The poor reversibility and stability of Zn metal anode (ZMA) caused by uncontrolled Zn deposition behaviors and serious side reactions severely impeded the practical application of aqueous Zn metal battery. Herein, a liquid‐dynamic and self‐adaptive protective layer (LSPL) was constructed on the ZMA surface for inhibiting dendrites and by‐products formation. Interestingly, the outer LSPL consists...
The battery performance declines significantly in severely cold areas, especially discharge capacity and cycle life, which is the most significant pain point for new energy consumers. To address this issue and improve the low‐temperature characteristic of aluminum‐ion batteries, in this work, polydopamine‐derived N‐doped carbon nanospheres are utilized to modify the most promising graphite material...
Despite being one of the most promising materials in anode materials, molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) encounters certain obstacles, such as inadequate cycle stability, low conductivity, and unsatisfactory charge‐discharge (CD) rate performance. In this study, a novel approach is employed to address the drawbacks of MoS2. Carbon polymer dots (CPDs) are incorporated to prepare three‐dimensional (3D) nanoflower‐like...
The dendrite growth and parasitic reactions that occur on Zn metal anode (ZMA)/electrolyte interface hinder the development of aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) in next‐generation renewable energy storage systems. Fortunately, reconstructing the inner Helmholtz layer (IHL) by introducing an electrolyte additive, is viewed as one of the most promising strategies to harvest the stable ZMA. Herein,...
Developing stable catalysts with higher selectivity and activity within a wide potential range is critical for efficiently converting CO2 to ethanol. Here, the carbon‐encapsulated CuNi nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen‐doped nanoporous graphene (CuNi@C/N‐npG) composite are designedly prepared and display the excellent CO2 reduction performance with the higher ethanol Faradaic effiency (FEethanol ≥...
As a high‐energy‐density cathode material, organosulfur has great potential for lithium batteries. However, their practical application is plagued by electronic/ionic insulation and sluggish redox kinetics. Hence, our strategy is to design a self‐weaving, freestanding host material by introducing reduced graphene oxide–supported VS2 nanosheets (VS2‐rGO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for lithium–phenyl...
It remains a great challenge to design and manufacture battery‐type supercapacitors with satisfactory flexibility, appropriate mechanical property, and high energy density under high power density. Herein, a concept of porous engineering is proposed to simply prepare two‐layered bimetallic heterojunction with porous structures. This concept is successfully applied in fabrication of flexible electrode...
All‐purpose electrode materials (APEMs), which can be effectively available on not only alkali‐ion batteries but also emerging Li metal batteries, are urgently pursued to open up cost‐efficient tactics for practical application of energy storage systems (ESSs), but still remain challenging. Herein, the hierarchical porous carbon nanotubes network (NOPCT) with well‐tailored nanoarchitecture and high...
Antimony is an attractive anode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its high theoretical capacity and appropriate sodiation potential. However, its practical application is severely impeded by its poor cycling stability caused by dramatic volumetric variations during sodium uptake and release processes. Here, to circumvent this obstacle, Sb@C@TiO2 triple‐shell nanoboxes (TSNBs) are synthesized...
The effectiveness of active targeting in cancer nanomedicine is becoming increasingly more debatable. Here, the role of the ligand functionalization patterns (number and distribution) on nanoparticle surfaces in tumor targeting is investigated using a 9 nm sized miniferritin protein nanocage, Dps modified with Arg‐Gly‐Asp (RGD) ligands whose functionalization patterns are precisely controlled. In...
Light‐ignited combustions have been proposed for a variety of industrial and scientific applications. They suffer, however, from ultrahigh light ignition thresholds and poor self‐propagating combustion of typical high‐energy density materials, e.g., 2,4,6,8,10,12‐(hexanitrohexaaza)cyclododecane (CL‐20). Here, reported is that both light ignition and combustion performance of CL‐20 are greatly enhanced...
In article number 1900338, Guangcheng Yang and co‐workers provide a direction to achieve high performance light‐ignited combustions by formulating composite energetic materials. A novel relay‐domino‐like combustion reaction in a graphene oxide/2,4,6,8,10,12‐(hexanitrohexaaza) cyclododecane (GO/CL‐20) composite can be ignited by an infrared laser pulse in the order of ten‐milliseconds. A synergistic...
With the development of energy science and electronic technology, interfacial thermal transport has become a key issue for nanoelectronics, nanocomposites, energy transmission, and conservation, etc. The application of thermal interfacial materials and other physical methods can reliably improve the contact between joined surfaces and enhance interfacial thermal transport at the macroscale. With the...
