Article Abstract
Mn-based energy storage systems are gaining attention as promising candidates for next-generation aqueous batteries, owing to their higher theoretical energy density and capacity compared to conventional Zn-based systems. This advantage is primarily attributed to the lower standard redox potential of the Mn anode (-1.19 V vs SHE) relative to that of Zn (-0.76 V vs SHE). In this study, an Mn⁺/H⁺ hybrid aqueous battery system utilizing LiV₃O₈ is presented as the cathode material, which delivers a high specific capacity of 204.58 mAh g and excellent capacity retention of 76.2% after 7,000 cycles. The charge storage mechanism of LiV₃O₈ is thoroughly investigated through structural characterization, as well as diffusion pathway and energy barrier analyses. Proton insertion is identified as the dominant charge carrier and is found to induce the formation of Mn(OH)₂ on the electrode surface, as confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. Notably, the Mn//LiV₃O₈ cell achieved an operating voltage of 1.1-0.2 V higher than that of the conventional Zn//LiV₃O₈ cell. This study underscores the potential of Mn⁺/H⁺ hybrid systems as next-generation aqueous batteries and offers a comprehensive understanding of the associated reaction mechanisms, providing valuable guidance for the future design of Mn-based aqueous energy storage technologies.

Lithium metavanadate (LiVO) is a material of growing interest due to its monoclinic 2/ structure, which supports efficient lithium-ion diffusion through one-dimensional channels. This study presents a detailed structural, electrical, and dielectric characterization of LiVO synthesized a solid-state reaction, employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and impedance/dielectric spectroscopy across a temperature range of 473-673 K and frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed high crystallinity and single-phase purity with lattice parameters = 10.

Polymer-derived ceramics are a versatile class of multifunctional materials synthesized the high-temperature treatment of a preceramic polymer. In this work, we report the synthesis of a vanadium carbide-embedded carbonaceous hybrid by pyrolyzing a modified preceramic polymer incorporating vanadium acetylacetonate in a polysilsesquioxane followed by hydrofluoric acid etching. The structural and microscopic characterisation confirmed the uniform distribution of nanoparticulate vanadium carbide in the matrix.

We report the synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) graphene/mesoporous carbon/ZIF-derived microporous carbon (G/MC/ZDC-A) heterostructures through an interface-reinforced assembly. This hierarchical architecture synergistically integrates 2D graphene nanosheets with 0D ZDC nanoparticles a mesoporous carbon "binder", effectively mitigating the agglomeration issue while establishing continuous charge transport pathways. When configurated as symmetric supercapacitors with EMIMBF electrolyte, the obtained G/MC/ZDC-A demonstrates decent capacitive performance: a high specific capacitance (240 F g at 0.

Alkaline zinc-iron flow batteries (AZIFBs) are one of the promising aqueous redox chemistries for large-scale energy storage due to their intrinsic safety and low cost. However, the energy efficiency (EE) and power density of batteries with low-cost polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes are still limited due to the relatively poor ionic conductivity of PBI in an alkaline medium. Here, this study proposes a novel chemical approach for regulating the chemical environment of the PBI membrane.

Aqueous Li-N batteries are promising electrochemical energy storage devices, but their reaction mechanisms remain controversial. This study employed density functional theory to investigate the catalytic mechanism of MB MBenes (M = Ti, Zr, Hf, Cr, Mo, and W) as cathodes for aqueous Li-N batteries. MB MBenes exhibit high conductivity due to strong d-electron states crossing the Fermi level.
