Here, a donor-acceptor (D-A) polymer is employed to reconstruct a robust supramolecular polymer (SP) protective layer to achieve highly stable Zn anodes. The D-A polymer possessing abundant electron donor and acceptor sites can dynamically co-crosslink with water molecules and Zn<sup>2</sup>⁺ through multivalent dipole interactions (MDIs), resulting in the formation of a supramolecular polymer network. The MDIs disrupt the original strong hydrogen-bonding network within the D-A polymer, leading to the reconfiguration of polymer chain conformations and an increase in the intermolecular free volume exposing more widely distributed dipoles, thereby regulating the Zn<sup>2+</sup> desolvation behavior and facilitating rapid and uniform Zn<sup>2+</sup> plating. Meanwhile, the resultant supramolecular network endows the SP with an ultra-high mechanical modulus of 10.4 GPa, which can homogenize the stress distribution during the plating process for effective dendrite suppression. Consequently, the SP-assisted asymmetric cell achieves nearly 99.94% Coulombic efficiency over 9000 cycles, enabling the Zn/Zn cell to cycle for over 540 h under an ultrahigh 92% Zn utilization. Outstanding cycling stability is also successfully demonstrated in high mass-loading (≈12.8 mg cm<sup>−2</sup>) pouch cells, further demonstrating its prospects for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143853653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under these conditions, improving electrochemical performance necessitates accelerating the polysulfides conversion, while reducing self-discharge entails inhibiting the same conversion (disproportionation reaction, a key contributor to self-discharge). Herein, to address this challenging contradiction, an imprisoning strategy is designed that utilizes programmable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers formed only on the outer surface of TiO<sub>2−x</sub> coated hollow carbon spheres (TiO<sub>2−x</sub>@C). TiO<sub>2−x</sub>@C is chosen primarily because that it supports regulated SEI growth upon simple voltage control, leveraging the different SEI formation potential on TiO<sub>2−x</sub> and C, and its conductivity and catalytic property ensure high sulfur reaction kinetics. This strategy functions effectively even under practical conditions. The exposed internal surface provides abundant effective sites and the outer SEI (as a dense barrier) prevents polysulfides from migrating out of spheres, improving the electrochemical performance. These soluble polysulfides, being confined within spheres, easily reach saturation concentrations during storage, inhibiting disproportionation reaction. Consequently, SEI wrapped TiO<sub>2−x</sub>@C/sulfur cathodes exhibit both high electrochemical performance and low self-discharge.

Hydrogel electrolytes are regarded as promising substrates for these applications due to the ionic conductivity and safety. This work presents a quasi-solid-state electrolyte with a dual thermal insurance mechanism based on the unique structural, designed for the long-term safe operation of energy devices. The first protection involves microspheres embedded in the matrix and the hydrogel network, which initiate a dual-linkage effect and accelerate the hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic state transition in response to heat accumulation. This process rapidly closes the ion transport channels. Complementing this mechanism, water evaporation further impedes ion migration, forming the second thermal insurance. Due to the thermal reversibility of hydrogel network, the device's initial capacity can be restored upon cooling. Moreover, the regenerative behavior of electrolyte dynamically regulates matrix's water content, ensuring the recovery of ion transport capacity. Theoretical simulations and experiments demonstrate that the designed hydrogel electrolyte offers a broad and tunable temperature protection range. Notably, this thermally reversible protection can be repeated multiple times without compromising electrochemical performance, facilitating autonomous operation. The prepared hydrogels also demonstrate self-healing capabilities and mechanical flexibility, thereby enhancing the durability of self-heating protected energy storage devices.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143841729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A three-electrode membrane electrode assembly (MEA) setup is first utilized to decouple polarization behaviors of anode and cathode in AWEs. Following a proposed accelerated stress testing protocol, the setup allows for tracking individual electrode performance transformations during frequent reverse current operation. Integrating <i>operando</i> cell studies with in situ and post-mortem characterizations, it is showed that continuous formation of highly active species, nickel (oxy)hydroxides, improves the anode performance for oxygen evolution reaction.
