All‐solid‐state batteries (ASSBs) using sulfide electrolytes hold promise for next‐generation battery technology. Although using a pure Li metal anode is believed to maximize battery energy density, numerous recent studies have implicated that Li‐ion anodes (e.g., graphite and Si) are more realistic candidates due to their interfacial compatibility with sulfide electrolytes. However, those Li‐ion ASSBs suffer from an issue similar to liquid Li‐ion batteries, which is a loss of active Li inventory owing to interfacial side reactions between electrode components, resulting in reduced available capacities and shortened cycle life. Herein, for the first time, we explore the potential of Li3P for cathode prelithiation of Li‐ion ASSBs. We identify that the crystallized Li3P (c‐Li3P) has room‐temperature ionic and electronic conductivities of both over 10−4 S/cm. Such a mixed ion‐electron conducting feature ensures that the neat c‐Li3P affords a high Li+‐releasing capacity of 983 mAh/g in ASSBs during the first charging. Moreover, the electrochemical delithiation of c‐Li3P takes place below 2 V versus Li+/Li, while its lithiation dominates below 1 V versus Li+/Li. Once used as a cathode prelithiation regent for ASSBs, c‐Li3P only functions as a Li+ donor without lithiation activity and can adequately compensate for the Li loss with minimal dosage added. Besides mitigating first‐cycle Li loss, c‐Li3P prelithiation can also improve the battery cyclability by sustained release of low‐dosage Li+ ions in subsequent cycles, which have been embodied in several full ASSBs by coupling a LiCoO2 cathode with various types of anodes (including graphite, in foil, Sb, and Si anode). Our work provides a universal cathode prelithiation strategy for high‐efficiency Li‐ion ASSBs.

The landmark Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario requires the revolution of today's energy system for realizing nonenergy‐related global economy. Advanced batteries with high energy density and safety are expected to realize the shift of end‐use sectors toward renewable and clean sources of electricity. Present Li‐ion technologies have dominated the modern energy market but face with looming challenges of limited theoretical specific capacity and high cost. Li–air(O2) battery, characterized by energy‐rich redox chemistry of Li stripping/plating and oxygen conversion, emerges as a promising “beyond Li‐ion” strategy. In view of the superior stability and inherent safety, a solid‐state Li–air battery is regarded as a more practical choice compared to the liquid‐state counterpart. However, there remain many challenges that retard the development of solid‐state Li–air batteries. In this review, we provide an in‐depth understanding of fundamental science from both thermodynamics and kinetics of solid‐state Li–air batteries and give a comprehensive assessment of the main challenges. The discussion of effective strategies along with authoritative demonstrations for achieving high‐performance solid‐state Li–air batteries is presented, including the improvement of cathode kinetics and durability, solid electrolyte design, Li anode optimization and protection, as well as interfacial engineering.

Conventional robotic systems are built with rigid materials to deal with large forces and predetermined processes. Soft robotics, however, is an emerging field seeking to develop adaptable robots that can perform tasks in unpredictable environments and biocompatible devices that close the gap between humans and machines. Dielectric elastomers (DEs) have emerged as a soft actuation technology that imitates the properties and performance of natural muscles, making them an attractive material choice for soft robotics. However, conventional DE materials suffer from electromechanical instability (EMI), which reduces their performance and limits their applications in soft robotics. This review discusses key innovations in DE artificial muscles from a material standpoint, followed by a survey on their representative demonstrations of soft robotics. Specifically, we introduce modifications of DE materials that enable large strains, fast responses, and high energy densities by suppressing EMI. Additionally, we examine materials that allow variable stiffness and self‐healing abilities in DE actuators. Finally, we review dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) applications in soft robotics in four categories, including automation, manipulation, locomotion, and human interaction.

The interfacial structures of bimetallic‐derived catalysts play an important role in promoting the activation of reactants such as CO2. In particular, both the physical property (e.g., local bonding environment) and the electronic property (e.g., oxidation state) can evolve from their native states under different environments, such as upon reduction and during the catalytic reaction. Hence, taking the CO2 hydrogenation reaction over Rh‐based catalysts as a case study, the present work compares the interfacial structures in tuning the selectivity toward CH4 or CO. The combination of ex situ and in situ characterization reveals two representative interfacial structures: the Rh/CeOx interface formed over Rh/CeO2 is active and selective to produce CH4 (~95%) by following a formate‐mediated pathway; in comparison, the InOx/Rh interface derived after reduction is active for CO2 activation and enables a redox mechanism for the exclusive formation of CO (~100%). This work provides insights into the environment‐induced structural evolution at the metal−oxide interfaces, as well as the role of distinct interfacial active sites in tuning the selectivity of CO2 hydrogenation.

The accumulation of plastic wastes in landfills and the environment threatens our environment and public health, while leading to the loss of potential carbon resources. The urgent necessary lies in developing an energy‐saving and environmentally benign approach to upgrade plastic into value‐added chemicals. Artificial photosynthesis holds the ability to realize plastic upcycling by using endless solar energy under mild conditions, but remains in the initial stage for plastic upgrading. In this review, we aim to look critically at the photocatalytic conversion of plastic wastes from the perspective of resource reutilization. To begin with, we present the emerging conversion routes for plastic wastes and highlight the advantages of artificial photosynthesis for processing plastic wastes. By parsing photocatalytic plastic conversion process, we demonstrate the currently available routes for processing plastic, including plastic photodegradation, tandem decomposition of plastic and CO2 reduction, selective plastic oxidation, as well as photoreforming of plastic. This review concludes with a personal perspective for potential advances and emerging challenges in photocatalytic plastic conversion.

Graphene and boron nitride (BN) foams, as two types of three‐dimensional (3D) nanomaterials consisting of two‐dimensional (2D) nanosheets, can inherit a series of excellent properties of the 2D individuals. The internal 3D network can prevent aggregation or restacking between isolated graphene or BN nanosheets, and provide a highway for phonon/electron transports. Moreover, the interconnected porous structure creates a continual channel for the mass exchange of exotic species. The light‐element graphene and BN foams can thus possess the characteristics of low density, high porosity, high surface area, and excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Benefiting from these advantages, they show a wide range of applications. The usual synthesis methods and the recent functional applications of graphene and BN foams are reviewed herein, including their applications as supporting materials, elastic materials, acoustic shielding materials, thermal interface materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, adsorption materials, electrocatalysis and thermal catalyses materials, electrochemical energy storage, and thermal energy storage materials. Current challenges and outlooks are additionally discussed.

Aqueous redox flow batteries, by using redox‐active molecules dissolved in nonflammable water solutions as electrolytes, are a promising technology for grid‐scale energy storage. Organic redox‐active materials offer a new opportunity for the construction of advanced flow batteries due to their advantages of potentially low cost, extensive structural diversity, tunable electrochemical properties, and high natural abundance. In this review, we present the emergence and development of organic redox‐active materials for aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs), in particular, molecular engineering concepts and strategies of organic redox‐active molecules. The typical design strategies based on organic redox species for high‐capacity, high‐stability, and high‐voltage AORFBs are outlined and discussed. Molecular engineering of organic redox‐active molecules for high aqueous solubility, high chemical/electrochemical stability, and multiple electron numbers as well as satisfactory redox potential gap between the redox pair is essential to realizing high‐performance AORFBs. Beyond molecular engineering, the redox‐targeting strategy is an effective way to obtain high‐capacity AORFBs. We further discuss and analyze the redox reaction mechanisms of organic redox species based on a series of electrochemical and spectroscopic approaches, and succinctly summarize the capacity degradation mechanisms of AORFBs. Furthermore, the current challenges, opportunities, and future directions of organic redox‐active materials for AORFBs are presented in detail.
