Multifunctional aqueous rechargeable batteries (MARBs) are regarded as safe, cost-effective, and scalable electrochemical energy storage devices, which offer additional functionalities that conventional batteries cannot achieve, which ideally leads to unprecedented applications. Although MARBs are among the most exciting and rapidly growing topics in scientific research and industrial development nowadays, a systematic summary of the evolution and advances in the field of MARBs is still not available. Therefore, the review presented comprehensively and systematically summarizes the design principles and the recent advances of MARBs by categories of smart ARBs and integrated systems, together with an analysis of their device design and configuration, electrochemical performance, and diverse smart functions. The two most promising strategies to construct novel MARBs may be A) the introduction of functional materials into ARB components, and B) integration of ARBs with other functional devices. The ongoing challenges and future perspectives in this research and development field are outlined to foster the future development of MARBs. Finally, the most important upcoming research directions in this rapidly developing field are highlighted that may be most promising to lead to the commercialization of MARBs and to a further broadening of their range of applications.
多功能水系可充电电池（MARBs）被视为安全、经济高效且可扩展的电化学储能装置，它具有传统电池无法实现的附加功能，理想情况下可带来前所未有的应用。尽管MARBs是当今科研和产业发展中最令人兴奋且发展迅速的主题之一，但目前仍缺乏对MARBs领域的演变和进展的系统总结。因此，本综述全面系统地按智能水系可充电电池和集成系统类别总结了MARBs的设计原理和最新进展，并分析了其器件设计与配置、电化学性能以及多样的智能功能。构建新型MARBs的两种最具前景的策略可能是：A）将功能材料引入水系可充电电池组件；B）将水系可充电电池与其他功能器件集成。概述了该研发领域当前面临的挑战和未来展望，以推动MARBs的未来发展。最后，强调了这一快速发展领域中最重要的即将到来的研究方向，这些方向可能最有希望促成MARBs的商业化并进一步拓宽其应用范围。
