Lowering platinum (Pt) loadings without sacrificing power density and durability in fuel cells is highly desired yet challenging because of the high mass transport resistance near catalyst surfaces. We tailored three-phase microenvironment by optimizing ionomer incorporating ionic covalent organic framework (COF) nanosheets into Nafion. The mesoporous apertures 2.8 to 4.1 nanometers appendant sulfonate groups enabled proton transfer promoted oxygen permeation. activity Pt peak cell with...

Abstract Aqueous electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices have attracted considerable attention due to their advantages of low cost and high safety. However, the freeze aqueous electrolytes usually causes dramatic loss ionic conduction capacity, thereby seriously restricting low‐temperature application such EES devices. Herein, different from traditional frozen electrolytes, a Zn(ClO 4 ) 2 salty ice with superior conductivity (1.3 × 10 −3 S cm −1 even at −60 °C) is discovered. It...

Abstract 2D ion‐intercalated metal oxides are emerging promising new electrodes for supercapacitors because of their unique layered structure as well distinctive electronic properties. To facilitate application, fundamental study the charge storage mechanism is required. Herein, it demonstrated that application in situ Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM‐D), provides a sufficient basis to elucidate typical cation‐intercalated...

Dual ion batteries (DIBs) have recently attracted ever-increasing attention owing to the potential advantages of low material cost and good environmental friendliness. However, safety hazards, cost, concerns mainly resulted from commonly used nonaqueous organic solvents severely hinder practical application DIBs. Herein, a hybrid aqueous/nonaqueous water-in-bisalt electrolyte with both broad electrochemical stability window excellent performance is developed. The lithium-based DIB assembled...

Abstract Pseudocapacitance‐induced electrochemical actuators (EC‐actuators) have attracted great attention in robots and artificial intelligence technologies. Despite major efforts to design such EC‐actuators, a molecular‐level understanding of the deformation mechanism is still lacking. Here, reversible freestanding MnO 2 /Ni bilayer film demonstrated situ atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, density functional theory simulation are used study origin deformation. The results show...

“Water-in-salt” (WIS) electrolytes can enlarge the electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes, and thus help to achieve safe high-voltage energy storage devices. WIS use highly concentrated salts, which raises an important concern about temperature availability.
