Abstract
2D conjugated metal-organic frameworks (2D c-MOFs) with large pore sizes and high surface areas are advantageous for adsorbing iodine species to enhance the electrochemical performance of aqueous dual-ion batteries (ADIBs). However, most of the reported 2D c-MOFs feature microporous structures, with few examples exhibiting mesoporous characteristics. Herein, we developed two mesoporous 2D c-MOFs, namely PA-TAPA-Cu-MOF and PA-PyTTA-Cu-MOF, using newly designed arylimide based multitopic catechol ligands (6OH-PA-TAPA and 8OH-PA-PyTTA). Notably, PA-TAPA-Cu-MOF exhibits the largest pore sizes (3.9 nm) among all reported 2D c-MOFs. Furthermore, we demonstrated that these 2D c-MOFs can serve as promising cathode host materials for polyiodides in ADIBs for the first time. The incorporation of triphenylamine moieties in PA-TAPA-Cu-MOF resulted in a higher specific capacity (423.4 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 1.0 A g-1) and superior cycling performance, retaining 96 % capacity over 1000 cycles at 10 A g-1 compared to PA-PyTTA-Cu-MOF. Our comparative analysis revealed that the increased number of N anchoring sites and larger pore size in PA-TAPA-Cu-MOF facilitate efficient anchoring and conversion of I3 -, as supported by spectroscopic electrochemistry and density functional theory calculations.

Abstract
Zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) have been recognized as a promising energy storage device due to their high energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness. However, the development of ZIBs is hindered by the shuttle effect of polyiodides which results in capacity degradation and poor cycling performance. Inspired by the ability of starch to form inclusion compounds with iodine, we propose to use a starch gel on the cathode to suppress the shuttle of polyiodides. Herein, porous carbon is utilized as a host for iodine species and provides an excellent conductive network, while starch gel is used as another host to suppress polyiodides shuttle, resulting in improved battery performance. The test results demonstrate that the conversion between I-/I2/I3- in the cathode and the effective inclusion role of starch suppress the shuttle of polyiodides during the charging process. Meanwhile, based on the electrochemical tests and theoretical DFT calculations, it is found that starch has a stronger ability to adsorb polyiodides compared to carbon materials, which enables effective confinement of polyiodides. The ZIBs used the cathode with starch gel exhibit high coulombic efficiency (>95 % at 0.2 A/g) and low self-discharge (86.8 % after resting for 24 h). This strategy is characterized by its simplicity, low cost and high applicability, making it significant for the advancement of high-performance ZIBs.

Abstract
The static aqueous rechargeable Zn-Iodine batteries (ARZiBs) have been studied extensively because of their low-cost, high-safety, moderate voltage output, and other unique merits. Nonetheless, the poor electrical conductivity and thermodynamic instability of the iodine cathode, the complicated conversion mechanism, and the severe interfacial reactions at the Zn anode side induce their low operability and unsatisfactory cycling stability. This review first clarifies the typical configuration of ARZiBs with a focus on the energy storage mechanism and uncovers the issues of the ARZiBs from a fundamental point of view. After that, it categorizes the recent optimization strategies into cathode fabrication, electrolyte modulation, and separator/anode modification; and summarizes and highlights the achieved progress of these strategies in advanced ARZiBs. Given that the ARZiBs are still at an early stage, the future research outlook is provided, which hopefully may guide the rational design of advanced ARZiBs.

Abstract
Halogen-powered static conversion batteries (HSCBs) thrive in energy storage applications. They fall into the category of secondary non-flow batteries and operate by reversibly changing the chemical valence of halogens in the electrodes or/and electrolytes to transfer electrons, distinguishing them from the classic rocking-chair batteries. The active halide chemicals developed for these purposes include organic halides, halide salts, halogenated inorganics, organic-inorganic halides and the most widely studied elemental halogens. Aside from this, various redox mechanisms have been discovered based on multi-electron transfer and effective reaction pathways, contributing to improved electrochemical performances and stabilities of HSCBs. In this Review, we discuss the status of HSCBs and their electrochemical mechanism-performance correlations. We first provide a detailed exposition of the fundamental redox mechanisms, thermodynamics, conversion and catalysis chemistry, and mass or electron transfer modes involved in HSCBs. We conclude with a perspective on the challenges faced by the community and opportunities towards practical applications of high-energy halogen cathodes in energy-storage devices.

Abstract
The boom of aqueous Zn-based energy storage devices, such as zinc-iodine (Zn-I2) batteries, is quite suitable for safe and sustainable energy storage technologies. However, in rechargeable aqueous Zn-I2 batteries, the shuttle phenomenon of polyiodide ions usually leads to irreversible capacity loss resulting from both the iodine cathode and the zinc anode, and thus impinges on the cycle lifespan of the battery. Herein, a nontoxic, biocompatible, and economical polymer of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is exploited as an electrolyte additive. Based on comprehensive analysis and computational results, it is evident that the PVA additive, owing to its specific interaction with polyiodide ions and lower binding energy, can effectively suppress the migration of polyiodide ions towards the zinc anode surface, thereby mitigating adverse reactions between polyiodide ions and zinc. Simultaneously, the hydrogen bond network of water molecules is disrupted due to the abundant hydroxyl groups within the PVA additive, leading to a decrease in water activity and mitigating zinc corrosion. Further, because of the preferential adsorption of PVA on the zinc anode surface, the deposition environment for zinc ions is adjusted and its nucleation overpotential increases, which is favorable for the dense and uniform deposition of zinc ions, thus ensuring the improvement of the performance of the Zn-I2 battery. This investigation has inspired the development of a user-friendly and high-performance Zn-I2 battery.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-iodine batteries are considered to be one of the most promising devices for future electrical energy storage due to their low cost, high safety, high theoretical specific capacity, and multivalent properties. However, the shuttle effect currently faced by zinc-iodine batteries causes the loss of cathode active material and corrosion of the zinc anodes, limiting the large-scale application of zinc-iodine batteries. In this paper, the electrochemical processes of iodine conversion and the zinc anode, as well as the induced mechanism of the shuttle effect, are introduced from the basic configuration of the aqueous zinc-iodine battery. Then, the inhibition strategy of the shuttle effect is summarized from four aspects: the design of cathode materials, electrolyte regulation, the modification of the separator, and anode protection. Finally, the current status of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries is analyzed and recommendations and perspectives are presented. This review is expected to deepen the understanding of aqueous zinc-iodide batteries and is expected to guide the design of high-performance aqueous zinc-iodide batteries.

Abstract
Four-electron aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (4eZIBs) leveraging the I-/I0/I+ redox couple have garnered attention for their potential high voltage, capacity, and energy density. However, the electrophilic I+ species is highly susceptible to hydrolysis due to the nucleophilic attack by water. Previous endeavors to develop 4eZIBs primarily relied on highly concentrated aqueous electrolytes to mitigate the hydrolysis issue, nonetheless, it introduced challenges associated with dissolution, high electrolyte viscosity, and sluggish electrode kinetics. In this work, we present a novel complexation strategy that capitalizes on quaternary ammonium salts to form solidified compounds with I+ species, rendering them impervious to solubilization and hydrolysis in aqueous environments. The robust interaction in this complexation chemistry facilitates a highly reversible I-/I0/I+ redox process, significantly improving reaction kinetics within a conventional ZnSO4 aqueous electrolyte. The proposed 4eZIB exhibits a superior rate capability and an extended lifespan of up to 2000 cycles. This complexation chemistry offers a promising pathway for the development of advanced 4eZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-iodine batteries stand out as highly promising energy storage systems owing to the abundance of resources and non-combustible nature of water coupled with their high theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, the development of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries has been impeded by persistent challenges associated with iodine cathodes and Zn anodes. Key obstacles include the shuttle effect of polyiodine and the sluggish kinetics of cathodes, dendrite formation, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and the corrosion and passivation of anodes. Numerous strategies aimed at addressing these issues have been developed, including compositing with carbon materials, using additives, and surface modification. This review provides a recent update on various strategies and perspectives for the development of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries, with a particular emphasis on the regulation of I2 cathodes and Zn anodes, electrolyte formulation, and separator modification. Expanding upon current achievements, future initiatives for the development of aqueous zinc-iodine batteries are proposed, with the aim of advancing their commercial viability.

Abstract
Although conversion-type iodine-based batteries are considered promising for energy storage systems, stable electrode materials are scarce, especially for high-performance multi-electron reactions. The use of tin-based iodine-rich 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) ODASnI4 (ODA: 1,8-octanediamine) perovskite materials as cathode materials for iodine-based batteries is suggested. As a proof of concept, organic lithium-perovskite and aqueous zinc-perovskite batteries are fabricated and they can be operated based on the conventional one-electron and advanced two-electron transfer modes. The active elemental iodine in the perovskite cathode provides capacity through a reversible I- /I+ redox pair conversion at full depth, and the rapid electron injection/extraction leads to excellent reaction kinetics. Consequently, high discharge plateaus (1.71 V vs Zn2+ /Zn; 3.41 V vs Li+ /Li), large capacity (421 mAh g-1 I ), and a low decay rate (1.74 mV mAh-1 g-1 I ) are achieved for lithium and zinc ion batteries, respectively. This study demonstrates the promising potential of perovskite materials for high-performance metal-iodine batteries. Their reactions based on the two-electron transfer mechanism shed light on similar battery systems aiming for decent operational stability and high energy density.

Abstract
As alternatives to batteries with organic electrolytes, aqueous zinc-based batteries (AZBs) have been intensively studied. However, the sluggish kinetics, side reactions, structural collapse, and dissolution of the cathode severely compromise the commercialization of AZBs. Among various strategies to accelerate their practical applications, multi-ion engineering shows great feasibility to maintain the original structure of the cathode and provide sufficient energy density for high-performance AZBs. Though multi-ion engineering strategies could solve most of the problems encountered by AZBs and show great potential in achieving practical AZBs, the comprehensive summaries of the batteries undergo electrochemical reactions involving more than one charge carrier is still in deficiency. The ambiguous nomenclature and classification are becoming the fountainhead of confusion and chaos. In this circumstance, this review overviews all the battery configurations and the corresponding reaction mechanisms are investigated in the multi-ion engineering of aqueous zinc-based batteries. By combing through all the reported works, this is the first to nomenclate the different configurations according to the reaction mechanisms of the additional ions, laying the foundation for future unified discussions. The performance enhancement, fundamental challenges, and future developing direction of multi-ion strategies are accordingly proposed, aiming to further accelerate the pace to achieve the commercialization of AZBs with high performance.

Abstract
Due to the natural abundance of iodine, cost-effective, and sustainability, metal-iodine batteries are competitive for the next-generation energy storage systems with high energy density, and large power density. However, the inherent properties of iodine such as electronic insulation and shuttle behavior of soluble iodine species affect negatively rate performance, cyclability, and self-discharge behavior of metal-iodine batteries, while the dendrite growth and metal corrosion on the anode side brings potential safety hazards and inferior durability. These problems of metal-iodine system still exist and need to be solved urgently. Herein, we summarize the research progress of metal-iodine batteries in the past decades. Firstly, the classification, design strategy and reaction mechanism of iodine electrode are briefly outlined. Secondly, the current development and protection strategy of conventional metal anodes in metal-iodine batteries are highlighted, and some potential anode materials and their design strategies are proposed. Thirdly, the key electrochemical parameters of state-of-art metal-iodine batteries are compared and analyzed to solve critical issues for realizing next-generation iodine-based energy storage systems. Therefore, the aim of this review is to promote the development of metal-iodine batteries and provide guidelines for their design.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-halogen batteries suffer from poor coulombic efficiency and short cycle life owing to the formation and dissolution of polyhalides in electrolytes. Herein, we apply a zinc-dual-halide complex strategy to confine free halides and suppress polyhalide formation. The high stabilities of zinc-dual-halide complexes are identified to be essential for effective confinement. The resulting Zn-Br2 and Zn-I2 cells deliver excellent rate capability and cycling stability, as well as high coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency.

Abstract
The battery chemistry aiming for high energy density calls for the redox couples that embrace multi-electron transfer with high redox potential. Here we report a twelve-electron transfer iodine electrode based on the conversion between iodide and iodate in aqueous electrolyte, which is six times than that of the conventional iodide/iodine redox couple. This is enabled by interhalogen chemistry between iodine (in the electrode) and bromide (in the acidic electrolyte), which provides an electrochemical-chemical loop (the bromide-iodate loop) that accelerates the kinetics and reversibility of the iodide/iodate electrode reaction. In the deliberately designed aqueous electrolyte, the twelve-electron iodine electrode delivers a high specific capacity of 1200 mAh g-1 with good reversibility, corresponding to a high energy density of 1357 Wh kg-1. The proposed iodine electrode is substantially promising for the design of future high energy density aqueous batteries, as validated by the zinc-iodine full battery and the acid-alkaline decoupling battery.

Abstract
Zn-metal batteries (ZnBs) are safe and sustainable because of their operability in aqueous electrolytes, abundance of Zn, and recyclability. However, the thermodynamic instability of Zn metal in aqueous electrolytes is a major bottleneck for its commercialization. As such, Zn deposition (Zn2+ → Zn(s)) is continuously accompanied by the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) (2H+ → H2 ) and dendritic growth that further accentuate the HER. Consequently, the local pH around the Zn electrode increases and promotes the formation of inactive and/or poorly conductive Zn passivation species (Zn + 2H2 O → Zn(OH)2 + H2 ) on the Zn. This aggravates the consumption of Zn and electrolyte and degrades the performance of ZnB. To propel HER beyond its thermodynamic potential (0 V vs standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) at pH 0), the concept of water-in-salt-electrolyte (WISE) has been employed in ZnBs. Since the publication of the first article on WISE for ZnB in 2016, this research area has progressed continuously. Here, an overview and discussion on this promising research direction for accelerating the maturity of ZnBs is provided. The review briefly describes the current issues with conventional aqueous electrolyte in ZnBs, including a historic overview and basic understanding of WISE. Furthermore, the application scenarios of WISE in ZnBs are detailed, with the description of various key mechanisms (e.g., side reactions, Zn electrodeposition, anions or cations intercalation in metal oxide or graphite, and ion transport at low temperature).

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries are attractive as safe and low-cost energy storage systems. At present, due to the narrow window of the aqueous electrolyte and the strong reliance of the Zn2+ ion intercalated reaction on the host structure, the current intercalated cathode materials exhibit restricted energy densities. In contrast, cathode materials with conversion reactions can promise higher energy densities. Especially, the recently reported conversion-type cathode materials that function in nonalkaline electrolytes have garnered increasing attention. This is because the use of nonalkaline electrolytes can prevent the occurrence of side reactions encountered in alkaline electrolytes and thereby enhance cycling stability. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review on the reaction mechanisms, progress, challenges, and solutions to these cathode materials. In this review, four kinds of conversion-type cathode materials including MnO2 , halogen materials (Br2 and I2 ), chalcogenide materials (O2 , S, Se, and Te), and Cu-based compounds (CuI, Cu2 O, Cu2 S, CuO, CuS, and CuSe) are reviewed. First, the reaction mechanisms and battery structures of these materials are introduced. Second, the fundamental problems and their corresponding solutions are discussed in detail in each material. Finally, future directions and efforts for the development of conversion-type cathode materials for aqueous Zn batteries are proposed.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) exhibit a distinct set of performance advantages and disadvantages due to their unique storage mechanism. However, the current cyclability/energy density tradeoffs of anion storage paired with the intrinsic required electrolyte loadings of conventional DIBs preclude their widespread adoption as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite this, their reduced desolvation penalty and low-cost electrode materials may warrant their employment for low-temperature and/or grid storage applications. To expand beyond these applications, this Perspective reviews the prospects of solid salt storage and halogen intercalation-conversion as viable methods to increase DIB energy densities to a level on-par with LIBs. Fundamental limitations of conventional DIBs are examined, technology spaces are proposed where they can make meaningful impact over LIBs, and potential strategies are outlined to improve cell-level energy densities necessary for the widespread adoption of DIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn-Mn2+ electrolysis batteries utilizing the two-electron-transfer reaction between Mn2+ and MnO2 attract great attention because of their superior theoretical capacity (616 mAh g-1). However, the low conductivity of deposited MnO2 and the poor conversion efficiency of Mn2+/MnO2 inevitably result in limited areal capacity and unsatisfied cycling stability, which have become the main hurdles of aqueous Zn-Mn2+ batteries' applications. Herein, we propose a novel Mn2+/I- hybrid cathode that couples the triiodide/iodide redox with the Mn2+/MnO2 redox to optimize the electrolysis kinetics. Because of the synergistically enhanced conversion reaction between Mn2+/I- and the promoter effect of I- to the dissolution of MnO2, this hybrid cathode not only exhibits fast reaction kinetics, thus demonstrating ultrahigh rate capability (100 mA cm-2), but also displays observably enhanced conversion efficiency up to 96.0% with excellent reversibility of 2000 cycles. Especially the superhigh areal capacity of 20 mAh cm-2 with more than 100 cycles among the reported static Zn-Mn2+ electrolysis batteries is demonstrated. The excellent battery performance as well as the facile electrode hybridization approach designed here paves the way for the practical applications of aqueous Zn batteries.

Abstract
Iodine is considered to have broad application prospects in the field of electrochemical energy storage. However, the high solubility of I3- severely hampers its practical application, and the lack of research on the anchoring mechanism of I3- has seriously hindered the development of advanced cathode materials for iodine batteries. Herein, based on the molecular orbital theory, we studied the charge-transfer interaction between the acceptor of I3- with a σ* empty antibonding orbital and the donor of pyrimidine nitrogen with lone-pair electrons, which is proved by the results of UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The prepared dual-ion battery (DIB) exhibits a high voltage platform of 1.2 V, a remarkable discharge-specific capacity of up to 207 mAh g-1, and an energy density of 233 Wh kg-1 at a current density of 5 A g-1, as well as outstanding cycle stability (operating stably for 5000 cycles) with a high Coulombic efficiency of 97%, demonstrating excellent electrochemical performance and a promising prospect in stationary energy storage.

Abstract
Lattice distortion and structure collapse are two intrinsic issues of intercalative-type electrodes derived from repeated ion shuttling. In contrast, rechargeable iodine batteries (RIBs) based on the conversion reaction of iodine stand out for high reversibility and satisfying voltage output characteristics no matter when dealing with both monovalent and multivalent ions. Foreseeable performance superiorities lead to an influx of considerable focus and thus a renaissance in RIBs. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental chemistry of RIBs from the perspectives of physicochemical properties, conversion mechanism, and existing issues. Furthermore, we refine the optimization strategies for high-performance RIBs, focusing on physical adsorption and chemical interaction strengthening, electrolytes regulation, and nanoscale-iodine design. Then the pros and cons of tremendous RIBs are compared and specified. Ultimately, we conclude with remaining challenges and perspectives to our best knowledge, which may inspire the construction of next-generation RIBs.

Abstract
Microbatteries (MBs) are promising candidates to provide power for various miniaturized electronic devices, yet they generally suffer from complicated fabrication procedures and low areal energy density. Besides, all cathodes of current MBs are solid state, and the trade-off between areal capacity and reaction kinetics restricts their wide applications. Here, we propose a dual-plating strategy to facilely prepare zinc-bromine MBs (Zn-Br2 MBs) with a liquid cathode to achieve both high areal energy density and fast kinetics simultaneously. The Zn-Br2 MBs deliver a record high areal energy density of 3.6 mWh cm-2, almost an order of magnitude higher than available planar MBs. Meanwhile, they show a polarity-switchable feature to tolerate confusion of cathode and anode. This strategy could also be extended to other battery systems, such as Zn-I2 and Zn-MnO2 MBs. This work not only proposes an effective construction method for MBs but also enriches categories of microscale energy storage devices.

Abstract
Aqueous batteries have been considered as the most promising alternatives to the dominant lithium-based battery technologies because of their low cost, abundant resources and high safety. The output voltage of aqueous batteries is limited by the narrow stable voltage window of 1.23 V for water, which theoretically impedes further improvement of their energy density. However, the pH-decoupling electrolyte with an acidic catholyte and an alkaline anolyte has been verified to broaden the operating voltage window of the aqueous electrolyte to over 3 V, which goes beyond the voltage limitations of the aqueous batteries, making high-energy aqueous batteries possible. In this Review, we summarize the latest decoupled aqueous batteries based on pH-decoupling electrolytes from the perspective of ion-selective membranes, competitive redox couples and potential battery prototypes. The inherent defects and problems of these decoupled aqueous batteries are systematically analysed, and the critical scientific issues of this battery technology for future applications are discussed.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs), including zinc-iodine redox flow batteries and static ZIBs, are promising candidates for future grid-scale electrochemical energy storage. They are safe with great theoretical capacity, high energy, and power density. Nevertheless, to make aqueous rechargeable ZIBs practically feasible, there are quite a few hurdles that need to be overcome, including self-discharge, sluggish kinetics, low energy density, and instability of Zn metal anodes. This article first reviews the electrochemistry in aqueous rechargeable ZIBs, including the flow and static battery configurations and their electrode reactions. Then the authors discuss the fundamental questions of ZIBs and highlight the key strategies and recent accomplishments in tackling the challenges. Last, they share their thoughts on the future research development in aqueous rechargeable ZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc iodide (Zn-I2) batteries are promising large-scale energy-storage devices. However, the uncontrollable diffuse away/shuttle of soluble I3- leads to energy loss (low Coulombic efficiency, CE), and poor reversibility (self-discharge). Herein, we employ an ordered framework window within a zeolite molecular sieve to restrain I3- crossover and prepare zeolite molecular sieve particles into compact, large-scale, and flexible membranes at the engineering level. The as-prepared membrane can confine I3- within the catholyte region and restrain its irreversible escape, which is proved via space-resolution and electrochemical in situ time-resolution Raman technologies. As a result, overcharge/self-discharge and Zn corrosion are effectively controlled by zeolite separator. After replacing the typically used glass fiber separator to a zeolite membrane, the CE of Zn-I2 battery improves from 78.9 to 98.6% at 0.2 A/g. Besides, after aging at the fully charged state for 5.0 h, self-discharge is restrained and CE is enhanced from 44.0 to 85.65%. Moreover, the Zn-I2 cell maintains 91.0% capacity over 30,000 cycles at 4.0 A/g.

Abstract
The rechargeable zinc-iodine (Zn-I2) battery is a promising energy-storage system due to its low cost and good security, but the practical use of the battery is largely constrained by the shuttle effect and high dissolvability of iodides. Here a multifunctional iodine host, constructed with nitrogen-doped porous carbon nanocages (NCCs) by the polymerization carbonization activation method, is exploited to improve the electrochemical performance and lifespan of the Zn-I2 battery, achieving a high specific capacity of 259 mAh g-1, a good rate performance (maintaining 50.6% expanding 50 times), and a high cycle stability (retention of 100% after 1000 cycles). On the basis of the experimental results and theoretical calculations, NCCs via the introduction of N doping and nanosized porous structure can simultaneously provide rich and robust anchoring and catalytic sites to carry out the electrostatic adsorption of iodides and facilitate the reversible conversion between iodine and iodides. This work shows a novel and efficient strategy to develop high-performance and long-life Zn-I2 batteries.

Abstract
Increasing the electrochemical stability window and working temperature range of supercapacitor aqueous electrolyte is the major task in order to advance aqueous electrolyte-based supercapacitors. Here, a supramolecular induced new electrolyte of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water co-solvent system is proposed. Adjusting the coordination structure among LiTFSI, DMSO, and water in the electrolyte via supramolecular interactions results in its high ionic conductivity, low viscosity, wide electrochemical stability window, and large working temperature range. The new electrolyte-based supercapacitors can work in 2.40 V working potential and 130 °C working-temperature range from -40 to 90 °C. The devices exhibit good electrochemical performances, especially the energy density over 21 Wh kg-1, which is much higher than that with traditional aqueous electrolytes (<10 Wh kg-1). The work paves a way to develop high-performance aqueous electrolytes for supercapacitors.

Abstract
Dendrite growth and low Coulombic efficiency caused by uneven diffusion and electrodeposition of Zn2+ ions have emerged as a barrier to exploit the Zn metal anode. In this work, we demonstrate the stoichiometric halogenated MXenes (Ti3C2Cl2, Ti3C2Br2, and Ti3C2I2) as an artificial layer that can induce the uniform Zn deposition. The efficient redistribution effect results from the coherent heterogeneous interface reconstruction and regulated ion tiling by halogen surficial termination. The synergetic effects of high lattice matching (90%) between the adopted MXenes and Zn, as well as the positive halogen regulation, Zn2+ ions are guided to nucleate uniformly on the most extensive (000l) crystal plane of the MXene matrix and grow in a planar manner. In terms of Zn ion regulation, Cl termination is found to be more effective than O/F, Br, and I due to its moderate adsorption and diffusion coefficiency for Zn2+ ions. The Ti3C2Cl2-Zn anode achieves a life extension of over 12 times (840 h at 2 mA cm-2//1 mAh cm-2) over that of the bare Zn anode and serves more than 9000 cycles in a battery with a Ti3C2I2 cathode at a high rate of 3 A g-1. Given the abundance of lattice parameters and terminations of MXene materials, the developed strategy is expected to be extended to other metal anode systems.

Abstract
As high performance and safety alternatives to the batteries with organic electrolytes, aqueous zinc-based batteries are still far from satisfactory in practical use because of the limitation of the intercalation reaction mechanism and the strict requirements for the cathodes. Very recently, zinc-based dual electrolytic batteries (DEBs), where the cathode and anode are both based on reversible electrolytic reactions, are emerging. It features with electrode-free configuration, thus avoiding the preliminary active materials or electrode fabrication procedures. Meanwhile, the new battery chemistry typically possesses a high specific capacity, output voltage, faster reaction rates, and long cycling life. Herein, the advances of the development of various zinc-based DEBs, including Zn-MnO2 , Zn-Br2 , and Zn-I2 DEBs, are systematically summarized. This review will focus on the working mechanisms of these batteries and how the decoupling catholyte and anolyte affect their output voltages. The perspectives of the opportunities and challenges are also suggested in the aspects of protecting zinc anode, enhancing volumetric energy density, suppressing fast self-discharge, and developing multifunctional integrated zinc-based DEBs.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates for grid energy storage because they are safe and low-cost and have high energy density. However, the shuttling of highly soluble triiodide ions severely limits the device's Coulombic efficiency. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time a double-layered cathode configuration with a conductive layer (CL) coupled with an adsorptive layer (AL) for ZIBs. This unique cathode structure enables the formation and reduction of adsorbed I3- ions at the CL/AL interface, successfully suppressing triiodide ion shuttling. A prototypical ZIB using a carbon cloth as the CL and a polypyrrole layer as the AL simultaneously achieves outstanding Coulombic efficiency (up to 95.6%) and voltage efficiency (up to 91.3%) in the aqueous ZnI2 electrolyte even at high-rate intermittent charging/discharging, without the need of ion selective membranes. These findings provide new insights to the design and fabrication of ZIBs and other batteries based on conversion reactions.

Abstract
Weak binding and affinity between the conductive support and iodine species leads to inadequate electron transfer and the shuttle effect. Herein, redox kinetics and duration are significantly boosted by introducing a Nb2 CTX host that is classified as a layered 2D Nb-based MXene. With a facile electrodeposition strategy, initial I- ions are electrically driven to insert in the nanosized interlayers and are electro-oxidized in situ. Linear I2 is firmly confined inside and benefits from the rapid charge supply from the MXene. Consequently, an aqueous Zn battery based on a Zn metal anode and ZnSO4 electrolyte delivers an ultraflat plateau at 1.3 V, which contributes to 84.5% of the capacity and 89.1% of the energy density. Record rate capability (143 mAh g-1 at 18 A g-1 ) and lifespan (23 000) cycles are achieved, which are far superior to those of all reported aqueous MXenes and I2 -metal batteries. Moreover, the low voltage decay rate of 5.6 mV h-1 indicates its superior anti-self-discharge properties. Physicochemical analyses and density functional theory calculations elucidate that the localized electron transfer and trapping effect of the Nb2 CTX MXene host are responsible for enhanced kinetics and suppressed shuttle behavior. This work can be extended to the fabrication of other I2 -metal batteries with long-life-time expectations.

Abstract
With fluidity and dangerous corrosiveness, liquid insulating bromine elemental (Br2) can hardly be confined by traditional conductive carriers (mainly carbon materials) for efficient redox without shuttle behavior. Thus, stationary Br2-based energy storage devices are rarely advanced. Here, we introduce an electrochemical active parasite Br2 to the Ti3C2TXMXene host and construct an advanced aqueous zinc redox battery via a facile electrodeposition process (Br-Ti3C2TX). Both ex situ experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) simulations have validated the natural affinity between MXenes and Br species, which is manifested as their spontaneous fixation accompanied by rapid transfer of electrons in the interface region and interlayer confinement. Consequently, the battery delivers a high-voltage plateau at 1.75 V that contributes to an improved energy density of 259 Wh kg-1Br (144 Wh kg-1Br-Ti3C2TX), exhibiting efficient output capability in the high-voltage region. Besides, benefiting from enhanced redox kinetics, the capacity achieved at -15 °C approaches to 69% of the value at room temperature. More importantly, an excellent 10 000 cycles at -15 °C with negligible capacity decay is identified. The paradigm represents a step forward for developing stationary aqueous metal-Br2 batteries.

Abstract
Electrochemically reversible redox couples that embrace more electron transfer at a higher potential are the eternal target for energy storage batteries. Here, we report a four-electron aqueous zinc-iodine battery by activating the highly reversible I2/I+ couple (1.83 V vs. Zn/Zn2+) in addition to the typical I-/I2 couple (1.29 V). This is achieved by intensive solvation of the aqueous electrolyte to yield ICl inter-halogens and to suspend its hydrolysis. Experimental characterization and modelling reveal that limited water activity and sufficient free chloride ions in the electrolyte are crucial for the four-electron process. The merits of the electrolyte also afford to stabilize Zn anode, leading to a reliable Zn-I2 aqueous battery of 6000 cycles. Owing to high operational voltage and capacity, energy density up to 750 Wh kg-1 based on iodine mass was achieved (15-20 wt% iodine in electrode). It pushes the Zn-I2 battery to a superior level among these available aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous alkaline batteries see bright future in renewable energy storage and utilization, but their practical application is greatly challenged by the unsatisfactory performance of anode materials. Herein, we demonstrate a latent Sb stripping/plating chemistry by constructing an oxygen-rich interface on carbon substrate, thus providing a decent anode candidate. The functional interface effectively lowers the nucleation overpotential of Sb and strengthens the absorption capability of the charge carriers (SbO2− ions). These two advantageous properties inhibit the occurrence of side reactions and thus enable highly reversible Sb stripping/plating. Consequently, the Sb anode delivers theoretical-value-close specific capacity (627.1 mA h g−1), high depth of discharge (95.0%) and maintains 92.4% coulombic efficiency over 1000 cycles. A robust aqueous NiCo2O4//Sb device with high energy density and prominent durability is also demonstrated. This work provides a train of thoughts for the development of aqueous alkaline batteries based on Sb chemistry. The practical application of aqueous alkaline battery is confined by limited choice of anode. Here, the authors demonstrate an oxygen-rich interface induced reversible Sb stripping/plating chemistry that provides a promising Sb metal anode with fast reaction kinetics and favourable stability.

Abstract
A rechargeable Zn-ion battery is a promising aqueous system, where coinsertion of Zn2+ and H+ could address the obstacles of the sluggish ionic transport in cathode materials imposed by multivalent battery chemistry. However, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of this dual-ion transport, especially the potentiodynamics of the storage process. Here, a quantitative analysis of Zn2+ and H+ transport in a disordered sodium vanadate (NaV3O8) cathode material has been reported. Collectively, synchrotron X-ray analysis shows that both Zn2+ and H+ storages follow an intercalation storage mechanism in NaV3O8 and proceed in a sequential manner, where intercalations of 0.26 Zn2+ followed by 0.24 H+ per vanadium atom occur during discharging, while reverse dynamics happens during charging. Such a unique and synergistic dual-ion sequential storage favors a high capacity (265 mA h g-1) and an energy density (221 W h kg-1) based on the NaV3O8 cathode and a great cycling life (a capacity retention of 78% after 2000 cycles) in Zn/NaV3O8 full cells.

Abstract
Halogen redox couples offer several advantages for energy storage such as low cost, high solubility in water, and high redox potential. However, the operational complexity of storing halogens at the oxidation state via liquid-phase media hampers their widespread application in energy-storage devices. Herein, an aqueous zinc-dual-halogen battery system taking the advantages of redox flow batteries (inherent scalability) and intercalation chemistry (high capacity) is designed and fabricated. To enhance specific energy, the designed cell exploits both bromine and chlorine as the cathode redox couples that are present as halozinc complexes in a newly developed molten hydrate electrolyte, which is distinctive to the conventional zinc-bromine batteries. Benefiting from the reversible uptake of halogens at the graphite cathode, exclusive reliance on earth-abundant elements, and membrane-free and possible flow-through configuration, the proposed battery can potentially realize high-performance massive electric energy storage at a reasonable cost.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn batteries are promising energy-storage devices. However, their lifespan is limited by irreversible Zn anodes owing to water decomposition and Zn dendrite growth. Here, we separate aqueous electrolyte from Zn anode by coating a thin MOF layer on anode and filling the pores of MOF with hydrophobic Zn(TFSI)2 -tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)phosphate (TFEP) organic electrolyte that is immiscible with aqueous Zn(TFSI)2 -H2 O bulk electrolyte. The MOF encapsulated Zn(TFSI)2 -TFEP forms a ZnF2 -Zn3 (PO4 )2 solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) preventing Zn dendrite and water decomposition. The Zn(TFSI)2 -TFEP@MOF electrolyte protected Zn anode enables a Zn||Ti cell to achieve a high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.1 % for 350 cycles. The highly reversible Zn anode brings a high energy density of 210 Wh kg-1 (of cathode and anode mass) and a low capacity decay rate of 0.0047 % per cycle over 600 cycles in a Zn||MnO2 full cell with a low capacity ratio of Zn:MnO2 at 2:1.

Abstract
Safety concerns about organic media-based batteries are the key public arguments against their widespread usage. Aqueous batteries (ABs), based on water which is environmentally benign, provide a promising alternative for safe, cost-effective, and scalable energy storage, with high power density and tolerance against mishandling. Research interests and achievements in ABs have surged globally in the past 5 years. However, their large-scale application is plagued by the limited output voltage and inadequate energy density. We present the challenges in AB fundamental research, focusing on the design of advanced materials and practical applications of whole devices. Potential interactions of the challenges in different AB systems are established. A critical appraisal of recent advances in ABs is presented for addressing the key issues, with special emphasis on the connection between advanced materials and emerging electrochemistry. Last, we provide a roadmap starting with material design and ending with the commercialization of next-generation reliable ABs.

Abstract
Over the past decades, Li-ion battery (LIB) has turned into one of the most important advances in the history of technology due to its extensive and in-depth impact on our life. Its omnipresence in all electric vehicles, consumer electronics and electric grids relies on the precisely tuned electrochemical dynamics and interactions among the electrolytes and the diversified anode and cathode chemistries therein. With consumers' demand for battery performance ever increasing, more and more stringent requirements are being imposed upon the established equilibria among these LIB components, and it became clear that the state-of-the-art electrolyte systems could no longer sustain the desired technological trajectory. Driven by such gap, researchers started to explore more unconventional electrolyte systems. From superconcentrated solvent-in-salt electrolytes to solid-state electrolytes, the current research realm of novel electrolyte systems has grown to unprecedented levels. In this review, we will avoid discussions on current state-of-the-art electrolytes but instead focus exclusively on unconventional electrolyte systems that represent new concepts.
