Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with fast-charge capability and long lifespan could be applied in various sustainable energy storage systems, from personal devices to grid storage. Inspired by the disordered Rubik's cube, here, we report that high-entropy (HE) concept can lead a very substantial improvement sodium properties of hexacyanoferrate (HCF). An example HE-HCF has been synthesized as proof concept, which achieved impressive cycling stability over 50 000 cycles an outstanding...

Herein, a family intrinsic ferroelectrics with flexible tetragonal tungsten bronze structure chosen to accommodate oxygen evolution reaction (OER) active sites together freedom tuning polarization. It found that OER performance positively correlated polarization,...
Piezocatalysis emerges as a distinctive approach for producing free radicals to drive catalysis. However, the piezoelectric effect exclusively manifests in non-centrosymmetric materials, which largely constraints use of materials with centrosymmetry.
