Abstract Although Zn metal has been regarded as the most promising anode for aqueous batteries, it persistently suffers from serious side reactions and dendrite growth in mild electrolyte. Spontaneous corrosion hydrogen evolution damage shelf life calendar of Zn‐based severely affecting their industrial applications. Herein, a robust homogeneous ZnS interphase is built situ on surface by vapor–solid strategy to enhance reversibility. The thickness film controlled via treatment temperature,...
Hydrogen generation from the direct splitting of water by photocatalysis is regarded as a promising and renewable solution for energy crisis. The key to realize this reaction find an efficient robust photocatalyst that ideally makes use sunlight. Recently, due attractive properties such appropriate band structure, ultrahigh specific surface area, more exposed active sites, two-dimensional (2D) photocatalysts have attracted significant attention photocatalytic splitting. This Review attempts...
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are interesting as one of the alternative metal-ion battery systems to lithium-ion (LIBs) due abundance and low cost potassium. We have herein investigated Sn4P3/C composite a novel anode material for PIBs. The electrode delivered reversible capacity 384.8 mA h g-1 at 50 good rate capability 221.9 g-1, even 1 A g-1. Its electrochemical performance is better than any reported so far It was also found that displays discharge potential plateau 0.1 V in PIBs,...
Abstract Zn metal has been regarded as the most promising anode for aqueous batteries due to its high capacity, low cost, and environmental benignity. still suffers, however, from Coulombic efficiency side reactions dendrite growth in slightly acidic electrolytes. Here, plating/stripping mechanism is thoroughly investigated 1 m ZnSO 4 electrolyte, demonstrating that poor performance of mild electrolyte should be ascribed formation a porous by‐product (Zn SO (OH) 6 · x H 2 O) layer serious...
Going into their shell: A novel carbon–sulfur nanocomposite has been synthesized by confining sulfur in double-shelled "soft" carbon hollow spheres (see figure) with high surface area and porosity. This shows outstanding electrochemical performance when evaluated as a cathode material for lithium–sulfur batteries. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They made available...
Abstract Antisolvent addition has been widely studied in crystallization the pharmaceutical industries by breaking solvation balance of original solution. Here we report a similar antisolvent strategy to boost Zn reversibility via regulation electrolyte on molecular level. By adding for example methanol into ZnSO 4 electrolyte, free water and coordinated 2+ sheath gradually interact with antisolvent, which minimizes activity weakens solvation. Concomitantly, dendrite‐free deposition occurs...
Constructing heterostructures can endow materials with fascinating performance in high-speed electronics, optoelectronics, and other applications owing to the built-in charge-transfer driving force, which is of benefit specific kinetics. Rational design controllable synthesis nano-heterostructure anode high-rate performance, however, still remains a great challenge. Herein, ultrafine SnS/SnO2 were successfully fabricated showed enhanced capability. The mobility enhancement attributed...

Recent research progresses on high performance anode materials for high-energy sodium-ion batteries are comprehensively summarized.
The differences and similarities of the Zn electrode in both alkaline mild electrolytes have been thoroughly clarified.
Abstract Rechargeable aqueous Zn‐ion batteries promise high capacity, low cost, safety, and sustainability for large‐scale energy storage. The Zn metal anode, however, suffers from the dendrite growth side reactions that are mainly due to absence of an appropriate solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer. Herein, in situ formation a dense, stable, highly 2+ ‐conductive SEI layer (hopeite) chemistry is demonstrated, by introducing Zn(H 2 PO 4 ) salt into electrolyte. hopeite (≈140 nm...
Lightweight conductive graphene/thermoplastic polyurethane foams exhibited stable piezoresistive sensing signals at a strain of up to 90%.
Structural phase transitions can be used to alter the properties of a material without adding any additional elements and are therefore significant technological value. It was found that hexagonal-SnS2 transformed into orthorhombic-SnS after an annealing step in argon atmosphere, thus SnS shows enhanced sodium-ion storage performance over SnS2, which is attributed its structural advantages. Here, we provide first report on SnS@graphene architecture for application as battery anode, built...

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (RZIBs) provide a promising complementarity to the existing lithium-ion due their low cost, non-toxicity and intrinsic safety. However, Zn anodes suffer from zinc dendrite growth electrolyte corrosion, resulting in poor reversibility. Here, we develop an ultrathin, fluorinated two-dimensional porous covalent organic framework (FCOF) film as protective layer on surface. The strong interaction between fluorine (F) FCOF reduces surface energy of (002)...
