Rapidly growing global demand for high energy density rechargeable batteries has driven the research toward developing new chemistries and battery systems beyond Li-ion batteries. Due to the advantages of delivering more than one electron and giving more charge capacity, the multivalent systems have gained considerable attention. At the same time, affordability, ease of fabrication and safety aspects have also directed researchers to focus on aqueous electrolyte based multivalent intercalation batteries. There have been a decent number of publications disclosing capabilities and challenges of several multivalent battery systems in aqueous electrolytes, and while considering an increasing interest in this area, here, we present a brief overview of their recent progress, including electrode chemistries, functionalities and challenges.
全球对高能量密度可充电电池的需求迅速增长，推动了对开发锂离子电池以外的新化学组成和电池系统的研究。由于多价体系具有传递多个电子并提供更多电荷容量的优势，因此受到了广泛关注。同时，成本可承受性、易于制造以及安全方面也促使研究人员将重点放在基于水性电解质的多价插层电池上。已经有相当数量的出版物披露了几种水性电解质多价电池系统的性能和挑战，鉴于该领域的关注度不断提高，在此，我们简要概述它们的最新进展，包括电极化学组成、功能和挑战。
