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...

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...
