Electrolyte performance is largely determined by its solvation structure, which is influenced by the solvating power of the solvents. Thus, a quantitative descriptor for the solvating power of solvents is highly required to rationally design high-performance electrolytes. However, a unified quantitative descriptor for the solvating power of solvents has not been established. This review summarizes the developed quantitative descriptors of solvating power, categorizing them into three types based on the intrinsic properties of solvents, the interaction strength between probes and solvents, and the bulk properties of electrolytes. The physicochemical significance and explorations in guiding the electrolyte design of these quantitative descriptors are discussed in detail. Moreover, strategies for regulating the solvating power of the solvents are presented. Finally, an outlook on investigating the solvating power of solvents and guiding the rational design of high-performance electrolytes is proposed.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145071993","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 two-electron, two-proton process is particularly attractive due to its operational simplicity and scalability, with copper- and silver-based nanomaterials being the most widely studied catalysts as the field approaches industrial maturity. However, achieving the necessary efficiency and stability for practical applications remains a significant challenge. Recently, molecular catalysts immobilized on conductive surfaces with carbon-based inks have emerged as highly tunable hybrid systems capable of remarkable selectivity. In this work, we report that a straightforward cobalt phthalocyanine complex, simply modified with a single trimethylammonium group, delivers outstanding CO2-to-CO conversion rates and selectivity, reaching a Faradaic efficiency of 93% at a total current density of 700 mA/cm2 (jCO = 650 mA/cm2) at neutral pH. Notably, CO selectivity above 90% was sustained for over 42 h at 150 mA/cm2, illustrating the potential of simply designed molecular catalysts for large-scale applications.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072074","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, a new type of self-quenched battery with an anode failure hunter was developed in which a high flame retardant was utilized to react with the LixC6 of the anode, making it ineffective at a temperature range of 90–120 °C, avoiding its reaction with the oxygen produced by the cathode and blocking the occurrence of a large scale chain exothermic reaction (O2 + LixC6). After the anode failure hunter was assembled as a self-quenched battery, the onset temperature of the self-quenched battery was increased by 15.5 °C, improving battery safety from the intrinsic level. More importantly, the energy release of the thermal runaway for the self-quenched battery has been reduced by 123.7 °C, significantly improving the safety of the battery. Therefore, such work could provide a new strategy to design devices for solving the safety issue in LIBs.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072076","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 is why achieving structural resolution is essential. This study demonstrates how often-hidden structural polymorphism profoundly influences the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OPVs. The devices consisting of PM6:Y6 BHJ layers cast from low-boiling chloroform (CF; PCE ≈ 15%) and high-boiling o-xylene solvents (o-XY; PCE ≈ 10%) exhibit morphology-dependent optical absorption, charge transport, and recombination dynamics. A synergistic multimodal characterization combined with device physics reveals that the retention of solvents and additives leads to polymorphous BHJ layers, contributing to performance variation. These results strengthen the conclusion that green solvent selection should be guided not only by environmental considerations but also by a thorough understanding of structure–property interrelations, which are vital for improving material performance in OPVs.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072078","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 residual N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) in the perovskite films hinders the complete reaction between perovskite components, adversely affecting the perovskite crystal crystallinity, crystal orientation, and stability. To address this issue, we introduced propionic acid (PA) into the perovskite solution to facilitate the removal of the NMP. PA weakened the intermolecular interaction between PbI2 with NMP, increased the volatility of the perovskite solvent system, and thus promoted more efficient NMP evaporation during the perovskite film formation. As a result, the optimized perovskite films exhibit significantly improved crystal quality, and the devices exhibit a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.86% in the small-area device. In addition, by enlarging the perovskite film area, we achieved 23.08% PCE for the rigid module (4 cm2) and 16.27% PCE for the flexible module (over 100 cm2), showing them to be well-suited for the commercial manufacturing of perovskite photovoltaics.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"171 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072077","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 review systematically traces the evolution of SAMs, explores their molecular-level functionalities, and examines their self-assembly mechanisms and diverse applications in PSCs.

In this study, we present a highly conductive electrolyte formulation based on a ternary solvent system consisting of acetonitrile (AN), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), and ethylene carbonate (EC), combined with a tailored additive, lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB). This electrolyte demonstrates significantly enhanced ionic conductivity and a higher Li+ transference number, enabling accelerated Li+ transport kinetics. The synergistic effect of the solvents and the additive promotes the formation of a robust, low-resistance, inorganic-rich solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) that effectively passivates the graphite surface and suppresses AN decomposition. As a result, the electrolyte substantially reduces internal cell resistance and overpotential, both of which are critical for reliable fast charging. These findings highlight the essential role of rational electrolyte design in addressing the limitations of fast-charging LIBs.","PeriodicalId":16,"journal":{"name":"ACS Energy Letters ","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145072081","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}
