Kim, Donghai Wang","doi":"10.1038/s41560-025-01803-y","DOIUrl":"10.1038/s41560-025-01803-y","url":null,"abstract":"Stabilizing lithium (Li) metal anodes has long been hindered by the challenge of forming a stable solid–electrolyte interphase, stemming from the inherently high reactivity of Li metal with liquid electrolytes. Here we developed a progressive dual-passivation polymer coating strategy to stabilize Li-metal anodes, achieving exceptional cycle life of Li-metal batteries in carbonate electrolyte. Unlike current approaches, the synthesized copolymer coating passivates the Li-metal anode while also tailoring the Li-ion solvation structure by facilitating selective anion decoordination in a binary salt carbonate electrolyte. This process leads to the formation of an integrated solid–electrolyte interphase, featuring a chemical passivation outer layer predominant in LiF generated by the polymer coating and an anion-derived Li2O-prevalent inner layer from the electrolyte decomposition. Consequently, this coating strategy remarkably enhances the stability of Li-metal anodes, enabling double-layer Li||NMC811 pouch cells to maintain 80% of their initial capacity up to 611 cycles under a low electrolyte/capacity (E/C) ratio of 2.0 g Ah−1. Stabilizing lithium-metal anodes is challenging due to their high reactivity with electrolytes. This work presents a dual-passivation polymer coating that enhances solid–electrolyte interphase stability, improving cycling performance and increasing capacity retention over extended cycles.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"10 8","pages":"941-950"},"PeriodicalIF":60.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144488409","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}

Large-area fabrication requires the development of scalable manufacturing techniques while minimizing performance losses compared with laboratory-scale spin coating. Additionally, achieving long-term stability, reliability, efficient integration from cell to module, and high yield during practical deployment remain critical hurdles. Here we address these key aspects, summarize the latest field advancements and highlight strategies to overcome these challenges. By offering insights into the pathway towards reliable, durable and high-performance all-perovskite tandem photovoltaics, we aim to support their deployment in large-scale applications.

We briefly unpack terms such as ‘energy poor’, ‘fuel poor’, ‘energy vulnerable’ and ‘hard to reach’, question their utility and argue that they may do more harm than good. While acknowledging our own positionality and past use of such terminology, we argue that future debates on the inability to secure needed energy in the home should focus on the structural challenges imposed by wider societal and political choices. We contend that changing the ways in which energy injustices in the home are framed in scientific and policy phraseologies is a key step towards bold and equitable global action, in the face of mounting socio-environmental crises. Terminology surrounding home energy injustices has been crucial for drawing attention to this issue; however, as the field develops, so must associated language. This Perspective argues that the scientific and policy phraseologies around energy injustices in the home need to be updated.","PeriodicalId":19073,"journal":{"name":"Nature Energy","volume":"10 7","pages":"806-810"},"PeriodicalIF":60.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144304827","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}
