Rechargeable Li-based battery technologies utilising silicon, silicon-based, and Si-derivative anodes coupled with high-capacity/high-voltage insertion-type cathodes have reaped significant interest from both academic and industrial sectors. This stems from their practically achievable energy density, offering a new avenue towards the mass-market adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. Nevertheless, such high-energy systems are limited by their complex chemistry and intrinsic drawbacks. From this perspective, we present the progress, current status, prevailing challenges and mitigating strategies of Li-based battery systems comprising silicon-containing anodes and insertion-type cathodes. This is accompanied by an assessment of their potential to meet the targets for evolving volume- and weight-sensitive applications such as electro-mobility.

Non-volatile memristors dynamically switch between high (HRS) and low resistance states (LRS) in response to electrical stimuli, essential for electronic memories, neuromorphic computing, and artificial intelligence. High-entropy Prussian blue analogs (HE-PBAs) are promising insertion-type battery materials due to their diverse composition, high structural integrity, and favorable ionic conductivity. This work proposes a non-volatile, bipolar memristor based on HE-PBA.

As insertion-type cathode materials of aqueous Zn-based batteries (ABs), bismuth chalcogenides/oxychalcogenides exhibits relatively limited capacities in ZnSO baseline electrolyte. This work finds that BiTeO (BTO) cathode with pre-added I electrolyte additive can simultaneously achieve conversion and insertion chemistries, which enables aqueous BTO-Zn batteries to deliver an extraordinary electrochemical performance. As shown in the experiment results, the BTO cathode showcases an ultrahigh specific capacity of 534.

Electrode/electrolyte interfacial ion transfer is a fundamental process occurring during insertion-type redox reactions at battery electrodes. The rate at which ions move into and out of the electrode, as well as at interphase structures, directly impacts the power performance of the battery. However, measuring and quantifying these ion transfer phenomena can be difficult, especially at high electrolyte concentrations as found in batteries.

Fast-charging batteries are highly sought after. However, the current battery industry has used carbon as the preferred anode, which can suffer from dendrite formation problems at high current density, causing failure after prolonged cycling and posing safety hazards. The phosphorus (P) anode is being considered as a promising successor to graphite due to its safe lithiation potential, low ion diffusion energy barrier, and high theoretical storage capacity.
