Abstract
Metallic zinc has been regarded as an ideal anode material for aqueous batteries due to its high capacity, abundance, and low toxicity. Numerous strategies have been proposed for anode protection to address its intrinsic deficiencies. However, existing methods can only suppress dendrite growth at limited current densities, and achieving stable cycling at high rates remains a great challenge. Herein, density functional theory (DFT) reveals that Mn-MOF, with a distinctive π-π stacking structure (π-MOF), can induce accelerated ion transfer dynamics, providing high-speed pathways for Zn2+ flux, which can enable stable deposition even at high rates. As anticipated, the π-MOF@Zn anode exhibits remarkable stability for over 1900 h with the lowest voltage hysteresis (71 mV) at a current density of 10 mA cm-2. This study presents a viable approach to enhance the interface stability of high-rate metal anodes by modulating charge or ion behavior at the interface.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have undergone rapid development as a complementary technology to lithium-ion batteries due to abundant sodium resources. However, the extended charging time and low energy density pose a significant challenge to the widespread use of SIBs in electric vehicles. To overcome this hurdle, there is considerable focus on developing fast-charging anode materials with rapid Na⁺ diffusion and superior reaction kinetics. Here, the key factors that limit the fast charging of anode materials are examined, which provides a comprehensive overview of the major advances and fast-charging characteristics across various anode materials. Specifically, it systematically dissects considerations to enhance the rate performance of anode materials, encompassing aspects such as porous engineering, electrolyte desolvation strategies, electrode/electrolyte interphase, electronic conductivity/ion diffusivity, and pseudocapacitive ion storage. Finally, the direction and prospects for developing fast-charging anode materials of SIBs are also proposed, aiming to provide a valuable reference for the further advancement of high-power SIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-metal batteries have attracted increasing interest for large-scale energy storage owing to their outstanding merits in terms of safety, cost and production. However, they constantly suffer from inadequate energy density and poor cycling stability due to the presence of zinc ions in the fully hydrated solvation state. Thus, designing the dehydrated solvation structure of zinc ions can effectively address the current drawbacks of aqueous Zn-metal batteries. In this case, considering the lack of studies focused on strategies for the dehydration of zinc ions, herein, we present a systematic and comprehensive review to deepen the understanding of zinc-ion solvation regulation. Two fundamental design principles of component regulation and pre-desolvation are summarized in terms of solvation environment formation and interfacial desolvation behavior. Subsequently, specific strategy based distinct principles are carefully discussed, including preparation methods, working mechanisms, analysis approaches and performance improvements. Finally, we present a general summary of the issues addressed using zinc-ion dehydration strategies, and four critical aspects to promote zinc-ion solvation regulation are presented as an outlook, involving updating (de)solvation theories, revealing interfacial evolution, enhancing analysis techniques and developing functional materials. We believe that this review will not only stimulate more creativity in optimizing aqueous electrolytes but also provide valuable insights into designing other battery systems.

Abstract
Electrolytes with anion-dominated solvation are promising candidates to achieve dendrite-free and high-voltage potassium metal batteries. However, it's challenging to form anion-reinforced solvates at low salt concentrations. Herein, we construct an anion-reinforced solvation structure at a moderate concentration of 1.5 M with weakly coordinated cosolvent ethylene glycol dibutyl ether. The unique solvation structure accelerates the desolvation of K+, strengthens the oxidative stability to 4.94 V and facilitates the formation of inorganic-rich and stable electrode-electrolyte interface. These enable stable plating/stripping of K metal anode over 2200 h, high capacity retention of 83.0 % after 150 cycles with a high cut-off voltage of 4.5 V in K0.67MnO2//K cells, and even 91.5 % after 30 cycles under 4.7 V. This work provides insight into weakly coordinated cosolvent and opens new avenues for designing ether-based high-voltage electrolytes.

Abstract
Magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) are expected to be the promising candidates in the post-lithium-ion era with high safety, low cost and almost dendrite-free nature. However, the sluggish diffusion kinetics and strong solvation capability of the strongly polarized Mg2+ are seriously limiting the specific capacity and lifespan of MIBs. In this work, catalytic desolvation is introduced into MIBs for the first time by modifying vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) with molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MQDs), and it is demonstrated via density function theory (DFT) calculations that MQDs can effectively lower the desolvation energy barrier of Mg2+, and therefore catalyze the dissociation of Mg2+-1,2-Dimethoxyethane (Mg2+-DME) bonds and release free electrolyte cations, finally contributing to a fast diffusion kinetics within the cathode. Meanwhile, the local interlayer expansion can also increase the layer spacing of V2O5 and speed up the magnesiation/demagnesiation kinetics. Benefiting from the structural configuration, MIBs exhibit superb reversible capacity (≈300 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1) and unparalleled cycling stability (15 000 cycles at 2 A g-1 with a capacity of ≈70 mAh g-1). This approach based on catalytic reactions to regulate the desolvation behavior of the whole interface provides a new idea and reference for the development of high-performance MIBs.

Abstract
Sodium batteries (SBs) emerge as a potential candidate for large-scale energy storage and have become a hot topic in the past few decades. In the previous researches on electrolyte, designing electrolytes with the solvation theory has been the most promising direction is to improve the electrochemical performance of batteries through solvation theory. In general, the four essential factors for the commercial application of SBs, which are cost, low temperature performance, fast charge performance and safety. The solvent structure has significant impact on commercial applications. But so far, the solvation design of electrolyte and the practical application of sodium batteries have not been comprehensively summarized. This review first clarifies the process of Na+ solvation and the strategies for adjusting Na+ solvation. It is worth noting that the relationship between solvation theory and interface theory is pointed out. The cost, low temperature, fast charging, and safety issues of solvation are systematically summarized. The importance of the de-solvation step in low temperature and fast charging application is emphasized to help select better electrolytes for specific applications. Finally, new insights and potential solutions for electrolytes solvation related to SBs are proposed to stimulate revolutionary electrolyte chemistry for next generation SBs.

Abstract
The confinement effect, restricting materials within nano/sub-nano spaces, has emerged as an innovative approach for fundamental research in diverse application fields, including chemical engineering, membrane separation, and catalysis. This confinement principle recently presents fresh perspectives on addressing critical challenges in rechargeable batteries. Within spatial confinement, novel microstructures and physiochemical properties have been raised to promote the battery performance. Nevertheless, few clear definitions and specific reviews are available to offer a comprehensive understanding and guide for utilizing the confinement effect in batteries. This review aims to fill this gap by primarily summarizing the categorization of confinement effects across various scales and dimensions within battery systems. Subsequently, the strategic design of confinement environments is proposed to address existing challenges in rechargeable batteries. These solutions involve the manipulation of the physicochemical properties of electrolytes, the regulation of electrochemical activity, and stability of electrodes, and insights into ion transfer mechanisms. Furthermore, specific perspectives are provided to deepen the foundational understanding of the confinement effect for achieving high-performance rechargeable batteries. Overall, this review emphasizes the transformative potential of confinement effects in tailoring the microstructure and physiochemical properties of electrode materials, highlighting their crucial role in designing novel energy storage devices.

Abstract
The unstable interface between Li metal and ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes triggers continuous side reactions and uncontrolled dendrite growth, significantly impacting the lifespan of Li metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, a bipolar polymeric protective layer (BPPL) is developed using cyanoethyl (-CH2CH2C≡N) and hydroxyl (-OH) polar groups, aiming to prevent EC-induced corrosion and facilitating rapid, uniform Li+ ion transport. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between -OH and EC facilitates the Li+ desolvation process and effectively traps free EC molecules, thereby eliminating parasitic reactions. Meanwhile, the -CH2CH2C≡N group anchors TFSI- anions through ion-dipole interactions, enhancing Li+ transport and eliminating concentration polarization, ultimately suppressing the growth of Li dendrite. This BPPL enabling Li|Li cell stable cycling over 750 cycles at 10 mA cm-2 for 2 mAh cm-2. The Li|LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 and Li|LiFePO4 full cells display superior electrochemical performance. The BPPL provides a practical strategy to enhanced stability and performance in LMBs application.

Abstract
Acting as a passive protective layer, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the Li-metal anode. Derived from the reductive decomposition of electrolytes (e.g., anion and solvent), the SEI construction presents as an interfacial process accompanied by the dynamic de-solvation process during Li-metal plating. However, typical electrolyte engineering and related SEI modification strategies always ignore the dynamic evolution of electrolyte configuration at the Li/electrolyte interface, which essentially determines the SEI architecture. Herein, by employing advanced electrochemical in situ FT-IR and MRI technologies, we directly visualize the dynamic variations of solvation environments involving Li+-solvent/anion. Remarkably, a weakened Li+-solvent interaction and anion-lean interfacial electrolyte configuration have been synchronously revealed, which is difficult for the fabrication of anion-derived SEI layer. Moreover, as a simple electrochemical regulation strategy, pulse protocol was introduced to effectively restore the interfacial anion concentration, resulting in an enhanced LiF-rich SEI layer and improved Li-metal plating/stripping reversibility.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising large-scale energy storage devices because of their low cost and high safety. However, owing to the high activity of H2O molecules in electrolytes, hydrogen evolution reaction and side reactions usually take place on Zn anodes. Herein, additive-free PCA-Zn electrolyte with capacity of suppressing the activity of free and solvated H2O molecules was designed by selecting the cationophilic and solventophilic anions. In such electrolyte, contact ion-pairs and solvent-shared ion-pairs were achieved even at low concentration, where PCA- anions coordinate with Zn2+ and bond with solvated H2O molecules. Simultaneously, PCA- anions also induce the construction of H-bonds between free H2O molecules and them. Therefore, the activity of free and solvated H2O molecules is effectively restrained. Furthermore, since PCA- anions possess a strong affinity with metal Zn, they can also adsorb on Zn anode surface to protect Zn anode from the direct contact of H2O molecules, inhibiting the occurrence of water-triggered side reactions. As a result, plating/stripping behavior of Zn anodes is highly reversible and the coulombic efficiency can reach to 99.43 % in PCA-Zn electrolyte. To illustrate the feasibility of PCA-Zn electrolyte, the Zn||PANI full batteries were assembled based on PCA-Zn electrolyte and exhibited enhanced cycling performance.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries emerge as a promising energy storage system with merits of high security, abundance, and being environmentally benign. But the low operating voltages of aqueous electrolytes restrict their energy densities. Previous reports have mostly focused on modifying the electrolytes to enlarge the operating voltages of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. However, either extra-expensive salts or potential safety hazards of organic additives are considered to be adverse for practical large-scale applications. Here, a proof-of-concept to enlarge the operating voltage of an aqueous zinc-ion battery by incorporating a well-designed semiconductor photocathode is proposed, which produces a photovoltage (Vph) across the semiconductor/liquid junction (SCLJ) interface to elevate the output voltage of zinc-ion battery under irradiation. The operating voltage of an aqueous zinc-ion battery can be markedly raised from 1.78 (thermodynamic limit) to 2.4 V when a BiOI nanoflake array photocathode with good surface modification is introduced, achieving a round-trip efficiency of 114.3% and a 34.8% increase of energy density compared to the theoretical value. The successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction modified surface effectively passivates surface trap defects of the BiOI photocathode and thus enlarges its Vph from 60 to 240 mV under irradiation. This study provides a design to enlarge the output voltages of aqueous zinc-ion batteries and other energy storage systems, providing insight into widening the voltage window, which is that the operating voltages are determined by photocathode under irradiation and not restricted by the electrochemical stability window of dilute aqueous electrolytes.

Abstract
Quasi-solid electrolytes (QSEs) based on nanoporous materials are promising candidates to construct high-performance Li-metal batteries (LMBs). However, simultaneously boosting the ionic conductivity (σ) and lithium-ion transference number (t+) of liquid electrolyte confined in porous matrix remains challenging. Herein, we report a novel Janus MOFLi/MSLi QSEs with asymmetric porous structure to inherit the benefits of both mesoporous and microporous hosts. This Janus QSE composed of mesoporous silica and microporous MOF exhibits a neat Li+ conductivity of 1.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 with t+ of 0.71. A partially de-solvated structure and preference distribution of Li+ near the Lewis base O atoms were depicted by MD simulations. Meanwhile, the nanoporous structure enabled efficient ion flux regulation, promoting the homogenous deposition of Li+. When incorporated in Li||Cu cells, the MOFLi/MSLi QSEs demonstrated a high Coulombic efficiency of 98.1%, surpassing that of liquid electrolytes (96.3%). Additionally, NCM 622||Li batteries equipped with MOFLi/MSLi QSEs exhibited promising rate performance and could operate stably for over 200 cycles at 1 C. These results highlight the potential of Janus MOFLi/MSLi QSEs as promising candidates for next-generation LMBs.

Abstract
Ionic liquid electrolytes (ILEs) are promising to develop high-safety and high-energy-density lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). Unfortunately, ILEs normally face the challenge of sluggish Li+ transport due to increased ions' clustering caused by Coulombic interactions. Here a type of anion-reinforced solvating ILEs (ASILEs) is discovered, which reduce ions' clustering by enhancing the anion-cation coordination and promoting more anions to enter the internal solvation sheath of Li+ to address this concern. The designed ASILEs, incorporating chlorinated hydrocarbons and two anions, bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide (FSI- ) and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (TFSI- ), aim to enhance Li+ transport ability, stabilize the interface of the high-nickel cathode material (LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 , NCM811), and retain fire-retardant properties. With these ASILEs, the Li/NCM811 cell exhibits high initial specific capacity (203 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C), outstanding capacity retention (81.6% over 500 cycles at 1.0 C), and excellent average Coulombic efficiency (99.9% over 500 cycles at 1.0 C). Furthermore, an Ah-level Li/NCM811 pouch cell achieves a notable energy density of 386 Wh kg-1 , indicating the practical feasibility of this electrolyte. This research offers a practical solution and fundamental guidance for the rational design of advanced ILEs, enabling the development of high-safety and high-energy-density LMBs.

Abstract
The unsatisfactory performance of Zn metal anodes significantly impedes the commercial application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, we introduce a trace amount of a multifunctional trehalose additive to enhance the stability and reversibility of Zn metal anodes. The trehalose additive exhibits a stronger Zn2+ ion affinity due to abundant lone-pair electrons, disrupting hydrogen bonds in H2O, regulating solvation structures, and tuning the Zn-electrolyte interface. Consequently, the Zn metal anode demonstrates a remarkable Coulombic efficiency of 99.80% and a cycle stability exceeding 4500 h at 1 mA cm-2. Even under stringent conditions of 10 mA cm-2, the Zn metal anode maintains a cumulative capacity of 2500 mA h cm-2 without a short circuit. Furthermore, Zn//Zn symmetric batteries exhibit excellent low-temperature cycle performance (over 400 h at -10 °C). As a proof of concept, assembled Zn//NH4V4O10 and Zn//MnO2 pouch cells demonstrate an improved electrochemical performance. This work presents an electrolyte additive strategy for achieving stable zinc anode operation in AZIBs.

Abstract
"Fast-charging" lithium-ion batteries have gained a multitude of attention in recent years since they could be applied to energy storage areas like electric vehicles, grids, and subsea operations. Unfortunately, the excellent energy density could fail to sustain optimally while lithium-ion batteries are exposed to fast-charging conditions. In actuality, the crystal structure of electrode materials represents the critical factor for influencing the electrode performance. Accordingly, employing anode materials with low diffusion barrier could improve the "fast-charging" performance of the lithium-ion battery. In this Review, first, the "fast-charging" principle of lithium-ion battery and ion diffusion path in the crystal are briefly outlined. Next, the application prospects of "fast-charging" anode materials with various crystal structures are evaluated to search "fast-charging" anode materials with stable, safe, and long lifespan, solving the remaining challenges associated with high power and high safety. Finally, summarizing recent research advances for typical "fast-charging" anode materials, including preparation methods for advanced morphologies and the latest techniques for ameliorating performance. Furthermore, an outlook is given on the ongoing breakthroughs for "fast-charging" anode materials of lithium-ion batteries. Intercalated materials (niobium-based, carbon-based, titanium-based, vanadium-based) with favorable cycling stability are predominantly limited by undesired electronic conductivity and theoretical specific capacity. Accordingly, addressing the electrical conductivity of these materials constitutes an effective trend for realizing fast-charging. The conversion-type transition metal oxide and phosphorus-based materials with high theoretical specific capacity typically undergoes significant volume variation during charging and discharging. Consequently, alleviating the volume expansion could significantly fulfill the application of these materials in fast-charging batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeability in zinc (Zn) batteries is limited by anode irreversibility. The practical lean electrolytes exacerbate the issue, compromising the cost benefits of zinc batteries for large-scale energy storage. In this study, a zinc-coordinated interphase is developed to avoid chemical corrosion and stabilize zinc anodes. The interphase promotes Zn2+ ions to selectively bind with histidine and carboxylate ligands, creating a coordination environment with high affinity and fast diffusion due to thermodynamic stability and kinetic lability. Experiments and simulations indicate that interphase regulates dendrite-free electrodeposition and reduces side reactions. Implementing such labile coordination interphase results in increased cycling at 20 mA cm-2 and high reversibility of dendrite-free zinc plating/stripping for over 200 hours. A Zn||LiMn2 O4 cell with 74.7 mWh g-1 energy density and 99.7% Coulombic efficiency after 500 cycles realized enhanced reversibility using the labile coordination interphase. A lean-electrolyte full cell using only 10 µL mAh-1 electrolyte is also demonstrated with an elongated lifespan of 100 cycles, five times longer than bare Zn anodes. The cell offers a higher energy density than most existing aqueous batteries. This study presents a proof-of-concept design for low-electrolyte, high-energy-density batteries by modulating coordination interphases on Zn anodes.

The optimal electrolyte for ultrahigh energy density (>400 Wh/kg) lithium-metal batteries with a LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode is required to withstand high voltage (≥4.7 V) and be adaptable over a wide temperature range. However, the battery performance is degraded by aggressive electrode-electrolyte reactions at high temperature and high voltage, while excessive growth of lithium dendrites usually occurs due to poor kinetics at low temperature. Accordingly, the development of electrolytes has encountered challenges in that there is almost no electrolyte simultaneously meeting the above requirements. Herein, a high chaos electrolyte design strategy is proposed, which promotes the formation of weak solvation structures involving multiple anions. By tailoring a Li+-EMC-DMC-DFOB--PO2F2--PF6- multiple-anion-rich solvation sheath, a robust inorganic-rich interphase is obtained for the electrode-electrolyte interphase (EEI), which is resistant to the intense interfacial reactions at high voltage (4.7 V) and high temperature (45 °C). In addition, the Li+ solvation is weakened by the multiple-anion solvation structure, which is a benefit to Li+ desolventization at low temperature (-30 °C), greatly improving the charge transfer kinetics and inhibiting the lithium dendrite growth. This work provides an innovative strategy to manipulate the high chaos electrolyte to further optimize solvation chemistry for high voltage and wide temperature applications.

Abstract
Functional porous coating on zinc electrode is emerging as a powerful ionic sieve to suppress dendrite growth and side reactions, thereby improving highly reversible aqueous zinc ion batteries. However, the ultrafast charge rate is limited by the substantial cation transmission strongly associated with dehydration efficiency. Here, we unveil the entire dynamic process of solvated Zn2+ ions' continuous dehydration from electrolyte across the MOF-electrolyte interface into channels with the aid of molecular simulations, taking zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-7 as proof-of-concept. The moderate concentration of 2 M ZnSO4 electrolyte being advantageous over other concentrations possesses the homogeneous water-mediated ion pairing distribution, resulting in the lowest dehydration energy, which elucidates the molecular mechanism underlying such concentration adopted by numerous experimental studies. Furthermore, we show that modifying linkers on the ZIF-7 surface with hydrophilic groups such as -OH or -NH2 can weaken the solvation shell of Zn2+ ions to lower the dehydration free energy by approximately 1 eV, and may improve the electrical conductivity of MOF. These results shed light on the ions delivery mechanism and pave way to achieve long-term stable zinc anodes at high capacities through atomic-scale modification of functional porous materials.

Abstract
An electrolyte additive, with convenient operation and remarkable functions, has been regarded as an effective strategy for prolonging the cycle life of aqueous zinc ion batteries. However, it is still difficult to dynamically regulate the unstable Zn interface during long-term cycling. Herein, tricine was introduced as an efficient regulator to achieve a pH-stable and byproduct-free interface. The functional zwitterion of tricine not only inhibits interfacial pH perturbation and parasitic reactions by the trapping effect of an anionic group (-COO-) but also simultaneously creates a uniform electric field by the electrostatic shielding effect of a cationic group (-NH2+). Such synergy accordingly eliminates dendrite formation and creates a chemical equilibrium in the electrolyte, endowing the Zn||Zn cell with long-term Zn plating/stripping for 2060 h at 5 mA cm-2 and 720 h at 10 mA cm-2. As a result, the Zn||VS2 full cell under a high cathodic loading mass (8.6 mg cm-2) exhibits exceptional capacity retention of 93% after 1000 cycles.

Abstract
Despite carbonate electrolytes exhibiting good stability to sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN), their chemical incompatibility with lithium (Li) metal anode leads to poor electrochemical performance of Li||SPAN full cells. While the SPAN employs conventional ether electrolytes that suffer from the shuttle effect, leading to rapid capacity fading. Here, we tailor a dilute electrolyte based on a low solvating power ether solvent that is both compatible with SPAN and Li metal. Unlike conventional ether electrolytes, the weakly solvating ether electrolyte enables SPAN to undergo reversibly "solid-solid" conversion. It features an anion-rich solvation structure that allows for the formation of a robust cathode electrolyte interphase on the SPAN, effectively blocking the dissolution of polysulfides into the bulk electrolyte and avoiding the shuttle effect. What's more, the unique electrolyte chemistry endowed Li ions with fast electroplating kinetics and induced high reversibility Li deposition/stripping process from 25 °C to -40 °C. Based on tailored electrolyte, Li||SPAN full cells matched with high loading SPAN cathodes (≈3.6 mAh cm-2 ) and 50 μm Li foil can operate stably over a wide range of temperatures. Additionally, Li||SPAN pouch cell under lean electrolyte and 5 % excess Li conditions can continuously operate stably for over a month.

Abstract
Homogeneous ion transport during Li+ plating/stripping plays a significant role in the stability of Li metal anodes (LMAs) and the electrochemical performance of Li metal batteries (LMBs). Controlled ion transport with uniform Li+ distribution is expected to suppress notorious Li dendrite growth while stabilizing the susceptible solid electrolyte interfacial (SEI) film and optimizing the electrochemical stability. Here, we are committed to rendering a comprehensive study of Li+ transport during the Li plating/stripping process related to the interactions between the Li dendrites and SEI film. Moreover, rational ion modulation strategies based on functional separators, artificial SEI films, solid-state electrolytes and structured anodes are introduced to homogenize Li+ flux and stabilize the lithium metal surface. Finally, the current issues and potential opportunities for ion transport regulation to boost the high energy density of LMBs are described.

Abstract
Zn-based aqueous batteries (ZABs) hold great promise for large-scale energy storage applications due to the merits of intrinsic safety and low cost. Nevertheless, the thorny issues of metallic Zn anodes, including dendrite growth and parasitic side reactions, have severely limited the application of ZABs. Despite the encouraging improvements for stabilizing Zn anodes through surface modification, electrolyte optimization, and structural design, fundamentally addressing the inherent thermodynamics and kinetics obstacles of Zn anodes remains crucial in realizing reliable ZABs with ultrahigh efficiency, capacity, and cyclability. The target of this perspective is to elucidate the prominent status of Zn metal anode electrochemistry first from the perspective of zincophilicity and zincophobicity. Recent progress in ZABs is critically appraised for addressing the key issues, with special emphasis on the trade-off between zincophilic and zincophobic electrochemistry. Challenges and prospects for further exploration of a reliable Zn anode are presented, which are expected to boost in-depth research and practical applications of advanced ZABs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been deemed to be a promising energy storage technology in terms of cost-effectiveness and sustainability. However, the electrodes often operate at potentials beyond their thermodynamic equilibrium, thus requiring the formation of interphases for kinetic stabilization. The interfaces of the anode such as typical hard carbons and sodium metals are particularly unstable because of its much lower chemical potential than the electrolyte. This creates more severe challenges for both anode and cathode interfaces when building anode-free cells to achieve higher energy densities. Manipulating the desolvation process through the nanoconfining strategy has been emphasized as an effective strategy to stabilize the interface and has attracted widespread attention. This Outlook provides a comprehensive understanding about the nanopore-based solvation structure regulation strategy and its role in building practical SIBs and anode-free batteries. Finally, guidelines for the design of better electrolytes and suggestions for constructing stable interphases are proposed from the perspective of desolvation or predesolvation.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-ion batteries are plagued by a short lifespan caused by localized dendrites. High-concentration electrolytes are favorable for dense Zn deposition but have poor performance in batteries with glass-fiber separators. In contrast, low-concentration electrolytes can wet the separators well, ensuring the migration of zinc ions, but the dendrites grow rapidly. In this work, we propose an electrolyte gradient strategy wherein a zinc-ion concentration gradient is established from the anode to the separator, ensuring that the separator keeps a good wettability in low-concentration areas and the zinc anode achieves dendrite-free deposition in a high-concentration area. By using this strategy in a common electrolyte, zinc sulfate, a Zn||Zn symmetric cell achieves 14 000 ultralong cycles (exceeding 8 months) at 5 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2 . When the current is further increased to 20 mA cm-2 , the symmetric cell could still run for over 10 000 cycles. Assembled Zn||NVO full cells also demonstrate prominent performance. At a high current of 16 mA cm-2 , the NVO cathode with high loading (8 mg cm-2 ) still has a capacity of 58% after 1200 cycles. Overall, the gradient electrolyte strategy provides a promising approach for practical long-life Zn anodes with the advantages of simple operation and low cost.

Abstract
Sulfur-based aqueous zinc batteries (SZBs) attract increasing interest due to their integrated high capacity, competitive energy density, and low cost. However, the hardly reported anodic polarization seriously deteriorates the lifespan and energy density of SZBs at a high current density. Here, we develop an integrated acid-assisted confined self-assembly method (ACSA) to elaborate a two-dimensional (2D) mesoporous zincophilic sieve (2DZS) as the kinetic interface. The as-prepared 2DZS interface presents a unique 2D nanosheet morphology with abundant zincophilic sites, hydrophobic properties, and small-sized mesopores. Therefore, the 2DZS interface plays a bifunctional role in reducing the nucleation and plateau overpotential: (a) accelerating the Zn2+ diffusion kinetics through the opened zincophilic channels and (b) inhibiting the kinetic competition of hydrogen evolution and dendrite growth via the significant solvation-sheath sieving effect. Therefore, the anodic polarization is reduced to 48 mV at 20 mA cm-2, and the full-battery polarization is reduced to 42% of an unmodified SZB. As a result, an ultrahigh energy density of 866 Wh kgsulfur-1 at 1 A g-1 and a long lifespan of 10,000 cycles at a high rate of 8 A g-1 are achieved.

Abstract
Gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) in quasi-solid state Zn-air battery (QSZAB) will release alkali during cycling, resulting in gradual dehydration of GPE, corrosion of Zn electrode, Zn dendrites growth, and therefore inferior performance. Here, hollow Sn microspheres are prepared on Zn substrate by the technique of colloidal self-assembly. The inner surfaces of hollow Sn microspheres are modified by 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (hollow Sn-inner HPβCD) to regulate the released alkali at GPE|anode interface. The hollow Sn-inner HPβCD can lessen the leakage of released alkali, make stored alkali diffuse back to GPE during the charging process, and mitigate the loss of soluble Zn(OH)4 2- to suppress Zn dendrites growth. Resultantly, GPE in QSZAB with hollow Sn-inner HPβCD exhibits a high retention capacity for alkaline solution. The cell also exhibits a long cyclic lifespan of 127 h due to the effective regulation of released alkali, which outperforms QSZAB without hollow Sn-inner HPβCD by 7.94 times. This work rivets the regulation of released alkali at GPE|anode interface, providing new insight to improve QSZABs' performance.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202300966. [PMID: 36788164 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202300966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
High-voltage lithium metal batteries (LMBs) pose severe challenges for the matching of electrolytes with aggressive electrodes, especially at low temperatures. Here, we report a rational modification of the Li+ solvation structure to extend the voltage and temperature operating ranges of conventional electrolytes. Ion-ion and ion-dipole interactions as well as the electrochemical window of solvents were tailored to improve oxidation stability and de-solvation kinetics of the electrolyte. Meanwhile, robust and elastic B and F-rich interphases are formed on both electrodes. Such optimization enables Li||LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 cells (90.2 % retention after 400 cycles) and Li||LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 O2 (NCM622) cells (74.0 % retention after 200 cycles) to cycle stably at an ultra-high voltage of 4.9 V. Moreover, NCM622 cells deliver a considerable capacity of 143.5 mAh g-1 at -20 °C, showing great potential for practical uses. The proposed strategy sheds light on further optimization for high-voltage LMBs.
