    Internal cracks limit the durability of layered oxide positive electrodes in high-voltage Li-ion batteries. Zhao et al. show that phase transitions and lattice oxygen migration jointly drive crack propagation in LiCoO2, with trapped oxygen gas contributing to structural failure.

    Anode-less aqueous zinc batteries promise safe, energy-dense storage but are limited by zinc loss. Zhao et al. reveal galvanic corrosion as a key failure path and design a hybrid interface to suppress parasitic reactions and promote dense/reversible Zn deposition

    Zinc-based batteries offer safe energy storage but are limited by damaging dendrite growth. Here, Zeyu Wang et al. report a zinc specific nucleation model and stability metric to design an electrolyte that prevents dendrites and stabilizes long-lasting batteries
