Abstract Zinc‐based batteries have a high capacity and are safe, cost‐effective, environmentally‐friendly, capable of scalable production. However, dendrite formation poor reversibility hinder their performance. Metal‐organic framework (MOF)‐based Zn anodes made by wet chemistry to address these issues. These MOF‐based exhibit efficiency during plating‐stripping prevent formation, as shown ex situ SEM analysis. The practicality the is demonstrated in aqueous ion batteries, which show...
Turning many into one Single-crystal metal foils are valuable for their surface properties that allow synthesis of materials like graphene. Jin et al. present a strategy creating colossal single-crystal called “contact-free annealing” (see the Perspective by Rollett). The method relies on hanging and heating commercially available, inexpensive, cold-rolled foils. Almost as if magic, polycrystalline grains rotate anneal large sheet with specific crystal orientation. allows creation much...
We report a versatile method to make liquid metal composites by vigorously mixing gallium (Ga) with non-metallic particles of graphene oxide (G-O), graphite, diamond, and silicon carbide that display either paste or putty-like behavior depending on the volume fraction. Unlike Ga, mixtures can be kneaded rolled any surface without leaving residue. By changing temperature, these materials stiffened, softened, and, for G-O-containing composite, even made porous. The putty (GalP) containing...
Abstract Room‐temperature synthesis of 2D graphitic materials (2D‐GMs) remains an elusive aim, especially with electrochemical means. Here, it is shown that liquid metals render this possible as they offer catalytic activity and ultrasmooth templating interface promotes Frank–van der Merwe regime growth, while allowing facile exfoliation due to the absence interfacial forces a nonpolar liquid. The 2D‐GMs are formed at low onset potential can be in situ doped depending on choice organic...

The clogging of zeolites with carbon-containing precursors is an industrial challenge in some applications but when the deposition carbon deliberate and ‘works well’, a source material intriguing properties others. Zeolite-templated carbons (ZTCs) are often compared to activated due their shared characteristics, such as high surface area, chemical composition, thermal stability under various conditions. However, key distinction lies controllable pore size, which makes ZTCs exceptionally...
