“…Figure 6 (a and b) [51,52] depict the Pourbaix diagram of Zn and Al in aqueous solution, respectively, and from that it is evident; why Zn metal negative electrode is legitimate in aqueous mediums, but Al is not. [37,53] The same logical treatment is also valid for other charge carrier systems, because of the further lower standard redox potentials of them from Al-system.…”

Hybrid supercapacitors are the most desirable electrochemical energy storage devices, owing to their versatile and tunable performance characteristics, specifically in energy and power densities, towards applications in research and development. Construction‐wise, optimized assembly of batteries (energy devices) and supercapacitors (power devices) are the key for hybrid supercapacitors. Based on scientific advancements and technological achievements, hybrid ion capacitors are the most important segments in hybrid supercapacitors, as well as in the overall energy storage arena. Herein, opportunities and challenges of hybrid ion capacitors are intensively addressed in light of lithium‐ion, sodium‐ion, potassium‐ion, magnesium‐ion, calcium‐ion, zinc‐ion, and aluminum‐ion capacitors. The historical origins and their developmental pathways are identified for each type of capacitor. Possible classes of materials for every hybrid ion capacitor are discussed, and relevant mechanisms are demonstrated. These discussions reveal that a rich materials bank exists for lithium‐ion, sodium‐ion, and zinc‐ion capacitors, but the same is not applicable for potassium‐ion, magnesium‐ion, calcium‐ion, and aluminum‐ion capacitors. Consequently, such hybrid ion capacitors have not yet reached the level of commercial benchmarks like lithium‐ion, sodium‐ion, and zinc‐ion capacitors. However, this Review focuses on mostly full‐cell device data that synchronize the performances of practical scaled‐up systems. Several electrolytes based on solvent media (aqueous, organic, and ionic liquid), phase (liquid, gel, and solid), and redox activity (active and passive) are exemplified in different sections of hybrid ion capacitors. Various device constructions are elaborated upon, such as liquid‐electrolyte devices, polymeric gel devices, all‐solid‐state devices, flexible‐cum‐wearable devices, microdevices, solar‐charging devices, and so forth. The Review culminates with feasible future directions for the commercial success of hybrid ion capacitors, which are in the nascent stages of developments. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first holistic account of hybrid ion capacitors from their historical perspectives to present developments.

“…In recent years, successful preparation of new electrolytes and improved understanding of the nature of the SEI led to the development of AAIBs [116,117]. Many researchers have explored new electrode materials for AAIBs such as TiO 2 [118][119][120][121], MoO 3 [122,123], WO 3 [124], FeVO 4 [125] and PBAs [126][127][128]), and some reviews have summarized this work comprehensively [129][130][131][132]. We therefore discuss this aspect only briefly and focus on recent research progress on high-energy rechargeable AAIBs based on Al metal.…”

Aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs) have become a lively research theme due to their advantages of low cost, safety, environmental friendliness, and easy manufacturing. However, since its inception, the aqueous solution energy storage system has always faced some problems, which hinders its development, such as the narrow electrochemical stability window of water, poor percolation of electrode materials, and low energy density. In recent years, to overcome the shortcomings of the aqueous solution-based energy storage system, some very pioneering work has been done, which also provides a great inspiration for further research and development of future high-performance aqueous energy storage systems. In this paper, the latest advances in various ARBs with high voltage and high energy density are reviewed. These include aqueous rechargeable lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum batteries. Further challenges are pointed out.
