Abstract Rechargeable sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have emerged as promising alternatives to commercial Li‐ion because of the natural abundance and low cost resources. However, overuse metallic in conventional SMBs limits their energy densities leads severe safety concerns. Herein, we propose a sodium‐free‐anode SMB (SFA‐SMB) configuration consisting sodium‐rich Na superionic conductor‐structured cathode bare Al/C current collector address above challenges. Sodiated 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) form 5 was...
The reversible and durable operation of sodium metal batteries at low temperatures (LT) is essential for cold-climate applications but plagued by dendritic Na plating unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). Current Coulombic efficiencies plating/stripping LT fall far below 99.9%, representing a significant performance gap yet to be filled. Here, the solvation structure conventional 1 m NaPF

Abstract Small molecule quinone compounds are attractive cathode materials for rechargeable aqueous zinc‐organic batteries (AZOBs) because of their structural diversity and low‐cost merits. Among them, nonpolar quinones dominant given the relatively low solubilities in electrolytes. However, poor electronic conductivity accumulated Coulombic repulsion lead to underutilized active sites sluggish redox kinetics.

Alkali metal-air batteries (AMABs) promise ultrahigh gravimetric energy densities, while the inherent poor cycle stability hinders their practical application. To address this challenge, most previous efforts are devoted to advancing air cathodes with high electrocatalytic activity. Recent studies have underlined solid-liquid-gas triple-phase interface around anode can play far more significant roles than previously acknowledged by scientific community. Besides bottlenecks of uncontrollable...
