Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There has been imperious demand for high energy densities and long life cycles in order to satisfy the ever-growing requirements of next-generation energy storage systems. Novel-concept battery systems, such as dual-ion batteries, halogen batteries, ammonium-ion batteries, decoupled design batteries and others, have emerged in the past few years in an attempt to overcome the shortcomings of traditional battery systems or to achieve superior performance over them. In this Special Issue, entitled "Breakthroughs in Traditional Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems", various types of novel battery systems, their development history, reaction mechanism, and the electrodes and electrolytes involved will be summarized, aiming to a provide reference for new researchers entering this field. Moreover, the relevant optimization strategies, including the modification of electrodes, electrolytes and the configuration design, will be reported. Furthermore, the research challenges and possible development directions of novel-concept battery systems will be defined. This Special Issue provides an opportunity for researchers in the field to exchange ideas, to solve problems collaboratively, stimulate ideas and strengthen cooperation. Our aim is to contribute to the further development of novel-concept batteries.

Abstract
With the urgent demand for clean energy, rechargeable zinc–air batteries (ZABs) are attracting increasing attention. Precious-metal-based electrocatalysts (e.g., commercial Pt/C and IrO2) are reported to be highly active towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

With the urgent demand for clean energy, rechargeable zinc–air batteries (ZABs) are attracting increasing attention. Precious-metal-based electrocatalysts (e.g., commercial Pt/C and IrO2) are reported to be highly active towards the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Nevertheless, the limited catalytic kinetics, along with the scarcity of noble metals, still hinder the practical applications of ZABs. Consequently, it is of great importance to explore efficient bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalysts with abundant reserves. Although iron oxides are considered to have some of the greatest potential as catalysts among the metal oxides, owing to their excellent redox properties, lower toxicity, simple preparation, and natural abundance, their poor electrical conductivity and high agglomeration still limit their development. In this work, we report a special Se quantum dots@ CoFeOx (Se-FeOx-Co) composite material, which exhibits outstanding bifunctional catalytic properties. And the potential gap between ORR and OER is low at 0.87 V. In addition, the ZAB based on Se-FeOx-Co achieves a satisfactory open-circuit voltage (1.46 V) along with an operation durability over 800 min. This research explores an effective strategy to fabricate iron oxide-based bifunctional catalysts, which contributes to the future design of related materials. Full article
