Abstract
Alkali metal-air batteries (AMABs) promise ultrahigh gravimetric energy densities, while the inherent poor cycle stability hinders their practical application. To address this challenge, most previous efforts are devoted to advancing the air cathodes with high electrocatalytic activity. Recent studies have underlined the solid-liquid-gas triple-phase interface around the anode can play far more significant roles than previously acknowledged by the scientific community. Besides the bottlenecks of uncontrollable dendrite growth and gas evolution in conventional alkali metal batteries, the corrosive gases, intermediate oxygen species, and redox mediators in AMABs cause more severe anode corrosion and structural collapse, posing greater challenges to the stabilization of the anode triple-phase interface. This work aims to provide a timely perspective on the anode interface engineering for durable AMABs. Taking the Li-air battery as a typical example, this critical review shows the latest developed anode stabilization strategies, including formulating electrolytes to build protective interphases, fabricating advanced anodes to improve their anti-corrosion capability, and designing functional separator to shield the corrosive species. Finally, the remaining scientific and technical issues from the prospects of anode interface engineering are highlighted, particularly materials system engineering, for the practical use of AMABs.

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
The full electrification of transportation will require batteries with both 3-5× higher energy densities and a lower cost than what is available in the market today. Energy densities of >1000 W h kg-1 will enable electrification of air transport and are among the very few technologies capable of achieving this energy density. Limetal-O2 or Limetal-air are theoretically able to achieve this energy density and are also capable of reducing the cost of batteries by replacing expensive supply chain constrained cathode materials with "free" air. However, the utilization of liquid electrolytes in the Limetal-O2/Limetal-air battery has presented many obstacles to the optimum performance of this battery including oxidation of the liquid electrolyte and the Limetal anode. In this paper a path towards the development of a Limetal-air battery using a cubic garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZ) solid-state ceramic electrolyte in a 3D architecture is described including initial cycling results of a Limetal-O2 battery using a recently developed mixed ionic and electronic (MIEC) LLZ in that 3D architecture. This 3D architecture with porous MIEC structures for the O2/air cathode is essentially the same as a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) indicating the importance of leveraging SOFC technology in the development of solid-state Limetal-O2/air batteries.

Abstract
The lithium (Li) metal anode (LMA) is susceptible to failure due to the growth of Li dendrites caused by an unsatisfied solid electrolyte interface (SEI). With this regard, the design of artificial SEIs with improved physicochemical and mechanical properties has been demonstrated to be important to stabilize the LMAs. This review comprehensively summarizes current efficient strategies and key progresses in surface engineering for constructing protective layers to serve as the artificial SEIs, including pretreating the LMAs with the reagents situated in different primary states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) or using some peculiar pathways (plasma, for example). The fundamental characterization tools for studying the protective layers on the LMAs are also briefly introduced. Last, strategic guidance for the deliberate design of surface engineering is provided, and the current challenges, opportunities, and possible future directions of these strategies for the development of LMAs in practical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Although the employment of redox mediator (RM) is an effective strategy to reduce the overpotential by avoiding the direct electrochemical oxidization of Li2 O2 during charging, an unexpected redox shuttling in Li-O2 system leads to RM degradation and continuous deterioration of Li anode, finally resulting in a limited cycling stability. Here, a functional lithiated Nafion-modified separator was firstly introduced to inhibit the shuttle effect by coulombic/electrostatic interactions in RM-involved Li-O2 batteries. The fabrication of the separator involved easily accessible raw materials and an easy-to-operate process, which made it suitable for large-scale production. The enhancement of lithiated process on electrochemical properties was systematically investigated. In addition, the influence of decorated amount on cycling stability was also studied. Furthermore, the functional contribution of lithiated Nafion on inhibition of redox shuttling and the working mechanism for cells with and without as-prepared separators were proposed. This work can give an insight into the development of functional separator (i. e., activity issue) and the suppression of parasitic reactions (i. e., selectivity issue) in Li-O2 batteries.

Superdry poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) coating on a lithium anode as a protective layer and separator for a high-performance lithium-oxygen battery. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 626:524-534.

Abstract
In this study, a dense polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) coating is fabricated on a lithium (Li) anode sheet, which acts as a synergistic protective layer and electrolyte separator for Li-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries. This thin coating is dried through slow solvent evaporation and vacuum drying methods. The solvent-free, dense PVDF-HFP coating has a thickness of 45 µm and can absorb 62% of electrolyte. The battery containing the PVDF-HFP coating demonstrates a maximum peak power density of 3 mW cm-2, significantly higher than that of the battery with the PVDF coating (0.8 mW cm-2) but lower than that without coating (equipped with a commercial glass fiber separator, 7.3 mW cm-2). However, the PVDF-HFP coating enables the Li-O2 battery to reach a capacity of 4400 mA h g-1, much higher than that without the coating (glass fiber separator, 850 mA h g-1). The symmetric Li-Li cells further confirm steady and low overpotentials using the anode coating at a high current density of 1.0 mA cm-2, indicating stable Li plating/stripping process. The PVDF-HFP-coated battery has a longer cycling lifetime (1700 h) than those with the PVDF coating (120 h) and a glass fiber separator (670 h). The Raman spectra show that there are lithium compounds (mainly lithium hydroxide) and residual PVDF-HFP on the aged anode surface. The dense PVDF-HFP coating on the Li anode plays dual roles: it creates a strong protective layer for stabilizing the solid-electrolyte interface (in the solid phase), and acts as a separator for modulating the Li metal deposition and stripping behaviors in liquid electrolyte.

Abstract
The low cycling efficiency and uncontrolled dendrite growth resulting from an unstable and heterogeneous lithium-electrolyte interface have largely hindered the practical application of lithium metal batteries. In this study, a robust all-organic interfacial protective layer has been developed to achieve a highly efficient and dendrite-free lithium metal anode by the rational integration of porous polymer-based molecular brushes (poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-grafted, hypercrosslinked poly(4-chloromethylstyrene) nanospheres, denoted as xPCMS-g-PEGMA) with single-ion-conductive lithiated Nafion. The porous xPCMS inner cores with rigid hypercrosslinked skeletons substantially increase mechanical robustness and provide adequate channels for rapid ionic conduction, while the flexible PEGMA and lithiated Nafion polymers enable the formation of a structurally stable artificial protective layer with uniform Li+ diffusion and high Li+ transference number. With such artificial solid electrolyte interphases, ultralong-term stable cycling at an ultrahigh current density of 10 mA cm-2 for over 9,100 h (>1 year) and unprecedented reversible lithium plating/stripping (over 2,800 h) at a large areal capacity (10 mAh cm-2) have been achieved for lithium metal anodes. Moreover, the protected anodes also show excellent cell stability when paired with high-loading cathodes (~4 mAh cm-2), demonstrating great prospects for the practical application of lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Redox mediators (RMs) have become a significant point in the now-established Li-O2 battery system to reduce the charging overpotential in the oxygen evolution process. Nevertheless, a major inherent barrier of the RM is the redox shuttling between the Li metal anode and mobile RM, resulting in the corrosion of Li and depletion of RM. In this study, taking iodide/triiodide as a model RM, we propose an effective strategy by immersing the Li metal anode in I2 steam to create a 1.5 μm thick surface protective layer. The resultant ionic conductive LiI layer on the Li metal anode can not only suppress Li dendrite growth but also act as a buffer layer between the RM and bare Li. By combining the iodide/triiodide RM with the LiI protective layer, the Li-O2 battery shows low and steady charge voltage plateaus of ∼3.6 V over 70 cycles. Importantly, the symmetrical cell using the LiI-protected Li electrode exhibited small Li plating/stripping overpotentials (∼20 mV, 480 h), far superior to that of the bare Li electrode (∼70 mV, 300 h). The in situ interfacial observation shows that dendrite growth on the Li metal can be effectively suppressed by optimizing the LiI protective layer.

Abstract
The practical application of lithium-metal anodes in high-energy-density rechargeable lithium batteries is hindered by the uncontrolled growth of lithium dendrites and limited cycle life. An ether-based gel polymer electrolyte (GPE-H) is developed through in situ polymerization method, which has close contact with the electrode interface. Based on DFT calculations, it was confirmed that the cationic groups produced by polar solvent tris(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl) (HFiP) initiate the ring-opening polymerization of DOL in the battery. As a result, GPE-H achieves considerable ionic conductivity (1.6 × 10-3 S cm-1) at ambient temperature, high lithium-ion transference number (tLi+ > 0.6) and an electrochemical stability window as high as 4.5 V. GPE-H can achieve up to 800 h uniform lithium plating/stripping at a current density of 1.65 mA cm-2 in Li symmetrical batteries. Li-S and LiFePO4 batteries using this GPE-H have long cycle performances at ambient temperature and high Coulomb efficiency (CE > 99.2%). From the above, in situ polymerized GPE-H electrolytes are promising candidates for high-energy-density rechargeable lithium batteries.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal is regarded as one of the most prospective electrodes for next-generation rechargeable batteries. However, its widespread usage has been fettered by low coulombic efficiency (CE), poor cycling stability, and serious safety concerns, mainly arising from huge volumetric variation, inhomogeneous Li deposition, and dendrite growth during repeated Li plating/stripping cycles. Herein, we propose a facile one-pot electrospinning-derived highly lithiophilic nanocopper-reinforced three-dimensional-structured carbon nanofiber (Cu-CNF) as functional scaffold to stabilize the Li metal. The Cu-CNF scaffolded Li metal demonstrates homogeneous nanoplate-like Li deposition, enhanced CE, and ultrastable long lifespan cycling. As coupled with LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811), the cell possesses a remarkably stable high capacity retention of 93% over 300 cycles at 0.2 C. Furthermore, the cells paired with a thick LiFePO4 (LFP) electrode (∼12 mg cm-2) still can deliver a superior cycling performance even under the harsh conditions of an extremely low negative/positive electrode capacity (N/P) ratio (∼1.5) and lean electrolyte. Density functional theory calculations are performed to disclose the mechanism of the enhanced electrochemical performance of Cu-CNF scaffolded Li. This work provides a handy and cost-effective method to design superior performance Li metal anodes for practical applications.

Abstract
Although the theoretical energy density of lithium-oxygen batteries is extremely high, pulverization of lithium metal anode obviously influences batteries cycling performance. In this work, the cathode was coated with a membrane to protect the lithium anode from moisture attacking and avoid the pulverization. The membrane is composed of polyethylene oxide and poly tetra fluoroethylene, which improves the cycle life of the lithium-oxygen batteries cycles to 230 times, with a limited specific capacity of 1000 mAh·g-1, at a current density of 100 mA·g-1. Furthermore, the batteries perform stable charge and discharge cycles for 55 times in the air atmosphere, with the relative humidity greater than 50%. It demonstrates this strategy provides a new direction for the development of high-performance lithium-oxygen batteries.

Abstract
Aprotic lithium-oxygen batteries currently suffer from poor cyclic stability and low achievable energy density. Herein, gold nanoparticles capped with mercaptosuccinic acid are dispersed in 1.0 M LiClO4/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a novel electrolyte for lithium-oxygen batteries. Morphological and electrochemical analyses indicate that film-like amorphous lithium peroxide is formed using the gold nanocolloid electrolyte instead of bulk crystals in battery discharging, which apparently increases the conductivity and accelerates the decomposition kinetics of discharge products in recharging, accompanied by the release of incorporated gold nanoparticles with the decomposition of lithium peroxide into the electrolyte. Experiments and theoretical calculations further demonstrate that the suspended gold nanoparticles in the electrolyte can adsorb some intermediates generated by an oxygen reduction reaction, which effectively alleviates the cleavage of the electrolyte and impedes the corrosion of the lithium anode. As a result, the life span of lithium-oxygen batteries is dramatically increased from 55 to 438 cycles, and the rate performance and full-discharge capacity are also massively enhanced. The battery failure is attributed to the degradation of gold nanocolloid electrolytes, and further studies on improvement of colloid stability during battery cycling are underway.

Abstract
Lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries have been intensively investigated in recent decades for their utilization in electric vehicles. The intrinsic challenges arising from O2 (electro)chemistry have been mitigated by developing various types of catalysts, porous electrode materials, and stable electrolyte solutions. At the next stage, we face the need to reform batteries by substituting pure O2 gas with air from Earth's atmosphere. Thus, the key emerging challenges of Li-air batteries, which are related to the selective filtration of O2 gas from air and the suppression of undesired reactions with other constituents in air, such as N2, water vapor (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2), should be properly addressed. In this review, we discuss all key aspects for developing Li-air batteries that are optimized for operating in ambient air and highlight the crucial considerations and perspectives for future air-breathing batteries.

Abstract
Protecting an anode from deterioration during charging/discharging has been seen as one of the key strategies in achieving high-performance lithium (Li)-O2 batteries and other Li-metal batteries with a high energy density. Here, we describe a facile approach to prevent the Li anode from dendritic growth and chemical corrosion by constructing a SiO2/GO hybrid thin layer on the surface. The uniform pore-preserving layer can conduct Li ions in the stripping/plating process, leading to an effective alleviation of the dendritic growth of Li by guiding the ion flux through the microstructure. Such a preservation technique significantly enhances the cell performance by enabling the Li-O2 cell to cycle up to 348 times at 1 A·g-1 with a capacity of 1000 mA·h·g-1, which is several times the cycles of cells with pristine Li (58 cycles), Li-GO (166 cycles), and Li-SiO2 (187 cycles). Moreover, the rate performance is improved, and the ultimate capacity of the cell is dramatically increased from 5400 to 25,200 mA·h·g-1. This facile technology is robust and conforms to the Li surface, which demonstrates its potential applications in developing future high-performance and long lifespan Li batteries in a cost-effective fashion.

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
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
Lithium metal has attracted considerable attention due to its ultrahigh theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, issues such as dendritic Li formation and instability of the Li metal/electrolyte interface still restrain its practical applications. In this work, we design a Li composite anode with fluorinated carbon nanotubes (FCNT) fabricated by a simple melting-soaking method. It was found that trace amounts of added FCNT (only 1.6 wt%) lead to a significant chemical/electrochemical stability of metallic Li. The obtained Li/FCNT composite electrode (LFCNT) exhibits much better stability in open air and electrolyte than bare Li. The LFCNT enables uniform plating/stripping of metallic Li, preventing the dendrite formation during repeated cycling. In situ optical microscopy observations confirm dendrite-free Li deposition with the mechanism clarified by density functional theory calculations. Compared with bare Li, the LFCNT shows a considerable improvement in rate capability, voltage hysteresis and cycle performance, sustaining stable cycling at a high current density of 3 mA cm-2 or a capacity up to 5 mA h cm-2. Li-O2 cells with a LFCNT anode exhibit a long life of 135 cycles at a capacity of 1000 mA h g-1, which is six-fold than that with the bare Li anode.

Stabilizing lithium metal anode by octaphenyl polyoxyethylene-lithium complexation. Nat Commun 2020; 11:643.

Abstract
Lithium metal is an ideal anode for lithium batteries due to its low electrochemical potential and high theoretical capacity. However, safety issues arising from lithium dendrite growth have significantly reduced the practical applicability of lithium metal batteries. Here, we report the addition of octaphenyl polyoxyethylene as an electrolyte additive to enable a stable complex layer on the surface of the lithium anode. This surface layer not only promotes uniform lithium deposition, but also facilitates the formation of a robust solid-electrolyte interface film comprising cross-linked polymer. As a result, lithium|lithium symmetric cells constructed using the octaphenyl polyoxyethylene additive exhibit excellent cycling stability over 400 cycles at 1 mA cm−2, and outstanding rate performance up to 4 mA cm−2. Full cells assembled with a LiFePO4 cathode exhibit high rate capability and impressive cyclability, with capacity decay of only 0.023% per cycle. Despite the large theoretical promise of Li metal anode, the dendrite growth poses a serious safety challenge. Here the authors address this issue by adding octaphenyl polyoxyethylene as an electrolyte additive which facilitates the formation of a dual-functional layer and excellent performance.

Abstract
The advantages in high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential have made Li metal one of the most promising anode materials satisfying the surging requirement of high energy density for the next-generation batteries. However, safety issues caused by the Li dendrite growth during cycling have greatly thwarted its application. Herein, a hybrid artificial protective layer, constructed by the one-step method through chemical reactions between Li metal and 1H,1H,1H,2H-perfluorodecyltrimethoxysilane, is demonstrated to guide Li deposition and protect lithium batteries from the destruction of Li dendrites. A synergistic effect of the inorganic and organic components in the protective layer significantly enhances the electrochemical performance of symmetric Li|Li and Li|LiFePO4 cells. This work provides a facile, simple, and scalable method to design a hybrid artificial protective layer for long-lifespan Li metal batteries.

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
Lithium metal anode is considered to be a promising candidate for high-energy-density lithium-based batteries. However, the safety issue induced by uncontrollable dendrite growth hinders the commercialization of a Li anode. Herein, self-supported three-dimensional flexible carbon cloth covered with a lithiophilic silicon nanowire array is constructed as the host for loading of molten Li to achieve the C/SiNW/Li composite anode. The electrode component of the carbon cloth provides the flexible and conductive substrate to accommodate the volume change during the stripping/plating of Li and facilitate more efficient electron transport, while silicon nanowires improve the wettability of the carbon host to liquefied Li and render uniform Li deposition on the surface of the composite electrode. The as-prepared C/SiNW/Li composite anode exhibits enhanced cycling stability with a low hysteresis of 40 mV for more than 200 h and a better rate tolerance even at a current density of up to 5 mA cm-2. When coupling with the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode, the full cells using the C/SiNW/Li composite anode demonstrate a remarkable electrochemical performance with an exceptional rate performance of up to 10 C and stable long-term cycling (the capacity retention of 62% at a 5 C rate over 2000 cycles), which is much higher than the cells with pure Li anode. This work provides a universal strategy to fabricate the flexible and stable carbon-based Li metal anode toward high-energy-density batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries (LOBs) with extremely high theoretical energy density have been regarded as a promising next-generation energy storage technology. However, the limited cycle life, undesirable corrosion, and safety hazards are seriously limiting the practical application of the lithium metal anode in LOBs. Here, we demonstrate a rational design of the Li-Al alloy (LiAlx) anode that successfully achieves ultralong cycling life of LOBs with stable Li cycling. Through in situ high-current pretreatment technology, Al atoms accumulates, and a stable Al2O3-containing solid electrolyte interphase protective film formed on the LiAlx anode surface to suppress side reactions and O2 crossover. The cycling life of LOB with the protected LiAlx anode increases to 667 cycles under a fixed capacity of 1000 mA h g-1, as compared to 17 cycles without pretreatment. We believe that this in situ high-current pretreatment strategy presents a new vision to protect the lithium-containing alloy anodes, such as Li-Al, Li-Mg, Li-Sn, and Li-In alloys for stable and safe lithium metal batteries (Li-O2 and Li-S batteries).

Abstract
The intense interest of Li-O2 battery stems from its ultrahigh theoretical energy density, but its application is still hindered by the issues of Li anode. Herein, RuO2-CNTs composite, a conventional O2 cathode catalyst in Li-O2 battery, is first utilized as an anode host for dendrite-free Li plating/stripping with high Coulombic efficiency. It is demonstrated that such excellent plating/stripping performance arises from the lithiophilicity characteristic of Ru nanoparticles (that is derived from the in-situ electrochemical conversion from RuO2 to Ru/Li2O) and buffer space provided by CNTs. Furthermore, the RuO2-CNTs electrode pre-deposited with limited Li (RuO2-CNTs@Li anode) is coupled with a RuO2-CNTs catalytic cathode to form a Li-O2 full cell, which displays an extended cycle life with dramatically improved energy density. The achieved cell shows a high stability of 200 cycles with RuO2-CNTs@Li anode (1 mg Li) that sheds light on the efficient utilization of Li anode in Li-O2 batteries.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are a promising alternative for the large-scale energy storage owing to the natural abundance of sodium. However, the practical application of SIBs is still hindered by the low working voltage, poor rate performance, and insufficient cycling stability. A sodium-ion based full battery using a multi-ion design is now presented. The optimized full batteries delivered a high working voltage of about 4.0 V, which is the best result of reported sodium-ion full batteries. Moreover, this multi-ion battery exhibited good rate performance up to 30 C and a high capacity retention of 95 % over 500 cycles at 5 C. Although the electrochemical performance of this multi-ion battery may be further enhanced via optimizing electrolyte and electrode materials for example, the results presented clearly indicate the feasibility of this multi-ion strategy to improve the electrochemical performance of SIBs for possible energy storage applications.
