TL;DR: The progress made and the road ahead for salt-concentrated electrolytes, an emerging and promising electrolyte candidate are reviewed, including a multi-angle analysis of their advantages and disadvantages together with future perspectives.

TL;DR: In this paper, a salt-concentrated electrolyte design was proposed to solve the problem of carbonate anodes becoming flammable and volatile, which may cause catastrophic fires or explosions.

TL;DR: In this article, transition metal vacancies (e.g., Ax[yM1−y]O2, : transition metal vacancy) are introduced as a possible approach for stable oxygen-redox reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a room-temperature monohydrate melt of Li salts (55.6 ǫmol kg −1 ) was proposed as an ultimate system of concentrated aqueous electrolytes.

TL;DR: The unusual passivation ability of superconcentrated Na-salt electrolytes is reported, which enables highly reversible Na+ insertion into a hard carbon negative electrode without any electrolyte additive, functional binder, or electrode pretreatment.
