Summary: Organic electrode materials have limited stability and poor conductivity, but using functional conjugated polymers as binder materials can address these issues. This study synthesized sulfonamide pi-conjugated small molecules, linear oligomers, and two-dimensional polymers as binder materials for organic electrodes, and found that sulfonamide polymers showed a 3-fold improvement in capacity retention compared to traditional binders.

Summary: The magnesium driven reaction in the olivine-type MgMn0.5Zn0.5SiO4 structure is investigated through experimental tests and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Partial replacement of Mn in Oh sites by Zn in the MgMn0.5Zn0.5SiO4 cathode is successfully achieved using a simple sol-gel method. Comparison with the well-known MgMnSiO4 olivine-type structure provides insights into the structure and magnesium extraction/insertion properties of the novel olivine-type (Mg)(M1)(Mn0.5Zn0.5)(M2)SiO4 composition. DFT calculations further extend the study to other divalent elements in the olivine-type (Mg)(M1)(Mn0.5M0.5)(M2)SiO4 structure with M = Fe, Ca, Mg, and Ni. The results suggest that the energy density can be tuned between 520 and 440 W h kg(-1) based on the atomic weight and redox chemistry properties, offering new possibilities for cathode material development in Mg batteries.

Summary: The study investigates the development of magnesium batteries as an innovative solution to replace current lithium technology, especially focusing on the electrochemical responses of PBQDS in lithium and magnesium cells. The research shows that PBQDS exhibits stable capacity in lithium cells, while in magnesium cells, capacity decrease is observed over time, which can be partially mitigated by the addition of solvating additive.

Summary: Multivalent-ion batteries have high theoretical energy density and potential to outperform Li-ion batteries. Research has discovered that in a novel Mg anode coating, BiOCl, the diffusion mechanism of Mg cations is facilitated by synchronous rotation of anions, which may enhance multivalent-ion diffusion in layered materials.

Summary: The development of biodegradable electronics has eliminated the need for second surgeries for device removal, reduced infection risks, and opened up opportunities for zero-waste and green electronics. Magnesium-based biodegradable batteries have gained attention for their advantages such as high capacity, energy density, biodegradability, physiological tolerance, low cost, and high safety. However, controlling the degradation rate of the magnesium anode is crucial, and strategies such as coating and alloying elements are used. The development of biodegradable cathode materials and electrolytes is also important for fully biodegradable batteries.

Summary: A satisfactory electrochemical performance P2-type Na0.64Ca0.03(Ni0.17Co0.17Mn0.66)0.9Mg0.1O2 has been successfully prepared by employing a Ca/Mg co-doped strategy. The addition of Ca expands the lattice spacing and improves the specific capacity, while the presence of inert Mg2+ inhibits P2-O2 transition, enhancing the structure stability. The study shows the improved cycling stability and rate capability of Na0.67Ni0.17Co0.17Mn0.66O2 through Ca/Mg co-doping.

Summary: This study investigates the diffusion mechanisms of divalent ions in a novel Mg anode coating, BiOCl, using first-principles informed learning-on-the-fly molecular dynamics. The findings suggest that the diffusion of Mg cations is facilitated by synchronous anion rotational motion. Furthermore, similar cooperative cation-anion motion is likely a common phenomenon in layered oxyhalide structures.

Summary: The authors demonstrated the feasibility of using tetradiketone macrocycles for aluminium ion batteries by adjusting the stability of discharged states. Most aluminium ion batteries do not utilize multivalent ion storage, relying instead on monovalent complex ions, limiting the full exploitation of aluminium's advantages.

Summary: Metal fluorides with 3D open structures, such as pyrochlore or hexagonal tungsten bronze, are potential materials for rechargeable batteries or catalysts. A two-step synthesis procedure was developed to obtain new anhydrous mixed-metal-cation fluorides crystallizing in the pyrochlore structure. The successful synthesis of an anhydrous pyrochlore provides a new route to prepare mixed-metal fluorides with empty cavities in the open framework.
