Abstract All‐solid‐state Li‐metal batteries (ASLMBs) represent a significant breakthrough in the quest to overcome limitations associated with traditional Li‐ion batteries, particularly energy density and safety aspects. However, widespread implementation is stymied due lack of profound understanding complex mechano‐electro‐chemical behavior Li metal ASLMBs. Herein, operando neutron imaging X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) are leveraged nondestructively visualize behaviors within This...
Aqueous zinc metal batteries show great promise in large-scale energy storage. However, the decomposition of water molecules leads to severe side reactions, resulting limited lifespan Zn batteries. Here, tetrahydrofuran (THF) additive was introduced into sulfate (ZnSO4) electrolyte reduce activity by modulating solvation structure hydration layer. The THF molecule can play as a proton acceptor form hydrogen bonds with molecules, which prevent water-induced undesired reactions. Thus, an...
Van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectrics have attracted significant attention for their potential in next-generation nano-electronics. Two-dimensional (2D) group-IV monochalcogenides emerged as a promising candidate due to strong room temperature in-plane polarization down monolayer limit. However, is strongly coupled with the lattice strain and stacking orders, which impact electronic properties. Here, we utilize four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) simultaneously...
