Rechargeable aqueous zinc–ion batteries are regarded as promising energy storage devices due to their attractive economic benefits and extraordinary electrochemical performance. However, the sluggish Zn2+ mass transfer behavior and water‐induced parasitic reactions that occurred on the anode–electrode interface inevitably restrain their applications. Herein, inspired by the selective permeability...
Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries hold attractive potential for large‐scale energy storage devices owing to their prominent electrochemical performance and high security. Nevertheless, the applications of aqueous electrolytes have generated various challenges, including uncontrolled dendrite growth and parasitic reactions, thereby deteriorating the Zn anode's stability. Herein, inspired by the superior affinity...
Bio‐Inspired Light‐Trapping Nano‐Structures
With the assistance of the photothermal field on sunflower‐like honeycomb, the kinetics of water‐splitting is improved through the construction of bio‐inspired light‐trapping heterostructures with sunflower‐like honeycomb. The unique light‐trapping structure has high solar photothermal conversion efficiency according finite difference time domain (FDTD)...
Herein, inspired by natural sunflower heads’ properties increasing the temperature of dish‐shaped flowers by tracking the sun, a novel hybrid heterostructure (MoS2/Ni3S2@CA, CA means carbon nanowire arrays) with the sunflower‐like structure to boost the kinetics of water splitting is proposed. Density functional theory (DFT) reveals that it can modulate the active electronic states of NiMo atoms...
Aqueous zinc–ion batteries typically suffer from sluggish interfacial reaction kinetics and drastic cathode dissolution owing to the desolvation process of hydrated Zn2+ and continual adsorption/desorption behavior of water molecules, respectively. To address these obstacles, a bio‐inspired approach, which exploits the moderate metabolic energy of cell systems and the amphiphilic nature of plasma...
