Electrocatalyst development has been a cornerstone for fuel cell applications but heavily hindered by several technical challenges, especially the insufficient activity and poor durability of electrocatalysts toward sluggish kinetics oxygen reduction reaction. Here we propose our perspective on exciting developments in unsupported platinum (Pt)-based nanocatalysts, with an emphasis multidimensional Pt architectures as alternative to carbon-supported electrocatalysts. After reviewing recent...

Abstract Water‐in‐salt (WIS) electrolytes using super‐concentrated organic lithium (Li) salts are of interest for aqueous Li‐ion batteries. However, the high salt cost, viscosity, poor wettability, and environmental hazards remain a great challenge. Herein, we present localized water‐in‐salt (LWIS) electrolyte based on low‐cost nitrate (LiNO 3 ) 1,5‐pentanediol (PD) as inert diluent. The addition PD maintains solvation structure WIS electrolyte, improves stability via hydrogen‐bonding...

Abstract Rechargeable halide-ion batteries (HIBs) are good candidates for large-scale due to their appealing energy density, low cost, and dendrite-free features. However, state-of-the-art electrolytes limit the HIBs’ performance cycle life. Here, via experimental measurements modelling approach, we demonstrate that dissolutions in electrolyte of transition metal elemental halogen from positive electrode discharge products negative cause HIBs failure. To circumvent these issues, propose...

Flexible Na/K‐ion batteries (NIBs/KIBs) exhibit great potential applications and have drawn much attention due to the continuous development of flexible electronics. However, there are still many huge challenges, mainly design construction electrodes (cathode anode) with outstanding electrochemical properties. In this work, a unique approach prepare electrode is proposed by utilizing commercially available cotton cloth–derived carbon cloth (CC) as anode substrate cathode. The binder‐free,...

Rechargeable multivalent metal (e.g., zinc (Zn) and aluminum (Al)) batteries are ideal choices for large-scale energy storage owing to their intrinsic low cost safety. However, the poor compatibility between metallic anodes electrolytes strongly hampers practical applications. Herein, it is demonstrated that confining metals in a biomimetic scaffold (Bio-scaffold) can achieve highly efficient plating/stripping. This Bio-scaffold well-tailored through synergy of parallel-aligned array fractal...
