From Materials to Systems: Challenges and Solutions for Fast‐Charge/Discharge Na‐Ion Batteries
This review systematically analyzes the key characteristics limiting the fast‐charge/discharge capability of Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) from a multi‐scale perspective encompassing electrode materials, the electrode‐electrolyte interface, and the system. Furthermore, it presents practical solution strategies for the fundamental issues arising at each scale,

Dry‑Contact Trimming for All‑Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells via Solid‑Solution Homogenization
Narrow‐bandgap Sn–Pb perovskites are promising bottom absorbers for all‐perovskite tandems but suffer from Sn‐rich surfaces and depth‐dependent lattice/compositional inhomogeneity. Layered‐perovskite‐assisted dry‐contact trimming removes Sn‐rich surface species and reconfigures the Sn–Pb absorber, enabling efficient charge collection, reduced voltage ...

Electrochemical Behavior of Tantalum Nitride Protective Layers for PEMFC Application
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) are promising technology to convert chemical energy from dihydrogen in electrical energy. HT-PEMFCs are working at high temperatures (above 120 °C) and with doped orthophosphoric acid H3PO4 PBI membranes.

Sputtering Mechanism of an Unsintered Organic–Inorganic Sputtering Target for Perovskite Solar Cells
An unsintered MAPbI3 sputtering target fabricated via a mechanochemical route enables large‐area vacuum deposition of perovskite absorber layers, while revealing an ion–photon coupled decomposition mechanism that governs target erosion and film composition under RF plasma exposure.

Process modelling for reactive magnetron sputtering
Reactive magnetron sputtering is a widely used technique for deposition of various compound thin films such as oxides and nitrides. This contribution deals with process modelling for reactive sputtering. A brief discussion of the hysteresis effect and classical Berg’s model is presented, followed by examples of application. Finally, some current topics

Redesigning Interlayers for Anode‐Free Batteries: Harnessing Continuity and Metal Inventory
Interlayers for anode‐free batteries must provide continuous interfacial coverage while remaining thin enough to preserve the finite cathode‐derived active‐metal inventory. This Perspective couples thin‐film closure with stoichiometric active‐metal consumption to reveal practical design windows across chemistry, substrate roughness, cathode loading ...
