Today’s commercial aqueous batteries lack the energy density and cycle life required to compete in the fast-growing transportation and grid storage sectors, but this will change as new materials and cell design strategies are developed. Many of the constraints of traditional aqueous batteries have been alleviated by innovations such as selective membranes, lean-water electrolytes and new types of electrode reactions. As a result, an unprecedentedly broad range of electrode chemistries may be paired in previously impossible ways via modular cell designs to achieve performance metrics unattainable by traditional aqueous batteries. These innovations, however, change the properties for which aqueous batteries are traditionally known, and may result in compromises. This Review starts by examining the historical evolution of aqueous batteries, summarizing their essential merits and limitations. It then analyses how modern chemistries and cell designs may further strengthen the merits of aqueous batteries and address their limits while sometimes compromising prior merits, providing a holistic and critical overview of modern aqueous battery design. The emergence of new materials and cell designs is enabling the transition of aqueous batteries into competitive candidates for reliable and affordable energy storage. This Review critically examines the scientific advances that have enabled such a transition and explores future research prospects.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"8 2","pages":"109-122"},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48231944","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}

Yet metal-oxide/perovskite interfaces are often highly defective, owing to both metal-oxide and perovskite surface defects. This results in non-radiative recombination and impedes charge transfer. Moreover, during operation, such interfaces may suffer from undesirable chemical reactions and mechanical delamination issues. Solving this multifaceted challenge requires a holistic approach to concurrently address the interfacial defect, charge-transfer, chemical stability and delamination issues, to bring perovskite solar cell technology closer to commercialization. With this motivation, we review and discuss the issues associated with the metal-oxide/perovskite interface in detail. With this knowledge at hand, we then suggest solutions based on molecular engineering for many, if not all, challenges that encumber the metal-oxide/perovskite interface. Specifically, in light of the semiconducting and ultrafast charge-transfer properties of dyes and the recent success of self-assembled monolayers as charge-selective contacts, we discuss how such molecules can potentially be a promising solution for all metal-oxide/perovskite interface issues. In perovskite solar cells, metal-oxide/perovskite interfaces suffer from a combination of issues related to interfacial defects, charge transfer, chemical stability and delamination, limiting performance. This Review discusses how molecular engineering of metal-oxide/perovskite interfaces with self-assembled monolayers can provide a solution and help to bring perovskite solar cells to market.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"8 2","pages":"89-108"},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45783141","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}

However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate force-induced functionalities across a wide range of scales, encompassing the cell, tissue or organ levels, are not well understood in comparison. With the advent, development and refining of single-molecule nanomechanical techniques that enable the conformational dynamics of individual proteins under the effect of a calibrated force to be probed, we have begun to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the diverse physicochemical principles that regulate the elasticity of single proteins. Here, we review the major advances underpinning our current understanding of how the elasticity of single proteins regulates mechanosensing and mechanotransduction. We discuss the present limitations and future challenges of this prolific and burgeoning field. Mechanical force modulates the conformation and function of individual proteins, and this underpins many mechanically driven cellular processes. This Review addresses single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments conducted on proteins with a known role in mechanosensing and mechanotransduction in eukaryotic cells.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"8 1","pages":"10-24"},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10646440","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 these multivariate systems, unknown spatial arrangements of functionalities create properties that go beyond those of their simple sum. It is therefore essential that we learn how to recognize, study and use these arrangements, and for this purpose we propose using the concept of sequences. Accordingly, we propose a classification system, outline a method for characterizing sequences and describe the application to self-propelled reticular machines. On a fundamental level, this contribution transforms the chemist’s thinking from the usual ‘make, characterize, use’ protocol of doing chemistry to a discovery routine based on finding correlations between input synthesis parameters and output performance. This approach provides an alternative and widely accessible pathway for determining the properties that the system of sequences confers on multivariate reticular structures. One of the most advanced and challenging topics in modern reticular chemistry is structure multivariation. This Perspective defines the fundamentals of multivariation by considering sequences of chemical species as its true essence, thereby addressing the classification of multivariate structures and presenting new concepts for their analysis and application.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"8 5","pages":"331-340"},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41969937","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}
