Sodium co-intercalation in graphite negative electrodes delivers high-rate kinetics, and yet its implementation is plagued by notorious reaction potential. While prior efforts reduce the co-intercalation potential, the design remains limited by the intrinsic properties of electrolyte. Herein, a flex...
