The performance of the Li-ion pouch cells can be greatly enhanced by using boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) coated on the polyethylene (PE) separators. BNNT coated on the PE separators (BNNT-PE) apparently boost the ionic conductivity (IC) as high as ∼40.7 % at various temperature ranges (−10 °C–60 °C) as compared to Neat-PE due to faster Li-ion transport and wettability offered by BNNT coating on PE. As a result, Li-ion transport can be enhanced at the interface as well as on the entire surface of the separator. For the NCM523//graphite pouch cells designed with the reversible capacity of 464.0 mAh, at 10.0 C, Neat-PE shows capacity of only 27.1 mAh, while BNNT-PE shows 4.3 times higher capacity of 143.2 mAh at room temperature. As a result, the BNNT-PE pouch cells present superior C-rate performance and cycle retention at both room and the low temperature (−10 °C). In addition, the excellent thermal conductivity of BNNT and higher IC of the BNNT-PE can effectively reduce the surface temperature of a single pouch cell about 3–4% during cycling. Upon these properties, BNNT may provide explicit solutions, in a material aspect, for fast charging-discharging, and enhanced safety with fast heat dissipation for advanced LIBs.

Hydrogen energy holds immense potential for revolutionizing modern energy technologies. Seawater electrolysis is a promising strategy for hydrogen production; however, the lack of effective electrodes limits its widespread application. Therefore, developing high-performance, cost-effective catalysts for water splitting is essential for sustainable energy conversion. In this context, we report a novel hybrid bimetallic selenide (CoMoSe2) and MXene (Ti3C2Tx) electrocatalyst, which exhibits remarkable catalytic performance for seawater electrolysis. The CoMoSe2@Ti3C2Tx electrocatalyst demonstrates outstanding catalytic capabilities, achieving overpotentials of 82 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and 329 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at a current density of 10 mA cm⁻2 in alkaline conditions. The Tafel slope values are 124 mV dec⁻1 for hydrogen evolution and 69 mV dec⁻1 for oxygen evolution, outperforming their individual components. The enhanced bifunctional catalytic performance of the hybrid catalyst is attributed to the synergistic effect of Mo atoms within the CoSe2 crystal structure, which modifies the electronic structure and lowers the chemisorption energies of hydrogen and oxygen intermediates. The abundance of oxygen vacancies provides more reactive active sites and improves electrical conductivity. Additionally, the CoMoSe2@Ti3C2Tx composite has demonstrated remarkable bifunctional electrocatalytic performance for seawater splitting, achieving 10 mA cm⁻2 at overpotentials of 161 mV for HER and 354 mV for OER in alkaline seawater. The Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism drives the remarkable long-term stability of the catalyst. This novel approach contributes to sustainable energy solutions by providing a fresh avenue for the development of effective catalysts to produce hydrogen from seawater.
氢能具有革新现代能源技术的巨大潜力。海水电解是一种很有前途的制氢方法;然而,缺乏有效的电极限制了它的广泛应用。因此,开发高性能、低成本的水分解催化剂是实现可持续能源转换的关键。在此背景下,我们报道了一种新型的双金属硒化物(CoMoSe2)和MXene (Ti3C2Tx)杂化电催化剂,该催化剂在海水电解中表现出优异的催化性能。CoMoSe2@Ti3C2Tx电催化剂表现出出色的催化能力,在碱性条件下,电流密度为10 mA cm⁻2时,析氢反应(HER)的过电位为82 mV,析氧反应(OER)的过电位为329 mV。Tafel斜率值为124 mV dec - 1(氢的发展)和69 mV dec - 1(氧的发展),超过了它们各自的组成部分。杂化催化剂双功能催化性能的增强是由于CoSe2晶体结构内Mo原子的协同作用,改变了电子结构,降低了氢和氧中间体的化学吸附能。丰富的氧空位提供了更多的活性位点,提高了电导率。此外,CoMoSe2@Ti3C2Tx复合材料在海水分裂中表现出了显著的双功能电催化性能,在碱性海水中,HER的过电位为161 mV, OER的过电位为354 mV,达到10 mA cm⁻2。Volmer-Heyrovsky机制驱动了催化剂显著的长期稳定性。这种新方法为开发从海水中产生氢的有效催化剂提供了一条新的途径,有助于实现可持续能源解决方案。

The limited electron and ionic conductivity, along with the sluggish kinetics caused by the Jahn-Teller effect of Mn3+, impose constraints on the electrochemical performance of LiFexMn1-xPO4. Herein, the surface of LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 (LFMP) is modified with a F-doped carbon using the solvothermal and calcination methods. The incorporation of F-doped carbon coating, along with the formation of interfacial F-Li, F-Fe and F-Mn bonds between the carbon layer and LFMP nanoparticles, significantly mitigates charge transfer resistance, facilitates rapid electron transfer, as well as enhances Li+ diffusion kinetics. The LFMP@C-F2 cathode prepared in this study exhibits an unexceptionable capacity retention of 90.5 % after 300 cycles at a low rate of 0.2C and a capacity retention of 78.8 % over 1000 cycles at a high rate of 1C. When incorporated into the solid battery configuration (Li/PEO-LATP CSE/LFMP@C-F2), it exhibits an initial discharge specific capacity of 148 mAh g−1 and maintains a capacity retention of 85.8 % after 60 cycles at 0.1C, thereby offering an innovative approach to enhance the performance of LFMP in terms of cycling stability and rate capacity in lithium-ion batteries, as well as to apply LFMP into solid-state lithium batteries.

Water is widely available in nature that attracts increasing interesting in simulating transpiration effect to induce the electricity. However, it faces great challenges in establishing continues moisture gradient rather than periodic wetting behaviors. Here, we propose a self-floating Janus generator containing the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions to induce the continues electricity. The self-floating and hydrophilic behavior ensures a continuous water supply. The asymmetric Janus structure forms a distinct wet/dry interface to create a significant water gradient with evaporation equilibrium state. At wetting region, the electric double layer (EDL) is formed due to the interaction of water and carbon black particles. Attributed to the large water gradient and fast contact line evaporation, proton accumulates across the capillary front that induces a potential difference. As a result, the Janus generator achieves 0.46 V open circuit voltage lasting for 40 h. It also demonstrates the potential applications of Janus generator in power supply, moisture detection and sweat monitoring et al. The proposed Janus generators show great potential in ocean energy development and be of great significance to the sensing of rescue signals in the sea.

CO2 bubbles flow in the anode flow channel is an important issue in the commercialization process of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). A T-channel model is built in COMSOL using the phase field method to investigate the CO2 bubbles flow at the anode side of the DMFC. The factors and mechanisms of single bubble detachment are discussed by analyzing the methanol inlet velocity (Ul), CO2 inlet velocity (Ug), contact angle of the diffusion layer, and the Weber number during bubble detachment. The research findings indicate that increasing the liquid flow rate leads to the generation of smaller bubbles that detach more rapidly due to the increases of drag force (FD) and the shear-life force (FSL) to overcome the surface tension on the bubble. The CO2 inlet velocity can promote the bubble detachment due to the increase in FSL, but also leads to a larger detachment diameter. Compared to hydrophobic surfaces, hydrophilic surfaces are more conducive to bubble detachment and removal. In all case We (Weber number) is significantly less than 0.6, indicating that liquid momentum dominated the bubble detachment process. Once the ratio of the gas momentum to the liquid one is greater than 1, the bubble is hard to detach. The contour map of bubble flow patterns and the bubble detachment diameters distribute with the ratio of Ug/Ul can further indicate that the bubble detachment is connected with the ratio of Ug/Ul closely, which will have guiding significance for the selection of inlet velocity of DMFC.

The buried electron-transport layer (ETL)/perovskite interface not only influences the interface charge transport but also directly affects the perovskite crystallization, and thereby is crucial for the efficiency promotion of inorganic CsPbX3 perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, 6-aminonicotinic acid (ANA) molecule is employed to modify the buried TiO2 ETL/CsPbIBr2 perovskite interface through forming a molecule dipolar layer. The formation of ANA molecule dipolar layer passivates the defects at the buried TiO2 ETL/CsPbIBr2 perovskite interface, ameliorates the interface contact, and optimizes the interface energy level alignment, which considerably enhances the electron extraction and transport at the buried interface. Meanwhile, the buried interface modified by ANA molecule dipolar layer facilitates fabricating the high-quality CsPbIBr2 perovskite film. Benefiting from the above favorable features, the assembled carbon-based CsPbIBr2 PSC achieves a power conversion efficiency of 10.98 %, which is among the highest efficiency of carbon-based CsPbIBr2 devices reported previously. In addition, the construction of ANA molecule dipolar layer at the buried interface notably enhances the stability of CsPbIBr2 perovskite and fabricated PSCs. Under ambient conditions, the unencapsulated CsPbIBr2 device with ANA molecule dipolar layer maintains 90.1 % of its original efficiency after 45-day storage.

Traditional recycling technologies for spent lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) usually suffer from issues such as complex procedures, heavy chemical consumption, and limited economic viability. Herein, we propose a method combining FeCl3 leaching and spray pyrolysis for the high-value-added recycling of spent LFP. Using FeCl3 as leaching agent, over 99 % of Li is selectively leached out within 30 min with a solid-liquid ratio up to 300 g L−1. The resulting leaching residue (FePO4) serves as a precursor for the synthesis of new LFP. Subsequently, the Li and Fe-containing leachate undergoes a spray pyrolysis process, yielding a pyrolysis powder comprising LiCl and Fe2O3. Through a water-leaching procedure, the separation of LiCl and Fe2O3 is achieved based on their distinct solubility in water. The resulting high-purity LiCl solution and Fe2O3 residue are directly utilizable for producing battery-grade Li2CO3 and LFP cathodes, respectively. LFP/C cathodes, synthesized using the recovered Li2CO3 and FePO4 precursor, exhibit an impressive 99.8 % capacity retention after 200 cycles at a 1C rate. This method holds great economic and environmental benefits by producing high-value-added products while avoiding the consumption of acids or alkalis.

Alkaline all-iron flow batteries (AIFBs) are highly attractive for large-scale and long-term energy storage due to the abundant availability of raw materials, low cost, inherent safety, and decoupling of capacity and power. However, a stable iron anolyte is still being explored to address complex decomposition, ligand crossover, and energy density to improve battery performance. Herein, a promising metal-organic complex, Fe(NTHPS), consisting of FeCl3 and 3,3′,3″-nitrilotris (2-hydroxypropane-1-sulfonate) (NTHPS), is specifically designed for alkaline all-iron flow battery. The NTHPS exhibits strong binding strength with iron ions, resulting in ultrahigh stability during the charge-discharge process. AIFB based on the [Fe(CN)6]4- catholyte and Fe(NTHPS) showcases an exceptionally high capacity retention of 97.8 % after 2000 cycles (0.0011 % per cycle), maintaining high coulombic efficiency near 100 %. Furthermore, with a solubility as high as 1.82 mol−1, the Fe(NTHPS) anolyte demonstrates an ultra-high theoretical capacity of 47.23 Ah L−1. This multiple negative charges ligand not only resolves existing barrier associated with AIFBs, but also provides valuable insight for their commercial application.

La-Y-Ni-based alloys are high-performance superlattice rare-earth H2-storage electrode materials. However, their complex phase structural evolution results in poor electrochemical cycle lives. In this study, a gas atomization method develops to obtain spherical La-Y-Ni-based hydrogen storage alloys with high structural stability. The spherical La-Y-Ni powder exhibits a narrow particle size distribution between 30 and 75 μm and capacity retention over 60 % for 600 cycles. A three-dimensional particle insertion strain model and finite element simulations reveal the direct effects of the particle morphology on the stress distribution during hydrogen embedding. The spherical powder exhibits a uniform strain, good mechanical properties, and resistance against pulverization and damage. The new preparation strategy for spherical powders prominently regulates the [A2B4] subunit, decreasing the subunit mismatch and lattice strain, and improving the structural stability during the hydrogen absorption/desorption. In addition, the morphology regulation, phase composition controllability, platform characteristics and electrochemical properties investigate by comparing the use of gas atomization, casting, and rapid quenching. This study provides a new direction for developing high-performance spherical electrode materials.

Water electrolysis is a key technology for the production of green hydrogen, with anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) showing promising properties. Future energy systems will require transient electrolysis operation to combine electrolysis with fluctuating renewably generated power. This study examines and optimizes the cold start process (from ambient temperature and 0 V stack voltage) of an AEMWE stack system in terms of starting time, energy demand and degradation. The influence of relevant parameters such as voltage slope, target voltage, downtime and heating strategy on the starting process is experimentally quantified. A temporary increase in cell voltage during the starting process thereby represents a suitable compromise between acceleration of the startup and maintaining a low degradation. In addition, the start–stop degradation analysis with 150 cold starts per parameter set reveals that the degradation of the AEMWE stack during the starting process is independent of the maximum cell voltage and instead correlates with the steepness of the current slope. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the degradation is assigned to electrode processes. Under moderate starting conditions, degradation rates of 2–10 V start−1 are observed. This shows that AEMWE is highly compatible with regular operational interruptions.
