“…The reduction chemistry of SOCl 2 to form S, SO 2 and Clwas similar to that in Li/SOCl 2 primary cells 17 . The proposed reactions (1) and (2) were supported by the fact that when an initially neutral electrolyte of 4 M NaCl + 4 M AlCl 3 in SOCl 2 was used, the higher plateau at ~ 3.47 V was not observed in the rst discharge and only the plateau at ~ 3.25 V appeared throughout the whole discharge (Extended Data Fig. 3b).…”

Sodium is a promising anode material for batteries due to its low standard electrode potential, high abundance and low cost. In this work, we report a new rechargeable ~ 3.5 V sodium ion battery using Na anode, amorphous carbon-nanosphere cathode and a starting electrolyte comprised of AlCl3 in SOCl2 with fluoride-based additives. The battery, exhibiting ultrahigh ~ 2800 mAh/g first discharge capacity, could cycle with a high reversible capacity up to ~ 1000 mAh/g. Through battery cycling, the electrolyte evolved to contain NaCl, various sulfur and chlorine species that supported anode’s Na/Na+ redox and cathode’s chloride/chlorine redox. Fluoride-rich additives were important in forming a solid-electrolyte interface, affording reversibility of the Na anode for a new class of high capacity secondary Na battery.

“…Dai's ADIB showed a high reversibility over thousands of cycles and graphite cathodic capacities of up to 67 mAh g -1 . Those first publications have initiated the exploration of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as Al electrolytes for ADIBs by Dai et al 22,23 , Jiao et al [24][25][26] , and others [27][28][29][30][31] .

In the search for sustainable energy storage systems, aluminum dual-ion batteries have recently attracted considerable attention due to their low cost, safety, high energy density (up to 70 kWh kg −1), energy efficiency (80-90%) and long cycling life (thousands of cycles and potentially more), which are needed attributes for grid-level stationary energy storage. Overall, such batteries are composed of aluminum foil as the anode and various types of carbonaceous and organic substances as the cathode, which are immersed in an aluminum electrolyte that supports efficient and dendrite-free aluminum electroplating/stripping upon cycling. Here, we review current research pursuits and present the limitations of aluminum electrolytes for aluminum dual-ion batteries. Particular emphasis is given to the aluminum plating/stripping mechanism in aluminum electrolytes, and its contribution to the total charge storage electrolyte capacity. To this end, we survey the prospects of these stationary storage systems, emphasizing the practical hurdles of aluminum electrolytes that remain to be addressed. T he integration of intermittent renewables into the grid is directly linked to the deployment of stationary energy storage systems at the terawatt scale, enabling grid stabilization. From this perspective, in addition to conventional energy storage means, such as pumpedstorage hydroelectricity (PSH), stationary batteries will be of significant importance 1. Loosely speaking, the assessment of the battery technologies for stationary storage applications can be made by comparing their capital cost (¢ kW −1 h −1 cycle −1) to that of PSH, which is presently the predominant stationary storage system. Consequently, stationary batteries should possess an exceptional cycling stability (thousands of cycles), environmental friendliness, low CO 2 footprint, and low cost. In this framework, the exploration of batteries composed of Na 2,3 , K 4 , Mg 5,6 , and Al 7-9 as earth-abundant metals has become a primary research target in recent years. Notably, batteries that employ Al metal as an anode can harness numerous advantages, such as a high charge storage capacity of 2977 mAh g −1 of Al, its natural abundance, and safety 10-15. Furthermore, Al can be reversibly deposited and stripped in chloroaluminate ionic liquids with a high coulombic efficiency and without the formation of dendrites 16,17. In this context, a new electrochemical concept called the aluminum dual-ion battery (ADIB) has recently attracted significant attention. ADIBs have a high potential for grid-scale energy storage applications

Lithium metal has been deemed the "Holy Grail" anode for next-generation, high-energy-density metal batteries. However, severe challenges in abundance, cost, and safety concerns have greatly hindered the practical use of Li metal anodes. Alternatively, multivalent metal anodes (Zn, Mg, Ca, Al, etc.) with less reactivity and much higher natural abundance are urgently summoned and increasingly investigated in recent years. The technologies for using multivalent metal anodes are not mature and are still in their infancy for practical applications. To comprehensively understand the challenges and opportunities for multivalent metal anodes, the fundamental mechanism and key issues are discussed here in detail, including electrolytes for reversible anode plating/ stripping, notorious surface passivation, dendrite formation, and anode corrosion. Strategies for tackling these issues are summarized. A general perspective and future research directions are also presented in this review. It is expected that this review will provide a promising opportunity for newly emerging multivalent metal anodes and pave the way for next-generation high-energy-density metal batteries.
