Abstract As a prospective next‐generation energy storage solution, lithium–sulfur batteries excel at their economical attractiveness (sulfur abundance) and electrochemical performance (high density, ≈2600 Wh kg −1 ). However, application is impracticable without addressing the following vital issues: i) shuttling effect of lithium polysulfides (LPSs), ii) sluggish redox conversion kinetics LPSs, iii) large volumetric expansion S after lithiation (≈80%), iv) uncontrollable Li dendritic...

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...
