Abstract
The inherent limitations of lithium (Li)-ion batteries have sparked interest in exploring alternative technologies, especially those relying on metallic anodes: monovalent Li and divalent zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), and calcium (Ca) metals. In particular, Mg and Ca metal batteries offer significant advantages based on the natural abundance of their raw materials and high energy-storage capabilities resulting from the bivalency of the carrier ions. Yet, these battery systems are far from commercialization, and the lack of reliable electrolytes constitutes a primary concern. The formation of ion-insulating passivation layers on these metallic anodes and their inferior desolvation kinetics have long been recognized as formidable hurdles in the way of optimizing the electrolyte composition. These impediments call for innovative strategies in electrolyte engineering and an extensive analysis of the resulting solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) layer. In this review, we introduce recent pioneering studies of divalent Mg and Ca metal batteries that have been concerned with these issues. This review particularly focuses on drawing an analogy with Li and Zn metal batteries in terms of the relative advancement and by benchmarking against the strategies developed for these analogous systems. The areas of interest include a fundamental understanding of the thermodynamics and evolution of the morphology of metallic anodes, a correlation between the electrolyte and SEI compositions, state-of-the-art electrolyte strategies to realize reversible (de)plating of Mg and Ca, and new perspectives on the SEI properties and their relevance to corrosion and the calendar life. We finally encourage researchers in the community to delve into these emerging areas by linking with successful stories in the analogous systems, but identifying distinct aspects of Mg and Ca batteries that still require attention.

Abstract
Non-aqueous electrolytes, generally consisting of metal salts and solvating media, are indispensable elements for building rechargeable batteries. As the major sources of ionic charges, the intrinsic characters of salt anions are of particular importance in determining the fundamental properties of bulk electrolyte, as well as the features of the resulting electrode-electrolyte interphases/interfaces. To cope with the increasing demand for better rechargeable batteries requested by emerging application domains, the structural design and modifications of salt anions are highly desired. Here, salt anions for lithium and other monovalent (e.g., sodium and potassium) and multivalent (e.g., magnesium, calcium, zinc, and aluminum) rechargeable batteries are outlined. Fundamental considerations on the design of salt anions are provided, particularly involving specific requirements imposed by different cell chemistries. Historical evolution and possible synthetic methodologies for metal salts with representative salt anions are reviewed. Recent advances in tailoring the anionic structures for rechargeable batteries are scrutinized, and due attention is paid to the paradigm shift from liquid to solid electrolytes, from intercalation to conversion/alloying-type electrodes, from lithium to other kinds of rechargeable batteries. The remaining challenges and key research directions in the development of robust salt anions are also discussed.

Abstract
Among the challenges related to rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) still not resolved are positive electrode materials with sufficient charge storage and rate capability as well as stability and raw material resources. Out of the materials proposed and studied so far, vanadium oxides stand out for these requirements, but significant further improvements are expected and required. They will be based on new materials and an improved understanding of their mode of operation. This report provides a critical review focused on this material, which is embedded in a brief overview on the general subject. It starts with the main strategic ways to design layered vanadium oxides cathodes for RMBs. Taking these examples in more detail, the typical issues and challenges often missed in broader overviews and reviews are discussed. In particular, issues related to the electrochemistry of intercalation processes in layered vanadium oxides; advantageous strategies for the development of vanadium oxide composite cathodes; their mechanism in aqueous, "wet", and dry non-aqueous aprotic systems; and the possibility of co-intercalation processes involving protons and magnesium ions are considered. The perspectives for future development of vanadium oxide-based cathode materials are finally discussed and summarized.

Abstract
Cathode materials with conversion mechanisms for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have shown a great potential as next-generation energy storage materials due to their high discharge capacity and high energy density. However, improving their cycling stability has been the biggest challenge plaguing researchers. In this study, CuO microspheres were prepared using a simple hydrothermal reaction, and the morphology and crystallinity of the samples were modulated by controlling the hydrothermal reaction time. The as-synthesized materials were used as cathode materials for AZIBs. The electrochemical experiments showed that the CuO-4h sample, undergoing a hydrothermal reaction for 4 h, had the longest lifecycle and the best rate of capability. A discharge capacity of 131.7 mAh g-1 was still available after 700 cycles at a current density of 500 mA g-1. At a high current density of 1.5 A g-1, the maintained capacity of the cell is 85.4 mA h g-1. The structural evolutions and valence changes in the CuO-4h cathode material were carefully explored by using ex situ XRD and ex situ XPS. CuO was reduced to Cu2O and Cu after the initial discharge, and Cu was oxidized to Cu2O instead of CuO during subsequent charging processes. We believe that these findings could introduce a novel approach to exploring high-performance cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Magnesium metal batteries (MMBs) currently face challenges suffering from severe Mg metal passivation and extremely high overpotential in conventional electrolytes. Herein, a strategy of using a low-cost deep eutectic solution (DES) is proposed to modify Mg anode with the monolithic and compact coating of a MgCl2-Al-MgCl2 sandwich structure, enabling the stable and reversible Mg plating-stripping behavior. An organic/nanocrystal hybrid interphase is in-situ built through a facile Mg-Al displacement reaction between aluminum-chloro clusters and Mg in AlCl3/Et3NHCl solution, and it can effectively minimize the adverse interfacial passivation reaction and surface diffusion barrier, affording the high ion-conduction and electronic insulation. This DES-assisted method guarantees a highly reversible cycling of Mg metal anode (over 5000 h at 0.1 mA cm-2 and 400 h at 2.0 mAh cm-2) in Mg(TFSI)2/DME electrolyte with the improved interfacial kinetics and low overpotential. Even at a much higher current density of 1 mA cm-2, the overpotential only undergoes a slight increase from 0.2 V (at 0.1 mA cm-2) to 0.23 V. The corresponding full cells with CuS and phenanthraquinone cathodes deliver satisfactory cyclic performance. The DES modification strategy provides a new solution to the design of robust and conductive solid electrolyte interphase for achieving high-voltage and durable MMBs.

Abstract
In the search for next-generation green energy storage solutions, Cu-S electrochemistry has recently gained attraction from the battery community owing to its affordability and exceptionally high specific capacity of 3350 mAh gs -1. However, the inferior conductivity and substantial volume expansion of the S cathode hinder its cycling stability, while the low output voltage limits its energy density. Herein, a hollow carbon sphere (HCS) is synthesized as a 3D conductive host to achieve a stable S@HCS cathode, which enables an outstanding cycling performance of 2500 cycles (over 9 months). To address the latter, a Zn//S@HCS alkaline-acid decoupled cell is configured to increase the output voltage from 0.18 to 1.6 V. Moreover, an electrode and electrolyte co-energy storage mechanism is proposed to offset the reduction in energy density resulting from the extra electrolyte required in Zn//S decoupled cells. When combined, the Zn//S@HCS alkaline-acid decoupled cell delivers a record energy density of 334 Wh kg-1 based on the mass of the S cathode and CuSO4 electrolyte. This work tackles the key challenges of Cu-S electrochemistry and brings new insights into the rational design of decoupled batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous aluminum ion batteries (AAIBs) possess the advantages of high safety, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness and high theoretical capacity. However, the Al2O3 film on the Al anode surface, a natural physical barrier to the plating of hydrated aluminum ions, is a key factor in the decomposition of the aqueous electrolyte and the severe hydrogen precipitation reaction. To circumvent the obnoxious Al anode, a proof-of-concept of an anode-free AAIB is first proposed, in which Al2TiO5, as a cathode pre-aluminum additive (Al source), can replenish Al loss by over cycling. The Al-Cu alloy layer, formed by plating Al on the Cu foil surface during the charge process, possesses a reversible electrochemical property and is paired with a polyaniline (cathode) to stimulate the battery to exhibit high initial discharge capacity (175 mAh g-1), high power density (≈410 Wh L-1) and ultra-long cycle life (4000 cycles) with the capacity retention of ≈60% after 1000 cycles. This work will act as a primer to ignite the enormous prospective researches on the anode-free aqueous Al ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-air batteries (LABs) are considered one of the most promising energy storage devices because of their large theoretical energy density. However, low cyclability caused by battery degradation prevents its practical use. Thus, to realize practical LABs, it is essential to improve cyclability significantly by understanding how the degradation processes proceed. Here, we used online mass spectrometry for real-time monitoring of gaseous products generated during charging of lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), which was operated with pure oxygen not air, with 1 M lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) electrolyte solution. Linear voltage sweep (LVS) and voltage step modes were employed for charge instead of constant current charge so that the energetics of the product formation during the charge process can be understood more quantitatively. The presence of two distinctly different types of Li2O2, one being decomposed in a wide range of relatively low cell voltages (2.8-4.16 V) (l-Li2O2) and the other being decomposed at higher cell voltages than ca. 4.16 V (h-Li2O2), was confirmed by both LVS and step experiments. H2O generation started when the O2 generation rate reached a first maximum and CO2 generation took place accompanied by the decomposition of h-Li2O2. Based on the above results and the effects of discharge time and the use of isotope oxygen during discharge on product distribution during charge, the generation mechanism of O2, H2O, and CO2 during charging is discussed in relation to the reactions during discharge.

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
Seeking organic cathode materials with low cost and long cycle life that can be employed for large-scale energy storage remains a significant challenge. This work has synthesized an organic compound, triphenazino[2,3-b](1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene) (TPHATP), with as high as 87.16% yield. This compound has a highly π-conjugated and rigid molecular structure, which is synthesized by capping hexaketocyclohexane with three molecules of 2,3-diaminophenazine derived from low-cost o-phenylenediamine, and is used as a cathode material for assembling aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries. Both experiments and DFT calculations demonstrate that the redox mechanism of TPHATP is predominantly governed by H+ storage. The Zn-intercalation product of nitride-type compound, is too unstable to form in water. Moreover, the TPHATP cathode exhibits a capacity of as high as 318.3 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, and maintained a stable capacity of 111.9 mAh g-1 at a large current density of 10 A g-1 for 5000 cycles with only a decay of 0.000512% per cycle. This study provides new insights into understanding pyrazine as an active redox group and offers a potential affordable aqueous battery system for grid-scale energy storage.

Abstract
H+ co-intercalation chemistry of the cathode is perceived to have damaging consequences on the low-rate and long-term cycling of aqueous zinc batteries, which is a critical hindrance to their promise for stationary storage applications. Herein, the thermodynamically competitive H+ storage chemistry of an attractive high-voltage cathode LiMn2O4 is revealed by employing operando and ex-situ analytical techniques together with density functional theory-based calculations. The H+ electrochemistry leads to the previously unforeseen voltage decay with cycling, impacting the available energy density, particularly at lower currents. Based on an in-depth investigation of the effect of the Li+ to Zn2+ ratio in the electrolyte on the charge storage mechanism, a purely aqueous and low-salt concentration electrolyte with a tuned Li+/Zn2+ ratio is introduced to subdue the H+-mediated charge storage kinetically, resulting in a stable voltage output and improved cycling stability at both low and high cathode loadings. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that repeated H+ intercalation triggers an irreversible phase transformation leading to voltage decay, which is averted by shutting down H+ storage. These findings unveiling the origin and impact of the deleterious H+-storage, coupled with the practical strategy for its inhibition, will inspire further work toward this under-explored realm of aqueous battery chemistry.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are rapidly emerging as safe, cost-effective, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly energy storage systems. However, mildly acidic electrolytes with depleted protons cannot satisfy the huge demand for proton reactions in MnO2 electrodes and also cause several issues in ZIBs, such as rapidly decaying cycling stability and low reaction kinetics. Herein, we propose a pH-buffering strategy in which KH2PO4 is added to the electrolyte to overcome the problems caused by low proton concentrations. This strategy significantly improves the rate and cycle stability performance of zinc-manganese batteries, delivering a high capacity of 122.5 mAh/g at a high current density of 5 A/g and enabling 9000 cycles at this current density, with a remaining capacity of 70 mAh/g. Ex-situ X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses confirmed the generation/dissolution of Zn3PO4·4H2O and Zn4(OH)6(SO4)·5H2O, byproducts of buffer products and proton reactions. In-situ pH measurements and chemical titration revealed that the pH change during the electrochemical process can be adjusted to a low range of 2.2-2.8, and the phosphate distribution varies with the pH range. Those results reveal that H2PO4- provides protons to the cathode through the chemical balance of HPO42-, HPO42-, and Zn3PO4·4H2O. This study serves as a guide for studying the influences and mechanisms of buffering additives in Zn-MnO2 batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries possess desirable characteristics in large-scale energy storage applications. However, severe polarization, sluggish kinetics and structural instability caused by high charge density Mg2+ hinder the development of high-performance cathode materials. Herein, the anionic redox chemistry in VS4 is successfully activated by inducing cations reduction and introducing anionic vacancies via polyacrylonitrile (PAN) intercalation. Increased interlayer spacing and structural vacancies can promote the electrolyte ions migration and accelerate the reaction kinetics. Thanks to this "three birds with one stone" strategy, PAN intercalated VS4 exhibits an outstanding electrochemical performance: high discharge specific capacity of 187.2 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 after stabilization and a long lifespan of 5000 cycles at 2 A g-1 are achieved, outperforming other reported VS4-based materials to date for magnesium storage under the APC electrolyte. Theoretical calculations confirm that the intercalated PAN can indeed induce cations reduction and generate anionic vacancies by promoting electron transfer, which can accelerate the electrochemical reaction kinetics and activate the anionic redox chemistry, thus improving the magnesium storage performance. This approach of organic molecular intercalation represents a promising guideline for electrode material design on the development of advanced multivalent-ion batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) hold significant promise as an alternative to conventional lithium-ion technology driven by their natural abundance and low-cost, high-energy density, and safety features. Spinel oxides, including MgCrVO4, have emerged as a prospective cathode material for MIBs due to their promising combination of capacity, operating potential, and cation mobility. However, the structural evolution, phase stability, and processes of Mg mobility in MgCrVO4 during electrochemical cycling are poorly understood. In this study, we synthesized a single-phase, solid solution of spinel oxide MgCrVO4 and employed operando X-ray diffraction to couple physical properties with structural changes during cycling. Our results revealed a two-phase reaction mechanism coupled with a solid-solution-like reaction, highlighting the complicated transformation between two distinct phases in the MgCrVO4 lattice during Mg (de)intercalation. Rietveld refinement of the operando data provided valuable insights into the mechanism of the Cr/V-based spinel oxide, shedding light on the transition between the two phases and their roles in Mg-ion (de)intercalation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the structural dynamics in multivalent cathode materials and sets the stage for the development of advanced Mg-ion cathodes with enhanced performance and stability.

Abstract
Energy is undeniably one of the most fundamental requirements of the current generation. Solar and wind energy are sustainable and renewable energy sources; however, their unpredictability points to the development of energy storage systems (ESSs). There has been a substantial increase in the use of batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), as ESSs. However, low rate capability and degradation due to electric load in long-range electric vehicles are pushing LIBs to their limits. As alternative ESSs, magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) possess promising properties and advantages. Cathode materials play a crucial role in MIBs. In this regard, a variety of cathode materials, including Mn-based, Se-based, vanadium- and vanadium oxide-based, S-based, and Mg2+-containing cathodes, have been investigated by experimental and theoretical techniques. Results reveal that the discharge capacity, capacity retention, and cycle life of cathode materials need improvement. Nevertheless, maintaining the long-term stability of the electrode-electrolyte interface during high-voltage operation continues to be a hurdle in the execution of MIBs, despite the continuous research in this field. The current Review mainly focuses on the most recent nanostructured-design cathode materials in an attempt to draw attention to MIBs and promote the investigation of suitable cathode materials for this promising energy storage device.

Abstract
ConspectusReversible Mg2+ intercalation in metal oxide frameworks is a key enabler for an operational Mg-ion battery with high energy density needed for the next generation of energy storage technologies. While functional Mg-ion batteries have been achieved in structures with soft anions (e.g., S2- and Se2-), they do not meet energy density requirements to compete with the current rechargeable lithium-ion batteries due to their low insertion potentials. It emphasizes the necessity of finding an oxide-based cathode that operates at high potentials. A leading hypothesis to explain the limited availability of oxide Mg-ion cathodes is the belief that Mg2+ has sluggish diffusion kinetics in oxides due to strong electrostatic interactions between the Mg2+ ions and oxide anions in the lattice. From this assessment, it can be hypothesized that such rate limiting kinetic shortcomings can be mitigated by tailoring an oxide framework through creating less stable Mg2+-O2- coordination.Based on theoretical calculations and preliminary experimental data, oxide spinels have been identified as promising cathode candidates with storage capacity, insertion potential, and cation mobility that meet the requirements for a secondary Mg-ion battery. However, spinels with a single redox metal, such as MgCr2O4 or MgMn2O4, were not found to demonstrate sufficiently reversible Mg-ion intercalation at high redox potentials when coupled with nonaqueous Mg-electrolytes. Therefore, a materials development effort was initiated to design, synthesize, and evaluate a new class of solid-solution oxide spinels that can satisfy the required properties needed to create a sustainable Mg-ion cathode. These were designed by bringing together electrochemically active metals with stable redox potentials and charged states against the electrolyte, for instance, Mn3+, in combination with a structural stabilization component, typically Cr3+. Furthermore, common spinel structural defects that degrade performance, i.e., antisite inversion, were controlled to see correlation between structures and electrochemical overpotentials, thus controlling overall hysteresis. The designed materials were characterized by both short- and long-range structure in both ex situ and in situ modes to confirm the nature of solid-solution and to correlate structural changes and redox activity to electrochemical performance. Consistent and reproducible results were observed for facile bulk Mg2+-ion activity without phase transformations, leading to enhanced energy storage capability based on reversible intercalation of Mg2+, enabled by understanding the variables that control the electrochemical performance of the spinel oxide. Based on these observations, with proper materials design, it is possible to develop an oxide cathode material that has many of the desired properties of a Li-ion intercalation cathode, representing a significant mile marker in the quest for high energy density Mg-ion batteries.This Account describes strategies for the design and development of new spinel oxide intercalation materials for high-energy Mg-ion battery cathodes through a combination of theoretical and experimental approaches. We will review the key factors that govern the kinetics of Mg2+ diffusion in spinel oxides and illustrate how material complexity correlates with the electrochemical Mg2+ activity in oxides and is supported by secondary characterization. The understanding gained from the fundamental studies of cation diffusion in oxide cathodes will be beneficial for chemists and materials scientists who are developing rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
The fast growth of electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems necessitates using innovative, high-performance electrode materials. Among the various EES devices, rechargeable batteries (RBs) with potential features like high energy density and extensive lifetime are well suited to meet rapidly increasing energy demands. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), typical two dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, are considered auspicious materials for RBs because of their layered structures and large specific surface areas (SSA) that benefit quick ion transportation. This review summarizes and highlights recent advances in TMDs with improved performance for various RBs. Through novel engineering and functionalization used for high-performance RBs, we briefly discuss the properties, characterizations, and electrochemistry phenomena of TMDs. We summarised that engineering with multiple techniques, like nanocomposites used for TMDs receives special attention. In conclusion, the recent issues and promising upcoming research openings for developing TMDs-based electrodes for RBs are discussed.

Abstract
The development of structurally stable, highly conductive layered materials as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is essential. Herein, polyaniline (PANI) was inserted into the interlayer of a vanadium-metal-organic framework-derived V2O5 to take advantage of the selective growth of the (110) crystal plane of V2O5, facilitating sufficient diffusion of aniline within the V2O5 interlayer along the vertical direction of the spatial c-axis while stabilizing the interlayer structure. The synthesized composite (PANI80-V2O5) exhibited excellent electrochemical properties owing to the increase in the material layer spacing from 5.76 Å to 14.31 Å and the strong synergistic effect of the oxygen vacancies and large specific surface area of the material. In addition, the π-conjugated structure of PANI prevented the active material from dissolving in the electrolyte, further stabilizing its lamellar structure, which tended to collapse during electrochemical cycling. The PANI80-V2O5 electrode exhibited an ultrahigh discharge capacity of 516.90 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1. Moreover, it exhibited a discharge capacity of 268.80 mAh g-1 at a current density of 10 A g-1 and a capacity retention rate of 97.77% after 3000 cycles. Therefore, this study provided a reference for developing structurally superior cathode materials for AZIBs.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2), as a cathode material for multivalent ion (such as Mg2+ and Al3+) storage, is investigated due to its high initial capacity. However, during multivalent ion insertion/extraction, the crystal structure of MnO2 partially collapses, leading to fast capacity decay in few charge/discharge cycles. Here, through pre-intercalating potassium-ion (K+) into δ-MnO2, we synthesize a potassium ion pre-intercalated MnO2, K0.21MnO2·0.31H2O (KMO), as a reliable cathode material for multivalent ion batteries. The as-prepared KMO exhibits a high reversible capacity of 185 mAh/g at 1 A/g, with considerable rate performance and improved cycling stability in 1 mol/L MgSO4 electrolyte. In addition, we observe that aluminum-ion (Al3+) can also insert into a KMO cathode. This work provides a valid method for modification of manganese-based oxides for aqueous multivalent ion batteries.

Abstract
The strong electrostatic interaction between high-charge-density zinc ions (112 C mm-3 ) and the fixed crystallinity of traditional oxide cathodes with delayed charge compensation hinders the development of high-performance aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, to intrinsically promote electron transfer efficiency and improve lattice tolerance, a revolutionary family of high-entropy oxides (HEOs) materials with multipath electron transfer and remarkable structural stability as cathodes for AZIBs is proposed. Benefiting from the unique "cock-tail" effect, the interaction of diverse type metal-atoms in HEOs achieves essentially broadened d-band and lower degeneracy than monometallic oxides, which contribute to convenient electron transfer and one of the best rate-performances (136.2 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 ) in AZIBs. In addition, the intense lattice strain field of HEOs is highly tolerant to the electrostatic repulsion of high-charge-density Zn2+ , leading to the outstanding cycling stability in AZIBs. Moreover, the super selectability of elements in HEOs exhibits significant potential for AZIBs.

Abstract
Magnesium batteries have emerged as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to their theoretical high energy density and abundant magnesium resources. Vanadium dioxide, VO2 (B), has been reported as a high-capacity cathode material for magnesium batteries. However, the electrochemical intercalation mechanism requires further elucidation due to a limited understanding of the structure-property relationship. In this study, we re-evaluated the magnesium storage capability of the material, with a particular focus on the influence of water content in nonaqueous electrolytes. The higher discharge capacity of 250 mAh g-1 is achieved exclusively in the wet electrolyte with 650 ppm water content. A significantly lower capacity of 51 mAh g-1 was observed in the dry electrolyte solution containing 40 ppm water content. Through X-ray structural and elemental analyses, as well as magnesium-ion diffusion pathway analysis using bond-valence-energy-landscape calculations, the restricted capacity was clarified by examining the reaction mechanism. According to this study, the impressive capacity of magnesium-ion battery cathodes may be exaggerated due to the involvement of non-magnesium-ion insertion unless the electrolytes' water content is appropriately regulated.

Abstract
Electrochemical cells that incorporate aluminum (Al) as the active material have become increasingly popular due to the advantages of high energy density, cost-effectiveness, and superior safety features. Despite the progress made by research groups in developing rechargeable Al//MxOy (M = Mn, V, etc.) cells using an aqueous Al trifluoromethanesulfonate-based electrolyte, the reactions occurring at the Al anode are still not fully understood. In this study, we explore the artificial solid electrolyte interphase (ASEI) on the Al anode by soaking it in AlCl3/urea ionic liquid. Surprisingly, our findings reveal that the ASEI actually promotes the corrosion of Al by providing chloride anions rather than facilitating the transport of Al3+ ions during charge/discharge cycles. Importantly, the ASEI significantly enhances the cycling stability and activity of Al cells. The primary reactions occurring at the Al anode during the charge/discharge cycle were determined to be irreversible oxidation and gas evolution. Furthermore, we demonstrate the successful realization of urea-treated Al (UTAl)//AlxMnO2 cells (discharge operating voltage of ∼1.45 V and specific capacity of 280 mAh/g), providing a platform to investigate the underlying mechanisms of these cells further. Overall, our work highlights the importance of ASEI in controlling the corrosion of Al in aqueous electrolytes, emphasizing the need for the further development of electrolytic materials that facilitate the transport of Al3+ ions in rechargeable Al batteries.

Abstract
The dependence on lithium for the energy needs of the world, coupled with its scarcity, has prompted the exploration of postlithium alternatives. Calcium-ion batteries are one such possible alternative owing to their high energy density, similar reduction potential, and naturally higher abundance. A critical gap in calcium-ion batteries is the lack of suitable cathodes for intercalating calcium at high voltages and capacities while also maintaining structural stability. Transition metal oxide postspinels have been identified as having crystal structures that can provide low migration barriers, high voltages, and facile transport pathways for calcium ions and thus can serve as cathodes for calcium-ion batteries. However, experimental validation of transition metal oxide postspinel compounds for calcium ion conduction remains unexplored. In this work, calcium manganese oxide (CaMn2O4) in the postspinel phase is explored as an intercalation cathode for calcium-ion batteries. CaMn2O4 is first synthesized via solid-state synthesis, and the phase is verified with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The redox activity of the cathode is investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic (GS) cycling, identifying oxidation potentials at 0.2 and 0.5 V and a broad insertion potential at -1.5 V. CaMn2O4 can cycle at a capacity of 52 mAh/g at a rate of C/33, and calcium cycling is verified with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and modeled with density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The results from the investigation concluded that CaMn2O4 is a promising cathode for calcium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The structure of a Na4Sn2Ge5O16 phase was established via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Unusually large displacement parameters of Na atoms suggested the possibility of Na+ ionic conductivity. To create Na deficiencies and thus increase the Na+ mobility in Na4Sn2Ge5O16, Sn4+ cations were partially substituted with Sb5+. A series of Na4-xSn2-xSbxGe5O16 samples (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, or 0.35) were prepared by solid-state reactions and characterized with electrical impedance spectroscopy in the range of 25-200 °C. The highest ionic conductivity value was achieved in the Na3.8Sn1.8Sb0.2Ge5O16 sample (1.6 mS cm-1 at 200 °C). Na+ migration pathways were calculated using the bond-valence energy landscape approach, and two-dimensional conductivity channels with low energy barriers (≈0.4 eV) were found in the structure. Three-dimensional conductivity can also be achieved in the structure; however, it has a much higher energy barrier. The pristine phase and Na3.8Sn1.8Sb0.2Ge5O16 sample were studied via 23Na and 119Sn solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. A faster exchange between the Na sites was observed in the doped sample.

Abstract
Multivalent metal batteries (MMBs) have been considered potentially high-energy and low-cost alternatives to commercial Li-ion batteries, thus attracting tremendous research interest for energy-storage applications. However, the plating and stripping of multivalent metals (i.e., Zn, Ca, Mg) suffer from low Coulombic efficiencies and short cycle life, which are largely rooted in the unstable solid electrolyte interphase. Apart from exploring new electrolytes or artificial layers for robust interphases, fundamental works on deciphering interfacial chemistry have also been conducted. This work is dedicated to summarizing the state-of-the-art advances in understanding the interphases for multivalent metal anodes revealed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods. Operando and cryogenic TEM with high spatial and temporal resolutions realize the dynamic visualization of the vulnerable chemical structures in interphase layers. Following a scrutinization of the interphases on different metal anodes, we elucidate their features for appealing multivalent metal anodes. Finally, perspectives are proposed for the remaining issues on analyzing and regulating interphases for practical MMBs.

Abstract
Organic small molecules as high-capacity cathodes for Zn-organic batteries have inspired numerous interests, but are trapped by their easy-dissolution in electrolytes. Here we knit ultrastable lock-and-key hydrogen-bonding networks between 2, 7-dinitropyrene-4, 5, 9, 10-tetraone (DNPT) and NH4 + charge carrier. DNPT with octuple-active carbonyl/nitro centers (H-bond acceptor) are redox-exclusively accessible for flexible tetrahedral NH4 + ions (H-bond donator) but exclude larger and rigid Zn2+ , due to a lower activation energy (0.14 vs. 0.31 eV). NH4 + coordinated H-bonding chemistry conquers the stability barrier of DNPT in electrolyte, and gives fast diffusion kinetics of non-metallic charge carrier. A stable two-step 4e- NH4 + coordination with DNPT cathode harvests a high capacity (320 mAh g-1 ), a high-rate capability (50 A g-1 ) and an ultralong life (60,000 cycles). This finding points to a new paradigm for H-bond stabilized organic small molecules to design advanced zinc batteries.

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
Rechargeable multivalent-ion batteries are of significant interest due to the high specific capacities and earth abundance of their metal anodes, though few cathode materials permit multivalent ions to electrochemically intercalate within them. The crystalline chevrel phases are among the few cathode materials known to reversibly intercalate multivalent cations. However, to date, no multivalent-ion intercalation electrodes can match their reversibility and stability, in part due to the lack of design rules that guide how ion intercalation and electron charge transfer are coupled up from the atomic scale. Here, we elucidate the electronic charge storage mechanism that occurs in chevrel phase (Mo6Se8, Mo6S8) electrodes upon the electrochemical intercalation of multivalent cations (Al3+, Zn2+), using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray absorption near edge structure measurements, operando synchrotron diffraction, and density functional theory calculations. Upon cation intercalation, electrons are transferred selectively to the anionic chalcogen framework, while the transition metal octahedra are redox inactive. This reversible electrochemical anionic redox, which occurs without breaking or forming chemical bonds, is a fundamentally different charge storage mechanism than that occurring in most transition metal-containing intercalation electrodes using anionic redox to enhance energy density. The results suggest material design principles aimed at realizing new intercalation electrodes that enable the facile electrochemical intercalation of multivalent cations.

Abstract
There is an increasing need for sustainable energy storage solutions as fossil fuels are replaced by renewable energy sources. Multivalent batteries, specifically Mg batteries, are one energy storage technology that researchers continue to develop with hopes to surpass the performance of Li-ion batteries. However, the limited energy density and transport properties of Mg cathodes remain critical challenges preventing the realization of high-performance multivalent batteries. In this work, ABO4 zircon materials (A = Y, Eu and B = V, Cr) are computationally and experimentally evaluated as Mg intercalation cathodes. Remarkably good Mg-ion transport properties were predicted and Mg-ion intercalation was experimentally verified in sol-gel synthesized zircon YVO4, EuVO4, and EuCrO4. Among them, EuVO4 exhibited the best electrochemical performance and demonstrated repeated reversible cycling. While we believe that the one-dimensional diffusion channels and redox-active species tetragonal coordination limit the value of many zircons as high-performance cathodes, their unique structural motif of overlapping polyhedra along the diffusion pathway appears instrumental for promoting good Mg-ion mobility. The motif results in a favorable "6-5-4" change in coordination that avoids unfavorable sites with lower coordination along the diffusion pathway and a structural design metric for future Mg cathode development.

Abstract
Practical applications of Mg-metal batteries (MMBs) have been plagued by a critical bottleneck─the formation of a native oxide layer on the Mg-metal interface─which inevitably limits the use of conventional nontoxic electrolytes. The major aim of this work was to propose a simple and effective way to reversibly operate MMBs in combination with Mg(TFSI)2-diglyme electrolyte by forming a Ga-rich protective layer on the Mg metal (GPL@Mg). Mg metal was carefully reacted with a GaCl3 solution to trigger a galvanic replacement reaction between Ga3+ and Mg, resulting in the layering of a stable and ion-conducting Ga-rich protective film while preventing the formation of a native insulating layer. Various characterization tools were applied to analyze GPL@Mg, and it was demonstrated to contain inorganic-rich compounds (MgCO3, Mg(OH)2, MgCl2, Ga2O3, GaCl3, and MgO) roughly in a double-layered structure. The artificial GPL on Mg was effective in greatly reducing the high polarization for Mg plating and stripping in diglyme-based electrolyte, and the stable cycling was maintained for over 200 h. The one-step process suggested in this work offers insights into exploring a cost-effective approach to cover the Mg-metal surface with an ion-conducting artificial layer, which will help to practically advance MMBs.

Abstract
A new method for the preparation of polyaniline (PANI) films that have a 2D structure and can record high active mass loading (up to 30 mg cm-2) via acid-assisted polymerization in the presence of concentrated formic acid was developed. This new approach represents a simple reaction pathway that proceeds quickly at room temperature in quantitative isolated yield with the absence of any byproducts and leads to the formation of a stable suspension that can be stored for a prolonged time without sedimentation. The observed stability was explained by two factors: (a) the small size of the obtained rod-like particles (50 nm) and (b) the change of the surface of colloidal PANI particles to a positively charged form by protonation with concentrated formic acid. The films cast from the concentrated suspension were composed of amorphous PANI chains assembled into 2D structures with nanofibrillar morphology. Such PANI films demonstrated fast and efficient diffusion of the ions in liquid electrolyte and showed a pair of revisable oxidation and reduction peaks in cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, owing to the high mass loading, specific morphology, and porosity, the synthesized polyaniline film was impregnated by a single-ion conducting polyelectrolyte-poly(LiMn-r-PEGMm) and characterized as a novel lightweight all-polymeric cathode material for solid-state Li batteries by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques.

Abstract
Aqueous Mg-ion batteries (MIBs) lack reliable anode materials. This study concerns the design and synthesis of a new anode material - a π-conjugate of 3D-poly(3,4,9,10-perylenetracarboxylic diimide-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine) [3D-P(PDI-T)] - for aqueous MIBs. The increased aromatic structure inhibits solubility in aqueous electrolytes, enhancing its structural stability. The 3D-P(PDI-T) anode exhibits several notable characteristics, including an extremely high rate capacity of 358 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 , A 3D-P(PDI-T)‖Mg2 MnO4 full cell exhibits a reversible capacity of 148 mAh g-1 and a long cycle life of 5000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 . The charge storage mechanism reveals a synergistic interaction of Mg2+ and H+ cations with C-N/C=O groups. The assembled 3D-P(PDI-T)‖Mg2 MnO4 full cell exhibits a capacity retention of around 95 % after 5000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 . This 3D-P(PDI-T) anode sustained its framework structure during the charge-discharge cycling of Mg-ion batteries. The reported results provide a strong basis for a cutting-edge molecular engineering technique to afford improved organic materials that facilitate efficient charge-storage behavior of aqueous Mg-ion batteries.

Abstract
Multivalent ion batteries have attracted great attention because of their abundant reserves, low cost and high safety. Among them, magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have been regarded as a promising alternative for large-scale energy storage device owing to its high volumetric capacities and unfavorable dendrite formation. However, the strong interaction between Mg2+ and electrolyte as well as cathode material results in very slow insertion and diffusion kinetics. Therefore, it is highly necessary to develop high-performance cathode materials compatible with electrolyte for MIBs. Herein, the electronic structure of NiSe2 micro-octahedra was modulated by nitrogen doping (N-NiSe2) through hydrothermal method followed by a pyrolysis process and this N-NiSe2 micro-octahedra was used as cathode materials for MIBs. It is worth noting that N-NiSe2 micro-octahedra shows more redox active sites and faster Mg2+ diffusion kinetics compared with NiSe2 micro-octahedra without nitrogen doping. Moreover, the density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the doping of nitrogen could improve the conductivity of active materials on the one hand, facilitating Mg2+ ion diffusion kinetics, and on the other hand, nitrogen dopant sites could provide more Mg2+ adsorption sites. As a result, the N-NiSe2 micro-octahedra cathode exhibits a high reversible discharge capacity of 169 mAh g-1 at the current density of 50 mA g-1, and a good cycling stability over 500 cycles with a maintained discharge capacity of 158.5 mAh g-1. This work provides a new idea to improve the electrochemical performance of cathode materials for MIBs by the introduction of heteroatom dopant.

Abstract
The desperate pursuit of high gravimetric specific energy leads to the ignorance of volumetric energy density that is one of the basic requirements for batteries. Due to the high volumetric capacity, less-prone formation of dendrite, and low reduction potential of Mg metal, rechargeable Mg batteries are considered with innately high volumetric energy density. Nevertheless, the substantial elevation in energy density is compromised by extremely excessive Mg metal anode. Herein, the proof-of-concept of anode-free Mg2 Mo6 S8 -MgS/Cu batteries is proposed, in which MgS as the premagnesiation additive constantly decomposes to replenish Mg loss by electrolyte corrosion over cycling, while both Mg2 Mo6 S8 and MgS acts as the active material to reversibly provide high capacities. Besides, Mg2 Mo6 S8 shows superior catalytic activity on the decomposition of MgS and provides the strong affinity to polysulfides to restrain their dissolution. Consequently, the anode-free Mg2 Mo6 S8 -MgS/Cu batteries deliver a high reversible capacity of 190 mAh g-1 with the capacity retention of 92% after 100 cycles, corresponding to the highly competitive energy density of 420 Wh L-1 . The proposed anode-free Mg battery here spotlights the great promise of Mg batteries in achieving high volumetric energy densities, which will significantly expedite the advances of Mg batteries in practice.

Abstract
The low specific capacity and low voltage plateau are significant challenges in the advancement of practical magnesium ion batteries (MIBs). Here, a superior aqueous electrolyte combining with a copper foam interlayer between anode and separator is proposed to address these drawbacks. Notably, with the dynamic redox of copper ions, the weakened solvation of Mg2+ cations in the electrolyte and the enhanced electronic conductivity of anode, which may offer effective capacity-compensation to the 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI)-Mg conversion reactions during the long-term cycles. As a result, the unique MIBs using expanded graphite cathode coupled with PTCDI anode demonstrate exceptional performance with an ultra-high capacity (205 mAh g-1 , 243 Wh kg-1 at 5 A g-1 ) as well as excellent cycling stability after 600 cycles and rate capability (138 mAh g-1 , 81 Wh kg-1 at 10 A g-1 ).

Abstract
Aqueous zinc metal batteries are limited in practical applications due to their short lifespans. Herein, a LaF3-coated Zn anode (LF@Zn) is investigated to induce the uniform Zn deposition and successfully build a separator-free quasi-solid-state zinc metal battery. The LF@Zn enables smooth and dendrite-free Zn deposition, owing to the homogeneous Zn2+ flux regulated by the LaF3-based quasi-solid-state electrolyte. It can also suppress the corrosion side reactions by modulating the [Zn(H2O)6]2+ solvation sheath. The polarization of plating and stripping is relatively modest due to the reduced diffuse energy of desolvated Zn2+ in the quasi-solid-state electrolyte. In a separator-free symmetric cell, the LF@Zn anode shows a significantly prolonged lifespan of over 1300 h at 2 mA cm-2 and a superior rate performance with only 156 mV at an ultrahigh current density of 50 mA cm-2. A LF@Zn//VO2 quasi-solid-state full cell exhibits outperforming rate capability and a long cyclic performance for up to 3000 cycles at 6.0 A g-1. A stable Zn anode is established in this work with a fluoride-based quasi-solid-state electrolyte, opening up a new avenue for protecting metal anodes.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) metal secondary batteries have attracted much attention for their high safety and high energy density characteristics. However, the significant issues of the cathode/electrolyte interphase (CEI) in Mg batteries are still being ignored. In this work, a significant CEI layer on the typical Mo6 S8 cathode surface has been unprecedentedly constructed through the oxidation of the chloride-free magnesium tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy)borate (Mg[B(hfip)4 ]2 ) salt under a proper charge cut-off voltage condition. The CEI has been identified to contain Bx Oy effective species originating from the oxidation of [B(hfip)4 ]- anion. It is confirmed that the Bx Oy species is beneficial to the desolvation of solvated Mg2+ , speeding up the interfacial Mg2+ transfer kinetics, thereby improving the Mg2+ -storage capability of Mo6 S8 host. The firstly reported CEI in Mg batteries will give deeper insights into the interface issues in multivalent electrochemical systems.

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
We synthesize and characterize a rechargeable aluminum battery cathode material composed of heterostructured Co3Se4/ZnSe embedded in a hollow carbon matrix. This heterostructure is synthesized from a metal-organic framework composite, in which ZIF-8 is grown on the surface of ZIF-67 cube. Both experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the internal electric field across the heterostructure interface between Co3Se4 and ZnSe promotes the fast transport of electron and Al-ion diffusion. As a result, the heterostructured Co3Se4/ZnSe demonstrates superior specific capacity and cycle stability compared to the single-phase Co3Se4 and ZnSe cathode materials.

Abstract
The inhomogeneous consumption of anions and direct contact between electrolyte and anode during the Zn-deposition process generate Zn-dendrites and side reactions that can aggravate the space-charge effect to hinder the practical implementation of zinc-metal batteries (ZMBs). Herein, electrospray has been applied for the scalable fabrication (>10 000 cm2 in a batch-experiment) of hetero-metallic cluster covalent-organic-frameworks (MCOF-Ti6 Cu3 ) nanosheet-coating (MNC) with integrated micro space electrostatic field for ZMBs anode protection. The MNC@Zn symmetric cell presents ultralow overpotential (≈72.8 mV) over 10 000 cycles at 1 mAh cm-2 with 20 mA cm-2 , which is superior to bare Zn and state-of-the-art porous crystalline materials. Theoretical calculations reveal that MNC with integrated micro space electrostatic field can facilitate the deposition-kinetic and homogenize the electric field of anode to significantly promote the lifespan of ZMBs.

Abstract
This study presents a new material, "Hx CrS2 " (denotes approximate composition) formed by proton-exchange of NaCrS2 which has a measured capacity of 728 mAh g-1 with significant improvements to capacity retention, sustaining over 700 mAh g-1 during cycling experiments. This is the highest reported capacity for a transition metal sulfide electrode and outperforms the most promising proposed sodium anodes to date. Hx CrS2 exhibits a biphasic structure featuring alternating crystalline and amorphous lamella on the scale of a few nanometers. This unique structural motif enables reversible access to Cr redox in the material resulting in higher capacities than seen in the parent structure which features only S redox. Pretreatment by proton-exchange offers a route to materials such as Hx CrS2 which provide fast diffusion and high capacities for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
To outline the role of dual-ion intercalation chemistry to reach sustainable energy storage, the present Review aimed to compare two types of batteries: widely accepted dual-ion batteries based on cationic and anionic co-intercalation versus newly emerged hybrid metal-ion batteries using the co-intercalation of cations only. Among different charge carrier cations, the focus was on the materials able to co-intercalate monovalent ions (such Li+ and Na+ , Li+ and K+ , Na+ and K+ , etc.) or couples of mono- and multivalent ions (Li+ and Mg2+ , Na+ and Mg2+ , Na+ and Zn2+ , H+ and Zn2+ , etc.). Furthermore, the Review was directed on co-intercalation materials composed of environmentally benign and low-cost transition metals (e. g., Mn, Fe, etc.). The effect of the electrolyte on the co-intercalation properties was also discussed. The summarized knowledge on dual-ion energy storage could stimulate further research so that the hybrid metal-ion batteries become feasible in near future.

Abstract
Magnesium rechargeable batteries (MRBs) promise to be the next post lithium-ion batteries that can help meet the increasing demand for high-energy, cost-effective, high-safety energy storage devices. Early prototype MRBs that use molybdenum-sulfide cathodes have low terminal voltages, requiring the development of oxide-based cathodes capable of overcoming the sulfide's low Mg2+ conductivity. Here, we fabricate an ultraporous (>500 m2 g-1) and ultrasmall (<2.5 nm) cubic spinel MgMn2O4 (MMO) by a freeze-dry assisted room-temperature alcohol reduction process. While the as-fabricated MMO exhibits a discharge capacity of 160 mAh g-1, the removal of its surface hydroxy groups by heat-treatment activates it without structural change, improving its discharge capacity to 270 mAh g-1─the theoretical capacity at room temperature. These results are made possible by the ultraporous, ultrasmall particles that stabilize the metastable cubic spinel phase, promoting both the Mg2+ insertion/deintercalation in the MMO and the reversible transformation between the cubic spinel and cubic rock-salt phases.

Abstract
Charge transfer across the electrode-electrolyte interface is a highly complex and convoluted process involving diverse solvated species with varying structures and compositions. Despite recent advances in in situ and operando interfacial analysis, molecular specific reactivity of solvated species is inaccessible due to a lack of precise control over the interfacial constituents and/or an unclear understanding of their spectroscopic fingerprints. However, such molecular-specific understanding is critical to the rational design of energy-efficient solid-electrolyte interphase layers. We have employed ion soft landing, a versatile and highly controlled method, to prepare well-defined interfaces assembled with selected ions, either as solvated species or as bare ions, with distinguishing molecular precision. Equipped with precise control over interfacial composition, we employed in situ multimodal spectroscopic characterization to unravel the molecular specific reactivity of Mg solvated species comprising (i.e., bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, TFSI-) anions and solvent molecules (i.e., dimethoxyethane, DME/G1) on a Mg metal surface relevant to multivalent Mg batteries. In situ multimodal spectroscopic characterization revealed higher reactivity of the undercoordinated solvated species [Mg-TFSI-G1]+ compared to the fully coordinated [Mg-TFSI-(G1)2]+ species or even the bare TFSI-. These results were corroborated by the computed reaction pathways and energy barriers for decomposition of the TFSI- within Mg solvated species relative to bare TFSI-. Finally, we evaluated the TFSI reactivity under electrochemical conditions using Mg(TFSI)2-DME-based phase-separated electrolytes representing different solvated constituents. Based on our multimodal study, we report a detailed understanding of TFSI- decomposition processes as part of coordinated solvated species at a Mg-metal anode that will aid the rational design of improved sustainable electrochemical energy technologies.

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.
