Cover Story: Growing electrification demands scalable energy storage beyond lithium-ion batteries, which face limits in cost, resources, safety, and sustainability. Multivalent-ion batteries using magnesium, calcium, zinc, and aluminum offer higher volumetric capacity, abundant materials, and improved safety because each ion transfers multiple electrons. However, strong electrostatic interactions cause slow diffusion, poor reversibility, and interfacial instability. This review analyzes recent advances that address these barriers through tailored cathodes, stable anodes, and optimized electrolytes and compares magnesium, calcium, zinc, and aluminum systems, identifying synergistic advances. The review concludes with the development of a technology roadmap outlining the timeframe and industries for the integration of each battery technology. View this paper
