The sustained water consumption and uncontrollable dendrite growth strongly hamper the practical applications of rechargeable zinc (Zn) metal batteries (ZMBs). Herein, for first time, we demonstrate that trace amount chelate ligand additive can serve as a "molecular sieve-like" interfacial barrier achieve highly efficient Zn plating/stripping. As verified by theoretical modeling experimental investigations, benzenesulfonic acid groups on molecular not only facilitates its solubility...
Two-dimensional (2D) nanofluidic membranes have shown great promise in harvesting osmotic energy from the salinity difference between seawater and fresh water. However, output power densities are strongly hampered by insufficient membrane permselectivity. Herein, we demonstrate that vacancy engineering is an effective strategy to enhance permselectivity of 2D achieve high-efficiency generation. Phosphorus vacancies were facilely created on NbOPO4 (NbP) nanosheets, which remarkably enlarged...
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...
Aqueous zinc (Zn) metal batteries (ZMBs) have received great attention due to their safety and environmental friendliness. Although aqueous electrolytes facilitate fast kinetics in oxide cathodes, incompatibility with the Zn anodes triggers severe hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) dendrite growth. Herein, a self-phase separated electrolyte (SPSE) is proposed fulfill contradictory requirements of anode cathode ZMBs. Molecular modeling experimental investigations verify that hydrophobic...
An effective passivation approach to protect black phosphorus (BP) from degradation based on multi-scale simulations is proposed. The self-assembly of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride monolayers via van der Waals epitaxy BP does not break the original electronic properties BP. layer thickness only 2 nm. This study opens up a new pathway toward fine
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...
Rechargeable room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) batteries are a promising energy storage technology, owing to the merits of high density and low cost. However, their electrochemical performance has been severely hindered by poor compatibility between existing electrolytes electrodes. Here, we demonstrate that an all-fluorinated electrolyte, containing 2,2,2-trifluoro-N,N-dimethylacetamide (FDMA) solvent, 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl methyl ether (MTFE) anti-solvent fluoroethylene carbonate...
Abstract Lithium garnets are considered as promising solid‐state electrolytes for next‐generation Li metal batteries (SSLBs). However, the intrusion driven by external stack pressure triggers premature of batteries. Herein, first time, an in situ constructed interfacial shield is reported to efficiently inhibit pressure‐induced SSLBs. Theoretical modeling and experimental investigations reveal that high‐hardness metallic Mo nanocrystals inside effectively suppress dendrite growth without...
Efficient carrier separation is the key to application of photoelectric device. However, photogenerated electron–hole pairs in simplex semiconductors generally occupy same regions spatially and are easy recombine. Here we design a graphitic zinc-oxide-based (g-ZnO) intrinsic type-II heterostructure, g-ZnO/blue phosphorus (BP), based on first-principles calculations. The band offsets large built-in electric field ensure electrons easily migrating from g-ZnO BP, which significantly enhances...
Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising candidates for smart electronic devices. However, it is challenging to mediate their bandgap or chirality from a vapor-liquid-solid growth process. Here, we demonstrate rate-selected semiconducting CNT arrays based on interlocking between the atomic assembly rate and of CNTs. Rate analysis confirms Schulz-Flory distribution which leads various decay rates as length increases in metallic Quantitatively, nearly ten-fold faster CNTs spontaneous...
As an emerging new type of battery chemistry, the anion shuttle (ASB), based on shuttling and storage anions, is considered a sustainable alternative to gigawatt-scale energy due associated resource abundance, low cost, high safety, density. Although significant progress has been achieved, practical applications ASBs are still hindered by tough challenges, such as short lifetime, limited reversible capacity, Coulombic efficiency. Therefore, it very necessary design explore electrolyte...
High-voltage high-nickel low-cobalt lithium layered oxide cathodes show great application prospects for lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost and high capacity. However, deterioration of the bulk structure electrode-electrolyte interface will significantly endanger cycle life thermal stability battery as nickel content voltage increase. We present here a lattice doping strategy greatly improve cell performance by small dose Ti (2 mol %) in LiNi0.6Co0.05Mn0.35O2. Through density...

Abstract The crosstalk of transition metal ions between the oxide cathode and Zn anode restricts practical applications aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs). Herein, we propose a decoupled electrolyte (DCE) consisting nonaqueous‐phase (N‐phase) anolyte an aqueous‐phase (A‐phase) catholyte to prevent Mn 2+ , thus extending lifespan MnO 2 ‐based ZIBs. Experimental measurements theoretical modelling verify that trimethyl phosphate (TMP) not only synergistically works with NH 4 Cl in N‐phase enable...
