Abstract
Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) present great application potential in low-temperature energy storage scenarios due to their unique dual-ion working mechanism. However, at low temperatures, the insufficient electrochemical oxidation stability of electrolytes and depressed interfacial compatibility impair the DIB performance. Here, we design a variant-localized high-concentration solvation structure for universal low-temperature electrolytes (ν-LHCE) without the phase separation via introducing an extremely weak-solvating solvent with low energy levels. The unique solvation structure gives the ν-LHCE enhanced electrochemical oxidation stability. Meanwhile, the extremely weak-solvating solvent can competitively participate in the Li+-solvated coordination, which improves the Li+ transfer kinetics and boosts the formation of robust interphases. Thus, the ν-LHCE electrolyte not only has a good high-voltage stability of >5.5 V and proper Li+ transference number of 0.51 but also shows high ionic conductivities of 1 mS/cm at low temperatures. Consequently, the ν-LHCE electrolyte enables different types of batteries to achieve excellent long-term cycling stability and good rate capability at both room and low temperatures. Especially, the capacity retentions of the DIB are 77.7 % and 51.6 %, at -40 °C and -60 °C, respectively, indicating great potential for low-temperature energy storage applications, such as polar exploration, emergency communication equipment, and energy storage station in cold regions.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous chloride-ion batteries (ACIBs) using Cl- ions as charge carriers represent a promising energy-storage technology, especially when natural seawater is introduced as the electrolyte, which can bring remarkable advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, safety, and environmental sustainability. However, the implementation of this technology is hindered by the scarcity of electrodes capable of reversible chloride-anion storage. Here, we show that a Ti3C2Clx MXene with Cl surface terminations enables reversible Cl- ion storage in aqueous electrolytes. Further, we developed seawater-based ACIBs that show a high specific capacity and an exceptionally long lifespan (40000 cycles, more than 1 year) in natural seawater electrolyte. The pouch-type cells achieve a high energy density (50 Wh Lcell-1) and maintain stable performance across a broad temperature range (-20 to 50 °C). Our investigations reveal that the covalent interaction between Cl- ions and Cl-terminated MXene facilitates Cl- ion intercalation into the MXene interlayer, promoting rapid ion migration with a low energy barrier (0.10 eV). Moreover, this MXene variant also enables the reversible storage of Br- ions in an aqueous electrolyte with a long cycle life. This study may advance the design of anion storage electrodes and enable the development of sustainable aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Exploring and developing new rechargeable halide-ion batteries plays an important role in the advancement and growth of the ion battery family. Here, we systematically explored the feasibility of single-layer MXenes and their hydrogenated derivatives as electrode materials for halide-ion batteries via first-principles theory. The calculated results indicate that halide ions (T ions) can be stably and efficiently adsorbed on the surfaces of M2X and M2XH2, with theoretical specific capacities ranging from 227 to 497 mAh g-1. The diffusion barriers of the T ion on MXenes are from 0.55 to 0.10 eV, comparable to those of the Li ion in graphite and LiCoO2. The electronegativity of halide anions displays significant impacts on their discharge voltage plateaus on M2X, with the highest voltage up to 5.60 V for the F ion. As a comparison, the hydrogenation of M2XH2 with less surface activity raises a 2-3 V voltage reduction. All MXene-based full cells of TxTi2C|TyTi2CH2 (where x = 0-2 and y = 2-0) and TxTi2N|TyTi2NH2 (where x = 0-2 and y = 2-0) demonstrated high full battery specific energies for F-, Cl-, and Br-ion batteries, up to 462 Wh kg-1. These results demonstrate the potential of new halide-ion battery designs, paving the way for future research and innovation in battery technology.

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
The high energy density and cost-effectiveness of chloride-ion batteries (CIBs) make them promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. However, the development of CIBs is greatly restricted by the lack of compatible electrolytes to support cost-effective anodes. Herein, we present a rationally designed solid polycationic electrolyte (SPE) to enable room-temperature chloride-ion batteries utilizing aluminum (Al) metal as an anode. This SPE endows the CIB configuration with improved air stability and safety (i.e. free of flammability and liquid leakage). A high ionic conductivity (1.3×10-2 S cm-1 at 25 °C) has been achieved by the well-tailored coordination structure of the SPE. Meanwhile, the solid polycationic electrolyte ensures stable electrodes|electrolyte interfaces, which effectively inhibit the growth of dendrites on the Al anodes and degradation of the FeOCl cathodes. The Al|SPE|FeOCl chloride-ion batteries showcased a high discharge capacity around 250 mAh g-1 (based on the cathodes) and extended lifespan. Our electrolyte design opens a new avenue for developing low-cost chloride-ion batteries.

Abstract
The exploitation of new anion battery systems based on high-abundance oceanic elements (e.g., F-, Cl-, and Br-) is a strong supplement to the current metal cation (e.g., Li+, Na+) battery technologies. Bismuth (Bi), the rare anion-specific anode species nearest to practical application for chloride ion storage, is plagued by volume expansion and structure collapse due to limited control of its conversion behavior. Here, we reveal that a unique epitaxy-like conversion mechanism in the monocrystalline Bi nanospheres (R3m group) can drastically inhibit grain pulverization and capacity fading, which is enabled by Cl- intercalation in their interlayer space. The Bi nanosphere anode can self-evolve and transform into a rigid BiOCl nanosheet-interlaced structure after the initial conversion reaction. With this epitaxy-like conversion mechanism, the Bi anode exhibits a record-high capacity of 249 mAh g-1 (∼1.2 mAh cm-2) at 0.25 C and sustains more than 1400 h with 20% capacity loss. Pairing this anode with a Prussian blue cathode, the full battery can deliver an ultrahigh desalination capacity of 127.1 m gCl gBi-1. Our study milestones the understanding of conversion-type anode structures, which is an essential step toward the commercialization of aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Anionic chemistry modulation represents a promising avenue to enhance the electrochemical performance and unlock versatile applications in cutting-edge energy storage devices. Herein, we propose a methodology that involves anionic chemistry of carbonate anions to tailor the electrochemical oxidation-reduction reactions of bismuth (Bi) electrodes, where the conversion energy barrier for Bi (0) to Bi (III) has been significantly reduced, endowing anionic full batteries with enhanced electrochemical kinetics and chemical self-charging property. The elaborately designed batteries with an air-switch demonstrate rapid self-recharging capabilities, recovering over 80 % of the electrochemical full charging capacity within a remarkably short timeframe of 1 hour and achieving a cumulative self-charging capacity of 5 Ah g-1. The aqueous self-charging battery strategy induced by carbonate anion, as proposed in this study, holds the potential for extending to various anionic systems, including seawater-based Cl- ion batteries. This work offers a universal framework for advancing next-generation multi-functional power sources.

Abstract
The extensively studied Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) in various batteries are limited by their low discharge capacity, or subpar rate etc., which are solely reliant on the cation (de)intercalation mechanism. In contrast to the currently predominant focus on cations, we report the overlooked anion-cation competition chemistry (Cl-, K+, Zn2+) stimulated by high-voltage scanning. With our designed anion-cation combinations, the KFeMnHCF cathode battery delivers comprehensively superior discharge performance, including voltage plateau >2.0 V (vs. Zn/Zn2+), capacity >150 mAh g-1, rate capability with capacity maintenance above 96 % from 0.6 to 5 A g-1, and cyclic stability exceeding 3000 cycles. We further verify that such comprehensive improvement of electrochemical performance utilizing anion-cation competition chemistry is universal for different types of PBAs. Our work would pave a new and efficient road towards the next-generation high-performance PBAs cathode batteries.

Abstract
Organics are gaining significance as electrode materials due to their merits of multi-electron reaction sites, flexible rearrangeable structures and redox reversibility. However, organics encounter finite electronic conductivity and inferior durability especially in organic electrolytes. To circumvent above barriers, we propose a novel design strategy, constructing conductive network structures with extended π-π superposition effect by manipulating intermolecular interaction. Tetralithium 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylate (LNTC) interwoven by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) forms LNTC@CNTs composite firstly for Li-ion storage, where multiple conjugated carboxyls contribute sufficient Li-ion storage sites, the unique network feature enables electrolyte and charge mobility conveniently combining electron delocalization in π-conjugated system, and the enhanced π-π superposition effect between LNTC and CNTs endows laudable structural robustness. Accordingly, LNTC@CNTs maintain an excellent Li-ion storage capacity retention of 96.4 % after 400 cycles. Electrochemical experiments and theoretical simulations elucidate the fast reaction kinetics and reversible Li-ion storage stability owing to the electron delocalization and π-π superposition effect, while conjugated carboxyls are reversibly rearranged into enolates during charging/discharging. Consequently, a dual-ion battery combining this composite anode and expanded graphite cathode exhibits a peak specific capacity of 122 mAh g-1 and long cycling life with a capacity retention of 84.2 % after 900 cycles.

Abstract
Zinc-organic batteries (ZOBs) are receiving widespread attention as up-and-coming energy-storage systems due to their sustainability, operational safety and low cost. Charge carrier is one of the critical factors affecting the redox kinetics and electrochemical performances of ZOBs. Compared with conventional large-sized and sluggish Zn2+ storage, non-metallic charge carriers with small hydrated size and light weight show accelerated interfacial dehydration and fast reaction kinetics, enabling superior electrochemical metrics for ZOBs. Thus, it is valuable and ongoing works to build better ZOBs with non-metallic ion storage. In this review, versatile non-metallic cationic (H+, NH4 +) and anionic (Cl-, OH-, CF3SO3 -, SO4 2-) charge carriers of ZOBs are first categorized with a brief comparison of their respective physicochemical properties and chemical interactions with redox-active organic materials. Furthermore, this work highlights the implementation effectiveness of non-metallic ions in ZOBs, giving insights into the impact of ion types on the metrics (capacity, rate capability, operation voltage, and cycle life) of organic cathodes. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of non-metal-ion-based ZOBs are outlined to guild the future development of next-generation energy communities.

Abstract
The renewable energy industry demands rechargeable batteries that can be manufactured at low cost using abundant resources while offering high energy density, good safety, wide operating temperature windows, and long lifespans. Utilizing fluorine chemistry to redesign battery configurations/components is considered a critical strategy to fulfill these requirements due to the natural abundance, robust bond strength, and extraordinary electronegativity of fluorine and the high free energy of fluoride formation, which enables the fluorinated components with cost effectiveness, nonflammability, and intrinsic stability. In particular, fluorinated materials and electrode|electrolyte interphases have been demonstrated to significantly affect reaction reversibility/kinetics, safety, and temperature tolerance of rechargeable batteries. However, the underlining principles governing material design and the mechanistic insights of interphases at the atomic level have been largely overlooked. This review covers a wide range of topics from the exploration of fluorine-containing electrodes, fluorinated electrolyte constituents, and other fluorinated battery components for metal-ion shuttle batteries to constructing fluoride-ion batteries, dual-ion batteries, and other new chemistries. In doing so, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property interactions, the features of fluorinated interphases, and cutting-edge techniques for elucidating the role of fluorine chemistry in rechargeable batteries. Further, we present current challenges and promising strategies for employing fluorine chemistry, aiming to advance the electrochemical performance, wide temperature operation, and safety attributes of rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Sustainable battery concepts are of great importance for the energy storage demands of the future. Organic batteries based on redox-active polymers are one class of promising storage systems to meet these demands, in particular when combined with environmentally friendly and safe electrolytes. Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) represent a class of electrolytes that can be produced from sustainable sources and exhibit in most cases no or only a small environmental impact. Because of their non-flammability, DESs are safe, while providing an electrochemical stability window almost comparable to established battery electrolytes and much broader than typical aqueous electrolytes. Here, we report the first all-organic battery cell based on a DES electrolyte, which in this case is composed of sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (NaTFSI) and N-methylacetamide (NMA) alongside the electrode active materials poly(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl-oxyl methacrylate) (PTMA) and crosslinked poly(vinylbenzylviologen) (X-PVBV2+ ). The resulting cell shows two voltage plateaus at 1.07 V and 1.58 V and achieves Coulombic efficiencies of 98 %. Surprisingly, the X-PVBV/X-PVBV+ redox couple turned out to be much more stable in NaTFSI : NMA 1 : 6 than the X-PVBV+ /X-PVBV2+ couple, leading to asymmetric capacity fading during cycling tests.

Abstract
Perovskite chloride, an anion conductor, is a promising candidate to be a solid electrolyte for high-energy and sustainable chloride ion batteries (CIB). However, it suffers from poor structural stability at low temperature and in ambient conditions, which leads to its transformation from an ionic conductor to an insulator. Herein, a bismuth and chlorine dual doping strategy is developed to stabilize the cubic structure of CsSnCl3 in harsh environments. The as-prepared dual-doped CsSn0.9 Bi0.1 Cl3.1 material with an optimized composition maintains its cubic structure at the extremely low temperature of 213 K for 10 days and at 40% relative humidity for 50 days, while the undoped cubic material deteriorates and transforms to a monoclinic phase under these conditions in less than 1 day. Consequently, the dual doping achieves efficient chloride ion conduction that is superior to single bismuth doping due to the introduction of interstitial chlorine facilitating chloride ion transport. Importantly, the practicality of the as-prepared solid electrolyte is demonstrated in different symmetric solid cells and by various CIBs using the organic electrode couple, a multivalent metal chloride cathode, or a new high-voltage metal oxychloride cathode.

Abstract
A unique prospect of using halides as charge carriers is the possibility of the halides undergoing anodic redox behaviors when serving as charge carriers for the charge-neutrality compensation of electrodes. However, the anodic conversion of halides to neutral halogen species has often been irreversible at room temperature due to the emergence of diatomic halogen gaseous products. Here, we report that chloride ions can be reversibly converted to near-neutral atomic chlorine species in the Mn3O4 electrode at room temperature in a highly concentrated chloride-based aqueous electrolyte. Notably, the Zn2+ cations inserted in the first discharge and trapped in the Mn3O4 structure create an environment to stabilize the converted chlorine atoms within the structure. Characterization results suggest that the Cl/Cl- redox is responsible for the observed large capacity, as the oxidation state of Mn barely changes upon charging. Computation results corroborate that the converted chlorine species exist as polychloride monoanions, e.g., [Cl3]- and [Cl5]-, inside the Zn2+-trapped Mn3O4, and the presence of polychloride species is confirmed experimentally. Our results point to the halogen plating inside electrode lattices as a new charge-storage mechanism.

Abstract
Emerging dual-graphite batteries (DGBs) capture extensive interest for their high output voltage and exceptional cost-effectiveness. Yet, developing electrolytes compatible with both the cathode and anode stands to be a tremendous challenge, and how electrolyte impacts anion and cation intercalation into graphite remains inexplicit or controversial. Herein, we have evaluated the performance of graphite anode and cathode in typical ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) based electrolytes and unveiled their electrode-electrolyte interphase using Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM). The addition of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) brings substantial improvement in cycle stability and Coulombic efficiency for both the graphite cathode and anode, but its implication on cation and anion intercalation differs. FEC is involved in anodic side reactions to produce a LiF-embedded solid-electrolyte interphase layer. It is much thinner and more uniform than that formed in the electrolyte without FEC, which is correlated with less graphite exfoliation and enhanced stability. As for the graphite cathode, both basal and edge planes are largely bare, and only few scattered byproducts are found. In addition, we also reveal layer bending and local lattice disordering of the graphite cathode based on multiple Cryo-TEM images, which are speculated to be caused by high lattice strain induced by anion intercalation and local oxidation under high voltage. The absence of cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers overturns the paradigm of attributing cathodic performance to CEI features and is regarded as a fundamental reason for severe self-discharge of graphite cathode. FEC helps to alleviate graphite exfoliation issues and enhance cycle stability, and we ascribe it to weakened solvation, which means reduced probability of solvent co-intercalation during charging, rather than compositional changes of cathodic byproducts.

This paper provides an extensive overview on the various energy applications of ILs and offers some thinking and viewpoints on the current challenges and emerging opportunities in each area. The basic fundamentals (structures and properties) of ILs are first introduced. Then, motivations and successful applications of ILs in the energy field are concisely outlined. Later, a detailed review of recent representative works in each area is provided. For each application, the role of ILs and their associated benefits are elaborated. Research trends and insights into the selection of ILs to achieve improved performance are analyzed as well. Challenges and future opportunities are pointed out before the paper is concluded.

Abstract
Chloride-ion batteries (CIBs) are one of the promising candidates for energy storage due to their low cost, high theoretical energy density and high safety. However, the limited types of cathode materials in CIBs have hindered their development. In this work, a NiTi-LDH@CNT composite is prepared using a reverse microemulsion method and applied in CIBs for the first time. The specific surface area and the pore volume of the obtained NiTi-LDH@CNT composites can reach 266 m2 g-1 and 0.42 cm3 g-1, respectively. Electrochemical tests indicate that the composite electrode delivers a reversible specific capacity of 69 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1 in 0.5 M PP14Cl/PC electrolyte. Ni2+/Ni3+ and Ti3+/Ti4+ valence changes during electrochemical cycling are demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), while reversible migration of Cl- is revealed by ex-situ EDS and ex-situ XRD. The stable layered structure and abundant valence changes of the NiTi-LDH@CNT composite make it an exceptional candidate as a cathode material for CIBs.

Abstract
BaSnF4 is a prospective solid state electrolyte for fluoride ion batteries. However, the diffusion mechanism of the fluoride ions remains difficult to study, both in experiments and in simulations. In principle, ab initio molecular dynamics could allow to fill this gap, but this method remains very costly from the computational point of view. Using machine learning potentials is a promising method that can potentially address the accuracy issues of classical empirical potentials while maintaining high efficiency. In this work, we fitted a dipole polarizable ion model and trained machine learning potential for BaSnF4 and made comprehensive comparisons on the ease of training, accuracy and efficiency. We also compared the results with the case of a simpler ionic system (NaF). We show that contrarily to the latter, for BaSnF4 the machine learning potential offers much higher versatility. The current work lays foundations for the investigation of fluoride ion mobility in BaSnF4 and provides insight on the choice of methods for atomistic simulations.

Abstract
Chloride-ion batteries (CIBs) have drawn growing attention in large-scale energy storage applications owing to their comprehensive merits of high theoretical energy density, dendrite-free characteristic, and abundance of chloride-containing materials. Nonetheless, cathodes for CIBs are plagued by distinct volume effect and sluggish Cl- diffusion kinetics, leading to inferior rate capability and short cycling life. Herein, an unconventional Ni5 Ti-Cl LDH is reported with a high nickel ratio as a cathode material for CIB. The reversible capacity of Ni5 Ti-Cl LDH retains 127.9 mAh g-1 over 1000 cycles at a large current density of 1000 mA g-1 , which exceeds that of ever reported CIBs, with extraordinary low volume change of 1.006% during a whole charge/discharge process. Such superior Cl-storage performance is attributed to synergetic contributions consisting of high redox activity from Ni2+ /Ni3+ and pinning Ti that restrains local structural distortion of LDH host layers and enhances adsorption intensity of chloride atoms during the reversible Cl- intercalation/de-intercalation in LDH gallery, which are revealed by a comprehensive study including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, kinetic investigations, and DFT calculations. This work provides an effective strategy to design low-cost LDHs materials for high-performance CIBs, which are also applicable to other types of halide-ion batteries (e.g., fluoride-ion and bromide-ion batteries).

Abstract
The α-molybdenum trioxide has attracted much attention for proton storage owing to its easily modified bilayer structure, fast proton insertion kinetics, and high theoretical specific capacity. However, the fundamental science of the proton insertion mechanism in α-molybdenum trioxide has not been fully understood. Herein, we uncover a three-proton intercalation mechanism in α-molybdenum trioxide using a specially designed phosphoric acid based liquid crystalline electrolyte. The semiconductor-to-metal transition behavior and the expansion of the lattice interlayers of α-molybdenum trioxide after trapping one mole of protons are verified experimentally and theoretically. Further investigation of the morphology of α-molybdenum trioxide indicates its fracture behavior upon the proton intercalation process, which creates diffusion channels for hydronium ions. Notably, the observation of an additional redox behavior at low potential endows α-molybdenum trioxide with an improved specific discharge capacity of 362 mAh g-1.

Abstract
Anions serve as an essential component of electrolytes, whose effects have long been ignored. However, since the 2010s, we have seen a considerable increase of anion chemistry research in a range of energy storage devices, and it is now understood that anions can be well tuned to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of such devices in many aspects. In this Review, we discuss the roles of anion chemistry across various energy storage devices and clarify the correlations between anion properties and their performance indexes. We highlight the effects of anions on surface and interface chemistry, mass transfer kinetics and solvation sheath structure. Finally, we conclude with a perspective on the challenges and opportunities of anion chemistry for enhancing specific capacity, output voltage, cycling stability and anti-self-discharge ability of energy storage devices.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been intensively investigated as promising cathodes for the new concept chloride ion battery (CIB) with multiple advantages of high theoretical energy density, abundant raw materials and unique dendrite-free characteristics. However, driven by the great compositional diversity, a complete understanding of interactions between metal cations, as well as a synergetic effect between metal cations and lattice oxygen on LDH host layers in terms of the reversible Cl-storage capability, is still a crucial but elusive issue. In this work, we synthesized a series of chloride-inserted trinary Mox-doped NiCo2-Cl LDH (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) with gradient oxygen vacancies as enhanced cathodes toward CIBs. The combination of advanced spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations reveals that the Mo dopant facilitates oxygen vacancy formation and varies the valence states of coordinated transition metals, which can not only tune the electronic structure effectively and promote Cl-ion diffusion, but improve the redox activity of LDHs. The optimized Mo0.3NiCo2-Cl LDH delivers a reversible discharge capacity of 159.7 mA h g-1 after 300 cycles at 150 mA g-1, which is almost a triple enhancement compared to that of NiCo2Cl LDH. The superior Cl-storage of trinary Mo0.3NiCo2Cl LDH is attributed to the reversible intercalation/deintercalation of chloride ions in the LDH gallery along with the oxidation state changes in Ni0/Ni2+/Ni3+, Co0/Co2+/Co3+ and Mo4+/Mo6+ couples. This simple vacancy engineering strategy provides critical insights into the significance of the chemical interaction of various components on LDH laminates and aims to effectively design more LDH-based cathodes for CIBs, which can even be extended to other halide-ion batteries like fluoride ion batteries and bromide ion batteries.

Abstract
Chloride ion batteries (CIBs) have drawn growing attention as attractive candidates for large-scale energy storage technology because of their high theoretical energy densities (2500 W h L-1), dendrite-free characteristics and abundance of chloride-containing materials available worldwide. However, the further development of CIBs is greatly limited by sluggish Cl- diffusion and distinct structural variation of cathode materials, resulting in severe decayed capacity and inferior rate performance. Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials possess regular pores/channels and flexible structural designability to accommodate charge carrier ions, but the application of MOFs in anion-type batteries has not been reported. Here, we demonstrate the first example of Ni(dpip) with two different opening sizes of tubular channels serving as the cathode for high performance CIBs. The Ni-based MOF exhibited a stable reversible capacity of 155 mA h g-1 with an admirable low capacity decay of 0.026% per cycle over 500 cycles and superior kinetics with a 10-10 cm2 s-1 average diffusion coefficient for chloride ions as well. The high performance of the Ni(dpip) cathode results from the synergetic redox couples of Ni metal nodes and N-ligands, the unique double-channel structure for reversible Cl-storage, and the low chloride diffusion energy barrier. This work switches on the new application of MOF-based materials as cathodes for CIBs.

Abstract
The intercalating of anions into cost-effective graphite electrode provides a high operating voltage, therefore, the dual-ion batteries (DIBs) as novel energy storage device has attracted much attention recently. The "graphene in graphite" has always existed in the graphite cathode of DIBs, but has rarely been researched. It is foreseeable that the graphene blisters with the intact lattice structure in the shell can utilize its ultra-high elastic stiffness and reversible lattice expansion for increasing the storage capacity of anions in the batteries. This review proposes an expected "blister model" by introducing the high elasticity of graphene blisters and its possible formation mechanism. The unique blisters composed of multilayer graphene that do not fall off on the graphite surface may become indispensable in nanotechnology in the future development of cathode materials for DIBs.

Abstract
Fast and continuous ion insertion is blocked in the common electrodes operating with widely accepted single-ion storage mechanism, primarily due to Coulomb repulsion between the same ions. It results in an irreconcilable conflict between capacity and rate performance. Herein, we designed a porous organic framework with novel multiple-ion co-storage modes, including PF6 - /Li+ , OTF- /Mg2+ , and OTF- /Zn2+ co-storage. The Coulomb interactions between cationic and anionic carriers in the framework can significantly promote electrode kinetics, by rejuvenating fast ion carrier migration toward framework interior. Consequently, the framework via PF6 - /Li+ co-storage mode shows a high energy density of 878 Wh kg-1 cycled more than 20 000 cycles, with an excellent power density of 28 kW kg-1 that is already comparable to commercial supercapacitors. The both greatly improved energy and power densities via the co-storage mode may pave a way for exploring new electrodes that are not available from common single-ion electrodes.

Abstract
Iodine has great potential in the energy storage, but high solubility of I3 - has seriously delayed its promotion. Benefited from abundant active sites and the open channel, two-dimensional coordination supramolecular networks (2D CSNs) is considered to be a candidate for the energy storage. Herein, a 2D porphyrin-CSN cathode named Zn-TCPP for aqueous iodine dual-ion battery (DIB) shows an excellent specific capacity of 278 mAh g-1 , and a high energy density of 340 Wh kg-1 at 5 A g-1 , as well as a durable cycle performance of 5000 cycles and a high Coulombic efficiency of 98 %. Molecular orbital theory, UV/VIS, Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal charge-transfer interaction between the donor of porphyrin nitrogen and the acceptor of I3 - , and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations demonstrate the contribution of 2D layered network structure of Zn-TCPP to the penetration of I3 - .

Abstract
Rechargeable halide-ion batteries (HIBs) are good candidates for large-scale due to their appealing energy density, low cost, and dendrite-free features. However, state-of-the-art electrolytes limit the HIBs' performance and cycle life. Here, via experimental measurements and modelling approach, we demonstrate that the dissolutions in the electrolyte of transition metal and elemental halogen from the positive electrode and discharge products from the negative electrode cause the HIBs failure. To circumvent these issues, we propose the combination of fluorinated low-polarity solvents with a gelation treatment to prevent dissolutions at the interphase, thus, improving the HIBs' performance. Using this approach, we develop a quasi-solid-state Cl-ion-conducting gel polymer electrolyte. This electrolyte is tested in a single-layer pouch cell configuration with an iron oxychloride-based positive electrode and a lithium metal negative electrode at 25 °C and 125 mA g-1. The pouch delivers an initial discharge capacity of 210 mAh g-1 and a discharge capacity retention of almost 80% after 100 cycles. We also report assembly and testing of fluoride-ion and bromide-ion cells using quasi-solid-state halide-ion-conducting gel polymer electrolyte.

Abstract
Chloride-ion batteries (CIBs) have been regarded as a promising alternative battery technology to lithium-ion batteries because of their abundant resources, high theoretical volumetric energy density, and high safety. However, the research on chloride-ion batteries is still in its infancy. Exploring appropriate cathode materials with desirable electrochemical performance is in high demand for CIBs. Herein, the FeOCl nanocrystal embedded in a mesocellular carbon foam (MCF) has been prepared and developed as a high-performance cathode material for CIBs. The MCF with uniform and large mesocells (15.7-31.2 nm) interconnected through uniform windows (15.2-21.5 nm) can provide high-speed pathways for electron and chloride-ion transport and accommodate the strain caused by the volume change of FeOCl during cycling. As a result, the optimized FeOCl@MCF cathode exhibits the highest discharge capacity of 235 mAh g-1 (94% of the theoretical capacity) among those of the previously reported metal (oxy)chloride cathodes for CIBs. A reversible capacity of 140 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles is retained. In contrast, only 18 mAh g-1 was kept for the FeOCl cathode.

Abstract
Multivalent batteries show promising prospects for next-generation sustainable energy storage applications. Herein, we report a polytriphenylamine (PTPAn) composite cathode capable of highly reversible storage of tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy) borate [B(hfip)4 ] anions in both Magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) battery systems. Spectroscopic and computational studies reveal the redox reaction mechanism of the PTPAn cathode material. The Mg and Ca cells exhibit a cell voltage >3 V, a high-power density of ∼∼3000 W kg-1 and a high-energy density of ∼∼300 Wh kg-1 , respectively. Moreover, the combination of the PTPAn cathode with a calcium-tin (Ca-Sn) alloy anode could enable a long battery-life of 3000 cycles with a capacity retention of 60 %. The anion storage chemistry associated with dual-ion electrochemical concept demonstrates a new feasible pathway towards high-performance divalent ion 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
Advanced cathode materials play an important role in promoting aqueous battery technology for safe energy storage. Transition metal double hydroxides are usually elusive as a stable cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their unstable crystal structure, sluggish ion transportation, and insufficient active sites for zinc-ion storage. Here, a trinary layered double hydroxide (LDH) with hydrogen vacancies (Ni3 Mn0.7 Fe0.3 -LDH) is reported as a new cathode material for AZIBs. A reversible high capacity up to 328 mAh g-1 can be obtained and cycle stably over 500 cycles with a capacity retention of 85%. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the hydrogen vacancies in LDH can expose lattice oxygen atoms as active sites for zinc-ion storage and accelerate ion diffusion by reducing the electrostatic interactions between zinc ions and the host structure. In addition, the synergy of the trinary transitional metal cations can suppress the Jahn-Teller distortion of manganese (III) oxide octahedron and enable long cycle stability. This work provides not only a series of high-performance cathode materials for AZIBs but also a novel materials design strategy that can be extended to other multi-valence metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
The development of high-performance carbon-based anode materials is still a significant challenge for K-ion storage. In our work, we designed reduced graphene oxide coating carbon sub-microspheres hierarchical nanostructure (CS@RGO) hierarchical nanostructure via a simple freeze-drying and subsequent pyrolysis as anode for K-ion batteries (KIBs), which presented an excellent electrochemical performance for K-ion storage, with a reversible specific capacity of 295 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 100 mAh g-1. Even at a high current density of 1 A g-1, our CS@RGO still achieves ultra-stable K-ion storage of 200 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 5000 cycles almost without capacity fade. According to the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique result, the CS@RGO hybrid receives a high average diffusion coefficient of 7.35 × 10-8 cm2 s-1, contributing to the rapid penetration of K-ion, which facilitates the enhancement of electrochemical performance for KIBs. Besides, we also use Raman spectra to investigate the electrochemical behavior of our CS@RGO hybrid for K-ion storage and confirm the reaction process. We believe that our work will offer the opportunity to enable ultra-stable carbon-based materials by the structure design in the K-ion battery field.

Abstract
The anode-free battery concept is proposed to pursue the aspiration of energy-dense, rechargeable metal batteries, but this has not been achieved with dual-ion batteries. Herein, the first anode-free Zn-graphite battery enabled by efficient Zn plating-stripping onto a silver-coated Cu substrate is demonstrated. The silver coating guides uniform Zn deposition without dendrite formation or side reaction over a wide range of electrolyte concentrations, enabling the construction of anode-free Zn cells. In addition, the graphite cathode operates efficiently under reversible bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (TFSI- ) intercalation without anodic corrosion. An extra high-potential TFSI- intercalation plateau is recognized at 2.75 V, contributing to the high capacity of graphite cathode. Thanks to efficient Zn plating-stripping and TFSI- intercalation-deintercalation, an anode-free Zn-graphite dual-ion battery that exhibits impressive cycling stability with 82% capacity retention after 1000 cycles is constructed. At the same time, a specific energy of 79 Wh kg-1 based on the mass of cathode and electrolyte is achieved, which is over two times higher than conventional Zn-graphite batteries (<30 Wh kg-1 ).

Abstract
A fluoride-ion battery (FIB) is a novel type of energy storage system that has a higher volumetric energy density and low cost. However, the high working temperature (>150 °C) and unsatisfactory cycling performance of cathode materials are not favorable for their practical application. Herein, fluoride ion-intercalated CoFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) (CoFe-F LDH) was prepared by a facile co-precipitation approach combined with ion-exchange. The CoFe-F LDH shows a reversible capacity of ∼50 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at room temperature. Although there is still a big gap between FIBs and lithium-ion batteries, the CoFe-F LDH is superior to most cathode materials for FIBs. Another important advantage of CoFe-F LDH FIBs is that they can work at room temperature, which has been rarely achieved in previous reports. The superior performance stems from the unique topochemical transformation property and small volume change (∼0.82%) of LDH in electrochemical cycles. Such a tiny volume change makes LDH a zero-strain cathode material for FIBs. The 2D diffusion pathways and weak interaction between fluoride ions and host layers facilitate the de/intercalation of fluoride ions, accompanied by the chemical state changes of Co2+/Co3+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ couples. First-principles calculations also reveal a low F- diffusion barrier during the cyclic process. These findings expand the application field of LDH materials and propose a novel avenue for the designs of cathode materials toward room-temperature FIBs.
