However, they suffer from the time-consuming cathodic self-charging process and low capacity, limiting their real application. Herein, we report a donor-acceptor typed covalent organic framework incorporating naphthalenediimide and triphenylamine units (NT-COF) as an advanced cathode for self-charging AZBs. NT-COF features a porous structure with abundant redox-active sites and a narrow bandgap, which significantly boosts electron/ion transport properties and O<sub>2</sub> diffusion. Upon exposure to air, the OCV of Zn//NT-COF battery rapidly increases from 0.2 to 1.03 V within 1 min, followed by a gradual rise to 1.25 V within 1 h. The battery also shows a 100% self-charging efficiency even under a low current density of 0.5 A g<sup>−1</sup>, while maintaining a stable average discharge capacity of 109.4 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> at 0.2 A g<sup>−1</sup> after 1 h of self-charging upon cycling. Despite self-charging and galvanostatic charging modes, Zn//NT-COF batteries exhibit high performance in hybrid configurations. Experimental and stimulation results reveal the NT-COF cathode experiences the co-insertion of Zn<sup>2+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup> with H<sup>+</sup> ions playing a dominant role. The rapid kinetics of H<sup>+</sup> removal during the air-oxidation process are critical in enabling the ultrafast air self-charging capability of Zn//NT-COF batteries.

However, conventional electrolytes usually exhibit insufficient thermodynamic stability, leading to aggressive lithium dendrites growth and severe cathode-electrolyte reactions, particularly at high voltage (≥ 4.5 V vs. Li/Li<sup>+</sup>). Herein, we propose a design strategy for a strong association electrolyte (SAE) that reduces Li<sup>+</sup>-solvent coordination number, facilitating the formation of ion pairs or ion clusters, even with conventional lithium salt concentrations (1 M). Lithium salts with high cluster formation constant (K<sub>A</sub>), such as lithium difluorophosphate (LiDFP) and lithium nitrate (LiNO<sub>3</sub>), create an SAE with anion-dominated solvation structure, which promotes the formation of aggregates (AGGs) solvate species. This unique solvation structure facilitates the formation of a dense, inorgain rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on lithium metal anode.

In this study, we investigate the effect of a bifunctional additive, trimethylsilyl 2,2-difluoro-2-(fluorosulfonyl)acetate (TDFA), on lithium metal batteries, with a focus on its role in promoting uniform lithium deposition and enhancing interfacial stability. Surface analysis shows that the additive forms a LiF-rich solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, which is chemically stable and mechanically robust. Li/Li symmetric cells demonstrate that TDFA significantly reduces nucleation overpotential, suppresses dendrite formation, and extends cycling life over 500 h at 1 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> for 1 mAh cm<sup>-2</sup>. In Li/LFP cells, TDFA improves capacity retention to 89.4 % after 300 cycles, with reduced polarization and enhanced rate performance. Additionally, XPS depth profiling confirms an F-rich cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer that mitigates crack formation on cathode and enhances cell durability.
