However, the intricate electrochemo‐mechanical effects arising from the inherent softness of Na during deposition, in conjunction with the problem of soft short circuits at high current densities, have impeded the practical application of anode‐free Na batteries. Herein, the critical factor for decoupling the electrochemo‐mechanical effects is revealed to lie in controlling the kinetically rate‐determining step during Na deposition. Specifically, the charge‐transfer‐dominated Na deposition exhibits low risk of dendrites growth, whereas the diffusion‐controlled Na deposition requires external pressure to maintain uniform deposition and is prone to generating detrimental internal stresses in the cell. It is shown that appropriately increasing the salt concentration in the electrolyte can facilitate sufficient Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> availability at the electrode surface, thereby ensuring that Na deposition is controlled by charge transfer.

In 2D perovskites, excitons are the dominant photogenerated species and their energetic structure plays a pivotal role, governing photon absorption and emission processes. In these materials, dark exciton states can undergo photoluminescence due to relaxation of selection rules and this process can be modulated by an external magnetic field, enabling unambiguous identification of the exciton fine structure. Previous reports of magneto‐optical spectroscopy on 2D perovskites are restricted to the macroscopic response, where key information is lost regarding the microscopic heterogeneity of the photoluminescence. Here, magneto‐optical microscopy is used for the first time on perovskite materials to elucidate the spatial variation of exciton emission processes. In 2D perovskite thin films, regions of localized bright and dark exciton populations are distinguished, correlated to the film morphology. In single crystals, dark excitons become localised at the edges, where excitons can be trapped in two distinct types of sub‐gap states.
