However, these binders, being ionic insulators by nature, can adversely affect charge transport within composite cathodes, thereby impacting the rate performance of the batteries. In this work, we aim to investigate the impact of fabrication methods, specifically the solvent-free dry process versus the slurry-cast wet process, on binder distribution and charge transport in composite cathodes of solid-state batteries. In the dry process, the binder forms a fibrous network, while the wet process results in binder coverage on the surface of cathode active materials. The difference in microstructure leads to a notable 20-fold increase in ionic conductivity in the dry-processed cathode. Consequently, the cells processed via the dry method exhibit higher capacity retention of 89% and 83% at C/3 and C/2 rates, respectively, in comparison to 68% and 58% for the wet-processed cells at the same rate. These findings provide valuable insights into the influence of fabrication methods on binder distribution and charge transport, contributing to a better understanding of the binder’s role in manufacturing of all-solid-state batteries.","PeriodicalId":221966,"journal":{"name":"Materials Futures","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131910971","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}

As an indispensable component, the electrolyte has the function of connecting the cathode and the anode, and play a key role on the performance of the battery. Different types of electrolytes have different effects on the performance of ZIBs, and the use of additives has further developed the research on modified electrolytes, thus effectively solving many serious problems faced by ZIBs. Therefore, to further explore the improvement of ZIBs by electrolyte engineering, it is necessary to summarize the current status of various electrolyte additives design, as well as their functions and mechanism in ZIBs. This paper analyzes the challenges faced by different electrolytes, reviews the different solutions of additives to solve battery problems in liquid electrolytes and solid electrolytes, and finally makes suggestions for the development of modified ZIBs electrolytes. It is hoped that the review and strategies proposed in this paper will facilitate development of new electrolyte additives for ZIBs.","PeriodicalId":221966,"journal":{"name":"Materials Futures","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133582881","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}

However, the underlying reasons are not yet fully understood. In a family of Mo-doped CrFeCoNi-based HEAs, we have identified three crucial factors that govern their performance: (i) homogeneous solid solution phase of HEAs helps to maintain high-valence states of metals; (ii) surface reconstruction results in a hybrid material comprising amorphous domains and percolated crystalline structures; (iii) diversity of active intermediate species (M–O, M–OOH, and, notably, the abundance of superoxide μ–OO), which display stronger adsorption capacity on the reconstructed surface. These results are revealing due to their resemblance to findings in other families of electrocatalysts for OER, as well as their unique features specific to HEAs. In line with these factors, a CrFeCoNiMo0.2 bulk integrated electrode displays a low overpotential of 215 mV, rapid kinetics, and long-term stability of over 90 d. Bulk HEAs hold great potential for industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":221966,"journal":{"name":"Materials Futures","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130806323","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}

However, their application is still hindered by several critical issues, e.g., the low conductivity of sulfur species, the shuttling effects of soluble lithium polysulfides, volumetric expansion, sluggish redox kinetics, and uncontrollable Li dendritic formation. Considerable research efforts have been devoted to breaking through the obstacles that are preventing Li–S batteries from realizing practical application. Recently, benefiting from the no additives/binders, buffer of volume change, high sulfur loading and suppression of lithium dendrites, nanoarray (NA) structures have have emerged as efficient and durable electrodes in Li–S batteries. In this work, recent advances in the design, synthesis and application of NA structures in Li–S batteries are reviewed. First, the multifunctional merits and typical synthetic strategies of employing NA structure electrodes for Li–S batteries are outlined. Second, the applications of NA structures in Li–S batteries are discussed comprehensively. Finally, the challenge and rational design of NA structure for Li–S batteries are analyzed in depth, with the aim of providing promising orientations for the commercialization of high-energy-density Li–S batteries.","PeriodicalId":221966,"journal":{"name":"Materials Futures","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126096964","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}

Visible light reaches the retina for human visual perception, but its excessive exposure can damage nearby tissues. However, there are relatively few reports on visible light–triggered nociceptors. Here, we introduce a two-dimensional natural defective III–VI semiconductor β-In2S3 and utilize its broad spectral response, including visible light brought by intrinsic defects, for visible light–triggered artificial photonic nociceptors. The response mode of the device, under visible light excitation, is very similar to that of the human eye. It perfectly reproduces the pain perception characteristics of the human visual system, such as ‘threshold,’ ‘relaxation,’ ‘no adaptation’, and ‘sensitization’. Its working principle is attributed to the mechanism of charge trapping associated with the intrinsic vacancies in In2S3 nanosheets. This work provides an attractive material system (intrinsic defective semiconductors) for broadband artificial photonic nociceptors.","PeriodicalId":221966,"journal":{"name":"Materials Futures","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129501341","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}
