Abstract Exploiting high‐performance yet low‐cost hard carbon anodes is crucial to advancing the state‐of‐the‐art sodium‐ion batteries. However, achievement of superior initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and high Na‐storage capacity via low‐temperature carbonization remains challenging due presence tremendous defects with few closed pores. Here, a facile hybrid framework design proposed from polystyrene precursor bearing distinct molecular bridges at low pyrolysis temperature 800°C in situ...

The utilization of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) in all-solid-state sodium metal batteries has been extensively explored due to their excellent flexibility, processability adaptability match roll-to-roll manufacturing processes, and good interfacial contact with a high-capacity Na anode; however, SPEs are still impeded by inadequate mechanical strength, excessive thickness, poor stability anodes. Herein, robust, thin, cost-effective polyethylene (PE) film is employed as skeleton for...

Abstract Aqueous Zn ion batteries promise high safety and sustainability for large‐scale energy storage but are severely impeded by catastrophic dendrite growth parasitic reactions of anode with irreversible loss. Constructing ultrafine zincophilic seeding sites in hosting interphases has emerged as a viable strategy reversible plating/stripping. Nevertheless, systematic unravelling downsized nucleation spatial distribution along manifesting active loss mechanism, remains scant yet...

The nonuniform zinc nucleation process on the surface of metal anodes is known to result in irreversible dendrite growth, which brings risk short circuit for zinc‐ion hybrid supercapacitor (ZIHS). Herein, a conductive carbon−zinc composite anode with dense active sites reported achieve controllable growth. This unique modified ZIHS enables extremely low polarization (47 mV) symmetric battery test and delivers excellent application performance (capacity retention 97.7% 10 000 cycles). In...

Zinc Metal Batteries In article number 2401139, Hongqiang Wang, Fei Xu and co-workers develop atomic, encapsulated zincophilic Sn as seeding/hosting interphase (At-Sn@HCN) for homogeneous nucleation dendrite-free growth. The atomic-level serves robust sites to minimize barrier while the hollow architecture homogenizes local charge distribution. Therefore, dense Zn deposition is visualized with neglected loss At-Sn@HCN. Consequently, proof-of-concept full cells achieve prolonged cycling life...

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes are considered promising materials for realizing high-safety and high-energy-density lithium metal batteries. However, the high crystallinity of PEO at room temperature triggers low ionic conductivity Li+ transference number, critically hindering practical applications in solid-state Herein, we prepared nanosized TiO2 with enriched oxygen vacancies down to 13 nm as fillers by laser irradiation, which can be coated situ generated...

Aqueous zinc-ion-based devices exhibit an attractive prospect in large-scale energy storage due to their safe, environmentally friendly, and low-cost characteristics. Nevertheless, the Zn metal anode suffers critically from severe parasitic reactions dendrites, mainly as a result of lack stable interphase layers. Herein, we propose situ grafting ultrathin molecular brush (≈10 nm thickness) artificial solid electrolyte (SEI) for highly reversible dendrite-free by surface-grafting strategy....
