Supercapacitor Safety: Overcharge‐Induced Failure Mechanisms in Electrochemical Double‐Layer Capacitors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved synchrotron radiography reveals the internal evolution of electrochemical double‐layer capacitors under abusive overcharge. EDLCs are shown to follow a thermally driven failure pathway involving electrolyte decomposition, gas generation, and structural collapse, distinct from chemically driven thermal runaway effects of Lithium‐ion ...

Synthesis of Ladder and Flexible Polysulfonimides Directly From Anionic Monomers: Investigating Structure–Property Convergence in Succinonitrile–Polymer Electrolyte Blends

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Direct synthesis of sulfonimide‐based polymers of intrinsic microporosity enables comparison with compositionally similar flexible analogs. Incorporation of a common pore‐filling transport medium drives these fundamentally different polymer architectures toward similar bulk conductivity and mechanical properties while revealing distinct microscopic ion‐

Transient Sleep Deprivation Induces Persistent Auditory Neuropathy via ROS‐Initiated Neuroinflammation and BK Channel Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep disturbance severity closely tracks hearing loss in a clinical cohort, yet the mechanistic link remains unclear. Acute sleep deprivation is shown to trigger transient cochlear oxidative stress that switches into a self‐sustaining neuroinflammatory state, suppressing BK channels and causing irreversible synaptopathy.

Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Combustion Characteristics of Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel in Conventional and PPCI Regimes for a High-Compression-Ratio Engine

Energies
Low temperature combustion (LTC) mitigates the nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) trade-off in conventional compression ignition engines. Significant research on LTC using partially premixed charge compression ignition (PPCI) has typically ...

Fire‐Safe Hierarchical Solid Polymer Electrolytes Enabled by Dual‐Functional Microcapsules for Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual‐functional fire‐safe microcapsules are integrated into hierarchical solid polymer electrolytes to provide sequential protection against thermal abuse. The ammonium hydrogen phytate‐modified shell forms a protective char barrier, while the thermally triggered release of perfluoro(2‐methyl‐3‐pentanone) actively suppresses combustion, enabling safer ...

Triple‐Coupling Regulation Enables Dendrite‐Free Subzero Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A formamide‐ethanol deep eutectic electrolyte enables triple‐coupling regulation of solvation structure, interfacial chemistry, and crystallographic Zn deposition. The reconstructed Zn2+ solvation reduces water activity and suppresses side reactions, while a robust hybrid SEI stabilizes the interface.
