In recent years, there have been significant advancements in Al-ion battery development, resulting in high voltage and capacity. Traditionally, only carbon-based materials with layered structures and strong bonding capabilities can deliver superior performance. However, most other materials exhibited low discharge voltages of 1.4 V, especially in aqueous Al-ion battery systems lacking anion intercalation. Thus, the development of high-voltage cathode materials has become crucial. This study introduces 2D MoS as a high-performance cathode for aqueous Al-ion batteries. The material's interlayer structure enables the intercalation of AlCl anions, resulting in high-voltage intercalation. The resulting battery achieved a high voltage of 1.8 V with a capacity of 750 mAh g, contributing to a high energy density of 890 Wh kg and an impressive retention rate of ≈100% after 200 cycles. This research not only sheds light on the high-voltage anion-intercalation mechanism of MoS but also paves the way for the further development of advanced cathode materials in the field of Al-ion batteries. By demonstrating the potential of using 2D MoS as a cathode material, this finding can lead to the development of more efficient and innovative energy storage technologies, ultimately contributing to a sustainable and green energy future.

Multivalent ions, especially Al in aqueous electrolyte contributes to higher capacity and color contrast for more sustainable post-lithium electrochromism and energy storages. However, the lack of suitable cathodic and anodic electrochromic materials is a major challenge for Al-ion electrochromic batteries, which limits their optical contrast and lifespan. Herein, we report that Wadsley-Roth phase NbWO with open structure achieves Al intercalation/extraction reversibly.

Aqueous aluminum ion batteries (AAIBs) possess the advantages of high safety, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness and high theoretical capacity. However, the AlO film on the Al anode surface, a natural physical barrier to the plating of hydrated aluminum ions, is a key factor in the decomposition of the aqueous electrolyte and the severe hydrogen precipitation reaction. To circumvent the obnoxious Al anode, a proof-of-concept of an anode-free AAIB is first proposed, in which AlTiO, as a cathode pre-aluminum additive (Al source), can replenish Al loss by over cycling.

This study explores trivalent Al interaction with aqueous starch gel in the presence of two different anions through salting effect. Salting-out nature of Al(SO)·18HO with starch gel causes precipitation of starch; this happens due to competitive anion-water complex formation over starch-water interaction, thereby reducing polymer solubility. Salting-in effect of AlCl with starch gel happens through Al cation interaction with hydroxyl group of starch and increases polymer solubility, making gel electrolyte viable for battery applications.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers are exploring various methods to improve the slow kinetics of aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs), mainly focusing on adjusting the battery's structure, but the advancements have been minimal.
- A new strategy involves using a specially modified electrolyte that includes a redox additive along with framework materials that have larger channels, like ZIF 67, to enhance aluminum ion diffusion.
- This combination results in a significantly improved discharge capacity (288 mAh/g) and cycling stability for AIBs, with the BatCap device achieving a high energy density of 86 Wh/kg, outperforming existing aqueous AIBs.

δ-MnO is a promising cathode material for aqueous aluminium-ion batteries (AAIBs) for its layered crystalline structure with large interlayer spacing. However, the excellent Al ion storage performance of δ-MnO cathode remains elusive due to the frustrating structural collapse during the intercalation of high ionic potential Al ion species. Here, it is discovered that introducing heterogeneous metal dopants with high bond dissociation energy when bonded to oxygen can significantly reinforce the structural stability of δ-MnO frameworks.
