition efficiency remains high even at high current rates, which is an important characteristic for grid‐scale energy storage.

“…An initial attempt on the hexacyanoferrate system delivered a limited capacity (≈60 mA h g −1 ), although a high operation voltage of ≈1.7 V was achieved. [23][24][25][26][27][28] Recently, Pan et al demonstrated that the manganese oxide cathode goes through a chemical conversion reaction with the zinc species and H 2 O rather than the simple intercalation process, delivering a high capacity of ≈285 mA h g −1 and an operating voltage of ≈1.44 V. [29] Nazar's group developed a Zn 0.25 V 2 O 5 ·nH 2 O cathode material, which displayed a specific energy of ≈250 Wh kg −1 (based on cathode) and a high capacity of 220 mA h g −1 at 15 C (1 C = 300 mA g −1 ). [30] During cycling, the structural water in Zn 0.25 V 2 O 5 ·nH 2 O was revealed to exchange with Zn 2+ reversibly, thus resulting in good kinetics and rate performance.…”

Among the aqueous rechargeable batteries, Zn 2+ -based batteries exhibit a series of unique attributes for large-scale energy storage: (i) feasibility of using low-cost Zn metal anode with a high theoretical specific capacity of 819 mA h g −1 ; (ii) replacement of the traditional alkaline electrolytes by mild neutral electrolytes, mitigating the environmental disruption and recycling costs; and (iii) low redox potential of Zn/Zn 2+ (−0.76 V vs standard hydrogen electrode) and two-electron transfer mechanism during cycling responsible for the high energy density. [6,22,23] However, the zinc system also has long-standing challenges, such as the unstable cathode and anode structures in the aqueous environment. On the cathode side, the cycling stability is related to how zinc ions and the electrolyte react with the cathode materials, which is much more complex as compared to the lithium-ion systems. An initial attempt on the hexacyanoferrate system delivered a limited capacity (≈60 mA h g −1 ), although a high operation voltage of ≈1.7 V was achieved. [23][24][25][26][27][28] Recently, Pan et al. demonstrated that the manganese oxide cathode goes through a chemical conversion reaction with the zinc species and H 2 O rather than the simple intercalation process, delivering a high capacity of ≈285 mA h g −1 and an operating voltage of ≈1.44 V. [29] Nazar's group developed a Zn 0.25 V 2 O 5 ·nH 2 O cathode material, which displayed a specific energy of ≈250 Wh kg −1 (based on cathode) and a high capacity of 220 mA h g −1 at 15 C (1 C = 300 mA g −1 ). [30] During cycling, the structural water in Zn 0.25 V 2 O 5 ·nH 2 O was revealed to exchange with Zn 2+ reversibly, thus resulting in good kinetics and rate performance. Furthermore, some other studies have also suggested the importance of H 2 O in metal ion intercalation. [23,31] During cycling, the solvating H 2 O works as a charge shield for the metal ions (Al 3+ , Mg 2+ , Li + , etc.), reducing their effective charges and hence their interactions with the host frameworks. [32,33] This strategy has been investigated to enhance the capacity and rate capability of Li + , Na + , and Mg 2+ batteries. [34][35][36][37][38][39] In this paper, we present a systematic and detailed study of the role of H 2 O in bilayer V 2 O 5 ·nH 2 O (n ≥ 1) as a prototype cathode material for zinc batteries. By coupling the electrochemical measurements, thermogravimetric/differential BatteriesLarge-scale energy storage systems are critical for the integration of renewable energy and electric energy infrastructures. [1][2][3] Among numerous candidates, lithium-ion batteries with organic electrolytes are one of the most attractive options due to their high energy density [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and mature markets. [11,12] However, for grid scale energy storage, the cost of lithium-ion batteries is still too high, [13,14] and the use of the flammable organic electrolyte in large format batteries poses a severe safety and environmental concern. [15] As an alternative, low-cost aqueous batteries wi...
