Ubiquitous implementation of microelectronics in microelectromechanical systems requires stable power supplies and necessitates development of on-chip miniature power sources, such as microbatteries. However, conventional thin-film batteries exhibit limited surface area and sluggish diffusion kinetics with insufficient energy and power density. In contrast, three-dimensional (3D) beyond-lithium (sodium, zinc, aluminum, etc.) battery architectures can significantly enhance the areal energy and power and meanwhile maintain the low-cost mass production. Despite this, the future of beyond-lithium systems is being questioned as they each present shortcomings. In this Comment, we discuss scientific advancements in reaction kinetics control, electrochemical stability improvements, and reaction mechanism understandings in 3D beyond-lithium battery systems, and finally, call for intensive research effort to address the challenges and develop strategies that can pave the way toward their commercialization.
