Quasi-solid-state lithium metal battery is a promising candidate for next generation high energy density and high safety power supply. Despite intensive efforts on electrolytes, uncontrolled interfacial reactions on lithium with electrolyte and patchy interfacial contacts still hinder its practical process. Herein, we bring in rationally designed F contained groups into polymer skeleton via in-situ gelation for the first time to establish quasi-solid-state battery. This method achieves a capacity retention of 90% after 1000 cycles at 0.5C with LiFePO 4 cathodes. The interface constructed by polymer skeleton and reaction with –CF 3 lead to the predicted solid electrolyte interface species with high stability. Furthermore, we optimize molecular reactivity and interface stability with regulating F contained end groups in the polymer. Comparisons on different structures reveal that high performance solid stable lithium metal batteries rely on chemical modification as well as stable polymer skeleton, which is more critical to construct robust and steady SEI with uniform lithium deposition. New approach with functional groups regulation proposes a more stable cycling process with a capacity retention of 94.2% at 0.5C and 87.6% at 1C after 1000 cycles with LiFePO 4 cathodes, providing new insights for the practical development of quasi-solid-state lithium metal battery.

This paper introduced a general method of etching suspended graphene by nonmetallic SiO x nanoparticles (SiO x NPs) in graphene synthesis. Effects of etching time, concentration of silica gel and type of graphene on the etching mode of graphene have been systematically considered with using as-grown graphene film on a silica gel coating copper as model system. Nonmetallic SiO x NPs acted as etchant plays important role in the in situ etching process during the fabrication of graphene. The etched multilayer graphene pattern can be modulated from large area films to a rectangle pattern by varying the Si concentration and etching time, while single layer graphene pattern alters little. The morphology and critical structure of SiO x etched graphene were characterized by Raman spectra, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectrum. The process and mechanism described here open the way for tailoring graphene via nanoparticles instead of metal, which show significant influence of the electrical properties of graphene.

A novel single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SIPE) membrane with high lithium-ion transference number, good mechanical strength, and excellent ionic conductivity is designed and synthesized by facile coupling of lithium bis(allylmalonato) borate (LiBAMB), pentaerythritol tetrakis (2-mercaptoacetate) (PETMP) and 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol (DODT) in an electrospun poly(vinylidienefluoride) (PVDF) supporting membrane via a one-step photoinitiated in situ thiol–ene click reaction. The structure-optimized LiBAMB-PETMP-DODT (LPD)@PVDF SIPE shows an outstanding ionic conductivity of 1.32 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 25 °C, together with a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.92 and wide electrochemical window up to 6.0 V. The SIPE exhibits high tensile strength of 7.2 MPa and elongation at break of 269%. Due to these superior performances, the SIPE can suppress lithium dendrite growth, which is confirmed by galvanostatic Li plating/stripping cycling test and analysis of morphology of Li metal electrode surface after cycling test. Li|LPD@PVDF|Li symmetric cell maintains an extremely stable and low overpotential without short circuiting over the 1050 h cycle. The Li|LPD@PVDF|LiFePO 4 cell shows excellent rate capacity and outstanding cycle performance compared to cells based on a conventional liquid electrolyte (LE) with Celgard separator. The facile approach of the SIPE provides an effective and promising electrolyte for safe, long-life, and high-rate lithium metal batteries.

A bimetallic thermally regenerative ammonia-based battery (B-TRAB) using inexpensive materials efficiently converts low-grade thermal energy into electricity with high power density. Through thermal regeneration of the anolyte, the B-TRAB system realized high-voltage discharge (1.38 V) with redox couples [Cu(II)/Cu and Zn(NH3)42+/Zn] and low-voltage charge (0.72 V) with Zn(II)/Zn and Cu(NH3)42+/Cu. Adding 2 M NH3 to the anolyte of a Cu/Zn-TRAB produced a peak discharge power density of 525 W m−2-electrode (120 W m−2-membrane), and the voltage (or current) and peak power could be doubled by connecting two cells in series (or parallel). In successive regeneration cycles, a maximum power density of 115 W m−2-electrode (26 W m−2-membrane) and a net energy density of 714 W h m−3 were produced at a constant current density of 100 A m−2. The power density was enhanced to 515 W m−2-electrode (118 W m−2-membrane) and maintained in successive cycles by adding acid to the regenerated catholytes, with a net energy density of 299 W h m−3 (discharged at a constant load of 12 Ω and charged at a constant current density of 100 A m−2). A thermal-electricity conversion efficiency of 0.95% (10.7% relative to the Carnot efficiency) was achieved.

Precursors of a nickel-based metal–organic framework, denoted Ni-MOF, and the loofah plant were prepared by the microwave method, and “tree blossom” Ni/Nitrogen doped Carbon (NC)/ Carbon (C) composites were prepared by in situ pyrolysis under an argon atmosphere. During pyrolysis, the morphology, specific surface area, porous structure and electromagnetic parameters of the Ni/NC/C composites were adjusted by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature. The maximum reflection loss of the corresponding Ni/NC/C composites can reach −63.1 dB at 13.84 GHz and a thickness of 2 mm when the pyrolysis temperature was 650 ℃ and the filling amount was 16 wt%. And the effective absorption bandwidth was 35.44 GHz when the thickness was adjusted from 1 mm to 5.5 mm within the range of 2–40 GHz. Excellent performance comes from conduction loss, dipole and interface polarization, magnetic resonance, multiple electromagnetic reflections and scattering, and equilibrium impedance matching.

In the past two decades, a lot of high-capacity conversion-type metal oxides have been intensively studied as alternative anode materials for Li-ion batteries with higher energy density. Unfortunately, their large voltage hysteresis (0.8–1.2 V) within reversed conversion reactions results in huge round-trip inefficiencies and thus lower energy efficiency (50%–75%) in full cells than those with graphite anodes. This remains a long-term open question and has been the most serious drawback toward application of metal oxide anodes. Here we clarify the origins of voltage hysteresis in the typical SnO 2 anode and propose a universal strategy to minimize it. With the established in situ phosphating to generate metal phosphates during reversed conversion reactions in synergy with boosted reaction kinetics by the added P and Mo, the huge voltage hysteresis of 0.9 V in SnO 2 , SnO 2 -Mo, and 0.6 V in SnO 2 -P anodes is minimized to 0.3 V in a ternary SnO 2 -Mo-P (SOMP) composite, along with stable high capacity of 936 mA h g −1 after 800 cycles. The small voltage hysteresis can remain stable even the SOMP anode operated at high current rate of 10 A g −1 and wide-range temperatures from 60 to −30 °C, resulting in a high energy efficiency of 88.5% in full cells. This effective strategy to minimize voltage hysteresis has also been demonstrated in Fe 2 O 3 , Co 3 O 4 -basded conversion-type anodes. This work provides important guidance to advance the high-capacity metal oxide anodes from laboratory to industrialization.

Two transition metal-based MOFs , {[Ni 2 (pip) 2 (bimb) 1.5 ]·2(H 2 O)} n ( 1 ), and {[Zn(pip)(bimb)]·DMF} n ( 2 ) (pip = 5-phenyl-isophthalate, bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene) have been successfully prepared. Complex 1 displays a three-dimensional structure with a 7-connected svk topology with a point symbol of (3 3 ∙4 14 ∙5 3 ∙6). Complex 2 performs a two-dimensional (4,4) sql net with channels of 7.0 × 5.5 Å 2 and 10.5 × 4.7 Å 2 along the b and c axis, respectively. The magnetic result of 1 shows an antiferromagnetic coupling between the two metal centers. Desolvated 2 adsorbs around 15.25 wt% 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The 5-FU was slowly released without any burst release. The degradation of methyl orange caused by oxidizing sulfate radicals (SO 4− ) in a Fenton-like process has also been explored.

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are considered as very promising energy storage systems due to their higher theoretical performance and lower active material cost. However, the notorious shuttle effect and lithium dendrite growth have severely restricted the industrial production of Li–S batteries. In this study, we used polyethylene oxide (PEO) as the matrix and added multifunctional nanofillers (nano In 2 O 3 ) to effectively inhibit the shuttle effect caused by the dissolution of lithium polysulphides (LiPSs) in Li–S batteries. As a multifunctional filler, nano-In 2 O 3 not only improves the ionic conductivity of the PEO electrolyte, but also forms a Li–In alloy layer in situ at the polymer/anode interface, which can cause the rapid diffusion of lithium ions and prevent the side reactions between lithium metal anode and the electrolyte. Achieving the effect of stabilizing the lithium metal anode and suppressing the shuttle effect. Multiple problems in the system are solved by introducing a single component with multiple functions. The symmetrical lithium battery based on the PEO/LiTFSI/In 2 O 3 solid polymer electrolyte (PEO/LiTFSI/In 2 O 3 SPE) has higher cycle stability (over 1200 h) because it is more stable to the lithium metal anode. The Li–S full battery also exhibits excellent electrochemical performance. After 500 cycles at 1C, its capacity can be maintained at 570 mAh g −1 , the capacity decay rate is 0.038%. The coulombic efficiency (CE) during the cycle is also close 100%.

In this study, green tea was used as a reducing agent to prepare GT-nZVI/Cu nano-zero-valent iron-copper bimetallic materials for nitrate degradation. Through single factor experiments, the process conditions for nitrate removal by GT-nZVI/Cu were optimized. By measuring the contents of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia nitrogen in the reaction products, the reduction pathway of nitrate-nitrogen in GT-nZVI/Cu was studied. In addition, the removal mechanism of nitrate by GT-nZVI/Cu was also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and kinetic experiments. The results showed that the size of GT-nZVI/Cu particles is between 50 and 70 nm, and they are irregular spherical shapes. The polyphenol antioxidants in green tea make GT-nZVI/Cu have stronger antioxidant properties, and the denitration products are mostly nitrogen. The addition of copper ions accelerates the reaction time and reaction rate. The maximum removal rate of nitrate by GT-nZVI/Cu within 75 min can be up to 99 %. After three repeated experiments, the removal rate of GT-nZVI/Cu can still reach 70 %. The removal mechanism of GT-nZVI/Cu has enhanced nitrate removal through complexation, redox, and adsorption co-precipitation. This study provides a new route for the green preparation and efficient application of nZVI.

In this work, ruthenium-based bimetallic catalysts of 1Ru-5 M/TiO 2 (M = Co, Ce, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni) were prepared and evaluated in ethyl acetate oxidation. It was found that 1Ru-5Cu/TiO 2 gave the highest catalytic activity. The influence of CuO content and the preparation method on the catalytic activity was also studied. 1Ru-5Cu/TiO 2 showed great catalytic stability in the on-stream reaction test. The influence of H 2 O on the catalytic activity is presented. The bimetallic catalyst 1Ru-5Cu/TiO 2 showed better catalytic performance than the monometallic catalysts 1Ru/TiO 2 and 5Cu/TiO 2 . XRD, TEM, HAADF-STEM, H 2 -TPR, and XPS characterizations were conducted, and the synergistic effect between Ru and Cu was well presented. In situ FTIR studies were also conducted, and the reaction intermediates were revealed on the catalyst surface. The theoretical calculations suggested that ethyl acetate is more easily adsorbed on the CuO surface, while it reacts more easily on the RuO 2 surface . Accordingly, a reaction mechanism for the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate over a Ru-Cu bimetallic catalyst is proposed.

Constructing robust anode with strong aluminophilicity and rapid desolvation kinetics is essential for achieving high utilization, long-term durability, and superior rate performance in Al metal-based energy storage, yet remains largely unexplored. Herein, molybdenum nanoparticles embedded onto nitrogen-doped graphene (Mo@NG) are designed and prepared as Al host to regulate the deposition behavior and achieve homogeneous Al plating/stripping. The monodispersed Mo nanoparticles reduce the desolvation energy barrier and promote the deposition kinetics of Al. Additionally, Mo nanoparticles act as aluminophilic nucleation sites to minimize the Al nucleation overpotential, further guiding uniform and dense Al deposition. As a result, the dual-functional Mo@NG endows Al anodes with low voltage hysteresis, reversible Al plating/stripping with high coulombic efficiency, and excellent high-rate capability under 5 mA cm −2 . Moreover, the as-designed Al metal full batteries deliver a high capacity retention of 92.8% after 3000 cycles at 1 A g −1 . This work provides an effective solution to optimize the electrochemical properties of Al metal anode from the perspective of desolvation and deposition reactions, towards the development of high-safety and long-cycling aluminum-ion batteries.

Porous organic Polymers (POPs) can not only exhibit high specific surface area and pore volume, but also tunable pore size distribution. Herein, copolymers of 2-hydroxyethylmethylacrylate (HEMA) and divinylbenzene (DVB) with specific pore structure were synthesized via a dispersion polymerization strategy, and then immobilized metallocene catalysts with well-defined pore structure were obtained on the produced POP supports. The nitrogen sorption and Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) results demonstrate that the pore structure of the immobilized metallocene catalyst is highly dependent on the pore structure of the POPs , and the pore structure of metallocene catalysts or the POPs has a significant influence on the molecular chain growth of the produced polyethylene. By tuning the distribution of the active species scattered in the micro- and the narrow meso-pore range (roughly ≤4 nm), the chain growth of the polyolefin can be tailored effectively during the polymerization process, although differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) results show that the chemical composition distributions (CCDs) of produced PE from the POPs-supported metallocene catalysts are not determined by polymerization activity or molecule chain length, but mainly by the active site species scattered in the supported catalysts. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) shows that the produced polyethylene has highly porous fabric which consists of nanofiber and spherical beads of micron dimension.
