Abstract
Metal selenides show outstanding sodium-ion storage performance when matched with an ether-based electrolyte. However, the intrinsic origin of improvement and deterministic interface characteristics have not been systematically elucidated. Herein, employing FeSe2 anode as the model system, the electrochemical kinetics of metal selenides in ether and ester-based electrolytes and associated solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) are investigated in detail. Based on the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique and in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it is found that the ether-based electrolyte can ensure fast Na+ transfer and low interface impedance. Additionally, the ether-derived thin and smooth double-layer SEI, which is critical in facilitating ion transport, maintaining structural stability, and inhibiting electrolyte overdecomposition, is concretely visualized by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This work provides a deep understanding of the optimization mechanism of electrolytes, which can guide available inspiration for the design of practical electrode materials.

Superior sodiophilicity and molecule crowding of crown ether boost the electrochemical performance of all-climate sodium-ion batteries. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2024; 121:e2312337121.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as one of the promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries have achieved remarkable progress in the past. However, the all-climate performance is still very challenging for SIBs. Herein, 15-Crown-5 (15-C-5) is screened as an electrolyte additive from a number of ether molecules theoretically. The good sodiophilicity, high molecule rigidity, and bulky size enable it to reshape the solvation sheath and promote the anion engagement in the solvated structures by molecule crowding. This change also enhances Na-ion transfer, inhibits side reactions, and leads to a thin and robust solid-electrolyte interphase. Furthermore, the electrochemical stability and operating temperature windows of the electrolyte are extended. These profits improve the electrochemical performance of SIBs in all climates, much better than the case without 15-C-5. This improvement is also adopted to μ-Sn, μ-Bi, hard carbon, and MoS2. This work opens a door to prioritize the potential molecules in theory for advanced electrolytes.

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
Due to low cost and high energy density, sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have attracted growing interest, with great potential to power future electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile electronics, which require rapid charge/discharge capability. However, the development of high-rate SMBs has been impeded by the sluggish Na+ ion kinetics, particularly at the sodium metal anode (SMA). The high-rate operation severely threatens the SMA stability, due to the unstable solid-electrolyte interface (SEI), the Na dendrite growth, and large volume changes during Na plating-stripping cycles, leading to rapid electrochemical performance degradations. This review surveys key challenges faced by high-rate SMAs, and highlights representative stabilization strategies, including the general modification of SMB components (including the host, Na metal surface, electrolyte, separator, and cathode), and emerging solutions with the development of solid-state SMBs and liquid metal anodes; the working principle, performance, and application of these strategies are elaborated, to reduce the Na nucleation energy barriers and promote Na+ ion transfer kinetics for stable high-rate Na metal anodes. This review will inspire further efforts to stabilize SMAs and other metal (e.g., Li, K, Mg, Zn) anodes, promoting high-rate applications of high-energy metal batteries towards a more sustainable society.

Abstract
ConspectusLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have achieved great success and dominated the market of portable electronics and electric vehicles owing to their high energy density and long-term cyclability. However, if applying LIBs for large-scale energy storage scenarios, such as regulating the output of electricity generated by sustainable energy in the future age of carbon neutrality, the current electrochemistry of LIBs based on Li-ion interaction/deinteraction between a transition-metal oxide cathode and graphite anode will suffer from problems of scarce natural resources (e.g., Li, Co, and Ni) and high energy consumption/CO2 emission involved in the production of electrodes. Similarly, other commercial batteries such as lead-acid batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries are also plagued by these issues.In contrast, organic electrode materials, especially carbonyl materials, exhibit advantages of abundant resources, renewability, high capacity, environmental friendliness, and structural designability and have shown great promise for various rechargeable batteries in recent years. However, organic carbonyl electrode materials generally exhibit unsatisfactory cycling stability and rate performance, which are highly dependent on the electrolyte and interfacial chemistry. Appropriate electrolytes and a stable electrode/electrolyte interface would be beneficial for preventing the dissolution of organic carbonyl electrode materials and/or their redox intermediates in electrolytes and promoting fast ion transport between the electrode and electrolyte. In this regard, designing an appropriate electrolyte and constructing a stable electrode/electrolyte interface are the keys to enhancing the comprehensive performance of organic carbonyl electrode materials.In this Account, on the basis of our progress and related works from other groups in the past decade, we afford an overview of understanding the effects of electrolyte and interfacial chemistry on the electrochemical performance of organic carbonyl electrode materials. We will start by briefly introducing the basic properties, working mechanisms, and issues of organic carbonyl electrode materials. Then, the implications of electrolyte and electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry on electrochemical performance will be summarized and highlighted through discussing the performance of organic carbonyl electrodes in different types of electrolytes (organic liquid and aqueous and solid-state electrolytes). Meanwhile, the design principles of electrolytes and interfacial chemistry for organic carbonyl electrodes are also discussed. A representative example is that organic carbonyl electrode materials often exhibit better electrochemical performance in ether-based electrolytes than in ester-based electrolytes, which could be mainly attributed to the stable and robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on carbonyl electrodes in the ether-based electrolyte. This example demonstrates the importance of investigating the electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry of organic carbonyl electrode materials. Finally, future perspectives on designing appropriate electrolytes and understanding electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry will also be discussed. It is meaningful to thoroughly reveal the dynamic evolution of the electrode/electrolyte interface during discharge/charge processes and evaluate the compatibility between electrolytes and organic carbonyl electrode materials under practical conditions using limited quantities of electrolytes and high areal-specific-capacity electrodes in the future. This Account could attract more attention to electrolytes and the electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry of organic carbonyl electrode materials and finally promote their future commercial applications.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials (OEMs), valued for their sustainability and structural tunability, have been attracting increasing attention for wide application in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and other rechargeable batteries. However, most OEMs are plagued with insufficient specific capacity or poor cycling stability. Therefore, it's imperative to enhance their specific capacity and cycling stability through molecular design. Herein, we designed and synthesized a heteroaromatic molecule 2,3,8,9,14,15-hexanol hexaazatrinaphthalene (HATN-6OH) by the synergetic coupling of catechol (the precursor of ortho-quinone)/ortho-quinone functional groups and HATN conjugated core structures. The abundance of catechol/ortho-quinone and imine redox-active moieties delivers a high specific capacity of nine-electron transfer for SIBs. Most notably, the π-π interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bond forces among HATN-6OH molecules secure the stable long-term cycling performance of SIBs. Consequently, the as-prepared HATN-6OH electrode exhibited a high specific capacity (554 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), excellent rate capability (202 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 ), and stable long-term cycling performance (73 % after 3000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ) in SIBs. Additionally, the nine-electron transfer mechanism is confirmed by systematic density functional theory (DFT) calculation, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and Raman analysis. The achievement of the synergetic coupling of the redox-active sites on OEMs could be an important key to the enhancement of SIBs and other metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
The slow solid diffusion dynamics of sodium ions and the side-reaction of sodium metal plating at low potential in the hard carbon anode of sodium ion batteries (SIBs) pose significant challenges to the safety manipulation of high-rate batteries. Herein, a simple yet powerful fabricating method is reported on for "egg puff"-like hard carbon with few N doping using rosin as a precursor via liquid salt template-assisted and potassium hydroxide dual activation. The as-synthesized hard carbon delivers promising electrochemical properties in the ether-based electrolyte especially at high rates, based on the absorption mechanism of fast charge transfer. The optimized hard carbon exhibits a high specific capacity of 367 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and 92.9% initial coulombic efficiency (ICE), 183 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 , and ultra-long cycle stability of reversible discharge capacity of 151 mAh g-1 after 12,000 cycles at 5 A g-1 with the average coulombic efficiency of ≈99% and the decay of 0.0026% per cycle. These studies will undoubtedly provide an effective and practical strategy for advanced hard carbon anode of SIBs based on adsorption mechanism.

Abstract
The development of coordination polymers with π-d conjugation (CCPs) provides ide prospects for exploring the next generation of environmental-friendliness energy storage systems. Herein, the synthesis, experimental characterizations, and Na-ion storage mechanism of π-d CCPs with multiple-active sites are reported, which use quinone-fused aza-phenazine (AP) and aza-phenazin (AP) as the organic ligands coordinated with the metal center (Ni2+ ). Among them, NiQAP as the cathode material exhibits impressive electrochemical properties applied in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), including the high initial/stable discharge specific capacities (180.0/225.6 mAh g-1 ) at 0.05 A g-1 , a long-term cycle stability up to 10,000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 with a high reversible capacity of 100.1 mAh g-1 , and good rate capability of 99.6 mAh g-1 even at 5.0 A g-1 . Moreover, the Na-ion storage mechanism of NiQAP is also performed by the density functional theory (DFT) calculation, showing multiple-active sites of C≐O and C≐N (in the quinone and phenazine structure) and NiO4 (in the coordination unit) for Na-ion storage. These results highlight the importance of organic electrode material with the coordination units and provide a foundation for further studying the CCPs with multiple active sites for energy storage systems.

Abstract
The metal-air batteries with the largest theoretical energy densities have been paid much more attention. However, metal-air batteries including Li-air/O2, Li-CO2, Na-air/O2, and Zn-air/O2 batteries, are complex systems that have their respective scientific problems, such as metal dendrite forming/deforming, the kinetics of redox mediators for oxygen reduction/evolution reactions, high overpotentials, desolution of CO2, H2O, etc. from the air and related side reactions on both anode and cathode. It should be the main direction to address these shortages to improve performance. Here, we summarized recently research progress in these metal-air/O2 batteries. Some perspectives are also provided for these research fields.
