A hybrid Mg2+/Li+ battery operates at a high potential of 2.45 V and delivers superior properties, especially at ultra-low temperature (77% capacity retention at −40 °C), which is preferable for many peculiar fields and places, such as polar regions, aerospace, and deep offshore waters.

Abstract Anode-free Li metal batteries are considered the ultimate configuration for next-generation Li-based batteries due to the nonuse of excess Li metal and high energy density. However, the limited Li source worsens the issues in anode caused by Li dendrites and dead Li. Any Li loss in the formation of SEI and dead Li has a great influence on the full cell. Here, we introduce LiI with shuttle effect to suppress the Li dendrites and reactivate the dead Li in the anode-free LiFePO4 (LFP) |Cu full cells. During cycling, the iodine will transform between I and I3, and a chemical reaction will occur spontaneously between I3 and Li dendrites or dead Li. The generated Li in the electrolyte will be active in the following cycling. The anode-free LFP|Cu cells deliver an initial discharge capacity of 139 mAh g-1 and maintain capacities of 100 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 72% after 100 cycles. Both the anode-free LFP|Cu coin cells and pouch cells with LiI additive show much-improved performances. This work provides a new strategy for high-performance anode-free Li metal batteries.

Solar energy and ambient heat are two inexhaustible energy sources for addressing the global challenge of energy and sustainability. Solar thermal battery based on molecular switches that can store solar energy and release it as heat has recently attracted great interest, but its development is severely limited by both low energy density and short storage stability. On the other hand, the efficient recovery and upgrading of low-grade heat, especially that of the ambient heat, has been a great challenge. Here we report that solar energy and ambient heat can be simultaneously harvested and stored, which is enabled by room-temperature photochemical crystal-to-liquid transitions of small-molecule photoswitches. The two forms of energy are released together to produce high-temperature heat during the reverse photochemical phase change. This strategy, combined with molecular design, provides high energy density of 320-370 J/g and long-term storage stability (half-life of about 3 months). On this basis, we fabricate high-performance, flexible film devices of solar thermal battery, which can be readily recharged at room temperature with good cycling ability, show fast rate of heat release, and produce high-temperature heat that is >20<sup> o</sup>C higher than the ambient temperature. Our work opens up a new avenue to harvest ambient heat, and demonstrate a feasible strategy to develop high-performance solar thermal battery.
