Organic electrode materials with renewability, environmental benignity, and structural tunability have attracted increasing attention for lithium-ion batteries, but their practical application is hindered by low mass loadings (< 2 mg cm−2) and inadequate areal capacities (< 0.5 mAh cm−2), primarily due to low electronic conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion. Here, we address these limitations by introducing a scalable spray-drying method to synthesize hierarchical organic/carbon composites. By using lithium terephthalate (Li2TP), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and polyvinylpyrrolidone as precursors, we fabricate Li2TP-H, a composite featuring Li2TP nanoparticles (∼20 nm) assembled into microspheres with 3D CNTs networks. This hierarchical design ensures efficient ion and electron transport, yielding a high capacity retention of 91.6% (from 298 to 273 mAh g−1) when increasing mass loading from 2 to 43 mg cm−2. The resulting areal capacity of 11.7 mAh cm−2 ranks among the highest reported for organic electrodes. Moreover, the methodology is extendable to other carboxylate-based compounds, with all derivatives exhibiting enhanced performance under a high-mass-loading of 10 mg cm−2. This work provides a new paradigm for developing high-areal-capacity organic electrodes, representing a pivotal step toward commercializing organic battery technologies.
具有可再生性、环境友好性和结构可调性的有机电极材料越来越受到锂离子电池的关注,但其实际应用受到低质量负载(< 2mg cm - 2)和面积容量(< 0.5 mAh cm - 2)的阻碍,主要是由于电子电导率低和离子扩散缓慢。在这里,我们通过引入一种可扩展的喷雾干燥方法来合成分层有机/碳复合材料来解决这些限制。通过使用对苯二甲酸锂(Li2TP)、碳纳米管(CNTs)和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮作为前体,我们制备了Li2TP- h,这是一种将Li2TP纳米颗粒(~ 20 nm)组装成具有3D碳纳米管网络的微球的复合材料。这种分层设计确保了高效的离子和电子传输,当质量负载从2增加到43 mg cm - 2时,产生91.6%的高容量保留(从298到273 mAh g - 1)。所得的面积容量为11.7 mAh cm−2,是有机电极中最高的。此外,该方法可扩展到其他羧酸基化合物,所有衍生物在10 mg cm−2的高质量负载下表现出增强的性能。这项工作为开发高面积容量有机电极提供了一个新的范例,代表了有机电池技术商业化的关键一步。

The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries in a scientific and efficient manner is expected to address resource scarcity and reduce environmental pollution. Currently, conventional direct regeneration methods are difficult to simultaneously repair the particles, crystal structure, and interface of spent Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) in three dimensions. This work adopts a "disintegrate-mend" reshaping approach to construct a localized heterogeneous hinge structure, grain boundary gradient crystal phases, and uniform polycrystalline particles, thereby achieving a unique structure for regenerated LCO materials. This design overcomes the limitations of uneven degradation in spent LCO, enhances the three-dimensional electron shuttle behaviour of the regenerated material, suppresses the redox activity of lattice oxygen, and optimizes spin-orbital coupling effects. Consequently, the regenerated LCO material demonstrates exceptionally high discharge capacity, with an initial discharge specific capacity of 228.94 mAh g−1. Moreover, the soft-packed batteries demonstrate outstanding cycle stability, with capacity retentions of 95.94% after 500 cycles.
科学高效地回收利用废旧锂离子电池有望解决资源短缺问题,减少环境污染。目前,传统的直接再生方法难以同时对废钴酸锂(LCO)的颗粒、晶体结构和界面进行三维修复。本工作采用“崩解-修补”重塑方法,构建局部非均质铰链结构、晶界梯度晶相、均匀多晶颗粒,从而实现再生LCO材料的独特结构。该设计克服了废LCO降解不均匀的局限性,增强了再生材料的三维电子穿梭行为,抑制了晶格氧的氧化还原活性,并优化了自旋轨道耦合效应。因此,再生LCO材料表现出异常高的放电容量,初始放电比容量为228.94 mAh g−1。此外,软包装电池表现出出色的循环稳定性,500次循环后容量保持率为95.94%。

The electrocatalytic nitrogen oxidation reaction (NOR) provides a sustainable strategy for nitrate production. However, the challenges of inert nitrogen and competing oxygen evolution reaction severely limit NOR performance. To overcome these challenges, we propose a cooperative system of a superficially armed Pd@PdO electrocatalyst for NOR in a water-in-salt electrolyte. The thin PdO layer efficiently prevents the deep oxidation of Pd to PdO2, maintaining the high activity of NOR. Moreover, the water-in-salt electrolyte with a strengthened hydration effect weakens water activity and interrupts hydrogen-bond networks, thus retarding competitive oxygen evolution and accelerating the mass transfer of nitrogen. Therefore, the nitrate yield rate and Faradaic efficiency increase 2.3 and 14.4 times, respectively. Electrochemical in situ spectroscopies unveil the reaction mechanism of nitrogen electrooxidation over the Pd@PdO catalyst. This work provides a foundational strategy for the rational design of electrocatalysts and electrolytes aimed at efficient nitrate electrosynthesis.
电催化氮氧化反应(NOR)为硝酸盐生产提供了一种可持续的策略。然而,惰性氮和竞争性析氧反应的挑战严重限制了NOR的性能。为了克服这些挑战,我们提出了一种表面武装Pd@PdO盐包水电解质中NOR电催化剂的合作系统。薄的PdO层有效地防止了Pd深度氧化成PdO2,保持了NOR的高活性。此外,水合作用增强的盐中水电解质削弱了水的活度,破坏了氢键网络,从而延缓了竞争性氧的析出,加速了氮的传质。硝态氮产率和法拉第效率分别提高2.3倍和14.4倍。电化学原位光谱揭示了Pd@PdO催化剂上氮电氧化的反应机理。这项工作为合理设计电催化剂和电解质以实现高效的硝酸盐电合成提供了基础策略。

Wide-band gap perovskites combined with silicon (Si) in tandem solar cells offer a cost-effective path to industrialization. However, surface recombination at the buried interface of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and the edge surface of Si solar cells affects their efficiency and stability. Herein, we design a multi-site passivation agent to simultaneously suppress defect recombination in hole transfer layer (HTL) surface, perovskite buried interface, and Si edge for efficient tandem solar cells. The increased ratio of Ni3+/Ni2+ reduces the nickel oxide (NiOx)/perovskite interface reaction and improves the conductivity of the NiOx HTL. The reconstructed underlayer is more propitious to the perovskite deposition, which releases the residual strain, resulting in the enhancement of the efficiency and stability of PSCs. Moreover, the multi-site passivation agent presents a distinctive passivation effect for edge surface of Si solar cells. Power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 21.95% and 20.01% are obtained at opaque and semitransparent PSCs, respectively. Additionally, a four-terminal tandem solar cell exhibits a PCE of 31.02% with +1.19%abs PCE increase for bottom cell by edge surface passivation. Overall, this work provides a simple and multi-site surface defect passivation strategy for obtaining high-efficiency and stable perovskite and perovskite tandem solar cells.
宽带隙钙钛矿与硅(Si)相结合的串联太阳能电池为产业化提供了一条经济有效的途径。然而,钙钛矿太阳电池(PSCs)的埋藏界面和硅太阳电池的边缘表面的表面复合影响了它们的效率和稳定性。在此,我们设计了一种多位点钝化剂,可以同时抑制高效串联太阳能电池的空穴转移层(HTL)表面、钙钛矿埋藏界面和Si边缘的缺陷重组。Ni3+/Ni2+的增加减少了氧化镍(NiOx)/钙钛矿界面反应,提高了NiOx HTL的导电性。重构后的衬底层更有利于钙钛矿沉积,从而释放残余应变,提高了聚苯乙烯复合材料的效率和稳定性。此外,多位点钝化剂对硅太阳电池的边缘表面表现出明显的钝化效果。在不透明和半透明的PSCs上,功率转换效率分别为21.95%和20.01%。此外,四端串联太阳能电池的PCE为31.02%,底部电池的PCE增加了+1.19%。总的来说,这项工作为获得高效稳定的钙钛矿和钙钛矿串联太阳能电池提供了一种简单的多位点表面缺陷钝化策略。

Driven by the new energy industry’s rapid growth, surging demand for lithium/zinc raw materials has accelerated polymetallic ore mining. Cadmium ions (Cd2+), as co-existing heavy metal pollutants in smelting wastewater, pose environmental challenges while inspiring innovative solutions. This work introduces a green corrosion approach achieving > 99% removal of Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ via Zn foil functionalization. During controlled corrosion, Cd2+ are directly reduced to metallic Cd by Zn, while generated Zn2+ form Zn5(OH)8Cl2⋅H2O (ZCH) nanosheet arrays in situ. A gelatin-assisted low-temperature pyrolysis then converts these products into a carbon/Cd/zinc oxide (ZO-Cd-GC) multilayer on Zn foil, which creates a local gradient in Zn anode properties: enhanced zincophilicity, improved Zn2+ desolvation, and suppressed hydrogen evolution from electrolyte to anode. The resulting Zn@ZO-Cd-GC anode enables uniform electron/ion transport, fast kinetics, suppressed side reactions, and dendrite-free deposition. Symmetric cells with this anode exhibit an ultra-long lifetime exceeding 6000 h at 2 mA cm−2/1 mAh cm−2 and stable operation without short-circuiting at 20 mA cm−2. A Zn@ZO-Cd-GC||NH4V4O10 pouch cell delivers a high discharge capacity and maintains stability over 2000 cycles at 33.75 mA cm−2.
在新能源产业快速增长的带动下,锂/锌原料需求激增,加速了多金属矿开采。镉离子(Cd2+)作为冶炼废水中共存的重金属污染物,在激发创新解决方案的同时,也给环境带来了挑战。这项工作介绍了一种绿色腐蚀方法,通过锌箔功能化实现了99%的Cd2+, Pb2+和Cu2+的去除。在控制腐蚀过程中,Cd2+被Zn直接还原为金属Cd,而Zn2+则在原位形成Zn5(OH)8Cl2⋅H2O (ZCH)纳米片阵列。然后明胶辅助低温热解将这些产物转化为锌箔上的碳/Cd/氧化锌(ZO-Cd-GC)多层,从而在锌阳极性能上产生局部梯度:增强亲锌性,改善Zn2+的脱溶,抑制氢从电解质向阳极的析出。由此产生的Zn@ZO-Cd-GC阳极能够实现均匀的电子/离子传输,快速动力学,抑制副反应和无枝晶沉积。具有这种阳极的对称电池在2 mA cm - 2/1 mAh cm - 2下具有超过6000小时的超长寿命,并且在20 mA cm - 2下稳定运行而不短路。Zn@ZO-Cd-GC||NH4V4O10袋电池提供高放电容量,并在33.75 mA cm−2下保持超过2000次循环的稳定性。

The integration of non-noble metals such as Co, Fe, Ni, Zn, Mn, Mo, or Bi into nitrogen-doped carbon (M–N–C) matrices with defined structures and active metal center sites has emerged as a promising approach for fabricating electrocatalysts for the ORR. This review uncovers the latest advancements in the development of noble metal-free single-atom electrocatalysts (M–N–C SAECs) and electrochemical reactors aimed at enhancing and stabilizing H2O2 production from the 2e ORR. Firstly, the review explores the basics of the ORR for H2O2 production and the impact of electrochemical conditions. Subsequently, the synthesis strategies and characterization methods of various M–N–C SAECs are examined in depth. In addition, the structural attributes of both conventional and altered M–N–C SAECs are meticulously investigated, and the importance of engineering and optimizing reactors to elevate H2O2 yields is highlighted. This review identifies the challenges and technological hurdles in bridging the gap between laboratory-scale research and practical, real-world applications.

Amidst escalating energy demands and intensifying environmental pressures, advanced phase change materials (PCMs) have emerged as highly efficient and sustainable storage solutions, owing to their unique operational principles. However, pristine PCMs encounter a multitude of challenges, including susceptibility to leakage, inferior thermal/electrical conductivity, inadequate light responsiveness, intrinsic rigidity, and limited functionality, which impede their effectiveness in addressing the complex demands of real-world applications. Longitudinal confinement of PCMs using advanced multifunctional 1D materials is accepted as a cutting-edge solution to these limitations. A corresponding comprehensive review of longitudinally confined composite PCMs is thus imperative for subsequent studies and yet is missing from the literature, unlike reviews of 0D, 2D, and 3D materials for PCMs. Herein, this review systematically highlights the diverse roles of longitudinal materials in PCMs and analyzes the relationships between their architectures and thermophysical properties, with particular emphasis on design principles and advanced multifunctional interdisciplinary applications. Additionally, we provide an in-depth understanding of thermal transfer, energy conversion mechanisms, and rationalized routes to high-efficiency energy conversion PCMs. Finally, we introduce critical considerations for current challenges and future solutions to them, hoping to offer constructive guidance and facilitate significant breakthroughs for longitudinally confined composite PCMs in both fundamental interdisciplinary research and commercial applications.
在不断升级的能源需求和不断加剧的环境压力下,先进相变材料(PCMs)由于其独特的工作原理而成为高效和可持续的存储解决方案。然而,原始pcm面临着许多挑战,包括易泄漏、导热/导电性差、光响应性不足、固有刚性和有限的功能,这些都阻碍了它们在解决实际应用的复杂需求方面的有效性。使用先进的多功能一维材料纵向约束pcm被认为是解决这些限制的前沿解决方案。因此,纵向受限复合pcm的相应综合综述对于后续研究是必要的,但与对pcm的0D, 2D和3D材料的综述不同,文献中缺少这一综述。在此,本文系统地强调了纵向材料在pcm中的不同作用,并分析了其结构与热物理性质之间的关系,特别强调了设计原则和先进的多功能跨学科应用。此外,我们还提供了对热传导,能量转换机制的深入了解,以及高效能量转换pcm的合理化路线。最后,我们介绍了当前挑战的关键考虑因素和未来的解决方案,希望为纵向受限复合材料相变材料在基础跨学科研究和商业应用方面提供建设性的指导和促进重大突破。

Stabilizing black-phase formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI3) is critical for high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). We present a stabilization strategy utilizing co-evaporated cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) capping layers. Enabled by favorable crystal lattice matching, cubic-phase CsPbI3 spontaneously forms on FAPbI3 surfaces, establishing mutual phase stabilization with the underlying black-phase FAPbI3. When combined with ammonium salt interface modification, the CsPbI3 interlayer effectively suppresses the ion (FA+ and F-PEA+) diffusion between the stacked perovskite layers. The FAPbI3/CsPbI3 bilayer structured devices exhibited a certified record reverse-scanning power-conversion efficiency of 27.17% and maintained a stabilized power output efficiency of 26.62%. Remarkably, the cells retain 93.5% of the initial efficiency after 1500 h damp-heat test, and retaining over 94.2% of its maximum PCE after about 1185 h with a linear extrapolation to a T90 of 2352 h operation under continuous illumination at maximum power point tracking at 85 °C.
稳定黑相三碘化甲脒铅(FAPbI3)是高性能钙钛矿太阳能电池(PSCs)的关键。我们提出了一种利用共蒸发铯碘化铅(CsPbI3)封盖层的稳定策略。由于有利的晶格匹配,立方相CsPbI3在FAPbI3表面自发形成,与底层的黑相FAPbI3建立了相互相稳定。当与铵盐界面改性结合时,CsPbI3夹层能有效抑制钙钛矿层间离子(FA+和F-PEA+)的扩散。FAPbI3/CsPbI3双层结构器件的反向扫描功率转换效率为27.17%,稳定功率输出效率为26.62%。值得注意的是,电池在1500 h湿热测试后保持了93.5%的初始效率,在大约1185 h后保持了超过94.2%的最大PCE,线性外推到在85°C的最大功率点跟踪下连续照明下运行2352 h的T90。

The synthesis of Pt intermetallic compounds (IMCs) typically necessitates high-temperature annealing to overcome the atom-diffusion kinetic barrier, which inevitably results in considerable nanoparticle sintering, especially for the high-loaded catalyst, thus leading to diminished performance in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. We propose a concentration-gradient-driven atom diffusion strategy to synthesize Pt intermetallic compounds (IMCs), overcoming the atom-diffusion kinetic barrier under relatively low temperature. This method efficiently transforms high-loaded Pt seeds/C into sub-5 nm L10-PtCo-IMC/C (44.3 wt%) catalyst. Advanced characterizations and molecular dynamic simulations reveal that locally concentrated Co precursors accelerate atom diffusion and enhance nanoparticle anti-sintering ability. Temperature-dependent analyses further elucidate the structural transformation mechanism by tracking crystal structure and nanoparticle size evolution. Membrane electrode assembly (MEA) integrated with the optimized PtCo-IMC/C at a low Pt usage (0.1 mg cm−2) delivers a maximum power density of approximately 1.15 W cm−2 and excellent stability (a 26-mV loss at 0.8 A cm−2) after 30000 cycles of accelerated stress testing under H2-air conditions. This scalable synthesis pathway (20 g per batch) holds great promise for advancing high-loaded fuel cell electrocatalysts.
Pt金属间化合物(IMCs)的合成通常需要高温退火来克服原子扩散动力学屏障,这不可避免地导致大量纳米颗粒烧结,特别是对于高负载催化剂,从而导致质子交换膜燃料电池的性能下降。我们提出了一种浓度梯度驱动的原子扩散策略来合成铂金属间化合物(IMCs),克服了相对低温下原子扩散的动力学势垒。该方法有效地将高负载Pt种子/C转化为低于5 nm (44.3% wt%)的L10-PtCo-IMC/C催化剂。先进的表征和分子动力学模拟表明,局部浓缩的Co前驱体加速了原子扩散,增强了纳米颗粒的抗烧结能力。温度依赖分析通过跟踪晶体结构和纳米颗粒尺寸演变进一步阐明了结构转变机制。膜电极组件(MEA)与优化的PtCo-IMC/C集成在低铂用量(0.1 mg cm - 2)下,在h2 -空气条件下进行30000次加速应力测试后,其最大功率密度约为1.15 W cm - 2,稳定性极佳(0.8 a cm - 2时损耗26 mv)。这种可扩展的合成途径(每批20克)对推进高负荷燃料电池电催化剂具有很大的希望。
