Exploring electrolyte formulations that can effectively reduce the plating/stripping potentials of metallic electrodes holds great significance in advancing the development of high-voltage redox flow batteries. In this study, we introduce a novel Sn-based chelated electrolyte, namely, Sn(PO), by directly reacting the Sn solution with an excess of PO solution. Electrochemical tests prove that the incorporation of high-concentration PO ligands could shift the plating/stripping potential to -0.

Nevertheless, the currently available organic electrodes often encounter dissolution issues, leading to a decrease in long-cycle stability. In addition, the inherent potential of the organic anode is generally relatively high, resulting in low cell voltage of assembled PrIBs (<1.

Aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are gaining popularity as advanced energy storage devices that are economical, safe, and use resource-abundant storage options. In this study, we have synthesized a bipolar phenothiazine organic scaffold known as 3,7-bis(melaminyl)phenothiazin-5-ium iodide (PTDM), which is obtained by undergoing nucleophilic substitution through phenothiazinium tetraiodide hydrate (PTD) and melamine. Electrochemical results indicate that PTDM can act as a high-potential cathode material for rechargeable AZIBs.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are expected to be an attractive alternative in advanced energy storage devices due to large abundance and dependable security. Nevertheless, the undesirable energy density and operating voltage still hinder the development of AZIBs, which is intimately associated with the fundamental properties of the cathode. In this work, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) intercalated Mn VO (PVP-MnVO) with a large interlayer spacing of 13.
