Zn–air batteries (ZABs) are one of the promising candidates future energy storage technology owing to their advantages high theoretical density, safety, and low cost. However, voltage polarization efficiency hinder practical applications. Herein, we show that charging a ZAB can be reduced ∼1.6 V with ∼70% by adding redox radical, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl (TEMPO), biomass, glucose, into electrolyte. Upon charging, oxidation TEMPO forming oxoammonium cation at cathode catalyzes...

ZnS coated on N,S co-doped carbon (ZnS/NSC) composite has been prepared utilizing zinc pyrithione (C10H8N2O2S2Zn) as raw material via calcination. Through activation using Na2CO3 salt, nanoparticles encapsulated in NSC (denoted A-ZnS/NSC) with mixed-crystal structure also obtained, which reveals much larger specific surface area and more bridges between NSC. Based the existence of (C-S-Zn S-O-Zn bonds) modification from co-doping, A-ZnS/NSC an anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) displays...

Abstract Aqueous Zn metal batteries (ZMBs) are largely hampered by the poor stability of zinc (Zn) anode in aqueous electrolyte due to uncontrollable deposition behavior and parasitic reactions. Hence, a stable Glu@Zn via acid etching is developed that simultaneously exposes (002) plane modifies exposed grain boundaries. The surface‐preferred achieved minimizing its surface energy. And boundaries also modified decomposition products etching, which can greatly reduce adverse effects caused...
