Abstract
Anions serve as an essential component of electrolytes, whose effects have long been ignored. However, since the 2010s, we have seen a considerable increase of anion chemistry research in a range of energy storage devices, and it is now understood that anions can be well tuned to effectively improve the electrochemical performance of such devices in many aspects. In this Review, we discuss the roles of anion chemistry across various energy storage devices and clarify the correlations between anion properties and their performance indexes. We highlight the effects of anions on surface and interface chemistry, mass transfer kinetics and solvation sheath structure. Finally, we conclude with a perspective on the challenges and opportunities of anion chemistry for enhancing specific capacity, output voltage, cycling stability and anti-self-discharge ability of energy storage devices.
