Abstract
Interlayer intercalation engineering shows great feasibility to improve the structure stability of the layered oxides. Although high Zn-storage capability has been attained based on the pillar effect of multifarious intercalants, an in-depth understanding the synergistic effect of intercalated multiple metal ions is still in deficiency. Herein, alkali metal ion K+, alkaline earth metal ion Mg2+ and trivalent metal ion Al3+ are introduced into the VO interlayer of V2O5. Due to the different electronegativity and hydrated ion radius of K+, Mg2+ and Al3+, adjusting the relative proportions of these metal ions can achieve an appropriate interlayer spacing, stable layer structure and regular morphology, which facilitates the transport kinetics of Zn2+. Under the synergistic effect of pre-intercalated multi-metal ion, the optimal tri-metal ion intercalated hydrated V2O5 cathode exhibits a high specific capacity of 382.4 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, and long-term cycling stability with capacity retention of 86 % after 2000 cycles at the high current density of 10 A g-1. Ex-situ and kinetic characterizations reveal the fast charge transfer and reversible Zn2+ intercalation mechanism. The multi-ion engineering strategy provides an effective way to design desirable layered cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries.

Abstract
Interfacial chemistry plays a crucial role in determining the electrochemical properties of low-temperature rechargeable batteries. Although existing interface engineering has significantly improved the capacity of rechargeable batteries operating at low temperatures, challenges such as sharp voltage drops and poor high-rate discharge capabilities continue to limit their applications in extreme environments. In this study, an energy-level-adaptive design strategy for electrolytes to regulate interfacial chemistry in low-temperature Li||graphite dual-ion batteries (DIBs) is proposed. This strategy enables the construction of robust interphases with superior ion-transfer kinetics. On the graphite cathode, the design endues the cathode interface with solvent/anion-coupled interfacial chemistry, which yields an nitrogen/phosphor/sulfur/fluorin (N/P/S/F)-containing organic-rich interphase to boost anion-transfer kinetics and maintains excellent interfacial stability. On the Li metal anode, the anion-derived interfacial chemistry promotes the formation of an inorganic-dominant LiF-rich interphase, which effectively suppresses Li dendrite growth and improves the Li plating/stripping kinetics at low temperatures. Consequently, the DIBs can operate within a wide temperature range, spanning from -40 to 45 °C. At -40 °C, the DIB exhibits exceptional performance, delivering 97.4% of its room-temperature capacity at 1 C and displaying an extraordinarily high-rate discharge capability with 62.3% capacity retention at 10 C. This study demonstrates a feasible strategy for the development of high-power and low-temperature rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
LiPF6 dissolved in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is one of the cheapest groups of electrolyte solutions in dual-ion batteries. Generally, the discharge capacity of anion storage delivered by the graphite cathode grows with increasing LiPF6 concentration. This fact is consistent with the irreversible storage of DMC-solvated PF6-, and then, the underlying mechanism is clarified by the electrochemical tests and ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of graphite cathodes as well as infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy characterizations of solutions. Moreover, quaternary ammonium salts have facile dissociation, which can effectively regulate the solvation state of the anion and the interaction between ion pairs in the electrolyte. A small amount of tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) is introduced into the highly concentrated LiPF6-DMC solution to improve the performance of the graphite cathode. The discharge capacity of the Li/graphite cell has increased by approximately 50%. This effect is also correlated with the solvation state of the anion. This study provides an insightful clue for the choice of electrolyte solution in dual-ion batteries.

Abstract
Zinc metal is recognized as the most promising anode for aqueous energy storage but suffers from severe dendrite growth and poor reversibility. However, the coulombic efficiency lacks specificity for zinc dendrite growth, particularly in Zn||Zn symmetric cells. Herein, a novel indicator (fD) based on the characteristic crystallization peaks is proposed to evaluate the growth and distribution of zinc dendrites. As a proof of concept, triethylenetetramine (TETA) is adopted as an electrolyte additive to manipulate the zinc flux for uniform deposition, with a corroborating low fD value. A highly durable zinc symmetric cell is achieved, lasting over 2500 h at 10 mA cm-2 and 400 h at a large discharge of depth (10 mA cm-2, 10 mAh cm-2). Supported by the low fD value, the Zn||TETA-ZnSO4||MnO2 batteries overcome the sudden short circuit and fast capacity fading. The study provides a feasible method to evaluate zinc dendrites and sheds light on the design of highly reversible zinc anodes.

Abstract
Sulfur is a promising conversion-type cathode for zinc batteries (ZBs) due to its high discharge capacity and cost-effectiveness. However, the redox conversion of multivalent S in ZBs is still limited, only having achieved S0/S2- redox conversion with low discharge voltage and poor reversibility. This study presents significant progress by demonstrating, for the first time, the reversible S2-/S4+ redox behavior in ZBs with up to six-electron transfer (with an achieved discharge capacity of ≈1284 mAh g-1) using a highly concentrated ClO4 --containing electrolyte. The developed succinonitrile-Zn(ClO4)2 eutectic electrolyte stabilizes the positive-valence S compound and contributes to an ultra-low polarization voltage. Notably, the achieved flat discharge plateaus demonstrate the highest operation voltage (1.54 V) achieved to date in Zn‖S batteries. Furthermore, the high-voltage Zn‖S battery exhibits remarkable conversion dynamics, excellent cycling performance (85.7% capacity retention after 500 cycles), high efficiency (98.4%), and energy density (527 Wh kg S -1). This strategy of positive-valence conversion of sulfur represents a significant advancement in understanding sulfur chemistry in batteries and holds promise for future high-voltage sulfur-based batteries.

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
The traditional working principle within lithium-ion batteries relies on Li+ shuttling between the cathode and anode, namely the rocking-chair mechanism. A single working ion constrains the possibilities for battery design and the selection of electrode materials, while realizing multiple working ions offers the potential to break through the fundamental principles of traditional battery construction. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop dual-ion conductors to enable the migration of multiple working ions. This focus article starts by introducing traditional dual-ion batteries based on liquid electrolytes and their pros and cons. Then, solidifying liquid dual-ion conductors is expected to overcome these drawbacks, so the development of solid dual-ion conductors is discussed in detail. Specifically, basic design principles of solid dual-ion conductors are briefly proposed, including constructing continuous ion transport channels and choosing appropriately sized ion carriers. The potential applications of solid dual-ion conductors are also summarized, such as stabilizing the electrode/electrolyte interface and activating additional redox couples. The goal of this article is to inspire researchers in the development of dual-ion conductors and to contribute to the advancement of all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Complex phenomena characterize the intercalation of ions inside stratified crystals. Their comprehension is crucial in view of exploiting the intercalation mechanism to change the transport properties of the crystal or obtaining a fine control of crystal delamination. In particular, the relationship between the concentration and nature of intercalated ions and surface structural modifications of the host stratified crystal is still under debate. Here, we discuss a theoretical effort to provide a rationale for some structural changes observed on the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface after electrochemical treatment in perchloric and sulphuric acid solutions. The formation of the so-called nano-protrusions on the basal plane of intercalated graphite was previously observed with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In this work, we employed both STM and density functional theory (DFT) simulations to elucidate the physical and chemical mechanisms driving the emergence of these nano-protrusions. The DFT results show that, in a bilayer graphene system, the presence of a single ion can generate a nano-protrusion with 2.49 Å height and 21.27 Å width. In the deformed area, the C-C bond length is stretched by about 2.5% more than the normal graphene bond. These values are of the same dimensional scale as those reported in previous STM experimental results.25 However, the simulated STM images obtained by increasing the amount of intercalated ions per area suggest that the presence of more than one ion is needed for the deformation of the uppermost graphite layer during the early stages of intercalation. In contrast, in a multilayer graphene system, no significant surface deformation is detected when ions are intercalated between the third and fourth layers. Charge analysis indicates an altered distribution of the charges as a consequence of the intercalation. The charge transfer from graphene layers to the intercalated ions results in a surface layer more prone to oxidation.

Abstract
Aqueous batteries are promising alternatives to non-aqueous lithium-ion batteries due to their safety, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness. However, their energy density is limited by the narrow electrochemical stability window (ESW) of water. The "Water-in-salts" (WIS) strategy is an effective method to broaden the ESW by reducing the "free water" in the electrolyte, but the drawbacks (high cost, high viscosity, poor low-temperature performance, etc.) also compromise these inherent superiorities. In this review, electrolyte and interphase engineering of aqueous batteries to overcome the drawbacks of the WIS strategy are summarized, including the developments of electrolytes, electrode-electrolyte interphases, and electrodes. First, the main challenges of aqueous batteries and the problems of the WIS strategy are comprehensively introduced. Second, the electrochemical functions of various electrolyte components (e.g., additives and solvents) are summarized and compared. Gel electrolytes are also investigated as a special form of electrolyte. Third, the formation and modification of the electrolyte-induced interphase on the electrode are discussed. Specifically, the modification and contribution of electrode materials toward improving the WIS strategy are also introduced. Finally, the challenges of aqueous batteries and the prospects of electrolyte and interphase engineering beyond the WIS strategy are outlined for the practical applications of aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Graphite-based dual-ion batteries are with potential higher energy density, making them a unique candidate in energy storage systems. However, anion insertion into graphite in aqueous environment remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report that the reversible insertion of Al-Cl superhalide into expanded graphite (EG) delivers an ultrahigh specific capacity of ~171 mAh g-1 from an aqueous deep eutectic solvent (DES) gel electrolyte of 50 m ChCl+5 m AlCl3 . High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) show that the EG generates turbostratic structure during Al-Cl superhalide (de)insertion instead of presenting typical graphite intercalation compounds (GIC), thus attributing to the high capacity during Al-Cl superhalide insertion.

Abstract
In this review, fundamental aspects of the electrochemical intercalation of anions into graphite have been first summarized, and then described the electrochemical preparation of covalent-type GICs and application of graphite as the cathode of dual-ion battery. Electrochemical overoxidation of anion GICs provides graphite oxide and covalent-fluorine GICs, which are key functional materials for various applications including energy storage devices. The reaction conditions to obtain fully oxidized graphite has been mentioned. Concerning the application of graphite for the cathode of dual-ion battery, it stably delivers about 110 mA h g-1 of reversible capacity in usual organic electrolyte solutions. The combination of anion and solvent as well as the concentration of the anions in the electrolyte solutions greatly affect the performance of graphite cathode such as oxidation potential, rate capability, cycling properties, etc. The interfacial phenomenon is also important, and fundamental studies of charge transfer resistance, anion diffusion coefficient, and surface film formation behavior have also been summarized. The use of smaller anions, such as AlCl4 - , Br- can increase the capacity of graphite cathode. Several efforts on the structural modification of graphite and development of electrolyte solutions in which graphite cathode delivers higher capacity were also described.

Abstract
The properties of layered intercalation hybrids are closely related to interlayer molecular packing. To develop functional intercalation hybrids, it is essential to gain deep insights into interlayer molecular packing. This work reports a new comprehensive insight into the controllable multiphase interlayer molecular packing in 4-(phenylazo)benzoate anion-intercalated layered zinc hydroxide (LZH-4-PAB intercalation hybrids). The new insight breaks up the general understanding that the interlayer molecular packing of anions is usually single-phase, lacking diversity and controllability. Furthermore, it uncovers an interesting stepwise rather than the generally expected continuous phase transition of the interlayer molecular packing. The intercalated 4-PAB anions initially organize into the horizontal monolayer packing (θ = 0°, Phase I), which stepwise transforms to the tilted interdigitated antiparallel bilayer packing (θ ≈ 50°, Phase II) along with an increased intercalation loading and eventually to the vertical interdigitated antiparallel bilayer packing (θ = 90°, Phase III). The LZH-4-PAB hybrids exhibited a greatly enhanced interlayer molecular packing-dependent UV-vis absorption. This study provides helpful guidance for developing property-tailored intercalation hybrids. It may attract new interest in more layered intercalation hybrids. New and rich intercalation chemistry might be discovered in more functional intercalation hybrids beyond the 4-PAB anion-intercalated layered zinc hydroxide.

Abstract
The limitations of resources used in current Li-ion batteries may hinder their widespread use in grid-scale energy storage systems, prompting the search for low-cost and resource-abundant alternatives. "Beyond-Li cation" batteries have emerged as promising contenders; however, they confront noteworthy challenges due to the scarcity of suitable host materials for these cations. In contrast, anions, the other crucial component in electrolytes, demonstrate reversible intercalation capacity in specific materials like graphite. The convergence of anion and cation storage has given rise to a new battery technology known as dual-ion batteries (DIBs). This comprehensive review presents the current status, advancements, and future prospects of sustainable DIBs beyond Li. Notably, most DIBs exhibit similar cathode reaction mechanisms involving anion intercalation, while the distinguishing factor lies in the cation types functioning at the anode. Accordingly, the review is organized into sections by various cation types, including Na-, K-, Mg-, Zn-, Ca-, Al-, NH4 + -, and proton-based DIBs. Moreover, a perspective on these novel DIBs is presented, along with proposed protocols for investigating DIBs and promising future research directions. It is envisioned that this review will inspire fresh concepts, ideas, and research directions, while raising important questions to further tailor and understand sustainable DIBs, ultimately facilitating their practical realization.

Abstract
Seeking new cathode chemistry with high onset potential and compatibility with electrolytes has become a challenge for aqueous Zn ion batteries. Anion intercalation in graphite (4.5 V vs Li+ /Li) possesses the potentiality but usually shows a competitive relationship with oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in aqueous solutions. Herein, a decoupled design is proposed to optimize a full utilization of perchlorate ion intercalation in graphite cathode by pH adjustment. Benefiting from the decoupled design, high Coulombic efficiency is obtained by decelerating the kinetic of OER in acidic media. The decoupled Zn-graphite battery exhibits a wide potential window of 2.01 V, as well as an attractive energy density of 231 Wh kg-1 . In addition, a Zn-graphite battery withSO 4 2 - ${\mathrm{SO}}_4^{2 - }$ insertion is assembled, which demonstrates the capability of the proposed decoupled strategy to integrate novel electrode chemistries for high-performance aqueous Zn-based energy storage systems.

Abstract
Aqueous batteries are considered as promising alternative power sources due to their eco-friendly, cost-effective, and nonflammable attributes. Employing organic-based electrode materials offers further advantages toward building greener and sustainable systems, owing to their tunability and environmental friendliness. In order to enhance the energy and power densities, superconcentrated aqueous electrolytes, such as water-in-salt electrolytes (WiSE), have renewed the interest in aqueous batteries due to their enhanced stability and much wider electrochemical stability window (>1.23 V) compared with the traditional aqueous electrolytes. Here, we present a perylene diimide-based electrode material (PDI-Urea) as an appealing anode for aqueous potassium energy storage systems and investigate their electrochemical performance in three WiSE electrolytes, namely, 30 M potassium acetate, 40 M potassium formate and 30 M potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (KFSI). To explore the potential of PDI-Urea for potassium-based electrochemical energy systems, we fabricated full cell devices such as aqueous potassium dual-ion battery (APDIB) and aqueous K-ion battery (AKIB) and studied their electrochemical properties with 30 M KFSI electrolyte. The full cell K-ion battery, using a PBA cathode, exhibited excellent electrochemical performance with good rate capability and impressive capacity retention of 91% upon 1000 cycles. Further, the reaction mechanism of the electrodes is systematically analyzed using ex-situ studies.

Abstract
Considering the extensive resources, flexible structural designability, and abundant active sites, organic electrodes have been considered as the ideal sodium storage materials. However, organic materials generally face the limitations of unstable and dissolved characteristic, leading to a poor cyclic stability. In this work, we proposed a carbon nanotube (CNT) modified polyimide as the anode for sodium-based dual-ion battery (SDIB). The polyimide remains well the structure and morphology of monomer with a stable conjugated structure and high degree of crystallinity, effectively enhancing the electrochemical performance of the SDIBs. Also, the cooperation with CNT particularly improves the ion conductivity of the anode and advances the rate performance. Combined with an ionic liquid electrolyte, the constructed dual-ion battery exhibits excellent rate capability, high specific discharge capacity and stable cycling performance. It delivers a specific discharge capacity of 119.3 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C (1 C=100 mA g-1 ) and still has a specific discharge capacity of 82.3 mA h g-1 even after 1000 cycles at 10 C. Besides, the system displays a low self-discharge rate and stable fast charging performance, which is expected to be applied in the large-scale electrochemical energy storage devices and inspire the future development of SDIBs.

Abstract
Ion intercalation in graphite is widely used in desalination, batteries, and graphene stripping; it has high value in the fields of industry and research. However, selective ion transport, particularly (de)hydration energy and the hydration shell effect on the intercalation of ions into the graphite interlayer spaces, is still unclear. Here, we report low-voltage ion intercalation as observed by electrowetting on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite of an aqueous drop containing various inorganic salts. The electrowetting response exhibits asymmetric behavior with no contact angle change for the negative polarity and a threshold voltage for the onset of the contact angle change for the positive polarity. To explain the asymmetric electrowetting behavior and quantitatively predict the threshold voltage, we developed a physical model based on the hydration shell energy and size of the ion that undergoes partial breaking/deformation during the co-intercalation into the spaces between graphite layers. Electrowetting experiments using ions with various hydration energies and hydration radii were performed to confirm the prediction of the model. Further, we show a strategy to make the electrowetting response of LiCl drops symmetric via tuning the hydration energy of the Li+ ions using a binary solvent of a glycerol-water mixture. This article will provide an understanding of the hydration (solvation) energy dependence intercalation mechanism in graphite for electrowetting, which underpins various processes such as ion battery applications and the graphene exfoliation process.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) are emerging energy storage systems that are poised to replace conventional lithium-ion batteries owing to their intrinsic safety, facile manufacturing process, economic benefits, and superior ionic conductivity. However, the issues of inferior anode reversibility and dendritic plating during operation remain challenging for the practical use of AZMBs. Herein, a gel electrolyte based on zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (poly(SBMA)) dissolved with different concentrations of ZnSO4 is proposed. Two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy based on Raman analysis reveals an enhanced interaction priority between the polar groups in SBMA and the dissolved ions as electrolyte concentration increases, which establishes a robust interaction and renders homogeneous ion distribution. Attributable to the modified coordination, zwitterionic gel polymer electrolyte with 5 mol kg-1 of ZnSO4 (ZGPE-5) facilitates stable zinc deposition and improves anode reversibility. By taking advantage of preferential coordination, a symmetrical cell evaluation employing ZGPE-5 demonstrates a cycle life over 3600 h, where ZGPE-5 also exerts a beneficial effect on the full cell cycling when assembled with Zn0.25 V2 O5 cathode. This study elucidates changes in the internal ion behavior that are dependent on electrolyte concentrations and pave the way for durable AZMBs.

Abstract
Battery performance at subzero is restricted by sluggish interfacial kinetics. To resolve this issue, potassium-based dual-ion batteries (K-DIBs) based on the polytriphenylamine (PTPAn) cathode with anion storage chemistry and the hydrogen titanate (HTO) anode with K+ /solvent co-intercalation mechanism are constructed. Both the PTPAn cathode and the HTO anode do not undergo the desolvation process, which can effectively accelerate the interfacial kinetics at subzero. As revealed by theoretical calculations and experimental analysis, the strong K+ /solvent binding energy in the dilute electrolyte, the charge shielding effect of the crystal water, and the uniform SEI layer with high content of the flexible organic species synergically promote HTO to undergo K+ /solvent co-intercalation behavior. The special co-intercalation mechanism and anion storage chemistry enable HTO||PTPAn K-DIBs with superior rate performance and cycle durability, maintaining a capacity retention of 94.1% after 6000 cycles at -40 °C and 91% after 1000 cycles at -60 °C. These results provide a step forward for achieving high-performance energy storage devices at low temperatures.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) represent a promising energy storage technology, offering a cost-effective safe solution with impressive electrochemical performance. The large combinatorial configuration space of the electrode-electrolyte leads to design challenges. We present a machine learning (ML) approach for accurately predicting the voltage and volume changes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) cathodes upon intercalation with a variety of DIB salts following different mechanisms. Gradient Boosting and XGBoost Regression models trained on the data set demonstrate exceptional performance in voltage and volume change prediction, respectively. The models are further cross-validated and utilized to predict the properties for ∼700 combinations of PAH and DIB salt intercalations, a subset of which is further validated by density functional theory. Using average voltage and volume change for all combinations of PAHs and salts, preferable combinations for high/low voltage requirements along with long-term stability are obtained. Overall, the study shows the applicability of PAHs in DIBs exhibiting good electrochemical performance with low volume change compared to graphite indicative of its potential to overcome the cycling stability issues of DIBs. This research establishes a reliable and broadly applicable ML-based workflow for efficient screening and accelerated design of advanced PAH cathodes and salts, thus driving progress in the field of DIBs.

Abstract
Emerging dual-graphite batteries (DGBs) capture extensive interest for their high output voltage and exceptional cost-effectiveness. Yet, developing electrolytes compatible with both the cathode and anode stands to be a tremendous challenge, and how electrolyte impacts anion and cation intercalation into graphite remains inexplicit or controversial. Herein, we have evaluated the performance of graphite anode and cathode in typical ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) based electrolytes and unveiled their electrode-electrolyte interphase using Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM). The addition of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) brings substantial improvement in cycle stability and Coulombic efficiency for both the graphite cathode and anode, but its implication on cation and anion intercalation differs. FEC is involved in anodic side reactions to produce a LiF-embedded solid-electrolyte interphase layer. It is much thinner and more uniform than that formed in the electrolyte without FEC, which is correlated with less graphite exfoliation and enhanced stability. As for the graphite cathode, both basal and edge planes are largely bare, and only few scattered byproducts are found. In addition, we also reveal layer bending and local lattice disordering of the graphite cathode based on multiple Cryo-TEM images, which are speculated to be caused by high lattice strain induced by anion intercalation and local oxidation under high voltage. The absence of cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers overturns the paradigm of attributing cathodic performance to CEI features and is regarded as a fundamental reason for severe self-discharge of graphite cathode. FEC helps to alleviate graphite exfoliation issues and enhance cycle stability, and we ascribe it to weakened solvation, which means reduced probability of solvent co-intercalation during charging, rather than compositional changes of cathodic byproducts.

Abstract
Conversion-type batteries apply the principle that more charge transfer is preferable. The underutilized electron transfer mode within two undermines the electrochemical performance of halogen batteries. Here, we realised a three-electron transfer lithium-halogen battery based on I- /I+ and Cl- /Cl0 couples by using a common commercial electrolyte saturated with Cl- anions. The resulting Li||tetrabutylammonium triiodide (TBAI3 ) cell exhibits three distinct discharging plateaus at 2.97, 3.40, and 3.85 V. Moreover, it has a high capacity of 631 mAh g-1 I (265 mAh g-1 electrode , based on entire mass loading) and record-high energy density of up to 2013 Wh kg-1 I (845 Wh kg-1 electrode ). To support these findings, experimental characterisations and density functional theory calculations were conducted to elucidate the redox chemistry involved in this novel interhalogen strategy. We believe our paradigm presented here has a foreseeable inspiring effect on other halogen batteries for high-energy-density pursuit.

Abstract
Electrowetting is a simple way to induce the spreading and retraction of electrolyte droplets. This method is widely used in "device" applications, where a dielectric layer is applied between the electrolyte and the conducting substrate. Recent work, including contributions from our own laboratory, have shown that reversible electrowetting can be achieved directly on conductors. We have shown that graphite surfaces, in particular when combined with highly concentrated electrolyte solutions, show a strong wetting effect. The process is driven by the interactions between the electrolyte ions and the surface, hence models of double-layer capacitance are able to explain changes in the equilibrium contact angles. Herein, we extend the approach to the investigation of electrowetting on graphene samples of varying thickness, prepared by chemical vapor deposition. We show that the use of highly concentrated aqueous electrolytes induces a clear yet subtle electrowetting response due to the adsorption of ions and the suppression of the negative effect introduced by the surface impurities accumulating during the transfer process. The latter have been previously reported to fully hinder electrowetting at lower electrolyte concentrations. An amplified wetting response is recorded in the presence of strongly adsorbed/intercalated anions in both aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. The phenomenon is interpreted based on the anion-graphene interactions and their influence on the energetics of the interface. By monitoring the dynamics of wetting, an irreversible behaviour is identified in all cases as a consequence of the irreversibility of anion adsorption and/or intercalation. Finally, the effect of the underlying reactions on the timescales of wetting is also examined.

Abstract
The irreversibility of anion intercalation-deintercalation is a fundamental issue in determining the cycling stability of a dual-ion battery (DIB). In this work, we demonstrate that using a partially fluorinated carbonate solvent can drive a beneficial fluorinated secondary interphase layer formation. Such layer facilitates reversible anion (de-)intercalation processes by impeding solvent molecule co-intercalation and the associated graphite exfoliation. The enhanced reversibility of anion transport contributes to the overall cycling stability for a Zn-graphite DIB-a high Coulombic efficiency of 98.5 % after 800 cycles, with an attractive discharge capacity of 156 mAh g-1 and a mid-point discharge voltage of ≈1.7 V (at 0.1 A g-1 ). In addition, the formed fluorinated secondary interphase suppresses the self-discharge behavior, preserving 29 times of the capacity retention rate compared to the battery with a commonly used carbonate solvent, after standing for 24 hours. This work provides a simple and effective strategy for addressing the critical challenges in graphite-based DIBs and contributes to fundamental understanding to help accelerate their practical application.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been significant interest in the development of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with unique physicochemical properties for various energy applications. These properties are often derived from the phase structures established through a range of physical and chemical design strategies. A concrete analysis of the phase structures and real reaction mechanisms of 2D energy nanomaterials requires advanced characterization methods that offer valuable information as much as possible. Here, we present a comprehensive review on the phase engineering of typical 2D nanomaterials with the focus of synchrotron radiation characterizations. In particular, the intrinsic defects, atomic doping, intercalation, and heterogeneous interfaces on 2D nanomaterials are introduced, together with their applications in energy-related fields. Among them, synchrotron-based multiple spectroscopic techniques are emphasized to reveal their intrinsic phases and structures. More importantly, various in situ methods are employed to provide deep insights into their structural evolutions under working conditions or reaction processes of 2D energy nanomaterials. Finally, conclusions and research perspectives on the future outlook for the further development of 2D energy nanomaterials and synchrotron radiation light sources and integrated techniques are discussed.

Abstract
Anions serve as an essential component of electrolytes, whose effects have long been ignored. However, since the 2010s, we have seen a considerable increase of anion chemistry research in a range of energy storage devices, and it is now understood that anions can be well tuned to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of such devices in many aspects. In this Review, we discuss the roles of anion chemistry across various energy storage devices and clarify the correlations between anion properties and their performance indexes. We highlight the effects of anions on surface and interface chemistry, mass transfer kinetics and solvation sheath structure. Finally, we conclude with a perspective on the challenges and opportunities of anion chemistry for enhancing specific capacity, output voltage, cycling stability and anti-self-discharge ability of energy storage devices.

Abstract
Due to the advantages of dual-ion batteries (DIBs) and abundant resources, potassium-based dual-carbon batteries (K-DCBs) have wide application prospects. However, conventional carbonate ester-based electrolyte systems have obvious drawbacks such as poor oxidation resistance and difficulty in sustaining the anion intercalation process at high voltages, which seriously affect the capacity and cycle performance of K-DCBs. Therefore, a rational design of more efficient novel electrolyte systems is urgently required to realize high-performance K-DCBs. Herein, a solvation structure modulation strategy for the K-DCB electrolyte systems is reported. Consequently, substantial K+ ion storage improvement at the graphite anode and enhanced bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide anion (FSI- ) intercalation capacity at the graphite cathode are successfully realized simultaneously. As a proof-of-concept, the assembled K-DCB exhibited a discharge capacity of 103.4 mAh g-1 , and after 400 cycles, ≈90% capacity retention is observed. Moreover, the energy density of the K-DCB full cell reached 157.6 Wh kg-1 , which is the best performance in reported K-DCBs till date. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of solvation modulation in improving the performance of K-DCBs.

Abstract
Among the promising batteries for electric vehicles, rechargeable Li-air (O2) batteries (LABs) have risen keen interest due to their high energy density. However, safety issues of conventional nonaqueous electrolytes remain the bottleneck of practical implementation of LABs. Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with non-flammable and eco-friendly properties are expected to alleviate their safety concerns, which have become a research focus in the research field of LABs. Herein, we present a systematic review on the progress of SSEs for rechargeable LABs, mainly focusing on the interfacial issues existing between the SSEs and electrodes. The discussion highlights the challenges and feasible strategies for designing suitable SSEs for LABs.

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
The intercalating of anions into cost-effective graphite electrode provides a high operating voltage, therefore, the dual-ion batteries (DIBs) as novel energy storage device has attracted much attention recently. The "graphene in graphite" has always existed in the graphite cathode of DIBs, but has rarely been researched. It is foreseeable that the graphene blisters with the intact lattice structure in the shell can utilize its ultra-high elastic stiffness and reversible lattice expansion for increasing the storage capacity of anions in the batteries. This review proposes an expected "blister model" by introducing the high elasticity of graphene blisters and its possible formation mechanism. The unique blisters composed of multilayer graphene that do not fall off on the graphite surface may become indispensable in nanotechnology in the future development of cathode materials for DIBs.

Abstract
The unique layered structure of graphite with its tunable interlayer distance establishes almost ideal conditions for the accommodation of ions into its structure. The smooth and chemically inert nature of the graphite surface also means that it is an ideal substrate for electrowetting. Here, we combine these two unique properties of this material by demonstrating the significant effect of anion intercalation on the electrowetting response of graphitic surfaces in contact with concentrated aqueous and organic electrolytes as well as ionic liquids. The structural changes during intercalation/deintercalation were probed using in situ Raman spectroscopy, and the results were used to provide insights into the influence of intercalation staging on the rate and reversibility of electrowetting. We show, by tuning the size of the intercalant and the stage of intercalation, that a fully reversible electrowetting response can be attained. The approach is extended to the development of biphasic (oil/water) systems that exhibit a fully reproducible electrowetting response with a near-zero voltage threshold and unprecedented contact angle variations of more than 120° within a potential window of less than 2 V.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) exhibit a distinct set of performance advantages and disadvantages due to their unique storage mechanism. However, the current cyclability/energy density tradeoffs of anion storage paired with the intrinsic required electrolyte loadings of conventional DIBs preclude their widespread adoption as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite this, their reduced desolvation penalty and low-cost electrode materials may warrant their employment for low-temperature and/or grid storage applications. To expand beyond these applications, this Perspective reviews the prospects of solid salt storage and halogen intercalation-conversion as viable methods to increase DIB energy densities to a level on-par with LIBs. Fundamental limitations of conventional DIBs are examined, technology spaces are proposed where they can make meaningful impact over LIBs, and potential strategies are outlined to improve cell-level energy densities necessary for the widespread adoption of DIBs.

Abstract
Fabricating rechargeable batteries for low-temperature (LT) applications is highly desired at high altitudes/latitudes, aerospace/subsea exploration, and defense. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) suffer from severe loss of capacity and energy/power density at sub-zero temperatures caused by the sluggish kinetics. By utilizing both cations and anions as charge carriers, dual-ion batteries (DIBs) become a nascent battery system for LT tolerance by overcoming ion-desolvation during discharge. Here, we summarize recent advances in LT DIBs. To begin with, distinctive advantages of DIBs at LTs are highlighted compared to LIBs, with a special attention to anion (de-)intercalation, and the in-depth understanding of key challenges for LT operation is discussed. The next major section deals with the exciting progress on the advanced strategies to improve the LT performance of DIBs, including alternative electrode materials, reliable electrolyte formulations, and construction of interphase protective layers. Finally, prospects and future developments in this exciting field of LT DIBs are suggested.

Abstract
The solvated structure of a highly concentrated hybrid tetraglyme (G4)-water electrolyte was studied for an increasing cycle stability and performance of a KS6 used dual-ion battery. Hybrid solvent of G4 and water with a weight ratio of 2 to 8 was able to dissolve 9LiFSI-1LiTFSI supporting salts up to 37 mol kg-1 (37 mol kg-1 G2W8). In spite of such high concentration of supporting salts, reasonable charge and discharge performance of dual-ion battery (discharge capacity of ≈40 mAh g-1 and coulombic efficiency of 90 %) were exhibited over 300 cycles. This was attributed to the decreased hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) potential to -1.05 V vs. Ag/AgCl by addition of G4. From Fourier-transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and Raman spectroscopies, G4 molecules were more strongly coordinated to Li+ to form ion pairs of [Li(G4)x (H2 O)y ]+ complex in hybrid G4-water electrolyte. Co-intercalation of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI- ) and bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI- ) into graphitic carbon KS6 cathode was confirmed in hybrid aqueous electrolyte.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) based on anion (de)intercalation into low-cost graphitic carbon cathodes hold great promise in grid-scale energy storage. Different from the electrolyte in rocking-chair batteries, which only serves as a charge transporter, both cations and anions in the electrolyte for DIBs participate in battery reactions. Hence, the impact of the electrolyte formulation on cycle life, energy density, as well as cost has become a subject of vital importance. This review discussed the challenges and recent progress of electrolytes for DIBs, with a particular focus on the exploration of electrolytes with high oxidation stability, high salt concentration, high ionic conductivity, and low cost. Moreover, the influence of varied ion concentrations at different state-of-charge levels on the electrolyte properties such as ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability is analyzed. Finally, perspectives on the current limitations and future research directions of electrolytes for DIBs are provided.

Abstract
Environmental and safety concerns of energy storage systems call for application of aqueous battery systems which have advantages of low cost, environmental benignity, safety, and easy assembling. Among the aqueous battery systems, aqueous dual-ion batteries (ADIBs) provide high possibility for achieving excellent battery performance. Compared with the "rocking chair" batteries with only one type of carrier involved in the charging and discharging, ADIBs with both cations and anions as charge carriers possess diverse selections of electrodes and electrolytes. Charge carriers are the basis of the configuration of ADIBs. In this Review, cations and anions that could be applied in ADIBs are demonstrated with corresponding electrode materials and favorable electrolytes. Some insertion mechanisms are emphasized to provide insights for the possibilities to enhance the practical performances of ADIBs.

Abstract
The working mechanism of a dual-ion battery (DIB) differs from that of a lithium-ion battery (LIB) in that the anions in the electrolyte of the former can be intercalated as well. Researchers have been paying close attention to this device because of its high voltage, low price, and environmental friendliness. However, DIBs are still in their early research stages, and numerous issues need to be addressed and investigated further. Initially, this Review explains how DIBs work in principle and discusses the progress of electrode materials for cathode and anode. Furthermore, since the electrolytes used as the active material, as well as anion, solvent, and additives, have a significant impact on the DIB's capacity and voltage, the current status is also presented in terms of electrolytes, followed by an outlook on confronting the challenges. A comprehensive summary from electrode to electrolyte will guide the development of next-generation DIBs.

Abstract
Zn-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have enormous potential in realizing high-performance zinc-ion batteries. Polymeric single-ion conductor (PSIC)-based SPEs can largely eradicate anion migration and side reactions of electrodes with decreased polarization, but the ionic conductivity is still unsatisfactory due to the tight localized ion interactions and sluggish chain motion. Herein, by employing the heterocyclic tetrazole as the anionic center of the side chain, a novel PSIC is fabricated with optimized charge delocalization and enhanced side-chain motion. The as-prepared PSIC delivers an ionic conductivity up to 5.4 × 10-4 S cm-1 with an ultrahigh Zn2+ transference number of 0.94. Based on the PSIC, dendrite-free and hydrogen-free Zn plating/stripping cycling (2000 h) is achieved. A further assembled Zn‖V2 O5 battery exhibits superior performances to other solid ZIBs, including a high discharge capacity, excellent rate capability, and long cycling life. In addition, a remarkable shelf-life (90 d), low self-discharge rate, and good temperature adaptability of the solid battery can be achieved benefiting from the high stability of the SPE during operation. The PSIC-based SPEs with advanced ion-transport structure endow solid ZIBs with significant performance improvement, high safety, and durability.

Abstract
Sodium-based dual-ion batteries have shown great promise for large-scale energy storage applications due to their wide operating voltages, environmental friendliness, abundant sodium resources, and low cost, which are widely investigated by researchers. However, the development of high-performance anode materials is a key requirement for the realization of such electrochemical energy storage systems at the practical application level. Carbonaceous anode materials based on intercalation/deintercalation mechanisms typically exhibit low discharge capacities, while metal-based materials based on conversion or alloying reactions show unsatisfactory stability in performance. On the contrary, organic materials display high theoretical capacities due to their flexible molecular structure designability and stable cyclic performance with fast reaction kinetics based on the unique enolization reaction. Herein, we report an organic polymer anode material of polyimide (PNTO), combined with a high-concentration electrolyte; the sodium-based dual-ion battery system constructed exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance. The full battery shows an ultra-high specific discharge capacity of 293.2 mAh g-1 and can be cycled stably for 3200/5600/4100 cycles at ultra-high rates of 60/120/150 C without degradation. Furthermore, the dual-ion battery system demonstrates an extremely low self-discharge rate of 0.03% h-1 and superior fast-charging-slow-discharging performance. It is one of the best performances reported up to now for a dual-ion full battery based on an organic polymer anode. This novel battery system design strategy will facilitate the advancement of high-performance organic-based dual-ion batteries and is expected to be a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage applications.

Abstract
Numerous studies have shown flexible electronics play important roles in health management. The way of power supply is always an essential factor of devices and self-powered ones are very attractive because of the fabrication easiness, usage comfort and aesthetics of the system. In this work, based on the metal-air redox reaction, which is usually used in designing metal-air batteries, we design a self-powered chemoelectric humidity sensor where a silk fibroin (SF) and LiBr gel matrix containing parallel aligned graphene oxide (GO) flakes serve as the electrolyte. The abundant hydrophilic groups in GO/SF and the hygroscopicity of LiBr lead to tight dependence of the output current on the humidity, enabling the sensor high sensitivity (0.09 μA/s/1%), fast response (1.05 s) and quick recovery (0.80 s). As proofs of concept, we design an all-in-one respiratory monitoring-diagnosing-treatment system and a non-contact human-machine interface, demonstrating the applications of the chemoelectric humidity sensor in health management. Self-powered sensors are of interest in wearable technology and other applications. Here, the authors report on the creation of a metal-air redox reaction humidity sensor where the conductance and charge generated is influenced by the amount of absorbed water and demonstrate application in respiration monitoring.

Abstract
Uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth and parasitic reactions have greatly hindered the development of high energy and long life rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Herein, the synergic effect of a bifunctional lignin-containing cellulose nanofiber (LCNF)-MXene (LM) layer to stabilize the interface of zinc anode is reported. On one hand, the LCNF provides enough strength (43.7 MPa) at relative low porosity (52.2%) to enable the diffusion limited dendrite suppression, while, on the other hand, the MXene serves as a zinc gating layer, facilitating the zinc ion mobility, restricting the active water/anions from degradation in the electrode/electrolyte interface, and epitaxially guiding zinc deposition along (002) plane. Benefiting from the synergic effect of diffusion limited dendrite suppression and zinc gate, the LM layer enabled a high coulombic efficiency (CE) of 98.9% with a low overpotential of 43.1 mV at 1 mA cm-2 in Zn//Cu asymmetric cells. More importantly, Zn//MnO2 full cells with the LM layer achieve a high-capacity retention of 90.0% for over 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1 , much higher than the full cell without the protective layer (73.9% over 500 cycles). The work provides a new insight in designing a dendrite-free zinc anode for long-cycle-life batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous batteries that use metal anodes exhibit maximum anodic capacity, whereas the energy density is still unsatisfactory partially due to the high redox potential of the metal anode. Current metal anodes are plagued by the dilemma that the redox potential of Zn is not low enough, whereas Al, Mg, and others with excessively low redox potential cannot work properly in aqueous electrolytes. Mn metal with a suitably low redox potential is a promising candidate, which was rarely explored before. Here, we report a rechargeable aqueous Mn-metal battery enabled by a well-designed electrolyte and robust inorganic-organic interfaces. The inorganic Sn-based interface with a bottom-up microstructure was constructed to preliminarily suppress water decomposition. With this bubble-free interface, the organic interface can be formed via an esterification reaction of sucrose triggered by acyl chloride in the electrolyte, generating a dense physical shield that isolates water while permitting Mn2+ diffusion. Hence, a Mn symmetric cell achieves a superior plating/stripping stability for 200 hours, and a Mn||V2 O5 battery maintains approximately 100 % capacity after 200 cycles. Moreover, the Mn||V2 O5 battery realizes a much higher output voltage than that of the Zn||V2 O5 battery, evidencing the possibility of increasing the energy density through using a Mn anode. This work develops a systematic strategy to stabilize a Mn-metal anode for Mn-metal batteries, opening a new door towards enhanced voltage of aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (RAIBs) are highly sought after due to the extremely high resource reserves and theoretical capacity (2980 mA h/g) of metal aluminum. However, the lack of ideal cathode materials restricts its practical advancement. Here, we report a conductive polymer, polyphenylene, which is produced by the polymerization of molecular benzene as a cathode material for RAIBs with an excellent electrochemical performance. In electrochemical redox, polyphenylene is oxidized and loses electrons to form radical cations [C6H4]3n+ and intercalates with [AlCl4]- anion to achieve electrical neutrality and realize electrochemical energy storage. The stable structure of polyphenylene makes its discharge specific capacity reach 92 mA h/g at 100 mA/g; the discharge plateau is about 1.4 V and exhibits an excellent rate performance and long cycle stability. Under the super high current density of 10 A/g (∼85 C), the charging can be completed in 25 s, and the capacities have almost no decay after 30,000 cycles. Aluminum polyphenylene batteries have the potential to be used as low-cost, easy-to-process, lightweight, and high-capacity superfast rechargeable batteries for large-scale stationary power storage.

Abstract
The anode-free battery concept is proposed to pursue the aspiration of energy-dense, rechargeable metal batteries, but this has not been achieved with dual-ion batteries. Herein, the first anode-free Zn-graphite battery enabled by efficient Zn plating-stripping onto a silver-coated Cu substrate is demonstrated. The silver coating guides uniform Zn deposition without dendrite formation or side reaction over a wide range of electrolyte concentrations, enabling the construction of anode-free Zn cells. In addition, the graphite cathode operates efficiently under reversible bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (TFSI- ) intercalation without anodic corrosion. An extra high-potential TFSI- intercalation plateau is recognized at 2.75 V, contributing to the high capacity of graphite cathode. Thanks to efficient Zn plating-stripping and TFSI- intercalation-deintercalation, an anode-free Zn-graphite dual-ion battery that exhibits impressive cycling stability with 82% capacity retention after 1000 cycles is constructed. At the same time, a specific energy of 79 Wh kg-1 based on the mass of cathode and electrolyte is achieved, which is over two times higher than conventional Zn-graphite batteries (<30 Wh kg-1 ).
