Enhancing Anode‐Free Lithium Metal Batteries: A Lightweight MPTS‐MXene Current Collector for Superior Performance and Energy Density

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study introduces an MPTS‐modified MXene current collector for anode‐free lithium metal batteries (AFLMBs). A key advantage of MPTS‐MXene is its ultralight weight, only 15% as heavy as standard copper per unit volume. Its special layered structure and Si‐O rich surface help lithium deposit smoothly and flat, while forming a protective layer that ...

Nanostructured Optical Superabsorbers from Carbon Nanotube Forest for Heat Management Using Environmental Blackbody Radiation from the Visible to Mid‐Infrared

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Our computational model of the optical absorption from multiwalled carbon nanotubes suggests the optical absorption depends strongly on the in‐plane electrical conductivity, and weakly on the through‐plane conductivity. Such strong absorption enables solar‐to‐thermal conversion for heat scavenging in cold climates and radiative cooling in hot climates,

Thermoresponsive Gel Polymer Electrolytes Enabled by Retained Double Bonds for Thermal Shutdown in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A smart gel electrolyte with thermal shutdown capability has been proposed enabled by a two‐step cross‐linking strategy, which preserves a high density of unreacted double bonds at room temperature. This strategy brings negligible degradation to room temperature electrochemical performance, while under thermal abuse conditions above 115 °C, the gel ...

Anion‐Synergistic Regulation of Solvation‐Layer Chemistry in Nonflammable Electrolytes Enables Highly Safe and Durable Sodium Metal Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study establishes a new anion‐synergistic solvation chemistry framework for directing interfacial reactions and stabilizing sodium metal anodes. Uncontrolled dendrite growth, accompanied by thermal runaway in sodium metal, remains a critical bottleneck for practical applications of sodium metal batteries (SMBs).
