Aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs) have become a lively research theme due to their advantages of low cost, safety, environmental friendliness, and easy manufacturing. However, since its inception, the aqueous solution energy storage system has always faced some problems, which hinders its development, such as the narrow electrochemical stability window of water, poor percolation of electrode materials, and low energy density. In recent years, to overcome the shortcomings of the aqueous solution-based energy storage system, some very pioneering work has been done, which also provides a great inspiration for further research and development of future high-performance aqueous energy storage systems. In this paper, the latest advances in various ARBs with high voltage and high energy density are reviewed. These include aqueous rechargeable lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum batteries. Further challenges are pointed out.
