K+‐Triggered Defect Engineering and Proton‐Coupled Storage in V2O5·nH2O for Advanced Zn‐Ion Thin‐Film and Microbatteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
K+ pre‐intercalation in V2O5·nH2O induces interlayer contraction, oxygen‐vacancy formation, and mixed‐valence states, activating defect‐mediated proton‐dominated transport. This enables cooperative H+/Zn2+ storage with enhanced kinetics and stability. The resulting Zn‐based thin‐film and microbatteries deliver high areal energy and capacity, offering a

Highly Reversible Zinc Anode Enabled by a Thiourea‐Derived Protective Layer for Alkaline Zinc Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A ZnS/carbon nitride (ZnS/CN) protective coating is constructed on Zn anodes via ultrasonic spray coating, enabling uniform and stable Zn stripping/plating, suppressing dendrite formation, and mitigating parasitic side reactions, resulting in a prolonged cycling lifespan and high reversibility of the Zn anode in alkaline Zn–air batteries. ABSTRACT Zinc‐

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Electrolyte–Framework Matching in High‐Voltage TEMPO‐COF Cathodes for Lithium Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TEMPO‐functionalized covalent organic frameworks are investigated as high‐voltage cathodes for lithium batteries. Screening five electrolyte anions identifies lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) as the optimal electrolyte, balancing capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability, while buckypaper electrodes achieve high mass loading (40 mg cm−2)
