ABSTRACT
Multi-electron reaction can be regarded as an effective way of building high-energy systems
(>500 W h kg−1 ). However, some confusions hinder the development of multi-electron mechanisms, such
as clear concept, complex reaction, material design and electrolyte optimization and full-cell fabrication.
Therefore, this review discusses the basic theories and application bottlenecks of multi-electron
mechanisms from the view of thermodynamic and dynamic principles. In future, high-energy batteries,
metal anodes and multi-electron cathodes are promising electrode materials with high theoretical capacity
