Abstract

Monovalent (lithium, sodium, potassium) and multivalent (magnesium, calcium, aluminum) metal anodes are promising alternatives to graphite anodes for overcoming the performance limitations of lithium-ion batteries. In this Review, we compare and contrast their electrochemical behaviors in nonaqueous electrolytes by discussing their common challenges of irregular metal deposition and unstable solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs), as well as their differences, which are due to dissimilar surface energies and cation charge densities. General design strategies for electrode, electrolyte, and interphase are proposed to enable horizontally deposited metals with preferred crystallographic orientations and stable SEIs with distinct chemical compositions yet similar structural homogeneity. Finally, we assess the specific advantages and unresolved challenges of each system, providing cross-disciplinary insights to advance high-energy and low-cost metal-anode batteries for next-generation energy storage.

单价和多价金属电池阳极的对比。

单价（锂、钠、钾）和多价（镁、钙、铝）金属阳极是克服锂离子电池性能限制的有希望的石墨阳极替代品。在这篇综述中，我们比较和对比了它们在非水电解质中的电化学行为，讨论了它们共同面临的不规则金属沉积和不稳定固体电解质界面（SEIs）的挑战，以及它们的区别，这是由于不同的表面能和阳离子电荷密度造成的。提出了电极、电解质和界面相的一般设计策略，以使水平沉积的金属具有优选的晶体取向和稳定的sei，具有不同的化学成分和相似的结构均匀性。最后，我们评估了每个系统的具体优势和未解决的挑战，为推进下一代能量存储的高能量和低成本金属阳极电池提供了跨学科的见解。

期刊介绍： Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research. Science serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has been reached as well as including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in Science—including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated. Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals. Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.
