An Al-based reducing agent lithium tri-tert-butoxy hydridoaluminate (LTBA) proposed as an electrolyte additive forms in-situ an Al-rich surface layer on Ni-rich layered oxides. This protective layer reduces interfacial reactivity and improve stability, resulting in ≈90% capacity retention after 240 cycles (vs Li4Ti5O12) compared to only 68% without...

This article starts with the advantages and disadvantages of all-solid-state battery electrolyte cathode materials and summarizes the advantages and challenges of single-crystal cathodes in solving all-solid-state battery interface problems. The impact of single-crystal cathode morphology on the design of high-performance all-solid-state batteries...

This is the first time to report the relationship between mixed entropy and ion transport in electrolytes with different mixed entropy. Combining thermodynamic mixed entropy with ion transport kinetics and applying the atomic-level microstructure entropy concept in solid electrolyte design provides new insights into the design and development of solid-state...

In this paper, a water-regulation strategy is proposed via conducting Glu/ZC/PAM hydrogel electrolyte serves as both the water-cluster disruptors and solvation reconstructor to inhibit the water activity. The improved solvation and interface environment endows an expanded voltage stability window, delayed freezing point and alleviated evaporation...

A self-supported nickel nitride (pre)catalyst on a nickel mesh electrode (Ni3N/NM) for industrial alkaline oxygen evolution and selective oxygenation of benzyl alcohol is discovered. Its remarkable performance and durability (>235 h) along with a mere overpotential of 0.28 V at 1 A cm−2 under 6 M KOH at 85 °C is attributed to iron from KOH electrolyte...

The photophysical and electrochemical properties of nitrogen-doped molecular nanographenes are investigated. Lateral π-extension of the molecular nanographene results in thermally-activated dual emission from both S1 and S2, with a quantum yield of 63%. In their coordination complexes with ruthenium porphyrin, the lateral extension allows for a ping-pong...
