Article Abstract
Exploring electrolyte formulations that can effectively reduce the plating/stripping potentials of metallic electrodes holds great significance in advancing the development of high-voltage redox flow batteries. In this study, we introduce a novel Sn-based chelated electrolyte, namely, Sn(PO), by directly reacting the Sn solution with an excess of PO solution. Electrochemical tests prove that the incorporation of high-concentration PO ligands could shift the plating/stripping potential to -0.67 V. Thus, the demonstrated Sn-I flow battery reveals an average cell voltage of nearly 1.2 V and maintains stable cycling over 250 cycles at a high current density of 80 mA cm, with an average energy efficiency of about 70%. Moreover, no dendrite formation formed during the Sn deposition on the carbon felt. This study offers broad prospects for the future development of high-voltage Sn-based flow batteries.

This work presents the synthesis of a molecular crystal of adiponitrile (Adpn) and LiI a simple melting method. The molecular crystal has both Li and I channels and can be either a Li or an I conductor. In the stoichiometric crystal (Adpn)LiI, the Li ions interact only with four CN groups of Adpn, while the I ions are uncoordinated.

Despite the potential of Zn metal batteries (ZMBs) due to their low cost, environmental benefits, and favorable Zn/Zn redox potential, challenges such as low Zn utilization and parasitic reactions hinder their performance. These issues arise from the thermodynamic instability of the Zn anode and high-desolvation energy barriers. To overcome these challenges, this study investigates two zwitterionic compounds with hydrophilic and zincophilic functional groups, BES (N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) and MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid), selecting BES as the optimal electrolyte additive.

Lithium metal negative electrodes are highly promising for high-specific-energy batteries due to their low electrochemical potential and high capacity. However, dendrite growth due to limited Li transport at the interface hinder their performance and safety. Enhancing interfacial Li transport can prevent Li depletion and ensure uniform Li deposition.

Zinc (Zn) anode shows great potential for aqueous zinc-ion batteries yet faces persistent issues of dendritic growth and parasitic reactions at the interface. Here, six polyol additives with different hydroxylated carbon chain lengths are systematically studied under standardized conditions as interfacial regulators for optimizing Zn plating behavior. The calculations coupled with experimental analyses reveal a critical chain-length dependence: short-chain polyols prioritize Zn migration and desolvation but insufficiently protect the interface, whereas long-chain polyols lead to excessive kinetic barriers despite effective interfacial stabilization.

Anode-free solid-state lithium (Li) metal batteries (AFSSLMBs), with anticipated high energy density and cost-effectiveness, high safety, and simplicity of fabrication, are considered to have great potential in becoming promising alternatives for next-generation electrochemical energy storage devices. Unfortunately, the inefficiency of Li plating/stripping and the rapid capacity decay during cycling have severely hindered the further development of AFSSLMBs. Accordingly, to cope with these faced challenges, enormous efforts have been made in the most recent years.
