The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of hydrated vanadium oxides (VO)Mo(x)V(12-x).nH(2)O (x=0, 1, 2, 3) were studied to provide the vanadium ions reduction ratio (RR)=V(4+)/(V(4+)+V(5+)) dependence on the molybdenum ions concentration and thermal treatment. The vanadium valence does not depend on Mo doping (x

The development of electrode materials for aqueous ammonium-ion supercapacitors (NH-SCs) has garnered significant attention in recent years. Poor intrinsic conductivity, sluggish electron transfer and ion diffusion kinetics, as well as structural degradation of vanadium oxides during the electrochemical process, pose significant challenges for their efficient ammonium-ion storage. In this work, to address the above issues, the core-shell VO·nHO@poly(3,4-ethylenedioxithiophene) composite (denoted as VOH@PEDOT) is designed and prepared by a simple agitation method to boost the ammonium-ion storage of VO·nHO (VOH).

Nanometer-thick ultrathin coatings with superior mechanical strength and desirable lubricating and antifouling performance are critical for the miniaturization of implantable medical devices. However, integrating these properties at the nanoscale remains challenging due to the inherent trade-off between mechanical strength and hydration as well as limitations in coating thickness. In this work, we address these challenges by employing dual-function metal coordination to construct a ∼25 nm thick bilayer structure.

Layered vanadium oxides with preintercalated cations have been recognized to be among the most promising cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). However, their underlying structure-property relationships are still poorly understood owing to the lack of systematic comparison. Herein, a series of layered VO nanobelts including single-layer α-VO and bilayer hydrated δ-VO with preintercalation (MVO·HO, M = Mg, Ca, or Ba) with similar morphology are fabricated through a controllable synthesis protocol as models.

Aqueous batteries have become a promising means of energy storage due to its environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, it often exhibits limited energy density that hinder their application. Considering that ammonium ion (NH ) has a low mass and a small hydration radius, aqueous ammonium ion batteries (AAIBs) are expected to solve the problem of low energy density.
