The development of advanced materials for energy storage is critical to addressing global challenges. Zinc-ion batteries offer a promising solution due their safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. In this study, we enhanced the conductivity cotton by coating it with electroless nickel, followed zinc electroplating, create flexible material suitable zinc-ion battery applications. Cotton was coated nickel at temperatures ranging from 40°C 60°C 1 min 13 min. Subsequently, electroplating performed current densities 0.02 A·cm‒2 60 min, 0.03 40 0.04 30 resulting used assemble an (NH4)2V10O25·8H2O (NVO) cathode. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) confirms nickel-coating on fabric 50°C 9 resulted in low electrical resistance 15 ohms. Subsequent fully interconnected particles. This research demonstrates significant potential further field textile conductivity. It also makes possible incorporate like silk cloth other components, which will help build more sustainable sources future.

Conversion- and alloying-type materials have been investigated as alternatives to intercalating graphite anodes of lithium-ion batteries for recent decades. However, the electrochemical pulverization limitations in large-scale production metal oxides prohibit them from practical applications. This work provided an ambient solid-state reaction accelerated by water vapor synthesizing Bi 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 nanorods combined with carbon under mild-condition ball-milling composite fabrication. The obtained performs superior performance: a delivered capacity 802.2 mAh·g −1 after 300 cycles at specific current 500 mA·g retention 82.3%. improvement was ascribed better accommodation volume variation reinforced physical contact raised one-dimensional morphology treatment. complex conversion-intercalation-alloying mechanism storage anode also clarified using cyclic voltammetry ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results.
