A Critical Review of Ultrafast Charging Dual-Ion Batteries
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-024-00255-6
Abstract
With the increasing prevalence of mobile devices and electric vehicles, the demand for energy storage systems has risen
signifi cantly. The current widely used lithium-ion battery architecture demonstrates the limitations of available materials and
electrochemistry. Therefore, advanced battery systems, such as ultrafast charging/discharging, are necessary. Herein, we aim
to elaborate on one of the most promising candidates among them, the dual-ion batteries (DIBs). Diff ering from conventional
rocking-chair batteries, DIBs utilize both cations and anions as charge carriers, addressing rate-limiting steps and eliminating
the need for ions to travel between electrodes during charge and discharge, thereby enabling ultrafast charging. In this review,
we discuss the principles of ultrafast charging in DIBs, explore various types and their working mechanisms, and examine
optimization strategies to enhance their performance. In addition, we highlight ongoing eff orts and future perspectives in
DIB development, aiming to stimulate further innovative research in this emerging fi eld of energy storage.
