“…The rising demand for distributed and portable energy storage systems has been fueling the growth of rechargeable batteries [1][2][3][4][5]. Metal batteries, powered by metal stripping and plating, have been passionately focused upon, as they are capable of offering specific energy much higher than their rechargeable ion counterparts [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Among versatile metal batteries under scrutiny, Na metal batteries have stood out as a key technology [13][14][15][16][17].…”

Metallic Na with high theoretical capacity and low redox potential is an attractive anode material for highenergy rechargeable metal batteries. The poor wettability of Na on current collectors and the weak interaction between Na atoms lead to uneven plating/stripping of Na and dendrite formation. Here, we report an encouraging strategy to tackle these issues by rooting Zn into metallic Na bulk through a molten infusion process. The introduction of Zn not only tunes molten Na into highly sodiophilic Na(Zn) but also guides the uniform nucleation of Na through a much stronger interaction. As a result, smooth Na plating and stripping with a low energy barrier and homogeneous current distribution are simultaneously accomplished. Stable galvanostatic cycling over 3000 h in symmetric Na(Zn) cells and low voltage hysteresis below 15 mV at a rate of 5 mA cm −2 have been recorded. When coupled with a Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 O 2 F cathode, the Na(Zn)-Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 2 O 2 F full cell demonstrates an energetic performance, highlighting the strategy of rooting Zn into alkali metal bulk for rechargeable metal batteries.

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Among them, the sodium metal anode (SMA) has attracted great interest benefiting from its high theoretical capacity (1166 mA h g À1 ), low redox potential (À2.71 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode) and cost-effectiveness. [15][16][17][18][19][20] However, the practical application of SMAs is crucially hampered by dendrite growth and ''dead'' Na generation, which are principally derived from the uncontrolled Na deposition, leading to poor Coulombic efficiency, short cycle lifespan and even safety issues.…”

“…While the post‐sodium batteries are almost based on redox reaction between metallic Na anode and metal‐free cathode. [ 126 ] At this point, the employment of wood‐like carbon skeletons for lodging Na metal affirms a positive impact on guiding homogeneous Na deposition, suppressing dendrite growth, reducing local current density, and alleviating volume fluctuation.

It is a natural choice to realize the vision of wood‐inspired functional materials for energy engineering. Apart from being naturally abundant, renewable, and biodegradable, wood‐based devices possess hierarchically porous structures, mechanical integrity and flexibility, and tunable functionalities, holding the potential to significantly push the boundaries of efficient energy storage and conversion. Meanwhile, the hunting of batteries with superior energy/power output to redeem the ever‐growing energy demand has ignited a thick electrode conception, which is deemed as a burgeoning technic to maneuver the maximum active material loading at the device‐scale. As an integrated carbonaceous scaffold with hierarchical architecture and aligned channels, wood thick electrode ameliorates the ion/electron conductivities to strengthen the charge transfer kinetics. In this review, the rational design and unique prospects in the construction of wood thick electrodes that concerns over structural optimization and low‐tortuosity for integrated cell configuration are summarized. To trap the structure‐feature‐performance interplays, advanced wood thick electrode that opens an avenue in emerging energy chemistries such as supercapacitors, lithium‐ion/metal and post‐rechargeable batteries are also spotlighted with a standpoint on task‐tailored modification. Ultimately, the blueprint over ongoing challenges and upcoming opportunities for wood‐structured thick electrode is drawn to broaden their brand‐new energy talents.
