Abstract
The merits of Li-O2 batteries due to the huge energy density are shadowed by the sluggish kinetics of oxygen redox and massive side reactions caused by conductive carbon and a binder. Herein, Fe-Co inverse spinel oxide nanowires grown on Ni foam are fabricated as carbon-free and binder-free cathodes for Li-O2 batteries. Superior high rate cycle durability and deep charge capability are obtained. For example, 300 cycles with a low overpotential under a fixed capacity of 500 mAh g-1 are achieved at a high current density of 500 mA g-1. In the deep discharge/charge mode at 500 mA g-1, the optimized Fe-Co oxide cathode can stably work for more than 30 cycles with the capacity maintained at about 2100 mAh g-1. Owing to the appreciable incorporation of Fe3+ into the surface of stable inverse spinel oxides, the regulated Fe-Co oxide cathodes possess a more stable and higher ratio of Co3+/Co2+, which offers improved adsorption ability of reactive oxygen intermediates and thus achieves the enhanced electrocatalytic performance in the higher current density. In addition, the morphology evolution from array to pyramid-like structure of nanowires further provides assurance in the superior cycle capability. By coupling pyramid-shaped nanowires with binary inverse spinel, the obtained Fe-Co oxide becomes a promising material for practical applications in Li-O2 batteries. This work offers a general strategy to design efficient mixed metal oxide-based electrodes for the critical energy storage fields.

Abstract
The development of active electrocatalysts for enhancing Li2O2 decomposition kinetics plays an important role in reducing the overpotential of Li-O2 batteries. However, a catalytic descriptor is not established due to the difficult characterization of the charge transfer between Li2O2 and the catalyst. Here, we employ first-principles thermodynamic calculations to study the electrocatalytic mechanism of 4d transition metals. We found that charge acceptation and donation capacities of catalysts, defined as surface electron affinity (VSEA) and surface ionic potential (VSIP), take cooperative responsibilities for the activation of Li-O2 bonds and the reduction of desorption barriers of Li+ and O2, respectively. Therefore, we define surface electronegativity VSE (VSE = (VSEA + VSIP)/2), which exhibits a volcano curve with a reduced charge overpotential, as the catalytic descriptor. We identified those catalysts with surface electronegativities of 1.7-2.2 V to have highly catalytic activities in the reduction of the charge overpotential, which are well verified by previous experimental data. The present study opens a wide avenue in the development of high-activity catalysts for interfacial electrocatalysts by an effective descriptor.

Abstract
Li-air batteries operated in ambient air are imperative toward real practical applications. However, the passivation of lithium metal anodes induced by attacking air hinders their long-term running, accelerating the degradation of Li-air batteries. Herein, a hydrogel-derived hierarchical porous carbon (HDHPC) layer with superhydrophobicity is proved as an effective Li-protective layer for a Li-air battery that suppresses the H2O attack and lithium dendrite formation during cycling. Accordingly, the HDHPC protective layer-based Li-air cell exhibits eminent cycling stability in ambient air [relative humidity (RH) of ∼40%], which is far better than that of the Li-air cell without the HDHPC protective layer. It is also demonstrated that the conversion of O2/Li2O2 in Li-air batteries adversely affects the decomposition of the byproduct and electrolyte. The usage of the HDHPC protective layer pioneers a new avenue of developing high-performance Li-air batteries in ambient air.

Abstract
Highly active, durable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts have an essential role in promoting the continuous operation of advanced energy technologies such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Considering the scarce reserve of Pt and its unsatisfactory overall performance, there is an urgent demand for the development of new generation ORR electrocatalysts that are substantially better than the state-of-the-art supported Pt-based nanocatalysts, such as Pt/C. Among various nanostructures, bimetallic PtAu represents one unique alloy system where highly contradictory performance has been reported. While it is generally accepted that Au may contribute to stabilizing Pt, its role in modulating the intrinsic activity of Pt remains unclear. This perspective will discuss critical structural issues that affect the intrinsic ORR activities of bimetallic PtAu, with an eye on elucidating the origin of seemingly inconsistent experimental results from the literature. As a relatively new class of electrodes, we will also highlight the performance of dealloyed nanoporous gold (NPG) based electrocatalysts, which allow a unique combination of structural properties highly desired for this important reaction. Finally, we will put forward the challenges and opportunities for the incorporation of these advanced electrocatalysts into membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) for actual fuel cells.

Abstract
Exploring oxygen electrodes with superior bifunctional catalytic activity and suitable architecture is an effective strategy to improve the performance of lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries. Herein, the internal electronic structure of Ni2P is regulated by heteroatom Co doping to improve its catalytic activity for oxygen redox reactions. Meanwhile, magnetron sputtering N-doped carbon cloth (N-CC) is used as a scaffold to enhance the electrical conductivity. The deliberately designed Co-Ni2P on N-CC (Co-Ni2P@N-CC) with a typical 3D interconnected architecture facilitates the formation of abundant solid-liquid-gas three-phase reaction interfaces inside the architecture. Furthermore, the rational catalyst/substrate interfacial interaction is capable of inducing a solvation-mediated pathway to form toroidal-Li2O2. The results show that the Co-Ni2P@N-CC based Li-O2 battery exhibits an ultra-low overpotential (0.73 V), enhanced rate performance (4487 mA h g-1 at 500 mA g-1) and durability (stable operation over 671 h). The pouch-type battery based on the Co-Ni2P@N-CC flexible electrode runs stably for 581 min in air without obvious voltage attenuation. This work verifies that heterogeneous atom doping and interface interaction can remarkably strengthen the performance of Li-O2 cells and thus pave new avenues towards developing high-performance metal-air batteries.

Abstract
Developing single-site catalysts featuring maximum atom utilization efficiency is urgently desired to improve oxidation-reduction efficiency and cycling capability of lithium-oxygen batteries. Here, we report a green method to synthesize isolated cobalt atoms embedded ultrathin nitrogen-rich carbon as a dual-catalyst for lithium-oxygen batteries. The achieved electrode with maximized exposed atomic active sites is beneficial for tailoring formation/decomposition mechanisms of uniformly distributed nano-sized lithium peroxide during oxygen reduction/evolution reactions due to abundant cobalt-nitrogen coordinate catalytic sites, thus demonstrating greatly enhanced redox kinetics and efficiently ameliorated over-potentials. Critically, theoretical simulations disclose that rich cobalt-nitrogen moieties as the driving force centers can drastically enhance the intrinsic affinity of intermediate species and thus fundamentally tune the evolution mechanism of the size and distribution of final lithium peroxide. In the lithium-oxygen battery, the electrode affords remarkably decreased charge/discharge polarization (0.40 V) and long-term cyclability (260 cycles at 400 mA g-1).

Abstract
The use of concentrated aprotic electrolytes in lithium batteries provides numerous potential applications, including the use of high-voltage cathodes and Li-metal anodes. In this paper, we aim at understanding the effect of salt concentration on the variation of the Li/Li+ Quasi-Reference Electrode (QRE) potential in Tetraglyme (TG)-based electrolytes. Comparing the obtained results to those achieved using Dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO-based electrolytes, we are now able to take a step forward and understand how the effect of solvent coordination and its donor number (DN) is attributed to the Li-QRE potential shift. Using a revised Nernst equation, the alteration of the Li redox potential with salt concentration was determined accurately. It is found that, in TG, the Li-QRE shift follows a different trend than in DMSO owing to the lower DN and expected shorter lifespan of the solvated cation complex.

Abstract
The liquid electrolytes in lithium-air (oxygen) batteries are prone to volatilize, leak, flame, and cause uneven deposition of lithium during cycling, which makes the batteries to face serious problems in terms of safety and cycling stability. A novel Janus quasi-solid composite polymer electrolyte was fabricated by perfluorosulfonic acid (Nafion) membranes with tunable thickness and poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP). The Nafion membranes not only guarantee the mechanical strength of the composites but also effectively prevent the migration of certain anions and macromolecules. The results indicate that Janus quasi-solid composite polymer electrolytes have excellent thermal stability, high lithium-ion migration number, and wide electrochemical window. Lithium-oxygen batteries using the novel quasi-solid composite electrolytes perform lower polarization and better cycling stability. The excellent properties of the quasi-solid composite electrolytes make it one of the effective materials for improving the cycling stability of lithium-air (oxygen) batteries.

Abstract
Iron-nitrogen-carbon (Fe-N-C) electrocatalysts have been demonstrated to be promising candidates to substitute conventional Pt/C electrocatalysts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) due to the benefits of high efficiency and affordable price. Unfortunately, Fe is prone to aggregation upon high-temperature treatment, which may cover the active sites of the Fe-Nx species and further affect the ORR performance. Thus, the key issue is to avoid Fe aggregation and keep it uniformly dispersed as much as possible. In this work, Fe-N-C catalysts with robust Fe-Nx species in hollow carbon frameworks were created via in situ growth of Fe doped Zn based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) on g-C3N4 with the subsequent pyrolysis treatment. The developed catalysts demonstrate superb ORR activity, high resistance to methanol and ultralong stability as compared with traditional Pt/C catalysts in alkaline solution. The brilliant performance benefits from the firm connection and robust structure of the optimal Fe-Nx species that are homogeneously dispersed in the hollow carbon frameworks. This work presents a facile and reasonable strategy for the development of excellent ORR electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C requires a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions across many sectors of the world economy. Batteries are vital to this endeavor, whether used in electric vehicles, to store renewable electricity, or in aviation. Present lithium-ion technologies are preparing the public for this inevitable change, but their maximum theoretical specific capacity presents a limitation. Their high cost is another concern for commercial viability. Metal-air batteries have the highest theoretical energy density of all possible secondary battery technologies and could yield step changes in energy storage, if their practical difficulties could be overcome. The scope of this review is to provide an objective, comprehensive, and authoritative assessment of the intensive work invested in nonaqueous rechargeable metal-air batteries over the past few years, which identified the key problems and guides directions to solve them. We focus primarily on the challenges and outlook for Li-O2 cells but include Na-O2, K-O2, and Mg-O2 cells for comparison. Our review highlights the interdisciplinary nature of this field that involves a combination of materials chemistry, electrochemistry, computation, microscopy, spectroscopy, and surface science. The mechanisms of O2 reduction and evolution are considered in the light of recent findings, along with developments in positive and negative electrodes, electrolytes, electrocatalysis on surfaces and in solution, and the degradative effect of singlet oxygen, which is typically formed in Li-O2 cells.

Abstract
Nonaqueous lithium-air batteries have garnered considerable research interest over the past decade due to their extremely high theoretical energy densities and potentially low cost. Significant advances have been achieved both in the mechanistic understanding of the cell reactions and in the development of effective strategies to help realize a practical energy storage device. By drawing attention to reports published mainly within the past 8 years, this review provides an updated mechanistic picture of the lithium peroxide based cell reactions and highlights key remaining challenges, including those due to the parasitic processes occurring at the reaction product-electrolyte, product-cathode, electrolyte-cathode, and electrolyte-anode interfaces. We introduce the fundamental principles and critically evaluate the effectiveness of the different strategies that have been proposed to mitigate the various issues of this chemistry, which include the use of solid catalysts, redox mediators, solvating additives for oxygen reaction intermediates, gas separation membranes, etc. Recently established cell chemistries based on the superoxide, hydroxide, and oxide phases are also summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Metal-air batteries (MABs) and reversible fuel cells (RFCs) rely on the bifunctional oxygen catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Finding efficient bifunctional oxygen catalysts is the ultimate goal and it has attracted a great deal of attention. The dilemma is that a good ORR catalyst is not necessarily efficient for OER, and vice versa. Thus, the development of a new type of bifunctional oxygen catalysts should ensure that the catalysts exhibit high activity for both OER and ORR. Composites with multicomponents for active centers supported on highly conductive matrices could be able to meet the challenges and offering new opportunities. In this Review, the evolution of bifunctional catalysts is summarized and discussed aiming to deliver high-performance bifunctional catalysts with low overpotentials.

Abstract
With a recent increase in interest in metal-gas batteries, the lithium-carbon dioxide cell has attracted considerable attention because of its extraordinary carbon dioxide-capture ability during the discharge process and its potential application as a power source for Mars exploration. However, owing to the stable lithium carbonate discharge product, the cell enables operation only at low current densities, which significantly limits the application of lithium-carbon dioxide batteries and effective carbon dioxide-capture cells. Here, we investigate a high-performance lithium-carbon dioxide cell using a quinary molten salt electrolyte and ruthenium nanoparticles on the carbon cathode. The nitrate-based molten salt electrolyte allows us to observe the enhanced carbon dioxide-capture rate and the reduced discharge-charge over-potential gap with that of conventional lithium-carbon dioxide cells. Furthermore, owing to the ruthernium catalyst, the cell sustains its performance over more than 300 cycles at a current density of 10.0 A g−1 and exhibits a peak power density of 33.4 mW cm−2. Lithium-carbon dioxide cells are challenging due to the sluggish electron transfer in the Lithium carbonate in aprotic electrolyte. Here, the authors report synergistic effect of molten salt electrolyte and Ruthenium catalyst to enhance the electrochemical performance of Lithium-carbon dioxide batteries

Abstract
Metal-air batteries have exhibited unlimited potential and economic value because of their considerably high energy density. However, under repeated cycling, air cathodes undergo a well-known problem, the deposition of metal oxide, clogging the active surface and ultimately leading to the severe degradation of the cyclic performance. Herein, we address this challenge in a zinc-air battery by introducing ketone as the Lewis base into the air catalyst. As illustrated by in situ X-ray diffraction observations, the ketone-enriched material could generate an ultrahigh negative potential to prevent the access of negatively charged zincate ions and thus enable the nondeposition of zinc oxide on the air cathode because of the strong electrostatic repulsion. Using this strategy, we demonstrate 650 highly stable cycles of a zinc-air battery under a high rate (25 mA cm-2). Such a Lewis-base-assisted method opens up new avenues to prevent air cathodes from being poisoned for highly durable metal-air batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently dominating the portable electronics market and supplying power for electric vehicles and grid-level storage. However, lithium loss in the formation cycle at the anode side reduces the energy density of state-of-the-art LIBs with carbon anode materials. This situation will be even more severe for future LIBs using high-capacity Si-based anode materials. In this study, a transition metal-based nanocomposite with built-in lithium source was synthesized, featuring Fe nanodomains with a size of ∼5 nm uniformly dispersed in a hybrid Li2O and LiF matrix with intimate contact between them. The Fe/LiF/Li2O nanocomposite released a high Li-ion capacity of 550 mA h/g based on a multielectron inverse conversion reaction during the first-cycle charge process and exhibited better ambient stability than the counterpart with a pure Li2O matrix and also a lower lithium-extraction voltage and faster reaction kinetics than the counterpart with a pure LiF matrix. Serving as an additive to various cathodes (e.g., LiCoO2, LiFePO4, and LiNi1-x-yCoxMnyO2), the Fe/LiF/Li2O nanocomposite showed excellent lithium compensation effect. Using 4.8 wt % Fe/LiF/Li2O additive based on the total mass of the electrodes, a LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2|SiO-graphite full cell with a high cathode mass loading of 20 mg/cm2 exhibited a high reversible capacity of 2.9 mA h/cm2 at 0.5 C after 100 cycles which is a 15% increase in comparison to the counterpart without the prelithiation additive. After the Fe/LiF/Li2O nanocomposite was immersed into the electrolyte and rested for 72 h, the content of iron metal in the electrolyte was negligible, indicating that this prelithiation additive was stable in the electrolyte and would not cause any side reactions, such as the shuttle of iron ions during cycling. The high "donor" Li-ion capacity, good ambient stability, and its compatibility with existing cathode materials and battery fabrication processes make the Fe/LiF/Li2O nanocomposite a promising cathode prelithiation additive to offset the initial lithium loss and improve the energy density of LIBs.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries have had a tremendous impact on several sectors of our society; however, the intrinsic limitations of Li-ion chemistry limits their ability to meet the increasing demands of developing more advanced portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid-scale energy storage systems. Therefore, battery chemistries beyond Li ions are being intensively investigated and need urgent breakthroughs toward commercial applications, wherein the use of metallic Li is one of the most intuitive choices. Despite several decades of oblivion due to safety concerns regarding the growth of Li dendrites, Li-metal anodes are now poised to be revived because of the advances in investigative tools and globally invested efforts. In this review, we first summarize the existing issues with regard to Li anodes and their underlying reasons and then highlight the recent progress made in the development of high-performance Li anodes. Finally, we propose the persisting challenges and opportunities toward the exploration of practical Li-metal anodes.

Abstract
Li-metal anode is widely acknowledged as the ideal anode for high-energy-density batteries, but seriously hindered by the uncontrollable dendrite growth and infinite volume change. Toward this goal, suitable stable scaffolds for dendrite-free Li anodes with large current density (>5 mA cm-2) and high Li loading (>90%) are highly in demand. Herein, a conductive and lithiophilic three-dimensional (3D) MXene/graphene (MG) framework is demonstrated for a dendrite-free Li-metal anode. Benefiting from its high surface area (259 m2 g-1) and lightweight nature with uniformly dispersed lithiophilic MXene nanosheets as Li nucleation sites, the as-formed 3D MG scaffold showcases an ultrahigh Li content (∼92% of the theoretical capacity), as well as strong capabilities in suppressing the Li-dendrite formation and accommodating the volume changes. Consequently, the MG-based electrode exhibits high Coulombic efficiencies (∼99%) with a record lifespan up to 2700 h and is stable for 230 cycles at an ultrahigh current density of 20 mA cm-2. When coupled with Li4Ti5O12 or sulfur, the MG-Li/Li4Ti5O12 full-cell offers an enhanced capacity of 142 mAh g-1 after 450 cycles, while the MG-Li/sulfur cell delivers an improved rate performance, implying the great potential of this 3D MG framework for building long-lifetime, high-energy-density batteries.

Abstract
Compared to lithium-oxygen batteries, sodium-oxygen (Na-O2) batteries exhibit a number of advantages: extremely low cost, low charging overpotential, and stability under nitrogen. However, accumulation of insoluble discharge products and failure of catalysts often result in poor performance of Na-O2 batteries and limit their cycling life. In this work, electrochemical reactions of Na-O2 batteries were directly investigated in situ by assembling a solid-state Na-O2 nanobattery in an aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscope. During discharge, NaO2 hollow spheres formed and expanded continuously, accompanying their partial decomposition into Na2O2. These spheres shrank and collapsed into Na2O2 nanoparticles during the charging process. Carbon nanotubes doped with Pt and bimetallic Pt/Ir nanoscale catalyst can promote product formation and reversible evolution. In-depth investigation of the electrochemical reaction mechanism in Na-O2 cells helps to accelerate the development of metal-air devices.

Abstract
The electrochemical properties and performances of lithium-ion batteries are primarily governed by their constituent electrode materials, whose intrinsic thermodynamic and kinetic properties are understood as the determining factor. As a part of complementing the intrinsic material properties, the strategy of nanosizing has been widely applied to electrodes to improve battery performance. It has been revealed that this not only improves the kinetics of the electrode materials but is also capable of regulating their thermodynamic properties, taking advantage of nanoscale phenomena regarding the changes in redox potential, solid-state solubility of the intercalation compounds, and reaction paths. In addition, the nanosizing of materials has recently enabled the discovery of new energy storage mechanisms, through which unexplored classes of electrodes could be introduced. Herein, we review the nanoscale phenomena discovered or exploited in lithium-ion battery chemistry thus far and discuss their potential implications, providing opportunities to further unveil uncharted electrode materials and chemistries. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the nanoscale phenomena presently employed in battery applications and suggest strategies to overcome these limitations.

Abstract
Lithium-air batteries are promising devices for electrochemical energy storage because of their ultrahigh energy density. However, it is still challenging to achieve practical Li-air batteries because of their severe capacity fading and poor rate capability. Electrolytes are the prime suspects for cell failure. In this Review, we focus on the opportunities and challenges of electrolytes for rechargeable Li-air batteries. A detailed summary of the reaction mechanisms, internal compositions, instability factors, selection criteria, and design ideas of the considered electrolytes is provided to obtain appropriate strategies to meet the battery requirements. In particular, ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes and solid-state electrolytes show exciting opportunities to control both the high energy density and safety.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have been widely recognized as appealing power systems for their extremely high energy density versus common Li-ion batteries. However, there are still lots of issues that need to be addressed toward the practical application. Here, free-standing Co-doped NiO three-dimensional nanosheets were prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis method and directly employed as the air-breathing cathode of the Li-O2 battery. The morphological phenomenon and electrochemical performance of the as-prepared cathode material were characterized by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The Co-doped NiO electrode delivered a maximum discharge capacity of around 12 857 mA h g-1 with a low overpotential (0.82 V) at 200 mA g-1. Under upper-limit specific capacities of 500 mA h g-1 at 400 mA g-1, the Li-O2 batteries exhibited a long cycle life of 165 cycles. Compared with the undoped NiO electrode, the Li-O2 battery based on the Co-doped NiO cathode showed significantly higher oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction activities. This superior electrochemical performance is because of the partial substitution of Ni2+ in the NiO matrix by Co2+ to improve the p-type electronic conductivity of NiO. In addition, the morphology and specific surface area of NiO are affected by Co doping, which can expand the electrode-electrolyte contact area and lead to sufficient space for Li2O2 deposition. This approach harnesses the great potential of Co-doped NiO nanosheets for practical applications as advanced electrodes for rechargeable Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
Most of the current commercialized lithium batteries employ liquid electrolytes, despite their vulnerability to battery fire hazards, because they avoid the formation of dendrites on the anode side, which is commonly encountered in solid-state batteries. In a review two years ago, we focused on the challenges and issues facing lithium metal for solid-state rechargeable batteries, pointed to the progress made in addressing this drawback, and concluded that a situation could be envisioned where solid-state batteries would again win over liquid batteries for different applications in the near future. However, an additional drawback of solid-state batteries is the lower ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. Therefore, extensive research efforts have been invested in the last few years to overcome this problem, the reward of which has been significant progress. It is the purpose of this review to report these recent works and the state of the art on solid electrolytes. In addition to solid electrolytes stricto sensu, there are other electrolytes that are mainly solids, but with some added liquid. In some cases, the amount of liquid added is only on the microliter scale; the addition of liquid is aimed at only improving the contact between a solid-state electrolyte and an electrode, for instance. In some other cases, the amount of liquid is larger, as in the case of gel polymers. It is also an acceptable solution if the amount of liquid is small enough to maintain the safety of the cell; such cases are also considered in this review. Different chemistries are examined, including not only Li-air, Li-O2, and Li-S, but also sodium-ion batteries, which are also subject to intensive research. The challenges toward commercialization are also considered.

Abstract
With the increasing diversification of portable electronics and large-scale energy storage systems, conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with graphite anodes are now approaching their theoretical limits. Lithium metal, as the "Holy Grail" electrode for next-generation rechargeable batteries, is being revisited to meet the booming demand for high energy density electrodes due to its ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity and negative redox potential. Nevertheless, typical issues like notorious dendrite growth still hamper the bulk application of Li metal anodes. Dendrite growth renders increased surface area of the lithium metal, causing persistent depletion of the electrolyte and active materials, facilitating catastrophic failure of the battery, and even inducing fatal safety hazards. The consequences become more serious during operation at high current densities and over long cycling life. Therefore, it is urgent to suppress and even eliminate dendrite formation during the Li plating/stripping process. This Account highlights several innovative strategies for dendrite suppression, dendrite regulation, and dendrite elimination from the perspective of interface energy and bulk stresses. First, we review the fundamental mechanism of dendrite formation and growth in Li metal anodes. We show that the dendrite morphology could be substantially ameliorated, in theory, by homogenizing the electric field distribution, lowering the Li ion concentration gradient, and facilitating mechanical blocking. Next, we address the problem of dendrite suppression by applying two-dimensional (2D) materials to Li metal systems and preventing dendrite penetration through stress release and mechanical blocking. Graphene with a high specific area and vermiculite sheets (VSs) with a large physical rigidity were demonstrated to be efficacious in reinforcing Li anodes and polymer electrolytes separately. However, Li dendrite growth is a continuous process and remains inevitable with increasing current density and cycling life. Instead of suppressing dendrite growth, we focus on how to regulate homogeneous Li dendrite formation and growth. Dendrite regulation means to allow dendrite growth but take steps to transform it into Li with a smooth morphology. We introduce two main strategies to regulate Li growth: (i) guiding Li nucleation and (ii) controlling the Li growth pathways and directions. These processes greatly rely on the interface energy between the substrate and Li atoms. Elimination of the dendrites, which is the most formidable challenge for dendrite control, can also be achieved by dynamically engineering the force, such as deflecting the electric field by Lorentz force in a magnetic field, enhancing the integrated yield stress by the design of bulk nanostructured materials, and reducing the lateral Li diffusion barrier by a biomimetic co-deposition process. Solutions to the challenges of dendrite control in Li metal anodes can provide safe next-generation rechargeable lithium metal batteries that have a long cycling life. We also hope that our strategies presented in this Account can offer promise for other metal batteries.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the pseudocapacitive behavior in RuO2 by Sergio Trasatti and Giovanni Buzzanca in 1971, materials with pseudocapacitance have been regarded as promising candidates for high-power energy storage. Pseudocapacitance-involving energy storage is predominantly based on faradaic redox reactions, but at the same time the charge storage is not limited by solid-state ion diffusion. Besides the search for pseudocapacitive materials, their implementation into non-aqueous hybrid capacitors stands for the strategy to increase power density by a rational design of the battery structure. Composed of a battery-type anode and a capacitor-type cathode, such devices show great promise to integrate the merits of both batteries and capacitors. Today, the availability of fast-charging technologies is of fundamental importance for establishing electric vehicles on a mass scale. Therefore, from the perspective of materials and battery design, understanding the basics and the recent developments of pseudocapacitive materials and non-aqueous hybrid capacitors is of great importance. With this goal in mind, we introduce here the fundamentals of pseudocapacitance and non-aqueous hybrid capacitors. In addition, we provide an overview of the latest developments in this fast growing research field.

Abstract
Slowing the dendrite formation process is one way to alleviate the fast capacity fade and safety issues in lithium metal battery systems. We used tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) as a complementary solvent to increase the desolvation activation energy of Li+, reduce the speed of lithium electrodeposition kinetics, and suppress dendrite formation. Density functional theory calculations combined with Raman spectroscopy indicate that a stronger coordination interaction is obtained between Li+ and TEGDME than between Li+ and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) or 1,3-dioxolane (DOL). Such a strong coordination leads to a slower electrochemical reaction rate. As a result, uniform lithium electrodeposition morphology and good cycling stability of a Li|Li symmetric cell for more than 500 hours were achieved. Our approach suggests a way in which dendrite formation can be controlled by the electrochemical reaction itself.

Abstract
The Li-O2 battery is an ideal energy storage device due to its highest theoretical energy density; however, its high charge overpotential limits its practical application. Herein, through ab initio calculations, we systematically investigated the structural and electronic properties of small (Li2O2)nm+ (n = 1, m = 0, 1 and n = 2, m = 0, 1, and 2) clusters and calculated the reaction energies of various decomposition reactions. Results show that the (Li2O2)1 monomer has a low spin, whereas the (Li2O2)2 dimer has a high spin. The analysis of bond length, molecular orbitals, and projected density of states reveals that the interaction of O-O is stronger in the cationic cluster than in the neutral one, whereas the interaction of O-Li is weaker in the cationic cluster than in the neutral one; this facilitates the decomposition of cationic lithium peroxide cluster. Furthermore, the calculated reaction energies indicate that the peroxide lithium decomposition preferentially favors two-step reaction over one-step reaction. Finally, the lowest-energy reaction pathway for the decomposition of (Li2O2)2 dimer was predicted to be (Li2O2)2 → Li2O2 → (Li2O2)+ → LiO2 → O2, and the rate-determining step was predicted to be the first step.

Abstract
Noble-metal-free bifunctional electrocatalysts are indispensable to realize low-cost and energy-efficient rechargeable metal-air batteries. In addition, power density, energy density, and cycle life of these metal-air batteries can be improved further by utilizing the fast faradaic reactions of metal ions in the catalyst layer together with the oxygen evolution/reduction reactions (OER/ORR) for charge storage. In this work, we propose mixed metal phosphates of nickel and cobalt, NixCo3-x(PO4)2 (x = 0,1, 1.5, 2, and 3), as multifunctional air-cathodes exhibiting bifunctional electrocatalytic activity and reversible metal redox reaction (M3+/2+, M = Ni and Co). Submicron-sized NixCo3-x(PO4)2 particles were synthesized by a solution combustion synthesis technique with urea acting as the fuel. Electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 M NaOH was systematically tuned by varying the Ni-to-Co ratio. The synthesized NixCo3-x(PO4)2 with x = 1.5 (NCP11) showed superior bifunctional catalytic activity to other samples. Moreover, the catalyst material delivered a specific capacity of ∼110 mAh g-1 by the redox reactions of its metal sites. The hybrid Na-air battery fabricated using the NCP11 catalyst-loaded air-cathode exhibited low overpotential, stable cycling performance, and round-trip energy efficiency exceeding 78% in a 0.1 M NaOH aqueous electrolyte.

Abstract
The low Coulombic efficiency and hazardous dendrite growth hinder the adoption of lithium anode in high-energy density batteries. Herein, we report a lithium metal-carbon nanotube (Li-CNT) composite as an alternative to the long-term untamed lithium electrode to address the critical issues associated with the lithium anode in Li-O2 batteries, where the lithium metal is impregnated in a porous carbon nanotube microsphere matrix (CNTm) and surface-passivated with a self-assembled monolayer of octadecylphosphonic acid as a tailor-designed solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The high specific surface area of the Li-CNT composite reduces the local current density and thus suppresses the lithium dendrite formation upon cycling. Moreover, the tailor-designed SEI effectively separates the Li-CNT composite from the electrolyte solution and prevents the latter's further decomposition. When the Li-CNT composite anode is coupled with another CNTm-based O2 cathode, the reversibility and cycle life of the resultant Li-O2 batteries are drastically elevated.
