Abstract In electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) accounts for a large proportion of consumption. The electrocatalytic urea oxidation (UOR) is one promising alternatives to OER, owing its low thermodynamic potential. However, sluggish UOR kinetics, potential in practical use has not been unlocked. Herein, we developed tungsten‐doped nickel catalyst (Ni‐WO x ) with superior activity towards UOR. Ni‐WO exhibited record fast kinetics...
Metallic tin has been considered as one of the most promising anode materials both for lithium (LIBs) and sodium ion battery (NIBs) because a high theoretical capacity an appropriate low discharge potential. However, Sn anodes suffer from rapid fading during cycling due to pulverization induced by severe volume changes. Here we innovatively synthesized pipe-wire TiO2-Sn@carbon nanofibers (TiO2-Sn@CNFs) via electrospinning atomic layer deposition suppress pulverization-induced decay. In...
Engineering a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical for suppression of lithium dendrites.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculation and experimental characterization demonstrate that has large interfacial energy with Li metal...
A water-in-salt electrolyte (WiSE) offers an electrochemical stability window much wider than typical aqueous electrolytes but still falls short in accommodating high-energy anode materials, mainly because of the enrichment water molecules primary solvation sheath Li+.

Li-rich layered-oxide cathodes have the highest theoretical energy density among all intercalated cathodes, which attracted intense interests for high-energy Li-ion batteries. However, O3-structured suffer from a low initial Coulombic efficiency (CE), severe voltage fade, and poor cycling stability because of continuous oxygen release, structural rearrangements due to irreversible transition-metal migration, serious side reactions between delithiated cathode electrolyte. Herein, we report...
