“…Due to the serious shortage and pollution of traditional energy sources and the increasing human demand for energy, the development of sustainable, abundant, and clean sources of energy is urgent for both the environment and human society ( van Ruijven et al, 2019 ; Sadeghi, 2022 ). In the past few decades, salinity-gradient generated osmotic energy, which can be derived from ambient environments by mixing river water with salty seawater, has been recognized as a sustainable source of “blue energy” ( Yip et al, 2016 ).…”

Salinity-gradient directed osmotic energy between seawater and river water has been widely considered as a promising clean and renewable energy source, as there are numerous river estuaries on our planet. In the past few decades, reverse electrodialysis (RED) technique based on cation-selective membranes has been used as the key strategy to convert osmotic energy into electricity. From this aspect, developing high-efficiency anion-selective membranes will also have great potential for capturing osmotic energy, however, remains systematically unexplored. In nature, electric eels can produce electricity from ionic gradients by using their “sub-nanoscale” protein ion channels to transport ions selectively. Inspired by this, here we developed a UiO-66-NH2 metal-organic framework (MOF) based anion-selective composite membrane with sub-nanochannels, and achieved high-performance salinity-gradient power generation by mixing artificial seawater (0.5 M NaCl) and river water (0.01 M NaCl). The UiO-66-NH2 metal-organic framework based composite membranes can be easily and economically fabricated with dense structure and long-term working stability in saline, and its performance of power generation can also be adjusted by pH to enhance the surface charge density of the MOF sub-nanochannels. This study will inspire the exploitation of MOFs for investigating the sub-nanochannel directed high-performance salinity-gradient energy harvesting systems based on anion-selective ion transport.

Sodium metal has been regarded as the potential alternative for metal batteries owing to its advantages of high theoretical capacity and abundant reserves. Nevertheless, propagation of Na dendrites can boost the interfacial instability of Na metal, retarding its practical implementation. Thus, the Na–Ga alloy layer is designed and fabricated by in situ rolling of metal Ga on the surface of Na metal. This alloy layer possesses good sodiophilicity, which can effectively protect Na metal and favor the uniform Na+ deposition, obtaining the inhibition of Na dendrites growth. Consequently, the symmetric cells assembled by the alloy‐layer protected Na metal electrodes (NGAL‐Na||NGAL‐Na) have a long lifetime (468 h) even under a high plating/stripping capacity of 6 mAh cm−2 in carbonate electrolyte. The full battery of NGAL‐Na||Na3V2(PO4)3 is able to sustain an excellent rate capability of 100 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at 10 C under ambient temperature. This work provides a new route to prevent metal anodes from severe dendrite growth, and paves the way toward safer and stable‐performing metal‐based rechargeable batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and capacitors (SICs) have been drawing considerable interest in recent years and are considered two of the most promising candidates for next-generation battery technologies in the energy storage industry. Therefore, it is essential to explore feasible strategies to increase the energy density and cycling lifespan of these technologies for their future commercialization. However, relatively low Coulombic efficiency severely limits the energy density of sodium-ion full cells, particularly in the initial cycle, which gradually decreases the number of recyclable ions. Presodiation techniques are regarded as effective approaches to counteract the irreversible capacity in the initial cycle and boost the energy density of SIBs and SICs. Their cyclic stability can also be enhanced by the slow release of supplemental sodium and high-content recyclable ions during cycling. In this review, a general understanding of the sodium-ion loss pathways and presodiation process towards full cells with high Coulombic efficiency is summarized. From the perspectives of safety, operability and efficiency, the merits and drawbacks of various presodiation techniques are evaluated. This review attempts to provide a fundamental understanding of presodiation principles and strategies to promote the industrial development of SIBs and SICs.
