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.

Helical Fiber‐Shaped Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries with Modified Zn Anode and Self‐Healing Gel Electrolyte for Flexible Electronics

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A triple synergistic strategy (bismuth‐modified Zn@CNTF anode, helical electrode architecture, and self‐healing gel electrolyte) endows fiber‐shaped aqueous Zn‐ion batteries with outstanding stability. The device delivers a high energy density of 130.54 Wh·kg−1 and retains ≈90.2% of its initial capacity after 1000 dynamic bending cycles, representing a
