Addressing bulk charge recombination is the main challenge for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting. This work generates lattice strain in BiVO4 by introducing bismuth defects, which significantly promotes charge separation in the bulk, achieving a photocurrent density of 6.20 mA cm⁻2 at 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode under...

A new approach for utilizing a Zn anode and an air cathode in a rechargeable alkaline zinc–air battery (ZAB) using a reversible two-electron bifunctional catalyst is presented. The proposed approach results in a ZAB with high battery metrics in terms of reversibility, high round-trip efficiency, longevity, and energy cost. Abstract Rechargeable...

Glycine/Valine multifunctional additives modify Zn2+ solvation shell in strong alkaline environment, enhancing Zn plating/stripping reversibility and forming stable SEI layer to prevent HER and dendrite growth. Abstract To address the issues of dendrite growth and zinc corrosion in rechargeable zinc-air batteries, multifunctional glycine/valine...

Quantifying charge extraction losses in organic solar cells is crucial for understanding the origin of power losses and, consequently, for improving the performance. An analytical framework is presented that utilizes a readily available observable photoshunt and its correlation with light intensities for evaluating charge transport properties of a...

1D single-crystal nanobelts, assembled from monolayer sodium titanate nanobelts featuring intensively exposed crystal planes, exhibit excellent electrochemical activity, robust electrochemo-mechanical stability, and favorable charge storage kinetics. As a result, these unique structural properties contribute to a low-strain characteristic during repeated...
