Summary: Organic active materials have great potential to replace inorganic counterparts due to their adjustable redox activity, mild synthesis conditions, and multi-electron reactions. However, their application is limited by issues such as dissolution in aqueous electrolyte and low electrical conductivity. In this study, self-assembled nanorods of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (NRPTCDA) were synthesized on carbon cloth for high-performance Zn-ion storage. By optimizing the synthesis conditions, the vertical orientation and length of the nanorods were controlled, facilitating Zn-ion insertion-deinsertion. The NRPTCDA cathode achieved a high capacity of 127.5 mAh g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 in an aqueous Zn-ion battery, with a retention of 82.10 mAh g-1 even at a high current rate of 50 A g-1. The structure-controlled NRPTCDA exhibited 90.1% rate capability at 100 mV s-1 and 78.91% capacity retention over 10,000 galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1. Ex situ X-ray diffraction, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy measurements confirmed the structural, chemical, and morphological stability and reversibility of NRPTCDA electrodes for Zn2+ ion storage.

Summary: Developing ideal electrocatalysts is crucial for accelerating sulfur redox kinetics in both discharging and charging processes of high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries. In this study, defect-rich cation-doped V2O5 yolk-shell microspheres are used as a catalytic host for sulfur. The doping of W or Mo cations leads to broadened lattice spacing of V2O5 and enriched oxygen vacancy defects, providing sufficient active sites for chemically anchoring polysulfides and facilitating mutual conversion between different sulfur intermediates. The S/W-V2O5 cathode demonstrates excellent discharging capacity and cycle stability, even under high sulfur loading and minimal electrolyte/sulfur ratio conditions. This work offers a new strategy to enhance sulfur redox kinetics in Li-S batteries.
