Abstract
Highlights
A novel cationic hydrogel electrolyte is prepared to address a significant challenge of balancing the tripartite trade-offs of hydrogel properties.
Cationic express pathways enable fast and selective Zn2+ transport through dynamic ionic repulsion, achieving high ionic conductivity (28.7 mS cm−1) and Zn2+ transference number (0.79).
The hydrogel demonstrates exceptional cycling stability across − 15 to 60 °C, showcasing great potential for practical flexible battery applications.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Micro Letters is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary, and open-access journal published under the SpringerOpen brand.
Nano-Micro Letters focuses on the science, experiments, engineering, technologies, and applications of nano- or microscale structures and systems in various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, material science, and pharmacy.It also explores the expanding interfaces between these fields.
Nano-Micro Letters particularly emphasizes the bottom-up approach in the length scale from nano to micro. This approach is crucial for achieving industrial applications in nanotechnology, as it involves the assembly, modification, and control of nanostructures on a microscale.
