Herein, interface engineering by facilitating M-N-C catalysts (M from 3d to 4d electron-containing elements) with MXene has been utilized to regulate their ORR performance. It is found that the charge transfer occurring within the interface not only tunes the electron occupancy of the 3d/4d orbitals of the metal site, but also delocalizes the population of the d states. This alternation enhances the mobility of the electrons and promotes the 4e catalytic process thermodynamically. Meanwhile, the formation of ∗HOOH, the key reaction intermediate for 2e reaction, is hindered due to the alleviation of the binding capacity, which is beneficial to improve production selectivity. This study provides foundational understanding for the ORR catalytic mechanism at the atomic level and opens up new avenues for designing high-demanded electrocatalysts.","PeriodicalId":18277,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142188327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When paired with lithium manganese oxide (LMO) in a full-cell configuration, the NbO-based full-cells achieve high-rate capability (∼90 mAh/g up to 2C cycling rate at −20 °C) and great long-term stability (>98% retention up to 50 cycles at −20 °C). During a simulated 30 min duty cycling test synthesized from measured data from an actual drone flight (continuous range of 1.2C–2C cycling rates), the NbO||LMO cell enables full discharge at −20 °C, with only a 0.3 V voltage drop when compared to duty cycling at room temperature.

Herein, Cu(BTC) (HKUST-1) as a compact functional interface layer on the surface of bare Zn foil is shown to improve the reversibility of Zn-plating/stripping process. Interestingly, HKUST-1 possesses high porosity, large number of water molecule vacancies, and Cu active center, which help to enhance the diffusion kinetics of Zn and reduce the surface free energy of Zn electrode. Combining theoretical calculations with experiments, the HKUST-1 can contribute to the desolvation process of Zn[(HO)] and balance Zn concentration, which thus accelerate Zn transfer kinetics, lower interfacial energy, and homogenize ion-distribution. Attributed to these superiorities, the HKUST-1@Zn symmetric cells demonstrate excellent stable plating/stripping for over 250 h under ultra-high current density (20 mA/cm and 20 mAh/cm).

However, the effect of the quality of perovskite on PSCs performance has not been well studied. Herein, we fabricated high-quality perovskite films by employing an organic small molecule, tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (TFB) as an additive material. It was found that the perovskite films with TFB become smoother and pinhole-free morphology with increased grain size and reduced trap-state density. More importantly, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy results reveal that the high-quality TFB-doped perovskite films can significantly slow down HCs cooling process compared with pristine perovskite film, which is beneficial for prolonging the lifetime of carriers and reducing the charge carrier recombination in the device. Accordingly, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of CsFAMA-based PSCs doping with TFB is enhanced to 22.56% from the control device (20.22%). Compared with 21.79% efficiency for the control device, a high PCE of 24.09% is obtained in FA-based PSCs treated with TFB. Besides, the unencapsulated TFB-doped device retains 91% of its initial value after storing for 1900 h under ambient conditions (∼45% humidity).

Herein, the thermoelectric properties of CaDyTiO ( = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) compounds are systematically investigated. The electrical transport properties are markedly enhanced by synergistic optimization of the carrier concentration, mobility, and density-of-states effective mass. Density functional theory results demonstrate that the conduction band tends to be sharper and that the lighter band participates in carrier transport after Dy doping. The large discrepancy in atomic mass results in considerable mass fluctuations, which give rise to intense phonon scattering. Benefitting from the modulated band structure and reduced thermal conductivity, the highest thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of 0.31 is achieved at 1073 K, enhanced by 287.5% in contrast with pristine CaTiO ( = 0.08).

PSCs with these filters retained 90% and 100% of their initial performance when exposed to UV light and AM 1.5 solar radiation, respectively, for more than 900 h, while PSCs without filters degraded to 14 and 70% of their initial performance under the same conditions.
