Ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) have potential applications in electronic, energy storage, and energy conversion devices owing to their unique properties. However, high-yield and large-scale manufacturing of high-quality ultra-thin 2D SiNSs remains a great challenge. This report describes a simple, high-yield (> 98%), and...
Perovskite-type proton-conducting materials, such as BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.1Yb0.1O3-delta (BCZYYb), are very attractive for the next generation equipment of electrochemical energy conversion and storage owing to their excellent conductivity in the intermediate-temperature range (300-750 degrees C), as well as good thermo-chemical stability, coking resista...

The interface structure of the electrode is closely related to the electrochemical performance of lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). In particular, a high-quality solid electrode interface (SEI) and uniform, dense lithium plating/stripping processes play a key role in achieving stable LMBs. Herein, a LiF-rich SEI and a uniform and dense plating/stripp...
To realise the promise of solid-state batteries, negative electrode materials exhibiting large volumetric expansions, such as Li and Si, must be used. These volume changes can cause significant mechanical stresses and strains that affect cell performance and durability, however their role and nature in SSBs are poorly understood. Here, a 2D electro...
Carbon-based materials are the most prospective anodes. Typically, a single carbon-based material is applied to different energy storage systems (EESs) without modification. However, the microcrystal structure of carbon plays a decisive role in the energy storage performance, and therefore, it should be adjusted when applied to different EESs. Here...

Although GPE still has the risk of shuttling due to the incomplete removal of liquid electrolytes compared to SPE, which has the most promise of eliminating polysulfide shuttling, researchers have made abundant efforts to eliminate as much of the polysulfide shuttling effect as possible while retaining the unique advantages of GPE. For example, phy...

High-performance rechargeable aluminum-ion (Al-ion) battery has received broad attention for ultrafast charging applications. Here, we develop a FeVO4@polyaniline (PANI) nanobelt composite composing of in-situ growing PANI nano-spine array on FeVO4 nanobelts, which display an excellent electrochemical performance as Al-ion battery cathode. After cy...
