Published: November 2023

Due to the natural abundance of iodine, cost-effective, and sustainability, metal-iodine batteries are competitive for the next-generation energy storage systems with high energy density, and large power density. However, the inherent properties of iodine such as electronic insulation and shuttle behavior of soluble iodine species affect negatively rate performance, cyclability, and self-discharge behavior of metal-iodine batteries, while the dendrite growth and metal corrosion on the anode side brings potential safety hazards and inferior durability. These problems of metal-iodine system still exist and need to be solved urgently. Herein, we summarize the research progress of metal-iodine batteries in the past decades. Firstly, the classification, design strategy and reaction mechanism of iodine electrode are briefly outlined. Secondly, the current development and protection strategy of conventional metal anodes in metal-iodine batteries are highlighted, and some potential anode materials and their design strategies are proposed. Thirdly, the key electrochemical parameters of state-of-art metal-iodine batteries are compared and analyzed to solve critical issues for realizing next-generation iodine-based energy storage systems. Therefore, the aim of this review is to promote the development of metal-iodine batteries and provide guidelines for their design.

Aqueous Zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) are widely viewed as promising energy storage devices due to their high energy density and intrinsic safety. However, they encounter great challenges such as grievous polyiodides shuttle and sluggish iodine (I) redox reaction kinetics, thus undesirable cycling performance. Here a high-performance ZIB with an ultra-long lifespan is reported through the rational I cathode catalyst design.

Catalyzing conversion is a promising approach to unlock the theoretical potentials of the I/I redox couple in aqueous Fe-I electrochemistry. However, most reported results only obtain one-directional efficient iodine conversion and cannot realize a balance of full reduction and reoxidation, thereby resulting in rapid capacity decay and/or low coulombic efficiency. Herein, the concept of bidirectional catalysis based on a core-shell structured composite cathode design, which accelerates the formation and the decomposition of FeI simultaneously during battery dynamic cycling, is proposed to regulate the Fe-I electrochemical reactions.

Electrochemically reversible conversion of I/I redox couple in a controllable iodine speciation manner is the eternal target for practical metal-iodine batteries. This contribution demonstrates an advanced polyiodide-free Zn-I battery achieved by the bidirectional confined redox catalysis-directed quasi-solid iodine conversion. A core-shell structured iodine cathode is fabricated by integrating multiporous Prussian blue nanocubes as a catalytic mediator, and the polypyrrole sheath afforded a confinement environment that favored the iodine redox.

Although conversion-type iodine-based batteries are considered promising for energy storage systems, stable electrode materials are scarce, especially for high-performance multi-electron reactions. The use of tin-based iodine-rich 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) ODASnI (ODA: 1,8-octanediamine) perovskite materials as cathode materials for iodine-based batteries is suggested. As a proof of concept, organic lithium-perovskite and aqueous zinc-perovskite batteries are fabricated and they can be operated based on the conventional one-electron and advanced two-electron transfer modes.
