The composite solid electrolytes of ionic covalent organic frameworks and poly(ionic liquid) show ionic conductivity up to 1.50 × 10−3 S cm−1 and a high Li+ transference number of > 0.80 at room temperature, also enabling all-solid-state lithium metal batteries where high capacity and Coulombic efficiency are retained after 800 cycles. Abstract...

Sensor technology is very powerful in monitoring the physical and chemical signals of lithium batteries, serving for the state of health and safety evaluation. This review comprehensively summarizes the current research progress of varied sensors and will greatly accelerate the terminal applications of advanced sensors, whether in commercial battery...

Considering the sustainability of energy storage devices, an aqueous all-quinone redox flow battery employing biomass-derived quinones and neutral electrolytes is reported with a cell voltage of 0.9 V. Through solute anion regulation, the constructed AORFB presents a capacity utilization of 70.1% and stable cycling performance at 60 mA cm−2, which...

This review introduces the current achievements of atomically scattered active centers (ASACs) anchored photocatalysts for N2 reduction to ammonia. The synthesis technique, structure/composition, structure-activity correlation, and reaction mechanism of these ASACs anchored photocatalysts are carefully summarized. And the challenges and future outlooks...

This study unveils a groundbreaking perspective on cation-anion pairing in amine-based electrolytes crucial for stable Mg metal anodes. Robust coordination between amine groups and Mg2+ cations triggers dehydrogenation. Introducing ion-pairing into the solvation shell effectively suppresses amine reduction, resulting in a novel electrolyte that enables...

This work provides effective small molecule regulatory strategy by using 2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (PC) to regulate the crystallization kinetics of CsPbI2.75Br0.25 inorganic perovskite, prolong the annealing time in air, passivate uncoordinated Pb2+. Eventually, a record PCE of 22.07% with high V OC 1.342 V is achieved based on n–i–p inorganic perovskite...
