Abstract Solid‐state lithium‐metal batteries with solid electrolytes are promising for next‐generation energy‐storage devices. However, it remains challenging to develop that both mechanically robust and strong against external mechanical load, due the brittleness of ceramic softness polymer electrolytes. Herein, a nacre‐inspired design ceramic/polymer composite “brick‐and‐mortar” microstructure is proposed. The nacre‐like electrolyte (NCPE) simultaneously possesses much higher fracture...
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are attractive for next-generation energy storage, because they more thermally stable compared to conventional liquid and simpler scalable manufacturing than ceramic electrolytes. However, there is a growing body of research suggesting that the interfacial instabilities between SPEs other battery components (e.g., electrodes electrolyte fillers) hinder their practical applications. This Perspective highlights degradation mechanisms at these interfaces...
Abstract With the rapid increase in lithium consumption for electric vehicle applications, its price soared during past decade. To secure a reliable and cost-effective supply chain, it is critical to unlock alternative extraction resources beyond conventional brine. In this study, we develop an electrochemical method directly leach from α-phase spodumene. We find H 2 O promoter can significantly reduce leaching potential by facilitating electron transfer changing reaction path. Upon...
Traditional Li-ion intercalation chemistry into graphite anodes exclusively utilizes the cointercalation-free or cointercalation mechanism. The latter mechanism is based on ternary compounds (t-GICs), where glyme solvents were explored and proved to deliver unsatisfactory cyclability in LIBs. Herein, we report a novel mechanism, that is, situ synthesis of t-GIC tetrahydrofuran (THF) electrolyte via spontaneous, controllable reaction between binary-GIC (b-GIC) free THF molecules during...
Keloids are a typical skin fibroproliferative disease that can cause severe aesthetic and functional concerns. Pain pruritus the most common clinical symptoms of keloids, but mechanisms underlying these remain unclear. The peripheral nervous system plays pivotal role in transmission superficial sensation signals. Mounting evidence has shown potential correlations between disturbance pain keloids. Here, we summarize neurological dysfunction development pruritus, with specific focus on...
Designing the solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical for stable, fast-charging, low-temperature Li-ion batteries. Fostering a “fluorinated interphase,” SEI enriched with LiF, has become popular design strategy. Although LiF possesses low conductivity, many studies have reported favorable battery performance fluorinated SEIs. Such contradiction suggests that optimizing must extend beyond chemical composition to consider spatial distributions of different species. In this work, we...
The electrode-electrolyte interface governs the kinetics and reversibility of all electrochemical processes. While theoretical models can calculate simulate structure associated properties this intriguing component, their validation by direct experimental measurement has been a long-standing challenge. Electrocapillarity is classical technique that derives interfacial through potential-dependent surface tensions, but its limited resolution confined application to ideal systems such as...
Iron fluoride compounds offer an exciting pathway toward low-cost and high-capacity conversion-type lithium-ion battery (LIB) cathodes. However, due to the sluggishness of electronic ionic transport in iron fluorides, mass loadings active materials previous studies are typically less than 2.5 mg cm–2, which is too low for practical applications. Herein, we improve charge electrodes at both nano- mesoscales enable high-mass-loading electrodes. At nanoscale, prepare electronically conducting...

Designed growth of zinc oxide (ZnO)/poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) core/shell hybrid nanotube arrays has been achieved by electropolymerization technique. The ZnO/PEDOT nanotubes electropolymerized for 2000‐second display enhanced electrochromic properties the contrast ratio up to 31.3%, a lot higher than those pure PEDOT and nanorods. Moreover, coloring efficiency increases from 105.2 cm 2 C −1 nantotube with electrodeposition time 1000 seconds 122.2 2000 at 520 nm. Therefore,...

We elucidate dependence pit size density on current overpotential, which is aligned classical theory. With laser scanning confocal microscope, reveal preferential certain crystal...
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) coupled denitrification is considered the typical abiotic-biotic synergistic process, but its underlying electron transfer mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we performed a heavy water labeling single-cell Raman spectroscopy (D 2 O-SCRS) for in-situ and dynamic characterization of Cytochrome c-mediated process with coexisting nZVI model denitrifying bacterium. Interestingly, resulted in strong effect high efficiency 99.8% (~100 mg L -1 NO 3 -N),...
