Contrary to prior research, this study investigates the darker side of the parents-children holiday to examine travel conflicts in family trips with 18 to 30-year-old adult children and their causes in adult children's eyes. Three-step analysis of interviews and netnography reveal five types of parent-adult children conflicts in pre-and during-travel stage, namely, travel choice and consumption, travel involvement level, schedule, and unreasonable parental behavior. These conflicts are caused by intergenerational differences and personal characteristics. The findings enrich our understandings of the needs and wants of different generational family travelers which can support businesses to design family travel products better.
The strong reactivity of water in aqueous electrolytes toward metallic zinc (Zn), especially at aggressive operating conditions, remains the fundamental obstacle to the commercialization of aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs). Here, a water‐immiscible ionic liquid diluent 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide (EmimFSI) is reported that can substantially suppress the water activity of aqueous electrolyte by serving as a “water pocket”, enveloping the highly active H2O‐dominated Zn2+ solvates and protecting them from parasitic reactions. During Zn deposition, the cation Emim+ and anion FSI− function respectively in mitigating the tip effect and regulating the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), thereby favoring a smooth Zn deposition layer protected by inorganic species‐enriched SEI featuring high uniformity and stability. Combined with the boosted chemical/electrochemical stability endowed by the intrinsic merits of ionic liquid, this ionic liquid‐incorporated aqueous electrolyte (IL‐AE) enables the stable operation of Zn||Zn0.25V2O5·nH2O cells even at a challenging temperature of 60 °C (>85% capacity retention over 400 cycles). Finally, as an incidental but practically valuable benefit, the near‐zero vapor pressure nature of ionic liquid allows the efficient separation and recovery of high‐value components from the spent electrolyte via a mild and green approach, promising the sustainable future of IL‐AE in realizing practical AZMBs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
