Splitting Water

Currently, there is much public discussion about the realization of a hydrogen economy as a viable alternative for future large-scale energy sources. Hydrogen as an energy source has several compelling features. For example, its gravimetric energy density is three times that of oil, its combustion and fuel cell product is usually water and, hence, does not leave a carbon footprint, and its abundance, as water is plentiful.

Abstract Non–aqueous rechargeable multivalent metal (Ca, Mg, Al, etc.) batteries are promising for large–scale energy storage due to their low cost. However, their practical applications face formidable challenges owing to low electrochemical reversibility and dendrite growth of multivalent metal anodes, sluggish kinetics of multivalent ion in metal oxide cathodes, and poor electrode compatibility of flammable organic electrolytes. To overcome these intrinsic hurdles, we develop aqueous multivalent ion batteries to replace the prevailing non–aqueous multivalent metal batteries by using wide–window super–concentrated aqueous gel electrolytes, the versatile high–capacity sulfur anodes, and high–voltage metal oxide cathodes. This rationally designed aqueous battery chemistry enables the long–lasting multivalent ion batteries featured with increased high energy density, reversibility and safety. As a demonstration model, a calcium ion−sulfur||metal oxide full cell exhibited a high energy density of 110 Wh kg–1 with outstanding cycling stability. Molecular dynamics modelling and experimental investigations revealed that the side reactions could be significantly restrained through the suppressed water activity and formation of protective inorganic solid electrolyte interphase in the aqueous gel electrolyte. The unique redox chemistry has also been successfully extended to aqueous magnesium ion and aluminum ion−sulfur||metal oxide batteries. This work will boost aqueous multivalent ion batteries for low−cost large–scale energy storage.

Fast Kinetics

Aqueous zinc batteries are considered as one of the most promising energy storage systems for large-scale energy storage and wearable electronics, owing to their low cost and intrinsic safety. However, cathode materials that can reversibly host Zn<sup>2+</sup> are still less. Here, we demonstrate that two N-containing organic compounds, hexamethoxy hexaazatrinaphthylene (HMHATN) and hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATN), used as cathodes can exhibit excellent reversible Zn<sup>2+</sup> storage capability with fast kinetics and the high capacity of 542 and 963 mA h g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The Zn//HMHATN and Zn//HATN full batteries display the high energy density of 160 and 221.6 W h kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, and long-term cycling stability. Further, we investigate the mechanism of Zn<sup>2+</sup> storage in the cathodes. More importantly, the flexible aqueous Zn//HMHATN and Zn//HATN batteries fabricated also have high capacity, long-term cycling life and impressive energy density, displaying its application prospect in wearable electronics. Our work opens a new system for finding organic cathode materials used in aqueous zinc batteries.
