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...

Revealing Non-Steady-State Structure–Performance Relationship in Plateau-Capacity-Dominated Hard Carbon Anodes for High-Rate Reversible Sodium Storage

Abstract The sodium storage structure–performance relationship of hard carbon anodes has long been regarded as an intrinsic material property and forms the basis for electrode design. This common view, however, does not hold with varying operating temperatures. At room temperatur...

The Past, Present, and Future of Biomass‐Derived Hard Carbon for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Given the cost-effectiveness, renewability, and environmental friendliness features, biomass-derived hard carbon has attracted significant attention in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the macroproperties of the resultant hard carbon highly depend on the resources and compon...
