In this work, poly vinylidene fluoride–chlorotrifluoroethylene (PVdF-CTFE) is introduced as a slurry-fabricable polymer binder to fabricate a stable composite cathode using the complex materials of a Li[Ni0.7Co0.1Mn0.2]O2 cathode, Li6PS5Cl electrolyte, and super C carbon, for sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). The high electronegativity of fluorine in the poly(vinylidene fluoride–chlorotrifluoroethylene (PVdF-CTFE) binder creates a polarized electronic environment in the composite cathode, promoting electrostatic interactions with Li ions. Compared with that of butadiene rubber (BR), the PVdF-CTFE binder has a stronger binding energy to the complex materials in the composite cathode, which enhances the mechanical rigidity of the composite cathode with highly uniform adhesion. In addition, uniform and close contact between the complex materials in the composite cathode reduces the resistance at the interfaces, lowering the energy barrier for Li+ diffusion, and eventually creates a fast Li+ diffusion pathway in the composite cathode. Thus, the pouch-type ASSBs cell, which comprises the composite cathode with the PVdF-CTFE binder, Li6PS5Cl electrolyte sheet, and silver-carbon (Ag/C) anodeless electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 198.5 mAh g–1 at 0.1 C and long-term cycling stability over 300 cycles with a capacity retention of 74.5 % at 0.5 C at 60 °C.

MXene and 3D printing technology are the pioneers of modern energy-related research. 3D printing, or, additive manufacturing has garnered a lot of devotion because of its ease of use and speed in producing simple prototypes. Nevertheless, MXenes, similar to other 2D materials, show an agglomeration tendency, which restricts electrolyte flow and utilization of the effective surface area. They easily oxidize at high anode potentials also, which additionally lowers the stability of the electrode. An effective way to overcome these problems is to rationally design and create MXene-based electrodes employing 3D printing technology for energy storage, which is a programmed-based manufacturing method that can regulate scalability, product design, and reproducibility. Additionally, there is a huge demand for printable, wearable, and stretchable electronic devices for energy storage. Regarding this, 3D printing technology has shown satisfactory potentiality for constructing high-performance energy storage electrodes and devices. Herein, the recent advancements in 3D printing technologies for constructing advanced MXene-based electrodes for energy storage applications are highlighted. Moreover, the dimensionalities and electrochemistry of different MXenes are emphasized briefly. This review also summarizes the performance optimizations for the printable MXene inks to fabricate efficient 3D-printed electrodes for supercapacitors and secondary batteries. The current application of 3D-printable MXene-based electrodes for supercapacitors and secondary batteries is extensively reviewed. Finally, this article concludes with the future directions and existing research challenges in this field.

Artificial coatings represent the promising means to address the interfacial issues of Zn anode, but it poses a significant challenge to their stability due to the fatigue and resulting cracking of coatings during repeated cycling. Here, a functional coating with the synergistic effect of bimetallic co-doping was developed, which changes the Zn2+ deposition mode to interlayer deposition in coating. The simultaneous doping of Cu2+ and In3+ reduces the pyrrolic N content and enhances the adsorption of Zn2+ in the active sites. Bimetallic co-doping results in an increase in specific surface area and a decrease in pore size, thus providing more active sites. As well as enhanced electrical conductivity, electrons can enter between the coatings, thus promoting redox reactions between the layers. Therefore, it endows surface coating with low polarization and stress buffering simultaneously, which avoids cracking and stripping of coatings during cycling. As a result, the cycle life of CuInZIF-8@Zn||CuInZIF-8@Zn symmetric cell exhibits more than 1200 h at 5 mA cm−2 and 5 mAh cm−2. The CuInZIF-8@Zn anode can match multiple types of cathodes and achieve excellent cycling stability; For instance, it can cycle stably for 3000 cycles when paired with vanadium-based cathode. This work provides a new perspective of artificial coatings towards highly stable Zn anode.
人工涂层是解决锌阳极界面问题的有效手段,但由于涂层在反复循环过程中会产生疲劳并导致开裂,这对涂层的稳定性提出了巨大挑战。在此,我们开发了一种具有双金属共掺杂协同效应的功能涂层,它将 Zn2+ 沉积模式改变为涂层中的层间沉积。Cu2+ 和 In3+ 的同时掺杂降低了吡咯烷酮 N 的含量,增强了 Zn2+ 在活性位点的吸附。双金属共掺杂使比表面积增加,孔径减小,从而提供了更多的活性位点。在增强导电性的同时,电子还能进入涂层之间,从而促进层间的氧化还原反应。因此,它同时赋予了表面涂层低极化和应力缓冲的特性,从而避免了涂层在循环过程中开裂和剥离。因此,在 5 mA cm-2 和 5 mAh cm-2 条件下,CuInZIF-8@Zn||CuInZIF-8@Zn 对称电池的循环寿命超过 1200 小时。CuInZIF-8@Zn阳极可与多种类型的阴极配对,并实现优异的循环稳定性;例如,与钒基阴极配对时,可稳定循环 3000 次。这项工作为人工镀膜实现高稳定性锌阳极提供了一个新的视角。

Tremendous progress has been achieved in cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs), however their practical applications are hindered by the poor cycling stability of Zn anode. Herein, amphiphilic choline bromine (ChBr) is introduced as additive into highly-concentrated ZnSO4 aqueous electrolyte, which not only regulates the traditional Zn2+ solvation structure but also establishes an electrostatic shielding layer at electrolyte-anode interface. Compared to the pristine 3 M ZnSO4 electrolyte, ChBr-modified ZnSO4 electrolyte (ZSO-ChBr) is proven effective in promoting the reversibility of zinc plating/stripping and the preferred growth of Zn (002) plane, as well as suppressing the hydrogen evolution and side reactions on Zn anode surface. As a result, Zn||Zn symmetric cell in optimal ZSO-ChBr electrolyte could harvest a remarkable lifespan over 6000 h at 5 mA cm−2 and 1 mAh cm−2, besides a highly-reversible zinc plating/stripping process over 1500 cycles was achieved in Zn||Cu asymmetric cell. Moreover, the Zn||MnO2 full cell could exhibit an excellent rate capability and the cycling stability with a capacity retention of 80 % after 400 cycles. This work provides an integrated strategy of electrolyte engineering to elevate the desolvation kinetics of Zn2+ at anode-electrolyte interface and enhance the cycling stability of Zn anode, effectively improving the electrochemical performances of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) and promoting the development of various energy storage systems.

In sodium-ion batteries, the properties of the electrode-electrolyte interphases (EEIs) layer formed on the electrode surface, dominate the Na+ de-solvation process and Na+ (de)intercalation behavior, thereby influencing the battery performance. Currently, both high-concentration electrolytes and localized high-concentration electrolytes facilitate the formation of anion-derived and inorganic-rich interfacial chemistry, leading to excellent electrochemical performance. However, the expensive lithium salt and/or fluorinated diluent imposes a major concern. Herein, a small amount additive of 0.5 wt% sodium difluoro(oxalate)borate (NaDFOB) with the electron-rich property is introduced into 1 mol L–1 NaClO4/propylene carbonate electrolyte to construct a robust inorganic-rich EEIs via an anion preferential adsorption-decomposition mechanism. Theoretical calculations and experimental results reveal that the DFOB– anion has a lower adsorption energy than the other components, which will be preferentially adsorbed in the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP) with the closer proximity to two electrode surfaces and thus being firstly decomposed to form inorganic-rich interphases, thereby effectively suppressing side reactions. Consequently, both Na-ion half-cells and full-cells using this electrolyte deliver excellent cycling performance. This strategy that regulates the interphase chemistry on the electrode surface through an anion preferential adsorption-decomposition strategy, provides a promising avenue for developing long-term cycling sodium-ion batteries.

Despite advancements, dendrite growth at the anode continues to be a persistent roadblock in accelerating the widespread deployment of hybrid flow batteries as the next-generation energy storage solution, due to the significant impact of dendrites on cycling performance and the potential for battery failure. The ability to analyze energy storage systems at micro-to-macro levels offers unprecedented insights into their behavior and performance. Herein, we develop a multiscale model utilizing phase-field method to investigate dendrite formation, growth, and stripping under operational conditions. The Zn-I system is employed to unravel the intricacies of dendrite evolution and its mitigation through strategic utilization of critical battery parameters. Our findings not only uncover precise zinc morphologies but also provide valuable insights into battery performance toward developing a strategy for mitigating dendrite growth and enhancing battery efficiency at high current density. To our knowledge, this is the first work to comprehensively untangle electrodeposition dynamics at multiscale in the field of flow battery and related research. The findings revolutionize our understanding of deposition behavior, driving transformative advancements in hybrid flow battery design and development, with potential applicability to other battery systems.

Heterostructure engineering offers significant potential to advance the energy storage capabilities of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The typical presence of rich surface states in nanosemiconductors, however, introduces substantial surface barriers that impede surface conductivity, thereby limiting the performance of batteries. Herein, we developed a mix-dimensional van der Waals heterostructure (Bi2S3@NC/SnS2@NC) by synthesizing p-type SnS2 nanosheets on n-type Bi2S3 nanorods, bridged with an ultrathin nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) layer. This structure served as an anode, improving electrochemical performance through additional redox reaction sites and a porous structure that supports electrolyte flow and Na+ transport. This reduces mechanical stress during charging cycles, maintaining structural integrity. Most critically, theoretical and experimental analyses show that the NC layer passivates interface states, enhancing the built-in electrical field and reducing electron and Na+ transport resistance, thereby boosting redox activity. Consequently, the Bi2S3@NC/SnS2@NC anode exhibits a high specific capacity of 290 mAh g−1 after 1400 cycles at 5 A g−1, and 233.6 mAh g−1 at a high rate of 10 A g−1. In full-cell setups with Na3V2(PO4)3 cathodes, it can maintain 461.4 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g−1. This work demonstrates the crucial role of heterostructure engineering in advancing efficient energy storage solutions.
异质结构工程为提高钠离子电池(SIB)的储能能力提供了巨大潜力。然而,纳米半导体中通常存在丰富的表面态,这会引入大量的表面障碍,阻碍表面导电性,从而限制电池的性能。在此,我们在 n 型 Bi2S3 纳米棒上合成了 p 型 SnS2 纳米片,并用超薄掺氮碳(NC)层桥接,从而开发出一种混合维范德华异质结构(Bi2S3@NC/SnS2@NC)。这种结构可用作阳极,通过额外的氧化还原反应位点和支持电解质流动和 Na+ 传输的多孔结构提高电化学性能。这减少了充电周期中的机械应力,保持了结构的完整性。最重要的是,理论和实验分析表明,NC 层可钝化界面态,增强内置电场,降低电子和 Na+ 传输阻力,从而提高氧化还原活性。因此,Bi2S3@NC/SnS2@NC 阳极在 5 A g-1 条件下循环 1400 次后显示出 290 mAh g-1 的高比容量,在 10 A g-1 的高速率条件下显示出 233.6 mAh g-1 的比容量。在使用 Na3V2(PO4)3 阴极的全电池设置中,它能在 0.1 A g-1 下循环 100 次后保持 461.4 mAh g-1。这项工作证明了异质结构工程在推进高效储能解决方案中的关键作用。
