Abstract With extremely high specific capacity, silicon has attracted enormous interest as a promising anode material for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries. However, suffers from large volume variation during charge/discharge cycles, which leads to the pulverization of and subsequent separation conductive additives, eventually resulting in rapid capacity fading poor cycle life. Here, it is shown that utilization self‐healable supramolecular polymer, facilely synthesized by...
Abstract As a promising candidate for next‐generation energy storage devices, Zn metal battery excels with their good safety, high specific capacity, and economic attractiveness. However, it still suffers from narrow electrochemical window, notorious dendrite formation, sluggish ion transfer. Aqueous electrolyte engineering has been regarded as an effective way to improve these. It is shown that by adding sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) polymers into dilute 1 m Zn(OTf) 2 aqueous...
Abstract The engineering of anode‐electrolyte interphase for highly reversible and dendrite‐free Zn plating‐stripping continues to pose a significant challenge in the progression aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs). In this study, novel approach is introduced that involves design hierarchical carbon nanotube (CNT)‐based host through functionalization with cetyltrimethylammonium cations (CTA + ). This enables dynamically switchable repulsive shielding regulate plating. CNT scaffold, featured...
Abstract With the merits of high energy density batteries and power supercapacitors, aqueous Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors emerge as a promising candidate for applications where both rapid delivery moderate storage are required. However, narrow electrochemical window electrolytes induces severe side reactions on Zn metal anode shortens its lifespan. It also limits operation voltage supercapacitors. Using ‘water in salt’ can effectively broaden their windows, but this is at expense cost, low...
The lithium (Li)-metal anode offers a promising solution for high-energy-density lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). However, the significant volume expansion of Li metal during charging results in poor cycling stability as result dendritic deposition and broken solid electrolyte interphase. Herein, facile one-step roll-to-roll fabrication zero-volume-expansion Li-metal-composite (zeroVE-Li) is proposed to realize LMBs with outstanding electrochemical mechanical stability. zeroVE-Li possesses...

Selective catalytic tailoring of herbaceous lignin for the production methyl <italic>p</italic>-hydroxycinnamate (MPC).
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are known for their biocompatibility and versatile applications in the biomedical sector. These CQDs retain high solubility, robust chemical inertness, facile modification, good resistance to photobleaching, which makes them ideal cell bioimaging. Many fabrication processes produce CQDs, but most require expensive equipment, toxic chemicals, a long processing time. This study developed rapid toasting method prepare using various slices of bread as precursors...
Abstract The zinc dendrite growth and the parasitic hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) hinder commercialization of batteries. To address this, a hydroxyl‐rich Boehmite coating (HR‐BC) strategy is developed that combines excellent electrical insulation high ion conductivity. hydrophilic hydroxyl groups facilitate bond formation with hydrated ions, accelerating de‐solvation process suppressing HER. Additionally, electrically insulative nature prevents reduction ions within HR‐BC results in...

Mediated through the combined action of STIM proteins and Orai channels, store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) functions ubiquitously among different cell types. The existence multiple genes has made it difficult to assign specific roles each homolog in mediating signals. Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tools, we generated cells with both or all three homologs deleted directly monitored store We found that unstimulated, SOCE null KO still retain 50~70% ER stores wildtype (wt) cells. After brief...
