Molecular Interfacial Chelation Enables Wide‐Temperature Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study introduces a chelating additive for wide‐temperature aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Methionine‐chelated zinc adsorb onto the Zn(002) plane and release Zn2+ in situ, forming a zinc‐ion‐rich buffer reservoir at the electrode/electrolyte interface, enabling aqueous zinc‐ion batteries to exhibit stable cycling performance over the temperature range

Modular Interfacial Engineering via Nanofiber‐Reinforced Hydrogels for Stabilizing Zn Anodes Toward High‐Performance Zn‐Based Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Inspired by reinforced concrete casting, a modular interfacial engineering strategy was developed by integrating a rigid polyacrylonitrile fiber skeleton with an ion‐regulating hydrogel matrix. This composite interface homogenizes Zn2+ flux, accelerates ion transport, and stabilizes Zn deposition while suppressing hydrogen evolution and corrosion ...

In Situ Constructed TiO2 on Ti3C2‐MXene Cathode Enables Photo‐Assisted Zn‐Ion Hybrid Microsupercapacitors With High‐Energy Density

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A strategy has been developed for the in situ constructed of TiO2 nanoparticles on a Ti3C2‐MXene cathode, which is assembled with a zinc anode to form a photo‐assisted ZIH‐MSC device. The designed light‐assisted ZIH‐MSC device achieved a wide operating voltage (1.3 V) and battery‐level energy density (97 μWh cm−2, 1 mA cm−2), overcoming the limitations

Carbon Nanopatch‐Decorated Defect‐Rich Regions for Stable Zinc Metal Anodes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
To improve the stability of Zn anodes, a carbon‐nanopatch strategy based on candle‐flame pyrolysis is proposed. After rinsing, carbon nanoparticles are mainly retained in defect‐rich regions on the Zn surface, where they help alleviate local field intensification, improve interfacial uniformity, and mitigate parasitic reactions.
