Here, we present a volatile additive engineering strategy using pyruvic acid (PA) as a dual-functional nucleation promoter and surface modulator during SnO<sub>2</sub> deposition. Owing to its volatility (sublimation at 145°C), PA can be effectively removed during annealing, resulting in cleaner SnO<sub>2</sub> surfaces with reduced residual groups. This is accompanied by a decrease in oxygen-related defect densities in the SnO<sub>2</sub> layer. This improvement leads to enhanced charge recombination and improved thermal stability at the buried interface. Consequently, PA-engineered PSCs achieve a power conversion efficiency of 26.17%, together with improved device stability, retaining >80% of their initial efficiency after 900 h of continuous operation, 1000 h at 65°C, and 30 days under 30% relative humidity.

These are often treated as competing frameworks for the interpretation of seemingly similar experimental observations. Here, we argue that progress in the field is limited due to an intertwining of kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of segregation and encourage the use of a generalized thermodynamic description in which different microscopic models correspond to different ways of modifying the free-energy balance under illumination. We therefore analyze the assumptions, predictions, and experimental signatures of the most widely discussed mechanisms. We further identify key limitations in current experimental approaches, mostly associated with an overreliance on photoluminescence as a characterization tool, and how variations in experimental conditions further obscure comparison across studies.

This conflict creates a “stability paradox”: the pursuit of high energy density amplifies interfacial instability, leading to inhomogeneous sodium deposition and rapid capacity decay. This review systematically analyzes AFSMB failure mechanisms under extreme conditions and demonstrates that overcoming these bottlenecks requires integrated co-design across four synergistic domains: (1) engineering electrolyte solvation structures (weakly solvating, high-concentration, and high-entropy designs) to lower the desolvation barrier and stabilize the solid–electrolyte interphase; (2) tailoring current collector interfaces with sodiophilic coatings or three-dimensional architectures to guide uniform sodium deposition; (3) incorporating rational pre-sodiation strategies to compensate irreversible sodium loss; and (4) leveraging artificial intelligence and molecular simulations for data-driven electrolyte screening.

Conventional aqueous electrolytes adopt soluble ligands to stabilize the interfaces, yet these species are insufficient to isolate interfacial water contact owing to their intrinsic hydrophilicity.

By utilizing the π−π stacking between benzylideneacetone (BA) and 2‐naphthol polyoxyethylene (NPE), insoluble BA molecules form nanoaggregates with NPE and are stably dispersed within the aqueous electrolyte. At both interfaces, the BA−NPE nanoaggregates form hydrophobic interfacial layers that prevent water attack, thereby effectively suppressing side reactions. In addition, BA−NPE nanoaggregates substantially increase the nucleation overpotential and form a fluorine‐rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), promoting dendrite‐free Zn plating/stripping.
