The commercial prospects for multivalent metal-ion batteries are still unclear due to fundamental scientific questions and engineering challenges. Recent progress in understanding capacity contributions and mechanisms for different charge carriers highlights the need for further research in this area. Addressing challenges such as cell balancing and increasing metal anode utilization will be crucial for realizing practical multivalent metal-ion batteries.
Despite mounting interest and extensive research efforts in developing multivalent (MV) metal-ion battery chemistries (Zn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Al3+, etc.), the commercial prospects for these energy storage systems are still obfuscated by fundamental scientific questions and engineering challenges. In particular, the charge storage mechanism(s) of the positive electrode and the implications on achievable electrode and full cell-level performance remain intensely debated topics in the field. In this minireview, we highlight some of the recent progress and uncertainty in elucidating capacity contributions and accompanying mechanisms for different charge carriers (H+, MV-ion, structural ion, anion, and charged solvates/complexes). We then present cell balancing and increasing metal anode utilization as major remaining challenges and propose design strategies and future directions for realizing practical MV metal-ion batteries.
