Abstract
Chemical vapor generation (CVG) was used as a gaseous sample introduction technique for the visual/smartphone RGB readout colorimetric system, with the advantages of efficient matrix elimination and high vapor generation efficiency, this analytical system exhibits a good selectivity and sensitivity. Sulfide ion (S2-) in solution was transformed to its volatile form (H2S), the generated H2S reacted with a silver-containing metal organic framework (Ag-BTC) selectively, Ag2S was thus generated. Ag-BTC (fabricated on paper sheet) changed from white to dark brown, the color variance was identified by smartphone and naked-eye simultaneously. Under the optimized conditions, a limit of detection of 0.02 μg/mL was obtained by naked-eye. Several water samples and commercial food additives were analyzed for confirming its accuracy and potential application for on-site detection, recoveries ranging 94-110 % were obtained. To meet the demand of on-site analysis of S2-, this colorimetric system was integrated in a portable/miniaturized analytical kit. It is an easy-used, affordable and portable analytical kit for S2- detection in field.

Abstract
Low-cost and nontoxic deep eutectic liquid electrolytes (DELEs), such as [AlCl3]1.3[Urea] (AU), are promising for rechargeable non-aqueous aluminum metal batteries (AMBs). However, their high viscosity and sluggish ion transport at room temperature lead to high cell polarization and low specific capacity, limiting their practical application. Herein, non-solvating 1,2-difluorobenzene (dFBn) is proposed as a co-solvent of DELEs using AU as model to construct a locally concentrated deep eutectic liquid electrolyte (LC-DELE). dFBn effectively improves the fluidity and ion transport without affecting the ionic dynamics in the electrolyte. Moreover, dFBn also modifies the solid electrolyte interphase growing on the aluminum metal anodes and reduces the interfacial resistance. As a result, the lifespan of Al/Al cells is improved from 210 to 2000 h, and the cell polarization is reduced from 0.36 to 0.14 V at 1.0 mA cm-2. The rate performance of Al-graphite cells is greatly improved with a polarization reduction of 0.15 and 0.74 V at 0.1 and 1 A g-1, respectively. The initial discharge capacity of Al-sulfur cells is improved from 94 to 1640 mAh g-1. This work provides a feasible solution to the high polarization of AMBs employing DELEs and a new path to high-performance low-cost AMBs.

Abstract
There are various methods being tried to address the sluggish kinetics observed in Al-ion batteries (AIBs). They mostly deal with morphology tuning, but have led to limited improvement. A new approach is proposed to overcome this limitation. It focuses on the use of a redox additive modified electrolyte in combination with framework like materials, which have wider channels. The ordered microporous and interconnected framework of ZIF 67, with large surface area, effectively facilitates the diffusion of aluminum ions. Therefore, AIBs are able to exhibit a superior discharge capacity of 288 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 current density with robust cycling stability. The addition of potassium ferricyanide as a redox-active species in an aqueous solution of aluminum chloride (supporting electrolyte) leads to significant enhancement in the specific capacity with much higher cycling stability. Al-ion based BatCap devices can be assembled by using ZIF 67 as the cathode, ZIF 67 derived porous carbon as the anode, and a redox additive modified electrolyte. The BatCap device exhibits excellent energy density of 86 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 2 KW kg-1, which is higher than reported aqueous AIBs. The ex situ characterization clearly explains the unexplored mechanism of redox additives in AIBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum battery (RAB) is expected to be a promising energy storage technique for grid-scale energy storage. However, the development of RABs is seriously plagued by the lack of suitable cathode materials. Herein, we report two p-type conjugated polymers of L-PBPz and C-PBPz with the same building blocks of diphenylphenazine but different linkage patterns of linear and crosslinked structures as the cathode materials for Al dual-ion batteries. Compared to the linear polymer skeleton in L-PBPz, the crosslinked structure endows C-PBPz with amorphous nature and low dihedral angles of the polymer chains, which severally contribute to the fast diffusion of AlCl4 - with large size and the electron transfer during the redox reaction of diphenylphenazine. As a result, C-PBPz delivers a much better rate performance than L-PBPz. The crosslinked structure also leads to a stable cyclability with over 80000 cycles for C-PBPz. Benefiting from the fast kinetics, meanwhile, the C-PBPz cathode could realize a high redox activity of 117 mAh g-1, corresponding to an areal capacity of 2.30 mAh cm-2, even under a high mass loading of 19.7 mg cm-2 and a low content of 10 wt% conductive agent. These results might boost the development of polymer cathodes for RABs.

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
Aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) have become a research hotspot in the field of energy storage due to their high energy density, safety, environmental friendliness, and low cost. However, the actual capacity of AIBs is much lower than the theoretical specific capacity, and their cycling stability is poor. The exploration of energy storage mechanisms may help in the design of stable electrode materials, thereby contributing to improving performance. In this work, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was selected as the host material for AIBs, and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were used as the substrate to prepare a molybdenum disulfide/carbon nanofibers (MoS2/CNFs) electrode, exhibiting a residual reversible capacity of 53 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 260 cycles. The energy storage mechanism was understood through a combination of electrochemical characterization and first-principles calculations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the diffusion behavior of ions in different channels in the host material and its potential energy storage mechanism. The computational analysis and experimental results indicate that the electrochemical behavior of the battery is determined by the ion transport mechanism between MoS2 layers. The insertion of ions leads to lattice distortion in the host material, significantly impacting its initial stability. CNFs, serving as a support material, not only reduce the agglomeration of MoS2 grown on its surface, but also effectively alleviate the volume expansion caused by the host material during charging and discharging cycles.

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
ConspectusSulfur-based cathode materials have become a research hot spot as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation, high-energy lithium batteries. However, the insulating nature of elemental sulfur or organosulfides has become the biggest challenge that leads to dramatic degradation and hinders their practical application. The disadvantage is more obvious for all-solid-state battery systems, which require both high electronic and ionic migration at the same sites to realize a complete electrochemical reaction. In addition to adding conductive components into the cathode composites, another effective way to realize high-reversibility sulfur-based cathodes is by optimizing the inherent nature of sulfur-based materials to make them "conductive". Inorganic polysulfide materials including polysulfide molecules, selenium-sulfur solid solutions, and (lithium) metal polysulfides are promising, as they have different structures that can make them intrinsically conductive or becoming conductive during lithiation. They all contain at least one -S-S- bridged bond, which is the intrinsic structural characteristic and the source of the chemical properties of these polysulfide compounds. For example, by balancing the conductivity and reversible capacity, researchers in the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have shown that 500 Wh/kg solid-state Li-Se/S batteries can power cars and even electric aircraft.We have long been focusing on the inorganic polysulfide component, reported the selenium-sulfur solid solutions, the first sulfur-rich phosphorus polysulfide molecules, and followed the research of metal polysulfide components. The proposed Account summarizes our current knowledge of the fundamental aspects of inorganic polysulfides in energy storage systems based on state-of-the-art publications on this topic. Both fast electron and ion migrations within the electrode materials are vital to achieving high-energy batteries. We begin by illustrating effective approaches to enhance the electronic/ionic conductivity of sulfur-based electrode materials. We then present some basic observations and properties (especially the intrinsic high conductivities) of the inorganic polysulfide electrode materials. The key chemical and structural factors dictating their conductive and electrochemical behaviors will be discussed. Finally, we show the advantages and broad applications of inorganic polysulfides in energy storage areas. The proposed Account will provide an insightful perspective on the current knowledge of inorganic polysulfide materials, as well as their future research directions and development potential, serving as a keynote reference for researchers in the field of energy storage.

Abstract
The strong electrostatic interaction between high-charge-density zinc ions (112 C mm-3 ) and the fixed crystallinity of traditional oxide cathodes with delayed charge compensation hinders the development of high-performance aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Herein, to intrinsically promote electron transfer efficiency and improve lattice tolerance, a revolutionary family of high-entropy oxides (HEOs) materials with multipath electron transfer and remarkable structural stability as cathodes for AZIBs is proposed. Benefiting from the unique "cock-tail" effect, the interaction of diverse type metal-atoms in HEOs achieves essentially broadened d-band and lower degeneracy than monometallic oxides, which contribute to convenient electron transfer and one of the best rate-performances (136.2 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1 ) in AZIBs. In addition, the intense lattice strain field of HEOs is highly tolerant to the electrostatic repulsion of high-charge-density Zn2+ , leading to the outstanding cycling stability in AZIBs. Moreover, the super selectability of elements in HEOs exhibits significant potential for AZIBs.

However, the unsatisfactory magnesium-storage capability caused by the typical alloying reaction mechanism severely restricts the practical option for anodes in rMBs. Herein, polyaniline intercalated Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets are prepared by an effective interlayer engineering strategy to fine-tune the layer structure of Bi2O2CO3, achieving enhanced magnesium-storage capacity, rate performance, as well as long cycle life. Excitedly, a stepwise insertion-conversion-alloying reaction is aroused to stabilize the performance, which is elucidated by in/ex situ investigations. Moreover, first-principles calculations confirm that the coupling of Bi2O2CO3 and polyaniline not only increases the conductivity induced by the strong density of states and the interior self-built-in electric field but also significantly reduces the energy barrier of Mg shuttles. Our findings shed light on exploring new electrode materials with an appropriate working mechanism toward high-performance rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Porous carbon spheres (PCSs) characteristic of perfect symmetry and ideal rheological property have great potential in electrochemical energy storage (EES). However, conventional synthesis of PCSs heavily relies on solution-based methods that may lead to environmental issues. Herein, an environment-friendly solvent-free method toward the facile and mass production of m-phenylenediamine-formaldehyde (MPF) resin spheres, which can be converted into PCSs after carbonization and activation is reported. An ultrahigh productivity of 25.89 g in a 100-mL container and an impressive percent yield of 98.89% can be achieved for the MPF resin spheres, which are further converted into carbon spheres with a reasonable yield of 14.5% after carbonization. When employed as the cathode material for aluminum-ion hybrid capacitors, the obtained PCSs afford a double-layer capacity of ≈200 mAh g-1 , the highest value among reported porous carbon materials for Al-based EES devices. It is anticipated that the solvent-free synthesis method for PCSs developed here may play a significant role in other EES devices, such as magnesium-ion and calcium-ion hybrid capacitors.

Abstract
Aluminum (Al) metal is an attractive anode material for next-generation rechargeable batteries, because of its low cost and high capacities. However, it brings some fundamental issues such as dendrites, low Coulombic efficiency (CE), and low utilization. Here, we propose a strategy for constructing an ultrathin aluminophilic interface layer (AIL) to regulate the Al nucleation and growth behaviors, which enables highly reversible and dendrite-free Al plating/stripping under high areal capacity. Metallic Al can maintain stable plating/stripping on the Pt-AIL@Ti for over 2000 h at 10 mAh cm-2 with an average CE of 99.9%. The Pt-AIL also enables reversible Al plating/stripping at a record high areal capacity of 50 mAh cm-2, which is 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than the previous studies. This work provides a valuable direction for further construction of high-performance rechargeable Al metal batteries.

Abstract
We synthesize and characterize a rechargeable aluminum battery cathode material composed of heterostructured Co3Se4/ZnSe embedded in a hollow carbon matrix. This heterostructure is synthesized from a metal-organic framework composite, in which ZIF-8 is grown on the surface of ZIF-67 cube. Both experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the internal electric field across the heterostructure interface between Co3Se4 and ZnSe promotes the fast transport of electron and Al-ion diffusion. As a result, the heterostructured Co3Se4/ZnSe demonstrates superior specific capacity and cycle stability compared to the single-phase Co3Se4 and ZnSe cathode materials.

Abstract
Due to the unique electronic structure of aluminum ions (Al3+ ) with strong Coulombic interaction and complex bonding situation (simultaneously covalent/ionic bonds), traditional electrodes, mismatching with the bonding orbital of Al3+ , usually exhibit slow kinetic process with inferior rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) performance. Herein, to break the confinement of the interaction mismatch between Al3+ and the electrode, a previously unexplored Se2.9 S5.1 -based cathode with sufficient valence electronic energy overlap with Al3+ and easily accessible structure is potentially developed. Through this new strategy, Se2.9 S5.1 encapsulated in multichannel carbon nanofibers with free-standing structure exhibits a high capacity of 606 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 , high rate-capacity (211 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 ), robust stability (187 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 3,000 cycles), and enhanced flexibility. Simultaneously, in/ex-situ characterizations also reveal the unexplored mechanism of Sex Sy in RABs.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) are a promising large-scale energy-storage technology with low cost and high reliability. However, developing high-performance cathode materials remains the most prominent obstacle because of the insufficient magnesium-storage active sites and unfavorable magnesium cation transport paths, as well as the strong interaction between the cathode material and the bivalent magnesium cation. Herein, ammonium tetrathiomolybdate is demonstrated to be a high-performance RMB cathode material. Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate exhibits a high capacity of 333 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and a good rate performance of 129 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 (∼15 C). An amorphous structure with plenty of efficient magnesium-storage active sites and open magnesium transport paths is in situ formed during the first cycle via ammonium extraction. The covalent-like bond between the molybdenum and sulfur delocalizes the negative charge, weakening the interaction with the bivalent magnesium cation and accelerating the kinetics. The covalent-like molybdenum-sulfur bond also promotes the simultaneous redox of molybdenum and sulfur, leading to a high specific capacity. The present work introduces a high-capacity and high-power RMB cathode material, elucidates the origin of the high performance, and provides insights for the design and optimization of RMB cathode materials.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs), with abundant aluminum reserves, low cost, and high safety, give them outstanding advantages in the postlithium batteries era. However, the high charge density (364 C mm-3 ) and large binding energy of three-electron-charge aluminum ions (Al3+ ) de-intercalation usually lead to irreversible structural deterioration and decayed battery performance. Herein, to mitigate these inherent defects from Al3+ , an unexplored family of superlattice-type tungsten selenide-sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) (S-WSe2 ) cathode in RABs with a stably crystal structure, expanded interlayer, and enhanced Al-ion diffusion kinetic process is proposed. Benefiting from the unique advantage of superlattice-type structure, the anionic surfactant SDBS in S-WSe2 can effectively tune the interlayer spacing of WSe2 with released crystal strain from high-charge-density Al3+ and achieve impressively long-term cycle stability (110 mAh g-1 over 1500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 ). Meanwhile, the optimized S-WSe2 cathode with intrinsic negative attraction of SDBS significantly accelerates the Al3+ diffusion process with one of the best rate performances (165 mAh g-1 at 2.0 A g-1 ) in RABs. The findings of this study pave a new direction toward durable and high-performance electrode materials for RABs.

Abstract
Typically, volume expansion of the electrodes after intercalation of active ions is highly undesirable yet inetvitable, and it can significantly reduce the adhesion force between the electrodes and current collectors. Especially in aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs), the intercalation of large-sized AlCl4 - can greatly weaken this adhesion force and result in the detachment of the electrodes from the current collectors, which seems an inherent and irreconcilable problem. Here, an interesting concept, the "dead zone", is presented to overcome the above challenge. By incorporating a large number of OH- and COOH- groups onto the surface of MXene film, a rich negative-charge region is formed on its surface. When used as the current collector for AIBs, it shields a tiny area of the positive electrode (adjacent to the current collector side) from AlCl4 - intercalation due to the repulsion force, and a tiny inert layer (dead zone) at the interface of the positive electrode is formed, preventing the electrode from falling off the current collector. This helps to effectively increase the battery's cycle life to as high as 50 000 times. It is believed that the proposed concept can be an important reference for future development of current collectors in rocking chair batteries.

Abstract
The fabrication of cathode materials with ideal kinetic behavior is important to improve the electrochemical performance of aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs). Transition metal selenides have the advantages of abundant reserves and high discharge specific capacity and discharge voltage plateau, which makes them a promising material for rechargeable AIBs. It is well-known that the low structural stability and relatively poor reaction kinetics pose a considerable challenge to the development of AIBs. The cubic structure of Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se can adapt to the volume change of the active material during cycling and facilitate the intercalation and deintercalation of chloroaluminate anions in the cathode material. We created a two-fold protection mechanism for AIBs with a CMK-3 modified separator and a Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se heterojunction coated with MXene in order to better mitigate the detrimental impacts. In addition to offering numerous electronic transmission routes, MXene and CMK-3 help prevent the solubilization of active species. This novel design enables the Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se@MXene composite to have a high initial discharge capacity of 705.5 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1. Even after 1500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1, the capacity is still maintained at 225.1 mAh g-1. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of AlCl4- intercalated/deintercalated into Cu2Se-Cu1.8Se heterojunction is revealed during charge/discharge. This work to construct novel cathode materials has greatly improved the electrochemical performance of AIBs.

Abstract
Solid-state Li-O2 batteries (SSLOBs) have attracted considerable attention because of their high energy density and superior safety. However, their sluggish kinetics have severely impeded their practical application. Despite efforts to design highly efficient catalysts, efficient oxygen reaction evolution at gas-solid interfaces and fast transport pathways in solid-state electrodes remain challenging. Here, we develop a dual electronic-ionic microenvironment to substantially enhance oxygen electrolysis in solid-state batteries. By designing a lithium-decorative catalyst with an engineering crystal structure, the coordinatively unsaturated sites and high concentration of defects alleviate the limitations of electronic-ionic transport in solid interfaces and create a balanced gas-solid microenvironment for solid-state oxygen electrolysis. This strategy facilitates oxygen reduction reaction, mediates the transport of reaction species, and promotes the decomposition of the discharge products, contributing to a high specific capacity with a stable cycling life. Our work provides previously unknown insight into structure-property relationships in solid-state electrolysis for SSLOBs.

Abstract
Transition metal selenides have shown outstanding performance as cathode materials for aluminum-ion batteries and have thus become a popular choice for cathode materials. Herein, Mn-based carbon fibers (Mn/CNFs) were first synthesized by electrospinning as a precursor, and then MnSe composites were prepared by a melt-diffusion method. However, due to polyselenides and selenides being generated during electrochemical reactions, the cycling stability of MnSe cathode materials is poor. After 200 cycles, the discharge specific capacity is only 176 mA h/g. To suppress the shuttle effect of selenides and polyselenides, a CMK-3-modified separator was used instead of a glass fiber separator. Compared with MnSe-800, the replaced MnSe-800/CMK-3 has a great capacity improvement; the initial discharge specific capacity is 1029.85 mA h/g, which after 3000 cycles, still remains at 297.84 mA h/g. The soft pack battery can still light up the LED normally under different degrees of folding, which proves the application of this material in wearable devices. This work provides a new way to improve the performance of transition metal selenides.

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

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum-ion (Al-ion) batteries have important potential for fast charging and safe energy-storage systems. Here, we develop a composite composed of lamellar V2O3@C nanosheets, which displays high electrochemical properties as an Al-ion battery cathode. The unique structure is conducive to the rapid insertion and release of Al3+ ions, electrolyte infiltration, and improved conductivity. After cycling 500 times, the capacity exceeds 242.5 mA h g-1. Under a low temperature of -10 °C, the capacity remains 150.8 mA h g-1, and the Coulombic efficiency is higher than 98.8%. The V2O3@C also exhibits a good reversibility verified by using ex situ X-ray powder diffraction patterns, while the constant current intermittent titration technology shows a low reaction barrier, which indicates that the lamellar composite presented here could find significant applications for engineering many high-performance energy-storage systems.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium/sulfide batteries are considered as next-generation high-energy-density batteries with unrivaled safety. However, sulfide cathodes generally suffer from insulating properties and huge volume expansion in all-solid-state lithium batteries. Based on amorphous TiS4 (a-TiS4), a certain proportion of Super P is introduced to suppress the volume expansion and increase the electronic conductivity. Meanwhile, a Li7P3S11 solid electrolyte is in situ coated on the surface of 20% Super P/a-TiS4, and the close interfacial contact between the active material and the solid electrolyte constructs a favorable ionic conduction path. As a result, a Li/75% Li2S-24% P2S5-1% P2O5/Li10GeP2S12/20% Super P/a-TiS4@Li7P3S11 battery shows a high reversible capacity of 507.4 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1. Even the current density increases to 1.0 A g-1, and it can also provide a reversible capacity of 349.8 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles. These results demonstrate a promising 20% Super P/a-TiS4@Li7P3S11 cathode material with electronic/ionic conduction networks for all-solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminium (Al) batteries (RABs) have long-been pursued due to the high sustainability and three-electron-transfer properties of Al metal. However, limited redox chemistry is available for rechargeable Al batteries, which restricts the exploration of cathode materials. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient Al-amine battery based on a quaternization reaction, in which nitrogen (radical) cations (R3 N.+ or R4 N+ ) are formed to store the anionic Al complex. The reactive aromatic amine molecules further oligomerize during cycling, inhibiting amine dissolution into the electrolyte. Consequently, the constructed Al-amine battery exhibits a high reversible capacity of 135 mAh g-1 along with a superior cycling life (4000 cycles), fast charge capability and a high energy efficiency of 94.2 %. Moreover, the Al-amine battery shows excellent stability against self-discharge, far beyond conventional Al-graphite batteries. Our findings pave an avenue to advance the chemistry of RABs and thus battery performance.
