An efficient additive (6BAS) with multisite anchoring (C═O) as can promote the preferential crystallization of perovskite for realizing high-quality perovskite films with larger grain size and reduced defect state, which is beneficial to hot carriers extraction from perovskite layer into carrier transport layers and the decreased charge recombination...

The latent solvent with specific anion-philic and cation-phobic properties is introduced into aqueous zinc-ion electrolytes, which can remarkably increase Zn(TFSI)2 solubility in water and induce anion-containing solvation structures. These unique solvation structures enable anions to preferentially decompose to spawn an anion-derived SEI layer and...

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...
