The SB, on one hand due to the alkaline feature, can significantly promote the decomposition of selenourea and Sb<sub>2</sub>Se<sub>3</sub> formation, eliminating the deep-level Sb<sub>S1</sub> defects and reducing the V<sub>S</sub> defects, and on the other hand, owing to the reducing property, can restore SbO<sup>+</sup> ions to Sb<sup>3+</sup>, thus inhibiting the Sb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> formation and improving heterogeneous nucleation with preferable [hk1] orientation.

However, regarding artificial water splitting, the research focus is primarily on inorganic semiconductors. Although organic photocatalysts have high structural variability, they tend to exhibit lower quantum efficiencies for water splitting than their inorganic counterparts. Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) offer an attractive route to introduce different functional units into covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and enable semiconducting properties and high chemical stability, creating promising materials for long-term photocatalytic applications, such as H<sub>2</sub> production. Herein, five highly crystalline donor-acceptor based, 4-substituted quinoline-linked MCR-COFs are presented that are prepared via the three-component Povarov reaction. The pore functionality is varied by applying different vinyl derivatives (e.g., styrene, 2-vinyl pyridine, 4-vinylpyridine, 4-vinyl imidazole, 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene), which has a strong influence on the obtained photocatalytic activity. Especially an imidazole-functionalized COF displays promising photocatalytic performance due to its high surface area, crystallinity, and wettability. These properties enable it to maintain its photocatalytic activity even in a membrane support. Furthermore, such MCR-COFs display dramatically enhanced (photo)chemical stability even after long-term solar light irradiation and exhibit a high and steady H<sub>2</sub> evolution for at least 15 days.","PeriodicalId":111,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Energy Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":27.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143897663","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}

In this study, soy protein (SP), a green and renewable biomass polymer, is explored as a backbone for solid-state electrolytes. SP-based solid-state electrolytes (SPPV@VEC-SSEs) are prepared with the soft-hard interpenetrating network by modulating the molecular structure of SP. In this process, the active groups on SP are utilized to form hydrogen bonds with polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), constructing a hard phase cross-linked network, which causes the folded quaternary structure of the SP to unfold and create more lithium ion transport channels; Then vinylethylene carbonate (VEC) monomers are infused into this network and are cross-linked through free radical polymerization to form a soft-hard interpenetrating cross-linked network, enhancing both the availability of lithium-ion transport sites and the improvement of interfacial performance. The SP-based solid-state electrolytes exhibit high ionic conductivity (7.95 × 10<sup>−4</sup> S cm<sup>−1</sup>) and Li<sup>+</sup> transference number (0.78) at 60 °C. The corresponding LFP||SPPV3@VEC-SSEs||Li battery delivers good cyclic stability up to >800 cycles under high temperature of 120 °C and high cycling rate of 2 C. Results of experimental and theoretical analysis reveal that the construction of the soft-hard interpenetrating network facilitates the unfolding of the quaternary structure of SP, exposing more oxygen-containing groups and cationic groups which effectively bind with Li<sup>+</sup> ions and anions of lithium salts. The zwitterionic structure of SP not only gives rise to high ionic conductivity but promotes the formation of a stable interface layer between the solid-state electrolyte and electrodes. Compared to organic polymer electrolytes (polyethylene oxide (PEO) and poly(trimethyl carbonate) (PTMC)), the SPPV@VEC-SSEs exhibit an order of magnitude lower release of organic volatiles, significantly reducing their environmental impact across the entire lifecycle.

An interfacial ion/electron redistribution strategy is proposed that establishes bidirectional regulation of plating/stripping dynamics through rationally designed Cu microsquare-patterned Zn electrodes. The heterogeneous Cu microsquare makes interfacial ion/electron redistributed, and random dendritic growth is restricted to certain regions and is no longer characterized by sustained growth. This interfacial engineering synergistically enhances ionic transfer in topographically guided bare Zn gaps while simultaneously activating preferential dendrite dissolution through surface energy-mediated overpotential elevation. The coordinated dual mechanism spatially confines stripping reactions within designated zones, achieving spontaneous dendrite eradication. In contrast to previous works concentrating on artificial interfacial layers or patterned designs, this work not only highlights the importance of adjusting ion and electron distribution in the plating/stripping process but also emphasizes the significance of confined and preferential regions in electrode design, achieving dendrite elimination.
