TL;DR: This review highlights various aqueous rechargeable metal-ion batteries with focuses on their voltage characteristics and strategies that can effectively raise battery voltage, as well as potential directions for further improvements and future perspectives of this thriving field.

TL;DR: Morphological analysis reveals that vertically aligned Zn dendrites with sharp tips gradually become passivated and finally generate a smooth surface, and a first-in-class electrohealing methodology is developed to eliminate already-formed dendrite, generating extremely prolonged lifespans.

TL;DR: Carbon dots inducing petal-like rutile TiO2 wrapped by ultrathin graphene-rich layers are proposed to fabricate superior anodes for sodium-ion batteries, featuring high-rate capabilities and long-term cyclelife, benefiting from promoted electron transport and a shortened Na+ diffusion length.

TL;DR: Hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY), with sub-ångström level ion tunnels and robust chemical stability, is designed as an artificial interface layer to address dendrite elimination in Zn batteries and prolongs the symmetric cell lifespan to >2400 h (100 days), which is 37 times larger than without protection.
