Dual-ion battery (DIB) is an up-and-coming technology for the energy storage field. However, most of the current cathodes are still focused on the graphite hosts, which deliver a limited specific capacity. In this work, we demonstrated for the first time that HPO can be used as the charge carrier for NaV(PO) under an aqueous electrolyte, which enabled the V/V and V/V multielectron reactions in the NaV(PO) electrode. The fabricated aqueous DIB delivers a high average voltage of ∼0.75 V (vs Ag/AgCl) and a high capacity of 280.7 mA h g. Moreover, the formed V-based novel cathode exhibits a capacity of 170.2 mA h g in an organic sodium-ion battery. This study may open a new direction for fabricating high-voltage electrodes through the design of DIBs.

NaV(PO), based on multi-electron reactions between V/V/V, is a promising cathode material for SIBs. However, its practical application is hampered by the inferior conductivity, large barrier of V/V, and stepwise phase transition. Herein, these issues are addressed by constructing a medium-entropy material (NaVTiAlCrMnNi(PO), ME-NVP) with strong ME─O bond and highly occupied Na2 sites.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) with non-flammable solid-state electrolytes offer high energy density and enhanced safety. However, their energy densities are greatly limited by low-capacity and low-ionic-conductivity oxide cathode materials, typically relying on the intercalation-deintercalation mechanism with a catholyte content of 15-30 wt %. Here we introduce the LiFeX (X=Cl, Br) families as high-capacity and high-ionic-conductivity alternatives, operating via a 3 mol e transfer intercalation-conversion coupling reaction.

Constructing catalysts that simultaneously contain single atom/metal nanocluster active sites is a promising strategy to enhance the original catalytic behavior and accelerate the catalysis involving multi-electron reactions or multi-intermediates. Herein, the pyrolysis-free synthetic method is developed to integrate single atoms and nanoclusters towards highly satisfactory catalytic performances for both acidic and alkaline hydrogen electrocatalysis. The controllable pyrolysis-free strategy allows the precise modulation of the active centers, realizing the optimization of the adsorption energy and the regulation of the synergistic active components.

Aqueous zinc-iodine (Zn-I) batteries are promising energy storage devices; however, the conventional single-electron reaction potential and energy density of iodine cathode are inadequate for practical applications. Activation of high-valence iodine cathode reactions has evoked a compelling direction to developing high-voltage zinc-iodine batteries. Herein, ethylene glycol (EG) is proposed as a co-solvent in a water-in-deep eutectic solvent (WiDES) electrolyte, enabling significant utilization of two-electron-transfer I/I/I reactions and facilitating an additional reversibility of Cl/Cl redox reaction.
