Lithium (Li) metal is a favorable anode for most energy storage equipment, thanks to its higher theoretical specific capacity. However, nonuniform Li nucleation/growth results in large-sized and irregular dendrites generated from the Li anode, which causes rapid capacity fade and serious safety hazard, hindering its widespread practical applications. In this paper, with the aid of a lithium nitrate (LiNO) additive in a carbonate-based electrolyte, the Li anode shows low hysteresis for in excess of 1000 h at a current density of 0.5 mA cm. At the same time, a Li-graphite dual-ion battery exhibits an outstanding cycling stability at 5C; after 1000 cycles, 81% of the capacity is retained. After calculation, the Li-graphite dual-ion battery shows a competitive specific energy density of 243 Wh kg at a power density of 234 W kg. Moreover, the linear sweep voltammetry test was first performed to analyze the Li nucleation/growth mechanism and explain the effect of the LiNO additive. The superior electrochemical properties of the Li-graphite dual-ion battery are ascribed to the formation of smooth Li composed of Li nanoparticles and a steady solid electrolyte interface film.

Organic electrode materials offer multi-electron reactivity, flexible structures, and redox reversibility, but encounter poor conductivity and durability in electrolytes. To overcome above barriers, we propose a dual elongation strategy of π-conjugated motifs with active sites, involving the extended carbazole and electropolymerized polymer, which enhances electronic conductivity by the electronic delocalization of electron-withdrawing conjugated groups, boosts theoretical capacity by increasing redox-active site density, and endows robust electrochemical stability attributed to the nanonetwork feature of polymer structures. As a proof-of-concept, 5,11-dihydridoindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (DHIC) is selected as the model cathode material for a dual-ion battery, with elongated carbazole groups functioning both as redox-active centers and polymerization anchors.

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) are garnering immense attention for their capability to operate without the expensive elements required by lithium-ion batteries. Phenylenediamine serves as a versatile and sustainable resource, enabling the efficient preparation of both cathode and anode materials through precise molecular control and straightforward synthesis. The innovative asymmetrical DIBs based on amine-rich poly(phenylenediamine) cathodes and imine-rich poly(phenylenediamine) anodes enable oxidative and reductive states, providing a transition metal-free rechargeable battery.

Using a solid electrolyte is considered to be the most effective strategy to solve the shuttle effect in lithium-sulfur batteries. However, the practical application of solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (SLSBs) is still far from being realized. This is because SLSBs, like all other solid-state battery systems, also face the dilemma of interface degradation (including both the anode and cathode interfaces), in addition to terrible kinetics due to the nonliquid solid-state electrolytes infiltrating the nonconductive sulfur particles inside the cathode.

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) are emerging as promising candidates for fast-charging electric vehicles owing to their ability to intercalate both cations and anions. However, increasing the energy density of DIBs, especially with thick graphite cathodes, remains a challenge due to structural instability during anion intercalation. In this study, a magnetically controlled method is introduced to vertically align graphite particles in thick electrodes, significantly improving the performance of DIBs.

The demand for safer, sustainable, and economical energy storage devices has motivated the development of lithium dual-ion batteries (Li_DIBs) for large-scale storage applications. For the Li_DIBs, expanded graphite (EG) cathodes are valuable as anion intercalation host frameworks to fabricate safer and more cost-effective devices. In this study, three different carbon cathode materials, including microwave-treated expanded graphite (MW-EG), ball-milled expanded graphite (BM-EG), and high-temperature-carbonized carbon nanoflakes (CNFs), were developed by different synthesis methods.
