Graphene-Like-Armored Nanosheet Assemblies toward Fast and Stable High-Mass-Loading Sodium Storage

Abstract Sodium-ion batteries represent promising energy storage devices, yet their deployment is severely hampered by sluggish ion-transport kinetics and unstable electrode–electrolyte interfacial chemistry that deteriorate rate capability and cycling lifespan, particularly unde...

Activating Aqueous Multivalent Metal–Sulfur Electrochemistry via Kinetic Promoter

Abstract Sulfur-based aqueous batteries for sustainable energy storage have the advantages of material abundance, low cost, and high theoretical capacity. While aqueous multivalent metal–sulfur electrochemistry is effective in suppressing sulfide dissolution due to its low solubi...

Tuning H2O-Engaged Redox Reaction Pathway via Water Orientation in Aqueous Batteries

Abstract Aqueous battery research has long focused on ionic behavior during reactions but has largely neglected the essential role of reactive water, hindering the mechanistic understanding and limiting breakthroughs in battery performance. Herein, we establish an H2O-engaged per...

Dynamic Photoexcited Oxygen Vacancies beyond Static Defects Achieve 1.66 V Zn‐Air Battery

ABSTRACT Oxygen vacancies are widely introduced into electrocatalysts to boost the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in Zn‐air batteries, yet their dynamic behavior under operando illumination remains largely unexplored. Herein, we demonstrate that initial synthetic oxygen vacancie...

Rechargeable Seawater Batteries: From Electrochemistry to Energy Storage

ABSTRACT Rechargeable seawater batteries are emerging as sustainable electrochemical energy‐storage systems that directly exploit natural seawater as an abundant electrolyte and ion reservoir. Beyond conventional seawater‐activated primary batteries and half‐seawater rechargeable...

Interface-shrunk regulated synthesis of asymmetric ultrafine mono-mesopore Nepenthes with tailored window

Asymmetric ultrafine mono-mesopore architectures with ultrasmall size, an open window, and unique physicochemical properties offer great opportunities in energy storage, yet their synthesis remains challenging. Inspired by the fast, unidirectional capture ability of Nepenthes, we...
