Aqueous dual-ion batteries (ADIBs) represent an innovative energy storage system utilizing dual-ion (anion/cation) charge carriers. These systems exhibit inherent safety, environmental benignity, economic viability, and rapid reaction kinetics, demonstrating significant potential for large-scale energy storage applications. Nevertheless, the intricate anion storage mechanisms, coupled with a range of critical challenges arising from the constrained electrochemical stability window (ESW) of aqueous media, electrode-associated parasitic reactions, the low specific capacity or operating voltage of cathode materials, and dramatic volume changes, pose significant obstacles to their practical application. This review explores the mechanisms of anion storage, the challenges faced, and the design of electrolytes in ADIBs. It elucidates anion storage pathways, including intercalation/deintercalation, coordination/dissociation, conversion reactions, conversion-intercalation, and analyzes limitations such as the narrow ESW, unsatisfactory coulombic efficiency, limited energy density, and poor cycling performance. Strategies for electrolyte design to enhance ADIBs performance are discussed with emphasis on the impact of electrolyte composition on solvation structures, hydrogen-bond networks, insertion potential, and the electrode-electrolyte interface. The review concludes with personal insights into ADIBs development, offering a roadmap for advancing anion reaction chemistry and electrolyte optimization in future research endeavors.

The rapid depletion of fossil fuels and growing concerns about environmental issues is driving the demand for renewable energy storage systems. Zinc−ion batteries (ZIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative due to their cost−effectiveness, safety, and environmental compatibility. However, practical applications of ZIBs are hindered by challenges such as zinc dendrite formation, hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), and cathode material dissolution. To address these issues, metal−organic framework (MOF) and covalent organic framework (COF) have emerged as promising solutions, owing to their high porosity, tunable structures, and excellent ionic conductivity. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in MOF/COF and their derivatives in ZIBs. It also examines their roles in cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, and separators, with a particular focus on the relationship between material structure and electrochemical performance, as well as reaction mechanisms. Finally, the paper identifies the challenges faced by MOF/COF and their derivatives, and explores potential molecular−level strategies for overcoming these issues.

Despite the well-known advantages of aqueous zinc-ion energy storage devices, their development is hindered by challenges such as zinc dendrite formation and side reactions. Moreover, reducing costs and improving efficiency are essential to achieving their commercialization. This study addresses the issues associated with conventional zinc sulfate electrolytes by introducing a safe and moderate concentration of glycerophosphocholine (G) as an additive. Experimental characterization and theoretical calculations show that additive G molecules regulate the solvation structure of zinc ions and modify the adsorption behavior of zinc metal at the electrolyte interface. This dual action suppresses the decomposition of active water molecules and guides the oriented deposition of zinc ions. From the perspective of practical application, high-performance zinc-ion hybrid capacitors are fabricated using fully printed electrodes via a cost-effective and scalable screen-printing method and possess a high capacity retention of 87.09 % after 6000 cycles. These devices demonstrate exceptional electrochemical performance and can accelerate the lab-to-fab translation process, showing great potential for commercialization.

Despite being extensively expected as an eco-friendly and cost-effective electrode manufacturing technique in batteries, the solvent-free (SF) technique still suffers from poor mechanical stability and inhomogeneous mixing, especially for ultra-thick electrode. Herein, we pivot from unusual shear force field regulation, proposing a pulsed mixing (PM) strategy to redefine energy release criterion. Mechanical evaluation and X-ray Nano-CT tomography demonstrate that PM strategy can construct uniform and robust SF ultra-thick electrode with 3D charge transfer highway and deeply interconnected charge carrier permeable network by optimizing dynamic connections among electroactive materials. As a proof of concept, an unprecedented ultra-high mass loading of 121 mg cm−2 can be achieved in a SF LiMn2O4 (LMO) electrode with a capacity of 11.6 mA h cm−2, and appealing cyclability over 30 times. Furthermore, the thick SF LMO (58 mg cm−2) displays a high-capacity retention of 93 % over 100 cycles at 0.1 C. Even the assembled SF LMO||Si/C full cell also exhibits good cycle stability with a capacity retention of 87.5 % after 100 cycles. The finding signifies a paradigm innovate and introduces transformative opportunities for the design of high-performance and green batteries.

The high sintering temperature, low mechanical properties and instability of lithium metal have consistently hindered the practicality of Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). Herein, a meticulously designed mechano-electrical buffer layer is constructed at grain boundaries (GBs) of LATP by introducing Li2B4O7 (LBO) glass-ceramic. LBO can generate a liquid phase with high Young's modulus and low electronic conductivity at GBs to simultaneously reduce sintering temperature, and enhance the mechanical strength and electrical insulation of LATP. The construction of a mechano-electrical buffer layer at GBs leads to three significant achievements: the reduced sintering temperature from 950 to 750 °C, the enhanced mechanical strength from 9.9 to 117.5 MPa, and the decreased electronic conductivity from 1.2 × 10-9 to 1.5 × 10-10 S cm-1. When coupled with a solid polymer electrolyte, it effectively protects LATP from internal microcrack propagation and electron attack. Remarkably, the critical current density (CCD) of the modified LATP can reach 2 mA cm-2. Moreover, the lithium metal battery with LiFePO4 demonstrates outstanding stability of more than 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of 93.3% at 0.2 C. This work provides new insights into improving the performance of SSEs by enhancing both mechanical strength and electrical insulation.

Sulfur-based cathodes offer a promising high-energy-density alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, their commercial viability is hindered by limited stability due to the gradual loss of active sulfur during cycling. This study addresses this challenge by introducing a cobalt-doped spinel oxide as a catalytic additive, designed to enhance the performance and stability of sulfur cathodes with minimized cobalt usage. Small amounts of cobalt doping improve the adsorption of sulfur species through stronger electronic interactions with antibonding orbitals and accelerate charge transfer, thereby promoting more efficient sulfur redox reactions. Cobalt also lowers the energy barrier for Li2S formation, a critical step in the cycling process. Specifically, Co-doped MnFe2O4 with 2.4 wt % Co demonstrates a remarkable initial capacity of 1302 mAh/g at 0.1C, excellent rate capability with 700 mAh/g at 4C, and stable cycling performance with an average capacity decay of just 0.03 % per cycle at 0.5C over 200 cycles. Overall, this work underscores the potential of cobalt-doped spinel structures as catalytic additives to mitigate the limitations of sulfur cathodes, paving the way for more stable and high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.

Two-dimensional materials have acquired considerable concerns in sodium-ion batteries although there are some challenges involving the number of active sites and structural stability. In this present contribution, the electrochemical nature of proposed GeSiP2 and GeSiSb2 monolayers as anode materials are systematically predicted through first-principles calculations. The results indicate that the compounds have the dynamic and mechanical stability according to phonon dispersion curves and cohesive energies. They are internally bonded by covalent bonds and retain better electrical conductivity after embedding sodium. The lower migration barrier of 0.074 eV from the Hollow site of six-membered ring to that of an adjacent ring can be obtained in the Sb-Si terminal case for GeSiSb2, with the suitable diffusion coefficient of 0.69 × 10–3 cm2/s. Additionally, there are lattice constant changes of 13.7 % and 3.89 % after adsorption of the maximum Na atom concentration for GeSiP2 and GeSiSb2, respectively, ensuring structural stability during cycling. Moreover, the maximum theoretical specific capacities of 988.58 mAh/g and 467.14 mAh/g, with suitable average open-circuit voltages of 0.48 V and 0.37 V, respectively, can be determined. All these findings illustrate that these two compounds display great potential as electrode materials for metal-ion batteries in the field of energy storage.

Ultra-high nickel layered cathodes suffer accelerated degradation through a mechanically and chemically coupled cycle, highlighting the need to concurrently enhance durability and stability, especially at high voltages to prolong service life. This work demonstrates that tungsten near-surface doping can induce spinel nanodots, effectively improving the mechanical-chemical synergy of LiNi0.9Co0.05Mn0.05O2. Micro-compression testing of individual cycled crystalline particles is employed to reveal the quantized compression strength and modulus of materials.

Layered cathode materials represent promising candidates for rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs). Among them, hydrated vanadyl phosphate (VOPO4·2H2O) has gained traction due to its relatively high redox potential. However, its limited interlayer spacing leads to sluggish Mg2+ diffusion kinetics and low specific capacity. We address this issue by systematically studying various organic molecules as pre-insertion agents. We introduce theoretical descriptors, including molecular orbital energy levels and adsorption energy of organic molecules on VOPO4 material, to guide the selection of applicable interlayer-expanding agents. Our di-n-butylamine (PD) pre-inserted VOPO4 (PD-VOPO4) cathode exhibited an expanded interlayer spacing from 0.746 nm to 1.42 nm and simultaneously delivered superior stability. It delivered an enhanced specific capacity of 118.5 mAh·g−1 with a high discharge potential of 2.74 V (vs. Mg2+/Mg) at 50 mA·g−1, and retained 81.2 % of its capacity over 200 cycles. Theoretical calculations and electrochemical characterizations demonstrated that the PD-VOPO4 cathode exhibited faster Mg2+ migration kinetics and a higher intercalation amount, while ex-situ characterization measurements revealed the co-intercalation mechanism of solvated Mg2+. This work offers new insights into the development of high-voltage, stable, and high-capacity layered cathode materials for RMBs.
