Interphase Self‐Optimization Enables Stable Magnesium Anode in Hydrogel Electrolyte

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Based on a MgCl2 hydrogel electrolyte, we identify a tridentate chelant additive to construct a magnesium oxychloride interphase on Mg metal anodes. This self‐optimized interphase enables low‐resistance Mg2+ stripping/plating, resulting in much elongated cycling life of 600 h with 0.24 V nucleation overpotential.

Integrating ZnO/Ag2O@g‐C3N4‐Based Nanocomposites Into a Carrageenan Matrix to Efficiently Remove Heavy Metals From Water

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research focused on characterizing graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C3N4) nanocomposites incorporated with ZnO and Ag2O nanoparticles, and carrageenan to remove heavy metals. The ZnO/Ag2O@ g‐C3N4 and ZnO/Ag2O/g‐C3N4@Carr nanocomposites demonstrated thermal stability of 97.40% (108.81°C) and 82.80% (188.99°C) for TGA.
