Published: March 2022

A full cell chemistry of aqueous dual-ion battery (DIB) was reported, comprising the graphite cathode and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI) as the anode. This DIB employed a mixture aqueous electrolyte: 5 m tributylmethylammonium (TBMA) chloride plus 5 m MgCl , where [MgCl ] and TBMA serve as the charge carriers for cathode and anode of the DIB, respectively. This novel full cell exhibited a specific capacity of around 41 mAh g based on the total active mass of both electrodes with an average operation voltage of 1.45 V and stable cycling for 400 cycles.

Benefiting from the merits of intrinsic safety, high power density, environmental friendliness, and high-output voltage, aqueous dual-ion batteries (ADIBs) have shown broad potential applications in future grid-scale energy storage. However, since the ADIBs require the cathodes to undergo the intercalation reactions through different local structures and mechanisms, causing large structural deformation and cathode failure, their reversible cation-anion intercalation in the cathode remains a major challenge. To address this issue, based on a reasonable selection and theoretical simulation, this work finds that Todorokite manganese dioxide (t-MnO) cathode with a metal-ion stabilized 3 × 3 large-tunnel structure should be suitable for cation-anion intercalation of ADIBs.

The integration of multiple functions within a single fluorescent molecule provides a promising platform for developing versatile, efficient, and cost-effective materials with enhanced performance across diverse applications. In this study, we introduce TPEC, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule derived from tetraphenylethylene-based tetracarboxylate, which demonstrates multifunctional capabilities, including metal ion sensing and self-erasable writing. TPEC exhibits amphiphilicity in water, self-assembling into single-layer nanosheets with robust blue fluorescence.

All-polymer aqueous batteries, featuring electrodes and electrolytes made entirely from polymers, advance wearable electronics through their processing ease, inherent safety, and sustainability. Challenges persist with the instability of polymer electrode redox products in aqueous environments, which fail to achieve high performance in all-polymer aqueous batteries. Here, we report a polymer-aqueous electrolyte designed to stabilize polymer electrode redox products by modulating the solvation layers and forming a solid-electrolyte interphase.

Prussian blue analogues are highly promising electrode materials due to their versatile electrochemical activity and low cost. However, they often suffer from severe structural damage caused by the Jahn-Teller distortion and dissolution of high-spin outer metal ions, resulting in poor cycle life. Material modification and electrolyte regulation have been the common approaches to address this issue, albeit with very limited success.

Recycling of Spent Graphite from Lithium-Ion Batteries for Aqueous Zn Dual-Ion Batteries.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

September 2024

School of Chemical Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, P. R. China.

As lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) become more widespread, the number of spent LIBs gradually increases. Until now, recycling of spent LIBs has mainly concentrated on high-value cathodes, but the anode graphite has not yet attracted wide attention. In this work, spent graphite from LIBs was oxidized to graphene oxide and then thermally reduced to reduced graphene oxide (RGO), which serves as the cathode of aqueous Zn dual-ion batteries (ZDIBs).
