Combined experimental and computational studies show that, upon reducing the diameter of Pt nanoparticles down to 1 nm, a collapse in crystalline structure occurs spontaneously thus-induced quantum size effect causes decline catalytic activity toward hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). The conversion from amorphous is rationalized by molecular dynamic simulations; special electronic revealed via density functional calculations. Not only has present work estimated utilization limit for HOR,...
Nickel–iron sulfides with a sea urchin-like architecture are controllably synthesized and exhibit enhanced OER activities.
Abstract A vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) array with unique conically stacked graphitic structure directly grown on a planar Cu current collector (denoted as VACNF/Cu) is used high‐porosity 3D host to overcome the commonly encountered issues of Li metal anodes. The excellent electrical conductivity and highly active lithiophilic edge sites facilitate homogenous coaxial plating/stripping around each VACNF forming uniform solid electrolyte interphase. high specific surface area...

Concentration polarization issues and lithium dendrite formation, which associate inherently with the commercial dual-ion electrolytes, restrict performance of ion batteries. Single conducting polymer electrolytes (SIPEs) high transference numbers (t + ≈ 1) are being intensively studied to circumvent these issues. Herein, poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (EVOH) is chosen as backbone then grafted 3-chloropropanesulfonyl(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiCPSI) via Williamson's reaction,...

The all-solid-state single ion conducting polymer electrolyte has a bottleneck in ionic conductivity even though it can prevent concentration polarization. Here, lithium 3,3'-(diallylammonio)bis(propane-1-sulfonyl(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide) (LiDAA(PSI)2) with symmetrical "one positive, two negative" structure and unsaturated double bonds for propagation, is synthesized. LiDAA(PSI)2 copolymerized 1,2-ethanedithiol poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate via photoinitiated thiol-ene click...

Abstract Lithium-sulfur batteries are highly promising for electric energy storage with high density, abundant resources and low cost. However, the battery technologies have often suffered from a short cycle life poor rate stability arising well-known “polysulfide shuttle” effect. Here, we report novel cell design by sandwiching sp 3 boron based single ion conducting polymer electrolyte film between two carbon films to fabricate composite separator lithium-sulfur batteries. The dense...
