ZrCo3B2 and HfCo3B2 Electrodes Go on Stage for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The intermetallic compounds ZrCo3B2 and HfCo3B2 with distinctive chemical bonding features are excellent OER precursors, restructuring into OER‐active electrocatalysts delivering significantly high OER activities compared to the elemental Co, which is obvious from their lower onset potentials and increased obtained current densities.

Reducing Ion Transport Friction by Mitigated Diluent‐Solvent Interaction for Sodium–Sulfur Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A local high‐concentration electrolyte to balance the ionic conductivity and interfacial stability is developed through replacing the high solvating DME with the moderate solvating diethyl ether to mitigate the diluent‐solvent interaction and reduce the local dynamic friction for Na+ transport, while maintaining the anion‐rich solvation clusters and ...

Achieving High‐Instantaneous Pulse Power in Contact‐Separation TENG via Series Capacitive Voltage Control Architecture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional contact‐separation triboelectric nanogenerators generate high voltage but deliver limited power due to premature charge dissipation. Here, a capacitive charge reservoir architecture decouples charge accumulation from discharge triggering, enabling sequential voltage amplification via floating‐layer capacitive coupling.
