Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are considered one of the most promising large-scale energy storage technologies. However, conventional RFBs suffer from low energy density due to the low solubility of the active materials in electrolyte. On the basis of the redox targeting reactions of battery materials, the redox flow lithium battery (RFLB) demonstrated in this report presents a disruptive approach to drastically enhancing the energy density of flow batteries. With LiFePO4 and TiO2 as the cathodic and anodic Li storage materials, respectively, the tank energy density of RFLB could reach ~500 watt-hours per liter (50% porosity), which is 10 times higher than that of a vanadium redox flow battery. The cell exhibits good electrochemical performance under a prolonged cycling test. Our prototype RFLB full cell paves the way toward the development of a new generation of flow batteries for large-scale energy storage.

Abstract Non–aqueous rechargeable multivalent metal (Ca, Mg, Al, etc.) batteries are promising for large–scale energy storage due to their low cost. However, their practical applications face formidable challenges owing to low electrochemical reversibility and dendrite growth of multivalent metal anodes, sluggish kinetics of multivalent ion in metal oxide cathodes, and poor electrode compatibility of flammable organic electrolytes. To overcome these intrinsic hurdles, we develop aqueous multivalent ion batteries to replace the prevailing non–aqueous multivalent metal batteries by using wide–window super–concentrated aqueous gel electrolytes, the versatile high–capacity sulfur anodes, and high–voltage metal oxide cathodes. This rationally designed aqueous battery chemistry enables the long–lasting multivalent ion batteries featured with increased high energy density, reversibility and safety. As a demonstration model, a calcium ion−sulfur||metal oxide full cell exhibited a high energy density of 110 Wh kg–1 with outstanding cycling stability. Molecular dynamics modelling and experimental investigations revealed that the side reactions could be significantly restrained through the suppressed water activity and formation of protective inorganic solid electrolyte interphase in the aqueous gel electrolyte. The unique redox chemistry has also been successfully extended to aqueous magnesium ion and aluminum ion−sulfur||metal oxide batteries. This work will boost aqueous multivalent ion batteries for low−cost large–scale energy storage.

Aqueous zinc batteries are considered as one of the most promising energy storage systems for large-scale energy storage and wearable electronics, owing to their low cost and intrinsic safety. However, cathode materials that can reversibly host Zn<sup>2+</sup> are still less. Here, we demonstrate that two N-containing organic compounds, hexamethoxy hexaazatrinaphthylene (HMHATN) and hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATN), used as cathodes can exhibit excellent reversible Zn<sup>2+</sup> storage capability with fast kinetics and the high capacity of 542 and 963 mA h g<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. The Zn//HMHATN and Zn//HATN full batteries display the high energy density of 160 and 221.6 W h kg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, and long-term cycling stability. Further, we investigate the mechanism of Zn<sup>2+</sup> storage in the cathodes. More importantly, the flexible aqueous Zn//HMHATN and Zn//HATN batteries fabricated also have high capacity, long-term cycling life and impressive energy density, displaying its application prospect in wearable electronics. Our work opens a new system for finding organic cathode materials used in aqueous zinc batteries.
