Aqueous rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (ARZIBs) are promising candidates for fast-charging energy-storage systems. The issues of stronger interactions between Zn 2+ and the cathode for ultrafast ARZIBs can be partially addressed by enhancing mass transfer and ion diffusion of the cathode. Herein, via thermal oxidation for the first time, N -doped VO 2 porous nanoflowers with short ion diffusion paths and improved electrical conductivity were synthesized as ARZIBs cathode materials . The introduction of nitrogen derived from the vanadium-based-zeolite imidazolyl framework (V-ZIF) contributes to enhanced electrical conductivity and faster ion diffusion, while the thermal oxidation of the VS 2 precursor assists the final product in exhibiting a more stable three-dimensional nanoflower structure. In particular, the N -doped VO 2 cathode shows excellent cycle stability and superior rate capability with the delivered capacities of 165.02 mAh g −1 and 85 mAh g −1 , at 10 A g −1 and 30 A g −1 , and the capacity retention of 91.4% after 2200 cycles and 99% after 9000 cycles, respectively. Remarkably, the battery takes less than 10 s to be fully charged at 30 A g −1 . Hence, this work provides a new avenue for designing unique nanostructured vanadium oxides and developing electrode materials suitable for ultrafast charging.

Thermochromic VO 2 -based smart windows are considered as a highly promising building envelope to reduce building energy consumption. However, the inherent unsatisfactory optical performance hindered its practical applications and nanocomposite films are testified to be the most promising strategy addressing this issue, while uniformly dispersing nanoparticles is often a challenge. Herein, a facile in situ method was proposed to directly fabricate highly dispersed VO 2 nanoparticles (HD-VN) on a glass surface from the VOC 2 O 4 ·xH 2 O aqueous solution to achieve the high-optical performance VO 2 film (HD-VN film). The forming mechanism of HD-VN was fully elucidated and HD-VN was generated via the sintering process from the irregular VO 2 particles derived from the decomposition of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). The HD-VN film showed excellent luminous transmittance ( T lum ) of 72.5% and solar energy modulation efficiency (Δ T sol ) of 10.1%, the former was attributed to the reduced refractive index which led to a reduced reflectance of HD-VN film, and the latter was ascribed to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) behavior of the HD-VN. The simple and cost-efficient synthesis strategy would promote the application of VO 2 film in energy-efficient glazing, and also shed light on the structures’ design applied to the field of optics, catalysts, and sensors.

Developing high energy density room-temperature sodium sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries relies on the design of delicate structure that can be efficiently injected sulfur and enhance the cycle life of electrode active material. Herein, a three dimensional (3D) hierarchical cathode substrate with VO 2 nanoflowers as catalyst in situ grown on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for sulfur cathodes are designed and prepared. In this novel structure, the electronic conductivity of sulfur cathode can be greatly improved due to the high electrical conductivity of rGO substrate. More importantly, the catalytic effect of VO 2 accelerates the conversion long-chain NaPSs to Na 2 S 2 /Na 2 S, and enhances the cycle capability, which can be validated by experimental data. As a result, the as-obtained rGO/VO 2 /S composites achieves an initial reversible capacity of 876.4 mA h g −1 at 0.2C. Moreover, the capacity of 156.1 mA h g −1 is demonstrated after long-cycling term of 1000 cycles at 2C and high cycle stability of only 0.07% capacity decay per cycle is exhibited.

With the rapid development of communication technology, it will lead to many electromagnetic wave (EMW) pollutions affecting the normal operation of precision instruments in industry. Then need smart electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material to protect the instrument from electromagnetic radiation . In this paper, multi-dimensional architectures yolk-shell-like VO 2 (M)/Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene (MXene) composite films (VM) were successfully prepared by hydrothermal treatment and electrostatic self-assembly. Yolk-shell-like VO 2 (M) microspheres were riveted onto few-layer MXene nanosheets as a smart EMI shielding material. Above 65 °C, the metal-insulator phase transition (MIT) of VO 2 (M) changes from the semiconductor state to the metallic state. VM composite films possess temperature controlled EMI shielding properties, which have not been reported before. When the thickness is 29.06 µm, the composite sample exhibits an EMI SE of 43.5 dB at 85 °C, which is 8 dB higher than room temperature . Besides, the few-layer structure and the unique yolk-shell-like structure of VM composite films exhibit excellent dielectric loss. The introduction of few-layer MXene nanosheets improves the EMI shielding performance of yolk-shell-like VO 2 (M) microspheres and achieves optimized impedance matching. Therefore, VM composite films are expected to provide new ideas for smart EMI shielding materials.

This paper describes a solution-phase synthesis of high-quality vanadium dioxide thermochromic thin films. The films obtained showed excellent visible transparency and a large change in transmittance at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths before and after the metal−insulator phase transition (MIPT). For a 59 nm thick single-layer VO2 thin film, the integral values of visible transmittance (Tint) for metallic (M) and semiconductive (S) states were 54.1% and 49.1%, respectively, while the NIR switching efficiencies (ΔT) were as high as 50% at 2000 nm. Thinner films can provide much higher transmittance of visible light, but they suffer from an attenuation of the switching efficiency in the near-infrared region. By varying the film thickness, ultrahigh Tint values of 75.2% and 75.7% for the M and S states, respectively, were obtained, while the ΔT at 2000 nm remained high. These results represent the best data for VO2 to date. Thicker films in an optimized range can give enhanced NIR switching efficiencies and excellent NIR blocking abilities; in a particularly impressive experiment, one film provided near-zero NIR transmittance in the switched state. The thickness-dependent performance suggests that VO2 will be of great use in the objective-specific applications. The reflectance and emissivity at the wavelength range of 2.5−25 μm before and after the MIPT were dependent on the film thickness; large contrasts were observed for relatively thick films. This work also showed that the MIPT temperature can be reduced simply by selecting the annealing temperature that induces local nonstoichiometry; a MIPT temperature as low as 42.7 °C was obtained by annealing the film at 440 °C. These properties (the high visible transmittance, the large change in infrared transmittance, and the near room-temperature MIPT) suggest that the current method is a landmark in the development of this interesting material toward applications in energy-saving smart windows.

VO 2 thin films are widely studied materials for uncooled infrared detection because of their high temperature coefficient of resistance. In this research, Nb-doped VO 2 films were synthesized with the expectation that Nb doping would reduce the metal-insulator-transition temperature via electron doping and strain effects caused by the relatively large ionic radius of Nb, thus improving the resistance temperature coefficient of the doped films. The doped films displayed superior thermal sensing abilities compared with pure VO 2 films. As the amount of Nb doping increased, the thermal hysteresis and resistivity of the doped films decreased, while the transition temperature range widened. When the Nb-doping content reached 10%, the temperature coefficient of resistance reached -3.2%/K, while the metal-insulator transition temperature dropped to 52.2 °C. The high performance of the doped films proved that the strategy of Nb doping in VO 2 was promising for thermal-sensing applications.

Monoclinic VO2(M) has been considered as one of the most promising materials for fabricating energy-saving smart windows, but its scalable synthesis is still a great challenge. In this work, pure and tungsten (W)-doped VO2(M) nanoparticles (20–50 nm) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal recrystallization method using an amorphous precursor obtained from coprecipitation in a mixed VOSO4 and NaOH solution (pH = 9). The phase transition temperature of the obtained W-doped VO2(M) nanoparticles decreases with increasing W-doping, by −28.4 °C per at% of W in the range of 0–1.1 at%. The mechanism of hydrothermal recrystallization was studied by using ex situ powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and in situ synchrotron radiation-based PXRD. It was found that the hydrothermal synthesis underwent two steps: (1) recrystallization of amorphous precursor to VO2(B) crystals, and (2) allotropic phase transformation from the metastable intermediate VO2(B) to VO2(M). In addition, the fabricated films using VO2(M) with 0.7 at% W-doping showed excellent thermochromic performance, with a suitable phase transition temperature of 42.7 °C, high average luminance transmittance of up to 61.7%, and good solar energy modulation ability of 11.7%, making them a suitable material for efficient and low-cost energy saving smart windows.

Although lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) have high theoretical capacity and energy density , low conductivity of sulfur and the discharge species (Li 2 S 2 , Li 2 S), the polysulfide shuttle and the large volume change hinder the commercialization of LSBs. To tackle the problem, we hydrothermally prepared a special cocklebur-like ZnSe-VO 2 @rGO nanostructure , in which graphene oxide (GO) is active in inducing thorn-like VO 2 nanorods grown on carambola-like VO 2 nanostructures. In this structure, the polar VO 2 and ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) have strong chemical adsorption that can catalyze the polysulfide conversion and alleviate the shuttle effect; besides, the thorn-like VO 2 nanorods act like numerous tentacles that capture polysulfides by increasing the contact area, and the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets not only buffer the volume change, but also enhance the conductivity of the framework and improve the ion and electron transfer . Boosted by the synergetic effects of VO 2 , rGO and ZnSe QDs, the ZnSe-VO 2 @rGO/S cathode achieves a high specific capacity of 1026.1 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C and 712.3 mA h g −1 at 2 C. Good cyclic stability was obtained as well, with a high reversible capacity of 820 mA h g −1 and high retention of 89.1 % after cycling at 0.5 C for 150 cycles. Such outstanding performance indicated its good potential for use in advanced LSBs.

Traditional vanadium dioxide (VO2) material faced severe challenges of low stability in acid, humid, and oxygenic environments, which hinder its real applications. Here, we report a facile improving process which can enhanced the stability of VO2 nanocrystals in the environments above. Ascorbic acid (AA), as an important antioxidant for organism in medicine and biology, was ingeniously used for enhancing the antioxidation abilities of inorganic material. At the same time, the AA could generate the hydrogen doping occurred on the surface of VO2 nanocrystals, which enhanced their Antiacid abilities simultaneously. The AA treated VO2 nanocrystals retain stable in H2SO4 and H2O2 solution and exhibit high durability in hyperthermal (60 °C) and humid (90%) environment. Characterizations and first-principles theoretical calculations confirmed that the coordination of ascorbic acid molecules on VO2 nanocrystals induced charge-carrier density reorganization and protons transferring electrostatically. Then the formed HxVO2 provides an enhancing formation energy for oxygen vacancy and protects the particles from corrosion. This work is beneficial to the VO2 nanoparticles coated and decorated processes and exhibit good potential for practical application of VO2-based smart windows.

Designing cathodes with long service life, remarkable rate capability and all-climate workable is crucial to improve the performance of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, we constructed a vanadium dioxide/graphene oxide (VO 2 (B)/GO) sample that combines VO 2 with GO through hydrothermal route and can simultaneously provide rate capability. VO 2 (B)/GO is rich in oxygen vacancies , which weakens the electrostatic force , and GO prevents vanadium oxidation . Density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate oxygen vacancies can offer more storage sites with increased reaction kinetics. The electrode exhibited a high reversible capacity of 423 mAh g −1 at 0.5 A g −1 and preserved long-life cycling properties at 15 A g −1 . The presence of oxygen vacancies and GO can contribute to the excellent performance and prevent the structure of VO 2 from collapsing during cycling. We successfully lit up commercial light-emitting diode (LED) lights with a VO 2 (B)/GO electrode. In addition, VO 2 (B)/GO exhibits excellent performance in all-climate conditions (-15-60 °C). This combinatorial design strategy provides a broadly applicable approach for durability and all-climate workable batteries .

Amino modified Fe3O4@SiO2 (Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2) was used to immobilize Cu2+ and VO2+ for preparing Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–Cu2+ and Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–VO2+ catalysts. Various technologies had been used for the characteristics of catalysts, such as XRD, XPS, FT-IR, SEM, TEM and VSM. The catalytic performance of Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–VO2+ in HMF oxidation could be significantly enhanced by the use of Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–Cu2+ as the co-catalysts. The type of reaction solvents showed a great influence on the oxidation of HMF. The highest HMF conversion reached up to 98.7% at 110 °C in toluene with an optimal 2,5-diformylfuran yield of 85.5%. Moreover, the Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–Cu2+ and Fe3O4@SiO2–NH2–VO2+ catalyst exhibited great stability and could be readily applied in the next recycle after magnetic separation.

VO2 is a promising candidate for smart energy-saving windows because of its unique thermochromism but suffers from a high transition temperature of 68 °C and poor thermochromic performance near room temperature. We fabricated a W-VO2/Cs0.32WO3 (CWO) composite flexible film, which shows a low transition temperature of 31.1 °C (W-VO2/CWO = 1:1) and much enhanced near-infrared shielding performance. The optimal W-VO2 + 0.5CWO reaches a desired near-infrared shielding efficiency of 76.34%. A model-house test under simulated solar irradiation further signifies the excellence of the W-VO2 + 0.5CWO composite flexible film under ambient conditions. The robust performance is attributed to the synergetic effects between W-VO2 and Cs0.32WO3, among which the former possesses a low MIT transition temperature and the latter possesses photo-thermal performance.
