Harnessing Cation–Anion Synergistic Effect for High‐Performance Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Guanidine (CH6N3+) cations preferentially adsorb on the Zinc (Zn) anode surface, generating an electrostatic shielding effect to promote uniform Zn2+ deposition. Meanwhile, SO42– anions participate in constructing the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on the Zn anode, forming a robust protective layer.

Electrodeposited Piezoelectric Chitosan Films: A New Approach Toward a Scalable and Standardized Fabrication of Sensors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Electrodeposition is explored as an innovative and scalable approach to fabricate standardized and highly piezoelectric chitosan films. Chitosan deposition is driven onto gold‐coated silicon plates by an applied voltage. Films’ piezoelectricity is clearly proved and correlated to the material structural order.

Synthesis and One‐Electron Reduction of Donor‐Acceptor‐Stabilized SiII–EII–SiII Trimetallylenes (E = Ge, Sn, Pb)

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The first isolable trimetallylenes (SiII)2EII (E = Ge, Sn, Pb) with pπ‐type silanylidenyl donors have been synthesized, having donor–acceptor electronic structures that give rise to near‐infrared absorption and enable access to bis(silanylidenyl)‐supported GeI and SnI radical anions upon one‐electron reduction with elemental potassium. ABSTRACT Herein,

Degradation Pathways of Silicon‐Based Anodes in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon‐based anodes undergo degradation through five primary pathways: (1) mechanical and structural deterioration of the active material, (2) loss of electrode integrity and electrical contact, (3) mechanical instability of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), characterized by repetitive fracture and deformation, (4) chemical instability of the ...

Alcohol‐Adduct Mediated Precursor Stabilization Strategies for Conformal SnO2 Layers in Highly Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Modules

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
An alcohol‐adduct‐mediated strategy is employed to stabilize tin isopropoxide for the formation of a homogeneous double electron transport layer (ETL) incorporating SnO2 nanoparticles (NPs). This double‐ETL exhibits improved optical and charge‐transport properties due to reduced defect density and better energy level alignment, resulting in high ...

Regulating Uniform Zinc Deposition via Covalently Tethered Imidazolium Cations in Polyacrylamide Hydrogel Electrolytes for Stable Aqueous Zinc Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A positively charged polyionic liquid hydrogel electrolyte is developed for highly stable aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Imidazolium cations anchored on the polymer framework create a dynamic electrostatic shield at the anode interface. This active layer effectively repels water molecules and guides uniform zinc deposition, thereby suppressing dendrite ...
