High-voltage lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) enabled by high-voltage electrolytes can effectively boost energy density and power density, which are critical requirements to achieve long travel distances, fast-charging, reliable safety performance for electric vehicles. However, operating these beyond the typical conditions of LIBs (4.3 V vs Li/Li+ ) leads severe electrolyte decomposition, while interfacial side reactions remain elusive. These issues have become a bottleneck developing...

Abstract High‐voltage lithium metal batteries are the most promising energy storage technology due to their excellent density (>400 Wh kg −1 ). However, oxidation decomposition of conventional carbonate‐based electrolytes at high‐potential cathode, detrimental reaction between anode and electrolyte, particularly uncontrolled dendrite growth, always lead a severe capacity decay and/or flammable safety issues, hindering practical applications. Herein, solvation structure engineering...

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have attracted great attention in the past two decades, because of their high theoretical energy density 2600 Wh kg–1 and cost-effective sulfur cathode. However, it is still far from commercialization, unlike that lithium-ion batteries. Although numerous research has been presented on cathode, lithium metal anode, separator modification, intercalated layer within cell configuration, electrolyte design, problematic issues polysulfide shuttling effect cannot be...

Abstract Benzoxazole‐linked covalent organic frameworks (BO−COFs), despite their exceptional chemical stability, are still in infancy. This is primarily because the current prevalent methods require use of special ortho ‐hydroxyl‐substituted aromatic amines as monomers. Herein, we report an innovative strategy to access BO−COFs directly from imine‐linked COFs (Im−COFs) without pre‐embedded OH groups, using a two‐step sequential oxidation/cyclization process. The process included oxidation...
