Proton-Exchange Surface Engineering Enables Air-Stable Sodium Layered Oxide Cathodes for Carbon-Neutral Energy Storage

O3-type layered oxides have emerged as one of the most promising cathode candidates for sodium-ion batteries, which are widely regarded as a key enabling technology for carbon-neutral grid-scale energy storage. However, their practical application is hindered by surface degradati...

Deuterated Aprotic Electrolytes Enable Rechargeable Lithium Batteries With High (Electro)Chemical and Thermal Stability

ABSTRACT Electrolytes with exceptional (electro)chemical and thermal stability are essential prerequisites for high‐energy‐density rechargeable lithium batteries. Conventional aprotic ether and ester solvents contain polarizable C─H bonds that trigger parasitic proton transfer re...
