Weak‐Solvent‐Coordination Inducing MnNCN Preferential Orientation Toward High‐Capacity and Fast‐Charge Lithium‐Ion Storage

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Preferentially oriented MnNCN nanosheets with high active (003) facets were synthesized by an aqueous weak solvent‐coordination strategy, and highly integrated MnNCN/CNT composite was in‐situ constructed as a high‐capacity fast‐charging anode. NCM811//MnNCN/CNT pouch cell exhibits a high energy density of 325 Wh kg−1 with a long cycle‐life over 200 ...

Formic‐Acid In Situ Hydrogen Enables Programmable Ru–Pd–Pt/C Trimetallic Interfaces for Durable Acidic HER

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Bamboo diaphragm−derived carbon is used as a support to prepare Ru–Pd–Pt/C catalysts through a stepwise reduction strategy. The Ru–Pd interface promotes formic acid activation and induces Pt deposition. The metallic interface of Ru–Pd–Pt/C enables H* generation, transfer, and recombination, thereby improving Pt utilization, acidic HER activity, and PEM
