Hydrate-melt electrolyte design for aqueous aluminium-bromine batteries with enhanced energy-power merits

Achieving cathodes with large areal capacities is crucial for advancing aqueous aluminum-based batteries. Here, authors report a hydrate-melt electrolyte based on AlCl₃ and organic halide salts that enables reversible Br⁻ /Br⁰ /Br⁺ chemistry with a high areal capacity of 5 mAh cm⁻².

Proton-selective coating enables fast-kinetics high-mass-loading cathodes for sustainable zinc batteries

Sluggish Zn²⁺-dominated Faradic reactions lead to suboptimal charge-storage capacity and durability of aqueous zinc battery cathodes. Here, the authors present a proton-selective interfacial coating strategy that enables high-performance cathodes with fast-kinetics proton-dominated Faradic reactions.

Six-electron-conversion selenium cathodes stabilized by dead-selenium revitalizer for aqueous zinc batteries

Developing chemistries for positive electrodes with large specific capacities and high operating potentials is highly desirable for aqueous zinc batteries. Here, authors report a reversible Se electrode that undergoes ZnSe↔Se↔SeCl₄ reaction, combined with Br⁻ /Br^{n –} redox couple as Se revitalizer to enhance cycling performance.
