Article Abstract

Recently, anion storage materials have gained significant attention owing to the widened cell voltage and additional anion storing capacity for a large energy density. MXenes are considered as the emerging anion storing materials owing to their sufficient interlayer spacing, rich surface chemistries, tunable structures, remarkable electrochemical properties, and mechanical integrity. Herein, a comprehensive review on the anion storage of MXenes covering their anion storage mechanism and state-of-the-art chemical strategies for the improved anion storage performances is reported. The recent progress of MXenes on aluminum ion batteries, metal halogen batteries, halogen ion batteries, and electrochemical electrode deionization is addressed. The scientific and technical challenges and the research direction into the anion storage of MXenes are also addressed and finally the authors' perspective on anion storage of MXenes is provided. Therefore, this review offers an insight into the rational design of MXenes for anion storage materials and the correlation of surface chemistries and structural modifications with anion storage properties for the applications into electrochemical energy storage and water purification.

Isovalent anion substitution has been shown to have a tremendous effect on the transport properties in lithium halide solid ionic conductors. Although sodium-ion solid state batteries based on chloride ionic conductors have recently gathered significant attention, investigations of anion substitution in sodium containing chlorides remain scarce. Here, we investigate the role of Br isoelectronic anion substitution in a perovskite-related compound with nominal composition of NaTaCl.

High-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) face inherent challenges such as high viscosity and diminished ionic conductivity caused by the formation of three-dimensional (3D) anion networks, which limit their practical applications. In this study, it is demonstrated that encapsulating HCEs within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) effectively disrupts these 3-D networks, resulting in significantly enhanced ionic conductivity. Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal a significant reduction in aggregates (AGGs)-state anion within MOF-confined electrolytes, confirming the reconstruction of the solvation environment.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have emerged as the most promising candidate for next-generation high-energy-density energy storage systems. However, their practical implementation is hindered by the inability of conventional carbonate electrolytes to simultaneously stabilize the lithium metal anode and LiNiCoMnO (NCM811) cathode interfaces, particularly under extreme operating conditions. Herein, we present a transformative molecular design using 3,5-difluorophenylboronic acid neopentyl glycol ester (DNE), which uniquely integrates dual interfacial stabilization mechanisms in a single molecule.
