Sn-doped BiOCl nanosheet with synergistic H+/Zn2+ co-insertion for “rocking chair” zinc-ion battery

High-Voltage and Stable Manganese Hexacyanoferrate/Zinc Batteries Using Gel Electrolytes

“…XRD results show that the peak (2θ = 36.1°) intensity of the Zn(002) plane increases with the cycling time, corresponding to two-dimensional (2D) zinc in the anode surface. There is no peak at 2θ = 8° (corresponding to Zn 4 SO 4 (OH) 6 · x H 2 O byproducts), − indicating that the zinc side reaction in gel-0.3 is less and has higher reversibility. In 1 M ZnSO 4 , a peak of 2θ = 8° was observed after 100 cycles, indicating that zinc endured a strong side reaction in 1 M ZnSO 4 (Figure S19).…”

Energy storage and water splitting applications of self-grown Na2O–NiCl2 upright standing nanoplates: a process of 3D nickel surface modification using seawater

“…The presence of extended redox peaks from the neutral state is due to increase in the redox potentials with respective to the scan rate. [36][37][38] The GCD measurements with different current densities of the as-synthesized Na 2 O-NiCl 2 @NiF are provided in Fig. 2(d).…”

ZnO/Carbon Shell/Carbon Cloth as a Stable Host for High Li-Content Anodes

“…5−7 During plating, the deposited Li grows longitudinally into a dendritic morphology and pierces the separator, which causes safety concerns. 8,9 Li metal reacts with the liquid electrolyte and forms a brittle solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. In addition, the huge volume change during Li plating/stripping (1 mA h cm −2 Li deposit corresponds to 4.9 μm in thickness) accelerates SEI fracture.…”

“…The development of sustainable energy promotes the research of energy storage systems. The Li metal battery (LMB) has been considered a promising candidate due to the high theoretical capacity (3860 mA h g –1 ) and ultralow electrochemical potential (−3.040 V vs standard hydrogen electrode) of Li metal anodes. − However, the practical application of Li metal anodes is still hindered by some challenges, such as dendrite formation and ceaseless side reactions. − During plating, the deposited Li grows longitudinally into a dendritic morphology and pierces the separator, which causes safety concerns. , Li metal reacts with the liquid electrolyte and forms a brittle solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. In addition, the huge volume change during Li plating/stripping (1 mA h cm –2 Li deposit corresponds to 4.9 μm in thickness) accelerates SEI fracture.…”
