Mixed Ion‐Electron Thermoelectric Generators With Ionogels Blended With MXene Continuously Harvesting Heat Under Both Steady and Fluctuated Temperature Gradients

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A mixed ion‐electron thermoelectric generator (MTEG) based on MXene ionogels converts both steady and fluctuating temperature gradients into continuous electricity. The hybrid conduction arises from electron tunneling through MXene networks and ionic diffusion driven by the Soret effect, enabling stable voltage output and high thermopower for efficient

Engineering Mechanically Adaptive Nanonetworks for Long‐Life and High‐Capacity Silicon Anode Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silicon anodes, with a theoretical capacity of ~3860 mAh g−1, offer more than ten times the lithium storage of graphite but suffer from large volume expansion during lithiation, leading to particle fracture, electrical disconnection, and unstable solid–electrolyte interphases (SEIs). In this study, we present a rheology‐guided materials design

Enhancing hydrogen evolution reaction by harnessing bubble dynamics regulation: Principles, methods, and outlook

Droplet, EarlyView.
Bubble dynamics pose critical bottlenecks to hydrogen evolution reaction efficiency, causing active site isolation, increased ohmic resistance, and concentration overpotential, especially at high current densities. This review comprehensively summarizes passive and active bubble manipulation strategies, elucidates their underlying principles, and ...
