Abstract
In this investigation, moisture-stable CsSnBr2Cl nanoparticles were synthesized by incorporating Cl into CsSnBr3 halide perovskite using the hot injection method. Various analyses including XRD, XPS, UV-vis absorbance, photoluminescence, and Mott-Schottky have confirmed that the structural properties, chemical states, optical properties, and electronic band structure of CsSnBr2Cl nanoparticles remain intact even after 75 days of water immersion, thereby conclusively demonstrating their moisture stability. In a three-electrode system, the comparative electrochemical performance of pristine CsSnBr3 nanoparticles and moisture-stable Cl-incorporated CsSnBr2Cl nanoparticles was evaluated in various aqueous electrolytes, including HCl, Na2SO4, and KOH. The results indicate that the CsSnBr2Cl electrode material exhibits superior electrochemical properties, such as a larger integrated cyclic voltammetry (CV) area, a wider potential window, longer charge-discharge times, and lower impedance parameters compared to the pristine CsSnBr3 nanoparticles. The electrochemical performance of CsSnBr2Cl nanoparticles was evaluated for potential applications in batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and water splitting, with a focus on reaction kinetics, charge storage mechanisms, and impedance parameters. The electrochemical properties of the nanoparticles were assessed using a three-electrode configuration across various 0.5 M aqueous electrolytes (HCl, Na2SO4, and KOH). In HCl, the nanoparticles demonstrated impressive charge storage capability, achieving a capacitance of 474 F g-1 at 1 A g-1, affirming their suitability for energy storage devices. In Na2SO4(aq.), the nanoparticles exhibited excellent stability for supercapacitors, operating up to 1.6 V without significant oxygen evolution. Notably, in KOH, they demonstrated potential as effective water-splitting electrodes. The practical applicability of the nanoparticles was evaluated using a symmetric two-electrode configuration with HCl and Na2SO4 electrolytes. The capacitance values were 117 F g-1 in HCl and 70 F g-1 in Na2SO4 at 1 A g-1. Notably, after 5000 GCD cycles in HCl(aq.), the nanoparticles retained 93% of their capacitance and maintained 91% Coulombic efficiency. They also demonstrated stable operation across a temperature range of 3 to 60 °C, achieving an energy density of 5.83 W h kg-1 at a power density of 600 W kg-1. This study emphasizes the considerable potential of CsSnBr2Cl nanoparticles in advancing electrochemical energy storage technologies and sets a solid foundation for future research and development in metal halide perovskites.

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

Abstract
Expanded graphite (EG) electrodes gather several advantages for their utilization in microbial electrochemical technologies (MET). Unfortunately, the low microbial electroactivity makes them non-practical for implementing them as electrodes. The objective of this work is to explore the enhancement of microbial electroactivity of expanded graphite (commercial PV15) through the generation of nanopores by CO2 treatment. The changes in properties were thoroughly analysed by TG, XRD, Raman, XPS, gas adsorption, SEM and AFM, as well as microbial electroactivity in the presence of Geobacter sulfurreducens. Nanopores remarkably enhance the microbially derived electrical current (60-fold increase). Given the inaccessibility of micron-sized bacteria to these nanopores, it is suggested that the electric charge exchanged by electroactive microorganisms might be greatly affected by the capability of the electrode to compensate these charges through ion adsorption. The increased microbial current density produced on activated PV15 opens the possibility of using such materials as promising electrodes in MET.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are gaining widespread attention for large-scale energy storage applications as a result of their high energy densities, high security, and abundance. The key to sustain the progress of RABs lies in the quest for the proper cathode materials with prominent capacity and reversible cycle life. Herein, we propose a tremella-like VS4 as a cathode material aiming to tackle this problem. Obtained from a morphology modification process, VS4 with a unique nanosheet structure provides sufficient active sites for intercalation and conversion reactions, shortens the transport paths for charge carrier ions, and facilitates the infiltration process for electrolyte. The RAB with the VS4 cathode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, including outstanding specific capacity (407.9 mAh g-1) and stable cycling performance (∼300 cycles at a high current density). The energy storage mechanism has been comprehensively investigated and is confirmed to be a combination of the intercalation/deintercalation of Al3+ and AlCl4- ions and conversion reaction by various techniques and DFT calculation. Our study not only provides a peculiar and simple strategy for the rational design of metal sulfide cathode materials with high capacity and long-term stability but also proposes a specific energy storage mechanism that guides the development of cathode materials of RABs in the future.

Abstract
Rechargeable Al batteries (RAB) are promising candidates for safe and environmentally sustainable battery systems with low-cost investments. However, the currently used aluminum chloride-based electrolytes present a significant challenge to commercialization due to their corrosive nature. Here, we report for the first time, a novel electrolyte combination for RAB based on aluminum trifluoromethanesulfonate (Al(OTf)3) with tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC) additive in diglyme. The presence of a mere 0.1 M of TBAC in the Al(OTf)3 electrolyte generates the charge carrying electrochemical species, which forms the basis of reaction at the electrodes. TBAC reduces the charge transfer resistance and the surface activation energy at the anode surface and also augments the dissociation of Al(OTf)3 to generate the solid electrolyte interphase components. Our electrolyte's superiority directly translates into reduced anodic overpotential for cells that ran for 1300 cycles in Al plating/stripping tests, the longest cycling life reported to date. This unique combination of salt and additive is non-corrosive, exhibits a high flash point and is cheaper than traditionally reported RAB electrolyte combinations, which makes it commercially promising. Through this report, we address a major roadblock in the commercialization of RAB and inspire equivalent electrolyte fabrication approaches for other metal anode batteries.

Abstract
The rising energy crisis and environmental concerns caused by fossil fuels have accelerated the deployment of renewable and sustainable energy sources and storage systems. As a result of immense progress in the field, cost-effective, high-performance, and long-life rechargeable batteries are imperative to meet the current and future demands for sustainable energy sources. Currently, lithium-ion batteries are widely used, but limited lithium (Li) resources have caused price spikes, threatening progress toward cleaner energy sources. Therefore, post-Li, batteries that utilize highly abundant materials leading to cost-effective energy storage solutions while offering desirable performance characteristics are urgently needed. Aluminum-ion battery (AIB) is an attractive concept that uses highly abundant aluminum while offering a high theoretical gravimetric and volumetric capacity of 2980 mAh g-1 and 8046 mAh cm-3 , respectively. As a result, intensified efforts have been made in recent years to utilize numerous electrolytes, anodes, and cathode materials to improve the electrochemical performance of AIBs, and potentially create high-performance, low-cost, and safe energy storage devices. Herein, recent progress in the electrolyte, anode, and cathode active materials and their utilization in AIBs and their related characteristics are summarized. Finally, the main challenges facing AIBs along with future directions are highlighted.

Abstract
Aluminum-ion batteries have garnered significant interest as a potentially safer and cheaper replacement for conventional lithium-ion batteries, offering a shorter charging time and denser storage capacity. Nonetheless, the progress in this field is considerably hampered by the limited availability of suitable cathode materials that can sustain the reversible intercalation of Al3+/[AlCl4]- ions, particularly after long cycles. Herein, we demonstrate that rechargeable Al batteries embedded with two-dimensional (2D) Nb2CTx MXene as a cathode material exhibit excellent capacity and exceptional long cyclic performance. We have successfully improved the initial electrochemical performance of Nb2CTx MXene after being properly delaminated to a single-layered microstructure and subjected to a post-synthesis calcining treatment. Compared to pristine Nb2CTx MXene, the Al battery embedded with the calcined Nb2CTx MXene cathode has, respectively, retained high capacities of 108 and 80 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at current densities of 0.2 and 0.5 A g-1 in a wide voltage window (0.1-2.4 V). Noteworthily, the cyclic lifetime of Nb2CTx MXene was extended from ∼300 to >500 times after calcination. We reveal that attaining Nb2CTx nanosheets with a controllable d-spacing has promoted the migration of the [AlCl4]- and Al3+ ions in the MXene interlayers, leading to enhanced charge storage. Furthermore, we found out that the formation of niobium oxides and amorphous carbon after calcination probably benefits the electrochemical performance of Nb2CTx MXene electrode in Al batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) have been paid considerable attention in the field of electrochemical energy storage batteries due to their advantages of low cost, good safety, high capacity, long cycle life, and good wide-temperature performance. Unlike traditional single-ion rocking chair batteries, more than two kinds of active ions are electrochemically participated in the reaction processes on the positive and negative electrodes for nonaqueous RABs, so the reaction kinetics and battery electrochemistries need to be given more comprehensive assessments. In addition, although nonaqueous RABs have made significant breakthroughs in recent years, they are still facing great challenges in insufficient reaction kinetics, low energy density, and serious capacity attenuation. Here, the research progresses of positive materials are comprehensively summarized, including carbonaceous materials, oxides, elemental S/Se/Te and chalcogenides, as well as organic materials. Later, different modification strategies are discussed to improve the reaction kinetics and battery performance, including crystal structure control, morphology and architecture regulation, as well as flexible design. Finally, in view of the current research challenges faced by nonaqueous RABs, the future development trend is proposed. More importantly, it is expected to gain key insights into the development of high-performance positive materials for nonaqueous RABs to meet practical energy storage requirements.

Abstract
New types of rechargeable batteries other than lithium-ions, including sodium/potassium/zinc/magnesium/calcium/aluminum-ion batteries and non-aqueous batteries, are rapidly advancing towards large-scale energy storage applications. A major challenge for these burgeoning batteries is the absence of appropriate electrode materials, which gravely hinders their further development. Expanded graphite (EG)-based electrode materials have been proposed for these emerging batteries due to their low cost, non-toxic, rich-layered structure and adjustable layer spacing. Here, we evaluate and summarize the application of EG-based materials in rechargeable batteries other than Li+ batteries, including alkaline ion (such as Na+, K+) storage and multivalent ion (such as Mg2+, Zn2+, Ca2+ and Al3+) storage batteries. Particularly, this article discusses the composite strategy and performance of EG-based materials, which enables them to function as an electrode in these emerging batteries. Future research areas in EG-based materials, from the fundamental understanding of material design and processing to reaction mechanisms and device performance optimization strategies, are being looked forward to.
