To overcome these challenges, Ti-substituted NVPF cathodes are successfully synthesized using the sol–gel method in this study. Theoretical calculations and advanced analyses confirm that substituting Ti ions for V in the NVPF lattice effectively eliminates NVP impurities, mitigates the low-voltage plateau issue, and enhances both electronic conductivity and sodium-ion diffusion kinetics. Hence, the optimized Na3V1.95Ti0.05(PO4)2F3 cathode demonstrated a high initial capacity of 129.10 mAh g–1 at 0.2 C. Notably, it exhibited excellent cycling stability, with capacity retentions of 91.98% after 500 cycles at 5 C and 81.14% after 6000 cycles at 30 C, significantly outperforming the unsubstituted NVPF sample. This study provides a practical new approach for the development of high-performance cathode materials for SIBs and is expected to accelerate the commercialization process of SIBs.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672299","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}

This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to investigate charge carrier solvation in biredox eutectic electrolytes (BEEs) under diverse solvent and salt conditions. Results demonstrate that acetonitrile (ACN) molecules preferentially occupy the primary solvation shell of the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) anions (TFSI–) in the catholyte and the tetrabutylammonium cations (TBA+) in the anolyte, forming charge carrier solvation, thus decoupling the molecular interactions within the BEEs and accelerating the redox kinetics in ORFBs. With an optimized ACN-TBATFSI electrolyte, a prototype symmetrical flow cell can achieve a high output voltage of 2.35 V, high material utilization of 93%, and stable cyclability with a capacity retention rate of 99.97% per cycle after 1200 cycles. This work highlights the potential of modulating the charge carrier solvation to enhance the electrochemical performance of ORFBs.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672298","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}

The high performance of Bi@NC is mainly ascribed to the encapsulation of Bi with thick N-doped carbon and a partial K+-solvent co-intercalation mechanism in the ether-based electrolyte, which enable the formation of a conductive c-K3Bi discharge product and stable solid electrolyte interphase, ensuring loss-free pulverization while avoiding high energy-consuming desolvation, leading to fast charge transfer kinetics even at low temperature. Accordingly, the PIB assembled with the Bi@NC anode and TiS2 cathode exhibits exceptional rate and cycling performance especially at −40 °C.

In this study, we aim to establish a connection between the molecular structure and the density of states (DOS) profile related to thermoelectric performance. We synthesized three new diketopyrrolopyrrole-based polymers, each functionalized with amphipathic side chains. The only difference among these polymers is the number of sp2-N substitutions. Our findings indicate that as the number of substitutions increases, the DOS profile widens and intensifies, creating new peaks that extend toward the bandgap. This enables more efficient doping and coherent charge transport. Consequently, we achieved a high electrical conductivity of 63.8 S cm–1, a power factor of 111.8 μW m–1 K–2, and a ZT of 0.46, representing a significant advancement in n-type organic thermoelectrics.

Here we report on recent work to understand interrelationships between the intrinsic activity of Ni- and Pt-based electrolyzer cathode catalysts and their performance in zero-gap alkaline water electrolyzer assemblies. Our results suggest that nanoparticulate Ni–Mo exhibits HER activity that is roughly 10-fold lower than Pt–Ru on the basis of turnover frequency under low (≤100 mV) polarization conditions. We further found that the HER activity of Ni–Mo/C cathodes is inhibited by aryl piperidinium anion-exchange ionomers bearing bicarbonate counter-anions. After addressing this poisoning effect, we produced electrolyzer assemblies based on Ni–Mo/C cathodes that delivered indistinguishable current density vs cell potential relationships compared to otherwise identical assemblies with Pt–Ru cathodes. This result indicates that the contribution of the cathode to the total cell polarization is small, even for the less active Ni–Mo/C catalyst, and further implies that Pt-based cathodes can indeed be replaced by nonprecious alternatives with no loss in performance.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640187","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}

Herein, we report a Janus membrane with asymmetrical proton transport for cross-communication harmony in Zn–V batteries, designed to harmonize these contrasting requirements. The MXene-rich phase blocks the proton/water transport through the F-termination site and effectively suppresses dendrite formation through epitaxial growth. Meanwhile, the proton selective cellulose-rich phase (H+/Zn2+ selectivity of over 21) stabilizes the cathode/electrolyte interface by capturing dissolved vanadium and enhancing proton intercalation into the cathode. This designed Janus membrane enables a practical Zn–V full battery at a high depth of discharge of 66.7% and extreme lean electrolyte (1 g/Ah) conditions, enabling the high energy zinc battery (214.8 Wh/kgelectrode).

In the present study, we develop a machine learning (ML) approach that accurately predicts the current–voltage behavior of 3D/2D-structured (FAMA)Pb(IBr)3/OABr HOIP solar cells under AM1.5 illumination. Using measured responses from 368 devices, we train a neural network (NN) with three optical inputs of constituent HOIP films (transmission, spectrally resolved photoluminescence, and time-resolved photoluminescence) to predict the solar cell’s open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Jsc), and fill factors (FF). The model achieves 91%, 94%, and 89% accuracy for 95% of Voc, Jsc, and FF predictions, with coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.47, 0.77, and 0.58, respectively. By linking ML predictions to extracted physical parameters from the measured HOIP films optical properties, we identify key factors influencing the prediction results. Furthermore, we develop separate ML-classification algorithms that identify degraded solar cells with >90% accuracies using the same optical data. This work demonstrates an efficient, nondestructive approach for HOIP solar cell assessment that can assist in accelerating the next generation of perovskite solar cell developments.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143635388","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}
