“…The modification strategies for Zn-metal anodes are similar to those of alkali-metal anodes. Up to now, a great deal of strategies have been proposed, such as constructing 3D current collectors, [121][122][123] providing a host for the "hostless" Zn anode, [124][125][126] modifying liquid electrolytes, [127][128][129] utilizing solid-state electrolytes, [130][131][132] alloy engineering, [133] using zincophilic substrates, [134] interfacial design, [135][136][137] adding seeds to regulate Zn deposition, [138] and designing multifunctional separators.

Metal anodes based on a plating/stripping electrochemistry such as metallic Li, Na, K, Zn, Mg, Ca, Al, and Fe have attracted widespread attention over the past several years because of their high theoretical specific capacity, low electrochemical potential, and superior electronic conductivity. Metal anodes can be paired with cathodes to construct high-energy-density rechargeable metal batteries. However, inherent issues including large volume changes, uncontrollable growth of dangerous dendrites, and an unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) hinder their further development. MXene as an emerging 2D material has shown great potential to address the inherent issues of metal anodes due to its 2D structure, abundant surface functional groups, and the ability to construct macroscopic architectures. To date, under the assistance of MXene, various strategies have been proposed to achieve stable and dendrite-free metal anodes, such as MXene-based host design, designing metalphilic MXene-based substrates, modifying the metal surface with MXene, constructing MXene arrays, and decorating separators or electrolytes with MXene. Herein the applications and advances of MXene in stable and dendrite-free metal anodes are carefully summarized and analyzed. Some perspectives and outlooks for future research are also proposed.

Aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs) have become a lively research theme due to their advantages of low cost, safety, environmental friendliness, and easy manufacturing. However, since its inception, the aqueous solution energy storage system has always faced some problems, which hinders its development, such as the narrow electrochemical stability window of water, poor percolation of electrode materials, and low energy density. In recent years, to overcome the shortcomings of the aqueous solution-based energy storage system, some very pioneering work has been done, which also provides a great inspiration for further research and development of future high-performance aqueous energy storage systems. In this paper, the latest advances in various ARBs with high voltage and high energy density are reviewed. These include aqueous rechargeable lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum batteries. Further challenges are pointed out.

“…Therefore, as a type of alternatives for aqueous electrolytes, PEs can not only prevent leakage of liquid, but also be used as separators, which contributes to a simple fabrication and enables flexible property for ZIBs. Recently, tremendous researches have been focused on the development of polymer electrolytes for ZIBs to overcome the abovementioned issues in aqueous electrolyte 57–59. Although important progress has been made in improving the performance of PEs in ZBs, several issues still exist, which largely hinder the development of PE‐based ZIBs.…”

Aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) have been deemed to be possible candidates for large‐scale energy storage due to their ecoefficiency, substantial reserve, safety, and low cost. However, the challenges inherent in aqueous electrolytes, such as water splitting reactions, water evaporation, and liquid leakage, have greatly hindered their development in energy storage. Fortunately, polymer electrolytes would be able to overcome the abovementioned challenges. Moreover, the flexible properties of polymer electrolytes can facilitate their future application in wearable electronics. Recently, increasing attention has been attracted to the polymer electrolyte‐based zinc ion batteries. However, the development of polymer electrolytes for ZIBs is still in the early stages due to numerous challenges. Therefore, substantial research effort is required to overcome the challenges of polymer electrolyte‐based ZIBs. In this review, the current progress in developing polymer electrolytes, including solid polymer electrolytes, gel polymer electrolytes, and hybrid polymer electrolytes, as well as the interactions between electrodes and polymer electrolytes for ZIBs is comprehensively reviewed, analyzed, and discussed in terms of their synthesis, characterization, and performance validation. To facilitate further research and development of polymer electrolytes for ZIBs, the relevant challenges are summarized and analyzed, and some underlying approaches to overcome these challenges are also proposed.
