From Dendrite Accelerator to Suppressor: Engineering a Self‐Assembled Monolayer for Ultrafast and Dendrite‐Free Zinc Deposition

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries are plagued by anode challenges such as dendrite growth and corrosion, which stem from intrinsic surface heterogeneity. Although constructing a homogeneous interfacial layer is a promising strategy, conventional electrolyte additives often suffer from incomplete or unstable coverage.

MXene‐Based Materials Contribute Better Alkali Metal–Chalcogen Batteries: Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Alkali metal–chalcogen batteries (AMCBs) are one of the most promising next‐generation energy storage systems because of their high energy density and reasonably low cost. However, the practical application of AMCBs is severely hindered by the volume expansion of the chalcogen cathode, the shuttle effect of polychalcogenides, and unstable ...
