TL;DR: Aqueous K-ion batteries (AKIBs) are promising candidates for grid-scale energy storage due to their inherent safety and low cost as discussed by the authors. But full AKIBs have not yet been reported due to the limited availability of suitable electrodes and electrolytes.

TL;DR: This review summarizes significant advances from both experimental and theoretical calculations with a focus on comparing the intercalation of three alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+) into graphite and aims to clarify the intimate host-guest relationships and the underlying mechanisms.

TL;DR: The “cationic potential” is introduced that captures the key interactions of layered materials and makes it possible to predict the stacking structures and is demonstrated through the rational design and preparation of layered electrode materials with improved performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the electrode materials for room-temperature sodium-ion batteries is presented, with a focus on the latest development of electrode materials from 2013 and the advantages, disadvantages and future directions on the existing electrode materials.

TL;DR: An overview of Na-ion SSEs is first outlined according to the classification of solid polymer electrolytes, composite polymer electrolyte, inorganic solid electrolytes and the current challenges and critical perspectives for the potential development of solid-state sodium batteries are discussed in detail as mentioned in this paper.
