However, traditional solution growth methods struggle with crystallization control and phase purity, while solid-phase synthesis methods encounter high-density grain boundary traps. To tackle these issues, we devised a scalable method combining physical thermal field and chemical bonding to fabricate inch-sized FAPbI3 wafers, enabling efficient near-infrared photodetection. By integrating a 120 °C hot-pressing to stabilize the photoactive α phase and polyaniline polymer to conduct and passivate the grain boundaries, we obtained quasi-single crystal FAPbI3 wafers on a large scale. This approach overcomes the critical challenges of phase impurities and high-density defects, enhancing the phase stability of the FAPbI3 wafers. As a result, the FAPbI3 wafer-based photodetector exhibits an impressive external quantum efficiency of 312% at 854 nm near-infrared wavelength at 5 V bias, accompanied by a detectivity (D *) of 4.69 × 1014 Jones and rapid response time in microsecond-scale. This performance surpasses conventional solution-grown single crystals, providing a scalable foundation for future integrated perovskite optoelectronic devices.","PeriodicalId":21863,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Materials","volume":"4 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://f.oaes.cc/xmlpdf/c3396ffd-fd61-4435-91ee-d0861a7117dc/em4054.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147896817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, supported noble metal catalysts are preferred in commercial applications due to their outstanding catalytic activity for eliminating CO, hydrocarbon compounds and NOx. In this paper, we employ the flame spray pyrolysis method to prepare a series of Pt-based catalysts with four different supports (TiO2, ZrO2, MgO and ZnO) and variable low Pt loadings for catalytic combustion of CO and CH4. The performance of 0.5 Pt/TiO2 is the best in all samples, in which the T90 temperatures are 107 and 500 °C for 90% conversion of CO and CH4, respectively. To examine its thermal stability, a time-on-stream test at 700 °C for 420 min is carried out, resulting in a decrease of about 5% in the final conversion of CH4. The X-ray diffraction results show that TiO2 support is a mixed phase with a major amount of anatase and a small amount of rutile other than a pure phase of ZrO2, MgO and ZnO. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy observation show that when the Pt loading is low, the Pt species exist as highly dispersed single atoms on the surface of the TiO2 support. As the Pt loading gradually increases, the state of the Pt species transitions from single atoms to Pt clusters, resulting in a decrease in dispersion. Ultimately, the Pt can successfully accumulate on the surface of the TiO2 nanoparticles, providing abundant active sites for efficient catalytic combustion reactions.","PeriodicalId":21863,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Materials","volume":"4 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147904506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, Li-rich dual-phase barium (Ba)-based alloy composed of BaLi4 intermetallic compounds and Li metal phases is thermally incorporated into commercial carbon cloth sheets to develop Li-Ba alloy composite (LBAC) anodes featuring a porous array of BaLi4 microchannels as the built-in 3D skeleton. Doping of metallic Ba can greatly lower the surface tension of liquid Li and improve the wettability of the molten Li-Ba alloy toward the carbon cloth substrate. Moreover, LBAC benefits from the superior lithiophilicity and the porous architecture of BaLi4 skeleton nested in a conductive carbon fiber matrix, leading to stable cycling performance by confining Li stripping/plating in microchannels network of BaLi4 alloy framework and dissipating high current densities. As a result, the LBAC symmetrical cells can run stably for 1,000 h under 1 mA cm-2 and 1 mA h cm-2, and the capacity retention can retain 93.3% after 300 cycles in the full cell with areal capacity of 2.45 mA h cm-2.

However, MES still faces challenges in achieving high production of value-added chemicals due to the limited extracellular electron transfer efficiency at the biotic-abiotic interfaces. To overcome this bottleneck, it is crucial to develop novel cathodes and modified materials. This review systematically summarizes recent advancements in cathode materials in the field of electrocatalyst-assisted and photocatalyst-assisted MES. The effects of various material types are further investigated by comparing metal-free and metal materials and photocatalyst materials of different semiconductor types. Additionally, the review introduces the maximum production rate of value-added chemicals and conversion efficiency achieved by these cathode materials while highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of different material types. To the best of our knowledge, in electrocatalyst-assisted systems, the maximum CH4 yield on graphene aerogel/polypyrrole cathode achieved 1,672 mmol m-2 d-1, and the maximum Faraday efficiency (FE) of CH4 reached up to 97.5% on graphite plate. Meanwhile, the maximum acetate yield achieved 1,330 g m-2 d-1 with CO2 conversion efficiency into acetate close to 100% on carbon nanotube cathodes. In photocatalyst-assisted systems, the maximum acetate yield could reach 0.51 g L-1 d-1 with the coulombic efficiency of 96% on the MnFe2O4/g-C3N4 photocathode.

Benefiting from the prominent property, fluorine plays an important role in the development of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in terms of cathode materials (transition metal fluorides, fluorinated polyanionic compounds), electrolytes, and interfaces. In cathode materials, the highly electronegative renders enhanced ionic character of transition metal fluorine bonds and correspondingly high working potential in electrolytes; fluorinated electrolytes possess good antioxidant ability and flame retardance, which can significantly improve the thermal safety of a battery. On an electrode-electrolyte interface, the fluorine-rich inorganic component (such as LiF and NaF) is essential for the formation of a robust and stable solid electrolyte interface on anodes. Despite the remarkable advances achieved in fluorinated cathodes, electrolytes, and interfaces, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding of the function of fluorides in LIBs and SIBs. Accordingly, this review briefly summarized the recent progress of fluorine-based electrodes, electrolytes, and interfaces and highlighted the correlation between the composition, property, and function to reveal the fluorine chemistry in LIBs and SIBs. This review will provide guidance for the rational design and targeted regulation of fluorine-dominated high-performance electrode materials, functionalized electrolytes, and consolidated interfaces.","PeriodicalId":21863,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Materials","volume":"18 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135391224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a closed-loop regeneration of SLFP cathodes is proposed, in which a facile cold stimulation route is invented to peel the SLFP layer from Al foil, and then Li and Fe elements are selectively and efficiently extracted from the peeling SLFP layer under mild conditions based on an oxidant of NaClO. The leaching rate of elemental Li could reach 98.3%, and the regenerated LFP synthesized by recovered Li2CO3 and FePO4 shows exceptional performance with a discharge capacity of 162.6 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C.

The polymer matrix was obtained from thermal curing ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate while the liquid electrolyte consisted of a protic ionic liquid based on the ethyl-imidazolium cation [C2HIm] and the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide [TFSI] anion, doped with LiTFSI salt. We report that the confined liquid phase exhibits the following characteristics: (i) a distinctly reduced degree of crystallinity; (ii) a broader distribution of relaxation times; (iii) reduced dielectric strength; (iv) a reduced cooperativity length scale at the liquid-to-glass transition temperature (T g); and (v) up-speeded local T g-related ion dynamics. The latter is indicative of weak interfacial interactions between the two nanophases and a strong geometrical confinement effect, which dictates both the ion dynamics and the coupled structural relaxation, hence lowering Tg by about 4 K. We also find that at room temperature, the ionic conductivity of the structural electrolyte achieves a value of 0.13 mS/cm, one decade lower than the corresponding bulk electrolyte. Three mobile ions (Im+, TFSI-, and Li+) contribute to the measured ionic conductivity, implicitly reducing the Li+ transference number. In addition, we report that the investigated solid polymer electrolytes exhibit the shear modulus needed for transferring the mechanical load to the carbon fibers in a structural battery. Based on these findings, we conclude that optimized microphase-separated polymer electrolytes, including a protic ionic liquid, are promising for the development of novel multifunctional electrolytes for use in future structural batteries.","PeriodicalId":21863,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Materials","volume":"49 41","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135432602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
