Low‐Temperature in Situ Upgrading of Ultra‐Deep Heavy Oil Using Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf Superacid Catalysts to Enhance Energy Utilization and Sustainability

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A triflate‐functionalized Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf superacid enables low‐temperature (∼140°C) in situ upgrading of ultra‐deep heavy oil. It reduces viscosity by 92.11% in 12 h, maintains activity over cycles, and delivers 90.25% recovery with a lower carbon footprint by selective bond cleavage. ABSTRACT Ultra‐deep heavy oil is an important unconventional resource,

Breaking the Activity–Stability Scaling in RuO2 via Single‐ and Dual‐Doping Strategies

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Single and dual heteroatom doping redefines RuO2 for acidic oxygen evolution by synergistically tuning the electronic structure, lattice stability, and reaction pathways. Although single dopants optimize specific catalytic properties, dual dopants overcome the activity–stability trade‐off through cooperative electronic and geometric regulation ...

Ni–Pd Catalytic Synergy on Rod‐Shaped CeO2 for Boosting Low‐Temperature CH4 Oxidation

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Introducing Ni into Pd/CeO2 markedly accelerates deep CH4 oxidation by inducing a synergistic interaction between Ni and Pd species. This synergistic effect significantly improves low‐temperature activity and long‐term stability, providing a rational strategy for efficient CH4 abatement over Pd‐based catalysts under lean CH4 conditions while reducing ...

One‐Step Synthesis of Si–Graphene Heterostructures via in‐Flight Gas‐Phase Mixing for High‐Capacity Silicon‐Rich Anodes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A one‐step gas‐phase synthesis directly assembles amorphous Si nanoparticles with few‐layer graphene heterostructures via in‐flight mixing. Compositions with only 15 wt.% FLG deliver ~2800 mAh g−1 (Si + FLG) at 0.05 C and retain ~1400 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at a high cycling rate of 1 C, enabled by a percolated, strain‐buffering graphene network that

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

ENERGY &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 ...
