摘要

The development of aqueous ammonium-ion batteries (AAIBs) is constrained by the scarcity of robust anode materials. MoO3, featuring large ionic migration channels and high theoretical capacity, has been extensively studied as a potential host anode material for the reversible intercalation and deintercalation of NH4+. However, the sluggish ionic migration kinetics, structural degradation caused by the stress of large-sized NH4+ ions, and chemical corrosion in the electrolytes lead to dramatic capacity fading and short lifespan of MoO3. Herein, we propose an interphase engineering approach to simultaneously achieve high capacity and excellent cycling stability for AAIBs by employing a concentrated 24 m NH4CF3SO3 electrolyte to construct a stable solid electrolyte interface that inhibits parasitic reactions and dissolution. The strategy endows the MoO3 anode with remarkable cyclability, retaining 73.6% of its initial capacity after 500 cycles at 25 A g−1. When evaluated in full-cell configurations, our approach achieves high energy density of 80.8 Wh kg−1 and outstanding durability, with 64.1% capacity retention over 4000 cycles at 20 A g−1. This work offers valuable insights into the design of interface chemistry for high-performance AAIBs.
