Abstract
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs), with high energy densities, are strong contenders for the next generation of energy storage systems. Nevertheless, the unregulated growth of lithium dendrites and the unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) significantly hamper their cycling efficiency and raise serious safety concerns, rendering LMBs unfeasible for real-world implementation. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives have emerged as multifunctional materials with significant potential for addressing the inherent problems of the anode electrode of the lithium metal. This potential stems from their abundant metal-affine functional groups, internal channels, and widely tunable architecture. The original COFs, their derivatives, and COF-based composites can effectively guide the uniform deposition of lithium ions by enhancing conductivity, transport efficiency, and mechanical strength, thereby mitigating the issue of lithium dendrite growth. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of COF-based and derived materials employed for mitigating the challenges posed by lithium dendrites in LMB. Additionally, we present prospects and recommendations for the design and engineering of materials and architectures that can render LMBs feasible for practical applications.

Abstract
For sodium batteries, the development of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) with remarkable electrochemical properties is in its early stage and persists to be a challenge. In this report we have synthesized a series of GPEs containing a poly(vinyllidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as blend polymer, sodium perchlorate (NaClO4) as ion-conducting salt and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM-BF4) and tetra ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) as molecular solvents. The counter balance between EMIM-BF4 and TEGDME is maintained by the electrolyte, which is formed through the optimal weight ratio of 2 : 1. GPEs have an advantageous set of properties, including stability window of 5 V, Na+ transference number of 0.20, and a room-temperature ionic conductivity of 5.8 × 10-3 S cm-1. According to enthalpy and entropy calculations, optimized GPE yields the highest amount of disorder or amorphicity and contributes to greatest conductivity. XRD analysis supports this argument. Thermal investigations show that optimized GPE may preserve gel phase up to 125 °C. The prototype sodium cell fabricated with optimize GPE has a specific capacity of 281 mA h g-1 and open circuit voltage of 2.5 V. The optimized GPE exhibits potential for future electrochemical applications.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials have attracted a lot interest in batteries in recent years. However, most of them still suffer from low performance such as low electrode potential, slow reaction kinetics, and short cycle life. In this work, we report a strategy of fabricating donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers for facilitating the charge transfer and therefore accelerating the reaction kinetics by using the copolymer (p-TTPZ) of dihydrophenazine (PZ) and thianthrene (TT) as a proof-of-concept. The D-A conjugated polymer as p-type cathode could store anions and exhibited high discharge voltages (two plateaus at 3.82 V, 3.16 V respectively), a reversible capacity of 152 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , excellent rate performance with a high capacity of 124.2 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 (≈50 C) and remarkable cyclability. The performance, especially the rate capability was much higher than that of its counterpart homopolymers without D-A structure. As a result, the p-TTPZ//graphite full cells showed a high output voltage (3.26 V), a discharge specific capacity of 139.1 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and excellent rate performance. This work provides a novel strategy for developing high performance organic electrode materials through molecular design and will pave a way towards high energy density organic batteries.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials are promising for batteries. However, the reported organic electrodes are often facing the challenges of low specific capacity, low voltage, poor rate capability and vague charge storage mechanisms, etc. Isomers are good platform to investigate the charge storage mechanisms and enhance the performance of batteries, which, however, have not been focused in batteries. Herein, two isomers are reported for batteries. As a result, the isomer tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) could store two monovalent anions reversibly, deriving an average discharge voltage of 1.05 V and a specific capacity of 220 mAh g-1 at a current density of 2 C. On the other hand, the other isomer tetrathianaphthalene could only reversibly store one monovalent anion and upon further oxidation, it would undergo an irreversible solid-state molecular rearrangement to TTF. The molecular rearrangement was confirmed by electrochemical performances, X-ray diffraction patterns, nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and 1H detected heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectra. These results suggested the small structural change could lead to a big difference in anion storage, and we hope this work will stimulate more attention to the structural design for boosting the performance of organic batteries.

Abstract
High-performance organic small-molecule electrode materials are troubled with their high solubility in liquid electrolytes. The construction of quasi-solid-state lithium organic batteries (LOBs) using gel polymer electrolytes with high mechanical properties, compromised ionic conductivity, high safety, and eco-friendly is an effective way to inhibit the dissolution of active materials. Herein, two hexaazatriphenylene (HATN)-based organic cathode materials (HATNA-6OCH3 and HATNA-6OH) are synthesized and then matched with polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP)-based gel polymer electrolytes to construct quasi-solid-state LOBs. Thanks to the enhanced interfacial compatibility between organic cathode material and gel polymer electrolyte, HATNA-6OH with compatible hydroxyl group shows the enhanced electrochemical properties compared with HATNA-6OCH3. Further, the electrochemical performance is improved when HATNA-6OH is combined with a gel polymer electrolyte modified with a succinonitrile (SN) plasticizer (GPE-0.4SN), including a high specific capacity of 153.3 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and a good reversible capacity of 88 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 200 mA g-1. In addition, the good electrochemical properties and lithium-ion storage mechanism of HATNA-6OH have been elucidated using density functional theory (DFT) and spectral characterizations.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries have become one of the hottest research areas today, due to the use of solid-state electrolytes enabling the high safety and energy density. Because of the interaction with electrolyte salts and the abundant ion transport sites, natural polysaccharide polymers with rich functional groups such as -OH, -OR or -COO- etc. have been applied in solid-state electrolytes and have the merits of possibly high ionic conductivity and sustainability. This review summarizes the recent progress of natural polysaccharides and derivatives for polymer electrolytes, which will stimulate further interest in the application of polysaccharides for solid-state batteries.

Abstract
For developing the reversible lithium metal anode, constructing an ideal solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) by regulating the Li+ solvation structure is a powerful way to overcome the major obstacles of lithium dendrite and limited Coulombic efficiency (CE). Herein, spherical mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 nanoparticles are coated on a commercial PP separator and used to regulate the Li+ solvation structure for lithium metal batteries (LMBs). The regulated solvation structure exhibits an agminated state with more contact ion pairs (CIPs) and ionic aggregates (AGGs), which successfully construct a homogeneous inorganic-rich SEI in the lithium anode. Meanwhile, the regulated solvation structure weakens the interaction between the solvents and Li+, resulting in low Li+ desolvation energy and uniform Li deposition. Thus, a high CE (∼96.76%), dendrite-free Li anode, and stable Li plating/stripping cycling for approximately 1000 h are achieved in the regulated carbonate-based electrolyte without any additives. Therefore, regulating the Li+ solvation structure in the electrolyte by employing a mesoporous material is a forceful way to construct an ideal SEI and harness lithium metal.

Abstract
Lithium metal anodes are ideal for realizing high-energy-density batteries owing to their advantages, namely high capacity and low reduction potentials. However, the utilization of lithium anodes is restricted by the detrimental lithium dendrite formation, repeated formation and fracturing of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), and large volume expansion, resulting in severe "dead lithium" and subsequent short circuiting. Currently, the researches are principally focused on inhibition of dendrite formation toward extending and maintaining battery lifespans. Herein, we summarize the strategies employed in interfacial engineering and current-collector host designs as well as the emerging electrochemical catalytic methods for evolving-accelerating-ameliorating lithium ion/atom diffusion processes. First, strategies based on the fabrication of robust SEIs are reviewed from the aspects of compositional constituents including inorganic, organic, and hybrid SEI layers derived from electrolyte additives or artificial pretreatments. Second, the summary and discussion are presented for metallic and carbon-based three-dimensional current collectors serving as lithium hosts, including their functionality in decreasing local deposition current density and the effect of introducing lithiophilic sites. Third, we assess the recent advances in exploring alloy compounds and atomic metal catalysts to accelerate the lateral lithium ion/atom diffusion kinetics to average the spatial lithium distribution for smooth plating. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of metallic lithium anodes are presented, providing insights into the modulation of diffusion kinetics toward achieving dendrite-free lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Lithium metal anode possesses overwhelming capacity and low potential but suffers from dendrite growth and pulverization, causing short lifespan and low utilization. Here, a fundamental novel insight of using single-atomic catalyst (SAC) activators to boost lithium atom diffusion is proposed to realize delocalized deposition. By combining electronic microscopies, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, theoretical simulations, and electrochemical analyses, we have unambiguously depicted that the SACs serve as kinetic activators in propelling the surface spreading and lateral redistribution of the lithium atoms for achieving dendrite-free plating morphology. Under the impressive capacity of 20 mA h cm-2, the Li modified with SAC-activator exhibits a low overpotential of ∼50 mV at 5 mA cm-2, a long lifespan of 900 h, and high Coulombic efficiencies during 150 cycles, much better than most literature reports. The so-coupled lithium-sulfur full battery delivers high cycling and rate performances, showing great promise toward the next-generation lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
The silicon oxide/graphite (SiO/C) composite anode represents one of the promising candidates for next generation Li-ion batteries over 400 Wh kg-1 . However, the rapid capacity decay and potential safety risks at low temperature restrict their widely practical applications. Herein, the fabrication of sulfide-rich solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer on surface of SiO/C anode to boost the reversible Li-storage performance at low temperature is reported. Different from the traditional SEI layer, the present modification layer is composed of inorganic-organic hybrid components with three continuous layers as disclosed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The result shows that ROSO2 Li, ROCO2 Li, and LiF uniformly distribute over different layers. When coupled with LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 cathode, the capacity retention achieves 73% at -20 °C. The first principle calculations demonstrate that the gradient adsorption of sulfide-rich surface layer and traditional intermediate layer can promote the desolvation of Li+ at low temperature. Meanwhile, the inner LiF-rich layer with rapid ionic diffusion capability can inhibit dendrite growth. These results offer new perspective of developing advanced SiO/C anode and low-temperature Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Conjugated quinones are promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. However, the contemporary primary conjugated quinones cathodes still hold to limited capacity, poor rate performance and low cyclability, due to the poor electronic and ionic conductivity. Herein, a series of high-performance conjugated-quinones@MXene hybrid cathodes is constructed by an in situ polymerization-assembly strategy based on the hydrogen bond and S-Ti interaction. The PAQS@Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrid, as a typical example, exhibits sandwiched structure with intimate PAQS@MXene contact, resulting in efficient interfacial mass transfer. The assembled MXene is able to build interconnected conductive channels in the hybrid cathodes for continuous and fast electrons/ions transport, which is verified by both the experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. As a result, the optimal PAQS@MXene hybrid electrode delivers excellent electrochemical performances with high capacity (∼242 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1), superior fast-charge/discharge ability (∼148 and 121 mA h g-1 at 5 and 10 A g-1, respectively), and ultralong cycle life (capacity as high as 57 mA h g-1 after 9000 cycles at 5 A g-1), which are more superior to that of the pure PAQS electrodes. Besides, the analogous PPTS@Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrid cathode also shows better performances compared to the pure materials.

Abstract
A multifunctional graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) protective layer with bionic ion channels and high stability is prepared to inhibit dendrite growth and side reactions on zinc (Zn) metal anodes. The high electronegativity of the nitrogen-containing organic groups (NOGs) in the GCN layer can effectively promote the dissociation of solvated Zn2+ and its rapid transportation in bionic ion channels via a hopping mechanism. In addition, this GCN layer exhibits excellent mechanical strength to suppress the growth of Zn dendrites and the volume expansion of Zn metal anodes during the plating process. Consequently, the electrodeposited Zn presents a uniform and densely packed morphology with negligible side-product accumulation. As a result, the half-cell composed of the Cu-GCN anode can deliver a remarkable long-term cycling performance of 1000 h at 0.5 mA cm-2 and 0.25 mAh cm-2. A full cell assembled with MnO2 cathode also displays improved long-term cycling performance (150 cycles at 200 mA g-1) when the Cu-GCN@Zn composite anode is applied. This work deepens our understanding of the kinetics of ion migration in the interface layer and paves the way for next-generation high energy-density Zn-metal batteries (ZMBs).

Abstract
Zinc metal holds a great potential as an anode material for next-generation aqueous batteries due to its suitable redox potential, high specific capacity, and low cost. However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth and detrimental side reactions with electrolytes hinder the practical application of this type of electrodes. To tackle the issues, an ultrathin (∼1 μm) sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is constructed onto the Zn anode surface by a facile spin-coating method. We demonstrate that the polymeric SEI simultaneously blocks the water molecules and anions, uniformizes the ion flux, and facilitates the desolvation process of Zn2+ ions, thus effectively suppressing the side reactions and Zn dendrite formation. As a result, the newly developed Zn@SPEEK anode enables a symmetric cell to stably operate over 1000 cycles at 5 mA cm-2 without degradation. Moreover, with the Zn anode paired with a MnO2 cathode, the full cell exhibits an improved Coulombic efficiency (over 99% at 0.1 A g-1), a superior rate capability (127 mA h g-1 at 2 A g-1), and excellent cycling stability (capacity retention of 70% over 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1). This work provides a facile yet effective strategy to address the critical challenges in Zn anodes, paving the way for the development of high-performance rechargeable aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Metal anodes based on a plating/stripping electrochemistry such as metallic Li, Na, K, Zn, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al are recognized as promising anode materials for constructing next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable metal batteries owing to their low electrochemical potential, high theoretical specific capacity, superior electronic conductivity, etc. However, inherent issues such as high chemical reactivity, severe growth of dendrites, huge volume changes, and unstable interface largely impede their practical application. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives as emerging multifunctional materials have already well addressed the inherent issues of metal anodes in the past several years due to their abundant metallophilic functional groups, special inner channels, and controllable structures. COFs and their derivatives can solve the issues of metal anodes by interfacial modification, homogenizing ion flux, acting as nucleation seeds, reducing the corrosion of metal anodes, and so on. Nevertheless, related reviews are still absent. Here we present a detailed review of multifunctional COFs and their derivatives in metal anodes for rechargeable metal batteries. Meanwhile, some outlooks and opinions are put forward. We believe the review can catch the eyes of relevant researchers and supply some inspiration for future research.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal anodes are regarded as prospective anode materials in next-generation secondary lithium batteries due to their ultrahigh theoretical capacities and ultralow potentials. However, inhomogeneous lithium deposition and uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites always give rise to the low lithium utilization, rapid capacity fading, and poor cycling performance. Herein, we design the lithiophilic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) containing preorganized triazine rings and carbonyl groups as the multifunctional interlayer in lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Triazine rings rich in lone pair electrons can act as the donor attracting Li ions, and carbonyl groups serve as Li-anchoring sites effectively coordinating Li ions. These periodic arranged subunits significantly guide uniform Li ion flux distribution, guarantee smooth Li deposition and less lithium dendrite formation. Consequently, the symmetric batteries with COF interlayers exhibit an extraordinary cycling stability for more than 2450 and 1000 h with ultralow polarization voltage of about 12 and 14 mV at 0.5 and 1.0 mA cm-1. Coupling with sulfur (S) cathodes and LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes, the full cells also demonstrate superb energy density achievement and rate performance. With introducing lithiophilic COFs interlayers, the Li-LFP batteries exhibit high capacity of 150 mAh g-1 and 86% capacity retention after 450 cycles at 0.5 C.

Abstract
ConspectusRedox active organic and polymeric materials have witnessed the rapid development and commercialization of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) over the last century and the increasing interest in developing various alternatives to LIBs in the past 30 years. As a kind of potential alternative, organic and polymeric materials have the advantages of flexibility, tunable performance through molecular design, potentially high specific capacity, vast natural resources, and recyclability. However, until now, only a handful inorganic materials have been adopted as electrodes in commercialized LIBs. Although the development of carbonyl-based materials revived organic batteries and stimulated plentiful organic materials for batteries in the past 10 years due to their high theoretical capacities and long-term cycleabilities compared with their pioneers (e.g., conducting polymers), organic batteries are still facing many challenges. For example, it is still essential to enhance the theoretical and experimental capacities of organic materials. Moreover, typically, organic materials suffer relatively low conductivity, which limits their rate capability. In addition, many organic materials, especially small molecules, show poor cycling stability because of their dissolution in organic electrolytes. Other requirements, such as high voltage output and low cost, are also crucial for organic batteries. Therefore, insights into fundamentals (e.g., intramolecular and intermolecular interactions) for a deep understanding of organic batteries and constructive strategies ranging from material design to manipulation of other components (e.g., conductive additives, binders, electrolytes, and separators through controlling the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions and manipulating the ionic transport) are of great significance to boost the performance of organic batteries.In this Account, we give an overview of our efforts to develop high performance organic batteries with various strategies from the aspects of molecular design and the manipulation of other components. Inspired by the experience in organic electronics, we proposed that the extension of the π-conjugated system is helpful for stabilizing the +1/-1 charge/discharge states, improving the charge transport, and facilitating the layered packing (good for ionic diffusion) and hence would benefit the rate capability and cyclability. The π-d conjugation can effectively improve the electrical conductivity and provide stable and fast ionic storage, which enriches the materials for high-performance batteries and further deepens the understanding of conjugated coordination polymers (CCPs). Different from inorganic materials, organic materials are composed of molecules (either small molecules, macromolecules, or polymeric molecules) with weak intermolecular interactions. Therefore, the manipulation of active molecules or additives (conductive additives, binders, and other special additives) through control of intermolecular interactions is crucial for enhancing the electrochemical performance of organic batteries. Regarding the possible dissolution of active materials, the modification of separators through addition of selectively permeable membranes as ionic sieves is the most efficient and universal strategy to mitigate the shuttling of dissolved molecules but allow smaller sized cations to pass and hence is able to enhance the cyclability. On the basis of these findings, the challenges and several future trends for organic batteries are discussed. This Account provides a summary of our recent progress, understanding of the fundamentals for high performance organic batteries, insight into the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions, and prospects for future development of organic materials for next-generation rechargeable batteries.
