Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have garnered significant attention for their potential in large-scale energy storage applications. However, the commercial development of RMBs has been severely hampered by the rapid failure of large-sized Mg metal anodes, especially under fast and deep cycling conditions. Herein, a concept proof involving a large-scale ion-reinforced phytic acid (PA) layer (100 cm × 7.5 cm) with an excellent water-oxygen tolerance, high Mg2+ conductivity, and favorable electrochemical stability is proposed to enable rapid and uniform plating/stripping of Mg metal anode. Guided by even distributions of Mg2+ flux and electric field, the as-prepared large-sized PA-Al@Mg electrode (5.8 cm × 4.5 cm) exhibits no perforation and uniform Mg plating/stripping after cycling. Consequently, an ultralong lifespan (2400 h at 3 mA cm-2 with 1 mAh cm-2) and high current tolerance (300 h at 9 mA cm-2 with 1 mAh cm-2) of the symmetric cell using the PA-Al@Mg anode could be achieved. Notably, the PA-Al@Mg//Mo6S8 full cell demonstrates exceptional stability, operating for 8000 cycles at 5 C with a capacity retention of 99.8%, surpassing that of bare Mg (3000 cycles, 74.7%). Moreover, a large-sized PA-Al@Mg anode successfully contributes to the stable pouch cell (200 and 750 cycles at 0.1 and 1 C), further confirming its significant potential for practical utilization. This work provides valuable theoretical insights and technological support for the practical implementation of RMBs.

Abstract
Traditional lithium salts are difficult to meet practical application demand of lithium metal batteries (LMBs) under high voltages and temperatures. LiPF6, as the most commonly used lithium salt, still suffers from notorious moisture sensitivity and inferior thermal stability under those conditions. Here, we synthesize a lithium salt of lithium perfluoropinacolatoborate (LiFPB) comprising highly-fluorinated and borate functional groups to address the above issues. It is demonstrated that the LiFPB shows superior thermal and electrochemical stability without any HF generation under high temperatures and voltages. In addition, the LiFPB can form a protective outer-organic and inner-inorganic rich cathode electrolyte interphase on LiCoO2 (LCO) surface. Simultaneously, the FPB- anions tend to integrate into lithium ion solvation structure to form a favorable fast-ion conductive LiBxOy based solid electrolyte interphase on lithium (Li) anode. All these fantastic features of LiFPB endow LCO (1.9 mAh cm-2)/Li metal cells excellent cycling under both high voltages and temperatures (e.g., 80 % capacity retention after 260 cycles at 60 °C and 4.45 V), and even at an extremely elevated temperature of 100 °C. This work emphasizes the important role of salt anions in determining the electrochemical performance of LMBs at both high temperature and voltage conditions.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have attracted much attention because of their high theoretical volumetric capacity and high safety. However, the uneven deposition behavior, harmful corrosion reaction and poor stability of magnesium metal anodes have hindered the practical application of RMBs. Herein, we propose a facile alloy electrodeposition method to construct an artificial layer on an Mg anode. Experimental results show that the polarization of the symmetric magnesium alloy-based (Mg-Sn@Mg and Mg-Bi@Mg) cells is significantly reduced (∼0.05 V) at a current density of 0.1 mA cm-2. The symmetric cells using the prepared Mg alloy anodes exhibited lower voltage hysteresis and ultra-stable cycling performance at a higher density of 1.0 mA cm-2 over 700 h. The in situ optical microscopy study clearly demonstrated that the Mg dendrite formation was successfully retarded by the designed Mg-Sn and Mg-Bi alloy artificial protective layer on Mg anodes. The superiority of Mg-Sn@Mg and Mg-Bi@Mg was further confirmed in full cells using Mo6S8 as the cathode. Compared with the Mo6S8//Mg full cell, the Mo6S8//Mg-Sn@Mg and Mo6S8//Mg-Bi@Mg full cells maintained an ultra-stable electrochemical performance even after 5000 cycles. This proof-of-concept provides a novel scope for the artificial coating layers on Mg anodes prepared by alloy electrodeposition and can be extended to other alloy anodes (i.e. Mg-Cu@Mg and so on). This work provides an avenue for the design of practical and high-performance RMBs and beyond.

Abstract
Utilizing metal anode is the most attractive way to meet the urgent demand for rechargeable batteries with high energy density. Unfortunately, the formation of dendrites, which is caused by uneven plating behavior, always threaten the safety of the batteries. To explore the origin of different plating behavior and predict the plating morphology of anode under a variety of operating conditions, multifarious models have been developed. However, abuse of models has led to conflictive views. In this perspective, to clarify the controversial reports on magnesium (Mg) metal plating behavior, the previously proposed models are elaborated that govern the plating process. Through linking various models and clarifying their boundary conditions, a scheme is drawn to illustrate the strategy for achieving the most dense and uniform plating morphology, which also explains the seemingly contradictory of diffusion limited theory and nucleation theory on uniform plating. This perspective will undoubtedly enhance the understanding on the metal anode plating process and provide meaningful guidance for the development of metal anode batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) become a highly promising candidate for the large-scale energy storage system by right of the high volumetric capacity, intrinsic safety and abundant resources of Mg anode. However, the uneven Mg stripping and large overpotential will cause a severe pitting perforation and the followed failure of Mg anode. Herein, we proposed a high-performance binary Mg-1 at% Gd alloy anode prepared by the melting and hot extrusion. The introduction of 1 at% Gd element can effectively reduce the Mg2+ diffusion energy barrier (0.34 eV) on alloy surface and induces the formation of a robust and low-resistance electrolyte/anode interphase, thus enabling a uniform and fast Mg plating/stripping. As a result, the Mg-1 at.% Gd anode displays a largely enhanced life of 220 h and a low overpotential of 213 mV at a high current density of 5.0 mA cm-2 with 2.5 mAh cm-2 . Moreover, the assembled Mg-1 at.% Gd//Mo6 S8 full cell delivers a high rate performance (73.5 mAh g-1 at 5 C) and ultralong cycling stability of 8000 cycles at 5 C. This work brings new insights to design the new-type and practical Mg alloy anodes for commercial RMBs.

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
Magnesium metal batteries are promising candidates for next-generation high-energy-density and low-cost energy storage systems. Their application, however, is precluded by infinite relative volume changes and inevitable side reactions of Mg metal anodes. These issues become more pronounced at large areal capacities that are required for practical batteries. Herein, for the first time, double-transition-metal MXene films are developed to promote deeply rechargeable magnesium metal batteries using Mo2 Ti2 C3 as a representative example. The freestanding Mo2 Ti2 C3 films, which are prepared using a simple vacuum filtration method, possess good electronic conductivity, unique surface chemistry, and high mechanical modulus. These superior electro-chemo-mechanical merits of Mo2 Ti2 C3 films help to accelerate electrons/ions transfer, suppress electrolyte decomposition and dead Mg formation, as well as maintain electrode structural integrity during long-term and large-capacity operation. As a result, the as-developed Mo2 Ti2 C3 films exhibit reversible Mg plating/stripping with high Coulombic efficiency of 99.3% at a record-high capacity of 15 mAh cm-2 . This work not only sheds innovative insights into current collector design for deeply cyclable Mg metal anodes, but also paves the way for the application of double-transition-metal MXene materials in other alkali and alkaline earth metal batteries.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal dichalcogenides have demonstrated outstanding potential as cathodes for magnesium-ion batteries. However, the limited capacity, poor cycling stability, and severe electrode pulverization, resulting from lack of void space for expansion, impede their further development. In this work, we report for the first time, nickel sulfide (NiS2) hollow nanospheres assembled with nanoparticles for use as cathode materials in magnesium-ion batteries. Notably, the nanospheres were prepared by a one-step solvothermal process in the absence of an additive. The results show that regulating the synergistic effect between the rich anions and hollow structure positively affects its electrochemical performance. Crystallographic and microstructural characterizations reveal the reversible anionic redox of S2-/(S2)2-, consistent with density functional theory results. Consequently, the optimized cathode (8-NiS2 hollow nanospheres) could deliver a large capacity of 301 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 50 mA g-1, supporting the promising practical application of NiS2 hollow nanospheres in magnesium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Owing to its high volumetric capacity and natural abundance, magnesium (Mg) metal has attracted tremendous attention as an ideal anode material for rechargeable Mg batteries. Despite Mg deposition playing an integral role in determining the cycling lifespan, its exact behavior is not clearly understood yet. Herein, for the first time, we introduce a facile approach to build magnesiophilic In/MgIn sites in situ on a Mg metal surface using InCl3 electrolyte additive for rechargeable Mg batteries. These magnesiophilic sites can regulate Mg deposition behaviors by homogenizing the distributions of Mg-ion flux and electric field at the electrode-electrolyte interphase, allowing flat and compact Mg deposition to inhibit short-circuiting. The as-designed Mg metal batteries achieve a stable cycling lifespan of 340 h at 1.0 mA cm-2 and 1.0 mAh cm-2 using Celgard separators, while the full cell coupled with Mo6S8 cathode maintains a high capacity retention of 95.5% over 800 cycles at 1 C.
