Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum ion batteries (RAIBs) exhibit great potential for next-generation energy storage systems owing to the abundant resources, high theoretical volumetric capacity and light weight of the Al metal anode. However, the development of RAIBs based on Al metal anodes faces challenges such as dendrite formation, self-corrosion, and volume expansion at the anode/electrolyte interface, which needs the rational design of an aluminum anode for high-performance RAIBs. This work proposes a novel and low-cost strategy by utilizing an alloy electrodeposition method in a low-temperature molten salt system to fabricate an aluminum-tin (AlSn) alloy coating layer on copper foil as the anode for RAIBs, which successfully addresses the issues of dendrite formation and corrosion at the anode/electrolyte interface. The artificial AlSn alloy layer could enhance the active sites for metal Al homogeneous deposition and effectively retard the dendrite formation, which was verified by an in situ optical microscopy study. The symmetric AlSn@Cu cell demonstrates a low average overpotential of ∼38 mV at a current density of 0.5 mA cm-2 and a long-term lifespan of over 1100 h. Moreover, the AlSn@Cu//Mo6S8 full cells deliver a high capacity of 114.9 mA h g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and maintain ultra-stable cycling stability even over 1400 cycles with a ∼100% coulombic efficiency (CE) during the long-term charge/discharge processes. This facile alloy electrodeposition approach for designing high-performance Al-based anodes provides insights into the understanding of artificial interface chemistry on Al-based anodes and potentially accelerates the design of high-performance RAIBs.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202406511.

Abstract
Alkali metals (e.g. Li, Na, and K) and multivalent metals (e.g. Zn, Mg, Ca, and Al) have become star anodes for developing high-energy-density rechargeable batteries due to their high theoretical capacity and excellent conductivity. However, the inevitable dendrites and unstable interfaces of metal anodes pose challenges to the safety and stability of batteries. To address these issues, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as emerging materials, have been widely investigated due to their regular porous structure, flexible molecular design, and high specific surface area. In this minireview, we summarize the research progress of COFs in stabilizing metal anodes. First, we present the research origins of metal anodes and delve into their advantages and challenges as anodes based on the physical/chemical properties of alkali and multivalent metals. Then, special attention has been paid to the application of COFs in the host design of metal anodes, artificial solid electrolyte interfaces, electrolyte additives, solid-state electrolytes, and separator modifications. Finally, a new perspective is provided for the research of metal anodes from the molecular design, pore modulation, and synthesis of COFs.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 664:539-548.

Abstract
The issues of dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reaction, and zinc anode corrosion have significantly hindered the widespread implementation of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, trace amounts of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) additive is introduced into AZIBs to protect the zinc metal anode. Trace amounts of the TEMPO additive with nitroxyl radical can provide fast Zn2+ transport and anode protection ability by forming an adsorbed molecular layer via Zn-O bond. This interface not only provides strong interfacial compatibility and promotes dynamic transport of Zn2+, but also induces deposition of Zn2+ along Zn (002) plane. Additionally, the molecular protective layer significantly inhibits hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and corrosion. The Zn anodes achieve high Coulombic efficiency of up to 99.75 % and long-term plating/stripping of more than 1400 h at 1 mA cm-2 and 0.5 mAh cm-2. The Zn//Zn symmetric cell can operate continuously for 2500 h at a current density of 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mAh cm-2, and it can still last for nearly 1400 h even when the current density is increased to 5 mA cm-2. Furthermore, the Zn//V2O5 full cell using TEMPO/ZnSO4 electrolyte effectively maintains a maximum capacity retention rate of 53.4 % even after 1500 cycles at 5 A/g. This innovative strategy introduces trace additive with free radicals into the electrolyte, which may help to achieve large-scale, ultra-long-life, and low-cost AZIBs.

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

Abstract
Achieving reversible insertion/extraction in most cathodes for aqueous aluminum ion batteries (AAIBs) is a significant challenge due to the high charge density of Al3+ and strong electrostatic interactions. Organic materials facilitate the hosting of multivalent carriers and rapid ions diffusion through the rearrangement of chemical bonds. Here, a bipolar conjugated poly(2,3-diaminophenazine) (PDAP) on carbon substrates prepared via a straightforward electropolymerization method is introduced as cathode for AAIBs. The integration of n-type and p-type active units endow PDAP with an increased number of sites for ions interaction. The long-range conjugated skeleton enhances electron delocalization and collaborates with carbon to ensure high conductivity. Moreover, the strong intermolecular interactions including π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding significantly enhance its stability. Consequently, the Al//PDAP battery exhibits a large capacity of 338 mAh g-1 with long lifespan and high-rate capability. It consistently demonstrates exceptional electrochemical performances even under extreme conditions with capacities of 155 and 348 mAh g-1 at -20 and 45 °C, respectively. In/ex situ spectroscopy comprehensively elucidates its cation/anion (Al3+/H3O+ and ClO4 -) storage with 3-electron transfer in dual electroactive centers (C═N and -NH-). This study presents a promising strategy for constructing high-performance organic cathode for AAIBs over a wide temperature range.

Abstract
Aqueous aluminum-ion batteries are attractive post-lithium battery technologies for large-scale energy storage in virtue of abundant and low-cost Al metal anode offering ultrahigh capacity via a three-electron redox reaction. However, state-of-the-art cathode materials are of low practical capacity, poor rate capability, and inadequate cycle life, substantially impeding their practical use. Here layered manganese oxide that is pre-intercalated with benzoquinone-coordinated aluminum ions (BQ-AlxMnO2) as a high-performance cathode material of rechargeable aqueous aluminum-ion batteries is reported. The coordination of benzoquinone with aluminum ions not only extends interlayer spacing of layered MnO2 framework but reduces the effective charge of trivalent aluminum ions to diminish their electrostatic interactions, substantially boosting intercalation/deintercalation kinetics of guest aluminum ions and improving structural reversibility and stability. When coupled with Zn50Al50 alloy anode in 2 m Al(OTf)3 aqueous electrolyte, the BQ-AlxMnO2 exhibits superior rate capability and cycling stability. At 1 A g-1, the specific capacity of BQ-AlxMnO2 reaches ≈300 mAh g-1 and retains ≈90% of the initial value for more than 800 cycles, along with the Coulombic efficiency of as high as ≈99%, outperforming the AlxMnO2 without BQ co-incorporation.

Abstract
Aqueous aluminum metal batteries (AMBs) have attracted numerous attention because of the abundant reserves, low cost, high theoretical capacity, and high safety. Nevertheless, the poor thermodynamics stability of metallic Al anode in aqueous solution, which is caused by the self-corrosion, surface passivation, or hydrogen evolution reaction, dramatically limits the electrochemical performance and hampers the further development of AMBs. In this comprehensive review, the key scientific challenges of Al anode/electrolyte interface (AEI) are highlighted. A systematic overview is also provided about the recent progress on the rational interface engineering principles toward a relatively stable AEI. Finally, suggestions and perspectives for future research are offered on the optimization of Al anode and aqueous electrolytes to enable a stable and durable AEI, which may pave the way for developing high-performance AMBs.

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
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are one of the most compelling alternatives of lithium-ion batteries due to their inherent safety and economics viability. In response to the growing demand for green and sustainable energy storage solutions, organic electrodes with the scalability from inexpensive starting materials and potential for biodegradation after use have become a prominent choice for AZIBs. Despite gratifying progresses of organic molecules with electrochemical performance in AZIBs, the research is still in infancy and hampered by certain issues due to the underlying complex electrochemistry. Strategies for designing organic electrode materials for AZIBs with high specific capacity and long cycling life are discussed in detail in this review. Specifically, we put emphasis on the unique electrochemistry of different redox-active structures to provide in-depth understanding of their working mechanisms. In addition, we highlight the importance of molecular size/dimension regarding their profound impact on electrochemical performances. Finally, challenges and perspectives are discussed from the developing point of view for future AZIBs. We hope to provide a valuable evaluation on organic electrode materials for AZIBs in our context and give inspiration for the rational design of high-performance AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous aluminum ion batteries (AAIBs) hold significant potential for grid-scale energy storage owing to their intrinsic safety, high theoretical capacity, and abundance of aluminum. However, the strong electrostatic interactions and delayed charge compensation between high-charge-density aluminum ions and the fixed lattice in conventional cathodes impede the development of high-performance AAIBs. To address this issue, this work introduces, for the first time, high-entropy Prussian blue analogs (HEPBAs) as cathodes in AAIBs with unique lattice tolerance and efficient multipath electron transfer. Benefiting from the intrinsic long-range disorder and robust lattice strain field, HEPBAs enable the manifestation of the lattice respiration effect and minimize lattice volume changes, thereby achieving one of the best long-term stabilities (91.2% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1) in AAIBs. Additionally, the interaction between the diverse metal atoms generates a broadened d-band and reduced degeneracy compared with conventional Prussian blue and its analogs (PBAs), which enhances the electron transfer efficiency with one of the best rate performance (79.2 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1) in AAIBs. Furthermore, exceptional element selectivity in HEPBAs with unique cocktail effect can facile tune electrochemical behavior. Overall, the newly developed HEPBAs with a high-entropy effect exhibit promising solutions for advancing AAIBs and multivalent-ion batteries.

Abstract
Aluminum batteries (ABs) are identified as one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of large-scale energy storage elements because of their efficient three-electron reaction. Compared to ionic electrolytes, aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs) are considered safer, less costly, and more environmentally friendly. However, considerable cycling performance is a key issue limiting the development of AAIBs. Stable, efficient, and electrolyte-friendly cathodes are most desirable for AAIBs. Herein, a rod-shaped defect-rich α-MnO2 is designed as a cathode, which is capable to deliver high performance with stable cycling for 180 cycles at 500 mA g-1 and maintains a discharge specific capacity of ≈100 mAh g-1. In addition, the infiltrability simulation is effectively utilized to corroborate the rapid electrochemical reaction brought about by the defective mechanism. With the formation of oxygen vacancies, the dual embedding of protons and metal ions is activated. This work provides a brand-new design for the development and characterization of cathodes for AAIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc (Zn) ions battery is promising for future large-scale applications of energy storage due to the abundant reserves, high capacity of metallic Zn. However, dendritic growth, severe side reactions have limited the development of Zn-metal anodes. A single skeleton structure or interface protection is difficult to simultaneously mitigate these issues. Here, a novel composite design based on the synergistic interaction between the hydrophobic host, the zincophilic interface is reported. On the one hand, the 3D substrate reduces the local current density, inhibits dendritic growth. On the other hand, the protective interface homogenizes the nucleation due to the formation of the ZnAu3 alloy layer. More importantly, the collaborative construction of the hydrophobicity, zincophilicity for the electrode alleviates the aggravated hydrogen evolution reaction (only 2.5 mmol h-1 ), simultaneously enables a low nucleation overpotential (31.7 mV) during cycling. Consequently, a high Coulombic efficiency of ≈98.25% after 300 cycles is harvested for the composite electrode. The pouch cells assembled by this anode, LiMn2 O4 cathode maintain 82 mAh g-1 capacity retention after 140 cycles. This research shows an innovative Zn-based structural design for aqueous Zn-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries are important components for building sustainable energy systems. They usually consist of a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte, and a separator. Recently, the use of solid-state materials as electrolytes has received extensive attention. The solid-state electrolyte materials (as well as the electrode materials) have traditionally been overwhelmingly crystalline materials, but amorphous (disordered) materials are gradually emerging as important alternatives because they can increase the number of ion storage sites and diffusion channels, enhance solid-state ion diffusion, tolerate more severe volume changes, and improve reaction activity. To develop superior amorphous battery materials, researchers have conducted a variety of experiments and theoretical simulations. This review highlights the recent advances in using amorphous materials (AMs) for fabricating lithium-ion and post-lithium-ion batteries, focusing on the correlation between material structure and properties (e.g., electrochemical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal ones). We review both the conventional and the emerging characterization methods for analyzing AMs and present the roles of disorder in influencing the performances of various batteries such as those based on lithium, sodium, potassium, and zinc. Finally, we describe the challenges and perspectives for commercializing rechargeable AMs-based batteries.

Abstract
Metallic Al has been deemed an ideal electrode material for aqueous batteries by virtue of its abundance and high theoretical capacity (8056 mAh cm-3). However, the development of aqueous Al metal batteries has been hindered by several side reactions, including water decomposition, Al corrosion, and passivation, which arise from the solvation reaction of Al and H2O in conventional aqueous electrolytes. In this work, we report that water activity in electrolyte can be suppressed by optimizing the Al3+ solvation structure through intercalation of polar pyridine-3-carboxylic acid in an aluminum trifluoromethanesulfonate aqueous environment. Furthermore, the pyridine-3-carboxylic acid molecules are inclined to alter the surface energy of Al, thus suppressing the random deposition of Al. As a result, the Al corrosion in the hybrid electrolyte is restrained, and the long-term electrochemical stability of the electrolyte is tremendously improved. These merits bring remarkable reversibility to aqueous Al batteries using Al-preintercalated MnO2 cathodes, delivering a retaining energy density of >250 Wh kg-1 at 0.2 A g-1 after 600 cycles.

Abstract
The energy transition to renewables necessitates innovative storage solutions beyond the capacities of lithium-ion batteries. Aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs), particularly their aqueous variants (AAIBs), have emerged as potential successors due to their abundant resources, electrochemical advantages, and eco-friendliness. However, they grapple with achieving their theoretical voltage potential, often yielding less than expected. This perspective article provides a comprehensive examination of the voltage challenges faced by AAIBs, attributing gaps to factors such as the aluminum reduction potential, hydrogen evolution reaction, and aluminum's inherent passivation. Through a critical exploration of methodologies, strategies, such as underpotential deposition, alloying, interface enhancements, tailored electrolyte compositions, and advanced cathode design, are proposed. This piece seeks to guide researchers in harnessing the full potential of AAIBs in the global energy storage landscape.

Abstract
Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) are developing rapidly due to their advantages of safety, moderate energy density, and abundant Zn-metal reserves. However, the dendritic growth and side reactions at the Zn-based anode and the dissolution of metallic elements at transition metal-based cathodes destabilize the electrode/electrolyte interface, which ultimately reduces the electrochemical performance of ZIBs. Herein, an aqueous/organic hybrid electrolyte that endows synergistic cathode/anode interfacial layers is proposed. On the anode, the ZnF2/Zn3(PO4)2-rich film induces the Zn nucleation, enabling a dendrite-free and corrosion-free electrode morphology. On the cathode, in contrast to Zn deposition anomalously on the cathode surface due to underpotential deposition during cycling in the unmodified electrolyte, the obtained interfacial film using the hybrid electrolyte inhibits the dissolution of metallic elements and avoids Zn deposition on the transition metal-based cathode. As a result, a pouch cell with a metallic Zn anode and a LiMn2O4 cathode (depth of discharge: 40%) based on the modified electrolyte maintains a capacity of 92 mAh g-1 after 235 cycles with a stable and clean cathode/anode interface. This research presents insight into the construction of a stable cathode/anode interface for long-cycling ZIBs.

Abstract
Aluminum-ion batteries have garnered an extensive amount of attention due to their superior electrochemical performance, low cost, and high safety. To address the limitation of battery performance, exploring new cathode materials and understanding the reaction mechanism for these batteries are of great significance. Among numerous candidates, multiple structures and valence states make manganese-based oxides the best choice for aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs). In this work, a new cathode consists of γ-MnO2 with abundant oxygen vacancies. As a result, the electrode shows a high discharge capacity of 481.9 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 and a sustained reversible capacity of 128.6 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.4 A g-1. In particular, through density functional theory calculation and experimental comparison, the role of oxygen vacancies in accelerating the reaction kinetics of H+ has been verified. This study provides insights into the application of manganese dioxide materials in aqueous AAIBs.

Abstract
Al batteries are promising post-Li battery technologies for large-scale energy storage applications owing to their low cost and high theoretical capacity. However, one of the challenges that hinder their development is the unsatisfactory plating/stripping of the Al metal anode. To circumvent this issue, an ultrathin MXene layer is constructed on the surface of Al by in situ chemical reactions at room temperature. The as-prepared flexible MXene film acts like armor to protect the Al-metal by its high ionic conductivity and high mechanical flexibility. The MXene endow the Al anode with a long cyclic life of more than 5000 h at ultrahigh current density of 50 mA cm-2 for Al//Al batteries and a retention of 100% over 200 cycles for 355 Wh kg-1 PTO//Al batteries. This work provides fresh insights into the formation and regulation of stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces as well as effective strategies for improving Al metal batteries.

Reducing the Ir-O Coordination Number in Anodic Catalysts based on IrO x Nanoparticles towards Enhanced Proton-exchange-membrane Water Electrolysis. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202313954. [PMID: 37867149 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
Due to the robust oxidation conditions in strong acid oxygen evolution reaction (OER), developing an OER electrocatalyst with high efficiency remains challenging in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolyzer. Recent theoretical research suggested that reducing the coordination number of Ir-O is feasible to reduce the energy barrier of the rate-determination step, potentially accelerating the OER. Inspired by this, we experimentally verified the Ir-O coordination number's role at model catalysts, then synthesized low-coordinated IrOx nanoparticles toward a durable PEM water electrolyzer. We first conducted model studies on commercial rutile-IrO2 using plasma-based defect engineering. The combined in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis and computational studies clarify why the decreased coordination numbers increase catalytic activity. Next, under the model studies' guidelines, we explored a low-coordinated Ir-based catalyst with a lower overpotential of 231 mV@10 mA cm-2 accompanied by long durability (100 h) in an acidic OER. Finally, the assembled PEM water electrolyzer delivers a low voltage (1.72 V@1 A cm-2 ) as well as excellent stability exceeding 1200 h (@1 A cm-2 ) without obvious decay. This work provides a unique insight into the role of coordination numbers, paving the way for designing Ir-based catalysts for PEM water electrolyzers.

Abstract
Aqueous batteries using multivalent metals hold great promise for energy storage due to their low cost, high energy, and high safety. Presently, divalent metals (zinc, iron, nickel, and manganese) prevail as the leading choice, which, however, suffer from low Coulombic efficiency or dendrite growth. In stark contrast, trivalent metals have received rare attention despite their capability to unlock unique redox reactions. Herein, we investigate trivalent indium as an innovative and high-performance metal anode for aqueous batteries. The three-electron In3+/In redox endows a high capacity of ∼700 mAh g-1, on par with the Zn metal. Besides, indium exhibits a suitable redox potential (-0.34 V vs standard hydrogen electrode) and dendrite-free plating process, which renders an ultrahigh Coulombic efficiency of 99.3-99.8%. More surprisingly, it features an exceedingly low polarization of 1 mV in symmetrical cells, which is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than any reported metals. The In-MnO2 full cell also delivers impressive performance, with a cell voltage of ∼1.2 V, a high capacity of ∼330 mAh g-1, and a long cycling time of 680 cycles. Our work exemplifies the efficacy of exploiting trivalent metals as an excellent metal anode, which provides an exciting direction for building high-performance aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are inherently safe, but the severe dendrite growth and corrosion reaction on zinc anodes greatly hinder their practical applications. Most of the strategies for zinc anode modification refer to the research of lithium metal anodes on surface regulation without considering the intrinsic mechanisms of zinc anode. Herein, we first point out that surface modification cannot permanently protect zinc anodes due to the unavoidable surface damage during the stripping process by solid-liquid conversion. A bulk-phase reconstruction strategy is proposed to introduce abundant zincophilic sites both on the surface and inside the commercial zinc foils. The bulk-phase reconstructed zinc foil anodes exhibit uniform surfaces with high zincophilicity even after deep stripping, significantly improving the resistance to dendrite growth and side reactions. Our proposed strategy suggests a promising direction for the development of dendrite-free metal anodes for practical rechargeable batteries with high sustainability.

Abstract
Aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) have been highlighted as a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage due to the abundant reserve, light weight, low cost, and good safety of Al. However, the development of AIBs faces challenges due to the usage of AlCl3-based ionic liquid electrolytes, which are expensive, corrosive, and sensitive to humidity. Here, we develop a low-cost, non-corrosive, and air-stable hydrated eutectic electrolyte composed of aluminum perchlorate nonahydrate and methylurea (MU) ligand. Through optimizing the molar ratio to achieve the unique solvation structure, the formed Al(ClO4)3·9H2O/MU hydrated deep eutectic electrolyte (AMHEE) with an average coordination number of 2.4 can facilely realize stable and reversible deposition/stripping of Al. When combining with vanadium oxide nanorods positive electrode, the Al-ion full battery delivers a high discharge capacity of 320 mAh g-1 with good capacity retention. The unique solvation structure with a low desolvation energy of the AMHEE enables Al3+ insertion/extraction during charge/discharge processes, which is evidenced by in situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction. This work opens a new pathway of developing low-cost, safe, environmentally friendly and high-performance electrolytes for practical and sustainable AIBs.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) represent a promising approach to enabling the widespread integration of intermittent renewable energy. Rapid developments in RFB materials and electrolyte chemistries are needed to meet the cost and performance targets. In this review, special emphasis is given to the recent advances how electrolyte design could circumvent the main thermodynamic restrictions of aqueous electrolytes. The recent success of aqueous electrolyte chemistries has been demonstrated by extending the electrochemical stability window of water beyond the thermodynamic limit, the operating temperature window beyond the thermodynamic freezing temperature of water and crystallization of redox-active materials, and the aqueous solubility beyond the thermodynamic solubility limit. They would open new avenues towards enhanced energy storage and all-climate adaptability. Depending on the constituent, concentration and condition of electrolytes, the performance gain has been correlated to the specific solvation environment, interactions among species and ion association at a molecular level.

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
Aluminum is abundant and exhibits a high theoretical capacity and volumetric energy density. Additionally, the high safety of aqueous aluminum-ion batteries makes them strong candidates for large-scale energystorage systems. However, the frequent collapse of the cathode material and passive oxide film results in the difficult development of aqueous aluminum-ion batteries. This work provides a novel battery system, namely, Al-Zn/Al(OTF)3 +HOTF+Zn(OTF)2 /Alx Zny MnO2 ·nH2 O, with a mixed electrolyte. The cathode applies MnO topology transformation to ensure that the cathode forms Alx MnO2 ·nH2 O. Topology transformation alters the structure of the cathode material so that Zn2+ can be intercalated into the Alx MnO2 ·nH2 O spinel structure to provide support for the material structure. Regarding the anode, Zn2+ in the electrolyte is deposited onto Al of the anode to produce a regional Al-Zn alloy. Zn2+ is reduced to Zn metal during discharging, which adds a platform for secondary discharge beneficial for battery capacity enhancement. This system can provide a 1.6 V discharge platform, while the first cycle discharge can reach 554 mAh g-1 , thereby maintaining a high capacity of 313 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles. This study provides a new idea for the further development of aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs).

Abstract
Artificial nitrogen conversion reactions, such as the production of ammonia via dinitrogen or nitrate reduction and the synthesis of organonitrogen compounds via C-N coupling, play a pivotal role in the modern life. As alternatives to the traditional industrial processes that are energy- and carbon-emission-intensive, electrocatalytic nitrogen conversion reactions under mild conditions have attracted significant research interests. However, the electrosynthesis process still suffers from low product yield and Faradaic efficiency, which highlight the importance of developing efficient catalysts. In contrast to the transition-metal-based catalysts that have been widely studied, the p-block-element-based catalysts have recently shown promising performance because of their intriguing physiochemical properties and intrinsically poor hydrogen adsorption ability. In this Perspective, we summarize the latest breakthroughs in the development of p-block-element-based electrocatalysts toward nitrogen conversion applications, including ammonia electrosynthesis from N2 reduction and nitrate reduction and urea electrosynthesis using nitrogen-containing feedstocks and carbon dioxide. The catalyst design strategies and the underlying reaction mechanisms are discussed. Finally, major challenges and opportunities in future research directions are also proposed.

Abstract
The high cost and scarcity of lithium resources have prompted researchers to seek alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. Among emerging "Beyond Lithium" batteries, rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are yet another attractive electrochemical storage device due to their high specific capacity and the abundance of aluminum. Although the current electrochemical performance of nonaqueous AIBs is better than aqueous AIBs (AAIBs), AAIBs have recently gained attention due to their low cost and enhanced safety. Extensive efforts are devoted to developing AAIBs in the last few years. Yet, it is still challenging to achieve stable electrodes with good electrochemical performance and electrolytes without side reactions. This review summarizes the recent progress in the exploration of anode and cathode materials and the selection of electrolytes of AAIBs. Lastly, the main challenges and future research outlook of high-performance AAIBs are also presented.
