As a common biomass resource, wheat straw is gradually being derived as carbon materials for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in zinc-air batteries (ZABs). Herein, the wheat straw-derived carbon was prepared by ball milling and pyrolysis using deep eutectic solvent (DES) as the medium, which avoided the cumbersome procedures. The hydrogen bond of DE...

Design strategies to achieve degradation and ideally closed-loop recycling of organic semiconductors have attracted great interest in order to minimize the electronic waste (E-waste). In this work, three ester-incorporated monomers were synthesized by the names of Thiophene-Ester-Ethylene-Thiophene (TEET), Thiophene-Ester-Methylene-Thiophene (TEMT)...

Water oxidation is a crucial reaction in the artificial photosynthesis system. In the present work, density functional calculations were employed to decipher the mechanism of water oxidation catalyzed by a binuclear cobalt complex, which was disclosed to be a homogeneous water oxidation catalyst in pH=7 phosphate buffer. The calculations showed tha...

Poor interfacial contact between solid-state electrolytes and electrodes limits high-voltage performance of solid-state lithium batteries. A new gel electrolyte is proposed via in-situ polymerization, incorporating fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) solvent and ionic liquid1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (PP14 TFSI). This...

Organic battery electrode materials offer the unique opportunity for full cells to operate in an anion-rocking chair mode. For this configuration a pair of p-type redox-active electrode materials is required with a substantial potential gap between their redox processes. We herein investigate viologen-functionalized polystyrenes as negative electro...

Amorphous Al2 O3 film that naturally exists on any Al substrate is a critical bottleneck for the cyclic performance of metallic Al in rechargeable Al batteries. The so-called electron/ion insulator Al oxide slows down the anode's activation and hinders Al plating/stripping. The Al2 O3 film induces different surface properties (roughness and microst...
