“…The energy densities of 464.1 Wh kg –1 and 223.5 Wh kg –1 were achieved at power densities of 0.56 kW kg –1 and 16.6 kW kg –1 , respectively, and also showed good capacity retention of 93.2% of the initial value after 1500 charge/discharge cycles at a current density of 4 A g –1 . Kim et al developed a wearable photosensor, with the battery’s complete design and fabrication using electrospinning, 3D printing, and laser micromachining for the development of wireless electronic devices made by poly(aniline) (PANI)-coated with carbon fiber (CF) as cathode, stereolithography (SLA), and electrospinning, with zinc (Zn) as anode and 1 M ZnCl 2 as an electrolyte as shown in Figure e,f. This battery exhibits a discharge capacity of 165 mAh g –1 at 1 C and retained 50% and 19%, at 34 and 600 C, respectively, due to the rational design and 3D structure of the cathode which enables speedy ion diffusion.…”

Electrical energy storage is an ever growing and important area of research in a modern technological world. The quest for energy storage materials is always in the limelight of research for the replacement of conventional environmentally toxic metal-based redox-active materials by organic molecules which provides an alternative for rechargeable batteries. Zinc/magnesium-based conducting polymer batteries attracted significant attention due to their high abundance, safety, and cost-effectiveness compared with lithium ion batteries (LIBs). This Review lays out an extensive overview of metal anodes like zinc/magnesium with conducting polymer cathode materials that possess high conductivity and theoretical capacitance. In addition, the complete redox behavior of polymer cathodes, the mechanism, the anode behavior in acidic and alkaline media, the effect of different electrolyte uses and drawbacks, the binders, and the housing of these batteries have been reviewed in detail. The socioeconomic impact, problems associated with dendrite, and passive layer formation with zinc/magnesium polymer cathode batteries, as well as future perspectives, will give a complete overview for the general reader as well as for experts working in these fields.

Laser has been demonstrated to be a mature and versatile tool that presents great flexibility and applicability for the precision engineering of a wide range of materials over other established micromachining techniques. Past decades have witnessed its rapid development and extensive applications ranging from scientific researches to industrial manufacturing. Transparent hard materials remain several major technical challenges for conventional laser processing techniques due to their high hardness, great brittleness, and low optical absorption. A variety of hybrid laser processing technologies, such as laser-induced plasma-assisted ablation, laser-induced backside wet etching, and etching assisted laser micromachining, have been developed to overcome these barriers by introducing additional medium assistance or combining different process steps. This article reviews the basic principles and characteristics of these hybrid technologies. How these technologies are used to precisely process transparent hard materials and their recent advancements are introduced. These hybrid technologies show remarkable benefits in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and quality for the fabrication of microstructures and functional devices on the surface of or inside the transparent hard substrates, thus enabling widespread applications in the fields of microelectronics, bio-medicine, photonics, and microfluidics. A summary and outlook of the hybrid laser technologies are also highlighted.
