Lithium metal is a promising anode material for rechargeable batteries with high energy density . However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth severely hinders the commercialization of Li metal anode . Inspired by the “leveling” mechanism in traditional electroplating, we demonstrate that boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) as a liquid electrolyte additive can level out Li protrusions and enable dendrite-free Li metal anodes. 2D BNNSs can automatically and continuously flatten Li deposits and accommodate volume changes during Li plating/stripping. B atoms in BNNS as Lewis acid sites interact with Lewis basic anions in electrolyte, reducing Li + concentration gradient and unifying Li deposition. The collect effects of BNNS additive give rise to dendrite-free Li anodes over 400 h and deep plating/stripping up to 35 mAh cm −2 , as well as potential application in sub-zero temperature batteries (−20 °C). Li–S full cells using BNNS electrolyte also exhibit improved performance. This simple and effective strategy is applicable to develop dendrite-free Li or other metal anodes in high-performance energy storage devices.

To meet the high demand for ceramic/superalloy composite structural components in various fields, an advanced high-temperature adhesion technique was firstly developed by preparing a novel inorganic/organic hybrid adhesive suitable for ZrO 2 and TC4 . Chemical bonding started to work at ∼600°C, and became the crucial bonding mechanism at elevated temperatures. The formation of ZrSiO 4 and Ti 5 Si 3 at the interfaces of two substrates not only increased the interfacial connection strength , but also formed two gradient layers with a size of ∼2 μm to effectively alleviate the difference of composition and performance between the adhesive and substrates. In the temperature range of 500–900°C, the matching degree of CTE among ZrO 2 , adhesive and TC4 is higher, and the maximum difference does not exceed 3×10 -6 K -1 . Meanwhile, the formation of a composite structure containing various ceramics (ZrO 2 , SiC and ZrB 2 ) and intermetallics (Ni–Si, Al–Ni), and the improvement of structural compactness of adhesive from 500 to 900°C greatly improved the bonding strength to the maximum value of 31.4 MPa at 900°C. Also, the adhesive pretreated at 900°C showed good thermal cycling resistance, and the strength was still higher than 15 MPa after 50 cycles. For cured adhesive, when used directly in an extreme environment, it can provide bonding strength not less than 5 MPa in the whole temperature range, indicating that the adhesive possessed potential emergency repair convenience. This work significantly broadened the application of high-temperature-resistant adhesion technology in the connection of dissimilar ceramics and alloys.

P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 is considered as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion battery (SIBs) because of its high capacity and discharge potential. However, its practical use is limited by Na + /vacancy ordering and P2-O2 phase transition. Herein, a Ti 4+ /F − co-doping strategy is developed to address these issues. The optimal P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 exhibits much enhanced sodium storage performance in the high voltage range of 2.0–4.4 V, including a cycling stability of 77.2% over 300 cycles at a rate of 2 C and a high-rate capability of 87.7 mAh g −1 at 6 C. Moreover, the P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 delivers reversible capacities of 82.7 and 128.1 mAh g −1 at −10 and 50 °C at a rate of 2 C, respectively. The capacity retentions over 200 cycles at −10 °C is 94.2%, implying more opportunity for practical application. In-situ X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that both P2-O2 phase transitions and Na + /vacancy ordering is suppressed by Ti 4+ /F − co-doping, which resulting in fast Na + diffusion and stable phase structure. The hard carbon//P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.37 Ti 0.3 O 1.9 F 0.1 full cell exhibits a high energy density of 310.2 Wh kg −1 and remarkable cyclability with 82.1% retention after 300 cycles at 1 C in the voltage range of 1.5–4.2 V. These results demonstrate that the co-doping Ti 4+ /F − is a promising strategy to improve the electrochemical properties of P2-Na 0.67 Ni 0.33 Mn 0.67 O 2 , providing a facile tactic to develop high performance cathode materials for SIBs.

Development of Ni-rich and Co-poor cathodes (Ni ≥ 80%, Co ≤ 5%) is indispensable for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to the serious impact of scarce resources and fragile supply chain of cobalt, but they suffer from a more prominent lattice oxygen emission with serious Li/Ni intermixing as well as worsening crystal and interface structure. Herein, CeO2−x-coated LiNi0.9Co0.045Mn0.045Al0.01O2 has been demonstrated to stabilize lattice oxygen by the well-dispersed Al–O bonds and the reversible oxygen-storage protective layer. The in situ DEMS and ex situ spectral analyses verified the negligible O2 and CO2 emission, even charging to 4.4 V, and the formation of stable cathode–electrolyte interfacial membrane. The as-obtained cathode exhibited a reversible specific capacity as high as 223 mA h g−1 at 0.1C and 140 mA h g−1 even at 10C with 96.7% capacity retention at 1C after 100 cycles in a coin-type half-cell. About 90.1% capacity retention could still be obtained at 1C in a pouch-type full-cell after 300 cycles. This work provides a viable cathode for durable LIBs by stabilizing the lattice oxygen of Ni-rich and Co-poor cathodes.

Worked as anode material , Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 delivers a stable electrochemical performance with good lithium storage capability. Structural analyses show that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 anode experiences slight volume change during electrochemical lithiation/delithiation process. Moreover, the reversibility of structural evolution is further demonstrated by in-situ X-ray diffraction technique . All these evidences prove the cycling stability of Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 as lithium storage material. Besides, the kinetic properties of the Li + ion storage in Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 are systematically investigated. The observed results reveal that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 delivers the lithium ions diffusion coefficient in the range of 10 − 14 –10 − 12 cm 2 s − 1 during the discharge process and 10 − 15 –10 − 12 cm 2 s − 1 during the recharge process. It suggests that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 has good lithiation/delithiation kinetics in rechargeable batteries.

The nickel-based metallic organic framework (Ni-MOF) [Ni 2 (OH) 2 (C 8 H 4 O 4 )] material with a hierarchical microblocks structure is efficiently synthesized in 2 h by the ultrasonic method. At the moment Ni-MOF is used as the electrode materials and the supercapacitors (SCs) perform very well with great electrochemical capacity which exhibited particular electric capacitance of 631 C g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 . This is one of the highest performances and the shortest synthesis time reported so far for MOFs. Besides, there is a battery – SC hybrid SC assembled by using Ni-MOF and activated carbon. On the condition of having a power density of 302.2 W kg −1 with the voltage window of 1.2 V, the SC produces an energy density of 28.5 W h kg −1 . During the same period, the SC maintains outstanding cycling stability capacitance retention of 85.5% after 3000 cycles at current density of 10 A g −1 . The great electrochemical capability is due to the distinct crystal texture and particular morphological feature. Herein, it is displayed that the ultrasonic method is a fast and effective approach for preparing Ni-MOF SC electrode materials.

Water hypoxia and metal pollution are commonly co-existed in urbanized estuaries. This study focuses on the effect of an extended dissolved oxygen (DO) full-life dynamics (86 days) on metal behavior across the sediment-water interface through laboratory microcosms from two typical zones in Pearl River Estuary. Combining our time-series results of concentrations and fluxes, it showed that Co, Ni, and Zn consistently presented a release-precipitation-release trajectory with an oxic-hypoxic-anoxic-reoxic transition, characterized with highly variable behavior in the hypoxic-anoxic hotmoments. In parallel, changing DO dynamics significantly activated a repartitioning process of Co, Ni, and Zn among several species and elevated their risk in sediments, promoting the formation of more labile species in the 0–10 mm hotspots, where metals sensitively responded. Over DO transition, metal cycling was tightly co-related with Fe, Mn, and S elements. It was found that Mn was dominated in low oxygen-hypoxic period, but switched to S and Fe in anoxic stage, limiting sustained metal liberation to overlying water. Enlarging this experiment to practice, released Zn fluxes from sediments in hypoxic summer could contribute about ∼2.0% to their stocks in water column, while increase to 20% (1 m bottom water) in highly-stratified zones. This study has certain significance in understanding the long-term metal behavior and fate in estuarine regions, even lakes and reservoirs.

Overheating caused by exothermic effect of magnesiothermic reduction reaction is usually considered as a drawback in preparing porous silicon anode materials for Li-ion batteries. However, in the present work, thermal effect is available in facile preparation of macroporous Si by tabletting pretreatment . The released heat in magnesiothermic reaction is easily accumulated on the tablet with high density, leading to the collapse of the mesoporous structure of the precursor and formation of uniform macroporous silicon . Such macroporous silicon shows a higher initial Coulomb efficiency (86.5%) and enhanced cycling stability in comparison with mesoporous silicon prepared without tabletting treatment. XRD analysis indicates that the reaction temperature decreases to 430–435 °C (based on set temperature), much lower than that of the reaction without pretreatment. Since the structure of product has less dependency on precursor, a wide variety of precursors can be used to synthesize macroporous silicon, e.g. low cost biosilica. Being ascribed to low reaction temperature, heating rate insensitivity, less dependency on precursor, enhanced cycling performance and high initial Coulomb efficiency of the Si products, the modified magnesiothermic reduction method is promising for application in fabricating Si anode.

In the past few years, silane coupling agents are often used to modify the surface of silicon materials; however, researches in preparation of SiO X -based materials pyrolyzed from silane coupling agents are seldom reported. Hence, in order to prepare amorphous SiO X @C anodes for Li-ion storage, we adopted three kinds of silane coupling agents as organic silicon sources. The results show that silane coupling agents with vinyl group is the optimum organic silicon source. Owing to the strong chemical bonds of Si–O–C, amorphous SiO X particles are uniformly embedded in carbon matrix, forming monodisperse microbeads architecture with good buffer abilities. Therefore, the V-SiO X @C anodes derived from silane coupling agents with vinyl groups show good electrochemical performance, retaining a reversible discharge capacity of 940 mAh g −1 at a current density of 100 mA g −1 after 200 cycles, and it still depicts a good long-term cycling durability, maintaining 739 mAh g −1 at a current density of 400 mA g −1 after 400 cycles.

Thermochemical two-step CO 2 splitting is a potential approach that fixes the sustainable resource into transportable liquid fuels. However, the harsh CO 2 splitting conditions, the limited oxygen release kinetics and capacity of metal oxides block further promoted the CO yield and solar-to-fuel energy efficiency. Here, we propose a different carbon cycle assisted by Ni/La 2 O 3 via coupling methane decomposition with thermochemical CO 2 splitting, replacing conventional metal oxides cycle. Superior performance was demonstrated with methane conversion reached around 94% with almost pure H 2 generation. Encouragingly, CO 2 conversion of 98% and CO yield of 6.9 mmol g −1 derived from CO 2 were achieved, with peak CO evolution rate (402 mL min −1 g −1 ) of orders of magnitude higher than that in metal oxide process and outstanding thermodynamic solar-to-fuel energy efficiency (55.5% vs. 18.5%). This was relevant to the synergistic activation of La 2 O 3 and Ni for CO 2 in carbon cycle, thus improving CO 2 splitting reaction with carbon species.

Sulfide glasses with a high lithium-ion conductivity are promising solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. In this study, 95(0.7Li 2 S–0.3P 2 S 5 )–5Li 3 PO 4 glass electrolyte is prepared by mixing 70Li 2 S-30P 2 S 5 (mol%) glass and Li 3 PO 4 crystal using mechanical milling technique. The effects on the structures and electrochemical properties of the obtained ternary sulfide glass were examined. The ternary sulfide glass shows a good electrochemical stability, which may exhibit a wide electrochemical window up to 10 V (vs. Li/Li + ). Furthermore, the 95(0.7Li 2 S-0.3P 2 S 5 )-5Li 3 PO 4 glass electrolyte displays an electrical conductivity of 2.513 × 10 − 3 S cm − 1 at 100 °C. The all-solid-state lithium-ion cell assembled with 95(0.7Li 2 S-0.3P 2 S 5 )-5Li 3 PO 4 glass electrolyte shows a favourable cyclability, which can reveal a discharge capacity of 144 mAh g − 1 at 0.05 °C and a discharge capacity of 63.9 mAh g − 1 at 0.1C after the 50th cycle at 100 °C, respectively.

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) using zinc metal as anode materials suffer from Zn dendrite formation and hydrogen evolution during the stripping/plating process, which will lead to performance degradation and hinder practical application. Herein, the 1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide (NI) is proposed as a promising dendrite-free organic anode material for ZIBs . Moreover, the effect of different binders on electrochemical performance of NI electrode is investigated. Compared NI electrode with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder, the NI electrode with the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) binder shows highly enhanced rate capability (122.2 mA h g – 1 at 5 A g – 1 ) and cycling performance (123.3 mA h g – 1 at 3 A g – 1 after 2200 cycles). The improvement cycling stability of NI is attributed to PTFE binder, which effectively maintains electrode structure and inhibits dissolution of organic molecules during the cycling process. In addition, the ion kinetics analyses reveal that the superior rate capability is provided by the capacitive charge storage. And the carbonyl group of NI is active center of electrochemistry, which is revealed by in-situ attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and ex-situ Raman. Besides, the aqueous Zn-ion full cell based on metal-free NI anode and Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) cathode exhibits excellent rate capability (113.9 mA h g – 1 at 10.0 A g – 1 ), high operation voltage of ~ 1.2 V (at 1.0 A g – 1 ) and energy density of 50.2 Wh kg total – 1 . This work may provide a new design inspiration to develop organic dendrite-free zinc anodes for high-performance aqueous ZIBs batteries.
